"Haha! Good, Polu!" Yang Guo exclaimed loudly at the top of the city. He had long disliked Liu Zhengji. If he hadn't had a chance, he would have killed this person long ago. Now Guo Polu shot him down with an arrow. With Liu Zhengru this year, even if he didn't die, he would have lived a few years. He can be said to have made great contributions.

Next to him, Guo Polu saw Liu Zheng and his group leaving, and put down his bow and arrow with some regret. If Liu Zheng had been dismissed in front of Xiangyang City five years ago, someone would have rushed out of the city. Even if Liu Zheng was not shot, he would definitely not be able to escape. However, at this point, although Xiangyang City could barely defend, he could no longer attack and could only watch Liu Zheng being taken away by his personal soldiers.

On the other side, Lu Wenhuan was also shocked when he saw Liu Jin falling down. His original intention was to scare Liu Jin. He hadn't thought about actually killing him. Now, seeing that he was shot down by Guo Polu, he was a little worried in his heart for some reason and thought: "If Liu Jin died, the Mongols shouldn't be angry, right? He is a Han general and shouldn't be angry with the Mongols." However, thinking that Liu Jin was the deputy commander of the Mongolian Southern Expedition Army this time and the commander of the navy, he could be said to be second only to A Shu and Ali Hague, and he was a little confused. I wonder if the Mongols would be angry about this.

When he had something to do, Lu Wenhuan handed over all the things to Guo Jing, and returned to the mansion with his confidant generals with great concern. When Huang Rong and Zhu Ziliu saw them, they shook their heads secretly, knowing that the nominal supreme commander of Xiangyang City was afraid that they had already surrendered. Zhu Ziliu said: "God of Guo, it's not appropriate to be late. The Mongols suffered a lot of losses today, and they happened to take the opportunity to break through the siege in the early morning of tomorrow. If you want to... leave this Xiangyang City to Lu!"

Guo Jing was silent when he heard this, but just waved his hand. He asked Zhu Ziliu to go and arrange it, but he was alone on the Xiangyang city walls. He seemed to have a clear record of the city walls he had guarded for decades.

Seeing this, Zhu Ziliu sighed. He knew that Guo Jing was still a little reluctant to leave Xiangyang. He also stayed here for decades, but he never forgot about Xiangyang. However, when he thought of his son, his disciple, and a group of friends who stayed in Xiangyang, he had to cheer up and try his best to arrange this matter.

"Cry!" In the evening, there was a sound of divine sound in the sky, and another package fell from it. However, it was Zhang Junbao who escorted Bai Diao. Finally, he brought the elixir, and Fang Zhixing and Huang Yaoshi's arrangements for breaking through, so that everyone in Xiangyang would prepare for breaking through the siege in the near future. Yang Guo, Guo Polu and others were all very happy when they saw it, and did it one by one. People who were not seriously injured in the city also used elixirs to take them away together in the future.

Everyone was preparing in the city, but the Mongolians outside the city were not idle either. At night, a soldier on duty suddenly reported the news. It was said that the Mongolians lit a torch outside the city, as if they were about to attack the city overnight, which surprised everyone. They hurriedly got up to check.

When they arrived on the city wall, Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others looked out and saw that the Mongols drove Han soldiers to continuously carry stones next to wooden frames, and they didn't know what the purpose was.

"That wooden frame should be what Brother Fang said about Huihui cannon. It seems that the Mongols will never give up until they conquer Xiangyang. I am afraid that the matter we want to break through tonight is also hanging!" Zhu Ziliu said. Everyone originally wanted to break through tonight when the Mongols were unprepared. But now the outside of Xiangyang City was illuminated by the Mongols with torches, and many people were holding their bows aside. The possibility of a successful breakthrough can be said to be slim, how can we take risks here?

Looking at the Mongolians waiting for battle under the city, Guo Jing nodded slightly and said, "The Mongols are prepared for the breakout tonight. Even if they succeed in breaking through tonight, they are afraid that the losses will be significant. It seems that they can only wait for the future. Polu, send a signal and cancel the operation tonight." In the evening, in addition to the elixirs and information, the supplies sent by Bai Diao also had several arrows to send signals and point out the direction at night.

Upon hearing this, Guo Polu immediately found the signal of cancellation and sent it out somewhere in Xiangyang City. Not long after, an arrow rose outside the city, exactly the same as what Guo Polu had called, obviously the same meaning. Seeing this, Guo Polu said: "My master also agreed to cancel the breakout tonight, let us look for opportunities in the city, and he is always on standby."

Under the city, the Mongols saw the signals sent by both sides, and were a little confused. When they saw the people on the top of the city, they even speculated that they might want to destroy the Huihui cannon being built. They hurriedly returned to the camp and pulled out some people to protect them. Seeing this, Guo Jing's thought of destroying the Huihui cannon by night was completely hidden in his heart, and he discussed with everyone how to defend the city in the sun. The Huihui cannon was powerful, and the hundreds of kilograms of huge rocks emitted could break through the Xiangyang city walls. They could not be careless.

The Huihui Cannon was far away. In addition to a few intact bed crossbows in Xiangyang City, even the Divine Arm Bow could not be shot. Everyone discussed overnight, but only moved the bed crossbows from other places to the southeast direction, and created more arrows overnight to deal with this Huihui Cannon that fired huge rocks.

The next day, just as the sky was dawn, a trumpet sounded another horn outside Xiangyang City, but no Mongols attacked the city. After several times, no one came forward until it was dawn, but he just gathered in the southeast. Seeing this, everyone in Xiangyang City knew that the Mongols wanted to use Huihua cannons to attack the city, and they could not help but gather in the southeast of the city wall.

"The Tartars are so arrogant and too rude. Do they firmly believe that this Hui cannon will definitely break through the Xiangyang city wall? Humph!" Seeing the scene outside the city, Elder Wu of the Beggar Gang snorted coldly and said. Although he had heard of Hui cannon bombarding Fancheng, he did not believe that this kind of catapult could really break through the Xiangyang city wall that had been repaired for decades. He was extremely unhappy about the Mongols' approach. Regarding the strength of the city, Xiangyang City is the best in the world, and even Fancheng, which is also a strong city, is far from comparable.

"If you can't break the city wall, you can break the hearts of the people!" Yang Guoyou said. He was also very confident in the city walls of Xiangyang, but he was not so relieved about some people in the city. Even if the Mongols could not break the city walls for a while, as long as they showed their strength to break the city walls, they were afraid that Lu Wenhuan and others would be eager to surrender. The Mongols built Hui Hui cannons at the best place in the southeast of the city, but I was afraid that this was the intention.

Upon hearing this, everyone was a little silent when they thought of the incident of shooting Liu Zheng yesterday. Not only did Yang Guo have no confidence in Lu Wenhuan, but every person in the Jianghu City in Xiangyang had almost no confidence in him at this time. If it weren't for this, the breakthrough would not have been deliberately hidden from this person. Even Guo Jing was the same in his heart. (To be continued)
