Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

Both Chen Sheng and Meng Gong underestimated the elite Mongolian soldiers of this period.

Because the three capitals and one pass could not be broken, at the beginning of April in the second year of Duanping, general Su Butai asked Temutai to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers to continue to besiege Luoyang. Guiyu, the coach, came up with a very bold plan.

"His Royal Highness, our army has dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops in this southern expedition, but it has been to no avail.

The [-] West Route Army was blocked between Tianshui and Xihe Prefecture by Cao Youwen, unable to advance an inch.

And our 20 army was blocked in the small area of ​​the Central Plains, unable to capture a single city, which really embarrassed the Mongols.

The Great Khan has repeatedly issued edicts to reprimand us.

The subordinates thought that tactics should be changed.

We can keep 15 elite soldiers here and continue to besiege these southerners hiding in turtle shells.

I would like to lead a team of [-] people from the Mongols, two teams of [-] people from the Tanma Red Army, and two teams of [-] people from the Han Army, and go down along the Huaihe River to take Yangzhou! "

Guiyou shook his head, looked at the famous general in front of him, and asked a question.

"Subutai, your strategy is indeed very good. But I want to ask you, how do you solve our army's supplies on the road?

Don't forget that the large area from Bianliang to Yangzhou has been slaughtered several times by our army back and forth.Now in those dilapidated cities and villages, there are only two or three kittens and puppies left.

Even if you swallowed them with their bones, you wouldn't be able to feed so many troops, right? "

Su Butai laughed and said, "If we had known what happened today, we should have left some southerners as our sheep. Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already expected it.

In order to defend the newly recovered Sanjing and Yiguan, the current Southern Emperor sent all the elite soldiers from Jingxiang, Jianghuai, and Huaihe River.

As long as our army can break through to Jiangbei, it will enter the southern states and counties.Now there are only some unfit soldiers left in those states and counties. Once our army arrives, it will definitely be like a broken bamboo.

Even if they can't break through the defense line of the Yangtze River, they can still sweep along the west of the river and kill them all the way to the Jingxiang area, scaring the courage of the Song people. "

Kiyuki is seduced by the prospect Subodei described.

Suddenly he stood up and said loudly,

"This plan is feasible. It's just the army supplies in this uninhabited land for more than a thousand miles. How do you solve it?"

Subotai thought for a while, and then said in a firm tone,

"Prince, don't worry. I will only bring a Mongolian team of [-] people this time, and a team of [-] people from the Red Army to explore the horses. One man, three horses, and more beef jerky, I think I can survive this no-man's land.

My Mongolian man has always been the most tolerant of hard work, hunger and cold. No matter how difficult this journey is, is it difficult for the great Genghis Khan to cross the [-]-mile desert to surprise the Xixia Kingdom? "

"it is good!"

Guiyou clapped his hands and shouted,

"It's not appropriate to continue besieging these strong cities. Let's take a gamble. As long as the general sweeps across Jiangbei, the Southern Emperor will definitely panic.

He will definitely force these southerners who are not fighting to withdraw their troops and return south to protect him.

When the time comes, our army will pursue them from tail to tail, and we will definitely wipe them out. "

In mid-April of the second year of Duanping, General Subotai led [-] elite cavalry, one man and three horses, from Bianliang to the east, bypassing Guide Mansion. It took seven days to cross the thousand-li depopulated land and go straight to Yangzhou City.

This move of the Mongols was beyond Meng Gong's expectation.

Just as Subotai said, at this time, the elite soldiers of the Song army were on the Sichuan-Shanxi defense line, and the other was on the Sanjing and Yiguan. Extremely thin.

If the Mongols can really kill Jiangbei in one fell swoop, it will definitely sweep away thousands of troops.

What was also unexpected was that when he led [-] cavalry to the south from a few miles to the left of Guide Mansion, he was spotted by a young general from the Song Dynasty at the head of Guide Mansion.

This young general from the Song Dynasty was none other than Yu Jie who was called Yu Dazui.

Yu Jie was born with supernatural power and amazing force. He joined the army for less than half a year, and he has become a deputy commander in charge of thousands of people.

Seeing the Mongols leading the army to the south, Yu Jie immediately ran into the Guide government office like a whirlwind, begging to see the coach Xu Minzhi.

Xu Minzhi received him.

Seeing that the scorching heat is approaching and the counterattack is imminent, Xu Minzhi is also in a particularly good mood.

He looked at the anxious Yu Jie and smiled,

"Yu Dazui, what's the matter with you coming to my mansion when you're not on guard at the top of the city? Could it be that you're going out of the city to fight the Mongolian army again?"

The reason why Xu Minzhi asked this was because the people of Song Dynasty did not blindly defend the city.From time to time, they would send three or four hundred strong men out of the city to fight against the Mongols in a heroic battle.

Mongolian general Wen Buhua naturally didn't take these thin Song people seriously.

As long as the Song army goes out of the city to invite a battle, he will send elites to fight.

It was precisely in this kind of frequent field battles that Yu Jie made great achievements. He defeated the Mongols five times, beheaded more than forty Mongols, and finally changed from a small soldier to a deputy commander.

Yu Jie shook his head and said eagerly,
"General Xu, Yangzhou is in danger!"

Xu Minzhi's complexion changed, and he asked in a cold voice,

"Yu Dazui, don't be alarmist.

Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from here, so what's the danger?Would the Mongols still dare to cross the uninhabited land and attack Yangzhou by surprise? "

Yu Jie stomped his feet,

"General Xu, the Mongols' surprise attack on Yangzhou has already crossed the Guide Mansion."

Then Yu Jie told Xu Minzhi what he saw.

Xu Minzhi's face turned pale after hearing this.

"The Mongols really ate the bear's heart and the leopard's guts. Now that Jianghuai is empty and there are few elite soldiers left, how can they stop the surprise attack of the Mongols?

What can I do?What can I do? "

Yu Jie said loudly,

"Once Yangzhou is lost, the south of the Yangtze River will inevitably be shaken. Our army's idea of ​​defending the city and waiting for the enemy's exhaustion is completely in vain. If my prediction is correct, our army will be returned by the emperor.

But at that time, Guiyou's 10,000+ army will definitely chase after it, and our army will be defeated. We will not be able to defend Sanjing and Yiguan, nor can we save Jianghuai.

For the current plan, our army must take risks. "

"How to take risks?"

Xu Minzhi noticed that Yu Jie in front of him had the air of a general, he was not panicked when things were going wrong, and he didn't mess up when he was in danger, so he began to ask questions without shame.

Yu Jie sneered, pointed to the direction outside the city,

"The first thing our army has to do is to find a way to defeat the Mongolian army outside the city. At the same time, send someone to inform Lord Meng Gong in Luoyang to let him find a way to defeat the Mongolian army outside the city.

Then our two armies joined forces to attack Bianliang, trying to repel the middle army led by the Mongolian prince in one fell swoop.

At that time, our army will be able to calmly go south and defeat the tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers who performed the surprise attack mission. "

Xu Minzhi thought that Yu Jie had some dangerous plan to keep Yangzhou, but at the end of hearing, Yu Jie was going to repel 10,000+ Mongolian troops before heading south.

Xu Minzhi laughed back in anger,

"You are really big mouth Yu. Do you think the Mongolian army of 10,000+ can be defeated so easily? If the Mongolians are so incapable of fighting, why are we trapped in three capitals and one pass?"

Yu Jie stepped forward again, looked at Xu Minzhi face to face, and said resolutely,
"During this time, I have been observing the Han army led by Zhang Rou in the east of the city. I think Zhang Rou's army is far from the elite Mongolian soldiers.

If your lord gives me five thousand soldiers who can fight at night, let me lead them to attack Zhang Roujun.I am confident that Zhang Rou will be defeated in one fell swoop.

Once Zhang Rou collapsed, Wen Buhua's [-] elite Mongolian soldiers were worth nothing! "
