In the tent, four or five thick butter candles were stuck in the shiny copper frame, and the bright candle flame reflected the two bloody buttocks.

The Hague, who had been lying on the hard bed after being beaten with a baton, had been unable to move, and when the military medic applied a piece of black ointment, The Hague, who had gritted his teeth and was silent when he was heavily reprimanded with a baton, finally let out a pig howl: "Bastard! Tap ...... It hurts me to death......"

The medic was sweating profusely, and he confessed again and again, becoming more and more cautious. But after all, it's medicine, how can there be one who doesn't touch the wound? As a result, he accidentally touched a piece of rotten meat, and suddenly lost The Hague and grabbed the sky and the ground. In anger, he grabbed the scimitar next to the bed and was about to slash and kill to vent his anger.

The knife was unsheathed a few inches, and the curtain suddenly opened, and the two of them strode in.

Suddenly caught a glimpse of the corner of The Hague's eye, and hurriedly put the knife into the sheath, struggling to get up.

One of the comers hurriedly stepped forward, pressed the shoulder of the Hague, his eyes swept over his bloody buttocks, and he whispered, "Aka, are you alright?" ”

Suddenly, Hague forced a smile and said, "It's nothing...... Atta...... "still trying to stand up."

The two people who entered the account were his father Ali Hague and his brother Guan Zhige.

Ali Hague waved his hand and quietly watched the military medic continue to apply the medicine, which would suddenly lose Hague, no matter how painful it was, he would not dare to say a word. After the military medic finished applying the medicine, Ali Hague waved his hand, and the military medic hurriedly packed up the medicine box and bowed to retire.

Brother Guan moved to Jindun, Ali Hague sat down, staring at the eldest son, who hung his head in shame, and the tent was silent for a while.

After a long time, Ali Hague slowly spoke: "Do you know what mistakes you have made?" ”

Suddenly, The Hague said ashamedly: "My son is defeated......"

Ali Hague shook his head: "No. The Song people have a saying that 'victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers', and I don't blame you for the defeat, but you did one thing wrong when you attacked Wan'an Military City this time and retreated. ”

Suddenly, The Hague struggled to sit up: "Please Atta teach me." ”

Ali Hague said coldly: "When you attacked the city to no avail, and when you retreated and were pursued by the rank and tail of the Dragon Sparrow, you didn't use the Beiting Jing Cavalry to break the rear, but to break the rear. ”

Suddenly The Hague was surprised: "Atta ......"

"I know what you're trying to say." Ali Hague interrupted, "In the past, it was right that you used the new annex to break off, and these people could make up for their deaths, but this time is different. If you break off with fine cavalry, most of Zhao Lie's subordinates are foot soldiers, and there are very few cavalry, even if you have a good weapon, you will never dare to approach too much, so as not to scatter the formation and take advantage of my strong cavalry. In this way, although there are small setbacks, they will not fail miserably. ”

Suddenly The Hague was stunned for a while, and had to admit that what Atta said was reasonable. What he did that day was purely out of peacetime combat habits or instincts, and his own elite ran ahead, and the inferior soldiers of the new annexed army were thrown behind to block the pursuers. It's just that he forgot that if he wants to complete the task of encircling the Dragon Bird Army, he can't do it with just a small number of elites, he needs a large number of "inferior soldiers". As a result, the elite was retained, but the inferior pawns lost most of them, so that not only was the offense weak, but even the defense became a problem.

Brother Guan said: "Aka is also worried that my Beiting Army will be damaged and hurt me at all. No matter how many soldiers die in those new annexes, they can be replenished, but the warriors of Beiting are one less than one......"

Ali Hague said aggressively: "Brother Guan, you are also short-sighted!" Your task in this battle is to trap and block the Dragon Bird Army, so that our southern expeditionary army can calmly destroy the remnants of the Song Dynasty, this is the battle strategy, and everything should be based on this. At present, although you Acre have saved hundreds of Beiting warriors, but you have caused the Dragon Bird Army to break through the siege, causing the entire battle to be passive, and our division may be exposed to the enemy on its back, making a battle of sure victory more uncertain......"

Ali Hague shook his head and sighed, these two sons are still too small, at most they can only be generals, and they lack handsome talents.

Suddenly, The Hague and Brother Guan only said yes, and then couldn't help asking: "The Dragon Sparrow Musket is so sharp, Atta has a strategy to break the musket?" ”

Ali Hague's eyes flashed with yellow light, and he described the Yin Owl: "Judging from the battle between you and the Dragon Bird Army Wan'an Military City, the musket is the most advantageous for defense, and if it cooperates with the strong city, it will be even more difficult to approach." Although there is a strong crossbow and a hard bow, it is difficult to compete with the musket, and it is inherently defeated. However, when your grain ship was destroyed and you had to retreat, you ordered a garrison to defend the village, although the dragon bird army approached the outside of the village, and the guns and bullets were fired, but they failed to attack the village. If it weren't for the surprise attack of the Song people on the dock, which caused the guards to flee in fear that the back road would be cut off, it would not be easy for the Dragon Bird Army to successfully attack the camp. ”

Suddenly, the eyes of the Hague brothers lit up, and they said in unison: "Atta is ...... say"

Ali Hague said categorically: "The musket is not good for attack, and we must not give Zhao Lie and Zhang Shijie the opportunity to join forces to defend Yacheng." Break the cliff city first, and wait for Zhao Hunt's Dragon Sparrow Army. At that time, we will take advantage of our large number of warships to encircle and annihilate at sea, or defend the city to resist. Even if he has a weapon in his hand, how can he help me to strengthen the city? The city could not be captured for a long time, and the dynasty for which it was loyal was destroyed...... Even if he Zhao Hunt has a strong firearm in hand, what can he do? ”

The two brothers were both convinced and praised, and Brother Guan said: "After our army broke through the cliff city, we captured the Song muskets, summoned skilled craftsmen to build them in the same way, and distributed them to the defenders. When Zhao Hunt led the army to come, let him taste his best musket to defend the city, and treat him in his own way, and avenge Aka with an arrow. ”

Suddenly, The Hague was blazing with fierce flames, and slapped his thigh: "That's it...... Yes! ”

……

From the day the storm stopped, the Yacheng Imperial Palace fell into a depressing atmosphere.

When the storm passed, the sun shone on Qiongnan, and the Empress Dowager Yang asked the government again, when she asked: "If the Yuan Yu attacks the city again, can the secretaries have a strategy?" ”

The ministers are speechless, and the disparity in strength is obvious, and these days, they are just struggling to support.

Wen Tianxiang, as the head of the ministers, naturally couldn't be silent, and immediately went out of work, raised a deep bow, and looked high-spirited: "Please let the queen mother be relieved, the minister has the heart of death and the city, every battle must be on the edge of the blade, if you want to break the city, you must step over the body of the minister." ”

Zhang Shijie also said sonorously: "The minister only has one word - from the minister down, he will fight to the last soldier!" ”

Chen Yizhong sighed, there are still too few people, the soldiers only see the consumption but can't replenish it, calmly go out of the shift, look deeply at Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie, the two political enemies who have repeatedly fought because of different political views, and said calmly: "The ministers are willing to live and die with the monarchs." ”

The ministers were expressing their intentions to destroy the city, but they saw a guard hurriedly report it.

"What?" Zhang Shijie stood up suddenly, "Found that the 10,000 households in Qiongzhou have lost the banner of the Hague Department?" ”

All the ministers were stunned, didn't The Hague besiege the Dragon Bird Army in Wan'an Military City, how did they come here? What's going on? Did Zhao Lie and his dragon sparrow army win or lose? After a mere flash of thought, many ministers categorically rejected the former. Fighting against 8,000 enemy troops with a weak army in a lonely city, it is good to be able to support it, and still hope to win? Think too much. If you don't win, you're defeated, and all the pressure is on Yacheng here......

Wen Tianxiang sighed bitterly, and sat down suddenly, the original strength disparity was huge, and the pressure was heavy, and now the Yuan army added thousands of soldiers, and it was conceivable that the next defense battle would be difficult.

The Empress Dowager Yang behind the curtain couldn't bear the pressure anymore and sobbed.

All the lonely ministers bowed to the ground, crying bitterly.

The sun is shining outside the palace, and the clouds in the palace are gloomy.
