God of martial arts

　　Therefore, Zhao Xuan did not attack directly recklessly, instead, he waited for Mongolia to attack the city.

　　After all, it is undoubtedly the best way to use city defense to reduce the loss of one's own side and consume more enemies.

　　As long as the Mongols attack the city and consume one-third of their troops, the Song Dynasty will win this battle.

　　If half of the combat power is consumed, Da Song can easily win.

　　Since the Song Dynasty's reinforcements arrived at night, Mongolia did not know how many arrived.

　　Similarly, whether the Mongolian reinforcements have arrived, and how many have arrived, Da Song is not sure!

　　Therefore, Zhao Xuan couldn't be reckless.

　　After all, the Mongolian soldiers are strong and strong, even if these 10 elites die, they can make a comeback.

　　But the Song Dynasty is different. Once the [-] elites are defeated, the Song Dynasty may no longer have much strength to resist the Mongolian cavalry.

　　It can be said that the problem Zhao Xuan faced was not how to defeat Kublai Khan, but how to defeat Kublai Khan perfectly, and destroy all of Kublai Khan's elite at the lowest cost!

　　That's right, what Zhao Xuan wants is to destroy them all!

　　In the past few days, although neither side took the initiative to attack, the atmosphere was very depressed.

　　Everyone knows that the current peace is only temporary.

　　And war is eternal, but once a war starts, it will be a comprehensive battle of life and death, a battle of destiny 4.6!

　　On the tenth day, the Mongolian army marched out in an all-round way, approaching Xiangyang City.

　　On the Song side, they are also ready for battle, with swords drawn.

　　Total war, officially opened!

　　Standing on the city wall, Zhao Xuan looked at the dark Mongolian army in the distance, and felt an atmosphere of black clouds overwhelming the city.

　　Guo Jing on the side couldn't help being surprised: "The Mongolian army is not 20, but [-]!"

　　In an instant, everyone's face changed drastically, and they couldn't help being frightened.

　　The number of troops has doubled, and there are [-] more Mongolian cavalry. Everyone knows what this means.

　　But Zhao Xuan just nodded, as he had expected this.

　　Kublai Khan is a hero of the generation, it is impossible to wait for the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty to arrive, but he himself is indifferent. .

Chapter 143 Teach Kublai Khan to be a man!

　　Kublai Khan is a hero of the generation, it is impossible to wait for the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty to arrive, but he himself is indifferent.

　　On the contrary, Kublai Khan gathered all the southern expedition troops under his command here!

　　After taking Xiangyang City, the road ahead is flat, and there is no big obstacle in the southern expedition.

　　But if you can't win, this is the first battle, and your momentum will be greatly damaged!

　　Therefore, Kublai Khan chose 20 Mongolian troops to attack in an all-round way!

　　This is the battle of Xiangyang, but also the battle of fate!

　　20 Mongolian iron cavalry headed straight to Xiangyang City, dusty and yellow sand filled the sky!

　　Zhao Xuan stood on the city wall and smiled faintly: "All soldiers and legions, prepare to fight according to the plan!"

　　On the left and right sides, general Meng Gong, Taohuadao Guo Jing, and disciples of Xuanmen nodded their heads one after another.

　　Kublai Khan stood in the army and shouted loudly:

　　"Brothers, take Xiangyang City today, let's go to the city to have fun at night! Sleep in their houses, eat their delicacies, and slaughter their people!"

　　"it is good!"

　　"set off!"

　　In an instant, 20 Mongolian iron cavalry rode out with all their strength, and did not slow down until they were under the city, ready to go.

　　"Siege!"

　　Kublai Khan drew out his saber and went as far as Xiangyang City.

　　The army set off in full swing, approaching straight ahead, but the ones at the front were not the Mongolian soldiers, but the captured Song people.

　　This is an effective trick of the Mongols, using the people of the Song Dynasty as targets, rushing to the front, and acting as a shield.

　　Meng Gong's face changed slightly, and he said decisively: "The archers are ready, let the arrows go!"

　　"No!" Guo Jing immediately retorted: "General Meng, there are hundreds of Song people in front of you. Do you want to shoot them all?"

　　Meng Gong's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Hero Guo, if you don't shoot arrows to block the attack, 20 Mongolian cavalry will be forced to the city, once Xiangyang City is broken, not only 10 elites will die tragically, even the people of Xiangyang City will be doomed. You know, the Mongols like to massacre cities, and in that case, hundreds of thousands of people will die instead of hundreds of thousands! Hero Guo, please focus on the overall situation!"

　　"This..." Guo Jing's face was very ugly, he hesitated a little, but still shook his head: "We will do our best, and there is hope to defend the city. But the people below are our people, we must not shoot arrows!"

　　"You are a woman's benevolence!" Meng Gong said angrily, very angry.

　　For the sake of hundreds of people in the Song Dynasty, at the price of a city of people and a hundred thousand elites, Guo Jing's behavior, in Meng Gong's view, is the benevolence of a woman!

　　"No matter what, you can't kill the people of the Song Dynasty!" Guo Jing continued to be stubborn: "You open the city gate and let the people of the Song Dynasty in. I will stop the Mongolian soldiers behind!"

　　"Okay!" Zhao Xuan said, interrupting the argument between the two: "Wu Shuang, Cheng Ying, bring someone up!"

　　"Yes!"

　　Soon, a hundred Mongolians were brought to the city wall, but they were not Mongolian soldiers, but Mongolian people!

　　"Kublai Khan, look what this is!"

　　Zhao Xuan looked into the distance, using thousands of miles of sound transmission, even if it was tens of miles away, everyone in Mongolia could hear clearly.

　　Kublai Khan looked at the Mongolian people on the city wall of Xiangyang, his face changed drastically.

　　"Kill them all!" Zhao Xuan said coldly.

　　The disciples of the Xuanmen behind him immediately acted.

　　With a knife in his hand, all the corpses of a hundred Mongolian people were separated and fell to the city of Xiangyang.

　　Kublai Khan's eyes were wide open, his breathing was rapid. He pointed at Zhao Xuan, but he couldn't speak.

　　"Kublai Khan, war is war, and if you use the people of the Song Dynasty who have no power to restrain chickens as a shield, then I will send Xuanmen masters to sneak into Mongolia and slaughter you Mongolian people! You kill us, I kill you 100 people. If you kill 100 of us, I will kill 1 of you!"

　　Zhao Xuan said coldly: "I'd like to see whether you have more people in Mongolia, or more people in Song Dynasty!"

　　"You..." Kublai Khan's face was livid with anger, and he broke out in cold sweat.

　　The Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, with its own ethics, and the so-called morality, like Guo Jing.

　　Therefore, Mongolia dared to use the people of the Song Dynasty as a shield, forcing the guards of the Song Dynasty to dare not shoot arrows.

　　Mongolia knows that Song Dynasty will not slaughter Mongolian people, so it will slaughter the city recklessly.

　　Otherwise, if the Great Song Dynasty retaliates with a tooth for a tooth, it will also use the same move to deal with Mongolia, and it will massacre the Mongolian people who have no strength to restrain chickens!

　　The Mongols are so small, how dare they do this?

　　And what Zhao Xuan did today undoubtedly completely subverted Kublai Khan's cognition.

　　Not only did he dare to do it, but he did it directly.

　　These one hundred Mongolian people are the best proof and the best deterrent.

　　"Bring the next batch and continue to kill!"

　　Zhao Xuan spoke again, and another hundred Mongolian people were brought up.

　　Guo Jing next to him changed his face drastically, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Meng Gong beside him.

　　"Kill!" Zhao Xuan said coldly, another hundred Mongolian people died tragically.

　　Seeing the heads and corpses falling one after another, Kublai Khan's eyes were about to split.

　　They were like this, cruel to Song Dynasty in every possible way, using the people as a shield to massacre the city, but they couldn't bear a little bit of retribution.

　　"Quick, quick, quickly remove those Song people and let them go, otherwise that lunatic will continue to kill!"

　　Kublai Khan opened his mouth quickly, completely frightened.

　　The Song Dynasty had a large population of 973, but there were few Mongols.

　　Once this continues, it will even face the danger of genocide.

　　Not to mention the masters of Xuanmen, as long as the Yan Wang gang reaches the rear of Mongolia and massacres the Mongolian people, they will be in danger of extermination!

　　Therefore, Kublai Khan no longer dared to use the people of Song Dynasty as a shield.

　　Seeing this change, Guo Jing was very surprised, with a complicated expression: "They just withdrew like this? I'm afraid I won't dare to do this again in the future..."

　　He never imagined that Zhao Xuan killed two hundred Mongolian people, but saved hundreds of Song people, and even scared Kublai Khan.

　　It can be said that Zhao Xuan is teaching Kublai Khan to be a man!

　　After the people of the Song Dynasty withdrew, the Mongolian soldiers lost their barriers and were completely exposed.

　　"Bow and Arrow Legion, let the arrows go!"

　　Zhao Xuan said.

　　In an instant, [-] archers drew their bows and shot arrows, and the arrows rained down like rain for a while. Before the Mongolian soldiers rushed to the city, one piece after another had already died.

　　Kublai Khan's face changed drastically, and he said decisively: "Shield!"

　　In an instant, the shield soldiers rushed to the front, holding their shields high. The front and above were all shields, airtight, forming absolute protection, covering the advance of the army.

　　However, Da Song's rain of arrows was completely resisted and shot on the shield without any effect at all. .

Chapter 144 One-sided Massacre

　　Kublai Khan couldn't help laughing: "Emperor Xuan, I see what you can do now! Such a long distance, your trebuchet can't reach it at all. When we get close, it will be too late. Let's rush together!" Stab, we are at the bottom of the city! Wait for me to break through the city gate, and you can catch me without a fight!"

　　Zhao Xuan smiled slightly: "Artillery regiment, fire!"

　　As the words fell, the archers scattered on Xiangyang City, and a thousand cannons pushed up, revealing the black barrels.

　　"What is that?" Kublai Khan couldn't help asking, watching from afar.

　　The vanguard general Nuhachi said: "It's like a cannon, but that thing is useful?"

　　In the Southern Song Dynasty, artillery was just in its infancy, and its combat power was limited. It was very tasteless. Not only did it have a short range, but it also had a long cooling time.

　　But these thousand cannons are the result of many years of research by Zhao Xuan's organization of skilled craftsmen in the Southern Song Dynasty.

　　More importantly, Zhao Xuan put forward many constructive requests and opinions based on the artillery of later generations.

　　Therefore, the current artillery is not only powerful, but also has a terrifying range, up to several miles.

　　(Ahem, ancient artillery, this range is already very fierce!)

　　Of course, the cooldown time is also very short, and the reload speed is very fast.

　　"Well, paper tigers, they look good but they don't work!" Kublai Khan nodded 443 and heaved a sigh of relief.

　　But as soon as his words fell, there was a thunderous roar and explosion in front of him.

　　Following the sound, a black cannonball landed on the shield and exploded instantly.

　　boom!

　　A thunderous roar sounded, deafening.

　　And that indestructible shield array was directly blown away, and even the indestructible shield was blown to pieces, and the soldiers below were killed and injured countless times, wailing everywhere.

　　"fire!"

　　Zhao Xuan said again.

　　Artillery Corps, fully fired.

　　The sky is full of black shells, thousands of them, all falling towards the Mongolian army in the distance.

　　boom!

　　boom!

　　boom!

　　With only one saturated artillery attack, the indestructible and densely packed Mongolian shield army formation was blown up to pieces, riddled with holes, and the number of casualties, conservatively estimated, was tens of thousands. In an instant, the entire vanguard army was in chaos. group.
