Chapter 166 Rescue Soaring City from a Thousand Miles (Part 2)
Chapter 166: Thousands of Miles to Rescue Lingxiao City (Part 2)
When the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song Dynasty, their initial strategic plan was to go to Shu.
First defeat Shu, and then go down the river and destroy Da Ting with one breath.
However, from Kuoduan to Guyou, and then to Meng Ge.
Generations of great Khans failed to conquer Shu in eastern Sichuan, and even Meng Ge's all-out attack failed when he fell at the foot of Diaoyu City.
Until Kublai Khan won the battle for the throne and became emperor with the support of the Han people in the north. Seeing that he had not been able to conquer Shu for decades, he simply turned his head and attacked Xiangyang, the middle node.
After many years of fierce fighting, they finally cut off the Yangtze River defense line in the middle, and then moved down the river to attack Lin'an City.
And here in Shu, we are also at the most critical juncture.
The entire eastern Sichuan defense system was under the strong attack of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Chongqing Prefecture, Shaoqing, Nanping, Kui, Shi, Si, Bo and other prefectures all fell into the hands of the Mongolian army.
The castles built on the mountains everywhere, including Tianzi City, Diaoyu City, Divine Arm City, Yunding City, etc. were all destroyed.
The people of the Land of Abundance can only live on the top of the mountain.
Because if you live at the foot of the mountain, the Mongolian army will directly massacre you when they come.
By the time Li Yunze came over, Yunxiao City was the only one left that was still organized to resist the Mongolian army.
Lingxiao City is located in the mountains of Luzhou, with solitary peaks standing tall and majestic.
There is a plain on the top of the mountain, which can be used for farming. There is also an ancient well, which can solve the drinking water problem.
In order to pull out this last nail, Meng Yuan mobilized nearly 100,000 troops and horses, claiming that 300,000 were besieged and attacked fiercely.
When Li Yunze arrived a hundred miles away from Yunxiao City, some scattered Song troops took the initiative to tell him that the road ahead was difficult and hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops were besieging him, so it was better not to go.
He immediately became furious and said, "The enemy can go, and so can I!"
Immediately, regardless of the dissuasion, he led his soldiers and horses directly over the mountains and ridges towards Lingxiao City.
After learning about the surrender of Lin'an, the soldiers and civilians of Lingxiao City sternly rejected the Mongolian army's offer to surrender, expressing their belief that the emperor would surrender and his ministers would not surrender.
Even if he no longer serves Song Chen, he still has to fight to the end with the Mongolian army who has a bloody feud.
The name of the defender of Lingxiao City is Changning Army, and the defender is Huang Lingshen.
On this day, Huang Lingshen was on the mountaintop plain, carefully doing farm work in the fields.
There are tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians here, all relying on the harvests in the fields to survive, so they naturally need careful care.
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Huang Lingshen straightened up and wanted to drink some water.
"Bird bird bird~~~" At this time, the sergeant beside him was holding a kettle but looking up at the sky and shouting strangely, "The strange bird has laid eggs!"
Huang Lingshen looked up in confusion, and saw that a strange bird had really flown past in the sky, and it had even laid an egg that looked like it was hanging from an umbrella.
The dangling bird's egg finally fell down, and when it got lower, I realized that there really was an umbrella, but what was hanging there was not a bird's egg but an oilcloth wrapper.
The wind was not strong today, so this strange thing successfully landed on the top of the mountain.
Someone soon delivered the items.
"It's quite heavy." Huang Lingshen opened the oilcloth and saw a wooden box.
Opening the lid, there was a letter inside, with a heavy iron block underneath as a counterweight.
"Why did letters fall from the sky?" Everyone was puzzled. "Is it a letter from heaven?"
With a lot of doubts, Huang Lingshen opened the letter.
The content of the letter is very simple. First, it praises Lingxiao City's strong will to resist the Mongolian army and praises them as the backbone.
Then it was said that reinforcements had arrived and asked them to be ready to break the encirclement.
The last step is to sign the signature, which only has the name "Li Yunze".
"Who is this?"
Faced with Huang Lingshen's inquiry, everyone shook their heads.
"No matter what, he is a capable person." Huang Lingshen solemnly put away the letter, "Pay more attention to observation these days."
Although they were surprised by the strange thing like letters falling all over the world, the people in Yunxiao City did not think that anyone could really break the siege of the Mongolian army and rescue them.
Unless God comes down.
On this day, the Mongolian army launched an attack on Yunxiao City as usual.
More than a dozen Mongolian soldiers waved their weapons and drove hundreds of Han civilians to climb up the narrow mountain road.
The roads in Yunxiao City, which are thousands of meters above sea level, are extremely winding and dangerous, with steep cliffs. Many places can only accommodate one or two people climbing.
In this case, there is no point in attacking forcefully, it is just to die.
Therefore, the Mongolian army drove away the Han people every day and kept climbing to consume the rocks of the defenders.
Instead of consuming arrows, it simply consumes stones. In addition, it adds psychological pressure to the defenders.
In the eyes of the Mongolian army, this was the most natural thing.
Many of the new vassal troops who had recently surrendered were angry but dared not speak out about this.
But now that they have surrendered, they have lost their blood and dare not resist.
Some children walked slower, but the Mongolian soldiers who drove them away did not hesitate to kill them with their swords.
A woman rushed over crying, only to be greeted by a butcher's knife.
There were cries and screams, but most of the Han people climbed numbly, and the few who were still bloody fell to the sword.
The leading Mongolian army captain wiped his scimitar with a calm expression.
He has encountered this kind of thing too many times, and has already become a habit of killing people.
And there are so many Haner, they are as countless as weeds on the grassland.
Thinking of this, the captain gradually smiled.
There are mountains everywhere here, and I’m tired of looking at them. I really miss the vast grassland, which is full of mountains.
The nearby Mongolian army only saw their tenth commander smiling in memory, and then his face disappeared.
Not just the face, it should be said that the entire head was gone, completely transformed into a ball of red and white blood and exploded!
The spurting blood mist sprayed on the bodies of the surrounding Mongolian troops, really covering their heads and faces.
Everyone was dumbfounded, no one knew what happened.
It wasn't until a few breaths later that a dull 'bang' sound came from the valley.
Like a drum, it shakes the soul.
Before the Mongolian army could react, another Mongolian soldier's head suddenly disappeared and turned into an endless spray of blood mist.
After a few more breaths, the thunderous roar came again.
The Mongolian army finally came to their senses, and they rolled and crawled away toward the camp down the mountain.
‘Bang!’
A large ball of mud suddenly splashed around a Mongolian soldier who was running down the mountain. The splashed mud hit his body painfully.
On a large rock more than a thousand meters away, Li Yunze tilted his head and spat heavily.
It's fine when hitting a fixed target, but once it changes to a moving target, the accuracy immediately drops significantly.
Li Yunze, who was unhappy, simply turned his gun and pointed it at the Mongolian army camp at the foot of the mountain.
There are many Mongolian soldiers here who don't know what is going on and are in a daze.
"One, two, three."
No matter whether it is the new auxiliary army or the Tanma Red Army, whether it is an auxiliary army or ten thousand households, under Barrett's gun, all living beings are still equal.
The Mongolian army, which had gone through countless battles, was experienced and could quickly roughly determine the location based on the sound.
Soon a large group of Mongolian army elites rushed towards the hillside.
The mountains are high and the slopes are trembling, and the forests are deep and dense.
When the Mongolian army climbed up with difficulty, they didn't even notice their feet.
Small boxes with the words "This is the enemy" are hidden on their only path.
Amidst the banging sounds one after another, there were shrill wails and screams.
This thing is facing the enemy, and its lethality comes from the dense steel balls.
If you are lucky enough, you will be hit directly through the head and body by a steel ball and leave without any worries.
If you are not lucky enough, it will be miserable.
Too many people had their legs smashed, and they were unable to die but could not be saved. The screams of being unable to be saved were really mind-numbing.
Before even getting close to where Li Yunze was, the Mongolian troops who tried to go up the mountain had their morale collapsed and fled back.
He Yuanli, feeling very happy, ran over and said, "General, are you going to pursue the victory?"
"Fuck you." Li Yunze packed up his things. "Wait until night, and I will summon skyfire meteors to bombard the Mongolian army camp, and then send out troops when they are in chaos."
"Skyfire Meteor?" He Yuanli also read books, and suddenly thought of an allusion: "The Battle of Kunyang?"
Li Yunze ignored him, stood up, put on heavy mine clearance protective clothing, and took the map to recover those facing the enemy that had not been activated by the Mongolian army.
This thing can still be used after many years. It doesn't matter if it stays in the mountains and hunts down wild animals, but if it kills people who go up the mountain, it will be a sin.
After finishing these tasks, he called on the sergeants for help and dragged the 107 Gods of War to the appropriate position.
The Mongolian army at the foot of the mountain was indeed in a certain chaos, but its scale was really huge. There were nearly 100,000 troops and the military camp alone stretched for more than ten miles.
At most, Li Yunze could cause some confusion among those on the edge, but it was far from enough to cause the Mongolian army to collapse.
Considering the size of the Mongolian army here and the mountainous environment, the role of infantry fighting vehicles is limited.
So Li Yunze prepared a big gift for them, more than 30 combined 107 Gods of War.
First use a rangefinder to measure the distance, and then carefully arrange the bombardment targets of each 107 Ares to ensure that every Mongolian army camp can receive at least one warm greeting.
This thing is really not as complicated as imagined, otherwise it would not be called one of the three great artifacts.
Li Yunze found someone to learn it for a few days, and he was basically able to use it proficiently.
It's just that I have to do all the fine work myself, which is a bit tiring.
After making these arrangements, the sky was gradually getting dark, so he greeted everyone to start eating. After eating, they would have the strength to fight.
At the main camp of the Mongolian army two hills away, Commander Boyan had already received a report from the outermost camp in the east.
"People die when they hear the sound?"
Faced with the report of the Red Army, Boyan took it very seriously.
But neither he nor the staff in the tent could understand what was going on.
After some deliberation, it was finally decided to wait until dawn tomorrow before sending a large group of troops to sweep the mountains.
After eating, Boyan always felt depressed and panicked, as if something bad was about to happen.
This is the intuition developed by veteran soldiers after years of fighting on the battlefield.
Because he was worried, Boyan didn't eat well during dinner. He just ate a leg of lamb and couldn't eat it after drinking a bottle of wine.
After staying in the tent for a while, the boredom in my heart became more and more serious.
Finally, he simply got up and left the tent, standing outside and looking at the bright moon in the sky.
"We must capture Yunxiao City as soon as possible." The figure of the Great Khan appeared in Boyan's mind. "What should we not live up to the Great Khan's trust?"
He stared blankly towards the east.
Under the bright moonlight, the mountaintop over there suddenly turned red, and countless fiery light spots with long tails roared towards his camp!
