Chapter 659: The Cloud Tiger Falls
"Of course you don't know until you've killed someone." Chen Jinghao smiled slightly, and looked at Song Jun not far away.
Chen Yuehua followed the half-brother's gaze and saw that the soldiers of the Song army were slaughtering the officers and soldiers of the Jiaozhi who fell on the battlefield and were wounded but not dead.
Chen Yuehua was angry for a while, she instinctively wanted to rush up and draw a knife to cut those Song soldiers, but the fractured calf made her unable to walk, she reached out to pick up the Qibao carving bow on her waist, but her brother Chen Jinghao held it down.
"If you want to live, don't act rashly." Chen Jinghao whispered in her ear.
Chen Yuehua almost couldn't believe that such words would come out of the mouth of his brother who was both loyal and brave in both civil and military affairs. She was about to protest when she saw a group of Song soldiers walking towards her.
"Sure enough, it was packed in a big wooden box." Chen Jinghao sighed and said to himself, "I can't come so fast......"
"What wooden box?" Chen Yuehua was stunned.
"The Song army used a 'box-packed cannon' to be able to move quickly with the army." Chen Jinghao said in a low voice, his eyes still not leaving the Song army.
At this time, there were already forty or fifty Xingding Wangfu family members and "Yunhu Cavalry" fallen wounded soldiers gathered around the brother and sister, this group of Song soldiers also noticed this small group of wounded and disabled troops, but did not immediately rush towards them, but spread out to both sides, and several Song soldiers in the middle unloaded the gun carriage from the horse, turned the muzzle, and aimed at this side.
"They want to kill us with cannons...... Chen Jinghao sighed.
Chen Yuehua's face turned pale in an instant, and she saw the Song Jun's gunners loading a wooden cylinder into the muzzle of the cannon at an extremely fast speed. Of course, she had no concept of shotguns, but having seen the power of the Song army's cannons, she already understood that when the muzzle of the cannon spewed fire, it was the end of her life.
She broke free of her brother's hand with all her might, stretched out her bow and arrows, and was about to shoot at the Song army, but saw the Song army's gunner light the fire twist, and before she could aim and launch, the muzzle of the black hole had already spewed out dark red fire and black smoke, accompanied by a sky-shattering roar.
Chen Yuehua saw that all the Jiaozhi soldiers in front of her were overturned by some kind of force, and countless blood flowers burst out of their bodies one by one, she felt something burrow into her body, and a strong air current shook her body, knocking her backwards to the ground.
When she fell into the mud mixed with blood, she saw her brother Chen Jinghao fall almost at the same time as herself, several small wounds on his body splattered with blood, blooming in the air one after another.
When the brother and sister fell into the mud, a strange phenomenon appeared, and a strange whirlpool suddenly appeared on the soft mud floor, sucking her and her brother's bodies into it.
What's going on?
Maybe it's a dying hallucination? Chen Yuehua thought so.
Fortunately, when he died, he was as poignant as the legendary hero, and there was no disgusting thing like what his brother said......
It was the last thought that crossed her mind.
"Lili, what are you doing?" Sun Hui in the sky saw the whirlpool that suddenly appeared on the ground swallowing the dying Chen Jinghao brothers and sisters, and immediately asked.
"Save them? Brother Sun, didn't you say that you want to take advantage of this kid? How to use it when people die? Du Lili's voice sounded in the crystal ball in front of Sun Hui.
"I can understand you saving him, but that woman ......" Sun Hui didn't finish speaking, so he interrupted Du Lili, "That's a small gift for you by the way, what a beautiful beauty, Brother Sun, don't be embarrassed, hahahaha." ”
Sun Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head, not paying attention to it again, but watching the situation on the battlefield.
Chen Guangqi's 5,000 "Cloud Tiger Cavalry" and Chen Jinghao's 1,000 Jiading cavalry had been wiped out, and due to the short time of close combat, the Song army's losses were very light, with only a few dozen casualties. He knew that such a result was entirely due to the large-scale use of firearms by the Song army. Of course, the Song army's big axe in close combat is also an important reason why the Jiaozhi army is difficult to resist.
Now that the Song army has successfully controlled the Chihe crossing, the key stronghold of the waterway leading to Thang Long City has been obtained, and the most mobile army of the Jiaozhi army has been annihilated, eliminating worries, the next thing to do is how to annihilate the main force of 200,000 people who are overwhelming the army of the Jiaozhi people.
Thinking that what Kublai Khan was not able to accomplish back then will become a reality in his own hands, he still has a sense of accomplishment.
Gundam commanded the first battle after entering Echichi, and maybe he won't let himself make a move in the next main battle. Sun Hui looked at the "Sword of Victory" on his waist and thought to himself.
Because of the blockade, the news of the destruction of Chen Guangqi's entire army has not yet reached the ears of the people of Thang Long City, so the city is still lively. Except for a few armour-clad officers and soldiers who constantly haunted the various encounters, there was nothing different.
"Do you have an appointment?" A pretty-eyed maid arched her hand towards Chen Guojun and asked.
Chen Guojun's gaze drifted in a certain direction, and his black pupils moved to the left: "Qilan goes to the room." ”
The pretty-eyed maid smiled, her posture was a little more respectful, she raised her feet and walked a few steps forward to Chen Guojun's side, turned around, and spread her right arm with five fingers together and pointed in the direction of Qilan's upper room: "My lord, please come here." ”
An old man sat on his knees in the room, holding in both hands a small jar made of white jade containing chess pieces, and in the small jar were crystal clear black chess pieces.
"Lord Zhao is really good." Chen Guojun separated the two closed wooden doors and walked into the room with his hands clasped together, covered by long, wide sleeves.
The old man's wrinkled face bloomed with a slight smile, and he picked up a chess piece to look at the light, and the blue waves circulated among the chess pieces, and even the sunlight that illuminated it was fainted with a layer of dark green. Satisfied, he put the chess pieces back into the small jar, and the muddy old eyes looked at Chen Guojun, who was draped in his outer robe, and he was still so clear: "Guogong, this is the old man's best chess game." Come on, accompany the old man to the next hand. ”
Chen Guojun sat opposite the old man with an expressionless face, and took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his clothes and put it on the chessboard.
"Your Excellency, you can know that the Song army has almost reached the bottom of Thang Long City." Chen Guojun said.
The handkerchief was opened, and the tiger-shaped jade ornament stained with dark red blood broke into two sections.
