Chapter 136: Broken Halberds and New Bones Buried in the Sands ยท Five
When Lu Guanying and his family servants rushed to the military fortress, Xiao Hao had just finished training. He saw that the soldiers guarding the pass were all energetic, high-spirited, and obeyed orders, so he couldn't help but be curious about the guards of the pass.
Was this the team that originally guarded here? Which general is in charge of this army, and why is it so extraordinary to run the army?
His Lu Family Manor was settled seven or eight miles outside the town inside Dasheng Pass. When he heard someone asking for help with the method of transmitting sound over a thousand miles, he immediately counted the family servants who knew martial arts in his family to come to help. But thinking about the content of that sentence, he guessed that there must be a shortage of soldiers and food in the city, so he delayed for a few more days and tried to get some food and grass with his own money. Although it was a drop in the bucket, it was better than nothing.
In just a few days, he received another letter from Yangzhou, written by Huang Yaoshi and Feng Heng, asking him to help the Dashengguan Guards as much as he could, and also told him to pay close attention to the figure and appearance of the person who transmitted the sound.
Lu Guanying was very surprised. The ancestor in Yangzhou could hear the sound transmission. The power of the person who transmitted the sound had reached the pinnacle, which was terrifying!
Lu Guanying knew that he had a master in Taohua Island, who was a young man with white hair. At the age of 18, he defeated Wang Chongyang in one move and became the best in the world. He also built Yiying Tower with his own hands. Unfortunately, he broke his legs at such a young age. I heard that he went to the fairy mountain and has not returned for decades. So if he is really the master Xiao, he should be more than 60 years old.
Lu Guanying recalled the voice he heard that day, young and powerful, sonorous and steady, and thought that this time it should be just an accidental coincidence. There are so many people with the same name for so many years that ten hands cannot count them. If the age does not match, it is probably not him.
The guards inside the pass saw him coming to help with his servants and fodder, and asked him if he had heard Xiao Hao's shout. Only then did they understand the purpose of Xiao Hao's inexplicable shout that day.
They thanked Lu Guanying and others and led him to see Xiao Hao and Shi Zhixuan who were training.
Just after noon, these soldiers were eating. Lu Guanying thought that they were in such a difficult situation that they could only barely fill their stomachs, but he was surprised to see that these soldiers had fish, meat, fruit and wine in their meals.
He heard a few soldiers talking:
"The general is really good. Every time he goes out to fight in the wild, he beats a hundred of us alone. If we keep eating like this, will we be able to eat up the whole mountain?"
Another person said: "Tsk - I'm telling you, I heard from Xiao Hao that our general is a star sent from heaven, like Wu Qu from heaven. I wouldn't be surprised even if the general took out two hundred tables of delicacies in front of me!"
Everyone laughed and cursed: "You believe what that bastard Xiao Hao said! Old Hao and Second Hao don't want to talk to him recently, saying that he talks too much about horse racing!"
"What did the general say? He has a chuunibyou!"
The man said unhappily, "Although Xiaohao's brain is a little weird, what he said still makes sense. Look at our general, he fought against thousands of Mongolian soldiers for us on the battlefield for the first time; such a fierce battle, but he acted as if nothing had happened that afternoon; he was away for half an hour and came back with such a banquet; and he brought the Stone Army Division with him, the main force of the Mongolian army had 200,000 troops stationed there, and he was able to succeed in a sneak attack..." Everyone fell
silent, not daring to say a word.
Lu Guanying listened with great interest. After a while, they continued, "What is General Guan? He has such high martial arts skills, but he didn't go to the rivers and lakes to make a name for himself as a hero. He came to the military camp and taught us everything he knew. He is definitely not a traitor!"
Lu Guanying wanted to listen for a while longer, but the soldier who led him was already standing in front waiting for him, so he had to hurry up and catch up.
Xiao Hao had been thinking about it every night during this period, trying to turn Cang Yun's Fenshan Jin martial arts into a practical move, but he never got the hang of it. Shi Zhixuan couldn't bear to watch it, so he asked him to show him Cang Yun's martial arts move by move, and the two of them thought about it together.
Unexpectedly, after Xiao Hao finished sparring with him, in the second half, Shi Zhixuan was able to use it like a real person, even the effects of the skills were the same, Xiao Hao was amazed.
It turned out that Shi Zhixuan's Immortal Seal was like the Great Shift of the Universe. After seeing other people's moves, he could learn a hundred of them. When learning martial arts, he only needed to watch them once to copy 80% or 90% of them. He himself was a genius in martial arts, far beyond the previous Mei Chaofeng who studied the Seven Demons martial arts. With the help of this great master, within half a day, he had learned all the mental methods of Cang Yun.
Shi Zhixuan was a little puzzled and asked, "Ahao uses this set of martial arts, don't you know how to move your true energy?"
Xiao Hao blushed and cleared his throat and said, "Every time I break the void, my body has its own martial arts. I really don't know what the mental method is, I just know how to use it."
Shi Zhixuan thought for a while, lowered his head and smiled, and didn't ask any more.
Xiao Hao is no longer shy about the fact that he is different from others. Anyway, Shi Zhixuan has a good brain, so let him guess.
The newly formed Cangyun Army is still far from being formed. He once thought about using the Jianghu Contribution Points he had saved over the years to buy each of them a set of helper uniforms, but after careful calculation, it is still far from enough, so he can only find a way to earn some more to make up for it.
Suddenly, a message came from outside the account. Xiao Hao looked up and saw Lu Guanying.
Lu Guanying glanced between him and Shi Zhixuan. Seeing the gray hair on Shi Zhixuan's temples and Xiao Hao's age, he mistakenly thought that Shi Zhixuan was the commander in chief. He clasped his fists and said to him, "Lu Guanying from Lujiazhuang heard that the general was in trouble and came to support him!"
Xiao Hao: "..."
Lujiazhuang, Lu Guanying.
Xiao Hao was upset.
He thought that the time and space at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty would be "Broken Void" or something like that. He never expected that after sixty years, he would... come back again? !
Xiao Hao thought of the shouting in his previous world and suddenly felt that he had done something terrible.
Memories flooded his mind like a flood. Xiao Hao's ups and downs were finally wrapped up by a feeling of admiration. He almost couldn't hold back and almost blurted out to ask about Huang Yaoshi's recent situation.
Seeing that no one answered for a long time, Lu Guanying stared at the two of them in confusion.
The soldier who led him in said, "No, no, this is our general!"
Lu Guanying was startled and hurriedly saluted again. He never thought that the commander-in-chief would be so young. He hesitated, "Who is this..."
Xiao Hao calmed down, and after a moment's silence, he introduced, "My army's division commander."
Lu Guanying was embarrassed, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, General."
He reported the supplies and troops he brought to Xiao Hao. Before Xiao Hao could reply, he heard a loud "bang" outside the city, as if the earth was shaking three times.
He looked daunted, and immediately walked out of the military tent. A Song soldier hurried over and said to him, "Here they come! Here they come!"
Xiao Hao frowned, and kept walking outside, saying to the Song soldier, "Why are you panicking! Pass the order down, everyone get ready for battle!"
"Yes!"
Xiao Hao climbed up the city wall. He was as nervous as the soldiers. His heart was pounding and about to jump out. But this day would come sooner or later and they had to face it.
The Mongolian army came in a dark pressure. The round and rolling boulder under the city was the one that had just hit the city wall and made a loud noise.
The strange thing was that the Mongolian army was so powerful, but they stopped three hundred steps away from the city gate and did not rush forward.
Xiao Hao was wondering when he saw the group of people and horses bending their bows and arrows and starting to shoot a row of arrows at the top of the city.
Xiao Hao immediately ordered to dodge. The black arrow cloud was densely nailed to the city wall, and many arrows were tied with notes.
Xiao Hao picked up the next one at random, and the system automatically translated it into simplified Chinese for him: Letter of Persuasion to Surrender.
Xiao Hao sneered twice. This commander has some brains. He probably found that their guards were very fierce and not an easy bone to chew, so he felt a little bit of respect for talent; plus he was so scared by Shi Zhixuan that he thought it would be wonderful if he could defeat the enemy without fighting, recruit them for his own use, and promise them high positions and generous salaries, and add a fierce general. He
made a good calculation, but underestimated them.
He is different from those greedy guards. He will not give up even a single step in this city!
With the Mongolian army in front, the palms of the few hundred people holding their weapons in the city were all sweaty. Facing the pressure of 200,000 people is completely different from facing the pressure of 1,000 people. Even after many days of training by Xiao Hao, the defenders were pale when they saw such a scene.
Xiao Hao ordered people to collect all the bows and arrows on the city wall, and ordered them to prepare the city defense equipment they had made before. Standing on the top of the city, they neither responded to the Mongolian army nor refused explicitly.
The Mongolian army wanted to scare them away with their power and force them to surrender. If they did not obey, they would directly attack the city. The longer this time dragged on, the more uncertain the Mongolian army was about their attitude, and the morale would gradually decline.
The Mongolian army did not receive a response for a long time. The city wall was completely silent. The Song soldiers stood on the top of the city wall without looking around. They gradually realized that the people in this city did not take their voices and persuasions seriously.
Finally, the order to attack the city sounded from the Mongolian army. The soldiers rushed towards the city like a swarm of ants. Xiao Hao raised his arm, and the Cangyun Army immediately lined up and pulled the bowstrings to the full.
As soon as they entered the range, the flying arrows pierced the Mongolian army under the city. One row of archers immediately squatted down to change arrows after shooting, and the other row immediately filled in. This staggered and continuous.
Wusheng Pass is a narrow place. The Mongolian army had to advance in groups when they arrived here. The number of people in each row was limited, otherwise they could not move in parallel. However, the Mongolian army had been fighting with the Song Dynasty for so many years and had long-standing experience in dealing with it. The soldiers in the front row raised their round shields to block the arrows.
When they approached the city, the power of the archers would be greatly reduced.
They charged at a very fast speed, and soon some people arrived at the city. The ladders were set up on the walls of the city gate in rows, and the crowds of people were shaking.
Xiao Hao took two steps forward and curled his lips coldly at the Mongolian soldiers who were trying to climb up under the city.
The Mongolian soldier who met Xiao Hao's eyes was slightly stunned. He hadn't reacted to why the Song army's garrison commander suddenly laughed at him. Then he saw the archers on the city quickly give up their positions, and heavy huge trees slammed down to the city.
This was the inspiration Xiao Hao got from the giant tree flag of the Ming Cult. The thousand-jin huge trees rolled down and killed hundreds of people at once. When luck was good, they could even smash thousands of people. Moreover, they made a huge noise when they landed, which could calm people's hearts. It was extremely practical!
The Mongolian army hurriedly dodged, but the rhythm of the attack did not stop. After being defeated, they quickly made a comeback.
Xiao Hao looked behind him expressionlessly and gave another order.
This time it was more than just logrolls. Huge logs with hundreds of forearm-length spikes were lowered down the ladder. The Mongolian soldiers looked up and were terrified! Damn
it! This thing will pierce your body if you touch it! What's the point of climbing a ladder! Jump down!
