Chapter 422 Ambush
If you look at the map carefully, you can see that the location of each mountain city in central Sichuan is very particular.

Jiuding City is located on Minjiang River; Yunding City is located on Tuojiang River; Lingxiao City is located on Fujiang River; Dahuo and Qingju City are located on Jialing River; Dehan City is located on Qujiang River; Diaoyu City is the confluence of three rivers...

These mountain cities are not only steep in terrain, but more importantly, their geographical location strangles the main water and land routes and builds the entire defense system of the Song Dynasty in Sichuan and Shu.

It's a pity that after Yu Jie's death, although the mountain city is still standing, it can no longer play its role.

Often the Song army was self-sufficient on the mountain city, and the Mongolian army swaggered around the mountain city.This time Niu Lin Nanlue was like this. He couldn't attack Yunding City, but he could send troops to besiege the Song army in the city and take the two states of Jian and Zi.

Li Xia's way of breaking the game is very simple, restarting Yu Jie's "dots and lines" defensive strategy, revitalizing the defenders of Yunding City, and destroying New Lin's plan from the most upstream.

Li Xia knew that some historical processes had been changed, including that Yunding City did not fall because of Yao Shian's rebellion, and Pu Zezhi did not suffer heavy losses in the First World War in Chengdu.

This is his chance.

He quietly led his troops to the north, and ordered people to climb up the Jintang Gorge to contact the guards Kong Xian and Yi Qing.After that, he decisively attacked the Mongolian Army's Mili Huo Zhe Department that besieged Yunding.

~~
Milihuo Zheben complained that New Lin refused to take him south, leaving him without a fight.

In his opinion, besieging Yunding City is a very simple matter. He only needs to station at the foot of the mountain to see if the Song army dares to come down the mountain?
Therefore, he divided 2000 troops, 3000 were stationed in Chengdu, and [-] besieged Yunding.

Unexpectedly, a sneak attack caught him off guard, and he fled for dozens of miles overnight, and found that nearly a thousand people had been lost.

Milihuo quickly calmed down, inquired about the news, and learned that the Song army had quickly taken Jane and Zizhou.

He rushed to report to Niu Lin, and at the same time raised his troops to pursue him.

The reason why he lost a game was because he was attacked by the Song army.This time it was a frontal battle on land, and he was confident that he could defeat the Song army in turn.

……

On March [-]th, the spring rain continued, and the water potential of the Tuojiang River began to rise.

The mili fire fighters are marching in the rain.

This is a helpless thing, if the Song army is allowed to attack Marshal Du's luggage, all the blame will be placed on his head.

Walking along the river, we gradually arrived at the goose neck at the junction of Jianzhou and Zizhou.

Looking around, you can see Yandun Mountain, and you have to march another [-] miles to see the city of Zizhou when you go around Yandun Mountain.

According to the habit of the Mongolian army, sentry horses must be cast out along the way to wait and see the terrain.

The same is true for Milihuo, who raised his hand to stop the team, and shouted: "The sentry horse will go up to the top of the mountain to watch first, and the others will hide in the woods to rest!"

He looked through the rain curtain and spat angrily.

Of course I was anxious, but the closer I got to Zizhou, the easier it was to be ambushed by the Song army again, so I had to be cautious when marching.

After getting off his horse and entering the woods, Milihuo cursed and found a big tree to sit down, twisted his wet boots, and cursed the bad weather, forgetting that the thing he was most in awe of was Changshengtian.

"Hurry up, is the sentry horse back?!"

~~
"Here we come, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Pi Feng murmured inwardly.

He was lying in the mud, looking through the grass in front of him, he saw the two thousand Mongolian soldiers resting in the woods.

On the blade of grass, a caterpillar is hiding from the rain on the back of the blade of grass.

It thought that someone was coming, and shrank back in fright, but as time passed, it gradually could not feel the temperature and movement of people, so it bravely crawled out and took a bite on the edge of the leaf.

Pifeng actually saw the bug, but he didn't move, letting the rain drip on his body, his body became more and more cold.

He is the guard of Yunding City. He once followed Li Xia to win the siege battle of Chengdu City, and now he has been promoted to team leader.

During the New Year's Eve, Kong Xian and Yi Qingyi promised to invite the opera troupe to sing in the mountain city. Pi Feng was very happy, but unfortunately the war started before the end of the New Year.

Pifeng was very annoyed by this, he was besieged on the mountain city, day after day it seemed that he was going back to the days of hard defense of the city, fearing that he might not see a turning point.

But this year's turning point came very quickly. It was only one month after the siege of the city. When he was guarding Jintang Cliff, he encountered the Qingfu Army climbing up.

"Lizhi County has brought troops to break the army..."

With this news alone, Pi Feng felt confident. Afterwards, Li Xia patted him on the shoulder after breaking the siege of Yunding.

"Long time no see, by the way, please have a wedding candy."

The wedding candy tasted sweet, and Li Xia also said a lot to the Genting soldiers.

"I am here under the order of Zhu's appeasement envoy." Li Xia did not take out the general order, and continued to talk, "We want to defeat the Mongolian army in western Sichuan and regain Chengdu again. If there is a reunion with a daughter-in-law, I will tell you a daughter-in-law if you don't have a wife." .Here is our home, we cannot stay on the mountain forever..."

With simple words, Yi Qing led 2000 people down the mountain with Li Xia without hesitation.

Because they knew that if they fought with Li Xia, they would win.

Pi Feng's body was gradually freezing in the rain, but his heart was getting hotter.

Winning battles, talking about daughter-in-law...

Seeing the Mongolian army dismounting and resting in the woods, he felt that the victory was getting closer.

Finally, with a whistle, Pifeng jumped up, holding his spear and roaring.

"Kill!"

~~
"Kill!"

Mili Huozhe suddenly heard the killing cry, his body trembled, and the boots in his hand fell to the ground.

In his opinion, the Song army must be going down the Tuojiang River to surprise Niu Lin, so he never expected that the Song army had already ambushed in this forest early.

Even the position where he sent the sentry Ma Deng to look out was calculated.

This is a long-planned ambush.

"E Xiute, do you have a grudge against me?! Why do you always sneak up on me?!"

With a thought in his mind, Mili Huo Zhe didn't care to put on his boots, got up and shouted: "Quick! Get on the horse! Get on the horse! Let's fight..."

He quickly ran towards the horse, stepping on a sharp stone with his bare feet, and the soles of his feet were bleeding profusely.

"E Xiu Te!"

The voices of "E Xiu Te" among the Mongolian army kept coming and going...

This place is called "Goose Neck" because the terrain is long and narrow, with the Tuojiang River to the east and a mountain ridge to the west.

Song Jun didn't know how long he had been lying in ambush in the mountain ridge. Once he killed them, he first blocked the Mongolian army's way to both sides of the official road, forcing the Mongolian army to not ride their horses to charge, but to fight.

They were all wet, with leaves still on their bodies, but straw sandals were still tied under their feet.

In this rainy weather, the horse's hooves would also slip, but Song Jun's grass shoes ran the most steadily, and they had already reached the front in an instant...

It wasn't until this time that the sentry horses who went to investigate on Yandun Mountain raised their banners to signal that there was an enemy ambush ahead.

However, the sound of horseshoes has already sounded.

Four hundred cavalrymen circled Yandun Mountain, stabbing the Mongolian army in a state of panic like a sharp knife...

~~
A total of 600 people accompanied Li Xia to the north this time, and Song He and Yang Ben led [-] cavalry.

Cavalry is an extremely difficult branch to train. These 400 men have been in the army for less than a year, and their riding skills are very average, and their horses are not very good.But today it still showed the same momentum as the Mongolian cavalry.

Another two hundred infantry were led by Yu Tian.

Li Xia chose to bring Yu Tian with him because he was from the Jiading Army and was familiar with the terrain in western Sichuan.

The three hundred generals led a total of 600 people, and another 600 people were the Changning Army led by Zhu Cheng.

When Li Xia went to Lingxiao City and proposed to Yi Shiying to "joint training" with the Changning Army, he was thinking about recruiting this army, and Zhu Cheng was the first person he wanted to subdue.

As early as the fourth year of Xingchang, when Li Xia presented grain and grass to Zhu Cheng, he had already had this in mind.This time, he wants Zhu Cheng and the Qing Fu Army to win together.

It's as if the Yunding defenders are not under his command in name, but they are willing to be dispatched by him.

In addition, Li Xia did not take Liu Jinsuo with him again, because Liu Jinsuo was loyal enough, so he was sent to Lingxiao City to train with the Changning Army and obey Yi Shiying's command... there must be a chance to participate in the war.

Because Newell's army has not suffered too much loss.

For Li Xia, the two sneak attacks on Milihuo were just a small test, and the real horror was the 5000 people in New Lin...

~~
Three days later, the rain gradually eased.

Yandun Mountain still stands in the midst of misty rain, and a column of Lemon troops turned around the mountain ridge from the south and rushed to the Gooseneck battlefield.

"Quickly, report to the Marshal..."

After a while, New Lin rode his horse and reined in front of a big tree, looking at the naked headless corpse tied to the tree.

The legs and feet of the corpse had been maimed by wild dogs, but Newell recognized that it was the Milihuo.

Niu Lin was furious, the tendons on his forehead twitched, but he still managed to calm down and said, "Leave out the sentry horses and find this Song army for me."

The light rain was still falling, and the blood slowly flowed down from the tree trunk. Some soldiers stepped forward to gather the fire fighters, the neighing of the horses spread, and the Mongolian riders rushed out in all directions, looking for the whereabouts of the Song army...
