Chapter 196: Bombardment of Xiangyang
Chapter 196 Bombardment of Xiangyang
"Boom, boom!"
Outside Xiangyang City, in the Mongolian army, more than a dozen artillery pieces are facing the city wall of Xiangyang City and constantly bombarding indiscriminately, the hard city wall of Xiangyang City is also in the powerful artillery, constantly being blown out of huge pits, sand and stones are splashed, in the Mongolian soldiers continue to bombard the city wall of Xiangyang City, it will not be long before Xiangyang City will be broken, without the blocking of this city wall, the Mongolian army will be able to drive straight into Xiangyang City, so that Xiangyang will be lost.
Because for a long time, Guo Jing was able to stubbornly garrison Xiangyang with tens of thousands of troops, and did not let the Mongolian army step into Xiangyang half a step, the main reason is that Xiangyang City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as well as the hard city wall, if the city wall is blown up by the artillery of the Mongolian army, the Mongolian army drove straight into Xiangyang City, and the tens of thousands of soldiers in Xiangyang without the protection of the city wall will not be able to compete with the Mongolian army of 200,000 at all, and Xiangyang will be bloodied at that time.
"Boom, boom!"
The Mongolian army has been firm in its determination to take Xiangyang Chen this time, and even the artillery dispatched, one by one huge artillery continued to bombard the city wall of Xiangyang City, and even the soldiers standing on the wall of Xiangyang City felt that the city wall was constantly shaking with the attack of artillery, as if an earthquake, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, and some artillery flew directly into the residential area of Xiangyang City, and then instantly blew up the houses, killing and injuring countless people for no reason.
"Stomp Tread Stomp ......"
Guo Jing, Huang Laoxi, Hong Qigong, Yeluqi, and the immortal envoy walked on the city wall together, watching the artillery in the distance continue to fire cannonballs to the city wall of Xiangyang City, everyone frowned, they all knew very well that the Mongolian army even the artillery was coming, so they already had the determination to capture Xiangyang City, Xiangyang City under the bombardment of so many dozen artillery pieces, it would not take long for it to be blown up, and then the Mongolian army rushed in, that was a bloody massacre.
"Archers prepare! Shoot me the Mongol soldiers who are holding the artillery at the fort! Guo Jing frowned and waved his big hand and said, the most threatening thing to Xiangyang City now is the bombardment of more than a dozen artillery pieces, Guo Jing must stop the continued bombardment of artillery, otherwise Xiangyang will be lost!
After the soldiers on the city wall heard Guo Jing's order, they all pulled their bows and arrows into the shape of a full moon, and all of them brushed at the fort where more than a dozen artillery pieces were placed in the distance.
In the distance, at the fort of the Mongol army, more than a dozen artillery pieces are still flying out powerful cannonballs, and on the turret sits a gorgeously dressed man, this big man is the Great Khan of Mongolia, that is, the ruler of Mongolia and the king of Mongolia.
"Give me the vanguard!" The Great Khan of the Mongol kingdom, seeing that all the archers in Xiangyang City were aiming at the fort where a dozen cannons were placed, and wanted to shoot the soldiers who were using the cannons on the fort, immediately began to send his soldiers as well.
"Woo woo woo ......"
A soldier raised his horn and blew it, and then the Mongol vanguard of 70,000 men began to attack Xiangyang City with shields, spears, broadswords, bows and arrows, and some of them carried long ladders and ropes for the siege.
When Guo Jing saw that the vanguard of the Mongolian army was also dispatched, he immediately shouted: "Give me arrows!" ”
"Woo Woo Woo ......"
Dense arrows like a shower of arrows were fired at the fort where more than a dozen artillery pieces were placed, but unfortunately the fort was too far away from the wall of Xiangyang City, and the shells of the artillery could hit the wall of Xiangyang City, but the bows and arrows of the archers on Xiangyang City did not have such a long range at all, and they all fell down with all their strength when they did not hit the fort.
"Damn it!" Guo Jingqi's punch punched a hole in the city wall, and the distance of the fort was too far for the bow and arrow to reach at all, but if the fort was not broken, then Xiangyang would definitely be lost.
"Boom, boom!"
"Ahh
Just when Guo Jing was angry, the artillery in the distance actually turned the cannon head and gave up bombing the city wall, but aimed the cannon at the soldiers on the city wall, and then more than a dozen artillery pieces fired in unison, which immediately caused huge damage to the soldiers on the city wall, and some shells fell directly into Xiangyang City, and exploded in the residential areas of Xiangyang City.
"If Guo Daxia continues to be passive like this, we will definitely lose Xiangyang City!" The immortal envoy immediately said nervously to Guo Jing, now they can only defend passively, and in the end, they will definitely end up losing Xiangyang.
"That's right, Jing'er! The power of these dozen artillery pieces is too great, and we must destroy more than a dozen artillery pieces so that Xiangyang City can have a glimmer of life. Huang Laoxie frowned as he looked at the artillery that kept firing cannonballs in the distance.
"That's right! Huang Lao is right, we must destroy more than a dozen cannons, otherwise Xiangyang will be lost, and now the bow and arrow can't shoot that far at all, so we can only open the city gate, and then send people down to destroy more than a dozen cannons. Hong Qigong also said to Guo Jing with the same seriousness, this method is the only way to solve the current embarrassing situation.
"But the Mongolian army below has sent tens of thousands of vanguards, if you want to get close to the fort, you must pass through a large number of vanguards, the vanguard of the Mongolian army of tens of thousands is already equivalent to the number of defenders of my Xiangyang City, my soldiers can't pass through these tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers at all, let alone get close to the fort!" Guo Jing said in embarrassment that it can be said that it is difficult to break through the Mongolian vanguard of tens of thousands of people.
"Hehe, Jing'er, you don't have to worry, our group of martial arts people have also been eating and drinking for nothing in Xiangyang City for so long, it should come in handy!" Hong Qigong said with a smile, the person he said was naturally the group of martial arts people invited by Guo Jing to fight against the Mongolian army during the martial arts conference at that time.
"That's right! Guo Daxia, don't worry, the matter of destroying the fort will be left to us! ”
"Yes, yes, yes! We are also a member of Da Song, it's time to do something for Da Song! ”
"It's just right now, my forehand is itching, and I want to kill a few Mongolian Tartars!"
"Then let's go down and have fun together?"
“……”
As soon as Hong Qigong said this, the other martial arts people all responded, and they were all eager to try.
"There are tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers below, and there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Mongolian army who have not been dispatched, so it will be more than auspicious for you to go down!" Guo Jing said with some concern, although each of these martial arts people can top a few, but their number is only a few thousand, and in the face of tens of thousands of Mongolian vanguards, it is still a little insufficient.
"Guo Daxia, you are underestimating, I'm waiting!"
"That's right! We are not greedy for life and afraid of death! ”
"Even if you don't go down at this time, when the 200,000 soldiers of the Mongolian army enter the city, it will be difficult to escape death, so it's better to go down and kill it!"
“……”
Seeing this group of chivalrous people who were still talking and laughing in the face of death, Guo Jing's eyes immediately turned red, and then he knelt down on one knee and said: "Guo Jing is here to thank everyone for the people of Xiangyang!" ”
Once this group of chivalrous men goes down, it is difficult to say whether they can break through the Mongolian vanguard of tens of thousands of people, let alone destroy the fort, maybe thousands of people will leave the city, and there may not even be a single person who comes to the fort.
"Jing'er, you don't need to say these words, as a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, if you can do your part for the Great Song Dynasty, you can be regarded as having no regrets in this life, and I have lived for so many years, and I am tired, open the city gate!" Hong Qigong said with a sigh that when they went out this time, they all had the determination to die.
With tears in his eyes, Guo Jing spit out three words with difficulty: "Open the city gate!" ”
After Huang Laoxie saw the open city gate, he smiled and walked over to Guo Jing, who had tears in his eyes, and said a little freely: "Jing'er is actually Rong'er following you, I am very relieved, you have to take care of her more in the future!" ”
Although Huang Laoxie is also the best in martial arts, he has no confidence that he will be able to come back alive this time.
"Father-in-law!" The tears in Guo Jing's eyes couldn't help but stay after hearing what Huang Lao said about it.
"What is the boy crying and crying! Don't let me underestimate you. Huang Laoxie said freely, and then turned around and followed this group of chivalrous people out of the city gate.
After seeing all the chivalrous people walking out of the city gate, Guo Jing choked up and said, "Close the city gate!" ”
Guo Jing also wanted to follow them to destroy the fort, but Guo Jing, as the general of Xiangyang City, must focus on the overall situation, and he must stay in Xiangyang City to command the soldiers of Xiangyang City.
Outside the gate of Xiangyang City.
"We are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and now it's time to do something for the Great Song Dynasty!" Hong Qigong looked at the Mongolian vanguard of tens of thousands of people who were approaching the city wall of Xiangyang not far away, and said bloody.
"Kill these bitches!"
"Yes, destroy this group of [***] sons!"
"Rush! We must destroy the battery! ”
This group of martial arts people immediately grabbed the weapons in their hands, and under the leadership of Huang Laoxi, Hong Qigong, Immortal Envoy, and Yeluqi, they drew towards the Mongolian vanguard of tens of thousands of people.
"Boom, boom!"
At the same time, more than a dozen cannons on the turret of the Mongolian army all turned their heads and aimed at this group of chivalrous people, and then before this group of chivalrous people met the Mongolian vanguard, they directly encountered powerful artillery, and one by one cannonballs like meteorites flew down towards their thousands of martial arts people.
Among them, there was a cannonball flying directly towards Huang Laoxi, facing the artillery, even a master like Huang Laoxi, he couldn't stop it, looking at the whistling cannonball, Huang Laoxie closed his eyes in despair, he didn't expect that he was going to die under this cannonball before he could make a move, and the past came to his mind piece by piece.
"Daddy!"
I don't know if it's a hallucination or a real hearing of Huang Rong's scream.
"Instant Finger Piercing!"
"Boom!" (To be continued.) )
