Chapter 318: Rescuing the People

Guo Jing's anger shocked everyone, and they hurriedly raised their eyes to look into the distance, and for a while everyone hated the root of their teeth, and couldn't help but scold the Mongolian Tatars for being cruel and tyrannical and inhumane.

It turned out that the Mongolian army stumbled in front of them, and it was a wave of people in the Great Song Dynasty who were in tattered clothes and full of great panic in their expressions, most of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were about two or three hundred people......

"Master don't need to be angry, the Mongol Tatars have always liked to drive the people to assist in the siege, although we have made arrangements in advance to clear the wall, but it is inevitable that some people are either reluctant to stay away because of attachment to their homeland, or people who have no time to evacuate due to various accidents. Wu Dunru hurriedly persuaded.

"Although I know in my heart that this is inevitable, but no matter what, they are the people of our Great Song Dynasty after all!

The Mongol Tatars just want to use these ordinary people as a breakthrough to capture the city, if we rush out of the city to rescue, whether we can succeed or not, we will face the danger of being attacked by the Mongol Tatars taking the opportunity to enter the city. We can't take this risk! Tens of thousands of people in Xiangyang City, and the great rivers and mountains behind Xiangyang City do not allow us to take risks!" Xiangyang appeased Lu Wende and hurriedly spoke to stop it.

"But the people outside the city are also my people of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is our duty to do everything we can to protect the safety of each of them. Guo Jing's tone was resolute.

"But ......" Lu Wende was still reluctant to accept this proposal, after all, what he needed to consider was the overall gain and loss, the lives of hundreds of people and in case tens of thousands of people were slaughtered because of the loss of the city, the only country in the Great Song Dynasty was faced with the possibility of being trampled by the Mongolian iron cavalry, and the latter was definitely more terrifying.

"Lord Lu's worries are not unreasonable, it is indeed dangerous for the army to go out of the city to rescue, and it is easy to be dragged into the melee by the Mongolian army, bringing a greater crisis. Therefore, I plan to lead the people with strong martial arts out of the city to save people, firstly, because of their strong martial arts to resist the pursuit of the Mongol army, and secondly, they are highly mobile and more flexible than the large army when retreating. The danger that Lord Lu feared could be minimized. Guo Jing knew that what Lu Wende said was not without purpose, and it was not that there was no city, because the defender was merciful and sent troops out of the city to rescue the refugees, and the precedent of the Mongol Tartars taking the opportunity to seize the city happened. That's why this arrangement was made.

"I can't help it! Guo Daxia is now the pillar of Xiangyang City, how can he put himself in danger, if you have any accidents, the future of Xiangyang City is worrying!" Lu Wende was taken aback. hurriedly took a few steps forward and grabbed Guo Jing's hands tightly, as if this decision was more difficult for him to accept than going out of the city to rescue.

However, although Huang Rong was worried in her heart, she did not say anything to dissuade her, because she knew Guo Jing best, and she knew that nothing she said could shake Guo Jing's chivalrous heart. All you can do is silently support.

"Master doesn't have to make a move, just sit here, and leave the task of going out of the city to rescue the people to the apprentices and seniors, as well as the brothers of our beggar gang!" Wu Dunru stepped forward to ask for battle.

"Dunru, it's safer to go to the teacher. Guo Jing still didn't feel at ease to let Wu Dunru take risks alone and deal with such a situation.

"Master, there are many capable people in the Mongolian army, and we go out of the city to rescue the refugees, and it is very likely that we will be blocked on the way back. It can deal with some unexpected situations. Wu Dunru expressed his opinion.

"What Dunru said makes sense, Brother Guo Jing should stay here, as for the hundred under the city, let us accompany Dunru! Zhu Ziliu also spoke.

Outside the city, the people who came in from afar with a roar of dust and screams, behind them were the Mongol army with banners and hunting, horses' hooves clanging, long knives and spears glittering, and bloodthirsty excitement on their faces.

Visually measuring the distance, a decision must be made as soon as possible, and Guo Jing finally agreed to Wu Dunru's suggestion. Wu Dunru led Zhu Ziliu and other heroes of the rivers and lakes, Pan Tiangeng, Fang Tianlao, Wei Tianwang and other Shaolin disciples of the Western Regions, Shi Yun, Yeluqi, Guo Fu and other juniors, and the elite disciples of the beggar gang led by Lu Youjiao rushed out from the slightly open city gate, and jumped and ran under the leadership of Wu Dunru. Meet the Mongol army.

After a while, the group of heroes had already rushed out of more than a mile to meet the Mongolian squad that drove the people. The Mongol army marched in strict order, and the two hundred-man squads that drove this wave of civilians were also a mile or two away from the Mongol army behind them.

Originally, they wanted to drive the common people to the city walls to help them attack the city. Unexpectedly, when there was still more than a mile and less than two miles away from Xiangyang City, Xiangyang City actually sent people out of the city to greet them, intending to rescue these people.

This situation made the Mongols a little puzzled: "Doesn't the defenders of the Southern Song Dynasty like to cower in the city on weekdays, how can they have the courage to come out to save people? Aren't you afraid that our Mongolian iron cavalry will rain arrows, and if you sprint again, you will directly wipe out all the people rescued by the common people?"

The two centurions who were guarding these civilians looked at each other and smiled precisely because they were so puzzled in their hearts, and did not order bows and arrows to fire in unison to block the approach of Wu Dunru and the others, but waited for Wu Dunru and them to successfully save the people, and then carry out covering shooting, and then come a wave of iron horse sprints. It can directly make everyone have no return.

The game of cat and mouse is a small game of seasoning for them.

Wu Dunru didn't expect to be able to rescue these people with such success, and hurriedly ordered after the round: "Elder Lu, you lead the beggars to escort the people back to the city, remember to watch your feet, and beware of Mongolian Tartars firing arrows." We'll give it to you!"

"Understood, Helper, Brothers won't let you down. You should also be careful!" Lu Youjiao replied in a low voice, now what he wants is to race against time, and there is no time for long-windedness.

So Lu Youjiao beat the dog stick in his hand, and a group of beggar disciples led a group of people in a group according to the prior arrangement: "Folks, we are here to save you, come with us, remember to pay attention to your feet, you must follow our route!"

The beggar gang disciples led the common people to evacuate quickly. Wu Dunru and the others stood on the spot and stopped in front of the Mongols' hundred-man team.

"Shoot!" the centurion saw that the situation was wrong, and he didn't care about playing a game of cat and mouse, so he hurriedly waved the scimitar in his hand and gave the order.

"Up!" Wu Dunru's hand swung the "Xuanbing Giant Sword" violently, and with a low shout, the whole person left a purple figure and rushed towards the Mongolian soldiers.

Behind him, Zhu Ziliu, Pan Tiangeng, Fang Tianlao, Wei Tianwang, Yeluqi, Guo Fu and others rushed up and rushed towards the Mongolian soldiers.

Although the Mongol soldiers had the advantage in numbers, they were all hard hands, and for a while people shouted that the horses were neighing, and from time to time the Mongol cavalry fell off the horses.

And with the containment of Wu Dunru and others, not many Mongolian soldiers could care about setting up bows and arrows, and the sparse rain of arrows covered the beggar disciples and ordinary people who returned to the city, but with the care of the beggar disciples, except for a few minor injuries, there were no casualties.

"Everyone, hurry up and deal with these Mongol Tartars, the Mongol army is coming up. You must not let them get entangled, otherwise there will be more luck and less luck!" Wu Dunru let out a low sigh, and the Xuanbing heavy sword in his hand swung even faster, reflecting the colorful sunlight, reaping the lives of Mongolian soldiers one by one.

The Mongol army in the distance had already sensed the situation here, and was rushing with all its might, when the sound of horses' hooves of "boom" was heard, and the distance of two miles did not take long under the full speed of the surprise army...... (To be continued.) )
