Chengdu Mansion is Huai'an Army and Tongchuan Mansion in the east, Longzhou, Jianzhou, Zizhou in the south, and the west is directly connected to Tubo, since Li Bing built Dujiangyan in the pre-Qin period, Chengdu is famous in the world as "the country of abundance", and now it is also the center of Chengdu Mansion Road and the entire Sichuan and Shu.

Since the Mongols conquered Chengdu Mansion, this place has become the foundation of Mongolia's southward attack on the entire Xichuan, especially Meng Ge's hatred of Diaoyu City, which has been operated by Liu Heima and Liu Yuanzhen father and son, so many years, Chengdu Mansion has become an impregnable fortress.

The tall gates stand in the warm wind of late spring in April, and the black flags on the gates dance in the wind, and the Mongol soldiers can be seen walking back and forth on a hillside outside the city. In front of each gate, there is a moat around it, and there are protruding horse faces on both sides of the gate, so that the enemies who rush under the gate form cross-arrows.

"After many years, when I abandoned Chengdu Mansion, I never thought that one day I would come back." Zhang Juelema stopped on a small hillside outside the city, his eyes blazing with a cold chill, and cast himself at the lofty Chengdu Mansion City in the distance.

"We never thought that this Mongolian Tatar occupied Chengdu Mansion, although it was to attack Jiading and Hezhou, but in fact, they did not repair the Chengdu City itself, so that the Chengdu City in front of us is much stronger than it was at the beginning." Shi Xunzhong stood beside Zhang Jue and couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Jue glanced at him and didn't say anything, after all, if he said that he was brave and good at fighting, I am afraid that no one could compare to Shi Xunzhong, so Shi Xunzhong's words were not afraid, but really from the bottom of his heart.

After all, if Shi Xunzhong is timid, then I am afraid that there will be no good men in the Sichuan and Shu army.

"Have you ever come to General Gao and Governor Wang?" Zhang Jue asked softly.

"The old man is not the kind of person who waits for the robe." A hearty laugh came from behind him, and Gundam pressed his saber in his hand, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

It's just that when Zhang Jue and Shi Xunzhong looked at him, they still found that the old general's cheeks were a little flushed, and even his breath was not very even, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, this old general who is dominant, vertical and horizontal, is still not young after all, and if he wants to have the opportunity to cross the battlefield in the future, I am afraid that it will become smaller and smaller, His Royal Highness King Ming wants to be a person who cherishes talents, even if the old general has the ambition of Lian Po and Zhao Yun, it is impossible for him to put on armor and go into battle.

Sensing the gloomy look flashing in Zhang Jue and Shi Xunzhong's eyes, Gao Gao's footsteps paused slightly, and then he left these behind, pointed to the Chengdu Mansion in front and said: "Junyu (Zhang Jue's cousin) virtuous brother, the most important thing in the entire Sichuan and Shu is Chengdu Mansion and Tongchuan Mansion, and now the entire Tongchuan Mansion has been restrained by the Shence Army, and what remains in front of us is this lonely Chengdu Mansion. ”

"Take it." Zhang Jue gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

Gundam nodded and looked at the city walls, where a figure stood up, waving a white flag and shouting to the city. A moment later, a sentry rider came to the dust, rushed in front of Gundam and Zhang Jue in three steps and two steps, and jumped off the horse:

"Qi Yu two generals, the Mongolian Tatars in the city call themselves Liu Yuanzhen, the military and civilian envoy of Chengdu Prefecture, and want to answer with the two generals."

"Liu Yuanzhen?" Zhang Jue frowned slightly, "This Liu Yuanzhen has already reached this juncture, but he wants to answer with us?" ”

"What's the nonsense, the two generals gave an order, and the brothers are still afraid that this Chengdu Mansion will not succeed?" Shi Xunzhong suddenly held down the saber and said loudly, looking at Chengdu Fucheng with a disdainful look. It turned out that the brothers had never been afraid of this Mongolian Tartar, not to mention that there were now firearms of the same class as the Flying Thunder Cannon.

Glancing at Zhang Jue, a smile swept up at the corner of Gundam's mouth: "Don't panic, let's take a look at what medicine can be sold in this Liu Yuanzhen's gourd, now the entire Chengdu Mansion has been surrounded by my Sichuan and Shu army, and the surrounding Jianzhou and Suizhou are already under our control, even if Liu Yuanzhen wants to take the opportunity to break through, it is just wishful thinking, is it possible that he still thinks that Liu Cheng can get rid of the Shence army at this time?" ”

"Qiqi two generals, the prefect of the king has rushed over from the rear army." A herald stepped forward quickly.

"It's just right, Xu Fan (Wang Shichang's cousin) is brave and strategic, since a few of us can't make up our minds, let's not ask Xu Fan what his opinion is." Zhang Jue said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's go to the city for a while, meet this Liu Yuanzhen for a while, and see what kind of trick you want to play with us at this time." ”

Seeing that Zhang Jue had already decided, Shi Xunzhong didn't say anything, just guarded behind Zhang Jue tightly with his saber, and from time to time looked at Chengdu Mansion in the distance.

"Has there been no movement in Sichuan, Shu, Xuzhou, and Kuizhou?" Ma Yan paced back and forth in the council hall with some uneasiness, and several subordinate commanders standing beside him shook their heads helplessly, obviously their sentry cavalry did not have no contact with the north, but it was true that the Sichuan and Shu army had not yet made a move on Dali's side.

Li Fu put down the teacup and said lightly: "General Ma Lao doesn't have to worry, after all, for the two generals of the Sichuan and Shu Army, Zhang and Gao, recovering Chengdu Mansion is the top priority. ”

"The old man is not worried about the Sichuan Shu army and the two appeasements, after all, the ability of the two generals Gao and Zhang is really learned." Ma Yan shook his head and still couldn't hide his anxious expression, "What the old man is worried about now is whether it will make the Mongolian Tartars notice anything once it drags on for a long time, the soldiers are very fast, and now our sentinels have gone deep into the self-defeat, and they are about to touch the door of the Mongolian Tartars, but if there is no movement here, if the Mongolian Tartars find an abnormality, the soldiers will enter the army and lock up the shortcut of Luxi, and it will not be so simple to kill Dali at that time." ”

Li Fu also stood up, his eyes did not leave the map on the wall: "Old general, you and my most powerful subordinates have been sent out, with the skills of Lou Chan and Yang Yuhou of the Xuanwu Army, presumably even if there is any accident, they can be pressed down, these two may bring us some surprises, the old general is still optimistic." ”

After all, attacking Dali from Ziqi Luxi is a shortcut that is likely to be ignored, so Ma Yan and Li Fu set this road as the first choice when finalizing the route of the army, in order to find out the news of Ziqi, but also sent Lou Yong and Yang Ting out together, that is, I hope that the two people who will definitely lead the army into Dali in the future can give the most reasonable and suitable advice, and send two generals, it is also to seek a foolproof.

In fact, Li Fu is also helpless, after all, this is facing Dali, not other Song Mengzhou capital, after all, those in the hinterland of the Central Plains have often been infiltrated by Jinyiwei, even if it is difficult to cooperate with the outside, when the time comes, it is still possible to pass some news in the city, now for this Dali, even if it is the old general of Ma Yan is half-understood, Li Fu is even more blind, do not send some reliable people to sentry, it is equivalent to pushing these tens of thousands of children into the fire pit.

At this time, it is also worth killing chickens with a knife.

Just as there was silence in the council room, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Report!" A soldier rushed in quickly, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall almost instantly, "Self-deprecating news, please read it to the two generals." ”

Ma Yan and Li Fu both took a breath of cool air and said Cao Cao Cao arrived, and everything in the world is sometimes so mysterious. At that moment, Ma Yan stepped forward to pick up the envelope, and his own guards handed over the dagger to the fire paint, and the letter slipped out, with only a few lines on it, but when he recognized that it was the most familiar Lou Yong's handwriting, Ma Yan exhaled softly, closed his eyes and handed the letter to Li Fu.

Rao is a person like Li Fu who has always been calm, after seeing the letter, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and sighed: "These two guys have the ability to sneak directly into the Shanyan Mansion, it is really bold." ”

Ma Yan walked quickly to the map, stretched out his hand and knocked heavily on the good explanation mansion.

"This road, with or without Mongolian Tartars, kill it." Li Fu clenched his fists.

At this moment, a herald strode over: "Qi two generals, news from His Royal Highness King Ming of Jinling." ”

"Oh?" Ma Yan and Li Fu were slightly stunned.

——————————————————-

"Chengdu has to be taken within a week." Wang Shichang looked at Zhang Jue and Gao Gao who were coming quickly, and said in a low voice, "I just received the news from the south, within two to three weeks, the Xuanwu Army and the Yongzhou Army on Guangnan West Road are very likely to make a move on Dali, before that, we must at least put on a posture of attacking Dali, and now the various departments of Sichuan and Shu are integrated outside the capital, and if you want to go south, it will take at least four to five days to repair and dispatch, and there is not much time left for us." ”

"I'm afraid that Liu Yuanzhen has also noticed something," Zhang Jue suddenly frowned, "It is also expected that His Royal Highness will attack Dali first, after all, since the fall of Dali, not only must we have heavy troops on Guangnan West Road, including every time we go north, we also have to consider the problem of the back road, and it makes sense to pull out this nail first." ”

Gao nodded and looked at the busy soldiers and Chengdu Mansion: "Liu Yuanzhen can inherit his father's mantle, and naturally he is not such a stupid person, we can see this reason, of course he can understand it, but for him now, it is difficult to protect himself, and wanting to rescue Dali is tantamount to wishful thinking, he can only delay with the only chips in his hand, and he can delay it day by day." ”

"So, we're going to be disrespectful this time." A sneer flashed at the corner of Zhang Jue's mouth, "There is nothing more to say about dealing with Liu Yuanzhen, come on!" ”

"The last general!" Shi Xunzhong and others bowed at the same time.

"Command the ministries to prepare for the siege!" Zhang Jue held down the sword and said loudly.

The big drums of the Chinese army suddenly roared, and rows of Sichuan and Shu soldiers drove out of the camp, huge ballistas and trebuchets walked in the front, followed by shields like moving city walls, and spears pointed at the sky in unison, like undulating waves.

The red flag was waving in the wind, and a golden word "Ming" seemed to be deeply engraved on everyone's chest.

"Da Ming!" Shi Xunzhong walked in the front and shouted in a low voice.

"Da Ming!" Countless Dutou and Marquis Yu replied to their commander with the same shout.

"Da Ming! Da Ming! One arm proudly raised into the air, and all the Ming soldiers proudly looked at Chengdu City which was getting closer and closer, as if this flag was in front of them, and they could be indestructible.

Zhang Jue nodded, and walked side by side with Gundam to the nest car that had been built. Although the Southern Song Dynasty has been on the defensive in Sichuan and Shu for so many years, because of the easy to defend and difficult to attack and see-saw of the mountain cities everywhere, all kinds of siege equipment are not less prepared than the city defense equipment, so that they can be snatched back as soon as possible after a mountain city is lost.

The ballistas and catapults stopped some distance from the city gates, and the brigade's foot soldiers lined up in front of the remote equipment, and the ladder carts began to move forward slowly.

"Let the Flying Thunder Cannon prepare." Gundam Langsheng ordered.

More than 100 cavalrymen rode out of the camp, and were tightly wrapped in the carriage in the middle of the guard by their regiments, and the soldiers who looked at these carriages around were clearly eager and trusting in their eyes, after all, the power of the flying thunder cannon in the previous battle had convinced them, and also let them know that with such firearms, they would not worry about the Chengdu Mansion being unable to conquer it.

Standing on the south gate, Liu Yuanzhen couldn't help frowning: "The southern barbarians are not even ready to talk, this is a posture to directly attack the city." ”

"General, I'm afraid that the Southern Barbarians have also seen through our plans, and the Southern Barbarian firearms are powerful, for them, even if this Chengdu Mansion is attacked, it is not impossible to capture it, we can't sit still in the city, and when the time comes, the Southern Barbarian firearms can't raise their heads, then it's too late." If it weren't for the subordinates who rushed out to fight with their sons, if we could break the firearms of the Southern Barbarians, at least we wouldn't have to be so difficult to defend the city. A Mongolian Han general said generously on the side.

With his hand firmly pressed the battlements, Liu Yuanzhen looked intently at the Ming army below who was nervously preparing, and after being silent for a long time, he said helplessly: "There is no other way now, this is fine, Yang Dayuan, take five thousand brothers to kill out, and you can choose to ride on foot." Remember, even if there is no way to get close to the firearms of the Southern Barbarians, try to delay as much as possible. ”

"Obey!" The general of the Han family just now suddenly surrendered his hand excitedly.

Looking at his figure walking down the city gate, Liu Yuanzhen let out a long sigh. Five thousand people went out to attack the army array set up by tens of thousands of prepared soldiers, which is no different from sending them to death, but for the current Duyuan Town, there is no more choice, after all, what he has to do now is to be able to defend the first important town in Xichuan, and the second is to cover the passage from the Hexi Corridor to Dali behind him.

Liu Yuanzhen didn't want to know from which direction these cunning southern barbarians wanted to attack Dali, because for the turtle in the urn, no matter which direction the enemy came from, the final result would be a dead end, but it would be a matter of dying sooner or later.

What Liu Yuanzhen really expects now is not how long Yang Dayuan can lead people to support him, not how long the Chengdu Mansion under his feet can hold out under the firearm bombardment of the Southern Barbarians, but when Liu Cheng in the west will be able to bring the Tongchuan Mansion Army to help, this is his only reliance now, and it is also the closest support to Chengdu Mansion, if Liu Quan has no way to get rid of the Southern Barbarians who contain him, then Liu Yuanzhen knows very well what the fate of Chengdu Mansion and himself is waiting for.

Although Liu Yuanzhen knew that now Mongolia was oppressed by the southern barbarians and had to shrink his forces and defend strictly, even if he lost Chengdu Mansion, it was not his fault, but Liu Yuanzhen knew that once he lost Chengdu Mansion, perhaps Kublai Khan's trust and favor would not be less, but the intertwined strength of the Liu family for two generations would be wiped out.

Mongolia is such a system, without soldiers in its hands, even if it is noble, in the end it will be annexed by others.

The sound of killing under the city was everywhere, Liu Yuanzhen gritted his teeth and stood on the head of the city without saying a word.

"This Mongolian Tartar is really bold, tell the brothers in the back that the bed crossbow, trebuchet and flying thunder cannon can be greeted, don't be afraid of these Mongolian Tartars in front." Shi Xunzhong narrowed his eyes, and the spear in his hand was slowly raised, "Who is coming?" ”

"Enlightening the pioneer, the banner of the comer is Yang Dayuan." One of the heads replied aloud.

The face that was originally smiling suddenly gloomy, Shi Xunzhong snorted coldly: "This traitor, he still has the courage to kill out of the city, then don't blame the young master's subordinates for being ruthless." Sons, kill! ”

"Kill!" The Ming soldiers in the front row shouted at the same time, and the rows of spears pointing to the sky rolled and fell like waves, flashing silver in the sun, and white tassels fluttering in the wind. (To be continued.) )
