Jian Mingyue, who was in the mood to watch the play, followed the heroes of the rivers and lakes led by Guo Jing and Huang Rong to live in the inn arranged by the Xiangyang guard Lu Wende.
Speaking of which, Jian Mingyue showed her face again. Guo Jing and Huang Rong had contact with Lu Wende more than ten years ago, at that time Lu Wende was the guard of Xiangyang, the Mongols wanted to attack Xiangyang, Guo Jing and Huang Rong hurriedly came to inform Lu Wende after getting the news, but they were regarded as nonsense by Lu Wende, and the angry Guo Jing and Huang Rong could only use force to coerce him to gather troops to resist. But the cooperation between the two sides is not very pleasant, even if they rely on their husband and wife to keep their official positions, they still have quite complaints. Now that Guo Jing and Huang Rong are here again, Lu Wende is not tired of being crooked.
But when Lu Wende found Jian Mingyue in the crowd, his attitude immediately changed, and he suddenly changed from a high-ranking court official to a dog-legged, and he was very attentive to invite the heroes to settle in, and he also paid out of his own pocket to charter the inn for the heroes to stay. In the face of Jian Mingyue, she seemed to be particularly attentive, and she simply served her as a master. Everyone is not stupid, and naturally they can see that Lu Wende is currying favor with Jian Mingyue.
As the supreme governor of Xiangyang, why did Lu Wende want to curry favor with a woman in the rivers and lakes? Even if this woman's martial arts are extremely high, it won't make Lu Wende stammer, right? Could it be that Jian Mingyue has another identity? No matter what the other identity is, in short, it is not to be underestimated. Although Jian Mingyue is very maverick, she does not interact with her colleagues in the rivers and lakes at all, and her reputation in the rivers and lakes is not very loud, but through this incident, everyone knows in their hearts, it seems that the real boss behind this gathering of heroes is not Guo Huang and the others, but Jian Mingyue.
The battle for the attack and defense of Xiangyang is about to begin, and this is a great opportunity to gain experience. In the past few years, the Mongols' attack on Xiangyang was too small, and it was good to have 50,000 or 60,000 people, but this time it was different, the Mongols mobilized more than 200,000 troops, with Kublai Khan as the main commander, and came with the heart of victory, and it was bound to fight very fiercely. Therefore, Jian Mingyue's body also rushed to Xiangyang with Jian Tianming and Hu Yujuan, wanting to take the opportunity to upgrade a few more levels. As for the safety of Jian Tianming and Hu Yujuan, Jian Mingyue is not worried at all, with her by her side, let alone 200,000, it is 2 million, and don't want to hurt them a single hair.
The Mongols finally arrived, and soon sieges began. At this time, the Mongols occupied the Central Plains and subjugated many Western countries, and obtained a lot of good things, among which the siege equipment reached the top level. What ladders, trebuchets, siege towers, and ramming cars are all very sharp, and the defenders of Xiangyang who fought are bitter. Jian Mingyue muttered secretly, thinking that they should feel lucky, the most powerful Huihui cannon, also known as the Xiangyang cannon, has not yet been invented, otherwise you see a stone bullet weighing one hundred and fifty catties falling from the sky, and the city wall can be smashed down at once, I don't know how desperate it should be.
These are nothing, the most disgusting thing is that the Mongols have a tradition of attacking cities, that is, to capture ordinary people to block arrows in front. When the defenders saw that there were old and weak women and children crying all the way down, they often couldn't get down, but as long as the defenders relented, the Mongol army would take the opportunity to approach and avoid the rain of arrows on the way to the charge. And with the war, the common people, as the forerunner, still have no way to live.
It would have been better if the generals defending the city had relented and opened the city gates to let the people into the city, and the Mongol army would be mixed in with the common people and could enter the city gate without difficulty. As long as they entered hand-to-hand combat, the Mongols would have the upper hand by virtue of their numbers, and it would be easy to take the city.
Due to Guo Jing's strength, Lu Wende was directly elevated, and the command of defending the city was all under his command. And Guo Jing is a virgin character, he can't see the innocent and tragic death of the people, and it is inevitable to let the people into the city. In this way, the defenders had to engage the Mongols in close combat. Fortunately, with the help of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, it is definitely not possible to let them fight, but this kind of melee is just right for them, and it is easy to eliminate the Mongolian soldiers who are mixed among the people.
It's just that it is easy to eliminate the Mongol soldiers among the common people, but it is not easy to resist the rain of arrows from the Mongols. Once the Mongols in the distance found that few of them had been killed, they would fire arrows in unison, and the heroes and ordinary people on the side of the Great Song Dynasty would be shot down in a large area, suffering heavy casualties.
Kublai Khan, the commander of the Mongols, inherited the tradition of the Mongols and used his troops extremely ruthlessly. It was found that whenever the Mongols attacked the city, there would always be some Jianghu people who did not wear military uniforms to defeat the Mongolian soldiers with fierce martial arts, so that the Mongolian soldiers could not stand on the city at all, and they knew that the biggest obstacle to the capture of Xiangyang was these Jianghu people. And the best way to consume these Jianghu people is to drive the people into the city, and then cover them with a rain of arrows when they intercept the pursuing soldiers, so Kublai Khan ordered to find more people to lead the Jianghu people out of the city to rescue.
Because of his order, the people within a radius of hundreds of miles were thrown into the city and used as siege equipment. The Song people are not stupid here, and after two such incidents, they saw the intentions of the Mongols. It can be seen that there is still no good way to solve it.
Huang Rong is the chief thinker of Song Jun's side, but she is now with a big belly, and she still has a lot of chores to worry about, she is upset and in a bad state, and she can't think of any good way for a while. Guo Jing was helpless, so he thought of Jian Mingyue and asked her if she had any plans.
Jian Mingyue is not Huang Rong, she is not so tricky, she has thought about it for a long time, except for using tricks other than martial arts to forcibly break the game, there is really no good way. For example, if she bombarded with fireball, the Mongols drove the people to attack the city once, and she bombarded the Mongols once with the fireball technique, which could make them understand that this was revenge for their expulsion of the people, so they didn't dare to use this trick. Or use stealth to infiltrate Kublai Khan's tent, cut off his ears, fingers or something, and warn him, which can also achieve the same effect.
It's just that she can cut off Kublai Khan's ear, why not kill him directly? It's not easy to explain. Could it be that she deliberately kept the Mongols to kill slowly in order to gain experience? The same is true with the fireball technique, which is not done by martial arts, it is clearly a spell. Since there is such a powerful spell, why not just bombard Kublai Khan? Therefore, she could only shake her head and let Guo Jing go to someone else to ask for advice.
In fact, Jian Mingyue also wanted to make a big move, and in one fell swoop to wipe out all the 200,000 troops of the Mongols, and he could earn countless experiences at once. But it would be too troublesome to be discovered by someone, and now she has already attracted the attention of countless people just by showing the strength of the world's number one master, and if she exposes her spells again, she is afraid that she will be surrounded wherever she goes in the future, and she will not be able to stay in this copy at all. Therefore, even if they want to bomb, they have to wait until they feel that they are leaving, and then leave after the bombardment to avoid trouble.
Since Jian Mingyue had no choice, Guo Jing had no choice but to use his own methods to organize a team of masters of the rivers and lakes to block the Mongols who were arresting the people everywhere. This is a method, no one knows where the Mongols will go to arrest people, nor do they know how many people there are in the Mongolian squad that captured people, let alone what to do if they are caught up by the Mongol reinforcements after saving the people.
But fortunately, when Guo Jing organized this team of masters, he also pulled Jian Mingyue on. With Jian Mingyue here, no matter how many people the Mongols have in the capture squad and how many reinforcements there are, it is not a problem. Even because of Jian Mingyue's presence, the task of intercepting the Mongolian capture team has become the same as an outing.
Of course, there is no danger for Jian Mingyue herself, and others don't think so. Without the protection of the city walls, there is always a sense of unease. So when Jian Mingyue brought Yang Guo, Lu Wushuang, Cheng Ying, and Xiaolongnu with them, everyone felt that Jian Mingyue was really selfless. Seeing this situation, Guo Jing also handed over Guo Fu to Jian Mingyue. He himself wants to sit in Xiangyang, and he can't participate in the operation, so he sends his daughter, and no one can say anything.
It's just that Guo Fu's eldest lady can't change her temper anywhere, and Yang Guo and Lu Wushuang are people who don't want to get used to her, and the two sides have become rivals within a few days together, and they are noisy all day long. This is nothing, the key is that this eldest lady often acts without obeying orders in order to be capable. Fortunately, Jian Mingyue has a big eagle to monitor the Quartet, and there is a clone that can take care of several aspects, so she didn't have an accident. But in order to teach her a lesson, he deliberately made her suffer a lot before rescuing her. This made Guo Fu know that he was powerful, and his temperament was a little more stable.
Jian Mingyue had a big eagle reconnaissance and a strong force as a backer, and the capture team sent by the Mongols also suffered a lot of losses. At first, one after another, the hundred-man team disappeared, and Kublai Khan increased his forces and sent a thousand-man team, which resulted in heavy losses one after another. Kublai Khan had no choice but to simply send three thousand-man teams to act collectively, one thousand-man team as a decoy, and the other two thousand-man teams followed, and immediately stepped forward to support if something happened. But this can't be done, no matter how many soldiers the Mongols have, Jian Mingyue can fight her way out and escape with the heroes who follow her.
Seeing that the capture team sent out had lost more than the siege city, and the people nearby had almost captured it, Kublai Khan had no choice but to withdraw the capture team. Without the common people as bait, there is no killer weapon to deal with the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and the Mongols can only continue to use the traditional siege method and pile up with human lives.
The Mongols were outnumbered, and the defenders of Xiangyang had strong individual strength, and both sides had their own advantages, so they were stalemate for a while. Since the war is stalemate, the time is bound to drag on for a long time, and it is impossible for everyone to focus all their energy on defending against the enemy, and they must also pay attention to their private lives. Perhaps because they have fought side by side, the relationship between Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu has progressed rapidly. Because of Jian Mingyue's encouragement several times, Cheng Ying finally mustered up the courage to start chasing back. But she is also friendly to Xiaolongnu, and she will never be jealous and make Yang Guo embarrassed. This point especially touched Yang Guo, so that he was also moved, and gradually accepted Cheng Ying.
But there are also new situations, and Guo Fu actually stepped in to stir up the situation. In the original plot, Guo Fu's feelings for Yang Guo are very complicated, and now Guo Jing has not accepted big and small martial arts apprentices, and Guo Fu has no opposite sex of the same age around her, Yang Guo is the first person she comes into contact with, so this eldest lady will inevitably fall. It's just that Yang Guo has Xiaolongnu on the left, Cheng Ying on the right, and Lu Wushuang to help him, Guo Fu is alone and bullied, so he can only run to Huang Rong to cry. But what can Huang Rong do? The junior has a few words, does he want her, the leader of the beggar gang, to come forward to seek justice?
And Huang Rong's reputation for doting on her daughter is not in vain, she simply went straight to the core, regardless of her big belly, she actually found Jian Tianming and Hu Yujuan, and wanted to propose marriage to Guo Fu and Yang Guo!
