Episode 32: The Battle of Xiangyang

In the city of Xiangyang, the heroes reunited, everyone had not had time to reminisce about the past, early the next morning, they could hear the thunder of the drums and horns outside the city, and the Yuanmeng army came to attack. Now, without the constraints of Lu Wende, all the military and political power in Xiangyang has fallen into the hands of Guo Jing, but it is much stronger than before.

Jiang Chen followed the heroes to the city and looked, only to see that the Yuanmeng army was all over the mountains and fields, with no end in sight. For decades, the Yuanmeng army has besieged Xiangyang several times, but the strength of the army and the strength of the army are the most. Fortunately, Guo Juxia is not a vegetarian, he has been in the Mongolian army for a long time, familiar with the various strategies of the Mongolian soldiers to attack the city, and has long been prepared, no matter how the enemy army uses bows and arrows, firearms, stones, and ladders to attack the city, the Song soldiers who defend the city are condescending, and they can crack it one by one, and the two sides fight directly to the sunset West Mountain, and the Yuan and Mongolian armies have lost more than 10,000 yuan, but they still follow one after another, and bravely attack.

In addition to tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Xiangyang City, there are still hundreds of thousands of people, everyone knows that this city is broken, no one can survive, so Ding Zhuang's husband certainly rose up to defend the city, that is, women and children, the old and weak, but also to carry the soil and stones, to resist the strong enemy. For a while, the sound of killing inside and outside the city shook the heavens and the earth, and the feathered arrows in the air came and went, like flying locusts.

Jiang Chen stood at the head of the city with a broken gold sword, seeing half of the sky covered with red glow, the scenery was magnificent, and the enemy troops under the city were galloping, and their hideous faces were faintly visible. The evening breeze blew, lifting his blood-stained black robe, and the blood was still dripping from the blade of the sword.

He is not a boss like Guo Jing, Huang Yaoshi, and Huang Rong, so he naturally participated in the defense of the city for a long time, and at the end of the day, the fighting continued, and it was only now that he felt how small his personal strength was on the frontal battlefield.

In a trance, I was stunned, and suddenly heard the Yuanmeng soldiers under the city shouting in unison: "Long live, long live, long live!" The cry came from far and near, like a tide, and then more than 200,000 people shouted in unison, it was really like the sky was falling apart. But seeing a nine-fold big silk raised high, the iron cavalry supported the green umbrella and yellow cover, and a group of men and horses galloped closer, it was the Great Khan Meng Ge who was in battle to supervise the battle.

The Yuanmeng army saw that the Great Khan was coming, and their morale was greatly boosted. I saw the red flag beckoning, and the teams under the city were divided to the left and right, and two 10,000 people rushed up to attack the north gate. This is the Great Khan's own soldiers, the most sharp division, and the new force that has never been dispatched so far, everyone wants to establish meritorious deeds in front of the Great Khan, hundreds of ladders have been erected, and the Mongol soldiers will climb to the city like ants.

Guo Jing folded his arms and shouted: "Brothers, today I will ask the Great Khan of Tartars to see with your own eyes the skills of our good men of the Great Song Dynasty!" The Song soldiers at the head of the city had been fighting for a day, and they were already tired, and when they heard Guo Jing shouting like this, they were in great spirits, and they all thought: "The Tartars have bullied us for a long time, and at this time we must teach them the Great Khan to know how powerful we are!"

Jiang Chen is naturally not idle, he wanders around the city, where he can't support it, he will support wherever he can, let the elite of the Yuanmeng army, but the number of people who climb the city at one time is not many, where can he be stopped from intercepting and killing by a top master like him? Coupled with the indestructible sharpness of the gold-breaking sword, it is naturally even more incomparable.

But seeing that the corpses of the Yuanmeng soldiers were gradually piled up under the city, the follow-up team was still surging like angry waves, trampling on the corpses to attack the city. The heralds to the left and right of the Great Khan galloped to and fro on fast horses and moved their troops forward. In the twilight, thousands of torches were lit inside and outside the city, shining as if it were day.

It was a great battle, fought from morning to night, and from night to morning, and when the Yuanmeng army retreated, it was the next morning. This battle lasted for 12 hours, and the yellow sand in the four fields was soaked in blood, the dead bodies were piled up, the broken spears were broken, the dead horses broke the flag, and it stretched for more than ten miles.

In this battle, the Yuan and Mongolian sides lost 50,000 or 60,000 horses, and the defenders of Xiangyang also suffered more than 20,000 casualties. Although the defenders of Xiangyang repelled the enemy soldiers, mourning was heard everywhere in Xiangyang City, with mothers crying for their sons and wives crying for their husbands.

Jiang Chen, Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others, walking on the city road, listening to the constant crying everywhere, couldn't help but ask: "Guo Daxia, Mrs. Guo, do you still think I'm too cruel and easy to kill?" Hearing this, Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and before they came back to their senses, they saw that Jiang Chen had already laughed and left.

Back in the room, before I had time to take a good rest, there was movement outside the city, came to the city to watch, but saw that the Yuanmeng camp was forced to break into the big trouble again, Yeluqi and Erwu went to answer the order of Guo Jing, only to learn that it was Yang Guo Xiaolongnu who led the Condor and the Shi brothers, a ghost in a cave in Xishan and other strange heroes of the rivers and lakes.

Welcoming Yang Guo and others into the city, the heroes gathered in Xiangyang, and naturally there was a lot of excitement. When Yang Guo saw Jiang Chen, he immediately pulled Xiaolongnu over to thank him: "My husband and wife can reunite, all rely on the help of Brother Jiang, please accept Yang Guo's Xiaolongnu worship." ”

"Brother Yang, sister-in-law Yang, take a lot of courtesy. Jiang Chen hurriedly helped the two of them up, and then he got the opportunity, looking at the legendary tomb goddess in front of him, it was indeed a big beauty who fascinated Yang Guo with a lot of death, he had seen a lot of beauties before, but the beauty of the little dragon girl really made him difficult to describe in words.

Everyone greeted each other, then they dispersed to rest, because the battle of Xiangyang has not ended, the heroes have to adjust and recover as much as possible, so that they are at the peak of the moment, in the war, the danger is incomparable, is the top master, there are also worries about life, the situation is the heroes, although there is no lack of people with strong martial arts, but can be called the top master, there are a few people.

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

Guo Xiang couldn't escape the arrangement of fate in the end, that night, she saw Yang Guo leaving, and she was afraid that Jiang Chen's news would not be accurate, and Yang Guo couldn't find that Xiaolongnu would not think of committing suicide, so she rushed to the Valley of Despair with the last golden needle. On the way, she met the Golden Wheel and was captured back to the Yuanmeng camp.

One of Guo Jing's masters, Ke Zhenxi, the head of the Seven Monsters in Jiangnan, knew the news, and immediately informed Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang, and the two daughters entered the Yuanmeng camp to investigate to no avail, so they came to Xiangyang to inform Huang Rong of the news.

Huang Rong learned that her beloved daughter was captured, and immediately hurriedly went to find Guo Xiang with Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang.

On the other hand, although the original intention of King Jinlun to capture Guo Xiang was to threaten Guo Jing, but along the way, he really looked at Guo Xiang's extraordinary talent and wanted to accept her as a disciple, Guo Xiang took advantage of his long-term feud with Yang Guo to provoke him to go to the Valley of Despair, so that the two sides met unexpectedly in the Valley of Despair.

After a big battle between the two sides, although the Golden Wheel Dharma King was strong in martial arts, it was a pity that the enemy could not be defeated by Master Yideng and Zhou Botong, and at the moment when they were about to retreat, they blocked the way for the Eastern Evil Yellow Medicine Master who suddenly came, so that they were captured. At this time, the righteous heroes were proud, because they did not kill the Golden Wheel Dharma King on the spot, but asked Guo Xiang to take care of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, and they went to the bottom of the Broken Intestine Cliff to find Yang Guo Xiaolongnu.

Well, after all, Guo Xiang is just an innocent and kind little girl who has no experience in the world, and she deceived the Golden Wheel Dharma King in a daze, and unlocked the sealed acupoint of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, and as a result, she was captured again.

At the bottom of the cliff, the seven Huang Yaoshi failed to find Yang Guo Xiaolongnu, so they had to return in vain, but when they returned to the top of the cliff, they found that Guo Xiang and the Golden Wheel Dharma King were gone. Because they suspected that Guo Xiang must have been captured by the King of Jinlun, they pursued the Yuanmeng army all the way to the city of Xiangyang, and there was an attack on the camp the night before.

As for Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, because of the information provided by Jiang Chen, Yang Guo rushed to the desperation as quickly as possible, naturally he did not wait stupidly for a sixteen-year appointment on the Broken Intestine Cliff, but prepared a rope and went directly to the bottom of the cliff, and then searched for it, followed the clues and dived into the deep pool, passed through the underwater passage, and came to the valley where the Xiaolongnu lived.

There are lovers who eventually become dependents, and it is naturally indispensable for you and me to confide in each other about the parting thoughts of the past 16 years, joys and sorrows, Yang Guo also learned from this that Xiaolongnu did not hesitate to leave a book to jump off the cliff in order to keep him alive. Fortunately, the sky is endless, and the little dragon girl not only fell off the cliff and did not die, because there were some white fish growing in the cold pool at the bottom of the cliff, and taking it with honey was a good antidote, plus she reversed the meridian cultivator's martial arts, but instead solved the poison on her body.

The two had a strong love, but they forgot the time, until a few days ago, they were awakened by the battle on the cliff, and then they remembered the catastrophe of the Xiangyang soldiers, so they hurriedly went out of the valley, invited all the heroes from all over the world, and came to Xiangyang together. It's just that in the end, it was still a step slower and failed to catch up with the previous war.

Jiang Chen sighed when he heard it, but he didn't expect that Guo Xiang still fell into the hands of the Golden Wheel Dharma King. Thinking of that lovely little girl, Jiang Chen, who was full of wine and food, immediately lifted the broken golden sword, and went out of the city, Yang Guo asked repeatedly: "Brother Jiang, are you going out of the city?"

Jiang Chen replied without looking back: "That's right, when you're full, you have nothing to do, go to the Yuanmeng camp outside the city and go around, kill a few Yuanmeng soldiers, and eat well, do you want to be together?"

Yang Guo laughed and said, "I don't dare to ask for it!"
