Chapter 70: One hundred thousand urgent
"Hmph, do you think that you can escape from this place by such means?"
As soon as she saw Meng Heng's intention to escape, Zhang Rou was unwilling to give up, and her figure immediately turned into a golden light, and she chased after Meng Heng with endless thunder.
Living in the sky, Shi Tianze felt strange, secretly held his breath, and shouted at Zhang Rou: "That Meng Heng has always been treacherous and powerful, you have to be careful so as not to fall into the scheme."
"I've had some acquaintances with him, so I know what he's doing. Rest assured, I won't let him escape this time. Zhang Rou was full of confidence, seeing that Meng Heng disappeared again in the distance, he knew that the other party had plans to escape by the previous method, and his eyes immediately glowed with golden light, but he used the method of "Tianyantong" to find out where the other party's figure was.
And I saw that the eyes were flooded, within a radius of thousands of feet, all of them were included in the pupils, and even every weed could be seen clearly in the eyes.
"Escaped?"
Zhang Rou felt a little strange for a while, but after thinking about it, he thought: "But if he leaves, then our army can take the opportunity to capture Xiangyang City." And if Xiangyang City is lost, the Great Song Dynasty will inevitably fall into danger. I'm afraid that guy didn't leave at all, just lurking in the shadows. He made up his mind, but searched the whole territory in order to find out where the man was as soon as possible.
"Meng Hui, do you think you can really escape?
Above the sky, Shi Tianze destroyed the thunder force, and for a while, countless thunderballs appeared around him in an instant, and countless lightning bolts flashed between the thunderballs, and the power of thunder suddenly sounded, which was terrifying, and this thunderball resonated with each other, turning the incomparable thunder power into ripples and spreading out in all directions.
Under the influence of this thunderous force, countless animals within a thousand feet rushed out of the grass, and many birds and finches shook their wings and flew towards the sky as if they were frightened.
They can't resist, and can't resist the power of the Nine Heavens Yin Yang Thunder, and only by escaping from this place can they have a glimmer of life. But the hare, roe deer, and many wild cats and other small animals did not escape, but they had already fallen to the ground, their hair as if they had been scorched, and the birds and finches in the sky also "snapped" and fell directly from the sky, and the whole wing was also carrying sparks, which was obviously difficult to support.
The wreckage was scattered across the ground, revealing a sound of mourning.
Affected by this, the weeds within this range have evaporated all the water in their bodies, leaving only coke-like remains.
What was once a green meadow has now become a desert land.
Obviously, Shi Tianze has now begun to use his real power.
Seeing this, Zhang Rou also laughed loudly, "Meng Hui, you are known as an undefeated myth, but today, where will your undefeated be displayed?" He believed that he had a Dharma body to protect himself, so he was naturally not afraid of the Nine Heavens Yin Yang Thunder, just standing in the thunder, waiting for the opponent to appear.
It's just because both of them understand that if Meng Heng doesn't make a move, then this endless thunder will smash towards Xiangyang City.
Now that the city defense of Xiangyang City is vacant, it is naturally impossible to resist the joint attack of the two.
"Humph!"
It seemed to be a response, it seemed to be disdainful, and from far away, a sneer suddenly sounded.
"It's really shameful for you to use Xiangyang City as a threat. However, do you think that such a method will be able to defeat me?"
As soon as the words fell, suddenly, on the far side, two incomparable swords instantly emerged, stabbing straight towards the two of them.
The sword is magnificent, and it is likely to cut the sky and the earth.
Zhang Rou and Shi Tianze knew that this sword was prosperous, and they immediately shouted in unison, and they all had the same unparalleled strength.
"Buddha Fury Golden Lotus!"
"Thunder Shock!"
The golden light flashed, turning into a golden lotus, but Zhang Rou was wrapped in it, and the lotus leaves were suddenly closed, but it was very properly protected, even if there was no match, it was difficult to tear it.
And that Shi Tianze also gathered thousands of thunderbolts in one place, condensed around his body, and immediately exploded, and the Dao thunder suddenly appeared, and immediately destroyed this sword ray.
"Humph!"
Zhang Rou faded away the golden lotus and smiled deeply: "Meng Hui, Meng Hui." In the past, I had never cultivated this method, so it may be difficult to stop your sword moves. But now that I have cultivated the Arhat Dharma Body, and I have the Golden Lotus Body, what ability do you have to come and defeat me?" His eyes were full of pride, but it was difficult to hide the surprise in his heart.
It's just that Shi Tianze in the sky is staring into the distance, but there is a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
Suddenly, but saw a sudden depression on the ground, he had a thought in his heart, and immediately shouted at Zhang Rou: "Danger!" As soon as the words came out, a big pit appeared at Zhang Rou's feet, and it was more than a few feet deep to suck it into it, and it was Meng Heng in the depths of the pit.
Meng Heng saw Zhang Rou appear in front of him, and laughed loudly: "Haha." Didn't you want to see me? In that case, I'm coming to see you. "Stretching out the blade in his hand, he swung it violently at the person in front of him, and the sword naturally had the power of infinite life and destruction, just to be able to kill the enemy with one move.
Zhang Rou was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "What a guy." The sword before was just a way to confuse the enemy?" "Knowing that the distance between the two of them at this moment was not more than a zhang, there was no chance at all if they wanted to escape, but they reacted after a long battle, and immediately raised their hands and hit directly towards the sharp blade.
With a "second", the long knife fell, the armor cracked, and the arms that used to shake the heavens and the earth with their feet were soaked in blood.
In the face of Meng Hui's incomparable sword, it was difficult for Zhang Rou's body to exert its former function, not only the armor of his arms was instantly shattered, but it was a pair of fists, and he was also cut by this long knife, and the golden blood was scattered on the ground, like gold beads, and his ten fingers were also broken together, if it weren't for his tough skin, which was fixed with his body, he was afraid that he would also be cut off.
"It seems that your Dharma Body is not invincible. ”
Meng Heng swept Zhang Rou with cold eyes, and the long knife in his hand shot again, and the moves were all the key points of Zhang Rou's body.
Seeing the sword attacking, Zhang Rou was furious, and shouted loudly, "Buddha light Pudu, a thought of yin and yang!" But regardless of his injuries, countless blood gushed out of his fingers, and even those ten fingers were also golden lights, instantly turning into a wall of golden light, blocking the long knife in front of him.
Living above the sky, Shi Tianze saw the situation, and came to Zhang Rou when his body stood upright.
Exploring the other party's breath, Shi Tianze immediately noticed that Zhang Rou's breath was weak, obviously the previous knife was quite heavy, and he had no intention of continuing the fierce battle, so he held it in his arms, and looked at Meng Heng with full of chagrin, and understood that with the current situation, he would never be able to kill Meng Hui, so he immediately helped Zhang Rou up, and the two instantly turned into thunder and swept towards the distance.
Blocked by this golden wall, Meng Hui was stunned unconsciously, but when he saw that Zhang Rou turned around and ran into the distance, he was obviously extremely scared.
"It looks like this time it's over. But next time, I'm afraid I won't be so lucky. ”
Reprimanding at the distant place, Meng Hui put away his long knife and left from here.
The situation of Xiangyang City is unknown now, and he can't leave without permission, so he can only return to the city first, after all, if this Xiangyang City does not have him, the city guards will only be unable to resist the attack of the Mongol army.
It can be said that if this Xiangyang City is not supported by Meng Heng again, it will definitely not be able to support it to this extent.
"General. How's it going this time?"
Seeing Meng Hui return to the city, Gao Da immediately stepped forward and bowed.
Meng Heng frowned unconsciously, and asked again, "How is the defense in the city?"
"With Cao Shixiong and Xiang Shibi defending, ordinary people are determined not to invade the city. "Gundam replied.
Meng Hui asked again: "What about Jiao Jin and the others?"
According to General Meng's instructions, the two of them have already led their troops out of the city, preparing to spare the opponent's city defense and attack the three cities of Huyang, Tongbai, and Suizhou. Gundam continued to reply.
"That's good. Meng Heng smiled slightly: "The other party came in a hurry this time, the grain and grass in the army must not have been prepared, we only need to drag the time back, then the other party is subject to the grain and grass, and it will definitely not be able to last for a long time." Of course, we are currently besieged by the other side, and we will not be able to mobilize military rations from outside for a short time. Nowadays, it is only a matter of fighting for who has more grain and grass. ”
"That's why the general ordered Jiao Jin and the others to attack, if they can gain a foothold in their rear, they can cut off the absolute salary at that time, right?" Gundam looked a little relaxed after hearing this.
He has always believed that as long as Meng Heng is there, then this Xiangyang City will definitely not be lost!
Meng Heng replied, "That's right. Although the other party was stationed in the area of Guanghua Army and Zaoyang. Forming horns with each other, clamping down on our army from the east and west. And there is a Red Phoenix Army in the West, and Shi Tianze, who is stationed in the Guanghua Army, will definitely not dare to act rashly, otherwise the Red Phoenix Army will rush out of Tongguan at that time, and the Jinzhong generation will definitely fall into the hands of the other party. In such a situation, the other party will definitely not accept it. Only Zhang Rou in the east needs a headache. So I ordered Jiao Jin and the others to go out, one could also ask for reinforcements from Lin'an, and the other could also attack from the rear, making it difficult for them to blockade with all their might. And only in this way can we have the possibility of respite. ”
"General Meng has this plan, and we will naturally receive the order. It's just that the reinforcements from Lin'an, when will they arrive?"
Although Gundam understood Meng Hui's layout, Lin'an didn't make any moves, which made them feel very annoyed, and they didn't know what those guys were planning.
Meng Hui also felt strange, but his expression was still the same, and his mouth was also reassured: "Lin'an is still thousands of miles away from here, and it will take at least more than a month to escort the grain and grass for supplies." You let the brothers continue to hold on, and after a month, you will know the victory or defeat. ”
"General, I understand. ”
Although Gundam felt a little strange, he was a loyal and brave man, but he did not want to be entangled in it, so he immediately left the palace and came to the top of the castle.
Outside the city, the Mongol army had not yet dispersed, so it was naturally impossible for him to abandon his duties and continue to stick to his post.
Meng Heng saw Gundam leave, and he also knew that when he was faced with such a predicament, even though the soldiers under him had been in war many times, they also began to be impetuous.
Sometimes, it doesn't take a strong army to destroy a strong army, let alone a powerful weapon.
In many cases, all it takes is a difficult order, a food-scarce environment, and a long-unanswered upper echelon to cause an army to collapse in an instant, and it is not known how many times this has happened in history.
............
Lin'an City, vertical arch hall.
"Isn't the army ready?"
Zhao Yun looked at the people in the hall, and felt extremely annoyed.
Since the decision to send reinforcements, it has been delayed until now, but the soldiers have not been replenished, the weapons have not been equipped, and even the food and salary have always been in short supply, so they have always stayed in Lin'an City and have never set off.
Seeing such a delay, Zhao Yun was naturally extremely annoyed, so he summoned all the officials from the political hall to ask everyone why, and it was delayed until now.
Zheng Qingzhi immediately replied: "Your Majesty." It's not that the ministers are powerless, but it's really the rotten forbidden army. We have tried everything to dismantle and move, but so far we have only gathered 10,000 stones of rice millet, which is difficult to meet the needs of the army. ”
"Is there no more of the pile sealing warehouse?" Zhao Yun was not annoyed and opened his mouth to ask.
Zheng Qingzhi shook his head and replied: "The sealing warehouse is the weight of the rations of the people in Lin'an City, if the grain and grass in it are also transferred, the city will definitely fall into a food shortage crisis at that time." The autumn harvest has just begun, and it will take more than half a month to harvest the grain from the fields and transport it to the city. If the pile sealing warehouse is used at this time, I am afraid that the people in the city will not have enough food to eat, and if there is any accident at that time, it will be troublesome. ”
Since the establishment of the system of sealing the pile warehouse in the time of Taizu, the Song Dynasty has always prepared sufficient food and money in the warehouse in case of emergency.
And after such a long period of development, this pile depot has also developed various requirements from the initial armament preparation, such as stabilizing the price of grain in the city, and relieving the victims, all of which exist.
Therefore, even Zheng Qingzhi did not dare to open the pile sealing warehouse rashly, lest if something happened to him, he would not be able to suppress the situation because he did not have enough money and food.
Although he is strong, he cannot conjure food out of thin air to meet the needs of the people in the city.
"Then according to what you say, the pile sealing warehouse cannot be used for the time being?" Zhao Yun frowned, obviously a little scared.
He naturally knows the importance of Xiangyang, after all, this Xiangyang is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, if the city of Xiangyang is broken, then the Mongolian army can go down the Yangtze River and attack Lin'an by attacking the Yellow Dragon, and the prosperity on both sides of the Yangtze River also needs the support of the Yangtze River water conservancy, otherwise it will be completely paralyzed.
Therefore, as soon as Xiangyang is lost, the Great Song Dynasty is equivalent to being pinched by others, and he can't move at all.
Zheng Qingzhi nodded and replied, "That's right." ”
"What's the deal with the munitions?" Zhao Yun asked again.
Since the Chifeng Army pioneered firearms, the ministers of the DPRK and China have understood how much advantage an army equipped with firearms has over an army that is not equipped with firearms, so they must manufacture firearms at any cost.
But artillery is easy to obtain, guns are hard to make!
Although they produced artillery such as the Thunderbolt Cannon, the Gun has never been broken through, and it cannot be mass-produced at all, let alone used on the battlefield, so they can only order a batch of arms from the Red Phoenix Army.
Even this batch of guns is still the second-generation product eliminated by the Red Phoenix Army.
Zheng Qingzhi replied again: "That Xiao Feng always refused, and never spoke at all. The ministers are helpless, and they are really disappointed by the emperor's grace. ”
