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

Liu Bowen had long anticipated the reaction of the Mongols.

Before Wen Buhua's army arrived at Jinan Mansion, Liu Bowen climbed up Yunti Mountain, and by virtue of his three-inch tongue, successfully surrendered Yang Miaozhen.

On the second day after Wen Buhua led an army to surround Jinan Mansion, Li Fen suddenly turned his back and led [-] Han troops to attack Wen Buhua at night.

During the chaotic battle, Yang Miao really took the heat.

Most of the [-] Mongolian elite soldiers were killed or injured, and the rest fled back to Zhending Mansion.

This is the second battle planned by Liu Bowen.

After defeating Wen Buhua's [-]-strong team, Yang Miaozhen raised the banner of the Red Coat Army again.

All of a sudden, the Shandong princes in the East and West Roads of Beijing responded one after another.

But within one month, the entire Beijing East and West Roads became the domain of the Song people.

One goes down and the other goes up.

Song people occupied the east and west roads of Beijing, and their power increased greatly.

The Mongols lost the east and west roads in Beijing, and the flanks of the Mongolian army were no longer safe.

Li Fen led [-] Han soldiers into Dezhou, posing as if he was looking down on Hebei.

Guiyou had to divide his troops again, and dispatched the most capable general, Subotai, to lead two Mongolian troops of ten thousand people to block Li Fen's troops.

However, as the number one general under Liu Futong, Mao Gui is also good at grasping fleeting opportunities.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Mongols divided their troops, Mao Gui led an army of [-] to Zhending Mansion and started a series of battles with Guiyou.

In the end, the Zhending Mansion was conquered abruptly, and the northernmost important town in the Northern Song Dynasty was regained.

At this time, Subotai defeated Li Fen five times in a row with [-] cavalry, and drove Li Fen back to Jinan Mansion.

After Subotai and Guiyou joined forces, they marched south again, defeated Mao Gui, and captured Zhending Mansion again.

The two sides launched a tug-of-war for more than a year in Xiangzhou Zhending and other places.

Seeing that Guiyou could not win, Wo Kuotai was furious, and once again recruited [-] cavalry from the grasslands and Central Asia, and re-entered the Central Plains battlefield.

Facing the newly added [-] cavalry from the Mongols, Mao Gui and Meng Gong couldn't hold on no matter how much they could fight. They led the army and retreated slowly to the south bank of the Yellow River, and began to guard the river in a real sense.

In May of the third year of Duanping, the Mongolian Great Khan Wo Kuotai led [-] fine cavalry to enter the east and west roads of Beijing, trying to completely defeat Yang Miaozhen and Li Fen.

Li Fen was invincible in all battles and retired from Jinan Prefecture.

Yang Miaozhen led [-] elite red coat troops and retreated all the way to Dengzhou.

Under Wo Kuotai's relentless pursuit, the [-] red-coated troops abandoned Dengzhou, boarded a large ship, set sail to the sea, and headed south.

Wo Kuotai returned to Jinan and continued to besiege Li Fen.

In June of the third year of Duanping, Liu Futong marched in person, and together with Mao Gui and Meng Gong, led 15 elite soldiers to cross the Yellow River again, broke through Xiangzhou and Puyang in one breath, and killed Guiyou retreating steadily.

Seeing Liu Futong's imperial conquest, Wo Kuotai certainly did not show weakness. He entrusted the task of besieging Jinan Mansion to his elder brother Dong Wenbing, and rushed to Zhending Mansion by himself to command the East Route Army in person, preparing for a king against king.

At this time, the Song and Mongolian parties stationed nearly 40 troops in the entire West Road of Hebei, which can be described as the largest event since the war between the two countries.

Everyone in the world knows that this battle will determine the fate of the two countries.

If the Song army wins, ZTE will be a foregone conclusion, and the Song army will regain the former homeland of the Northern Song Dynasty.If the Mongolian army wins, the Southern Song Dynasty will not be far from being destroyed.

After all, most of the elite soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty gathered in Xiangzhou.

However, even Dong Wenbing, the most resourceful in the Mongolian army, would not have imagined that the winner of this battle would not be the cavalry or infantry, but the navy of the Song Dynasty.

After Yang Miaozhen's [-] red-coated troops boarded the battleship, although they headed south, they did not rush to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

On the main battleship commanded by the commander of the navy, Yang Miaozhen, Liu Zheng, and Qu Meng all looked intently at the map drawn by Liu Bowen on the table, with horror in their eyes.

Liu Bowen shook his feather fan and said with a cool expression,
"Our army spies have found out that Yanjing's defense is extremely weak. Wo Kuotai tried to complete his meritorious service in one battle and suppressed all the troops to Zhending Mansion. There are only 5000 Mongolian soldiers guarding Yanjing City, and they are still second-rate soldiers. I If the army goes straight from the Bohai Sea to Nigu and fights along the Sanggan River to Yanjing, it will definitely have a chance to conquer this important town in the northern country in one fell swoop and cut off the retreat of the Mongols."

"Wonderful!"

Qu Meng looked at Liu Bowen with fanaticism in his eyes. This is the eyes of fans seeing idols.

"My lord prime minister, it's useless for me to call myself a dragon on the water, but I never thought that the navy could be used in this way. My biggest idea is to let the navy invade the east and west roads of Beijing, but I never thought of going deep into the inner sea."

Liu Bowen smiled and said,
"Does Commander Qu think we can conquer Yanjing?"

"Absolutely!"

Qu Meng said loudly,

"It's the so-called surprise attack! Even I can't think of taking Nigu directly, let alone these grassland barbarians who don't even understand water warfare?"

At this time, Yang Miaozhen frowned slightly.

Liu Bowen observed this keenly, and immediately looked at Yang Miaozhen and asked,
"General Yang, to capture Yanjing this time, we will rely on [-] red jacket troops. If General Yang has any opinions, he can speak out frankly."

Yang Miaozhen bowed to Liu Bowen,
"Master Prime Minister, Commander Qu is right. Since ancient times, no one has ever thought of attacking Yanjing with a navy. If we are caught off guard, our army can definitely conquer the important town of Yanjing in one fell swoop.

But it is easy to attack, but difficult to defend.

Facing the counterattack of the Mongolian army, if we stick to the isolated city, we will definitely be defeated in the end.If you abandon the city and leave, you will waste this wonderful plan to conquer Yanjing.

In the future, the Mongols will definitely defend Nigu with heavy troops, and it will be difficult for us to conquer Yanjing. "

Liu Bowen slapped the feather fan lightly twice, and said with a smile,

"General Yang's concerns are right. But we did not conquer Yanjing to hold on to it for a long time. It is not yet the time to collect Yanyun sixteen prefectures.

We only need to burn 200 million stones of grain and grass in Yanjing City.

For this southern expedition, Wo Kuotai stockpiled a large amount of food and grass in the city of Yanjing, which he thought was safe and worry-free.Once Yanjing was lost, Wo Kuotai had no choice but to retreat.

As for General Yang's other concern, the odd trick is never to be repeated.

If we want to truly regain the Sixteen States of Yanyun, we still need to rely on a large number of elite cavalry. "

Liu Zheng estimated the distance from Zhending Mansion to Yanjing in his heart, and said a little worriedly,
"My lord prime minister, Zhending Mansion is only seven hundred miles away from Yanjing. If the Mongols get a warning, one person and three riders will arrive at Yanjing City in only three or four days. We don't have much time to attack the city. Although Yanjing City was Jinmeng and Mongolia have occupied it for a long time, and the city is not well-defended, but it is still a strong city after all."

Liu Bowen said confidently, "Don't worry! I have prepared a secret weapon for attacking the city, and I will definitely be able to conquer this city on the first day of arriving in Yanjing City."

Now that Liu Bowen has reached this point, Yang Miaozhen and Liu Zheng will not say anything more.

Liu Bowen looked at Yang Miaozhen and said with a smile,

"We have [-] war horses. After arriving in Nigu, General Yang can lead his cavalry to attack Yanjing with the secret weapon I mentioned. After breaking through Yanjing, we can set fire to the food and return to Nigu immediately.

The city of Yanjing has been lost to Hudi for nearly 300 years. If General Yang conquers Yanjing this time, he will surely be famous in Lingyan Pavilion and become a famous general through the ages. "
