Chapter 18 Meng Song Shi Sword Qi Slash

After Yin Zhiping left the Shaolin Temple, he turned south and went to the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.

At this time, the territory of Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty was mainly bounded by the Huai River. To the north of the Huai River was the Mongol control area, and to the south of the Huai River was the territory of the Song Dynasty.

The boundary of the Huai River is actually the boundary between the Song and Jin countries during the confrontation. At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty and Jindong were along the Huaishui River, and the west was bounded by the Dasanguan. It was a regime that coexisted with the Jin Kingdom, Western Liao, Dali, Western Xia, Tubo and Mongolia.

At this time, the Mongols had not long since they destroyed Jin, so they only annexed the original territory of the Jin State and did not capture too much territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Mongols destroyed Jin in the first year of Duanping, that is, three years ago.

At that time, Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty were in a state of cooperation, and they joined forces to destroy Jin. But at the time of cooperation to destroy Jin, Mongolia saw that the Southern Song Dynasty's military strength was weak, and it was because it had the intention of invading the Song Dynasty.

In the first year of Duanping, after the fall of the Jin Kingdom, the Mongolian army retreated north, and Henan was empty. The Southern Song Dynasty court intended to defend the Yellow River according to Tongguan, recover the three places of Kaifeng in Tokyo, Luoyang in Xijing, and Guide in Nanjing, and recover the Central Plains.

In May of that year, the Song army, with Zhao Kui as the main commander and Quan Zicai as the vanguard, sent troops to Henan. On June 12, Quanzi regained Nanjing. On July 5, the Song army entered Kaifeng. However, due to the lack of food and grass, the fighter plane was delayed, and the Mongolian army learned the news and returned. When the Song army attacked Luoyang, it was ambushed by the Mongol army and suffered heavy losses, and the Song army on all sides was defeated and retreated.

The Southern Song Dynasty court suffered heavy losses in this battle, and a large number of elite soldiers and materials were wasted, which also provided an excuse for the Mongol invasion of the Song Dynasty.

After the failure of Duanping into Luo, Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty felt that Mongolia was difficult to defeat, and he was a little disheartened, so he neglected political affairs, indulged in lustful dogs and horses, and the government was very bad.

In the second year of Duanping the following year, the Mongol army officially invaded the south for the first time, but was repelled by the Song army.

The Mongolian army was not reconciled, and invaded south again in September of the third year of Duanping, and the front of the troops was almost close to the north bank of the Yangtze River. However, due to the Song army's brave battle, it once again thwarted the Mongolian army's attempt to cross the Yangtze River to the south, and the Mongol army's southern invasion failed again this time.

Duanping for three years, which is what only happened last year, Yin Zhiping traveled all the way, and he had already found out a lot of news about the confrontation between the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia. In fact, he doesn't even need to make any special inquiries, every time he goes to a restaurant or restaurant to eat, almost everyone is talking about these things.

There are also stories of the cruelty of the Mongol army, burning, killing, looting, plundering, and plundering, and doing all kinds of evil. Whenever the people of the Song Dynasty talked about it, they all gritted their teeth and scolded. But as soon as they encountered the Mongols, they immediately silenced themselves and avoided from afar, for fear of being heard by the Mongols.

Yin Zhiping traveled all the way, and he also really slashed many Mongolian soldiers who were committing murder that he encountered. However, when he only encountered a small group of Mongolian troops, at most twenty or thirty people, when he encountered a Mongolian army brigade, he knew that it was difficult to defeat alone, and he could only endure himself.

Shortly after Yin Zhiping descended from Shaomu Mountain, on the day he stayed in Ruzhou, he heard the news that Mongolia was preparing for the third southern invasion.

After passing through Ruzhou and continuing to travel south, I saw the mobilization of Mongolian soldiers and horses in various places, and the number of encounters with Mongolian troops on the road increased greatly, sometimes several times in a day, and they all gathered on the Huaishui line in the south.

The Mongol army crossed the border and harassed the people along the road, and everywhere there was a chaotic scene of soldiers and horses, and the places where they passed were ten rooms and nine empty. Yin Zhiping went all the way south, and when he saw the people dragging their families into exile, and the Mongolian army was brutal and killed the people.

Yin Zhiping traveled to the left side of Yuncheng on this day, and when he passed through a village, he saw a group of Mongolian soldiers looting and killing in the village. The people in the village scattered and fled, crying for their fathers and mothers, and the Mongolian soldiers chased after them. All of them, young and old, were brutally killed. Some shoot with arrows, some poke with spears, some trample horses to death, and some drag people to death with ropes behind horses, and the methods are more cruel than the other. There were also many Mongolian soldiers who lit fires with torches, killed people and set fires, and did everything they could. ...,Full 'text.read' read,Please go to Bo $ to see @ small # say % net following ^ continue to read $ read >>>
