Chapter 1856: The war begins
Everyone took a breath of air conditioning. Even if it was made of wood, they could not break the heavy armor even if they cut.
Zhou Hao planned to build a team of shamans to restrain the Mongolian cavalry.
Because the Southern Song Dynasty lacked war horses, there would be no cavalry without horses.
Xiaoyu has already started to send people to build a horse farm and has also sent a caravan to Dali to buy war horses.
However, Xiaoyu also proposed another method, which is the kind of people who build chariots and use people to push them.
A chariot can deal with at least ten cavalrymen.
She can create advanced bearings to make the chariot move more silky.
It takes time to form a cavalry, and now it is just a city defense, so there is no need for too many cavalry for the time being.
Therefore, building a chariot is more cost-effective.
Cavalry will be necessary in the future, because Zhou Hao could not have conquered in Xiangyang for twenty years. When the army was established, he would destroy Mongolia and unify the north.
Then all the territory of the early Qing Dynasty was included in the Song Dynasty.
Since you do it, do it thoroughly.
-------------------------------------
Three minutes at the Si hour.
The Mongolian war drums were ringing, and more than a thousand villagers captured by the villages around Xiangyang were driven in front.
This is the Mongolian tactic of siege, with slaves in front of them, and they called the "Hasar Army".
They were all people from other ethnic groups that were plundered. Since they were in the Song Dynasty, they were usually driven away by the Song people.
These slave troops can attract firepower, after all, the arrows used to defend the city will be consumed.
The guard ordered the archery to be shot, wasting the enemy's arrows, but not the one who died.
This is simply perfect.
But if the defenders do not shoot arrows, they will take the opportunity to attack the city with slaves.
Like Guo Jing’s move to open the city gate in the Condor Heroes is basically not the case.
The cavalry cannot rush up to the city wall, but if you open the city gate, they will rush in. At that time, they will directly break the city.
......
Zhou Hao was standing on the city wall at this time, with Guo Jing and Xiaoyu standing on one side on the left and right.
"General, the enemy has entered the range, will the arrow be fired?" someone reported.
Xiaoyu's eyes were just telescopes, and she could tell how many people were sieging the city with a glance.
In the front, more than a thousand people of the Song Dynasty carried ladders to attack the city, followed by two thousand cavalry. Behind the cavalry were more than ten thousand infantry soldiers preparing to attack the city.
As long as the people in front lay the ladders, they will rush up and press up the city wall.
Of course, the first time is usually a test attack.
Guo Jing was stunned and said, "They are all people of the Song Dynasty, how can they shoot arrows!"
The general who reported the report explained: "General Guo, these are the Mongol slaves. We cannot tell whether they really surrendered to the Mongols. If they don't kill them, they will pave the siege for the Mongols."
The general is called Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu said, "The god-arm crossbow shot and killed those carrying siege ladders and those carrying weapons. The others opened the city gate and put them in! Send 300 cavalry out of the city to welcome them!"
The so-called welcome is actually to block the two thousand Mongolian cavalry from rushing to the gate.
If these three hundred cavalrymen were not able to come back in normal battles.
But now it is not a normal world.
Guo Jing: "General, the last general is willing to bring a thousand Beggars' Gang disciples to welcome those people."
Xiaoyu: "Okay!"
Guo Jing got off the city wall and took the thousand Beggar Gang disciples who were on standby and left the city. Most of the Beggar Gang disciples did not ride horses.
Only Guo Jing and a few elders were riding horses, and Huang Rong and the others had not yet arrived in Xiangyang.
The Mongolian cavalry immediately rushed over as they looked like crazy when they saw the city gate open.
At this moment, a black figure rushed out of the city.
It was Liang San, the lucky one, who rushed bravely towards the Mongolian cavalry with a Mo Dao in his hand.
The run was faster than the three hundred cavalry behind.
Bang! He ran too fast and hit the first one right away.
Everyone couldn't help but cover their eyes. Is this going to give away the head?
But those who didn't cover their eyes widened their eyes, and it was not him who ran away.
But the war horse.
The war horse flipped over directly, and the Mongolian cavalry in the air was stabbed by him twice.
The sword in his hand flew up, and in a blink of an eye, all the cavalry around him had fallen.
Liang San himself blocked the Mongolian cavalry's rushing force.
The Great Song cavalry and Beggar Gang disciples rushed up.
Guo Jing rode on the horse, wielding a big knife in his hand to harvest the lives of the Mongolian cavalry.
"War and retreat!" Guo Jing shouted.
Liang San's eyes were red at this time and more than a dozen Mongolian cavalrymen were killed.
He was not injured much, and the Mongol sword could not break his armor at all.
However, it still hurts if he hits it. The pain makes him prone to adrenaline, so he kills red eyes.
Hearing the sound of Guo Jing's internal strength, he also woke up.
Guo Jing and his team retreated and the cavalry began to pursue.
Xiaoyu: "The Divine Arm Camp attacks the additional personnel in the rear!"
The people behind have already chased them within range.
Brush! Thousands of arrows shot out like no money.
There are large iron ore around Xiangyang, so they are not afraid of consumption.
Xiaoyu used Zhou Hao's five elements spell to open the mine, and just need someone to go in and dig it out.
The five elements spells that Zhou Hao discovered were so simple to use for civil engineering.
Pieces of Mongolian soldiers fell to the ground.
-------------------------------------
Mongolian rear camp.
Kublai Khan rode on his horse and watched the battle of the cavalry in front.
He did not expect that the Song Dynasty would open the city gate and dared to take the initiative.
At this time, there was no telescope, so he could only see the cavalry being blocked, and the infantry behind were desperately rushing forward to support.
But the opponent's arrow rain directly covered the enemy's eyes and shot down many soldiers in an instant.
Huodu and King Jinlun stood beside him.
Kublai Khan frowned and said, "National Master, what's going on in the cavalry phalanx?"
According to past experience, the Mongolian cavalry should have rushed to the city gate with unstoppable momentum.
The city gate has been opened, and even if only half of it rushes over, you can temporarily control the city gate and allow reinforcements from behind to enter the city.
But the cavalry was obstructed and failed to achieve success.
King Jinlun: "Prince, I saw a soldier wearing black armor who stopped the cavalry from rushing with one force. Then Guo Jing led some people from the martial arts world to help, which stopped our cavalry!"
Kublai Khan frowned: "Guo Jing? He used to be the marshal of our right-wing army on the Western Expedition!"
King Jinlun nodded: "It's this person who is very skilled in martial arts, and it's no problem to be a hundred Mongolian warriors."
Kublai Khan said in a deep voice: "It seems that he is the biggest concern for me to take Xiangyang. You, the national teacher, have never made any contributions to the south, but you shouldn't have made any contributions!"
He thought that Guo Jing had made great efforts, but in fact, the only one who caused heavy losses to the Mongolian cavalry was an unknown man.
Well, he was once an unknown soldier. After this battle, Liang San's name was known to everyone in the army.
Jin Lun lowered his head and said, "I missed the opportunity to fight! Please punish the prince!"
Kublai Khan shook his head: "The national teacher can make meritorious service after he is guilty!"
Huo felt a little disgusted when he heard this. He was pointing at the mulberry tree.
Because he is better than the national teacher, he also took the lead in attending the hero conference.
If it weren't for killing Kublai Khan, his mission would have failed, and he would have killed this native long ago.
In his mission, there is a way to accelerate the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty, which is actually to accelerate the destruction of Xiangyang City.
If he kills his own lucky person, he will likely ruin the national fortune of the Mongol Yuan.
Then, one will rise and the other will decline, and maybe even the Southern Song Dynasty will not be able to defeat it.
So even for the main mission, you cannot kill it.
