Yanzhou City has entered the most tense wartime state, even Fan Yong, a civil official, carries a long knife all day long, although he is a powerless literati, but at this time, he has no way to encourage the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Rat San had already told him the importance of this battle, Yanzhou City must be defended, even if the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city are risked, they cannot abandon the city and flee.

The envoy sent to Li Deming's army has been beheaded, and his head is hung high on the flagpole, and Li Deming asked his most heroic knights to go to Yanzhou City and release words: "The Song people are lowly and deceitful to our party, delay time, attack our state city, and kill my people. ”

The dashing cavalry was ready to leave after speaking, but unfortunately no matter how chic the equestrian skills were not the opponent of the crossbow arrows, with the order of the rat three, the ten thousand arrows on the city wall were fired in unison, and the crossbow arrows were like flying locusts, which directly shot the knight and the mount under him into hedgehogs.

Li Yuanhao was about to explode in anger, that was the most outstanding cavalry vanguard under his command, he did not die on the battlefield, but died under the city wall called the battle, but he Li Yuanhao selectively lost his memory, he forgot that the messenger of the Great Song Dynasty was also personally beheaded by him to show the public.

In the hearts of the party members, it is okay to bully the Song people, but it is against the principles of heaven for the Song people to bully them!

But you can't blame the party members entirely, the first person to speak was Fan Yong on the side: "Rat Three!" In front of the two armies, if you don't cut the envoys, what are you doing? ”

This kind of cowardice that came out of nowhere made the three evils of the rat grow from the side of his guts, and he rolled his eyes unconvinced: "Only allow the party to kill my Great Song envoy, and I am not allowed to kill his party and call the battle?" Old man, are you a party member or a Song person?! ”

Rat San's words made Fan Yong speechless, in his opinion, this is not a gentleman's doing, it is a loss of the prestige of the country, but he also doesn't want to think about the majesty of your kingdom that has been killed by others, where does the majesty come from, the so-called majesty of the kingdom is not something you say, nor is it endured again and again, endured out, but fought with fists and strength!

Fan Yong was still a little worried: "If you anger the party members, what if Li Deming leads the army to attack the city?" ”

"Li Deming is really a hero, the death of a warrior will not make him lose his rational judgment, even if I don't kill this person, they should attack the city as they should attack the city, and the army should be withdrawn as well, there will be no difference, I hope he will attack the city, anyway, the women and children in the city are sent away, and the rest are either defenders or the Tibetan army and young and strong.

Li Deming came to attack the city, but it delayed the time of the party members, the Suide army and the security army are already on the way, as long as he dares to attack the city, there is no return, what we have to do now is to defend this Yanzhou, and we must not let the party people take a step forward! Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable, Jingzhao Mansion is behind us, and the Qianli Plain in Guanzhong is also behind us! ”

As long as the people of his family and country are mentioned, Fan Yong's literati will immediately erupt, and his brows will frown slightly: "This Yanzhou City really can't be lost!" Even if the old man gives up this body of flesh and skin, he has to defend this Yanzhou City! ”

After Fan Yong finished speaking, he looked at Rat San strangely and said, "Then why didn't the Suide Army and the Security Army come to help?" ”

Rat San sneered: "Expect them to rush to help? I'm afraid that I can't wait for you and me to die in battle, the generals of the two armies have already sent news that they will set up an ambush on the road when the party members return to Hongzhou, kill and injure the party troops as much as possible, and slow down their marching speed, the implication is that they can't fight the party people head-on, or use the terrain to ambush, or have nothing to do at night to steal the camp. ”

Fan Yong frowned and said: "How can this be reasonable, the food of the king is divided into the worries of the king, how can you be cowardly as a general?!" ”

Rat San checked the eight bull crossbows on the city wall, turned his head and smiled: "It's not that they don't want to, but they really can't beat it, and it's a death to deal with the party members hard!" The party members of the 100,000-strong army are not 100,000 cattle and sheep, not to mention that the back road is cut off, Li Deming at this time is afraid that he has fallen into madness, who dares to fight with a group of madmen, 100,000 madmen! ”

Fan Yong originally wanted to help Rat San check the Eight Ox Crossbow, but as a literati, he was not strong enough, so he could only let go and said: "This is the will of the official family?" ”

"Of course! The official decree made it clear that the Suide army and the security army were only responsible for killing and wounding the soldiers of the party, reducing their combat strength as much as possible, harassing them, and destroying the camp, and they could not fight against the 100,000-strong army. How do you say that, what a thousand miles ......?"

"A thousand miles of embankment destroyed in an anthill! You are also a four-grade military attaché, and it doesn't hurt to read more books when you're fine. ”

Fan Yong's words made Rat San laugh for a while: "Old man, what you said, I was originally a snitch, and I got the errand of the black hand because of the attention of the officials, and I have been running all year round, how can I have time to do learning, but I still admire the knowledge of your old man, and when I have a son in the future, let him be a civil official!" ”

"You, you! Well, if you can get through this hurdle, when you have a son, you will send it to me, not to mention anything else, but the knowledge will be taught! ”

Rat San's eyes lit up: "Then it's decided, the more I look at you now, the more pleasing it becomes, at least you are much better than the hypocrites in the court!" ”

Fan Yong rolled his eyes and left, but when he left, his back was straight......

In fact, Fan Yong was also worried at the beginning, but the words of Rat San and the scene when he sent the women and children away made him feel that as a literati, even if he died, he could not lose his integrity, death was not terrible, what was terrible was that he could not raise his head for the rest of his life, and even left a reputation of cowardice in the history books!

If he stayed at the beginning to protect his reputation, Fan Yong at this time did stay because of his trust in the official family and his responsibility to the Great Song Dynasty, he had countless opportunities to open Yanzhou City in the past few days, and his staff also persuaded him to leave, but he did not do so.

Although the number of black hands led by Rat San is not large, but it gives him a lot of confidence, how can he not see the pigeons flying in and out of Yanzhou City every day, even if Rat San deceives himself, it doesn't matter, as a Wenchen can defend the border for the country, it is worth dying on the battlefield, at least a loyal nickname is indispensable.

At that time, his own family will inevitably have the support of the imperial court, grace, edict and the like, which will naturally be able to keep the peace of the family, but if he can get away with it, Fan Yong doesn't dare to imagine what kind of treatment he will get......

Compared with Fan Yong, Rat San's heart is even heavier, just now he seems to be light-hearted, and his analysis of the situation is reasonable, but all this is the conjecture of the official, what if Li Deming plans to break the net? What if Li Deming attacked Yanzhou City? Rat San really can't be sure that Yanzhou City is not broken.

Once the city of Yanzhou is broken, the consequences are unimaginable, and then the 100,000 party army can go south, but the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty has almost no combat power, even if there are more villagers and strong people, they can't stop him Li Deming's 100,000 army.

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out behind the back of Rat San, what are you going to do, official?!

Now it is said that the party is a trapped beast, it is better to say that Yanzhou City is the real caged bird, and now it is impossible to withdraw from Yanzhou, and the 100,000 party troops have already made Yanzhou City like an iron bucket, and it is impossible to get through.
