Chapter 482: No-show

Quanzhou City has been besieged for six days, and the instigation of the capital that should be returned to help is still nowhere to be seen, which makes Pu Shougeng anxious, and it has become his compulsory course to climb the Wanghai Tower every day to check the enemy's situation. The pen "Fun" Pavilion watched www.biquge.info Song army dig out the soil in the trench to build a low breastwork, and gradually heightened it into a high city wall, and then built a fortress between the city walls, built a camp, and became a city outside the city. This made him regret a little bit about preventing Baijianu from attacking the Song army, so that the Song army built an impenetrable walled city to trap himself in it, and the reinforcements blocked it.

Today is April 15th, which is the time limit for the Song army to declare that it will launch a siege of the city, Pu Shou Geng arranged family affairs to let the second son Shi Si Ling Fuzhong private soldiers prepare for battle, once the city is broken, he will do his best to defend the mansion, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements. As soon as the men in the house reached adulthood, whether they were masters or domestic slaves, they were issued with weapons and armor so that they could enter the battle at any time.

After that, Pu Shougeng led 500 personal soldiers to Yacheng to discuss matters and command the army to prepare to resist the attack that the Song army might launch at any time. In order to show his determination to fight the Song army to the end, he deliberately changed into a military uniform, put on armor and a sword, and rode there. The Pu family mansion is in the south of the city, and the Yacheng is the earliest to be built, and with the southward expansion of the center of the city, it has become the north of the city, so he wants to go to the Yamen basically from south to north through the entire Quanzhou city.

"It's so deserted!" Pu Shougeng felt strange as soon as he went out, in the past, there were countless hawkers around his mansion in the morning, selling all kinds of small items to the people in the mansion, but today people have become rare things, and they are very clean.

"Hurry up!" Walking to the main street, Pu Shougeng habitually urged the pro-soldier who led the horse, but he quickly reacted. Quanzhou is a big city with a population of more than 200,000, and the streets used to be bustling at dawn, full of dense crowds, walking shoulder to shoulder, and it was necessary to be driven by personal soldiers to squeeze out a road. But now it's the same as the current limit, and there is no need to shout to drive away, and there is a big road in front of you.

Pu Shougeng traveled all the way, his brows furrowed even tighter, his face was about to rain, and the situation in front of him made his already bad mood worse. At this moment, most of the shops and restaurants that should be open early are not open, only a few small restaurants are open to do business, but the little two who can solicit business at the door are also very idle at the moment, looking at the streets that have become unusually spacious today, and the wild dogs who often want to drive away seem to know that the Song army is going to attack the city, and they have not come out of the nest, let alone someone to take care of their business.

Only when you get to the main street can you be considered popular, but it is not the soldiers who patrol the streets, or the army who is on standby to attack, and the occasional pedestrians are also in a hurry, looking up from time to time to rush home, lest suddenly a stream of arrows fall from the sky and stick to their heads. Pu Shougeng didn't want to look at it anymore, and urged the horse to go fast along the spacious road, passed through the sub-city, and came to the front of the Yacheng. In fact, the Yacheng was originally very small, with a vast area of only two or three hundred meters, which was equivalent to a soil village at best, and it was only a yamen established in the five dynasties.

Pu Shougeng dismounted and entered the yamen, and when he went to the hall, he saw that the people were very complete, and all the people who should have come came, and the civil officials and military generals sat in a room full of people. But some were excited, some sighed, and some were in a daze, and they all stood up and saluted when they saw him come in.

"General Xia, what are the actions of the Song army outside the city today?" There is nothing to say, Pu Shougeng asked as soon as he sat down.

"Governor, at the end of this morning, the general patrolled the city and found no signs of a large-scale movement of the Song army, and they declared that today's siege should be a bluff, deliberately creating chaos, or they gave up because they saw that we were in full battle." Xia Jing got up and reported.

"Well, I heard that the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty has always been cunning, and he likes to take advantage of people's unpreparedness to secretly trick him, you must not slack off, and you must strictly monitor it!" Pu Shougeng nodded and said, but he was even more nervous in his heart, and he couldn't figure out what Song Jun wanted to do.

"What the governor said is very true, although reinforcements from all walks of life are coming to help in the starry night, it will take a few days, and the Song army will definitely step up the siege of the city." Prefect Tian Zhenzi said.

"What is there to worry about, the messenger has been dispatched, and the father must have gathered heavy troops from all over the country to come for reinforcements. Moreover, there are more than 1,000 elites in the city, and there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and it is also wishful thinking for the Song army to capture Quanzhou, let alone break the city in a few days! The hundred slaves waved their hands.

"Now the Song army has surrounded Quanzhou like an iron bucket, internal and external news is cut off, and the enemy situation is even more unknown. Seeing that the Song army had built several earthen platforms in the north of the city and kept moving forward, the last general thought that he wanted to enter the city from the north city, and asked the governor to send additional soldiers to guard the palace! You Yongxian, the guard of the north gate, said that everyone could see that the north gate was the most suitable for attacking, but only 3,000 troops were sent, but heavy troops were deployed at the west gate.

"What do you know, the left prime minister is coming from the west, and as soon as the reinforcements arrive, we can send troops to break the enemy together!" Sun Shengfu shouted loudly when he heard it, he understood his meaning very well, but now in the city, in addition to the city defense army, he is the strongest in his own volunteer strength, but it is the private soldiers of the Pu family, and most of them are deployed around Pufu.

"Xicheng is close to Jinjiang, and it is impossible to deploy a formation at all, the Song army will not attack the city from now on, and the northern city should also be strengthened!" It is a matter of life and death, but You Yongxian does not show weakness.

"Don't fight, I think you can move the power of Nancheng to the north, and as long as you hold the water gate, you can do nothing!" Xia Jing hurriedly played a round road.

"No, Nancheng is a place where merchants gather, how can you despise it!" Pu Shougeng listened and said regardless of his identity, there is his lifeline, you Xia Jing eat me and drink mine, it's okay to beat me now......

Everyone fought back and forth in the yazhong to no avail, but think about Song Jun not moving, why did his own people hurt the harmony. So he changed to talk about Fengyue, chattered about business, and looked forward to the reward after breaking the enemy, and then everyone waited for the Song army to attack the city, but there was no movement in the west mountain until sunset. In order to prevent the Song army from attacking at night, he rested until the top of the moon, but it was still quiet until the drum was beaten three times, Pu Shougeng and everyone patrolled the city again, only to see that the Song army camp was quiet, and there were signs of attack at all, and everyone said that the little emperor of the Song Dynasty had no hair on his mouth and was not firm, he missed the appointment, and everyone stayed up for a day in vain!

At this time, Zhao Yu was ruthless, he looked at Quanzhou City under the moonlight, of course, he was not in the mood to appreciate the moonlight. At this time, the city is brightly lit, the sound of bangzi continues, and lanterns also fall on the city wall to illuminate the city clearly, but there are still soldiers who throw down torches from time to time to check whether there are enemy troops lurking under the city, and the fortification can be described as tight.

When the 'booming ......' is close to ugliness, the sound of the tide is getting louder and louder from far to near, the hull of the Sheji is swaying more and more, the cable is gradually tightened and squeaks, and the tide of the sun is coming as scheduled...... (To be continued.) )
