The plains on both sides of the Grand Canal are now shrouded in a layer of late autumn colors. Looking around, they are all withered and yellow, extremely bleak.

Such a season is a good time for military strategists to conquer.

On the road from Yangzhou to Yangzi Bridge, more than ten Song knights were galloping along the canal regardless of horsepower. Seeing the rolling flags in the distance and the army coming in a large lineup, they waved their whips and whipped them a few times, driving the already exhausted and panting war horse under their crotch to accelerate again.

"Report..."

Before the troops arrived, the shouting sounds had already come from afar. They were the horse-sniffing cavalry of the Song army. Last night, they followed Jia Sidao's military order and went south along the canal to inquire about the battle situation in the Yangzi Bridge. The Mongolian army "suddenly" arrived near Yangzhou Bridge at dusk yesterday, and two or three Mongolian teams of thousands of men were inserted between Yangzi Bridge and Guazhou, cutting off the only way for Dong Songchen, the eunuch who was appointed as the envoy of the Baokang Army Chengxuan in the Yangtze Bridge city to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River.

The eunuchs in the Song Dynasty actually had little power, and the number of people was the highest in all dynasties. The number of eunuchs used during the Song Dynasty was only more than fifty eunuchs, and the number of people given during the Renzong period was 180. The number of eunuchs decreased to a thousand during the Song Dynasty. By the Song Dynasty, the number of eunuchs increased, but by the Southern Song Dynasty, the number of people decreased again. During the Xiaozong period, the number of people was 250, and it was spread to the official Zhao Yun without any increase.

However, after the eunuchs of the Song Dynasty were promoted to a certain level, they would be transferred to military capital. One of the great Song Dynasty military officers who valued martial arts and were less powerful! These military officers who had no eggs in the Song Dynasty were not necessarily famous. There were many eunuch generals who led troops to fight. There were as many as 18 eunuch generals who could fight in just the passing of the dynasty! The most famous of them was Tong Guan, who once led the Privy Council and commanded the army to attack Liao.

Although Tong Guan's battle against Liao was not very good, he still knew the military. However, the eunuchs from the Southern Song Dynasty who were observing the title of Chengxuan envoy were not aware of military affairs, because since the Song court moved south, there were no eunuchs who led the army to fight. Dong Songchen, who was appointed as the fourth-rank official, was no exception. Not to mention leading the army to fight, he had never even been on the battlefield once. He did not dare to go on it! This time, he was sent by Zhao Yun, an official, to nod, and was surrounded by the Mongolians on the Yangtze Bridge as soon as he crossed the river. He had no place to run. It was really a bad life!

But luckily, the Mongols only besieged the city and did not attack. They obviously decided to surround the site and attacked the aid. They used this Dong Songchen as a fish hook to catch Jia Sidao, a treacherous and slippery big fish.

A ranger will hold down the war horses under Jia Sidao's commander's flag, turn over and kneel down in front of Jia Sidao, and report loudly: "Dude! Duke! The Tartar soldiers have surrounded the Yangtze Bridge, with tens of thousands of people, and more than ten thousand Tartar cavalry!"

When he heard that there were tens of thousands of Tartar cavalry, the generals and staff surrounding Jia Sidao, all breathed secretly. Only the treacherous minister himself was calm and waved his hand gently: "I understand, go down and receive the reward."

"Everyone," the treacherous minister glanced around, and captured the subtle changes in the general's faces in his eyes, and smiled faintly, "The angel of the official family is on the Yangtze Bridge, and he happened to witness with his own eyes how we destroyed the Northern Barbarian Army. Your contributions can reach the heavenly listening immediately. How good is it?"

Not to mention, this treacherous minister really has a bit of a general's demeanor. No wonder Mengge Kublai Khan can suffer a loss under his command.

Chen Dexing was also among the generals. After hearing Jia Sidao's words, he nodded secretly and took the lead in shouting: "I want to follow my husband to defeat the northern enemy at Yangzi Bridge!"

"A family is willing to follow her husband to defeat the northern enemy at Yangzi Bridge!"

The martial artists hurriedly shouted, and they really looked a little high in morale.

Jia Sidao stroked his beard, nodded with satisfaction, turned his eyes to Chen Dexing, and said with a smile: "Qingzhi, today's battle depends on how the artillery army makes contributions!"

As soon as he said this, Chen Dexing felt a dozen jealous eyes sweeping around him. He had eaten alone last time, and if he wanted to eat again this time, he would really hate him.

"Duke, the artillery army is an instrument soldier, and cannot handle the enemy's hand-to-hand combat. If there is no protection from the army, the Tatar cavalry will be trampled for a while and we will be wiped out. In today's battle, we still have to rely on the Privy Councillor to plan and fight for the soldiers of the army to fight. Our artillery army is just a supporter in the back, and we are satisfied with the success of the previous success."

He also understood some truths. Jia Sidao's eyes swept over the generals, "What do you think?"

"Some family is based on the instructions of my husband."

"I listened to my husband all in one family."

All the generals had already seen the power of the thunder of the sky yesterday. Jia Sidao only asked Chen Dexing to hand over a hundred stone launchers, but did not ask him to hand over the thunder of the sky. Although the treacherous minister did not ask Chen Dexing how these thunders came from, he also knew that it was hard to come and could not be thrown around casually. So he did not let Chen Dexing allocate them to the army, but just ordered people to pluck some ordinary iron cannons. In fact, as long as they were accurate, it would be enough for the Mongolian army to bear it. If they could not be beaten, they would be useless even if they installed Tien Ti.

"It's so good. You all return to your respective troops and urge the soldiers to move forward quickly. Today, we will arrive at Yangzi Bridge and fight to the death with the Northern Barbarians!"

...

At the same time, dozens of Mongolian knights were also heading south along the road next to the river bank of the Grand Canal. They were the Mongols' horse scouts, and were scattered by Yeliu in the wilderness between Yangzhou City and Yangzi Bridge, monitoring the Song army's every move.

The news that the main force of the Song army left Yangzhou City was soon spread to the foot of Yangzhou Bridge through these Mongolian probes. The Yangzi Bridge was originally named Yangzijin and was originally a ferry. Guazhou in the south of Yangzhou Bridge was originally an island. Passengers who crossed the south of Yangzhou boarded the boat in Yangzijin. However, due to the silt, Guazhou has become an Yangzi Bridge. Therefore, Yangzijin has become the Yangzi Bridge.

Although it is called Yangzi Bridge, it is not the only one that is lonely. It is a very wealthy town, which is probably not much worse than the prefecture city in the north at this time. After the Jurchens invaded the Central Plains, this Yangzi Bridge Town naturally became an important part of the Yangzhou defense system because it protected the back of Yangzhou. It built a tall city wall and dug a moat of ten battles wide. Now it is stationed with nearly 8,000 troops from the Wu Rui Army, the Guerrilla Navy, the You Yi Army and other troops. In addition, it has mobilized and organized three or four thousand brave archers to participate in the battle. Although such defense cannot be regarded as solid, it is impossible to break the city without fighting for ten days and half a month without fighting.

So Liu Gan had no intention of siege at all. He just surrounded the city and waited for Jia Sidao to bring troops to rescue him. Fortunately, he had a battle in the wild.

"Come? Hahaha, it's good to be here!" After receiving the military report, Ye Liugan burst into laughter. "This time, I can capture Jia Sidao alive and avenge the Mongolian athletes who died in the city of Yangzhou!"

"Master, you need to be careful about Chen Dexing and Li San's inquiry. The person surnamed Chen was promoted to the commander-in-chief by Jia Sidao. He had a thousand five-strong army under his command. It is said that he had offered a stone-driven machine that could shoot iron cannon fireballs."

Alihan, who suffered a great loss by Chen Dexing by the Guarantee River last time, has now lost his position as a thousand households. He just followed his father as a guard, but his status is not comparable to that of ordinary guards and he is still qualified to participate in the military. Seeing that his father underestimated the enemy, he went forward to remind him.

"Isn't it just a stone generator? My Mongolian also has one. It's a siege. When will it be possible to fight in the field?" Ye Liugan waved his hand and looked back at the generals behind him who were eager to try. He smiled and said, "If Jia Sidao is guarding Yangzhou and not leaving, we can do nothing to him. Since he has come out, the death period will come! As long as we break through tens of thousands of defenders in Yangzhou, we won't let us wash the flowers of the two Huaihe worlds?"
