Chapter 0301 It’s hard to argue between truth and fiction
Tuo Lei naturally had reason to think so, because Tang Qing, who was most likely to be killed, was arrogant and arrogant in the Kingdom of Jin at this time, and was served by the Kingdom of Jin as the supreme emperor.
Tang Qing was like this, let alone Subalhan who was not at risk at all. How could he lose his life?
However, this was the fact. Several messages came one after another, and he had no choice but to believe it.
When he learned that the news was true, Tuo Lei was furious. He looked up to the sky and said angrily: "How dare you kill my envoy if the Song Dynasty is weak!"
Tuo Lei was extremely angry and drew his sword fiercely. He raised his hands flat and looked up at the sky, saying: "The Changsheng Heaven will decide what will happen today!"
When the Song Dynasty killed Subalhan, it was no different from giving Tuo Lei a hard slap on the face. When had the proud Tuo Lei ever been so humiliated!
In desperation, Tuo Lei directly changed his plan. He originally wanted to use the Song Dynasty to attack the Jin Kingdom, but now he turned his gun and went directly to attack the Song Dynasty. He vowed to capture the Emperor of the Song Dynasty alive and take him to the grassland to work as a horse slave.
Only by humiliating yourself can you relieve the hatred in your heart.
"Send the order, gather all the troops and horses, and follow this prince to attack Dashan Pass."
Tuo Lei gave the order and everything fell down. Even if some generals did not agree to change the original strategy, Tuo Lei was so angry now that no one dared to say another word!
Soon, the 30,000-strong army was assembled. Tuo Lei thought it was enough, so he led the army to kill Dashan Pass.
In the royal tent, Genghis Khan learned that Tuo Lei changed his strategy before the battle and targeted the Song Dynasty, but he did not object.
He just said lightly: "The people of the Song Dynasty thought they could sit back and relax across the Jin Kingdom. They despised Mongolia and killed my envoys. Hahaha, let them pay a price. They won't dare to be reckless in the future."
In this way, a war broke out between Mongolia and Song Dynasty, and the battlefield was in Sichuan and Shu. In the Southern Song Dynasty, the Sichuan-Sichuan area referred to the area of Lizhou Road, Kuizhou Road, Tongchuanfu Road, and Chengdufu Road.
This year was the third year of Hengsheng and the year of Dinghai, so it was called the Dinghai War in history.
In the original history, this time the mines were dragged into Sichuan and more than 140 castles were breached. The people suffered heavy casualties, but this was just the beginning for Sichuan and Shu.
After that, the Mongolian army used large-scale troops against Sichuan and Sichuan several times. In 1236 alone, when Kuo Duan, son of Wo Kuotai, led his army into Sichuan, Sichuan and Sichuan lost 2 million people at once.
In the next thirty years, the Mongolian army entered Sichuan many times to plunder. Before Kuoduan entered Sichuan, the population of the Sichuan-Sichuan region was about 12 million. Thirty years later, it dropped to less than two million. The population dropped by nearly 90%, and about 10 million people died.
These thirty years of military disasters.
And now, because of the arrival of Zhao Yun, Meng Gong, Yu Jie, Cao Youwen, Jiang Wanzai, Jiang Hai, Du Gao, Wang Jian and others have stepped onto the stage of history in advance and assumed important positions in advance. Sichuan and Shu will still encounter the same things as history
A huge disaster?
Please let us wait and see.
Back to the subject, the Mongolian army was said to have rushed to Dashan Pass, and Meng Gong, who was always paying attention to the movements of the Mongolian army, was determined.
He had expected that the Mongolian army would attack Dashan Pass before, so he made targeted arrangements in advance. Now that the Mongolian army has indeed arrived, everything was as expected.
Meng Gong immediately sent an order to Li Shi, the general guarding the pass, and ordered him to hold on for three days. Then he pretended to be defeated, withdrew his troops and fled, hiding in the nearby mountains and forests to wait for orders.
Li Shi had previously received an order from Meng Gong, saying that the Mongolian army might invade in large numbers in the near future, and asked him to be on alert. Now that he had received an order to retreat, he knew that Meng Gong must have plans.
Li Shi did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered people to prepare for the retreat.
The general was puzzled and asked Li Shi: "Dasan Pass is a natural chasm for the country, why should we give up so easily? If the Mongolian army enters the pass, wouldn't it mean that all lives will be destroyed?"
Li Shi just replied: "Those who join the army, please follow the orders and prohibitions. The Mongolian army is coming fiercely, how can we defend it alone? General Meng has laid out the chess game and is only waiting for the Mongolian army to enter the game."
When all the generals saw this, everyone was convinced and no longer had any doubts.
When the Mongolian army arrived at Dashan Pass and the siege was ready, Tuo Lei immediately ordered the siege.
Immediately, hundreds of trebuchets threw flying stones at Dashan Pass. In an instant, Dashan Pass was filled with flying stones like rain, which was extremely terrifying.
Not only that, there were more than ten trebuchets throwing kerosene barrels. The kerosene barrels broke apart at the head of Dashanguan City, and the kerosene flowed everywhere. Then, the Mongolian army fired a dense rain of arrows.
It's amazing.
In the rain of arrows, there were arrowheads tied with oilcloth, which were lit on fire. The kerosene at the moment when the arrows were ignited suddenly caused many places on Dashan Pass to burn.
Fortunately, Li Shi was well prepared. He also ordered people to counterattack. Iron artillery, trebuchets, and archers were all used together to suppress the Mongolian army, making it unable to gain the upper hand for a while.
On the city wall at the critical moment, Li Shi had already laid a layer of earth and yellow sand, and ignited the kerosene on it. Although it burned, it did not burn much. Many fires burned for a while and then went out on their own, so there was no need to pay attention to it.
In this way, the Mongolian army failed to capture Dashan Pass on the first day. After dark, they withdrew their troops and rested in the camp, waiting for the attack on the second day.
In the evening, Li Shi first withdrew a thousand troops from Dashan Pass. In this way, the force against the Mongolian army was naturally weakened.
After dawn, the Mongolian army launched an siege. Tuo Lei was keenly aware of the changes in the Song army's combat power. He believed that the Song army must have suffered heavy casualties and there was a problem in replenishing the supply of troops. He was overjoyed and continued to increase his efforts to attack the city.
However, Dashan Pass is famous all over the world, so how can it be so easy to conquer? Although the Mongolian army had a slight upper hand on this day, they still ended up withdrawing their troops.
At night, Li Shi once again withdrew one thousand defenders. As a result, the defenders at Dashan Pass were already less than three thousand. Facing the Mongolian army's siege, it was already very difficult. As the Mongolian army fought in the north and south,
, naturally everyone can feel it.
On the third day of attacking the city, they felt that the defensive strength of Dashan Pass was significantly reduced. The morale of the Mongolian army was greatly boosted, and the offensive became more fierce. The Song army, which only fought, did not dare to take the lead and was completely suppressed.
This lasted for another hard day. At night, the Mongolian army stopped attacking the city, and Li Shi quietly withdrew all his soldiers, leaving only an empty city and a virtual pass.
After daybreak, the Mongolian army attacked the city again, but there was no response from the top of the city. Only then did the Mongolian army realize that the Song army was frightened and had fled overnight.
When Tuo Lei learned this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, "Such a rat dares to touch my Mongolian tiger's beard and seek death."
After laughing, Tuo Lei led his army into Dashan Pass, leaving two thousand men and horses to garrison, while the rest followed him to attack Lizhou Road.
However, what Ling Tuo Lei did not expect was that when he entered Sichuan and Sichuan and was about to burn, kill and loot, he found that the towns he passed along the way were deserted. Not to mention people, not even a chicken or duck was seen.
Seeing this, Tuo Lei immediately understood that the Song Dynasty had learned of his arrival in advance and transferred the population and property.
"Humph, where can we escape?" Tuo Lei didn't care.
