Chapter 2717: Only the lonely peak against the lonely city
A large amount of canned pork was poured into these rice porridge, which made the villagers who had eaten the pork cubes so happy that they shouted.
In fact, the meaning of Hai Mutang's doing these things is to keep these civilians excited by new things.
She knew that this was the case whether it was war or work, and that the atmosphere should not be dull, as that would be the most likely to cause fatigue and frustration.
After this night of hard work, the moat was already in its first sight, and the city's defense system gradually became somewhat similar.
At dawn, Hai Mutang saw that the busy men had been working all night and was unable to support them, so he let them enter the city to rest.
Hai Mutang brought a lot of water from the Han River and poured it into the newly dug moat.
Of course, with such a water volume, it is not enough to form a moat, but after the newly dug floating soil in the moat was mixed with water, it immediately formed a piece of mud that was as deep as a slap.
If the Mongolian army really steps in, the scene... will definitely be very exciting.
General Hai Mutang worked hard all night long, increasing his defense bit by bit.
By dawn, Fan Cheng seemed much more reassuring under her management.
Just as the soldiers returned to the city to defend, General Haimutang, wrapped in a coat, lay on the leeward of the city wall, and fell asleep with relief.
At this time, in the Mongolian army camp far outside the city, there was a dark silence, as if a huge storm was brewing!... At dawn, a large number of Mongolian cavalry under Hutou Peak in the south of Xiangyang City began to circumnavigate around Hutou Peak.
They walked around in circles and rushed towards Xiangyang City to the north.
The air was cold and refreshing early in the morning.
There are drops of crystal dew hanging on the grass leaves, and the morning mist floats in the bushes in the mountains, like a sea of clouds.
At this time, the Mongolian army's iron hooves shattered the rare calm. A group of 100 people bypassed Hutou Mountain and penetrated into the city of Xiangyang like sharp arrows! At this time, the bloody hand Liu Ming had already stood at the top of the city. He lifted the cold well water in the water tank on his face a few times and washed his face in a hurry.
Just as he and Shen Yaoguang said the day he met, everything on his right hand was as usual when he washed his face, but there was no feeling on his left hand.
This made half of his face on his left look like someone else was washing it, and it felt extremely weird.
His burned hand was wearing a black glove all year round.
Although his nickname is "Blood Hand", it is too eye-catching to wear red gloves. Liu Ming, who has always been low-key, would not do this.
When Liu Ming began to wake up under the stimulation of Jingshui, the Mongolian cavalry also approached the city of Xiangyang.
At this moment, Liu Ming did not look at them at all, but looked up at Hutou Peak in the distance.
There was no signal sent from the top of the peak, which meant that Marshal Jiang Yuxin believed that it was not time for artillery attacks.
At this time, the Mongolian cavalry drove around the city, completely arrogant.
They almost ran around Xiangyang City for half a circle, and saw almost all Xiangyang City backed by the Han River clearly.
As they tried to approach the Xiangyang city wall, when the enemy rushed to within 100 meters, Liu Ming ordered 500 Huaixi soldiers to open fire without hesitation! Within a range of 100 meters, the Mongolian cavalry who rushed straight were immediately swept down by a large number of gunfires. Then they hurriedly turned their horses and quickly ran out of the range of the rifle on the city.
As they were turning around, the blood-handed Liu Ming immediately ordered the soldiers in the city to stop shooting.
This time, the blood-handed Liu Ming did not use the Khitan Hurricane Camp with extremely accurate shooting techniques, but instead asked the Huaixi New Army to shoot, and their shooting was limited to 100 meters.
Liu Ming cunningly left a hand for himself.
He knew that after the Battle of Hutou Peak last night, the Mongols would definitely have a fixed impression of the range of the troops on Hutou Peak.
Once the distance between the two sides exceeds 100 meters, the accuracy of the shooting accuracy of their rifles will be severely reduced.
So they would never know that at this time, there were still 500 Hurricane Battalion soldiers in Xiangyang City who had been training for four years.
In terms of shooting accuracy, they would soon bring a big surprise to the Mongolian soldiers under the city!... At this time, the Mongolian soldiers under the city of Xiangyang also discovered that the rifles on the city would basically not shoot at targets forty feet away, so they also felt at ease to drive back and forth in their considered safe areas.
Of course, these Mongolian soldiers would not think that Tongzhou rifles could only shoot so far. When they saw that the shooting distance no longer extended to the distance, they knew that this was because of the accurate head problem of the soldiers in the city, so they stopped firing bullets.
This is like their Mongolians. One bow and one arrow can shoot thirty-five feet away, but it does not mean that you can shoot the target you want from such a long distance, so they judge that the soldiers on the field will lose their accuracy if they are thirty-five feet away.
While the Mongolian cavalry was running back and forth under the city, Liu Ming in Xiangyang City was always paying attention to the movements on Hutou Peak.
There was no signal from above to let him fire, so Liu Ming knew that Master Jiang thought it was not the time yet.
So Liu Ming arranged the cannons on the city to be ready to shoot at any time, while waiting for Marshal Jiang's orders.
However, the orders on Hutou Peak have not been delayed, and more and more enemy troops are under Xiangyang City! The Mongols have now walked around from under Hutou Peak and gathered in the distance of Xiangyang City.
They began to investigate the defense of the three walls on Xiangyang City, and were ready to move.
Seeing that the Mongolian army had gathered more and more, forming a scale of 10,000 or 20,000 people under the city of Xiangyang, Liu Ming became more and more nervous.
What's wrong with the mountain?
Why has Master Jiang not sent me a signal to fire until now?
...At this time, in Fancheng, which was across the water from Xiangyang City, Hai Mutang was also paying attention to the situation here.
At the moment, dust was flying under the city of Xiangyang, and large areas of Mongolian cavalry were galloping back and forth.
It was already a certain fact that they came to the city of Xiangyang, and Hai Mutang's heart also hanged.
What's going on?
At this time, the female general thought to himself: What's wrong with Xiangyang City? Why didn't she take action on Hutou Peak?
What is Master Jiang thinking?
Marshal Torre and Gu Wenbuhua from Jiangbei Camp were also watching the situation under Xiangyang City.
Guo Baoyu had already sent Mongolian soldiers to the city of Xiangyang. At this time, Marshal Tore nodded secretly. He already knew that someone was stationed on Hutou Peak yesterday, and Guo Baoyu was testing the situation of the attack being frustrated.
