Author: Heart is hard to imprison ink
"Since it's a punch, we have to take the initiative. Our goal this time is to destroy the Mongolian vanguard army. If there is a chance, we will kill the Mongolian Khan together!"
Li Yuan's world mission this time is to help Guo Jing and Huang Rong garrison Xiangyang City and repel 200,000 Mongolian soldiers.
Therefore, his purpose was very clear. The first was to completely defeat the Mongolian soldiers.
Blindly sticking around and waiting, continuing to allow the Mongols to accumulate power and gradually surrounding Xiangyang City, is tantamount to waiting for death.
In the original work, Yang Guo and Guo Jing killed Meng Ge Khan during the battle with the Mongolian army.
Although such a beheading operation temporarily frightened the Mongolian soldiers, they did not retreat completely after all, but chose to set up camp further away from Xiangyang City.
After the high-level power struggle in Mongolia was over and a new khan was elected, these armies immediately gathered and launched another attack on Xiangyang City.
Guo Jing and Huang Rong eventually died in the battle to defend Xiangyang City.
Li Yuan knew very well that only by taking the initiative to inflict a heavy blow that the Mongolian side could not afford, could they truly retreat.
Now is the perfect time!
In the Mongol camp.
Meng Ge Khan listened to Xiao Xiangzi's report, and the expression on his face seemed a little moved.
"Are you saying that King Jinlun has already controlled all the top leaders of the Central Plains martial arts community? Now as long as we attack the city, he can cooperate with my army inside and outside to easily capture Xiangyang City?"
Xiaoxiangzi nodded.
Although at this moment he really wanted to betray Li Yuan in exchange for benefits.
But for some reason, he suddenly remembered Li Yuan's confident appearance and his seventy-year-old father from his hometown in western Hunan, so he suppressed this idea.
Mengge Khan thought again and again.
He conquered the north and south and fought countless battles in his life, so he naturally knew the principles of using troops to fight.
Now the Mongolian side is still some time away from completely surrounding Xiangyang City. All kinds of food and supplies have not yet been fully replenished, and important siege equipment such as catapults have not yet been prepared.
Now when attacking Xiangyang City, although the Mongolian side has more people, it is the weakest among the weak.
Under such circumstances, attacking a city is like hitting a stone with an egg. Even the Mongolian cavalry is unparalleled in the world and will easily be defeated.
But if there are internal forces in the city who can cooperate with his army inside and outside, then the situation will be completely different.
Mengge Khan made a decision immediately.
"Okay, then we will assemble the army and launch a surprise attack on Xiangyang City tonight! Xiaoxiangzi, go and inform Jinlun Dharma King and ask him to open the gate of Xiangyang City at midnight tonight."
Meng Ge Khan has sophisticated methods.
He understood that if he allowed King Jinlun to open the gate of Xiangyang City tonight under the cover of darkness and the Mongolian cavalry drove in, Xiangyang City would be easily captured.
But what he didn't know was that King Jinlun had died under Li Yuan's sword long ago, and Xiaoxiangzi in front of him had also rebelled long ago.
Waiting for his Mongolian army will be tens of thousands of Central Plains martial arts people who are ready to fight.
At night.
There were no stars or moon in the sky, and thick dark clouds blocked out all the light. One or two bald crows faintly flew over the walls of Xiangyang City, making an unpleasant cry.
On the vast plains a few miles away from Xiangyang City.
Mengge Khan wore armor and rode a war horse, and personally led an army of 120,000 Mongolian vanguards to gather here.
Looking at the sky tonight, Meng Ge Khan was quite satisfied: "God is really helping me!"
Near the end of the day, he gave an order, and the 120,000 Mongolian troops quickly moved forward in the dark and rushed to Xiangyang City.
When approaching Xiangyang City, Mengge Khan made some observations for the sake of caution.
Mengge Khan found that there were almost no defenders in Xiangyang City, and not even one or two patrolling soldiers could be seen on the city wall.
The entire Xiangyang City stood in darkness, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dead.
Mengge Khan suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. His intuition from many years of fighting told him that Xiangyang City was too quiet tonight.
It's a little unusual to be quiet.
But now the time came to midnight, and with a creak, the two thick city gates under Xiangyang City slowly opened.
"King Jin Lun Dharma King has finally played some role!"
Mengge Khan looked at the gates of Xiangyang City wide open, and all the strange feelings in his heart immediately disappeared, and his eyes became hot.
The great thing about Xiangyang City is that it is surrounded by water on three sides and backed by mountains on one side. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, once the city gate is opened, these terrain advantages will be gone!
Xiangyang City is located in a dangerous pass in the Southern Song Dynasty. Once Xiangyang is captured, the Mongolian army can march from Xiangyang City and directly take the Central Plains!
With the grand plan of the world right in front of his eyes, Meng Ge Khan narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he had already seen him becoming the co-owner of the world.
Then he waved his hands, and the 120,000 Mongolian troops formed a neat battle formation and quickly rushed into the city.
A hundred and twenty thousand troops entered the city.
Meng Ge Khan was located in the center of the army and was protected by elite cavalry guards.
But the deeper they went into Xiangyang City, the more confused Meng Ge Khan's eyes became.
Although it was already midnight, Xiangyang City was too quiet.
Not only were there no candles in the houses on several streets in the city, but even the restaurants, gourmet bars, casinos and other places that should be busy at night were silent.
Meng Ge Khan asked the scout on the side: "Have you contacted the Golden Wheel Dharma King?"
"Back to Khan, there were scouts who sent a secret message to King Jinlun before entering the city, but there has been no reply yet."
Meng Ge Khan frowned tightly.
Suddenly, an alarm bell rang in his heart, and he shouted to the bodyguard beside him: "Immediately give the order to have the army withdraw from Xiangyang City!"
But it's too late now!
Just as Meng Ge Khan ordered the retreat, streaks of fire lit up on the walls surrounding Xiangyang City.
Tens of thousands of blazing torches illuminated the entire Xiangyang City like daylight.
I saw Li Yuan standing on the top of the city wall of Xiangyang City, and about 30,000 martial arts people stood around Li Yuan.
Li Yuan raised his right hand, clenched his fist slightly, and swung it down suddenly.
Countless martial artists around him immediately aimed at the Mongolian army with long and short bows, rolling stones and rough wood, oil paper fire bombs, and various long-range throwing objects, and launched them fiercely.
In just a short moment, smoke and fire filled the sky!
The 120,000 Mongolian army was directly trapped in the sea of fire. In one encounter, the Mongolian side lost at least tens of thousands of soldiers!
Meng Ge's army was shocked. They were obviously caught off guard.
Roars, burning sounds, screams, and explosions. All kinds of sounds mixed together.
Meng Ge Khan did not expect that the martial arts people in the Central Plains would unite, and he also did not expect that Li Yuan would be so courageous and dare to resort to the trick of inviting you to the urn!
"Break out! Break out quickly! Leave Xiangyang City!" He shouted almost heartbreakingly.
The remaining Mongolian army received orders from Meng Ge and tried to break out from the sea of fire.
However, Li Yuan had already arranged for tens of thousands of other martial arts people to block the city gate entering the city, the back gate exiting the city, and several side gates.
Standing on the city wall, the martial arts people from the Central Plains showed no mercy.
Various fire arrows, rolling stones, oil and water packets and other things continued to fall from the high city walls.
Even though the Mongolian cavalry were unparalleled in battle, they were trapped in Xiangyang City, and their best charge formation could not be used at all!
You can only take endless beatings!
