Chapter 225: The Northern Army Mutiny, Xiangyang City Broken (Ask for Subscription)
Just the day before Lu Nianchou arrived in Xiangyang.
Since Zhao Fan was unconscious, the spies of the imperial court also discovered the movement of the Mongol army and immediately sent Li Hu, the commander of Zhenjiang, to support.
When the imperial court discovered that the Mongol army was about to move, it sent this person to Xiangyang to support.
However, after the lord arrived in Xiangyang City, the first thing he did was not to find a way to repel the Mongol army outside the city, but to announce in a very high-profile manner that he would eradicate the northern army.
At this time, Zhao Fan was unconscious, and he wanted to establish his prestige and completely control Xiangyang.
This rude and brainless behavior instantly caused a mutiny in the Northern Army, coupled with the deliberate instigation of the Mongolian spies, and the Northern Army had a camp roar in the left night.
The 8,000 northern troops in the city completely rebelled and set fires everywhere in the city in protest.
The supreme commander of the Northern Army at this time was Wang Min, who connived at the rebellion of the Northern Army while secretly agreeing with the Mongols who contacted him.
When the army attacked the city, take the initiative to open the city gate and help the Mongol army conquer Xiangyang.
So Wang Min pretended to negotiate with Li Hu, temporarily suppressed his northern army, and waited until the Mongol army attacked the city, and then rebelled.
Li Hu had just come to Xiangyang, and he didn't know much about the situation in the city, and the sudden rebellion made him very busy, and when the riots were barely quelled, the sky was already dark.
At this moment, a soldier anxiously came to report, "Lord Dutong, the Mongol army has come to attack the city." β
"What? Who is the enemy commander-in-chief? How many people came? Li Hu's face sank, and he hurriedly asked.
"Lord Hui, look at the banner should be the Mongolian Marshal Ta Chaer." The man hurried back.
"It turned out to be him!" Li Hu's heart tightened.
Tachar is brave and good at fighting, is Genghis Khan's guard, these years nearly a hundred battles, invincible battles, is a famous Mongolian general.
"Let's go, we'll go check it out now."
After just a busy night, and before he could take a break, Li Hu hurriedly rushed towards the city with his own soldiers.
Outside the city of Xiangyang, the flag is like a forest.
Outside the city gathered tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Mongol troops.
Li Hu looked around, and there were dense and endless armored soldiers in front of him.
Elite!
With just one glance, he knew that these Mongol soldiers were all real elite soldiers of a hundred battles, and they were all silent and cold like iron stones, with a cold and murderous aura.
Thousands of elite soldiers gathered together, and that terrifying power suddenly made his face extremely pale, and he felt an incomparably huge sense of oppression.
In the center of the Mongol army, a tall banner came into view, and tens of thousands of cavalry moved with the flag, waiting for an opportunity to move at any time, giving people extremely terrible pressure.
"This is the elite cavalry of the Mongols."
Li Hu gasped, and his scalp was a little numb.
In front of the cavalry gathered in formation, even if it is steel and iron bones, it will be crushed, this is the invincible cavalry of this era, sweeping across the Eurasian continent, invincible, invincible.
At this time, the smoke and dust rose in the north of Xiangyang City, and the Mongol army began to attack from the north, and then before the army, there was a large group of people in rags, holding sticks, without a single blade, nor lined up in formation, and rushed forward in a disorderly manner.
When they arrived at the front of the city, those people shouted: "Don't release arrows in the city, we are all the people of the Great Song Dynasty!" β
"Don't kill me, I'm Han!"
"I'm going home!"
And those elite Mongol soldiers and iron horsemen hid behind the people.
This has been the practice of the Mongols, since Genghis Khan, the Mongol army has always driven the enemy people to attack the city, and as long as the soldiers defending the city are soft, the Mongol soldiers will follow.
This method can not only slaughter the people of the enemy country, but also shake the morale of the enemy's soldiers, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone, brutal and vicious, and often achieve miraculous results.
"Shoot the arrows, give me the arrows immediately!" Li Hu roared hysterically, his eyes red.
If these Han Chinese people were allowed to rush to the city, the Mongol soldiers would inevitably follow closely and kill them, and then there would be a big trouble.
However, he arrived in Xiangyang City for only a few days, the soldiers did not know the generals, the generals did not know the soldiers, and last night there was a rebellion, and the defenders of the city were in turmoil.
When he gave an order, not many people obeyed, and the entire city wall was in chaos, each doing its own thing, and it was chaotic.
Some people fired arrows, some people retreated, and some people stood on the spot......
Those Han people took this opportunity to climb directly up from the cloud ladder.
Whining~
The low sound of trumpets resounded from the Chinese army, and then the sound of trumpets sounded one after another.
At the same time as the horn sounded, the Mongol army began to completely mobilize and launched a siege on the entire city of Xiangyang.
"Kill!"
Tens of thousands of Mongol soldiers let out a hysterical roar that swept through the sky and the earth like thunder.
At this moment, almost everyone was deaf in their ears from the terrible shouting and killing sound, and they couldn't hear anything at all.
The Mongol soldiers were accustomed to such conquests, and they only knew how to keep advancing until they had killed all the enemies in front of them.
At the same time, after Lu Nianchou and Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang separated, they prostrated themselves from a hidden place outside the city to observe the situation on the battlefield.
As far as the eye could see, the Mongol soldiers armed with knives and guns drove the Han people to climb the city wall.
And the soldiers defending the city suddenly became a mess, some opened their bows and arrows, some were soft-hearted and couldn't bear to move, and the dragons were leaderless.
It didn't take long for some of the Han Chinese who had been driven away by the Mongol soldiers to climb the ladder.
"There must be something big going on in Xiangyang City, even the soldiers guarding the city have no one to command, where have all the generals and colonels in the city gone?"
Lu Nianchou only glanced at the situation on the city wall, and guessed seventy-seven-eighty-eight, "If it goes on like this, how can Xiangyang City be able to hold it?" β
"The Mongols are obviously determined to win this time, what is happening in Xiangyang City?"
If the Great Song Dynasty did not rely on the southern terrain, it would not be able to resist the Mongol iron cavalry in any case.
In this day and age, any elite army will be dwarfed by the Mongol cavalry in front of them.
Lu Nianchou could even clearly see that the fears of the Great Song soldiers on the city were trembling.
When he came back to his senses, he saw an overwhelming rain of arrows passing overhead, pressing towards Xiangyang City like a dark cloud on the top.
At the same time, ladders were erected on the top of the city, and the Mongol army began to attack the city in a big way.
Rumble!
The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty have been guarding Xiangyang City for many years, and although they are afraid, they already have a complete set of defense systems.
Seeing the Mongols attacking, after a riot at the head of the city, a Han general finally appeared, this person was Li Hu, the commander of Zhenjiang.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Li Hu pulled out his knife and cut down several soldiers who did not obey the order one after another, and immediately ordered loudly: "Release the arrow!" β
"Dare to disobey the order, kill!"
He was decisive and ruthless, coupled with the fierce eyes of his own soldiers, the soldiers defending the city were suddenly stunned and began to draw their bows and shoot arrows.
For a while, arrows rained down, and in the screams, all the people fell down one after another.
Some of the Han people who were driven away were frightened and turned around and left, but they were cut off by the Mongol soldiers who were supervising the battle behind them, and they were shot through the body.
"If you dare to take half a step back, you will be killed!"
The Mongol soldiers of the warlords were extremely ruthless, and forced the people to continue the siege of the city with iron and blood.
Under the command of Li Hu, the Song soldiers at the head of the city smashed the burning oil mixed with stones from the city wall, ignoring the Han people.
It was like a meteorite falling from the sky, killing one after another Han Chinese and Mongolian soldiers.
However, the number of enemies was too large, and there were already people who rushed to the walls with the corpses of their companions.
Meet at close quarters!
Bang!
Swords clash, blood sprays, howls and roars......
Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire battlefield was completely boiling.
Although the Mongol army attacked urgently, with the appearance of LΓΌ Wende, the originally precarious city of Xiangyang began to turn around under his command.
After continuous repairs, the city has already become extremely tall, and the defense system is very perfect, like a strong war fortress.
However, something happened that everyone did not expect, just when there was a fierce battle at the head of the city, there was a battle at the gate on the west side of Xiangyang City.
Wang Min led 8,000 northern troops under his command and rushed straight to the west gate.
"Brothers, the court is stupid, the traitorous ministers are in charge, we are waiting to kill the enemy for the country, but we will be regarded as a rebel, and now the plan is only reversed, can we have a way to live, kill with me."
These soldiers of the Northern Army had long been fed up with oppression, not only did they have to fight the Mongols with their heads up, but they also did not have enough food and clothing, and they were even more angry in the city.
That's all, it's not easy to survive in this year.
But as soon as Li Hu, the commander of Zhenjiang, came, he wanted to condemn them as rebels and clean them up completely, which undoubtedly made all the soldiers of the Northern Army intolerable.
At this time, the soldiers of the Northern Army, who could not bear it, shouted in unison, bravely took the lead, and killed those soldiers of the Southern Army of the Great Song Dynasty who were guarding the west gate.
"Listen up, the people on the other side are all Han Chinese, and they don't want to kill each other." Wang Min shouted towards the city gate: "Zhenjiang Commander Li Hu doesn't give us a way to live, we just want to open the city gate and ask for a way to live." β
"If you're willing to get out of the way, we'll be fine."
"If you dare to say half a word, then give it to me...... Kill! β
The defenders guarding the west gate were pale and panicked, but how dare they open the gate without permission.
Unlike these soldiers of the Northern Army, many of the soldiers of the Southern Army have their families in the city, or in other state capitals, once the city gate is opened at this time, I am afraid that not only will they die, but even their families will be implicated.
Wang Min didn't think that they would agree, just to boost his morale, but when he saw the chaos at the city gate, his eyes flashed with murderous intent when he saw the chaos at the city gate.
"Brothers, give me up, open the gates, and kill them."
"Since the Great Song Dynasty doesn't give us a way to live, then we will surrender to the Mongols, and we will be prosperous and rich today."
"Rush me!"
With his order, the 8,000 northern troops rushed out, how could the Great Song soldiers guarding the city gate be able to resist.
Even though the guards at the gate of the city were all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, fierce and fierce, but at this time, they were still in front of each other, and dozens of people were killed.
The 8,000 northern army swarmed up, all the defenders were killed and dispersed in an instant, the blood stained the earth red, and it didn't take long for the West City Gate to be completely taken.
"Hahaha, open the gates for me."
After taking control of the city gate, Wang Min finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly shouted.
Squeak!
With the sound of ropes churning, the gates were slowly opened.
At this time, the shouts of the city moved the heavens and the earth, and as Wang Min sent a signal, the Mongol army immediately rushed to the city gate with four thousand troops.
As the west gate opened, those elite Mongol soldiers suddenly swarmed in and slaughtered into the city.
Li Hu naturally discovered this scene in the city, and he was shocked to see it, and ordered loudly: "Don't open the city!" β
"What's going on? Immediately give me an order to mobilize all the manpower to support the West City Gate, and never let the Mongol army enter. β
"Yes, Totong." The soldiers guarding Li Hu's side were also covered in blood, and one of them agreed, and rushed out with a long knife dripping blood.
There was chaos inside and outside the city, and Lu Nianchou also had all kinds of thoughts in his heart.
"We can't afford to delay any longer!"
A ruthless color flashed in Lu Nianchou's eyes, in this case, it was impossible to enter Xiangyang City quietly.
"If you want to enter Xiangyang City, there is only one way, and that is to kill it!"
"Kill!"
He drew his sword out of its sheath with a sonorous sound, jumped out of his hiding place, and strode in the direction of the city wall of Xiangyang City.
Seeing that a group of Mongolian cavalry wearing leather armor came on horseback, after seeing Lu Nianchou, their faces were very indifferent, and they directly killed them with scimitars and spears in their hands.
Lu Nianchou didn't dodge or dodge in the face of countless swords, and he killed him with the Shen Yuan Ancient Sword.
Bang!
These Mongolian cavalrymen, who were riding war horses enough to crush everything, saw that he didn't even need to dodge, and their faces showed hideous murderous intent.
However, the next moment the swords collided, and Lu Nianchou took the people and horses with a sword, and flew upside down.
The Mongolian soldiers along the way were even more knocked out in all directions!
"Kill!"
Lu Nianchou had a sword in his hand, Jin Dinggong protected his body, and the two qi of yin and yang were circulating, and he didn't have any dodge at all, ignoring all the Mongolian soldiers in front of him, and striding forward to kill.
Boom!
A sword roar sounded, and the innate pure yang qi suddenly reflected the sword in his hand red.
An incomparably fierce sword aura suddenly erupted from the blade and rolled away in all directions!
"Ahh
"Ahh
In the screams, all the Mongolian soldiers who stood in front of Lu Nianchou were cut in half by the sword light, and the bloody anger rose to the sky.
Lu Nianchou stepped on his feet, and the crimson sword qi pierced the sky, moving forward in the enemy formation.
He didn't care about his back at all, as long as he killed fast enough and advanced fast enough, no one would be able to sneak attack from behind.
His battle intent exploded, and he rushed straight forward, and a long sword in his hand swung sword light, like a huge curtain, bouncing away the surrounding rain of swords, spears and arrows one by one.
With the sword light, several Mongolian soldiers who rushed forward were swept into flying stumps by a sword!
It was originally sent last night, but it was blocked, and today's application has not been released, so it can only be reissued.
