Chapter 222 Guo Jing and Huang Rong
Guo Jing stared at the countless large Han army in black armor standing in front of the city, and couldn't help but fell into thinking.
In terms of urgent reports from various cities and counties in the Song Dynasty, the Han Dynasty was a traitor and rebel army.
But Guo Jing had guarded Xiangyang for more than ten years, and even Mongolia in the north did not have such a military appearance.
"They are not rebels at all, but troops from another country."
"Hey, it's such a troubled time." Guo Jing thought about it and confirmed his idea, but in the end he was very helpless. Even if he knew that it was not the rebels but the army of another country, there was nothing he could do.
But relative.
When Guo Jing and the generals of Xiangyang were panicking about the Han army approaching the city.
The people in Xiangyang City were not as afraid and worried as they imagined.
Because the Han Dynasty treated the Han people well and strictly controlled the army, the news spread almost throughout the Song Dynasty.
"The Han army has already attacked. I'm afraid it won't be long before they break the city."
"I heard from a fellow villager in Dali that the Han army was a benevolent and righteous army with strict military discipline. After entering the city, instead of killing the civilians, they gave them food."
"Now our Song Dynasty is corrupt, the emperor is fatuous, and treacherous ministers are in power. We common people can't even eat enough, and we have to pay such harsh taxes. Maybe this time when the Han army breaks the city, our good days will come.
..."
Regardless of the era of Yan and Huang, as long as there is gossip, it will spread quickly.
As for the military discipline of the Han Dynasty, and the rumors of the Han Dynasty's kindness to the civilians.
In this era, the king was fatuous and traitorous ministers were in power. The common people of the Song Dynasty were like the Han Dynasty during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, without enough food and clothing.
Nowadays, the Han Dynasty's brand-new strategy of governing the country, mercy and amnesty for the world, how can we not make the people of Song Dynasty excited and excited?
After all, the Han people are all members of the Han family and are not the Mongolian killing army. They will not massacre the city after entering the city.
So relatively speaking, under the governance of Song Lizong Zhao Yun, the Han Dynasty had virtually conquered the hearts of the people of the Song Dynasty.
The screen changes.
The Han banner in front of Xiangyang City suddenly moved.
"Where are the Han soldiers?" Lu Bu and Zhao Yun shouted angrily, raising their weapons high.
"The mighty Han Dynasty is invincible in every battle."
"Kill, kill, kill..."
Two hundred thousand Han soldiers raised their weapons at the same time and shouted angrily.
The sound of killing resounded throughout Xiangyang, making the Song army at the gate of the city eclipse.
"The king has decreed that anyone who disobeys will be killed."
"All officers and men obey the order and attack the city." Zhao Yun and Lu Bu shouted at the same time.
"promise."
Two hundred thousand soldiers responded in unison, and the army that had stood for a long time moved bravely.
boom!
As soon as the armor moved, the whole earth was shaken, and the city light of Xiangyang seemed to be shrouded in endless and ferocious military evil.
"They are going to attack the city." Guo Jing tensed up and shouted immediately.
"Deploy your defenses immediately. Anyone who escapes from the battle will be killed without mercy." Lu Wenhuan was also extremely panicked. He drew his sword and pointed at the Song soldiers at the city gate and ordered.
"yes."
The Song soldiers at the gate of the city were holding weapons in their hands, extremely anxious, with cold sweat almost breaking out on their foreheads.
The momentum of the army in front of them was too strong, a hundred times more terrifying than the Mongolian army they had encountered before.
The Han's 200,000-strong army advanced at the same time. Dozens of military formations were as neat as one, and the ones at the forefront were not the Han's heavy armored cavalry, but the Han's trebuchets and ballistae.
By bombarding Xiangyang City with ordnance and then destroying it with strong troops, we can capture Xiangyang City.
There were four hundred trebuchets and three hundred ballistae, controlled by infantry, rapidly advancing towards the front of Xiangyang City.
When Guo Jing and Lu Wenhuan who were at the gate of the city saw the strange weapons in front of them, they couldn't help but be stunned?
"What is that?" Both of them asked in surprise.
The trebuchet has been lost for hundreds of years, and the records have been wiped out in the torrent of history. When they attacked Dali that day, Yideng, as a person who studies ancient books, was able to see through it.
"That's the trebuchet."
At this time.
An Yingsu female voice sounded, and the two of them looked at each other immediately.
A young and elegant looking woman walked slowly to the city gate and looked at her face. She was extremely beautiful. When she was young, she might have had a peerless appearance comparable to that of Xiao Longnu.
She is Guo Jing's wife and the think tank of Xiangyang City, Huang Rong.
"Rong'er, why are you here?" Guo Jing asked with concern.
"If I don't come, I'm afraid you will be in danger." Huang Rong said helplessly, looking at the trebuchet advancing in front of the city: "The trebuchet is extremely powerful, and it is not something ordinary people can resist. The enemy army in front of us is firing thousands of stones. This
The city gate will inevitably become a purgatory."
"Then what should we do?" Guo Jing asked.
"There is no way to fight against such powerful siege weapons. There is only one way now, either surrender or evacuate." Huang Rong said seriously.
"Impossible. Xiangyang is an important town in our Song Dynasty. It is related to the key to resisting the Mongols. It must not be evacuated. Moreover, Kaicheng surrender is too much. Our territory of the Song Dynasty can be handed over to others." Guo Jing looked stubborn.
said.
"Guo Daxia is right, Xiangyang must not be lost, let alone surrendered." Lu Wenhuan also said immediately.
See this.
A hint of helplessness appeared on Huang Rong's face, and she walked to the back: "Brother Jing, come here."
"Excuse me." Guo Jing held up his hands to Lu Wenhuan and walked slowly away.
"Brother Jing, please think clearly. The army attacking in front of the city is not a traitor, but a real big country. Compared with the Song Dynasty's ignorance and ignorance today, this Han country not only has strict military discipline, but also loves its people like sons.
, the people of countless cities in the Song Kingdom, including Xiangyang City, are yearning for it." Huang Rong said seriously.
"Rong'er, do you want to persuade me to surrender to the enemy?" Guo Jing said.
"Yes, now if you want to save my Guo family and the Beggar Clan disciples in the city, you have to surrender, otherwise the result will be destruction." Huang Rong said solemnly.
"I, Guo Jing, stand upright and put the protection of my family and country first. It is absolutely impossible for me to surrender to another country." Unexpectedly, Guo Jing stubbornly refused.
"Brother Jing, the people of the Song Dynasty have lost their hearts. Even if you can block the army outside the city, you can't stop the people's hearts for the Han Kingdom." Huang Rong persuaded anxiously.
Huang Rong now understands the situation in the city, and even in the entire Song Dynasty.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was fatuous and incompetent, preying on the people and losing their support. However, the Han Dynasty appeared out of thin air and attacked the city. He did not cause any harm to the people, and he also showed kindness to the people. His reputation has spread far and wide.
As early as when Guo Jing wanted to guard Xiangyang, Huang Rong clearly opposed it, but Guo Jing was too stubborn.
"Rong'er, we are a husband and wife. We can never talk about this matter again. Even if I die, I, Guo Jing, will never surrender to the enemy and betray my country." Guo Jing said coldly to Huang Rong, waved his hands and left.
"Hey, what should we do? If only father and master were here, maybe we could persuade the stubborn brother Jing." Huang Rong's face showed a bitter look.
