It is said that the four ghosts of the Yellow River now all hold the position of commander-in-chief.
Thinking back on how young these four people were, they first followed Wanyan Honglie, and later Yang Kang, but they have never been treated like the commander-in-chief they are today. They seem to have seen the scene of being crowned king and prime minister in their lifetime, so, How could he not sacrifice his life to Yang Guo at this time?
…
After a while, Nanyang's city gate opened wide.
In fact, this was somewhat beyond the expectations of the Mongolian vanguard.
They thought that the Song army would be more stubborn and would at least surrender when they saw a large group of Mongolian troops appearing at the gate of the city. But what they didn't expect was that the Song army defending the city was actually defeated by a small team of their own. The pioneer was so frightened that he opened the city gate directly.
"Hahahaha", a general of the Mongolian army laughed and said: "The Song people are really weak and they surrendered directly. It doesn't matter, hurry up and prepare some good wine and food for the grandfathers. There are also not a few beautiful girls."
"If you low-class people make grandpas unhappy, you will be killed and no one will be left alive."
While talking, these hundreds of Mongolian troops rode into Nanyang.
However, when the leading Mongolian general had just entered the city more than a hundred steps, he felt a hint of murderous intent.
They are all people who are used to killing on the battlefield. Maybe their feelings are not accurate on other things, but when it comes to matters of life and death, their feelings are always right.
"No, it's an ambush. Get out quickly."
Just as the Mongolian general shouted these words, an arrow pierced his throat.
"Kill them all."
After Wan Yanping said something, hundreds of arrows were shot from the places on both sides of the city gate where the Song army had laid an ambush in advance.
Arrows like migratory locusts in the sky caught the Mongolian army off guard, and dozens of them fell off their horses.
And just after this round of arrows, the second round followed.
When Yang Guo was training these Song Army soldiers a few days ago, he emphasized the problem of intermittent firepower. Simply put, it means that there should not be too much time between the first round of attacks and the second round of attacks. Long, it is necessary to ensure continuity when attacking and killing enemies, and not intermittent.
What a pity for the two hundred or so Mongolian soldiers who entered Nanyang City first.
They are also people who have experienced hundreds of battles. If they were on other battlefields, the bloody bravery of these two hundred people might be able to defeat a Song army of two thousand people in front. But now, they are no more than mature. It’s just the experience points that Yang Guo gained on his way to success.
Most of this Mongolian army died in the city, and the remaining ones just had not had time to enter the city. This is also thanks to the Mongolian army officer who was the first to die. He discovered the problem early, otherwise, everyone would have been killed. The fate of annihilation.
Standing on the top of the city, looking at the dozens of Mongolian troops escaping, Yang Guo still felt a little regretful.
After all, I'm afraid things will never be so cheap again.
…
Two quarters of an hour later, Wan Yanping returned to Yang Guo: "Brother, the matter has been settled. We have killed all the more than two hundred Mongolian troops who dared to enter the city."
"More than a hundred intact war horses were even captured."
Yang Guo smiled and said: "The war horse is a good thing now, keep it and take good care of it."
"If the day comes when we run out of food, these war horses will be ready-made food."
"But we must also remember that no one is allowed to have any ideas about these war horses until they are about to starve to death."
This first small battle before the official start of the war can be said to be a particularly smooth victory.
The reason is naturally attributed to the fact that the Mongolian army underestimated the enemy from top to bottom. For many years, they had been invincible. They did not expect that they would still have the courage to conquer a city that was bound to be captured on the way to conquer the Song Dynasty. Doing something like laying an ambush.
…
Time flies, and it’s the morning of the third day in a blink of an eye.
There was still just a trace of fish belly white on the horizon, but at this moment, Yang Guo's door was suddenly knocked by a girl from Baituoshan: "Young Master, Shen Qing just came to report that a large number of Mongolian troops have appeared under the city. , maybe tens of thousands of people."
Yang Guo suddenly opened his eyes.
He quickly put on his shoes, then arranged his clothes and walked out of the room: "Thank you for your hard work, girl."
"Go and inform the right protector and ask her to bring Lord Zhizhou to the city. I'll go first."
The girl from Baituoshan knew that the situation was urgent. After responding, she quickly went to the room of her right guardian sister.
About two quarters of an hour later, the sun in the sky had risen slightly, and Yang Guo also arrived at the top of the city.
Looking around, the Mongolian army outside the city, although it is only a light cavalry force of more than 10,000 people, is in strict formation, with flags fluttering, and full of murderous intent.
Yang Guo said to the four ghosts of the Yellow River who hurried to his side: "See, as an army, we must at least reach this point."
"When will you four train our soldiers to be like this?"
The Four Ghosts of the Yellow River were a little embarrassed. They wanted to train the army to look like the Mongolian army under the city. Even they themselves were not sure how long it would take.
…
Speaking of Nanyang nowadays, almost everyone in the Song army knows that the real caller is Yang Guo.
When the Mongolian army suddenly arrived at the city, all of them, including the Four Ghosts of the Yellow River, were actually very frightened. However, when they saw Yang Guo's calmness and calmness, he seemed to be strategizing and winning against the enemies thousands of miles away. When they looked like this, they felt a little relieved.
This is why the general can stabilize the morale of the army. If even the boss is panicked, then the people below will be even more panicked.
At this moment, a Mongolian army rode forward and said: "Everyone in the city, listen, more than two hundred of our Mongolian warriors died in Nanyang City the day before yesterday. You used a trick to trick my warriors into entering the city, and then killed them. Khan was very angry when he heard about this.”
"But the Great Khan was merciful and willing to give the people in the city a chance to live."
"Immediately open the city and surrender, and respectfully welcome our Mongol soldiers into the city. The Great Khan has ordered that after entering the city, only the first culprit will be executed."
"If you and others stubbornly resist, after our Mongolian soldiers enter the city, you will end up with no chickens or dogs left."
After Yang Guo heard this, he snatched a divine arm bow from the hands of the Song army soldiers beside him, bent the bow and nocked an arrow, and shot the arrow through the chest of the man who was shouting.
No words needed, this is the best answer.
"The general is mighty."
Wanyanping, who had arrived out of nowhere, suddenly shouted.
After Wan Yanping's prompting, the Song army at the top of the city finally reacted and immediately shouted the words "General Mighty".
Looking at the Mongolian army, they saw that their soldiers were shot and killed directly in front of the formation, and they were naturally very angry. However, they were too far away from the city head, otherwise, someone would definitely recognize the one who fired the arrow. The man’s name is Yang Guo.
