The sudden deterioration of the war situation began at the end of April. After Niulin led his troops to reinforce Chengdu, the Mongolian army gained momentum, and the balance of the battlefield gradually shifted to the Mongolian side. Pu Zezhi organized several major offensives in succession, but they were repelled by the Mongolian army.

.Immediately afterwards Wang Dechen led the Mongolian Lizhou

Five thousand fine cavalry from the garrison came to the rescue quickly, which put the Song army at an even greater disadvantage. After the Mongolian army took the initiative on the battlefield, they continued to attack the Song army's barracks. However, blocked by trenches and fences, the cavalry advantage could not be used. Although the Mongolian army defeated the Song army,

The army was tired of fighting, but in eagerness

However, he was unable to break through the fortress and did not gain much advantage. Seeing that the strong attack failed, Niulin adopted Liu Heima's strategy and sent troops to harass the Song army's grain roads. He also sent a large number of rangers to plunder the countryside of prefectures and counties, using a scorched-earth policy.

Weaken the supply and war potential of the Song Army.

After the Mongolian army carried out large-scale plunder, the Song army had no choice but to huddle in the cities of prefectures and counties, allowing a large number of forts and stockades in the countryside to be breached, property and food to be plundered, a large number of houses to be burned, and the people to be killed or plundered as slaves.

, and the rest fled in all directions.

The people fled in the same direction as the previous times, and most of them fled into the nearby prefectures and counties to seek asylum. This time, the government accepted the refugees into the city. In addition to Pu Ze's order, it was also due to Liu Heima's invasion.

After Chengdu, cities in western Sichuan are seriously lacking in population. More importantly,

What's more, there is still about half a month before the wheat is ripe for the summer harvest. Harvesting requires labor. In addition to supplying military supplies, there is also surplus food for the refugees. A few people from wealthy families take boats to Jiading Prefecture and Chongqing Prefecture.

Some refugees fled to the mountains. For a time, Peng and Qiong

, Mian and Chongqing Prefecture and other mountainous areas in western Sichuan Prefecture, a large number of refugees poured in. Due to the publicity during the early reconnaissance operation, the northwest mountainous area of ​​Chongqing Prefecture controlled by the Perak Army had the largest number of refugees, with more than 20,000 people.

.In addition to being resettled in Jiguan Mountain, some of these refugees were resettled in Perak.

Wugenshan, Meihuazhai and other places under military rule. The huge amount of resettlement work made Li Shuang, Lu Dezhi, Yang Xiucai and others busy again. Fortunately, the climate was warm at this time, and there was no shortage of wild vegetables and fruits, plus thunderbolt.

Although the refugees could not eat well with the army's relief food, they could still survive.

It was not only refugees who fled to the rule of the Perak Army, but also a defeated army of 200 people. After Pu Zezhi counterattacked Chengdu, the Mongolian cavalry stationed in Qingcheng County, Daojiang County and Guankou Village east of Yongkang City returned one after another.

Withdrew from Chengdu, leaving only the new auxiliary troops stationed. After Yao Shian of Yunding City learned that the Mongolian army had withdrawn,

, he ordered his confidant Lin De stationed in Pengzhou to recover these three places to expand his territory. The new auxiliary troops in these three places were originally the Song army's Xiang army, and their combat effectiveness and fighting will were very weak. Seeing that Lin De

When he led his army to attack, he surrendered again. In a short time, Linde's number of men increased from 500 to 300.

Thousands of people. The growth in strength also brought about the expansion of ambitions. Lin De, who was in the air, also became obedient to Yao Shian's orders. Not only did he refuse to select elites to go to Yunding City, he also refused to send money and food to Pu Zhezhi's military camp. He occupied

These three places are the dismantled Yongkang Army. The army in the Song Dynasty was with Yuzhou,

Military and political institutions at the government level are often set up in important military locations. In this troubled world, strength is king. If you follow the example, he can become a warlord who controls one side with his strength. He has been under the mean and unkind Yao Shi'an for a long time.

Living in trembling fear, I have had enough of this life of relying on others.

However, Lin De was not proud for long. After the Mongols took advantage of the battlefield, they sent people to plunder the prefectures and counties. As a result, Qingcheng surrendered to him, and the two counties of Daojiang surrendered to the Mongols. In fact, Lin De was not satisfied with these capricious surrenders.

It’s not that there is no defense

After he took possession of the three places, he sent his confidants to lead one hundred elite troops to garrison the two cities respectively to monitor and suppress the newly annexed annexed army. The five hundred people directly under him were the elite troops of the Song army in Yunding City, and their combat power was comparable to

Qingcheng and Daojiang counties

The surrendered army was much stronger. Therefore, those who surrendered were not treated equally. Instead, they were arbitrarily insulted and robbed of their property. Lin De did not care about this, because the same was true within the Song Army in Yunding City, and the soldiers were also divided into three groups.

Sixty-nine, etc. It’s just him

What I didn't expect was that although these rebels were scumbags and were as timid as mice in front of the Mongolian cavalry, they were as fierce as tigers in killing their own people. The Mongolian cavalry only tried to persuade them to surrender in the two cities of Qingcheng and Daojiang, and they killed them.

Lin De's confidants presented the city and surrendered.

"It's not that you can't betray, but it depends on how big the benefit is." If the price is right, Linde is also willing to surrender to the Mongols. So when a Mongolian hundred-man team persuaded them to surrender at the foot of Guankou Village, he made the move to surrender.

and prepared to send envoys to negotiate with the Mongols. Now there are still a thousand troops in Guankou Village. According to the Mongols' recruitment

By lowering the standard, he could obtain the official position of county magistrate, which was not much different from his official rank in the Song army. Although in the Song Dynasty system, the county magistrate was a civilian official and had a much higher status than military attachés of the same rank, but Lin De was not satisfied. He wanted

He was the governor of Pengzhou, and wanted the Mongols to return the territory and people of Qingcheng and Daojiang counties to him.

The reason why Linde was so confident to negotiate terms with the Mongols was that he still had 300 direct subordinates under him, and the remaining 700 were also elites selected from the newly annexed army. Unfortunately, the village was too small, with only a thousand troops stationed there.

pole

There is a limit, otherwise Lin De will personally lead more troops. Guankou Village was originally a military stronghold of the Yongkang Army. Its defensive facilities are much more complete than those of Qingcheng and Daojiang City, which have broken city defenses. The Mongols must capture this place.

Paying heavy casualties, this is also

This was the reason why he chose to garrison here. Linde's confidence also came from the special geographical location of Guankou Village. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Next to the village is the Dujiangyan Irrigation Project built by Li Bing and his son, which not only tightly controls the plains of western Sichuan.

To the prestige

, the northern line of the Tea Horse Road in Maoliang Prefecture also strangles the water conservancy lifeline of millions of acres of fertile land in the Western Sichuan Plain. Its importance is self-evident. In Linde’s view, the position of a prefecture governor can be exchanged for such

In important areas, the Mongols did not suffer.

The envoy sent by Linde to negotiate with the Mongols had not yet left the stronghold, and the surrendering troops who did not follow common sense mutinied again. Seeing that the Mongols were trying to persuade them to surrender outside the city, but Linde was reluctant to respond, they really couldn't wait any longer.

On the one hand, they were afraid that the Mongols would invade and massacre the city, and on the other hand, they also needed Linde’s head.

As a certificate of surrender to the Mongols. To say that Linde relied on his 300 elite men to defend the stronghold, he was not afraid of the Mongolian centurion outside the stronghold, let alone the 700 mutinous soldiers. It was just that Linde was caught off guard and

Being attacked from both sides, he panicked and led his troops to flee. He was afraid of Yao Shian.

He and Pu Zezhi were convicted, and he saw the Perak Army's leaflet. Lin De was being hunted and had to flee towards Hengyuan Town. When he fled to Yongkang City, he counted the number of people and found that there were still 200 people following him. Lin De

Germany originally wanted to defend Yongkang City, but the city had already been completely moved by the Perak Army, and the city defenses were

Shi was dilapidated and deserted, and it was impossible to hold on without food. The soldiers under his command were afraid of the Mongols' pursuit, and clamored to go to Jiguan Mountain. Lin De had no choice but to follow the others to Hengguan Mountain.
