Chapter 360: Destroy Their Eyes and Ears

It can be said that at the beginning of the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty.

The status of the Han people was extremely low, even lower than cattle and sheep.

They were regarded as fourth-class subjects and suffered insults and oppression.

Although by the end of the Yuan Dynasty, even the Mongols themselves lived worse than pigs and dogs, the situation of the Han people at that time became even more miserable...

I have gone off topic.

Let's talk about Fengxiang Prefecture.

Wuda still had 10,000 Mongolian cavalry and 20,000 to 30,000 Han auxiliary troops.

What made him most assured was the 4,000 Qiexue cavalry in his hands!

Almost every dynasty had its own elite army, but with different names.

For example, the Han Dynasty's Yulinwei and the Tang Dynasty's Xuanjiaqi.

Even when Zhao Kuangyin founded the country, he had hundreds of thousands of guards.

In Mongolia, it was the Qiexue Army established by Temujin.

Most of the soldiers under the Qiexue Army were from the sons of Mongolian nobles, and they were elite and good at fighting.

They had made great achievements in the Mongolian conquest of Xixia and the war of the Jin Dynasty!

The crooked horses of Xixia and the iron pagodas of the Jin people all became dead souls under the hooves of the Qiexue army.

With such an elite force in hand, Wuta was naturally at ease.

But when he learned that a large army of 100,000 people, which was raised from nowhere, was about to surround Fengxiang City, Wuta was dumbfounded.

"Could it be that this is the Southern Song army?"

Wuta thought to himself, and at the same time tried to send a messenger outside for help.

However, after many days, no news came back.

He realized.

This Song army might have surrounded the entire Fengxiang Prefecture, and he was about to become their meal!

So.

Something happened that was beyond the expectations of the officials of Fengxiang City.

Wuta, a Mongolian nobleman, actually fled without a fight.

He led the Mongolian headquarters and 4,000 Qiexue troops out of the north gate, leaving a Han prefect to guard the city.

Of course, Wuta said it well, and he planned to lead his army to break through and ask for help.

When he returns with the Mongolian army, he will surely be able to wipe out the Song army.

But the Han officials in the city are not fools.

Wuta is treating them as abandoned pawns!

But these Han officials dare not speak out.

Wuta is a Mongolian nobleman, and he will not be punished if he really loses Fengxiang Prefecture.

It is different for these Han officials.

At that time, he will be imprisoned at the least, and his whole family will be executed at the worst!

In this case, it is better to defend the city. Maybe Wuta can really bring the Mongolian army back?

The officials of Fengxiang Prefecture, who held on to such a glimmer of hope, summoned the young and strong in the city to prepare to resist the attack of the Song army.

But one day, two days, and five days passed!

The so-called main force of the Song army is still nowhere to be seen? !

This made the officials in Fengxiang Prefecture in trouble. After discussion, they planned to send scouts to collect information.

Soon, the scouts came back.

And brought back a piece of news that shocked these officials.

Wuta, the chief steward of Fengxiang Prefecture, died.

The more than 10,000 Mongolian elites he brought with him all died in a mountain stream less than 50 miles away from Fengxiang Prefecture!

The corpses were everywhere!

Even the Qiexue Army, which the Han people in the north feared, had long been eaten by wild beasts.

Who did it?

No one knew the answer.

But then the officials in Fengxiang Prefecture discovered.

The Song army that seemed to have descended from the sky to Fengxiang Prefecture did not actually occupy the city of Fengxiang Prefecture.

They just came suddenly, and before the defenders in the city could react, they killed the local garrison officers and officials and confiscated the baggage.

Then they left it alone.

Such actions directly led to chaos in the entire Fengxiang Prefecture.

However, after the Song army attacked and killed Wuta, the chief steward of Fengxiang Prefecture, it disappeared without a trace.

The entire Fengxiang Prefecture was in a daze, not knowing what this mysterious army was up to.

What was Lin Chen going to do?

It was very simple.

That was to use the mobility of the Yulin Guards to kill most of the living forces before the entire Fengxiang Prefecture garrison could react.

From a certain perspective, this was a blitzkrieg.

The only ones who could do this in ancient times were the Yulin Cavalry under Lin Chen.

Therefore, under the leadership of Lin Chen, the three thousand Yulin Guards traveled around Fengxiang Prefecture within seven days.

Because the county town in the interior of Fengxiang Prefecture did not expect that there would be enemies.

This allowed Lin Chen to capture cities one after another without much resistance.

As for why he did not control Fengxiang Prefecture?

The reason was even simpler.

Lin Chen had no one.

Just kidding.

He only had 30,000 infantry and cavalry this time.

Even if he controlled the entire Fengxiang Prefecture, he could not stop the subsequent Mongolian counterattack.

If Fengxiang Prefecture was not the only way for Lin Chen to pass this time, he would not be willing to expose the whereabouts of the army.

He had only one goal.

That was Xiangyang!

As for Kublai Khan, it had been more than half a month since he learned of the strange situation in Fengxiang Prefecture.

Now the Mongolian army heading south to destroy the Song Dynasty is gathering in Jiangling, waiting to cross the Yangtze River.

Once Xiangfan is lost, the natural barrier of the Yangtze River that the Southern Song Dynasty relied on is no longer useful.

This time, Kublai Khan mobilized a total of 300,000 soldiers on land and sea to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty!

Kublai Khan knew that he needed to rely on the navy to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

Fortunately, there were many navy among the Song generals who surrendered in Xiangfan.

After the integration, Mongolia had a large navy with a number of 100,000 people and more than a thousand ships.

Its scale was not inferior to the elite navy of the Southern Song Dynasty led by Jia Sidao later.

Now, the army is about to gather.

In a luxurious tent in the Mongolian army camp.

A man wearing a long coat and carrying a sense of anger was handling military affairs.

The rest of the Mongolian generals, Han generals, and some civil officials who were standing in line bowed their heads and did not dare to breathe.

You should know that Kublai Khan's road to becoming the Great Khan of Mongolia was not short of bloody fighting.

Or the succession battle in the grassland was far more cruel than the royal family in the Central Plains.

Kublai Khan frowned slightly when he looked at the situation of Fengxiang Mansion in the memorial.

According to what Fengxiang Mansion said.

The Western Route Army that attacked Sichuan and Shu suffered heavy losses this time!

I don't know what this hero was thinking, but his eyes didn't change much.

It's not a big problem.

Indeed.

For the general situation.

The importance of Sichuan and Shu has been reduced a lot.

When Xiangfan fell into the hands of Mongolia, Kublai Khan changed his strategy and did not plan to go through Sichuan and Shu, but directly cross the river!

This time, the Western Route Army attacked Sichuan and Shu, more to attract the attention of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Thinking of something, Kublai Khan looked at a figure in the military tent with a smile on his face.

Lv Wenhuan was flattered when he saw his Khan being so friendly.

This surrendered Xiangfan garrison commander was highly valued by Mongolia.

This time he volunteered to serve as a pioneer when he went south to destroy the Song Dynasty.

Unlike the original history, Kublai Khan also brought Lv Wenhuan to serve under him.

The reason was that he wanted to use this opportunity to recruit more Han people to serve.

Just look at Kublai Khan praising in front of everyone:

"General Lu, you are really loyal to join the army this time despite your illness."

Hearing this, Lv Wenhuan immediately knelt on the ground, moved to tears.

"Khan, Wenhuan has failed the country's grace and is extremely ashamed. If it weren't for the warriors in the southern martial arts world, too many people would have been deceived by the dog emperor, and Wenhuan would not have been like this."

Yes.

Lü Wenhuan surrendered, resulting in heavy casualties among the chivalrous warriors who had helped the Song army defend the city.

Guo Jing also died for his country.

The warriors of the southern martial arts world all wanted to kill him as soon as possible.
