More than a month after the Heroes Conference, the Mongolian army marched to Xiangyang, and another Xiangyang Battle began.
Meng Ge did not make any probing moves at all. The army arrived in Xiangyang and set up camp. After resting for three days, as soon as the siege began, he immediately ordered people to launch a fierce attack, hoping to break through Xiangyang as quickly as possible and win this piece of land. Bones that are still hard to break after years of gnawing.
Looking down from the high top of Xiangyang City, we can see Mongolian soldiers all over the mountains and fields, with no end in sight. The Mongolian army had besieged Xiangyang several times, but this time the army was the most prosperous and powerful. Fortunately, Guo Jing had been in the Mongolian army for a long time and was familiar with the various strategies of the Mongolian army to attack the city. He was also familiar with the "Wu Mu Sui Shu", the art of war left by Yue Fei, so he was already prepared, no matter how the enemy used bows, arrows or firearms. , using fortress stones, ladders, etc. to attack the city, he mobilized his troops and generals to defeat them one by one.
The battle continued until sunset on the west mountain. The Mongolian army had lost more than 3,000 men and horses, but they continued to attack bravely and continued to kill.
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 strong men stand up to defend the city, the women, children, old and weak are also responsible for carrying the soil. Pass stones and 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.
Guo Jing held a long sword in his hand and was supervising his troops at the top of the city. Huang Rong stood beside him to accompany him. The rest of Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong, Yideng, Lao Nantong and others lined up on the left and right to watch the battle together. Looking at the endless Mongolian soldiers all over the mountains and plains, as well as the Mongolian soldiers who fought bravely to attack the city, everyone frowned. Deeply worried. I just feel that it is really difficult to defend Xiangyang this time.
Suddenly I heard the Mongolian soldiers below the city shouting: "Long live. Long live, long live!"
The cries came from far and near, like a tide, and eventually hundreds of thousands of people shouted in unison, as if the sky was shattering and the earth was shattering. But they saw a large nine-pin banner held high, with a green umbrella and yellow cover under the cavalry guard, and a group of men and horses galloping near, but it was the Great Khan Meng Ge who came to supervise the battle.
The Mongolian officers and soldiers saw the Great Khan arriving in person. Morale boosted. 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 Great Khan's bodyguards, the most elite of them all, and a new force that has never been dispatched before. Everyone wants to make meritorious deeds in front of the Great Khan, and hundreds of ladders are erected one after another. The Mongolian soldiers crawled to the top of the city like ants, and the offensive became more fierce.
You cannot defend the city blindly, otherwise if you just take beatings like this, it will not last for a long time, and it will also have a negative impact on the morale of the city defenders. The best defense is offense, so defensive battles also require going out of the city to counterattack from time to time. First, it can interrupt the enemy's continuous attack. After the counterattack, try to destroy the enemy's siege equipment; secondly, counterattack from time to time, which can also boost the morale of the defenders and weaken the morale of the enemy. An excellent defender needs to lead the offense while defending, and combine offense and defense.
Guo Jing is familiar with military science and has many years of experience in defending the city in Xiangyang. Nature understands this. At this time, I saw that the morale of the Mongolian army was greatly boosted after the Great Khan appeared to supervise the battle. Meng Ge even sent ten thousand of his own troops to join the siege, and the offensive became fierce again. Then I knew it was time to send people out of the city to fight for a while, interrupt the enemy's offensive, and relieve the pressure on the city.
Thinking of this, Guo Jing ordered his men to summon Yang Guo and explain to him, asking him to lead five thousand soldiers and horses out of the city to charge for a while.
Yang Guo took the order and went down to the city. Not long after, a city wall below the urn outside the north gate where the Mongolian army was attacking suddenly collapsed, revealing a wide city gate. Yang Guo took the lead and led five thousand soldiers and horses to fight out of the door that broke the city wall.
The city gate is being pushed and hit violently by dozens of Mongolian soldiers, so it cannot be opened easily. This section of the city wall was a secret door that had been hollowed out for a long time. It was used to prepare soldiers and horses to leave the city to kill the enemy. The city wall looks intact from the outside, but in fact there is only a thin layer left inside, which can be broken through with a single impact. In order to prevent any Mongolian soldiers attacking the city from accidentally bumping into it, it was piled up with wooden rafts in several layers. When your own troops leave the city, first move the wooden rafts away, and then break through the last layer of the city wall that was used as a cover.
From the outside, this secret door looks flawless, just like other city walls. The Mongolian soldiers who are climbing the city wall never expected that there is a secret door hidden here. When Yang Guo led his soldiers and horses to rush out through the secret door, he immediately killed the Mongolian army and was caught off guard.
Yang Guo was holding a dark black long sword. The sword was not sharpened at all. Both sides of the sword were blunt, and the tip of the sword was rounder and seemed to be a hemisphere. It was said to be a sword, but it only had the shape of a sword. It looked more like a heavy fire stick that was blackened by fireworks. But even this sword, which looks like a fire stick, is extremely powerful in Yang Guo's hands.
He blasted through the last layer of wall bricks left as a cover for the secret door with his sword. The wall bricks that shot out even knocked over a ladder that was standing outside, and the Mongolian soldiers nearby were also knocked down.Hit it into the dozens. More than a dozen of them were hit in the head, their heads were bruised and bloody, and they screamed loudly. Four or five of them were directly hit to death by the fired wall bricks.
Yang Guo took the lead and jumped out of the horse. He swiped his sword left and right, and directly broke the two ladders on the left and right sides. The Mongolian soldiers who were climbing bravely on the ladders all screamed and fell down.
After sweeping away the two ladders, Yang Guo did not stop. While riding his horse forward, he leaned down and swept away with his sword. But there was a constant sound of "dang-dang-bang-bang", and the weapons of the dozens of Mongolian soldiers in front of his horse were swept out of their hands and flew straight into the air. Some held it tightly, and even the people were swept away with them. There were also cases where the tiger's mouth was cracked, arms were broken, or blood was vomited from the mouth, causing internal injuries directly from the shock. But no matter what, not even half of those next to each other can still stand on the spot. With just one strike of the sword, a large area was cleared in front of his horse.
The dark black sword in his hand slashed horizontally and vertically, with wide open and close movements. There was no sword technique at all, they were just very simple sword moves. But although the sword moves are simple, they are extremely powerful, and there is no one who can defeat him. Wherever his black sword passes, he will die if he touches it, or if he touches it, he will die.
A Mongolian captain saw that Yang Guo was powerful, so he relied on his courage and brandished his sword to fight. He only received one sword blow, and was immediately slashed to the point where he vomited blood and flew several feet away. After finally struggling to get up, he looked at Yang Guo with fear. Although what General Song was holding looked like a sword, it was not a light weapon at all. It was undoubtedly a heavy weapon. It was heavier than a broadsword or a heavy halberd. It might have weighed six or seventy kilograms. In addition, the opponent's physical strength is very strong, and when he swings, there is no way he can block it.
Speaking of Yang Guo¡¯s sword, it has an extraordinary origin. It is the dark iron heavy sword left behind by the sword demon Dugu Qiubai that he later obtained in the original book. The entire sword weighs a total of 8,864 kilograms. When swung, it is extremely powerful and unstoppable.
Since Yang Guo became a disciple of Yin Zhiping in Zhongnan Mountain, his original destiny has long been changed. His subsequent growth path and life experience can be said to be very different from his original ones. But perhaps due to the powerful story inertia, Yang Guo still met the divine eagle in Tongbai Mountain outside Xiangyang City, and then went to the sword tomb of Dugu Qiubai and obtained this dark iron heavy sword.
This incident happened in the second year after Yin Zhiping returned to the world. That year, Yin Zhiping taught the Nine Suns Scripture to Yang Guo and Shi Bingyun at the Lu Family Villa in Jiading. After Yang Guo and Shi Bingyun left, Yang Guo and Guo Fu returned to Xiangyang not long after. Later, when he went hunting and playing in Tongbai Mountain, he happened to encounter the divine eagle that could not fly. Then he followed the divine eagle to the sword tomb where Dugu Qiu sword was found, and got this adventure that originally belonged to him. .
Afterwards, under the guidance of Shendiao, he learned the epee swordsmanship of "the epee has no edge and is too clever but not workmanlike". After ten years of practice, plus the fact that he was taught the "Nine Yang Manual", his martial arts progress has been rapid, and it is no longer what it used to be. Now his martial arts skills are on par with those of top masters such as Guo Jing and Huang Yaoshi. If you are holding a magic weapon like the Dark Iron Heavy Sword, you can sometimes win by just one and a half moves.
However, his current state of mind is different from that in the original book, and he cannot create the very powerful "Ecstasy Palm". His current palm skills are directly learned from Guo Jing's "Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon".
