Chapter 816

Dong Wenwei has persuaded Wei Ruoxu who knew Shangzhou to surrender.

Wei Ruoxu is Liu Heima's brother-in-law. He went out of Shangzhou with Liu Heima in the early years and got to know the local area, so he was appointed here by Li Xia.

The garrison in the city has already been dispatched many times to support Wuguan. They don't have many troops, and they are helpless. They are destined to be unable to defend.

Dong Wenwei's persuasion to surrender was also very sincere, saying that the Liu family's father and son would not be forgiven for defecting to the enemy, but Wei Ruoxu was only implicated by the Liu family and had a chance to turn around.

He also said that the people in the city can still be saved if they surrender now. If they don't surrender, they will slaughter the city after they are all killed.

Give enough steps.

Whether Wei Ruoxu was acting out of public or selfish reasons, he surrendered logically.

This is the most common and common thing. It is usually like this in the Great Mongolian Kingdom to siege cities and plunder land. The massacre of the city is a deterrent, intimidating other cities to surrender one after another.

After a month of hard work, the Mongolian army along the way finally won.

Breaking through Wuguan, descending to Shangzhou, and attacking Languan, they were only a little bit short of being able to drive through Guanzhong for a long time.

……

After entering the city and taking over the city defense, Dong Wenwei immediately explained the situation to Wei Ruoxu.

"It's true to guard Guanzhong for a month, but if you defend it, you will win. Otherwise, what is the difference between January and February? On the contrary, the longer you guard, the more miserable the common people will be."

It is said that Second Brother Dong treats people sincerely, and he really expressed his feelings when he said these things.

Dong Wenwei did not expect that the various generals under Li Xia's command could resist the Mongolian army for so long, which made him feel ashamed of the Mongolian army's incompetence and admire these Song generals.

But the truth is still the same. It can be kept for a while, but it cannot be kept for a lifetime.

Song Guo only knows how to defend, but Li Xia is a little better, taking advantage of the civil strife in Mongolia to counterattack and take advantage of it.

This makes people feel threatened, but it is not enough to change the offensive and defensive momentum.

When the Mongolian Kingdom turned around, Song Guo and Li Xia were always the ones who were beaten.

That's it...

"Fortunately, the war is coming to an end. Li Xia's defense line only needs to be breached one way, it is like a ship with a hole cut open, and it will sink in an instant. Li Xia's destruction is only in sight, and the southwest can be stabilized sooner. ..."

Suddenly, Dong Wenwei stopped talking.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the south.

A army of more than a thousand soldiers is rushing here along the Dan River.

Looking at the banner, it was Shi Tongfu who finally arrived, much later than expected, and should have broken through Baiyang Pass earlier and rushed over.

Why didn't you send a letter to the Malay newspaper in advance?

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Dong Wenwei soon realized something was wrong.

I don't know why, looking at the military formation, it looks like a defeated army fleeing in a panic?
Because Li Xia did not pretend to be a defeated army to sneak attack once or twice, Dong Wenwei did not immediately let Shi Tongfu's soldiers and horses enter the city, but only hung Shi Tongfu to the top of the city in a hanging basket.

In front of Wei Ruoxu, Shi Tongfu told the unexpected news.

"The last general is incompetent! Failed to defend Wuguan..."

~~
That night.Dong Wenwei's son Dong Shiqing galloped to the Mongolian army camp under Languan City.

He conveyed bad news to everyone, and at the same time relayed Dong Wenwei's opinion on this battle.

"The key to victory in the Battle of Lantian between Qin and Chu was not in Lantian, but in Nanyang. Because Nanyang was the site of the Four Wars, the terrain has not changed throughout the ages. The Song army expected to use the same strategy to sandwich us, but forgot the present It is not the Warring States, the vast Mongolian country is not the Chu country 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 too much time has been delayed in attacking the pass.The six-way army attacked a warlord of the Song Dynasty, gathered outside the Guanzhong without breaking through for a month, but the general approached Languan, one step away from Chang'an.So what if reinforcements from the Song army came?It was too late, and the general could not be stopped from rushing into the Guanzhong, quickly settling the southwest for His Majesty, and making the first battle exploit among the 20 people.As for Wuguan behind him, my father came to stop him..."

Tie didn't fully understand all the languages, but he could feel Dong Wenwei's faint worry and anxiety.

This battle is obviously an overwhelming advantage, but it has not made much progress so far. How can we not be in a hurry?
Now that they have finally reached the blue pass, and the Song army is blocking them behind them, of course they cannot retreat, but they should break through the weak blue pass as soon as possible and win this battle as soon as possible.

~~
Languan didn't know what happened to the south, only that the Mongolian army's offensive became more and more fierce.

Although the Mongolian army did not give up the method of consuming the Song army's thunderbolt guns, arrows, wood and stones by driving their mouths, they understood that only consumption could not exhaust the Song army, so they began to send elites to fight against the city.

This is naturally a siege method with heavy casualties.

But the Song Army on Languan City had only a few hundred elite soldiers, and the rest were brave and strong.

Min Zhuang can throw wood and rocks and pour gold juice, but he tends to panic when encountering the Mongolian army attacking the top of the city. He was almost captured by the Mongolian army several times.

The elite of the Song army was consumed little by little...

This kind of defensive battle exhausted Wu Qian physically and mentally.

On the night of the 28th day of the first lunar month, Wu Ze helped Wu Qian to sit down in the barracks, looking at his grandfather's haggard face, he was very worried.

"Grandfather, my grandson is already familiar with the situation in Languan, so I can serve as a staff member for General Lou. The Mongolian army is not only in the process of attacking the pass. It is better for grandfather to return to Chang'an to sit in the town."

"I know you child is worried about me, but there are no troops in Guanzhong. If Languan is lost, how can it be safe to return to Chang'an? There is no way to retreat, there is no need to retreat."

"Grandson didn't mean that, but..."

"It's because you think I'm old and useless?"

Of course Wu Ze didn't mean that.

It's not that Wu Qian has other things to deal with. In fact, the administration of the entire Guanzhong in peacetime is busy enough for him. In wartime, he has to deal with not only the southern front, but the logistics of the entire battlefield, as well as the entire The strong walls and clear fields in Guanzhong.

Even if he wants to come to Languan, it already shows that the whole Sichuan and Shanxi has reached its limit.

At this time, Wu Qian didn't say these things, and patted Wu Ze with a smile, not letting his grandson talk, and talking on his own.

"That day, I told you that Xie An's contribution is not enough, so what kind of contribution is enough? The lost land should be recovered, and the world should be unified. Whether the recovery is a merit or a crime is beyond my consideration. Today I only talk about how to do it."

"Yes."

"The gap between us and Mongolia's national strength can only be made up by a big victory. One game or two games is not enough. I don't know how many games we can win. I think we can't see that day. Just say... start to reverse the national situation." The first big victory was won by Wang Jian in Diaoyu City. This time, it is the second game, without the terrain of Diaoyu City, and the Mongolian army invaded from several directions, we cannot lose all the way."

At this point, Wu Qian sighed and said, "It's difficult."

Of course it was difficult. If the Battle of Diaoyu City was a miracle, it would take miracles again and again to turn the country around.

"The harder it is, the more you can't vent your anger. There are no troops in Guanzhong to support, only my old man who can't lift his hands will come to encourage the soldiers. When we grit our teeth and hold on until Menglu can't hold on, then we will win. .”

With such a high-status person in charge, the soldiers will not think of surrendering.

High fighting spirit and sufficient determination are 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 in a hurry... Also, the robbers who are used to robbing have not seen any spoils in a month after the war, how can they not be in a hurry?"

"Don't worry if they are in a hurry, they won't be able to attack even if they are in a hurry."

"According to the example of the Mongolian army's attack on Shu, many mountain cities were successfully attacked by them by climbing dangerous places at night. Don't think that they only know how to ride horses and shoot arrows. Don't slack off."

"Yes, grandfather, please rest well, grandson will go to patrol the city now."

……

Wu Ze was originally a noble son, but the battle in just a few days made the skin on his face look rough.

He grew up extremely fast and became more and more stable.

Some people are just gifted at everything.Just like Wu Qian, he was able to win the top prize at a young age, which is better than many people who study hard.

The same is true for Wu Ze, who learns literature and martial arts, manages the army and fights, and is quick to learn.

Now he has replaced Mr. Dai, temporarily acting as Luhu's staff officer.

Mr. Dai said that he was a scholar, but in fact he didn't have any fame, he just knew how to read and calculate accounts.Wu Ze was born in the No. [-] Scholar's family, and he felt that at least he could do no worse than Mr. Dai.

But that night, while chatting with Luhu on the watchtower, Luhu said that Wu Ze is not as good as Mr. Dai.

"Mr. Dai usually cheers up the soldiers, but Mr. Wu Lang doesn't."

"How to cheer up?"

Luhu thought for a while, recruited a soldier, and said, "Shuan Wa, what do you want Mr. Wu to tell you?"

"Mr. Dai said, we can win this battle. But when I asked him why he won, the garrison building collapsed."

"Then you want to know why we won?"

"No, I fought with the general, but...Mr. Dai is gone, and I haven't talked to you for two days..."

Wu Ze had never done this before, and he didn't dare to follow the example of his former staff officer to unleash the soldiers. He just tried to explain to this Shuan baby why he was able to win.

After thinking about it, what he said was still what Wu Qian said just now.

"We can hold on, but the Menglu can't. We will defend as long as the Menglu fight. In the end, they must withdraw first. They are still busy fighting for power and wealth, and they are already in a hurry."

"Then we have defended this road, what should we do if the other roads are broken?"

Wu Ze smiled wryly, and said, "Don't worry, our road is the most difficult to fight..."

suddenly.

Luhu stood up abruptly, stretched his bow, and shot an arrow towards the cliff.

There was a muffled groan in the darkness where no one was clearly visible, and someone rolled off the cliff.

"Enemy attack!"

The night at the end of the first lunar month was very dark, and it was difficult to distinguish people in the thin moonlight, but the bonfire on the watchtower illuminated the figures of Hu Hu and Wu Ze.

"Whoosh!"

Luhu leaped forward and threw Wu Ze down, and then turned around, only to see hooks and cables already hooked on the battlements in the darkness.

At the time of the war, there was still a thought in his mind.

"Wu Xianggong is right, Menglu is really in a hurry..."
