The development of history is still moving forward little by little according to his established laws, and there has not been the slightest change. And Zhao Tianyou, who is on Dongshan Island, sent more than 2,000 thunderbolts, which is equivalent to the first flap of wings of the butterfly effect, whether it can cause a hurricane or not, in the end, it also comes down to the choice of another person.

Wen Tianxiang's determination to send troops to Changzhou was not made in the end, and he still chose to be a good official who was loyal to the monarch and obeyed orders, the main official of the main battle faction, and he could not send the handle of disrespecting the holy order to his political enemies. But there is nothing wrong with this choice, first of all, the few thousand remaining Gan troops in Pingjiang Mansion were preserved, and they followed him all the way north from Ganzhou to King Qin, which was also an important force to support him to continue to resist the Yuan.

No matter how powerful Zhao Tianyou's thunderstorm was, how could Pingjiang Mansion defeat the 200,000 troops led by Boyan? In the era dominated by cold weapons, a large number of people can indeed form an absolute advantage, and it is an advantage that you can't shake no matter how powerful you are.

After the city was broken by the army led by Boyan, the battle did not stop, and a desperate melee battle was launched around a wall and a courtyard. Yao Ting is indeed a rare talent, although Changzhou only held on for a few months, it is not as good as Lu Zhihuan's five years of holding on to Xiangyang, and Diaoyu City's achievements in holding on to the enemy for more than ten years.

But those cities were all achieved with sufficient troops, and the continuous support of the country's money and food resources was achieved, and Lu Zhihuan's reduction to the yuan was also because there was no grain and grass support in the later period, so he really couldn't hold on. And Changzhou Yao Ting's soldiers are only thousands, and the young and strong rebels in the city are no more than 20,000, and they have no combat experience at all. In this case, blocking the countless attacks of Boyan's 200,000 troops, the city wall was broken and there was no masonry, so it could only be filled with a wooden fence, which showed the tragic situation at that time.

Boyan ordered the slaughter of the city, but the battle never stopped from the time the city was broken, and not a single soldier surrendered from beginning to end. Changzhou Zhizhou Yao listened to the battle until he was exhausted, his arms were so tired that he couldn't lift his sword, and he jumped into the sea of fire and was martyred.

The rest of the generals led the soldiers and civilians in the city to continue to fight until the last soldier, and the generals who regarded death as if they were at home engraved their names on the history books. Chen Zhao, Hu Yingyan and Bao Gui led the volunteers to fight to the death and did not retreat, and some volunteers told Chen Shao that the east gate of the city was still in the hands of Liu Shiyong, and everyone could flee for their lives when they reached the east gate.

Chen Zhao plunged his knife into the ground in front of him, and swore to his subordinates: "This step away is not a place of death." In the end, he killed several Yuan soldiers and died heroically.

Bao Gui led the righteous army to fight in the streets, was caught in the thigh by the flying rope, and was captured before he had time to swing his knife and commit suicide, and was escorted by the Yuan soldiers to Boyan's Chinese army tent. Bao Gui scolded Boyan with a smile, hated to eat his flesh and drink his blood, Boyan wanted to see a general who could surrender, but he didn't expect to be scolded, so he ordered Bao Gui to be hacked to death with a knife.

Hu Yingyan alone blocked dozens of Yuan soldiers, killing countless enemies with eight snake spears in his hands, and the corpses of several Yuan army generals lying in front of him, and finally he was captured with all his strength.

The marshal of the soldiers instigated the horses to come to the front of the battle, and in the face of the big tie-up of the five flowers, Hu Yingyan was a little unconvinced, it was several brave subordinates who were killed by this person, and stepped forward to ask Hu Yingyan: "Are these warriors of mine all killed by you?" ”

Hu Yingyan replied without changing his face: "I still want to kill you, I just hate that you didn't come to fight me, otherwise I would have picked you with one shot." Hu Yingyan was tied up and died under the knife of Shuai, and his body stood for a long time, and the frightened Yuan soldiers did not dare to step forward.

Wang Anjie, who was both civil and military, bravely killed the enemy with two swords, and there were one hundred and ten righteous soldiers around him to fight with the Yuan soldiers, and there were only more than 20 people left around him in the end, all of them were wounded. Before moving to the state school, Wang Anjie was slashed in the right arm, leaving only his left arm to wield a knife, and he still killed people like grass mustard in the Yuan soldiers.

Yuan Bing slashed his left leg and couldn't stand upright, he bent his legs and continued to fight to the death until all the rebels around him were killed, and after exhaustion, he tripped over the corpse of Yuan Bing and was captured. Boyan had been watching the battle from a distance, and admired Wang Anjie's loyalty and courage very much, persuading him to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty and allowing him the position of general.

Wang Anjie spurted blood and shouted loudly: "I am the son of Wang Jian, who is sticking to Hezhou, my ancestors are all loyal and brave, the Wang family only has the truth of dying in battle, how can there be a generation of surrender." ”

Annoyed and angry, after Boyan killed Wang Anjie, he ordered the Yuan soldiers to slaughter the city.

There were more than 5,000 Song soldiers in the city of Changzhou, more than 20,000 righteous soldiers and people in the city, and when the city was broken and the chaos was fighting, a large part of the people fled, and the corpses of the people who were killed and killed in the city were lying all over the streets and alleys. In the end, there were more than 400 women and children left in Changzhou City, and the city was full of corpses lying on the ground, and the tragic situation was indescribable.

The slaughter of cities was a common thing in the early expansion of the Mongols, and when the cities that were defended and resisted were broken by the Yuan army, they would inevitably be looted and slaughtered, but the severity was different. The heavier ones had no living mouth in the whole city, not even a single live animal or poultry left, and the lighter ones had to kill all the soldiers who resisted, and rob them of their possessions and beautiful women.

Since Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, ascended the throne, widely reused the Wenchen of the Han nationality, learned Han culture, and then invaded the Song Dynasty at the beginning of the war, it has been strictly ordered not to slaughter the city easily. However, in Changzhou, Boyan gave an order to slaughter the city, and more than 10,000 corpses and bones in the city were deeply engraved in history, and their descendants commented.

After the city of Changzhou was broken, the two cities of Pingjiang and Lin'an faced the army of Boyan, there was no danger to defend and no soldiers to refuse, and the lord and faction once again had the upper hand, because this time it was the queen mother who spoke. In the siege, there were no reinforcements on the left and right, and there were no natural dangers to defend.

In the complete despair of being unable to return to heaven, the Empress Dowager Song decided not to resist anymore and let go of the country to avoid the recreation and killing of living beings. Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie's plan to defend Lin'an to the death was stillborn, and after the 2,000 thunderbolts were transferred to Lin'an, they were sealed away again, losing the opportunity to show their faces.

When Lin'an in the north was ready to open the city gate to negotiate with the Yuan army, the people on Dongshan Island had just finished the New Year and were still immersed in a peaceful and happy day. However, in the temporarily restored ancestral hall of the clan on the island, the elders of the Meng family and Zhao Tianyou sat around the table to discuss the plan for the future.

The money in Meng's fishing village was completely depleted, that is, because of the preparation for the New Year, it was more sufficient to go out to purchase, otherwise after eating the dumplings for the New Year, everyone should be hungry. Most of the rice harvested last year had seeds left, and the food available for consumption was only ten days, which was a time that the old people of the Meng family had never encountered.

However, all they discussed was the idea of borrowing money, selling those brand-new armaments, making a good thunderstorm, and even going out to rob a merchant ship by posing as a pirate, and so on, and no one could convince anyone.

Mencius, who had a completely white beard, sat in the middle, and today he spoke relatively little, and he was not very serious when he listened. Because he knows that Zhao Jiaotou has already made a plan to let all of you speak, but it is because of the Chinese New Year, to give you some face and liven up the atmosphere.
