Chapter 302: Self-defeating

The battle of Suizhou was too tragic, none of the 30,000 yuan army was spared, and not even a single wounded soldier remained, which was the revenge of the Song army against Ji Zhe'an's head, and it was several times more revenge. Governing the country is like settling down a family, if you mix on the same street, you will always be the person with the biggest and most ruthless fist, so that you can stabilize the position of the boss, because in the future, you don't need to show your strength, you can already reach the realm of peace in the world.

Zhao Tianyou is working hard to build an iron army, in addition to the morale that will never be feared, he must go through the test of life and death, blood and fire. The victory that can be obtained just by moving his fingers and lighting the fuse can't give them an understanding of life and death, so Zhao Tianyou uses artillery to take the lead every time, and in the end, he must try two with real knives and guns, no matter how many troops the opponent has left in the end.

The year of Layue is approaching, and the army of the Northern Expedition is stationed in Suizhou City, which can only accommodate 350,000 people, and at the same time nearly 100,000 Song troops are stationed. The materials and food, military clothing, equipment, weapons, bows and arrows stored by the Yuan army in Suizhou were of little significance to this well-equipped Song army, and they could only distribute these weapons to them when they set up local teams.

However, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep are the best food in this season, stewed meat and barbecue are the best New Year's food in this era, and the soju is not very high, which is an accelerant for celebrating the Spring Festival. It is not only the cavalry of the Yuan army that is good at drinking, but the soldiers of the Song army are also good at drinking, and when there is no task, drinking a few glasses of wine with three or five robes may be the only way to entertain in this Suizhou City.

"General Zhao, it's been twenty-eight years this year, and there is some good news!"

Zhang Longfu smiled slightly, holding two urgent military intelligence reports in his hands, and handed them to Zhao Tianyou, who was chatting around the stove, and Du Hu next to him also leaned over his head and asked.

"What's the matter, seeing you so happy, is it ......?"

"Hey, it's a good thing, the Yiyang Yuan army abandoned the city and fled, but after they fled to Changde, they found that the Yuan army in Changde had also packed their luggage, so the two teams of Yuan troops withdrew to Xiangyang together. Heck, the two cities have too few troops, only more than 5,000 people together, but they are smart enough.

If they don't escape, I dare not say that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Han people in the city will be able to turn back, so that they will not even have a chance to leave. What does this mean? Generals, the soldiers of the Yuan Army are also people, and those who bully the honest are afraid of the hard, and now they have begun to fear us! ”

"Haha, Lao Du, what you said is so right, in the past, the Song army was weak when they saw the Mongolian cavalry, and they wanted to turn around and run away immediately, how could they fight like that? It can be different, the small Yuan army has no courage to defend at all, even if we don't attack, they don't dare to stay for a moment, this is from the heart of the fear of us! ”

Yiyang Changde soldiers returned to the hands of the Song army without blood, and there are two important cities in Jingzhou and Jingmen in the south of Xiangyang, especially Jingmen is the southern gate of Xiangyang, once Xiangyang is lost, it will immediately fall into passivity.

Xiangyang was held in the hands of Lu Wende for six years, as the southwest gate of the Southern Song Dynasty, and finally let the defenders fall into a situation of no grain and grass, which was also one of the major failures in the Zhao Dynasty's anti-Yuan war.

If Lü Wende had made a big mistake at that time, he would have allowed the Mongol army to set up a field outside Fancheng. So the Mongol army quickly entered and built a fortress, and suddenly cut off the grain route in Xiangyang. When Lu Wende came to his senses and knew that he had made a mistake, he was angry and anxious and couldn't afford to get sick.

Kublai Khan decided to seize Xiangyang at all costs, and troops from all over the country continued to march to Xiangyang, and the Yuan army besieging Xiangyang increased to 200,000 in just one year. However, the combat effectiveness of the Lu brothers should not be underestimated, they have been operating in the Xiangyang area for more than ten years, and their prestige and deep popularity have created a strong city around Xiangyang.

However, after Lü Wende died of illness, Lü Wenhuan could not get the support that the Song Dynasty court should have, and gradually fell into passivity in Xiangyang, until the Yuan army broke through Fancheng, Lü Wenhuan, who had no food and grass supply, moved the city and surrendered.

However, Xiangyang is no longer the world of Lü style, and Lü Shikui's whereabouts are unknown after being seriously injured, Lü Wenhuan followed Boyan to Lin'an, and then followed Caoliang north to the capital of Yuan, and became an official in front of Kublai Khan. At present, only Lu Wenhuan's son Lu Shisheng is leading the army in Xiangyang, but he is already a light and nothing to feed Yan, relying on his father's prestige to be a worry-free official.

Ali Hague stayed in Xiangyang for several years, turning it into a more important military location, not only guarding the middle Jiangnan Road, but also restricting the passage to the west into Shu. However, most of the strength they have managed has been reimbursed in front of Guangzhou City, and they have also taken the lives of Ali Hague and Ah Shu.

Although Boyan is still in Xiangyang, he is already very sick, and he has fallen out of favor in Kublai Khan's heart, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a chance to turn over. But at this time, there was no general in Xiangyang who could suppress the scene, and at this time there were still more than 100,000 soldiers, but it was an army composed of people and horses from all walks of life, far from the strength of the elite cavalry taken away by Ah Shu.

After the Spring Festival, the morale of the Song army was high, and Zhao Tianyou sat in Suizhou, and his prestige after cutting off his head and establishing his prestige shook all directions. The momentum of the Song army's counteroffensive was too strong, and after receiving Yiyang Changde, its influence first extended to Jingmen.

After the integration of the local rebel army from Yueyang, a warrior named Liang Tie appeared, leading his patchwork township army, and he was alone in the Jingmen attack.

They were originally powerful people, and after putting down their swords and guns, no one recognized their identities, and they relied on walking close to Jingmen, and the hundreds of township troops who were divided into pieces actually touched the home of the local governor of Jingmen.

Relying on the kitchen knife stolen from the kitchen overnight, he hacked Taishou to death and killed the commander of the Yuan army stationed in Jingzhou, Liang Tie won the support of the people in the city as soon as he shouted the slogan, followed him to pick up the knife and gun, and fought a bloody battle with the Yuan army in Jingzhou City.

When these news reached the ears of the Song army, Jingmen had been occupied by Liang Tie, but it was a big surprise, and after careful inquiry, it was only then that he knew that he was a righteous army of more than 300 people, and it was with blood and courage that he defeated the 7,000 Yuan army in the city.

"We can't wait any longer, if we wait any longer, the people have finished their work, so what's the use of us soldiers?" Chen Longfu was a little worried, Zhao Tianyou had a very leisurely year this year, and the big guys also followed suit, and lived a good life of freedom and ease.

But the time of the army in Xiangyang is not proposed, and these generals can't hold their breath, especially the people under Chen Longfu, who have long been holding back their strength to make military achievements.

"Don't worry, wait for Jingzhou to break itself, let's go to Xiangyang again!"
