Chapter 223: Guo Jing and Huang Rong
Guo Jing stared at the countless army of big men and black armor in front of the city, and couldn't help but fall into thought.
In terms of the urgent reports of the cities and counties of the Song Kingdom, the Han was a rebel army.
But Guo Jing has guarded Xiangyang for more than ten years, and even Mongolia in the north does not have such a military appearance.
"They are not rebels at all, but an army from another country. ”
"Hey, what an eventful time. After thinking about it, Guo Jing affirmed his thoughts, but in the end he was very helpless, even if he knew that it was not a traitor but the army of another country, he was helpless.
But relatively.
When Guo Jing and Xiangyang Shou were panicked when the soldiers of the Han army approached the city.
The people in Xiangyang City did not have the fear and worry they imagined.
Because the Han Dynasty treats the people of the Han family well and strictly controls the army, the news has spread almost throughout the entire Song Kingdom.
"The army of the Han Dynasty has already attacked, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the city will be broken. ”
"I heard a fellow villager in Dali say that the army of the Han Dynasty was a division of benevolence and righteousness, with strict military discipline, and after attacking the city, instead of killing the civilians, they gave the civilians food. ”
"Now that our Great Song Dynasty is corrupt, the emperor is mediocre, and the traitorous ministers are in charge, we ordinary people can't even eat enough, and we have to pay that kind of harsh taxes, maybe this time after the Han army breaks the city, it will be our good days..."
For Yan Huang, no matter what era it is, as long as there is gossip, it will inevitably spread quickly.
And the military discipline of the Great Han, as well as the rumors of the Great Hann to the civilians.
In this era, the king was mediocre, the traitorous ministers were in power, and the common people of the Song State were like the Han during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, unable to eat enough and not warm to wear.
Now that the Han Dynasty's new policy of governing the country is to forgive the world, how not to make the people of the Song Kingdom excited.
After all, the Han Dynasty is also a Han family, and it is not a Mongolian killing army, and there will be no slaughter of the city after entering the city.
Therefore, relatively speaking, under the rule of Zhao Yun of Song Lizong, the Han Dynasty has invisibly conquered the hearts of the people of the Song State.
The screen turns.
The big Han banner in front of Xiangyang City suddenly moved.
"Where are the Han soldiers?" Lu Bu, Zhao Yun raised the weapon in his hand and shouted angrily.
"The great Han Tianwei is invincible. ”
"Kill, kill, kill..."
200,000 Han soldiers raised their troops at the same time and shouted angrily.
The sound of killing permeated the entire Xiangyang, and the Song army on the city gate was disgraced.
"The king decrees that those who do not submit will be killed. ”
"All the soldiers obeyed the order and attacked the city. Zhao Yun and Lu Bu shouted at the same time.
"No. ”
200,000 soldiers responded in unison, and the army that had stood for a long time moved violently.
Rumble!
As the armor moved, the entire earth was shaken, and the light of Xiangyang City seemed to be shrouded in endless fierce military demons.
"They're going to attack the city. Guo Jing's expression tightened, and he immediately shouted.
"Immediately set up defenses, and those who escape from the battle will be killed. Lu Wenhuan was also extremely flustered, pulled out his sword, pointed at the Song soldiers in Chengguan and ordered.
"Yes. ”
The Song soldiers on the city pass held their weapons one after another, extremely nervous, and cold sweat almost broke out on their foreheads.
The momentum of the army in front of them was too strong, a hundred times more terrifying than the Mongol army they had encountered.
The 200,000 troops of the Han Dynasty advanced at the same time, and dozens of military formations were neat as one person, and the most advanced was not the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty, but the trebuchets and ballistas of the Han Dynasty.
Bombard Xiangyang City with ordnance, and then break it with a strong army, you can take this Xiangyang City.
There were 400 trebuchets and 300 ballistae, under the control of the foot soldiers, and quickly advanced in front of Xiangyang City.
When Guo Jing and Lu Wenhuan on the city gate saw the strange ordnance presented in front of them, they couldn't help but be stunned?
"What's that?" both of them wondered.
The trebuchet has been lost for hundreds of years, and the record has been crushed in the torrent of history.
"That's trebuchet. ”
Then.
A young female voice sounded, and the two immediately looked at each other.
A young woman who looked graceful and luxurious, walked slowly to the city gate, looked at her face, stunning and rare, when she was young, she was afraid that she had a peerless face comparable to that of the little dragon girl.
She is Guo Jing's wife, and she is also the brain trust of Xiangyang City, Huang Rong.
"Rong'er, why are you here?" Guo Jing said with concern.
"If I don't come, I'm afraid you'll be in danger. Huang Rong said helplessly, looking at the trebuchet advancing in front of the city: "The trebuchet is infinitely powerful, it is not at all that ordinary people can resist, and the enemy army in front of him is full of stones, and this city will inevitably become a purgatory." ”
"Then what should I do?" Guo Jing said.
"There is no way to fight such siege weapons, and now there is only one way, either surrender or evacuate. Huang Rong said solemnly.
"Impossible, Xiangyang is an important town in my Great Song Dynasty, which is the key to resisting Mongolia, and it must not be evacuated, and Kaecheng surrendered, which is inevitably too much, and my Great Song Dynasty territory can be handed over. Guo Jing said with a stubborn face.
"Guo Daxia is right, Xiangyang must not be lost, let alone surrendered. Lu Wenhuan also said immediately.
See here.
Huang Rong had a look of helplessness on her face, and walked to the back: "Brother Jing, come over for a while." ”
"Excuse me. Guo Jing arched his hand at Lu Wenhuan and walked slowly.
"Brother Jing, have you thought clearly, the army attacking in front of the city is not a traitor, but a real big country, and compared to the mediocrity of the Song State today, this Han State not only has strict military discipline, but also loves the people like sons, and countless cities in the Song Kingdom, including the people of Xiangyang City, are yearning. Huang Rong said solemnly.
"Rong'er, do you want to persuade me to surrender to the enemy army?" Guo Jing said.
"Yes, now if you want to protect my Guo family and the beggar disciples in the city, you have to surrender, otherwise the result will be ruined. Huang Rong said solemnly.
"I, Guo Jing, stand up to the sky, defend the country first, and want me to surrender to other countries, this matter is absolutely impossible. Unexpectedly, Guo Jing directly and stubbornly refused.
"Brother Jing, the hearts of the people of Song have been lost, even if you can block the army outside the city, you can't stop the hearts of the people who are committed to the Han Kingdom. Huang Rong said anxiously.
Now the situation in the city, and even in the entire Song Kingdom, Huang Rong understands.
Emperor Song was mediocre and incompetent, the people were prey, and the people's hearts had been lost, and the Han Dynasty appeared out of thin air, attacking the city, Yu Minqiu did not commit any crimes, and also showed grace to the people, which has become famous.
As early as when Guo Jing wanted to guard Xiangyang, Huang Rong clearly objected, but Guo Jing was too stubborn.
"Rong'er, you and I are husband and wife, this matter can never be said again, even if I Guo Jing die, I will not do anything to defect to the enemy and betray the country. Guo Jing said coldly to Huang Rong and shook his hand and left.
"Hey, how is this good? If only my father and master were here, maybe I would be able to persuade the stubborn Brother Jing. Huang Rong's face flashed with bitterness.
