Chapter 32: The Battle of Xiangyang

Views:

In Xiangyang City, the heroes gathered again, and before everyone had time to reminisce about the past, early the next morning, the thunder of drums and horns was heard outside the city, and the Yuan and Meng armies came to attack. Now, without the constraints of Lu Wende, all the military and political power in Xiangyang fell into the hands of Guo Jing. On the contrary, it was much stronger than before. At that moment, Guo Jing asked Huang Yaoshi to form an army to guard the four gates.

Jiang Chen followed the heroes to the city and looked around, only to see the Yuanmeng army spread all over the mountains and fields with no end in sight. In the past few decades, the Yuan and Mongolian armies had besieged Xiangyang several times, but this time the army was the most prosperous and powerful. Fortunately, Guo Juxia is not a vegetarian. He has been in the Mongolian army for a long time and is familiar with the various strategies of the Mongolian soldiers to attack the city. The Song soldiers were condescending and were able to crack down one by one. The two sides fought until sunset on the west mountain. The Yuan and Mongolian armies suffered over 10,000 losses, but they still fought bravely to attack.

In addition to tens of thousands of elite soldiers, there are hundreds of thousands of civilians in Xiangyang City. Everyone knows that once the city is destroyed, no one will survive. Therefore, although the young and strong husbands stand up to defend the city, the women, children, old and weak also have to carry the soil. Stone, fight against powerful enemies together. Suddenly, the sound of killing inside and outside the city shook the heaven and the earth, and arrows came and went in the air, like locusts.

Jiang Chen stood at the top of the city holding a broken golden sword. He saw that half of the sky was covered with red clouds, and the scenery was magnificent. The enemy troops were galloping on horseback below the city, and their ferocious faces were faintly visible. The evening wind blew by, lifting up his blood-stained black gown. Blood was still dripping from the sword's edge.

He was not a general like Guo Jing, Huang Yaoshi, or Huang Rong. Naturally, he had already participated in the defense of the city. The fighting continued throughout the day. It was only now that he felt how insignificant an individual's power was on the frontal battlefield.

I was in a trance, and suddenly I heard the Yuanmeng soldiers under the city shouting in unison: "Long live, long live, long live!" The shouts came from far and near, like a tide, and eventually more than 200,000 people shouted in unison, it was like the heaven and earth were shattering. But I saw a large nine-pin banner raised high, with a green umbrella and yellow cover under the cavalry guard, and a group of men and horses galloping close. It was the Great Khan Meng Ge who was supervising the battle.

Seeing the arrival of the Great Khan in person, the Yuan and Mongolian armies were greatly boosted in morale. I saw the red flag waving, the troops under the city divided to the left and right, and a team of two thousand people rushed up to attack the north gate. These are the personal soldiers of the Great Khan, the most powerful ones, and a new force that has never been dispatched before. Everyone wants to make meritorious deeds in front of the Great Khan. Hundreds of ladders are erected one after another, and the Mongolian generals are like ants. Climb to the top of the city.

Guo Jing raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, today I ask the Tatar Khan to see with his own eyes the skills of our good man from the Song Dynasty!" His shout was full of energy, and despite the shouts and shouts of the crowd, everyone could still hear it clearly. The Song soldiers at the top of the city were exhausted after fighting for a day. Suddenly they heard Guo Jing's call and immediately became energetic. They all thought: "The Tatars have bullied us for a long time. Now we must teach them how powerful we are!" "Now everyone is trying their best to fight to the death.

Jiang Chen was naturally not idle. He wandered around the city. Wherever he could not support, he would go to support wherever he could. No matter how elite the Yuanmeng army was, there were not many people who could climb up the city at once. Can a top player like him intercept the ball? Coupled with the indestructible sharpness of the Broken Gold Sword, it is naturally unrivaled.

But seeing the corpses of Yuan and Meng soldiers gradually piled up under the city, the following troops still surged like furious waves, trampling on the corpses and attacking the city. The heralds on the left and right of the Great Khan rode fast horses and galloped back and forth, mobilizing troops to move forward. In the dim dusk, thousands of torches were lit inside and outside the city, shining like daylight.

It was a long battle, lasting from morning to night, and from night to morning. By the time the Yuanmeng army retreated, it was already the next morning. This battle lasted for twelve hours. The yellow sand in the surrounding fields was soaked with blood, and there were piles of dead bodies. Broken guns and broken weapons, dead horses and flags, stretched for more than ten miles.

In this battle, the Yuanmeng side lost a total of 50,000 to 60,000 horses, and the Xiangyang defenders also suffered casualties of more than 20,000 people. This battle was the most brutal since the Yuanmeng troops invaded the south. Although the Xiangyang defenders defeated the enemy soldiers, mourning could be heard everywhere in Xiangyang city. Mothers wept for their sons and wives wept for their husbands.

Jiang Chen, Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others were walking on the city road. Listening to the constant crying everywhere, he couldn't help but ask aloud: "Master Guo, Mrs. Guo, do you still think I am too cruel and easy to kill?" Hearing this, Guo Jing, Huang Rong and his wife couldn't help but were stunned. Before they could recover, they saw Jiang Chen laughing and leaving.

After returning to the room, before having a good rest, there was another movement outside the city. When I came to the city to wait and see, I saw that the Yuanmeng camp was broken into and made a big fuss again. Yeluqi and Erwu On Guo Jing's order, he went to respond, only to learn that it was actually Yang Guo, Xiao Longnu, leading the divine eagle, the Shi brothers, Xishan Cave Ghost and other weirdos who did it.

To welcome Yang Guo and others into the city, all the heroes gathered in Xiangyang, and naturally there was a lot of excitement. When Yang Guo saw Jiang Chen, he immediately pulled Xiao Longnu over to express his thanks: "My husband and I are able to reunite thanks to Brother Jiang's help. Please accept Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu's respect."

"Brother Yang, Sister Yang, please don't be too polite." Jiang Chen quickly helped the two of them up, and then got the opportunity to take a closer look at the legendary tomb goddess in front of him. She was indeed a beautiful woman who fascinated Yang Guo to his death. , he had seen a lot of beauties before, but the beauty of Xiao Longnu was really hard for him to describe in words.

After everyone exchanged greetings, they dispersed to rest. Because the Xiangyang battle was not over yet, all the heroes had to adjust and recover as much as possible so that they could be at their peak. In the middle of a battle, it was extremely dangerous. Even the top masters still had their lives. Worryingly, in terms of heroes, although there are many people with high martial arts skills, there are only a few who can be called top masters.

It wasn't until the banquet in the evening when everyone gathered together that Jiang Chen had the opportunity to hear from the ears of Yang Guo, Huang Rong and others what happened after he left.

Guo Xiang failed to escape her fate. That night, when she saw Yang Guo leaving, she was afraid that Jiang Chen's news was inaccurate and that Yang Guo would be tempted to commit suicide if he could not find Xiao Longnu, so she took the last golden needle and rushed to Jueqing Valley. On the way, she met Jinlun Dharma King and was captured back to Yuanmeng Camp.

When one of Guo Jing's masters, Ke Zhen'e, the leader of the Jiangnan Seven Monsters, learned of the news, he immediately notified Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang. The two women entered the Yuanmeng camp to inquire without success, so they came to Xiangyang to inform Huang Rong of the news.

When Huang Rong learned that her beloved daughter had been captured, she quickly went to look for Guo Xiang with Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang. Concerned about Jin Lun Dharma King's martial arts skills, they went to Baihua Valley to invite Master Yideng, Zhou Botong and Ying Gu as helpers. They discussed going to Jueqing Valley to ask Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu to work together to deal with King Jinlun.

On the other side, although King Jinlun’s original intention of capturing Guo Xiang was to threaten Guo Jing, along the way, he really took a fancy to Guo Xiang’s extraordinary talent and wanted to accept her as a disciple. Guo Xiang used his relationship with Yang Guo to A long-standing grudge inspired him to go to the Valley of Jueqing. As a result, the two sides met unexpectedly in the Valley of Jueqing.

There was a battle between the two sides. Although Jinlun Dharma King was very powerful in martial arts, unfortunately, he was no match for Master Yideng and Zhou Botong. When they were about to retreat, they were blocked by the sudden arrival of Medicine Master Dongxiehuang, and he was captured. . At this time, the righteous heroes were proud because they did not kill Jinlun Dharma King on the spot, but instead asked Guo Xiang to take care of Jinlun Dharma King while they went to the bottom of Broken Heart Cliff to find Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu.

Well, after all, Guo Xiang was just an innocent and kind-hearted little girl who had no experience in the world. She deceived Jin Lun Dharma King and opened the sealed acupuncture points of Jin Lun Dharma King. As a result, she was captured again.

At the bottom of Broken Heart Cliff, the seven Huang Yaoshi and others failed to find Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, so they had to return in vain. However, when they returned to the top of the cliff, they discovered that Guo Xiang and Jinlun Dharma King were missing. Because they suspected that Guo Xiang must have been captured by King Jinlun, they pursued the Yuanmeng army all the way to the foot of Xiangyang City, where they attacked the camp the night before.

As for Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, because of the information provided by Jiang Chen, Yang Guo rushed to Jueqing Oh as quickly as possible. Naturally, he did not stupidly wait for the sixteen-year appointment on the Broken Heart Cliff. Instead, he prepared the rope and went down directly. At the bottom of the cliff, after some searching, he followed the clues and dived into the deep pool, passed through the underwater passage, and came to the valley where the little dragon girl lived. A pair of lovers finally reunited again after being separated for sixteen years!

When lovers finally get married, there will naturally be a lot of talk between you and me, telling each other the longings, joys and sorrows of the past sixteen years. Yang Guo also learned from this that Xiao Longnu did not hesitate to leave a letter and jump to the heart in order to keep him alive. Cliff thing. Fortunately, there was no way out, and Xiao Longnu not only survived after falling off the cliff, but also because there were some white fish growing in the cold pool at the bottom of the cliff. Taking it with honey was a good detoxification medicine. Coupled with her reversal of meridians and her master's martial arts, On the contrary, the poison in his body was relieved.

The two fell in love but forgot the time. It was not until a few days ago that they were awakened by the fight on the cliff. Then they remembered the military crisis in Xiangyang, so they hurried out of the valley and invited heroes from all over to come to Xiangyang with them. However, it was still a step too late and failed to catch up with the previous battle.

Jiang Chen sighed, but he didn't expect that Guo Xiang would fall into the hands of Jinlun Dharma King. Thinking of the cute little girl, Jiang Chen, after having had enough wine and food, immediately picked up the Broken Golden Sword and headed out of the city. Yang Guo asked repeatedly: "Brother Jiang, are you leaving the city?"

Jiang Chen replied without looking back: "That's right, I have nothing to do after I'm full. Let's go to the Yuanmeng camp outside the city and kill a few Yuanmeng soldiers. It will help us to eat well. Do you want to come with us?"

Yang Guo laughed and said, "I don't dare to invite you as I wish!"
