Revealing the Battle of Song and Meng Hechuan Fishing City: 36 years of Anti-Japanese War!

In A.D. 1240 (the fourth year of Jiaxi), Peng Daya, the assistant envoy of Sichuan, sent Gan Run to build a village on the fishing hill east of Hezhou (now Hechuan, Chongqing) in order to fight against the Mongolian army.

At that time, Mongolia had never met an opponent in Eurasia. 1258, Mongol Khan ordered Kublai Khan to attack Ezhou, Chahar attacked Huaibei and Wulianghatai attacked Yunnan, and he led his troops into Sichuan. 1Feb. 259, Mongo Khan led 40,000 troops to capture the fishing city.

Fishing City is located at the top of Fishing Mountain, 5 kilometers east of Hechuan District, Chongqing, with a relative height of about 300 meters. Located at the intersection of Jialing River, Qujiang River and Fujiang River, it is surrounded by water on the south, north and west, and the barrier covers the river. Stone walls with a height of tens of feet are built around the city, and a wall is built in the north and south to extend to the river. There are 0/3 ponds/kloc-and 92 wells in the city, which can be described as sufficient drinking water. The Navy Wharf is built by the river, with warships, which can control the Sanjiang River from the top and shield Chongqing (now Chongqing) from the bottom. It is a defensive fortress that supports the war situation in Sichuan, and the terrain is very dangerous.

Mengge didn't take Fishing Town seriously, because Chengdu and Fuzhou in northwest Sichuan were under the control of Mongolia. He ordered minister Jin to go into the city to persuade him to surrender, and was killed by Wang Jian. When Mengge learned of this, he was so angry that he ordered Marshal Niu Lin to occupy the Yangtze River and build a pontoon bridge in Shilin, Fucheng County, in order to cut off the reinforcements in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. He also built forts in Jiajiang and Tongluo Gorge in the lower reaches of Chongqing, threatening and containing Song Jun in Chongqing, and sent Yang Dayuan, a rebel in the Southern Song Dynasty, to attack Hezhou, taking away more than 10,000 people (more than 80,000 people).

Battle of Fishing City

1259 (the year of Kai Qing Yuan) In February, Mongo entered Lion Mountain and personally supervised the siege. Successively captured the gates and outer cities of Ziyi, Zhenxi, Dongxin, Qisheng and Guoguo, and were all repelled.

In the Song Dynasty, Sichuan's deputy envoy led thousands of warships to help Chongqing, which was defeated by history and returned to Chongqing.

In addition, the Mongolian army has been stationed for a long time, which is in the hot summer season. Mongolians were originally afraid of summer heat and humidity, and their acclimatization led to the epidemic of diseases such as summer heat, malaria and cholera in the army, and the situation was quite serious.

Soon, Sichuan made Lv Wende lead 10,000 warships of the Song Dynasty, and went up the river, breaking through the blockade of the Mongolian army and entering Chongqing. Later, he led thousands of ships north along Jialing River to rescue Hezhou. However, when I went to Sanchao Shanxi, I was stopped by the Mongolian army. Shi Ba divided into two wings and shot across the river. He led the boat division to attack vertically downstream, captured more than 0/00 warships of the Song Dynasty, repelled the backup troops of the Southern Song Dynasty and returned to Chongqing.

When the weather was hot and the plague was prevalent, the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army was greatly reduced. Wang Jian took the opportunity to attack the Mongolian military camp many times at night, scaring everyone and keeping them awake at night. On the morning of the fifth day, Mongolian striker Marshal Wang Dechen led his troops to break through the outer city Ma Zhai Jun by night, and Wang Jian led his troops to refuse to fight.

However, the Mongols stepped up their siege. Unexpectedly, it began to rain at dawn, and the Mongolian army's siege ladder was broken and forced to retreat. Wang Dechen rode alone to Fishing City to surrender, was hit by a flying stone on the city, and soon died in Jinyun Mountain Temple. Monge Khan was furious and ordered the army to build platforms and buildings outside Dongxin Gate to spy on the actual situation in the city in order to fight a decisive battle.

In order to end the fighting as soon as possible, Meng personally commanded the scene, and Zhong was soon wounded and died in the army, and the Mongolian army was forced to retreat.

After Meng Ge's death, Mongolian aristocrats clashed on the issue of Khan's succession, and Kublai Khan, who was far away from the front line in Hubei, hastily retreated to the north to compete for Khan. Fishing City's victory over Mongolia turned the tide.

Since then, Ma Qian took over as the governor of Hezhou, Wang Jianwei, and Zhang Jue took over as Ma Qian in 1263 (the fourth year of Ding Jing). Zhang Jue defended Hezhou and repeatedly defeated the Yuan Army. Twelve years later, Wang Li succeeded Zhang Jue as the ambassador of Hezhou. /kloc-in the first month of 0/279 (in the second year of Xiangxing), Wang Li's fishing city, which had been stuck for 36 years, finally fell.
