Chapter 99: Severe

In the second year of Song Jianwu, Layue, twenty-five.

Fengxiang Mansion, the northwest gateway of Shaanxi, its city wall is made of huge stones, and the four gates have urn cities, which are solid as gold, and are important military towns in the northwest, and Chang'an City is on par.

A few months ago, the Mongolian West Road army besieged the city, hundreds of stone throwers were smashed indiscriminately, and in less than a month, Fengxiang Mansion City became under the rule of the Mongolian army.

After the Mongol army on the West Road captured Fengxiang Mansion, Torrey led an army of 70,000 to the south, trying to advance eastward through the Song Realm, and only 3,000 Han troops and 2,000 captured Jin soldiers were left in the city of Fengxiang Mansion.

After the war, this important town in the northwest under the rule of the Jin State was dilapidated. Inside and outside the city, the city walls, trees, and houses were charred and black, and there were ruins and broken walls, broken flags, broken trees, rubble, broken wood, and gravel and slag scattered everywhere.

The city was full of corpses and sunheads, and the corpses of men and horses scattered on the snowfield were in different forms, layer upon layer, with broken arms and legs, human internal organs, horizontal and vertical, covered by flying snowflakes, like hell on earth.

Outside the west city gate, dozens of carriages full of grain and grass spread out along the official road, and in front of the city gate, the people entering the city were talking to the officers and soldiers guarding the city.

"You're from Wangubu? Are you really Wang Shixian, the defender of Qinzhou? ”

The Mongolian army guard looked at Wang Shixian, who was covered in snowflakes, and the other party's accent made him kind.

"Yes, definitely. It's just that I've been in Jinguo for a long time, so this accent has changed slightly. ”

Wang Shixian smiled with a smile on his face, took out the letter of persuasion that Torre gave him, and handed it to the guard.

"General, you see, this is a letter of persuasion from Marshal Torre to me, but I was inconvenient at the time, so I didn't dare to agree. Now that I have killed my superiors, there is no one to stop me, so I came with grain and grass and my brothers and went to the marshal. ”

He pointed to the grain cart behind him and continued:

"General, you see that there are 100 carts of grain, 200 stones. There were also some good wine, good meat, gold, silver and jewelry in the car, all of which were brought to the marshal! ”

"General Wang, you came unfortunately, half a month ago, the marshal led his troops south!"

The general looked at Torre's letter of persuasion, and then at the series of grain carts, and frowned.

"Grain and grass were brought to the city first, and good wine, meat, gold, silver, and jewels were given to me, and men and horses were stationed outside the city first. When the marshal returns, I will arrange for you to see the marshal again!" ”

"General, I'm afraid this is a little inconvenient, right?"

Wang Shixian pretended to hesitate.

"This is a military order, do you want to rebel?"

The guard's eyes widened, and his eyebrows raised.

"Hurry up and transport the grain and grass in, and leave the good things behind, or don't blame me for being unkind!"

The guard's face was pale, and his hand was already on the handle of the knife.

"Okay, don't be angry, general! I listen to the general! ”

Wang Shixian smiled all over his face, and quickly stuffed the money bag into the guard's other hand, and then beckoned.

"Hurry quickly, bring the grain and grass to the city, and leave the cart of gold, silver, and jewels. Remember, when the food and grass are settled, hurry out of the city! ”

"General Wang, don't worry, when the marshal comes back, I'll give you a few good words!"

The guard took the money bag and looked at it, smiling. He looked up and looked behind him.

"Where is the gold and silver jewelry? Take me to see it! ”

"Okay, thank you, General! General please! ”

Wang Shixian had a hippie smile on his face, and hurriedly urged, the officers and soldiers defending the city moved away from the horses and let them make their debut, and the coachman hurriedly drove the grain cart to the city.

Wang Shixian's eyes were burning, and he watched the grain cart enter the city gate, and his heart finally let go.

Using his status as a golden general, he used Torrey's letter of persuasion to recapture Fengxiang Mansion and control the northwest gateway of Shaanxi.

This is his Wang Shixian, a general of the Jin State to the Song army.

The capture of Fengxiang Mansion is equivalent to cutting off the back road of the Mongolian army on the western route. Unless the Mongol army can break through Hanzhong and go all the way south. Otherwise, on the way back to the army, they would be hit by the fatal blow of the Song army.

The Song Emperor who made him tremble in Hanzhong must have gathered heavy troops, and the Mongolian army wanted to take advantage of Hanzhong, I am afraid it would be difficult.

"Don't bother, take me with you!"

The officer urged impatiently, and Wang Shixian smiled all over his face and nodded to the officer.

"General, please follow me to the back."

His task has been completed, and the rest depends on these disguised Song army soldiers.

The guard was careless, with a defender, swaggering and following Wang Shixian to the back.

After walking about twenty paces, several coachmen came up from behind, stabbed the guards and the guards in the ribs and necks several times.

The guards and guards fell, and all the drivers next to the grain carts abandoned the grain carts, they drew their weapons from the carts, some with grenades in their hands, and some with small cannons, passed by Wang Shixian, rushed forward, and rushed straight to the west city gate.

Wang Shixian made his debut, quickened his pace, stood behind a grain truck, turned around, and looked at the city gate.

As far as the eye could see, the raindrops of earth-shattering thunder flew up to the city and landed near the city gate, and the violent explosions continued.

He could see clearly that there was smoke and dust billowing at the city gate, and the Song soldiers and soldiers continued to rush into the city gate hole, and they were constantly shot over by the feather arrows at the head of the city, but more Song troops entered the city.

On the city wall at the city gate, earth-shattering explosions were heard one after another, continuously. Flesh and blood flew on the city wall, earth and stones were in the air, screams came and went, and the Song army rushed to the head of the city, and the fierce battle began.

The explosions continued, and countless Song troops rushed to the city, and the small cannons were erected one after another, followed by a roar.

Thunder! Artillery!

Wang Shixian was shocked and sweating profusely.

With this wanton bombardment, the stone thrower at the head of the city did not even have time to launch, and the Mongolian army in the city did not collapse and collapsed.

The thunder continued, and the earth-shattering thunder rained down, and the swarming Mongolian infantry and cavalry were blown to pieces, and the constantly organized defense line was destroyed again and again. Under the heavy casualties, the Mongolian army retreated one after another, counterattacked negatively, and did not move forward.

The Song army did not attack, and the Mongolian army did not dare to attack, and the two sides entered a stalemate for a while, only firing artillery from a distance. Some of the Mongol soldiers were bold, relying on the obstacles and protection of their houses, approached the city gate and shot down some Song soldiers.

It seems that they also understand that only by recapturing and closing the city gate can they ensure the safety of Fengxiang Mansion City.

Wang Shixian was so anxious that he couldn't help but look back.

The sound of thunderous horses' hooves came, and countless Song cavalry came on horseback, overwhelming the sky, and went straight to Fengxiang Mansion City.

Dozens of grain trucks at the gate of the city were quickly moved away, the city gate was wide open, and the cavalry of the Song army rushed to the scene and quickly rolled into the city of Fengxiangfu.

Seeing all this, Wang Shixian was a little relieved.

Thousands of troops and horses of the Song army entered the city of Fengxiang Mansion, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and they went in all directions towards the city, and the city was full of shouts and killings, accompanied by the explosion of earth-shaking thunder, and countless Song army foot soldiers rushed into the city.

"General, what's that?"

Among the cavalry of the Song army who came over, Li Dajie shouted. Wang Shixian raised his head, only to see countless golden soldiers appear outside the southern city, chaotic, fleeing to the south.

The golden soldiers of Fengxiang Mansion City!

The golden soldiers of Fengxiang Mansion City, who surrendered to the Mongolian army, took the lead in escaping!

"General, do you want to chase and kill for a while?"

Li Dajie's eyes lit up, and his fighting spirit was blazing.

"There's no need to chase and kill, a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they just land on them."

The subordinates led the horses over, Wang Shixian got on the horse, and Li Dajie led his subordinates to go straight to the captive deserters outside the southern city.

seized Fengxiang Mansion City, this is his Wang Shixian's vote, and he can be regarded as reassuring Song Jun.

Seeing Wang Shixian leading the cavalry over, the fleeing Jin soldiers threw away their swords and guns, squatted on the ground and hugged their heads, and gave up resistance.

"Don't hurt them!"

Wang Shixian shook his head secretly and handed down the military order.

Thousands of gold army prisoners, and there were some cavalry inside, but no one resisted. The country of Jin has reached the point where it is now, the national strength is lacking, the morale of the army is weak, and it is already the sunset.

"General, you soft eggs! They also have today! ”

Suddenly, Li Dajie's horsewhip pointed to the east and laughed.

Wang Shixian was startled, looked up, and saw countless remnants of the Mongolian army fleeing eastward.

"The Han army, the name is not right, the words are not good, burning, killing and looting, a group of poor worms who see the wind and rudder!"

Wang Shixian sneered and shook his head.

Without the Mongol army, these Han troops are soft-footed shrimp, not worth mentioning.

However, even with the Mongol army in charge, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold the city in front of these wolf-like and armed Song troops.

The surrendered Jin soldiers abandoned the city and fled, tens of thousands of Song troops rode into the city, not long after, the sound of fighting in the city gradually declined, the Han army in the city also dispersed with the Jin soldiers, and the remnants of the enemy fled in the direction of Chang'an City in the east.

"Finally won!"

Outside the southern city, the banner of the Song army at the head of the city was flying, and Wang Shixian was also relieved.

Seeing Cao Youwen coming over with a horse, Wang Shixian and Li Dajie stepped forward to salute together.

"General Wang, you have made a great contribution to capture Fengxiang Mansion City! When I see Your Majesty, I will give you credit! ”

"General Cao, thank you!"

Wang Shixian hugged his fists and smiled, he glanced at the boundless cavalry behind Cao Youwen, and said in surprise:

"General Cao, are you going south to Hanzhong?"

He didn't know that Yu Jue had already led an army of 30,000 to the south, and together with various armies, he advanced into Hanzhong.

"General Yu has already led 30,000 troops south, and will go straight to Hanzhong with other armies. I'm now taking my brothers with me, and the goal is east. ”

Cao Youwen pointed ahead, his face calm.

"After capturing a few prisoners and interrogating them, there are only five or six thousand old and weak soldiers in Jingzhao Mansion. So ......"

Yu Jue led his troops south to reinforce Hanzhong, he couldn't just capture such a small Fengxiang Mansion City!

Chang'an City, even Tongguan, and the whole of Shaanxi, have a little bit of a challenge.

"Jingzhao Mansion!"

Wang Shixian and Li Dajie were both shocked and their eyes widened.

Cao Youwen's words speak for themselves. Song Jun, this is to restore the whole of Shaanxi!

The armies of all walks of life are heading south to Hanzhong! There must be 100,000 or so?

The Mongol Western Route Army in Nahan......

The cold sweat on Wang Shixian's forehead was suddenly dense.

"There are 130,000 troops in Han, catching turtles in urns. The Tatar army is still besieged in Hanzhong! Our goal is Jingzhao Mansion and Chang'an. Cut off Torre's retreat! ”

After Cao Youwen finished speaking lightly, he shouted loudly and hit the horse forward.

"Brothers, Chang'an!"

"Chang'an!"

The knights of the Song army raised their swords and guns, roared wildly, followed behind Cao Youwen, and rushed away.

"Cao Daring! Sure enough, he is full of guts, and his name is well deserved! ”

Wang Shixian watched thousands of troops gallop by, and sighed sincerely.

These tigers and wolves are not afraid of everyone in the world!

"General, is Torre's army really finished? Will they be able to take Chang'an? ”

Li Dajie was sweating and asked anxiously.

"What are you and them, you and I are all generals of the Song Army, you must know who you are! Can you care if Torre is dead or alive? ”

Wang Shixian looked around, his face pale.

"Li Dajie, you immediately lead the cavalry to follow. Li Ping, the guard of Tongguan, isn't he your cousin, see if you can persuade him to surrender. That's a big deal! ”

The Mongol army went south and attacked Henan all the way, without time to separate; Along the way, he borrowed Hanzhong and fought with the Song army; Shaanxi is a fictitious entity, and Cao Youwen's vision is poisonous enough.

"General, remember. Emperor Song is like a god, but he is really ruthless! ”

Li Dajie sighed with emotion, and led his troops to follow the army.

Wang Shixian watched the army go east and shook his head slightly.

As for the broken city and rotten soldiers in Chang'an, I really thought it was the former capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it was not captured yet.

Once the Song army captured Shaanxi, the back road of the Hanzhong Mongol army was really broken.
