Chapter 2 Soldiers approaching the city (1)
Gaoting Mountain is the eastern part of the Tianmu Mountain system, forty miles north of Lin'an, and is the last gateway to Lin'an. If Gaoting Mountain is lost, the Mongolian army can appear under Lin'an City within an hour. At this time, the Mongolian army has appeared at the foot of Gaoting Mountain, lined up in neat battle formations, preparing to launch a strong attack and take down the last barrier in Lin'an.
Since the Mongolian army captured Xiangfan, and then led by the former Xiangyang guardian Lu Wenhuan, he surrendered the defensive generals in Jiang, crossed the Yangtze River to capture Nanjing, Zhenjiang and Changzhou, he has won successive victories. It has been a foregone conclusion that the army is approaching the city of Lin'an. The Southern Song Dynasty court had to strengthen the defense of Gaoting Mountain, and Gaoting Mountain has become a solid city.
The neat queue, distinctive armor, swords and guns, people are like dragons, horses and tigers, and their momentum are like rainbows. The Mongolian army was able to traverse the Eurasian continent, conquer half of the world, and create the largest empire in human history. It was not the favor of the goddess of luck, but the best army in the world at that time.
Boyan was wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, and was majestic. He had a yellow-brown horse under his crotch, a pair of silver ornaments and carved saddles. He was an extraordinary horse. This was a good horse from Damascus produced in Asia. Boyan was a postman under Hulagu, the founder of the Ily Khanate. Since then, this war horse has followed him to fight south and north. (Note: Hulagu was the commander of the third western expedition of Mongolia. He conquered the current Middle East, defeated Iran, and came to the Mediterranean, and founded the Ily Khanate.)
Boyan looked at Changzhou and praised: "What a majestic city! When will Buber arrive?"
Since Kublai Kan adopted Guo Kan's suggestion and implemented the central government's breakthrough strategy, he has been constantly attacking Xiangfan. Unfortunately, Xiangfan's strong city was a tough city, and even the generals could not be captured. In desperation, Kublai Khan ordered the cannons who made artillery from Persia, Alaowading and Yisimayin, to come to Dadu and were ordered to build artillery. The cannons they made were the famous "Huihui cannons". They made contributions to Fancheng in the first battle, and the first shot to fight Xiangyang collapsed the watchtower in Xiangyang. Lu Wenhuan was scared and had to surrender. Therefore, Huihui cannons had another name, "Xiangyang cannon".
Hui Hui cannon showed his skills in the battle for Xiangfan. Kublai Khan attached great importance to it and immediately established Hui Hui gunners camp, rewarding Alaowatin and Yisimain. Yisimain died young and his title was inherited by his son Buber. Buber was deeply inspired by his father's true teachings and was also an excellent cannon craftsman and gunner, who followed the army of Boyan.
Deputy General Alahan stood beside Boyan in military uniform and said, "The Huihui cannon is bulky and inconvenient to transport. It cannot keep up with the speed of the army. It will take half a month to arrive."
Boyan's eyebrows were snatching the city, saying, "I won't wait, I'll attack the city."
With his order, the Mongolians rushed down the city like locusts, set up ladders to start siege, and the battle of Gaoting Mountain, which has been famous in history, began.

Under Lin'an City, the people supported the elderly and the young, and brought their families to the Lin'an City. The Mongolian army was known for its brutality, and they would slaughter the city wherever they went, killing the creatures. Now they have arrived at Gaoting Mountain. When this news came, the people were panicked and fled quickly and fled to Lin'an, the only safe haven.
However, Lin'an was not their ideal refuge place. The Lin'an city gate was not opened for them. Instead, the suspension bridge was hung high and the city gate was closed. The city was full of archers, and the bow was bent and arrows were aimed at them.
"June, you can do it, let's go in. We are ordinary people and have no place to go."
"If we don't let us enter the city, we will not be able to survive when the Tartars come."
The city gate official waved his hand impatiently and said unbearablely: "Go and go, don't argue here. No matter how fierce you argue, it's useless. This is what the above means, not that I refuse. I know you are pitiful. I can understand your mood. My heart is also fleshy, but I dare not open it if the above does not allow me to open the door. There are no benefits for you to come in. There are too many people in the city, so you should be careful when walking, and don't step on the little feet of your wife. There are so many places to escape, so go to other places."
"June Jun, we kneel down for you, okay. June June, you are our grandfather." The people knelt in tears, knelt down like a pole, and cried out in the city. The crying sounded, and the pleading was everywhere, destroying their hearts.
The city gate official pointed at the city and didn't say anything for a long time. He pulled a soldier over and said, "I'm going to pee, you can deal with it." Without waiting for the soldiers to react, he quickly left.
The soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll deal with it? How do I deal with it?" He grabbed a soldier and said, "Brother, please help me with it, my little wife is looking for me."
The soldier said in a daze: "Where do you have a young wife? Hello, don't leave."

"You will know the quarrel." Xie Daoqing sat on the imperial throne, knocking on the ground with a dragon-headed crutch and said impatiently: "It's a war, a peace, and after so long, I haven't reached a conclusion. How to fight, how to fight, I have to come up with a plan. How to fight, I have to send someone to make peace. And you, Chen Yizhong, you said you want to move the capital, where to move? Do you have any plans?" He stood up and said: "It's a quarrel, a quarrel, and there's no conclusion, and it's a verbal battle. The emperor is still fainting, and the old woman is going to see the emperor, and there's no time to listen to your endless quarrels." He left with a cane, supported by the palace maid, and left behind a shocked minister.
Xie Daoqing came to the emperor's bedroom and looked up at the bed. He saw a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a dragon robe, lying quietly on the dragon bed, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a national face with a faint domineering spirit, which was quite heroic.
"Your Majesty, wake up quickly." Xie Daoqing sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Li Jun on the bed lovingly, and turned around and asked, "Chang Yu, the emperor has been back in the palace for several months, his wound has healed, and his body has become strong, but he just can't wake up. You have to think of a way to wake up the emperor as soon as possible."
Chang Yu was the best imperial physician in the imperial palace of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was of medium size, round face, and slightly fat. He hurriedly said: "Please rest assured that Shouhe Shengfu, I will do my best, and I will do my best." Shouhe Shengfu was the honorary title given to Xie Daoqing by Emperor Duzong.
"You always say this. After a few months, the emperor is still the same and has no intention of waking up at all." Xie Daoqing was dissatisfied and said, "The old lady is exploring and it is not enough not to give you a specified deadline. Just three days, you have to wake up the emperor within three days." Although he did not say the consequences of not being able to wake up within three days, anyone would like to get it, that is, beheading.
Chang Yu and the Imperial Doctors are not trying their best, but Li Jun's illness is too bizarre. They can't wake up after using all their methods. If Li Jun really can't wake up, what's the use of beheading all the doctors in the Song Dynasty?
