Zongwu: Madam, please respect yourself.

(The code cannot be completed, please fill it in first.)

"Why did I hear Gong'er's voice?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Huang Rong's face.

In the recent period, Huang Rong's condition has been very bad, and it can even be said that she is in dire straits.

Rest is not good either, so I often feel trance-like.

Just like just now, this assassin used some unknown means to get close to Huang Rong.

But there is actually a certain gap in strength between the two.

In fact, if Huang Rong really wanted to hide, she could do so effortlessly. However, due to her physical discomfort and distraction, she did not realize immediately that it was a surprise attack from behind, which led to the current embarrassing situation. In the past, Huang Rong could have subdued this guy in such a situation the moment he made a sneak attack on her.

But it was precisely because of physical discomfort and distraction that she almost died at the hands of this assassin.

However, compared to the fact that her life was in danger, Huang Rong was even more shocked by another thing, that is, everything that happened in front of her was not an illusion, but something that actually happened.

"Gong'er!"

Infinite light suddenly appeared in Huang Rong's originally dull eyes.

Huang Rong saw drops of blood falling from the fingers holding the blade of the dagger, and her whole body was filled with strength unconsciously.

He went up and slapped the thin assassin on the chest, and there was a click like lightning and thunder.

The short assassin was slapped away with a palm. He couldn't stop spitting blood from his mouth. He fell down the city wall and looked like he would not survive.

Huang Rong, however, didn't care about the assassin's life or death, or whether there was any corresponding information in his mouth. She directly grabbed Wu Gong's hand and quickly used her inner strength to wrap up the wound and tear off her own clothes. The wound was bandaged vigorously.

Wait until after all this is done.

Huang Rong suddenly seemed to have something on her mind and wanted to pull the wound.

He wanted to heal the wound he had just bandaged because he thought that there was a faint blue luster on the dagger, which meant that the dagger was poisoned.

Wu Gong stopped Huang Rong and then said softly. : "Have you forgotten the dry food? I am invulnerable to all poisons. No toxin in this world can hurt me. On the contrary, these toxins are like tonics to me."

Huang Rong breathed a long sigh of relief when she remembered this. The assassin who was struck down by her palm was also dragged up from the city wall by a dozen soldiers. This assassin's vitality is also very tenacious. After falling from such a high city wall and being slapped again before, his chest has been severely dented, and the pale white bones have even penetrated the flesh and skin. But even so, he is not dead yet.

However, even if he is not dead, he has less energy coming in and more energy coming out.

Death is not far away.

However, in front of Wu Gong, he obviously did not die as easily as he imagined. But in front of so many people, it was impossible for Wu Gong to show his ability to bring the dead back to life. Fortunately, Huang Rong knew that Wu Gong had such an ability, so she did not hesitate at all and immediately issued an order to escort the assassin to the city gate room not far away.

There is a special garrison hall above the city gate.

It doesn't look big from the outside, but the space inside is not small either.

Moreover, there are still two floors.

The upstairs is used for living, while the downstairs houses a huge sand table.

Of course, the sand table downstairs does not look at the entire Xiangyang City and its surroundings, but at the direction that this city gate is responsible for. The purpose of this is to prevent the sand table from directly exposing the entire Xiangyang City's defense deployment when the city gate is breached, which is a very scary thing.

So the sand table is only part of it.

There are four sand tables in total for each of the four city gates.

When these four sand tables are combined together, you can see the entire Xiangyang City and its surroundings. More importantly, only when the four sand tables are completely combined together, will some of the hidden arrangements above be revealed. But if nothing unexpected happens, , these four sand tables can never be put together.

Because all four sand tables are equipped with some mechanical devices, and only a slight movement will cause the gravel above to collapse.

Wu Gong

While looking at the sand table, Huang Rong had someone throw the assassin to the ground and ordered the entire army to continue to be on guard. Although to a certain extent, Huang Rong already understood that the fundamental purpose of the Mongols' dispatch of 200,000 troops was very likely. Just to assassinate myself.

This is not because Huang Rong is overconfident in her own importance. In fact, if Huang Rong is missing, the Mongols might really be able to capture Xiangyang City, because the biggest reason why Xiangyang City can hold the city at this moment is because Xiangyang City is united at this moment. In fact, the original people in Xiangyang City alone were absolutely unable to defend against the Mongols.

The Mongols have very rich experience in attacking cities.

And has a variety of siege weapons capable of conquering city walls.

In a sense, with their numerical advantage, the Mongols could still capture Xiangyang City even if they suffered some major damage. With the implementation of Huang Rong's joint policy. With a large amount of wine, meat and money that can be circulated repeatedly, Xiangyang City has completely become a line of defense for the Mongols on their way south. The purpose of the Mongols not attacking Xiangyang City before was to create an illusion and show weakness to the Manchus in the north. Therefore, it was not that Xiangyang City could not be captured before, but that Xiangyang City could be captured anytime and anywhere. It was not an obstacle to the Mongols' southward movement at all.

But things are different now. The Mongols have tried to attack many times but found that even if they can really capture Xiangyang City, they will definitely pay more than 80% of the losses, which is not worth the gain. And even if Xiangyang City can really be captured, there is only one last option left - the remaining 20% ​​of the troops can only flee back to the Mongolian grassland for repairs in embarrassment, and never want to set foot in the Central Plains again.

But the Mongols did not give up so easily.

This Central Plains region is a sweet potato that the Mongols must not give up, especially since the Central Plains region is rich in products. Whoever can take over the Central Plains will, in a sense, have truly won the opportunity to win the world.

The biggest enemy of the Mongols has always been not the Song Dynasty in the south, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the north. Because they are both nomadic people, the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties have always been the largest force of the Mongolian cavalry. The Mongols spent a great price to successfully provoke a struggle between the Manchu and Qing Dynasties and those ghosts, and successfully allowed the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to temporarily There is no energy to focus on the Central Plains region.

The Mongols successfully captured Tubo again, and pointed their swords at Xixia and Dali. In a sense, the general situation is now ready. As long as they can capture the Central Plains, Mongolia will not be afraid at all if the Manchus turn around and start a war with Mongolia.

But with the implementation of Huang Rong's policies, the entire Xiangyang area has truly become an iron city wall. Under the protection of this iron city wall, even if the Mongols can enter the Central Plains through some channels, they cannot enter on a large scale and can only carry out small-scale robberies. For the Mongols, this is simply a drop in the bucket. The food and food we came here are not enough to consume on the road!
