Chapter 20: Surprises

In a month's time, the situation in Xiangyang gradually became tense, although the Mongolian soldiers and horses did not attack the city for several days, but relying on the advantage of cavalry, they boldly built various siege buildings outside Xiangyang City, as if they were fighting a protracted war, which also made a group of heroes in Xiangyang City feel heavy in their hearts.

They are not afraid of the Mongols' onslaught, the experience of the past twenty years has proved countless times how good Guo Jing is in defense, no matter how fierce the attack, Guo Jing can resist, but they are afraid that the Mongols will not hesitate to besiege Xiangyang City, cut off water and food, even if Xiangyang City itself has sufficient reserves, but if the Mongols are determined to fight a war of attrition, Xiangyang City cannot afford to consume.

Even the return of Zhuo Ao, except for the buds, did not make others happy, after all, in this kind of large-scale war, the power of the master is very small.

"Husband, where have you been all this time?" Zhuo Ao came to Xiangyang, that night Guo Jing held a small reception banquet in Guo Mansion to welcome Zhuo Ao, there were not many people, it was Guo Jing's family, Yang Guo's master and apprentice, Zhu Ziliu, Wu Santong and Hong Qigong's master and apprentice.

This time the Mongols came violently, although Hong Qigong couldn't be idle, but at this time, he also came back to support his own apprentices, and with him in charge, it was undoubtedly a huge encouragement to the morale of the beggar disciples.

Hearing Yazi's inquiry, Huang Rong and the others couldn't help but prick up their ears, they were also curious about what Zhuo Ao had done during this time, the beggar disciples were all over the world, but they didn't find Zhuo Ao's whereabouts at all, as if they had evaporated from the world, and a month later, they brought a large group of people to Xiangyang, among which there were even many people from the Western Regions, which surprised Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others, where did these people come from?

"Come in." Zhuo Ao clapped his hands, and four people walked in outside the door, two were Han youths, each of them was full of energy, the light in his eyes was restrained, and his momentum was fierce, and he was a rare master at first glance, and the other two didn't seem to have any martial arts, but there was a bit of wisdom in their eyes.

"Shen Gang and Luo Hu, the two of you will lead their respective teams, and from today onwards, you will obey orders under Guo Daxia and help him defend Xiangyang." Zhuo Ao turned his head and looked at the two people behind him, these are the two masters he cultivated with the quick method, but in this world, even if their strength is not as good as the five peers, the difference is limited, such masters are mass-produced, in the past month, he has listened to the world with his divine thoughts, and collected more than a thousand, but the highest achievement is these two people.

"I've seen Guo Daxia." Shen Gang and Luo Hu bowed to Guo Jing, Guo Jing's chivalrous name, they naturally heard that before they met Zhuo Ao, being able to go to Guo Jing's hand was definitely the dream of the two, but now, this thought is much lighter.

"Two strong men don't have to be polite." Guo Jing hurriedly returned the salute, although the two masters can't solve any problems, but to have such two masters join, it can also make them breathe a sigh of relief, during this time, especially after the recovery of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, the combat power has increased dramatically, and they have sneaked into Xiangyang several times, if it weren't for Hong Qigong and Huang Yaoshi here, I'm afraid they would have to suffer a big loss.

"Hehe, the person you kid found, the old name Hanako wants to weigh it." Hong Qigong smiled, his hands suddenly parted, and slapped at the two of them.

Shen Gang and Luo Hu stared at each other, and they slapped Hong Qigong together, each taking two steps back, but Hong Qigong also withdrew two steps.

"Good boy, this skill, even Jing'er may not be much stronger than them, how can you find such a good hand?" Hong Qigong was surprised: "And it seems that he is also proficient in the art of combined attacks, the two of them join forces, looking at the world, I am afraid that a few of our old guys may not be able to win." ”

As soon as these words came out, except for the buds, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, originally thought they were just two ordinary masters, but they didn't expect to be so powerful, and under the combination, there is a combat power comparable to the five uniques, who are these two people? It's so powerful.

"They are all Han people from the North, and their families were ruined by the Mongols, and I used special means to help them improve their skills." Zhuo Ao said indifferently: "In addition to them, there are more than a thousand people I brought, and there are eight people, whose strength is comparable to theirs, and the rest of them probably also have the strength of first-class masters in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Hiss~"

Everyone was thundered by this sentence, not to mention masters like Shen Gang and Luo Hu, there were still eight, and the thousand first-class masters alone were enough to shock everyone.

What is the ability of a first-class master? If you compare the famous masters in the rivers and lakes today, the Quanzhen Seven Sons are the first-class masters, don't look at the Condor, the Quanzhen Seven Sons don't seem to be very good, in front of the Five Uniques, if you don't rely on the Tiangang Beidou Array, you will only be abused.

But then you also have to look at the opponent, under the five uniques, how many masters of this level can be found? Looking at the rivers and lakes, there are definitely no more than a hundred masters of this grade, and now someone suddenly brings out thousands of first-class masters at once, and the first effect of this shock is disbelief.

Not to mention thousands, twenty first-class masters come out, without any formations, the five absolute masters only have the share of running, the Quanzhen Sect now only has six first-class masters, and it can stabilize the name of the first major faction of the Quanzhen Sect, a thousand, what is that concept? To put it mildly, if there are really a thousand first-class masters, plus a few top masters present, Guo Jing doesn't need any art of war, he directly leads these people into the Mongolian camp, chops off Meng Ge's head, and can retreat with his whole body, even if there are 100,000 troops outside now, it is impossible for 100,000 troops to be crowded together.

Of course, if the Mongols lined up in formation, they couldn't be counted like this, and a wave of arrows rained down, even a first-class master would be finished.

However, Guo Jing is not included in the doubts, although the twenty-year career has made Guo Jing mature a lot, but the honest spirit in his bones has never changed, and he believes it directly, and he has already begun to think about how to use Zhuo Ao to give him these masters.

Taking in everyone's eyes, Zhuo Ao didn't explain much, cultivating a thousand first-class masters a month is difficult for others, but it is just a trivial matter for him, not to mention first-class masters, if he returns, even if he is an immortal, he can mass-produce.

Zhuo Ao pointed to the two old men from the Western Regions: "These two are Hui scholars, and the Mongol Hui cannon was designed by them, so I specially went to the Western Regions and invited them and their families." ”

“……”

"Return to the gun?" Guo Jing looked at the two old men in surprise, an excited expression flashed on his face, since Mongolia had a return cannon, the difficulty of defending the city had increased by at least ten percent.

"Well, it's a coincidence, since the cannon was made, it has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, but it is extremely clumsy, difficult to carry, Mongolia is very dissatisfied with this, when I went, they were developing a portable return cannon, and the design drawings were also brought by me, so let them stay in Xiangyang for the time being, to help make the return artillery, presumably whether it is defending the city or attacking the city, it will be of great use to Guo Daxia." Zhuo Ao smiled and took a sip of wine, there were many untruths in these words.

Mongolia does have the intention to improve the return gun, but unfortunately the return gun is to put it bluntly is the advanced version of the stone thrower, with the principle of lever to send stones, after many years of research by Hui scholars, this kind of thing, has been developed to the extreme, to make a stronger return gun, can only improve the quality of the material, even if the development of a more powerful return gun, it will only increase the weight of the return gun, it can not be lighter, the so-called improvement, is only Zhuo Ao will gears, pulleys and other things added in, although it is just a small thing, but it can multiply the power of the transmission, This epoch-making thing was taught to the two by Zhuo Ao, so that these two Hui scholars who were quietly doing learning would worship Zhuo Ao as a god.

"If that's the case, it's a big victory!" Huang Rong showed an excited look on her face, there were a thousand first-class masters before, Huang Rong should have never heard of it, it was too shocking to hear about it, but the value of these two Hui scholars was enough to subvert the balance of this war.

"One thing needs to be noted, these two people will be of great use to me in the future, I just borrow them temporarily, even if the court wants to requisition, it won't work, if the emperor can't think about it, I don't mind going to the palace to chat with him." Zhuo Ao smiled and said, what is the world, he can not care, but just let the Southern Song Dynasty court open his hand to take the talent he got over, but he can't do it, for the imperial court's doctrine, Zhuo Ao is very clear, so give these people a preventive shot in advance, otherwise with Guo Jing's foolish loyalty, maybe, it is really possible to be fooled away by the people of the imperial court, with the greed of the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty court, Zhuo Ao has the ability to swallow the sky, and he can't fill the desire of these corpse vegetarians. The bottomless pit of hope.

"Zhuo Daxia rest assured." Everyone's hearts were cold, not to mention anything else, Zhuo Ao gathered a large number of masters in a month's time, and even went to the territory of Mongolia to drag back the technical talents who were heavily protected by the army, if Zhuo Ao was really unhappy, I am afraid they should be worried about the Southern Song Dynasty court.

"Besides......" Zhuo Ao looked at Guo Jing and frowned, "Are you injured?" ”

Although it was a question, the tone was extremely affirmative, and from the time he saw Guo Jing again, Zhuo Ao found that Guo Jing was injured.

"Not bad." Guo Jing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

"King of the Golden Wheel?" Zhuo Ao narrowed his eyes, looking at the many top masters in the world, the only one who could hurt Guo Jing was the Golden Wheel Dharma King who broke through to the tenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong.

"I can't hide anything from Zhuo Daxia." Guo Jing smiled bitterly: "This Mongolian national teacher seems to have made a breakthrough recently. ”

"If it weren't for that, he would have been a dead man." Zhuo Ao snorted coldly, he didn't expect this thing to dare to jump here, thought about it, waved his hand at Guo Jing, and suddenly, in Guo Jing's surprised gaze, the injuries on his body healed in an instant, and there was no hidden danger left.

"Lay down the true god man!" Guo Jing's eyes widened excitedly, and he was once again surprised by Zhuo Ao's ability, and the others looked at Guo Jing in amazement, not understanding what was going on.

"I'm too big about it." Zhuo Ao thought for a while, stood up and said, "Guo Daxia, come here, I'll pass you on an exercise." ”

Huang Rong frowned and wanted to stop it, but Guo Jing had already walked in front of Zhuo Ao.

Zhuo Ao stretched out his hand and pointed at the center of Guo Jing's eyebrows, if it was Huang Rong, he would definitely be on guard, but Guo Jing didn't have any precautions, so he calmly let Zhuo Ao point at the center of his eyebrows.

"Brother Jing!" Huang Rong was shocked and hurriedly stood up, but Zhuo Ao had already stopped.

Guo Jing stood straight in place, he was originally very stupid, a simple exercise, he had to memorize it for several days, but at this moment, Zhuo Ao directly passed the exercises into his mind, and every word was extremely clear.

Huang Rong, Hong Qigong and the others frowned and looked at Zhuo Ao, not understanding what he had done to Guo Jing, but instinctively became vigilant, and at the same time looked at Guo Jing worriedly, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn. (To be continued.) )
