Chapter 546: Xiangyang Tragedy (11)

At the head of the city, everyone couldn't help but cheer when they saw Guo Jing nailing the martial arts man who had defected to Mongolia to the ground with one arrow. Fang Cai's words not only angered Guo Jing, but also angered everyone on the Xiangyang city wall, seeing that he was shot by Guo Jing in an instant, how could everyone not feel happy. Even Guo Poyu, who was next to him, didn't expect his father to be able to completely pull the bow away so quickly and nail the man to the ground, and he knew more about his father's strength in his heart. You must know that when he took over this bow, Fang Zhixing once said that this bow requires at least ten stones of strength to be fully opened, Guo Jing can not only pull it away, but also so quickly, which shows his current strength.

Holding the bow and arrow in his hand, Guo Jing was also a little incredulous in his heart, although his previous archery skills were extraordinary, but he could shoot the bow and arrow in his hand to about 300 steps at most, where could he nail the enemy to death at 300 steps? Looking at the strong bow in his hand, he was both happy and sighed in his heart: "If you can get this bow as soon as possible, you must be able to kill a few more Tartars......, right?" Now...... Alas!" sighed in his heart.

Just thinking about it, Guo Jing suddenly heard a faint voice in his ears, which seemed to be shouting "launch", and he couldn't help but be shocked. Looking up, I saw Ali Hague, another deputy commander in charge of the war on the Mongolian side, and a few people with color eyes who had arrived next to the Huihui cannon at some point, directing everyone to fire stone bullets. Under their command, dozens of Mongols suddenly lifted the boulder, placed it on the gun mount, and with a "boom", they struck towards Xiangyang City.

"Danger, hide!" Seeing this, Guo Jing hurriedly shouted. Seeing that the boulder was hitting Lu Wenhuan's side, he even used light skills to take Lu Wenhuan aside.

As soon as the two left, everyone in the city heard a "boom", like a huge thunder, some bricks, wood and rubble. It also fell with an uproar. But it was a corner of the tower at the head of the city, which was smashed by a boulder, and the bricks, wood and gravel fell. Look at the walls again. I saw a boulder of about one or two hundred catties appear there at some point and smashed out a deep pit.

Seeing that this time the cannon was so powerful. Everyone in the city couldn't help but be stunned, and there was no joy anymore. Especially Lu Wenhuan, who was almost in danger just now, his eyes widened and he muttered: "How is it possible...... How can it be...... I must be dazzled, I must be dazzled!"

Seeing this, Guo Jing couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, but he was more worried. Take up your bow and arrows, and shoot them at the Ali Hague. They wanted to shoot this man and make the Mongols retreat temporarily. At the same time, the order was sent down to prepare the bed crossbow for firing, and in any case, the cannon must be driven away.

However, as soon as this order was issued, Guo Jing saw that the Mongols who had just fired the boulder suddenly dismantled the return cannon and retreated backwards. Only Ali Hague, with a few personal soldiers, came towards Xiangyang City, seemingly unscrupulous about Xiangyang City's bow and arrows.

"Xiangyang Lu is appeased. Ali Hague is here, please come out and talk about it!" A hundred steps away from the city, Ali Hague shouted loudly.

Although Lu Wenhuan was frightened by the momentum of the return cannon. But his mind was not completely confused, and when he saw Ali Hague coming, he knew that this man must be persuaded to surrender, so he hurriedly stopped the crowd and did not shoot arrows. He has a grudge with Liu Quan, but not with Ali Hague, besides, Ali Hague is a henchman of Kublai Khan, and it will be more stable after surrendering this person.

"Is it General Ali Hague? Lu Wenhuan calmed down. Equally loudly replied.

Hearing the reply, Ali Hague couldn't help but be overjoyed. Knowing that there was a way, he shouted to the people in Xiangyang City: "Lu Anfu, golden sword and horse." Listen to me. If you can surrender, Your Majesty will not spare the officials, and the people of Xiangyang City can also be preserved, and please think about it!" He knew that in addition to Lu Wenhuan in Xiangyang City, there were also Guo Jing and other people in the rivers and lakes, so he issued two conditions for adding officials to the knighthood and preserving the people, so that they could all be satisfied.

Sure enough, when everyone in Xiangyang City heard this, many people were greatly moved. If it is said that before seeing the power of the return cannon, everyone may still believe that Xiangyang City can be defended, but after seeing today's scene, they no longer have this confidence. Now the Mongols still have few return artillery, and because they are afraid of Guo Jing's bow and arrows and the bed crossbow of Xiangyang City, they temporarily retreat, but as long as they find a way to prevent the crossbow arrows in the future, and then build more return guns to bombard Xiangyang City, I am afraid that Xiangyang City will not last long. Lu Wenhuan and other generals have not received news from the imperial court for three years, and they have never heard of reinforcements from the imperial court, and they have long been disheartened about guarding Xiangyang. And the martial arts people in Xiangyang City heard that the Mongols promised not to slaughter the city, and their thoughts about continuing to guard Xiangyang were much lighter. They knew that it would be broken, but the city was already out of food, and they could not bear to continue the suffering of the people. Some of them were still a little reluctant to break through, but now they have finally put their minds at ease.

"Guo Daxia, please delay for a while, and after we break through, let Lu Wenhuan consider this matter for himself!" At the head of the city, Zhu Ziliu quietly walked next to Guo Jing and said in a low voice. He knew that although these men in the city might be tempted, he was afraid that he would be even more reluctant to surrender to the Mongols, so he proposed to Guo Jing to stabilize Ali Hague first, and then let Lu Wenhuan surrender. In that case, there will be no infamy for everyone.

Even though Guo Jing's mind is a little dull, he has been in Xiangyang with Zhu Ziliu for more than 30 years, and he can't hear what the other party means. With his past temperament, he categorically couldn't do this, but at this time, he had to do it. Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Wenhuan with a little guilt, but when he saw that he was overjoyed, he immediately turned into a burst of anger, barely calmed down, and said to Lu Wenhuan: "Dashuai, this matter is very important, let's go back and discuss it!"

"Okay, okay, what Guo Daxia said is that the stakes are very high, and we have to think about it in the long run!" Lu Wenhuan agreed when he heard this. Fang Zhixing used the hint of believing Guo Jing left in his heart with his soul, but it still worked, as long as what Guo Jing said would not endanger him, Lu Wenhuan would most likely listen. For more than 20 years, the trust in Guo Jing has long been engraved into Lu Wenhuan's heart, making him unconsciously agree with the other party.

After saying this, Lu Wenhuan shouted a few times to Ali Hague, asking the other party to wait for a while, and then hurriedly returned to the house with a group of generals. Seeing this, Ali Hague was not surprised in his heart, and returned to the Mongolian camp with a few personal soldiers.

Guo Jing saw it in the city and knew that most of the Mongols would not attack the city today, so he arranged for Zhu Ziliu and Shi Shugang to watch from the city for the time being, and he and Yang Guo, Guo Poyu and others, with the remnants of their cronies, also went to the Lu Mansion.
