Chapter 121: The Beginning of the Great War

Chen Hao had said before that in fact, the combat effectiveness of the Mongols was not high, which was just a strategic contempt for the enemy, but if you really thought that the Mongols were vulnerable, you would be a fool. If Mongolia really can't do it, how can it almost kill half the world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Standing in the Xiangyang City Tower, you can see the scene of thousands of horses galloping outside for several miles, the billowing smoke and dust cover the entire sky, and you can only see the large and small flags erected in the opponent's camp, in addition, you can only see a piece of black pressing, and even a figure can't be seen clearly.

Moreover, it was not the enemy's large army that caused such a huge momentum, but only a vanguard force, with a maximum of about 10,000 men and horses.

The reason why a small vanguard army can cause such a big movement is mainly related to the unique Mongolian marching system, the Mongol march, at least one person and three horses, if you are a little richer, it is possible for one person to carry seven or eight horses, so it is difficult for you to see the number of Mongol troops with the naked eye.

Chen Hao is not ready to join in this war in person, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, half of Guo Jing's skills alone is not enough to protect himself in a war of hundreds of thousands of people, Chen Hao has no intention of giving his life for a world that does not belong to him.

And Xiang Yu and Fang Tiejia are not very good at defending the city, so now the guards in the city are all commanded by Guo Jing, he has been guarding Xiangyang for more than ten years, and he has experience.

Under the command of Guo Jing, the people in the city methodically carried the rolling wood and stones up the city tower, and lit an oil pot under the city wall to boil the oil. The soldiers seized this last time to rest on the city walls, and after a while the battle began, they did not know when it would be over.

The Mongols are also resting, they have traveled long distances, come from afar, and if they attack rashly, they will be looking for death.

However, even when they were resting, they did not dismount, they just sat on the horses and ate naan cakes, with white water, staring dead in the direction of Xiangyang City, their eyes like wolves with greedy green light.

Xiang Yu stood on the city wall and looked at the group of Mongolians, and sneered: "This is the Mongolian?" Haha, I don't know how it compares to Liu Bang's Han army. ”

Fang Tiejia, who was standing beside him, excitedly threw his two teams of hammers in his hands: "Just with these uncivilized barbarians, they are also worthy of competing with the strong army of the Han Dynasty?" ”

Xiang Yu frowned slightly, exaggerating Han's army in front of him, wasn't he saying that he couldn't do it in disguise? But he just frowned, and he didn't have a seizure, because he knew that Liu Bang was indeed very strong, otherwise how could he lose?

Hari Bari hurriedly finished eating the bag in his hand, took out a piece of sheepskin and began to wipe the scimitar in his hand, he wanted to use the scimitar in his hand to open the gate of Xiangyang City in front of him, and use the blood of the Han people in it to sacrifice the knife.

Hari Ba Ri in Mongolian, represents the meaning of the black tiger, he did not insult this name, since childhood is brave and good at fighting, once with the Mongolian Han to fight in European countries, made a lot of military achievements, was favored by the Han, in this war was named the commander, and made a promise, as long as the things grabbed in this war, are his own.

Therefore, whether it is to repay the big man or for his own wealth, he has no reason to be afraid.

Just as he was polishing the scimitar in his hand, one of his commanders, the Imperial Horse, came to his side: "My lord, the valiant warriors are almost rested, and their current strength can kill a tiger, please give the order to attack." ”

The sheepskin in his hand was still on the ground: "Okay, I want to let those Song people know that only the eagle soaring in the sky is worthy of occupying the most fertile land, and the cowardly sheep can only be eaten by the belted bones." ”

The centurion excitedly raised the scimitar in his hand and shouted, "Everyone, prepare to attack. ”

"Yes"

The Mongol soldiers obeyed the order, turned over and dismounted, took up arms, and under the leadership of Hari Bari, they went from the east gate of Xiangyang City.

Naturally, you can't ride a horse in siege warfare, and the horse won't climb the wall, and if you can't rein in it, you can't hit the city wall?

Of course, it didn't matter if there were one or two horses, and Hari Bari rode his war horse, brandished a scimitar in his hand, and made a wolf-like 'whoop' sound in his mouth, and led the charge.

…………

On the city of Xiangyang, since the Mongols began to attack, there was no need for the generals to remind them, and the soldiers who were still resting took up arms on their own and performed their duties.

When the Mongols stepped into the range of the bow, more than a thousand archers in the city stretched out their bows and arrows.

There are many Mongols, and those archers don't need to aim, as long as they have enough strength to shoot anywhere.

The Mongols attacked Xiangyang many times, naturally they will not be without the means to deal with the rain of arrows, they like an umbrella on the top of the head to prop up a piece of boiled cowhide, the cowhide is tough, the bow and arrow can only make some 'poof' muffled sound, and then either hang on it, or fall to the ground weakly.

Moreover, the Mongols were also covered with thick fur and some iron plates on the outside, and even if a bow and arrow were shot through the gaps in the cowhide, they would not necessarily be able to penetrate their fur, and even if they could, they would have almost lost their strength and would not be enough to inflict fatal damage.

Four or five rounds of arrows rained down, only shooting less than a hundred unlucky ghosts, Guo Jing was not discouraged, personally took a bow and arrow, took the bow and aimed, as soon as he raised his hand, the bow and arrow flew out like thunder, in the Mongolian camp, a centurion fell in response, and the arrow pierced through the back of his head from his right eye.

"Good marksmanship." Xiang Yu boasted.

Guo Jing continued to take the bow and said: "It's just a small technique that can't be put on the table, where can it be compared to the overlord Shenyong." ”

The Mongols charged quickly, and with a short effort, they reached the city, and at the command of Haribari, some began to decorate the gates with punches, others began to climb up ladders, and others began to shoot arrows at the city with bows to provide cover for their comrades.

In the city, the prepared Xiang army (I don't know what to call this pair, let's call it Xiang Jun) erected a large shield to form a shield wall, blocking all the arrows from the shield wall.

Fang Tiejia saw that the ladders were set up on the city tower, and he began to be a little impatient, and asked Guo Jing: "Is it time to smash the rolling stones down?" In a little while they should come up. ”

Guo Jing put down the bow and arrow in his hand, stared down, raised a right hand, and said, "Wait." ”

When someone climbed to the point where he was only two positions away from the city wall, Guo Jing's hand waved down violently: "Smash"

Dozens of rolling stones fell, and the person at the top of the ladder was hit by the rolling stone, and the bones were broken on the spot, and then they fell, and then they fell down, and the people below fell down, and the people fell down like dumplings. (To be continued.) )
