Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 637 Another Night Attack
Time: In the first year of Jingding, the second day of March, that is, the eighth day after Meng Ge arrived at the city of Xiangyang and launched an attack, the ugly moment in the early morning.

Location: Inside the south gate of Xiangyang City.

Turning his head slowly, he looked at the five team members Yu Hanfeng, Singer, Guifei, Huang Yizhi, and A Li in front of him; Guo Jing, Yeluqi, Zhu Ziliu, and more than 200 masters of the rivers and lakes led by them.

There are also 180 people who survived the Yebuying camp under the Xuange camp.

After looking at the faces of the above 400 people one by one, Hu Biao picked up a clay bowl in his hand, and said to everyone in a low voice:

"Everyone, whether Xiangyang City can be defended depends on whether your actions today are successful.

For the survival of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang City, and for the tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty not to fall under the iron heels of the Mongols and Tartars, Mr. Hu is here to offer you a bowl. "

After finishing speaking, Hu Biao drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

After the other people saw this, they also drank the wine in one gulp. They didn't know whether it could be described as Zhuangxing wine or decapitated wine.

The expression on his face was indescribably free and easy.

The only pity is that, for the secrecy of tonight's operation, the Mongolian sentries outside the city were alarmed early on, so that the success fell short.

They gently put down the dry clay bowls in their hands, instead of smashing them to pieces on the ground with a bang sound like before.

Shengsheng let this meal of Zhuang Xingjiu lose a lot of momentum.

Hu Biao had no choice but to see the scene in front of him.

In the previous week's battle, the development of the follow-up battle was not much different from Hu Biao's first prediction.

Every night, the loud beating sound of "ding ding dong dong~" in the Mongolian camp can be heard even in the city.

The movement of these voices was actually produced by the many artisans accompanying the army on the Mongolian side, who were rushing to make the siege equipment such as the return guns and ballistas overnight.

Therefore, except for one day of heavy rain, the two sides ceased fighting for a day.

Every morning during the rest of the time, the Mongolian side would be punctual as if they were going to work, with around [-] back-and-forth cannons and fifty or sixty crossbows that they rushed to make overnight.

After arriving at the city, they began to attack on all sides.

The process of their attack will continue until all the return cannons are completely destroyed by the eight-ox crossbow at the top of the city, and then it will temporarily come to an end.

Although such an offensive and defensive battle would end with the victory of the defenders of Xiangyang City every time.

But after seven consecutive days of fighting, Hu Biao and the others felt a huge pressure.

This pressure is not only in terms of casualties, the military and civilians in the city have already suffered more than [-] casualties, most of them are Song soldiers.

More importantly, Hu Biao and the others also found out clearly.

The commanders of the return artillery on the Mongolian side were the two people in history, Alao Wading and Yisi Main.

It is also because of the command of the two that the accuracy of those return guns is excellent; after being smashed by them for so many days in a row, there are some city walls that have been hit many times. After careful inspection, there are already some faint cracks .

In a short while, these very small cracks will not cause the wall to completely collapse.

But after being bombarded for another four or five days, it's a little hard to say.

Faced with such a huge crisis, everyone in the city would naturally not do nothing; even Guo Jing, Zhu Ziliu and other experts ventured out of the city once.

The purpose is to kill Awa Laoding and Yisi Mayin, the two semu people.

As long as the two of them die, although the Mongolian people can still rush to return the artillery every night, their accuracy will immediately drop severely, and the threat will be reduced immediately.

It's just that Guo Jing and others jumped off the city wall at that time.

Awa Laoding and Yisi Mayin rode horses at the first moment and fled back towards the central army under the protection of dozens of personal guards.

At the same time, a large number of elite cavalry rushed up frantically from a little later, while firing their bows and arrows.

One by one, the masters hidden in the attacking infantry also appeared one after another and killed them.

That is to say, seeing that the situation was not good, Hu Biao hurriedly had someone beat the golden drum representing the retreat, telling Guo Jing and others to retreat immediately, and gave up the plan to hunt down and kill A Lao Wa Ding and Yi Sima Yin.

This is to prevent Guo Jing and the others from being fooled.

But just like that, there are still seventy or eighty beggar gangs and masters in the rivers and lakes, who failed to escape back to the city.

In the end, in desperation, tonight Hu Biao and the others could only rely on such a proactive method to achieve their goal of killing Awa Laoding and Yisi Mayin, as well as their subordinate Semuren.

To be more specific, it means that the soldiers are divided into two groups.

Guo Jing and Yeluqi led more than 200 quack masters to assassinate Meng Ge Khan; but this group of troops was just a means to attract the opponent's attention.

Once the situation is not good, they will immediately withdraw to Xiangyang City.

Mengge Dahan was surrounded by tight guards, and he didn't expect to succeed easily.

After all, the recent wind direction has been wrong. Hu Biao and the others are making a glider, a non-powered flying tool, and there is no way to fly against the wind.

Therefore, the five people including Yu Hanfeng, singer, imperial concubine, Huang Yizhi, and A Li, led by the night camp, are the real main action force tonight.

After these people have taken over such a task, they basically have a posture of never returning...

******
There are only a few stars in the night sky tonight, and under the dark night, it is the perfect weather for a sneak attack.

What's more, this girl, A Li, gained night vision ability in the last mission, and with her Haidongqing Xiaobai, she feels even more powerful.

With Ali taking the lead, relying on Xiaobai flying in the sky, he had to give an early warning.

A group of more than [-] people sneaked out of the city behind the relatively loosely guarded southern city wall.

Along the way, under Ali's reminder, Guo Jing only touched three hidden checkpoints in advance, and all other checkpoints and patrols were easily avoided.

It took them more than an hour to successfully make a big circle and arrive outside the long camp of the Mongolian army.

At this time, the time is already in the early three o'clock in the middle of the night, which is the most sleepy time for the human body.

Although there were many sentries in the camp, and some patrols passed by from time to time; but they were the most relaxed in spirit, and they didn't notice the arrival of everyone at all.

What's even more wonderful is that perhaps it is to facilitate the entry and exit of a large amount of wood.

Also, when attacking the city, the starting distance can be reduced.

In short, the camp where the return artillery and the siege equipment were built happened to be at the leftmost position of the camp.

At such a time, there are still a large number of torches and bonfires rising inside, illuminating everything brightly.

Relying on such bright flames, Yu Hanfeng and the others could see clearly that at least thousands of them were constantly busy.

Two of them had many people behind them, waving whips in their hands, Semuren who kept yelling and beating the craftsmen.

One can tell at a glance that it is their target this time, that is, Awa Laoding and Yisi Mayin.

In addition, there are more than a thousand Semu infantry troops building around the camp, but now most of them are sitting by the fire or chatting.

Either in twos or threes, I don't know what vulgar jokes are being played.

And on a large open space on one side, all kinds of wood, large and small, were piled up like a mountain.

Talk!In order to build siege equipment, the Mongolian side cut down almost all the forests in a radius of tens of miles.

But this is also a good thing, because it will only take a fire to ignite them later.

The Mongolian people just want to continue to build siege equipment, and the source of wood alone will be greatly affected.

Seeing that everything went so smoothly, the five people leading the team, Yu Hanfeng, singer, imperial concubine, Huang Yizhi, and A Li, made a gesture with Guo Jing.

Guo Jing immediately nodded to express his understanding, and together with Yeluqi and more than 200 masters, they moved towards the other side of the camp.

Yu Hanfeng and the others continued to wait in place.

Their waiting did not last too long; about half an hour later, a loud and long whistle sounded several miles away.

Guo Jing had already smashed through the wooden fence of the camp, led Yeluqi and others into a large camp...
