Chapter 129: The Wolf Smoke Rises

Many years later, the group of monkeys became extinct, leaving only a mountain full of rocks, each with a hole in it?

It's a sad story.

OK.

That doesn't seem to happen.

Mainly after learning the origin of the stone monkeys, the monkeys had a heterogeneous love affair that crossed the biological chain that night.

Most of them failed.

Holding on to the protruding position on his body, he screamed non-stop.

Of course, there are also successful ones.

Among the tens of thousands of monkeys, there are many spirit species that are born with strong physiques.

They succeeded in 'opening' a hole in the stone.

And then....

These 'strong people' have naturally been embraced by more female monkeys.

Well.

As more and more people succeeded, this attempt even became a demonstration of the strength of their genes in the monkey colony.....

All right.

Skip the fun trivia that happens among the monkeys.

The picture was withdrawn from the central state and transferred to the southern states.

The waves of the river are tumbling non-stop.

The sound of artillery fire, which had resounded for half the night yesterday, had ceased by this time.

All that remained was some corpses that had been sent down the river.

Bright red blood, scrambled by underwater fish and shrimp.

From time to time, you can also see many spirits hidden underwater, swallowing floating bones in one gulp.

How did it end?

Under the sun.

The south bank of the Yangtze River.

The two 10,000-person water villages that were originally stationed here have become dead dead at this time.

The pungent smell of blood, which is emitted from time to time.

It attracted a lot of scavengers.

Eagles and crows flying in the sky.

Snakes, insects, rats and ants emerging from the ground.

A scaly crocodile crawling out of the water.

There are more cats and canines, which are congregating around the water village.....

It's a feast!

Of the 20,000 people in the water village, more than 3,000 were killed in the battle.

The rest.

Either the Mongols had already been killed when they crossed the river.

Or when the water village was broken, it had already broken up and fled!

Iron Army?

Joke!

Judging by the times, a unit that collapsed because of the death of one out of ten people can be called qualified.

Ten people died and two died, which can be called elite.

Only those who are defeated by three percent of casualties can be called an iron army!

And the casualty rate soars again, but can still persist in fighting?

It is already a special existence that can go down in history.......

Of course.

It's not that these people are defeated and they can't gather to fight again.

If there is a strong man in the lead.

The defeated troops can still be brought into battle in clusters again......

Attacked by 50,000 Mongols who almost 'jumped out of the cracks in the stones'.

The Yangtze River defense line was breached, and it seemed a matter of course.

Although these Mongols were not good at water warfare, they could not withstand the Southern Song Dynasty soldiers who had just experienced natural disasters, and they were defenseless against them.....

According to the written information, there should be less than 10,000 Mongols stationed on the other side of the river.

How could these people sneak attack?

50,000 people!

And horses!

There are even pre-prepared rafts and wooden boats to cross the river!

Where do these things come from?

Did it fall from the sky?

Even when they were dying, the generals of the two water villages did not figure this out!

And now.

Many cavalrymen with longbows on their backs were marching towards Xiangyang at a galloping speed.

Sneak attack!

Surprise!

Raid the city at lightning speed.

Trick open the gates.

After plundering, a fire burned clean.

It's fast, and it's a grab.

This is the combat style of the Mongol army!

Brave, stupid, extravagant, yet cunning and difficult.

Compared to their Xiongnu predecessors thousands of years ago, the Mongols do not seem to have made much progress.

Strong physique, with a savage style.

Recklessness triumphs over civilization.

But that's what makes the Mongols so powerful, isn't it?

"Oh roar!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Ahead is the city of the cunning southerners!"

"There's a lot of treasure in there!"

"We will take their cities and take everything from them!"

"These cowardly southerners are the treasures given to us by the Heavenly Wolf God!"

"Warriors! Kill them! ”

"Victory will belong to the Heavenly Khan!"

"Victory will be...."

"Oh roar! Golden wolf god, bless your warriors! ”

The laughter and scolding of the Mongols echoed on the official road covered with reeds on both sides.

50,000 people crossed the river.

Under the cover of artillery fire and sharp arrows, nearly 10,000 people were killed and wounded across the river.

and suppressed under fierce firepower, and broke through the two heavily guarded water villages.

There are still 34,000 Mongols left who can fight.

Three out of ten deaths, still able to fight!

Compared with the warriors of the Han land, these nomads' disregard for life is like a hanging!!

An hour later, the two outposts of 200 troops in Xiangyang were broken one after another.

Thick wolf smoke rose into the sky.

In Xiangyang City, the alarm bell rings for a long time!

Groups of sergeants who were supposed to rescue the disaster jumped up the walls one after another.

Look..... Dazed?

Who can tell them what happened?

Obviously in disaster relief.

Suddenly, I saw that the wolf smoke was ignited?

And the day before yesterday, it actually rained fire and rain in the sky, and the earth was cracking.

What's going on?

Is the end of the world coming?

The morale of the soldiers was mostly low.

Even though he was encouraged by the prefect several times, he still wanted to run home to rebuild his house.

No more.

I also want to see my parents, wife and children.......

Pity.

They will not be able to get what they want.

A large number of crossbow bolts were distributed in everyone's hands.

One after another, wooden cannons made of willow wood were pushed up to the top of the city.

Thank you Yue Fei for so many years of busyness.

In any case, after a fatal natural disaster, these defenders still have at least a towering wall that is well protected and armed to the teeth!

The seven-zhang high city wall.

Prominent terraces with interlaced canine teeth.

There are a large number of fortresses at the head of the city that can be used as a foil, and there are many more kinds of defensive faults under the city.

Rejection of horses, iron willows, moats, holes, trapping pits.......

The material is sturdy and the workmanship is solid.

It has taken countless manpower and material resources, and it has been accumulated for more than ten years.

In the words of the late emperor Zhao Yi.

'If one day, it will be attacked by foreigners to the south of the Yangtze River.

The lonely city of Xiangyang.

It will become a stronger city than Taiyuan!

Even if the enemy's army presses the border, even if it is besieged by millions of people, the lonely Xiangyang has the ability to be nailed behind the enemy for three years without breaking!!

And as long as there is still a breath of loneliness.

It will never be like the previous dynasty, and let Xiangyang become a lonely city under the enemy's horses.....

Zhao Yi in the past can be said to be full of confidence in Xiangyang.

He was under the city of Xiangyang and repelled the attack of the Jin.

also believes that as long as he survives, he will never receive the news that Xiangyang has been broken.

But now.

As if to verify what he had said, the Mongols were galloping towards the city with light clothing.

It's time to test Xiangyang City once again.

But he Zhao Yi ......

It's gone.

I can't see it......

......

......

'Bell... Clang... Bell...'

Inside the city of Xiangyang.

The long ringing of the bronze ancient bell rang one after the other.

On the street, I heard the bell and saw wolf smoke.

Many of the city's residents who had lost their homes fell into panic for a while.

What happened?

"What happened?"

Yingchun Road, Blue House.

Hearing the alarm bell ringing, Lan Li, who was listening to the green-clothed report on the recent situation in the city, was like a fried lion!

"It's over, isn't it? It's endless! ”

"Childe, it seems that the alarm bell in the city has been ringing....."

Green-clothed replied in a low voice.

Just yesterday afternoon, the green bell in the city had been rung once.

That time was because Zhao Min's headquarters stationed on Wudang Mountain took the cavalry down Wudang, which attracted the sergeant in charge of guarding on the city wall to warn.

Right now, it's been a day.

This bell has been rung again?

"I know it's a wake-up call."

Putting down a firearm in his hand, Lan Li patted his forehead.

These days.

Because of natural disasters, his anger is a little great.

So that Green didn't dare to speak loudly beside him.

Rubbing the corners of his eyes, Lan Li's voice was a little tired:

"Go and ask Fu Lu to go out and ask what's going on."

"Yes, Childe."

Hearing this, Green Yi bowed down and walked out of Lan Li's study in small steps.

Wait until He's gone.

Lan Li shook his head, looked around at his slightly empty study, and whispered helplessly:

"This is going to go, how can you let people live in peace?"

The green clothes went fast.

Come back faster.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lan Li saw this girl returning quickly.

Merely.

The soothing look on her face when she had just gone out had disappeared, and she had already summoned an indifferent and solemn look.

"Childe, the slave maid heard from Commander Xiao Qi that the bell rang this time because the Mongols broke through Wujiabao and Yujiabao on the back side of Xiangyang."

Xiao Qi.

was originally one of the elites of the Lan family's guards, and now he is a leader in the Xiangyang City Defense Army.

He Zuo Zhong is a person of the same generation.

It can also be regarded as one of the tentacles of the Lan family extending in Xiangyang City.

"Xiao Qi? Where is he? ”

"After Brother Xiao returned home to warn, he took people up to the city wall."

"Uh-huh....."

After hearing that the Mongols burned down two forts in the north that were used for guard.

Lan Li discovered.

There are no surprises in my heart.

Look..... Deserved?

"Green clothes, you sent someone to the city, and you were called back to Dongfang Bai and Miss Li first.

Now that the enemy is coming, I am afraid that chaos will begin to rise in this city. ’

"Slave maid..."

"Well, by the way, help me call Ruan Xiaoqi over."

"The slave and the maid are going to call someone..."

"Go ahead."

Five minutes later, since the last shelling, Ruan Xiaoqi, who had been cultivating with the Lan family, walked into the study with light steps.

Ruan Xiaoqi.

The elder brother is Ruan Xiaoer, the same father and mother.

So on the outside, it's almost the same as his second brother.

It's all the kind of short man who looks thin and thin, but is actually muscular.

He who was cultivating with the mansion was suddenly summoned by Lan Li.

He looked a little excited.

So much so, after entering the door, the first thing he said to Lan Li was:

"Son, are we going to fight again, Xiao Qi will go out and call my second brother to pull the fleet back!"

Lan Li: "??? ”

I'll pull you second uncle!

More than a dozen merchant ships have been damaged for less than a month, and the artillery on them has blown up an unknown number of guns!

If this can be fixed, it will be a hell of a thing!

"Ruan Xiaoqi, your skin is itching again?"

Saying threatening words in interrogative sentences, Lan Li's gaze at Ruan Xiaoqi became dangerous.

This kid isn't a fuel-efficient guy either!

Same as his older brother!

Although the ability is good, people just don't have a stable momentum, and they always want to do something big!

If Zuo Zhong wasn't at home at this time, Lan Li wouldn't have called him over for anything.

"Xiao Qi, did you hear the news that the Mongols are coming?"

"Hey, Son, Xiao Qi's ears are not deaf, the alarm bell in the city is ringing so loudly, Xiao Qi naturally heard it."

When he said this, Ruan Xiaoqi looked at Lan Li's face with a pair of normally fighting eyes.

Half loud, not seeing anything from Lan Li's calm expression, Ruan Xiaoqi Thief scratched the back of his head with a smile:

"Son, is this the Mongols coming to take revenge?"

"Revenge?"

"Hey, Prince, if that's the case, it's nothing if you hand over Xiao Qi..."

"Fuck off!"

casually picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it, Lan Liqi wanted to slap him!

If it weren't for the fear that this kid would be shot to death, Lan Li wouldn't have done it.....

Seeing Ruan Xiaoqi dodge sideways.

Lan Li glared at him angrily and said:

"Your eldest brother Zuo is not at home at this time, and the rest of the people have their own things to be busy with, and now there are few idle people at home, so you can organize the family members first, don't let the chaos outside continue to the house."

"Huh? Childe? That's it? ”

"Or else?"

The situation outside the city is unclear at the moment.

I don't understand how many Mongols came, and what kind of strategic posture they had.....

Besides.

With Ruan Xiaoqi's character, if there is something important, how can Lan Li hand it over to him?

didn't get the expected answer, Ruan Xiaoqi walked out of the Lanli study a little depressed.

Then, I heard him shouting in the blue mansion with the voice of the male duck.

"What about people?

Cao Liuzi, Fang lame!

Grandma put on his armor ....."

Inside the study.

Listening to Ruan Xiaoqi shouting in a loud voice.

Lan Li leaned back on the bench, her expression was a tangled.

In other words, there are fewer people under his hands who can be used?

It's useless!

Or.... How many more?

I was a little speechless.

Subsequently.

The shadow behind Lan Li distorted.

As the bright red flame flashed, the shadow guard transformed into the Fire Ghost King appeared behind Lan Li.

Lan Li's expression was calm.

After picking up a brush and writing a few words on rice paper on the table, he folded the handwritten book into an envelope and handed it to her.

"You take this letter and give it to Feng San, who is stationed in the south of the city at this time."

Taking the letter, the Fire Ghost King's body flashed.

In the next second, it had melted into the shadows around it.

Feng San.

One of the earliest captains of the Blue Family's guards.

Now, he is a commander of the Northern Guard Army in Xiangyang City.

He had a 1,300-man army under his command,

It can also be regarded as a hidden dark line of the Lan family in Xiangyang City.

Well.

Feng San had six battalions under him, four of which were guards from the Lan family who served as battalion commanders.

Even.

The team leaders and captains below, and many of them are enlisted by the Lan family's guards.

Other words.

As long as Lan Li is willing.

He anytime, anywhere.

can turn these 1,300 people into the Lan family's private army......
