Chapter 163 Before the Bodhisattva, all living beings are equal

A spring rain last night washed the earth cleanly.

The countryside is filled with the fragrance of earth, and the tender green leaves stretch out tenaciously, showing the stubbornness of life to the world.

Calendarically speaking, February 6, the second year of Xiangxing, was actually March 19, 1279 according to the Gregorian calendar.

At this time, the climate is already spring.

Originally, at this point in time, it was the day when the Mongolian army launched a fierce attack and completely destroyed the Song Dynasty.

At this time, Li Yunze arrived at Guangzhou Mansion with his troops.

Along the way, his complexion was very dark.

The countryside is full of green, showing the vitality of the spring season.

But on this same road, the towns and villages passed along the way were full of ruins and corpses strewn across the fields.

Basically, the Mongolian army did not pay their troops, and all their wealth depended on looting.

In the colorful world of the Southern Song Dynasty, cities were slaughtered and plundered everywhere, just like locusts passing through, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.

It was true that no chickens or dogs were left behind, and all livestock, big and small, were slaughtered and eaten.

Almost all the buildings are overdone.

As for people, Li Yunze saw too many skeletons along the way, as well as corpses that were obviously recently massacred.

There are adults, old people, and children!

His anger broke out in a town where he was camping last night. Not only that the whole town was slaughtered, Li Yunze even saw a pregnant woman in miserable condition!

And the stone grinder covered in blood!

Unable to suppress his anger, Li Yunze directly disposed of all the more than twenty surrendered soldiers as sacrifices.

This town was massacred in the past two days, obviously as the fleeing Mongolian army was venting its anger.

The reason why they were not slaughtered before was because they chose to surrender. Those who did not surrender have become skeletons on the roadside.

The Mongolian army was defeated, but they used them to vent their anger.

Li Yunze has seen brutal soldiers and horses, but such brutal soldiers and horses are rare in the world.

Perhaps only in another world, the beast army composed of livestock can be compared with it.

At this time, they finally arrived at the gate of Guangzhou City. Li Yunze came with endless anger.

"General." He Yuanli approached cautiously, "There are many defenders in the city, and we only have three thousand troops."

Three thousand against tens of thousands, and it was a siege.

Not to mention that the opposite side is Meng Yuan, who has destroyed countless countries, even if it is a bandit, it will not work.

"What are you panicking about?"

Li Yunze yelled, "The advantage is mine!"

He Yuanli naturally confessed repeatedly, but he couldn't think of the advantage in his heart.

Zhang Hongfan in the city was frightened when he learned that the Song army had chased outside the city, and subconsciously wanted to continue the retreat of the entire army.

The equally embarrassed Zong Wang Qimuge asked, "How many Song troops?"

"There are only a few thousand under the city."

"How many thousands?" Qimuge was furious, "There are tens of thousands of Mongolian warriors in the city, where did the Song army get the courage?!"

"Prince Zong." Zhang Hongfan repeatedly urged, "Don't forget that the Song people still have those monsters with copper skin and iron bones."

Upon hearing this, his wooden frame immediately trembled.

That terrifying monster sprayed saliva made of copper and iron, spraying countless Dameng warriors to death!

"No monsters were seen."

Qi Muge was worried and simply pulled Zhang Hongfan up to the city gate tower.

On the ground outside the east city gate, a group of soldiers and horses under the banner of the Song Army were parked there to set up camp.

I made a rough estimate using some military skills, and found that there were at most two to three thousand troops.

Moreover, there was no ambush around, and there was no trace of the copper-skinned and iron-skeletal monster.

"This is too much!" Qimuge, who shook his pigtails, shouted angrily, "You dare to attack the city with only a few thousand men. You are looking down on me, Dameng."

Seeing that Qimuge was about to send troops out of the city to attack, Zhang Hongfan hurriedly dissuaded him, "Prince Zong, I'm afraid there is a deceit."

"The monster is not here, so what's the trick?"

Tens of thousands of troops were defeated by a monster, and even Muge didn't know how to explain it to his great khan.

Now the weak Song army actually dared to chase him right under his nose, and even a mere two to three thousand men dared to take the posture of attacking the city. This really pissed him off.

The defeated troops cannot be mobilized. Their morale has collapsed and they are of no use now.

Fortunately, there are still the previous defenders in the city, so there is no problem in mobilizing two thousand households.

"General."

He Yuanli hurriedly broke into the tent, "The Mongolian army has cavalry out of the city, at least two thousand households!"

"Don't panic."

Li Yunze took out the Wheel-turning Bodhisattva from the box and said, "We have a Bodhisattva."

The Mongolian army is very confident in field battles. They believe that they are invincible in field battles.

Especially when facing the Song Army, they have an absolute psychological advantage.

After leaving the city, they didn't make much adjustments. They just lined up in a dense queue, ready to rush into the formation.

The Song army was still camping here, and they didn't even have time to erect the wooden fence. They could only hurriedly list their spears, waiting in horror for the Mongolian army's attack.

Seeing that the Mongolian army had already rushed within a hundred steps, they all drew their bows and prepared arrows to shoot on horseback.

The generals here roared angrily, and the shield array and spear array in the front row withdrew one after another, making way for Li Yunze's position.

Qi Muge and Zhang Hongfan on the city gate tower saw the strange things set up on a pile of boxes in the distance. They all took a deep breath and screamed at the top of their lungs at the Mongolian troops outside the city, asking them to come back quickly.

.

The two thousand households that attacked this time were all those who had stayed in Guangzhou City before.

They have never seen the horror of this thing, and when they are already charging, they can't turn back when they hear the screams.

Then, they saw the light.

The long and terrible fire!

The muzzle of the Gatling gun sprayed out a terrifying flame that was more than one meter long.

The bullet chain that was enough to tear the body to pieces swept left and right, knocking down the dense Mongolian cavalry layer by layer like cutting wheat.

Machine gun bullets have extremely strong penetrating power, and when swept into a dense queue of Mongolian troops, they can usually penetrate several layers.

Under the rain of bullets, all living beings are equal.

He Yuanli stared blankly at everything in front of him, watching the eggshells falling like water whizzing around his feet.

He subconsciously leaned over to pick up a bullet casing, but threw it away the moment he picked it up.

“Hot, hot, hot~~~”

There was no surprise at all. Two thousand Mongolian cavalrymen were completely defeated when they charged directly at the Gatling Bodhisattva.

The people who were still alive turned their horses around as hard as they could, surrounded by companions who were blocking the escape route. They also fought with swords and axes, just to escape back behind the tall city wall.

When Li Yunze ran out of ammunition, he finally stopped.

Among the more than a thousand cavalry, only more than a hundred were able to escape back to the city.

In the past, when cavalry fought, even if they couldn't defeat them, they could still escape with their mobility.

Such tragic casualties are truly extremely rare.

Above and below the city, the Mongolian and Song troops were all silent.

Everyone was frightened by this terrifying scene. They had never seen such an efficient and rapid killing effect.

Glancing at the city gate in the distance that was hastily closed, Li Yunze stood up and said, "Don't set up camp. Let's spend the night in the city today."

He Yuanli and Song Jun both looked at Li Yunze as if they were gods, their eyes full of admiration.

After hearing this, they immediately shouted in unison, "Enter the city, enter the city!"

Let alone entering the city, even if Li Yunze said that he could behead the Mongolian Khan from thousands of miles away, they would still dare to believe it now!

"Wait."

Li Yunze turned around and went to his tent.

A moment later, with an engine roaring like a dragon's roar, an infantry fighting vehicle rumbled out.
