Chapter 107: Battle of Diaoyu City!!

"Big eyes, from today onwards, when I am away, everything will obey what Mo Lao says!" I turned back to Yang Dayan and said, Dayan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately bowed down and said yes.

"Lord, don't be so polite." Mo Lao said with a slight smile on his face.

"This is as it should be, by the way, Mo Lao should stop calling me lord, you can call me Xiao Tao." I said politely.

"It's not going to be done." Mo Lao shook his head and said.

"Make, make, Mo Lao don't want to see outside." I said with a smile.

Mo Lao nodded: "Then it's better to be respectful, I have a task here, I don't know if you have any ideas?" ”

As soon as I heard that there was a mission, my eyes lit up.

System prompt: Do you accept the quest [Battle of Diaoyu City]?

Need you talk about this?

System Prompt: You have accepted the quest [Battle of Diaoyu City]! (Territory SSS level mission, current mission difficulty unknown)

SSS-level mission, very awesome.

"Go, Lord Xiaotao, the old man is here to welcome you to come triumphantly!" As soon as Mo Lao's words fell, the six-pointed star array flickered under my feet, and disappeared in an instant.

Seems like something is missing, right! There's no mission introduction.,How can this be done.。

After the vertigo, I appeared on top of an ancient city, Diaoyu City!

It is said that the Song Dynasty is a weak country, always beaten, and has no power to fight back, in fact, at that time, the Mongolian iron cavalry can be described as the world's first, basically able to set foot in Europe and Asia, every city, all resistance, all slaughter, and the Song Dynasty has been struggling under such a powerful iron cavalry for decades, if there is no Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the entire Western world will be destroyed, and Diaoyu City, close to the military and civilians in a city, let the whole world tremble for the Mongolian iron cavalry for 36 years without further progress, so that it attacked Egypt, Western Europe's plan to fail.

It was also a turning point in the Mongol Empire's transition from prosperity to decline, after which the Mongol Empire, which had swept across Eurasia, quickly fell apart!

In Central Asia, the Khwarazm dynasty, which had flourished for a long time, had long since been conquered by the Mongols.

In Eastern Europe, the legendary European knights, the second largest army of the Holy See, were wiped out in just a few days against the Mongol cavalry.

In Western Asia, the mysterious Murai Castle, although built on top of the top, could not escape the doom of being razed.

In front of the Mongol iron cavalry, the famous city of Baghdad, the glorious 500-year-old Abbasid dynasty all ceased to exist.

Mongolia gathered more than 100,000 troops to the south, ready to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, the army was divided into two routes, one way in the east, through Shaanxi to the Central Plains, to capture Xiangyang and go south to Ezhou, all the way in the west, the national university scattered along the Jialing River to Sichuan, and the east road army converged, attacking Lin'an, that is, the country of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time.

And where Diaoyu City is located, thousands of miles away from Lin'an, the goal of the Mongolian army is to eliminate the Southern Song Dynasty, why did it go so far to fight Diaoyu City, just because of two words - money and grain.

Sichuan Shu State, since ancient times, is the country of abundance, is the granary of the Great Song Dynasty, Mongolian nomads, for food more important.

Diaoyu City across the Jialing River is Hezhou, the three rivers converge, the waterway transportation is convenient, Hezhou is easy to fight, but the premise is to fight Diaoyu City first, because Diaoyu City overlooks Hezhou, Hezhou has changed, Diaoyu City can immediately send troops to support, even if Hezhou is defeated, the Diaoyu City defenders can also be harassed at any time, so Diaoyu City must be taken.

On the other side of Hezhou, there is not only a fishing city, but also a total of eight cities, such as Dahou City, Yunshan City, and Qingju City, which are combined to form the Eight Pillars of Sichuan. Along the Jialing River, with the river as the line and the city as the point, the fortification is carried out layer by layer.

Diaoyu City is built on the mountain, there are eight city gates, several of which are built on the cliff, the plank road will be removed in wartime, forming a natural danger, it is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

At this time, Mongolia, which had conquered West Asia, no longer only had iron cavalry, but had learned the combat experience of the East and the West.

Diaoyu Mountain is located in the east of Hezhou City, "Jialing in the west, Kuifu in the east, Langjian on the top, and Chongqing on the bottom", which is the barrier in the north of Chongqing. The mountain range is majestic and magnificent, the mountain shape is abrupt, and the peaks are dangerous and dangerous. The mountain slopes from east to west, forming layers of terraces. The southwest and northwest corners and the central mountains are uplifted, forming flat-topped mountains such as Bodaoling, Ma'anshan, and Zhongyan. The top of the mountain is more than 500 zhang long from east to west, and more than 300 zhang wide from north to south. Under the mountain is the ravines vertical and horizontal, the mountain is surrounded by arches - there are Brain Dingping, Suoziling, Sunjiawan, Dustpan Rock, Fangniuping, Shouting Tianbao, Shizi Mountain in the east; In the southwest, there are Aijiawan and Xiaobai Tower; There are Zhujiagou, Baihean, and Harrier Rock in the north; On the south side, there are black water towers and curly ears. There is a boulder on the south side of the mountain, the surface is flat, the volley protrudes, overlooking the Jialing River. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a giant god who fished here to save the people of Hezhou who suffered from famine due to natural disasters, so this platform was called Diaoyutai, and the mountain was named after the platform. In Chinese history, there are many historic sites called "Diaoyutai", and those who leave their names in history include the famous general Han Xin Diaoyutai of the Han Dynasty, the Diaoyutai of Yan Ziling of the Han Dynasty, the Diaoyutai of Tao Kan of the Jin Dynasty, the Diaoyutai of Zhang Zhihe of the Tang Dynasty, and the Diaoyutai of Jin Zhangzong. The most famous is Jiang Taigong Fishing Terrace, because of the allusion of "Jiang Taigong fishing, the willing person takes the bait", "fishing" also has the meaning of chasing fame. The mountain is called Diaoyu Mountain because of the Diaoyu Tai, and the person who built the city on the mountain is the Diaoyu City, and there is only one place in Hezhou.

In addition to the steep mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Diaoyu Mountain is also located at the confluence of the three rivers - the Fujiang River in its south, the Jialing River through its north, the Qujiang River in its east, surrounded by rivers on three sides, for the garrison soldiers to be in danger. When Peng Daya, the former deputy envoy of Sichuan, built Chongqing City, he was already aware of the benefits of Diaoyu Mountain, and sent his troops to build a village in Diaoyu Mountain as a place for officials and people in Hezhou to avoid chaos, which was the beginning of the construction of Diaoyu City. After receiving the advice of the Ran brothers, Yu Jue personally went to Diaoyu Mountain to investigate, and finally decided to adopt his suggestion and appointed the Ran brothers to be responsible for rebuilding Diaoyu City.

The foot of the Diaoyu City after the completion of the construction is fifty miles around and is divided into two cities: the inner and the outer. The outer city is built on top of cliffs, according to the mountain according to the danger, deep ditches and high barriers. The walls are made entirely of large stone strips, and they are unusually strong. The city wall and the height of the natural mountain rock are as high as dozens of zhang, and the inside and outside are covered with miscellaneous trees and dense vines, and the ancient spots are pale. There are eight gates of the first gate, the door of the country, the new east gate, the Qinghua gate, the strange door, the Qisheng gate, the west gate of the town, the small east gate, and the water hole door. There are many fields in the foothills around Diaoyu Castle, and there are also large tracts of arable land inside the castle, so even if the castle is besieged for a long time, it can be self-sufficient and hold on for a long time. As a strong fortress with strong cities, abundant food, sufficient soldiers, arable and combatable, and conducive to long-term defense, Diaoyu City has effectively assumed the great responsibility of the Chongqing barrier and the defense support point of Sichuan since its completion. Yu Yu also moved the Hezhou Zhi, Xingyuan Metropolitan Commandery and Lidong Pacification Envoys to Diaoyu City, and Diaoyu City became "Bashu Yaojin".
