Chapter 507: Think Beautiful
Pu Shougeng listened to Sun Desheng's return like an inflatable doll that was pierced in the eye, and immediately lost his temper, he knew that the back hand he left was pierced by the other party, unless he could hold out until the reinforcements entered the city, otherwise he could only be empty of people and money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info And now he has seen it through, and he has been instigating troops for three days and is still lingering on the west bank of the Jinjiang River, and he has never been able to cross the river. But the Song army in front of him couldn't wait, but Pu Shougeng didn't have the confidence to guard the residential compound, and in the case of choosing between life and money, he could only give up his wealth to save his life.
"Governor Pu is willing to agree to all the conditions of His Royal Highness, please suspend the attack, suspend the attack, suspend the ......" Tian Zhenzi finally waited until Pu Shougeng spit out and agreed to the conditions, hurriedly went out of the hall and went to the wall to wave the flag and shout, just shouted twice, a string of crossbow arrows shot at him, when the chest passed, his shouting stopped abruptly, spurted out a mouthful of blood, shook twice and planted from the wall, and was immediately angry. He may only understand at the moment of dying that Pu Shougeng is right, the little emperor wants money and life, and he will not let them go.
"Go to the city, retreat and slash!" As soon as Tian Zhenzi died, the left wing army guarding the walled wall was in chaos, and the soldiers jumped down from the wall. Then he ordered the archers to shoot their feet, organized men to block the gaps in the courtyard wall that had been opened by ballistas with knives, and blocked the open gate with stones and sandbags.
"Alas, Governor Tian, you are so naïve!" The situation eased slightly, and Xia Jing dragged Tian Zhenzi's body over, but seeing that his face was covered with blood and his eyes were wide open, he seemed to be very unwilling, he sighed and closed his eyes, got up and shouted, "Listen to the generals, we have already formed a mortal enmity with the Zhao Guan's family, and they will definitely not let us go, only a death battle can have life!" ”
"Fight to the death, fight to the death...... The Left Wing Army participated in the massacre of the city sergeants, of course, they knew how much of a crime they had committed, and Tian Zhenzi had an example here, and they also responded in unison at the moment, and their morale was actually boosted. Xia Jing readjusted the deployment, ordered the big trees in the yard to be cut down, demolished a few houses, rearranged a barricade twenty steps behind the main entrance, and collected some tables, chairs and benches from all over the place, and wooden cabinets to fill the loopholes.
Sun Desheng, who arrived later, took a breath of cool air, these trees are all alien species of the feudal kingdom, and they were carried from afar by big ships, and they were cultivated for many years before they grew into what they are today. And all the furniture that is piled up like rotten wood is worth a lot of money, and it can top all the belongings of ordinary people when they are put outside. His heart ached, but he didn't say anything, now he was almost dead, who cares how much these things are worth, being alive at this moment is the most important thing.
Fifty steps behind the gate is the two-storey front hall, which is built on a high platform, and the situation in front of the door of the building is in full view. In the past, this was the place where the deacons of the palace held meetings, and on the second floor, some gold and silver money were stored to meet daily needs, and idlers were not allowed to go up. But at this moment, it became Xia Jing's command post, he arranged archers in front of each window, and condescendingly shot the Song army that rushed to the door, even if the Song army rushed in, it could be held according to this and block the enemy. And behind the building, he also arranged an ambush, once the barricade was lost, the corridor leading to the back was blocked, and he could still resist step by step, delaying the Song army to rush into the house.
Looking back, there is a small square in the open space between the front hall and the middle hall, which is defended by a thousand private troops in the palace led by Sun Desheng, these people are not only young and strong recruited from all over the world, but also the heroes of the rivers and lakes who have been recruited with a lot of money, in addition to the slaves bought from foreign countries, black, white, blonde and blue-eyed, there are many of them who are brave and ruthless, strong in martial arts, and are not afraid of death. On weekdays, they are kept in the mansion with good food and drink, and they are given high salaries, which is to expect them to sacrifice their lives to protect each other at critical moments, and their combat effectiveness is no less than that of the officials and soldiers of the imperial court.
And at this moment, there is also a group of elite horsemen gathered in the small square, they are the Mongol Tanma Red Army led by Baijianu, although they were damaged in the battle of Beicheng, there are still five or six hundred people. Instigation is a Mongolian general, from the north of the river to the south of the Yangtze River, rare defeats, and the tiger father has no dogs, hundreds of slaves have followed their father since childhood, and in the past few years, they have also experienced hundreds of large and small battles, leading troops to attack Zhangzhou, beheading thousands, and the red army of Tanma is to capture the army of the city to stay in the town, which brings together the essence of an army, and the combat effectiveness is the crown of the armies in Quanzhou.
Looking at the Song army outside the wall, the courtyard has been surrounded, but except for the main gate, it is mainly to block the surrounding bridges, street crossings and lanes, and has not discharged the formation. This made Xia Jing feel a lot more at ease, at least he could use the main force for frontal defense, instead of dividing his troops and wasting his troops. Although the Song army in front of them lined up a position outside a stone's throw away, it was difficult to deploy a brigade due to the terrain, only about 2,000 people, if it were not for the ferocity of their ballistas, it would be difficult to shake the defense line of Pufu at all.
However, Xia Jing still didn't dare to take it lightly, he knew that the Song army still had a 'meteor fire', if the little emperor couldn't attack it for a long time, he was angry and attacked with meteor fire, then the entire mansion would be burned down. And the ballista should not be taken lightly, it was the city towers and city defenses in the south and north of the city that were destroyed by the ballistas, so that they had to abandon the city walls and sub-cities. Now they lined up more than ten ballistas in front of the house, and a few salvos smashed the door of the mansion with half a foot of iron, the courtyard wall knocked out a gap, and the entire tower in front of them collapsed, injuring as many as 100 soldiers, and the people on the wall couldn't raise their heads at all.
"Now I can only hope for the left minister!" Although the situation is worry-free for the time being, if the Song army is desperate to attack in turns, Xia Jing knows that the troops in the palace alone will not be able to support it until this time tomorrow, and if he wants to break the siege, he will have to rely on reinforcements from outside the city. But now there are several piles of wolf smoke in the house, but there is still no sign of troops outside, which makes him feel frustrated and helpless.
"Dutong, Qianhu wants to lead the troops to battle, order us to withdraw the barricades, please decide!" After the Song army shot Tian Zhenzi, the ballista fired a little slowly, and Xia Jing just sat down to breathe a sigh of relief, when a general came up and said.
"Isn't he looking for death when he goes to war at this time?" Xia Jing was shocked when he heard this, the narrow battlefield is not conducive to the attack of the Song army, but it is also not conducive to the conflict of the cavalry.
"Dutong, but it is said that as long as it can attack the city, it can catch the puppet emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and its army will collapse without a fight, and the crisis will be solved!" The ministry will spread its hands and say helplessly.
"Capture the thief and capture the king, what a beautiful thought!" Xia Jing had to admire the courage of the hundred slaves, shook his head and said with a wry smile...... (To be continued.) )
