Chapter 500: The Tartars who have passed here die
Hanzhou.
"One of the people is left to one, and the thoughts are broken."
Yang Feng stood by the Duck River and said somewhat sadly.
He found less than 5,000 residents in Chengdu, a former beautiful city. The Hanzhou behind him is Guanghan or Luo City. The total number of men, women, young and old is less than 1,000. Even the city walls have collapsed and abandoned. There are no one cleaning bones everywhere. This is still a city. The countryside in Dujiangyan is almost extinct, and tigers and wild wolves are everywhere. Even wild wolves appear in Chengdu.
This is the country of Heavenly Prefecture.
The Mongolian cavalry spread death and destruction to all the places they passed by like a plague sweeping by. This is a real catastrophe, a catastrophe of civilization, a catastrophe of barbarism that destroys civilization.
The soldiers behind him stood silently.
On the north bank of Yazi River opposite them, a large number of Mongolian cavalry were galloping on the alert. They had just entered Deyang, including those who escaped from Chengdu, but did not counterattack Chengdu. Obviously they did not have the courage to face him. In addition, Chengdu was not something they had to fight for. Their bottom line should be the Fu River. In recent years, the Mongolian army's southward advance took Longyou as the starting point, but in Hanzhong, they maintained a large number of garrisons, and they usually attacked each other with the Song army. Once they were preparing for a large-scale attack, they mobilized Mongolian cavalry from Mobei and the old Xixia to enter Hanzhong and then went south to Sichuan, or directly entered Sichuan from Longyou, so that they had to control the various roads entering Sichuan in advance.
Taurus Road, which is the Jiange route.
The Yonekura Road, which is the Nanjiang and Bazhong route.
Yinping Road, which is the route from Jiangyou, Gansu.
These three routes correspond to the Jialing River, Qu River and Fu River respectively. Then the Mongolian army followed the Sanjiang River downstream to support the logistics attack with water transportation, and the three rivers eventually converged in Diaoyu City, which is the crucial reason why Diaoyu City is.
But nothing else matters.
It is good to get it, but there is no loss if you can't get it.
The same is true for Chengdu, including the core of Xichuan. The importance of Chengdu in the past is that it is too rich and can serve as the core area of its rule, but now it is meaningless. The city has been destroyed, and the Kuoduan massacre has made its glory no longer. It can no longer provide wealth. The reason why the Mongolian army still occupied it was just to take root in Xichuan. In recent years, under the suggestion of the surrendered Han generals, they have begun to learn control rather than purely killing and plundering. Chengdu is very suitable for a base, but it is no big deal if they lose Chengdu, because it is not damaged by their strategy.
In this way, Yang Feng understood what to do!
"Come on my knife!"
Yang Feng suddenly said.
"Come on the Immortal Lord's sword!"
Han Lin shouted.
With a neat horn, six burly men carried the ship-cutting knife on wooden bars, walked slowly to Yang Feng with neat and heavy steps, and then carried the handle of the knife to a rock, and then removed the rope.
The Mongolian cavalry on the other side looked here vigilantly.
Because a large number of cavalry who had fought with Yang Feng fled, they all knew about Yang Feng's cruelty, especially his terrifying giant sword, which cut off more than a dozen people with one knife. After the interpretation of the word-of-mouth is extremely terrifying. So far, there has been a great knight, and both of them died at Yang Feng's hands. At least the Mongolian troops in Sichuan have already known his horror.
With a vigilant look on the other side of the shore, Yang Feng reached out his hand and picked up the hilt, then sneered and jumped up suddenly, holding the ship-cut knife inverted, aiming the tip of the knife at the crack of the rock, and roared and stabbed it in the air.
Along with a loud noise, Mars splashed.
Then the ship-cutting knife was directly inserted into the rock nearly one meter deep.
"The Immortal Lord's Divine Power is invincible!"
The shouts behind him rang neatly.
The Mongolian cavalry opposite was in chaos, and it was obviously shocked by this scene.
Yang Feng stood proudly in front of the knife.
"The Tartars die after this!"
He roared to the opposite bank, and at the same time he picked up an iron ball with a big head next to him, throwing it up the moment smoke came out of the iron ball, then lifted his foot and kicked it away. The object flew across the Yazi River with a faint trace of smoke, and suddenly turned into a ball of explosive flames. Then there was an explosion sound like the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. The war horses under the crotch of the Mongolian cavalry were so scared that they all turned around and fled to the distance in chaos.
"Let's go back to Chengdu!"
Yang Feng clapped his hands and said.
That's all. He temporarily demarcated the Mongolians in this way. After he left, the bandits who stayed here could spread news. He said that he was possessed by Chengdu, so Chengdu was equivalent to his hometown. He would never tolerate the Mongols occupying Chengdu. If the Mongolian army dared to cross the Yazi River to harass Chengdu, the Immortal Lord would come to deal with the people who dared to offend his majesty. But if the Mongolian army honestly did not cross the line, he would not attack on it. In short, the two sides truce in this way to create an exclusive territory of the Immortal Lord, so that the soldiers of the bandits would move their families in eastern Sichuan and continue farming in the Chengdu Plain.
Because of him ensuring safety, the people who fled into the mountains will definitely return gradually and will quickly recover from prosperity here.
After all, the conditions here are so good.
Before, it was just because of the lack of security, but it would be different with him, the god, as a god. With a population, you can train more troops. Although it was a bit early to equip the bandit army with cannons, it was not difficult to train a cold weapon army that could fight, as long as you depart from the military system of the Southern Song Dynasty that purely turned people into waste.
The cold weapon army is not unable to resist the Mongolian cavalry.
The core of Mongolian cavalry is the heavy cavalry.
But their heavy cavalry is not stronger than Jin Wushu's Tiefutu. The reason why the Southern Song army was defeated in front of the Mongolian cavalry was because the Southern Song army was weak. Meng Gong could fight with the Mongolian cavalry with a little strengthening. If it were replaced by the Yue Family Army at its peak, it would be terrible to defeat the Mongolian cavalry. Liu Qi had already proved that the heavy armored infantry that could really defeat the heavy cavalry.
Heavy armor, spear, battle axe, oar knife, divine arm bow, and firm will, Iron Pagoda broke into the infantry like a halberd.
The weak chickens of Song Army are completely a system of the pot.
The civil and nobles are inferior to the military. It is like defending the military generals. When the military generals have a record, they will immediately suppress them. The army tries every means to add ropes to the neck. If they are a little stronger, they will immediately tighten the ropes. They are specifically for civil officials to be the military. The military generals are just coolies, just like the Northern Song Dynasty. The result is that the military generals no longer aim to fight, but aim to flatter civil officials and get rich. The army does not train at all. When they are defeated during the war, the talented people can't stand the aggrievance and surrender to the enemy. It is simply natural that it will not be allowed to be destroyed.
Yashan is a sigh, but after sighing, you really have to think about it. It was done by yourself!
How tragic it is for a hundred thousand men to jump into the sea.
But it is ridiculous that a hundred thousand scholars would rather jump into the sea than no one turned around and fought desperately with the enemy.
If we really want to restore the martial spirit of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, even if we only recover to the level that we were forced to recover a little by the shame of Jingkang, then the national strength and population of the Southern Song Dynasty would probably be able to protect ourselves.
Of course, this is what Yang Feng wants to do to the entire Southern Song Dynasty.
As for the bandit army, what he had to do next was to train with cold weapons first. There was no need to cheat them. At most, add counterweight catapults, but the equipment still maintained the level of the Song army, and then trained completely according to the standards of the Yue family army. With such an army, it was enough to ensure the safety of Chengdu. Even if the Mongolian army dared to attack his territory, these people would be enough to support him until he came back to rescue.
In this controlled area, land allocation was first completed, self-cultivation and agriculture were restored in the early Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, soldiers and civilians combined to play reserves, and even compulsory education was carried out, so that his population would be available.
But in theory it is still the land of the Song Dynasty.
Of course, the Song Dynasty definitely cannot control it. It is the forefront abandoned land. The Lin'an court will not care about it at all, and the local officials in Sichuan will not care about it either. After all, it has been marked by Yang Xianzun, and Chengdu is in the hands of the bandits, which ensures the safety of Luzhou and southern Sichuan. They only need to do their best to deal with the enemy attacking from north to east of Sichuan, without worrying about the last time, Niao Lin's army descended along the Neijiang River and entered the Yangtze River and bypassed Chongqing, cutting off the connection between Chongqing and the east of the Three Gorges downstream. The core defense system of Diaoyucheng and Chongqing is safe behind it.
In this way, Chengdu and its affiliated cities will become a country in the middle of the country, a country in the middle of the country belonging to Yang Feng. This place relies on Dujiangyan to support millions of people without any pressure.
In short, Chengdu won it like this.
He ignored the training of the Bandit Army. The army was expanded again in Chengdu, especially the two thousand surrendered troops, with a total force of 12,000, and even a cavalry of about 200 people. They were quickly divided into two brigades and a garrison by Yang Feng, one brigade stationed in Yunding Mountain City and the other brigade stationed in Chengdu. The garrison stationed in Luocheng and organized manpower to rebuild Luocheng. As for the land around Chengdu, they could open up land at any time, and the families of the Bandit Army in eastern Sichuan were also called back, with each household limit of 100 acres, and the land belonged to them. This was given to them by Yang Xianzun, as for the original landlord...
Those who have not escaped must have surrendered to the enemy, and their land must be confiscated.
Those who escaped will not come back for a short time, even if they come back, then ask the swords of the soldiers of the bandits first.
Chapter completed!
