Xiaoyouzhutian, send Yi Xiaochuan to the palace to start

Outside the city of Xiangyang, the plain stretching for dozens of miles had now been occupied by a massive army.

Now that the cold winter is over and spring is blooming, the Mongolian army is ready to sound the war cry.

In the distance, hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops were marching towards Xiangyang City in an orderly manner. Their cavalry were surging like a tide, the sound of horse hooves was shaking the earth, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

The Mongols were good at riding and shooting, and cavalry made up the vast majority of their army.

These cavalrymen were dressed in iron armor, holding spears and bows and arrows, with sharp light flashing in their eyes, as if they wanted to destroy all obstacles that blocked their progress.

In terms of momentum, the Mongolian army won a complete victory.

In the center of the army, a huge carriage was particularly eye-catching.

The carriage was richly decorated, inlaid with gems and gold rims, highlighting its nobility and majesty.

On both sides of the carriage, there were a large number of siege vehicles, catapults, etc. They looked solid and huge, as if they could destroy all city walls.

The Mongolian Khan Mongke led the army in person at this time. He stood on the carriage, his eyes sharp as he gazed at the distant city of Xiangyang.

There were two people standing next to him, one was the King of the Golden Wheel, whom Liu Hao had never met in the past five years, and the other was the Mongolian prince, Kublai Khan.

Mongke looked into the distance, his heart filled with the flame of revenge, because a few months ago, Huodu died in Xiangyang City, and Huodu's death made him extremely angry.

After all, he was his incompetent son. Even though he was incompetent, he was related by blood after all. He, King Jinlun, Kublai Khan and others did not expect that when they sent Huodu to investigate, they would hear the news of his death.

He never expected that in such a tense situation, someone in the Song Dynasty would dare to kill the Mongolian prince. This was simply not taking his Great Mongol Empire seriously. He was determined to take Xiangyang in one fell swoop and avenge Huodu.

So when spring came and flowers bloomed, he led his troops directly to attack the Song Dynasty, and Xiangyang was the first stop.

This time, Mengge sent out almost all of Mongolia's elite troops, and led an army of 500,000, pointing his sword at Xiangyang City.

Among them, there were 150,000 infantrymen, who marched in neat steps, wore black armor, and held spears and scimitars. There were 250,000 cavalrymen, and the rest were archers and soldiers operating siege vehicles.

Mongke's move caused Kublai Khan and King Jinlun to express concern.

Guo Jing was easy to deal with, but the unstable factor of Xiaoyao Manor gave them a headache. If they were not careful, they might be defeated and cause irreparable losses to Mongolia.

But there was nothing he could do, because Mongke was now the Great Khan of Mongolia. Liu Hao had humiliated Mongolia and slaughtered Huodu. How could he face the people of Mongolia if he didn't do something?

According to Mengge, no matter how powerful Xiaoyao Manor is, they have hundreds of thousands of troops, so why would they be afraid of Xiaoyao Manor?

Therefore, although Kublai Khan and King Jinlun had deep concerns, they finally chose to go with the army. They knew that as the people of Mongolia, they must support the Khan's decision and fight for the glory of Mongolia.

What's more, they dare not and cannot afford to lose this war.

Guo Jing, the defender of Xiangyang City, and a group of martial artists in Xiangyang City had received the intelligence two days ago.

The Mongolian army could attack Xiangyang City at any time, so Guo Jing and others would of course send a large number of scouts out to investigate.

Because of the sudden mobilization of the Mongolian army, their nerves, which had been tense for several months, finally relaxed. The days of waiting were really too torturous.

In the spacious meeting hall of the Guo Mansion, the city defending general General Lu stood in front of everyone, his eyes firmly scanning everyone present, including Guo Jing, Huang Rong and other martial arts masters who were famous in the world.

"Everyone, the safety of Xiangyang is in your hands today!" General Lu bowed to everyone present. Then he turned and left, hurried to the city wall to arrange the next defense and formation work.

There were only tens of thousands of defenders in Xiangyang. General Lu and Guo Jing had been defending Xianyang for many years and had long been accustomed to small-scale conflicts with the enemy. But this time, the scale of the Mongolian army was something they had never encountered before.

General Lu had to be extra cautious and carefully deploy every defensive detail to ensure that every inch of Xiangyang City was protected.

Fortunately, a few months ago, many martial artists rushed to Xiangyang one after another. Although their number was not large, there were thousands of them after all, and their overall strength might be stronger than that of the defenders of Xiangyang City.

The arrival of these martial artists added a powerful force to Xiangyang City and also allowed General Lu to see a glimmer of hope.

Huang Rong also mobilized tens of thousands of disciples of the Beggars' Sect to go to Xiangyang. Although the number of people in Xiangyang is smaller than that of the Mongolian army, it is not easy for them to break into the city.

Guo Jing and others even had a glimmer of hope that if the attack and defense were orderly this time, they might be able to really repel the attack of the Mongolian army.

Huang Rong looked at a middle-aged Beggar Gang disciple at the end of the seat and slowly said, "Elder Lu, you lead the disciples in the gang to assist General Lu. All arrangements will be made by General Lu!"

"Yes, boss!" Lu Youjiao stood up, bowed to Guo Jing, Huang Rong and others, then turned and left.

"Senior Sister Sun, please lead the Quanzhen Sect disciples to gather at the city gate." After seeing Lu Youjiao's receding back, Huang Rong said to a middle-aged woman sitting on a chair.

This person is none other than Sun Buer of the Quanzhen Sect. After all, the Quanzhen Sect prides itself on being a prestigious and upright sect, so they would certainly not be absent from such a great battle. Most importantly, Sun Buer wanted to take this opportunity to make the Quanzhen Sect flourish again.

Because, the Quanzhen Sect is about to fall into decline...

Several of her fellow apprentices were killed or injured. Some were seriously injured in the last sneak attack. It has been several months, and she doesn’t know how long they can hold on.

The Quanzhen Sect is about to fall in their hands, and its leader Qiu Chuji is almost dying. Now only she can come out to "take charge of the situation."

So Sun Buer did a crazy thing and took a hundred disciples to Xiangyang City.

"Yes!" Sun Buer, holding the sword, bowed to Guo Jing and the others and walked out of the conference room.

Huang Rong then gave a few instructions to the people present. After a while, only Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Huang Laoxie and Hong Qigong were left in the conference room.

Huang Rong's gaze turned to Guo Jing. She noticed that Guo Jing's brows were furrowed and there seemed to be deep worry in his eyes. She couldn't help but feel nervous and asked worriedly.

"Brother Jing, you look worried and seem to be troubled. Are you really worried about the Mongolian army's attack?"

When Guo Jing heard Huang Rong calling him, he came back to his senses and looked at her apologetically: "I was wondering when Liu Hao would come."

"Liu Hao? That brat abducted Ying'er and never came back. I also want to know when he will come back! I want to settle accounts with him!"

Unexpectedly, when Huang Lao Xie heard Guo Jing say Liu Hao's name, he became extremely angry and his face showed a very expressive expression.

Hong Qigong took a gulp from the wine jug in his hand, then looked at Huang Lao Xie and couldn't help but teasing him: "Don't be ridiculous, you can't even beat Xiaoyao Wei, how can you be his opponent?"
