Chapter 431
There is a saying in the land of Bashan and Shushui that "Treat the water first, and the prosperity of the water will make the city safe."

Since Li Bing built Dujiangyan, the people of Shu have focused on water conservancy, built embankments to prevent floods, dug canals to irrigate fields, and thus became known as the land of abundance.

The same is true for the Tuojiang River.

It is different from the Minjiang River, which has a clear distinction between Wei and Wei. Its water network is intricate, and even Minjiang River flows in it.

The Tuojiang River also has Three Gorges, which are Jintang Gorge, Moon Gorge, and Shihui Gorge.

During the Chengping period of the Great Song Dynasty, there was a poem that said, "In May, the river flows through thousands of miles of beaches, and it is as fast as flying lightning splitting the mountains. , can arrive in one day...Of course, it is an exaggeration.

After leaving the Three Gorges of the Tuojiang River, the waterway has twists and turns.

The water potential is broken, which slows down the flow rate, and the river channel can store water, reducing flooding.

It also diverted to the southeast, forming the Luchuan delta.

At the mouth of the Yangtze River, the Tuojiang River is extremely wide, "surrounded by the two rivers, filled with vastness", just like the sea, and Luchuan people call this "Sea View".

There is a "Haiguan Tower" in Luzhou County, which was burned down during the wars in previous years.

In short, Li Xia and Kong Xian analyzed and believed that the water potential of the Tuojiang River was large enough to flood the Mongolian army.

But because the water potential is too large, it is not easy to release water in a short time.

So they chose two locations, one is Neijiang County under the rule of Zizhou, which is the place in Li Bai's poem "green mountains cross the north, white water surrounds the east city".

After the defenders of Yunding City and other Mongolian troops gave up the guard of the Tuojiang River, they used channels to divert the Fuxi River, built embankments, and diverted the water from the river to the Fuxi River.

The second location is in the lower reaches of Fushun, below Shihui Gorge. Taking advantage of the reduction of the river water, the Yunding garrison blew up the rocks with explosives, blocking the Tuojiang River's turn to the east.

Here, there is also a stream that flows into the Tuojiang River, named "Anxi".

When the upper reaches of the Fuxi River couldn't bear the water potential, the river rushed through the Shihui Gorge again, and was forced to break through the small Anxi channel. The stream backflowed and quickly rushed due south.

This low-lying area is where Nanxi County is located.

The reason why there is a county seat is because it can be used as a dock for the Yangtze River.

Why did Li Xia stay at Laojun Mountain?Why migrate people?

The reason is to wait for the river to hit.

……

Amidst the wailing, a part of the Mongolian army hadn't reacted yet, and was swept up by the river and quickly flowed towards the Yangtze River.

"boom!"

There was another loud noise, and the water of the Yangtze River came rushing in and merged with the water of the Tuojiang River.

The giant waves beat down the Mongolian pawns and horses on the flood peak, and followed the waves to the east, and then to the east.

This is the Yangtze River.

The Yangtze River that "returns a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day".

~~
Yi Shiying stared at the flood below the mountain with old eyes, and took a deep breath.

The Mongolian army that fell into his eyes, the Mongolian army that was not so powerful not long ago, is now floating on the river, like ants.

He knew very well that this flood would not last long.Borrowing the accumulated water potential in the Fuxi River, after a yellow dragon swept over, it was difficult for the Tuojiang River to continue pouring back into Anxi.

It only takes one day to wipe out the Mongolian army.

He solemnly ordered: "Everyone, kill the enemy and kill Meng Da down the mountain."

The drums of war grew louder.

The roar of the flood gradually subsided, but the killing cries of the Song army continued for a long time.

"Kill!"

Many Mongolian soldiers rushed to Laojun Mountain the moment they saw the flood.

The flood inspired them to go up the mountain more than Newell's command.

Congested, people neighing on their backs.

And Song Jun's butcher knife has already fallen.

Blood was spilled all over the place.

~~
Li Xia was originally charging at the front.

He personally led the Qingfu army forward, not to block the gap in the defense line.But because he was actually the first to see the flood.

When the Mongolian army was most afraid, they blocked the passage up the mountain, and even counterattacked back.

This moment of confrontation can seal the victory.

When the general situation was settled, Li Xia took the blood-stained long sword and retreated step by step to the rear to command.

If he confronted Ashu at Wuchidao, he was comparing blood and bravery; when he fought Ye Suda'er in the First Battle of Chengdu, he was comparing tactics.

This time against Newell, the comparison is strategy.

Niu Lin wanted to drag down the physical strength of the Song army, but he wanted to destroy the spirit of the Mongolian army.

In fact, only [-]% or [-]% of the Mongolian army was really taken by the flood?However, the ambition of the Mongolian army has been crushed.

Timing, location, and people are more important, but how many people are killed before the battle is just a trivial matter...

Li Xia summed up these in his heart, and his eyes swept across the battlefield.

The battle flag of the Mongolian army had fallen, and Niu Lin could not be found.

"Then, I need horses, armor and weapons, and prisoners." He whispered to himself, and walked towards Yi Shiying.

All the Song troops were in a state of excitement.

Only Li Xia was still very quiet, looking a little bored.

"We won." Yi Shiying stared at the battlefield, as if he couldn't get enough of it.

"Victory." Li Xia stood beside him, sheathed his sword, and said, "General Yi, please order the Mongolian army to abandon their weapons and surrender after confirming the situation of the battle."

Yi Shiying nodded and asked, "Why are you so sure that Niu Lin will be eager to attack Laojun Mountain and relax the defense of Tuojiang River?"

"At the end of last year, I asserted that Meng Ge will definitely conquer..."

~~
On the Eastern Sichuan battlefield, Meng Ge has marched to Dahuo City.

Meng Ge has decided to destroy the Song Dynasty this time, and there are many reasons for his personal conquest.

Batu, the family brother who most supported him as the Great Khan, is dead;
His half-brother, Xu Liewu, led the army to conquer the west and destroyed the western countries, and made great achievements in battle;

His half-brother, Kublai Khan, managed Monan and gained untold wealth and prestige;
His cousin, Haidu, has been gradually gathering followers over the years, and has become the leader of the kings of the Wokuotai clan...

Another problem is that Genghis Khan once forced the kings to swear that as long as Wo Kuotai has descendants, the Khan position must be passed on to Wo Kuotai's descendants.

Although Meng Ge is the son of Tuo Lei, he is also the adopted son of O Kuo Tai, so it is only natural that he gets the position of Khan.

However, if he wanted to pass on the position of Khan to his son, he would be criticized by the Jin family.

Meng Ge desperately needed a big victory to tell all the Mongols that their Great Khan Meng Ge, the direct grandson of Genghis Khan, was still the bravest warrior.

At the same time, after the destruction of the Song Dynasty, when his prestige reached its peak, he would violate Genghis Khan's legacy and make his son his successor.

It is imperative to conquer Shu and destroy Song.

Anyone who dares to stand in front of him will be crushed by him.

The battle to destroy the Song Dynasty was divided into three armies, which would join forces in Xiangtan, and then go east along the Yangtze River to take Lin'an.

The East Route Army was headed by Tachaer, and 10 people attacked Jingxiang;

In the south, Ashu, the son of Wuliang Hetai, led the Dali Mongolian army and more than [-] servants to attack Tanzhou from the southwest;

Meng Ge personally led the West Route Army to attack Sichuan and Shu...

And Mengge's West Route Army was divided into several routes. Mengge traveled from Jianmenguan to Jialing River; Moge traveled from Yangzhou to Micang Road; Bolicha traveled from Tongguan to Mianzhou;

The soldiers and horses from all walks of life to attack Sichuan and Shu will meet in Diaoyu City, Hezhou.

Perhaps, in order to show the majesty of the Great Khan, the progress of the other roads was not fast.

For example, Niu Lin, who clearly defeated the Song general Zhang Shi early on, is still deliberately wandering in Xu and Lu...

Mongo understands.

Also happy to show off his invincibility.

After taking down Kuzhu Pass, he broke through Goose Ding Castle.Before the soldiers encircled Dahuo City, the Song army fortresses around Dahuo City that could be used as support were pulled out.

So far, Dahuo City has become an isolated city without support.

In the big tent, Meng Ge was holding a wine bag and drinking wine carelessly.

Wang Dechen understood what he meant, and asked, "Who can win Dahuo City for the Great Khan?!"

First in Mongolian and then in Chinese.

Soon, a surrendered minister quickly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "The sinful minister, Wang Zhong, is willing to persuade the Great Khan to surrender to Dahuo City Guard Yang Dayuan..."

After listening to Wang Dechen's translation, Meng Ge glanced at Wang Zhong indifferently, his expression was only cold.

Since entering Shu, Song people are really different.

Some people would rather die than surrender, and some surrender and then rebel... But, in every city, there are always some people who surrender the city.

Brother Meng looked down on these Song people, and wondered if there was such a city that could not surrender from the beginning to the end.

He swallowed the wine in his mouth and said, "Go..."

~~
"Pu Shuai must be very difficult."

"Yes."

On Laojun Mountain, Yi Shiying and Li Xia, who had just won a big victory, discussed how to repay Pu Zezhi's victory. Soon, the joy of victory turned into deep worry.

The Mongolian Lord's personal conquest has been confirmed so far.

Even if Li Xia and even more people had guessed it early, the Song Army's defenses were still insufficient.

How to consolidate the victories of the Zhushu and Lu defense lines, and then support Hezhou and Chongqing, immediately became an imminent problem.

"Once I think about it, I really don't even have time to catch my breath."

Li Xia was not as worried as Yi Shiying, his eyes had already landed on Syria on the map.

He knew that Meng Ge would die in this war.

Well, let's let the Mongol lord cast off like a broken bamboo. Li Xia is already planning to run Syria and accumulate strength for counterattack.

Thinking like this, a faint uneasiness suddenly appeared in the bottom of my heart, like the palpitation of being pricked by a needle.

But that aura was like a wisp of dust, which Li Xia couldn't catch.

He has never been like this.

"It's all right," he told himself, "a lot of things have changed, and it's a good change..."
