As the battle progressed, Shi Shu drove his horse forward and finally saw the battlefield at the mouth of the gorge.
"The Song army also set up an ambush hastily." He made a judgment.
There were far fewer porcelain fireballs falling from the cliff, because it was difficult for the Song army to carry a large number of weapons up the mountain temporarily.
There are no iron ropes crossing the river, and there are no ships.
These are all favorable conditions
In addition, Shi Shawu did not let him down, and had already gained more than ten steps.
Although this distance is short, it allows the Mongolian army to line up to fight the Song army.
Of course, the roads on the Mongolian army's side were narrow and far more disadvantageous than the Song army's.
But it doesn't matter, the key to this battle is actually Shi Shaxian, who was sent by Shi Shu to climb up the cliff from behind, and the two hundred most elite warriors.
As long as Shi Shaxian can occupy the commanding heights in time and attack the Song army from behind, he will win.
Here, just hold on to the stalemate and remain undefeated.
There was a ferocious look in Shi Shu's eyes, full of confidence.
Li Xia's eyes were calm and he scanned the battlefield carefully.
The fighting at the riverside and at the mouth of the gorge has reached its most intense stage.
When he saw that Shi Shu's banner was still moving forward, Li Xia was a little surprised.
Not all generals can still face difficulties like this after encountering an ambush. For example, when they ambush the Milihuo people in Zizhou, the Mongolian army panicked and was quickly defeated.
After thinking for a moment, Li Xia raised his head and looked at the cliff, guessing that Shi Shu must send someone to take a detour, otherwise it would be impossible to advance instead of retreating.
It seems that the Mongolian Han army is more suitable for the terrain of Sichuan and Shu than the Mongolian army.
As soon as he thought about this, Li Xia shouted without hesitation: "Follow me to reinforce and wish success!"
He took the lead and rushed over.
The battle between Zhu Chengzheng and Shi Shawu reached its peak.
As generals, the two men fight mainly to establish their authority and boost morale. But whenever there is danger, the personal guards behind them will immediately come to protect them.
Therefore, although Shi Shawu had a slight upper hand, he was still unable to kill Zhu Cheng.
"clang!"
The hammer and the broadsword intersect, and the stars are rising.
Suddenly, Shi Shawu noticed that there was some confusion among the Song soldiers behind Zhu Cheng. He was about to drive his horse forward to seize this opportunity.
The next moment, a group of elite Song troops came up to make up the place.
"Kill!"
The spear thrust fiercely and drove back several Mongolian soldiers.
Shi Shawu was shocked. Just looking at the formation, he knew that the leader of the Song Army must have committed suicide himself.
The other party is too impatient. How long will the fight last?
Before he could think about it, a strong figure rushed in front of his horse.
There was a flash of cold light, and a long sword struck at a tricky angle, piercing Shi Shawu's thigh with a "pop".
"ah!"
Shi Shawu roared angrily and showed determination.
Zhu Cheng slashed with his broadsword and cut off his neck with one stroke!
"Wonderful victory! Wonderful victory!"
The morale of the Song army was boosted.
On the gorge road, Shi Shu suddenly raised his eyes and became furious.
He had actually seen the Song army mobilize again just now.
The general of the Song Army who was guarding the mouth of the gorge suddenly led the most elite team to make up the defense.
Shi Shu also believed that the opponent took action too early, before the critical moment.
But unexpectedly, Shi Shawu was killed in just one round.
Seeing that the Song army had blocked the enemy again, Shi Shu clamped his horse's belly and immediately went forward to kill himself.
"Breakout!"
"Bang!"
The low morale of the Mongolian army was once again boosted.
However, Li Xia over there had already pulled Zhu Cheng away.
He ordered his shield hand to take over and block Shi Shu's sharp energy first.
Zhu Cheng gasped for air and was frightened to see Shi Shu being so brave.
Only then did he look at the approaching Mongolian flag and murmured: "Shi Shu? No wonder he succeeded in the sneak attack on Kuzhu Pass. He is indeed a fierce general in the world."
"You take command." Li Xia didn't even look at Shi Shu and spoke quickly: "He must have divided his troops to climb the mountain. He went into battle personally to contain us."
"The dog Tartar climbs the mountain to attack again"
"It doesn't matter, you just need to contain him."
After Li Xia finished speaking, he ordered two Changning military generals and ordered: "Follow me!"
As early as the end of the year and the beginning of the year, he had the Changning Army and the Qingfu Army train together in order to make the command easier. At this time, the battle situation was such that two hundred people climbed up the cliff without hesitation.
"Let's go up the mountain as fast as possible."
"Don't worry, Li Zhizhou, who are we? The defenders on Lingxiao Mountain!"
The fighting continues.
The riverside was covered with blood. The Song army finally dragged a warship to the riverside, boarded the ship and fought hand-to-hand, and tried to drag other ships over with hooks and ropes.
Shan Yunde was shocked and quickly ordered the warship to go to the center of the river.
But in this way, the Mongolian navy's support for Shi Shu was greatly reduced.
The war gradually turned from fierce at first to a stalemate.
The sun's shadow moves westward little by little.
Shi Shaxian finally climbed up the cliff with more than two hundred people, waved the flag, and informed Shi Shu.
Soon, the Mongolian army under the cliff saw this flag.
"General, look!"
Shi Shu boosted his morale and retreated to the rear. He looked up and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's done."
He yelled: "Instruct the whole army, we have occupied the cliff, and we will win this battle!"
"Must win!"
The morale of the Mongolian army was greatly boosted and they cheered endlessly.
The Song army was a little panicked because of this.
Seeing this situation, Shi Shu became more confident.
This will be another victory for the brave.
He was not intimidated by the steep cliffs of Kuzhu Pass, so how could he be afraid of the Song soldiers' ill-prepared ambush?
Since the founding of Mongolia, the first fierce general to be given wine by Ke Dun himself, who can stop him?
Sitting astride the horse, Shi Shu straightened his body and prepared to rush over while the Song army was in chaos.
Sure enough, after a while, the Song army on the canyon stopped throwing fireballs and arrows.
"We've arrived. Let the whole army know that we have occupied the cliff."
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a head fell not far in front of Shi Shu.
Soon, more and more heads were smashed down.
"Bang! Bang"
Shi Shu squinted his eyes and saw to his surprise that it was the person Shi Shaxian had brought.
He was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and saw only the shadowy figures of the Song army above the canyon digging into the boulders on the top of the mountain.
It's impossible to make it in time.
But Shi Shaxian has been defeated and is most likely dead. No one can stop the Song army.
The Mongolian army will panic. If someone is trying to smash rocks on their heads, no matter how long it takes, they will panic.
There was chaos again.
Shi Shu knew that this battle could not continue.
Unwilling to give in, he gritted his teeth and looked at the Jialing River, where he could retreat but the warships could not retreat against the current.
"Ming Jin, withdraw! Anyone who dares to disrupt the line will be killed!"
Shi Shu was so decisive that he turned his horse's head and retreated immediately.
With the sound of gold ringing, the Mongolian soldiers turned around one after another, not daring to fight anymore.
However, not far to the north, where Shi Shaxian climbed up the rock, the Song army followed the rope ladder and killed them.
"Polu!"
At first, a young general from the Song Army held a knife between his teeth, let go of the rope ladder and jumped down, knocking down a Mongolian soldier who turned around in a panic. He quickly got up and started slashing with his knife.
"Jiang Jinshi! Damn you"
Someone yelled on the top of the mountain, but before he finished speaking, the Mongolian army rushed up and hacked at them with scimitars.
Jiang Jinshi, the general of Wu Xin's army, killed three people and was chopped down to the ground with his eyes wide open.
Before the Mongolian army could take a breath, they heard a loud "bang!" and several more Song soldiers fell to the ground.
"Polu!"
Now that one of the generals was brave, the Song soldiers behind them got angry and roared like fierce tigers. They forcibly divided the Mongolian army that formed the long snake formation into two sections.
On the cliff, Nie Zhongyou stared wide-eyed, still unable to believe that Jiang Jinshi, the general who had followed him all the way south, disappeared so easily.
Turning around again, I saw Li Xia grabbing the rope ladder and climbing down.
"Feiyu, wait"
Nie Zhongyou quickly followed and shouted: "This road is too dangerous."
"There is no danger in the five-foot road."
Nie Zhongyou came from the north and climbed two valleys. When he arrived at this mountain forest, he saw Li Xia fighting with Shi Shaxian.
He immediately led his troops to attack Shi Shaxian's rear.
Shi Shaxian was also fierce, but he didn't expect that there were soldiers and horses behind him. He was trapped in a tight siege and was defeated quickly.
Li Xia was also surprised and had no time to reminisce about the past, so he immediately ordered to block Shi Shu's return.
Looking at the entire Sichuan-Sichuan war, if Meng Ge had not died, the significance of annihilating hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops would no longer be of great significance. Because with Meng Ge's fighting style, he would not give up attacking the Song Dynasty until all the Han people in the north were killed.
Therefore, Li Xia's battle was only to intimidate Shi Tianze.
But now that he has a fighting chance, he must leave one Shi Shu behind no matter what.
"General! There are Song troops ahead who have cut off the road!"
"Impossible, kill me!"
"The Song army has a large number of people, probably close to a thousand people."
Shi Shu was furious and refused to believe it.
If the Song army could calmly arrange thousands of men on the canyon, this battle should not be fought like this at all.
He firmly believes in his own judgment.
In fact, whether he believed it or not, he had no choice but to kill him.
Behind, Zhu Cheng has led his troops in pursuit.
Shi Shu had a cold face, kept pushing aside the soldiers, and drove his horse forward.
"ah!"
On the canyon towpath, the Mongolian army that was attacked by the Song army was completely in chaos.
Retreating would easily lead to a rout, let alone being trapped on a narrow road.
When more and more Song troops climbed down and formed an array, the panicked Mongolian troops could only push and push them at a loss.
Horses neighed and the sound of falling water was endless.
The battle has been decided.
"Those who surrender will not be killed!" Gradually, the Song army began to shout.
Li Xia looked at the Mongolian banner with the big inscription "Pioneer in conquering Shu and conquering Shi Shu from ten thousand households", still hoping to capture Shi Shu alive.
However, as the flag got closer and closer, Shi Shu's fighting spirit became stronger and stronger.
He slashed and killed the Mongolian soldiers who wanted to flee, and finally reached the Song army.
"Lu Wenhuan or Fan Wenhu?! Come and fight Grandpa!"
Li Xia did not answer, but shouted: "Spearman! Stab!"
"Bah! Bah!"
The horses screamed, and the two sides launched a final battle.
On the Jialing River.
Shan Yunde looked north, with a sad look in his eyes.
In this battle, as a general who had recently surrendered to Mongolia, he fought well and used dozens of warships to contain the Song army's 5,000-strong force.
In addition, two ships were hooked by the Song army, and Shan Yunde did order to retreat a little.
He thought that Meng Ren was fierce and would win, but he didn't expect that he would be defeated.
Shi Shu could retreat, but he could not escape across the river.
No matter how much he wanted to surrender, he couldn't. Shan Yunde hesitated for a while and shouted: "Quick! Move to the other side!"
It was too late. Wang Yixin was a ruthless man and had already driven the stolen warship into Shan Yunde's ship.
"Bang!"
The two ships collided, and the Song army quickly pounced on them and continued to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Shan Yunde was furious and quickly ordered to fight
The next moment, only the Song troops on the shore were cheering.
"Victory! Victory over the Mongolian Tatar pioneer Shi Shu is dead!"
Shan Yunde stood on the rickety deck, still in disbelief.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Kill the traitors and return to the Song Dynasty!"
With one slash, Shan Yunde screamed in agony, and a head fell on the deck.
Another head was hung on the flagpole and slowly raised.
Before Shi Shu died, he looked like a leopard with wide eyes and a fierce look.
He is extremely brave and can fight very well.
But death is death.
Li Xia wanted to capture him alive, but unfortunately Jiang Jinshi died in the battle. Wu Xin's army under his command was grieving and angry. In addition, Shi Shu refused to surrender and was still killing all sides. Li Xia was unwilling to stop these soldiers.
It can only be said that a glass of wine from Mongolia Ketun allowed Shi Shuli to fight to the end and die in battle.
