15. Battle of Shanhaiguan
Since then, the Ministry of Industry has been reborn in the hands of Sun Hua, an old minister, and he has been working more and more energetically, until he was seventy-five years old before returning to his hometown.
He did not die until he was 85 years old, during which he also wrote a book called "Regulations of the Ministry of Great Cadres and Workers", which became a book of choice for officials of the Great Cadres and a must-read book for officials of the Ministry of Industry. The martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is full of strength" to praise him!
Of course, that's for later.
However, Sun Hua's reform of the Ministry of Industry has opened the curtain of the reform of the great cadres!
Since then, the great cadres have entered the era of reform, which is known as the "reform of military construction" in history!
……
At this time, the battle in Shanhaiguan was extremely tragic, it can be said to be a sea of corpses and blood, and the blood flowed like a river!
Kublai Khan's Mongol army has been attacking Shanhaiguan for three days and three nights, the corpses in front of Shanhaiguan are piled high, there are Mongols, great cadres, slaves, they are overlapping each other, the ground in front of Shanhaiguan is red with blood, a dark red, a group of vultures flying in the sky, they are coming for the corpses on the bottom, but the two sides are fighting too fiercely, they can only fly far away, watch, a moment close, a moment and fly away.
At this moment, the tragedy of the war can be imagined, but both sides have not retreated, and for their different purposes, both sides are still killing selflessly!
At this time, Shanhaiguan is still so tall and majestic, but many buttresses have been broken, there are many dark red traces on the walls, which are formed by the flow of human blood, and there are many traces of the fire burning, leaving many dark traces. This is the place where the flames of war are filled, and it is also the breath of the baptism of war!
At this time, Zhang Yu, standing in front of a broken battlement, saw that a black iron armor had been slightly broken, and there were many dark red blood stains on it, his face was old, his eyes were red, he was obviously extremely tired, he had not rested for three days and three nights, and he ate the same food and water as the sergeants.
He lost count of the number of times he had come from sending young sergeants to the city, and how many times he had seen the sergeants he had just sent to turn into corpses and carry them down the city.
He stood quietly, looking up at the Mongol camp under the gate, quietly, not knowing what he was thinking?
At this time, Kublai Khan also stood in the Mongolian camp, standing quietly, looking at Shanhaiguan, his face was grim, but he didn't say a word.
At this time, the Mongol army of 100,000 slaves had almost been consumed, and more than 50,000 Mongolian horses were folded in.
To say that Kublai Khan was not distressed is false, but to say how sad it is, it is not!
Kublai Khan, as a Mongol and a hero, grew up on horseback, he was accustomed to seeing life and death, he had seen too many conspiracies, advocating iron and blood, his heart was already as hard as iron, and this casualty was not enough to move him.
What he is worried about is that his army will not be able to attack Shanhaiguan for a long time, and if he can't attack it again, the reinforcements of the cadres will soon arrive, and he will not be able to attack it.
Three days ago, he was still full of confidence that he could capture Shanhaiguan, but after three days, the situation was obviously too variable, and he no longer had much confidence in his heart to be able to capture Shanhaiguan.
Therefore, he was annoyed and angry, and shouted sharply: "Come on, pass on the order of Ben Khan, the whole army will press, Ben Khan will capture Shanhaiguan before evening, this time Ben Khan will supervise the battle!" ”
The people below were ordered to go, Kublai Khan decided to make a desperate bet, and the whole army pressed to see if he could capture Shanhaiguan, and if he couldn't do it, let's talk about it!
……
At this time, Zhang Yu, although he was exhausted, but his mental state was very good, he knew that the time had come to decide the fate of Shanhaiguan, that is, today, as long as he could hold Shanhaiguan today, then tomorrow morning, the reinforcements of the court would arrive, and the Mongols would no longer be able to capture Shanhaiguan.
So, he said in a loud voice: "Soldiers, I will know that you are tired and you are suffering, but we are standing on the Shanhai Pass, and behind us is the Northland, Yanjing, and the entire Daqian. And today is the day that will decide the fate of Shanhaiguan, if we can't hold everything today, but hold on, the reinforcements from the court will arrive tomorrow morning. Warriors, show the last of our courage, the fiercest Mongol attack is coming! ”
"Let's sing the old military song again!"
"Go to the national disaster together.
Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce!
……”
The remnants of the sergeants on the city gate also sang in unison:
"Go to the national disaster together.
Blood will not be shed, death will not be truce!
……”
When Kublai Khan, who was supervising the war, heard this song, he immediately became angry and shouted: "The whole army is pressing!" ”
Suddenly, the whole Mongolian army went up, and a group of people who were pressed by the black pressed came towards Shanhaiguan, like a roaring wave, violently hitting Shanhaiguan!
Shanhaiguan suddenly crumbled, Zhang Yu's face became more and more heavy, and now he had no good way, he could only play in person, hoping to inspire some morale and kill more enemies, in this place where blood and blood, iron and iron compete with each other, any conspiracy and trickery are useless, this place can only be a confrontation between strength and strength, courage and courage!
Suddenly, in this heaven and earth, the blood mist was filled, the swords and guns were staggered, the sound of killing came and went, the people on both sides kept falling and getting up, the corpses continued to accumulate, and the blood flowed down from the city wall into a stream, into the earth, and then into the soil!
The tragedies of the world continue to be staged on this land, leaving only a piece of blood!
But after all, the number of defenders in Shanhaiguan is weak, and they are all exhausted, just with a residual courage to support, as time goes by, they are gradually overwhelmed, and the situation in the city is gradually at a disadvantage!
Zhang Yu saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, the war knife in his hand was swinging faster and faster, but his face was getting heavier and heavier, he didn't care about the injuries on his body, he could only swing the knife hard to alleviate the anxiety in his heart.
Suddenly, he watched his son Zhang Tie rushing towards the city from the city with a force of men and horses, and suddenly his spirits were lifted, and he hurriedly shouted: "Soldiers, our reinforcements have arrived, everyone work hard to drive the Mongols off the city!" ”
At this time, Zhang Yu didn't care where this reinforcement came from or how many people there were, he just wanted to drive the Mongols off the city and hold the Shanhaiguan.
When the defenders at the head of the city heard this, their morale was immediately boosted again, and they forgot their temporary fatigue, threw themselves into the battle, and killed more and more selflessly.
Zhang Tie took this new force and quickly stepped up to the city to join the battle.
Zhang Tie saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around Zhang Yu, and when he saw that Zhang Yu was in danger, he hurriedly led people to squeeze towards Zhang Yu and saved his father.
Zhang Yu let out a long sigh of relief, wiped the blood on his face with his hand, and suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion from his body, after all, he was old and injured again, and he almost collapsed all of a sudden.
Fortunately, Zhang Tie saw the opportunity early, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang Yu, so that Zhang Yu did not make a fool of himself.
It turned out that this new force to join, is located in Shanhaiguan not far from the Qinhuangdao water army, the leader of the army is called Li Yuan, more than a day ago he received the emperor's edict, ordered him to gallop to the aid of Shanhaiguan, he quickly gathered his soldiers, hurried to hurry, just arrived at Shanhaiguan, found that Shanhaiguan was in the middle of a big war, only quickly led his soldiers to join the battle, only to stop the decline of Shanhaiguan, but he only had more than 5,000 people, and he was not an elite man, it seems that it can only inspire a burst of courage, These more than 5,000 people will not make a big difference in such a big war, but it is better than nothing!
And Kublai Khan, who was supervising the war, also discovered this new force, and he was taken aback, thinking that the army of Daqian had arrived, but gradually found that there were only more than 5,000 people, and it was far less elite than the Shanhaiguan defenders, it seemed that it was only a small garrison near Shanhaiguan, Kublai Khan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he also had a vigilance in his heart, so he once again issued a military order to strengthen the intensity of tackling key problems!
Suddenly, Shanhaiguan seemed to be violently hit by the storm, and the Mongols rushed to Shanhaiguan in large areas, regardless of the dead and wounded, they rushed to Guancheng like crazy, the pressure on the defenders on the Guancheng was getting bigger and bigger, and the entire Shanhaiguan was crumbling again, and the danger was repeated!
Zhang Yu looked at all this, and was also anxious, pushed away the personal soldiers who were protecting him, rushed into the battle circle crazy with a big knife, and greeted the Mongolians when he saw them, if he didn't go crazy, he wouldn't survive, and the soldiers under his command saw that the main generals were like this, and their morale suddenly rose again, and they all went crazy to kill the Mongolians, regardless of their injuries, regardless of life and death.
Suddenly, the Mongol offensive was a setback!
At this time, Zhang Yu understood better than anyone that in the absence of any reserve army, it was useless to say more, and only the main general could better stimulate the morale and courage of the soldiers, so he once again ignored the personal play, and sure enough, the Mongol offensive was thwarted again.
The battle is getting more and more intense, the two sides keep fighting for each other in the same place, the other lives and I die, and different soldiers on both sides keep falling, falling, and falling again in the same place!
Rivers of blood, mountains of corpses, both sides tirelessly attacked each other, and gradually, there were fewer and fewer soldiers in the Daqian defenders, and more and more Mongols!
There are less than 10,000 soldiers standing at the head of the city and fighting hard, all of them are wounded, but no one retreats, and no one will retreat, this is a struggle between two political forces of different nationalities and different beliefs.
Zhang Yu couldn't take care of anything at this time, and only fought desperately with the idea that he couldn't let the Mongols break through the Shanhaiguan in battle!
Suddenly, Zhang Tie shouted loudly: "Dad, our reinforcements have arrived!" There was a joy in his voice for the rest of his life!
When Zhang Yu heard this, he hurriedly turned around, only to see a large group of cavalry galloping towards the wall, and only to see a black flag waving in the wind, with only the word "Li" written on it!
