However, as soon as they shot the arrows at the top of the city, Zhao Hu and Zhao Da were frightened by the sound of arrows falling from the city.
The Yuan army actually shot arrows at them in the vast night.
Although the arrows fell behind, Zhao Hu couldn't help but scold, "The messengers are all shooting!" Messengers are all shot! Do you thieves still have any rules? ”
Instead, his shouts revealed his position, allowing more arrows to come at him, so that he could not be killed.
This made Zhao Hu hurriedly stop his mouth, and just slapped his horse and rushed forward.
At this time, the general defending the city in the city is no longer the previous general, but a fearful general, and he is a serious commander. In the army of the Yuan Dynasty, there are four levels of ten thousand households, thousands of households, one hundred households, and brands, and the commander of ten thousand households is the commander of ten thousand households, the most senior general in the army, although there are many military personnel, but the real commander of the army is also full of thousands of people, and the status is naturally far from being comparable to the previous famous and powerless commander of ten thousand generals.
The difference between the two is like that of a major general in a combat unit and a major general in a song and dance troupe. The military ranks are similar, and the real power is far apart.
This Vultures general was naturally quite trusted by Ali Hague, and when he learned that the Song army used arrows to shoot a letter of surrender into the city, Ali Hague realized that he could not let the Song army continue like this. Immediately after the feast, he sent this vultures to take over the duties of the previous general. Before letting him come, Ali Hague had a strict order, strictly prohibiting anyone from going out of the city, and strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching the city.
Zhao Dongting's method of persuading him to surrender really made Ali Hague's heart go up and down, and he was afraid that some generals would not be able to help but surrender.
He now has to defend against the Song army outside the city and the generals inside the city, so he can only send his most trusted generals of the same clan to guard the city, and there is no other way.
This general is really loyal, remembering Ali Hague's words, Zhao Hu and Zhao Da just approached, and he ordered his soldiers to shoot arrows. It's a pity that the moon is dark and the wind is high, and they can't see the city at all, so they can only shoot blindly, and they can't cause any losses to the Flying Dragon Army at all.
"Humph!"
Listening to the sound of the horse's hooves fading away, he snorted heavily, and ordered the soldiers to put away the letter of surrender.
When the letters of surrender that were shot at the top of the city were all collected, he didn't look at them, and burned them clean with a torch.
He didn't have much thought and only faithfully carried out Ali Hague's orders. The two armies clashed, and the morale of the army was paramount, and he also knew what impact these letters of surrender might have in the army. To put it more seriously, it is not impossible to cause the whole army to mutini and kill each other.
However, he and Ali Hague probably couldn't imagine that Rao was that they paid enough attention to the letter of persuasion, and it was a little late now.
Before, the general just said the meaning of the sentence and could not be propagated, but the soldiers did not take it too seriously, although now they did not dare to discuss blatantly, but the private discussants are endless, you pass it to me, I pass it to him, and the matter of the persuasion book is quietly spreading in Lipu County at a very fast speed.
There are too many people who know, and the military order is difficult to stop the public.
And so it has been for two days.
Outside the city, the Song army has not yet attacked the city, but from time to time sent troops to the city to shoot the letter of surrender, and then after being shot back by the Yuan army of the city defender with arrows, the letter of persuasion is not shot, but it gathers people outside the city and shouts in unison: "Ali Lao'er has no talent and no virtue......
The sound is so loud that you can hear it clearly on the streets of the city. The Song army also beat gongs and drums.
This one almost didn't off the generals who defended the city and Ali Hague in the city.
And the soldiers who were originally skeptical about the persuasion of surrender also completely believed it at this time.
The matter of persuasion to surrender was completely "ignited" in Lipu County, and in the past, the soldiers met and greeted each other to ask "are you still hungry", but now it has become "Have you heard of the Song army's persuasion to surrender".
Ali Hague could no longer stop the spread of the persuasion, and he was worried all day long. He could only try his best to stabilize the generals in the army.
Therefore, in the past two days, Ali Hague has been announcing from time to time that the people will go to the government to discuss matters, and there is a sense of beating in the words.
All in all, if you dare to have other thoughts, Lao Tzu will be unkind to you!
The generals are naturally busy on the surface to express their loyalty and are willing to die, but only they know what they think in their hearts.
At this time, Song Jun released another killing move. Zhao Da and Zhao Hu shouted outside the city according to Zhao Dongting's meaning: "If you don't surrender within two days, the army will attack the city!" ”
This time they weren't just acting anymore, as soon as they finished shouting, more than a dozen cannons rang out outside the city one after another.
The grenadiers were hundreds of meters away from the city wall, tilting more than ten shells to the city wall of Lipu County, blasting the city wall into a mess, and even the Yuan soldiers defending the city were killed dozens of people.
This kind of deterrence made the Yuan army in the city even more frightened.
They didn't know that the Song army was running out of shells, and they just thought that if the Song army broke the city with this thing, how would they be able to defend it?
Now most of the Yuan army in the city is still hungry, and they don't even have the strength to hold a gun, how can they fight with the Song army?
On this night, there was a mutiny in Lipu County. Hundreds of Yuan sergeants were patrolling when they suddenly attacked the weakly defended east gate of the Yuan army, wanting to go out of the city and surrender.
The sound of fighting suddenly sounded in the night.
Although this mutinous soldier was finally wiped out by the Yuan army defending the city, the morale of the Yuan army was even more erratic.
Song Jun, who was listening to the movements in the city outside Lipu County, also heard the sound of the fight, and immediately went back to report to Zhao Dongting.
After Zhao Dongting learned about this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a few smiles.
Time passed like this.
After two days.
The mutiny in the Yuan army in Lipu County gradually became unstoppable, and from time to time there were soldiers who stormed the city gate in groups, or chose to secretly leave the city from other places. Although most of them ended in failure, the Yuan army lost a lot of soldiers as a result.
More importantly, the generals in the army found that now there are more and more people in the army who want to go out of the city and surrender, and those soldiers have become mysterious.
Because of what?
for there was no food left in the city.
If this continues, there is no need for the Song army to attack the city, and the soldiers in the city will starve to death.
However, even if Ali Hague's life should not be extinguished, at this moment, a letter eagle finally landed in the army camp.
The eagle keeper took out the secret letter tied to the eagle's leg and hurriedly went to the government office to present it to Ali Hague.
Ali Hague was discussing with the generals in the main hall at this time, and when he heard that the soldiers said that there was a secret letter from Marshal Boyandu, he was so shocked that he stood up from behind the bookcase, hurriedly ran to the soldiers to grab the superstition, and then laughed, "God help me, Marshal Boyandu has waved 100,000 troops to approach Wuzhou!" Just wait for the army to break through the city, and the crisis of our army can be eliminated! ”
There were many generals in the hall who showed joy when they boarded.
But some people muttered: "Marshal, with all due respect, the army has run out of food at this time, how can we hold out until the army comes to save us?" ”
Ali Hague chuckled: "Garrison the city first, if we really can't hold it, we will abandon the city and let the Song army chase our horses." After we left the city, we headed east, and joined the army of Marshal Du as soon as possible, when the Song army would be destroyed. With Marshal Du's 100,000 army, it will not take much time to break through Wuzhou, as long as we hold on for half a month, no, as long as we hold on for ten days, this battle, we will be able to turn defeat into victory! ”
The more he spoke, the happier he became, his waist straight, his eyes full of determination.
Some of the generals hurriedly agreed, while others quietly thoughtful.
Ten days, that's the best-case scenario. Judging from the current situation of the army, I am afraid that it may not be able to hold out for even ten days.
However, after they returned to the barracks, they immediately informed the three armies of the news. This finally made the sluggish military spirit a little more cohesive.
Being able to get this news before the Song army attacked the city was already a blessing in misfortune.
On this night, it was rare that no soldiers in Lipu County mutinied again.
In the early morning of the next day, the Song army outside the city marched towards the city gate, preparing to attack the city.
At the forefront are neat shield soldiers, they are not the kind of sword and shield hands, but specialized shield soldiers, and the shields in their hands are more than a meter high. About 500 meters away from the city gate of Lipu County, the army all stopped, and its tail was not visible. The shield frame shield was in front, and siege vehicles, catapults, etc. were slowly pushed out of the military formation.
Zhao Dongting personally sat in charge of the Chinese army, and next to the chariot was a drum array and a golden array.
Several women's cars were also around, and the flag soldiers stood high on the women's cars, ready to convey Zhao Dongting's orders at any time.
In the front, rear, left, and right armies, each of them also has such a command center.
Su Quandang led the number of people to increase to 20,000 in front of the palace, sitting in the front army, waving flags, swords and guns, murderous, ready to attack the city at any time.
On the city wall, the soldiers of the Yuan army looked at the Song army all over the mountains, and hurriedly drew their bows and arrows, and waited for the battle.
Although their strength was higher than that of the Song army, they couldn't squeeze so many people on the city, and looking at so many people in the Song army, they did feel pressure.
And what frightened them the most was the dozens of swarthy little things next to the Song army's catapult.
Grenadier canisters.
Although there are not many shells left in the Song army, there are still more than a dozen.
Because of the news of Boyan's help, the letter of persuasion failed to completely disintegrate the Deyuan army, and these more than ten shells became Zhao Dongting's next killer move.
