Chapter 498: The Sea of Blood is surging
Yang Feng has to make his own small force, and this force needs territory, and this territory is no more suitable than Chengdu.
First of all, he possessed this goods, which is a native of Chengdu.
In this way, there is a very special relationship between him and Chengdu, and he has the obligation to rescue Chengdu from the iron hooves of the Tartars!
It's a must!
But Chengdu is not necessary for the Southern Song Dynasty court, the purpose of the Southern Song Dynasty's defense of Sichuan is to block the Yuan army down the river, and the means of defense is to block the echelon of mountain cities in eastern Sichuan, the bottom line is Diaoyu City and Chongqing, and all parts of Sichuan outside the bottom line are used to make strategic buffers, do the tug-of-war between the two sides, the two sides have been like this all these years, the Yuan army controls Hanzhong, the Song army controls Chongqing, and then the entire Sichuan Basin is a battlefield, and the Sichuan Basin has been sawed into a sea of corpses and blood for decades, and the people's bones are piled up.
And this land itself is actually not cared about for the Southern Song Dynasty.
It doesn't matter if it's militarized.
As long as they can continue to be a buffer, even if they become warlords, they will admit it, the Lu family in Xiangyang is like this, and the later Liu Cheng is also like this, when Liu Cheng descended to the Yuan, he took 300,000 households in the fourteen counties of Luzhou, how can he have such great energy if he is not a warlord.
Then Yang Feng controlled Chengdu to be a warlord, and the Southern Song Dynasty court would also tolerate it.
Of course, it wasn't Yang Feng who did it himself.
He has big things to do!
So he has to support a believer who is loyal to himself to be this warlord, there is no candidate for the time being, but Chengdu must be taken down first, if he doesn't take it down, how can he be a warlord? But he made Lu Wende very embarrassed, Lu Wende didn't want to take this risk, after all, he was going to send troops, but Lu Dashuai didn't dare to disobey Yang Feng at this time, this was the immortal who had just shown a miracle in front of him! The strange image of the sand turning into a mirror is still in his mind!
"Xiaoyu, gather all the disciples, follow the teacher to go out to recruit soldiers, no need for the imperial court, let's go and take Chengdu back ourselves!"
Yang Feng slapped the table and said dissatisfiedly.
"Uh, go and prepare money, food, and equipment for Immortal Venerable!"
Lu Wende said with a look of surprise.
Of course, he didn't know that this was Yang Feng's original purpose, and then Yang Xianzun took a dozen disciples to the street with an unhappy face, and in the reverence of the people on the side of the road, Yang Xianzun jumped up and thrust the sword into the street, and after landing on the ground, he looked around with a majestic gaze, turned his head and stretched out his fingers on the knife body and slowly swiped it, and the handwriting like an inscription stone carving gradually formed on the knife body.
Those ordinary people knelt down in shock and kowtowed to the Immortal Venerable reverently.
This is the real fairy.
Fingers can carve words on steel, it's not a fairy, that's what.
Soon the three big characters were completed.
"The Bandits"
"Ben Xian wants to go to Chengdu in person, and the young and strong people of Xichuan in Chongqing City are willing to come here to sign up, and then go to the embassy to receive the ordnance, and Ben Xian will take Er and others to take home the garden!"
Yang Feng stood with his hands in his hands and said slowly.
The ordinary people in front of him looked at each other, and then dozens of young men walked out.
"The disciple is willing to follow the Immortal Venerable!"
They knelt at Yang Feng's feet and shouted in unison.
"Line up to sign up!"
Yang Feng picked up the front one and said.
If the imperial court recruits troops to go back to recapture Chengdu, then these people will definitely not be sent to death, but follow the immortals and then enthusiastically step forward. And Chongqing is stranded in a large number of Xichuan displaced people, before as the main tug-of-war battlefield, Chengdu suffered great damage, and even suffered a massacre, the people who can run all ran to the east of Sichuan, either in Diaoyu City or in Chongqing, these people were eager to return to their homeland, before there was no condition, and now there is a god to take them back, then of course do not hesitate to stand up.
It is said that the huge ship chopping knife, as well as the three words on the ship chopping knife, are the guarantee of their confidence.
Soon, as the news spread, more and more Xichuan Qingzhuang flocked to gather around Xianzun and gathered under the standing sword of the ship, and in just one morning, Yang Feng recruited a full five thousand people for the Dangkou army, many of whom were originally soldiers of the Song army.
These people were then brought by him to Lü Wende, who was responsible for providing armor and weapons, as well as military pay and food, and Lü Wende was very generous to this, of course he understood that it was a good thing to recover Chengdu, but he did not want to send troops and suffer the casualties of attacking Chengdu. His army is all brought by Xiangyang, this is the foundation of the Lu family, in order to save Chongqing and Diaoyu City, he has lost a large number of subordinates, there is no need to bear greater losses for an unimportant gaze, his admiration for Xianzun is also limited, not to the point of unconditional obedience, but if it is just to provide ordnance and food, it is not worth mentioning, this is not his, it is not enough to find Jia Rudao.
So in just three days, Yang Xianzun's Dangkou army was armed, and because the young and strong people from other nearby places in western Sichuan arrived, it soon expanded to 8,000 people.
But the horse is a none.
This thing was extremely precious in the Song army at this time.
In addition, there is no combat effectiveness.
It's all a rabble, what fighting power does it have? The only thing that there is, there is only that high fighting spirit, just like the Liujia Divine Soldiers before the expedition, the Dangkou Army is empty-eyed, and their organization is also very simple, that is, the captain of the three hundred thousand levels, the immortal is also in control, and the captains at all levels are all the original Song Army soldiers who came to participate, and they were also named disciples by Yang Fengshou, and Yang Feng's dozen cronies and disciples formed the staff department, and Xiaoyu was a part-time chief of staff, known as Shenggu.
Immortal Zun, Holy Aunt, Inner Hall Disciples, Peripheral Registered Disciples, Little Minions, so that the priesthood system is also available.
In short, in just three days, the Dangkou army took more than 200 civilian ships collected, in addition to more than 30 warships captured by Yang Feng, and even the sailors were still those sailors, these sailors were actually Han people from western Sichuan, and then this army went up to Luzhou against the current. At this time, Luzhou has been recovered by Liu Quan, the general of the Song army, of course, it can also be said to be received, Liu Cheng is one of the few Song troops who can charge into battle, known as Wu Sangui of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is he who failed in the internal struggle with Jia Yidao, Lu Wende and others, and angrily lowered the Yuan in Luzhou, so Kublai Khan determined the strategy of attacking Xiangyang first and then destroying the Song Dynasty.
But at this time, he was still a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty.
For Xianzun's plan to recover Chengdu, Liu Cheng generously undertook the logistics responsibility.
So the Dangkou army continued to go north along the Neijiang River, all the way can be said to be full of devastation, the country of abundance has almost become a ghost domain, dead corpses and white bones can be seen everywhere, most of the countryside has become ruins, there are almost no living people, only those wild beasts are infested among them, from time to time there are wild wolves with dry bones on the shore appear, the rotting dead corpses are eaten by maggots in the barren grass by the riverside, the vultures in the sky hover in the sky, from time to time they fall next to those carrion corpses to peck, only some larger towns, can see a little bit of human population, A few remnants struggled to survive in the grass, numbly staring at the mighty fleet.
"Xing, the people are suffering, dying, the people are suffering!"
Yang Feng stood at the bow of the boat and sighed.
Of course, at this time, he can only sigh, this is a war that has lasted for decades, from 1236 Wokotai to attack the Song Dynasty, Kuoduan to break through Chengdu to slaughter the city, the fire shines for hundreds of miles, and the Mongolian cavalry in the hinterland of Sichuan burned and looted after retreating, until now 23 years this land has been a battlefield, and the war has almost never really stopped. And Meng Ge's attack has lasted from 1253 to the present, in the past seven years the two sides have repeatedly tug-of-war in this area, Niu Ling went south to Chongqing, that is, along the Neijiang waterway in Luzhou to defeat the Song army into the Yangtze River, so long the people can run away, too late to run can only stretch their necks and wait for the Mongols' butcher's knife, the original country of abundance has become a sea of blood.
Later generations also called it fusion.
Maybe the same will be known to them when it is fused to their heads.
His fleet went all the way, and there were no more Mongol troops along the way, and ten days later they reached the Huai'an army, that is, Huaikou, and then they had to disembark and fight.
for before them is ......
"Yunding Mountain City, Xianzun, this city is called Yunding Mountain City, this is the gate to Chengdu, it is the station of Pugong when he counterattacked Chengdu, and later the defender Yao Shi'an surrendered to the enemy, led the Tartars to break through the Yunding Mountain City, and the defenders were all killed and martyred."
An officer beside Yang Feng pointed to the stone city on the top of the mountain on the west bank of the Tuojiang River and said.
"It's really a natural danger!"
Yang Feng said.
"Xianzun, disciple is foolish, even if we recapture Chengdu, we should not be stationed in Chengdu, once the Tartars come to attack, we can't stop the cavalry on the flat ground, their thousands of troops and horses rushed, not to mention that we were hastily recruited, even those elite veterans under Lu Gong can't withstand it, Lu Da led 25,000 people to line up in the plains, but was crushed by the Mongolian cavalry in a battle and the whole army was wiped out. And there are not many people in Chengdu anymore, and it is useless for us to recapture it, but this Yunding Mountain City is different, relying on the endless supply of the Neijiang waterway, there is land to cultivate under the mountain, and the Tartars will retreat into the city as soon as they come, as long as there is enough food, this mountain city cannot be broken at all. ”
This former Song Army soldier named Han Lin said.
A group of disciples next to them nodded one after another, they are not stupid, Yang Xianzun will definitely not be able to protect them here all the time, with Yang Xianzun in them, of course they are not afraid, but as soon as Xianzun leaves, how can they face the counterattacking Mongolian cavalry? Go to Chengdu is to sit still, Yunding Mountain City is not dangerous, as long as the food is enough, as long as there are no traitors, it is basically impossible to conquer through a strong attack, this is one of the eight pillars of Bashu, equivalent to a small Diaoyu City, the defense capability here is tested in actual combat, and the original 7,000 Song army was here to make tens of thousands of Mongolian troops helpless.
"Then it's up to you, but we still have to enter Chengdu."
Yang Feng nodded and said.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the sword and looked at the east gate of Yunding Mountain City above his head, as well as the Mongolian soldiers looming at the head of the city.
"Sons, kill the Tartars with me!"
He suddenly roared, dragging his sword to the ground......
