Chapter 137: Broken halberds sinking in the sand and new bones buried · VI

Xiao Hao's spiked logs brought great psychological pressure to the Mongolian soldiers who climbed up. As soon as they saw the logs appearing at the top of the ladders they were on, they immediately jumped down from the city. Soon, a large number of Mongolian corpses were piled up under the city.

But logs are like things. Once thrown out, there is no way to take them back. As the defenders of the city, Xiao Hao and his team will eventually run out of equipment. On the other side are 200,000 Mongolian soldiers. Even if they are piled up with people, they can be piled up to death.

Xiao Hao had thought of this situation a long time ago. The ends of the spiked logs thrown out were all attached with huge iron hooks and ropes. He shouted loudly, and the pulleys and ropes quickly pulled the fallen giant logs back, and they could be reused.

Under this crude and primitive iron wood, any advantage in numbers and armor seemed pale and powerless.

For a while, there was a sea of ​​blood and corpses under the city, which was too tragic to watch.

The Mongolian army suffered heavy casualties, and no one could climb the city wall. Such consumption would only add to the sacrifices in vain. Kublai Khan, who wanted to use human wave tactics to force open this pass, had to stop the attack and find another way.

If he could not come up with a good strategy to deal with this weapon of defense, no matter how many people came, they would only suffer losses. Kublai Khan pondered for a moment and ordered the army to retreat and rest first.

When they set out, they divided their troops into three groups, totaling 500,000 troops. In addition to the northern group led by himself, the Great Khan Mengge led the western group to attack Sichuan in person, and the southern group passed through Yunnan, intending to meet up in Ezhou and go straight to Lin'an, the capital of the Song Dynasty. This journey was smooth sailing, but now they are stuck at the small Dasheng Pass, which really makes people angry. They

wanted to go straight to Xiangyang through the three passes of Yiyang, but now they are blocked at Dasheng Pass. Unfortunately, this pass is the narrowest part of this canyon, blocking the middle and making it impossible to escape. The meeting time cannot be delayed. A few days ago, the army also received news that Mengge died in the front line. Kublai Khan did not encounter any powerful defenders along the way, and thought that Mengge's death was a rumor. Today, after seeing what happened at Dasheng Pass, he suddenly became alert.

If Mengge really died in the battle and the position of the Great Khan was vacant, he had to hurry back to Mongolia and hold the Khanship in his hands.

However, the authenticity of this news could not be confirmed at present. If he acted rashly, he would be suspected by his brother.

In any case, it was not appropriate to attack the city today. It would take a long time to take down Dashengguan.

Kublai Khan called back his troops. Xiao Hao saw them retreating from a distance and immediately arranged: "All the external forces team, come out!"

"Yes!"

The neatly lined Cangyun Army was ready to go under the city, each with a sword and a gun in their hands . Xiao Hao had not yet replaced them with the system's auxiliary weapons, but it was barely enough for now.

Xiao Hao carried the sword and shield and shouted: "Get ready to fight with me!"

Defending the city cannot be just defending without attacking. Defending and attacking at any time can make it more intimidating.

Lu Guanying watched the battle the whole time, and was terrified in his heart. When the 200,000 troops attacked the city, he was ready to die in the city gate, but he never expected that Xiao Hao not only defended it, but also wanted to rush out to kill!

There were only more than 200 of them in total. If they opened the city gate and went out at this time, what if the Mongolian army turned back? Wouldn’t it be a waste! His face was pale, and he grabbed Xiao Hao and said: "General, you can't do it! Don't chase the poor enemy!"

Xiao Hao turned his head and looked at him, his eyes were calm and firm, with a strange power that made people feel at ease.

Lu Guanying hesitated so much that he had dodged his hand without a sound. Shi Zhixuan stood in front of him and smiled lightly: "It's okay, the Cangyun Army is not a vegetarian."

Cangyun?

Lu Guanying was slightly stunned, and before he could react, this was the name of Xiao Hao's team. He wanted to persuade him again, but Xiao Hao had already jumped down from the city wall with his great lightness skills, pushed the shield wall in the air, and several shields flew up, intercepting the last team running back to the Mongolian camp.

The gate of Dashengguan was opened, and a row of well-trained soldiers rushed out, each with a ferocious look in their eyes and rushing up like a wolf.

Xiao Hao intercepted in front and shouted loudly: "If you can't take down ten, you will have no food to eat tonight! Those who intercept additional bows and arrows will have extra dishes!"

There was a cheer from the Cangyun army, and they fought hard among the intercepted people.

Lu Guanying stared at the group of Cangyun soldiers in amazement, and was shocked to find that they all seemed to have extraordinary internal skills, and although they could not be called sophisticated, they were definitely practical. They were like long dragons, and their swords were like flowing clouds and water.

What was even more terrifying was that these soldiers hit people with the back of their swords!

Their purpose was not to kill people or consume the number of the opponent, but to take the weapons, armaments and horses of these Mongolian troops!

It was not uncommon for soldiers in the army to know martial arts, but there were not many who were highly skilled in martial arts. The average level could reach this level, and they could definitely be called the elite among the elite.

Although he was still far from knowing, the martial arts of these Cangyun soldiers were still far from the goal set by Xiao Hao.

He couldn't help but praise: "This set of swordsmanship can have a place even in the martial arts world! I wonder if it has a name?"

Shi Zhixuan's face showed a little more pride. He looked from afar at the figure under the city who was tirelessly using chopping and slashing to clear a bloody path, and said proudly: "The general said that this is called the 'Cangxue Knife'."

They talked and laughed happily, but the Mongolian soldiers below were complaining. They had fought with the Song Dynasty for so many years, but they had never seen a Song army so ferocious. Some of them knew some poor official language and cursed: "A hundred or so people, what kind of heroes are you! If you have the guts, come and rob us!"

Xiao Hao rushed over with his shield expressionlessly, without stopping, and asked indifferently behind him: "Someone thinks we are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, how to deal with it?"

The Cangyun Army shouted in unison: "Don't leave him a pair of pants!"

The Mongolian soldier showed a horrified expression on his face.

"Rogue! Robber! Bandit!"

Xiao Hao sighed, and knocked him unconscious with his big shield, and automatically picked up the words in one breath: "You talk too much nonsense." If you don't know, you might think it was a little girl who was raped.

Kublai Khan naturally discovered the movements of their rear troops and immediately ordered a counterattack. Xiao Hao saw from afar that the red names began to regroup, and decisively stopped while he was ahead, and issued another military order: "Pack up and follow me back to the city!"

"Yes!"

This time they returned to the city a few points faster than when they left. Before the Mongolian army ran to the city, the arrows they had just collected were already flying over again.

The city gate was tightly closed again. Xiao Hao stood on the top of the city calmly, with the white silk on his head moving in the wind, just like a person who had just returned from hunting and had a good harvest.

The Mongolian army was so angry that they were about to vomit blood. This would be a situation of countless casualties like before. Kublai Khan looked unhappy and ordered to stop their harassment and retreat to the camp immediately.

Xiao Hao led his men to fight again, captured hundreds of Mongolian soldiers and seized countless military supplies. The victory was celebrated with earth-shaking cheers inside and outside the pass.

Lu Guanying stood in the middle, witnessing it all from beginning to end, with endless fighting spirit and respect surging in his chest. He finally understood how Dasheng Pass had been preserved for such a long time.

No one else would believe the fact before their eyes.

No one else would dare to stay here with the thought of surviving.

Zichan of the Spring and Autumn Period once said, "If it is beneficial to the country, one will risk one's life and death for it."

The army of less than 300 people guarding Dasheng Pass are the real gods of war of the Song Dynasty.

If it comes to an evaluation of this team, Lu Guanying's mind is empty, and the only word left is "respect". He and Shi Zhixuan went to welcome Xiao Hao and the others back. In his heart, he was not grateful for surviving the disaster as expected, but wanted to go through life and death with them and be loyal to them.

[Ding! Your friendship with the hero Lu Guanying has reached the level of close friends. 】

【Ding! The hero won a great victory with a small number of enemies. The achievements of the first battle shocked the world. The status is +2000. 】

【Current achievement: Hidden Yuan Secret · Wish Come True, progress 4746/10000. 】

Xiao Hao ordered a headcount, and the soldier in charge of clerical work reported to him: "General, there are a total of 215 people in Cang Yun, and they are all on the list!"

Xiao Hao's expression paused, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who is missing?"

The man bowed his head and cupped his hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "...When San Hao was defending the city, he saw a Mongolian soldier dodge the rolling log. Before the Mongolian soldier could climb over the city wall, he personally crashed into it and died with him."

"..." Xiao Hao was silent for a while, and ordered: "There is war in this city, so bury him near the town. It's quiet and peaceful there. Send some relief to his family, and come to me for the money."

The soldier agreed seriously.

"From today on, in addition to daily patrols, the entire army will add a routine task!" Xiao Hao shouted loudly: "The underworld is made into wine, and in front of the brothers' tombs, we comfort the dead!" Lu Guanying

felt the sadness in the army, and couldn't help but step forward and pleaded to Xiao Hao: "General, Lu has an unreasonable request."

Xiao Hao didn't know what he was going to do, so he replied: "Just say it."

Lu Guanying said: "Lu is a disciple of Peach Blossom Island. Without the permission of the founder, you cannot join another sect. But I still have a young son who has not yet joined a master, because my wife and I had a son very late, and we spoiled him very much, and he is very naughty. I am willing to contribute all my strength to the great victory over Guan, even if I sacrifice my life for the country, I will not hesitate. I kindly ask the general... to allow my son to join in the future Cangyun."

Xiao Hao was silent for a while and said, "Cangyun is not a team that can protect itself."

Lu Guanying smiled bitterly and said, "I am not seeking shelter for him. Out of selfishness, I also want him to become a pillar of talent in the future. If he can grow up in the barracks, I think it will be better than our old couple pampering him."

Xiao Hao thought about it, and neither agreed nor refused: "Military rules are strict. If he can't bear the hardship, you have to trouble the owner of Lu Manor to take him away in person."

Lu Guanying was delighted to hear this, and bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, general."

Lujia Manor has been in Dashengguan for many years, and is much more clear about the surrounding situation than Xiao Hao. After Xiao Hao arranged the military affairs, he went into the tent with Shi Zhixuan and Lu Guanying to discuss the matter of defending the city.

Cangyun won the first battle, with less than 300 defenders forcing back 200,000 Mongolian troops. Once the news came out, the whole world was shocked.

Although Dashengguan had the advantage of geographical location, such a huge disparity in numbers was really unimaginable. The whole country said that the new general of Dashengguan was a star in the world, who came to protect the Song Dynasty.

Some people even said that if there were more such defenders in the world, there would be no worry about the country being in danger.

Heroes from all over the east, south, west and north gathered at Dashengguan like a hundred rivers converging into the sea. There were a total of thousands of them, all determined to lend a helping hand to this rare and courageous Song army.

When they arrived at the city gate, the soldiers on the city gate had all replaced their weapons with black iron shields and swords that Xiao Hao had equipped them with. They stood there with solemn demeanor and trembling faces, and couldn't help but admire them.

A young man in black armor, who was not as tall as his waist, walked out of the city. His armor was quite similar to that of the soldiers on the city gate. Seeing the mixed crowd of people from all walks of life, he frowned and shouted in a childish voice: "Who are you? Tell me your name!"

The author has something to say: Japan: Who is the best at fighting? !

Soldiers: Your dear father Cangyun will help you! !

The Mongolian army [shaking while holding the remaining pants]: ...Baby is in pain.
