"How many people are there in the Mongolian army?"
"have no idea."
"Grandpa, General Lou really doesn't know, because the terrain below Languan City is not wide, and the Mongolian army drove the people to attack the city. We don't know how many people there are in the main force."
Wu Qian nodded slowly.
At his age, he was already exhausted from transporting supplies and relocating people for the war for two consecutive months. He could hardly climb the Blue Pass today.
But standing at the top of the city, he still regained his healthy appearance. He stared at the Mongolian camp in the distance for a long time and asked again: "Is Shangzhou destroyed?"
"I don't know." Rouhu replied.
Wu Ze added: "General Lou is saying that the last news from Shangzhou was that Wuguan was broken and Shangzhou was in emergency. After that, the Mongolian army had blocked the city of Languan. We don't know the situation in Shangzhou yet."
"I didn't say it, it was Mr. Dai who said it."
Wu Qian glanced at Huhu, then glanced at Wu Ze, seemed to sigh, and said: "Shangzhou should still be there."
"How did Grandfather know?"
"Counting the Mongolian military camps, the current main force is about three to five thousand people. This force cannot take Wuguan, so there must be other forces, and they are probably attacking Shangzhou."
Luhu couldn't help but admire him and praised: "Xianggong Wu is even more powerful than Mr. Dai."
Wu Ze was shocked and said: "In other words, more than 10,000 Mongolian troops will come and kill them in the future?"
Wu Qian ignored these and asked: "How many people are there in Languan?"
"Two hundred elite soldiers, one thousand strong people."
"Okay. I have brought two thousand people here... How much food, armor, arrows and other supplies are left in the city?"
"I don't know, Mr. Dai remembered it."
Wu Qian sighed again and said, "I'll take stock."
Huhu hasn’t washed his hair for a long time and can’t help but scratch it.
He felt that Xianggong Wu had personally come to serve as his adviser, but he didn't know anything about it. He could only shoot a centurion tomorrow to make Xianggong Wu happy.
…
Wu Qian was not happy.
He was born as a citizen of the Louhu Mountain. He could not even speak Chinese clearly before. He was the least resourceful among the generals who came from the Qingfu Army. However, he was good at fighting and had superb archery skills... He knew all these, so he came here this time.
Helping Huhu hold the line of defense.
This is the last line of defense in the south of Guanzhong, and there is no way to retreat.
~~
Lan Guan was able to organize a decent defense, which surprised even the instigators.
He conquered Dali with Kublai Khan. At that time, the Mongolian army could not attack Longshou Pass, so Kublai Khan ordered a small group of soldiers and horses to cross Cangshan Mountain. Nine out of ten of these people died on Cangshan Mountain, but the surviving warriors never
The top of the mountain rushed straight down. The kings and ministers of Dali thought they were gods and were so frightened that they abandoned the city and fled...
After that, Kublai Khan encountered almost no decent resistance in Dali.
In this attack, Chao Du used the same fighting method. He climbed over the steep Sidaoling Mountains and captured Wuguan.
I thought that after capturing Wuguan, I would be able to march straight into the pass and defeat it.
According to common sense, the cities should have surrendered.
But no, the Song army was much more tenacious than the Dali army.
Wuguan did not become Longshou Pass.
But it must be the Blue Pass. As long as you break through the Blue Pass, there will be a completely empty Guanzhong behind it.
It's like facing a woman and just spreading her legs.
Already feeling excited, he stared at Lan Guan with eyes as fierce as a wolf.
As for how to fight?
It is much simpler than fighting Wuguan. As we can see now, there are not many officers and soldiers in Languan at all, and there are not enough armor, weapons and food. After a few days, the morale of the people will be exhausted, and it can be broken directly.
The Song army at Languan has no chance of defeating the Mongolian army, so it will be defeated sooner or later.
In a war, when the soldiers of one side know that they will lose, they will have no intention to fight at all. What's more, most of the people at the top of Languan City are ordinary people.
Everyone thought that before Dong Wenwei could catch up from behind, he had already broken through Lan Pass...
~~
Shi Tongfu has not yet conquered Baiyang Pass, but he will soon.
Baiyang Pass has almost become an isolated city. The isolated city cannot be defended because there is no hope.
Without hope there is no morale.
In war, once morale collapses, no matter how many people there are, they will be completely defeated.
This was the case when Meng Ge conquered Shu. The mountain cities were so steep, but they had not yet become isolated cities. They just felt that the situation was over, so many people surrendered, allowing the Mongolian army to reach the Diaoyu City.
Shi Tongfu was also there during that battle. He first followed Dong Wenwei to attack Diaoyu City. After Dong Wenwei was seriously injured, he followed Dong Wenbing's eldest son Dong Shiyuan to attack Diaoyu City again.
It can be said that they were not brave, but in the end they still couldn't capture it, so the Song army was even braver.
I have never fought such a difficult battle in my life.
The most fearful thing in a war is meeting someone like Wang Jian who is not afraid of death.
A few years later, when he took over the siege of Baiyang Pass but failed repeatedly, Shi Tongfu suddenly thought of Diaoyu City again.
But Baiyangguan is not a fishing city at all. It can only hold out for a few more days at most, and it must be captured today.
"Send the order, the first to reach the city will be heavily rewarded! If we break the barrier today, we will not withdraw our troops!"
The trumpet sounded again.
First, Minzhuang carried a ladder to climb the city. Later, he saw that there were really no thunderbolts, arrows, wood and stones in Baiyang Pass... and even no gold juice, so the Mongolian soldiers began to climb the city.
"Making meritorious service!"
A Mongolian soldier climbed up the ladder and climbed to the top of the dilapidated Baiyang City.
"puff!"
The spear was thrust out and the Mongolian soldier was stabbed directly into Guancheng.
…
Before Liu Jinsuo could catch his breath, another Mongolian soldier jumped up.
He immediately thrust out the spear again.
There was no time to rest, and there was no other way to stop the Mongolian army. Baiyang Pass had nothing left except strength and a weapon.
But just before the city defense battle started today, Liu Jinsuo was still motivating his soldiers.
"There will be reinforcements."
He didn't want to deceive the soldiers or give them false hope. He really thought so.
"As long as we can hold on, when the generals on the Han River are sure that the Mongolian army will not let the Mongolian army sneak attack Hanzhong, they will have to send troops to rescue us. Also, Xiangyang is so close, Mr. Han has already sent someone to contact Lu Wenhuan..."
"General, I heard that Junzhou was lost. Reinforcements from Hanzhong are coming, so we have to fight Junzhou back, right?"
"Then just fight back. There's nothing difficult about it."
"But even if the Xiangyang garrison comes, they still have to pass through Dengzhou and Nanyang. Can Lu Wenhuan come?"
"Yes, the prince has already said that he and Lu Wende are as close as brothers."
When Liu Jinsuo said this, he smiled and said: "Also, let me tell you, after defeating the Mongolian army on other roads, they can also come to support us. Fight out from Shangzhou, take back Wuguan, and drive the Mongolian army back. But
After all, we have to be able to wait until then.
Let me tell you, uukanshu.com www.uukanshu.com After these years of fighting, I have learned one thing: as long as you grit your teeth and persevere in the most difficult times, damn it, the first ones to be discouraged will be the bastards on the opposite side.
!Don’t believe it, in Diaoyu City, even Brother Meng is the one who gets discouraged first.”
"General, have you also fought in the Battle of Diaoyu City?"
"I want to take you back to Hanzhong..."
Liu Jinsuo took the trouble to talk to the soldiers like this.
If this were not the case, maybe some people would choose to surrender, just like countless cities captured by the Mongolian army in the past.
In addition to his brute force, Liu Jinsuo only has this ability. He is not a wise general, but he has the heart of the army...
But on this day, he kept stabbing the Mongolian soldiers climbing up, gradually feeling extremely tired, and doubting whether he could wait for reinforcements.
"It's actually impossible to wait for reinforcements, right?" he thought to himself.
Just like Lu Wenhuan, how could he really come from Dengzhou and Nanyang?
What a blessing it would be if I could still get it right...
Just thinking of this, Liu Jinsuo, who had not yet exhausted his strength, looked up and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Look! I didn't lie to you! We can still hold on, reinforcements are coming, we can still hold on!"
Because he was so happy, it seemed as if he thought the reinforcements had arrived too early.
But Liu Jinsuo was already crying bitterly.
While crying, he pushed several Mongolian soldiers off the city with his long spear...
"We can still hold on!"
He was crying because Zan Wanshou didn't last until this time, and he was also crying that Lu Wende came too late.
But after fighting with tears for a long time, Liu Jinsuo looked up again and was surprised to find that the small reinforcements that came did not seem to be the Lu family army.
