Chapter 66: The Battle Begins

A day passed in tension and tranquility, the defenders of Xiangyang City did not know what they were about to face, and they were still full of hope for the future, but in Guo's mansion, even with Li Xuan's previous consolation, they already knew the offensive they were about to face, Guo Jing finally did not sit idle, and in the course of a day, he kept repeatedly checking all kinds of possible omissions in the city defense.

In his words, even if it is just a small compensation, there may be one more opportunity to survive in the future, not only this time, but every time he faced the Mongol invasion in the past, he did this, is it effective...... The fact that the city of Xiangyang has stood firm in the face of the Mongol onslaught for twenty years seems to be able to tell a lot.

Xiaolongnu's poisonous wounds have been removed under Huang Rong's careful conditioning, but after the body has been wreaked havoc by both poisonous injuries and internal injuries, it has fallen into an extremely weak state, and it will take time to truly recover.

"Newspaper~"

A quick but long long roar sounded from outside Guo's mansion, and he rushed to the hall in one breath, and he didn't even have time to breathe in the middle, showing that he had a good internal cultivation, but at this moment, everyone sitting in the hall was obviously not in the mood to sigh about this, and even the ignorant Guo Fu and the big and small martial brothers were also affected by the somewhat depressed atmosphere in the hall, and they were silent, standing behind Huang Rong with a stern face.

"Gang leader, Guo Daxia, the Mongols have sent troops."

With the brief words of the beggar disciples, everyone in the hall, including Li Xuan, suddenly felt a sense of relief, just like the darkness before dawn, this kind of calm before the storm is the most torturous thing.

"Guo Daxia, get ready!" Standing up, Li Xuan moved his somewhat sour body, and looked in the direction of the east. muttered: "This battle is not easy to fight." ”

Even if Li Xuan has experienced enough battles since he obtained the plane crossing system, there are many big moves that affect the entire plane, such as in the Yitian World, which turned most of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty into a dead domain. In the Heavenly Dragon Plane, it has swept most of the world, but in the final analysis, these are still taking advantage of the trend.

In the Yitian world, the contradiction between Mongolia and Han has reached the point of breaking out, even without Li Xuan's appearance, according to the normal historical trajectory, Mongolia's qi is basically a few years old, although the Heavenly Dragon Plane is a little difficult. However, the situation of the five kingdoms standing side by side, as long as it can disturb the situation and provoke the contradictions between the Song, Liao, and Western Xia, may be more difficult, but it is not difficult, and the rebellion of the king of Chu and the control of the plot, whether it is to accumulate their own strength or to rise in the north through the rebellion of the king of Chu, they are all taking advantage of the situation.

But this time, it's different.

Condor plane. In the world of low martial arts, it is said that the level of strength. It's not high, but if you look at the situation in the world, for Li Xuan, who wants to meddle in the chess game of the world, the difficulty may be more than the superposition of the Heavenly Dragon Plane and the Heavenly Plane.

The Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty. In this plane, it is the trend of the times, and Li Xuan is standing on the opposite side of the general trend.

With 50,000 Song troops, they faced the 200,000 Mongolian elites who came with the momentum of the Mongolian sweep. In the battle presided over by Li Xuan, this kind of disparity was definitely the first time.

After saying this, Li Xuan walked straight to the direction of the city wall with his guards, and understood what he was going to face next, but he, the king of Xiangyang, couldn't sit in the city and strategize at the moment.

At the same time, ten miles outside the city of Xiangyang, in the Mongolian camp

Kublai Khan stood on the platform in military uniform, quietly looking at the troops that were constantly gathering under the platform, but he did not have a high-spirited look, but his heroic face carried an indescribable gloom.

The strength of Funiu Mountain's resistance was beyond his imagination, and the cunning was even more than he expected.

According to the results of statistics, in that small Funiu Mountain, the Tibetan soldiers are by no means less than 10,000, and it is almost certain that this is definitely the arrangement of the king of Xiangyang, who has never met.

Of course, these are not the most important, what really annoyed Kublai Khan was the tactics of the other party, they would never go out of Funiu Mountain to fight the Mongol warriors head-on, if that was the case, Kublai Khan would not have a headache, and limited by the terrain, the most brave and warlike Mongolian knights could not ride into the mountains and forests to fight, Kublai Khan could not have driven 200,000 troops into Funiu Mountain to protect the grain route, and the infantry, after the five thousand people went in, Kublai Khan never had such thoughts.

Obviously, this army hidden in Funiu Mountain is definitely the most elite warrior of the Song people, relying on their familiarity with the terrain and rich experience in mountain warfare, the troops sent in are like mud cattle entering the sea, and the information obtained from the mouths of the soldiers who escaped by luck, the destruction of the five thousand-man teams will cause absolutely limited damage to the other party, and it can even be said that it can be said to be negligible.

At present, it can only rely on the grain stocks in Nanyang, Dengzhou, and Xinye to barely maintain the use of the army, and some grain can also be transported by water, but every time, it has to confront the sailors of the Song Dynasty, after all, the Mongolian sailors are newly built, and the surface combat is also different from the land battle, and there are too many factors of change, and the warriors themselves have been weakened to the minimum, on land, the Mongolian army can press the Song people to fight, and they have no power to fight back, and on the water, because of the level of science and technology and experience, The situation is reversed.

If it is really necessary to maintain the supply of the army by water, then the cost of it, even the current Mongol Empire, is enough to be dragged down by this war.

Standing on the handsome platform, Kublai Khan only felt that there was a suffocating breath lingering in his chest, 200,000 troops, but was forced to be cornered by only 10,000 Song troops, and had to choose to storm Xiangyang to resolve the dilemma in front of him, whether successful or not, even if Xiangyang was finally captured and the door to the Southern Song Dynasty was opened, but the loss of this battle alone was enough to make the entire Mongolia unable to go south in the next few years, this result was undoubtedly the most unwilling for Kublai Khan to accept, but at this moment, he had to make such a painful choice.

King of Xiangyang - Li Xuan!

Looking up and looking dead in the direction of the head of Xiangyang City, Kublai Khan once again made up his mind in his heart: This person must not stay!

Behind Kublai Khan, the middle-aged scribe frowned and looked at the three Yin Kexi standing on the other side of Kublai Khan, he didn't have much thought about the battle in Xiangyang, the current situation, except for the strong attack, there was no other way to think about it, but for these three masters who went and returned, the middle-aged scribe had a suspicion in his heart.

From yesterday, from the words of the three of them, it is not difficult to hear that this assassination plan, they completely failed, and even lost a small life of Ma Guangzuo, but in addition, the three of them could come back intact, and the reason given by the three was too far-fetched, and they were released by the king of Xiangyang.

Just look at the arrangement of the other party, even when the soldiers are approaching the city, they have to allocate valuable manpower to cut off the food route of the Mongol army, obviously not a kind of soft-hearted, benevolent and righteous pedantic person, just let go of the enemy master who assassinated him so lightly, this can no longer be described by generosity, if the middle-aged scribe knows some modern terms, for this kind of behavior, there are only two words to describe - stupid ×!

Something abnormal is a demon, no matter how you look at it, the other party is not the appearance of a strict IQ disorder, doing this kind of thing, it can only show that the other party has a certain purpose, just the appearance of the three people, and it doesn't seem like an ulterior motive, not to mention, the other party is just a king of Xiangyang, it may sound very good, but in fact, it is no different from the city lord of Xiangyang, and the middle-aged scribe can't think of any ability to rebel against these three masters who already have enough status under Kublai Khan's account.

It's a bad feeling, but ...... The middle-aged scribe's gaze swept over the Golden Wheel Dharma King standing beside Kublai Khan, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, it seemed that the prince had obviously found something wrong, at least not as trusting the three of them as he did on the surface.

"Perhaps, this is exactly what the other party is trying to achieve." Such a thought suddenly flashed in his heart, this matter, if the three of them didn't lie, thinking about it at a deeper level, it was indeed a bit like a counter-plan, but then, the middle-aged scribe dispelled this idea, the martial arts of the three people may be good, but it is just good, in terms of the current battle situation, it is just to act as a guard, in terms of the overall situation, it is not at all painful, and it is impossible to make any waves, if you are the enemy commander, there is no need to use such a complicated hand to deal with these three people, Even if the role of a thousand Mongolian generals is greater, it is greater than these three.

Shaking his head imperceptibly, the middle-aged scribe's eyes looked in the direction of Xiangyang again, compared to Yin Kexi and the three of them, this fortified city that had to be faced now was the most important, at this moment, Kublai Khan had gathered all the men and horses in his hands that could be gathered, and the Mongolian cavalry, infantry, and even slaves were gathered at this moment.

Slaves, the spoils of war taken from the enemy tribes in Mongolia, are generally responsible for transporting grain and grass materials, the combat ability of the captives is very low, even inferior to those Song soldiers, in the eyes of the Mongols, these people are no different from cattle and sheep, under normal circumstances, they will not participate in the war, 200,000 troops, but the slaves who are responsible for carrying food for the soldiers with the army, there are enough 400,000 people, usually nothing, but now...... It seems like a bit too much.

A touch of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged scribe, although he had no combat power at all, but he could consume the body and arrows of the defenders of Xiangyang, and most importantly, he could save more grain and grass!

"Woo woo woo~"

The sound of the horn sounded, and a large number of slaves were driven to the battlefield by the Mongol warriors in a daze, and it was also announced that the war that would determine the fate of both sides officially began. (To be continued......)
