"Liao Lao Wu, send your people to go immediately, send them all, and order you to break through Linzhang Gate within an hour." On a big ship in Haikou, the thief leader Xie Huaizhong gave Liao Han an order in a hurry.

According to Xie Huaizhong and others, the thousands of soldiers and horses in Quanzhou were all van troops, township soldiers, native soldiers, etc., and there was no forbidden army. That is to say, there is no elite, the city is half soldiers and half peasants, and they do some things such as building bridges and paving roads on weekdays, and they have never fought at all, so Tongshanzhai dares to come to capture the city of Quanzhou.

Xie Huaizhong originally thought that the use of catapults and so on, to Quanzhou city to an overwhelming fireball, stones, arrows and stone attack, will definitely frighten the courage of the Song army in the city, the Song army these miscellaneous troops will not surrender will also abandon the city, escape, and then the army rushed up, in one fell swoop to capture the city of Quanzhou.

But Xie Huaizhong and others did not expect that these miscellaneous Song troops in Quanzhou City were so tenacious, fighting fiercely for half a day, the Haikou did not gain an inch of land, and lost countless men and horses in vain, and the siege equipment was almost lost, which made Xie Huaizhong and others thunderous and anxious.

The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to Haikou, the reason is that Song army reinforcements may arrive at any time, if the elite forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty arrives, what good can there be Haikou? The miscellaneous army in Quanzhou is so capable of fighting, so isn't the elite forbidden army even more powerful? At that point, it will be a big deal.

Therefore, Xie Huaizhong and the others were extremely anxious at the moment, and they were eager to capture Quanzhou City as soon as possible.

"King, my brother's command has lost more than half of it, and he can't fight anymore." Liao Han, the fifth leader of Tongshanzhai, said angrily to Xie Huaizhong when he heard this.

In the first battle of Quanzhou Shihu Water Village, Liao Han's men lost two or three hundred people, and this half-day siege of the city, and hundreds of people and horses were lost, at this moment Liao Han only had seven or eight hundred people left, among which there were many wounded soldiers, so go up to attack the city, wouldn't it be that his own men will be completely lost?

You must know that in the thief's den to make a living, strength is the most important, if Liao Han's subordinates are completely damaged, then Liao Han's fart is not one, and he can be manipulated by others.

"What? So far, the fifth brother still wants to preserve his strength? Xie Huaizhong said coldly when he heard this.

"Strength? What strength does my Liao Lao Wu have now? A group of remnants of the army were defeated, and they were still alive and kicking one by one when the island ** was launched, but now they are dead and wounded, what strength do they have? Well? Big brother, tell me, what strength do you have now? ”

Liao Han was full of grief and indignation, and asked three times in a row, and the meaning of complaining was overflowing.

"Liao Han, you colluded with the government to be unfavorable to my cottage, and now you are afraid of the enemy, what crime should you be guilty of? Come on, take it out and cut it off! Xie Huaizhong was annoyed and angry when Liao Han asked him, so he called left and right to behead Liao Han.

The reason is that firstly, Xie Huaizhong always suspected that the government wanted to capture the old man and let Liao Han back, and secondly, he killed people and urged his subordinates to attack Quanzhou City with all their might.

"You... Xie Huaizhong, you cross the river and tear down the bridge... Let me go... ”

When he heard the words, he pressed Liao Han to the ground, but Liao Han was not convinced and struggled desperately.

"Big brother, it's not a good omen!" Seeing this, Fei Jingyang hurriedly persuaded: "The siege of the city is not good, I will find a way later, why do you have to do this?" ”

"Second brother, do you have any clever plans?" Xie Huaizhong asked when he heard this.

"Big brother, Fei has nothing to do for the time being." Fei Jingyang shook his head and said: "In such a situation in Quanzhou, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the loss is not big now, and withdraw the army back to the island, so as to wait for the opportunity?" ”

Every time he stays in Quanzhou City, Fei Jingyang's worries are one more point, and it can be said that he spends his days like years.

The siege fell into a stalemate, the Song army reinforcements did not know when they came, and the Quanzhou Boat Division was still nowhere to be seen, so how could it not worry Fei Jingyang?

"Withdrawal?" Hearing this, Xie Huaizhong looked at Fei Jingyang and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's so far, I can't go back... ”

This attack on Quanzhou City is not only the Tongshanzhai family, but the East China Sea Qunkou, and what is the purpose of the Donghai Qunkou following the Tongshan Cottage to attack Quanzhou City? It is nothing more than to rob the city of Quanzhou, it is nothing more than to rob the wealth and people in the city of Quanzhou.

Not only will they not agree, but they will also settle accounts with the copper cottage, and they may attack it in groups.

But I have to attack the city of Quanzhou. . .

Xie Huaizhong is already riding a tiger at this moment.

The most important thing is that Quanzhou will let Xie Huaizhong and others leave calmly?

The answer is no, Quanzhou will inevitably chase after the tail,

"Now, these people should be used, big brother, I mean so... How could Fei Jingyang not understand what Xie Huaizhong meant? How can you not know the current situation of Tongshanzhai? So he said to Xie Huaizhong.

"It's up to the second brother's idea." Xie Huaizhong was overjoyed after hearing this.

But Xie Huaizhong was overjoyed, but Fei Jingyang was not the slightest bit happy, and looked at the gunsmoke-filled Quanzhou City worriedly, and was silent for a long time.

The so-called planning is in people, and success is in heaven, everything in this matter has its contingency, but at this moment, Fei Jingyang has some strong premonitions.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Late at night in Quanzhou City

The moonlight was like frost, and the faint moonlight shone on the black iron armor and weapons of the Song army on the city wall of Quanzhou from mid-air, and these iron armor and weapons also seemed to condense a thin layer of frost and dew.

The East China Sea group attacked the city of Quanzhou for two whole days, and at this time, the defenders of Quanzhou could only breathe for a moment at this moment.

At this moment, the defenders of Quanzhou are either sleeping horizontally on the city wall, horizontally and vertically, or simply holding weapons and napping.

After two days of fierce fighting, the defenders were already exhausted.

"Cui Tongju, why don't you take a break?"

The defenders of the Song army were tired and drowsy, but some people did not dare to be tired and did not dare to sleep, not only did they not dare to sleep, but they also cheered up and inspected all parts of the city wall.

After Yao Yu, the prisoner of Quanzhou's soldiers and horses, arranged various patrols, he personally led hundreds of soldiers to personally inspect the city gates and defenses of Quanzhou to prevent thieves from sneaking up at night.

When Yao Yu waited for the inspection to Tongjin Gate, he saw that Cui Yongzi, the general judge of Quanzhou, was leading some officials of the state government and was arranging for the people to transport some stones, fire oil, crossbow arrows and other city defense items to the city wall, so he rushed forward and asked.

This time, the city of Quanzhou was in danger, and the two chief officials of Quanzhou, Li Sanjian of Zhizhou and Cui Yongzi, the general judge, were different from most court officials.

When ordinary officials encounter such bloody scenes, they have already either fled, or hid aside and did not dare to show their heads, and threw everything to their subordinates.

Especially like Quanzhou, which has not experienced war for many years.

Although Li Sanjian and Cui Yongzi tried their best to cover up, it can be seen that the two are still relatively afraid, but the two of them stood on the city wall from beginning to end, which greatly encouraged the morale of the army, and won the respect of Yao Yu and other military attaches and defenders.

In particular, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, also personally went into battle and fought with the enemy, which is extremely rare among officials, almost nothing.

Yao Yu respectfully saluted, which made Cui Yongzi smile slightly, put down the things in his hand and smiled at Yao Yu: "This official also wants to go down to the city to rest, but the situation is forced to allow this official to rest for a while." ”

Defending the city is not only about defending the city and fighting with the enemy, but also about the deployment of people, the deployment of people, the deployment of materials to defend the city, etc., all of which need Cui Yongzi to worry about.

It is important to defend the city and kill the enemy, but the logistics support can also determine the success or failure of a battle.

Li Sanjian, Cui Yongzi and others are well aware of this.

Hearing this, Yao Yu hurriedly nodded yes.

"Where is Li Zhizhou?" Cui Yongqi hadn't seen Li Sanjian for a long time, so he asked.

"Uncle Shi, he... He fell asleep while standing, and the young general had him carried down the city to rest. Yao Yu replied with some embarrassment when he heard this.

After two days of fierce fighting, Li Sanjian was also exhausted, although he tried his best to persevere, but during the suspension of the Haikou attack, Li Sanjian actually fell asleep on the city wall, so Yao Yu ordered someone to carry Li Sanjian to the house under the city gate tower to rest temporarily.

The four soldiers carried Li Sanjian down, and during this time, Li Sanjian didn't know it, and he still fell asleep.

"Li Zhizhou is only in his twenties, so Master Yao doesn't have to be like this." Cui Yongzi smiled slightly and said to Yao Yu: "Master Yao came over to talk to Cui, Cui has something to ask you." ”

"Someone, bring a chair." Yao Yu nodded and instructed his subordinates.

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Cui Yongzi dusted off the dust on the official robe, sat on a square brick scattered on the city wall, and asked Yao Yu: "Master Yao, Li Zhizhou is your uncle, so what kind of person is he?" ”

"What does it mean to be fair..." Yao Yu also sat on top of the square brick and asked in surprise.

You've been with him for two or three years, and you still don't know what kind of person he is? Yao Yu said secretly in his heart.

"Cui means that Li Zhizhou... Is there ... Have the heart of a feudal town? Cui Yongzi pondered for a long time, and then asked hesitantly.

"Cui Tongju, you... What do you mean by that? When Yao Yu heard this, he was immediately shocked and stammered.

The heart of the feudal town is the meaning of separation, this is a major crime of rebellion, a capital crime, and a capital crime that will cause disaster to the whole family, how can Yao Yu not be so frightened?

Cui Yongzi shook his head and was silent.

"Cui Tongju, the strong enemy has not retreated, is there any suspicion that you are under the melon field and Li Xia in your words?" Yao Yu then said indignantly.

If you raise it, you will fight inwardly, Yao Yu thought angrily in his heart at the moment, the strong enemy is still attacking the city, and someone actually suspects that Li Sanjian has a heart? How could this not make Yao Yu is atmosphere abnormal?

Li Sanjian rebelled? What did he rebel with? Is it only Quanzhou?

Cui Yongjun sighed heavily and was silent.

"Thieves steal the city!"

At this moment, the gongs sounded up and down the city wall, and countless defenders woke up from their dreams and rushed to the city wall with their swords.
