The Glorious Summoner

Everything in the Army Horse Village was well arranged, even if it was a feigned "retreat", it was in an orderly manner.

As part of the outer city area of ​​Diaoyu City, the entire army-horse village was originally the focus of the Mongolian army's vanguard troops. In the past few months, in order to take down the army-horse village, the Mongolian army has exhausted various methods such as surprise attacks, night raids, and strong attacks. Yes, at this moment, seeing the "defeat" of the Song army in the army horse village, some pioneers boarded the wall section of the army horse village, and the morale of the entire Mongolian vanguard army was greatly boosted, and a large number of soldiers continued to pour into the army horse village along the ladder .

It's just that Diaoyu City's outer city defenses are all divided areas, just like the "watertight compartment" of a ship. The breakthrough of one place will not lead to the breakthrough of the entire Diaoyu City's defense line. A gap in the outer city of Diaoyu City caused the occupation of part of the outer city of Diaoyu City. The Mongolian army who entered Junmazhai immediately found that in front of them, there was another thick stone barrier built with strips of stones leaning on the mountain. The city walls await their assault.

The ladders outside the Army Horse Village have not been transported up yet, and the Mongolian troops rushing into the Army Horse Village rushed to the edge of the city wall behind, and there was a voice of "Shoot for me." When the shot from above came down, the Mongolian army in Junmazhai screamed in an instant, and a large number of people fell to the ground with arrows.

The Mongolian army in Junmazhai was not to be outdone, and immediately fought back with bows and arrows. However, the walls of the Diaoyu City were set up extremely tricky, and the soldiers guarding the city were well protected. People, most of them shot into the empty space.

"Haha, these tortoise sons are sending us arrows again." The generals defending the city wall behind laughed.

As a last resort, the Mongolian troops who invaded the army horse village had to withdraw from the second outer wall of Diaoyu City next to the army horse village after leaving behind a large number of corpses, and temporarily gave up their attack.

On the city wall outside Diaoyu City, Xia Pingan squinted his eyes and watched calmly the Mongolian army retreating from the city wall in the military horse village, and then looked at the Wang character flag of the Mongolian army's vanguard camp in the distance, his eyes flickered , muttering softly to himself, "Now, it's time for you to come."

As the saying goes, if you can't bear a child, you can't trap a wolf. The military horse village that was abandoned on purpose is the child that Xia Pingan threw out to attract the Mongolian vanguard commander Wang Dechen. Only by killing the Mongolian vanguard commander Wang Dechen can he be completely enraged At this moment, Mengge Khan, who was in the Mongolian army, created conditions for Diaoyucheng to kill the Mongolian man, folded the whip of God here, and rewrote the entire course of the war.

This is Xia Pingan's chain plan based on the evolution path of history. Only Xia Pingan can have such a vision. The other soldiers of the Song Dynasty who are fighting in Diaoyu City at the moment can't understand the reason behind the coach Wang Jian's intentional abandonment of the army horse village. various strategic considerations.

Sure enough, just a moment later, the news that the vanguard army had captured the Diaoyu City army horse stronghold and had entered Diaoyu City spread to the head account of the Mongolian vanguard army.

"What, we have captured the military horse stronghold" Hearing the news from his subordinates, Wang Dechen, the Mongolian vanguard coach who was discussing military affairs with a group of generals under his command, stood up abruptly, tiger eyes Shengwei, a little excited.

Wang Dechen was not a Han, but a famous general of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. He was also a Mongolian general.

It's a pity that Wang Dechen has led his troops here to attack Diaoyu City for several months. Under Wang Jian's command, this Diaoyu City is like a rock in the river, unmoved. The vanguard army under him is already exhausted. How could Wang Dechen not be excited when he thought of months of painstaking efforts to open a gap in Diaoyu City today and let him see the hope of capturing Diaoyu City.

It is not the first time Wang Dechen and Wang Jian have fought against each other. As early as the tenth year of Chunyou, Wang Jian fought against Wang Dechen in Xingyuan, Wenzhou and other places for many years under the command of Yu Jie, the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Mongolian War. Wang Dechen knew this old opponent very well.

"Come on, prepare the horses," Wang Dechen yelled, put on his armor and went out of the tent, and led the guards around him, and rushed towards the army horse stronghold that had just been captured by the Mongolian army.

When you come to Junmazhai, get off your horse and enter through the ladder.

Entering the outer city of the Diaoyu City, Wang Dechen took a deep breath when he saw the layout inside. The Diaoyu City is like an iron tortoise, with layers of shells. Thinking that there is still a city wall inside the army and horse stronghold, and if he wants to continue to attack from the back, his vanguard must not be damaged less than the front, but it will be more difficult, and the ladder will have to be brought up from below again.

In the army and horse village in front of us, although many Mongolian warriors who came up were crowded, everyone's faces were a bit tired and tired. Some people even looked at the stone wall built against the mountain in front of them, and even had a hint of fear .

On the wall of Diaoyu City opposite the army horse village, there are several Song army generals in armor very conspicuously. If you look carefully, it is not Wang Jian.

Wang Dechen asked his subordinates to stop preparing for the attack, and retreated back. Then, under the watchful eyes of the troops on both sides, he stepped forward alone, came to the front of the formation, and shouted at Wang Jian on the wall behind the army horse village, "Wang General Jian is here, I am Wang Dechen, and I am here to persuade you to surrender, and I will live your life!"

As the forward marshal of the Mongolian army, Wang Dechen was so bold and heroic that when the two armies were confronting each other, he stepped forward alone to persuade them to surrender, almost reaching the shooting range of Diaoyu City's arrows, which made the armies of both sides slightly agitated.

After a moment of silence on the city wall of Diaoyu City, a fort gate under the city wall was slowly opened. Xia Pingan, who was wearing armor, calmly and confidently stood up and pressed his sword, walked out of the city gate, and came directly to Wang Dechen. Stand where Domi is.

After seeing Wang Jian leaving the city, there was another commotion among the Mongolian troops.

"Haha, is General Wang Jian going to surrender to me?" Wang Dechen laughed.

"Wrong, I didn't come to surrender, I just came down to talk to you!" Xia Pingan said calmly.

Wang Dechen's face turned pale, "General Wang is so brave, he dared to go out of the city and stand here to talk to me!"

"Hahaha, this Diaoyu City was originally the territory of my Great Song Dynasty. You dare to stand here, why don't I dare to stand here!" Xia Pingan looked around and laughed. Shocked by the spirit.

"What do you want to say?" Wang Dechen asked.

"You and I are both generals, each of us is our master. This is not the first time we have fought on the battlefield. Our generals will speak in the way of generals. If you dare to draw your sword and fight me here, and you can kill me, I will make the defenders of Diaoyu City surrender! If you are killed by me, I will let your people withdraw from the military camp!" Xia Pingan narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Dechen, "I wonder if you dare?"

The aura on Wang Dechen's body suddenly became as dangerous as that of a fierce tiger, one hand was already pressed on the handle of the knife at his waist, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you serious?"

Wang Dechen has practiced martial arts and archery since he was a child. He has always regarded himself as a brave man. He has experienced many battles in the army and never avoids swords. He was also in his prime of life, and when he heard Wang Jian's challenge, Wang Dechen would not be afraid, he just felt his blood boil.

Xia Pingan turned his head directly and ordered to the defenders on the city wall, "Today I will have a fair fight with the Mongolian Vanguard Marshal Wang Dechen here. If I am killed by Wang Dechen, you can open the city and surrender. This is my order." !"

The generals on the city wall took orders in unison.

"Okay, I didn't expect there to be such a hero among the Han people!" Wang Dechen roared, and turned his head to tell the people behind him, "I will fight General Wang Jian here today, and I will fight to the death in the way of a warrior. I also bet on the ownership of Diaoyu City and Junmazhai, if I die in battle, I will withdraw from Junmazhai, and the attack on the city is prohibited for one day!"

The generals of the Mongolian vanguard army were also shocked and took orders in unison.

With a "choke", Xia Pingan had already pulled out the Longquan sword from his waist, pointing at the sky, "Please!"

Wang Dechen also pulled out the scimitar from his waist fiercely, roared like a cheetah, and rushed towards Xia Pingan fiercely, raised the knife and slashed at Xia Pingan fiercely, his movements, body skills and reactions were all different. He is a battle-tested master.

The swords and swords of both sides intertwined in the army and horse village, sparks splashed in all directions, and after a series of dazzling clanging sounds, a sword light like a dragon suddenly appeared from Xia Ping'an's hand, and the two figures passed by in the blink of an eye. Staggering for a bit, he turned his head with difficulty and looked at Xia Xia.

With a glance at Ping An, "Good swordsmanship!

After saying this, Wang Dechen spat blood out of his mouth, the scimitar in his hand fell to the ground, and he fell to the ground suddenly, a bright red blood scattered from his neck.

Xia Pingan glanced at Wang Dechen who fell to the ground, sheathed Longquan in his hand, and walked calmly towards the gate of Diaoyu City without looking at the Mongolian soldiers.

After a few seconds of silence, the Mongolian soldiers in the military horse village behind them burst into an uproar, and many red-eyed Mongolian soldiers were about to rush forward.

Suddenly, a man who looked like a general in the Mongolian army roared, and said something loudly to the Mongolian soldiers in Mongolian, and the Mongolian soldiers who wanted to charge stopped and looked at Xia Xia. Return to Diaoyu City safely.

When Xia Ping'an entered the city, several Mongolian soldiers came up to contain Wang Dechen's body, and then the Mongolian soldiers who invaded the army horse village receded like a tide.

"General." Xia Pingan entered the city, and a group of generals and schools in the city rushed over excitedly.

"After the Mongolian army retreats, recover and strengthen the army's horse walled city defense!" Xia Pingan ordered.

"Yes!" A group of generals replied with high morale.

In the blink of an eye, the whole Diaoyu City cheered. The news that General Wang Jian killed the enemy's vanguard, Marshal Wang Dechen, had spread throughout Diaoyu City, while the Mongolian army that was besieging the city suddenly languished. , except for the army and horse village, the Mongolian army attacking the city in other places quickly retreated.

Xia Pingan was patrolling the Diaoyu City. After a while, amidst the cheers in the city, he came to the northwest of the Diaoyu City. On the wall of the outer city here, there were several fortresses. The tower, and the lower floor of the Arrow Tower has several windows facing the northwest direction. From the start of the war to the present, in the past few months, those windows have been blocked by Xia Pingan with sandbags and wooden boards. From the outside, the Mongolian army who attacked the city thought it was sealed off, and they didn't know what was underneath.

The outside of this room is guarded by special sergeants and generals, and ordinary people cannot enter.

"General." As soon as Xia Ping'an arrived, the general guarding here immediately saluted and led Xia Ping'an into the room.

In the room of this fortress, a huge guy several meters long was lying in the room, covered by a red cloth.

Xia Pingan lifted the red cloth covering the big guy, and a pitch-black cannon with a barrel almost two meters long showed a ferocious face in the room—thunderbolt cannon, the king of firearms in the Song Dynasty.

Xia Pingan gently stroked the cold and hard cannon body of the Thunderbolt Cannon. After coming to Diaoyu City for several years, Xia Pingan gathered all the craftsmen, built five Thunderbolt Cannons, trained five teams of skilled gunners, and placed the Thunderbolt Cannons In the fortress in the northwest of Diaoyu City, since the Mongolian vanguard army attacked Diaoyu City until now, he has kept the five thunderbolt cannons on hold for several months, staying in the fort, waiting for the opportunity.

Xia Pingan checked the gunpowder and bullets stored here. They were all well preserved and ready to go into battle at any time. He nodded secretly.

"My lord, when will this thunderbolt cannon be fired, and teach those turtle sons a lesson. In the past few months, my brothers can't wait these days, and they all want to let this thunderbolt cannon fire!" The general guarding here said Xia Pingan said.

"Without my order, you dare to use the thunderbolt cannon to strike without authorization." Xia Pingan said coldly. The gunner glanced at him and comforted him, "Brothers, please wait patiently for a few more days. I assure you that I will definitely give you a chance to make a name for yourself in history. This thunderbolt cannon is not for killing flies. God's Whip."

God's Whip? What is God's Whip? The people present didn't understand. However, since General Wang said so, he would definitely not lie to everyone.

The muzzles of the five cannons in the fortress faced the northwest of Diaoyu City, waiting quietly.

Afterwards, Xia Pingan left the gun tower, came to the top arrow tower, and looked towards the west.

In the northwest of Diaoyu City, there is a small hill called Ma'anshan. At this moment, the Mongolian army is repairing the small hill on Ma'anshan.

Build a watchtower to observe the situation in Diaoyu City. The watchtower has been built almost, the mast on the tower has been erected, and the final reinforcement is being done—the five thunderbolt cannons in the gun tower under the arrow tower are facing Looking there, everything is under Xia Ping'an's control.

On the tower here, Xia Pingan arranged for a few people with good eyesight to watch the situation of the observation tower on the opposite side of Ma'anshan here every day.

If there is any movement, report it immediately.

Xia Pingan himself even lived under the blockhouse so that he could respond quickly at any time.

Wang Dechen's body was sent to the Chinese army camp of the West Road Army after dark. Looking at Wang Dechen's body, he was in the center all the time.

Mengge Khan in the army camp was extremely sad and angry.

"Tucheng, let me slaughter the city of Diaoyucheng on the day when the city is destroyed, we must let no chickens and dogs stay in Diaoyucheng, kill them all. Kill them all."

Meng Ge Da Khan was furious at the generals in the big tent, venting his anger, "After tomorrow, I will order the vanguard army to step up the attack on the city. I must see that Wang Jian's head is placed in my big tent." middle."

Sure enough, the Mongolian vanguard army outside the city just rested for a day, and on the second day, they rushed up again and began to besiege Diaoyu City.

Diaoyucheng, on the other hand, took it easy, and under the command of the generals defending the city, calmly dealt with it, and drove back the Mongolian vanguard army time and time again.

After each attack, the Mongolian army that attacked the city took nothing but corpses.

After a few days like this, Xia Pingan asked people to wrap two 30-jin large fresh fish and more than a hundred steamed noodles in straw mats raised in the "Tianchi" in the city, and threw them to the Mongolian army outside the city with a catapult. Before the battle, he left a letter to Mengge Dahan inside, and there was only one line written by Xia Pingan himself, "If you attack for another ten years, you will not be able to capture Diaoyu City, hahaha—Wang Jian!"

Not long after the letter was cast, it was placed in front of Mengge Dahan's desk. Looking at the crazy handwriting on the letter, Mengge Dahan felt that each word was slapped on his face, making his The face is hot.

The army of the Mongol Empire swept across the world, never had it been humiliated like this.

For the first time, Meng Ge Khan was shaken. The situation of the West Army at this moment is actually not optimistic, because the army has been blocked by Diaoyu City for several months, and it has been unable to join forces with the other two armies in EZ on time. The humidity on the side is heavy, and the Mongols are afraid of heat and humidity, and they are not acclimatized to the soil and water, which caused the army to suffer from heatstroke, malaria, cholera and other diseases. Many soldiers fell in the barracks before they attacked the city. The situation is quite serious. In addition, the siege could not be completed, the commander died in battle, and the morale of the vanguard army was already low.

Meng Ge Khan looked through the big tent and looked in the direction of Diaoyu City, feeling like an invisible giant beast was devouring his ambition and his prestige in the entire empire.

The Mongol army has conquered all the countries on the mainland. There are more kings and monarchs who have prostrated before him than there are eunuchs in his palace. How could the army he led stop in front of this small fishing city?

"I want to see how indestructible the Diaoyu City is!" Meng Ge sweated and slapped the table heavily, gritting his teeth.

A few days later, Mengge Khan came to the vanguard army in person. Surrounded by the generals, he came to the observation tower of the vanguard army in Ma'anshan to observe the situation in Diaoyu City up close.

The watchtower is still some distance away from the Diaoyu City. It is outside the range of the catapults in the Diaoyu City, so you don’t have to worry about being attacked by the catapults in the city. Guard of the shield.

What Mengge Dahan didn't know was that when he just arrived at the observation tower in Anshan, Xia Ping'an was already standing on the fortress in the northwest corner of Diaoyu City, holding a single piece polished by a craftsman who made 叆叇. Looking through the binoculars, he looked in the direction of the Ma'anshan Observatory with a serious face, and quickly issued orders one after another.

The fort below the fort faced the sandbags and wooden boards in front of the window in the direction of Ma'anshan, and the black muzzles of the five Thunderbolt cannons, which had taken off their red clothes, pointed directly at the watchtower on Ma'anshan.

Everyone who controls the thunderbolt cannon is busy. The gunners have been idle for several months, just waiting for this moment, calibrating the cannon, loading the powder, inserting the thunderbolt bullet, and waiting for Xia Pingan's order.

In fact, there is no need to calibrate, because when Xia Pingan trained gunners before, he used the plots around Diaoyu City as training targets. The gunners were already familiar with how to aim at each target and how to hit them accurately.

And the watchtower on Ma'anshan is so much higher than the ground, it is the best target for the thunderbolt cannon.

Mengge Khan finally boarded the observation deck and looked towards Diaoyu City.

In the binoculars in Xia Ping'an's hand, Meng Ge Khan's face is clearly visible!

"Wang Jian, the guard of Diaoyu City, and Zhang Jue, the deputy general, and all the officers and men guarding Diaoyu City broke the whip of God today!" Seeing Mengge Dahan on the observation tower, Xia Pingan said to himself, and raised one hand The child swung down violently.

"Fire." Standing next to Xia Ping'an, Zhang Jue shouted loudly~www.NovelMTL.com~Boom

The five blasts of the thunderbolt gun sounded like one sound, and the smoke of gunpowder suddenly rose from several castle towers, like a thunderbolt hitting the fishing city.

The watchtower building built on the hill of Ma'anshan was hit by the thunderbolt bullets of five thunderbolt guns almost at the same time, the mast on the tower collapsed, and the high-speed flying iron pieces and projectiles swept across the whole watchtower building, and the tower was full of blood and flesh. fly.

Xia Pingan watched Mengge Dahan's neck and chest burst out with blood, and his whole body was bombarded by the thunderbolt and fell from the watchtower.

The other Mongolian generals who followed Mengge Khan to the watchtower were also casualties and fell down.

No one in the Mongolian army expected that the Thunderbolt Cannon was hidden in the Diaoyu City, and the observation tower was within the range of the Thunderbolt Cannon in the Diaoyu City.

The moment Mengge Khan fell from the watchtower, he was already dead.

The vanguard camp of the Mongolian army was in complete chaos.
