Xu was to put more pressure on the defenders of Xiangyang City before the war, so as to achieve the goal of surrendering the soldiers without a fight.

Before the Mongols officially launched their attack, almost their entire army poured out of the camp, lining up one large formation after another outside the city.

For a while, he stood casually on the city wall of Xiangyang, and after casually looking outside, it seemed that his eyes were full of Mongolian soldiers and horses.

The pressure on the defenders can be said to be extremely terrifying.

Under such circumstances, a total of three horsemen galloped out of the Mongolian great array and galloped straight under the northern city wall.

Naturally, it is impossible for the three horsemen to be used to attack the city, and it is thought that it will be the envoy of the Mongolian people.

Because I wanted to hear what these Mongolians had to say before the war, the snipers and archers in the city, such as Lao Hei and War Elephant, gave up their plans to fire and shoot arrows.

Let these three horsemen have been very safe, and have come to a position thirty or forty paces below the city.

Then one of the Mongolian people, who took the lead, shouted at the top of his voice:

"Guo Jing, Guo Juma, my family Meng Ge Khan said, he has heard the name of 'Golden Knife Horse' since he was a child, and he has always admired you in his heart.

Now the Southern Song Dynasty court is mediocre, and the land south of the Yangtze River is destined to fall into the hands of my Mongolian people under Wen Tian and Wu Huan.

Rather than fall with such a court, Guo Yuma should surrender to us as soon as possible.

Meng Ge Khan is willing to swear to Changshengtian that as long as Guo Ju Ma can surrender to us, then he will be crowned a hereditary king with a different surname, and the Guo family will be in charge of the north and south roads of Jinghu forever. ”

After hearing such a statement, the city wall, which was still a little loud, immediately became a dead silence.

In addition to a group of netizens, there are also a small number of personnel, I don't know how many soldiers and civilians defending the city, even the brothers Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan.

They instinctively held their breath and looked at Guo Jing.

I hope to see how this golden knife colt plans to reply.

It's not that they don't believe in Guo Daxia's personality, but in the words of a modern plane: That Meng Ge Khan gave too much.

Under the eyes of so many people, Guo Jing stood on a wall buttress without hesitation, and gave his own answer.

didn't shout hoarsely at the top of his voice, but the sonorous and powerful answer in his mouth had been clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone in a circle of more than ten miles above the battlefield:

"Go and tell the Khan of Möngke that the Golden Sword and the Horse and the surrender will be mentioned in the future.

Guo is not talented, but as a Song person, he has never surrendered to the alien race and helped him to abuse, and did something to help you conquer my Great Song Dynasty; Here, I also swear to the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth that I will guard Xiangyang City in this life and never die~"

The Mongolian envoys under the city saw that the words had come to such a point, and there was no such thing as continuing to entangle.

On horseback, he was very respectful to Guo Jing, holding his right fist on his shoulder, and holding his right thigh with his left hand, after performing such a courtesy to the noble.

The three of them just turned their horses' heads and galloped towards their own coach Da Xu.

There is no doubt that after they return Guo Jing's words to that one Möngke Khan, it will be the beginning of the great war......

"Special! Meng Ge, a blind grandson, who does this look down on? ”

In Hu Biao's heart, he silently scolded such a sentence.

The main reason is because in the words of the Mengren envoy just now, there is no persuasion to surrender to him, Hu Daxia, and the meaning of Xuan Geying.

When he left, he also left them behind when he saluted, didn't he look down on people?

Indeed, even if Möngke Khan used high-ranking officials to persuade them to surrender, they would still not agree.

But it's one thing for them not to agree, and if they don't ask like this, that's another way, and they look down on them a little.

Just when this thing was very indignant in his heart, Guo Jing's familiar voice came from his ears:

"Hu Daxia, on the way to the art of war, Guo asked himself if he was never your opponent.

Therefore, for the safety of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang City, as well as the tens of millions of people in my Great Song Dynasty; Even if you are indifferent to fame and fortune, you don't want to be the leader of this martial arts alliance.

But how about you be asked to command the next battle? It's Guo who is here to beg Hu Daxia for you. ”

Hu Biao turned his head to look, and immediately saw Guo Jing with a solemn face, saying the above paragraph; At the same time, Guo Jing was about to kneel to the ground under his fists with both hands.

And behind Guo Jing, Lu Youjiao, Yeluqi, Zhu Ziliu, Gengyu Yuqiao and other masters.

Even Guo Fu, a woman who has recently learned some modern plane maintenance and makeup, seems to have become a little more enlightened all of a sudden.

followed Guo Jing in unison, and shouted out a sentence in his mouth, 'Please, Hu Daxia, while you, you must also bow down.'

The soldiers and civilians who were a little farther away seemed to be going to make the same move after being stunned for a while.

The reason why such a scene occurred was seven or eight days ago.

Guo Jing and Nalu came to the door with their brothers-in-law, and said that they wanted to promote Hu Biao as the leader of the alliance, and by the way, they also served as the leader of the beggar gang and led them to fight against the Mongolian people.

Based on the reason that he was going to return to the modern plane in less than a month, Hu Biao categorically refused such a request at that time.

I never thought that at this moment, Guo Jing put forward such a statement again, and still brought so many people to ask together.

But when you think about it, it seems to be a reasonable thing; Such an earth-shattering battle is about to begin, and they really have no confidence in their hearts.

And Hu Biao and Hu Daxia, who have created miracles many times and are like gods in the art of war, have become one of their greatest hopes.

Saying! No matter how thick-skinned Hu Biao is, he can't do what Guo Jing and so many people worshipped.

At the moment when Guo Jing was about to bow down, Hu Biao instinctively held Guo Jing's wrists with both hands, intending to support Guo Jing's kneeling body with force.

Then, it was extremely embarrassing to hit the street.

Because he found that under his full strength, Guo Jing's body and process of kneeling down were not even slightly delayed.

What's even more heartbreaking is that Guo Jing doesn't seem to have any effort at all.

The gap in strength between the two was extremely clear at this moment, and it could only be said that it was an astonishing extent.

In desperation, he could only open his mouth and agree: "Okay, I'll agree to this matter first, Guo Daxia and you should hurry up." ”

Seeing that Hu Biao finally agreed, Guo Jing and the others instinctively breathed a sigh of relief......

******

After taking over the actual command of Xiangyang City and the heavy responsibility, Hu Biao instinctively took a deep breath.

It was to the sound of trumpets and war drums that the Mongol attack began.

In addition, judging from the banners passed on on the other city walls, the Mongols relied on a huge number of troops to launch an attack on all sides at the same time.

Even if the strength of the Mongols under the other walls is far less than that under the northern walls, it is still several times the strength advantage for the defenders.

Therefore, Hu Biao paused for a second or two, and a string of orders in his mouth was issued:

"Lao Yang, you go to the east city wall, Feng Rui, you go to the west city wall, and Lao Snake you go to the south city wall; No matter how difficult it is, the Mongols must not be allowed to break the city. ”

"Don't worry, even if the people are gone, the city wall is guaranteed to be there."

After the three of them replied in unison, they each took a token handed over by Guo Jing and galloped towards the other city walls.

Then, under the lens of the telescope, I saw the 20,000 Han infantry troops slowly advancing towards the city wall.

Under the cover of holding a large wooden shield in his hand, a large number of carriages and siege equipment appeared in the ranks; After seeing these things from afar, a group of netizens on the city wall naturally did not dare to be careless.

Hu Biao looked over there with a telescope for the first time, and waited until he roughly saw what it should be.

Immediately, when his mouth was very anxious, he shouted a new order:

"Martial arts, it's up to you next, you must suppress those things~"

Because Hu Biao saw clearly the things loaded on the carriage, both long and short, which should be the components of some return guns, as well as some large round stones that had been polished in advance.

As long as they are pulled to the bottom of the city, these components can be quickly assembled like splicing building blocks, and it doesn't take long to quickly assemble them one by one.

If it was just that, Hu Biao and the others would not be so nervous.

Because they failed to kill those people in the last battle to enter the city, they expected such a situation.

Therefore, as early as more than half a month ago, Wu Shu, a member of the team's equipment team, was not idle at all.

Even the blacksmiths who instructed Xiangyang City on how to build the standard equipment of the Xuange Battalion were handed over to Fu Dazi and others.

I went to do a more important thing, which was to use some steel materials in key parts, which were lighter and stronger.

With the addition of some pulley sets, winches, and mechanical sights, it is easier and faster to reload the eight-bull crossbow.

One of the things he did was to deal with the Mongolian people's return artillery.

You know, they have such an improved eight-bull crossbow, and the maximum range can reach an astonishing 1650 meters; In terms of rate of fire, it is almost a minute and a half and a half of a shot.

Therefore, such an improved eight-bull crossbow with a range of more than three miles can be destroyed one by one outside the range of the return cannon.

The only regret is that in order to achieve such a point, the requirements for the accuracy of the eight-bull crossbow operator are relatively high.

After all, only by hitting the main structure of the return cannon can this kind of counterweight trebuchet be damaged; It is a skill that a group of operators composed of temporarily transferred Song Jun do not have.

However, at that time, Hu Biao and the others thought that the problem was not big, because they used the materials they brought in, and they had processed a total of sixty improved eight-bull crossbows.

Just here at the north gate of Xiangyang City, a total of thirty bodies have been arranged in advance.

One or two ballistas can't knock out a return gun, so just a few more shots; This thing is not something that anyone is born with, shooting, shooting is skilled and accurate.

What I never thought was that when the Mongolian side attacked this time, there were not only many expected return cannons in the siege equipment in the team.

In addition, there are a staggering number of ballistas, ladders, etc.

In this way, it will be difficult to suppress them with thirty improved eight-ox crossbows, as well as the original eight twin-bed crossbows at the head of the city.

In fact, there was such an unexpected situation, or because the history of the flower growers was 5,000 years old, which was too rich in comparison.

Although Hu Biao and others are in the modern plane, as long as they have time, they will work hard to supplement relevant knowledge.

But because there are too many things that need to be remedied, I still missed such a point:

The Mongolian Huihui artillery is indeed powerful, but their siege equipment is definitely not limited to the counterweight trebuchet of the Huihui cannon, but also many other equipment.

In fact, in that year, when the Mongols were on the first western expedition, when they attacked the cities of Khorezm and Nishapur.

At that time, a staggering number of ballistas and oil trebuchets were used.

In addition to using trebuchets to throw a large number of corpses into the city in an attempt to cause the plague to run rampant in the city, he also used rudimentary biochemical tactics such as releasing poisonous smoke.

And all of the above would not have appeared here in Xiangyang City originally.

But because of the system and Kublai Khan's efforts, these will be staged one by one in Xiangyang City in this plane.

In the face of Hu Biao's request, because he looked outside the city from a distance, the Mongolian side alone took the carriage as the base, and the number exceeded one hundred and fifty twin frame crossbows.

The soldier was a little numb in his scalp, and immediately made a request in his mouth:

"Support me six more people, and the one who is good at math and good at calculating ballistics; Otherwise, these artillery commanders are all rookies, and their accuracy is too bad. ”

After hearing this, Hu Biao refused without even thinking about it: "Six people? No~"

However, considering the Eight Bull Crossbow troops led by Wu Shu, the current task is too high.

The outcome of a battle involved in it can be said to be related to such an offensive and defensive battle, and who can have the last laugh in the end.

Still gritted his teeth and roared out of his mouth:

"Mu Ping, Ba Long, you two are college students, go and assist the martial arts~"

Hearing such an order, Mu Ping, a rookie, and Barong, a half-rookie, rushed over with different eight-bull crossbows in both directions.

In this way, an artillery battle full of the style of the late Southern Song Dynasty was the first to start......

In a muffled sound of 'dong ~', a Song man with a big shoulder and a round waist hit the trigger of the eight-bull crossbow in front of him with a hammer.

Then, with the violent vibration of a bowstring.

A crossbow arrow with the thickness of an egg and a length of more than three meters suddenly flew out with a 'whoosh~'.

Then, when a large shield made of thick logs was hit, it immediately flew like a wooden stick in the sky.

Under the splash of fine sawdust, several Han soldiers around him covered their faces in pain.

But compared to others, they seem to be relatively lucky.

Because after piercing the big shield, the thick crossbow bolts continued to pierce forward, and they continued to shoot six or seven Han infantry in a row, and then they stopped.

There are even three of them, strung together like sugar gourds.

The death of only six or seven people in battle is nothing in terms of the number of 30,000 Han infantry troops who are currently pressing over.

However, such a miserable death still made the formation of a thousand-person team near this one of the dead in battle obviously appear to have some riots.

So in terms of killing effect, it can be said to be quite good.

The problem is that after seeing such a scene, the 'Sailuban' warriors and martial arts heroes have a look that they want to cover their eyes with their hands and have no eyes to see.

The main reason was that this eight-bull crossbow was about ten paces beside him.

Therefore, he knew very well that the original target of the gun commander was actually a carriage loaded with the return cannon components.

After a guy greeted out, it turned out? At least thirty or forty meters off the target.

And now, the forward troops on the Mongolian side have advanced to about 600 meters below the city; As long as they went two hundred meters further, they would be able to establish a return artillery position under the counterattack of the ballistas.

It can be said that there is not much time left for them to fire easily and not worry about the opponent's counterattack.

It's just that in the process of advancing like this by the Mengren, all the eight-bull crossbows were basically fired three rounds out; But all of them added up, and only destroyed three ballistae and four carriages of the opponent.

Compared with the huge number of siege equipment possessed by the Mongolian side, some of these results can only be described as a drop in the bucket.

Seeing this, the warrior knew that he couldn't continue like this.

What to do? On-site teaching.

Maybe the process is a little more brutal and rough, but that's a bit out of sight.

In a few steps, he came to the side of the trebuchet, and quickly squinted at the improvised mechanical sight they had attached, and glanced out of the city.

Raise a kick, and that is to kick the cannon commander to a stumbling one.

At the same time, he also scolded fiercely in his mouth:

"Immediately adjust it two and a half degrees to the left-hand side, and remember this angle for me; After that, it's going to be so outrageous, I can't kick you to death~"

After scolding, the warrior ran towards another eight-ox crossbow fifty or sixty years away.

This time, he didn't even glance at it, but just glanced at the direction of the thick ballista on the eight-bull crossbow, and at the cannon commander of this one, it was a big force......
