Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself.

(In the hospital, refreshed every half hour.)

"The Mongols invaded again?"

The sound of war drums was heard.

People on the road were also stunned, and everyone stopped in unison. Everyone knew the Mongols were invading the moment they heard the war drums. However, what is surprising is that after people knew that it was the Mongolian invasion, they did not show any panic expressions, not even a little bit of panic. Even ordinary people who were not in the martial arts world were like this. Very calm, as if he was already used to what was happening in front of him!

This also indirectly shows that the frequency of Mongolian invasions during this period was really too high. So much so that even ordinary people don't care at all. And even ordinary people can be sure that the Mongols cannot take down the Xiangyang defense line at all, so they are so calm and don't even feel a little panic.

However, not panicking does not mean that there is no preparation. As the sound of fine iron bells rang, the melodious bells spread throughout the city. A large number of soldiers and people in battle armor quickly moved towards the city wall. Approaching, they quickly climbed up the city wall or mounted their horses to reach the designated location. Once the Mongols really start to attack Xiangyang City, they will fight back without hesitation.

A huge crossbow with a length of more than three or four meters was also pulled up the city wall.

Bow and arrow.

The arrow points straight to the distant horizon.

More people appeared on the city wall. Many people who looked like they were wearing ordinary people's clothing also went home and put on their battle armor and ran towards the city wall.

As the first line of defense against the Mongolian invasion, Xiangyang City actually has a complete set of defensive measures in place over the years. It will not issue a warning when encountering a Mongolian squad or thousands of troops approaching for investigation. commanded.

A secret sentry responsible for monitoring outside the city.

The news will be transmitted back to the city through flying pigeon transmission and other methods as soon as possible, so that the city can dispatch corresponding robbery and killing teams to carry out the robbery and killing. In fact, it is absolutely impossible for those small Mongolian troops to get close to Xiangyang City, not even close to the edge of Xiangyang City.

They would be driven out or slaughtered, and their heads would be hung on Xiangyang City as a way to frighten the Mongols.

This should be a level 1 alert.

When this kind of alarm occurs, most people in Xiangyang City will not know what is happening. At most, they will see some fully armed cavalry rushing out from the main gate, and then coming back covered in blood, followed by Dozens or hundreds of Mongolian military horses.

And when the second alarm occurs.

There will be dense crowds of archers on the city wall. These archers are squatting on the city wall like ants, and the gates of Xiangyang City will be closed. The whole city will know that the enemy is coming, but other than that, the infantry and cavalry But he won't take action.

Because the number of Mongols who came was too small, it was impossible to attack Xiangyang, so they only needed to defend. This is considered the second alarm, and the state when it occurred is also the state that Xiangyang City has experienced the most in recent times.

And the current level is the top level 3 alarm.

War drums beat and bells ring.

All soldiers in Xiangyang City must arrive at the designated location within the designated time to assemble, because when the third alarm sounds, it means that at least 3 Mongolians are approaching Xiangyang City. 10 people may not necessarily be able to take down the fully armed Xiangyang City.

But it has to be taken seriously.

Therefore, we need to be prepared to defend the city.

Wu Gong hesitated for a while, and finally decided to blend in with the crowd and get on the city wall. There are not many archers on the city wall, most of them are soldiers with various weapons and people wearing military armor. The dense black crows on the horizon in the distance are like a black wave, approaching here, and like black ants moving, it looks spectacular.

"At least 20 people came this time. Do these Mongolians really have too much food and no place to use it? You must know that the food and water resources consumed by each emergency march like this are several times more than when they are usually stationed. So, then With so much food and military rations, are the Mongols not prepared to fight a protracted war with us? Or have they obtained other sources of food?"

The people around him suddenly made confused remarks.

Don't blame them for thinking this way.

The Mongolian grasslands are not a place that produces food in the first place.

Although the Mongolian grasslands are rich in cattle and sheep, you cannot eat meat every day. Military rations are still the most important thing for marching and fighting.

In addition, even if the Mongols do not eat food, the horses still need to eat fodder.

A long time ago, the Mongols had started cutting straw on nearby grasslands because they had nothing to feed their horses. For this reason, Huang Rong also organized a team of cavalry to set fire to the grasslands, just to deprive the horses of food.

Mongolia had just arrived three days ago. They marched an army of 150,000 troops to Xiangyang City for a day, and then went back. In the process, they consumed in vain the military rations that could last more than ten days.

And with so many people today, there must be at least two hundred thousand.

The military rations consumed increased geometrically.

If the Mongols just come and go back this time, it can only mean that the Mongols are really not short of food, or they want to paralyze the Xiangyang defense line.

If it's the former, it's really difficult.

After all, if the Mongols and the Song Dynasty competed against each other, the Song Dynasty would not have the numerical advantage. By then, even two Mongolians for one Song Dynasty could completely replace the entire Xiangyang defense line.

But if it is the latter, it can only be said that the Mongols are overthinking, because Huang Rong and Guo Jing are stationed here now, and they will not be careless.

Wu Gong was mixed in the crowd, his eyes quickly scanning the city wall.

According to the news from Guo Fu, Huang Rong should be stationed on this city wall, but why didn't she see her?

Just as he was wondering, the sound of a horn suddenly sounded in the distance.

Then thousands of small black dots rushed towards Xiangyang City from the horizon.

The yellow sand accompanied by the horse's hooves swept up the dust all over the sky.

It was like a big hand of yellow sand whose complete shape could not be seen, slamming towards the direction of Xiangyang City.

The speed was so fast and the momentum was so fierce, it felt like the sky was about to collapse along with it.

"Stretch the bow."

Wu Gong suddenly turned his head in one direction, and suddenly he saw the person he wanted to see.

The gleaming golden armor covered Huang Rong's body. Huang Rong stood on the tower, looking extremely majestic. She wielded a long sword and directed the archers to aim at the cavalry in the distance. Her eyes were firm and brave, full of indomitable faith.

With the sword in his hand flying down from the air.

Under her command, the archers began to shoot arrows, and the arrows fell on the cavalry in the distance like a heavy rain.

As the sound of bowstrings continued to sound.
