A day passed in tension and tranquility. The defenders of Xiangyang City did not know what they were about to face and were still full of hope for the future. However, in the Guo Mansion, even with Li Xuan's previous consolation and knew the offensive that they were about to face, Guo Jing was still not idle in the end. During the day, he repeatedly checked various possible omissions in the city defense.

In his words, even if it is just a small make-up, there may be more opportunity to hold on in the future. Not only this time, he did this in the past every time he faced the invasion of the Mongols. Is it effective? Xiangyang City has been standing firm for twenty years in the face of the storm of the Mongols, which seems to have already explained many problems.

Xiaolongnu's poisonous injuries have been removed under Huang Rong's careful conditioning. However, after the body was raging with both poisonous injuries and internal injuries, it fell into a state of extreme weakness. It will take time to truly recover.

Report ~

A rapid but long sound came from outside the Guo Mansion, and rushed to the hall in one breath. There was no time to breathe in the middle, showing the good internal strength of the person who came. However, at this moment, everyone sitting in the hall obviously had no mood to sigh at these. Even the somewhat ignorant Guo Fu and the big and small martial brothers were affected by the somewhat depressing atmosphere in the hall. They remained silent and stood behind Huang Rong with a serious look on their faces.

Gang leader, Guo Daxia, and the Mongolians sent troops.

With the brief words of the Beggar Gang disciples, everyone in the hall, including Li Xuan, suddenly felt relieved, just like the darkness before dawn. This kind of tranquility before the storm is the most tormenting thing.

Guo Daxia, ready to get up, Li Xuan moved his body, which was a little sore, and looked towards the east from afar. He murmured: This battle is not easy to fight.

Even though Li Xuan has experienced enough wars since he obtained the plane crossing system, there are also many big moves that affect the entire plane. For example, in the world of Heaven, a plan turned most of the Yuan Dynasty into a dead domain. The Tianlong plane swept over half of the world, but in the end, these things are still done with the flow.

In the world of Heaven, the conflicts between Mongolia and Han have reached the point of dying out. Even without Li Xuan, according to the normal historical trajectory, Mongolia's energy has basically not been around for several years. Although the Tianlong plane is somewhat difficult, the situation of the five countries being united together may be more difficult as long as it can disrupt the situation and provoke the already existing contradictions between Song, Liao, Western Xia, and Xia. Moreover, the rebellion of the King of Chu and the control of the plot, whether it is to accumulate his own strength or to rise in the north through the rebellion of the King of Chu, it will take advantage of the situation.

But this time, it's different.

The Divine Condor Plane. In the low martial arts world, the power level is not high, but if you look at the world situation, for Li Xuan, who wants to intervene in the chess game in the world, the difficulty is probably greater than the superposition of the Tianlong Plane and the Yitian Plane. This time, he really wants to go against the will of heaven.

Mongolia destroyed the Song Dynasty. In this plane, it was the general trend, but Li Xuan stood on the opposite side of the general trend.

With 50,000 Song troops, facing the 200,000 Mongolian elite troops who came with the sweeping momentum of Mongolia. In the war hosted by Li Xuan, this huge difference is definitely the first time.

After saying this, Li Xuan walked straight to the direction of the city wall with his personal guards, understanding what he was going to face next. However, he, the King of Xiangyang, could not sit in the city to plan.

At the same time, ten miles outside Xiangyang City, in the Mongolian camp

Kublai Khan stood on the coach's platform in military uniform, quietly watching the army gathering from the coach's platform, without a full-blown look, and there was an unspeakable gloom on his heroic face.

Funiushan's resistance exceeded his imagination, and his cunning exceeded his expectations.

According to statistics, the hidden soldiers in the small Funiu Mountain are definitely not below 10,000. It is almost certain that this is definitely the arrangement of the King of Xiangyang whom he had never met. How could ordinary bandits have so many soldiers?

Of course, these are not the most important things. What really annoyed Kublai Khan was the opponent's tactics. They would never go out of Funiu Mountain to fight head-on with Mongolian soldiers. If so, Kublai Khan would not have a headache. Due to the terrain, the brave and warlike Mongolian knights could not ride their horses into the mountains and forests to fight, and Kublai Khan would not be able to drive 200,000 troops into Funiu Mountain to protect the food route. For infantry, they would never come out after five thousand-person teams entered, and Kublai Khan never had such an idea again.

It is obvious that this team hidden in Funiu Mountain is definitely the most elite soldier of the Song people. Relying on their familiarity with the terrain and rich experience in mountain combat, the troops sent in are like mud bulls entering the sea. The information obtained from the soldiers who escaped by luck. The destruction of the five thousand-person teams caused absolutely limited damage to the opponent, and it can even be said to be negligible.

At present, we can only rely on the grain stored in Xinye area of ​​Dengzhou, Nanyang, and barely maintain the cost of the army. The waterway can also transport some grain from the waterway. However, every time, we have to confront the Song Dynasty's navy. After all, the Mongolian navy was first established, and surface combat was different from land combat. There are too many changes, and the quality of the soldiers themselves has been weakened to the smallest. On land, the Mongolian army can suppress the Song people, and they have no power to fight back. On water, due to their technological level and experience, this situation has to be reversed.

If we really want to maintain the support of the army through water, the consumption in it, even the current Mongol Empire will be enough to be dragged down by this war.

Standing on the coach's stage, Kublai Khan felt a suffocation lingering in his chest. The 200,000 army was forced to desperately attack Xiangyang to resolve the current difficulties. Whether it was successful or not, even if he finally captured Xiangyang and opened the door to the Southern Song Dynasty, the losses of this battle alone would be enough to make the entire Mongolia unable to move south in the next few years. This result was undoubtedly the least willing to accept Kublai Khan, but at this moment, he had to make such a painful choice.

King Li Xuan of Xiangyang

Looking up, looking tightly at the head of Xiangyang City, Kublai Khan made up his mind again: This person must not be kept.

Behind Kublai Khan, the middle-aged scholar frowned and looked at Yin Kexi and the other two standing on the other side of Kublai Khan. He had no idea about the war in Xiangyang. There was no other way to imagine the current situation except for a strong attack. Instead, the middle-aged scholar felt a sense of doubt about these three masters who returned.

From the three people's concealment yesterday, it is not difficult to hear that this assassination plan was completely failed and even lost Ma Guangzuo's life. However, in addition, the three people could actually come back intact. The reasons given by the three people were too far-fetched, and they were released by the King of Xiangyang.

Just look at the other party's arrangement, even when the troops are at the city, they must divide their precious hands to cut off the food route of the Mongolian army. Obviously, they are not merciful and pedantic people who pay attention to be kind and righteous, and just let the enemy masters who assassinate themselves easily go so easily. This cannot be described as generous. If a middle-aged scribe knows some modern terms, only two words can describe this behavior.

If something goes wrong, it is a monster. No matter how you look at it, it is not that there is a serious IQ barrier. Doing such a thing can only show that the other party has a purpose, but the three of them do not seem to have ulterior motives. What's more, the other party is just a king of Xiangyang, which may sound awesome, but in fact, it is no different from the lord of Xiangyang City. The middle-aged literati cannot think of any ability of the other party to instigate these three masters who have sufficient status under Kublai Khan's account.

It was a very bad feeling, but the middle-aged scholar glanced over the Golden Wheel Dharma King standing beside Kublai Khan, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. It seemed that the prince had obviously discovered something wrong, at least he did not trust the three people as much as he did on the surface.

Perhaps, this is exactly what the other party wants to achieve. A thought suddenly flashed through his mind. If the three of them did not lie, it would be a bit like a counter-espionage plan. However, the middle-aged scholar immediately gave up this idea. The three of them might have good martial arts, but they were just good. In the current situation, they were just guards. In the overall situation, they were not at all related to it, and it was even more impossible to make any waves. If you are the enemy's head coach, there is no need to go through such complicated tricks to deal with these three people. Even if you instigate a thousand-man general in Mongolia, it is greater than these three people.

He shook his head in slightest, and the middle-aged scholar looked in the direction of Xiangyang again. Compared to Yin Kexi and the other two, this strong city that he had to face was the most important. At this moment, Kublai Khan had gathered all the people and horses that could gather in his hands, Mongolian cavalry, infantry, and even slaves were gathered here.

Slaves, the spoils captured by the enemy tribes in Mongolia were generally responsible for transporting food, grass and supplies. The captives had very low combat capabilities, even worse than those Song soldiers. In the eyes of the Mongols, these people were no different from cattle and sheep. Under normal circumstances, they would not participate in the war. There were 200,000 troops, but the slaves who were responsible for carrying food for the soldiers were 400,000. It was nothing in normal times, but now it seems that there are too many.

A hint of cruelty flashed in the middle-aged scholar's eyes. Although he had no combat power, he could suck the physical strength and arrows of the Xiangyang defenders. Most importantly, he could save more food and grass.
