Chapter 769 (1/2)
”Rong'er, Kublai Khan is worthy of being the most powerful prince in Mongolia. He is not only proficient in the method of platoon and arraying, but also has extraordinary courage.”
”In this morning's fighting, although our army temporarily repelled the Mongolian army, the casualties can not be ignored.”
”But in less than two hours of fighting, the casualties of our army as the garrison side actually exceeded 500.”
”As expected, Kublai Khan is indeed worthy of being a Mongolian elite.”
Xiangyang City, in the general's residence!
Xiangyang guard General Guo Jing is speaking to his wife Huang Rong. His tone is full of dignified meaning to Kublai Khan and Mongolian elite.
Obviously, Guo Jing was extremely afraid of the Mongolian elite under the command of Kublai Khan.
However, in order to stabilize the army's morale, Guo Jing did not dare to tell many Wulin figures and Xiangyang garrison about the real strength of the Mongolian army, which would shake the morale of the army.
”Yes, brother Jing, the Mongolian army is not the same as the Jin army we met before.”
”The Mongolian army is good at shooting. Our few marksmen can be seen everywhere in the Mongolian army. At least half of the casualties in today's war are brought by Mongolian shooters.”
”Even if there were no more than 500 casualties in the Jin Kingdom before.”
”Today Kublai Khan has retreated, but he will return soon.”
”If we really fight like this, Xiangyang will be worried.”
As Guo Jing's wife and husband, Huang Rong naturally understood Guo Jing's worries.
”Well, even if Xiangyang is in trouble, I will fight to stay in Xiangyang for the sake of hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang City and the great song dynasty after Xiangyang City.”
”Rong'er, when can the imperial court send reinforcements?”
Hearing this, Huang Rong smiles bitterly. Why does her elder brother Jing always have fantasies about the imperial court?
Don't he know how many people want to get rid of him?
”Brother Jing, now Jia Sidao, the treacherous Minister of the court, is in power, blinding the emperor.”
”Local officials and generals are also watching the wind and preserving their strength for their own interests. There is no army willing to rescue Xiangyang in the Beijing Huaihe area.”
”What's more, in recent years, under the insidious signal of LV Wende, the chief executive of Beijing Huaihe region, the ordnance and grain supplies to Xiangyang have been reduced by more than half.”
”The most prestigious general Meng of the imperial court led the most powerful Western army to garrison the gate of Sichuan and Shaanxi. He was lack of skills and was unable to rescue Xiangyang.”
”In short, as far as the current situation is concerned, Xiangyang has been completely abandoned by those people. If we stick to it, I'm afraid everyone will die here.”
”Why don't you resign from the post of Xiangyang general and return to Taohua island with rong'er.”
In Huang Rong's mind, any state affairs have nothing to do with her.
If her brother Jing was not here, Huang Rong would not want to come to the Central Plains, Xiangyang, or get involved in the war.
In Huang Rong's heart, returning to Taohua island with her daughter and brother Jing to serve her father is the best pursuit.
But Guo Jing's heart of serving the country and the people kept her.
Marry the chicken, marry the dog and follow the dog.
No matter what Guo Jing wants to do, Huang Rong is willing to live and die together.
”I am a great Song Dynasty, with four or five million soldiers and horses, but none of them is willing to come to solve Xiangyang's dilemma.”
”Even if those people in the imperial court have the courage to gather all the garrison troops of Beijing Huaihe generation, and then transfer some southwest troops for reinforcement.”
”It may not be impossible to have a decisive battle with Kublai Khan. There is no chance of survival.”
