After ordering thirty monks, Xiang Nan did not immediately blow up the gunpowder magazine, but waited for the third watch.
At this time, there is still about one stick of incense time before the third watch.
Xiang Nan just took the time to hold the hands of thirty monks one by one and drain all their internal energy.
The thirty monks are all top-notch masters, each one comparable to Huodu and Dalba, so the combined internal strength is really extraordinary, and Xiang Nan feels like he is bursting from the force.
"Hey, I'm so full~" Xiang Nan couldn't help but burp.
He previously absorbed the internal energy of the three masters of Mongolia, and now he has absorbed the internal energy of thirty monks. In addition to the internal energy he has practiced for decades, as well as the precious snake blood, Bodhisattva snake gallbladder, etc., he is estimated to be at least It has four hundred years of internal strength. It can be said to be unparalleled in the past and the present, and unparalleled in the world. Even Duan Yu and Xu Zhu in the Northern Song Dynasty could not compare to him.
However, Xiang Nan also discovered from this that there is indeed no end to the inner strength.
He originally absorbed the inner energy of thirty monks, and it almost felt like he was about to burst. However, after using the method of guiding qi to return to deficiency, and introducing the internal force of Tanzhong point into the internal organs, the feeling of swelling and cracking will soon disappear without a trace. Moreover, my whole body felt comfortable and I felt light and airy, as if I was about to fly into the sky.
"If I attract all the masters in the world, I might be able to become an immortal and ascend in the daytime." Xiang Nan couldn't help but think, but he immediately gave up this delusion.
First, if he attracts all the masters in the world, then he will offend many comrades in the world. When the time comes, the entire martial arts community will attack him and regard him as the number one evil. By that time, even if his martial arts are unparalleled, he will still be unable to defeat an elephant killed by ants, which will also leave him without a place to bury himself.
Second, immortality is of no use to him. As soon as Mu Nianci dies, he will return to the real world. In this case, why bother seeking immortality?
Anyway, when I go to the world of immortals in the future, there are countless ways to live forever, so there is no point in trying to catch fish in this world.
…
After absorbing the internal energy, Xiang Nan immediately took out his homemade lockpicking tool and opened the door of the gunpowder magazine.
After the door is opened, a corridor leads underground.
Xiang Nan ran along the corridor. When he arrived at the basement, he saw barrels full of barrels and dozens of cannons piled on the ground.
In the era of cold weapons, such weapons were simply black technology, and even thousands of troops could not resist them.
Xiang Nan immediately opened the barrel and saw that it was indeed black gunpowder, and the smell was a bit pungent. He picked up the barrel and poured it all the way to the door.
At this moment, he heard three bangs. Xiang Nan knew that the third watch had arrived, and immediately lit the gunpowder, and then saw a line of fire burning rapidly towards the basement.
Xiang Nan did not dare to neglect and immediately used Qinggong to escape. As soon as I escaped to the outer circle, I felt the earth shake several times, like an earth dragon turning over. With a roar, houses hundreds of meters in radius were trampled, and then I heard a deafening explosion.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan escaped in time, otherwise, even if he was extremely skilled in martial arts, he would have been shattered to pieces in the face of such an explosion.
As soon as Xiang Nan left, he saw flames rising to the sky in the south of the city. Apparently Huang Yaoshi, Hong Qigong and others had also successfully lit the fire.
He hurried to support. After a while, when he arrived at the grassland, he saw the heroes fighting against the Mongolian troops who came to put out the fire.
Although Huang Yaoshi and Hong Qigong were both over eighty years old, their martial arts were still extremely superb. Wherever the wind passed by, enemy soldiers' spears were broken, their spears were broken, and their bodies were littered with dead and wounded. However, the Mongolian soldiers fought fiercely and relied on the masses, but they did not give up.
The heroes knew that the more food and grass burned, the greater the Mongolian army's losses, so they fought desperately to prevent the Mongolian army from putting out the fire.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan immediately stepped forward, using the Wuxiang Sword Qi at full blast, like a human-shaped meat grinder. Wherever it went, there were stumps of limbs, broken arms, and no complete corpses.
"God!"
"God of immortality!"
Upon seeing him, the Mongolian generals suddenly turned pale with fright.
It turns out that a few years ago, Xiang Nan bravely broke into the Mongolian army and captured the fourth prince Kublai Khan. Hundreds of thousands of Mongolian soldiers witnessed him, and they all thought he was a god descended to earth.
The generals who guard the food and grass today were Kublai Khan's personal soldiers back then. They had seen Xiang Nan up close and were extremely impressed.
Now that I see Xiang Nan again, I see that his appearance is almost the same as ten years ago, and I believe more and more that he is an immortal descended from the earth. He didn't dare to fight anymore, so he turned around and ran away.
Seeing that all the generals had run away, the morale of the Mongolian army plummeted, and they ran away with them.
…
Xiang Nan and others saw that the fire had started and it was difficult to save even if they wanted to, so they immediately evacuated.
"The grain and grass were burned, and the gunpowder was exploded. The Mongolian army suffered heavy losses this time, and their morale must have been greatly affected." Huang Yaoshi said with a smile.
"I suffered a critical attack at the beginning. If I were the Great Khan of Mongolia, I would be worried to death." Hong Qigong also said with a smile.
"Good brother, the martial arts you just used is really powerful. What is it?" Zhou Botong asked curiously.
Just now, Xiang Nan was like a demon king, chopping melons and vegetables wherever he went, creating a bloody storm. He was so powerful.
"It's called [Shadowless Sword Qi], and it's a martial art I created myself." Xiang Nan explained.
Originally, his phaseless sword energy was not that powerful. Not only was the distance only about four feet, but he could only control six sword energies at the same time.
But after absorbing the internal energy of thirty monks, his true energy was extremely full, and he used all ten sword energy at the same time. When it dances, it's like ten sharp swords chopping together, just like chopping melons and vegetables.
"Awesome." Zhou Botong praised, "Teach me when you have time."
"Okay." Xiang Nan agreed and immediately led the people back to Xiangyang.
…
"Father-in-law, Master, Brother Zhou, Brother Yang... Congratulations on your triumphant return. We stood at the top of Xiangyang City and saw the flames of Nanyang rising into the sky, and the roar was deafening." Guo Jing said with a smile, "You have really made a great contribution to the people of Xiangyang City. great merit."
"Brother Guo, you don't have to be polite. It's nothing to do anything for the sake of the people." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "However, I guess even if the food, grass and gunpowder are burned, Brother Meng will not retreat lightly."
This was Meng Ge's first attack on the Song Dynasty after becoming Khan. If he gave up halfway and returned in defeat, he would lose all face. By then, those Mongolian nobles may not be willing to obey him, and it will directly affect his rule.
Therefore, he would fight hard and even fight harder than before.
When Guo Jing heard this, he nodded, he also had a premonition.
In the following days, Xiang Nan and Huang Yaoshi jointly designed a twenty-eight-constellation array for this battle, using the five elements to resist the hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops.
Otherwise, the Mongolian army is several times more numerous than the Song army, and it would be impossible to defeat them directly.
After Guo Jing and Wang Jian got the formation, they immediately prepared their troops and trained the formation to prepare for the upcoming war.
At this time, the Song army, people, and heroes in the city all knew that the next few days would be a deadly battle. If the Mongolian army is defeated, Xiangyang City can still be saved, and the Song Dynasty will still have a chance to breathe.
If even Xiangyang City is captured, then the people will have no choice but to die, and the Song Dynasty will no longer be able to survive. Therefore, everyone shared the same hatred and morale, and decided to fight the Mongolian army.
