Chapter 60: The Battle of Xiangyang

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day, the battle flag in the Mongolian army was raised, and the city of Xiangyang was solemn.

In the military tent of the Mongol Great Khan, Möngke sat in the first place, and his subordinates were divided into two sides.

Meng Ge stood up first, raised a glass of wine and said loudly: "Raise troops today, I hope you will work hard to help me take Xiangyang in one fell swoop!"

When all the civil and military officers saw Meng Ge stand up, they all stood up with him, and when they heard this, they raised their glasses and congratulated: "I am willing to serve the Great Khan to the death!"

Meng Ge then said loudly: "When we capture Xiangyang City, you will all have a reward!"

Zhong Wenwu said excitedly: "Great Khan is gracious!"

After everyone finished talking, Meng Ge laughed excitedly, and then raised a glass with Zhu Wenwu to drink.

At the same time, all the people in charge of Xiangyang City climbed the city tower and looked at the endless army outside the city.

That's a full 400,000 troops, and the Mongols' determination to attack Xiangyang this time is really unprecedentedly firm, you must know that the total number of soldiers and civilians in the entire city of Xiangyang is less than 100,000.

"It seems that this siege battle, Meng Ge has made up his mind!"

Guo Jing propped his hands on the edge of the city wall, looking at the Mongolian army that looked like ants, and his brows furrowed.

Huang Rong looked at Guo Jing with pity, as Guo Jing's wife over the years, she knew the hardships of her brother Jing.

Did Guo Jing really not know that it was inevitable for the Mongols to go south? Didn't he know that even if he could hold Xiangyang for a while, he would not be able to hold it for a lifetime? Don't he know that they would inevitably be defeated along the way?

No, Guo Jing didn't know, Guo Jing knew, but even if he knew, what could he do?

Do you want to abandon Xiangyang, do you want to hide on Peach Blossom Island with your Rong'er for the rest of your life?

No, he wouldn't be like this, and if he really did, he wouldn't be Guo Jing a long time ago.

People will inevitably have to endure hardships in the world, and Guo Jing can only swallow this bitter water in his stomach.

So there is one less husband who cares for the family on Peach Blossom Island, and there are more chivalrous warriors for the country and the people in Xiangyang City.

Huang Rong understood her brother Jing, so she walked with him on the battlefield full of gunpowder without regrets, away from the former happy land, from the original eccentric to a shrewd housewife, just to not let her brother Jing worry.

She stepped forward and grabbed Guo Jing's broad palm, her eyes were full of confidence in him and said, "Brother Jing, we will definitely win, didn't we come here so many times before?"

Guo Jing clenched the softness in his palm when he heard this, and only felt that his heart was filled with an emotion called moving, it is really my luckiest thing to marry Rong'er in this life, and what is happier than someone who can understand himself.

As an outsider, Qin Zhan felt the kind of affection between Guo Jing and Huang Rong, and turned around and pulled up a small hand beside him.

The little dragon girl suddenly noticed Qin Zhan's movements, and it seemed that she could also feel the impulse in his heart, and gave him an understanding smile back.

After a warm scene, Guo Jing soon devoted himself to the cause of observing the enemy situation again.

At this moment, a beggar disciple suddenly rushed up from the city tower, shouting as he ran: "Hurry up, report urgently!"

As soon as everyone saw it, they knew that there must be some emergency military situation, and they immediately hurriedly made way for the disciple.

The beggar disciple quickly rushed to Guo Jing, handed a letter to Guo Jing before he had time to salute, and said, "Guo Daxia, there is an urgent report from Nanyang!"

When everyone heard Nanyang, they were shocked, this is a Mongolian town that has long been occupied.

Guo Jing was also surprised, and hurriedly opened the letter quickly, and when he looked up, he was first shocked and then happy, and then turned around and wanted to look in the direction of Nanyang.

Everyone saw that Guo Jing's movements were a little unclear, and then after a while, they heard an earth-shattering explosion.

This voice continued to sound for a pillar of incense, and then immediately after that, everyone saw a thick smoke floating in the direction of Nanyang, almost overwhelming.

No matter how stupid everyone is, they know that there must be a major incident in Nanyang when they contact Guo Jing's actions before.

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask curiously: "Guo Daxia, what happened?"

As soon as this man asked, the others followed suit.

Guo Jing laughed, raised the envelope in his hand, and said loudly: "You would never have imagined that good news, really good news! Nanyang's arsenal and granaries have all been destroyed!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they couldn't believe their ears.

It turned out that the Mongolian army attacked Xiangyang in the south, taking Nanyang as the place to gather grain, a few years ago, that is, in Nanyang to build a grain pasture, followed by the collection everywhere, thousands of rice and wheat, thousands of thousands of loads of forage, flowing water to Nanyang.

As the saying goes: "Before the army is sent, the grain and grass go first", rice and wheat are the food of the soldiers, and the hay is the socks of the horses, which is really the lifeblood of the army.

Ruined the gunpowder and army grain and grass that the Mongol army had stored in Nanyang for several years, as long as he could not continue the grain transportation and Xiangyang City could not be attacked for a long time, then they had to retreat, and this credit was even greater.

Zhu Ziliu, one of the four major disciples of Master Yideng's "Fishing Wood Cultivation and Reading", stepped forward and asked, "Brother Guo, who has such a big hand and does such a big thing?"

"Yes, who has such a great ability?" Everyone was also full of doubts, and they all looked at Guo Jing one by one.

Seeing everyone like this, Guo Jing said with joy: "Who else could it be? It is the Sword Casting City that was born some time ago! This letter is a gift from the Sword Casting City to our Xiangyang City." ”

When everyone heard this, they were greatly encouraged, and someone reached out to take the letter handed over by Guo Jing, and saw that it read: "The Mongol army is besieging the city, and I hate to fight with you, but the plan for the safety of the city is tied to me alone, and I would like to present the grain and grass of the Mongolian army of 400,000 in Nanyang and the gunpowder that has been stored for several years." "--Sword-casting City Gong Yu bowed.

This slender and beautiful font is obviously from a woman's hand, but Juan Xiuzhong does not look weak, but gives people a feeling of Jin Ge Iron Horse rushing to the face.

Zhu Ziliushi is a master of calligraphy, and after reading it, he only said: "It is really every strange woman in the world!"

"Yes, I didn't expect such a big force as Sword Casting City to be a woman strategizing. Someone sighed.

"It's just such a strange woman, I can't wait to see it!"

......

And almost at the same time, in the big tent of the Mongolian army, a feeling of depression was rendered, and the open space in front of the tent was full of severed heads.

Meng Ge's face sank like water, his eyes were full of red silk, and he almost roared: "Behead all the people related to this matter!"

None of the officials below dared to speak at this time, and they didn't see the rolling heads outside the military tent, so they only answered yes.

At this moment, suddenly a voice came in from outside the tent: "Master Lingzhi has arrived!"

Then what made the group in the tent drop their eyes was that after hearing this voice, Meng Ge, who was still angry just now, immediately adjusted his emotions and hurried out.

"The master is here, Meng Ge is far away!"
