When these frustrated sailors and the Song army on the shore searched for Meng Ge, the monarch who was already alone quietly swam out for more than half a mile, looking at no one around, and secretly stepped on the shore, and saw a willow tree dozens of steps away from the west, thick and tall, a strong man couldn't hold his hands together, Meng Ge now urgently needed a moment of rest, this bumpy way to escape, his body and energy had long been exhausted, even if he was a hundred steps forward, he felt extremely difficult, fortunately, he was not as fat as Ogedei Khan, Otherwise, they might have been caught by the enemy long ago.

He stumbled under the willow tree, turned around and leaned against the trunk of the tree and gasped for breath, this willow tree was untended, and the branches were extremely dense, compared to the beautiful rows of willow trees on the official road outside the middle capital, it was like a demon and monster erected by the river. But Meng Ge didn't care about this, he even felt that meeting the willow tree here was the blessing of the immortal heaven, when Genghis Khan started at the end of the Wei, was invited by his righteous brother Zamuhe to attack halfway, thanks to the middle road there is a red willow forest can be used as a cover, this Mongolian everyone knows the battle of the red willow forest, not only let the Temujin clan get out of the great disaster, but also let the prestige of the Zamuhe clan be frustrated, and soon after Wang Han decided to unite with Temujin and abandoned Zamuhe. Therefore, the willow tree is actually a blessing for the Mongolian nation.

This time, is it still the blessing that the Mongol Great Khan was able to escape?

Meng Ge reluctantly stood up, he heard Hao Jing tell the story of the Central Plains to Kublai Khan, after the defeat of one side, most of them fled alone, this time he was really running away on horseback, at this time, but he had to meet a small army of the Song Dynasty casually, and he was free to capture it. This is a place of right and wrong, he can't stay for a long time, he needs to leave this place as much as possible, the Mongol army in the north of the river desperately infiltrated hundreds of ships to the south of the Yangtze River, there must be boats along the river to cross the river.

Meng Ge suddenly felt a chill in his heart, he instinctively lowered his head to look, the tip of the snow bright gun had already revealed the breastplate, his eyes widened, he turned his head to look, behind him was a trembling young man, trembling holding the handle of the gun, wearing an old-fashioned pot helmet, his young eyes were full of panic and nervousness.

He reluctantly turned around, the little soldier saw that he could still move, so frightened that he hurriedly abandoned the spear, trembling and wanted to pull out the waist knife from his waist, but he couldn't pull it out, in fact, the young soldier was too nervous, he had forgotten the pre-battle training, at this time, as long as he grabbed the spear and pulled it out of Meng Gehou's heart, Meng Ge would immediately rupture the wound and die.

Meng Ge, the Great Khan of Mongolia, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the blood droplets splashed on the face of the Song soldier, and shouted: "That Sinan Siren, report your name!" ”

The young man was so frightened that he took two steps back, plucked up his courage and said in a trembling voice: "I, I am Wang Xiaoyi, the guard of the northern camp of the Ezhou native soldiers, and I will make you die today."

Meng Ge coughed up two mouthfuls of blood violently and shouted, "Who taught you to ambush here!" ”

Wang Xiaoyi's heart was slightly calm, and he gritted his teeth boldly and said: "My father and mother all died at the hands of the Mongols, and the Mongols lost the battle today, how can they not come to take revenge!" ”

"Ridiculous!" Meng Ge gasped and shouted: "Fighting a war is nothing more than killing people and robbing things, otherwise what are you doing in a war!" How can a warrior attack from behind! ”

He sat down and straightened up with the last of his strength: "Pull out your sword, cut off my head in front of me and present it to Zheng Yunming, and tell him that the Great Khan of Mongolia did not die at the hands of a coward!" ”

Wang Xiaoyi shuddered for a moment, and then said loudly: "I don't believe it!" Don't think you'll survive by pretending to be a captive chieftain! Thief Tartar, honestly bring the head! With that, he raised the snow knife in his hand and slashed at Meng Ge's neck.

Zheng Yunming rode slowly into the wilderness, the good news of the soldiers and horses of the various departments flew like snowflakes, and the messenger who announced the victory to the governor lined up under the Qingluo umbrella, how many heads were cut in the array, and it was no longer enough to capture and kill hundreds of households and thousands of households to become an important merit, at least 50,000 households have been reported to have obtained the first rank, and three 10,000 households were captured alive, and the captured horses, clothes, banners, golden drums, weapons, and honor guards are countless, and the grain and straw are piled up. Just looking at the various jewels looted from the corpses of the Mongol soldiers on the soldiers is enough to understand the unprecedented future of this great victory, the nomadic tribes of Mobei took cattle and horses as their private property, and most of the other valuable items were carried with them, so there were many treasures around them. Even if they have become the world's richest and most powerful country, but the accumulated habits on the grassland are still difficult to correct, the Great Song Dynasty has long been said to kill a Mongolian soldier can get more than three years of military salary, although Zheng Yunming is unwilling to admit it, but these are actually the most direct factors for the Song soldiers to fight bravely.

The great victory in the Battle of Ezhou also made the capture of the Song army exceed the original expectations, and the best estimate of the staff officers of the Governor's Office was only the same as the result of each year in the past twenty years, the Song army attacked one after another, using the advantage of weapons and training to create a series of small and medium-sized victories, and then forced the Mongol army to realize the difficulty of crossing the river and retreat, at most to take advantage of the pursuit, as for such an unprecedented victory, they never dreamed of such an unprecedented victory. Bai Yijie even ignored the fact that the war was not completely over, and the battles of various departments still needed command and coordination, and handed over the task of battlefield scheduling to Wang Deng, who rushed to the battlefield from the upstream by speedboat, and personally went to deal with the problem of collecting and transporting the loot.

For today's Great Song Dynasty, this batch of loot is by no means the so-called "take the enemy's grain and pay the strong man" in the style of the Lin'an vegetable garden to talk about cheap things, although in a big war Bai Yijie did not realize the plan of the Governor Xianggong, but this battle was won, but he knew what the Governor wanted to do next, for the Governor's Mansion, for Lin'an, to carry out the next more ambitious plan, this batch of captured materials will play a decisive role.

This was even important enough for Zheng Yunming to nod his head and agree that his most important military think tank was temporarily leaving his post, just before the war was completely over. In fact, it took some time for the Mongols to be divided and wiped out, and many of the Mongol troops bravely launched a counterattack, and even a small force of the Dang Xiang people broke through to a distance of only a few hundred steps away from Zheng Xianggong, and naturally they no longer had the opportunity to kill with one blow like Marshal Nu Fo, and were quickly crushed by the elite horse infantry. Although the war is nearing its end, Zheng Yunming still meticulously exercises the duties of the Governor's Office, which is originally his style of using troops, everything must be done well. There are more than 10,000 things waiting to be dealt with on the battlefield, but the important thing is to visit the situation in Ezhou first.

Ezhou City was personally deployed and built by Zheng Yunming when he presided over Jinghu, and Zheng Yunming knew everything about every brick and tile in Ezhou, even better than his permanent base Xiangyang, but this city he carefully built made Zheng Yunming almost unrecognizable when he saw the whole picture. The brick-clad city wall, which is said to be difficult for thousands of people to cross, has long been shattered, and the thousands of holes are far from enough to describe the tragic state of the city wall.

"Unexpectedly, the power of the Shenwu cannon is here." Xu Yuanjie, who walked behind Zheng Yunming, sighed casually, as the current backbone level official of the Great Song Dynasty, he personally went to the front line to organize the consulate general with such an important position as the secretary of the military department, in order to fully guarantee the huge military needs of the front-line army, it is no exaggeration to say that this is not a war that has won with courage and wisdom, but a war that has won with strong national strength and materials, just bows and arrows that have retreated to the secondary front, and all kinds of feather arrows and crossbow arrows alone have consumed more than 1.7 million arrows, Not to mention gunpowder, a gunpowder transport ship that transported gunpowder came from Jiangnan, and it took less than a cup of tea to be divided up by the various departments that were in urgent need of the front, and the rest such as armor, golden drums, flags, knives and guns, medicines, camp tents, etc., were huge and difficult to count, in Zheng Yunming's joking statement to Xu Yuanjie, "Even the caramel has prepared 100,000 catties, if I can't defeat the Mongols, I am really the most incompetent prime minister in the world." ”

However, Gaussde didn't buy this tired Xu Shangshu, and he said bluntly: "If the Ministry of War had noticed that the Mongols were casting such a divine artifact a few years ago, wouldn't it be better to be able to correspond to the research and development of a means to crack it?" “

"It's not the head of the military department to blame it." Zheng Yunming pointed to the official road outside the city, the official road filled with stones and marl was originally smooth like a mirror, but at this time it was already full of potholes, and it was almost impossible to travel: "Something like this, which destroys the road once and again, even if it is powerful, how can it be used again in a field war?" Those copper and iron monsters pulled by dozens of pack horses are already behind this era, and the future will inevitably be the world of standardized standard artillery and medium and light field artillery. There is such a thing as a Shenwu cannon, which will never appear on the battlefield again in the future. ”

Zheng Yunming raised his eyes and looked at the mountains of corpses of the two armies inside and outside the city wall, as if telling how shocking today's offensive and defensive operations were, no need to watch the terrifying scene of the soldiers of the two armies fighting with their fists and teeth to the end, many people tore and hugged into a ball of desperate fighting, just look at the dead man's face before he died, he can fully understand how the two sides inside and outside the city have paid great determination for this important town in the heart of Jinghu.
