Chapter 120 The Battle of Chengdu (2)

Chapter 120: The Battle of Chengdu (2)

The Song army's airtight formation seemed to be split by a giant axe, and separated to both sides, leaving a passage. A group of people came from the distance of the passage, and all the imperial chariots and ceremonial guards were out. The Imperial Guards rode high-headed horses with extraordinary momentum, surrounded by one person.

This man was wearing a royal robe, a crown, and was seven feet tall. He was dignified and majestic. He rode a white horse with a silver saddle and white horse, which was very compatible. He rode his horse without any speed or slowness, but he felt like a mountain moving, giving people a sense of oppression. His progress was so unswerving that nothing could stop him, and even if Mount Tai was in front of him, he would push him away.

If it weren't Li Jun, who else could it be? The Chengdu Battle was launched, and this was the last battle in Sichuan. The Song army surrounded Chengdu and the passes were closely guarded by the Song army. I believe that the Mongols could not send out the news that he appeared in Chengdu. They decided to fight a war of ceremonies, inspire the morale of the army, and strive to take Chengdu in one go, and give an explanation to Zhang Jue, the military and civilians who had persisted in the War of Resistance for 20 years.

Walking beside Li Jun were Jie Jin, Euro Junxing, Chen Yizhong, Zhang Jue, Zheng Jinghe and Liu Hezi were responsible for attacking from three directions, not in the east, so they did not follow.

"It's indeed unique." Shu Su suddenly looked at Li Jun with extraordinary aura and couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

Li Jun kept waving his hands while he was marching and greeting the soldiers. When he arrived in front of the formation, Li Jun looked up at the Shusukuli on the top of the city and did not speak for a long time. Li Jun has long heard of this person who once gave Meng Ge a strange plan in history books and has wanted to see it. Unexpectedly, he finally got what he wanted today, so he naturally had to take a good look.

"Is Shuhuli in the city?" Li Jun raised his horse whip and asked, pointing at Shuhuli on the top of the city.

Shu Su suddenly clasped his fists and replied, "That's right. Mr. Zhao came to my Dayuan land, and caused a disaster and the people were in trouble. This is actually an unwise move. I also asked Mr. Zhao to understand the heart of heaven, follow the people's wishes, stay away from my Dayuan land, and maintain peace in the realm."

This person is really eloquent. It was obvious that the Mongolian occupied the territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, but when he came to his mouth, he actually told him that it was Li Jun occupying the land of the Yuan Dynasty. Only a person with extremely thick skin, who could say it.

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately caused a commotion. It was caused by the unanimous heart of the soldiers and the excitement of the crowd. If the Song army had not been extremely strict, it could have imagined that they would have started to curse long ago.

Jie Jin was already holding his right hand on the hilt of the knife and said angrily: "Tartars, I will chop off your dog's head with my own hands later."

Euro Junxing looked resentful, his teeth clenched, and he muttered: "The Tartars are so thick-skinned."

Chen Yizhong shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, this principle does not work."

Li Jun still looked as usual, without any change, as if Shu Suhuliuli had not said anything, and retorted: "Shu Suhuliuli is such a bad word. Sichuan, Sichuan of the Song Dynasty, is not Sichuan of Mongolia. Twenty years ago, Mengge became violent and became greedy for our territory of the Song Dynasty, invaded Xichuan, occupied Chengdu, and Chengdu burned you to burn it and turned into scorched earth. No one who caused the disaster was right. The net of heaven was vast and sparse but did not leak it. Mengge finally fished

It is his retribution under the city of Yucheng. Today, I have raised a large army to silence the people and punish the crimes, restore the mountains and rivers, the king's army is everywhere, the people return to their hearts, and welcome them together. How foolish you are trying to resist the victorious army of the court with only tens of thousands of defeated soldiers! I give you a chance to survive and make you surrender. If you surrender, I will protect your life and be glorious. If you want to fight to the death, my army will be destroyed by waiting for the city. Should you surrender now, or not?"

Li Jun's words not only refuted Shu Suhuli's fallacy, but also contained the meaning of intimidation, which was tantamount to an ultimatum.

Shu Suhuli didn't understand the reason for its power. If he did not surrender, he would naturally be defeated but not defeated after this battle. If he surrendered, he would be the first Mongolian general to surrender in Sichuan. He would never do this. He smiled bitterly: "Mr. Zhao's beautiful intentions and wisdom are grateful. Shu Suhuli is the emperor's kindness, and he can only repay his death."

"Today's Song Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty of the past. It is about restoring the mountains and rivers, but it is against the enemy outside the country. You are a wise man, good at judging the situation and knowing the way of going against others. You must think twice." Li Jun then persuaded surrender, saying, "Only fools can fight a battle that they know they cannot win."

"Only fools can fight a battle that they know they cannot win" is a famous saying by Genghis Khan, and a quibble saying by Genghis Khan after he first set off a military force to escape from the battlefield. Li Jun quoted it as a reminder of Shusuhuli.

Shusuhuli still refused to surrender, saying, "In the past, I saw General Wang Jian in Diaoyu City politely refusing Khan to surrender. Although many years have passed, the past is still vivid in my mind. Shusuhuli is not talented, and I am willing to follow General Wang Jian and be loyal to Your Majesty."

Shu Suhuli personally participated in the Battle of Diaoyu City and knew very well what happened. After being surrounded by a heavy siege, he finally thought of Wang Jian, the former opponent, and just realized Wang Jian's feelings of perseverance, so he said it out.

Although Sun Tzu's Art of War has the saying that "a defeated the enemy without fighting", it is a great thing to be able to surrender Shusuhuli, and to take down Chengdu without blood, but it is too difficult to be able to surrender Shusuhuli without fighting. Li Jun did not have much hope in persuading Shusuhuli to surrender Shusuhuli, and he said: "Since that's the case, then use iron and blood to solve it!" This sentence is very imposing and determined to be free.

He pulled his horse's head and faced the formation, and began pre-war lectures. He looked around the soldiers with a tiger's eyes. All the soldiers' eyes were filled with a keen light. This was a manifestation of their will to fight. Li Jun was very satisfied, nodded and praised, and said, "Soldiers: Do you know what I saw in your eyes?"

How could the soldiers know the answer to this question? However, Jie Jin, a clever ghost, is extremely clever. He knows how to answer it, and shouts: "Give me back the mountains and rivers!"

How many people in the Song Dynasty want to return my rivers and mountains? How many people sacrificed their lives and shed their blood for it. It would be better to use this shadow at this moment. His shout immediately attracted the roar of the soldiers, "Give me back my rivers and mountains!"

The troops in the east of the city were mainly cavalry units of Jie Jin. More than 20,000 people shouted together, and the sounds shook the sky, and the sounds were rising to the sky to stop the floating clouds.

When they shouted, they immediately attracted Zhang Jue, Liu Hezi, Zheng Jing and their troops to respond, and shouted "Give me back the mountains and rivers". These four words roared out from the mouths of more than 100,000 troops and formed an earth-shaking song, as if ten thousand thunders exploded, and the wind and clouds were lost and echoed on the Chengdu Plain.

"Yes. Your eyes are filled with the passion of returning my rivers and mountains! In order to return my rivers and mountains, you shed your blood and started from Lin'an and fought all the way, achieving brilliant results. Boyan, Guo Kan, A Shu, Shi Tianze, Zhang Hongfan, and Nuelin lowered their proud heads in front of you. Boyan, Nuelin was awarded the title for your heroic behavior. Guo Kan, Shi Tianze, A Shu, Zhang Hongfan, ran away because of your heroic behavior.

"Your bravery is best rewarded: Jiangnan was revived, Huaixi was revived, Huaidong was revived, Qihuang was revived, Jianghan Plain was revived, Chongqing was revived, Luzhou was revived, and Diaoyu City, which was headed by the Mongge Tartars, was also revived. What we are greeted are the joy and smiles of the Chinese people enslaved by the Tartars. They have said to you countless times, "The court has been fought back, and we can live a good life."

"Today, I order you to raise the sword in your hands and continue your bravery to the end! Leave failure to the Tartars! Give your happy life to the people of Chengdu!

"Soldiers: Use the blood of the Tartars to clean our sword!" He pulled out the sword, held it high on his head, pulled the horse's head, and waved it at the head of Chengdu.

Li Jun's speech included all the glory achieved by the Song army. Each of these victories was an exciting story, which was familiar to them for a long time. After hearing Li Jun's words, he was full of passion and roared, "Kill!" The weapons in his hand kept waving, and endless fighting spirit enveloped Chengdu.

The Song army in the east roared, and the Song army in the other three aspects also roared. Although it only had the word "kill", it had a shocking power, expressing the voice of the soldiers: Chengdu will flow into a river today!

Although Li Jun only waved it, Shu Suhuli knew the significance of this wave. The Song army's attack was launched, and the Chengdu battle officially began. The day when Shu Suhuli could see the sun had entered the countdown.

"Prepare! Let it go!" Zhu Ruixiang stood behind the cannon and waved the flag and roared. Perhaps because he had slept too much and had enough energy at Jianmenguan, he roared with great energy, as if a thunder rushed out of his mouth.

More than hundreds of artillery fired at the top of the city wall, and dense shells poured out on the top of the city wall, causing dust and sand to fly, and blood and flesh to fly. The explosion was mixed with the screams of Mongolian soldiers.

While firing in the east, artillery from the other three directions also roared and poured shells into the city. For a moment, the entire Chengdu city was bombed, and the earth-shaking explosions were heard one after another, deafening. The whole Chengdu was trembling, as if it would collapse at any time. There were flashing fireballs everywhere. If you looked from the air, it would definitely be an amazing scene.

The Mongolian soldiers suffered a lot, either frying the flesh and blood, or frying the limbs to pieces, with colorful internal organs, red flesh, red blood, and broken swords and guns constantly flashing, depicting the cruel scene of the war particularly clearly.

Chengdu's strategic position is extremely important. It is not only the central city of Sichuan and the central city of the southwestern provinces. In order to capture Chengdu in one go, it sends troops to Yunnan as quickly as possible. At the same time, it can also free up hands to deal with the upcoming Borhu army. In addition to the artillery used to deal with the Mongolian army in Jiange, Li Jun transferred all the artillery that can be mobilized to Chengdu, and there were no less than two thousand artillery concentrated in Chengdu.

With so many artillery fire preparations on Chengdu from four directions, the intensity of its firepower can be imagined, and the Mongolian army naturally cannot bear it.

The broken limbs and arms are broken, broken pieces of flesh, splashing internal organs, a tent of blood, and an indescribable weirdness and terrible under the sunlight. This is a bloody war scene created by only the devil.

During the Battle of Sichuan, the Mongolian army had been attacked by the Song army's artillery many times. They had a deep understanding of the power of the Song army's artillery. The psychological endurance was already quite good. It should not be afraid. However, compared with today's artillery, the artillery was not the same as today. There were so many artillery investments at one time, not to mention that it was rare in ancient wars, even in modern wars, not every battle, and only those large-scale battles could have so many artillery.

After the first round of bombing, the Mongolian army suffered heavy losses. The Mongolian soldiers standing on the top of the city suffered great losses. Fewer soldiers survived were intact, and most of them were covered with bruises and wailing. The survivors looked at their unlucky companions and couldn't help but look horrified on their faces, as if they had encountered death in broad daylight.

Twenty years ago, this army swept across the land of Xichuan. At that time, they were full of energy and fearlessness. They always threw fear behind their heads, treated death as fun, and left shock to the enemy. Now, after being attacked by the firepower of the Song army, they acted the same as the enemy twenty years ago: fear of death, fear, panic.

"Why is this?" The wise man from Shusuhuli couldn't understand the truth. Perhaps, they had won too many victories, had not suffered the test of failure, and were hit by a sudden blow, which made it difficult for them to adapt.

Looking at the panicked Mongolian army on the city, Jie Jin shouted excitedly: "It's so good. Blow it again, blow it hard for me." He paused and shouted: "Zhu Ruixiang, you have to remember it well, you can't kill the Tartars in Shusuhuli. His dog head is my. If you blow it to death, I want you to compensate."

Shu Suhuli just turned black and white, saying that Sichuan was the territory of Mongolia, which annoyed him, so he decided to cut off Shu Suhuli's head himself. The little cavalry's fighting style is fierce and tenacious. Once he is targeted, it will be endless. He is determined to take Shu Suhuli's head with his own hands, which means Shu Suhuli is dead.

The little cavalry was in great honor, and there were not many people who dared not to buy him. Zhu Ruixiang was one of them and shouted, "Little cavalry, I heard it. If you want a good dog head, you have to push the cannon for me. Otherwise, you can only see a big blood pot." It means that if you don't push the cannon for me, I will blow the Shusuhu to death.

"I'll transport it to Jianmen Pass for you, okay?" For Jie Jin, being able to cut off Shu Suhuli's head with his own hands was the biggest good thing. Don't think about the rest and agree at once.

Zhu Ruixiang said happily: "That's all. Brothers, just point, just point. Damn, if you blow up the dog's head and no one pushes the cannon, you can carry it yourself." With his roar, the gunners adjusted the guns unhappily.

It is a good thing that the generals have such a fighting spirit and determination, and Li Jun smiled and said nothing.

A dense shell fell around Shusuhu and exploded. The Mongolian soldiers killed and injured many of them, but he was intact. If the gunners had not adjusted their positions, he could imagine that he would be the one flying everywhere.

Jie Jin, Zhang Jue, Liu Hezi, Zheng Jing and they were determined to implement Li Jun's intention of "iron and blood" to the end. They stood behind the cannons one by one, urging the gunners to load and fire. Look at them like that, it seems that they will never give up until they razed Chengdu to the ground.

Especially Zhang Jue, his eyes were blood red, and there were flames of hatred in his eyes. He looked at the city and shouted: "Brothers, I will cheer up and blew hard. I must blow the Tartars to death and blow them up."

Chengdu has suffered so many miserable situations in the past twenty years. It can be said that there is no one who has destroyed the Mongols several times. Chengdu is now rebuilt from the ruins, and under the rule of Mongolia, it has far from restored its former prosperity. Jie Jin and others naturally knew about this, and the murderer of the destruction of Chengdu was the Mongolian army in the city. It would be impossible to not be angry. Of course, they wanted to take this opportunity to blow them to death.

Zhang Jue persisted in the War of Resistance in Sichuan for 20 years. He had a deeper understanding of the situation in Sichuan than anyone else. The roaring artillery aroused his anger, and the flames of revenge were burning in his chest, so he couldn't do it without yelling.

The Song army's artillery kept pouring shells to the Mongolian army on the city. From the beginning of the sun just climbing up the mountain, there was no sign of stopping until the sun was at its peak.

For Shu Suhuli, today was the most difficult day in his life. The Song army's artillery ruthlessly devoured the lives of Mongolian soldiers, like an insatiable meat grinder. The Mongolian soldiers hid wherever they hid. After a morning of bombing, dozens of gaps had appeared in the Chengdu city wall. If it were in the past, the Song army would have rushed in through the gap like a tide. Now they were quietly watching artillery performing killing stunts under the city, and they just didn't move. It was obvious that the Song army had made up their minds now that they would not stop if they buried them all in Chengdu.

Looking at the sun in the sky, Shu Suhulu knew that this was the last chance he could see the sun.

The facts proved that his judgment was correct again, just as he offered advice to Mengge, but Mengge died and fished to the city. His thoughts turned around and the city let out a shocking roar: "Roll!" The Song army rushed in from the gap like a tide, like a huge wave blowing under the strong sea, and soon submerged Chengdu City.

The sea tide slowly turned red, and the whole of Chengdu was submerged in the red tide.

A trained sword light flashed by, splashing a tent of blood, which was particularly beautiful under the sunlight.

"You really killed Shu Suhuli." Li Jun strode to Xue Ran Zhengyi and said, "His head is valuable, your sword is too wasteful."

Jie Jin spat a bitter saliva on the head of the man who was still dripping with blood, and said, "Your Majesty, the head of the Tartars can only be used to feed the wild dogs."

"That would be even more wasteful." Li Jun smiled and said, "You think, if we put it in a box and send someone to Kublai Khan, I will write a few words for him: The whole territory of Sichuan is restored! Tell me, what will he react?"

Jie Jin burst out laughing and said, "Your Majesty, you are so funny. You can think of this idea too. However, this idea is very good. Your Majesty, it's too boring to give one head. If you want to give it, give it a few more. When you cut off the Muzhali, Wang Dechen and Borhu's heads and give it to Kublai Khan, the dog emperor, that's all."
