In the next three days, Zhang Shijie and Su Liuyi organized three more attacks in succession, and Zhang Shijie's general, Zhang Ba, and Su Liuyi's eldest son, Su Jingzhan served as the vanguard.

At the height of the battle, Zhang Ba fought hard to climb first, was surrounded by heavy siege, fought bloodily, and was dressed in eight wounds, and was finally pushed down the city by the guards to survive. And Su Jingzhan, who has always shown himself as a Confucian general, also showed the other side of bravery, personally forging ahead, commanding the crossbowmen to fight against the Yuan soldiers on the cloud ladder, and even shooting with a bow, killing several enemies in a row, and finally he was hit by an arrow, bleeding like a note, and was carried off the battlefield.

The battle was so fierce that even the vanguard officers were injured one after another, not to mention the ordinary soldiers. In just three days, more than 300 people were killed and wounded, and such heavy casualties have almost reached the limit that a single army can bear.

Zhang Shijie was able to mobilize 1,000 troops to siege the city, except for Zhao Lie's 200 dragon sparrow army, the rest of the 800 soldiers were all put into battle, and some even fought repeatedly. When the battle was in full swing, even Zhang Shijie's escort team was sent to the battlefield, leaving less than ten guards by his side.

Even with such devotion and sacrifice, he was never able to conquer Simon. The only gain was to kill and injure hundreds of yuan soldiers, and the arrow wounded Ma Chengwang, the lord of the Jiyang Army. However, at this time, half of the deadline set by Zhang Shijie has passed.

The latest news came from Tanma in the direction of the Wan'an Army, and the reinforcements of the Yuan Army had arrived in the Wan'an Army, and it was confirmed that the leading commander was the next 10,000 horses, and the strength was about 2,000 or more. It was confirmed again that the information provided by Hong Siniang was true.

Time is getting more and more pressing, Zhang Shijie decisively decided to concentrate all his forces and attack with all his might.

Zhao Lie finally received an order for the entire Dragon Bird Army to attack. The 200 soldiers who were originally placed on the flank to defend Wan'an only left one team, and the rest were all recalled to participate in the siege battle.

All the ministers and workers below the Empress Dowager Yang were moved to the sea warships, and only one hundred guards were retained, and the rest of the guards were all drawn to participate.

In this way, Zhang Shijie has 600 fresh troops in his hands, plus 400 soldiers who can fight before, and he has another 1,000 troops at hand, so he can launch a powerful attack on Jiyang Military City.

After Zhao Lie received the order, he and Jiang Fenglie summed it up, decided to talk to the two commanders, and invited the two to watch the musketeer drill. Let the two commanders know their new type of army in mind, so that in the event of tomorrow's war, the arrangement will be conducive to their strengths.

As soon as Zhao Lie, Jiang Fenglie and others walked out of the camp tent and were about to walk towards the tent, they saw a flag officer guarding the gate coming over, gave a military salute, and reported: "Zhao Dutong, there are a few familiar Li outside the camp gate, claiming to be the old man of Dutong, and there is something important to find Dutong." ”

At that time, the Li people were divided into ripe Li and raw Li, and the ripe Li mostly lived in the villages a few miles outside the city, and some lived together with the Song people, and they were at peace with each other. Sheng Li lived in the deep mountains of Litong, barbaric and fierce, and had conflicts with the Song people from time to time. Those who can live in harmony with the Song people and deal with them are mostly familiar Li.

As soon as Zhao Lie heard it, he knew who it was, and after calculating the time, they should also come. At that moment, let the flag officer report to the boss and lead everyone to greet him.

Sure enough, as soon as I got out of the gate, I saw Hong Siniang, who was dressed in blue cloth, leading four or five elite subordinates, squatting under a coconut tree to enjoy the coolness, chewing unknown wild fruits in his mouth, and the first thing he said after seeing Zhao Hunt was: "Engong, Siniang has given you a gift again." ”

Zhao Lie smiled: "Siniang's gifts are always so surprising, I don't know what happened this time?" ”

Hong Siniang grinned, revealing two rows of teeth dyed blue, black, blue and black: "Does Engong want to enter Jiyang City to play?" ”

……

"This Hong Siniang is the leader of the Li people, in his early years, he was an enemy of the official army, and was killed by Ma Chengwang's troops. This time, I heard that the king was besieging the city, and I came to help. Oh, by the way, the information about the reinforcements of the Yuan army came last time, and it was also from Siniang. ”

When Zhao Lie introduced Hong Siniang, he was already in the handsome tent. Zhang Shijie, Su Liuyi, Zhang Ba, Su Jingzhan, Huang Tiancong, Chen Zhi and other generals gathered. All the generals here are old Jiang, and as soon as they heard Zhao Lie's introduction, they knew that this Li woman with a tattooed face was either a thief or a bandit. However, Qiongzhou Li Fang has always refused to accept the king, and has repeatedly caused chaos, and it is not surprising that few Li leaders have not been involved.

Hong Siniang visited the generals one by one, and when she heard Zhao Lie mention the family feud, her eyes were red at first, and her eyes revealed bitter hatred. This hatred can never be pretended, and the generals nodded secretly, which can be regarded as accepting this Li woman who has the same enemy Kai.

After eliminating the guardiness of the generals and establishing initial trust, Zhao Liecai made Hong Siniang's proposal: "In addition to the original Qiongzhou New Annexed Army and the Han Army, the Jiyang garrison also has a Turkish army. Before Qiongzhou fell into the hands of Meng Yuan, Jiyang City was actually defended by this mixed Song and Li Turkish army. ”

Su Liuyi and Zhang Shijie exchanged glances and said, "We know this, so what?" ”

"Some of the Li soldiers in this Turkish army were born in Hongbo, and this Hong Siniang is the leader of Hongbo."

Su Jingzhan stroked his palms and said: "Hong Siniang can say that he will descend and let them open the city gate at night......"

Without waiting for Su Jingzhan to finish his thoughts, Hong Siniang honestly interrupted: "The three city gates are all sealed, and you have to open the sandbags and stones piled up into the mountains, the movement is bigger than the siege, but I am afraid that before you enter the city, the sons and daughters in my village have been cut down......"

Su Jingzhan only knew that the west gate was blocked and sealed, but he didn't expect the three city gates to be like this, and said: "It seems that this Ma Chengwang is really hard-hearted......

Chen Zhi said: "Then what is Siniang's strategy? Let me take a closer look. ”

Hong Siniang said: "I'm afraid it won't be possible to let your army enter the city, but it's still okay to send a surprise army into the city to attack and disturb." ”

"How?"

"Tonight happens to be my Zhai'er Xun on duty in the east B section of Nancheng. I've already agreed with Eryang to go into the city tonight, are you interested in going along? ”

The generals looked at each other, although they all heard that this Hong Siniang was actually going to explore the enemy city at night, but it seemed a bit child's fun to say it in such a tone......

Zhang Shijie was strict in governing the army, and he couldn't hear the gossip in the barracks, and his face sank, and he was about to have a seizure.

Zhao Lie really likes this casual way of speaking, the battle will not be finished for a while and a half, and he can't keep a straight face all day long, so he hurriedly took over the conversation when he saw this: "The envoy is the minister, the palace marshal, and the last general is willing to go." ”

Zhang Shijie frowned: "If you enter the city over the wall, it will be difficult for many people, at most there will be a fire (ten people)." With such a small number of people, the enemy is limited, and it is difficult to fold yourself in. He is the pro-country of the country, and he is the heir of the king, so he must not be in danger. No, you can't. ”

Su Liuyi also said: "This kind of disturbance to the enemy can be carried out by the subordinates, and as the commander of an army, there is no need to follow the behavior of a warrior." ”

Zhao Hunting Sword raised his eyebrows: "The last general does not intend to disturb the enemy. ”

Su Liu Yi was surprised: "What do you want to do when you venture into the city?" ”

Zhao Lie smiled and said word by word: "Capture Ma Chengwang alive!" ”
