The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 554

"Your Majesty. It is this person."

"Guo Kan. Guo Kan." I read twice.Ha ha laughed. "This is the highest ranking general of the Yuan army captured alive by our army since the Northern Expedition. General Meng and General Duan. It is indeed a great achievement."

Lu Wenhuan said: "Your Majesty, this is not only since the Northern Expedition. It should be since the Song-Mongol War. Our army captured the highest general of the Mongolian army alive."

"En. General Meng, General Duan. Tell me what happened." I said excitedly.

"Yes. Your Majesty."

In the afternoon, it was half past half (four o'clock).Yuan army coach Boyan saw heavy casualties.In desperation, the order to withdraw troops was issued.And Guo Kan and Suodu led a thousand new army officers and soldiers to cut off the rear.The street fighting in Mingzhou City was fierce.At the end.Most of them are fighting on their own.Meng Tianxiang and Duan Donglou, who were the first to rush into the city, went through many twists and turns.Only a few personal guards around can still get together.Coincidentally.The two came to the north gate of Mingzhou at the same time.then.The broken Yuan army is at the end of the masts and sculls.Although the task of covering the evacuation of the army has been completed.But Guo Kan and others were all scarred.It was divided and surrounded by the Song army.That Guo Kan was extremely brave.Waving a spear in his palm.It was so close that Song Jun around couldn't get close.And the Song army who besieged knew it.This is an important general of the Yuan army.Therefore, no firearms were used.

Meng Tianxiang and Duan Donglou came around.They attacked together.What martial arts are Meng and Duan.That Guo Kan was extremely exhausted again.Where would it be the enemy of the two joining forces.Only lasted five or six rounds.He exhausted himself and was captured.

The two of you talked about the process of capturing Guo Kan alive.Finish listening to the story.It was midnight.

Except for the soldiers on duty at night.Song Jun, who was tired all day, all fell asleep.Although the city of Mingzhou is dilapidated.And they live in houses that lack walls.But still better than camping in the wild.

morning hours.In some remote corners of Mingzhou City.Groups of people in black night clothes emerged from the ground one after another.These men in black work in groups of two or three.In one hand, he carried a wooden barrel full of kerosene.Holding a flint and steel in one hand.Scattered around under the cover of night.

The man in black is very familiar with the roads in the city.Some went straight to the wooden structure of the building.Throw the barrel in your hand towards the house.Immediately the flint was lit; and some came round the walls.Open the ditch cover under the city wall.and threw down the flint.

After the battle.The exhausted Song army just cleaned up the battlefield.Did not search carefully everywhere in the city.So I didn't know that the ditch beside the city wall was actually full of fire oil.

In the beginning.Song Jun and the sentinels who were awakened by the fire thought it was caused by the carelessness of the night watchman.But not for long.Fires broke out in various parts of the city.at the same time.The patrolling soldiers found many men in black who had not yet had time to hide underground.That's when I felt something was wrong.Although the man in black was quickly killed.But the fire is getting bigger and bigger.

"Firefighting. Firefighting." The dark night in Mingzhou City was awakened by the word "firefighting".

The north at the end of June.The weather is very dry.Plus the combustion aid of fierce fire oil.The fire quickly spread in all directions.

Although all sleepy.But the well-trained soldiers of the Song Army did not panic.under the command of their respective superiors.Look around for water.but.Everyone soon found out.The water source in the city is actually quite small.Worse yet.Along the inner wall of the city wall.There is a ditch.There was also a fire in the ditch.Obviously.In this large circle of ditch.not water.But fierce oil.

"It's exactly the same as burning the outer city of Fancheng." Lu Wenhuan, who received the news, quickly came to his senses.

"En. Trojan horse trick. I didn't expect that there were still a few talents in the Yuan army. Order the generals. Don't panic." I was also awakened by the fire.Standing in front of the handsome mansion. "Isolate the source of the fire first. Control the spread of the fire. Then extinguish the fire one by one."

Lu Wenhuan didn't know what a Trojan horse trick was.but.At this time, he couldn't bear to think too much.Immediately convey my order.

The Yuanjun Commander's Mansion where I was located was the original Mingzhou County Government.All built with bricks and bluestone.The surrounding areas were originally inhabited by local gentry and local tyrants.Basically all brick structures.But there was no fire.But it can be seen from the firelight and smoke here and there.The entire city of Mingzhou was engulfed in flames.

After a while.Lu Wenhuan said: "Your Majesty, there is a severe shortage of water in the entire city of Mingzhou. The fires in many places have been connected into pieces. The general has given orders. Except for the soldiers in charge of city defense, all other armies are involved in fighting the fire."

at this time.On a mountain about ten miles north of Mingzhou City.More than a dozen Yuan army generals are standing on the top of the mountain.look south.

Ashu first said: "The city is on fire."

Ali Haiya, who offered advice, said excitedly: "This time. Let's see how Zhao Xuan escapes."

"Ali Hague. If you succeed tonight, you will be the first." Ashu also seemed quite happy.

Bandages wrapped around the body.Atahai, who was clearly injured, followed up and said: "Burn it. Burn it. It's best to burn all these Southern Dynasty people to death. Haha." Atahai laughed loudly.But it is full of hatred.In this silent night.Like a roar from hell.

Watching the fire grow bigger and bigger.Boyan calmly said: "General Arahan, General Zhang Hongfan."

"The end is here."

"Get ready. Wait for Mingzhou to be burned. Attack immediately. To avenge General Guo Kan, General Huaidu and other soldiers."

"Yes. Commander." The two saluted.Then he walked down the mountain quickly.

Although the soldiers in the city tried their best to fight the fire.But the fire continued to grow.Lu Wenhuan and Yuan Ji looked at each other and said: "Your Majesty, Lingfei Empress. The fire around the south gate is not too big. Your Majesty and Empress should go out of the city to avoid it."

Yuan Ji also said: "That's right. Your Majesty. Let's go now." After finishing speaking.Don't wait for me to say yes.Yuan Ji then ordered the guards.Surround me and Fang Ling in the middle.Go to the south gate.

Although very few soldiers were burned to death.But all the way through.The wounded soldiers I saw were extremely numerous.

After a while.I have arrived at the south gate of Mingzhou.Compared with standing here during the day.I actually had the feeling of running away.

Southgate is doing fine.There are basically no open flames on the left and right.The ditch has been filled up with gravel by the defenders.I breathed a sigh of relief.At least.Communication with the outside of the city has not been blocked.

"Do you want the army to withdraw from Mingzhou?" I stopped at the south gate.I thought to myself.

Yuan Ji saw that I was not moving forward.Said: "Your Majesty, there is a lot of smoke in the city. The air is not good. Let's retreat outside the city as soon as possible."

"Wait." I turned around and said to Gongsun Xiaochen who was beside me. "The order..."

at this time.Suddenly there was a loud noise in the sky.immediately.A light flashed.This deafening bang interrupted me.It also made everyone look up.Fang Ling said loudly: "Brother, it's thundering."

The voice just fell.I felt like my head was wet.Involuntarily reached out and touched it.Immediately exultantly said: "It's raining."

The thunder continued.Lightning continued.

Heavy rain slanted down from the sky overwhelmingly.Guards by my side.All the soldiers guarding the city shouted, "It's raining."

This sudden heavy rain seems to be the most anticipated rain in my life.

God will.

The accompanying officials of Qin Tianjian and Gongsun Xiaochen watch the sky every day.But neither was predicted.It will rain in the next few days.And it was pouring rain.

Except to use God's will to explain.Can there be another explanation?

What I didn't expect is.the next day.Gongsun Xiaochen's explanation will be recognized by everyone who knows about it.

Although the rainstorm didn't last long.But enough.The fire in Mingzhou City was quickly extinguished by firefighters sent from heaven.

Everything in the world.Some people are happy and some are worried.Just when the defenders in the city were ecstatic.The Yuan army outside the city was full of sadness.

Only Boyan let out a long sigh.Said: "Send to General Arakhan to withdraw troops."

The other generals on the top of the mountain were all silent.Despite the impact of the rain.in their hearts.All came up with a common idea.That is, the Central Route Army was abandoned by Changshengtian.At least tonight.Changshengtian was not on his side.

After a while.Ashu said: "Generals, go back to camp."

Boyan, who was walking at the end, said to Ashu: "More than 1000 years ago, Zhuge Liang of Shu State trapped Sima Yi of Wei State in the upper valley and burned it. When I looked up to the sky and sighed, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the fire was extinguished. What happened tonight is similar to it. It seems that this is the will of God. I am in danger."

Ashu nodded.He whispered: "Bo Yan. Do your best."

"That's all it takes."

The two war gods in the Yuan army are always full of confidence in front of the soldiers.But both of them knew it in their hearts.Firearms are invincible.Plus what happened tonight.It felt an unprecedented crisis.

The sky is slowly brightening.In the city of Mingzhou.The ecstatic Song Army soldiers didn't feel sleepy at all.In addition to treating the wounded.All under the command of the boss.Carrying out cleanup after the fire and heavy rain.

At this time.I have returned to the handsome mansion.After changing into clean clothes.At Fang Ling's request.Tell the story of the Trojan Horse.The story of the Trojan horse trick is well known in later generations.I spoke very carefully.Not only Fang Ling.Even Yuan Ji, Zhang Quanyi, Lu Wenhuan and others who were on the side listened with gusto.

After speaking.Fang Ling suddenly asked: "Brother, you are a god. Do you know what happened to the heavy rain just now? It could be a coincidence."

The terrain of Mingzhou City is special.In a valley between two mountains.daytime.One hundred thousand troops fought fiercely.The heat emitted by artillery, muskets and more than 2 projectiles gathered in it.It simply cannot disappear in a short time.In the night.It was burned again.Its heat is even more numerous.Heat rises.Sink when cold.Just happened to meet another cumulonimbus cloud drifting across the sky.Thus formed the heavy rain.
