Chapter 768 Mongolia's Southern Expedition, Xiangyang Is in an Emergency

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, when the traitor Jia Sidao was in power, he harmed Zhongliang and the good for the sake of harming the country.

In addition, Mongolia in the north is rising like a comet, and the cold sword may fall from the top of the head at any time. The situation of the country is troubled by internal and external troubles, and a little spark can form a spark.

At this time, Meng Gongai, the god of war in the Southern Song Dynasty, led Liu Zheng's elite navy to surrender to Mongolia, offering a strategy to destroy the Song Dynasty.

Liu Zheng proposed to take Xiangyang first, swept Beijing and Huaihe, completely interrupted the economic and population support of the Southern Song Dynasty, and dealt the final devastating blow to the Southern Song regime, which was finally adopted by the Mongolian high-level officials.

A month later, the Mongolian prince Kublai Khan personally led an army of 100,000 Mongolians to the south from the grasslands, accompanied by masters of Tantric Buddhism, and the soldiers led straight to the important town of Xiangyang.

With this information, countless heroes and gang members of the Central Plains martial arts went to Xiangyang for reinforcements.

The battle clouds are dense, and the war is imminent!

…………

"Kill it!!"

The important town of the Southern Song Dynasty, under the city of Xiangyang, was already screaming and killing.

The black cloud is pressing down on the city and the city is about to be destroyed. The Mongolian army is pressing down on the city of Xiangyang in an orderly manner.

In the huge and vast Mongolian army, there are also countless elongated ladders, arrow towers and rushing vehicles, which advance together with the advancement of the army.

And the distribution of all kinds of ordnance is extremely orderly, as if it does not look like an army from the grasslands.

In the impression of ordinary people, the main combat force of the Mongolian army is the indomitable iron cavalry.

In fact it does, but that is in the past tense.

Since Mongolia destroyed the Jin Kingdom and won the North, the Mongolian army, which has tasted the sweetness, has begun to install a large number of advanced equipment that originally belonged to the Central Plains civilization in the army.

And they will also look for surrendered Song generals to help Mongolia train a new army. The combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army has skyrocketed, and the army composition has also begun to be in line with the Central Plains Dynasty.

And every time the Mongolian army captured a city, it would search for various craftsmen to develop and build equipment.

After more than ten years of development, Mongolia's equipment level has developed to the point where it is no less than that of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Mongolian army in the later period has completely lost its way of fighting in the grasslands.

It has become a genuine technical arm, and its threat to the Central Plains Dynasty has been greatly increased.

The Mongolian army in the past was not good at attacking cities, and the Central Plains Dynasty could survive for a while with the tall and strong city walls.

But the feng shui turns, and the Central Plains Dynasty is in danger this time.

The Song Dynasty was the most prosperous dynasty in Chinese history.

At this time, under the fangs of the arrogant figure of Kublai Khan, it has become precarious, and it has reached the most dangerous moment.

Tens of thousands of Mongolian troops attacked the city, and the defenders of Xiangyang also launched defenses.

The two armies were shooting at each other with bows and crossbows. The Mongolian army and the defenders of Xiangyang were shot over from time to time, and thousands of casualties were lost before they came into direct contact with each other.

When the Mongolian army advanced under the city wall despite the arrow rain of the Xiangyang defenders, they also began to set up a ladder to attack the city.

The defenders of Xiangyang also continued to fight back, blocking the offensive of the Mongolian army in various forms.

The situation is in a state of tug of war, and neither side can absolutely do anything to the other.

The war in this state is definitely the most tragic, and screams and mourning are everywhere on the battlefield.

The Central Plains martial arts people also assisted the Xiangyang defenders to defend the city, and constantly used various means to kill the Mongolian soldiers who were climbing with the help of the cloud ladder.

In general, although the Mongolian army looks ferocious, the defensive status of the Xiangyang defenders still exists.

Although the casualties were heavy, it was still difficult for the Mongolian army to open up the situation, even the Mongolian elite commanded by Kublai Khan himself.

"Brothers, for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang City, and for the sake of the great Song Dynasty, we must block Kublai Khan's offensive, and we must not let the Mongolian army break through Xiangyang City."

Above the city wall, a burly man in blood-stained clothes shouted after shooting a Mongolian soldier who climbed the city with a bow and arrow.

And this man's words also greatly encouraged the morale of the defenders, and the battlefield was tilted toward the defenders, no matter how fierce the Mongolian army was, it would not be able to attack.

This person is the current guard of Xiangyang, Guo Jing, who speaks the greatness of a chivalrous man, and speaks loudly for the country and the people, and truly understands the true meaning of a chivalrous man.

"Okay, national teacher, who is this person?"

"It's so brave, it doesn't lose to my top Mongolian warriors."

On the plain a few miles away from Xiangyang City, on the platform of the central army of the main Mongolian army, a handsome man wearing a felt hat said to a man dressed as a Tantric monk beside him.

This young man is the Mongolian prince Kublai Khan.

The person dressed as a tantric monk is the leader of the tantric sect. With the power of a dragon and elephant, he is rampant in the world, and there is a rare rival of the sect master of the tantric sect, King Jinlun.

"Back to the lord, this person is Guo Jing, and he was trusted by the Great Khan at the beginning, and the Great Khan even wanted to give Guo Jing a good use."

"It's a pity that Guo Jing had his heart on the Central Plains, and later left Mongolia. He didn't expect that he would now guard Xiangyang for the Southern Song Dynasty, which was unexpected."

Seeing Kublai Khan's question, King Jinlun also told what he knew.

"Oh, I didn't expect it to be him, the Guo Jing who took the title of the first Mongolian warrior as a Han Chinese."

"Since he is guarding Xiangyang, I must encounter many obstacles in the advancement of Mongolia."

Growing up in the grasslands, and being a Mongolian royal family, Kublai Khan naturally knew some things that circulated on the grasslands.

Guo Jing, even his own grandfather, Mongolian Tianjiao Temujin, would appreciate his existence, and even considered not subduing Guo Jing as a great regret in his life.

Knowing that such a person was guarding Xiangyang City, Kublai Khan also put his mind to a quick decision.

"The Xiangyang defenders have been stationed in the Xiangyang area for more than ten years. They have experienced wars. Although the number is small, they are all elites."

"In addition, there are thousands of people in the Central Plains martial arts to help, it seems that it is impossible to conquer Xiangyang in the short term."

"Order the siege troops to withdraw one after another, and wait until the attack plan is negotiated before attacking."

Kublai Khan deserves to be second only to a generation of Tianjiao Tiemuzhen in Mongolia.

Not only did he keenly analyze the dynamics of the war, but he also ordered the withdrawal of troops when they were cut off, with great courage.

The military order gradually spread to the front line, and the tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers who were attacking Xiangyang City also stopped attacking the city and began to cover each other and retreat.

It has to be said that the combat power of the Mongolian army during the period of Temujin and Kublai Khan was definitely at the peak of history.

Not only was the attack brave, but even the retreat was well-mannered, successfully leaving the battlefield with minimal casualties.

"Oh, the Mongolian army was repelled by us."

"Haha, we won, won."

"Is this the rumored invincible Mongolian prince Kublai Khan?"

"It's just that!"

Seeing the Mongolian army gradually retreating, countless Song soldiers and Central Plains martial arts heroes were relieved and extremely happy at the same time.

Proud of fighting off the rumored invincible Mongol prince.

But only Guo Jing, at this moment, showed a dignified state.

He grew up in Mongolia since he was a child, and he witnessed the rise of Mongolia in the next step under the leadership of Genghis Khan Temujin, and he naturally knew the strong fighting power of the Mongolian army.

In the entire Song Dynasty, there may be no one who knows the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army better than him.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Xiangyang City did not have such a tall and strong city wall to rely on, his own tens of thousands of defenders would not be enough for these two Mongolian iron cavalry to charge.

And for Kublai Khan, the Mongolian prince, Guo Jing has never let down his guard, and his attention is even far greater than any opponent he has fought against in the past.

Not for anything else, just because he is Temujin's grandson.

Guo Jing knew that the Mongolian army was retreating now, but the next round of attacks would definitely be more violent.

The rain is coming!
