Chapter 90 Surround and kill thousands of troops!

Flames rise and blood shines into the sky!

"kill!"

Li Yuan was cold-faced and kept giving orders.

The Jianghu people stepped forward and stood on the foundation stone of the towering city wall, violently launching wave after wave of attacks that had been prepared for a long time.

From the beginning of the battle to now, in less than a cup of tea, a total of five waves of fire arrows have fallen.

There were countless rolling stones and falling trees.

A total of tens of thousands of fire arrows with cotton wool and fuel arrows were shot out regardless of the cost. Covered in a rain of fire, the number of casualties in the Mongolian army exceeded 30,000 in the blink of an eye!

At this time, Mengge Khan stared with his small eyes and opened his mouth. Facing such a siege, manpower was simply unable to resist.

We can only risk our lives to block it!

After losing many elites, Mengge Khan finally organized the Mongolian army in panic and began to let the crossbowmen use bows and arrows to counterattack the Central Plains martial arts people who were surrounded on the city wall.

At the same time, he quickly ordered the infantry to advance, find steps to climb the city wall, and control the high point on the city wall.

Because they live in the grasslands all year round, Mongolian soldiers usually have three proficient skills, one is archery, the other is horseback riding, and the third is wrestling.

The crossbowmen under Meng Ge Khan are naturally all masters of archery, and they also hold well-equipped strong bows and crossbows.

As far as archery is concerned, they are much better than the martial arts people from the Central Plains.

If they were placed on the plains at this moment, and the two sides were arrayed and shooting at each other, Li Yuan would even feel that the martial arts people on his side would not be able to survive a single round, and they would be quickly shot into pieces by the crossbowmen of the Mongolian army.

But things are different now.

Li Yuan and others were standing on a city wall eight or nine meters high. This was a favorable location.

The countless Central Plains martial arts people standing on the city wall do not need them to have much archery skills, nor do they need to have well-equipped bows and arrows. They only need them to be able to throw things downwards.

Even after the first few waves of fire arrows were fired, they didn't even use bows and arrows in the chaotic battlefield. They could easily cause damage by throwing torches and bricks at the Mongolian army below.

The Mongolian crossbowmen below not only had to be wary of the various weapons projected from above, but also used all their strength to aim and shoot upwards.

Maybe with better luck they can let the bows and arrows shoot through the bunkers on the city wall to the martial arts people in the Central Plains.

No matter how good the archery skills of the crossbowmen of the Mongolian army are and how sophisticated their crossbows are, they will still be unable to cause huge damage to the martial arts warriors on the city wall at this time.

This is the simplest and most effective method of using the high to defeat the low and the weak defeating the strong!

The Mongolian army was besieged in the city and could only brave the attack from above.

"Hurry up and capture the high point of the city wall!" Brother Meng roared loudly after seeing the situation clearly.

Immediately, a large number of Mongolian infantry formed a battle formation and began to charge on the stairs of the upper city wall in Xiangyang City.

Thousands of martial arts warriors guarding the steps were unable to stop the charging formation of the Mongolian infantry. After just one encounter, they were smashed into pieces and hurriedly retreated towards the top of the city wall.

This is the fundamental difference between soldiers and martial arts people.

If a martial artist and a soldier are picked out separately, perhaps those martial arts practitioners who master different martial arts can subdue the soldier.

But when combined together it's different.

Soldiers train all day long and coordinate with each other in column formations. Their daily life is dedicated to preparing for battlefield combat.

The thousands of martial arts people guarding the stairs on Li Yuan's side were originally people from various sects who had gathered temporarily today, and there was no cooperation at all between them.

Therefore, the battlefield cooperation between these martial arts figures can only be described as unsatisfactory.

The infantry on the Mongolian side was well trained.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in a charge formation like a long dragon. They faced the offensive and used scimitars and bucklers to attack, instantly sweeping away countless martial arts warriors guarding the stairs.

Soon, several steps leading up to the city wall in Xiangyang City showed a tendency to be captured by these fearless Mongolian infantry.

Meng Ge Khan stood under the protection of hundreds of personal guards, the anger in his eyes rising continuously.

While dodging various projectiles from the martial arts men on the city wall, he stared intently at Li Yuan, who was standing at the front of the city wall.

Although this was his first time meeting Li Yuan, he had already guessed Li Yuan's identity.

Jinlun Dharma King had described Li Yuan's appearance to him before, but Mengge Khan didn't care at that time, thinking that Li Yuan was just a martial arts boy from the Central Plains who knew some kung fu.

It wasn't until today that he realized how powerful Li Yuan was!

Li Yuan's appearance has been engraved on Meng Ge Khan's heart like a sharp knife!

Meng Ge spent his whole life conquering the east and west, conquering the south and the north, and he was unparalleled in bravery. Since the rise of Mongolia, when has he ever suffered such a big loss?

But now, his majestic Khan is trapped in Xiangyang City with a 120,000 Mongolian army by a boy who is no more than 17 or 18 years old!

This is a huge shame for him!

Mengge Khan now wanted to cut Li Yuan's body into thousands of pieces and eat his flesh raw to satisfy his hatred.

He yelled to his men: "Capture the city wall quickly, we can turn defeat into victory!"

Li Yuan also noticed Meng Ge Khan's eyes at this time.

The burning smoke and the smelly blood mixed together, forming a battlefield-like smell that rushed straight into Li Yuan's nasal cavity.

Li Yuan's vision went straight across the chaotic battlefield below and met Meng Ge's eyes.

Meng Ge Khan's eyes at this time were like the aloof wolf king on the grassland, his eyes were staring at him, the hatred and killing intent in his eyes were undisguised.

This is a long-planned war.

Since it is a war, there will be winners and losers.

In order to prepare for today's battle, Li Yuan could be said to have done everything possible. Against all opinions, he proposed a plan to introduce the Mongolian army into Xiangyang City.

In the eyes of Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others, this undoubtedly attracted the wolf into the house.

If we fail to win this battle today, Xiangyang City will be completely lost, and the Southern Song Dynasty will usher in its demise early. Of course, Li Yuan's world mission will also fail.

Li Yuan stood at the highest point of the city wall, bathing in the noisy night wind, with a confident smile on his face.

Since he dared to lure the wolf into the house, he was ready to close the door and beat the dog!

I saw Li Yuan wave his left hand.

Countless martial artists standing on the city wall immediately understood and pushed barrels containing flammable materials such as coal and lamp oil out along the many steps leading up to the city wall.

The lamp oil above these wooden barrels had long been ignited by martial artists. As they were pushed down the stone steps and rolled down, with the violent collision, each wooden barrel turned into muffled thunder and exploded.

Fire instantly spread all over the stone steps leading up to the city wall.

The Mongolian infantry who were charging forward were suddenly forced back step by step by these explosive barrels. Even the bravest soldiers were unable to cross the wall of fire for a while.

After blocking the attacking Mongolian infantry, Li Yuan continued to command the martial arts men unhurriedly, releasing fire arrows and other long-range projectile weapons on the city wall.

When Meng Ge Khan saw this scene, it was clear that flames were steaming everywhere in Xiangyang City, but the temperature in his heart dropped to freezing point.

The depths of his eyes were filled with despair.

For today's battle, Li Yuan and others are fully prepared, and the defeat of the Mongolian army has been determined!
