Chapter 511: Split

Maybe Ni Liang put his heart into getting the hundred slaves, maybe Ni Liang really saw through Zhao Mengjin's plan, but Zhao Yu would rather believe that this fool has finally opened his mind, and continuous learning has made him make great progress. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAnyway, the next battle was as he said, Zhao Mengjin attracted the enemy troops in Pufu to the front hall step by step through continuous feints. He then ordered the soldiers lurking on the east and west flanks to use the method of blasting, blasting the seemingly impregnable wall into two gaps of several feet.

After quickly annihilating the enemy soldiers defending the courtyards of the east and west roads, they opened the passage with the main courtyard by continuous blasting, and joined the troops in the martial arts arena behind the middle hall, dividing the Pufu into two parts, and completing the encirclement of the outer palace. At this time, Zhao Mengjin used ballista to bombard the enemy troops gathered in the front hall, completely destroying the palace gate, and the enemy troops suffered heavy casualties and retreated to the barricade. Later, the Song army erected light ballistas on the courtyard wall, and sent archers to the city, condescendingly bombarded the enemy soldiers hiding behind the barricades, and suppressed the enemy archers above the front hall to cover the army's invasion of the palace.

Since the grenade was invented by His Majesty, it has attracted the attention of the generals in the army, and they can see that this thing is not only unstoppable in close combat, but also a sharp weapon for siege. Although this thing is not as far as a bow and arrow, it is extremely powerful, and it explodes a large area. And it is less affected by the terrain, the use method is simple, and the soldiers can master it as long as they have a short training, but because His Majesty has not yet solved the problem of automatic fire, it can only be temporarily used by specialized grenadiers, so all departments have selected a group of soldiers with large arm strength and flexible movements to form a grenadier team.

Under the cover of shield men, the grenadiers threw grenades into the barricades at a distance of about forty paces. The Quanzhou army, which was already pressed by the Song army's ballistae and archers, was smashed by a grenade again, and it was difficult to raise the fighting spirit, and those who could change their children retreated one after another. Xia Jing saw that the Song army broke through two lines of defense in a row, the left wing army suffered heavy casualties, and the Tanma Red Army of Baijianu went out and did not come back, he knew that the front hall could not be defended, and if it was surrounded by the Song army on the lonely building, it would be lifeless, so he led the remnants of the army to retreat.

Xia Jing originally wanted to retreat to the Inner Palace, but when he came out, he found that the situation had changed greatly, and the Song army had taken a detour to occupy the school field between the Inner Mansion and the Outer Palace. The place was big enough, and it was the place where the private soldiers of Pufu practiced martial arts on weekdays, but at this moment it had become an insurmountable obstacle for them, so he could only retreat and enter the back hall to meet Sun Shengfu, who was also isolated here.

"Xia Dutong, how's it going?" Sun Shengfu sent arrows to repel the pursuing Song army, and asked about it.

"Oh, that's not good!" Xia Jing wiped the blood on his face, pointed at his subordinates who had retreated less than a hundred people with him, and smiled bitterly, "How are you here?" ā€

"Alas, the Song army suddenly attacked from both flanks, and after I found out, I hurriedly led the army back to help, and several counterattacks were ineffective, so I could only take refuge here for the time being, and there were only three or four hundred people left." Sun Shengfu sighed.

"It's not a place to stay for a long time, so you still have to try to meet the governor!" The back hall was originally Pu Shougeng's daily office, a place to meet and entertain important people in private, although it became a courtyard, but the place was not big, but the layout was quite exquisite. Now it's also a mess, bookshelves and long cases are used to block the courtyard gate, and the private soldiers under the command of Sun Shengfu are all known as brave on weekdays, and they are all seven injustices and eight are not angry, as if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu provoked them, they could all be pulled over and beaten. But at this moment, he was like a frightened wild dog, his eyes were panicked and flickering, hiding behind the wall and his head, legs and stomach were spinning, and he suffered a big loss in front of Song Jun without asking, and he couldn't be arrogant anymore.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, now that the Song army brigade has invaded the mansion, I'm afraid that we people won't even be able to get out!" Sun Shengfu said in frustration.

"Then what to do, you can't sit still!" Xia Jing frowned and asked, they were surrounded in this square inch of land, and the Song army only needed to set a fire to burn them all here.

"Xia Dutong, even if you can meet with the governor? The Song army has surrounded the mansion, and the reinforcements outside the city have not arrived, and now more than half of the soldiers who have retreated into the mansion have been lost, and only hundreds of guards and gathered slaves under the command of Shi Si are left in the back mansion, but I am afraid that they will be captured before dark! Sun Shengfu said softly with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Do you ...... You're going to surrender? Xia Jing was surprised when he heard that the words were wrong, and he looked around and lowered his voice.

"That old thief originally wanted us to block his gun, if it wasn't for the little emperor to see through his tricks, he would have gone away a long time ago!" Sun Shengfu pulled Xia Jing aside and said.

"Oh, Quanzhou has been surrounded like an iron bucket, how can he escape?" Xia Jing asked suspiciously.

"You don't know that there is a secret passage to the outside of the city in Pufu. At the beginning, he wanted to give up the city defense and retreat to his house, do you think he is for the country and the people? He's actually doing it for his own wealth! Sun Shengfu said with a sneer.

"What do you mean by that?" Xia Jing frowned and said, he knew that he and Pu Shougeng were grasshoppers on a rope, and they were both people who the little emperor would kill, but he didn't expect that he was ready to retreat, but he didn't reveal it to himself at all.

"The old thief didn't expect that the Song army would conquer Nancheng so quickly, so his family wealth would not have time to be transferred, so after the city was broken, he saw that things were not good, so he put you and others into the palace to guard, and asked people to ask for peace in order to fight for time to transfer their property!" Sun Shengfu said, "His family has a lot of wealth, and the Song army is well defended, so he can only secretly use a small boat to transfer it in the dark night. But he was afraid that others would take his things, so he kept his young son Junwen in charge of this matter. ā€

"Well, I said I haven't seen him before, so I went to do such things." Xia Jing's face was also very ugly when he heard this, he gave up the official position of the Great Song Dynasty for him, and made a rebellion, but he still couldn't get his trust, and he thought about Tian Zhenzi running for him but was shot by the Song army, and his heart felt even more desolate.

"But the old thief still hasn't calculated the little emperor, he is ready to sneak away after the transfer of valuable things, ready to borrow these treasures to make a comeback, who would have thought that a few ships were just shipped out last night, today the little emperor personally supervised the siege of the city, and also played a trick and waited for the tide to rise and then blocked the tide gate before launching a strong attack, trapping the old thief in the house, what a retribution!" Sun Shengfu gritted his teeth and said.

"If it weren't for the fact that Master Sun was also trapped here today, wouldn't he have sneaked away with him and left us here to die!" Xia Jing knew that Sun Shengfu was Pu Shougeng's first confidant, and the confidential affairs in the house were all handled by him...... (To be continued.) )
