As Xin Youxuan, the young leader of the Huangshan school, expected, the battle of ambushing at the bottom of the Qujiang River only delayed the attack of mengge Khan on the fishing city.
It was a tactical victory, not a decisive strategic one.
Just as mengge Khan was negotiating to cross the river again, the guards outside the tent came in and announced that they were sent to Yunnan to see Kublai Khan's Jinbao.
As the secret personnel dispatched to the Sichuan garrison by the inspection and Quarantine Bureau, although the plan of the inspection and Quarantine Bureau was not fully realized, the chief and Deputy commanders of the Sichuan garrison successively cleaned them up.
It can be said that his attack is greater than his past.
Last time, after fleeing from the barracks of LV Wende, deputy commander in chief of the anti Mongolian war, he was worried that Xin Youxuan and Hongyin, the wise master, would hunt him down.
Did not dare to stay, ran back to mengge Khan.
In the past, when he was in Mongolia, mengge Khan once met this man and thought that this man was the best choice for his knowledge and strategy. At that time, he wanted to arrange him in his own army. Only later, Ali Buge, the seventh prince, let Jin Baoguo as a spy of the goukao Bureau and sneaked into the Sichuan garrison, which failed.
I'm glad they're here again.
Mengge Khan saw that in addition to Mongolian generals, he also collected useful talents from all countries for his use.
He thinks Jin Baoguo is good.
Therefore, mengge Khan made him a general and listened to him.
This time, when he went to the fourth prince, mengge Khan felt that he had to send someone who was safe.
He thought of Jin Baoguo.
This is Khan's order, what's more, people did not investigate the responsibility before themselves, Jin Baoguo agreed without hesitation.
"I've seen sweat." Entering the big account, Jin Baoguo bowed to the emperor and said, "I'm a Taoist.".
Mengge Khan waved to him and said, "don't be polite, general Jin."
"Hard work all the way." He added.
Jin Baoguo replied, "I dare not say hard work for you."
Then, he reported the trip to Mengo Khan.
After listening to mengge Khan, he said, "it seems that Ben Khan's fourth brother has done a good job in Dali. He has attacked the capital of Dali. Ben Khan really did not mistake him."
"It's all about Khan being useful." Jin Baoguo paid tribute to mengge Khan.
After hearing this, mengge Khan was very proud.
But then he sighed again.
"Why do you sigh?" When Jin Baoguo saw this, he asked him.
Without waiting for the Mongolian Khan to reply, his most trusted confidant told Jin Baoguo about the recent incident of crossing the Qujiang River at the expense of his troops.
"If this is the case, you need not worry about sweating." After hearing this, Jin Baoguo said.
Mengge Khan spirit, asked Jinbao National Road: "general, do you have a good way?"
"Please go down with Khan and the generals. "Jin Baoguo did not answer the order of mengge Khan, but told him.
With that, he made a gesture of invitation to mengge Khan.
Although I don't know what he meant, mengge Khan led the generals in the tent to the outside of the tent according to what Jin Baoguo said.
Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, knows that Sichuan, like Yunnan, has many rivers and lakes.
He took all the leather boats they used to cross the river to mengge Khan.
It's just that all he brought back were leather tankers that let off steam.
It will be the first time for mengge Khan and the public to see this kind of leather boat, and they don't know its purpose.
After listening to Jin Baoguo's introduction, I was overjoyed.
Let him test the boat immediately.
When he came to the Qujiang River, Jin Baoguo asked the sergeant to blow some of the leather boats full of air and put them on the Qujiang River.
The sergeant stood on the top, and really moved freely.
Mengge Khan said: "this boat is very convenient, good is good, but there are people who are proficient in water in the fishing city on the other bank. If they pierce this leather bag boat from the bottom of the water, it will be very bad."
"Moreover, you can see that the water in the zequ river has been very large recently." He added.
After hearing this, Jin Baoguo said, "Khan, you don't have to worry about this."
It turned out that he was a man of purpose. When he was lurking in the Sichuan Garrison for a long time, he kept an eye on all aspects of Sichuan.
How long is the rainy season every year and when it will end? Jinbao has a clear idea in mind.
When the rainy season is over, the water level of the Qujiang River will drop, and the flow will not be so fast.
At this time, the water of Qujiang River is very clear.
In the daytime, the bottom of the river can be seen in the shallower water. If the water-based sergeants on the other side of the fishing City lurk at the bottom of the water to destroy their leather boat, the sergeants standing on the leather boat can be seen completely.
At that time, they can use long weapons or bows and arrows to deal with the latent soldiers of the Song Dynasty.Listening to Jin Baoguo's words, mengge Khan laughed and said, "God helps me."
"We have plenty of cattle and sheep skins here. In addition to the existing leather boats, we can also make more leather boats. By that time, the speed of crossing the river will be faster." He added.
Jinbao National Road: "Khan, you are right."
"As long as Ben Khan leads the army to cross the Qujiang River smoothly, Ben Khan will reward you a lot." Mengge Dahan road.
With these words, he authorized Jin Baoguo to take full command of the crossing of Qujiang River according to the orders of the generals, and asked several generals to help Jin Baoguo do it.
Before the end of the rainy season,
Jin Baoguo and mengge Khan sent these generals to help him, so they selected a lot of skilled craftsmen from the army to make a large number of leather boats according to the appearance of the leather boats Jin Bao brought back.
When they had enough kayaks, the rainy season was almost over.
Jin Baoguo took the water proficient people in the Mongolian army to measure the water depth in the Qujiang River, where the water is shallow.
After today, they finally decided on a new place to cross the river.
In order to prevent the song army in Diaoyu City from engine attack when they crossed the river, the Mongolian army arranged artillery and super large crossbows on the Bank of Qujiang River.
Like Kublai Khan, the fourth prince, who crossed the river that time, the leather boat worked very well here.
In one morning, more than 50000 people crossed the river.
At the same time, they built floating bridges on both sides of the Qujiang River.
That is, at noon, the pontoon built with a leather boat was built.
In the afternoon, the kayak and the pontoon were going on at the same time, faster.
At the end of the day, half of the Mongolian army crossed the Qujiang River to the opposite side of the fishing city.
In the face of such a large-scale operation, Hongyin and Xin Youxuan, the wisdom masters in the fishing City, have no action.
This made mengge Khan very puzzled and said: "are these two people playing any tricks?"
Since last time, mengge Khan was a little afraid of these two people in his heart.
At night, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
I always worry about what will happen to the half Army crossing the Qujiang River.
Fortunately, after daybreak, nothing happened in the fishing city.
This time, mengge Khan was relieved.
After all the troops had passed the Qujiang River, he also passed the Qujiang River.
It has been said that the fishing city on the side of Qujiang River is built on the fishing mountain. There are some flat areas inside the fishing City, but there are few flat areas outside the fishing city.
Hundreds of thousands of troops crossed the Qujiang River and came to the fishing city. They could not all be stationed together. They could only be stationed separately.
There are suitable places for the army to be stationed, and some of them are stationed there.
Mengo Khan's camp was stationed opposite the main gate of the fishing city.
After arranging these, he gathered all the generals into his account to discuss the attack on the fishing city.
After all the generals came, mengge Khan didn't express his ideas first, but let the generals under his command speak first.
After he spoke, all the people will be you see, I see you, no one will speak first.
These generals don't know what Khan means, so they can't speak first. They worry that if they speak first, mengge Khan won't like it, but it's not good.
Before he became the Khan of Mongolia, mengge, as the eldest son of the thunder king, was the commander of the East and the West. After he became the Khan, he was still invincible.
It is in this fishing city in Sichuan that we have encountered setbacks.
It can be said that the generals dare not oppose their decisions.
Seeing that all the generals under his command did not speak, he called the roll and asked Wang Dechen to speak first.
As mengge Khan's confidant general, his master let himself speak, of course, he will not shirk.
"Now that you've asked me to speak, I'll talk about my opinion." Wang Dechen said.
In his opinion, the fishing city is built on the fishing mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
If it is forced to attack, the Mongolian army will certainly suffer heavy casualties, and may not be able to capture the fishing city.
Wang Dechen felt that it was better to shoot guns at the fishing city every day, launch rockets, and throw stones into the fishing city with a riprap machine.
In this way, the fishing city is restless day and night.
After a long time, the morale of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty led by Xin Youxuan and the sage Hongyin will be low. It will be natural for them to attack the fishing city at that time.
This is indeed a sound plan.
After hearing this, mengge Khan did not immediately express his opinion, but asked other generals what they thought.
In terms of marching and fighting, the Mongols have always been fearless of death and very fierce, which is also related to their hunting and grazing habits on the grassland since childhood.Over the years, they plundered a lot of wealth and land in the East and the west, and had concubines and luxury houses.
Once people have these things, they want to enjoy them, otherwise, they will lose the meaning of existence.
A strong attack will cause a large number of casualties. Although the first ones to die are the soldiers they belong to, they will also take the lead at the critical moment.
Sword and arrow don't have eyes. If you die, it's too late to regret.
Naturally, after listening to Wang Dechen's opinions, they all supported the idea of harassing the song soldiers in the fishing city first and attacking the fishing city after they were exhausted.
Listening to all the officers and men under his command say so, mengge Khan said, "from Ben Khan's point of view, you have all ignored a problem."
"What's the problem, Khan?" Wang Dechen asked.
"Mengge Khan replied:" according to your siege strategy, it will take a long time
"This is exactly what Khan said." Wang Dechen said.
Mengge Khan said: "our Mongolian army came from a long way to Helin. In the twinkling of an eye, we have a long way to go. After a long time, the logistics supply system of the army is difficult to support."
"Dahan, the fishing city is not big. Whether it's harassing the song army in the city every day or attacking them in the future, we don't need so many troops. In the view of the last general, we just need to keep the elite of these hundreds of thousands of troops in the fishing city for the war here, and use the rest of the army for logistics support." Wang Dechen said.
He added: "in this way, there will be no problem in the supply of grain and grass for the army."
Mengge Khan felt that in the past, Wang Dechen was always able to go with himself, but today, he felt that Wang Dechen didn't know what was wrong, just couldn't go with himself.
In the face of such a small fishing City, mengge Khan wanted to send out a large army to launch the most fierce attack on the fishing city from all directions and win the fishing city at one stroke.
After Wang Dechen finished his speech, mengge Khan frowned and asked coldly, "for an unknown fishing City, Ben Khan has to spend such a long time. Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?"
From what he said, Wang Dechen already felt that mengge Khan was a little unhappy.
Maybe it was because he took care of his face and didn't denounce Wang Dechen publicly.
Wang Dechen can still understand this.
Wang Dechen asked, "Khan, you mean "
" our Mongolian army has the best siege equipment and the bravest warriors in the East and the West. Ben Khan decided to win the fishing city in the shortest time. " Mengge Dahan replied.
He said boldly: "even if we dig this fishing mountain flat, we will not hesitate."
"Khan, you really deserve to be the first hero of Mongolia. You have the courage to do things." Jin Baoguo flattered mengge Khan and came forward to compliment mengge Khan.
He also said: "I have been in the army of the Song Dynasty for a long time. To tell you the truth, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty are decadent. Although there are many loyal people in their army, they are only a small part of them. They can't support the whole Song Dynasty which is about to fall."
"The general of Jin is right. Our Mongolian Khanate is rising like the sun, and the Zhao and Song dynasties are at an end of the day. The two can not be compared in the same day." Mengge Dahan road.
He accentuated his tone and said, "we lost a big battle last time. Don't be afraid of Xin Youxuan and Hongyin in the fishing city because of this. You don't have to be afraid of anything because of this big sweat."
"The mighty Khan Listen to mengge Khan say so, all the people bow to him and shout to him in unison.
