Chapter 363 The Drama Begins

This fleet was naturally led by the brothers Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun.

Logically speaking.

It would be impossible for a navy of this size to go down the river and hide from the eyes of the Southern Song Dynasty.

But the Yangtze River was penetrated by the Mongols!

In addition, there were rebels and bandits, and no one paid attention to the whereabouts of such a fleet.

At the same time, two forces were meeting in the tributary water fort where the fleet was hiding.

That's right, it was Lin Chen and Guo Fu.

This young lady in the original book had a savage personality and gave people a rather unpleasant first impression.

Compared with her own master, she had a temperament as indifferent as snow.

However, her recent experience made her more silent.

When she saw Lin Chen for the first time, Guo Fu's calm eyes had a slight change.

"It's been a long time since we last met. Are you this old, Lin boy?"

Lin Chen: "?"

These words almost made Lin Chen tense.

When he came to his senses, he remembered that he had seen the setting of the secret world with Guo Fu.

OK.

Lin Chen called out honestly: "Sister Fu."

The latter was very pleased and stepped forward to pinch Lin Chen's cheek.

This scene made the Yulin guards present twitch their mouths, as if they had seen a ghost.

Soon, Wei Qing and others, who saw the indifferent eyes of their masters, hurriedly took their leave and left.

Seeing Lin Chen's appearance, Guo Fu couldn't help but raise her mouth slightly.

Her smile was like a flower.

After reminiscing about the past, Lin Chen coughed lightly and changed the subject.

Speaking of the anti-Mongol heroes under Guo Fu's command.

"I wonder what General Lin wants to do this time?" Guo Fu looked at Lin Chen and asked seriously.

She is not a fool.

Seeing that Lin Chen hid his troops here, it proved that he intended to interfere in the decisive battle between Jia Sidao and Kublai Khan.

Of course, Guo Xiang, the eldest disciple, could also lead the army to surrender to Kublai Khan and stab Jia Sidao in the back.

If that was the case, don't blame her for taking action personally to clean up the mess.

Lin Chen saw what Guo Fu was thinking and couldn't help but laugh and shook his head.

He didn't answer directly, but asked instead:

"Sister Fu, do you think Jia Sidao can win?"

Win?

Guo Fu was stunned. She didn't know much about military strategy.

She couldn't understand who was better between Jia Sidao and the Mongolian army.

Seeing this, Lin Chen explained: "If Jia Sidao had the courage to fight and his soldiers were willing to fight, even if Kublai Khan wanted to take Dingjiazhou, it would not be easy!"

Indeed.

Although Kublai Khan accepted Lü Wenhuan and let him build a navy.

But how could it compare to the elite navy of the Southern Song Dynasty under Jia Sidao?

If the two sides were deadlocked, Jia Sidao might really be able to stop Kublai Khan here.

However, this was of little use to the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It was nothing more than Kublai Khan sending another army to bypass this place and continue to march towards Lin'an.

Leave Lu Wenhuan here to hold back Jia Sidao's army.

At this point, the Southern Song Dynasty was already in danger.

Or rather.

When the Southern Song Dynasty lost Xiangfan, the defeat was already decided.

For the entire war situation, Jia Sidao's trip was meaningless.

As for why Kublai Khan led the main force to fight?

The reason is probably very simple.

That is, Kublai Khan also wanted to fight and completely solve the Southern Song Dynasty.

You know, Jia Sidao brought the last living force of the Southern Song Dynasty.

If he could be defeated, the Southern Song Dynasty would no longer have the ability to resist.

After listening to Lin Chen's analysis, Guo Fu's eyes became blank.

So, isn't the Southern Song Dynasty about to perish?

Guo Fu reacted and looked at Lin Chen with a bad look.

Could it be that this disciple of my sister wanted to use Jia Sidao as a stepping stone to please Kublai Khan?

At this moment.

Guo Xiang held Guo Fu's hand with a firm look.

It seemed that if Guo Fu took action, she Guo Xiang would stop her.

"Sister Fu, for the people in the south, the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty may be a good thing."

Guo Fu became more and more excited after hearing this.

She didn't expect that Lin Chen, who she had watched grow up since childhood, has now become a traitor!

If Lin Chen knew what Guo Fu was thinking, he would probably be in tears and laughter.

Who said he wanted to surrender to Kublai Khan, couldn't he start a new business?

This battle in Dingjiazhou.

No matter what the result is, the Southern Song Dynasty is destined to perish.

It's nothing more than whether it will be destroyed by Kublai Khan or Lin Chen!

After listening to Lin Chen's explanation, Guo Fu's expression was even more wonderful.

She wanted to say whether Lin Chen's plan was a bit whimsical?

But seeing Lin Chen's confident smile, Guo Fu didn't know why she felt that he could do this heaven-defying move!

For Guo Fu, she had no good feelings towards the Southern Song Dynasty.

She only cared about the Han people.

Lin Chen was relieved when he saw Guo Fu expressed her willingness to stay.

But according to her own words, she stayed only to supervise Lin Chen.

On the other hand, Jia Sidao hurriedly recruited 70,000 elite soldiers to build camps and military camps after learning that Kublai Khan refused to seek peace.

From the looks of it, Jia Sidao seemed to have made up his mind to fight Kublai Khan this time.

Soon.

The Mongolian vanguard led by Lü Wenhuan arrived 20 miles outside Dingjiazhou.

Looking at the flags fluttering along the coast, Lü Wenhuan took a deep breath and sneered.

In his opinion, people like Jia Sidao were just mediocre people. How could they stop the power of their own Khan?

It was just a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Along with Lu Wenhuan, there was also a large Mongolian navy.

Kublai Khan, who had conquered a large territory of the Southern Song Dynasty without spending a single soldier, ordered Lu Wenhuan to choose to surrender soldiers to supplement the navy.

At the same time, all ships along the way were forced to replenish the navy.

Knowing that it was the order issued by Kublai Khan, those former Southern Song officials from various places who had just surrendered tried their best and couldn't wait to show their value in front of the new master.

Not only did they contribute their ships and sailors, but even their fishing boats were given to the Mongolian navy.

In just a few days, the Mongolian naval force in Lu Wenhuan's hands suddenly swelled to nearly 200,000!

certainly.

This was not without harm. The quality of the Mongolian naval forces was uneven, so that Lu Wenhuan had no choice but to order the chain of ships to be connected with iron ropes.

At this time, Jia Sidao, who was facing each other across the river, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he looked at the naval camp built by Lu Wenhuan!

The reason is that the enemy actually connected the boats with iron ropes? !

Why is Jia Sidao unhappy?

Seeing this scene, Prime Minister Xiuzhi was already thinking about imitating the old events of the Three Kingdoms and burning Red Cliff.

at the same time.

The main Mongolian force led by Kublai Khan arrived.

same day.

Then a 30,000-strong Mongolian cavalry attacked the 70,000 Southern Song Dynasty elites on the Dingjiazhou side.

Lu Wenhuan also led the navy to fight against the Southern Song Dynasty navy.

After half a day of fierce fighting, neither side gained any benefit.

That night.

Jia Sidao received news that the Mongolian army, seeing that there was no benefit from a head-on battle, planned to attack at night.

So for several days, Jia Sidao was on guard day and night, guarding against the military stronghold.

For a time, the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty were exhausted.

The soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty were not only confused at night, but also had to fight with the harassing Mongolian navy from time to time.

After seven days of consumption like this.

Kublai Khan suddenly changed his previous temptation.

The Mongolian cavalry was ordered to come out in full force and attack the Southern Song Dynasty military camp stationed along the river.

At the same time, Mongolian boats cooperated with the Mongolian cavalry to attack and block the Southern Song navy.
