Like the remnants of the bloody sun, it shines on the bloody city.

A group of Song miscellaneous servants cleaned up the bodies of both the enemy and the enemy in the city and under the city, and washed the blood stains on the city wall with buckets of water, and then washed them again and again with pig bristles, but no matter how hard they tried, there were still faint blood marks on the city bricks, which could not be erased.

Stepping on the wet pale blood water, Wen Tianxiang, the right minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Chen Yizhong, the left minister, Zeng Yuanzi, the governor of the political affairs, and Yang Liangjie, the head of the household department, all wore red robes, jade belts around the waist, and wore cicada wings and gauze crowns, and climbed the steps to the city under the escort of more than ten personal guards.

When he arrived at the head of the city, Zhang Shijie, who was dressed in armor and tied with a scarlet collar, led Huang Tiancong and a group of guards to greet him.

They will meet each other and bow to each other.

Looking at Huang Tiancong's bandaged arms and the swords, guns and arrow marks on the armor of the guards, Wen Tianxiang sighed: "The Tartars are fierce and invade the city very urgently. Zhang Shuai, Huang Yuhou, and the generals have worked hard. Today, the thief will lead the troops, and he will come back soon, and I hope that you will take care of yourself. ”

Chen Yizhong took two steps forward, stroked Huang Tiancong's injured arm and asked, "Junhao (Huang Tiancong's character), how is the arm injury?" ”

Huang Tiancong's beard was cocked, and he raised his arms indifferently: "It's okay, I was stabbed, fortunately my arm armor blocked it, and the flesh was just injured." ”

Zeng Yuanzi praised: "My Great Song Dynasty has such loyal and brave soldiers, and he will be able to destroy the enemy under the city." ”

Zhang Shijie said in a deep voice: "Shijie takes the tower as the commander of the Chinese army, the enemy will never go downstairs if he does not retreat, and swear to live and die with Yacheng!" ”

Yang Liangjie was amazed: "With Zhang Shuai's words, the Queen Mother can sleep in peace." ”

Wen Tianxiang and the others looked at the bloodstains on the city wall and the siege equipment under the city, and sighed, but also couldn't help but rejoice, fortunately, this city is strong, the defense facilities are complete, if it is like the Wan'an army, or even the Changhua army, I am afraid that it will have been captured by the Yuan army.

Thinking of Wan'an Army, I can't help but think of Zhao Lie, if it weren't for his strong advocacy of moving south, Xing Chao would still be floating on the sea. It is reported that there are 8,000 Yuan troops besieging the Wan'an army, and the leader is still the son of Ali Hague, the fierce general of the Yuan army, who suddenly lost The Hague, and I don't know if the weak Dragon Bird Army can resist it.

……

On the fifth day of November, after only a day's rest, the Yuan army attacked again.

This time, the Yuan army had more troops than before, and in addition to the warm and inexpensive sitting, the banner of the Chinese army also appeared in the Suluding banner of Ali Hague.

Suluding means "spear" in Mongolian, and the shape is a spear, and the special feature is that the chisel part of the base of the spear body forms a disc, and there are dozens of perforations along the edge of the disk, and the horse's hair is tied as a hanging thread. If it is Su Luding, who is a prince-level figure of Mengyuan and Yuan, there are sixty-four to eighty-one holes. This thing with strong steppe characteristics is a symbol of Mongolia, a symbol of the god of war, and only princes, important ministers, and commanders of one side are qualified to hold it.

Ali Hague has repeatedly made military exploits, ranking in the province's important ministers, and there is a call to enter the dynasty as a minister, so Kublai Khan gave this flag, but the height of the flagpole is three feet shorter than that of the prince of Mengyuan, only one zhang and three feet.

Suluding has black and white, respectively called "Hara Surudin" and "Chagan Surudin", which means "black" and "white", black symbolizes war and strength, and white symbolizes peace and authority. And today, Ali Hague cites Chagan Surudine – peace and authority.

Ali Hague, the commander of the Yuan army, personally supervised the battle, and Wen Tianxiang also came to the South Gate Tower to defend against the strong enemy with Zhang Shijie. These two Great Song generals can be said to be the old opponents of the Yuan army, and the meaning of Mengyuan Suluding could not be clearer. At this time, what peace is there left? I'm afraid that he wants us to surrender.

Looking from the top of the city, the Yuan army's large array was much thicker than the day before. The banner is like a cloud, the spears are lined up, the cards are like a heavy wall, the soldiers and horses are layer after layer, dense turns, from the foot of the slope to the top of the slope, and then from the top of the slope to the back of the slope. Several nearby hillsides are occupied, and I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of people. Ali Hague and the dewarmed Chinese army sit on the top of the highest slope.

The terrain around Yacheng is undulating, there are many mountains and forests, it is difficult to deploy soldiers and horses, and 10,000 people is the limit. This is beneficial to the defenders, but as the saying goes, there are more than 10,000 people, and there is no boundary. Seeing the prosperity of the Yuan army under the city, the Song army defending the city inevitably changed color and was uneasy.

I saw three horsemen galloping down with flags on the top of the slope, passing through a column of troops, rolling up a cloud of smoke and dust.

The three horsemen stopped a hundred steps in front of the moat, and the knight holding the flag in the middle said loudly: "Marshal Yu shows Prime Minister Wen and Zhang Shumi." Song has no king, and his qi is exhausted. All the kings are outstanding people in the world, why bother to fight for a woman? It is necessary to know that the sea and the sky are vast, the lonely city is difficult to hold, and the dead end is a dead end, and the world is peaceful. Now I have come with Chagan Suluding, and you should know my intentions, and do not let the banner of peace fall from my hands. ”

Wen Tianxiang angrily hit the bar: "Peace? In the second year of Deyou, a certain envoy was sent to Yuanying on the order of the emperor, who rejected the peace sincerity of my Great Song Dynasty? Detain me in the Tartar camp and trap me in the capital? Capture my king? Misery of my Chinese life? Wait for Hu'er, lead the beast to eat people, poison the world, what kind of extravagant talk about peace! ”

The flag-bearer said: "In this way, the prime minister rejected the marshal's peace sincerity and chose war?" ”

Seeing the chatter of the knights under the city, Zhang Shijie stretched out his hand to the guards: "Take my bow." ”

The guards quickly presented Zhang Shijie's special two-stone five-bucket bow and carved quiver.

Zhang Shijie took the bow and arrow in his hand, his arms were drawn, and in the creaking sound of the bowstring, the bow opened like a full moon, and the ground was loosened, and the arrow went like a meteor.

The knight with the flag has experienced a hundred battles, has excellent experience and reflexes, and when he hears the sound of the strings, he immediately saddles, but he can take care of people but not the flag - the arrow to the flag falls.

The Song army defending the city burst into sky-high applause, and morale was high.

Ali Hague saw it from a distance and snorted coldly: "Stupid." ”

Zhang Shijie's arrow is brilliant, but a hundred steps of archery, although it has the strength of the head, it is insufficient, even if this arrow is shot, it is not capable of piercing armor, and it will not be injured at all, and it is a shame.

Above the tower, Wen Tianxiang's clear and affinity voice came clearly: "Gentlemen, although there are many Yuanyu, they are strong on the outside, and they are strong in the middle, as evidenced by the repeated sieges of the city in the previous time. What's more, I have two cities to rely on, and if the enemy attacks them, I will be defeated! ”

Two cities? Isn't there only one cliff city?

The soldiers of the Song army defending the city looked at each other, and finally a bold person asked loudly: "Prime Minister, why did you come to the second city?" ”

Wen Tianxiang paused word by word: "There is a strong city under the feet of the monarchs, this is one; I, the Song Dynasty, are united as one, this is two. With these two cities, Ren is the world's strong edge is also folded here, and the situation is bearded! ”

So it's like two cities!

Huang Tiancong took the opportunity to draw his sword and shouted: "Unite as one to defend the city, and the color and eyes of Hu'er fold the front of the army!" ”

The Song army defending the city responded in unison, and thousands of people roared angrily, and the sound stopped the clouds.

Under the cover of Qingluo on the top of the slope, Ali Hague naturally heard it clearly, and the dewarming and Guan brothers around him all had angry faces.

Brother Guan said angrily: "Ata, these Song people don't know what to do, as their proverb says, they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin." Today, we're going to show them the coffin! ”

Dewarm Buhua leaned over and asked for an order: "Brother Guan is right, please give the marshal an order, let the last general beat these Song dogs and cry!" ”

Ali Hague stroked his long hair and said lightly: "Since they shot down the flag of peace, then give them war." ”

Dewarming does not take a fist and yells: "Obey!" ”

Half an hour later, Chagan Suluddin was put down, and Harasuruddin was raised.

War, begun.
