The Rise of the Empire of the Heavens and the World

Chapter 769 Guo Jing Is in Despair, the Qin Army Is Coming

"Rong'er, Kublai Khan deserves to be the most powerful of the many princes in Mongolia. He is not only proficient in arranging troops, but also has extraordinary courage."

"Although our army temporarily repelled the Mongolian army during the battle this morning, the casualties cannot be ignored."

"And in less than two hours of battle, our army's casualties as a defender of the city exceeded 500."

"As expected of Kublai Khan, as expected of a Mongolian elite."

Inside the city of Xiangyang, in the general's mansion!

Xiangyang defender Guo Jingzheng said to his wife Huang Rong, his tone was full of solemnity towards Kublai Khan and Mongolian elites.

Obviously, Guo Jing was extremely jealous of the Mongolian elite led by Kublai Khan.

However, because of the need to stabilize the military's morale, Guo Jing did not dare to tell the real strength of the Mongolian army to many martial artists and Xiangyang defenders, which would shake the military's morale.

"Yeah, Brother Jing, the Mongolian army is completely different from the Jin army we encountered before."

"The Mongolian army is good at archery. Our very few marksmen can be seen everywhere in the Mongolian army. At least half of the casualties in today's battle were brought by Mongolian shooters."

"In less than two hours, there were more than five hundred casualties. Even when we resisted the Jin Kingdom's army before, this situation never happened."

"Today, Kublai Khan has retreated, but he will make a comeback soon."

"If it really goes on like this, Xiangyang will be worried."

As Guo Jing's virtuous inner helper, the husband and wife have been together for more than ten years, so Huang Rong naturally understands Guo Jing's worries.

"Well, even if Xiangyang is worrying, but for the sake of the hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang City, and for the great Song Jiangshan after Xiangyang City, I will try my best to defend Xiangyang."

"Rong'er, when will the imperial court send reinforcements?"

Hearing this, Huang Rong smiled bitterly. Why did her brother Jing always have illusions about the imperial court?

Doesn't he know how many people behind him want to get rid of him?

"Brother Jing, now the treacherous court official Jia Sidao is in power, deceiving the Holy Spirit."

"The officials and generals from all over the country are also watching the wind and preserving their strength for their own interests. There is no army in the Jinghuai area that is willing to come to rescue Xiangyang."

"Not only that, but recently, under the secret signal of Lu Wende, the chief of the Jinghuai region, the supply of weapons and food to Xiangyang has been reduced by more than half."

"And the most prestigious general of the court, General Meng, led the most powerful Western Army to garrison the gateway of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

"In short, in terms of the current situation, Xiangyang has been completely abandoned by those people. If you stick to it, I am afraid everyone will die here."

"Why don't you resign from the position of guard in Xiangyang, Brother Jing, and return to Peach Blossom Island with Rong'er."

In Huang Rong's heart, any major national affairs had nothing to do with her.

If it wasn't for her brother Jing here, Huang Rong would not want to come to the Central Plains, Xiangyang, or get involved in this war.

In Huang Rong's heart, returning to Taohua Island with her daughter and brother Jing to serve her father and live a peaceful and happy life is the best pursuit.

But Guo Jing's heart of serving the country and the people made her stay.

If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog.

No matter what Guo Jing wants to do, Huang Rong is willing to accompany her in life and death, never leaving her.

"I think I am in the Great Song Dynasty, with 400,000 to 500,000 troops, but none of them are willing to come to solve the predicament in Xiangyang."

"Even if those people in the imperial court have the courage to gather all the troops stationed in the Jinghuai generation, and then deploy some reinforcements from the southwestern army."

"It may not be impossible to have a decisive battle with Kublai Khan, and there is no chance that there is still a chance."

"But now..."

"Ugh……"

"Is this Song Jiangshan really coming to an end?"

Guo Jing's eyes were dazed, and he was already desperate for this dark Southern Song Dynasty.

It seems that the seemingly prosperous Song Dynasty has been turned into a broken wall under the fire of war.

Although Guo Jing's personality is a bit dull, he is very wise and foolish, and he is a rare person with great wisdom.

Guo Jing could see that since the day Kublai Khan led his army to the south, the Southern Song Dynasty, a remote dynasty, had reached a time when the wind and rain were precarious, and it could be destroyed at any time.

This is a general trend, Guo Jing understands that he cannot change, and at most he will prolong the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty.

But even so, the persistence in his heart and the heart of serving the country and the people made Guo Jing determined to continue guarding Xiangyang, even if he lived or died together with Xiangyang.

It may be difficult to understand this approach, but everyone has something in their hearts that they hold fast to.

This is Guo Jing's way, a way of true chivalry for the country and the people.

And what Guo Jing really wanted to protect from the beginning to the end was not the rotten Southern Song Dynasty, but the people of the Central Plains who had suffered from war and chaos.

"Rong'er, I will not return to Peach Blossom Island with you."

"I know, I'm sorry for you, Fur, and my father-in-law."

"But the martial arts in the Central Plains are watching me, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang City are also watching me. I can't ignore them."

"I have decided to stick to Xiangyang, even if it is burned with Xiangyang jade."

"Rong'er, Brother Jing knows I'm sorry for you, but Brother Jing doesn't want you to take any more risks."

"If the situation in Xiangyang cannot be maintained one day, then you can take Fu'er and leave secretly and return to Peach Blossom Island."

Guo Jing looked in pain, and did not want his wife and children to be trapped in this Xiangyang city with him.

"No, Brother Jing, you can leave this situation to the child. Rong'er will never leave you."

"Since Brother Jing, you want to stick to Xiangyang, then Rong'er will accompany you."

"If there are no reinforcements, then we will find reinforcements ourselves."

"Rong'er can ask Lu Youjiao and the others to gather several thousand disciples from the Beggar Gang to serve as reinforcements."

"In addition, Rong'er can repair a book and ask her father to bring a batch of money and medicine from Peach Blossom Island. Brother Jing, you don't have to worry about these."

Hearing Guo Jing's words, Huang Rong grabbed Guo Jing's hands anxiously and said that the friendship between husband and wife was undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

"Rong'er..."

Looking at Huang Rong, who was already in her thirties but showed a worried attitude as a child, Guo Jing was very moved and knew that Huang Rong was for herself.

It was Guo Jing's greatest luck in his life to be able to marry Huang Rong's wife.

 …

Outside the city of Xiangyang, among the rolling hills dozens of miles away, within a huge valley, a light curtain of light condensed from light blue light is running across the middle of the valley.

And a steady stream of mysterious soldiers with black tiger masks came out of them, and a chilling meaning permeated the four fields.

Not only that, after the infantry walked out, countless giant beasts and terrifying creatures walked out in a neat and orderly pace. It seemed that a terrifying natural disaster army was descending on this world across time and space.

This is the Daqin Tiejun who came to this world through the gate of the plane!
