Chapter 231 Resolute
The black dome covers the entire earth, but the lights in Xiangyang City are brightly lit and the noise is shaking the sky. The surging sound can be clearly heard even if it is several miles away.
It is already the end of August, and a thin crescent moon hangs on the dark dome, and the stars in the sky seem to have disappeared tonight.
It’s really dark and windy at night, killing people and setting fire!
Compared with the noisy Xiangyang City, the Mongolian camp outside the city is much quieter. The continuous camp tents that cover the sky are still brightly lit, unlike the stars, it is more dazzling than the stars.
In the endless corners of the camp, there are several unknown places of darkness. Rows of Mongolian infantry wearing sharp edges emerged from the darkness one after another, and disappeared into the thick darkness.
On the top of Xiangyang City, a few torches were swaying in the wind. In the dizzy fire, one or two figures could be seen wandering on the city wall from time to time. If you look at it and clean it up, you will find that the wandering soldiers basically did not look outside the city wall, but were all looking at the brightly lit and lively place in the city.
A few low curses gradually dissipated into the darkness through the wet and hot evening breeze.
Xiangyang City in the dark is like a sleeping ancient giant beast lying on the plate, silent and majestic. If someone can hold an infrared telescope in his hand, he should immediately find that less than two miles away from the city wall, countless red human figures are quietly approaching the quiet city wall.
On the dark city tower that human eyes cannot see at all, two figures stand in the darkness.
"Si, do you think that warm-hearted person will come to steal the city?"
A low voice rang in the darkness.
"Haha, if you don't come, we'll go drink. Here, aren't we going to give Meng Shuai more credit?" The person who spoke paused for a moment and continued, "Actually, I'm just guessing, I hope I won't let me down..."
“…”
Meng Gong's expression was not seen in the darkness, but Jia Sidao could imagine Meng Gong's expression after hearing this sentence.
The two people who spoke were the absolute protagonists Jia Sidao and Meng Gong who should have appeared in the celebration of the reward army!
If Wen Wen Bu Hua's detailed work found that Meng Gong and Jia Sidao were not in the city's mansion to celebrate with the generals of the Jinghu Army, they would probably never give such a message to Wen Wen Bu Hua.
"Mongolia's surge is a bit too quiet! Haha, Meng Shuai, don't worry, it seems that he is gentle and can't sit still after receiving the news..."
"What news?"
“…”
Jia Sidao really wanted to say that I won’t tell you, but after considering Meng Gong’s reaction after hearing this, he gave up and simply chose to remain silent. He did not expect that Meng Gong, who was decisive in the battlefield, had such a hot gossip heart, which really surprised him.
"Hmph, if you don't come to steal the city tonight, I... I will drink you until you can't get into bed for three days!"
“…”
What a powerful threat! Jia Sidao seemed to have seen Meng Gong snatching his ears and cheeks anxiously, and couldn't help but laugh.
"How long has it been since the last rocket shot out, Meng Shuai?"
In order to prevent the sneak attack from being warm-hearted, Meng Gong thought of a stupid solution, that is, every night, the soldiers guarding the city's Jinghu Army would shoot a certain number of rockets out of the city every cup of tea to check whether there were any enemy troops sneaking in to prepare for sneak attacks.
"It's not long before I ejaculated." Meng Gong was obviously a little confused.
"Then let's send a round of exploration rockets out now, and I feel they should have arrived."
“…”
Soon, hundreds of burning rockets shot out from the top of the city on three walls on Xiangyang City, drawing a wonderful curve and falling to the ground, illuminating the open space in front of the city.
"Si-dao, your feeling is not very accurate!"
Looking at the burning rocket illuminating the somewhat dark bare ground, Meng Gong was a little gloating.
Jia Sidao, who was scanning the monoculars, did not speak.
Could it be that if you don’t have a warm mouth, you will really let this great opportunity be?
A faint light flashed in the monocular telescope, but it was like a flash of lightning, which made Jia Sidao's whole body shake.
Here comes!
"Zhao Yi, ordered all the catapults in the city to adjust the range of 150 steps and throw thunderbolt bombs with all their strength! At least ten catapults on each wall are made by my official, fast!"
Putting down the telescope, Jia Sidao said in a hurry.
A figure quickly emerged from the city tower and ran under the city wall.
Meng Gong snatched the telescope from Jia Sidao's hand and looked around desperately, but he saw nothing that could move except those rockets that were gradually extinguishing.
"Like...no one..."
As Meng Gong spoke, countless hissing sounds bloomed with countless Mars things and things lightly crossed the city wall and plunged into the darkness.
"Boom boom boom!"
In the dazzling firelight, the earth was shaking, and the thunderous explosion sounded instantly across the earth, making the inside and outside of Xiangyang City instantly silence. What makes people more dazzling than the thunderbolt sound is the dozens of fire bombs that exploded like a storm blooming in the dark, which was desolate and beautiful.
Countless shrilling howls followed by the thunder sounded within two hundred steps under the three walls.
"Hiss!"
Meng Gong, holding a monocular telescope, clearly saw that in the bursting sparks, countless dense figures were lying on the ground. Who could it be if it weren't a Mongolian?
After the explosion, more shrill howls were still ringing. Hundreds of human-shaped objects that had completely turned into firemen were running or rolling desperately in the dark, igniting a large area of darkness until they fell to the ground without any resurrection, leaving a human-shaped fire burning quietly. The terrifying sound of trumpets made the listeners creepy in this quiet late night.
With so many torches, even without a telescope, you can clearly see countless dense black shadows standing less than two hundred steps under the walls of Xiangyang City.
"Damn it, it's really here!"
Jia Sidao did not answer Meng Gong's words. He knew that if the Mongolian soldiers who were preparing to attack were not smart but were mistaken for intelligence, then today, even if he was prepared, the Jinghu Army would probably suffer a lot of casualties.
If the Mongolian infantry had not calculated the distance of the rockets fired by the Jinghu Army and were lying down at a place that was only a dozen steps away from the rockets. Then the flame reflected the light from a guy's weapon and was seen by his telescope, it was probably that they might have touched the city wall.
In the Mongolian camp, I kept staring at the warm mouth of Xiangyang City. Seeing the countless sparks ignited in the dark, my complex expression and sighed. Although I had expected that it would be a plan to lure the enemy, I still felt a little sad after seeing the failure.
