Chapter 607: A City's Empire

When the Mongolian army stopped charging at the col and retreated, Mo Qiong could no longer maintain such high efficiency.

Zhang Hongfan's central army moved again, and morale was frustrated again and again.

But he finally learned his lesson and thought of threatening the three generals with the emperor of the Song family.

He ordered the heavy cavalry to stop fighting with Gou Ye and go straight to where Zhang Shijie and Jiang Cheng were.

Now Gou Ye, Mo Qiong and others had no choice but to see the Mongolian heavy cavalry smash the square formation of the rebel army with a crushing momentum.

When the two armies really fought hand-to-hand and the battle line stretched for thousands of meters, Mo Qiong and Gou Ye's personal bravery seemed particularly insignificant.

Fortunately, Zhang Shijie was a famous general of his generation, commanding with confidence, and Che Yun shot several Mongolian generals in the formation, so that they could barely withstand the attack of the Mongolian army.

In the end, the situation became that the commander of one army was chased and hid everywhere on the battlefield, and the commander of another army was surrounded, like a lone boat in the sea.

It was not until two hours later that Gou finally captured Zhang Hongfan alive.

Li Heng had already separated from Zhang Hongfan and hid separately. When he saw Zhang Hongfan's flag fall, he recalled the horror of being captured alive. He immediately called back the troops and led the army to retreat. He ignored Zhang Hongfan, the commander, and ran away alone.

Leaving behind a tragic battlefield, Zhang Shijie gathered the remaining soldiers and only gathered more than 2,000 people, while the Mongolian army left only more than 1,000 corpses.

The battle loss ratio was one to eight.

This was still the case with the three gods. The Song army actually didn't kill many Mongolian soldiers. If Zhang Hongfan hadn't been captured alive, Li Heng would have been scared out of his wits. The Song army would have had only one ending, and the whole army would have been annihilated.

The almost untrained militiamen faced the most elite cavalry in the world. This was a completely obvious result.

This was also the reason why Mo Qiong didn't want Zhang Shijie to collect so many people at the beginning. It was useless and sent them to die in vain. But this was the path they had to choose. Mo Qiong and his men had no choice, let alone using supernatural powers to protect them.

Because this is a war, the response of the Blue and White Society members to being involved in the war is that they are like this, and their combat effectiveness does not exceed the maximum strength that can be accepted by the disguised identity.

In the relatively peaceful 21st century, the Blue and White Society often encounters similar situations, such as Africa, where rebels are everywhere. Even if they do business, they have to bring a group of security forces.

When they have to pass through the rebels' sphere of influence, the Blue and White Society's escort troops are often attacked. It's not because they want to rob the shelter, they don't even know what the Blue and White Society is, they just want to fight. Or it may be aimed at a peripheral person in the team, such as a big businessman or a media mouthpiece.

It is normal to eliminate important figures in the enemy country in the war. Sometimes it has nothing to do with what this person has done. Maybe they just saw a peripheral person on TV, so they recognized him when the escort troops passed by: Hey, isn't this Tanzanian so-and-so? He must die. He is one of the economic pillars of Tanzania.

So they ambush, assassinate, poison, or simply encircle and suppress with a large army.

In this regard, the Blue and White Society annihilates the opponent in the disguised identity. For example, if the escort troops are wearing the uniforms of the United Nations Army, then they will directly use the weapons of the United Nations to destroy the other party. Because it is not a battle in the containment world, they cannot call for space-based weapons, nor can they use containment objects.

As long as the United Nations Army cannot use weapons, they cannot use them. The combat skills and physical fitness of the members will not be suppressed, otherwise they will definitely lose every time.

This is called "weapon parity" combat. It is impossible not to fight back. Otherwise, if they see that they are involved in the war, they will run away. Then they simply don't have armed escorts and don't go anywhere.

The rebels can only admit bad luck when they are defeated, and they only know that they are defeated by the United Nations Army. Similarly, if the escort troops are defeated, they will also admit bad luck, because they are regarded as a United Nations Army being wiped out by the rebels, not the Blue and White Society being attacked.

At this moment, Mo Qiong and his men are the generals of the Southern Song Dynasty. Although they are particularly magical, they are still in the category of bravery after all.

Even if they are a little too much, there is no way. The background is different. The Yuan Dynasty is not comparable to the African rebels. In the whole world, except for the Southern Song regime, no country has established cooperation with them.

Before Adams gained anything, they were in a vast "non-agreement country" of more than 10 million square kilometers, protecting the only authoritative mouthpiece of the Blue and White Society.

There was no way, Mo Qiong couldn't just shoot Zhang Shijie from Yashan to Diaoyucheng, without any trace on the road, and the Yuan Dynasty would only be more horrified.

Fortunately, this battle was won, and the enemy's main general was captured alive. Although it was difficult, a group of rabble defeated the Mongolian army in a field battle, which was still an amazing victory.

"Behead him!" Zhang Shijie stared at Zhang Hongfan.

Gou Ye lay on the ground, breathing heavily like a bellows, and waving his hands frantically because of exhaustion.

Mo Qiong had the most physical strength, and he lifted Zhang Hongfan and said, "Leave him to us, you don't have to worry about it."

Zhang Hongfan was already very scared of Mo Qiong and his gang, and said in surprise, "What are you going to do!"

"Nothing, just help you recall the Yashan incident, and then let you go back." Mo Qiong said.

Zhang Hongfan was unconvinced. Knowing that he was going to die, he simply stiffened his neck and said, "Don't even think about me betraying the court. Even if you kill me or skin me alive, I will never work for you!"

Fifty minutes later, Zhang Hongfan was released with a thoughtful look on his face.

After thinking it over again and again, he decided to cooperate with the Mohists.

So, for the next ten days, Zhang Hongfan reorganized his troops and fought several battles with the Song army!

In each battle, the three gods were the last one to leave.

On the way to Diaoyu City, we passed several checkpoints where three divine generals and one man were guarding the checkpoints, fighting fiercely with Zhang Hongfan's troops.

It's just that the Mongolian army knew nothing about this, and there were a lot of people in Huandao Pass, all of them were Song soldiers. Because of these battles, Zhang Hongfan never fought again, but instead used the Mongolian army's shooting skills.

And every time after defeating the three divine generals, a large number of corpses shot to death by arrows would be left on the scene. Zhang Hongfan harvested more than 3,000 heads.

"Is this the Mo family's fake head? How come it's the same as the real one?" Zhang Hongfan looked at his 'capture', but he couldn't see any difference between it and the real corpse.

It turns out that after Blue and White Club developed Zhang Hongfan into a peripheral player, they could finally crack down on match-fixing.

When both sides of the battle were their own people, they finally no longer had to fight with equal weapons. They directly transferred a batch of bionic corpses and gave them to Zhang Hongfan for military merit.

Only in this way, when they reach Diaoyu City, they will no longer have to worry about "the enemy's country will be wiped out".

Sure enough, by the time Ah Shu caught up with Zhang Hongfan, the exiled court had safely entered Diaoyu City.

Ah Shu had already heard the news about Zhang Hongfan's defeat and capture, and said directly: "I heard that you have surrendered to the enemy?"

Zhang Hongfan quickly knelt down and said: "Commander! I am loyal to Dayuan!"

Ah Shu said angrily: "Why should they let you back!"

Zhang Hongfan said in shock: "Commander, this is a divorce plan by Song thieves! I have been in constant battles and small battles along the way, and I have beheaded more than ten thousand people. Please give me a warning, Commander-in-Chief."

Ah Shu sneered and asked again: "What's going on with the demon sword?"

Zhang Hongfan said: "Commander, everything in the battle report about the defeat at Yashan is true. All 20,000 troops saw it..."

"Well... then why along the way, the Song Army spread everywhere that it was Tsunami who helped... where is the sword?" A Shu asked strangely. When he came here, he had already confirmed the authenticity of the divine sword, which could be seen clearly by tens of thousands of people. Clearly.

Regarding the Divine Sword, Mo Qiong and the others did not ask Zhang Hongfan to clean it, because even if he lied, the Mongolian soldiers would truthfully tell Ah Shu the situation and they could not hide it.

The rhetoric of tsunami can only be promoted by Song Dynasty, and both sides insist on their own opinions. In addition, unless the Mongolian army is willing to admit the destiny of the Song army, it is likely that they will not publicly acknowledge the divine sword, and will only be obsessed with it within the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty.

"Hmph... You are undeniably responsible for the defeat at Yashan. Come and depose Zhang Hongfan from his position as marshal of the military capital, and transport him to Dadu to be dealt with by the Great Khan." With one sentence, A Shu killed Zhang Hongfan.

However, Zhang Hongfan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he survived.

If it weren't for the hard work of more than 10,000 heads, his life would not have been saved.

…

Arriving at Diaoyu City, the soldiers and civilians in the city rejoiced.

They defended the city for thirty-six years. The whole world fell, but they were the only ones who still held on.

The court never gave them any help. They relied purely on themselves and persisted until today.

Now the 'imperial court' is actually here, the officials are actually here, and the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city has been greatly boosted.

Even though there was Ashu's 40,000 troops not far outside the city, they were not afraid at all: "What the hell, the Great Khan Meng Ge's rash army of 400,000 failed to capture the Diaoyu City. Today, you, Ashu, can only Can watch.

This is indeed the case. A Shu camped at the mountain pass outside Diaoyu City and had no desire to attack at all...

Look at the city with fear. In this era, Diaoyu City is the most fortified city in the world, no one else.

The surrounding terrain is rugged, and the city is located on a mountain. There are too few angles from which the Mongolian army can attack.

Ah Shu didn't even bother to make a tentative attack and simply stayed outside, waiting for instructions from most parties.

On the other hand, Mo Qiong and the others can finally establish public opinion here.

The imperial court in Diaoyu City was like a needle piercing the territory of Dayuan. Don't underestimate the emperor's identity. He announced the affairs of the world here and occupied almost half of the public opinion.

Following the emergency, Zhang Shijie and some literati in the city quickly formed a new court.

Some officials with bigger farts were instantly promoted to the rank of important ministers in the central government.

Jiang Cheng honestly followed the requirements of the Blue and White Society and planned to officially ascend the throne and announce it to the world.

All the people of the Song Dynasty will believe what the imperial court says.

But before that, Jiang Cheng was almost bored to death by this group of hypocritical literati. Even if he simplified things, it was still very troublesome. Just changing the Yuan Dynasty would take a long time.

"No need to go to so much trouble. We are weak. We can just sit back and watch the changes in the world while we are trapped in Diaoyu City." Jiang Cheng is very self-aware and knows that Mo Qiong and the others will not help restore the country, so after arriving in Diaoyu City, he honestly acts as a nail in the coffin. Just stick it to the Great Yuan territory.

The so-called sit back and watch the changes in the world means that they will have some hope after eighty years, when war breaks out all over the Yuan Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, a scholar heard this and immediately said: "How can an official be like this...sigh..."

"In that case, let's take the 20th hexagram of the Book of Changes, which says: The great view is above, follow the sun, and be in the middle to view the world!"

“Let’s just say the year is ‘Zhongzheng’!”

After hearing this, Mo Qiong and Gou Ye, who were eating at a banquet nearby, suddenly spit out a mouthful of wine.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel ashamed. His special year was called "Zhongzheng".

"No, no, this is not good, change it!"

The literati looked at each other, and they also felt that this was not good and that it was too unambitious.

So a scholar said: "Sitting back and watching the changes in the world without thinking about progress is a failure of great trust! Officials should have great ambitions, use small plans to make big things, and restore our mountains and rivers!"

"That's right!" Another person said: "This is the eleventh hexagram of the Book of Changes. Tuan said: Tai, small goes and big comes, auspicious and prosperous. It means that heaven and earth are connected, and all things are connected!"

The literati nodded and said: "Yes, let's call it 'Wanda'!"

"..." Mo Qiong and others shook their heads and ate. No matter what emperor he is, even if Jiang Cheng is the emperor, he is still a D-level personnel.

Jiang Cheng was full of black lines and shook his head and said: "What Wanda! No, no, change it again!"

The literati were a little embarrassed. They just said it was up to them. Why are they so picky again? How good is the word Wanda? It means to be connected to all directions. One day, we will restore the mountains and rivers.

But the government said to change, so let's change it.

"How about the second hexagram, Kun: Yuan, Heng, and the chastity of a female horse. A gentleman has a destination, and will be lost before he finds the master. It is good to make friends in the southwest and lose friends in the northeast. It is auspicious to be at peace."

"This is good! This is good. Isn't the southwest our place in Shuzhong? And the capital of the Yuan Dynasty is in the northeast... This hexagram is very auspicious!"

So immediately a scholar said: "Tuan said: Kun Yuan is great, all things are born, and it is in accordance with the will of heaven. Kun is thick and carries things, and its virtue is boundless. Contain Hongguang!"

Jiang Cheng was dizzy and didn't know what he was saying.

He said: "So what? What is the reign title?"

The scholar said: "Hongguang!"

"..."Mo Qiong shook his head and lowered his head to eat.

This is indeed a good reign title, and someone used it hundreds of years later. It was the Hongguang Emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty after Chongzhen hanged himself.

He was killed by the Qing army after less than a year in office. Originally, the Southern Ming Dynasty had the opportunity to divide the river and rule with the Qing Dynasty, but the Hongguang Emperor played a good hand badly.

Jiang Cheng didn't know about this. Although he felt that the reign title of Hongguang was very familiar, he couldn't remember it.

It felt okay, much better than Zhongzheng. He was afraid that if he changed it again, this group of literati would give him a Runzhi, so Jiang Cheng quickly agreed.

Mo Qiong and others didn't care about this, so what if it was unlucky? After a while, when some of their frameworks were built, and a few more Zhao orphans were found... Jiang Cheng could do the work of a D-level personnel normally.

He may not be able to reign longer than Emperor Hongguang...

...

P.S.: Sorry. I came back too late from Qingming today, and there is only one update of 4,000 words. In addition, regarding the choice of the protagonist, I said before that it was not the best way. I also thought of a more perfect way, but it was very long-winded. So I said before that it was not written like that in a novel. But it's too much to say that a cult is a cult. War means death. On the battlefield, it's a life-and-death struggle. There is no such thing as massacre. If you want to massacre, isn't it better to use a gun?
