Chapter 16 Bloodbath Battle
On the other side, Guo Jing and Huang Rong told each other what had happened in the room. Huang Rong became suspicious of Li Liuyan and told Guo Jing to be careful.
Guo Jing said,"I've been guiding Liu Yan in her martial arts practice for the past month. In all aspects, he has just started practicing martial arts. Judging from his words and actions, he doesn't seem like a crafty person."]
Huang Rong and Zou Mei said,"I heard about this person when I was at Wushuang's place. It seems that they should know each other and have a deep friendship." I heard you say that this person has a good character, but I keep feeling that this person's words are not true.]
Guo Jing said,"Rong 'er, you're filtering it." Putting aside the fact that he knew Cheng Ying and Wushuang, Xiang 'er's hairpin was not fake. This person might have something to hide from me, but who doesn't have something private?]
Huang Rong could only say," Yes, no matter what this person's background is, he doesn't have any disadvantages for us. We'll talk about it after we defeat Mongolia.]
The two of them discussed how to defend against the Mongolia for a while before going to bed to rest.
After not seeing her husband for a few days, Huang Rong saw that her sleeping husband had grown white hair again and thought to herself,[Brother Jing and I have been husband and wife for 30 years. Most of our efforts have been put into Xiangyang City. Even if the city falls, it will not be in vain for Brother Jing and I to die together. It's just that Xiang 'er and Po Lu are still young.]
Li Liuyan and Cheng Ying guarded Lu Wushuang for the entire night. The sky had just brightened when they heard the sound of drums and thunder outside. The Mongolian army had started a new round of attack.
Li Liuyan stopped Cheng Ying from getting up and said,[You are still injured. Rest well here. I will go out and take a look.]]
When they reached the city wall, they saw that Guo Jing and Huang Rong were already there. They hurriedly greeted,"[Hello, Uncle Guo, Auntie Guo.] When Huang Rong saw him yesterday, it was already late, so she took the opportunity to size him up.
Li Liuyan looked out and saw that the Mongolian army was all over the mountains. There were tens of thousands of people. The biggest crowd Li Liuyan had ever seen was the school sports meet. Seeing such a lineup, she was shocked.
The Mongolian soldiers used all kinds of tactics to attack the city. Arrows, firearms, stone, and ladders were all neutralized by the Xiangyang defenders. The march continued from morning to evening. Both sides suffered casualties, but it did not stop.
There were only 30,000 elite soldiers guarding Xiangyang, but there were 100,000 residents. In the past few decades, they had fought against the Mongolia, and almost all of them were soldiers. Li Liuyan saw that regardless of age, women, and children, they were all transporting bows and arrows to help defend the city.
Suddenly, the Mongolian army shouted in unison. It was truly earth-shattering. A nine-yaks flag was raised high, and under the protection of the cavalry, a green umbrella and a yellow canopy, a group of men and horses came forward. The Mongolian Khan, Brother Meng, personally supervised the battle. The morale of the Mongolian army soared. 20,000 of Brother Meng's most elite troops swarmed over, set up ladders, and climbed up the city walls like ants.
Seeing this, Guo Jing focused his energy on his dantian and shouted,"[Brothers, let the Mongolian Tartar Khan see the skills of the good men of Great Song!]] This shout was filled with inner strength, and everyone heard it clearly amidst the shouts of the crowd. The Xiangyang defenders were shocked and fought even harder.
The corpses of the soldiers below the city walls gradually piled up, but the Mongolian soldiers 'attacks intensified.
Pacification Envoy Lu Wende's legs went weak from fear when he saw this. He stuttered,"[Guo…Hero, it seems like we can't…hold on. Let's escape.]]
Guo Jing raised his eyebrows and said sternly,"Lord Lu, why do you say that? The city is here, but the people are here. If the city dies, the people will die!"]
Huang Rong saw the urgency of the matter. If Lu Wende gave the order to escape, Xiangyang would immediately fall. With a swoosh, she placed her sword on his neck and said, If you dare to say the word escape, you will be the first to die!]
Guo Jing saw that all four sides were about to be broken through by the Meng army and ordered,[Make an opening for the Tartars to come up. Hold the other walls!]] He turned to Huang Rong and said,"You stay here and command. I'll go out of the city and fight for a while."] With that, he gathered 4000 soldiers and left the city.
Li Liuyan was shocked at the beginning, then she was afraid. When she saw the people of Xiangyang risking their lives to resist the enemy, she was excited. Seeing the enemy coming in through the gap, she shouted and rushed forward, using the Nine Yin White Bone Claw to grab at the Tartar's head. Although the force could not penetrate the skull, it was still fatal.
Guo Jing knew that the Mongolia army was ten times stronger than Xiangyang and could not fight hard, so he led his troops straight to Mengge's place to kill. When the Mongolian army saw this, they rushed over to save him, but Guo Jing's 4000 troops were made up of martial arts experts. How could they stop him? Guo Jing was getting closer and closer to Brother Meng's tribe. Seeing this, the herald at the side hurriedly shouted,"Whoever kills Guo Jing will be rewarded with ten thousand gold and promoted to the third rank!"] Under the generous reward, the soldiers swarmed over.
Guo Jing saw that the situation was dangerous and that the enemies were increasing in number. Before he could reach Brother Meng, he hurriedly killed the enemies around him and drew his bow. He shot three arrows. One shot the messenger off his horse, another shot the soldier carrying the Nine Yaks Flag, and the third shot went straight for Brother Meng.
The arrow was so fast that Brother Meng's bodyguards hurriedly moved to block it. The arrow pierced through the first bodyguard and hit the second person's chest. Brother Meng saw that if this arrow pierced through the second guard, he would be shot, so he hurriedly retreated under the protection of the guards.
Huang Rong saw it clearly and quickly ordered,[Hurry up and shout that the Mongolian Khan is dead!] The soldiers shouted in unison,"The Mongol Khan is dead!"] [The Mongolian Khan was killed by Guo Jing!]
When the Mongolian soldiers heard this, they hurriedly looked over and saw that the Khan's flag had fallen. The guards had all retreated. How could they tell the truth? They only knew that Han Shan was really dead. The morale of the army was in chaos as they retreated one after another.
When Huang Rong saw this, she quickly ordered the entire army to pursue. The 20,000 soldiers of Xiangyang charged out. Although the Mongolian army retreated, they did not panic, and the Xiangyang army did not press too hard. Only Guo Jing's troops were welcomed into the city.
The battle lasted for a day and was the largest battle in Xiangyang in history. The Mongolians had lost more than 40,000 people, and Xiangyang had lost nearly 20,000.
Li Liuyan's eyes were already red from the killing. Only when Guo Jing placed his hands on her back and transferred his internal energy did she recover.
Li Liuyan couldn't remember how many people she had killed. It was just a mechanical massacre. Her face and clothes were already covered in blood. On the way back to Guo Manor, they heard wails, wives crying for their husbands, mothers crying for their sons.
Back at the Guo residence, when Cheng Ying was bandaging his wounds, Li Liuyan didn't feel any pain. He thought back to what he had done the day before and felt the stench of blood assail his nostrils. He started vomiting non-stop until he even vomited bile. Guo Jing rushed over when he heard this, but he couldn't stop Li Liuyan. He could only tap on her sleeping acupoint to let her have a good sleep. Huang Rong's doubts about Li Liuyan lessened after she found out.
For Li Liuyan, this was a nightmare. He never thought that he would see 50,000 to 60,000 corpses lying in front of him. He never thought that the air would be so bloody that it was nauseating. He would never have thought that dozens of lives would die at his hands.
When he woke up in the morning, Cheng Ying was still awake and was guarding his bedside.
Cheng Ying gave him a sweet smile when she saw him wake up."[How do you feel? Is everything alright?]
Li Liuyan said,"Nothing?" However, when I think about how I've killed dozens of people with my own hands, I feel suffocated.]
Cheng Ying was afraid that Li Liuyan would have a grudge against her, so she said, Don't think like that. These Tartars have invaded our Great Song and killed countless of our compatriots. Every time they went to a place, they would burn, kill, rob, and slaughter unarmed civilians. He had committed a heinous crime. Under their rule, they treated the Song people as the lowest class of people and bullied them as they pleased. You killed the Tartars, and it was considered revenge for the people.]
Li Liuyan pondered over Cheng Ying's words and thought of the Japanese invasion of China. She had wanted to kill them all countless times, but she had never thought of blaming herself.
Why was it so sad to kill the Mongolians? It turned out that he was looking at the Mongolians from the perspective of a future person, seeing them as a part of China. He had forgotten to look at the problem from the perspective of the people of Song.
Li Liuyan felt extremely happy after thinking about this. She remembered that Cheng Ying had been watching over her the entire night and couldn't help but feel grateful. She looked at her and couldn't control her emotions. She got up to kiss Cheng Ying's cheek, but she didn't expect to kiss Cheng Ying's little hand. It turned out that Cheng Ying had seen Li Liuyan's eyes staring straight at him and had guessed that she would do something unusual, so he had dodged her.
Li Liuyan saw that Cheng Ying wasn't angry and only rolled her eyes at him. She became bolder and grabbed Cheng Ying's hand.[Sister Ying, when I master the Nine Yin Scripture, I will use force!]]
