Brief Introduction to the Battle of Fishing City: The Peak Confrontation in China's Ancient Cold Weapon Age

Brief introduction to the battle of fishing town: a famous battle in the Song and Mongolian War. In the fourth year of Jiaxi in Song Lizong, Peng Daya sent Gan Runyu to build a village on the fishing hill in the east of Hezhou in order to fight against Mongolia. In the third year of Chun, Yu Jie, the governor of Sichuan, ordered Ran Jin and Ran Pu to preside over the construction of fishing city, and moved to the state capital, where he was heavily stationed to control Jialing River. In the second year of Baoyou, Wang Jian was appointed as the governor of Hezhou, and the city was heavily guarded. People from southern Shaanxi and northern Sichuan moved here one after another, and Fishing City became the military center of dozens of divisions of Yin and Yang. In six years, Mongolian Khan led the main force into Sichuan and captured many places, but the fishing city stood tall and became a strong fortress against the Mongols. In February of the Qing Dynasty, Mongo entered Lion Mountain and personally supervised the siege. From February to May, Ziyi City was captured, and the outer city gates of Zhenxi, Dongxin, Qisheng and Guobao were repelled. In June, Song reached an agreement with Sichuan, knowing that the Chongqing government led thousands of warships to come to help, and was defeated and returned to Chongqing. The Mongols stepped up their siege, but they were still unable to break it. Its pioneer, General Wang Dechen, was injured and died. Then on July 2 1 day, Mongo was wounded and died in the army, and the Mongols were forced to retreat. After Meng Ge's death, Mongolian aristocrats clashed over the succession of Khan's position. Kublai Khan, who was far away from the front line in Hubei Province, hastily withdrew north for the position of Khan. Fishing City defeated Mongolia to turn the tide. Since then, Ma Qian has succeeded Wang Jian as the secretariat of Hezhou. In the fourth year of Ding Jing, Zhang Jue replaced Ma Qian again. Zhang Jue defended Hezhou and repeatedly defeated the Yuan Army. In the first year of Deyou, Wang Li succeeded Zhang Jue as a diviner in Hezhou. In the first month of the second year of Xiangxing, Wang Li reduced the yuan, and the fishing city that had been trapped in the city for more than 30 years finally fell. From the 6th year of the Southern Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty 1 year, when Mongolia attacked the Song Dynasty, the general Wang Jian and the captain Zhang Jue of the Song Dynasty guarded the Fishing Town, which was a famous fortress defense against Mongolia. In July of Bao _ 6, there were 40,000 Mongolian Khan soldiers with a population of 100,000. They split up from Liupanshan and attacked Sichuan in three ways. In February, 65438, he captured most counties in western Sichuan and northern Sichuan, reached Vu Thang Mountain, and prepared to attack Hezhou. Yu Jie, the leader of Song Dynasty, moved Hezhou to Fishing City. Fishing City is located at the top of Fishing Mountain, 5 kilometers east of Hechuan District, Chongqing. Its mountains are steep, with a relative height of about 300 meters. It is located at the confluence of Jialing River, Qujiang River and Fujiang River, surrounded by water in the south, north and west, with a barrier hanging on the river. Around the city 12, build a stone wall several feet high, and build a straight wall extending into the river in the north and south. There are large and small reservoirs 13 and 92 wells in the city, which can be described as sufficient food and grass. The naval wharf is built along the river, with warships on it, controllable Sanjiang under it and Chongqing under it. It is a defensive fortress that supports the war situation in Sichuan, and the terrain is very dangerous. Brother Meng sent Jin to the fishing city to surrender and was killed by Wang Jian. 1in the first month of 999, Mongo Khan relied on his troops to strengthen Ma Zhuang, but quickly avoided the fortified city and bypassed the construction strategy of Kuizhou and Wandong. Regardless of the unfavorable conditions such as weather and geographical location, he was determined to capture the fishing city. So, I sent the first king to attack the Ili mountain city, dragged the tu to attack Pingliang mountain city, and ordered Yang Dayuan, the leader of the Song State, to lead an army to raid the old city of Hezhou and cut off the connection between the peripheral cities and the fishing city. At the same time, the new marshal

Late the next night, he broke through from the strange gate in the north of the city to the word city on the Jialing River, but was recaptured by Wang Jian's warriors. After hearing the news, Song Lizong issued a letter of commendation to encourage Hezhou soldiers and civilians. The fishing city could not be captured for a long time, so Meng Gehan ordered the generals to discuss the enterprising plan. In terms of running speed, torchlight 2 and Enemy at the Gates are considered to be unfavorable. It is better to leave a small number of troops to be troubled by it, but to join hands with Kublai Khan and other troops along the Yangtze River to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. However, the arrogant generals advocated storming the city, but regarded the quick decision as pedantic. Brother Han didn't take the suggestion of speed and decided to continue to attack the city. After the Mongolian army attacked Sichuan on a large scale, the Southern Song Dynasty took a large-scale rescue operation in Sichuan, but Song Jun, who reinforced the fishing city, was blocked by the Mongolian army and could not reach the gate of the fishing city. Despite this, the fishing city, which has been besieged for several months, is still well supplied and the morale of the defenders is high. On 1 day, the defenders of the Southern Song Dynasty threw two fresh fish weighing 15 kg and more than 100 steamed buns at the Mongolian army outside the city, and wrote to the Mongolian army that even if they persisted in 10, the Mongolian army could not attack the fishing city. By contrast, the situation outside Meng Jun is very bad. Mongols have long lived in a fortified city. It was a hot summer. Mongolians are afraid of heat and humidity, but they are not acclimatized, which leads to the prevalence of fever, malaria, cholera and other diseases in the army. The situation is quite grim. At the beginning of June, Lv Wende, Sichuan's deputy envoy, led a 1000 warship against the current, broke through the blockade of the Mongolian army and entered Chongqing. After that, he led more than a thousand ships north along Jialing River, rescued Hezhou, arrived in Sanchao Shanxi, and was stopped by Mongolian army. After a little strategy, the soldiers divided into two wings, crossed the river with guns, led the sailors down the river, captured more than 0/00 warships of the Song Dynasty, repelled their reinforcements, and took advantage of the situation to recover Chongqing. When the weather is hot, the plague is prevalent and the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army is greatly reduced. Wang Jian took the opportunity to attack the Mongolian military camp many times at night, scaring everyone awake at night. On the morning of 5th, Mongolian striker Marshal Wang Dechen led his troops to break through the Mazhai Army in the outer city by night, and Wang Jianling refused to fight. Before dawn, it began to rain, and the Mongolian siege ladder was broken and forced to retreat. After being besieged for five months, Wang Dechen rode alone to Fishing City to surrender, was hit by a flying stone on the city, and soon died in the temple in Jinyun Mountain. Brother Khan was furious and ordered the army to build a tower outside Dongxin Gate to spy on the actual situation in the city and fight a decisive battle. On July 2 1 day, Meng personally commanded the scene and Zhong was injured. On the 27th, he died in the army. The Mongols withdrew from the siege and returned to the north.
