Chapter 345: The Boulder
Guo Jing looked around, then nodded, and said, "Okay, since everyone has already come, you should also know that now the Mongols have begun to officially attack the city!" Now, the Mongols only fired some stone cannons, as well as oil canisters, and did not begin the siege. Our tactic is to take refuge on your own, be careful, don't get hurt, and leave only a few sentinels, if most of them gather at the head of the city, they may be attacked. So leave some people and just stare at the head of the city, and then believe that it won't be long before the Mongols will start to send siege troops to attack the city, and then we will all cheer up and have a good time with the Mongols. ”
Everyone hurriedly shouted: "We will follow Guo Daxia to the death, expel the Tartars, and kill all the Mongolian Tartars!" ”
Guo Jing then said: "Well, now everyone should take shelter on their own, it is best to stay in the place under the corner of the city wall, it will be relatively safe, and when the Mongolian Tatars begin to officially attack the city, everyone can react quickly and go directly to the city wall to defend the city." But ......"
Huang Rong then continued: "Under this city wall, in fact, it is not absolutely safe, in short, no matter what, everyone should be careful." Well, everyone disperse, and if the Mongols stop shelling and start attacking the city, we will ring the bell to warn you, and then please come up to the city immediately and help kill the enemy. ”
"It will live up to the trust!" The people below immediately responded, and then everyone stopped being verbose, but just scattered with each other and found a place to hide from these stone cannons. However, Chen Qiubai did not leave the Guo Mansion Hall, but just found a place to sit here, Chen Qiubai and the others took it for granted that this was the Guo Mansion Hall, at least the safety factor should be relatively high!
"Heck...... Crackling...... "Not long after everyone dispersed, a huge stone hit this Guo Mansion hall, and also smashed a big hole in the roof of this hall. Chen Qiubai made another urgent turn, and he escaped this catastrophe.
"Hey! It seems that as long as there is no safe place in this city, there should be no safe place now! Chen Qiubai looked at the smashed Guo Mansion Hall in a daze, and finally understood that everyone was equal before God, and now everyone in Xiangyang City should be able to be hit by stones.
"In that case, let's find another place to hide. Anyway, it seems to be the same everywhere now, but in my opinion, I'm afraid that only Ye Hongyi among us can withstand the smashing of this boulder! Others should have died if they smashed it. "It seems that He Zudao still admires Ye Hongyi's ability to resist blows, you must know that He Zudao was directly hit by Huang Fu Xuan and vomited blood, and Ye Hongyi was punched by Huang Fu Xuan, but it was as if nothing happened, which didn't make Huang Fu Xuan a little red.
"I'm just rough skin and thick flesh to resist blows, but when it comes to real meritorious service to killing the enemy, I still have to rely on Mr. He Zudao!" Ye Hongyi hurriedly said modestly, and everyone scattered outside while talking.
Originally, after listening to Guo Jing's words, everyone still wanted to go to the bottom of the city wall to take a look, thinking that it was also under the city wall, which was originally a dead end, if they could hide under the city wall, the safety factor should increase a lot.
But when everyone hurriedly ran to the huge city wall of Xiangyang City, they were surprised to find that things did not seem to be so simple, the safe area under the city wall was basically full of people at this time, and these people were basically some disabled and old people in Xiangyang City, and they had no ability to protect themselves at all, let alone fight against those huge stones and canisters of fire oil flying from the sky. Moreover, these old, weak, sick and disabled people are all dressed in rags, and their faces are yellow and thin, and they look very pitiful. If he stepped forward to snatch a safe space and hope of survival with these people, at least Chen Qiubai would never be able to do it.
It turns out that Xiangyang City has gone through so many years of siege and baptism of war, and all the materials in the city have basically been exhausted, and although Chen Qiubai and others have not worried about food and clothing in the past few days, it is entirely because they live in Xiangyang City. And there are so many martial arts masters in Guo Jing's mansion, basically they are all equipped with light skills, and they can go up and down, and go out of the city to engage in some materials, isn't that a piece of cake?
So in this way, the siege of the city for so long, those ordinary people can only drink the northwest wind on the street. They could neither jump out of the city wall high nor get food and supplies from the hands of the officers and soldiers, and there was no way at all, so they could only be miserable and messy day by day. But fortunately, Guo Jing is worthy of being a hero, and if they still have some surplus food in Guo Mansion on weekdays, they will still give some to these people. At least so that they don't starve to death. However, the people at the bottom of the society are still at the bottom, and once the city has been besieged for a long time, Guo Jing's own materials are also a little stretched, so he can't take care of these people.
"Hey...... Let's go! This place is still reserved for these local residents of Xiangyang City! Mu Sicheng looked at these poor refugees, and said with some reluctance, there is no doubt that Mu Sicheng should be regarded as the softest one in the Kunlun team, and when he saw these people in suffering, his eyes immediately became a little moist.
"But this is really the safest place, isn't it? You see...... Even these old, weak, sick and disabled people can stay here in peace, isn't that proof of this? Ma Ningyuan was obviously a little reluctant to leave, you must know that this is a major matter related to his own life, but he can't give up such an effective way to survive this catastrophe because of a moment of soft-heartedness.
At this time, Chen Qiubai also fell into deep thought, and his mood seemed a little complicated, you must know that this place is already overcrowded, and the people inside the city wall are still squeezed out from time to time, and they are also attacked by boulders that bounce from the city wall.
So, in order to be truly safe, you must be close enough to the inside of the wall so that the stones that pop out of the wall cannot hit you, but then someone will still be hit on the periphery.
Chen Qiubai looked at the crowded crowd in front of him, thought quietly for a while, and finally said: "Forget it, let's not squeeze in, it's better to find an open place in the city, everyone takes care of each other, and we should be able to avoid the bombardment of this boulder." ”
