Chapter 1567: The situation is over, the power of grenades
Monk Zicong was a smart man. When Chahan led his troops out of the camp, he was afraid that Kublai Khan would settle the score later, so he just ran away.
When he returned to his tent, he saw his old friend sitting cross-legged, holding a piece of turtle shell and closing his eyes to relax. He quickly said:
"Old Tian, please do some divination quickly to find out whether the battle will be good or bad today!"
"fierce!"
Lao Tian, whose name is Tian Run, was originally a Taoist sorcerer, but he had a close friendship with the monk Zicong.
Tian Run said, calmly pointing to the side, where he had already packed his luggage, and chuckled:
"Didn't you see? I've even packed my luggage. Go and catch up on your sleep. Be careful if you don't have the strength to escape at night and you'll be captured by the Song people!"
Monk Zicong was shocked by his friend's words:
"Is it really so dangerous?"
"It's so dangerous! Moreover, if you are not careful, there is a danger of the whole army being annihilated!"
As Tian Run spoke, he sighed:
"Last year, I advised you that the sky had changed dramatically, and the purple stars that reflected His Highness were dim. I was afraid that you would not be in that position. But you didn't believe in evil, and you still insisted on dragging me along. Now, I am going to be harmed by you, a bald donkey.
Dead!"
Monk Zicong was a little panicked when his friend said something serious:
"Isn't that right? There are still more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in the army!"
"A month ago, Chahan led 70,000 forwards and the central army, and was killed by 8,000 people. Only 5,000 or 6,000 people escaped!"
Tian Run said and burst into laughter:
"I'm afraid I'm going to make the same mistake again tonight, and not even one out of ten can escape!"
After hearing this, Monk Zicong finally came to his senses.
When he came to his friend and looked at him carefully, he found that his friend was also looking at him meaningfully.
The two looked at each other.
Tian Run burst out laughing again.
Monk Zicong, on the other hand, frowned and looked like he was about to cry without tears. He wanted to laugh, but he showed a look of pain.
…
North gate of Xiangyang City.
Su Mingzhe stood on the city wall, tall and straight, looking ahead. The entire battlefield was under his gaze.
Because of the decisive battle, Xiao Longnu and her younger sister Wanyanping also came and stood next to the man.
In order not to affect the morale of the army, Su Mingzhe asked the two women to wear armor and masks.
Even so, it is difficult to conceal the charming charm of the two women.
Boom, boom, boom...
As the war drums beat.
The Tatars drove the local people captured from nearby and asked them to carry soil on their backs to fill the moat.
These people were all natives of Xiangyang. They were afraid of the Song soldiers in the city shooting arrows, so they all begged for mercy in their local dialect.
"Open the city gate and let them into the Wengcheng!"
Su Mingzhe's order made many generals become nervous.
Many people even aimed their bows and arrows at this common man, fearing that some Tatar spies would appear inside and take advantage of the chaos to attack the city wall.
Fortunately, these people are real people.
When these common people saw the city gate open, they rushed over one after another.
In an instant.
The narrow city gate was tightly blocked by tens of thousands of people.
Some people were quite clever. Seeing that they could not get in through the city gate, they surrounded the city wall and ran in other directions.
When the Tatars saw that most of the people had entered, they laughed wildly and drove their horses to attack the city!
…
"Bring me my precious eagle bow!"
Seeing that all the people had passed the minefield, Su Mingzhe no longer hesitated, bent his bow and arrow, and shot towards the enemy's center.
There are also experts on the Tatar side.
Nimoxing, Xiaoxiangzi, Yin Kexi, Ma Guangzuo and others were originally masters recruited by Kublai Khan. Now they were sent by Kublai Khan to protect Marshal Chahan. Seeing Su Mingzhe shooting arrows towards this side, they all did
Take a defensive stance.
Marshal Chahan originally looked down upon these foreign masters. Now he saw that everyone was nervous and his eyes became even more contemptuous:
"Everyone, if it is more than 300 steps from here to the city wall, even if his precious eagle bow can shoot arrows over, the power of the powerful crossbow will not be able to penetrate Lu's silk, so there is no need to worry at all!"
??????55.??????
After listening to this, everyone noticed that the bow and arrow shot by Su Mingzhe was too high and could not hit anyone at all.
This couldn't help but make everyone laugh.
Marshal Chahan stretched out his hand to twist his beard and said sarcastically:
"No wonder these Song people are all idiots. Even the commander-in-chief can't bend a bow and shoot an arrow. The others are even less worth mentioning!"
Just when everyone was laughing and echoing.
Yin Kexi suddenly shouted "no".
It turned out that when he looked back, he found that although the bow and arrow could not hit anyone, it could break the wolf-headed robe behind Marshal Chahan.
The wolf-headed banner is the flag of Marshal Chahan.
Without the 绛, if anyone just shouts that Marshal Chahan is dead, the Tatar soldiers below may believe it.
The speed of the bow and arrow was so fast that Yin Kexi had no time to warn everyone.
Of course, he also wanted to show off his skills, so he took out the whip from his waist and rolled the arrow into the air.
Everyone saw that the long whip was inlaid with dozens of colorful glass, jade, gems, and beads.
It's too late to say it, but it's soon.
Just when the bow and arrow rushed over everyone's heads.
Yin Kexi groaned and rolled down the bow and arrow.
Just when everyone was about to applaud Yin Kexi, Xiaoxiangzi, who was standing next to him, changed his expression drastically. Without enough time to warn others, he jumped up into the distance.
Then, a series of loud explosions instantly enveloped everyone in smoke.
…
Su Mingzhe stood on the city wall, watching Marshal Chahan and others lying in a pool of blood. While admiring his masterpiece, he shook his head slightly and sighed:
"If Kublai Khan was here, he would definitely have confessed!"
Wu Xiuwen and Wu Dunru were like two generals, standing aside. After seeing the power of Su Mingzhe's arrow, killing and wounding the Tatar center, they exclaimed again and again, and suddenly said excitedly:
"Brother, now that the Tatars have fallen, do you want to launch an attack?"
"No hurry, no rush! Let the Tatar army react for a while!"
Su Mingzhe's patience is very good.
If the string of grenades just now didn't work, just shoot a few more arrows.
Fortunately, the first arrow accomplished the target.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
Only then did the Mongolian army realize that their commander was tilted and moving backward.
Under the watchful eye of the defenders on the city, the Tatar army, which had been attacking like an overwhelming mountain, retreated in an orderly manner like the tide.
"Senior brother..."
Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen became anxious when they saw the Tatar army escaping from the minefield.
Su Mingzhe then waved his hand towards the messenger:
"Open the city gates wide and let all the cavalry go out to pursue!"
…
"Let's go!"
When Tian Run heard the "drought thunder" coming from the distance and the shouts of the Song people pursuing him, he knew that the defeat was certain.
Monk Zicong looked lonely, put on the ordinary soldier clothes that he had prepared long ago, and ran towards the outside of the camp.
…
Kublai Khan learned that Chahan led an army of 80,000 to attack the city. Not only did he not perform any meritorious service, but he was once again ambushed by the Song Dynasty's "landmine".
He himself was killed by the explosion, and then he started to panic:
"Quick, go ask Master Zicong!"
Upon seeing this, Jia Fu, the head of ten thousand households, quickly stopped Kublai Khan and begged:
"Your Highness, the Song Dynasty's 200,000-strong army has been chasing us. We'd better avoid the enemy for now and retreat!"
The power of landmines is rare in the world.
Even Chahan, the marshal who was heavily protected by troops, was killed.
Everyone was afraid that if Kublai Khan made another mistake, everyone would be guilty.
Regardless of Kublai Khan's objections, the crowd forcibly helped him onto his horse and escorted him all the way back north.
