In the spring of the fourth year of Qianding in Xixia, the Mongolian army went south. After breaking through Heishui City on the northern border of Xixia, they entered Hexi, which was experiencing a severe drought. They captured cities and territories along the way and were invincible wherever they went.
In March, Shazhou was captured, the famous Xixia general Ji Lasiyi died for his country, and Shazhou City was burned to the ground;
In the fifth month, Suzhou could not be surrendered. After the city was broken, Xili Asha, the nephew of Xili Qianbu, the Mongolian general, was appointed as the hereditary Daruhuachi of Suzhou. The rest of the city's residents were all killed.
In June, Ganzhou was besieged, and the Mongolian envoys summoned Xia Ganzhou's garrison general Qu Yeqiolü. Deputy General Achuo and other 36 people killed Qu Yeqiolu and the Mongolian army envoys, and led the soldiers and civilians in the city to resist in a bloody manner. The city was captured, and 36 people including A Chuo died for their country, but the people were spared.
In July, the Xia governor of Liangzhou, Ouzhaqi, surrendered to Kaicheng. The army and the people were saved. The Mongolian army occupied Xiliang Mansion. The defenders all went out with the Mongolian army. Only 500 Mongolian cavalry and more than 2,000 local old, weak, sick and disabled people were left. Surrender troops.
Genghis Khan led the Mongolian army to attack the Xingling land of Xixia. Liangzhou surrendered General Ouzhahui to transport grain and grass for the Mongolian army, provide civilian men, and worked hard and dedicated to the Mongolian army to destroy Xia.
Last night, he had a heart-to-heart fight with several women. He slept very late. In the morning, he was still dreaming and drooling. The rapid knock on the door woke him up.
"Ms. sir, something big has happened!"
"Why are you knocking so early in the morning? Has anyone died in your house?"
Ozachuan was furious and cursed impatiently.
Mongolian cavalry dominates the world, what nonsense can happen?
"The Tatar cavalry drank in the street and kidnapped two women, and then..."
The guard was hemming and hawing outside the room. Ouzha Chuan was completely sleepless and sat up all of a sudden.
"If you fart quickly, what happens next?"
The waist ached and the back ached, and Wuzha Chuan cursed her mother secretly.
Government affairs are complicated, and my health is not as good as before.
"Yes, yes, yes! The woman's family killed a Tatar cavalry. The Tatar cavalry gathered together and chopped down anyone they saw in the city. They killed many people and half the street was dyed red. The family of the deceased came to the Yamen Screaming injustice. What do you think my husband will do?"
The guard was outside the door and had to speak clearly.
"Why don't you ask me about this trivial matter? Drive them all away! They have offended the Tatars. Do they want to be massacred? Don't involve me!"
The guard was about to leave, but was stopped by Ozhaqi impatiently.
"Remember! If you come to complain, pick a few wealthy people and put them in jail, and say they were arrested by the Tatars. Go quickly!"
The guard quickly responded, turned and left.
My husband will definitely make a lot of money from this public complaint.
"Damn it, I don't want to provoke anyone, but I want to provoke the Tatars! Can you afford to provoke them?"
After this incident, Ouzhaqi could no longer sleep. He cursed, got dressed, and left the room.
"Ms. sir, it's not good! It's not good!"
While he was playing with the birds in the courtyard, the guard ran in again in a panic, shouting as he ran.
Ouzhaqi opened his eyes in dissatisfaction and cursed loudly.
"What's wrong with you Niang? What's going on? Is your father or your mother gone again?"
"Ms. Gong, outside the city... there is a large army of officers and soldiers outside the city, thousands of them!"
The guard cursed inwardly and gasped.
"Where did the officers and soldiers come from? Can you see where they came from?"
Ozachuan's heart tightened. Could it be the bandits from all walks of life in Hexi?
Just those stragglers, what's so scary?
"My lord, you see clearly, they are the army of the Song Dynasty. There are about three to five thousand people, and the formation is a bit scary!"
The guard replied quickly.
"The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty? Why did they come to Hexi?"
Ozachuan's expression changed and he strode out.
"Go quickly and tell the Tatar army to go to the city immediately! Get out of here!"
The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty would not come to Hexi for no reason. Let’s see, is it a blessing or a curse?
"Yes! Mr. Xian!"
The guard cursed secretly and followed out of the backyard.
The city gates of Liangzhou were closed tightly, and the soldiers and government officials on the city walls looked outside the city curiously. The densely packed heads, the gleaming armored artillery pieces, and the tofu cubes really looked like an elite division.
On top of the city, Liangzhou soldiers and government officials, a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, who were frightened by the Mongolian army, were not afraid at all, but just curious.
Having seen the invincibility of the Mongolian cavalry, the thousands of "elites" outside these city gates are just show-offs, perhaps not even as good as themselves.
"General, general..."
Ouzhaqi, who was looking a little confused, quickly got out of the way when he saw several arrogant Mongolian generals approaching.
"Is this Song Bing?"
Zhemier looked at Song Jun outside the city and frowned slightly.
The news that Subutai suffered heavy losses in the Song Dynasty was not widely publicized among the Mongolian army. The Mongolian army stationed in Hexi did not get much news about the battle between the Song and Mongolian armies. Even when Genghis Khan died of illness, the funeral was not announced secretly, and the coffin was transported to The thousands of Mongolian troops stationed in the grasslands and Hexi did not receive much news.
Song Meng's well water does not interfere with the river water. Why did these Song troops come to Hexi?
"General, these Song troops outside the city are murderous, and they look at those who come with bad intentions!"
Ozachuan said with an apologetic smile on his face.
"They're just fake. Go ask these Song soldiers, what are they doing here?"
Zhemier said disdainfully and sat down on the chair that belonged to Ozhaqi on the city wall.
He didn't care about the mere thousand infantry.
Ozachui signaled, and the guards shouted loudly from the top of the city.
"Are you the Song Army? Why did you come to Hexi?"
"Listen, we are the Song Army. Hexi is under the rule of the Song Dynasty. We are here to take over Hexi. Open the city gate quickly, or we will attack the city. By then, all the jade and stone will be destroyed, and no chickens or dogs will be left!"
The Song army outside the city shouted loudly.
There was a commotion among the defenders on the top of the city, and Wozhaqi was also shocked.
These Song troops were indeed here to cause trouble.
"Quiet Nianang! Ouzhaqi, what did they say?"
Zhemier stopped the commotion on the city and asked with a dark face.
"General, they told you to get out, otherwise they will attack the city and kill us without leaving any chickens or dogs!"
Ozachuan said cautiously with a smile on his face.
"These Song dogs have such a loud tone. They really don't know how to live or die!"
Zhemier sneered and stood up.
"Ozhahui, you march on the top of the city. I will take the Mongolian warriors out of the city. After defeating the Song army, I will capture a few and bring them back, skinned and cramped, so you can take a good look."
Ouzhaqi smiled and nodded repeatedly.
"General, be careful! I will go prepare the food and wine now and wait for the general's triumphant return!"
The east gate of Liangzhou City opened wide, and thousands of Mongolian troops filed out. Everyone was wearing armor, with full quivers, and cavalry. They beat their horses and marched, with smoke and dust flying, their faces ferocious, and howling wildly, like demons on earth.
On top of Liangzhou City, Ouzhaqi looked at the Song Army formation in the distance, sneered disdainfully, and immediately gave the order.
"Hurry up and get people to prepare food and wine and wait for the army to return victoriously!"
These Song soldiers looked a bit cool, and it was too late to cry for father and mother.
Ma Zhong stood in the large formation, with the surrounding chariots forming a circular artillery position. He stared at the rushing Mongolian cavalry with a sinking face.
In Langao Town in the Song Dynasty, the scene where he and Cheng Xin's reinforcements were shot and killed by the Mongolian cavalry was still floating in front of his eyes.
So this time, the artillery and carriage positions had been prepared early. Seeing the Mongolian cavalry coming out, Ma Zhong's face also darkened.
The Mongolian cavalry roared wildly while beating their horses, circling in a circle, began to accelerate, and rushed towards the Song army's position like a violent storm.
These Mongolian cavalry were used to winning battles and were arrogant. With only a thousand cavalry, they dared to attack the Song army's position of three thousand troops. And looking at their complacent looks, they seemed to have a plan in mind and they were sure to win.
"Get ready to fight!"
Ma Zhong said coldly, and the Chinese military command flag was waved down heavily.
In the battle of Langao Town that day, his good friends Ma Yi and Wang Ping were all killed in the battle, and few of his comrades were left, thanks to the Mongol army.
"Reload!"
Wu Feng's voice sounded, the officers shouted loudly, and the gunners became busy.
The Mongolian cavalry roared in, the cavalry rolled, and the smoke rose. They surrounded the Song army's circular formation, and soon reached a distance of about 200 steps, and sparse arrows had been shot.
Some Song Army recruits were pale, trembling, and breathing rapidly. However, the formation was tight and there were veterans and officers holding the formation, so there was no panic.
"Anyone who escapes from battle will be killed without mercy!"
Seeing that the new recruits were nervous and frightened, the officers shouted angrily. The recruits calmed down, faced forward, and tightened their grip on the swords and guns in their hands.
"200 steps!"
The observing gunner shouted loudly.
Wu Feng's face was cold, his left sleeve was empty, and he pulled out a knife with his right hand.
His left hand was cut off by the Mongolian army in Langao Town, Song Dynasty.
Speaking of which, he and Ma Zhongnan, two defeated generals from Langao Town, became the vanguard of the Song army's advance into Hexi.
This shameful humiliation and the revenge of my broken hand, I must avenge it this time!
At 200 steps, the feather arrows of the Mongolian cavalry did not have much lethality.
"150 steps!"
The observing gunner shouted again. Many arrows flew into the Song army's formation. Although there were artillery carts and shields, some soldiers were shot down and killed.
The Mongolian cavalry rained arrows and flew towards the Song army's formation. They were riding thousands of horses, shouting and shouting randomly. Most of the Mongolian knights immediately fired their arrows and even gave up their reins, which shows their superb riding skills.
At the same time, Wu Feng pointed the long knife in his hand and shouted angrily.
"fire!"
The red flag in the flag officer's hand was waved heavily, and the Song Army's artillerymen pressed the red-hot iron on the match rope and squatted down one after another, everyone covering their ears.
"Puffy!"
The artillery body shook, smoke filled the air, and countless iron balls and pellets came out of the gun, hitting their heads and faces, tearing the air, and went straight towards the sudden Mongolian cavalry from the ring formation.
The thunderous sound of artillery came from outside the city. Ouzhaqi, who was calmly watching the battle at the top of the city, was startled and subconsciously stood up.
The lazy guards on the top of the city also seemed to have woken up from a dream. They stood up straight, opened their eyes wide, and looked towards the killing field outside the city.
The artillery roared and the smoke filled the air, just like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The galloping and roaring Mongolian cavalry fell off their horses in large swaths. The original cavalry formation suddenly became much sparser.
The sound of "pengpengpeng" artillery continued, and the second and third rounds of shelling sounded one after another. The beaten Mongolian cavalry turned their horses around hastily and retreated. The Mongolian knights fell off their horses like dumplings. The men and horses were bruised with blood, the war horses screamed, and the wounded screamed. It was a tragic scene of iron and blood.
It was just four rounds of shelling, and most of the thousand Mongolian cavalry were killed or injured. The remaining ones were terrified and fled around in panic, gathering many large and small cavalry formations of more than ten or twenty people.
Ozachuan's face was pale, his hands were on the city wall, his joints were blue and white, and his body seemed to be shaking.
The guards behind Ozachui looked at each other and then moved away.
"My lord, look! The Song cavalry!"
Ouzhaqi's guard suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted loudly.
Ouzhaqi was shocked again. He looked up and saw countless Song cavalry rolling in from all directions in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Liangzhou City, forming a siege to the disintegrating Mongolian cavalry.
"Is this really...the cavalry of the Song Army?"
Amidst the surprised sounds of Orzhaqi, the Song army cavalry in the field fired crossbows and arrows, blocking out the sky and the sun. The remaining Mongolian cavalry were shot off their horses one after another, and the remaining ones fled in a hurry towards the east gate of Liangzhou.
"Quick! Open the city gate!"
Ouzhahui shouted loudly and ordered his men to open the city gate and let the remaining Mongolian cavalry enter the city.
"You idiots are still doing it in a daze..."
The guards all bowed their heads and remained silent. Wozhaqi was furious and scolded his subordinates angrily. Just as he raised the whip in his hand, he was hit on the back, which hurt him so much that he could not speak.
The guard behind Ozachui drew his gun and hid aside. Ouzhaqi's back was dripping with blood, his whole body was weak, and he leaned against the city wall.
He was also a famous warrior in Xixia. Unexpectedly, he was accidentally plotted by his own guards.
"Why do you want to harm me? I treat you well on weekdays!"
The gunshot wound was not fatal. Ouzhaqi leaned against the city wall and looked left and right. It seemed that there was no other good way to escape except jumping off the city wall.
"You are such a dog official, helping the Tatars to harm the people, you should die long ago!"
"Kill this bastard!"
"Kill this bitch!"
Several guards had ferocious eyes and cursed angrily. They swarmed forward, swords and guns raised. The seriously injured Wenzhaqi soon turned into a pile of flesh as he begged for mercy.
"No one is allowed to move!"
A few guards took over the city wall, and the thousands of soldiers at the top of the city were silent, and no one said a word.
"Look! The Tatar cavalry is about to be killed!"
On the top of the city, suddenly a soldier shouted loudly. The "Mongolian soldiers" on the city wall all looked outside the city. Smoke and dust were flying around Liangzhou City, and there were a lot of moving horse heads. The Song army's iron cavalry rolled towards the remaining Mongolian troops below the city.
The Mongolian cavalry at the city gate shouted and cursed, but the city gate never opened. The surging Song army fired arrows, blocking out the sky and the sun. Several rounds of artillery went down, destroying everything. The Mongolian cavalry outside the city gate were shot into hedgehogs, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere.
After the fighting outside the city ended, the city gate of Liangzhou slowly opened, and the officials in the city bowed at the gate of the city with great humility.
"From now on, this place will be called Wuwei County. Of course, it can also be called Liangzhou privately."
Ma Zhong sat on the horse and stood in front of the city gate, looking at the majestic Liangzhou City, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
This is the advantage of having large cavalry. Finally, the Song army had the majesty of when Yue Wumu carried the Wei army with thousands of horses galloping on its back.
"Whether it is Liangzhou or Wuwei County, they are all under my rule, the Song Dynasty!"
Wu Feng followed up on horseback and added angrily.
The Song army filed into this important town in Hexi that had been separated from the Central Plains Dynasty for hundreds of years, announcing that the Song Dynasty had regained possession of this important town in Hexi.
"There will be another chapter later, thank you!"
