Wuzhou is a city with a very special geographical location in terms of Guangxi and Guangdong roads. In the east, there are two mountains, Huanju Mountain and Volcano, which firmly block both sides of Wuzhou like the left and right acropolis, and there is only a mountain road and a waterway in the middle that leads directly to Guangdong. This waterway is called Xunjiang in Guangxi, and Yushui in Guangdong.

Guangzhou, the central capital of Guangnan East Road, is close to the sea, and if you want to send troops to Guangxi, taking the waterway is undoubtedly the fastest shortcut.

And Wuzhou, a mountain city that has been relied on as a military city since its establishment, is equivalent to a barrier between Guangnan and Guangxi.

This mountain city has been of great military importance since ancient times.

In the past, Guangnan and Guangxi were all in the hands of the Yuan army, and it seemed a little chicken. Now that Wanyanzhang has won Wuzhou, its geographical location is instantly highlighted. Ali Hague asked for help from Guangnan, if Guangnan sent troops to help, if you want to reach Guangxi as soon as possible, you can only take the road of Wuzhou, or, it is to detour to Hezhou above Wuzhou, but there is no waterway on the way, I don't know how long it will be delayed, and the loss of food and so on is even more difficult to estimate.

When Wan Yanzhang led the army back to Wuzhou City, the east side of Wuzhou City was in full swing.

The towering city wall between the two mountains of Mt. Huanju and the volcano is bustling with people. Many civilians were helping the craftsmen of the anti-Yuan army to make equipment to defend the city, while others were helping to carry stones and strengthen the city walls. A little further on, the river is already the prototype of the exposed water village. Several large ships are connected to the river by iron cables, and people come and go on them, and they are also in full swing.

Qin Han stood on the city wall with his hands in his hands, quietly watching this scene, his eyes were a little deep.

His eyes are like the dense fog that lingers on the mountains and volcanoes, making people so unpredictable.

Wan Yanzhang led the army back to Wuzhou City, entered from the north gate, and then heard the soldier report that the military Qin Han was leading the soldiers to arrange a defense on the east gate city wall, so he asked the deputy general to return to the camp with the cavalry, and he rushed to the east gate non-stop.

When he arrived at the city wall of the East Gate, he walked straight to Qin Han's side, did not speak, and looked out of the city.

Outside the castle walls, on the east and west sides, along the foothills of Mt. Ringi and the volcano, cottages are also being built. These cottages are built on the mountain, about ten meters high from the avenue, and many people are wielding hoes to dig up the rocks, making the mountain extremely steep.

Wan Yanzhang is also a general who can fight well, so he can naturally see a lot of clues.

After a while, he asked in a low voice, "Are you planning to defend Wuzhou City?" ”

Qin Han didn't answer, probably because he felt that Wan Yanzhang's question was rather superficial.

Wan Yanzhang was not surprised, and said to himself: "We have less than 10,000 troops, do you ask the emperor to send some more soldiers and horses?" ”

Qin Han finally opened his mouth and said lightly: "Although the emperor is young, he has a cautious personality, especially for me, in fact, he is always at ease in his heart. We kill the messengers, even if we take Wuzhou and attack Jingjiang, the emperor may not fully believe me, and if we don't send someone to transfer you and me away, and replace people to defend the city, it is already extremely generous, how can we send troops to help us defend the city? Besides, even if the emperor wants to send us troops, where will he draw manpower? There are still nearly 100,000 remnants of Ali Hague's army, and it is not easy for the emperor to destroy them. ”

"You ......"

Wan Yanzhang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Qin Han to say these words on his face, and then wondered: "Since you obviously know that the emperor doesn't fully trust you, then why didn't you write a letter to reveal your heart to the emperor before killing the messenger?" ”

"Huh."

Qin Han chuckled, "With the emperor's temperament, do you think he will let us kill the messenger?" ”

Wan Yanzhang was stunned again. He suddenly realized that Zhao Dongting seemed to be really different, and he valued anyone's life quite seriously, if they wrote a letter to kill the messenger, maybe Zhao Dongting would really oppose it sternly.

And when he was stunned, Qin Han had already said again: "Guarding Wuzhou, for you and me, is a great achievement." ”

Wan Yanzhang's eyes suddenly shone brightly, as a general, what he needs most is to prove himself with military skills.

It's just that he couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart, because he didn't expect Qin Han to think about all the joints so thoroughly, and even the emperor's temperament and his own thoughts were all in his calculations. This person really deserves to be called a ghost.

He looked at Qin Han with some jealousy in his eyes.

Qin Han didn't even look at him, as if he didn't care what he would think.

After Yan Zhang pondered for a long time, he suddenly said: "I'll go and urge them to build a village." ”

So saying, he hurried to the right side of the wall.

Qin Han was right, he needed this credit too much. Even if he felt that he was being used by Qin Han, he had to do it.

Take Wuzhou and attack Jingjiang, if you block the Guangdong Yuan army again, so that the emperor has enough time to break Ali Hague, this will be a military achievement. At that time, his status in the emperor's heart will definitely be able to rise a few points, and if he can successfully restore the country in the future, it is very likely that their Jurchen clan will really get a place to live. At that time, he will be the benefactor of the entire Jurchens.

On the city wall, Qin Han was still looking into the distance, and whispered to himself, "It should be about to fight......

In Jingjiang Prefecture, Lipu County.

In addition to Guizhou, the capital governor's capital, Jingjiang Prefecture has a total of 11 counties. Among them, there are four wang counties, and Lipu County is one of them.

The county-level areas of the Song Dynasty were divided into ten grades, which were Chi County, Ji County, Ci Chi County, Ci Ji County, Wang County, Jian County, Shang County, Zhong County, Middle Lower County, and Xia County. Although there is a metropolitan governor's mansion on Guangnan West Road, the highest county seat under it is only Wangxian County, which shows the status of Lipu County in the entire Guangnan West Road.

Before the war between the Yuan and Song dynasties, Lipu County was extremely prosperous.

However, at this time, Lipu County was in dire straits, and there was no longer the slightest prosperity.

After nearly ten days of arduous trekking, Ali Hague led more than 80,000 remnants of the army to finally arrive here from Pingnan County. The army has already run out of food, and some soldiers on the way from Pingdanyi to Lipu County have even relied on weeds to satisfy their hunger.

Although many people in Lipu County have already fled, there are still many people in the city who are reluctant to leave their hometowns.

As soon as the Yuan army entered the city, they wreaked havoc in the shops on both sides of the street. Then, it spread to all parts of the city at a rapid pace.

Everywhere there were cries and begs for mercy, as well as the shouting and scolding of the Yuan army.

Hungry to the back, they couldn't even care about the women in the city, and they were busy fighting for food. When you grab it, you put it in your mouth.

Ali Hague led his soldiers to stand on the main street inside the city gate, just looking at this scene coldly, without the slightest expression on his face.

As the governor of Hunan and Guangxi appointed by Kublai Khan, if he can destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, it is impossible to say that this will be his fief in the future. In his heart, he naturally didn't want to completely turn this place into a miserable place, but now that the army was panicked and almost scattered, he had no choice.

The soldiers joined the army to fill their stomachs, and if they couldn't even fill their stomachs, who would be willing to fight for him?

Ali Hague can't afford to lose, so he would rather die on the people of Guangxi South Road than keep his army.

If the people are gone, they can reproduce again, and if the army is gone, it will be troublesome to pull them up again. And it is estimated that if he loses again, he Ali Hague will not live to that time.

However, at this time, a scout suddenly came from behind the army formation to report, "Report to the marshal, there is a military situation in the rear twenty miles!" ”

"Say."

Ali Hague said lightly, his eyes flashing with a thick anger.

These days, the Song army has been chasing after them, only to let them be like lost dogs, which has already made him extremely angry.

The scout said: "The Song army has stretched for more than ten miles, and it has accelerated its march, as if it is about to attack our army. ”

"Humph!"

Ali Hague snorted heavily, and instructed the left and right lieutenant generals: "Lead the army into the city and block the Song army!" ”

He didn't want to run, and he couldn't.

Leaving Lipu County, it will take a lot of time to march to the county seat below. His military rations can't hold it at all, and the military spirit can't hold it either.

Only by fighting the Song army here and waiting for the Guangdong Yuan army, he Ali Hague may still have hope of turning the tables.

The lieutenants hurriedly took the order and left.

Soon, the Yuan army entered the city in a mighty way, hurriedly preparing for the defense.

Ali Hague stood at the head of the city, looking at the noisy dust in the distance with a fierce face. He really didn't expect that his more than 200,000 male troops stationed in Guangxi would be forced into such a situation by the Song army in a short period of time.
