Chapter 646: The Development of the War (2)

After an eight-day truce between the two sides, the battle that began again on the tenth day of the first month was extremely fierce.

It was as if he wanted to bring out all the strength that had just recovered and accumulated in the previous period of time in today's battle.

Such a great battle, which can be said to make the sun and the moon dull, began at seven o'clock in the morning.

But it lasted until the sky was about to darken, and the Mongolian side blew the horn to withdraw the troops.

Throughout the long battle, under the orders of Meng Ge and Kublai Khan, one after another Han troops from the North, the Semu people, and even the 10,000 troops of the newly annexed army continued to fill the battlefield.

After suffering considerable casualties and demoralizing to the extreme, he retired to rest.

Because between such intensive attacks, there is basically no truce gap.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, there were even some cavalry troops of the Mongolian headquarters, and after dismounting, they began to climb the city wall along the slippery and bloodstained ladder.

It's just that no matter how frantically they attacked, the soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang City still fought to the death.

In battles in which both sides suffered heavy casualties, when there were not enough men on the walls.

One after another, women appeared on the city wall, and they picked up the bloodstained bricks and stones, and smashed them down under the wall.

It inflicted a staggering damage on the Mongol attackers.

However, in this battle to defend the city, it can be said that the most critical role was the firefighting team composed of a group of heroes in the Xuange camp.

On the long four walls of Xiangyang City, no matter which area was broken through by the Mongols; How many opponents have managed to climb the walls and establish a temporary stronghold.

At this critical moment, those fire brigades in the Xuange camp will always appear in time.

Don't look at the kind of Mo knife hand in front, melee in the back, and gunman in the back, such a formation and style of play that is not innovative at all.

But the effect is really strong, those Mongolian people who have worked hard to climb the city wall, if they don't want to be nailed to death by Mo knife and throwing guns.

In the end, it was inevitable that he would retreat from the city wall in a hurry.

Even a number of attackers, facing those blood-red Mo swordsmen who were like killing gods, would rather jump off the high city walls.

At the risk of falling to death and being crippled, he refused to face those fatal iron cans.

But even in such a way of attacking the city with ants, it is obviously impossible to take Xiangyang.

The generals of all ethnic groups on the Mongolian side still launched attacks again and again under the strict orders of Kublai Khan and MΓΆngke, as well as the drive of the warlords.

The reason for them to do this is easy to say.

They needed to do this in a way that bought some more time for those return cannon fires so that enough corpses could be thrown into the city.

But what they didn't know was the corpses they threw into the city.

In the first time, he was pulled to a certain place in the city by a person wearing a thick mask and gloves, and a fire was directly burned clean.

I also took the lime powder in place and sprinkled it back and forth again and again.

In addition to sprinkling lime, this is a simple and effective means of sanitizing.

By sunset, after a long day of fighting was over; There are also a large number of women in white coats, who preach the practice of washing hands frequently, maintaining personal hygiene, and not drinking raw water.

In the unlikely event that anyone is found to be symptomatic, I and some of my close contacts will be quarantined immediately.

In the end, Mr. Nanzawa and a group of women under him were treated with the corresponding drugs and so on.

Plainly! According to scientific science, the Mongolian people's method of throwing corpses is nothing more than the germs released from the corpses, which pollute the air and water sources, and will lead to large-scale infection.

And after encountering the above modern methods, the above contagion is really not a big deal......

The next day, March 11, late at night.

When the sound of a watchman faintly sounded in his ears, 'The weather is dry, be careful of the fire candle, the time is a moment~'.

After glancing at the position above his head, the moon that was completely obscured by dark clouds, the big fish who was in charge of the night vigil tonight pinched his fingers and faced Li San, who was keeping vigil with him.

In his mouth, he whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Li San, you said that at 0:00 on the 15th, it will be the deadline for our mission; Even if it is full, there are only three days and three nights left.

There are still several tasks, and there is no movement at all.

You said it's only three days, is it too late? ”

After hearing such a sentence, Li San instinctively wanted to comfort Da Yu, this one joined the team at the same time as himself, and he usually had an excellent relationship with his teammates.

I organized the language a little, and I was so relieved:

"What to panic about, it must be too late, because the system cannot have a task that cannot be completed; So don't see it now, Huang Rong and the others haven't come back yet.

But maybe in the next second, Huang Rong and them will appear outside the city.

They are crossing the Mongol camp, and are waiting for us to come to our aid.

And when Huang Rong and the others came back, it meant that Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu were also about to arrive, and then the scene of saving Guo Xiang must be about to appear. ”

In response to Li San's statement, the reaction given by Big Fish was:

"Dude, go back and send me the number of the next two-color ball, I'm not short of that little money, mainly because I want to be able to do that once in my lifetime."

"Special! This thing God of Wealth is here, and there is no way to hit it. After hearing this, Li San immediately complained.

The reason why the two had such a reaction was that Li San's mouth seemed to be opened.

The passage that came out of his mouth before was the sound of the fall, and there was a small battle movement in the direction of the Mengda camp, which was not too big, but was definitely happening, and the movement was getting bigger and bigger.

Except that when Huang Rong and others passed through the camp, they were discovered by those Mongolian patrols.

As a result, in addition to the current small-scale battle movement, the two of them really couldn't think of other possibilities for a while.

So they couldn't help but ridicule each other so much in their mouths.

Of course, they also knew that business was important, and after a few seconds of teasing, the big fish ran quickly to the other side of the wall.

In the recent period, Hu Biao, Yang Dongli and others who have been sleeping under the city wall with the people of the Xuange camp together.

shouted loudly: "Lao Hu, Lao Hu, wake up quickly, Huang Yaoshi and they are here." ”

Even in the first second, Hu Biao's mouth still made a loud snoring sound; But in the next second, the whole person bounced off the ground.

Facing the AT, Yang Dongli and others around him, he just pushed it desperately.

In this way, everyone who had already prepared for the battle completed the assembly after two minutes, secretly went out of the city from the north gate, and touched the camp behind the camp where the corpses of the concubine and others were.

In their plan, they first sneaked into that camp and destroyed the ballistas that were the biggest threat to the Modaomen.

After destroying these, he calmly rescued people, and then took Huang Rong and others into the city.

Don't talk about it! God is very face-saving tonight, even if there is a moon that is also covered by dark clouds, so that their actions have a natural good concealment.

It was also Hu Biao and them, such a person who went out of the city to snatch the corpse and respond to the plan, so that peerless masters such as Huang Yaoshi, Master Yideng, and Zhou Botongde, as well as related personnel, did not die in vain in the camp of the Mongolian people.

By the way, it also made that pretty Huang Rong feel too shocked......

******

"It's only been less than a month, why has the defense in the Mongolian camp become so strict, and there are so many masters of the rivers and lakes?

Tonight is not good, and I am waiting for the father and daughter, and the rest of you to be trapped here.

I don't know how sad Brother Jing will be in his heart after I die in the war, and who will take care of him and Polu, Fu'er, and Xiang'er in the future~"

The above is the truest thought in Huang Rong's heart full of bitterness.

It is said that on the seventh day of the third lunar month, Huang Yaoshi, Zhou Botong, Master Yideng, Huang Rong, Yinggu, Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang and other seven people.

In the case of saving Guo Xiang and Yang Guo, both of whom were fruitless, they had to decide to return to Xiangyang City first and plan carefully before speaking.

As a result, they left the Valley of Despair and came to a lively market.

It was from the ears of some well-informed merchants that they heard that the Great Khan of Mengke, the Great Khan of the Meng, had already come to the city of Xiangyang with a large army and joined forces with the Kublai Khan.

After the two armies were combined, there were more than 300,000 troops, and the external army was called 700,000.

Now such a huge army has surrounded the city of Xiangyang, and not even a fly can fly in.

If it weren't for the fact that a few days ago, the heroes with the Xuange camp were killed at a critical moment, and they helped defend the city during these days, it would have been impossible for Xiangyang City to completely fall, such a string of bad news.

Worried about her husband, eldest daughter, and eldest son-in-law in the city, Huang Rong was naturally anxious and didn't dare to delay in the slightest.

After rushing day and night, he finally arrived outside the city in the evening of this day.

But the great camp of the Mongols will enter the city on all the roads, and it will be impervious to the wind and rain.

I had to forcibly suppress my anxious mood, and when it was almost midnight, I thought that at this moment, the guards of the Mongolian camp had been relaxed, just so that it was convenient for them to sneak through.

What they didn't expect was that they were wearing the second Mongolian camp.

was discovered by a martial arts master who acted as a secret sentinel, and after that person made a warning, a large number of patrols immediately killed him.

Huang Rong and the others wanted to enter the city as soon as possible, so they naturally didn't want to entangle with these people.

Seeing a large number of Mongolian people surrounding and killing, his mouth immediately turned to the people around him, and he shouted: "Everyone can't fight, it's right to kill as soon as possible~"

Under such a sentence, Zhou Botong, Huang Yaoshi, and Master Yideng already had a tacit understanding after glancing at each other.

Just a movement of his body, he had already crashed into a team of ten people who were blind.

Or a palm, or a punch, or a point.

It was just a blink of an eye, and this one was led by a ten-captain who rushed up with a shouting that the ten-man team was put to the ground.

The three of them are all today's top masters, and facing them is not as simple as killing chickens.

While putting down the opponent, Zhou Botong grabbed two spears in his hand.

With the famous technique of 'fighting left and right', no matter whether you meet an ordinary soldier or a master on the Mongolian side, you will always put down one after the two guns are stabbed separately, and there is never a need to have a second shot.

Master Yideng and Huang Yaoshi grabbed a shield in their hands.

can be regarded as protecting Zhou Botong's left and right, as long as there are Mongolian people who plan to come up and fight, they can be put down with the same move.

It is equivalent to three top masters in the world, forming a battle formation like a sword array, or the one that is extremely sharp; It was against a large number of Mongolian people who were attacking, and quickly advanced all the way.

And Huang Rong, Yinggu, Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang and other four daughters followed behind.

About three to five minutes later, a group of seven people had penetrated three camps in a row while fighting and walking.

It's just that at this time, the strong feeling of unhappiness and bitterness in Huang Rong's heart has reached an astonishing point.

Even in the current environment of the barracks, those Mongolians were worried that they would hurt their own people by firing arrows, so they never released arrows.

Otherwise, when it comes to an open place, under the fire of thousands of arrows from those people, how many peerless masters such as Huang Yaoshi can stop even if they have three heads and six arms?

However, tonight's situation is really quite evil.

Not only did there be a large number of elite Mongolian soldiers, who surrounded them from all directions, often dozens of spears and broadswords, and stabbed them all at this side.

Even under the palm of Huang Yaoshi and others, the wooden handles of these spears and knives were broken one after another, and the personnel were killed and wounded.

But in such an unreserved way of fighting, the internal force in everyone's body is also consumed extremely quickly; If you think about it, it will take about half an hour, and even Zhou Botong and others will have to do their best.

It was also at this time that Zhou Botong suddenly shouted with a smile in his mouth:

"Huang Laoxi, today we are afraid that our three old lives will be cut off here; But you have to find a way to save these four female dolls. ”

Hearing that Zhou Botong, who is not afraid of the sky and the earth on weekdays, and never says anything gloomy, after falling into a siege today, he actually thought that his old life would be sent here.

Huang Rong's emotions in her heart suddenly became more and more anxious.

Fortunately, after entering the next camp, I saw that there were many big black tents on the left-hand side, and a glimmer of hope suddenly rose.

Because when she and Guo Jing followed the Mongolian army to the west, they knew that such a black tent was where the Mongolian people hoarded grain and grass.

If they can light a fire, they will definitely cause chaos among the Mongol army, thus giving them a chance to escape.

Thinking of this, Huang Rong immediately went to do it.

As a result, he snatched a torch from the hand of a small soldier and was about to rush over, lighting seven or eight fireheads at high and low.

But from the other side, there were at least 300 people with spears in their hands, or Mongolian people with bows and arrows outstretched, lined up in front of those black tents.

Huang Rong knew in her heart that there was no way to ignite these black tents; There is no way to create chaos and escape.

So in my heart, I sighed the opening sentence......

It was also when Huang Rong and others thought that they would die tonight, and their hearts were full of bitter and unwilling emotions, and suddenly a huge shock occurred.

When Huang Rong, who knew how to speak to people, faintly heard many people, shouting something in their mouths, 'It's not good, the Xuange camp has been killed'.

The Mongolian army surrounding the seven of them was inexplicably panicked.

Although they did not retreat immediately, they all turned back from time to time during the battle and looked in the direction of the Xiangyang City.

In a panic, the original ten percent combat effectiveness is now only two or three percent.

Taking advantage of such an opportunity, Huang Rong hurriedly beckoned the others to kill those black tents, and lit more than a dozen fires in a row.

Later, I saw a stable not far away.

Needless to say, the seven men killed again, and a fire set the stables on fire, causing hundreds of the horses to rush out.

After they rode on the war horse, they followed the war horse and rushed to several camps in a row, and finally saw a battle formation of about 2,000 people.

Although there are not many people in the battle array, while advancing like a wall, it is as easy to kill the Mongolian people as cutting melons and vegetables.

So much so that a group of Mongolian people surrounded the side, although they kept firing bows and arrows, but there were only a few people who actually dared to come forward to fight.

Seeing that the seven people drove their horses to rush over, the battle formation 'shy~' suddenly made way of a passage.

Let the few people who were almost exhausted successfully escape into the phalanx.

In the following time, the front team of the battle formation was immediately changed to the rear team, and they killed back in the direction of Xiangyang City; In such a process, Huang Rong experienced a dreamlike scene.

Because in such a battle formation, the outermost Mo knife hand, under the constant rotation.

It was actually under the siege of the Mongolian army that he cut a way back to Xiangyang City.

When they arrived at a distance of one or two miles outside the city, they did not dare to come forward to chase after them in the face of a broken team of no more than 800 people, so they watched them enter the city......

After returning to the city, when she saw her husband Guo Jing, Huang Rong felt a little lost in the world; For the life-saving grace of the Xuange camp, I am naturally quite grateful.

But Huang Rong is Huang Rong after all, and the most important thing is always her family.

After hearing that his brother Jing actually regarded Hu Biao as the leader of the alliance and handed over the actual command of the defense of Xiangyang City, he didn't care much in his heart.

Over the years, she has assisted Guo Jing to guard Xiangyang, and only she knows the suffering, knowing that this is not a good thing at all, but a huge responsibility.

It's just that Hu Biao seems to be robbing his son-in-law Yeluqi of the position of the helper, and he can't help but feel a little unhappy.

But if you want to say that the thing that bothers her the most, is her eldest daughter Guo Fu, who is like her own embroidered pillow, she is actually more beautiful in a short period of time, so that she can't believe it.

In private, the mother and daughter just talked about a small meeting.

All the reasons were easily set out by Huang Rong.

After hearing that this unlucky daughter actually used a lot of unique kung fu on Peach Blossom Island, and even the 'soft hedgehog armor' in exchange for some skin care and beauty things, Huang Rong's mood was very complicated.

If it was just some of the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island, such as 'Jade Xiao Sword Technique' and 'Luoying Divine Sword Palm', she would have made a mask, and she would faintly feel that she was not at a loss.

The key is that the life-saving treasure of the 'soft hedgehog armor' was replaced by the concubine.

For a while, she was a little unhappy about these people in the Xuange camp, thinking that these people were too utilitarian and treacherous.

Their life-saving grace will naturally be repaid, but they will also need to have one more heart in the future.

But at such a time, a maid in the house knocked on the door and entered the door with a package in her hand, and said: "Madam, this is Hu Daxia who just came to the door and asked me to hand it over to you, saying that the original will be returned after use." ”

After Huang Rong opened it, she found that it was actually a 'soft hedgehog armor' with some blood stains.

Seeing this, Huang Rong knew that she was still a villain in vain......
