Chapter Seventy-Two: Counterattack

At the head of Xiangyang City, Li Xuan and Guo Jing stood side by side, behind them were the guards at all levels of Xiangyang City and a group of martial arts people, even Huang Rong, who was about to give birth, at this moment also dragged a big belly to the city wall with the support of the little dragon girl, the dawn sun dispelled the darkness, but at this moment outside Xiangyang City, has turned into a country, the four gates of Xiangyang City, as early as last night have been prepared by the sand and gravel blocked, although the flood is monstrous, but in Xiangyang City, it is as safe as Mount Tai, and even the people in the city do not know what happened last night.

The water has receded, and the military camp that was still orderly yesterday has disappeared from sight at this moment, leaving not even a trace, which makes it unimaginable, just yesterday, there were still 200,000 elite troops stationed here, fighting hard for months, and the entire Xiangyang City was a breathless Mongolian army, which turned into a bubble overnight.

"It's a shame for those horses." Patting the solid wall battlement, Li Xuan shook his head with some disappointment, if it weren't for the fact that the Mongolian army was too powerful this time, he didn't want to use such an extreme method, in the era of cold weapons, war horses are a valuable resource.

"Is there only a war horse?" The faces of Guo Jing and a cadre of martial arts heroes and even the Xiangyang guards twitched a few times, the 200,000 Mongolian army, that is, now Mongolia has been powerful all over the world, encompassing the four seas, and the loss of 200,000 elites is enough to make Mongolia suffer a lot of vitality, and I am afraid that it will not be able to go south in a short time.

It's no wonder that Guo Jing and others, the Great Song Dynasty has been decaying for a long time, not to mention a big victory, in the past hundred years, in the battle with foreign races, there have been few victories, and the distance is the closest. I'm afraid it can only be traced back to the famous anti-gold general Yue Wumu in the past, and the battle in front of me can be said to be a glorious victory in the war of invasion of foreign races in the Song Dynasty for more than 300 years, but at this moment, it seems that he is still a little dissatisfied.

"Lord Wang. The Mongol army has been destroyed, Kublai Khan is probably dead at this moment, Mongolia suffered this great calamity, it must be a great injury, I Great Song, at least in the next twenty years, do not have to worry about the problem of Mongol invasion of the south. Huang Rong had a smile on her face, after this battle, Mongolia was afraid that it would not be able to invade the south again in a short time. They can also enjoy their own pastoral life and don't have to worry about the world's major affairs.

"Twenty years?" A sneer appeared on Li Xuan's face, sure enough, after being suppressed for a long time, the instinct of aggression in human bones was also suppressed.

"It's a pity that Kublai Khan is not dead!" Looking into the distance, Li Xuan shook his head lightly. Kublai Khan was the true founding monarch of Mongolia, with the power of Mongolia at its peak today. As the founding monarch, how could he not have the slightest dragon qi, if Kublai Khan died, his dragon qi should also increase, but at this moment, although the dragon qi in his body affected the pattern of the world, the war was endless. But there has been no expansive growth, and in terms of the dragon qi of a founding king, even if he doesn't let his dragon qi break through again, it shouldn't be so meager.

"Why is the prince so sure?" Huang Rong looked at Li Xuan with some puzzlement.

"Because I know." Li Xuan smiled indifferently and said loudly: "Fire." Tang Jun and Luo Feng immediately went into battle, and ordered the sailors to quickly pursue and kill the remaining Mongolian soldiers, leaving no one behind, all of them were killed, and there must be no mistake! ”

"Lord Wang......" Guo Jing opened his mouth, after all, with Mongolia, there is such an incense love, and it is incumbent on him to protect his family and defend the country, but if he wants to slaughter with his own hands, he is unwilling.

"Brother Guo!" Li Xuan turned his head, looked at Guo Jing who was struggling, sighed, patted Guo Jing's shoulder and said: "In this battle, this king personally supervised the battle, Brother Guo and a group of righteous men assisted in guarding Xiangyang this time, this merit and kindness, Li Xuan remembered it, this battle is over, everyone can go back to the city to rest first, I know what Brother Guo wants to say, but this matter is related to the fortune of the country, maybe in Brother Guo's opinion, it is rare to be able to protect my Han people for 20 years, but for me, I don't want to look at my Han family, so it becomes a Hu ranch!" ”

"This ......" Listening to Li Xuan's categorical words, Guo Jing had the heart to dissuade him, but when it came to his mouth, he felt a little pale at the moment, he was not good at words, and he was robbed by Li Xuan for a while at this moment, but he couldn't think of a reason to refute it.

"Brother Jing, the prince's words also make sense, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore." Huang Rong smiled and pulled Guo Jing's sleeve, she is a selfish person, those things in the world of the family and the country, in her opinion, are too far away from herself, if it were not for Guo Jing, she would never have asked about Xiangyang, now the general trend of Xiangyang has been decided, at this moment, she just wants to return to Peach Blossom Island with her husband and children, and live her life quietly, as for the general trend of the world, from this moment on, it has nothing to do with them.

"Lord Wang, if you don't have an order, you rashly send troops, and the court is there, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain." The one who spoke was a former Xiangyang guard, Song Chengxian of the Ming Sect, who did not resign with Lu Wenhuan and others at the beginning, and he had enough ability, but at this moment he was worried.

"Will be outside, the king's order will not be accepted, rest assured, if the court really blames it, this matter will be borne by the king alone!" After taking a deep look at the other party, Li Xuan's gaze swept to a group of Xiangyang soldiers, and said loudly: "Soldiers, I know that without the order of the imperial court, it is illegal to start a war in person, but today, I want to ask you, the Mongols occupy our rivers and mountains, kill our Han people, as soldiers, but we can only watch them kill our compatriots on the land that originally belonged to us, like playthings, playing with and abusing our women, and we can only stand here and watch them wantonly trample on our dignity." ”

"Today, I, Li Xuan, am going to disobey the order once, use the weapons in my hands, to get back our lost dignity, this matter, against the imperial decree, if you don't want to go, this king will never be embarrassed, and if you are willing to go, you will be my Li Xuan's brother in the future, Kaicheng!"

"Boom~" In the neat footsteps, Song Chengxian suddenly found that the world had changed, just because of Li Xuan's words, almost all the soldiers in the city stood behind Li Xuan, ignoring the imperial decrees.

Song Chengxian's face was a little ugly, and he touched the token in his arms, he was in Xiangyang, although he was just an inconspicuous city captain, but secretly, there was still a layer of identity, which was the overseer of the imperial court, that is, the eyeliner placed by the imperial court in Xiangyang City.

It's just that at this moment, Song Chengxian has a feeling that even if he shows his identity as an overseer at this moment, it may not be of any use, even if he really shows his identity at this moment and seizes military power, Song Chengxian believes that without Li Xuan's hands, there will be a large number of crossbow arrows secretly shooting him into a sieve, and afterwards, as long as he pretends not to know and reports as a martyr, without evidence, how can the imperial court offend the princes of the powerful side for him, an overseer with no real power?

At present, with this big victory, Li Xuan's prestige in Xiangyang City has reached a peak, just like what they said, will be outside, the monarch's order is not subject to it, even if he has the tiger talisman in his hand at the moment, but the military is in his heart, Li Xuan has become the military soul of the Xiangyang defenders at the moment, even if there is no tiger talisman, an order, he can command the army, and the tiger talisman is useless for him.

Sighing at the other party's methods, Song Chengxian didn't keep up with the heathead, this Xiangyang City, still needs someone to defend it, in the corrupt and extravagant officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, Song Chengxian is a more pragmatic category, but for now, the Mongolian army has been wiped out in that flood, and the defense is just to clean up the problems left over from the war.

The defenders of Xiangyang were almost all taken away by Li Xuan in one go, and there were only a few hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people who were left behind, and they were unwilling to continue to go to the battlefield to fight hard.

"Guo Daxia, those people drove you out at the beginning, and now I'm afraid they want Baba to beg you." Looking back at Guo Jing with a tangled face, Song Chengxian smiled and said.

General Song laughed. Guo Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head, turned back to greet the martial arts people who stayed, but found that more than half of them were missing, and looked at Huang Rong who was supported by Xiaolongnu with some astonishment and said, "Rong'er, what about the big and small martial arts?" ”

Huang Rong couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this: "I have already gone out of the city with the prince, if I don't watch it closely, I'm afraid that even Fu'er, this girl, will have to be abducted by this prince." ”

"Mother!" Guo Fu was not moved by Li Xuan's words, but simply wanted to join in the fun, and when she heard the words at this moment, she couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied.

"What nonsense!" Guo Jinghu grimaced and roared like a vent.

"Brother Jing, it's windy here, let's go back first." Huang Rong smiled slightly, and did not dissuade her, she knew that Guo Jing was venting.

"Hmm." The mood was a little low, but his eyes touched his wife's already high and bulging lower abdomen, and his eyes became gentle, and after nodding, he temporarily put aside the boredom in his heart and walked with his wife Wang Cheng.

"Guo Daxia, Mrs. Guo, it's time for me to say goodbye." The little dragon girl stood on the city wall, her eyes swept over the army that had gone away, and when she turned around, she said so lightly, her tone was a little indifferent.

"Doesn't Miss Long say goodbye to the prince?" Huang Rong turned her head and looked at Xiaolongnu, during this time, she had a few long talks with Xiaolongnu, and there was already a hazy affection between the other party and Guo'er, but this repeated affection was not released, and Huang Rong didn't want this emotion to be released.

"Nope." The little dragon girl shook her head, nodded to the two, and then drifted away.

Huang Rong opened her mouth, wanting to dissuade her, in her opinion, Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo are indeed inappropriate, but now, she is pregnant, but she doesn't have much energy to care about Yang Guo's affairs, and in the end she can only sigh, what should be said has been said, and the rest can only be left to nature.
