Chongqing Prefecture.

What used to be a small city in the middle of nowhere, is now crowded with people, and across the river, it's just as crowded.

They just stood on the shore, looking eagerly at the fishing boats that were walking in the middle of the river. There are hundreds of fishing boats shuttling through here, but even with so many fishing boats, it is difficult to evacuate so many people in a short period of time, not to mention the continuous increase in the number of people who come here.

Seeing that the fishing boats were too slow, the people also became anxious and kept shouting.

"How long is it going to pass? My wife is about to give birth, and she can't wait long. ”

"That's right. The Tartar will come at any time, and if you stay here, you will definitely be in danger. ”

"Alas. Why do you think this tartar has to come every few years? This is the first time we've moved?"

“......”

There was helplessness in the words, and it was obvious that they were also numb to the scene in front of them.

At this moment, on the Yangtze River, a warship rushed to the edge of the pontoon bridge at great speed.

"There are so many of them?"

Sweeping his eyes on the shore, Yu Jue was not surprised.

Ran Jin next to him shook his head helplessly and replied, "No way." Since the Wuliang Hetai conquered Dali, the Mongols have planted a nail behind us. At this time, Na Meng Ge personally led the army from Tufan to the east, and has recently destroyed Chengdu, and Wuliang Hetai also occupies Xuzhou, it can be said that the current generation of southern Shaanxi and northern Sichuan is under the threat of the other party. In order to survive, the people here had no choice but to abandon their homes and move here. ”

"But with so many people, it is difficult to settle down in Ba County alone. If this is the case, I am afraid that we will need to find another location and rebuild the new city to settle the people here. Yu Jue's eyes were full of sorrow, and he felt that the task on his shoulders was arduous.

Ran Jin bowed his head and replied, "The last general understands. ”

"And!" Yu Jue saw that the people on the shore were pleading, and he could not bear it in his heart, and commanded: "Now that the people are in urgent need of a boat, this ship is of little use to me, so you can use it to transport the people." After saying that, his body jumped, but he jumped directly from the warship and fell in front of the people.

Seeing Yu Jue's strength, those people were surprised and hurriedly bowed down.

"It turned out to be Lord Yu. If it weren't for the adults who came forward, I was afraid that I would have been destroyed by the Tartars long ago. ”

"Xiaomin is kowtowing to Lord Yu here. Please save my life. ”

"The Tartar destroyed all my family. Please avenge us. ”

“......”

pleaded one after another, and spit out all the resentment in his chest.

Since more than 20 years ago, after the Tatars entered Sichuan, there has been no place to settle down in this Sichuan.

Basically, every once in a while, the Mongols would lead a large army from Tufan to the south to invade Sichuan and Shu, not to conquer the city, but purely to slaughter the people and create panic. Being made by them, it can be said that the entire Sichuan and Shu people are panicked and afraid all day long.

In this situation, how can we continue the previous production?

Fortunately, more than ten years ago, Yu Jue finally came here, and finally organized the military and civilians here, not only repelling the Mongol invasion, but also resuming production in the entire Sichuan and Shu, and even sending grain to Lin'an.

But now that the Mongols have come with a large army, will they be able to continue the miracle they had before?

The scene in front of Yu Jue's eyes also felt inexplicable sadness and indignation in his heart, and he rose up and landed on a large stone with a height of a foot next to him, and shouted to everyone: "Don't panic, everyone, all follow the order and enter the city." We have already prepared enough food in the city, so we can ensure that you are safe and sound. ”

"Once again, I will be safe and sound. Even if the tartar comes, he will definitely not be pleased. ”

"Lord Yu's words, how dare you not listen to them? Everyone, don't continue to quarrel. Let's do as Lord Yu instructs. ”

“......”

Seeing Yu Jue standing beside him, those people felt relieved, and under the guidance of the soldiers next to them, they stepped into the city.

Yu Jue saw that everyone was like a mermaid and stepped into Ba County, so he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed slightly: "Fortunately, I arrived in time, if it is a short time at night, I am afraid that this place will be attacked by the Tartars." When the time comes, it will be completely dangerous. While he was muttering to himself, another group of people came to this place from a distance, and the leader was Wang Jian.

When Wang Jian saw Yu Jue standing here, he also jumped and stood at his side, and when he saw Yu Jue's frowning and sighing, he felt a little surprised, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you?

"Nothing. Just thinking about something. Yu Jue paused, but raised his head and looked at the land to the west, his eyes full of worry: "Alas. I didn't expect there to be so many people this time. It seems that if we want to repel the other party, it will be absolutely impossible to do it by us alone. ”

"You don't have to worry about that. Before, we had people go to Chang'an to meet the King of Jin. The king of Jin knew that the Sichuan and Shu generation was really dangerous, so he changed his relatives and led a large army to come, and now he has come to Xingyuan Mansion. Wang Jian said with a smile.

Yu Jue's eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt like he was desperate: "Oh, I didn't expect that this time, I would let King Jin come in person?"

"That's right. This time, even King Jin is here, what are you worried about?" Wang Jian nodded and affirmed.

"That said. But we must not rely on the power of the Jin king, and we must make multiple preparations to prevent our army from being completely crushed by the Mongols. Although Yu Jue was happy, he was not an opportunistic person, and immediately calculated in his heart how to deal with the Mongol army at that time.

Wang Jian continued to ask, "Oh, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to move the administrative office of Hezhou here. Fu You raised his head, and Yu Jue looked straight at the mountains in the distance.

"Here?" Wang Jian was surprised, swept the surrounding terrain, and sighed: "This place is very dangerous, but it is a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But as you know, there are so many mountains in this area, it can be very difficult to build a city here. If nothing else, just getting water is quite difficult. Do you think it's possible?"

And look at this place, there is Daba Mountain in the north, Wushan Mountain in the east, Wuling Mountain in the southeast, Da Lou Mountain in the south, the terrain is gradually reduced from the north to the Yangtze River valley, the northwest and the central part are mainly hills and low mountains, and the southeast is dominated by two large mountain ranges of Daba Mountain and Wuling Mountain, and there are more slopes, and it is called "mountain city".

If you want to capture this place, you have to spend a lot of effort, otherwise it will be difficult to conquer at all.

Yu Jue swept away the people in the distance, gritted his teeth and said loudly: "As the so-called Shengtian, there is nothing impossible in this world. ”

Wang Jian's eyes were gloomy, and he immediately plucked up his courage and said in support: "Okay." Either way, I'll help you. ”

............

Chengdu Mansion.

Since the arrival of the army led by Möngke a few days ago, the people of the city have almost fled.

And the rest, because they were afraid of the name of the previous Mongol massacre, gave up the idea of resistance early and threw themselves directly into the Mongols, in order to be able to survive.

Although he is a loyal minister, in this troubled world, he is more of a villain who abandons everything for his own life.

Located in the city, Meng Ge swept away all the generals under the hall and opened his mouth to ask, "At present, we have already attacked Chengdu Mansion. What do you think should be done next?"

"The Great Khan. The next person immediately stood up and said in a loud voice: "Yichen thinks that now that we have broken the defense of the Song army, and the enemy is currently afraid of our might, he will not dare to come to stop it. It is better to take advantage of this time to spare from Jiancheng and step into the two lakes area from Kuizhou. At that time, if we occupy this place, we can cooperate with the two of them to the north, Pasipa and Kuoduan, and take advantage of the situation to flank the Red Phoenix Army, so that it cannot take care of its head and tail. To the east, they can directly attack Lin'an of the Southern Dynasty, and even if it is difficult to defeat the other side, they can also cause a large number of massacres here, and then shake the foundation of their people's hearts. In this way, we should be able to defeat the Song Dynasty completely in one go. ”

"Suddenly, your plan is too bold. If we follow your advice, I'm afraid we will have to destroy the whole army. Before he could finish speaking, Zhong Wei had already stood up and vetoed loudly.

Shu Su suddenly chuckled and said, "Since Meng Heng's death, the Song Dynasty has been afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and they don't dare to fight with us at all. Moreover, when the Jin Dynasty was rising, it used to reach Bianjing thousands of miles long, and how could the Northern Song Dynasty resist several times that of the Southern Song Dynasty? In that case, why should you be afraid?"

"This time and that time. Although the Song Dynasty was weak, the Red Phoenix Army was very different. ”

Zhong Wei shook his head and vetoed: "You were only in the western expedition before, and the object you faced was just some Fanbang barbarians, how could you resist our heavenly army? But this Red Phoenix Army is different, this army started in Qianmo, marched in the flames of war, and its leader Xiao Feng stepped into the earth immortal, it has been more than ten years, and it is not ordinary people who can resist. If she leads an army to attack from behind, we are isolated, how can we confront the other party?"

"Then according to what you say, how should we proceed?" Shu Shu suddenly sneered, looking at Zhong Wei with disdain.

"That's right. ”

Hearing the two arguing, Meng Ge also looked at Zhong Wei and asked: "The action of the Swift Movement is indeed bold, if it becomes a natural ability to annihilate the two great enemies of the Red Phoenix Army and the Southern Dynasty in one fell swoop, but if it loses, then we will have to fold all here." If it is according to your ideas, how should we act?"

Zhong Wei took a deep breath and said slowly, "Khan. As far as I can see, if we want to destroy the Southern Dynasty and defeat the Red Phoenix Army, we must make this place our jurisdiction. In this way, we can have a stable and tranquil logistics base here. When the army is out, an army can be sent from here to attack from behind. When the time comes, whether it is the Red Phoenix Army or the Southern Dynasty, they will definitely take care of themselves. After several fierce battles in this way, the other party will definitely be exhausted, and it will be difficult to stay for a long time in the end. ”

"This method is very good, and it is indeed much stronger than the plan of the Rapid Technique. ”

Meng Ge listened, and his face showed a little joy.

Zhong Wei frowned tightly, and said, "But this method has a shortcoming. ”

"What are the shortcomings?" asked Möngke again.

"That's where the power of the Song Dynasty still exists. For example, Hezhou, Chongqing and other places, because they are located in the deep mountains, have always been difficult to break through with our strength, but they are extremely tricky. And if we withdraw our troops here, then the pair can dispatch from the city and retake Sichuan and Shu. This is also the reason why Kuduan has waged wars several times before, but has never captured this place. Zhong Wei's eyes were annoyed, obviously quite annoyed by these mountain cities.

The Mongol army is known for its cavalry, but in Sichuan, except for the Pingchuan near Chengdu, the rest of the places are not mountains and hills, and in this kind of place, the strength of the Mongolian cavalry will drop to the limit, and it will be difficult to confront the Song army.

Meng Ge suddenly understood, opened his mouth and said, "So, do you mean to concentrate all your strength at this moment and completely uproot these fortified cities?"

"That's right. It's just that these cities are very strong, and there are also immortals such as Yu Jue and Wang Jian who are guarding them. If you want to capture it, there is nothing you can do with Kuoduan and Pasipa alone. Nodding, Zhong Wei felt even more annoyed.

Although the Mongols were powerful and ruled far back in the world, their power was not endless.

If people die to a certain extent, they will be afraid, not to mention that these dead people are themselves, as for the ruled under their command, their output also has its limit, if it is squeezed to a certain extent, it is also the same as what the Red Phoenix Army did at the beginning, it will rise up and attack, and lead the people to revolt.

At that time, it is also very possible that the whole of Mongolia will collapse without a fight.

"In that case, I don't know General Guo, what do you think?" Although Meng Ge had a plan in his heart, he tilted his head to look at a middle-aged man next to him.

This person is naturally Guo Kan, known as the "God of War in the Eastern Heavens", and after the Western Expedition, he was also recruited by Meng Ge into the account and participated in the war to destroy the Song Dynasty together.

"Khan!"

Guo Kan saw that Meng Ge saw it, although he didn't give a courtesy because of his own strength, he didn't dare to offend the other party easily, not to mention that he and the person in front of him were also comrades-in-arms who fought together. I saw him bow his head slightly, and replied: "Although the fortified city is strong, I also have a plan at present, that is, to create artillery that can break through the fortified city." If this cannon is manufactured, it will definitely be able to completely defeat the opponent with its great power. ”

"Artillery, you mean, ready to defeat the other side with artillery?"

Meng Ge's eyes lit up and he immediately smiled.

Since the manufacture of artillery in Mongolia, such firearms opened by the Red Phoenix Army have been widely used in the military field, among which generals such as Zhong Wei and Shi Tianze have emerged in Mongolia, and they have begun to try how to give full play to the power of firearms.

And Guo Kan is one of the best.

During the Second Western Expedition, he relied on the power of this artillery to defeat all the Western countries.

"That's right! As long as this cannon is made, the opponent will definitely be difficult to parry, and it will naturally fail completely. ”

Guo Kan had self-confidence in his chest and directly undertook the task of attacking the city.

For him, there is no city in this world that he cannot attack.
