Chapter 445: Defeat is like a mountain

On the sixteenth day of the first month of the tenth year of Xianchun, the Duke of Wei and the governor of the world's soldiers and horses, Jia Nidao, led an army of nearly 150,000 to set off from the capital and went to Chizhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan East Road, intending to resist the Mongol army in the area of Dingjiazhou, Tongling County, under the jurisdiction of Chizhou.

Jia Rudao took Sun Huchen as the vanguard under the command of the guards and infantry divisions, led an army of 70,000 to Dingjiazhou, and he led an army of nearly 80,000 and was stationed in Lugang.

What makes people feel incredible is that Sun Huchen, who is the commander of the former army, actually took his concubine all the way with him on this expedition, which can be described as a miracle.

The Mongolian army led by Ah Shu has occupied Huangzhou, Qizhou, Jiangzhou and Anqing at this moment, forming a trend of encirclement of Jiangnan East Road, and learned that the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Jia Rudao, led a large army to conquer and resist, Ah Shu urgently ordered nearly 200,000 troops under his command to attack and advance towards the Chizhou area, and must completely defeat the Song army in the Chizhou area.

Geographically, the war has not yet begun, and Jia Rudao is already at an absolute disadvantage.

Luzhou in the west of the scout has long been occupied by the Mongol army, Jiankang Mansion and Taiping Prefecture in the east are also basically controlled by the Mongol army, and Anqing Mansion and other places in the west are also the sphere of influence of the Mongol army, only Ningguofu and Huizhou in the south are still under the control of the Great Song Dynasty.

Chizhou is surrounded on three sides, and I don't know why Jia Yidao chose to fight here in Dingjiazhou.

Dingjiazhou and Lugang are both on the edge of the Yangtze River, and perhaps Jia Rudao thought that as long as the Mongol army was defeated here, the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Yuan Dynasty could still maintain the situation of dividing the river and ruling the river.

On the other hand, the commander of the Mongolian army, Ashu, was fully prepared, while mobilizing the front army under his command to Chizhou, Ashu strengthened the control of Ezhou, Huangzhou, Qizhou, Anqing and Jiankangfu and other places, and ordered the Mongolian soldiers stationed in the garrison to firmly control the city, not to give the Song army the slightest opportunity, has occupied Shaozhou's deputy marshal Ali Hague, his troops began to extend towards the Guangnan Road, on the one hand, completely cut off the road of the Great Song Dynasty to the retreat of Kaifeng Fucheng, on the other hand, completely surround the Great Song Dynasty.

At the end of the first month, Wu Shaogang, who arrived in Suzhou, obtained detailed information from the Intelligence Bureau.

At this moment, the 200,000 troops have all secretly assembled around Fuli County, which is under the jurisdiction of Suzhou.

The dispatch of 200,000 troops shows that Wu Shaogang also did his best, and the army under the Wei Wangfu who stayed in Henan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi and Shanxi and other places was only about 70,000 people.

Suzhou Prefecture City, official post.

"Bang...

The sound of the teacup breaking came, and Wu Shaogang's face was already full of anger.

Hao Jing, Liu Bingzhong, Zhang Wenqian and others, who followed Wu Shaogang on the expedition, did not look very good.

"I originally thought that there was enough time, at least Jia Rudao led an army of more than 100,000 people, and he could resist the Mongol army for at least half a year, but now it seems that our prediction has been disappointed."

"Jia Rudao relies on the Yangtze River to prevent the attack of the Mongol army, such a defensive strategy, placed two years ago is completely feasible, now it is looking for death, under the siege on three sides, how can there be any hope of victory, Jia Rudao has placed more than 100,000 troops in the most dangerous area, this battle Ah Shu will definitely win a big victory."

"It's also the exhaustion of the Great Song Dynasty."

Speaking of this, Wu Shaogang let out a long sigh.

Hao Jing calmed down and spoke.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, at this time, the army should be dispatched as soon as possible, quickly occupy Xuzhou and Suqian and other cities, and then control the entire Xuzhou and Pizhou, and then attack Haizhou, the army led by Ashu has been assembled towards Chizhou, and its focus is completely concentrated on the Chizhou area, and it is too late to take care of these places. . . ."

Wu Shaogang nodded and spoke to Yuan Shichun beside him.

"The intelligence department will focus its main attention on the Chizhou area, fully grasp the progress of the war in Dingjiazhou and Lugang, from now on, we must report the relevant war reports every day, I estimate that in about two months at most, Jia Yidao will definitely be defeated, and these two months are very important for us."

"Cai Siwei, you lead an army of 50,000 to take Xuzhou and occupy all the cities within a month, Zhang Binghui, you lead an army of 100,000 to take Pizhou and occupy all the cities within a month."

"At the end of March, the army must occupy Xuzhou, Pizhou, Haizhou, Tengzhou, and Yizhou, build a strong defensive line there, stop the Mongol army in the north, and defeat the Mongol attack in the south."

Dadu and Chizhou, which are more than 1,000 miles away from Suzhou, Kublai Khan and Ah Shu would never have imagined that a major battle had been quietly rolled out, and this battle would have a decisive impact on the Great Yuan Dynasty.

On February 15 of the tenth year of Xianchun, the 200,000 army led by Ah Shu arrived in Wuwei County and began to attack and advance towards the area of Dingjiazhou, which was less than 100 miles away from Dingjiazhou.

On 17 February, the army led by Ah Shu arrived at the position opposite Dingjiazhou.

A Yangtze River lies across it, and the 70,000 army led by Sun Huchen has more than 1,500 warships, which are lined up on the river, looking majestic, and Jia Nidao, who is stationed in Lugang, leads an army of 80,000 and also has more than 1,000 warships, which are arranged on the river.

Hearing the news that the Mongolian army had arrived, Sun Huchen had just gotten up from the belly of the concubine.

Ah Shu didn't give Sun Huchen the slightest time, and when he arrived, he immediately started attacking.

Ashu's attack is atmospheric and heroic, hundreds of warships, began to charge towards the opposite side, standing on the shore of the Huihui cannon, towards the Song army warships in the south of the Yangtze River throwing boulders, the battle just began, the power of the Huihui cannon was brought into play, huge stones flew all over the sky, huge waves appeared on the river, some warships were hit by boulders, the soldiers on the ship were forced to abandon the ship and jump into the river, unable to resist the Mongolian warships that had begun to charge.

In less than half an hour, the Mongolian warships had broken through the defense line of the Song army's naval division.

More Mongol warships, carrying Mongol sergeants, charged towards the Song army.

Sun Huchen, who commanded the battle, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately issued an order to retreat on all fronts.

The Song Army's naval division began to start, went down the river, and withdrew in the direction of Lugang.

How could Ah Shu give the Song army a chance to evacuate easily, he ordered the Mongolian iron cavalry to attack the Song army's warships along the river, and hundreds of Mongolian warships were closely pursued behind.

A battle against the Mongol army, which Jia Rudao had carefully prepared, failed before it even had time to begin.

The sergeants of the Song army, who were surrounded by the Mongolian army and had no time to evacuate, chose to surrender one after another.

The warships of the Song army that were able to evacuate under land and water attack were only a very small part.

Sun Huchen, the commander of the former army who desperately fled, where could he manage so much at the moment, so he thought about saving his life, he took his concubine and took a clipper in the direction of Lugang, regardless of the 70,000 troops under his command.

Both sides of the Yangtze River were occupied by the Mongol army led by Ashu, and there were also Mongolian warships in the river pursuing.

Song Junshui only hated his parents for having a pair of legs and desperately escaped.

。。。

When Sun Huchen's fast boat arrived in Lugang and reported that the Mongolian army had hundreds of thousands of troops pressed over and could not resist at all, Jia Nidao, who was panicked, made the most low-level mistake, and when the war had not yet begun, he withdrew his troops and asked the army to withdraw from the whole line.

It is important to know that the immediate evacuation is the biggest taboo, which will completely destroy one's morale, and an unplanned full-scale retreat is likely to eventually turn into a large-scale rout.

At this moment, Jia Rudao is very smart, after giving the order to evacuate the whole line, he no longer takes a warship, but desperately evacuates from the direction of Changzhou by land.

The sergeants of the Song Army on the warship, naturally, would not be on the ship, but went to the land one after another and began a large-scale evacuation, hoping to save their lives.

In less than half an hour, the 80,000-strong army without command was all in chaos.

The sergeants of the Song army who escaped from Dingjiazhou to Lugang by luck thought that they could be received by the army, but who knew that what they saw was an empty warship, and they didn't see the responding army at all, these sergeants collapsed instantly, and they didn't know who spoke, saying that it was better to surrender to the Mongolian army, this sentence spread as quickly as a virus, and became the choice of most sergeants.

The Mongol sergeants who pursued and killed to Lugang accepted the surrender of these Song troops.

Ah Shu's order arrived immediately, not to let go of the Song army, and to pursue along the land route.

At this time, the Mongol iron cavalry began to exert their might, and they began to pursue the Song army along the official road.

The sergeant of the Song army, who evacuated on his legs, naturally could not be so fast, and under the premise of no command, the retreat actually became a rout and escape, resulting in an even slower speed.

The Mongol cavalry soon caught up with the fleeing Song army, and an unusually large-scale slaughter began.

Most of the Song sergeants chose to surrender.

The Mongolian sergeant set out from Lugang, and the distance he pursued and killed reached 150 miles.

In the battle of Dingjiazhou, the nearly 150,000 army led by Jia Rudao was almost wiped out, and since then, the imperial court has no army that can be dispatched.

In other words, unless it was Wu Shaogang, the king of Wei, who made a move, the Great Song Dynasty could only be destroyed by the Great Yuan Dynasty before his eyes.

The news of the battle of Dingjiazhou soon spread to the capital Lin'an.

The capital is in complete chaos.

Ningguo Mansion has been occupied by the Mongol army, the capital city of Xuancheng is less than 500 miles away from the capital, if the Mongol army is full of strength and attacks in the direction of the capital, within ten days, the capital will fall.

Some of the civil and military ministers of the DPRK have already begun to grease the soles of their shoes.

Empress Dowager Xie had no choice but to come forward to stabilize the situation, and said that she would severely punish the Duke of Wei who failed in the battle.

But even if Empress Dowager Xie came forward, there were still many ministers of civil and military affairs who chose to flee from Lin'an City.
