Chapter 272 The old appearance of the country, may it have a new look?(1/2)
Rumble!!
A sound of shaking the mountain sounded, and it came out on the ancient Chongqing Prefecture wall.
It was a sensation caused by the cannons pulled out by the Mongolian and Yuan army that exploded on the city wall.
The Mongol Empire, which annexed the Jin Dynasty and dominated the northern continent, was no longer the nomadic people galloping on the grasslands.
Now, not only are they powerfully sweeping the battlefield, but their military strength and advanced firearms are among the forefront of this era. Even the Southern Song Dynasty court, known for its ingenious craftsmen, may not be as powerful as the Mongol cannon in terms of military firearms.
"Not good, it's artillery attacking the city!"
"Junior sister, the Mongolians outside the city have even brought cannons. I'm afraid this Chongqing Prefecture can't be saved. Let's go back to Xiangyang as soon as possible!"
Wu Dunru, who was standing calmly next to him and had a strong aura, couldn't hold back now.
They had seen the power of this Mongolian cannon in Xiangyang long ago.
That is no longer a weapon that human power and martial arts masters can withstand. Even if they are like their master Guo Jing, the world's five masters who have become the eighteen palms of the dragon subduing, they will probably have to be resentful on the spot if they are really hit by that cannon!
After one shot, fireworks will burn the sky and destroy the city and mountains, but it’s just a matter of time!
Fortunately, Xiangyang City has been a fortress on the front line since ancient times, with deep walls that are easy to defend but difficult to attack. In addition, the Southern Song Dynasty court in the rear has devoted all its strength to provide assistance to the public. The soldiers, soldiers and civilians in the city have sacrificed their lives to fight to the death, and this has made it difficult to save the lonely city without losing it.
Any mistakes made in this world would have happened, and this lonely city would have been in an accident and fell under the iron hoof outside the frontier.
But even so, the troops in Xiangyang City were consumed by several large and small battles, and it was no longer possible to persevere. Otherwise, Guo Jing would not have sent Guo Xiang and two close disciples to this place in Sichuan and Shu for help.
In fact, they were asking for help, but in fact they wanted to send out these two disciples and their young daughters, so as not to suffer the disaster of the city and the family.
Guo Jing has reached the point where he has seen the reality clearly. He has long since he has no hope of defending Xiangyang.
"Don't say too much, two senior brothers."
"Even if you return to Xiangyang at this time, you will just change to another battlefield. Now on the front line of the Central Plains, where is there a scene of war and people living in poverty?"
"Now even this Sichuan and Shu area has been attacked by Yuanting so fiercely. What's the difference between whether we can return to Xiangyang City? The power of a person is extremely thin, and even if we return to Xiangyang, it will be of little use to the overall situation."
"Chongqing Prefecture is now at a critical moment of war. Since we are here, we must do our part in this Chongqing Prefecture to resist foreign bandits together. Only in this way can we live up to our father's teachings and the people's expectations."
Swish!
Unlike the two senior brothers next to him, Guo Xiang, the yellow-clothed man, pulled out the cold iron sword in his hand without hesitation, and took advantage of the sharpness of the sword and spoke to the two senior brothers without hesitation.
Compared with the two middle-aged senior brothers, Guo Xiang looked younger, but after two decades, she was no longer the innocent girl she used to be. Now she is a master who combines her parents' martial arts skills. She is even better than both senior brothers in terms of strength.
Under the influence of his father's ears and eyes, the 29-year-old Guo Xiang has long been extremely tough.
She admired Yang Guo, but the young man Mu Ai had long been abandoned by him in the face of danger in this country.
Since she was traveling at the age of sixteen, Guo Xiang has been traveling around the world and has failed to succeed. How could she not know that Yang Guo is deliberately avoiding her?
After a full ten years of travel, Guo Xiang had already seen through what Yang Guo was thinking.
Nowadays, she is only one step away from completely letting go of her love when she was young.
When Xiangyang was in a hurry and the country was in danger of survival, Guo Xiang, who received the news, simply stopped obsessing with Yang Guo's traces, but resolutely went north to return to his father Guo Jing, standing with him, and fighting against foreign enemies in the country.
It has been three years since today, and the reputation of being a woman in Xiangyang City is as good as a woman, has been spread throughout this surrounding anti-Yuan area.
"Well said!"
Seeing Wu Dunru saying something, Wu Xiuwen was speechless and speechless, Zhang Sanfeng was wearing a white Taoist robe, with a smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and immediately exclaimed with praise.
"I am worthy of being the beloved daughter of the leader of Guo Jing and Guo. If Miss Guo has such an opinion, she should live up to your parents' name!"
"In my opinion, I have already surpassed Laner!"
The old Taoist priest's strong tone was filled with admiration, which made Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen next to him feel embarrassed.
Fortunately, in the middle of the year and the long-term resistance to the Yuan Dynasty, the two young boys finally matured after training, so they would no longer do anything impetuous and embarrassing as before.
"Senior, praise it."
"At this moment, Yuanting attacked the city, my two senior brothers and I were about to go to the front line and help the Chongqing defenders with their help. We can't continue chatting with you here."
"You are so old, so you should find a secluded place to cultivate well and wait for the best news on the front line."
Hearing Zhang Sanfeng's praise, Guo Xiang turned his head and smiled, and said with some concern after holding his sword and holding his fist at Zhang Sanfeng.
Although the white-browed Taoist priest in front of him said that he had never seen him before, Guo Xiang still felt familiar with him.
Out of this familiarity, she kindly reminded Zhang Sanfeng to avoid any accidents.
But the white-browed Taoist in front of him didn't seem to appreciate it... Wait, is this?!
While Guo Xiang was thinking about it, he seemed to see something incredible. His beautiful eyes suddenly stared at the boss, staring at the white-browed Taoist in front of him, with a shocked face.
Following her gaze, I saw Zhang Sanfeng, who was originally ordinary and even kind in his eyebrows and eyes, rolling up in an instant, making his Taoist robe and sleeves swell up.
Coupled with the continuous rushing of the Baimei Taoist, the true energy that was as majestic as the river and sea, seemed to look like a master!
"Who is your sacred place with such a great cultivation level?"
Unlike Guo Xiang's shock, Wu Xiuwen and Wu Dunru next to him were stunned and immediately took a step forward and asked Zhang Sanfeng with some vigilance.
Such profound internal skills and Taoism, even if their master Guo Jing personally came, I am afraid that this would be the case!
You should know that Guo Jing, who has achieved the eighteen palms of the Dragon Subduing, is the top master of the Central Plains, and ranks one of the five great masters in the world!
How can an existence with internal functions comparable to their masters be an unknown person in this Central Plains?
The unknown old Taoist priest in front of him said that he was a mountain man, but his strength, coupled with his mountain identity, became a little eye-catching in an instant!
Seeing Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen who were a little nervous and had a look of alert, Zhang Sanfeng immediately burst into laughter.
"I am from Wudang, and my Taoist name is Sanfeng. There is a casual Taoist in the mountains and fields."
"I met you by chance this time, because I was fate. Now there is a foreign iron hoof going south. Can the three fellow Taoists be willing to go with me to fight against foreign enemies and protect the safety of the country?"
The old Taoist priest's true energy was rolling like a river and sea, his feet were already three inches away from the ground, and his hair was flying and his clothes were flying. His style was almost the same as that of the gods. With a bold speech, he could not even say the words of the big and small martial artists with alert eyes.
Guo Xiang, a woman in yellow, took the lead in recovering from the shock, walked past the two senior brothers, looked directly at the white-eyed Taoist, and bowed solemnly:
"I originally thought that my senior was just an ordinary person, so I offended him a lot. Please forgive me."
"Since Sanfeng Zhenren is willing to help the Chongqing Prefecture and fight against the foreign enemies of the Mongolian Yuan, Guo Xiang will thank the people of the whole city for their help!"
Having seen the martial arts cultivation of his father Guo Jing, Guo Xiang knew deeply what role could such a powerful man of a master level play in a war.
It is no false to kill the enemy general's head among the thousands of troops!
Why was Yang Guo, the hero who was once famous all over the world?
Isn’t it because he killed the Mongolian Khan with flying stones in the crowded Mongolian army, which won several years of respite for the Central Plains!
Such a strong man is willing to rush to help Chongqing Prefecture, so Chongqing Prefecture, which had the chance of winning, had already had the possibility of winning!
"The wolf smoke has burned in the distance, and the sound of artillery fire has sounded one after another. I guess the Mongols have already started to attack the city."
"Not later, I will take the lead to help the Chongqing prefecture army fight back against the enemy, wait until the war is understood, and then chat with the three of you."
"Go away with the old man!"
The true energy on his feet flowed out of a whirlpool. The next moment, Zhang Sanfeng suddenly stepped on the void and stepped straight into the sky. He took a few steps in the air and disappeared in front of Wu and Guo Xiang.
Waste in the air!
Zhang Sanfeng actually retained most of his strength in front of Guo Xiang. He did not directly turn into light and flew away, but chose to go in the air.
But even so, it still left a great influence in front of the woman in yellow and the big and small martial arts, which made the pace they had originally started stagnant.
What is the best and most advanced light body technique and light skills in the world that can be used to control the wind and wander between the world and nothingness?
Is this still the point where martial arts can do it?!
They have seen masters who have crossed several feet in one step and walked through the eaves and walls before, but the scene like Zhang Sanfeng that came from the myth really shocked Guo Xiang and Wu Xiao and Wu Xiao.
In addition to the five great masters in the world evaluated by the Huashan Sword Competition, there are such laity masters in the world who do not admire their reputation!
Today, I have gained some knowledge.
......
Zhang Jue held a knife and showed his heroic armor. He stood inside the city wall of Chongqing, his eyebrows and eyes were frowned tightly, and he listened to the constant sound of artillery fire outside the city.
He, Zhang Jue and Zhang Junyu, joined the border at the age of 18, fought with the Mongolian Tartars continuously. Over the past decades, he killed countless brave and war-hardened soldiers of Mongolia, and killed countless rebel Xiang Shang, who sold his country and sought honor. He guarded the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, and killed the Mongolian army with great majesty!
But today, the tens of thousands of Mongolian troops outside the city, coupled with the dozens of iron cannons pulled out, made Zhang Junyu, who was known as the Sichuan general, feel sad.
The veterans in the city had broken armor and their weapons were dull. After more than ten years of war, they only had more than 10,000 people. Whether in terms of weapons or numbers, they were far inferior to the Mongolian Tartars outside the city!
Bang!!
Another cannon sounded, and the city wall was finally unable to bear the burden for a long time, and a shocking hole was blown out by the cannon!
"General, the city wall is about to collapse!"
The choking smoke of fireworks spread around, and a dusty guard immediately surrounded Zhang Jue and shouted anxiously.
"Damn..."
Zhang Jue stared at the broken hole tightly and cursed in his heart.
Although I had known that the city wall could not be defended, Zhang Jue did not expect that he would be bombarded by the Mongolian artillery so soon.
To be continued...
