Chapter 376: A Counterattack

Seeing that Guo Shoujing's envoy to Song Ying was cut off in a blink of an eye, who would dare to be this envoy again, Kublai Khan was in a state of confusion at this time, and he couldn't think of any good ideas to solve the dilemma in front of him.

Just when Kublai Khan's buttocks were smoking and he convened officials to discuss matters and couldn't think of a better way, the Song army's intense attack suddenly stopped, and the bows and arrows on the earth city no longer fired, and the pressure on the Yuan army defending the city was gone, and it suddenly became much easier.

However, Song Jun's next move made them even more nervous, and at a position that could not be reached by a few hundred steps of crossbow arrows from the city wall, Song Jun began to measure and draw a fixed point, seemingly looking for some direction. After the determination is completed, the carriage pulls the earth and stones, and builds the high platform at the same time at dozens or hundreds of places, and with the acceleration of the progress of the project, the high platform is formed two days later.

The Song army, which had never used artillery to attack the city, built hundreds of high platforms outside the city to erect cannons, and the meaning was self-evident that the Yuan army also knew that it must be preparing for the artillery attack on the city, but why did they go earlier? If the cannon had been used from the beginning, it is estimated that this guard battle would have ended long ago, and the damned ones would have already died, so why should everyone be tortured so much every day.

The strange behavior of the Song army is incomprehensible, but waiting for the completion of the high platform, the Song army's artillery was moved to the top, and the soldiers of the firearms battalion adjusted and aimed on the top every day, and the defenders on the opposite wall were terrified all day long.

The purpose of building the high platform is to allow the artillery commander to aim more intuitively, and under the premise that Zhao Tianyou ensures that the capital is not damaged, the maximum power of the artillery can be exerted, and the primary precision strike mode is launched.

Every main street of the Yuan capital, every barracks, every warehouse where the ordnance was stored, was unknowingly quietly targeted by the artillery on the high platform outside the city, not to mention the defenders of the city under the muzzle.

On the permission to attack the city with artillery, Zhao Tianyou was persuaded by everyone to make some concessions, some unimportant buildings can be abandoned, but the idea of keeping most of the important buildings in the capital has not changed.

Guo Shoujing carefully determined the location of these forts, but in order to curry favor with Zhao Tianyou, the location was selected with great precision, aiming in a predetermined direction, even if the shells occasionally deviated from the wrong direction, they would not damage the key buildings marked by Zhao Tianyou.

On the nineteenth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, the spring breeze in the north has blown out a piece of green, and the green grass is growing all over the mountains, and the Song army outside the capital of the Yuan Dynasty has been ready to attack the city, so they are waiting for Zhao Tianyou to give an order and start to launch the final general attack.

Kublai Khan sat on the top of the tall treasure hall, and there were more than 100 civil and military generals sitting around the hall, all of them were nervous and restless, and the formation of the Song army outside the city was clear, and the people in the capital of Yuan were panicking, and they were all thinking about where their life was.

"Qi Great Khan, the old minister is willing to send an envoy to the Song camp for the Great Khan, and is willing to risk death to negotiate a truce to solve the immediate crisis in the capital."

The person who spoke was a Mongolian elder, who had recently been seriously ill, and he felt that his time was running out, and he wanted to exert the last light and heat, but after he finished speaking, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty sneered, and even Kublai Khan, who was sitting on the top of the treasure hall, also pouted.

If you really want to send an envoy to the Song camp for me, why didn't you stand up seven days ago, and now that the Song army has begun to attack the city, are you bold? I heard that you were sick yesterday and coughed up blood, and today you came to ask for an envoy, and you are not afraid of dying halfway to the Song camp.

"Oh, old general, according to this situation, I'm afraid that if you can't go outside the city, the shells of the Song army will come in, that is, after you arrive at the Song camp, what are you going to say? What to talk about? Do you have a draft in mind, what conditions do you have to impress the Song army and let them stop attacking the city to negotiate peace? ”

How can this old general have a draft, he just wants to fight for this dying life and leave a good reputation, his head is empty, he just wants to die there in the Song camp, but he can't get mixed with Guo Shoujing's treatment, and he will always die on the kang head at home.

"That, that......"

Choked by Kublai Khan's few words, he couldn't say a few happy words when he opened his mouth, his heart was in a hurry, and his heart was in a hurry, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood as soon as he opened his mouth with a sweet throat, and then fell to the ground and died of gas.

"Hey, you ...... Oops, what a blockage! Carry me down, come quickly! ”

Hurriedly ran up a few gold-armored guards, and lifted the old man who fell to the ground, at this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were talking to each other, muttering something in a low voice, the buzzing sound was getting louder and louder, and there was still the majesty of the four seas when they came to the court.

The look on Kublai Khan's face became more and more displeased, just now this old general should be a joke and use his life to enliven the atmosphere in the court, but you don't have to go on endlessly, I have heard all the gossip.

"Silence, shut up!"

Kublai Khan slapped the table in front of him, and suddenly roared at the ministers in the hall, and suddenly fell silent, and more than 200 eyes widened, looking at the furious Kublai Khan.

Time seemed to stand still, Kublai Khan glared at a circle of dumbfounded ministers, and said in his heart, how did I choose the people, these are all special ministers, high-ranking officials are very happy, how can there be something wrong, there are not a few loyal ministers like Guo Shoujing.

"Knock knock, knock knock, knock ......"

A dull and powerful cannon sound sounded almost simultaneously around the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in the main hall could hear it clearly, all of them were dark and nervous, and their feet were pacing under the official robes, eager to escape from this golden hall now.

Kublai Khan's expression changed, his heart seemed to have broken something, and after the shattering of Kerala, a feeling of discomfort spread throughout his body, and a look of despair hung on his face.

"Everyone come with me, all the generals go to the city to face the Song army! I want to drive the expedition in person and swear to block the Song army outside the capital of Yuan! ”

After speaking, Kublai Khan shook his shoulders and shook his precious and gorgeous fur to the ground, revealing a golden armor that he had already worn.

Cang Chang pulled out his saber and strode down from the throne, and many gold price guards behind him surrounded him, and surrounded Kublai Khan out of the main hall to saddle and mount his horse. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to delay any longer, and each looked for horses and blades, and followed Kublai Khan towards the southern city.

In fact, they were not very willing to follow, but those golden-armored guards with swords only obeyed Kublai Khan's orders, and their eyes were staring at these officials widely.

Guo Shoujing held a few drawings in his hand, flipping back and forth on the left and right, and there were dozens of junior colonels in charge of heralding orders in front of the formation, who were running back and forth to shuttle through the forts everywhere, conveying the results of the battle and the enemy's situation everywhere.

"Lord Guo, thank you for your hard work, I hope you can be like what you said, there is no distinction between Meng and Han in your heart, and you are worried about the farmers and people in the world."
