Chapter 310: Hoeing the Strong and Helping the Weak

"Hmph, let you live two more days, farewell-"

Ouyang Ke naturally wouldn't suffer this immediate loss, and seeing that he was not the opponent of the old naughty boy, he suddenly became cowardly, and hurriedly flew up to the wall, shaking three times and two times, and the trace was gone.

The old naughty boy naturally didn't chase him, after all, Ouyang Ke is the descendant of the "Western Poison", in the eyes of the old naughty boy, this is a junior, and he can't kill them all.

Seeing this, the old urchin thought about turning away.

At this moment, Wan Yankang, who was sitting on the ground, said "Wow-", and another mouthful of blood spurted out.

It seems that he was not only devoured by the cold poison of his "Xuanming Divine Palm", but also by Ouyang Ke's strong internal force, and his internal organs were injured.

"Hey, it's so troublesome, look at your half-dead appearance, the old urchin can't leave if he wants to, I'm afraid of you......"

At this time, the guards scattered around also hurriedly gathered around and carried Wan Yankang to the bed with all hands and feet.

The concubines were obviously frightened, and they were far away one by one, not daring to come closer, which was exactly what the old naughty boy wanted.

The old naughty boy has always been the most troublesome with women, and when he sees a woman, he unconsciously has a headache, and the concubines who didn't finish Yan Kang came to make trouble, and the old naughty boy just could heal Yan Kang with peace of mind.

The old naughty boy and Wan Yankang, the internal skills they have learned are all the mental methods of the Quanzhen Teaching, and the old naughty boy uses his internal strength to heal Wan Yankang, and he can naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day it was dawn.

As soon as the morning dawned, the sound of the Mongol army attacking the city came from the north and south gates of Kangcheng, and the heralds ran into the Zhao Wangfu one after another to report the news.

It's a pity that Wan Yankang was at a critical moment of healing at this time, and the commander of the guards was strictly warned by the old naughty boy that he should not come in and disturb him until he came out.

Outside the north gate of Kangcheng, in the barracks of the Mongolian army Borshu, Ouyang Ke was impressively present.

A night passed, and Ouyang Ke's left arm still couldn't use his strength, which made him even more jealous of the old naughty boy's kung fu.

"Ouyang Gongzi, are you sure that Yan Kang's life will not be long after you?"

Although Borshu doesn't treat people like Ouyang Ke very well, after all, it is the time to employ people, and on the surface, Borshu still gives Ouyang Ke enough respect.

"Marshal Borshu, Wan Yankang was seriously injured by my palm, and there is cold poison in his palm, and he will not live for ten days at most."

"The Mongol army should speed up the pace of the offensive and take Kangcheng in one go, so that half of the territory of Western Xia will become the pasture of the Mongols."

Ouyang Ke proudly drank the "Song Bai" in the bowl, but unfortunately, the taste was still much worse than "Hero Drunk".

To be honest, Borshu didn't believe Ouyang Ke's words very much, although he also knew that Ouyang Ke's martial arts were strong, but after all, Borshu was not a martial arts person, and he didn't know what kind of level Ouyang Ke was.

What's more, although Ouyang Ke claimed to have seriously injured Yan Kang, he also returned with an injury.

In this way, the doubts of Borshu were deepened.

Of course, Kangcheng still has to be attacked, just as Ouyang Ke said, it is necessary to take Kangcheng as soon as possible.

Because, Borshu knew very well in his heart that he had not completely eliminated the men and horses of Monk Yan Chen.

After three days and two nights of pursuit, the Mongols almost completely annihilated the seven or eight thousand men and horses led by the monk Yan Chen at the cost of more than 3,000 lives.

However, among the many corpses, there was no shadow of Monk Wanyan Chen.

However, when the city of Mengzhou was breached, the body of Yilapua was found, which was called a tragic scene.

Listening to the commander who attacked the head of the city, he said that before he died, he moved to Pua, and bravely collapsed the lake.

Even though he was seriously wounded in the leg, he was unable to stand, but he still leaned against the city wall and fought hard to kill more than 30 warriors of the Mongol army.

In the end, it was the three commanders who shot together, and with the combined efforts, they were able to split the body of the Shifting Pua Blade.

The Mongolian army dispatched a total of 40,000 horses, experienced the siege of Mengzhou, and fought a few battles with the monk Yan Chen, and now there are only more than 30,000 people left who can fight.

In other words, the Mongols spent nearly 10,000 troops, but wiped out 30,000 Wanyan Kang's army, plus a fierce general, Yirapua.

The north and south gates of Kangcheng began to attack at the same time, and Borshu had no intention of staying in the barracks, letting Ouyang Ke eat and drink there by himself, and Borshu personally came to the city to supervise the battle.

The 30,000 Mongol army was divided into two, with 15,000 men each led by Borshu and Timurge, and at this time, 10,000 "loyal warriors" were gathered at each gate in Kangcheng.

This is the army directly under Wan Yan Kang, among the three strong forces under Wan Yan Kang, in terms of combat power alone, it is lower than the "loyal and filial army" of monk Wan Yan Chen, but it is above the "loyal and righteous army" of Yila Pua.

Wan Yankang was not there, but the 20,000 "loyal and brave soldiers" were under the leadership of the deputy general and several commanders, guarding the north and south gates.

Kangcheng, the city named after Wan Yan Kang, was built as a base camp from the very beginning.

Therefore, whether it is the south city gate or the north city gate, its defensive strength is no less than that of those important cities in Western Xia, especially the height of the city wall, which has reached an astonishing three zhang two.

You must know that in a border city like Mengzhou, the height of the city wall is only a little more than two zhang.

"Marshal Borshu, this Cannes is not easy to fight-"

The battle had been going on for an hour, and the Mongols had only destroyed the antlers on the periphery, and had not even completely filled the moat.

After chasing the remnants of Monk Yan Chen all the way, almost all the bulky siege equipment was left in Mengzhou City.

In the face of this three-and-two-square-Kangcheng, the Mongol army suffered too many losses.

And the defenders in Kangcheng, even if the archery could not catch up with the Mongols, with their condescending advantage, they had a faint upper hand.

"Tell the Mongolian warriors that Kangcheng is the lair of Wanyan Kang, there are countless gold and silver treasures in it, and there are countless 'heroes drunk'."

"When the city of Kangcheng is broken, all the property in the city can be taken by the warriors of my great Mongolia. The first to open the gates of the city will be crowned as the commander of a thousand masters, and will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and ten beauties——"

It is also the usual incentive method of the Mongols, but it really works if it can't stand it, and "clear rewards and punishments" has always been the basis for the Mongolian army to maintain high-pitched combat effectiveness.

People die and birds rise to the sky, and they do not die for thousands of years.

When Marshal Borshu's heavy reward order was completely passed down, the Mongol offensive was really invigorated.

"Uncle Shi, just let me out-"

Near noon, Wan Yankang finally came to his senses, and his internal injuries were much better, but the cold poison was still there, and Wan Yankang needed to refine it slowly.

It's a pity that the current situation doesn't give him a chance to get rid of the poison at all.

"Hmph, you kid really don't know what to do? How much internal effort did my old man spend to save your little life, and you actually want to go out and die? ”

Although Wan Yankang's life was saved, it is impossible to use force now because of his seriously injured body.

"Uncle Shi, the Mongolian army outside is attacking the city, but the only two generals under my command don't know whether they are alive or dead at this time."

"If this Kangcheng is breached, I will have no way to retreat, and the 20,000 'loyal soldiers' and tens of thousands of people in the city will be brutally murdered by the Mongols."

Wan Yankang struggled for a moment, but he couldn't sit up from the bed.

"Okay, okay, my old man is afraid of you, I'll go to the city tower for you to see the head office, right?"

The old naughty boy couldn't finish Yan Kang, but he really couldn't let him get out of bed.

Thinking of the healing chapter in the "Nine Yin True Scripture", he simply taught Wan Yankang directly and let him heal in the room by himself.

In the eyes of the old naughty boy, although Wan Yan Kang is also a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, he thinks that this "Nine Yin Healing Chapter" may not be regarded as a martial art, and now passing it on to Wan Yan Kang can not only allow him to heal his own injuries, but also not against the wishes of his senior brother.

The Mongol army attacked for a whole day, and after dropping thousands of corpses at the north and south gates, they retreated like a tide.

Building siege equipment overnight, Borshu and Timuge both realized that it was too unlikely that they would take the fortified city in front of them with their courage alone.

"Uncle Shi, thank you for your hard work—"

The Mongols retreated, and the old urchin who had been in the north and south city towers for a long time naturally returned to the palace of King Zhao again.

"Hey, it's really boring, those Mongolian soldiers are all waste, basically they can't even go up to the city tower, and occasionally they come up so twice, and they are killed by the soldiers on the city tower, so that my old man has to jump outside the city to play with them."

Well, there are still people who defend the city who think that the other party can't come to the city tower, and what is even more exaggerated is that the old urchin jumped outside the city tower by himself.

He didn't want to kill people, he just wanted to find someone to play, and not a single Mongolian soldier died under his men for half a day.

However, many Mongol soldiers were robbed of their weapons and shields by him, exposing them to the bows and arrows of the defenders of the tower.

"After I finished talking Yan boy, you guys are just guarding it? I don't think your people are the opponents of the Mongol army, and even if you defend the city, you may not be able to hold it. ”

"This ......"

Wan Yankang was also very depressed.

The Mongol soldiers came to the city, but they were seriously injured at this juncture, and the only two generals did not know whether they were alive or dead, did they really hope for the "Dunwu Army" in Yinzhou City?

Yesterday, before the Mongols besieged the city, Wan Yankang had already sent someone to Yinzhou City, with his token and a distress letter.

From Cannes to Yinzhou City, it is less than a day's journey, and if it is a fast horse that is ridden alone, four or five hours is enough.

Wan Yankang believed that the people he sent out should have arrived in Yinzhou City long ago.

So, will Meng Gong and his "Dunwu Army" meet death and not save him, or will they come to help him break the siege?

Wan Yankang thought of another question, if the "Dunwu Army" of the Meng Communist Party really came, then after driving out the Mongols, where should he Wan Yankang go?

Ouyang Ke's words to persuade him to surrender are still in his ears now, although they are a little harsh, but they are not unreasonable.

However, Wan Yankang did not want to surrender to the Mongols.

So, can he surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, or does he really want to surrender to Guo Mo?

Wan Yankang thought of the scene last night, when he was on the verge of death, what appeared in his mind was Mu Nianci and Yang Guo.

Could it be that I really fell in love with the woman who ran the rivers and lakes?

Thinking of Mu Nianci, Wan Yankang unconsciously thought of the "competition to recruit relatives" in the Zhongdu City many years ago, and thought of the man with a weathered face.

Wan Yankang is very contradictory, as if he has many choices, and as if none of them is the result he wants?

On the second day, it was not until the hour that the Mongol army came out of the camp one after another.

After a night of rushing production, there were finally more than a dozen ladders, and here in the North Gate Borshu, there were even two rough trebuchets.

It's a pity that after all, it was made in a hurry, and neither the performance nor the number of artillery stones could meet the needs of the siege.

However, Borshu could not wait, or did not dare to wait.

Even, when the siege began today, he had already sent several teams of scouts in the direction of Yinzhou City.

Yesterday was a newcomer, and the city was directly attacked, and there was no army in time to come to the rescue.

Not today, but Borshu knows that there are still 50,000 "Dunwu Army" in Yinzhou City, and once they come out, his 30,000 Mongolian troops may not be able to resist it.

At least it would be a lose-lose outcome, and that was not what he wanted in his Borjutsu.

If all the 30,000 Mongolian iron horsemen are gone, the Mongolian dream of Western Xia may really only stay in the dream.

"The warriors of the Great Mongolia, Wan Yankang in Kangcheng, are now seriously injured and dying. The Han people have a good saying, take advantage of his illness and want his life, enter Kangcheng, and take the head of Yan Kang——"

"All of them—"

"All of them—"

In the south and north of the city, the horn of the bull horn has been ringing non-stop, and the defenders on the city tower have long been waiting for it.

After a day of fighting, although the "loyal army" defending the city suffered about the same losses as the Mongol army besieging the city, that is, even if the "loyal army" had the advantage of defending the city, they could not take much advantage of the Mongols.

However, these "loyal soldiers" who defended the city were no longer so "afraid" of the Mongol army outside the city.

It's all two shoulders and one head, why should we be afraid of you Mongols?

What's more, many of these "loyal and brave" sergeants have bought their own properties in Cannes, and some have even married and had children.

To defend this Cannes is to guard their own families and their hope of survival.

It's just that the people in Cannes heard the piercing horn horn, but some of them were terrified.

After resting for another night, Wan Yankang could barely get out of bed, but he still couldn't exert his strength, and he could still feel the cold air hitting his body from time to time.

"Lord Wang, yesterday's battle damage has been counted, the loss of nine hundred and sixty people at the south city gate, and the loss of one thousand and fifty-four people at the north city gate."

In one day, the 20,000 "loyal and brave troops" lost one-tenth of them, and this kind of continuation will not last long.

"You go to the north and south gates to give orders, our reinforcements will arrive soon, don't be stingy with arrows and materials to defend the city, and give this king a hard beat-"

Wan Yankang couldn't go to the city tower, but he was already able to receive and transmit information about various battlefields, and he was able to give some command.

Another two hours have passed, and today's siege battle is even more tragic than yesterday.

The trebuchets of the Mongols at the north gate, the cannons were scattered before they were finished, and dozens of rounds of cannons still fell on the tower.

Some unlucky sergeants were hit by the artillery, and their bones were broken and their brains were cracked.

Although the lethality is not strong, the deterrent power is terrifying enough, and the Mongol army took the opportunity to launch thousands of arrows, and the climbing team even carried the ladder to the city wall.

"Hey, I've been beaten down again, and another thousand-man team will go up—"

This is already the third thousand-man team sent by Borshu today, the first thousand-man team has been withdrawn, and less than four hundred of the 1,000 Mongol warriors have returned alive.

Now, the second thousand-man squad has also been repulsed and is slowly withdrawing.

Immediately afterward, Borshu sent a third thousand-man team.

"Blowing the trumpet, taking cover with a bow and arrow—"

Without giving the defenders on the tower any respite, the broken ladder was once again leaned against the wall by the Mongols.

"Boom—"

What is this sound?

Borshu, who lives in the middle army, felt that the whole earth was trembling.

Actually from the northwest?

"It's not good, it's the 'loyal and filial piety army' of Monk Wanyan Chen-"

Borshu, who grew up on horseback, could naturally hear the sound of thousands of horses galloping, but the sound was so thick that it was clearly a sound that only heavy cavalry could make noise.

"Suspend the siege, and the rear team will send 5,000 iron cavalry to slow down the speed of the 'loyal and filial army', send people to the south city gate, and let Timurge Khan quickly send 5,000 iron cavalry to support."

Borshu knew that there were 8,000 heavy cavalry under the command of Monk Wanyan Chen, and if he wanted to completely contain the other party, he would need at least 20,000 iron cavalry to match it.

Soon, the heavy cavalry of Monk Wanyan Chen was already fighting with the rear cavalry of Borshu.

Compared with the offensive and defensive battles on the city tower, the visual impact is even more terrifying, and the speed of casualties cannot be compared.

However, once the two sides became entangled and both lost their speed, the advantage of the Mongol army was manifested.

"Kill these Mongol minions and avenge the fallen brethren—"

Monk Wanyan Chen wielded a war knife with one arm in his right hand, his left arm was injured in the previous battle, and he still can't use it normally.

When Monk Wanyan Chen saw these Mongols now, he was full of hatred, and the 10,000 "loyal and brave troops" led by himself were completely annihilated in the hands of the Mongols.

If it weren't for the hundreds of guards who sacrificed their lives to cover him and escaped, I am afraid that he would have become a ghost under the sword of the Mongols.

Therefore, as soon as Monk Wanyan Chen returned to the "Loyal and Filial Army" station, he simply bandaged it, and scattered all the scouts in the "Loyal and Filial Piety Army".

Two days later, the news of the siege of Kangcheng by the Mongol army was obtained, and the monk Wanyan Chen came out of the nest and led 8,000 "loyal and filial piety troops" to roar.

"The marshal of Borshu is going to panic, and Brother Timu is coming-"

Brother Timur actually came over in person!

When he heard that the heavy cavalry of Monk Yan Chen was coming, he knew that the situation here was critical, so he left the deputy general to supervise the formation, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.

Personally led 8,000 iron cavalry to the north city gate, Timuge knew that if he could really eliminate the heavy cavalry of Monk Wanyan Chen, then Wanyan Kang could be regarded as the real general trend.

At the north city gate, there were about three or four thousand Mongolian soldiers, who stayed behind to deal with the "loyal and brave army" on the city tower, and the remaining eight or nine thousand Mongolian iron horsemen were all engaged in the duel with Wanyan Chen.

Directly flanked from both sides, the number of the Mongol army was already more than twice that of Monk Wanyan Chen.

"Vice General Chen, can we go out of the city to help General Wanyan?"

The commander on the tower of the North Gate was Wan Yankang's lieutenant.

Seeing that Monk Chen was gradually in trouble, Vice General Chen also wanted to open the door to help.

However, the Mongol army did not completely withdraw, and there were still three or four thousand men, constantly firing arrows at the city.

Looking at his own command, there are only more than 7,000 people who can really fight, even if they want to go out of the city, how many people can they take out?

Three or five thousand people went out, and they may not be the opponents of the three or four thousand Mongolian troops in front of them.

"Shoot these Mongolian miscellaneous pieces with arrows, no one is allowed to leave the city, I'll go and report to the prince——"

Vice General Chen issued an order, but he didn't dare to be completely sure about the big stakes, so he went down directly to the city tower and went to King Zhao's mansion to report on his horse.

"What? General Wanyan is he still alive? ——”

Hearing Vice General Chen's announcement, Wan Yankang was very excited, but when he heard the battle outside the city, he was a little helpless.

"Lord Wang, judging from the last general, we should go out to meet General Wanyan, but we didn't go out from the north gate."

"The last general saw that Timur personally led thousands of people to the north gate, so the Mongol army at the south gate must be weak."

"General Wanyan can still support it, why don't we secretly open the south city gate and gather enough 10,000 cavalry troops to destroy the Mongolian army outside the south city gate first."

I have to say that Vice Admiral Chen's idea has great operability.

Originally, the Mongol army at the South Gate was less than 14,000 people, and after attacking for a long time, it lost some, and Timuge even took away 8,000 iron cavalry, and now it is good to have 5,000 Mongol troops outside the South Gate.

If 10,000 "loyal soldiers" suddenly kill in the city, they may not be able to win in one battle.

"In this way, you will send 4,000 men and horses from the north gate, and the remaining half will continue to defend the city, while at the south gate, you can leave only 1,000 people on the city tower, and the rest of the 'loyal soldiers' will all be taken out."

Wan Yankang also let it go, so that he could make up 12,000 people for Vice General Chen, and take the 5,000 Mongolian troops outside the city by surprise, and the chances of victory were greater.

The plan has been decided, and Vice General Chen will go down to prepare.

Outside the north city gate, the heavy cavalry of Monk Wanyan Chen, with the defensive power of armor, was in a stalemate with more than twice the Mongolian army.

Soon, the south gate was opened from the inside.

The Mongol army was really defenseless, and even more than a thousand people had abandoned their horses and were on foot or on the way to the city.

These more than 1,000 people were directly trampled into pulp by the 12,000 "loyal soldiers" who left the city.

"Quick, go and tell Timur Khan that the 'loyal army' in the city is out of the city-"

Seeing the southern city gate wide open, Timuge's lieutenant felt a little bad.

As soon as the herald was dispatched, he found that the more than 1,000 Mongolian warriors who were charging at the forefront had turned into ghosts under the sword of the "loyal army".

"Mongol warriors, these shrunken turtles are finally willing to leave the city, and they will go up with Ben and kill them all-"

I have to say that the bones of the Mongolian soldiers in this era are indeed full of a spirit of not being afraid of the sky and the earth.

Seeing that there were only about 4,000 people left on his side, he actually dared to make a counter-charge against the cavalry of more than 10,000 enemies!

Soon, the two lieutenants fought together, and the 12,000 "loyal soldiers" began to fight against the 4,000 Mongol troops.

The south gate and the north gate are the same as more and less, but on one side is the Mongol 16,700 iron cavalry, which is hard to shake the 8,000 heavy cavalry of the monk Yan Chen.

On one side, there were 12,000 "loyal and brave troops", fighting desperately with 4,000 Mongolian troops with absolute superiority.

In the sky, I don't know when a light snow fell.

This is the first snow in Western summer this winter, but I didn't expect it to come under this situation.

Maybe God can't see the tragedy in the world, trying to use this white snowflake to cover up this sky-high anger.

"Newspaper - report to Meng Dutong, the north and south gates of Kangcheng, the Mongolian army and the people of Wanyan Kang have fallen into a decisive battle of life and death."

"At the South City Gate, the situation of the Mongolian army is critical, and the subordinates only see about 3,000 Mongolian troops, fighting against more than 10,000 'loyal and brave troops'."

"At the North City Gate, the Mongolian army completely divided the 'loyal and filial piety army' of Monk Wanyan Chen, but the two sides were still difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat for a while, and the Mongols had a slight advantage."

"Meng Dutong, hurry up and send troops, I'm afraid the brothers won't be able to hold it any later-"

This person was the messenger sent by Wanyan Kang to Yinzhou City, and he met the Meng Gong of the "Dunwu Army" as he wished, and it didn't take much effort to get the Meng Gong to lead the army to the battle.

What he didn't know was that Meng Gong had received Guo Mo's military order a day earlier.

"Hoe the strong and help the weak, maintain balance—"

This is Guo Mo's military order to the Meng Gong.

It's a pity that Meng Gong saw that these eight words were from the hands of the prince and master Zhao Rushu.
