end song

Chapter 493
"The Mongolian army is here."

Pu Wei came quickly and whispered something in Li Xia's ear.

"The sentry horses have arrived, and the Mongolian army is more than ten miles away."

Li Xia nodded calmly and walked towards Kong Xian.

They are attacking Jianmenguan, but the road is too narrow, and only the vanguard can kill the southern slope.The Song army behind was responsible for shooting arrows, rescuing the wounded, and transporting supplies.

On the side of the Chinese army, rows of soldiers could only raise their heads and wait to enter the customs.

Kong Xian was shouting to boost morale.

He has guarded Yunding Mountain City for many years, and he knows that attacking such a dangerous place is much more useful than attacking the city.

"Did the soldiers hear that?! The surprise soldiers from the north have already arrived, and we will soon regain the Jianmen Gate... Everyone shouted to scare the courage of those mengda!"

"Tell them! Their Tartar Lord is dead!"

"Our General Li killed it!"

The Song soldiers applauded loudly.

However, some school generals approached Kong Xian and said, "General, make up a song. Can you scare the Mongolian army by shouting like this?"

Before Kong Xian could speak, there was another burst of noise from the soldiers behind him.

Li Xia is here.

Returning to Chengdu with the news of killing Meng Ge, his prestige in the army has reached its peak.

Everyone wanted to hear what was going on in the Battle of Diaoyu City, but Li Xia didn't have time to talk to them, and kept marching and marching.

The more than [-] elites he brought back were also exhausted, most of them had no energy to enter Jianmen Pass, including Nie Zhongyou who was injured and was left to guard Chengdu.

Only dozens of people including Lin Zi could continue to follow the expedition, and all kinds of deeds spread from their mouths.But there was no detail, which made all the soldiers feel itchy.

All looking forward to conquering Jianmen Pass, taking Lizhou, and celebrating well.

Every time Li Xia took a step, Song Jun on both sides straightened their backs one after another, and the sound of armor and leather rubbing "shua, shua, shua" was very exciting.

As soon as Kong Xian turned around, he cupped his fists and said, "General Li."

In terms of official position, he, the commander of the imperial front right army and concurrently the commander of Tongchuan Fulu Road, is higher than Li Xia, who is a power-knowledgeer in Lianzhou.

In the past, Li Xia discussed things with Kong Xian and asked him what to do; although Li Xia has not been promoted yet, Kong Xian only intends to obey orders.

A simple manifestation is that Li Xia no longer needs to explain "the Mongolian army is coming", but only asks Kong Xian to command to continue the siege.

"General Li, don't worry!"

Kong Xian took the command flag and said again: "But if there is an order, General Li can send someone to deliver the order!"

The command of this army is obviously more efficient.

Li Xia turned around and walked towards the rear army.

"Yu Tian, ​​Song He! Each leads 1000 people, follow me!"

"Yes!"

There was another sound of footsteps, the soldiers on both sides of the road were still marching forward to attack the city, and the soldiers in the middle of the road strode in another direction.

The queue is neat and beautiful...

~~
All the way to the forest at the entrance of the pavilion, Yu Tian and Song He received the order and began to climb to the sides of the cliff.

Yu Tian's heart was burning.

He was also captured by the Song Army during the Battle of Mahujiang. He was rescued by Li Xia in Qingfu. Since then, he has followed Li Xia and experienced the battles of Dali and Chengdu.

The hundreds of generals who led only a hundred men did not make their mark in these battles.It was more like they were being pulled up by Li Xia little by little, growing up slowly.

Until now, Yu Tian felt an impulse in his heart, wanting to do something bigger.

The defenders of Diaoyu City can fight an ancient battle, and they, the old troops who followed Li Xia first, should win a big victory.

Full of enthusiasm, he came to Jianmen Pass, but his mother was blocked in this pavilion, with only 2000 people defending.It was simply not the turn of Yu Tian and the people in the back to kill.

Fortunately, a large number of Mongolian troops are here.

It's a weird idea...

"Don't squat down, your feet will be sore, let me lie down, cover the helmet with leaves, and bury it low."

Yu Tian is already very familiar with how to ambush.

This is their best style of play.

He deployed his troops, prepared the fire packs, pushed the porcelain fireballs away in front of him, and cursed: "What are you looking at? Do you want to see? I will see if the Mongolian army has arrived. Lie on your stomach and squint, don't sleep It's over."

"Pass the order one by one, let half of the Mongolian army pass, and wait for Lao Tzu to call."

"Pass it over, half of the Mongolian army will pass over, wait for him to call..."

After a while, the mountain forest returned to calm.

~~
After a long time, the sound of horseshoes sounded, and dust and smoke burst out.

The first to arrive was a red army exploring horses, and rushed to Jianmen Pass.

There is no time for the Mongolian army to climb high and look far.

Li Xia looked up and did not give the order to attack immediately. He planned to wait for a large group of Mongolian troops to enter the pavilion road, block the intersection, and cut off the Mongolian army.

The plan was a bit risky, and it was necessary to ensure that Yang Ben's surprise soldiers could scare the defenders on the pass before the Mongolian army reached Jianmen Pass.

But he dared to take this risk. He had confidence in the morale of the soldiers under his command, and he also knew that the Mongolian army that entered Shu after Mengge's death was not very motivated.

More than a thousand Mongolian troops entered the valley.

Suddenly, the smoke and dust raised by the Mongolian army in the distance stopped advancing, and the flag waved.

Li Xia could understand the flag language of the Mongolian army, and knew that it meant that the army camped on the spot.

He frowned and ordered decisively.

"Go!"

"Oh!"

The fireball began to fall, and Song Jun rushed out from the forest.

……

But Li Xia was a little disappointed.

The Mongolian army did not enter the set?

why?
The ambush was spotted?
It shouldn't be, the Mongolian army never expected that there would be nearly ten thousand Song troops attacking and closing the gate.Right now, they should desperately grab back to Guancheng.

No, it's not that the Mongolian army saw it.

But the situation has changed...

The more than [-] Mongolian troops were there, turning from offense to defense.Li Xia asked herself in her heart, is there a way to defeat them?

No.

He will only use the mountains and rivers of Sichuan and Shu to maneuver quickly to attract the vigorous Mongolian army into the preset battlefield, ambush and sneak attack;

These styles of play have allowed him to win battles time and time again.

But now, it doesn't work.

The art of war is just and strange.

The righteous way of war requires strength after all, a large number of troops and powerful combat power; Qidao just divides the big battlefield into small battlefields, so that his own strength in the small battlefields can crush the enemy.

Once Mengge died, the Mongolian army would no longer enter an ambush as easily as it did during the strategic offensive.

A large battlefield cannot be divided into small battlefields.If you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to adapt to the current battlefield situation.

Even, the era of guarding Shu with mountain bases may be over.

If Kublai Khan uses a large number of Han troops in the future, the original grassland tactics will inevitably be changed.

With the Han army becoming the main force, perhaps there will be more large-scale battles on the Song and Mongolian battlefields.

This is exactly the style of play that Li Xia is far from mature and has been trying to avoid.

Not only is he not good at it, looking at the entire Song Dynasty, since Meng Gong's death, there has never been a handsome talent.

……

The small fight at the bottom of the mountain is still going on.

However, Li Xia felt dissatisfied and fearful, fearing that if he sailed against the current, he would retreat if he did not advance.

It's like on the way to become a champion, every second may be overtaken by others.

He must grow up faster and become handsome...

~~
Brother Mo led the army to reach Jianmen Pass more than ten miles away. Seeing that the pavilion road ahead was more than ten miles long, he immediately ordered the army to stop.

It's not like Li Xia thinks so much.

He thought very simply... he didn't want to fight.

If it was a small group of Song troops, of course they would immediately take back Jianmen Pass.

However, this Song army was able to attack Jianmen Pass so quickly, its leader must be a capable person.

Without knowing the opponent's strength, he rashly entered the narrow pavilion... Isn't that what Changshengtian didn't give him a brain?
In the past, when the Mongolian army swept across Sichuan and Shu, some generals might plunge in.That is eager to do meritorious service.

Now, who will make meritorious deeds for them?It's time to sweat profusely.

Wang Zhongchen was worried about Lizhou, but he was inclined to go to Jianmen Pass immediately, and he was still riding his horse to Mo Ge's side to persuade him.

People have not yet arrived, only to hear the shouts of killing in front of them.

"Report! The red army who explored horses ahead was ambushed and intercepted by the Song people... Please support the King Zong!"

Wang Zhongchen was about to step forward to plead for orders, only to hear Brother Mo yelling loudly: "Mingjin! Call back!"

Immediately, there was a loud ringing sound.

~~
"Zong Wang."

"I know what you're going to say, but I won't go until I find out how many Song people are in this terrible valley!"

Brother Mo didn't say anything.

"I'm not the brother who is so stupid that he must beat his head in Diaoyu City."

Wang Zhongchen was silent for a while, and gradually calmed down.

He cares about Lizhou very much. After all, his younger brother Wang Dechen has worked hard for more than ten years, it's true.But in fact, the foundation of the Wang family is in Gongchang.

For example, Zhang Rou guards Bozhou and Shi Tianze manages Kaifeng, but they are always "Shuntian Zhang Family" and "Zhending Historian".

Right now, the safe evacuation of Sichuan and Shu and helping Kublai Khan succeed to the throne are fundamental to guarantee the interests of the Gongchang Wang family.

Of course, Jianmen Pass can't just be thrown away.

After Wang Zhongchen calmed down, he immediately sent sentry horses to investigate.

Until it got dark, while Wang Zhongchen was inquiring about the situation of the battle, Jianmen Pass had fallen into the hands of the Song army...
