Chapter 637: Another Night Attack

Time: In the first year of Jingding, on the second day of the third month, that is, on the eighth day after Meng Ge arrived at the city of Xiangyang and launched an attack, it was an ugly moment in the early morning.

Location: Inside the south gate of Xiangyang City.

Slowly turning his head, he looked at the five team members in front of him, including Yu Hanfeng, the singer, the concubine, Huang Yizhi, and Ah Li; Guo Jing, Yeluqi, and Zhu Ziliu led more than 200 masters of the rivers and lakes.

There are also the night camps under the Xuange camp, and there are still one hundred and eighty-one people who have survived.

After looking at the faces of the above 400 people one by one, Hu Biao picked up an earthen bowl in his hand, lowered his voice and said to everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, whether Xiangyang City can be defended depends on whether your actions today are successful.

For the survival of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang City, and for the tens of millions of people in the Great Song Dynasty not to fall into the iron hooves of the Mongolian Tartars, Hu is here to give you a bowl. ”

After saying that, Hu Biao drank all the wine in the bowl.

After the others saw this, they also drank the meal in one gulp, and they didn't know whether it could be described as Zhuangxing wine or severed head wine.

The expression on his face is called an indescribable free and easy.

The only pity is that for the secrecy of tonight's operation, it was not early to alarm the Mongolian sentinels outside the city, so that the success fell short.

They gently put down the dry earthen bowl in their hands, and did not smash it to pieces on the ground in a burst of 'clang~' as before.

Shengsheng made this Zhuangxing wine lose a lot of momentum.

The reason why there is such a scene in front of him, Hu Biao has no choice.

In the previous week's fighting, the development of the follow-up battle was not much different from Hu Biao's first prediction.

Every night, the loud beating of 'jingling~' in the camp of the Mongolian people can be heard even in the city.

The movement of these sounds was actually produced by the many craftsmen accompanying the army on the Mongolian side, who were rushing to make siege equipment such as return cannons and ballistas overnight.

So, except for one day of heavy rain, the two sides ceased fighting for a day.

Every morning at other times, the Mongolian side would go to work on time and punctuality, bringing with them about 20 return cannons and 50 or 60 ballistas that had been rushed overnight.

After arriving at the castle, they began to attack in unison.

The process of their attack will continue until all the return cannons are destroyed by the eight bull crossbows at the head of the city, and then the temporary end of this will be over.

Although such an offensive and defensive battle, every time it will end with the victory of the defenders of Xiangyang City.

But after seven consecutive days of fighting, Hu Biao and the others already felt a huge pressure.

This pressure is not only in terms of casualties, but also in the casualties of more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, most of whom are Song soldiers.

What's more critical is that Hu Biao and they also inquired clearly.

The commanders of the Hui artillery on the Mongolian side were none other than the historical Ah Lao Wading and Yi Si Ma Yin.

It is precisely because of the command of the two that the accuracy of those return cannons is excellent; After being smashed by them for so many days in a row, there were some walls that had been hit many times, and after careful inspection, there were already some faint cracks.

In a moment, these very small cracks did not cause the complete collapse of the wall.

But if you are bombarded for another four or five days, it is a little hard to say.

In response to such a great crisis, the people of the city will naturally not do nothing; Even Guo Jing, Zhu Ziliu and other masters even ventured out of the city once.

In order to kill Ava Laodin and Ismain, the two Semu.

As long as the two of them die, although the Mongols can still rush back the cannon every night, they will immediately drop seriously on the target, and the threat will immediately be reduced by a few points.

It's just that Guo Jing and others jumped off the city wall at that time.

Ava Laoddin and Yi Si Ma Yin, in the first time, rode their war horses, and under the escort of dozens of personal guards, they fled back towards the Chinese army.

At the same time, a large number of elite cavalry rushed up from a little later position, while firing their bows and arrows.

One by one, the masters hidden in the attacking infantry army also appeared and killed one after another.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Biao hurriedly sounded the golden drum on behalf of the retreat, so that Guo Jing and the others immediately retreated, giving up the plan to hunt down and kill Ah Lao Wading and Yi Si Ma Yin.

so as not to let Guo Jing and others be served by the Mengren.

But just like that, there are still seventy or eighty beggars and masters on the rivers and lakes, who have not succeeded in escaping back to the city.

In the end, in desperation, Hu Biao and the others could only rely on such an active means to achieve the goal of killing Awa Laoding and Yismayin, as well as their subordinates.

To be more specific, it is that the soldiers are divided into two ways.

Guo Jing and Yeluqi took more than 200 masters of the rivers and lakes to assassinate Nameng Ge Khan; However, this way is just a means to attract the attention of the other party.

Once the situation is not good, it is immediately withdrawn to Xiangyang City.

Möngke Khan was heavily guarded, and he didn't think he would be able to get it easily.

After all, the wind direction has been wrong recently, and Hu Biao and they are making gliders, a kind of unpowered flying tool, and there is no way to fly against the wind.

Therefore, the five people led by Yu Hanfeng, the singer, the concubine, Huang Yizhi, and Ah Li, who did not close the camp at night, were the real main action troops tonight.

After taking over such a task, these people basically have a posture of going and not returning......

******

There are only a few thin stars in the night sky tonight, and under the dark night, it is the perfect weather for a sneak attack.

What's more, Ah Li, a girl, got the night vision ability in the last mission, and with her Haidong Qing Xiaobai, she has a feeling of being empowered by a tiger.

With Ah Li taking the lead, Xiaobai, who was flying in the sky, had to be warned in advance.

A group of more than 400 people sneaked out of the city from the relatively lax southern city wall.

Along the way, Guo Jing was reminded by Ah Li, but he touched out three secret posts in advance, and the other sentry posts and patrols were all easily avoided.

It took more than an hour for everyone to successfully make a big circle and come to the camp of the Mongolian army.

At this time, the time is already in the middle of the night at three o'clock, which is the time when the human body is most sleepy.

Although there were a number of sentinels in the large camp, and a few patrols passing by from time to time; But they were the most mentally lax, and they didn't even notice the arrival of the crowd.

What's even more wonderful is that Xu is to facilitate the entry and exit of large quantities of wood.

There is also a siege time, which can reduce the starting distance by some of the distance.

In short, the camp that made the return cannon and a siege machine happened to be on the leftmost part of the camp.

At such a time, there are still a large number of torches and bonfires rising inside, shining everything brightly.

Relying on such bright firelight, Yu Hanfeng and the others could clearly see that at least thousands of them were constantly busy.

Two of them were carrying a number of people behind them, wielding whips in their hands, and constantly yelling and whipping at the craftsmen.

At a glance, you can see that it is their target this time, that is, Awa Laoddin and Yismain.

In addition, there are more than 1,000 people who are building around the camp, but most of them are now sitting by the fire or chatting.

Either in twos and threes, I don't know what vulgar jokes to make.

On one side, in a large clearing, all kinds of large and small timber piles were piled up like a mountain.

Saying! In order to build siege equipment, the Mongolian side cut down almost all the forests within a radius of dozens of miles.

But that's a good thing, because it only takes a fire to light them.

The Mongolian people just want to continue to build siege equipment, and the source of wood alone will be affected considerably.

Seeing that everything was going so well, the five people who led the team, Yu Hanfeng, the singer, the concubine, Huang Yizhi, and Ah Li, made a gesture with Guo Jing.

Guo Jing immediately nodded in understanding, and with Yeluqi and more than 200 masters, he touched the other side of the camp.

Yu Hanfeng and the others continued to wait in place.

They did not wait long for this; About half an hour later, a loud howl rang out for miles.

Guo Jing had already smashed through the wooden fence of the camp and led Yeluqi and others into a large camp......
