Chapter 106: The Battle Begins
Stormy and misty.
The town, the inn, the room.
The little dragon girl and the lame girl Lu Wushuang sat directly opposite each other.
In the past few days, many times it was Lu Wushuang who was asking Xiaolongnu about Yue Yuan's news, and then he quietly listened to Xiaolongnu talking, and the lame girl was quietly in a daze alone.
"Well, at the beginning of the year, Daoist Yue went to Lin'an Mansion!"
Listening to the rain, Xiaolongnu slowly said where she, her senior sister and Yue Yuan went at the beginning of the year.
Lin'an?
Lu Wushuang was stunned when he heard this, and said unexpectedly: "What are you going to Lin'an for?" I guess it's just hanging out! ”
The lame girl didn't understand the meaning for a while, in what she had always known about Yue Yuan, Yue Yuan shouldn't have gone to Lin'an to hang out, right?
“……”
Looking at Lu Wushuang's very strange expression, as well as the obviously suspicious words, the corners of Xiaolongnu's mouth couldn't help but tremble, to be honest, she really wanted to know what Yue Yuan and Lu Wushuang were doing together. As soon as the lame girl from the weishenme family heard this, she immediately thought of other aspects.
However, the little dragon girl still shook her head quietly, and then said, "This time I didn't go to hang out!" ”
"Oh?"
Lu Wushuang's face still had doubts, and he didn't believe it very much.
"I went to the palace, found the emperor and discussed the territorial security of the Southern Song Dynasty with the officials!"
The little dragon girl tilted her head sideways and recalled for a long time, and then said, "Well, that's what Daoist Yue said at the beginning!" ”
“……”
The lame girl Lu Wushuang was speechless when she heard this.
During that time, she was with Yue Yuan, and with her understanding of Yue Yuan, at some point, Yue Yuan's temperament would definitely do this. Besides, with Yue Yuan's amazing light-weight exercises, Lu Wushuang didn't think that there was really anyone in the palace who could stop him.
If you want to think that Hong Qigong was also wandering around the palace for food, of course, this time Yue Yuan entered the palace not for food, but for Xiangyang's problem.
Among them, Yue Yuan did not tell Chilian Fairy, Xiaolongnu and Hong Lingbo that Yue Yuan was looking for the emperor when the emperor was having entertainment activities in the bed at night with his beloved concubine. Yue Yuan held the teacup, sat quietly next to him and watched quietly.
At that time, it really scared the emperor and concubines enough.
As for whether or not to leave a legacy for others, Yue Yuan doesn't know. But at that time, it was when the emperor wanted to talk about force, Yue Yuan was reasoning, and when the other party was reasonable, Yue Yuan began to talk about force.
And in the next few days, Yue Yuan visited some high-ranking officials in Lin'an with Xiangshuai's light skill of stepping on the moon without a trace, but in the end he got a fairly good result.
Something like that. Yue Yuan naturally didn't tell Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu, after all, they were just people from the ancient tombs, even if the Chilian Fairy had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they had a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, but they didn't know anything about political matters.
I don't know the squalor and darkness in it, but you must know that Yue Yuan even made a deal with some of them, and reached a relationship with the national security of the Great Song Dynasty and the promotion of officials and wealth.
In this regard, Yue Yuan was quite helpless.
But so what?
In officialdom, not everyone will be determined to resist Mongolia. Even though the fire has burned to the eyebrows now, there are still many people who are still running for profit. It can be said that the current situation is not much better than that of the late Ming Dynasty.
As for whether those people will change their hexagram halfway, Yue Yuan is not worried. As long as he is still here, then they who were caught by Yue Yuan will have to continue this transaction.
Then, when the time comes, guarding Xiangyang will eventually have more foundation, rather than just relying on Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife, as well as many people in the rivers and lakes, who spontaneously defend themselves.
Even behind this there is danger. But at least it's a lot better than it is now. And with Huang Rong's means, he obviously won't give up what can be operated. is not as pedantic as Guo Jing, for her brother Jing. Huang Rong can be said to be able to do anything.
……
"Brother Yue, since you are okay now, then I will rest assured!"
After listening to the little dragon girl talking about Yue Yuan's recent situation, Lu Wushuang patted his chest, smiled and put his heart at ease, and said, "Xiexie Dragon Girl!" ”
Just as the lame girl got up and was about to leave, Hong Lingbo, who was dressed in a scarlet robe, ran in from outside, broke into the house, and said, "Oh no, the Mongolian army has attacked Xiangyang!" ”
"Huh?"
"Attack Xiangyang?"
Lu Wushuang, who had just stood up, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Senior sister, you're not mistaken, are you?" ”
This was Lu Wushuang's first reaction, in the past, Mongolia retreated in the spring and began to attack in the autumn. Moreover, during the rainy season, the Mongols never attacked Xiangyang City during this period.
“……”
However, Xiaolongnu didn't say anything when she heard this, and she didn't have a shocked expression, but she was worried about those people in Xiangyang.
"No mistake!"
Shaking his head, Hong Lingbo's face was also very surprised, and said: "Now many people in the inn already know that some people in the rivers and lakes have begun to rush to Xiangyang in the heavy rain. It is estimated that now Xiangyang has already exchanged with the Mongol army. ”
"Are the Mongols crazy?"
When he saw Yue Yuan taking a sin for the Chilian Fairy at the Heroes Conference, although Lu Wushuang left in a bad mood, he still learned about the relevant information very seriously after leaving, and had some understanding of the Mongol army's southern invasion of the Great Song Dynasty.
Even, for this reason, Lu Wushuang also visited the place where the Mongolian army passed by, and the appearance there really made Lu Wushuang break out in a cold sweat with fright.
First.
Lu Wushuang has seen such a murderous person, and he has seen what it means to be trampled by horses' hooves, and the ruthlessness of people and animals is not left.
In the mouths of those who survived, I learned what a national feud was.
Lu Wushuang, who has done a corresponding understanding, was a little surprised by Guo Jing and Guo Daxia, who had been the marshal of the Mongolian Western Expeditionary Army.
Could it be that Guo Daxia gave up the identity of Mongolia's golden sword and horse, firstly because of Mrs. Guo, and secondly, because he saw the ferocity of the Mongols who exterminated humanity?
Moreover, Lu Wushuang, who has relevant understanding, also knows that the reason why the Mongols launch an offensive every autumn is to plunder grain, and second, the time and weather are more convenient. At times like the rainy season, it was absolutely important for the Mongol cavalry to march.
But for now......
The Mongols uncharacteristically launched an attack during the rainy season.
Countless people were surprised, but they didn't know that Kublai Khan's rainy season offensive was the result of several reasons.
"No way!"
"I'm going to Xiangyang!"
When I think of the current situation facing Xiangyang, I am afraid that it is the most serious one in so many years. Lu Wushuang couldn't help it immediately, and wanted to walk out of the inn immediately with a limp and rush in the direction of Xiangyang.
"Senior sister, wait for me!"
Hong Lingbo on the side was naturally worried, after seeing that her junior sister was so anxious, she also wanted to rush to Xiangyang together.
"I'll go too!"
The little dragon girl, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke up and said to her two teachers and nephews.
"Uncle Shi, you can't go!"
"Dragon girl, you can't go!"
Xiaolongnu's words made Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang stunned at first, and then the two of them rejected Xiaolongnu's request in unison. What are you kidding, after learning that Xiaolongnu is now a dead person who has passed away in the eyes of some people, Lu Wushuang knows that this matter has fallen into a strange entanglement.
And Hong Lingbo was even more startled by Xiaolongnu's sudden words. If Uncle Long appeared in Xiangyang, when he thought of the situation he was facing, Hong Lingbo's face would almost turn white with fright.
"Hmm......"
Facing the veto of Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, Xiaolongnu's eyes were just very helpless, and a trace of sadness flashed. When the sadness in her eyes flashed, Xiaolongnu suddenly made a move, and her hands directly pointed at the acupuncture points on Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, and fixed the two of them.
"Ling Bo, Wushuang, I'm sorry!"
Slowly release your hands. After the little dragon girl helped the two girls to sit on the chair, she turned and walked out of the room, and then closed the door.
Immediately, the little dragon girl dressed in white took the robe. walked out of the inn, led other people's horses at will, and then rode away wildly.
in the room.
Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, who were pointed at the acupuncture points, looked at each other, but they were depressed.
An hour later. Acupuncture points are self-explanatory.
Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang hurriedly broke out of the room, and after leading two horses in the manger outside the inn as fast as possible, they rode away in the direction of Xiangyang in the face of the heavy rain.
……
Xiangyang.
Smoke and rain in the sky. The entire city wall had already been drenched, and the prolonged rain had even made the walls moss, and in some places it was even slippery.
Yue Yuan had just seen a soldier fall on the city wall.
Wind and rain.
In addition to the wind and rain, there is also the blood that drifts in the rain.
The two sides had been fighting on the city wall for a while, but there were countless casualties.
The defenders are fine, but the attackers are much worse.
In this rainy season, both the attacking and defending sides are unable to use many of the equipment, either because they are drenched in the rain and cannot be used, or because of the humidity, the effect is greatly affected.
For example, take the current Xiangyang as an example, related firearms, as well as things like Jintang have been greatly affected, and they cannot be used, and the other effects are greatly reduced, even the bow and arrow are due to moisture, and the required strength has greatly increased, which also makes it unusable.
Coupled with this hazy rainy weather, just from a distance of more than ten meters, it was no longer possible to see the other party's people clearly, and only the figures could be seen.
The defenders are already so miserable, and their attackers are even worse than the defenders.
Not to mention that in this siege battle, the Mongol cavalry was abolished, and because of the fog, catapults and the like were completely unable to form an effective blow. It can be said that the two sides are now on the city wall, starting a complete hand-to-hand battle.
There are constantly people screaming and falling from the ladder, and some people roaring before they die, even if they die, they have to pull a cushion on their backs.
on the city walls.
Yue Yuan stood in it covered in blood, and the blood kept flowing from the Yue Que Sword in his hand, dripping to the ground, splashing a pool of bright red.
Looking at the retreating enemy troops at the head of the wall, Yue Yuan knew that this wave of offensive was over for the time being. (To be continued......)
