Xiangyang City. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sky is just bright, the drums and horns outside the city are thundering, the Mongolian army is surging to attack, Xiangyang City pacifies Lu Wende and the general who defends the city to lead the soldiers and horses, guarding the four gates.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong climbed the city and looked, only to see the Mongolian soldiers all over the mountains, with no end in sight, the Mongolian army had besieged Xiangyang several times, but the military appearance was prosperous, the strength of the troops, but this time was the most.
Fortunately, Guo Jingjiu was in the Mongolian army, familiar with the various strategies of the Mongolian soldiers to attack the city, and had already prepared, no matter how the enemy army used bows and arrows, with stones, and ladders to attack the city, the Song soldiers who defended the city were condescending, one by one, and fought until sunset.
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, 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 feather arrows in the air came and went, like flying locusts.
Guo Jing stands like a green pine, supervising the division at the head of the city, Huang Rong stands beside him, seeing half of the sky covered with red glow, the scenery is magnificent, the enemy army under the city is galloping, the hideous face is faintly visible, and then when he looks at Guo Jing, he stands tall at the head of the city, the heroic wind is sassy, and his heart can't help but be full of indescribable love and affection.
And around them, Huang Yaoshi, Master Yideng, Yuqiao Gengyu, Lu Youjiao and other famous people in the rivers and lakes were all present, each using their own stunts to beat down the Mongolian soldiers who climbed the city wall, in addition, the old urchin Zhou Botong, who was supposed to be present in the original play, somehow did not show up, but Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng, who should not have been there, came, and now the East Evil, West Poison, Southern Emperor, and Northern Beggars are all here.
"Rong'er, Fu'er, haven't they come back yet?" Guo Jing suddenly turned to Huang Rong and asked.
"Not yet, but counting the time, it should be almost up. ”
"I hope the owner of Xiao Zhuang can arrive in time, otherwise it will ......"
At this time, I suddenly heard the Mongolian soldiers under the city shouting: "Long live, long live, long live!" The call came from far and near, like a tide, and then more than 100,000 people shouted in unison, it was really like the sky was cracking, but I saw a nine-strong big sword raised high, the iron horse supported the green umbrella and yellow cover, and a group of men and horses galloped close, it was the Great Khan Meng Ge who was in battle to supervise the battle.
The Mongolian officers and soldiers saw the Great Khan in person, their morale was greatly boosted, they saw the red flag beckoning, the team under the city was divided to the left and right, and two 10,000 people rushed up to attack the north gate, this is the Great Khan's personal soldiers, the most is the division of the gods, and it is the new force that has never been dispatched so far, everyone wants to establish meritorious deeds in front of the Great Khan, the ladders are erected one after another, and the Mongolian soldiers will climb to the city like ants.
Suddenly, the Mongol herald shouted: "Listen to the officers and soldiers, the Great Khan has a decree, and whoever is the first to attack the city wall will be named the lord of Xiangyang City." ”
The Mongolian soldiers cheered loudly, the generals in the army rushed up one by one, regardless of their lives, and the herald held the red flag in his hand and passed the decree back and forth.
Guo Jing snorted coldly, picked up the iron tire bow, put on the wolf's tooth arrow, with a snort, the long arrow rushed through the smoke and dust, and flew away, the herald was shot in the chest, fell off the horse when he landed, the Mongolian officers and soldiers shouted, morale was slightly frustrated, and after a while, there was a new force of 10,000 people to arrive at the city.
Xiangyang City is in danger.
A group of martial arts heroes, under the leadership of the four uniques, rushed to Guo Jing's body, and Lu Youjiao said: "Guo Daxia, Huang Gang Leader, the Tartars will not retreat, the officers and soldiers have been fighting for a day, they are exhausted, and if they continue like this, it will inevitably be the result of the destruction of the city." ”
"We and other people in the martial arts are not of much use in this battle of thousands of troops and horses, it is better to open the city gate and let us go out to fight for a while, it can disrupt the opponent's formation, and it is good to kill a few more generals!"
"Zheng Zheng Zheng...... Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng ......"
In this Xiangyang City, it is going to be unstoppable, and the guard general Lu Wende is ready to evacuate, and when a group of martial arts heroes are ready to go out and spill their blood, a burst of piano sound suddenly sounded on the battlefield, this piano sound was relatively slow at first, but slowly became more and more urgent, more and more excited.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
This was followed by a continuous burst of explosions.
"Where did the sound of the piano come from? What is the explosion?" Guo Jing looked around in astonishment, inexplicable.
"The sound of the piano and the explosion seem to have come from the south gate. Huang Rong listened intently and turned to the south.
"Someone, go and find out immediately. ”
"Jing'er, I've heard this sound before, it seems to be from Brother Xiao's strange eight-stringed instrument. Huang Yaoshi listened for a while, raised his eyebrows, and said with a little joy.
"Oh, then, it's Master Xiao here. Guo Jing and Huang Rong glanced at each other, their hearts were overjoyed, and they hurriedly turned to Lu Youjiao, "Lu Gang Master, you take a thousand beggars to help the disciples, and three thousand soldiers, go to the south gate to standby, if necessary, take Xiao Zhuang into the city." ”
"Yes. ”
"Seventh Prince, Brother Feng, Emperor Duan, let's go together! This Brother Xiao is probably the only hope for my Great Song Dynasty now. Huang Yaoshi turned his head and smiled at the others.
"Oh, who is this Xiao Zhuang Master? I don't know what is so special about it, that you Huang Laoxie can be so respected?" Hong Qigong was surprised, and looked at Huang Yaoshi suspiciously.
"Hehe, Qigong, Uncle Ouyang, do you still remember the junior named Yang Guo you met in Huashan sixteen years ago? Huang Rong smiled and said to Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng.
Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng suddenly said, "It's that kid's master!" That kid is really good, he is young, and his martial arts are much stronger than when Jing'er first came out of the desert, as his master, his martial arts must be very high, but he is alone, can he still influence the battle situation?"
Huang Yaoshi and Guo Jing Huang Rong smiled mysteriously, "You will know this later, but it is certain that as long as he arrives, Xiangyang City will be worry-free." ”
......
At the south gate, the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty on the city wall were dumbfounded, looking at the rear of the Mongolian army with shocked faces, and many officers and soldiers even knelt on the ground and still did not know it.
After the Mongolian army array, Dawu Xiaowu carried a wooden plank on the left and right, and the heavenly demon qin was placed on the wooden board, Xiao Peng stood in the middle, plucking the strings quickly with both hands, and the high-pitched and passionate music was accompanied by the true qi bomb like the goddess scattering flowers, and the fan surface thirty zhang away continued to create pieces of explosions, and the Mongolian army array was full of bloody wind and rain, and the stumps and broken arms were flying all over the sky.
The Condor and Yang Guo are half a step behind, separated on both sides, whenever there are Mongols who release arrows, the Condor will spread its wings and fan violently, bringing up a gust of wind, blowing the arrows away, and occasionally the fish that slip through the net will also be shot down by Yang Guo, plus Xiao Peng's body is already wrapped with a thick layer of cyclone, no, now it should be called a talisman Gangqi, and some arrows can't even enter Xiao Peng's body.
Guo Fu, Guo Xiang, Guo Poyu, and Ye Luyan followed behind them.
"Left. ”
Xiao Peng kept his hands and ordered lightly in his mouth, Wu Dunru on the left retreated half a step, Wu Xiuwen on the right advanced half a step, and the direction of the Heavenly Demon Qin's attack suddenly changed.
"Right. ”
"Turn positive, move forward. ”
Xiao Peng's password was simple and clear, and he slowly advanced all the way, and the Mongolian army suffered heavy casualties, and in less than a stick of incense, hundreds of people had turned into broken corpses.
"Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng...... Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"
"Dad, watch out for the boulders. ”
Yang Guo's pupils shrank sharply, looking at the boulder thrown by the catapult in mid-air, and clenched the Xuantie Sword in his hand.
"Humph......"
Xiao Peng snorted coldly, stretched out his palm and slapped it under the wooden board, the Heavenly Demon Qin suddenly played into the air, Xiao Peng jumped up, held the Heavenly Demon Qin with his left hand, and plucked the strings with his right hand without stopping.
"Woohoo...... Boom Boom Boom...... Crackling ......"
Xiao Pengtian Moqin's attack direction was in the air, and he directly created a "barrage" in front of him, and the flying stones were broken one by one in mid-air, and they smashed their heads and faces on the heads of the Mongolian soldiers below, and smashed a dry Mongolian soldier shouting "Eji" (mother).
Xiao Peng looked at the catapult nearly fifty zhang away, and narrowed his eyes slightly, the range of the dragons crying is not so far, then, let's have a "bazooka version" of the Tianlong Eight Sounds! The tone of the Heavenly Demon Qin changed, although it was also rapid and exciting, but it was not the same rhythm and tone, the life-killing heavenly strings of the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds, launched.
Xiao Peng pulled up a string, aimed at a catapult, and then released the string.
"Whew...... Rumble......"
Not surprisingly, the catapult instantly turned into a pile of scum, and at the same time, the Mongol soldiers who operated the catapult turned into slag.
The Mongolian catapult is very famous in history, and its official name is "Huihui Cannon", also known as Western Regions Cannon, Boulder Cannon, Xiangyang Cannon.
Many people think that the return cannon is a "cannon", but in fact it is not, the return cannon is actually a kind of improvement, improvement and innovation on the basis of the ancient catapult, making it more advanced and more powerful new type of catapult.
The return cannon fired boulders, not "artillery", and it did not fire things like broken copper, broken iron, sand and gravel, let alone explosive shells.
