The 50,000-strong army immediately set up camp and set up the village, and Lu Shikui sent his young brave general Naqin and the Song Dynasty general Zhang Jizong with 5,000 cavalry and rushed to the Baiyun Mountain Post Road. Lu Shikui sent people to save people, according to the report of the returning messenger cavalry, Arislan has been wiped out, and it will definitely not be able to be saved.

The two generals of the brave Naqin and the calm Zhang Jizong cooperated with each other, and the main purpose was to open the passage to Guangzhou as soon as possible, so as not to wait for the brigade to be ambushed on the road, which affected the entire plan to attack Guangzhou City.

After Lu Shikui was appointed as the marshal of the leading army of Zhongnan Road, he was invincible all the way to the siege of the city, and was deeply appreciated by Prime Minister Boyan. In front of the Yuan capital, I asked for a reward, and got a golden dagger given by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, which can be said to be a hereditary gold medal for avoiding death, in addition to honor, it is also a guarantee for the future.

These generals of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how they descended the Yuan, actually had a kind of anxiety in their hearts, afraid that once the war ended, these generals would lose their effect and be liquidated. Because of this mentality, there are often ups and downs in the war, and there will be some officials who are demoted today, and the day after tomorrow they turn their faces and return to the Song Dynasty when they see that the situation is not good.

Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, knew that if these generals were not used well, the time for the Yuan soldiers to fully occupy the territory of the Song Dynasty would be greatly extended, and after the occupation, the Mongolian generals would be great laymen in managing the country. Therefore, the leadership method of employing people without doubt and high-ranking officials was adopted, and the Lu clan, which had the highest prestige among the generals of the Yuan Dynasty, was given a very high status, which even many Mongolian generals could not enjoy.

A few months ago, because of problems in the transportation of grain and forage in the north, Lü Shikui, who had already taken the city of Guangzhou, had no choice but to retreat, and the plan to occupy the entire South Guangdong Road in one fell swoop also failed, neither Boyan nor Kublai Khan blamed Lü Shikui, and even Kublai Khan issued an edict to comfort him.

This time, Lu Shikui carefully prepared, and even launched all the dark lines in the ambush in Guangzhou City, which was bound to take Guangzhou City Liwei in one fell swoop, and then pursue Zhang Zhensun's anti-Yuan generals in one fell swoop, completely pacifying the entire Guangzhou area. Then he cooperated with Zhang Hongfan, who came from the southeast, and Zhu Qing, who followed Zhang Shijie from the sea, to annihilate the last and most powerful main force of the Song army, and complete the ambition of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, to unify the entire territory.

This battle is related to the status of the entire Lu family in the officialdom of the future Yuan Dynasty, and his uncle Lu Zhihuan repeatedly emphasized in his personal letter that he must not pay any price, and he must get the military exploits of Zhongnan Road, and he must not fall behind in front of Zhang Hongfan.

But this Arislan, who originally wanted to give him a simple credit, should give the young man his place in the future, who knows why he was so reckless, and easily fell into the trap of the enemy. The loss of these 3,000 cavalry was a small matter, which affected the morale of the large army of the southern invasion, because the current combat force was a mixture of Mongolian and Han, and the Han troops had always thought that the Mongol cavalry was difficult to defeat, and they had always looked down on it and feared it.

Although most of the Song soldiers were troops led by themselves in the past, it had been some time since they surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and even most of them had their hands stained with the blood of their own clan. But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who can guarantee that if he loses the battle, his soldiers will not have someone who cut off his head and ask for merit on the side of the Song army.

On both sides of the post road in Baiyun Mountain, there are rows of wooden sticks one person high, and the heads inserted on the top are of different shapes and flesh and blood, and after cleaning up the battlefield, Zhao Tianyou was the last to leave.

"Those fathers and villagers who died in the city of Tingzhou have spirits in the sky, and I, Zhao Tianyou, sent the first sacrifice today, although I am not the culprit in Tingzhou, but they have also done exactly the same crime in Tingzhou, I hope you are waiting for them at the entrance of hell. Please believe that I will be able to fulfill the promise I made Zhao Tianyou, please be patient! ”

Zhao Tianyou stood at the mountain pass, looked at the chilling battlefield, said his heart out loud to the sky, and then turned around and turned over the big black horse, all the way away.

In the first head-on contact with the Yuan soldiers, Zhao Tianyou took advantage of the time and place, and the results were also very good, and the most important thing was that the Song army under his command saw that the Yuan soldiers who were invincible in the past were not invincible.

More than 30 captives tied to horseback, for the Song army defending the city, it was the first time to see it, and there was also the vanguard general Arislan, but the largest general of the Yuan soldiers captured alive. Ten times the Yuan soldiers have the upper hand, and occasionally when the momentum is not right, the Yuan soldiers withdraw from the battlefield very quickly, and sometimes the cavalry team of hundreds of people but a few dozen people will fail, let alone capture the leading generals alive.

Having received the news brought back by the scouts, Zhang Zhensun's face was flushed with excitement, and he led all the officials early, standing on the tower of the north city gate, looking at Zhao Tianyou who welcomed the return. More than 30 pairs of lion dancers, accompanied by gongs, drums and instruments, performed hard in the small square at the city gate. The people who had slowly gathered to greet the triumphant procession had already set up a long wooden table outside the city gate, which was full of melons, fruits, pears and peaches, as well as sliced braised pork and cold vegetables.

The most attractive thing is that the old people in the major families dug out the old wine jar that had been buried for many years from under their own trees, and the wine jar with wet soil was still there, and after opening it, the mellow aroma of wine overflowed. White porcelain bowls are placed on long tables, waiting for the soldiers who are about to return for a while, and bring the sweetest wine to their mouths.

This time, Zhang Zhensun captured the city of Guangzhou, and it did not have such a great excitement on the confidence of the people, because this time it was the Song army that took the initiative to attack, and what was even more exciting was that they were cavalry. The invincible Mongolian iron cavalry has long become a nightmare for the people of the Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, and the atrocities of slaughtering cities everywhere have turned them into demons walking in the world, which makes people change color.

"Coming, coming, Lord Zhang, General Zhao, they're here." Wang Daofu, who has excellent eyes, is the first to discover the returning horse team.

Zhang Zhensun clenched his fists and arched his hand at the officials on the left and right: "Please accompany Zhang Mou and go out of the city to welcome the returning soldiers, and wash the dust for the soldiers who killed the enemy in blood." ”

"Yes, sir!"

To tell the truth, Zhang Zhensun didn't have much hope when Zhao Tianyou set off, but hoped that although Zhao Tianyou couldn't retreat with his whole body, he couldn't fight all these cavalry, and he would leave a fire for some horses to bring back.

In the eyes of Ling Zhen and other generals, Zhao Tianyou's move is undoubtedly to hit a stone with an egg, taking the lives of ordinary soldiers as a child's play, although he did not ridicule and despise him at the time, but he hoped that Zhao Tianyou would suffer a hardship, and then nod his head in front of the generals in the future.

"Listen to my commands, start, play!"

More than 40 drums rang out, and the lions danced and drummed in unison. Under the gaze of thousands of soldiers and civilians, Arislan bowed his head in despair, dismounted and tied up with more than thirty captives behind him, and walked towards the black crowd with trepidation.
