After dragging on like this for more than ten days, Temujin's army of more than 100,000 people also lost more than 30,000 people.

The city of Samarkand was also in tatters. It's just still solid. It is difficult to attack in a hurry.

It's almost summer, and the weather is getting hotter.

Yu He looked at the time and it was almost time. went to Guo Jing's tent.

Guo Jing was still thinking hard about how to attack the city. In the morning, Temujin gathered his generals and said that if he could not enter the city in five days, then the food and grass would be a little tight, and the weather would gradually become hot, and countless corpses would be infected with the plague every day, so it was necessary to withdraw the army before the arrival of May.

I saw Yu He coming. Guo Jing greeted. Continue to think about how to break the city.

Yu He approached and smiled: "Why, still worrying about how to attack the city." ”

Guo Jing nodded and said, "Yes, the Great Khan said that the army must be withdrawn in May." We're running out of time. ”

Yu He smiled and said, "I have an idea, I don't know if it's good or not." Go and talk to Temujin. ”

Guo Jingxi said: "What are the ideas, tell me about them." ”

Yu He smiled and handed over a drawing and said, "Look what this is." ”

Guo Jing looked at it and saw a kite-like thing painted on the paper.

Yu He said: "I have observed the wind direction in the past few days, and it is all southeast wind. We could fly into the city from the east side of Samarkand. ”

Guo Jing thought about it for a while, and then knew what Yu He meant, nodded and said, "It's just that I don't know if the craftsmen in the Lu Dao Army can make this thing." ”

Yu He smiled: "Let me guide them, they will definitely be able to do it." ”

The two found the craftsmen in the army. Have him make a large wooden kite. Yu He found a ten-zhang high hillside and jumped down from the hillside. Ride the wind. I glided for more than a quarter of an hour. But if Yu He wants to go down, he just needs to pull the kite down.

Guo Jing saw that the kite was really effective, and he took the kite and Yu He to see Temujin with joy.

into the tent. Temu really sat on the sweat seat. Covering his head in distress. Since he started his army, he has gone through a hundred battles and has never encountered such a turtle shell, but now he has conquered almost all the territory of Khorezm, and there is only this Samarkand city left, and if he retreats, he is very unwilling.

Guo Jing came in and said, "Great Khan." I've got a way to break the city. ”

"What. Temujin suddenly lifted his spirits. He sat up and said, "If you have any plans, tell me quickly." ”

"Great Khan, please look at this. Guo Jing took the wooden kite and said, "We can make this thing and fly down the cliff next to Samarkand." ”

Temujin wondered, "This thing can really fly?" ”

Guo Jing nodded and said, "If the Great Khan doesn't believe it." We can go out and fly to show the Great Khan. ”

Temujin immediately summoned his generals. With Guo Jing and Yu He, the two came to the hillside. Yu He got on the kite. Guo Jing held his tail behind him, rushed to the cliff together, and jumped hard. Yoga glides through the sky.

Temujin exclaimed: "Good, good. Guo Jing, you have made another great contribution. ”

Guo Jing touched his head and said, "This is all thought up by Brother Yu." ”

Temujin said with a smile: "It is also your ability to make such a friend." ”

Soon, Yu He drove the glider down the cliff, but there was nothing to do.

Temujin immediately rejoiced and ordered the craftsmen of the whole army to hurry up and build gliders. The whole army was launched, and more than 1,000 gliders were built within a dozen days.

On this day, Temujin summoned his generals and said: "In more than ten days, we will withdraw our troops, and if we cannot take Samarkand in this battle, our westward expedition will be equivalent to useless." You want to go back like this without accomplishing anything. ”

"No, no. The generals shouted in unison.

"So what do we do. ”

"Swear to take the city of Samarkand, swear to take the city of Samarkand. The generals spoke in unison.

Temujin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay." Who of you is willing to lead this army of the gods of a thousand heavens into the city of Samarkand. ”

The generals immediately asked to lead the team.

Guo Jing also made a request.

Temujin said: "The generals who lead the attack this time must have good martial arts, and they must be brave and able to adapt to changes. Guo Jing, you are the only one here who has these qualities. ”

Guo Jing immediately knelt down and said: "Guo Jing will live up to the high hopes of the Great Khan." ”

Yu He also climbed the cliff with Guo Jing. opened his mouth and said: "Guo Jing, I will accompany you to attack the city." ”

Guo Jing shook his head and said, "Brother Yu, it's very dangerous inside. It's unpredictable to live or die, so you'd better stay. ”

Yu He said solemnly: "I suspect that Wanyan Honglie and Ouyang Feng are very likely to be inside, and it is impossible for me to let you go down alone." Okay, don't say more, it's not too early, let's rush down. ”

Guo Jing nodded silently. Turning his head to the Celestial Army in the rear, he said: "Brothers, the Great Khan has already remembered you, and your little Great Khan has also settled down, if you survive, everyone will be a hero, and everyone can be promoted to a knighthood." Rush with me. ”

Guo Jing took the lead at first and rushed towards the city of Samarkand.

Yu He followed, and the remaining more than 1,000 people also flew down the cliff in one day with the help of two or three people, covering the sky and the sun in an instant, and the dense wooden kite was like a dark cloud, covering the sun.

On the walls of Samarkand, many soldiers were inspecting the walls, and they were all a little careless.

At this time, I suddenly saw countless big birds flying down into the city. Immediately shocked, thinking that the Mongolian army had the help of gods. All of them were so frightened that their legs were weak. The blades in his hands are a little unstable.

As soon as Yu He and Guo Jing landed on their feet, they swept their hands with a wave of their hands, and in an instant, several small soldiers who surrounded them were flying. The two fought and left. A large open space was emptied, so that the Mongol soldiers had a place to stay.

The Mongol soldiers in the sky controlled the fall of the wooden kite. Occasionally, two or three bodies would be killed. More than a thousand troops, when they reached the ground, lost more than fifty.

These more than 1,000 people were all selected elite soldiers from the Mongolian army. I don't want to fall to the ground, and I don't want to do too much. Swing the blade in your hand directly and attack the gate of Samarkand.

At the same time, outside the city, Temujin saw that Guo Jing had really led people into the city of Samarkand, and his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately ordered the three armies to attack the edge of the city, with ladders and skins to rush to the car. Rush to the top.

With more than 1,000 Mongol soldiers fighting on the city walls, Temujin's men and horses easily climbed the city walls on ladders.

Several generals rushed up to the city wall to protect the ladder. The Mongol soldiers suddenly came up in a steady stream.

The inside should be combined with the outside. Fight to the death. More than 100,000 defenders were panicked and did not know where the enemy army came from. The Mongol army fought and poured oil everywhere and set fires. The city was on fire, and the Khorezm soldiers were even more chaotic. Before dawn. The defenders were crushed. King Mahamat of Khorezm reported that there were no enemy troops at the north gate. Immediately open the city to the north. Unexpectedly, Guo Jing's 10,000-strong team was already waiting on both sides. Arrows and spears are used together, and they are slaughtered for a while. Mahamat had no intention of fighting, and ordered Yan Honglie to lead the troops to the palace. With the support of his own soldiers, he was the first to flee for his life.

Wanyan Honglie was also a cunning man, and ordered a dead soldier who was similar to his own body to put on his own armor and clothes to replace his palace, and he and Ouyang Feng fled from Samarkand City.

Guo Jing led his elite soldiers. And fight and go, tightly bite the army after the breakoff of the Khorezm country, drag on for a while, the enemy army is surrounded by heavy troops at this time only more than 10,000 people are left behind the palace, although they are all elite, but the defeated army, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, all of them are captured by Guo Jing's subordinates. Guo Jing inspected the prisoners, but he didn't see Yan Honglie, although he won a complete victory, he was still scared. By dawn, the city would be cleared of the remnants of the enemy. Genghis Khan gathered his generals in the palace of Mahamat. Guo Jing was reorganizing the army, checking and comforting the casualties of his subordinates, hearing the golden horn of the Great Khan blowing, he hurriedly followed the sound and rushed to the palace, Tiemu really sat on the throne, saw Guo Jing coming, walked down happily, took Guo Jing's hand, took his hand to the upper hall, ordered to move a brocade stool left and right, and asked him to sit beside him.

Temujin said to Guo Jing: "Good boy, I said before that as long as there is a warrior who can take the lead in breaking through the city and leading the army into the city, the children of this city will reward him with all the jade silks, and you can lead the troops to take it." Guo Jing shook his head and said: "My mother and son are protected by the Great Khan, they have enough food and clothing, and the slaves are rich in gold and silk, and it is useless to have more." Genghis Khan said: "Well, this is the true nature of a hero." So what do you want? But if you ask for something, I will not grant it. ”

Before Guo Jing could speak, he suddenly heard the cries and shouts of thousands of people in the distance, which shook the sky and the earth and was thrilling. All the generals in the palace jumped up, drew their long knives, and said that the soldiers and civilians of Khorezm, who had surrendered in the city, suddenly rose up, and they all rushed out of the city to suppress it. Genghis Khan smiled: "It's nothing, it's nothing." This dog city does not accept the power of heaven, I am so tired that I lose my soldiers and generals, and I have killed my beloved grandson, so I must be greatly cleansed and slaughtered. Let's go and see. "Now step out of your seat, and the generals will follow. After everyone left the palace, they got on their horses and galloped to the west city. But the crying became more and more terrible. As soon as they left the city gate, they saw hundreds of thousands of people running and crying, pushing and rolling, and the Mongolian soldiers would gallop back and forth on horses, wielding long knives, and slashing at the crowd. It turned out that the Mongols ordered all the inhabitants to leave the city, and not a single one should be left behind. At first, the local residents also said that the Mongols counted the household registration to prevent hiding spies, but the Mongolian army first searched all the weapons of the residents, and then pointed out all kinds of skilled craftsmen, and then pulled out the beautiful young women and girls in the crowd and tied them up with ropes. At this time, the inhabitants of Samarkand realized that a great calamity was coming, and some tried to resist, but were killed on the spot with long knives and spears. More than a dozen thousand-strong teams of the Mongol army shouted in unison, rushed towards the crowd, raised their long knives, and slashed indiscriminately at all men, women, and children. This massacre was truly horrific, and neither the gray-haired old man nor the baby who had left his mother's arms was spared. When Genghis Khan led the generals to inspect, more than 100,000 people had already died in the area, and the flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the iron hooves of Mongolian horses stepped on the corpses everywhere, slaughtering and poking them around.

And Yu He was watching this tragic scene outside, although these people were all foreigners, but the old and young women and children, what a crime, thinking about it when he thought about it in the coming day, if Temujin captured the Southern Song Dynasty, the tragic situation would still be played, and he thought in his heart that he would never let Temujin invade the Southern Song Dynasty.

Guo Jing looked at it for a moment, couldn't bear it anymore, galloped to Genghis Khan's horse, and shouted, "Great Khan, you spare them." Genghis Khan waved his hand and shouted: "Kill them all, and leave no one behind." Guo Jing didn't dare to say any more, only to see a seven or eight-year-old child escape from the crowd, pounce on a woman who was knocked down by a war horse, and shout: "Mom!" A Mongolian soldier rushed over, and with a swing of a long knife, the mother and son were cut into four pieces. The child's hands were still firmly on his mother's feet. Guo Jing's chest was boiling with blood, and he shouted: "Great Khan, you said that the children in this city are all mine, why did you order the slaughter of the city?" Genghis Khan was stunned. Laughing, "You don't want it yourself." Guo Jing said: "You said that no matter what I ask you, you will agree, right?" Genghis Khan nodded and smiled. Guo Jing said loudly: "The Great Khan is like a mountain, I beg you to spare the lives of these hundreds of thousands of people." ”

Temujin was stunned, he didn't expect Guo Jing to say this, but since he said it, it was not easy to regret it. He was extremely angry in his heart, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, he glared at Guo Jing, and pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife. "Little one," he said. Do you really ask me about this?" and all the kings and generals were terrified when they saw the great Khan's anger. Genghis Khan lined up on the left and right, all of them were battle-hardened brave generals, fierce and fierce. Death is like home. But the Great Khan was furious. But everyone shuddered.

Guo Jing was also extremely frightened, but he still nodded and said, "Ask the Great Khan for mercy." ”

Temujin saw that Guo Jing was also trembling, and he knew that he was scared. But he still begged himself to go around these people, and he was angry and laughing in his heart, and he couldn't get out of his anger, so he shouted loudly, and threw his long knife on the ground. Nodding his head, he said, "Okay, the whole army will go back to the camp."

All the generals looked at Guo Jing sideways, thinking that under the anger of the Great Khan, I don't know who was unlucky, and it was inevitable that they would suffer a lot. After the capture of Samarkand, he could have plundered and slaughtered for several days, so the joy of breaking the city was completely lost. Guo Jing knew that the generals were dissatisfied, so he didn't pay attention to it, and rode the little red horse slowly to the secluded place.

Yu He's heart moved and followed. Stretched out his hand and patted Guo Jing on the shoulder and said, "Silly boy, what's wrong." ”

Guo Jing said: "The Great Khan conquered the world, I helped him break the city of Samarkand, I don't know if it's right or wrong, but what sins did these innocent people commit, and they ended up in such a mess and abandoned the wilderness? ”

Yu He said with a smile: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, Temujin wants to dominate the grassland, and there are countless corpses and bones under his feet, if he is defeated, it will be your robes that will be killed today." ”

Guo Jing nodded and said, "I also know the way, but I still feel sad when I see the people being slaughtered." ”

Yu He smiled: "This is sad, then when Temujin attacks the Southern Song Dynasty, how should you face it." ”

Guo Jing was shocked and said: "How is it possible, the Great Khan attacked the Khorezm Kingdom because the king of the Khorezm Kingdom killed our envoy. How could the Great Khan attack the Southern Song Dynasty? It's impossible, it's impossible. ”

"Hehe, do you believe it. Yu He simply replied.

Guo Jing was stunned, and Yu He was already far away. dropped a sentence from afar, "Silly boy, think about it, are you going to be a general under Temujin and enjoy all the glory and wealth, or take your mother back to the Southern Song Dynasty and fight against Mongolia with me." ”

Guo Jing stood on the hillside, looking at the prairie below the hillside for a long time.

After thinking about it for a long time, Guo Jing suddenly thought of Rong'er, thought that Huang Rong was still waiting for him on Peach Blossom Island, and said in his heart: "Rong'er is still waiting for me." My martial arts progress is quite slow. After more than a year, how can Huashan argue about the sword, how can it win the first place in the world. ”

He also thought: "Although the Great Khan is very kind to me, but I have made great contributions to him, and I can be regarded as repaying his kindness, if the Great Khan goes south to attack the Song Dynasty, he will be full of devastation, how can I turn a blind eye." "I secretly made up my mind to stop Temujin from attacking the Southern Song Dynasty.

It was not until the evening that Guo Jing returned to the barracks and walked to his tent.

When I came to the camp gate, I saw two of the Great Khan's personal soldiers waiting outside the door, stepped forward to salute, and said: "The Great Khan has summoned the horse master, the villain has been waiting for a long time, please go quickly." Guo Jing thought to himself: "I went against the will of the Great Khan during the day, and I don't know if he wants to behead me." That's what happened, so I had to do it with the camera. ”

When he went there, he saw that Temujin had held a great feast outside the palace. All the kings and generals are here, and Yu He is also here.

Seeing Guo Jing coming, Temujin said with a smile: "Our great hero is here, let's toast him." Temujin held his glass, his face flushed, he had already drunk a lot of wine.

Guo Jing hurriedly took the wine and drank it all.

Temujin smiled and said, "Good, good man." ”

Next, all the kings will come to toast one by one, and Guo Jing will also follow.

After a circle, although Guo Jing was born in Mongolia and had outstanding drinks, he was still a little drunk.

After drinking, everyone sat down and talked to each other, eating meat and drinking.

For a while, the scene was chaotic.

Suddenly, Mujin slapped the table. Everyone fell silent.

Temujin sighed: "When I was a child, I made it my life's goal to eliminate the Jin Kingdom and unify Mongolia. Now the goal of unifying Mongolia has been achieved. But I'm also getting old. I don't know how long I can live, but I already feel the call of the Immortal Heaven. Ogedai, the task of destroying the Kingdom of Jin is entrusted to you. ”

Wokotai and the princes knelt down together and said, "Father Khan, you are not old at all, you still have to lead us to destroy Dajin, we have to go south to the Great Song Dynasty, we have to let our horses' hooves step on the place." All of them are the territory of Mongolia. Only Father Khan can do this. ”

Temujin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said: "Okay, well, where our horses' hooves are tread, they are all Mongolian land. Well, Ogedei, you are my son of Temujin, your ambitions are greater than mine, and your sky is wider than mine. In the future, you will move towards this goal, and the horseshoe will be Mongolian. ”

The generals shouted in unison: "Where the horse's hooves are stepping." All are Mongolian. ”

Only Guo Jing and Yu He did not make a sound.

Guo Jing wanted to speak out against it, but Yu He held down the pulse. Fortunately, the two of them sat at a distance from Temujin, and everyone looked at Temujin, and no one noticed that they did not shout.

Temujin said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's drink and don't talk about political affairs." ”

The atmosphere of the generals was strong, and the drink was in full swing.

Guo Jing no longer had the intention of drinking. and Yu He ate a leg of mutton. The toast to the generals was only a dizziness, and a little sip.

Some generals were angry, and Temujin said: "Guo Jing is still young, you drunkards should not be poured into him." Then the generals stopped.

At midnight, after the banquet was over, the generals left, and Guo Jing called Yu He. The two went to Guo Jing's camping tent. (To be continued......)
