龙名在山谷内过了几天逍遥日子,外面的忽必烈却因为他的煽动,几次强烈建议他的汗兄蒙哥,提前开始了南征,大军兵分三路,准备一举消灭南宋。龙名也不得已被召回,率军出征。
                                                                                                                                                                蒙哥率领西路军,绕道四川,直取大理,攻到敌人后方。龙名率领中路军,忽必烈率领东路军,和敌人正面对敌。
                                                                                                                                                                起初,蒙哥的军队遇到了巨大的困难。他的进军路线是最艰辛的,要么道路尚未开辟,要么人迹罕至。
                                                                                                                                                                尤其是西南地区的酷热令人窒息,山峦起伏的地带易守难攻。天然环境对防御者十分有利,他们利用熟悉地形的有利条件,成功阻止了蒙哥的进军步伐。
                                                                                                                                                                骑兵作为蒙古人的主要力量在这次远征中作用不大。相反,包围据点,围攻城镇成了这次军事行动的主要内容。
                                                                                                                                                                虽然蒙古人已经相当熟悉围城战,但是这种军事战术毕竟不是他们的长项。而且,防御者比预料的更难缠。
                                                                                                                                                                三个月后,蒙哥的军队已经攻陷了四川重镇成都。他们的下一个目标是重庆周边地区, 那里主要的障碍是合州。
                                                                                                                                                                南宋将领王坚决心保卫这个城镇,击退蒙古侵略者。他没有被来势汹汹的进攻所吓倒,宁死不投降。
                                                                                                                                                                结果,蒙哥的军队推进缓慢。而龙名那边非常顺利,一路势如破竹,一连攻下数城,蒙哥为了抓紧时间,一鼓作气将南宋攻下,他力排众议,忽视了了疾病和酷热的威胁,表示要坚决推进他的计划,不惜一切代价占领合州。
