Pu Shougeng also understands that he wants to keep the wealth of the Pu family with his own death, but he still thinks that even if the Song army can capture Quanzhou, it will be difficult to change the outcome of the country, and the world is still the world of the Mongols. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so he knew that he had no way out, and he had no choice but to exchange his death for the kindness of the Yuan Court to the Pu family, so that he could make a comeback.

After explaining the aftermath and sending off the family, Pu Shougeng returned to the temple and mobilized the remaining troops in the house to prepare for the final resistance. At this moment, after the Song army cleaned up the outer mansion and completely controlled the east and west roads, it began to assemble towards the inner mansion. They first blasted the wall from the back garden to open a breakthrough, and gradually advanced towards the center.

The houses in the inner house are dense, the pavilions are numerous, and there are ponds and ponds, at this time the ballistas are no longer usable, and the large army is difficult to deploy, so they can only sweep and fight house by house. The defense of the inner house was the house slaves raised by the Pu family, most of whom were born to the family, who had lived in Pufu for generations, and had already formed a group of interests, so the resistance was also the most tenacious, so the fiercest battle broke out after the siege.

"Zhao Dutong, the sky is about to get dark, Your Majesty said that if the Chinese army can't do it, he will send the army up to solve the battle!" Zhang Shijie came to the command post set up by the Chinese army in the back hall, and as soon as he came in, he said unceremoniously.

"Rest assured, the cardinal has now captured the garden of the inner house, controlled the warehouse, captured the backyard, and are attacking the middle courtyard!" Zhao Mengjin listened to it and hurriedly reported.

"It only took half a day to capture the city, but such a courtyard has not been taken for a day, how did this battle be fought!" Zhang Shijie said with a cold face, obviously still dissatisfied with the speed of the Chinese army's attack, "Now the instigated capital army has reached the north of the city and launched several attacks, although they have all been repulsed, but tomorrow at the latest, the enemy's other reinforcements will also arrive, and the offensive will be more fierce." At that time, the Chinese army will serve as a reserve to reinforce the front and rear armies at any time, but the war here has not been resolved for a long time, how can you take on the heavy responsibility? ”

"Cardinal, the roads in this inner courtyard are complicated and extend in all directions, and after entering it, it is like entering a labyrinth, but those enemy soldiers are very familiar. Often, just after the clean-up has been completed, in the blink of an eye, another enemy soldier has emerged out of nowhere and attacked us from behind, and we can only clear it repeatedly, so the progress is slow! Zhao Mengjin explained.

"Well, what about your casualties?" Zhang Shijie looked at the battlefield and knew that what he said was good, and he also knew that street fighting was the most difficult and cruel, so he asked with a slightly slower face.

"Don't hide it from the cardinal, the enemy soldiers here are very tenacious in resisting, and they are really undying. Although we were outnumbered, it was difficult to carry out, so we had to fight to the death, and the casualties had reached more than 400. The Huangfu battalion, which served as the main attacker, commanded the seriously injured and still refused to retreat, and was temporarily replaced by the deputy general, two of the five heads had been killed, and two-thirds of the casualties of the team leader and the gang commander below had been killed. Zhao Mengjin said with a gloomy face.

"Then why don't you take it down and recuperate?" Zhang Shijie said in surprise. According to the experience of his commanding army, if a unit suffers 10% casualties, its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and it will not be able to serve as the main attacker; If you have 20% casualties, you must withdraw and recuperate, and you can't fight again; Thirty percent of the casualties were basically collapsed; And if the junior officers suffer too many casualties, the first army will quickly lose its combat effectiveness. And he knew that Zhao Mengjin was also born in the army and served as the commander of the army of a government, how could he not understand these things?

"The few commanders who went up were all red-eyed and couldn't retreat. They all said that Quanzhou was His Majesty's former fiefdom, and they were deeply favored by the emperor, and they would never withdraw troops if they did not take Pufu! Zhao Mengjin said helplessly.

"Your Majesty is really handsome, and he has the skill to command the army at a young age!" Zhang Shijie had to praise it.

"The Chinese army was built by His Majesty, and he regarded himself as a pro-army, and he obeyed His Majesty's orders, and it must be a model for all armies, and His Majesty must not lose face." Zhao Mengjin said solemnly.

"Well, it's not okay to fight like this now, the progress is too slow, not to mention, the casualties are too great, and the tactics must be changed!" Zhang Shijie nodded and said. I secretly worry that there are this guards and pro-army in my heart, and it will be difficult for anyone in the court to shake His Majesty's position.

"Please also ask the cardinal for advice!" Zhao Mengjin didn't care about Zhang Shijie's interference in command, Your Majesty has a good saying, no matter who says it right, we will listen to it, regardless of whether he is a peddler and a pawn or a beggar monk. What's more, he is the head of an army and has rich combat experience.

"We have the advantage of troops, and each army can take turns to attack to maintain combat effectiveness, and if we occupy one place, we will leave troops to consolidate one place to prevent the enemy from going and returning. In addition, the archers should occupy the commanding heights and control the various intersections, not only to intercept and kill the fleeing enemy troops, but also to prevent the enemy from secretly sneaking up from the flanks and behind. The armies marched in unison, gradually shrinking the encirclement, driving the enemy into one place, gathering and annihilating him! Zhang Shijie explained on the table.

"As soon as the cardinal commander spoke, the last general suddenly opened the mouth, and I immediately readjusted the deployment, attacked again, and set to capture and kill the thief before dark!" Zhao Mengjin said after hearing this. Then the commanders of the army were summoned to assign tasks and reorganize the offensive......

Pu Shougeng was also ruthless, gathered all the men in the house to distribute weapons and armor, and then carried out the gold and silver in the treasury for the soldiers to take for themselves, and they could take as much as they wanted, he wanted to inspire the soldiers to make the last stubborn resistance. At the beginning, it did achieve good results, and even fought several counterattacks to block the Song army on the periphery of the worship temple. However, under the strong attack of the Song army, it gradually lost its momentum and retreated into the temple step by step, and even the slaves in the house were less than 300 after the inspection.

"Throw down the silver and gold, and when the enemy soldiers gather them up and fight, you will shoot them with arrows. Now that the left prime minister has stormed the northern city, as long as we hold on until dark, we can break through under the response of the left prime minister! "Tian Zhenzi was killed by random arrows, Xia Jing died, Sun Desheng defected, and Pu Shougeng ordered Lin Chunzi to command all the troops to make the final resistance. Because of his meritorious service to Quanzhou City, he was awarded the post of Daru Huachi, supervising the military affairs of Quanzhou, and the level was equivalent to 1,000 households. At the moment, there was a burst of killing in the north of the city, and he used this to encourage the remnants to make the last resistance.

"Allah, redeem your people......" At this time, after bathing, Pu Shougeng changed into a white dress and entered the chapel alone, facing the icon and prayed sincerely, hoping that Allah would come down to save him, forgive his sins, lead him to heaven, and bless the Pu family to revive the family business. But his prayers didn't seem to work, and the Song army was still closing in, stray arrows shooting through the windows into the hall and landing beside him. And the shouts of 'capture Pu Shougeng alive and avenge the slaughter of the city' are endless, thinking about the sons of the sect who were killed by his own hands, he suddenly shivered, his sins were too deep, and he could only fall into hell forever......
