Everything in the Junma Village was arranged, even the feigned "defeat" was done in an orderly manner.

The entire Junma Village, as part of the outer city area of ​​Diaoyu City, was originally the focus of the Mongol army's vanguard attack. In the past few months, in order to capture the Junma Village, the Mongolian army had used all kinds of means including sneak attacks, night attacks, and force attacks.

At this moment, I saw the "defeat" of the Song army in Junma Village, and a vanguard boarded the wall section of Junma Village. The morale of the entire Mongolian vanguard army was greatly boosted. A large number of sergeants followed the ladders and poured into Junma Village.

.

It's just that the outer city defense of Diaoyu City is divided into divided areas, just like the "watertight compartment" of a ship. A breakthrough in one place will not lead to a breakthrough of the entire Diaoyu City defense line. The fall of Junma Village only opened the door to Diaoyu City.

A gap in the outer city of Diaoyu City allowed part of the outer city of Diaoyu City to fall. The Mongolian troops who entered Junma Village immediately discovered that in front of them, there was a thick stone barrier built against the mountain.

The city walls were waiting for them to attack.

The ladders outside Junma Village have not yet been transported up. The Mongolian troops who rushed into Junma Village rushed to the city wall behind. A voice with a Sichuan accent called "Shoot for me." came from above, and a barrage of arrows came from above.

When the shotguns from above came down, the Mongolian troops in the military camp instantly heard screams, and a large number of people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

Not to be outdone, the Mongolian troops in the Junma Village immediately fought back with bows and arrows. However, the walls of the Diaoyu City were extremely tricky and protected the soldiers guarding the city very well. The arrows fired from below could hardly hit anyone behind the wall.

Most of the people were shot into the air.

"Haha, these little turtles are sending us arrows again." The garrison general on the wall behind laughed.

As a last resort, the Mongolian troops who invaded Junma Village, after leaving behind a large number of corpses, had no choice but to evacuate from the second outer wall of the Diaoyu City behind Junma Village and temporarily gave up the attack.

On the wall outside Diaoyu City, Xia Pingan squinted and calmly watched the Mongolian troops in the army camp retreat from the city wall, and then looked at the Wang-character flag at the Mongolian vanguard camp in the distance, his eyes flashing.

, murmured softly to himself, "It's time for you to come."

As the saying goes, you can't trap a wolf if you don't want to give up your children. This military camp that was deliberately abandoned was the child that Xia Pingan threw out in order to attract Wang Dechen, the leader of the Mongolian vanguard army. Only by killing Wang Dechen, the leader of the Mongolian vanguard army, can he be completely angered.

Mengge Khan, who was in the Mongol army at this moment, created the conditions for Diaoyu City to kill the Mongol man, broke the whip of God here, and rewrote the entire course of the war.

This is a chain plan set up by Xia Ping'an based on the historical evolution path. Only Xia Ping'an has such a vision. The other soldiers of the Song Dynasty who are fighting in Diaoyu City at this moment cannot understand the reason behind the deliberate abandonment of the army and horse stronghold by coach Wang Jian.

various strategic considerations.

Sure enough, just a moment later, the news that the vanguard army had captured the Diaoyu City Junma Village and had entered Diaoyu City reached the headquarters of the commander of the Mongolian vanguard army.

"What, we have captured Junma Village." Upon hearing the news from his subordinates, the Mongolian vanguard coach Wang Dechen, who was discussing military affairs with his generals in the tent, suddenly stood up with tiger eyes.

Awesome and slightly excited.

Wang Dechen was not a Han, but a famous general of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. He was also a Mongolian general. He had made countless achievements on the battlefield and was highly regarded by the Mongolian Khan, who appointed him as the vanguard marshal of the Western Route Army.

Unfortunately, Wang Dechen has led his troops here to attack Diaoyu City for several months. Under Wang Jian's command, Diaoyu City is like a rock in the river, unmoved. His vanguard army is already exhausted and has low morale.

How could Wang Dechen not be excited when he thought that after months of hard work, a gap in Diaoyu City was actually opened today, giving him hope of capturing Diaoyu City.

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

of.

"Come here, prepare your horses!" Wang Dechen shouted, immediately put on his armor and went out of the tent. Taking the guards around him, he rushed towards the army and horse stronghold that had just been captured by the Mongolian army.

Arrive at Junma Village, dismount and enter through the ladder

Entering the outer city of the Diaoyu City, Wang Dechen saw the layout clearly and secretly took a breath of air. The Diaoyu City was like an iron turtle, with layers of shells inside one another. They spent several months to conquer the army and horse stronghold, but nothing happened.

Thinking about the fact that there is a city wall inside the military stronghold, if he continues to attack from behind, his vanguard damage will not be smaller than that of the front, but it will be more difficult, and ladders and other things will have to be brought up from below again.

Although there were many warriors from the Mongolian army in the army camp in front of them, everyone's faces looked a little tired and tired. Some people even looked at the stone wall built against the mountain in front of them, and even felt a little fear.

.

On the wall of Diaoyu City opposite the army camp, there are several Song generals in armor who are very conspicuous. If you look closely, you can see that it is not Wang Jian.

Wang Dechen asked his men to stop preparing to attack and retreated. Then, under the gaze of the armies on both sides, he stepped forward alone and came to the front of the formation. He shouted to Wang Jian on the wall behind the military horse village, "Wang

General Jian is here, I am Wang Dechen, I am here to persuade you to surrender, and I will spare your life!"

As the vanguard marshal of the Mongolian army, Wang Dechen was so bold and heroic that he stepped forward alone to persuade them to surrender when the two armies were facing each other. He was almost within the shooting range of Diaoyu City's arrows, which caused a slight commotion among the armies on both sides.

After only a moment of silence on the Diaoyu City wall, a castle gate under the city wall slowly opened. Xia Pingan, who was wearing armor, calmly and confidently stepped out of the city gate with his sword pressed, and came directly to the 20-meter gate opposite Wang Dechen.

Stand still several meters away.

When they saw Wang Jian leaving the city, the Mongol troops were in commotion again.

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

"That's wrong, I'm not here to surrender, I just came down to have a few words with you!" Xia Pingan said calmly.

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

"Hahaha, this Diaoyu City was originally my territory of the Song Dynasty. You dare to stand here, why don't I dare to stand here!"

His aura shocked him.

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

"You and I are both generals, each with his own master. This is not the first time we have fought against each other on the battlefield. We generals will speak in the same way as generals. If you dare to draw your sword here and fight me, and you can kill me,

I will ask the defenders of Diaoyu City to surrender! If you are killed by me, let your people withdraw from the army and horse stronghold!" Xia Pingan squinted at Wang Dechen, "I wonder if you dare?"

The aura on Wang Dechen's body suddenly became as dangerous as that of a 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 been practicing martial arts and shooting since he was a child. He has always regarded himself as a brave man. In the army, he has experienced hundreds of battles and does not avoid swords and arrows. On the battlefield, he once even led his men to attack a city on foot because his mount was killed. Wang Dechen is now

He was still in his prime, and when he heard Wang Jian's challenge, Wang Dechen was not afraid. He only felt his blood boiling all over.

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

!”

The generals and commanders on the city wall responded in unison.

"Okay, I didn't expect that there are such heroic people among the Han people!" Wang Dechen roared, and turned to tell the people behind him, "I am here today to fight General Wang Jian, and fight to the death in a warrior's way.

I also bet on the ownership of Diaoyu City and Junma Village. If I die in battle, you will withdraw from Junma Village and no siege will be allowed within one day!"

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

With a "choking" dragon roar, Xia Pingan had already pulled out the Longquan sword from his waist, pointing the sword to the sky, "Please!"

Wang Dechen also fiercely pulled out the scimitar from his waist, roared, and rushed towards Xia Pingan like a cheetah. He raised the knife and slashed towards Xia Pingan. His movements and reactions were all at a loss.

He is a battle-tested master.

The swords and shadows of the two sides intertwined in the military camp, and sparks flew everywhere. After a series of dazzling jingling sounds, a sword light like a dragon suddenly appeared from Xia Pingan's hand. The two people passed each other in the blink of an eye. Wang Dechen's

He staggered, turned his head with difficulty, and looked at Xia

Ping An glanced at him and said, "Good swordsmanship!

After saying this, Wang Dechen vomited blood from his mouth, dropped the scimitar in his hand, and fell to the ground. A piece of bright red blood spread from his neck.

Xia Ping'an 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 the Mongolian soldiers in the army camp behind them were silent for a few seconds, there was an uproar, and many Mongolian soldiers with red eyes were about to rush up.

Suddenly, a man who looked like a Mongolian lieutenant general yelled and said something loudly in Mongolian to the Mongolian soldiers. The Mongolian soldiers who wanted to rush forward stopped and looked at Xia helplessly.

Return to Diaoyu City safely.

When Xia Pingan entered the city, several Mongolian soldiers came up to restrain Wang Dechen's body. Then the Mongolian soldiers who invaded the army and horse stronghold retreated like the tide.

"General." Xia Pingan entered the city, and all the generals in the city rushed over excitedly.

"After the Mongolian army retreats, recover and strengthen the city defenses of the army and horse village!" Xia Ping'an ordered.

"Yes!" The generals replied with high morale.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Diaoyu City cheered. The news that General Wang Jian killed the enemy's vanguard Marshal Wang Dechen in front of the formation had spread throughout the Diaoyu City. The Mongolian army that was attacking the city suddenly withered.

, except for the Junma Village, the Mongolian troops attacking the city in other places quickly retreated.

Xia Pingan was patrolling Diaoyu City. Soon, amid the cheers in the city, he came to the northwest of Diaoyu City. On the walls of the outer city here, there were several fortresses. On the top of those fortresses were arrows.

Tower, and there are several windows on the lower floor of the Arrow Tower, facing the northwest direction. From the beginning of the war to now, in the past few months, Xia Ping'an's people have blocked those windows with sandbags and wooden boards.

Looking from the outside, the Mongolian troops attacking the city thought it was sealed and had no idea what was underneath.

Specialized sergeants and generals are guarding the outside of this room, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

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

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

Xia Ping'an lifted the red cloth covering the big guy, and a dark cannon with a barrel of almost two meters long revealed its ferocious face in the room - the thunder cannon, the king among the firearms of the Song Dynasty.

Xia Pingan gently stroked the cold and hard body of the thunder cannon. Within a few years of coming to Diaoyu City, Xia Pingan gathered craftsmen to build five thunder cannons, trained five teams of skilled gunners, and placed the thunder cannons.

In the fortress northwest of Diaoyu City, from the time the Mongolian vanguard army attacked Diaoyu City until now, he has kept the five thunderbolt cannons stationary for several months, staying in the fort, waiting for the opportunity.

Xia Pingan checked the gunpowder projectiles and other items stored here. They were all well preserved and ready for battle at any time. He nodded secretly.

"Sir, when will this thunder cannon be allowed to fire? Teach those turtle boys a lesson. In the past few months, my brothers have been unable to wait. They all want this thunder cannon to show its power!" The general guarding here said to him.

Xia Pingan said.

"Without my order, if you dare to use the thunderbolt cannon without authorization, you will be killed." Xia Ping'an said coldly. He looked at the general with a stern face, slowed down his tone, patted the general's shoulder, and looked at the people around him.

The gunner glanced at him and said consolingly, "Let all brothers wait patiently for a few more days. I promise you that I will definitely give you the opportunity to make contributions and leave your name in history. This thunder cannon is not for swatting flies. If you want to fight, you must do it at a discount."
