In the twilight, I suddenly heard the faint sound of waves, and I went around a mountain, and suddenly opened up in front of me.
I saw a thin stream of water, passing through the emerald valley and meandering into the river; At this time, the remnant sun in the west has not set, and at the beginning of the full moon in the east, the sun and the moon are shining, shining on the clear water of the Yangtze River, mighty and roaring; The mountains on both sides of the river, steep and undulating, verdant trees, meander to the west, submerging into the depths of the sunset.
Seeing this spectacle, Liang Wenjing was so open-minded that he forgot about the troubles in front of him.
Just as he was in his trance, he suddenly heard Xue Rong shouting: "Chitose, please look, that is Hezhou City." ”
In the vast twilight, a black and swarthy city, by the mountains and rivers, like a monster, standing in the place where the two rivers converge, especially on the water side, the city is 100 feet high, the forest wall stands, facing the river and the sky weather, it is magnificent.
Hezhou City is a big strong city, Li ruthlessly saw it, and he also had a sense of brightness in his eyes, and he was even more energetic, knowing that the most important plot of the iron-blooded Tianjiao would be born in Hezhou City.
A group of people walked towards the city of Hezhou, walked less than two miles, and the smoke and dust in front of them were everywhere, and a group of people and horses were coming. For the first general, he turned over and dismounted, bowed to Liang Wenjing to the ground, and the others did the same.
"Sichuan Jingluo made Wang Li see a thousand years old."
That is the general's way, he is about fifty years old, with a wide forehead and a broad face, sideburns and spots, and a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, which is very eye-catching.
Wang Li didn't wait for Liang Wenjing to reply, and said: "Chitose is frightened by thieves, and he is tired from the journey, so it is not suitable to stay in this wilderness for a long time. ”
He raised his hand and said, "Chitose, please!" ”
Liang Wenjing hesitated: "Wang Jing slightly envoy ......"
Wang Li's expression was heavy, and he interrupted him: "My subordinates have lost the sword gate, and I know that I deserve to die for my crimes. ”
Entering the Taishou Mansion in the city, in the hall, a feast has been arranged. A handful of maids, with low eyebrows and lowered eyes, separated from the side of the road, saw Liang Wenjing, and bent down to salute.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and there was a commotion, and he was stunned for a moment, Bai Pu, Duanmu Changge, Yan Gang and Liang Tiande broke in.
Liang Wenjing was shocked, and the four of them looked at each other speechlessly, the venue was quiet, and those musicians also felt that the atmosphere was not good, so they stopped playing the drums.
Liang Wenjing was about to speak, Bai Pubai fell to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "The subordinates neglected to take precautions, causing Chitose to be in danger, and the crime deserves death, please punish Chitose." ”
Wang Li figured out Liang Wenjing's intentions, thinking that he was annoyed that the four people were derelict in their duties, but he was unwilling to punish them heavily in front of everyone, and he lost the meaning of forgiveness, so he deliberately catered to them and wanted to beat the four people with 200 military staffs.
Liang Wenjing heard that he wanted to beat Liang Tiande, where was he willing, so he had to recognize the brand of King Huai'an, thinking that he had turned around.
Then, Li Hansheng, the Taishou of Hezhou, Lu De, the commander of the naval army, Xiang Zongdao of the Ma army, and Lin Mengshi, the commander of the infantry, came to Jin to see Liang Wenjing.
After some greetings, he was about to continue singing and dancing, when he stumbled outside the door, rushed in a sergeant, and shouted, "It's not good." ”
"What's the alarm?"
Wang Li showed the demeanor of a general and asked quietly.
It turned out that Liu Quan, the defender of Luzhou, surrendered to the enemy, Luzhou fell, and Wuliang Hetai had an army of 30,000 and marched to Hezhou from Route 6.
The Mongolian general Wuliang Hetai led tens of thousands of forwards and stationed 300 miles away from Hezhou, and the Luzhou Navy Division took Shi Tianze as the main commander and Liu Cheng as the deputy and went down the east along the river.
The Mongol Great Khan Meng Ge left the Liupan Mountain camp and led an army of 100,000 to garrison Jianmen.
Everyone was confused for a while, and asked Liang Wenjing for a plan, Liang Wenjing said nonsense that the Mongols would come to the city tomorrow, and the battle was imminent, so it was better to recuperate and recharge and win or lose with the Tartars tomorrow.
rejected Yuechan's self-recommended pillow seat, and when Liang Wenjing was about to sleep, a black shadow fell from the roof and landed in the atrium, but it was Xiao Yuling.
Seeing Yuechan beside Liang Wenjing, Xiao Yuling was immediately furious and scolded: "It turns out that you are no different from those shameless men!" ”
Before Liang Wenjing could answer, Bai Pu's big sleeves fluttered, and he chased after him, and said with a slight smile: "You are so bold, today you are called to insert your wings and it is difficult to fly." ”
Xiao Yuling let out a "bah", waved his knife forward, and fought with Bai Pu.
Although Xiao Yuling's kung fu is strong, she is not Bai Pu's opponent, and after a few moves, she was captured and imprisoned in the stone prison in the mansion.
On the second day, the Mongols approached the city.
Standing at the head of the city, I looked far away, but I saw snow-white yurts rolling along the winding mountains. A fierce autumn wind blew under the city, rolling up misty smoke and dust, scattered between the clouds.
A wisp of mustache flickered, seemingly rising from the depths of the earth, and together with the sound of the cowhide drum, burst out in the air with a shocking sound.
Men and horses poured out of the Mongolian camp like a tide, and among the withered yellow thatch, 30,000 troops lined up, war horses and autumn winds neighed one after another, and the Mongolian army pressed towards Hezhou City.
I saw the Mongols pushing huge ladders up the hillside. At the head of the city, thousands of crossbows and crossbows were attached to the rough granite battlements, trebuchets were filled with sharp stones, and ropes tied to huge rolling logs were stretched straight.
The ladder was still three hundred steps away from the city wall, and tens of thousands of Mongols roared out to shake the heavens and the earth, and in an instant, the charge began.
The sound of arrows and crossbows and the rumble of rolling logs and stones sounded over the hillside, and a terrible scream came from the mouths of the Mongol soldiers, powerful arrows pierced through their leather cuirasses, and the bronze helmets sank under the impact of the falling boulders, and flesh scattered through the cracks, sprinkled among the green vines.
The hard, heavy logs crashed over the towering ladder, and the soldiers were crushed underneath with a heart-rending howl.
Under the strong arrows, the Mongolian army gradually became a little unable to resist and retreated. The morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and tens of thousands of defenders shouted in unison, echoing the sound of Jiang Tao in the distance, for a long time.
"Huh", the shadow of the long arrow flashed in the air, adding a hole to a Song soldier waving a big flag, and the flag fell off his hand, swirled in the air, and fell among the blood-stained wild grass.
Song Jun was dumbfounded for a moment and looked at it. I saw a black horse standing under the city, with flying hooves and a flying mane, and a blue-robed general on the saddle, holding a huge bow in his hand, pointing at the head of the city from afar.
Hearing only a "boom", the second arrow arrived, and this arrow pierced through a crossbow-wielding Song army, and its momentum did not stop, and it did not enter the hearts of his companions behind him.
When the third arrow arrived, Bai Pu's eyes were quick, he grabbed a step, knocked the folding fan up, and the arrow missed its head, deviated obliquely, and shot through the head of a personal soldier behind Wang Li.
The three arrows came out, and Boyan urged the horse to step forward, and the Mongolian army was very excited, shouting like a landslide, and advancing with Boyan's war horse.
Wang Li ordered the three armies, the arrows and stones were like rain, the Mongol army withstood the rain of arrows, erected a ladder twice, the dead soldiers piled up blood-red corpses under the city, the wounded were in pain on the ground, Boyan bent the bow and arrows from time to time, and every arrow came out, one person must fall, no example. However, the Song army at the head of the city finally occupied the geographical advantage, and held on to each other for half an hour, and the Mongolian army gradually retreated.
