Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This period was described by Liu Kezhuang as "similar to the battle of Jiuchongyi".  Indeed, the Battle of Jiuchongyi also took advantage of the enemy's miscalculation of the Song Army's situation, causing them to be careless and advance rashly. However, the Song Army boldly left the city to set up an ambush. After Xiangyang's experience, the Zhenwu Army's combat effectiveness was enhanced, and it no longer needed to rely on vehicles.  The formation serves as a line of defense to block and surround the enemy, but instead uses hidden terrain to actively set up ambushes.  However, the results of this battle cannot be compared with Jiuchongyi. The only topic worth mentioning is that Zhang Shijie, who met Zheng Yunming as a prisoner in Jiuchongyi, this time as the vanguard cavalry of the Wei army, captured the enemy in the first battle.  Thirteen people in the army.  But after all, Marshal Wang Jun of Fenglong was also Wang Shixian's number one brave general. Seeing that all the vanguard troops were wiped out by the Song army, he did not rush forward recklessly to rescue. Instead, he bypassed Mao'er Mountain and approached Wuxin City from the east wing of Wuxin City.  But he also encountered an ambush from the Song army here.  Song generals Meng Ying, Zhang Hanying and Liu De each led their ambush troops to rush out together and started a fierce battle with Wang Jun's troops.  While Wang Jun was fighting the Song army, he was still calmly estimating the strength of the Song army. Even though there were thousands of troops fighting him face to face, he could still see faint dust flying in the direction of Wuxin City, and obviously there were also Song soldiers.  Army reinforcements are gathering here, and Maoershan can only annihilate an army of hundreds of armored cavalry with at least 3,000 people. It is obvious that the Song army gathered near Wuxin City has exceeded 10,000 people. This will  It was the first Song Dynasty army of more than 10,000 people that the Mongolian army encountered in Shu after killing Cao Youwen in Shukou.  It is obvious that this unit is a new unit sent to Sichuan by the Song Dynasty as temporary reinforcements from the war zone.  If the Mongols want to continue to plunder Sichuan next year, other difficulties aside, this army must be solved first.  Wang Jun determined his next action in an instant.  While he continued to struggle with Meng Ying's troops and horses, he detached hundreds of cavalry and took a small road to the side of Meng Ying's troops. Meng Ying's troops, facing attacks from two sides, had to retreat slowly.  The Mongolian army followed Meng Ying's army and horses unhurriedly, using brown sugar tactics. It was not until Meng Ying's troops retreated to the camp outside Wuxin City that Wang Jun saw clearly the true face of the Song army outside Wuxin City.  On the outskirts of the small town, there were military camps of the Song Army for several miles. They used thick logs packed with soil to build a wall more than one foot high, with soldiers guarding it.  The army put a lot of thought into setting up camp.  To be honest, Wang Jun looked down on such an army. The two armies met only with courage and vigor. They didn't expect to attack before they wanted to defend. The Jin Kingdom used the Yellow River as a trench and Tongguan as the gate. The iron wall they defended was as big as a pond. So what?  It was eventually defeated by the Mongolian army.  But to be honest, if you want to forcefully break through such a fortress, it will be difficult to do it without twenty or thirty thousand people.  Wang Jun had no choice but to use cavalry to monitor the Song army's camp, and at the same time send people to fly to report to Wang Shixian. Such a large military strength and such a guarded camp could only be solved by Wang Shixian himself.  But Wang Shixian only glanced at the camp from a distance and gave the order decisively: "Ignore what he did and withdraw!" Wang Jun was slightly surprised when he heard the coach's words. The Wang Shixian in his impression was not so timid and avoidant.  The man of war.  Whenever there is a battle, it is the commander-in-chief who holds the spear and rushes to the front with the soldiers.  The Song army gathered here today, which was a good opportunity to annihilate them all at once. Why did the commander-in-chief shrink back at this time?  Wang Shixian looked at Wang Jun's confused look and cursed fiercely: "We have been fighting for many years, but we still don't use our brains. You can see that this army and horses are heavily guarded, and you can see that it is difficult for us not to lose four to five thousand people.  Breaking through such a tight barrier. What's more, the soldiers have been fighting for a whole winter and are already exhausted. It is even more difficult to drive them to attack such a tightly protected fortress. " He made a circle with the riding whip in his hand: "Our army goes first.  If they retreat, then the Song army commander will definitely lead his troops to pursue them. He will surround them in the open land and defeat them in one fell swoop. "This is a commonly used tactic on the grassland to withdraw troops and retreat, and is often used to attract enemy troops to leave their defenses.  In a heavily fortified area, after they entered an undefended open area, our army immediately divided into three groups, outflanking them with the left and right wings, and then the three armies attacked together to annihilate the enemy.  So Wang Shixian immediately ordered the withdrawal, but left five thousand well-equipped cavalry for Wang Jun, allowing him to monitor the movements of the Song army behind him at any time.  But what caught Wang Shixian off guard was that the Song army behind him was not only motionless as a mountain, but also moved like the wind.  One day after the Mongolian army withdrew, the entire army immediately set off, marched for dozens of miles and entered Puzhou City before the Mongolian army could react. They still set up camp under Puzhou City, set up forts, and continued to fight with the retreating Mongolians.  Military confrontation.  Wang Shixian was surprised by the Song army's reaction. He had to re-examine the army in front of him. Even Cao Youwen, who he thought was worthy of fighting with him, never showed up when facing the enemy's surveillance.  In one day, in front of the enemyThe ability to march dozens of miles without being attacked by the enemy.  The leader of this Song army must be an extraordinary figure.  The next day, the Mongolian army continued to retreat north as usual, but Wang Shixian's general Wang Jun came to inform him of the change of deployment: "This time I will still give you five thousand troops behind you, but you don't have to follow the army back north. You can stay here and monitor it at any time."  Look at every move of the Song people. When the Song army moves out, they still follow it from a distance. When the Song army is ten miles away, they immediately send troops to fight the Song people. Then they send people on flying horses to report, and then I personally mention the army and the Song Dynasty.  "This is his absolute confidence in the Ganlong Cavalry. With the combat effectiveness of the Ganlong Cavalry, it is impossible to annihilate them all in just two or three hours. Even if the battle is unfavorable, they can still do it."  Retreating easily, the Song army, which was mainly infantry, was helpless against them.  When the two armies are fighting, if he leads the army in a two-wing attack, not to mention completely annihilating the Song soldiers, he can at least cause a lot of casualties to the Song soldiers.  He deduced the plan again and believed that there was no flaw in the plan. If the Song Army General was a famous general, he would definitely understand that this was just a variation of the trick to induce him to attack.  The best policy is to hold on to the city and watch the Mongolian army return north.  As for the Song army stationed in Puzhou, just as Wang Shixian speculated, there was no movement all day.  It seems that the other side has indeed seen through Wang Shixian's plan to lure the enemy, and is ready to sit back and watch the Mongolian army move north, and then follow behind to regain some unoccupied states and counties to take credit for their own achievements.  Although the failure to annihilate this group of enemies is a shortcoming of this southern expedition, the result will be the same when we try again next year.  At this moment, Wang Shixian's subordinates were driving thousands of people with their donkeys and mules loaded with captured animals, but they had no intention of engaging in a bloody battle with the tens of thousands of troops.  The army returned north along the highway and arrived near Chengdu within a few days.  There is a county called Lingquan near Chengdu, which is most famous for its Lingquan Mountain.  Lingquan Mountain was originally a place where rich people from Chengdu went for an outing to enjoy flowers. It is an excellent scenery near Chengdu.  But since the Mongols entered Sichuan, people along the road have been killed. People in the entire Lingquan County have either died or fled. The road at the foot of Longquan Mountain is littered with bones and crows are croaking loudly in the air. This place has long since turned into a hell.  .  Even Wang Shixian, a veteran who was accustomed to seeing massacres and deaths, couldn't help but feel secretly frightened while traveling on this hellish road.  And what good would it do to occupy Sichuan if we massacred all the way?  Without these people cultivating food, who would they look for to plunder when the army marches south again?  Wang Shixian was also very dissatisfied that Kuoduan listened to the lies of divination and easily ordered the massacre of the city.  The Mongols had their word first and dared to fire an arrow and massacre the entire city, but in fact the entire city of Chengdu could be regarded as almost intact. What practical significance would such a bestial massacre have if it aroused the resentment of the Sichuan people?  However, he often heard people say that the Mongols massacred countless cities during their Western Expedition. It is said that the great country of Khwarezm had three magnificent and magnificent cities, namely Samarkan, Balasagon, and Yulong Chijie, all of which had a large population.  Millions, it is as prosperous and prosperous as Tongdu Dayi in Chengdu.  All the cities were set on fire by the Mongols, and the three famous cities accumulated over the ages were instantly reduced to nothing. It is said that the Mongols have a saying that land is the only important thing in the world. The foreign people living on the land are redundant. Kill all the people and free up the land.  It was turned into grassland just for grazing sheep.  He didn't know what the Great Khan Ogedai was really thinking in his heart. He, Wang Shixian, would rather be a wealthy man supported by millions of farmers than follow the Great Khan to herd sheep on the grassland.  The army was moving forward, and suddenly people in front started shouting and making a noise.  Wang Shixian frowned. It was already dusk and the light was dim. We should have set up camp a long time ago. Because it was close to Lingquan Pass, we asked the troops to speed up and rush into Lingquan Pass to set up camp.  At this time, the former army was making trouble, which would definitely not be a good thing.  He urged his horse to catch up, but saw a city in front of him in darkness with no lights, and the city gates were closed tightly. It didn't look like there was anyone inside.  His second son, Wang Dechen, stood alone in front of the city gate and shouted curses.  Wang Dechen was only about sixteen years old at this time, but he had already experienced his first battle with his father. In the Battle of Yangpingguan, he took the lead and rushed into the Song army's formation with a spear in hand, rescuing Kuo Duan in distress. Kuo Duan was  This was highly appreciated and he was rewarded with fine armor and an iron sword.  But his impetuous young temper did not change at all. He stood in front of the city gate and cursed loudly: "All the talented people in Guancheng have gone somewhere to fight in the autumn wind. I want to enter the city. Let's open the city quickly."  Open the door and tell me to come in!"
