Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

It is said that Jiang Hongfei captured Wanzhou City and rested in Wanzhou for more than ten days. He divided his troops and horses, advanced by land and water, and led 300,000 troops to attack Shannan Army.

Soon, scouts reported that Chu knew that Jiang Hongfei had led a large army, and specially added 20,000 new soldiers to the northern foot of Longzhong Mountain, and ordered brave generals He Ji, Guo Jian, Chen Yun and others to lead the troops and horses to guard there.

Zhang Jun, the left forward, heard the news and personally led his troops to attack the Chu army, killing Geng Wen and Xue Zan, killing and wounding a large number of Chu soldiers, and seized a thousand war horses, which dealt a heavy blow to the Chu army.

The next day, Jiang Hongfei and other troops arrived at the northern foot of Longzhong Mountain, joined forces with Zhang Jun and others, and then came to the front of Shannanzhou City together and set up camp.

Jiang Hongfei went to the tent and discussed the strategy of attacking the city with the military advisors and generals.

Liu Hui Niang asked people to raise his flying tower, and Jiang Hongfei and others climbed up the flying tower to see the situation of the city.

After coming down, Wu Yong said to Jiang Hongfei: "This city is not big, there are many defenders, and the fortifications are complete. It is useless to attack. Let's pretend to attack and wait for an opportunity."

Other military advisors and generals agreed with Wu Yong's statement.

Jiang Hongfei ordered Liu Guangshi to lead his troops to pretend to attack the city, and at the same time sent fine scouts to detect news from all sides.

Let's not talk about Jiang Hongfei and his ministers planning to attack the city, but the main general guarding the city in Shannanzhou City, that is, Wang Qing's brother-in-law Duan Er.

Wang Qing heard that Jiang Hongfei was about to arrive in Shannan in person, so he conferred Duan Er as the Grand Marshal of Pingdong and asked him to come here to guard the city.

Duan Er was originally a village man, how could he know how to lead troops to fight?

However, Duan Er had a few generals under him who were quite capable. At present, they were mainly leading the Chu army in the city to defend the city.

In addition, Duan Er listened to the advice of his generals and sent a detachment to attack Wanzhou City in an attempt to recapture the city.

Soon, Shi Qian and other people who reported to the secret special camp who sneaked into Shannan City got the information and passed it back to Jiang Hongfei.

Jiang Hongfei left a total of 200,000 troops in Xiangyang and Wanzhou, and left many generals and generals. They were definitely not a threat to the small fish and shrimps sent by Duan Er.

At this time, the surrendered general Liu Min came to Jiang Hongfei and said, "I heard that my Yuan navy ships have all been stationed in the Han River and Xiang River in the northwest of the city. It is better to capture this city with water..."

It turned out that Liu Min was thinking about learning from Guan Yu to flood the seven armies and flood the Xiangfan area.

Unfortunately, Liu Min waited for many days, but it didn't rain. In addition, the drought lasted for several days and the water level of the Yangtze River dropped, which made Liu Min's plan unable to be implemented. Later, he fell into Liu Hui Niang's plan to lure the enemy and switched to fire attack, which resulted in a great defeat.

Liu Min wanted to prove himself and also wanted to gain a place in the new Yuan Empire, so he proposed this plan of flooding Shannan City to Jiang Hongfei.

Jiang Hongfei thought Liu Min's plan was feasible, so he asked Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, and infantry leaders such as Wu Song, Li Kui, and Liu Tang to cooperate with him.

I don't know if God is helping Jiang Hongfei.

Before that, there were continuous droughts and no rain.

When Liu Min was about to use water attack to help Jiang Hongfei break Shannan City, it rained heavily for several days.

A Chu general saw this and came to see Duan Er, advising him: "Our Shannan City is very low in terrain; although there are earthen hills, they are a little far from the camp. Now the autumn rains are continuous, and the soldiers are suffering. Recently, someone reported that the Yuan army moved to a high place and prepared war rafts outside the city. If the river water rises, our army will be in danger: we should make plans early."

Duan Er scolded: "You are confusing our army! Anyone who says more will be beheaded!"

The Chu general retreated in shame when he saw this.

It is said that since Liu Min proposed the plan to flood Shannan City to Jiang Hongfei, it has been raining for five consecutive days. Liu Min and Ruan Xiaoer and other generals cut wood and made rafts in the rain. They acted on their own and everything was ready.

That night, the wind and rain were heavy, the clouds were thick, and in the middle of the night, there was heavy rain and thunder.

Duan Er hosted a banquet for a group of Chu generals in the city to comfort them for their hard work in the battles for days. There were eunuchs and concubines in the tent who accompanied the army, and they had a feast in the tent.

All I heard was shouts that shook the sky, thousands of horses vying to run, and drums shaking the ground, like the sound of thousands of horses galloping wildly.

In an instant, the water surged, and the raging waves flew over, flooding Shannan City.

The Chu generals were all shocked and hurried out of the tent to look. The floods came suddenly from all directions; the soldiers and civilians in the city were running around, and countless people were following the waves.

Outside the city, Liu Min, Ruan Xiaoer and others rode on Feijiang Tianfu and approached the city, just at the same height as the city wall.

The soldiers of the Yuan army climbed up the city, each holding a sharp blade, and hacked and killed the soldiers guarding the city.

Another Yuan army soldier rushed in on a raft, and the city wall was washed away and collapsed.

Duan Er led a group of Chu generals to climb to high places to avoid the water.

Duan Er was complaining on the tower when Ruan Xiaowu came up from Feijiang with a broadsword in hand. He shouted and rushed up the tower. He chopped down more than ten soldiers in a row, and everyone fled for their lives. Duan Er was unable to dodge and was chopped down by Ruan Xiaowu with a broadsword. Ruan Xiaowu rushed forward and chopped off his head with a knife.

By dawn, the water had receded, and countless soldiers and civilians in the city had drowned or been crushed. Beams, pillars, doors, window frames, and other objects were buried downstream in the south city.

According to statistics after the war, there were less than 3,000 soldiers and civilians who escaped in the city, and the rest died in the flood.

Water and fire are merciless, and they are true to me.

Seeing this, Jiang Hongfei sighed and asked Xiao Jiasui and other civil officials to bury the soldiers and civilians in Shannan, help those who survived, and then move some nearby people to live in the city with a policy that benefits the people.

Jiang Hongfei personally led 300,000 troops to attack Jingnan after leaving the aftermath to Xiao Jiasui and others.

The Yuan army marched 60 miles a day to set up camp, and the people were not harmed in any place where the army passed.

In a few days, the vanguard of the Yuan army had already reached Jishan.

Jishan is located in the north of Jingnan and is an important town in Jingnan. There is a general named Li Huai who is in charge of 30,000 troops and guards the mountain.

This Li Huai was Li Zhu's nephew. Wang Qing appointed him as the propaganda envoy. When he heard that Jiang Hongfei, the emperor and his ministers flooded Shannan and annihilated all 780,000 Shannan troops, and Duan Er was killed, he sent someone to Nanfeng at night to report to Wang Qing. , Li Zhu, said to them: "The Yuan Dynasty's army is powerful, and he has defeated two major counties. Now that we are coming to attack Jingnan, we should prepare early."

Li Zhu was shocked when he heard the report, and immediately entered the palace to report to Wang Qing.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Wang Qing and Duan Sanniang were quarreling.

It turned out that since Wang Qing took Jiaoxiu as his concubine, he never came to Duan Sanniang again. Duan Sanniang was so angry that she scratched Wang Qing, and the two started fighting in the harem.

Seeing this, Li Zhu was angry and refused to fight!

He murmured: "The Great Yuan Army has come over. At this critical moment, he and his wife do not work together to defend against the enemy. Instead, they are living here in dissolute and jealous ways. How can they defend against a powerful enemy?!"

Li Zhu waited for three hours before Wang Qing asked someone to ask if Li Zhu was still there.

Li Zhutie said with a green face: "Waiting here!"

The chamberlain passed the message in.

After a cup of tea, Wang Qingcai hugged him out.

After Li Zhu bowed down and danced, he said: "My nephew Li Huai reported that General Yuan Dynasty was brave and strong, and he defeated the two cities of Wanzhou and Shannan. The situation is critical, and King Fuqi sent troops to help."

Wang Qing was furious after hearing this: "Jiang Yan, regardless of the past friendship, four families attacked the Yuan Dynasty, but he came to fight me alone. What's the point? If I don't defeat him, it's really hard to get rid of my bad temper!" Then he surrendered. According to the decree, Du Guan, the governor, and Xie Yu, the general of the army, were ordered to lead 24 generals and 50,000 troops to rescue Jingnan.

The second general received the military order, selected troops and horses, arranged the equipment, brought food and grass, and immediately came to rescue Jingnan.

Let's talk about the Yuan army. They stationed troops ten miles north of Jishan Mountain. Jiang Hongfei, the emperor and his ministers discussed countermeasures.

Wu Yong said: "I heard that Li Huai's men are all brave soldiers. The five tigers of Jishan are all extraordinary in strength. Jishan is also an important town in Jingnan. Although the soldiers and horses I have here are twice as many as those of thieves, the thieves are in danger." , I am under the shadow of the mountain, and I am imprisoned by the enemy. That Li Huai is cunning and cunning, and the brothers are fighting, so we must watch the situation and do not watch him. "

Wu Yong was right, the Jishan Five Tigers were pretty good.

But that was against the former Shuibo Liangshan.

Nowadays, the Five Tigers of Jishan can only be the middle and top generals in the Great Yuan Army.

Jiang Hongfei is full of confidence in this.

The next day, the Yuan army prepared meals at the fifth watch. The sergeants had a good meal, and the horses ate gravy. They started fighting in peacetime.

Li Huai also led his side generals Ma Teng, Ma Jin, Yuan Lang, Teng Shun and Teng Kan, with 20,000 soldiers and horses. They rushed down and lined up at Pingyang at the northern foot. There were many soldiers and horses on the mountain to support them.

At the moment, the two armies were facing each other at the foot of the mountain. The flags were fluttering in the two formations. Both sides were in formation, each using strong bows and crossbows to shoot at the bases. The drums and drums were noisy, and the colorful flags were blinding.

Soon, the gate flags in the Chu army's formation were opened, and general Yuan Lang took the lead to fight.

He held two water-melting steel pots in his hand and shouted: "Thief general, who dares to come forward and take your life!"

The king goes out to fight.

Although Yuan Lang used all his magical powers and fought bravely, Wang Jin was able to capture the horse in less than eighty rounds.

Next, Ma Yi and Ma Jin went into battle one after another, and were captured alive by Lin Chong and Guan Sheng respectively.

Failing to fight against the generals, Li Huai could only lead the army to fight against the Yuan army.

The Dayuan army took the Tiefutu left army led by Bian Xiang as the vanguard.

As for the Chu army, Teng Shun and Teng Kan led five thousand cavalry to fight. Their officers and soldiers were all wearing heavy helmets and iron armor, with only a pair of eyes exposed; the horses were all wearing heavy armor and wore masks, with only their four hooves exposed. The ground turned out to be a heavy cavalry with armor.

It's easy to kill both sides.

This was also the most decent battle fought by the Chu army since Jiang Hongfei's personal expedition.

Liu Huiniang asked Jiang Hongfei: "Why don't we send out a thunder car?"

Jiang Hongfei shook his head.

Although Jiang Hongfei had brought the Thunder Chariot just in case, to be honest, Jiang Hongfei was not prepared to use the Thunder Chariot in the battle in the Central Plains.

Jiang Hongfei planned to use the Thunder Chariot as a powerful weapon in a decisive battle with the Jin Army or the Xixia Army, so that he could catch them by surprise and decide the outcome in a single battle.

Besides, there is no need for a thunder car in this small scene.

really!

Soon, Bian Xiang chopped off Teng Si with an axe, and then led the left army of Tiefutu to defeat the Chu army's armored heavy cavalry.

At this time, Wu Song, Li Kui, Liu Tang and others, who were already ready to attack, led the hook, sickle, spear, mazao, knives, and ax departments to rush forward.

After these infantry troops rushed forward, they fought hand to hand with the Chu army's armored heavy cavalry.

Seeing this, Li Huai was shocked and quickly led the Chu army to rescue him.

Without Jiang Hongfei's greeting, Liu Huiniang ordered Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Qin Ming, Shi Jin, Tang Bin, Luan Tingyu, Sun Li and other generals to lead their respective cavalry troops to greet him.

Facing the excellent cavalry from the North like the Dayuan Army, and even the Hulu Rangers, how could the second-class cavalry from the Chu Army be their opponents?

Infantry versus cavalry?

Then he is no longer an opponent.

In fact, the reason why Li Huai dared to go down the mountain to fight with the Yuan army in the field was because of the five thousand armored heavy cavalry in his hands.

Don't think about it, Li Huai's baby bump is no match for the Yuan Army.

The result is obvious, the Chu army was defeated.

Seeing that the situation was over, Li Huai could only retreat to Jishan, hoping to take advantage of it slowly.

But before Li Huai and the others could escape, they heard shouts of killing coming from the mountain.

It turned out that while they were fighting the Chu army head-on, Xie Zhen and Jie Bao also led their mountain troops to climb mountains and ridges and kill Jishan.

At that time, there were only 5,000 old and weak men and one general in the stronghold. They could not defeat the 10,000 tigers and wolves of Jie Zhen and Jie Bao. Naturally, they killed and surrendered, and captured the stronghold.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Huai and others wanted to take a detour down the mountain and escape to Nanfeng.

But before Li Huai and others could take action, two Yuan armies blocked the way down the mountain for Li Huai and other Chu troops.

At this time, Jiang Hongfei sent Wu Yong to persuade Li Huai and others to surrender.

Wu Yong was so bold that he came to Li Huai's army alone and said to Li Huai: "At the foot of Mulan Mountain, my Majesty and your uncle had a gentleman's agreement. One day, if Wang Qing fails, he will come to join my Majesty. Now, Wang Qing is arrogant and extravagant. , do not practice virtuous government, and the people are complaining. Everyone in Huainan welcomes me to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. The Chu army encountered along the way will either surrender or flee in all directions. There are few resisters. The arrival of my army will not last more than a month. I have conquered half of your family. Facts have proved that your majesty has destiny. Wang Qing will kill you sooner or later. I hope Li Xuanfu will lead the people to vote for me for the sake of the world, his subordinates, and your family. "

Li Huai heard Li Zhu say that he and Jiang Hongfei had a gentleman's agreement.

Moreover, just as Wu Yong said, Wang Qing is just a local tycoon, not someone who has achieved great things at all.

Looking back at the beginning, the four major bandits were actually about the same strength.

No.

At the beginning, Wang Qing occupied Huaixi, which had the largest territory and the fewest enemies. Moreover, the area had a large population and fertile land, so he was the most advantageous bandit.

But after so many years, Wang Qing's strength is still shrinking, let alone getting stronger.

This is mainly because Wang Qing not only failed to benefit one party, but on the contrary, he imposed exorbitant taxes and extorted money, scrapping the ground, so that he lost the support of the people.

Looking at Jiang Hongfei again, he now has the potential to unify.

Compare the two and make a judgment.

Li Huai was not of the Qin Dynasty and the Chu Dynasty.

However, the situation really did not allow Li Huai to be a loyal minister of Chu.

In the end, Li Huai led Jishan's remaining defeated generals and surrendered to the Yuan Empire.

Then, Li Huai cooperated with the Yuan army to annihilate the 50,000 Chu army sent by Wang Qing for reinforcements.

After passing Jishan, the Dayuan army never encountered any decent resistance.

Even the defenders of Jingnan City abandoned the city and fled, and the Yuan army conquered another large county without any blood.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Hongfei personally led the Great Yuan land and water army and drove all the way to the border of Nanfeng...

Not only that, Wu Jie, Yelu Dashi, Yue Fei and other generals also invaded Shu from Shaanxi...

Also, Lu Zhishen also led a partial force to attack Jinghu South Road from Guangnan West Road...

By the time Jiang Hongfei led the main force of the Yuan army to cross Longmen Mountain, three groups of Yuan armies were already threatening to encircle Nanfeng, the capital of Chu State...
