Dong Wenwei had already persuaded Wei Ruoxu, who knew Shangzhou, to surrender.
Wei Ruoxu is Liu Heima's brother-in-law. In his early years, he went out to Shangzhou with Liu Heima to get to know the local area, so he was appointed here by Li Xia.
The garrison in the city has been deployed many times to support Wuguan. There are not many troops and there is no support from the front or rear. It is destined to be unable to defend it.
Dong Wenwei was very sincere in persuading him to surrender, saying that the Liu family and his son could not be forgiven for defecting to the enemy, but Wei Ruoxu was only implicated by the Liu family and still had a chance to turn around.
He also said that if he surrenders now, he can still save the people in the city. If he doesn't surrender, he will kill everyone who instigates them and then they will massacre the city.
Enough steps are given.
Whether Wei Ruoxu was acting out of public motives or selfish motives, it was natural for him to surrender.
This is the most common thing. The Mongol Empire generally attacked cities and plundered territory like this, slaughtering cities and intimidating other cities into surrendering.
After a month of hard fighting, the Mongolian army finally gained victory along the way.
Breaking Wuguan, surrendering Shangzhou, and attacking Languan, we are only a little bit short of being able to drive all the way to Guanzhong. We will win together and be invincible.
…
After entering the city and taking over the city defense, Dong Wenwei briefed Wei Ruoxu on the situation.
"It is true that Guanzhong defended the country for one month, but you can only win if you defend it. Otherwise, what's the difference between January and February? On the contrary, the longer you defend, the more suffering you will suffer for the common people."
It is said that Brother Dong is sincere in his treatment of others, and what he said was indeed inspired by his feelings.
Dong Wenwei did not expect that the generals under Li Xia could resist the Mongolian army for so long, which made him feel ashamed of the incompetence of the Mongolian army, but also admired these Song generals.
But the principle is still the same. It can be maintained for a while, but it cannot be maintained for a lifetime.
The Song Dynasty could only defend, but Li Xia was a little better, taking advantage of the civil unrest in Mongolia to counterattack and take advantage.
This made people feel threatened, but it was not enough to change the offensive and defensive momentum.
When the Great Mongolia came back, Song and Li Xia were always the ones who got beaten.
That's it...
"Fortunately, the war is about to end. Li Xia's defense line only needs to be breached all the way, and it will sink like a ship with a leak. Li Xia's destruction is just around the corner, and the southwest can be stabilized earlier.
…”
Suddenly, Dong Wenwei stopped talking.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared south.
A troop of more than a thousand soldiers and horses was rushing towards this side along the Dan River.
Looking at the flag, it was Shi Tongfu who finally arrived, much later than expected. He should have broken through Baiyang Pass earlier and rushed over.
Why didn't you send a message to Malaya in advance?
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Dong Wenwei quickly noticed something was wrong.
I don’t know why, but looking at the military lineup, it looks like the remnants of the defeated generals are fleeing in panic?
Because Li Xia had not pretended to be a defeated army to attack once or twice, Dong Wenwei did not immediately release Shi Tongfu's troops into the city, but only hoisted Shi Tongfu to the top of the city in a hanging basket.
In front of Wei Ruoxu, Shi Tongfu told the unexpected news.
"The general is incompetent! He failed to defend Wuguan..."
~~
It was night. Dong Shiqing, son of Dong Wenwei, galloped to the Mongolian camp at the foot of Languan City.
He conveyed bad news to the instigators, and also relayed Dong Wenwei's opinions on this battle.
"The key to defeating the Qin-Chu Lantian Battle was not in Lantian, but in Nanyang, because Nanyang was the place of the Four Battles, and the terrain has not changed since ancient times. The Song Army expected to use the same strategy to flank us, but they forgot that now
It is not the Warring States Period, the vast Mongolian Kingdom, nor is it the Chu Kingdom surrounded by other countries.
We are not afraid of being blocked on the Wuguan Road. The only thing we have to worry about is that the attack on Guanzhong has been delayed too much. The six-pronged army attacked a Song warlord and gathered outside Guanzhong without breaking through for a month. Only the general approached Languan.
It is one step away from Chang'an. So what if the reinforcements of the Song Army have arrived? It's too late, and it can no longer stop the general from rushing into the pass, quickly conquering the southwest for His Majesty, and achieving the first military exploit among 200,000 people. As for Wuguan behind him, my father
Come and stop..."
Although I didn't fully understand all the language, I could feel Dong Wenwei's faint worry and anxiety.
This battle clearly has an overwhelming advantage, but there hasn't been much progress so far. How can we not be anxious?
Now that we have finally reached Lan Pass, the Song army is blocking us behind us. Of course we cannot retreat, but we should break through the weak Lan Pass in front of us as soon as possible and win this battle as soon as possible.
~~
Languan still didn't know what was happening in the south, but he only knew that the Mongolian army's offensive was becoming more and more fierce.
Although the Mongolian army did not give up the method of consuming the Song army's thunderbolts, arrows, wood and rocks by driving mouths, they understood that only consumption could not exhaust the Song army, so they began to send elites to carry out city-climbing operations.
This is naturally a siege strategy that involves heavy casualties.
However, the Song army at the head of Languan City only had a few hundred elite soldiers, and the rest were local warriors and strong civilians.
Minzhuang could throw away wood and rocks and pour gold juice, but he easily panicked when the Mongolian army attacked the city. He was almost captured by the Mongolian army several times. Fortunately, Louhu personally led his men to drive the Mongolian army back.
The elite of the Song Army were consumed bit by bit...
This kind of defensive battle exhausted Wu Qian mentally and physically.
On the night of the 28th of the first lunar month, Wu Ze helped Wu Qian to sit down in the barracks, looking at his grandfather's haggard face with worry.
"Grandpa, my grandson is already familiar with the situation in Languan, and he can serve as General Lu's staff. The Mongolian army is not just attacking the key points all the way. Grandpa would be better off returning to Chang'an to take charge."
"I know you kid are worried about me, but there are no troops in Guanzhong. If Lan Pass is lost, how can it be safe to return to Chang'an? There is no way to retreat, there is no need to retreat."
"That's not what my grandson meant, but..."
"But you think I'm old and useless?"
Of course Wu Ze didn't mean this.
It's not that Wu Qian has other things to deal with. In fact, the management of the entire Guanzhong in peacetime is enough for him. During the war, he has to deal with not only the southern front, but also the logistical dispatch of the entire battlefield, as well as the entire
The strong walls of Guanzhong and the clear wilderness.
Even him coming to Languan has shown that the whole of Sichuan and Shaanxi has reached its limit.
At this time, Wu Qian didn't say anything. He smiled and patted Wu Ze, preventing his grandson from talking and talking to himself.
"That day, I told you that Xie An's credit was not enough, so what kind of credit is enough? We should regain the lost land and unite the four seas. Whether the recovery is a credit or a sin is beyond my ability to consider. Today I will only talk about how to do it."
"yes."
"The gap between us and Mongolia's national power needs a big victory to make up for it. One game or two is not enough. I'm not sure how many more wins are needed. I guess I won't see that day. All I can say is... we will start to reverse the country's power.
The first big victory was won by Wang Jian in Diaoyu City. This time, it is the second game. There is no terrain like Diaoyu City, and the Mongolian army invaded from several directions. We cannot lose all the way."
At this point, Wu Qian sighed: "It's difficult."
Of course it is difficult. If the battle at Diaoyu City was a miracle, it would take miracles again and again to turn the country around.
"The more difficult it is, the harder it is to vent your anger. There are no troops in Guanzhong to support me. Only me, an old man who can't lift my hands, comes to encourage the soldiers. We grit our teeth and hold on until the Mongols can't hold on anymore. That's victory.
.”
With such a high-status person in charge, the soldiers will not be tempted to surrender.
Having a high fighting spirit and being determined enough is probably the difference between Yang Dayuan and Wang Jian.
Wu Qian said this and lay down tiredly.
"Looking at the offensive in the past few days, I feel that the Mongolian captives are already anxious... Also, the bandits who are used to robbing and kidnapping have not seen the spoils for a month since the war started. How can they not be anxious?"
"Don't worry if they are anxious, you won't be able to attack them if they are anxious."
"According to the example of the Mongolian army's attack on Shu, many mountain cities were successfully attacked by them by climbing into dangerous places at night. You should not think that they only know how to ride horses and shoot arrows. Don't slack off."
"Yes, please have a good rest, grandpa. My grandson will go to patrol the city now."
…
Wu Ze was originally a handsome nobleman, but the war in just a few days made the skin on his face look rough.
He grew up very quickly and became more and more stable.
Some people are talented in whatever they do. Just like Wu Qian, he was able to win the top prize at a young age, which is better than many people who studied hard in a poor family.
The same is true for Wu Ze. He learned literature and martial arts, managed the army, and fought quickly.
He has now replaced Mr. Wei and temporarily serves as Luhu's staff officer.
Mr. Wei said he was a scholar, but in fact he had no fame, he was just literate and could settle accounts. Wu Ze was born in a scholar's family and felt that he could at least do no worse than Mr. Wei.
But that night, while sitting on the terrace chatting with Rouhu, Rouhu said that Wu Ze was not as good as Mr. Wei.
"Mr. Wei usually cheers up the soldiers, but Wu Langjun doesn't."
"How can I cheer up?"
Luhu thought for a moment, then called a soldier and said, "Shuan, tell me, what do you want Mr. Wu to say to you?"
"Mr. Wei said that we can win this battle. But when I asked him why we could win, the garrison collapsed."
"Then you want to know why we won?"
"No, I'm fighting with the general, but... Mr. Wei is gone, and I haven't had a heart-to-heart talk with you for two days..."
Wu Ze had never done any of this, and he did not dare to imitate his former staff officer in attacking soldiers. He only tried to explain to Shuan Wa why he could win.
After thinking about it, he realized that he was still talking about what Wu Qian had just said.
"We can hold it, but the Mongols cannot. We will defend as long as the Mongols fight. In the end, they will definitely withdraw first. They are still busy fighting for power and wealth, and they are already in a hurry."
"Then if our road is protected, what should we do if the other roads are broken?"
Wu Ze smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, our road is the most difficult..."
suddenly.
Luhu stood up suddenly, opened his bow, and shot an arrow at the cliff.
There was a muffled groan in the darkness where no one was visible, and someone rolled down the cliff.
"Enemy attack!"
The night at the end of the first lunar month was very dark, and it was difficult to distinguish human figures in the thin moonlight, but the bonfire on the observation deck illuminated the figures of Houhu and Wu Ze.
"Whoosh!"
Luhu jumped forward and knocked Wu Ze down. When he turned around, he saw a hook and rope hooked on the battlement in the darkness.
As the war started, a thought came to his mind.
"Xiangong Wu is right, Menglu is really anxious..."
