Chapter 135: Spies

Seeing that the Mongolian army had begun to retreat, Yang Guo said: "Uncle Guo, be careful of the Mongolian army's deception, these civilians will inevitably be mixed with the Mongolian army's spies, before letting them enter the city, it is better to carefully distinguish them." ”

"The time is too urgent, where can I find out one by one?" Guo Jing said: "Let them enter the city first, and after entering the city, you can order someone to supervise these people, and then it is not too late to investigate them carefully." In this way, even if they are mixed in with the spies of the enemy army, it will be difficult for them to make waves. ”

Yang Guo thought about it, and doing so could also eliminate the hidden danger, so he didn't say more.

Lu Wenhuan said: "Brother Guo, I promised you to do this, but I took a great risk. Later, if there is any turmoil when these civilians enter the city, I will take Xiangyang City as the priority and close the city gate immediately, I hope you will be mentally prepared. ”

Guo Jing nodded heavily and said, "Don't worry, Dashuai, I will go down to guard the city gate, as long as I don't die, I will never let the Mongolian army enter the city." ”

When Guo Jing was defending the city, he had made many miraculous achievements, and Lu Wenhuan had already leaned on him as an arm, and when he heard the words, he hurriedly said: "You don't want to go down, just monitor the enemy's movements here." ”

Guo Jing said: "I made the suggestion of letting the people into the city, and naturally I will implement it. ”

Lu Wenhuan shook his head helplessly, sent two battalions of soldiers and horses to maintain order by the city gate, and ordered two teams of archers to prepare in the back, and when the city gate was opened, those who dared to break into the city were shot and killed, regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies.

After making all the preparations, Guo Jing looked at the Mongol army, which had retreated for about five miles, and then said to the guard: "There are about more than 1,000 people below, you send two teams of soldiers down and send them out of the city with hanging baskets." Then he ordered the soldiers to go into the city in groups of two, and to supervise a hundred people in each group, and to enter the city in an orderly manner according to the number of each group, and not to preempt it, if there was any violation. Punished by death!"

Although Guo Jing had no official position, his prestige in the army was very high, and the guard general respectfully responded when he heard this, and then conveyed the order.

The soldiers who left the city soon divided the people under the city into ten phalanxes and lined them up outside the city in order.

At this time, the Mongolian army had retreated for nearly ten miles, Guo Jing did not dare to delay, and ordered someone to open the city gate, and personally led two teams of soldiers out of the city to prevent accidents.

"Move fast. Enter the city in an orderly manner, and no one is allowed to take the lead!" shouted the soldiers at the gate of the city, and at the same time raised their broadswords in their hands for the purpose of intimidation.

These civilians who were robbed into the Mongolian army as siege tools, after seeing the city gate open, although they all wanted to enter the city first, they did not dare to mess around under the threat of swords and guns. Under the leadership of the soldiers, he could only run quickly towards the city in an orderly manner with surprise and fear.

Everything is in order. The speed at which the people entered the city was very fast, and after a while, two phalanxes had already entered the city, and the people who entered the city did not stay for a moment, they were controlled by a group of Song soldiers and taken to the designated place of settlement.

Looking at the fewer and fewer people outside the city, Guo Jing's tense heartstrings slowed slightly. At this rate, before the Mongol army attacked, it would definitely be possible to move all the people into the city.

At this moment, the horn of "woo-woo" suddenly sounded, and Guo Jing couldn't help but be shocked. He could tell that this was the signal when the Mongol army was attacking.

The people who were about to enter the city heard the sound of the horn, and their faces couldn't help but show panic, and they subconsciously forgot the previous warnings and rushed towards the direction of the city gate.

"Don't panic, everyone! The Tartars haven't arrived yet! As long as everyone obeys the order, everyone can enter the city!" Guo Jing hurriedly shouted.

"Go back and line up in order, those who dare not obey orders will be killed!" The generals on both sides of the phalanx who maintained order also shouted in agreement.

But everyone wanted to flee for their lives as soon as possible, but they ignored all orders and still rushed to the city gate in a mess.

"Kill!" Seeing this, the guards at the city gate hurriedly waved their hands and ordered.

"Plop, plop!" All the Song soldiers outside the city stepped forward, picked up their broadswords and slashed at the people running in front, and in an instant, more than a dozen people fell to the ground bleeding. The guards at the gates of the city also raised their weapons to prevent the people from moving forward.

The chaotic people couldn't help but stagnate, looking at the row of raised knives and guns in front of them, their eyes showed timidity, and they hesitated.

"If you want to live, you must obey my arrangement, and now no one is allowed to move without permission!" Guo Jing shouted sharply.

After a brief period of turmoil, order was finally restored at the city gates, and the Song soldiers supervised the people to continue to enter the city.

After entering half of the phalanx again, smoke and dust from galloping horses rose in the distance, and Guo Jing hurriedly shouted: "Speed up! Enter the city as soon as possible!"

"The Mongolian army is coming! Everyone hurry up and run for their lives in the city!"

I don't know who shouted among the people, and then the same shouts rang out one after another among the people, causing a panic.

"Enemy spies!" Guo Jing noticed that many people among the people were taking advantage of the chaos to approach the Song soldiers on both sides, and hurriedly shouted: "All the soldiers stand back! There are enemy spies!" Guo Jing noticed that many people among the people were taking advantage of the chaos to approach the Song soldiers on both sides, and hurriedly shouted: "All the soldiers stand back!" and he had already flown into the crowd and beat the two enemy spies to death with two palms.

After he reminded him, all the soldiers hurriedly rode away from the crowd.

Seeing that the commotion had risen, the guards of the gate gave a loud order: "Close the gates!"

The sword and axe men at the gate of the city were already on standby, and when they heard the order, they shouted in unison, and the two-foot-thick iron gate began to slowly close.

"The city gate is closing, everyone rush quickly!"

Dozens of people poured to the city gates amid shouting, pushing the people in front of them forward and blocking the gates from closing.

Without hesitation, the axe hand unleashed his weapons and cut down a piece of the people in front of the crowd.

All the people did not have weapons in their hands, at most some sticks and the like, which greatly reduced the power of the attack, because although the number of people was large, the Song soldiers were not afraid.

However, the people in front were only ordinary people, and the back were the spies of the Mongolian army, they used the people in front of them as a cover, and when the Song soldiers were killing, they had rushed forward, half of them went to push the gate, and the other half of them fought with the Song soldiers.

At first, the Song soldiers had weapons in hand, and there were basically no casualties, but as more and more Mongolian spies grabbed weapons, the Song soldiers also began to suffer casualties, and the Mongolian spies in the rear phalanx also rushed quickly.

Yang Guo stood at the head of the wall, looking at a black line in the distance, and began to worry in his heart, it was the iron cavalry of the Mongolian army.

Seeing that the city gate had not yet been closed, Lu Wenhuan was frightened and hurriedly shouted: "Close the city gate quickly!

The guards at the gate of the city shouted when they heard the order: "Stand back with the sword and axemen!"

The Song soldiers at the gate hurriedly protected their bodies with weapons and retreated backwards, and the city gate was suddenly empty.

The people who were desperately crowding forward and the Mongolian army spies only felt that the pressure in front of them was light, and there was no longer any obstacle, and they all rushed into the city.

"Shoot the arrows!"

A round of arrows rained down, and the running crowd immediately fell to the ground, and the people behind saw this and cried: "Don't shoot arrows!

The guards were unmoved, but still gave the order to continue firing arrows.

A rain of arrows was sprinkled, and more than 100 corpses appeared at the city gate in the blink of an eye, and the number of injured was even more than that.

Seeing that there was no hope of entering the city, the people were frightened, so they turned around and ran out of the city, and fled in all directions. However, there were still dozens of Mongol spies who were still trying to attack the Song soldiers, and they were soon killed by random arrows.

"Guo Daxia, enter the city quickly!" shouted the guard general to Guo Jing, who was fighting with the Mongol army outside the city.

Guo Jing looked up and saw that the Mongolian army's iron cavalry had reached a hundred zhang away, and hurriedly shouted: "All the soldiers, listen, enter the city quickly!"

At this time, the two groups of Song soldiers who came out with Guo Jing had already suffered a small half of the casualties, and when they saw the Mongolian army coming, they were already frightened, and when they saw that the city gate had been cleared, they all rushed into the city gate with their lives.

Guo Jing was the last person to enter the city, and when the Mongolian iron cavalry rushed across the drawbridge and was only thirty zhang away from the city gate, the two large iron gates were finally closed, blocking the Mongolian army from the gate.

"Whew!" Yang let out a long sigh of relief, he proposed the plan to replace the king flag with people, if the worst really happened, he would have to run for his life.

When the Mongol cavalry saw that the gates were closed, they stopped their advance and waited for the arrival of the army behind.

"Uncle Guo, it's all my fault for my bad strategy, which has involved so many casualties!" As soon as Guo Jing went to the city, Yang Guo stepped forward to apologize.

"How can this be blamed on you?" Guo Jing shook his head and said: "If you don't offer a plan to save them, all of them will die on the battlefield sooner or later, and now it is extremely rare to have more than half of them enter the city to live." ”

"I thought that the Tartars would mix spies among the people, but I didn't expect that there would be so many spies. Yang Guo asked, "Why are so many Han people willing to die for the Tartars?"

The reason why it is difficult to distinguish the Mongol spies from the people is that these spies are all Han Chinese who have descended to Mongolia, and they can't be seen when they are slightly disguised and mixed into the crowd.

"As early as the time of the resistance to Jin, the Mongol Tatars forcibly abducted hundreds of thousands of Han people, or trained them to fight, or let them open up wasteland and farm, etc., for a long time, these Han people have long forgotten their ancestors. Guo Jing sighed.

"In this way, the Mongol Tartars are really insidious and cunning. Yang Guo said: "Whether or not the attack on the city gate is successful, it is the Han people who die, and they have no losses." ”

After several days, the Mongolian army launched several siege battles, but without exception, they were all repelled by the Song soldiers and the martial arts people.

Kublai Khan saw that he could not conquer the city in a short time, so he retreated for dozens of miles, and then set up camp in order to plan for a long time.

In the past few days, Guo Jing has finished teaching the "Nine Yin True Scripture", Yang Guo killed the enemy on the battlefield with Guo Jing, and trained the kung fu in the "Nine Yin True Scripture" he learned in actual combat, and his fist and palm swordsmanship have all made great progress, and his strength has improved rapidly.

Guo Jing saw all of Yang Guo's performances in his eyes, and became more and more satisfied with Yang Guo, as soon as the Mongolian army retreated, he set up a family banquet and summoned Yang Guo. (To be continued......)
