Catastrophe VII

Robbery (7)

The shouts of killing gradually faded away, and the noise of the soldiers gradually subsided. Several of the Yuan generals who had suffered heavy losses in their subordinates came to Dachun's side in frustration, waiting for his fate.

What surprised them, Dachun, who had always been very strict in governing the army, did not get angry. The expression on his face was surprisingly calm, as calm as the sky before a storm on the prairie.

Da Chun silently looked at the direction where Yang Xiaorong disappeared, and set off a storm in his heart. He was not a man who could not afford to lose, and the losses caused by Yang's sudden attack were far from reaching the point of breaking the muscles and bones of the 60,000-strong army. But Yang Xiaorong's flamboyance at that moment reminded him of a lot of things.

That's a kind of performance that can only be seen in the victorious Mongols. As for the Song army, they are either obscene and cowardly like the original Yang Xiaorong. or like General Li Tingzhi who stubbornly defended the lonely city, he was helpless and tragic. Yang Xiaorong's publicity at that moment expressed self-confidence, pride, and the absoluteness of fighting to the end. No matter how bold Da Chun is, he doesn't dare to toss behind his back with such an opponent.

The Great Song Dynasty has changed, and under the leadership of Wen Tianxiang, they have regained their self-esteem. Fighting an opponent who knows how to respect himself requires some extraordinary means.

Since he was a teenager, he has served as Kublai Khan's personal bodyguard, accompanying him all the way from Saiwai to Dachun in the south of the Yangtze River, and knows what the least costly means of conquering a country is. The Great Khan and the Great Khan's fathers used this method to conquer the unruly Jin Kingdom, the untamed Western Xia, and more than 100 cities in the Western Regions.

Although, the conquered areas may not be able to regain their original prosperity after hundreds of years. However, for the Mongols under the blessing of the Immortal Heaven, only whether the means are effective or not, there is no distinction between justice and evil.

The area where there is no one happens to be the pasture of the Mongols.

Immortal Heaven bless the Mongols.

"Marshal, do you want to continue the march?" Tens of thousands of Agudamur households stepped forward and reminded in a low voice. He didn't want Da Chun to meditate any longer, tens of thousands of troops were still waiting for his orders, and if they didn't advance or retreat in the valley, the army's heart would have to collapse.

"Order the three armies, count the men and horses, send the vanguard to check the terrain nearby, and choose a place with a water source to camp temporarily!" Dachun's mind was recalled by Agudamur, and he commanded in a calm voice.

"Dashuai, aren't we leaving today?" Agu Damur took a look, not knowing what medicine was sold in Dachun's gourd. Yang Xiaorong's blow just now caused heavy losses to the army, but the losses of the Broken Army were also quite a few, and the results after the battlefield inventory showed that at least more than 700 Broken Soldiers were killed in the attack just now.

With this kind of attack with huge losses, Agudamur is sure that Yang Xiaorong does not have the courage or strength to come back a second time.

"Don't go, don't continue to move forward until the soldiers and horses of Jiubadu arrive. The top priority is to stabilize the rear, and don't give the captive army to recapture this passage! Da Chun nodded, his gaze slowly starting to grow cold.

"Yes!" Agudamur agreed, and was just about to arrange the specific details. When I turned my head, I just saw Li Guida's flattering smiling face.

"General, General Agu, the last general knows a good place to camp. It's just a short distance on the left. Li Guida smiled humbly, as if the younger generation had met a rich distant elder.

"Where?" Without waiting for Agu Damur to answer, Dachun asked first. Li Guida's current appearance is very similar to Yang Xiaorong back then. Da Chun, who had just suffered a loss, was not at ease with his one hundred and twenty pieces.

"It's just northwest, not far away. Climb over the mound on the left, and you can walk there in half an hour. Where it is called Sanxi, it is the place where Luoxi, Huoxi and Jiulong River meet. The terrain is flat, the water is abundant, and it is just right to set up camp! Li Guida broke a branch and said paintedly.

Familiarity with the terrain is one of the requirements for the assessment of officers in the Broken Army. In order to keep his position, Li Guida has made great efforts in this regard. At this moment, although he has taken refuge in the Tartars, the basic skills of the generals of the Broken Army have not been lost. In front of Da Chun, he didn't dare to point arbitrarily, so he drew a sketch on the ground with a tree branch, roughly marking the location of Sanxi.

"General Li seems to be familiar with it?" Da Chun's thick eyebrows were raised, and he asked suspiciously.

The Mongolians who grew up on the steppe have deep eyes because the sky and the earth are empty. Under doubt, majesty is born. The knife-like gaze immediately stabbed Li Guida by half, bent his waist, looked at Dachun's stirrup and said: "The madman insulted Sven and forced the civil officials to learn to farm. A friend of the last general tried to grow Champong rice in Sanjiang, and once wrote about the terrain there! ”

"Zhancheng rice, is it better than other rice, or is it a large yield," Da Chun asked ramblingly. He was curious about everything Wen Tianxiang did. This person can make a general like Yang Xiaorong reborn in more than a year, and the means are beyond the reach of ordinary people. As for what Li Guida accused, planting rice to insult the face of scholars, Da Chun didn't understand and didn't understand. Even when the Mongols treat cattle and sheep, they also have the task of cutting fresh grass and grabbing fat. Is it true that in the eyes of scholars, the people are not as good as cattle and sheep?

"The yield is large, and the ripening is early!" Li Guida replied truthfully, suddenly remembering that he was still condemning this incident just now, his face turned red, and he closed his mouth.

"It seems that General Li just doesn't like to herd sheep, and he doesn't care about drinking milk and eating meat!" Da Chun laughed and teased with a Mongolian proverb. Stop Agudamur and let him stay on the sidelines. Then he asked Li Guida, are you familiar with the terrain of other places in Fujian, can you draw a map, you don't have to be too detailed, just mark the location of the city, and draw it now! “

"The last general is willing to serve!" Li Guida was flattered and replied happily. This is the second time since the attack on Longyan that Da Chun has given him a smile. Seeing the opportunity to receive another meritorious service award, how could Li Guida not do his best. With the skills cultivated in the military academy, on the mud ground, all the cities and roads of Fujian Road, some unknown sheep grazing trails, and some hidden villages were drawn.

This painting took two hours to draw. Tens of thousands of troops were impatiently waiting, and some Mongol generals even gathered around, preparing to drag Li Guida to a secluded place and beat him violently when he finished his performance, so as not to cause chaos to everyone again.

"If Ben Shuai wants to take Zhangzhou, which way do you think it is better to take?" Seeing that Li Guida was almost finished, Da Chun jumped off his horse and pointed to the map with his horsewhip and asked.

"Take Jiulong Creek, walk along the riverside, the terrain is the slowest, and when you encounter the broken army, you can use cavalry to assault. But before taking Zhangzhou, we must take Nanjing and peace, otherwise, once Zhangzhou can not be attacked, Chen Hangyan will lead the army back to help, and our army will be defeated! Li Guida pointed to the two small cities next to Shiteng River with a tree branch, and said teasingly: "Xixi, Shiteng River and Zhangjiang River are not wide, but now the rainy season has just passed, and the water flow is very fast. ”

Da Chun's eyebrows jumped again, this is a good move. According to the news sent by Zhang Hongfan, Chen Hangyan's soldiers and horses are rushing back in the starry night, and Zhang Hongzheng has already divided his troops to block it, but whether he can rob it or not is between the two. Once Chen Hangyan arrived here before Zhang Hongfan, the battle situation in Fujian would not be optimistic.

Li Guida looked at Da Chun's face and knew what his master was worried about, and the branches drew a circle on the map, marking the current location of his side. continued: "According to the opinion of the last general, our army should not attack too quickly. Yong'an is the gateway to Southern Jianzhou, and when the thieves heard that the western front had been lost, they would inevitably mobilize troops and horses to defend it. Even if our army arrives, it will have to fight a fierce battle! ”

"Fight it, I'm afraid!" Several Mongolian generals shouted. Although I don't have confidence in my heart, I still have to hold on to the hardness on the surface. Since the army went south, no Mongol had ever said that they were afraid of words in front of the Song people, they didn't want to be the first, and they didn't want to die.

"It's not that I'm afraid, but it's not worth it!" Li Guida glanced around and said contemptuously. After the last suggestion to persuade him to move forward desperately was vetoed by Dachun, he considered it carefully and thought of an idea that could invite merit and receive a reward. The conclusion reached after a few considerations was, of course, much more elaborate than the methods that a few Mongol generals had come up with on the improvisation. "The thief is belligerent, but he doesn't know how to fight. The light knows that it will be forever safe. But I don't know that Sanxi Village is more important than Yong'an. Our army of 50,000 horses and horses could not take Fujian. However, the garrison of Sanxi Village can keep the road to Fujian without losing. Waiting for General Zhang's troops, he will join forces in one place, more than 400,000 people, and fight wherever he wants! ”

"Boss, please look, if the commander wants to wait for General Zhang here, Sanxi Village is the best place to garrison troops." Seeing that there were more and more Mongolian generals surrounding him, Li Guida was interested in showing off, and the pointer said, "The terrain here is gentle, and it is suitable for cavalry assaults. The location is between Tingzhou and Quanzhou, but south and north. The troops stationed here can not only threaten Zhangzhou by virtue of the water transportation of the Jiulong River, but also go north to Tingzhou or south to Quanzhou. The thief could not judge the direction of the marshal's advance, so he could only divide his troops to defend. It's a pity that the thief has no eyes, but it's a pity that Yang Xiaorong's guy knows that this place is a battle for soldiers, but he can't afford to garrison it..."

Hearing this, the eyes of the generals of the Yuan Army present lit up. Although Li Guida's personality makes them look down on him, those who have fought in the war can see what kind of important place Sanxi is located after his explanation. Taking this small village is equivalent to firmly holding the initiative in the battlefield in western Fujian in his own hands.

"I said why Yang Xiaorong is like a quail guarding the nest, endlessly harassing!" Da Chun figured out the enemy's strategic intentions in an instant. Yang Xiaorong obviously also discovered the strategic importance of Sanxi Village, and in front of the 60,000 army, it was too late to ask Wen Tianxiang for instructions or temporarily strengthen the defense, so he took the risk alone, wanting to use his flamboyant actions to lead the army away. Thinking of this, Da Chun smiled slightly, pointed his horse whip in the direction of Sanxi, and ordered Li Guida loudly, "Give you a team of 10,000 people, quietly touch it, cut down all the Song people who are higher than the wheels, and make room for the army to camp!" ”

"Dashuai!" Li Guida was taken aback, took two steps back, and asked.

After the defeat, he took refuge in Dachun, and Li Guida gave himself three reasons, the first was that Wen Tianxiang was disloyal to the Great Song Dynasty. The second is that the Broken Army was disrespectful to Confucianism, deviant, and insulted Sven. The third is that the Metropolitan Governor's Office has formed a party for personal gain and suppressed talented people. Although none of these reasons can stand up to scrutiny, Li Guida can barely get drunk on this basis and not suffer too much in his heart.

But now, Dachun ordered him to go to Tu Village. This has clearly exceeded the moral bottom line he has set for himself.

"Don't you scholars have a saying, 'Rebels and thieves are punished by everyone'? Why, General Li thinks that those who pay money and food for the remnants of the Song Dynasty are not chaotic ministers and thieves? Do you still want to leave a way back for yourself, and learn from General Yang Xiaorong in the future? Da Chun snorted coldly and asked.

"The last will not dare, the last will not dare!" Cold sweat immediately trickled down his forehead, and Li Guida explained as he shook it. "The last general just wants to be able to touch it unconsciously and prevent the Song people from escaping in advance!"

A Song character was spat out of his mouth very clearly. In a moment, Li Guida completed the transformation from the Song people to the Mongols, revealing his hideous nature.

No pain, no gain. Everything is inferior, only reading is high. Isn't it to trample others under your feet, why bother to be unbearable for a while, and ruin your own future?!!

"Go, dispose of your possessions!" Da Chun waved his hand and motioned for Li Guida to go on a mission. Turning his head, he ordered several Mongolian and party generals: "Agu Damur, you lead a team of 10,000 people to search for thirty miles back, and if there are people in the villages on both sides of the road, I will kill them." Houses and farmland were all burned down! ”

"Yes! The last will obey! Agudamur licked her lips and replied excitedly. Since the Great Khan listened to Dong Wenshan's words last year and strictly ordered the army not to slaughter wantonly anymore, he has not felt this kind of joy of letting go of killing for a long time. The bloodthirsty memories made his muscles tremble.

"Li Hao, Yuan Feng, the two of you each take 5,000 soldiers, search to the east and west, and within thirty miles, not a single living Song person is allowed!" Da Chun sneered and threw two red arrows in front of the horse.

The two commanders of the Red Army happily picked up the arrows and ran towards their own troops. Yang Xiaorong's sneak attack made them lose face, and after a while, they wanted to get this account back a hundred times from the Song people.

The Mongolian army, the Tanma Red Army, the New Attached Army, and several tens of thousands of troops were sent back by Dachun successively. It was still early in the morning, and he had no intention of continuing the march today. The Breakers used rogue tactics against him, and he wanted to save the day with the tactics that the Mongols were best at.

There are two cities behind him, three hundred miles away. None of the Song people along the way, Da Chun did not plan to stay. He knew that only slaughter could strike at the newly established confidence of the Song people. Only slaughter can bring the disgruntled. North of the Yangtze River, Da Yuan slaughtered countless cities, so that the Han people no longer dared to raise their heads. In Fujian, he still has to do the same. Let those who dare to resist see that this is the fate of those who refuse to be the people of Dayuan.

Kill! Looking through the oily greenery, Da Chun saw the red in his eyes.

Immortal Heaven bless the Mongols.

"Dad, how can you give this order, what if the Great Khan blames it!" The voice of her daughter Tana drew Dachun's feverish gaze back from afar. Riding a horse, Tana, who was sweating all over her face, stopped in front of Dachun and reminded.

"Great Khan? The Great Khan will understand my tactics, he was even more ruthless than I am now. Silly girl, if we don't kill, will the Broken Army take the initiative to fight! Da Chun looked up to the sky and laughed, and replied with a bit of madness. Since her daughter Tana was released by the Broken Army, she is like a different person, much quieter and more well-behaved. But she became not like the Mongols, and in their hearts, the Mongols should not take the lives of the Song people seriously.

"Daddy!" Tana screamed softly and stopped talking. My father can't make a mistake, and if he was still the same Tana back then, he would have thought of this trick. Fighting in Fujian cannot be done according to the convention. The firearms of the Breakers are sharp and their armor is excellent. City by city, I don't know how long this battle will take. And the rear of the army will also have to bear the threat of stragglers from the broken army at any time.

By using the method of massacre, the army of the captives can be forced out as soon as possible. Only in the decisive battle on the battlefield chosen by the Mongols could the superiority of iron cavalry and strong bows be used to restrain the grenades and artillery of the captive army. The reason why the army did not use this move was because everyone did not think that the Broken Army had the strength to fight a decisive battle with the Yuan army, and they were unwilling to pay such a big price. And the two months of fighting have shown that the Broken Army is completely capable of confronting the hundreds of thousands of yuan army.

A few wisps of smoke drifted from afar, and in the mountains and forests, there was a faint cry, like a person, and like the wind.

"We Song people know how to build our own homeland, while you Mongols will only plunder and destroy!" In my ears, a familiar voice sounded again. Tana smiled wryly and shook her head, trying her best to get the handsome face out of her mind. But the more you shake it, the clearer it is, the more you shake it, the clearer it is.

"Sihai family, your Great Khan, your father and yourself, do you treat the Song people as people?" Lin Qi's question knocked on her heart over and over again. There was an unprovoked pain in his chest, and the taste of blood filled his mouth.

The mountain wind stung her eyes, and in the tears, she saw the surrounding mountains, rivers, and land, all red.

Yin red, centered on the three streams, stretches and spreads out in all directions.

At the beginning of August of the second year of Song Xiangxing, the Yuan army entered Sanxi. Twenty-four people who did not evacuate with the Broken Capture Army were all executed by Li Guida. Then, a killing began. The frenzied Yuan army no longer attacked the hinterland of Fujian, but turned around and carefully combed through the cities and villages conquered along the way.

Although most of the people were mobilized by the Broken Army and local officials in Fujian, they retreated into the mountains. But there are still some people who have illusions about the military discipline of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and stay at home, and they fall under the butcher's knife.

In particular, the two cities of Yongding and Longyan, because they had been conquered by Dachun, temporarily belonged to the Northern Yuan, and tens of thousands of innocent people were killed.

Xiao Mingzhe, who came in a hurry, was forced to be helpless, so he had to take the initiative to attack Dachun. The two sides met on the bank of Luoxi, in a place called Loess Ping.

Dachun suppressed the steel crossbows of the Breakers with a strong bow, dodged the Breakers' grenades in a dispersed formation, and outflanked the Breakers' artillery positions with cavalry.

Xiao Mingzhe fought against 40,000 enemies with 15,000 tired troops, and took the initiative to retreat. The Yuan army followed the pursuit, burned down all the houses and farmland along the way, and sent a search team to the hilly areas to find the fleeing people and slaughter them on a large scale.

After Yang Xiaorong led his army to annihilate several Northern Yuan search teams, he was caught up by the Mongol cavalry. The two sides fought fiercely, from noon to late at night. The four Yuan armies rushed one after another, and the Yang army was outnumbered, killing more than 2,000 people, and the remaining soldiers evacuated the battlefield at night. After the battalion was broken and Chu Tianshu led the troops, he ran out of crossbows and committed suicide and martyrdom.

Dachun turned south and fought with Zhangzhou reinforcements. Zhu Ping, the general of the Broken Army, was defeated, forcibly broke through the siege, and led the remnants to retreat to Quanzhou.

In mid-August, Zhang Hongfan led a large army into Fujian, and in the name of the marshal of the Yuan army and the Song Dynasty, he issued the "Rebellion Order", which "regulated" Dachun's methods of massacre. It is stipulated that 'whoever is a thief or a Song official shall slaughter the whole family.'" Those who conceal and do not report in the neighborhood will slaughter Quanwu (Yuan Dynasty household registration management measures, five neighboring families are together, and they are guilty of joint sitting). The army came to the city, and the defenders defended the city for one day, and slaughtered the city for one day after the city was broken. Those who defend the city for more than ten days will never seal the sword after the city is broken. At the same time, he ordered the people everywhere to expose each other and denounce the families associated with the Broken Prisoners to atone for their sins.

Blood, stained the Jiulong River red.

Lu Shikui led an army of 100,000 people down the Jiulong River to attack Hua'an. Hua'an is a land of projectiles, the city wall is newly built, less than six feet high, and the defenders are only more than 1,000 people. The guards Cangsong, the people, heard that the Yuan army was coming, dismissed the people, and refused to defend the city. Master Lu persuaded him to say, "A hundred times the difference, how to be brave." Cang Song said to him, "There is no match in the country, how can you be heroic!" ”。 Lu Shikui smiled and said: "Let's see what heroes are!" "The siege of the city was not attacked for more than ten days, and the defenders ran out of food and were unable to engage in battle. Shi Kui sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender, and Cang Song said, "It's late, tomorrow morning you should obey orders." "On the second day, the Yuan army reorganized its troops to wait for Cangsong to surrender. In the afternoon, before the city gate was opened, Lu Shikui sent the dead soldiers to climb the city and enter, and saw that there was no one alive in the city. More than 1,000 soldiers were poisoned to death.

Lu Shikui was furious, burned the city, and the soldiers pointed directly at Zhangzhou. On the way, he encountered 2,000 civilian troops under Meng Lang of Xixi County, and the two sides fought fiercely for half a day. The civilian army was defeated, and Meng Lang led the troops to fight and retreat, causing the Jiulong River to be surrounded. Some fishmen led a small boat to rescue, and the army invited Meng Lang to get on the boat and walk by himself, Lang said: "The county father and elder pushed the waves for the county order, the waves can't protect the territory, and they can't settle the people, so how can they stand on their own feet in the world!" Nai left a letter to Lu Shikui, saying: "The general did not attack the city, and the waves did not defend it." The officials are responsible, and the people are not guilty! Then he looked east and bowed, turned around and walked into the Kowloon River. There were more than 300 remnants of the soldiers under his command, all of whom refused to surrender and died in battle.

Li Heng was ordered by Zhang Hongfan to lead the Ma Chi Army, the new annex army and the local heroes to strengthen 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Huizhou. Mrs. Xu led her troops to meet the battle, and the two sides fought fiercely in Boluo, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. Yuan generals Li Zhi, Nell Buhua, and Park Zheyuan were killed in battle, and the Xing Song army died more than 10,000 in battle.

After Chen Hangyan and Zhang Shijie knew that Emperor Song was safe, Fujian would be in danger, and they led the troops to come back to help in the starry night. When Zhang Hongfan heard the news, he sent his brother Hongzheng to lead the army to attack Pinghe and Yunxiao, cutting off Chen Hangyan's eastward return route. Chen Hangyan engaged Zhang Hongzheng in battle, breaking through the six lines of defense of the Yuan army and killing more than 20,000 enemies. Zhang Hongzheng did not dare to retreat, and he was powerless to stop the enemy, and when he was in danger, Lu Shikui led the army and joined forces with Zhang Hongzheng. With 150,000 soldiers and horses, the 40,000 broken army that blocked Chen Hangyan's eyes.

Zhang Hongfan sent Zhang Qi and Ali Hague to attack Tingzhou, and Tao Laomo, the defender of the Broken Army, got the news of the defeat of Xiao Mingzhe and Yang Xiaorong successively, and took the initiative to abandon the Liancheng defense line. With hundreds of thousands of people in Liancheng, Qingliu and Ninghua, they slowly retreated across Jiulong Creek. Across the river, the last line of defense was constructed.

In late August, the Yuan army, which had had had enough of robbery and killing, launched an offensive again, and the troops were divided into three routes. On the north road, Zhang Qi forcibly crossed Jiulong Creek. Trying to defeat Tao Lao Mobu and enter Shao Wu. In the middle lane, Zhang Hongfan and Da Chun joined forces to attack Yong'an. On the south road, Arakhan led 10,000 Mongol troops, 10,000 Han troops, and 40,000 new annexed troops, and the soldiers pointed to Quanzhou.

Immortal Heaven blesses the Mongols, and the three-way Yuan army is like a three-headed demon, and where it passes, there is only scorched earth.

Alcoholic's note: Historically, the massacre of the Northern Yuan Dynasty reduced the Chinese population. Until the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it did not return to the level of the late Song Dynasty. This text is written only to remember the tragedy, not to provoke contradictions.

It happened, remember it, avoid repeating it, that's all.
