When Kublai Khan saw that Monk Chen had committed suicide and the Mongolian soldiers were about to cut his body apart, he immediately shouted: "Stop!"
The Mongolian troops swarming up saw Kublai Khan and retreated angrily.
At this time, Kublai Khan got off his horse and walked over. He saw Monk Chen lying on his back among the piles of corpses with arrows stuck in his body, and he sighed inwardly.
He just fired several arrows in the hope that Monk Chen would kneel down to him and make him surrender. He didn't expect Monk Chen to be so strong.
At this time, Kublai Khan took a look and said coldly: "This is Monk Chen, the famous general of the Jin Kingdom. The Great Khan attacked Luoyang for a month and a half, killing and injuring tens of thousands. He didn't do anything to him, but now he is killed by me!" "
After listening to his words, the surrounding Mongolian troops raised their weapons and cheered, "Your Majesty is brave!"
Kublai Khan showed a satisfied smile, then glanced at Monk Chen's body, and solemnly ordered his subordinates, "Cut off the head and report to the Great Khan."
Monk Chen died in battle, and the Jin army outside the city was wiped out by the Mongolian army. As the Jin army was destroyed, Luoyang was easily captured by the Mongolian army.
At dawn, the fighting inside and outside Luoyang ended. The Jin army suffered all casualties and the city of Luoyang was occupied by the Mongolian army.
However, although the Mongolian army occupied Luoyang, the Jin army set fire to the grain depot in the city, and a raging fire broke out in the city.
"Your Majesty, Luoyang has been captured, but the treasury in the city was burned down by the Jin soldiers who retreated into it, and the food in the city was burned to the ground." The general came to report in a hurry.
When Kublai Khan heard that the food in the city was burned, he looked at the thick smoke rising from the city with evil eyes, and said angrily: "These damn gold thieves. Send an order to massacre the city. I want to shock the people of the Central Plains and let them know The consequences of fighting Mongolia.”
There are many cities in the Central Plains. If the Mongolian army needs to attack every city, then the Mongols will die before they occupy the Central Plains.
Therefore, in the face of a resisting city, the Mongolian army must massacre the city. This is not only revenge on the soldiers and civilians defending the city, but also a deterrent to other cities to make them give up resistance, lest the Mongolian army lose men and horses again during the siege.
Because Luoyang resisted the Mongolian attack, Kublai Khan immediately ordered the Mongolian troops entering the city to massacre the soldiers and civilians in the city. The entire city was immediately piled up with corpses, and the Mongolian army left less than a hundred households to clean up the corpses.
When Kublai Khan set up an ambush outside Luoyang City, surrounded and annihilated the Luoyang defenders, and massacred the city of Luoyang, Wokuotai led the army and was rushing to Hulao Pass.
At this time, the army was marching forward in a mighty manner. As it approached Hulao Pass, Wo Kuotai, who was riding on his horse, vaguely heard a burst of thunder coming from the direction of Hulao Pass.
Hearing the sound, Wokuotai and many generals couldn't help but look up at the sky. They saw a clear sky above their heads, and they couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Khan, what is this~" the subordinates around him couldn't help but ask.
Wo Kuotai said with a dark face and a solemn expression, "Keep going."
The army continued to march towards Hulao Pass, and the closer they got to Hulao Pass, the louder the "boom, boom, boom" thunder became, which made people feel suspicious, and the Mongolian soldiers all had fear on their faces.
Not long after, the army arrived in the pass. Subotai, who learned the news, immediately came to greet him. He saw Ogedai hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Great Khan!"
Wo Kuotai heard the thunder behind the door and asked with a dark face: "What's going on! Is that the divine thunder summoned by Zhao Tai?"
Subotai said: "Khan, when Zhao Tai arrived at Guanxia, he pretended to be a ghost, set up a trebuchet, and threw an explosive divine thunder at Guanxia."
Wo Kuotai frowned: "Do you need to use a trebuchet?"
Subotai nodded, "Yes, it was thrown onto the city with a trebuchet, and then exploded. The explosion was so powerful that I was shocked at first, thinking it was a divine thunder from the sky, but later I slowly realized that this It should be a new type of firearm mastered by the Jin Army."
Gunpowder was invented very early and was also used by the Mongolian army, but its main function was to set fires and scare enemies in the Western Regions.
Because the gunpowder made by the Mongols had problems with its formula and manufacturing process, it had never been so powerful. In addition, Zhao Tai's acting skills were excellent, so it misunderstood the Mongolian army.
Of course, after the initial shock and panic, Subotai and others, who had been bombarded for many days, gradually realized that this should be a new type of firearm.
However, despite guessing that this was not a sorcery, the Jin Army's possession of this new weapon still put tremendous pressure on the Hulao Pass defenders.
When Wokuotai heard this, he heard that it was not a sorcery, but a new firearm of the Jin Army, and he felt a little relieved.
After all, it is a new weapon, and the Mongolian army can find a way to possess it. If Zhao Tai knows sorcery, the war will be impossible to fight.
"I want to go to the city to have a look!" Wo Kuotai said immediately.
Subotai was shocked when he heard this, "Khan, this is absolutely impossible. This divine thunder is extremely powerful. Once it hits the ground and explodes, soldiers several feet around will be affected. In the past few days, we have been killed and injured. How can we risk more than two thousand people and sweat a lot of gold?"
After hearing what he said, Wokuotai fell into deep thought. He looked around and saw that the explosion only occurred on Guancheng and an area behind Guancheng. It was probably limited by the throwing range of the trebuchet.
"Speed up a high platform in the pass. I want to climb up to check it out!" Wo Kuotai immediately came up with another countermeasure.
Subotai immediately understood what Ogedai meant. Since the Jin Army's divine thunder needed to be thrown by a trebuchet, a high platform was built outside the range of the trebuchet to observe the situation outside the city.
"The Great Khan is wise!" Subotai said immediately.
Wokuotai waved his hand, "Go and do it quickly!"
"I will have someone build it immediately. You have been tired all the way, Khan. I will arrange a place for you to rest." Subotai said.
But Wokuotai shook his head and asked Subotai to bring him only a chair, then urged Subotai to quickly build a high platform.
In Hulao Pass, there are many materials and many craftsmen. The high platform is built with wood. After a while, a watchtower rises from the ground.
Ogedai simply ate some food and sat down to rest for a while. Subutai came to report, "Khan, the high platform has been built."
Wokuotai was also unambiguous. He immediately stood up and climbed up to the simple high platform.
At this time, he could finally look beyond Guancheng and see the situation of the Jin Army's camp outside the Pass.
He looked out of the city and saw a white military tent. In front of the military camp, there were more than ten trebuchets lined up. With a flick of the pole, a black object rose into the sky. Draw an arc and hit Guancheng.
With a loud "boom" sound, the black ball exploded as it approached Guancheng, sending up rumbling black smoke.
I haven’t heard of sky mines, which require a trebuchet to launch them.
This shocked Wo Kuotai's heart. The Jin Army had such a sharp weapon, but at the same time he also understood that this was indeed not a sorcery, but a new firearm of the Jin Army.
For a moment, Wo Kuotai felt relieved and his fear was reduced.
