"No...... Master Chen, no, no! Don't be so stubborn, you're not afraid of death, this city is full of people who don't want to die with you, think about them...... Don't be impulsive, if you kill me, Marshal Tahai will definitely slaughter the city! ”

was firmly held down by the shoulders of the two soldiers, and Shen Gao, the former prefect of the Great Song Dynasty, who was still struggling desperately, roared loudly, like a grasshopper on the verge of death.

"I'm here to make an envoy, and the two countries will not fight each other!" He was pulled up, pushed and rubbed and walked out, while screaming with his neck: "Chen Longzhi, you don't follow the rules!" ”

On the upper floor of the North Gate of Chengdu, Chen Longzhi, who was dressed in chain mail, turned around when he heard the voice, and scolded in front of many military generals on both sides who were full of murderous spirits: "Huh! Do you have the face to say the rules? You were originally a Song minister, the prefect of the official residence, and you have the responsibility to defend the land, but the enemy not only did not defend the city, but surrendered and begged, and took refuge in the Mongols, did you abide by the rules? The Great Song Dynasty has national laws, and those who commit themselves to the enemy will not be killed! ”

"Why do I have no face?!" Shen Yue was dragged like a dead dog on the ground and twisted desperately, he knew that he couldn't live, so he roared like he was out: "Mongolia's 800,000 army is outside, you are stubborn, and you want to give the lives of a city in vain!" Marshal Du has an order, but those who stubbornly resist to the end will definitely slaughter the city, and those who open the city and surrender to the city have no worries, how can you alone dominate the fate of the people of Mancheng?! Everyone, everyone! Are you willing to die with him? As long as Chen Longzhi is captured, Marshal Du can not only protect him...... Woohoo......"

The soldier who dragged him turned back and twisted his chin with both hands, dislocating Shen Yue's jaw so that he could no longer speak.

"It's right outside, cut it!" Chen Longzhi waved his sleeves in disgust and shouted: "Throw the head down from the north gate and let the Mongols see, my Great Song Dynasty is not all greedy for life and afraid of death!" ”

The soldiers agreed, pulled Shen Yue, who was paralyzed into a puddle of mud, and walked a few steps closely, walked out of the city tower, and went to the city wall outside, and cut off his head neatly.

A bloody head, beaded with blood, fell from the wall more than three feet high, fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and rolled to the feet of a dozen Mongolian cavalrymen who were waiting on horses.

There were people on the city wall shouting in unison: "My lord said, if you want to fight, you don't need to say much, I advise you to get off your horse and be bound quickly, otherwise the army will sweep away, and the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”

Then there was laughter, and in the laughter, Shen Yue's body was dismembered and thrown down one by one.

Wang Shixian, the vanguard officer standing in front of the head of the cavalry, frowned, picked up his spear, drilled the head with the tip of the spear, raised it and looked at it, sneered at the city with a hazy face, pulled out his horse and turned back.

The Song army in the city cheered again, mixed with loud mockery, as if they were sending Wang Shixian away.

Chen Longzhi led his generals to stand in the city tower, coldly looking at the Mongolian camp with flags waving in the distance, looking out from here, outside the city is an open field, trees and houses have been cleaned up in front of the Song military, and you can see far away at a glance.

I saw that there was no end in sight to the continuous camp tents, which seemed to be connected to the horizon, and groups of Mongolian cavalry came in and out, driving the people from nowhere from time to time, shouting and scolding into the camp. Mongolian scolding and Chinese pleading are mixed together, and they can be heard standing at the head of Chengdu.

"Gentlemen, there is no way back." Chen Longzhi narrowed his eyes and said resolutely: "Kill the people who persuade us to surrender, the Mongols will not let us go, only by defending this city can we survive, once the city is broken, no one can survive, I hope that the kings can fight bravely to kill the enemy, the city is in the people, the city is broken!" ”

Behind him, a group of generals responded in unison, and the sound shook the world, and some soldiers standing nearby were also infected, brandishing weapons and shouting loudly.

In the monstrous exhilaration, even if someone showed a look of fear and hesitation, no one noticed.

Commander Tian Shixian is such a person, he stood in the position of the generals, and shouted a few times, although the voice was very loud, but it could not hide the panicked expression on his face, his eyes kept staring at the back of the Mongolian cavalry that had gone away, thoughtfully.

On the fifth day of October in the first year of Chunyou, the second battle to defend Chengdu kicked off.

Marshal Tahai personally supervised the formation, and the forward officer Wang Shixian led the troops to attack the city.

The Mongol army, known as 800,000, besieged the city on all sides and attacked on three sides, each side was the main attack, and each side was a battlefield.

More than 30 earthen bridges were filled out of Chengdu's moat in two hours, and the ant-like Mongol soldiers rushed along the smooth earthen bridges to the base of the city wall, erected ladders, and climbed the wall to attack the city.

The Song soldiers in the city used bed crossbows and bows and arrows to shoot, and the bed crossbows, which were as thick as spears, were infinitely powerful, and one arrow could penetrate several people without reducing castration, even the wooden chariots covered with several layers of cowhide could not stop them.

And the stone cannon of the Mongols is also very powerful, the heaviest stone projectile shot by the trebuchet launched by this kind of manpower pulling and firing is more than 100 catties, and it takes four or five hundred people to drag and put it on the string at a time, leap over a hundred feet, and smash it on the city wall is a pit, the ground shakes the mountain, and the people on the wall can not stand steadily, and it is as powerful as an earthquake.

The sky was full of arrows flying, there were figures running all over the ground, the Song army on the wall poured boiling gold juice down, and threw the thunderbolt fireballs that were lit, the stench of gold juice and the burnt smell of fireballs permeated the bloody battlefield, making the city and the city full of gunsmoke, and it was almost impossible to see the figures on the opposite side.

From time to time, someone was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground, screaming endlessly, the bow and arrow pierced into the human body and the shield made a "poof" sound, everyone turned a blind eye and heard it, and at such a moment, there was no time to care about anything other than to fight for survival.

The Song soldiers used a long ejector pole to push the ladder out, and the Mongolian soldiers lying on it screamed and fell into meatloaf. Some ladders have iron hooks, hanging on the wall bricks as if they have roots and cannot be removed, the Song soldiers can only poke their heads out, use axes to cut the wooden ladders, cut off the iron hooks to knock down the ladders, which gives the Mongolian soldiers with excellent archery skills the opportunity to shoot, many people rushed to the city wall, waited for arrows, and the Song soldiers died when they showed their heads.

The Mongols who climbed the wall often stabbed several spears and knives before they could stand firm, and the red-eyed man was infinitely strong, and he could stab the blade from the chest to the back of the heart of the man wearing iron armor. Some brave people held on to the barrel of the gun and did not let go, providing the latecomers with a chance to land safely, but they themselves died tragically.

The defenders on the wall were also incredibly strong, they held the thunderbolt ball that burned into a fireball and pounced on the Mongol soldiers who attacked the city, and fell down the city wall in the same way, the thunderball is similar to a grenade, after the explosion has a certain scattering effect, built-in poison, once it explodes, people within a radius of almost a kilometer or two will not die and peel off the skin.

Black smoke filled the sky, obscuring the sun, and the huge Chengdu Jinguan City turned into a Shura hell.

It was a day of hard fighting, but the city was not broken.

At sunset, the Mongols retreated, leaving behind a potholed city wall and a litter of corpses.

The tired defenders did not have time to breathe, they had to hurry up to repair the ruined walls and, if conditions permitted, organize death squads at night to go out of the city to destroy the earthen bridges over the moat.

Chen Longzhi had been sticking to the tower of the north gate of the city, where the battle was fierce, and a stone bullet hit the tower, collapsing half of the building, and almost drowning him in the rubble.

He pushed away the soldiers who tried to help him down, and he has been supervising the battle on the city wall, personally protecting the handsome banner of the envoy, and he knows that if the banner does not fall, the hearts of the people in the city will not be scattered.

You must hold on, as long as you hold on, the Mongols will retreat sooner or later.

He is a firm believer in this.
