Some time has passed since the spring rain season, but the water level in the Yangtze River is still rising. This is due to the melting of snow in the upper reaches.
At the foot of Laojun Mountain on the north bank, the Mongolian army launched another offensive. They had leveled all the trenches, and the vanguard composed of the Mongolian and Han troops began to charge up the hillside.
The Song army's arrows were obviously exhausted and sparse, making it difficult to cause many casualties.
Rolling rocks were rolling down the hillside, and most of the Mongolian soldiers had learned to avoid them, but there were always some who were unlucky enough to have half of their bodies smashed into pieces and fell to the ground screaming in agony.
The Mongolian soldiers stepped forward cautiously and killed such wounded soldiers with one blow, so as not to affect their morale.
The horse in the car was stationed at the foot of the mountain, raising its head and carefully observing the Song army's reaction. It took a long time before running towards Niulin's position.
"Marshal Du, the Song army must have run out of food and grass. I see that they are pushing wood and rocks much slower..."
Defending the mountain with wood and rocks certainly involves more than just "pushing", but also cutting, digging, carrying, etc. Whether one's physical strength can keep up is reflected in this process.
It was obvious that the Song army could not hold out for long.
But Nulin was still not satisfied.
Half of a day's grain can last two days, and then half a grain can be eaten again. Even if the Song army was hungry and chewed tree bark and defended the city for many days, he had seen a lot.
"What I want is to annihilate them as soon as possible."
"In my opinion, they can only hold out for another three days at most." The car said: "Should we withdraw the warriors first? As long as we continue to block the road to the west, the Song army will starve to death."
The Mongolian people's usual fighting style is to constantly harass and pull, and wait until the enemy collapses before charging. Therefore, a few hundred cavalry can often defeat an army of ten thousand with very few casualties.
But this time Niulin completely ignored the casualties and ordered very forcefully: "Continue to attack the mountain with all our strength."
I couldn't feel the pressure of Niulin in the car, and secretly complained that such an upward attack was too strenuous.
I hope the Song Army can collapse soon.
Although Niulin was anxious, he was relieved to see that his chance of victory had appeared.
From a distance, another sentry horse ran over.
Nulin turned her head and squinted, worried that Brother Meng had sent someone to ask about the situation of the war again, such as "When will you bring your baggage to Chongqing?"
The baggage is still in Divine Arm City. After annihilating the Song army in Laojun Mountain, they will attack Exiute in Divine Arm City again!
Fortunately, those sentry horses were not here to rush him.
"Report! Marshal Du, Zizhou"
"Is Zizhou lost again?" Niulin asked.
This time, the sentinel on the horse was stunned for a moment and responded: "Yes, we only have a few sentry horses and cannot stop these Song troops."
"When did you lose it?"
"It's not very clear. When we visited Zizhou, we didn't see the flag of the Song Army. When we got closer, we were shot by the Song Army's arrows. The Song Army had been hiding nearby for a few days."
The Yunding garrison would come. This was expected by Niulin. He thought of it when he withdrew the soldiers and horses guarding the Tuojiang River.
At most, two thousand people can come, but they can't change the situation of the war.
Niulin looked at Laojun Mountain again, pondered, and said to himself: "You are guarding Laojun Mountain, just waiting for these two thousand people? Then I will definitely win."
The Mongolian army's attack went very smoothly that day.
The Song army's wood and rocks were not enough to pose a sufficient threat, and the Mongolian army gradually attacked the mountainside.
Niulin was already thinking about how to avenge Yesuda'er after the Song army was annihilated.
Divide Li Xia's body into five pieces, like when Zhang Shi died?
No, it should still be left to the Great Khan. Even if the five horses are quartered, the Great Khan should give the order.
"Kill!"
Wang Datou roared angrily, raised the spear in his hand angrily, and stabbed a Mongolian Han soldier in front of him to the hillside.
Just as he was about to take back the spear, he found that the tip of the spear was tightly held by another Mongolian soldier.
The spear shaft was stained with blood and was very slippery. It was being pulled away from his hand bit by bit, and the Mongolian soldier also used his strength to rush forward.
Wang Datou turned around and took a look, only to see that Er Zhuang, who was standing next to him just now, had been hit by an arrow in the face and fell there silently.
He couldn't help being furious, let go of the spear in his hand, picked up the rocks on the ground and threw them at them with all his strength.
A scimitar was about to strike in front of him, but the Meng soldier holding the sword was knocked down by a stone and rolled down screaming.
Wang Datou had no time to breathe, and suddenly a huge pain came from his body, and his whole body was knocked away.
There were several Mongolian soldiers rushing up carrying a long battering ram.
Wang Datou was injured and fell to the ground. He felt that his internal organs were about to be knocked out and it was difficult to get up.
In the distance, he heard the sound of drums coming from the top of the mountain.
"Keep it!"
That was Liu Jinsuo's voice.
This big guy has a very loud voice, and he has gotten along quite well with Wang Datou these days because he is very enthusiastic.
In the past few days, Changning's army and Qingfu's army were exhausted and scarred while guarding the mountain. Liu Jinsuo was also hit by many arrows. If it weren't for the thick leather armor on his body and the fact that he was standing at a high place, he might have died.
"Big Tou, when you are guarding the mountain, if arrows are shot from below, you have to protect your crotch." This is what Liu Jinsuo said when changing defense.
Even though he was hurt, he still confessed sincerely.
Wang Datou thought of many things in an instant
Is the Luzhou Army weaker than the Qingfu Army?
Dutong is already dead, or did he die so tragically? Do you and the others want to embarrass him?
General Yi, Li Zhixian eliminated those military leaders and promoted himself, do you want to embarrass them?
"ah!"
Wang Datou roared angrily and tried hard to hold himself up. Where he looked, the Mongolian army had broken through his defense line.
Fatigue, hunger, and injuries made it difficult for the Song army to hold this position.
"Make it up!"
Loud shouts were heard, and Li Xia was seen leading the Qingfu army to fight down from the mountain and collided with the Mongolian army.
Wang Datou had already stood up, took a spear, looked at Li Xia's back, staggered, and followed him in large strides.
At this point in the battle, he felt that he could no longer hold on.
I tried my best to support him, but I just wanted not to be embarrassed.
He thought about what Li Xia said, "Let's have a celebration banquet when we get to Xuzhou", and secretly thought that it seemed that it couldn't be realized.
Niulin stared at the top of the mountain, looking forward to defeating the Song army today.
The sentry rider just now turned back again.
"Marshal Du, something is very strange. I saw that the water in the Yangtze River in the south has risen, but the water in the Tuojiang River has dropped."
"The water potential of the Tuojiang River will not drop," Niulin said.
Not only did he have more strategies than other generals, he was also familiar with the geographical advantages.
In order to train his navy to travel along the Yangtze River, he had a thorough understanding of the river currents in Shu.
He is among the first batch of Mongolian generals to build a navy.
He is also one of the few meng who is good at learning.
"Even though it has stopped raining, the Tuojiang River has sufficient water, which is larger than the Orkhon River on our grassland. It has five sources and many tributaries that feed into it."
"But the sentry knight said that the water level of the Tuojiang River has dropped a lot."
"This is not"
Nulin's face suddenly froze.
"Ming Jin retreats his troops! Hurry! Destroy the Yunding Song Army first."
In the distance, there was a faint, thunder-like sound.
It was like something huge was colliding with it.
Niulin turned around and looked to the northeast, only to feel that the world was still so peaceful, and the muffled thunder was far away.
Gradually, I don't know how long it took, his eyes narrowed and became narrower.
Finally, he saw a white line appearing at the junction of heaven and earth.
"water?"
It is indeed water, sweeping towards this side at an extremely fast speed, with a terrifying momentum that swallows everything. It is like a giant dragon waking up from its slumber, baring its fangs and claws.
"Changshengtian." Nulin murmured.
The Mongolian cavalry's momentum of moving vertically and horizontally was vulnerable to the flood.
The commander in charge of thousands of armies looked at the torrent, and all his bravery and heroic spirit were of no use. No matter what he wanted to say, he still said the same three words.
"Eternal Life"
"boom!"
The flood has hit Longding Mountain in the northwest direction.
Like a beast hitting a cage, it roared angrily, turned around and ran south.
Its target is the Yangtze River.
And everything that stands in its way will be torn into pieces and swallowed up.
"Bah! Bah!"
Before the turbulent waves arrived, the Mongolian army's horses began to fear, and kept digging at the ground, trying hard to throw off the people on their backs.
No matter how good his riding skills were, the Meng soldiers could not control their horses and were thrown off their horses.
The horseshoes stepped heavily on the panicked soldiers.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The wave was getting higher and higher, and Nulin could already see the undulating trees on the peak of the wave.
He watched as the tree hit the sentry tower behind his camp, smashing it into pieces.
"run!"
With the exclamation, everyone in the entire Laojun Mountain was shouting, shouting the same word in different languages.
"run!"
"run!"
On the battlefield, the sound of weapons piercing flesh could be heard from time to time.
Where Wang Datou looked, he could only see the black armor of the Mongolian army.
Gradually, he suddenly discovered that the black in front of him seemed to be fading downwards, and was squeezed into a ball by the black torrent rushing from below.
He glanced around blankly and suddenly froze.
At the bottom of the mountain, there is a flood.
The war drums beat louder, and Yi Shiying's battle flag waved, conveying the simplest order.
"Kill the enemy!"
Wang Datou only heard the sound of "kill the enemy", and then saw the flood rushing towards the Mongolian camp fiercely.
