Chapter 313: The Seed of Failure

Boyan finally chose to end this torture, the belief in Christianity that he should not end his life did not prevent him from ending his own life, when he lost the fruits of his life's struggle, how many can he face correctly?

When Fancheng was broken by the Yuan army, Lu Wenhuan lost the support of each other, coupled with the weak support of the Great Song Dynasty, he opened the city gate and surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty in despair, and Xiangyang, which had resisted for many years, fell into the hands of reinforcements.

At that time, the fall of Xiangyang completely opened the barrier for the Yuan army to go south, and the entire Great Song Dynasty's front against the invasion of the Yuan army followed with a complete collapse.

All this started in Xiangyang and ended in Xiangyang, as soon as Boyan died, the Yuan army in Xiangyang City was immediately divided, and the loss of control of the military strength was extremely terrifying, especially at this life-and-death juncture of internal and external troubles.

There is no need for Chen Longfu to deploy troops to launch an offensive, and the effect of the tactic of only encircling two city gates is evident at this time, and there is a way out from beginning to end, which has a very great impact on the tens of thousands of soldiers in the city.

After Fancheng planted the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, Chen Longfu here couldn't sit still, but suddenly Xiangyang was full of funerals, and it took more than half a day to understand that Boyan was dead. However, Chen Longfu outside the city is wondering, I haven't fired at the city in the past two days, why did Boyan die suddenly, but it's okay now, just to see how long Xiangyang can last.

The Yuan army in the city was calm for three days, and then because of the discussion, it was better to wait for help, or like the Yuan army that escaped from Fancheng, Kaicheng fled and abandoned this doomed Xiangyang City. In fact, the contradictions between their own sides existed before, but under the suppression of Boyan's overall situation, everything was covered up, just like the contradictions between the two Yuan armies in Fancheng, only by relying on stronger or higher goals could the Mongol cavalry move towards a goal.

At that time, Genghis Khan also endured suffering in countless failures and pains, seized the opportunity to grow his strength little by little, integrated the forces of several large tribes step by step, and had the goal of unanimous foreign aggression, and many feuding tribes were able to coexist.

Chen Longfu did not have heavy artillery, and Zhao Tianyou did not mean to transfer the 10,000-jin cannon to Xiangyang, so he had to practice the team outside the city every day, and did not show the real determination to attack the city, but in this way, the mood in the city also fell into a white heat.

One night, because of a very simple trivial matter, the suppressed emotions of the two tribal warriors exploded, and the two directly drew their knives and slashed each other, triggering a large-scale conflict.

Hearing the noise in the city, Chen Longfu was also interested, and ordered to open fire on the defenders in the city, which made the city even more chaotic, and in the end, no one knew why the fight started.

Finally, the first team could not hold back, and rushed through the gates and the two acropolis protections, and thousands of people rode away, leaving behind a mess. When there was a demonstration, the troops of seventy or eighty thousand people rushed to escape from this impregnable city first, even if the Song army did not enter at all.

Early the next morning, the Song people in the city could not see the Yuan army, and after pretending to be brave to wander around, they opened the other city gates, and thousands of people welcomed Chen Longfu into the city, and the same drama of Xiangyang City was recovered.

Why is it no longer like Suizhou, these hundreds of thousands of people fled in all directions after the rout, and they will definitely go to the garrisons of other cities, wouldn't that create trouble for the future recovery.

Many soldiers and generals have never been addicted to killing, so they ran away from these Yuan troops, and their hearts must be full of puzzlement, I don't know what kind of medicine Zhao Tianyou, who formulated this tactic in the early stage, is selling in the gourd.

"General Zhao, you just explain it to them, otherwise these children will fall asleep, organize manual discussions every day, guess the meaning, you see, all of them are red-eyed!"

Du Hu actually wanted to ask in his heart, as the closest person to Zhao Tianyou, he also didn't guess the meaning, and his curiosity was also strange in his heart.

"Hey, think about it, what kind of army will escape?"

Du Hu's eyes puffed up and said: "Of course they are cowardly and scared people, and they will only run away if they want to live!" ”

"It's everyone's nature to be timid and afraid of death, anyone will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, no one will send their necks to the knife, well, there are also, that already desperate Boyan is. Don't forget the Yuan army in Xiangyang, but the veterans who have been fighting for a long time in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty are all ruthless people who have seen life and death, how can they be cowardly and afraid of death?

The military spirit and courage have left them, and the Yuan troops who fled are no longer the ruthless people of the past, they know that they are afraid, they want to live, and these emotions are contagious. The land of Xiangyang is extensive, and they will flee to different places, bringing this fear everywhere, and when they encounter us again in the future, they will also lose their courage. ”

Zhao Tianyou paused and said: "They are seeds, they are the seeds of passing on failure, this is what I want to achieve." ”

"Whew......" Du Hu didn't seem to understand, but Zhao Tianyou said such a big set, even if there was still something he didn't understand, he was already embarrassed to ask again

Kublai Khan was no worse than his grandfather's skills, and from the very beginning of his reign, he knew that killing was not the only thing, and he had to use Han officials and generals to control these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, which was far from being possible with the population of Mongolia itself.

Under the big goal of increasing the number of officials and becoming the king in the future, and everyone can cede the land and become the king if they win, Kublai Khan perfected the use of the mixed Mongolian and Han troops and the art of controlling people, and everyone from top to bottom went towards one goal.

However, the dreams of the past had been shattered outside the city of Guangzhou, and with the several defeats of Boyan, which consumed Kublai Khan's most elite strength in the south, the rebels who continued to kill the Yuan army in various places appeared, and the difficulty of obtaining food supplies for the Yuan army gradually increased.

In the early days, the tactics of relying on burning, killing and looting for supplies had been banned by Kublai Khan, and by this time the homeless and wandering Yuan Dynasty had begun to attack the people along the way.

It's a pity that today is different from the past, the Song people, who were as gentle as sheep in the past, even weak chickens who didn't know how to dodge when the knife was cut down, even dared to resist the rout of the invading Yuan army, and even ambushed in the area where they appeared in advance, killing these elite cavalry with spears and clubs.

It seemed that overnight, the day changed color, the strength of the Song people became greater and greater, and the luck of the Yuan army seemed to have run out, and it was not smooth to go anywhere. Kublai Khan, who had already sent 100,000 troops to support Xiangyang, had gone in the wrong direction, unknowingly moving from Zhengzhou to northern Shaanxi, and when they understood that they had returned, they had already missed the best time to support.

When the whole team of Yuan army support troops appeared dozens of miles north of Fancheng, the Song army in the city got the information, and everyone from Du Hu to ordinary generals immediately cheered, and finally there was a tough battle to fight.
