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

At the beginning of August in the first year of Duanping, all 2 Huaixi soldiers took the three capitals and one pass.Beheaded more than [-] people from the Mongolian and Tanma Red Army, and also beheaded Marshal Zhang Rou of the Han Army, Liu Hengan from the Han Army Wanhu, Tosnov from the Tanma Red Army Wanhu, and four generals from the Mongolian Wanhu Tachaer.

When the news came back to Lin'an, Zhang Xianzhong immediately rewarded the soldiers of the Northern Expedition.

Zhang Dingguo was directly named the Duke of Yan.

Quan Zicai Xu Minzhi and others were made Marquis.

Zhang Xianzhong's next move was once again unexpected.

In mid-August of the first year of Duanping, Zhang Dingguo voluntarily gave up the three capitals and one pass, and withdrew back to Jianghuai with [-] Huaixi elite soldiers.

Above the court, facing the puzzlement and doubts of some courtiers, Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile,
"Today's Central Plains is completely broken and cannot afford to raise soldiers. Once the Mongol Tartars go south in a large scale, the three capitals and one pass will lose the meaning of holding on.

Instead of rushing southward when the Mongol Tartars go south, it is better to withdraw in advance and focus on defense in Jingxiang and Nanyang.If the Mughal Tartar dared to rush over, I would beat him all over the head. "

Yes, Zhang Xianzhong did not completely withdraw the Huaixi elite soldiers to the Song Dynasty, but let the three generals who emerged in the Northern Expedition, Yu Jie, Du Gao, and Gundam, each lead [-] veterans and [-] newcomers. Nanyang, Xinyang and Gwangju, with deep ditches and high fortifications, formed a corner with Xiangyang's Meng Gong.

These three generals were all ascended to the sky by a low-level general and directly acted as the sole commander of the soldiers and horses. They were all grateful to the court and vowed to make the Mongolian army suffer a lot in the winter battle.

Then Zhang Xianzhong imitated Chen Sheng's arrangement and placed more than 20 recruits in border states and counties.

Because he was worried that Zhao Yanna, who was ignorant of military affairs, would delay the Sichuan-Shanxi defense line again, Zhang Xianzhong also transferred Zhao Yanna to the capital, and Cao Youwen was in charge of the Sichuan-Shanxi defense line.

In November of the first year of Duanping, Wo Kuotai summoned an army of 30 troops and marched south with Yu Hara and Lin Shi.

The 10 troops of the West Route Army went straight to Tianshui from Shaanxi, but were blocked by Cao Youwen in three passes and five prefectures, unable to advance an inch.

The 20 soldiers of the Eastern Route Army, led by Prince Guiyou, went south from Yanjing, crossed the Yellow River, and divided into two groups again, attacking Jianghuai and taking Jingxiang.

Subotai and Dong Wenbing led 5 people to Yangzhou.

Guiyou led an army of 15 to take Nanyang Mansion directly.

Since ancient times, when using troops, if you want to destroy Jingxiang, you must first take Nanyang.

There is naturally no problem with Guiyou's use of troops.

In Mongolia's well-known "[-] households of the Shi family", Shi Tianze and Shi Tian'an led [-] elite Han troops from Xuzhou to the south, trying to capture Nanyang City before Guiyou's soldiers arrived.

The guard of Nanyang County was named Gaoda, and he was 30 years old at the time.

In the ambush in Longmen Town commanded by Zhang Dingguo, Gundam killed Liu Hengan and killed a Mongolian thousand households, which can be described as outstanding.

After being promoted as the commander of Nanyang soldiers and horses, Gundam has been training soldiers and horses and building city walls.

Knowing that the two Shi brothers led troops to kill, Gundam originally wanted to defend the city, but after receiving Zhang Dingguo's secret order, Gundam had no choice but to go out of the city to fight.

Before leaving the city, Gao Da told the soldiers under his command, "Yan Guogong has set up a clever plan to defeat the enemy. After we leave the city, we will follow the plan. As long as we do this, we can definitely kill [-] households of the Shi family in one fell swoop and give the Mongols a big blow." "

On the fifth day of the first month of the second year of Duanping, the Shi brothers led the Han army to Nanyang.

Gao Da did not defend the city, but opened the city gate wide, and led [-] soldiers to set up a fish-scale formation outside the city, inviting the Shi brothers to fight.

Song Jun's actions surprised Shi Tianze.

After all, Song Jun is good at defending and is famous all over the world.

Whether facing the Jin soldiers or the Mongolian army, the Song army is best at deep trenches and high fortifications, defending the city, consuming the spirit of the Mongolians a little bit.

Song army generals like Gundam who directly pulled the Song army out of the city to fight the Mongolian army in the field are really rare.

Shi Tianze narrowed his eyes and said with a smile,
"It's really good that this unknown Song general has the courage to fight the Mongolian army in the field."

Shi Tianan said indignantly,
"I guess this Song general must think that our Han army is easy to bully, so he dared to lead his troops out of the city. Second brother, hurry up and order! This time, I will capture this arrogant Song general alive and dedicate it to Prince Guiyou."

Shi Tianze agrees with Shi Tianan.

The Song-Mongolian War has just begun.

Although the Song army was afraid of the Mongolian army, it was not afraid of the Erguizi Han army at all.

The combat effectiveness of the Erguizi Han army was really inferior to the elite Song army.

However, Shi Tianze believed that other Han troops could not defeat the elite Song army, but the Han army he led could crush the Song army in front of him.

Because the Han army under his command was the earliest veteran Han army to take refuge in the Mongols. It has been fighting in the south and north for more than ten years. In terms of real combat power, it is no less than the elite Mongolian soldiers.

When Shi Tianze was about to order the whole army to attack, he saw that the Song army's formation had separated into a passage, and Gao Da, riding alone, rushed out of the formation.

When he was only three hundred steps away from the Mongols, Gao Da reined in his horse, pointed at Shi Tianze with the long knife in his hand, and said loudly,
"Shi Tianze, I heard that you are the enemy of ten thousand people in the Northland, do you dare to fight against me?"

Shi Tianze was stunned for a moment, and the eyes that looked at Gundam became serious.

This Song general knew his name, and dared to challenge him by name, obviously he had great confidence in his martial arts.

Shi Tianze is more confident in his martial arts.

Although he is a Han Chinese, he defeated countless Mongolian generals in single-handed battles in the Mongolian army.

"Our Mongolian army is not only invincible in the battle of the large armies, but also invincible in the heads-up battle."

Facing the challenge of Gundam, Shi Tianze let out a long laugh, and walked out of the ranks of the Han army with a two-foot-long spear.

"Gundam, since you want to die faster, I, Shi Tianze, will help you."

"Dog and traitor will die!"

Seeing that Shi Tianze drove out of the army formation, Gao Da didn't hesitate any longer, he dismounted from his horse, brandished his golden saber, and patted his horse on the horse and went straight for Shi Tianze.

Of course Shi Tianze did not show weakness, he also held his big gun and fought with Gundam.

They are all men of great courage.

After several rounds of fighting, both of them found that they had met an evenly matched opponent, which on the contrary aroused their fighting spirit even more.

Thirty rounds of the battle, still unable to tell the winner.

Both were panting slightly from exhaustion.

When the two horses staggered, Shi Tianze took a deep breath, looked at Gundam and said,

"General Gao, have you ever heard an old saying? A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve. Nowadays, in the Southern Dynasties, the emperor is weak and his ministers are treacherous, and the country has already appeared to be subjugated.

General Gao has all the skills, if he is willing to surrender to Mongolia, the Great Khan will definitely reward ten thousand households! "

Gao Da took a deep breath, stared at Shi Tianze with disdainful eyes, and laughed long and loudly,
"It's not enough for you to be a dog, but you still want to persuade me to be a dog! Gao is an upright man, he only knows how to eat dog meat, but he definitely can't be a dog.

Dog traitor, take your life! "

Faced with Gundam's insults, Shi Tianze also showed anger on his face.

He also yelled,

"Gundam reckless insult me ​​too much, I will kill you today!"

"Kill your uncle! Come on!"

The two sides fought for another [-] rounds, and Gundam finally couldn't hold it anymore. He made a feint, dragged his long knife and fled back to the Song Army's formation.
