As soon as Fang La's Luan Jia appeared, the rebels under the city immediately boiled.

"Long live the Holy Father!"

"Long live the Holy Father!"

"Long live the Holy Father!"

The shouts of the 100,000 rebels, like the roar of the sea, reverberated in the sky above Jiangning City, as if they were about to collapse the clouds, and countless swords and guns were raised high, intertwining a forest of death.

This momentum made the defenders on the city change color one after another.

Only Zhao Hao stood at the head of the city, looking at Fang La with cold eyes, and scolded for a while: "Wearing a dragon robe is not like a prince, changing a vest is still just a reckless ......"

The defenders of the city were only six or seven thousand, less than one percent of the rebels. The so-called five to attack, ten to encircle, this is a battle with a huge disparity in strength, even if you take advantage of the huge advantage of defending the city, it is possible to hold on for eight days and ten days, and you can't afford to consume it for a long time.

Under the banner of the rebels, Fang La held Luan in his hand and drew his sword: "Attack!" ”

Woo woo woo~

In the desolate and distant sound of the horn, tens of thousands of rebels pushed countless siege ladders, spreading towards Jiangning City like a tide.

"Stepping on Jiangning!"

"Stepping on Jiangning!"

"Stepping on Jiangning!"

In just four or five months, the rebels swept through the fifty-two counties of six states, and the cries of attack were fierce and full of confidence, and the rebels rushed desperately under the city walls like bloodthirsty beasts.

It's just that Wang Hanzhi, an old fritter who has experienced a lot of wind and waves, will naturally not be deterred by Fang La, so he drew his sword and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

The old but still majestic voice overshadowed the flood of noise and clearly reached the ears of every Song archer.

"Arrow~~"

The tense humming sound of the bowstring sounded, and in an instant, more than a thousand sharp wolf tooth feather arrows had broken through the air, and after flying more than a hundred steps in the air. It spread into a vast expanse, falling from the sky like raindrops, carrying a sharp scream, which fell on the heads of the rebel soldiers in an instant.

"Poof~"

A wolf-toothed arrow coldly burrowed into the head of a rebel, piercing his jaw with sharp arrows. Red blood dripped from the cluster of arrows, and the arrows pierced through the entire cranial cavity. The rebels took two steps forward with inertia, and then fell straight to the ground.

"Uh~Help me~~"

One of the rebels rolled to the ground and howled hoarsely, his hands clutching his chest in pain, the tail of the arrow still whining and trembling, and the red blood was spilling down his fingers, but his cries for help were not heard at all, and countless rebels still rushed like a tide, trampling him under his feet unstoppably.

Rounds of arrows poured down from the sky mercilessly, and the unarmed rebels were completely unable to defend themselves against the rain of arrows. As if wheat had been cut to the ground, they fell one by one, and in a matter of moments, the field was full of rebel corpses, and many others were lying in pools of blood, wailing for help......

But the fierce rebels still swarmed forward, frantically rushing under the city walls, and one after another siege ladders were set up on the walls.

The fierce siege battle has finally officially begun!

Boom Boom!

Huge boulders and logs rolled down, smashing the rebels on the siege ladder to the point of bleeding, crying and crying, and constantly tumbling down from the top of the ladder.

However, all this did not stop the rebels from pouring into the city, and the elite of the rebels, who were only bewitched by religion and ghosts, continued to rush to the castle towers.

The battle lasted from the morning until the red sun fell, and the city was stained red with blood, and there were corpses everywhere.

On the first day of the siege, the rebels suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the Song army defending the city lost more than 400 people.

The advantage of the high walls of the city made the casualty ratio of the attacking and defending sides about five to one, but the strength of the rebels was more than ten times that of the Song army, which was an extremely difficult battle to defend the city.

Zhao Hao, who personally participated in the first real war, leaned on the beams and pillars of the city tower tiredly, looking at the tired corpses and bones above and below the city, and his heart was confused.

This battle was so tragic, but the dead and wounded were all the people of the Great Song Dynasty and Chinese compatriots......

**************

The battle of attack and defense was going on day and night, and the dark clouds of war shrouded the entire city of Jiangning.

Zhao Hao witnessed the dripping blood, paid more and more attention to this battle to defend the city, and personally contacted the Wang family and the Xie family, as well as the wealthy gentry in Jiangning City, as the young master of the Zhao Mansion, and organized a fundraising activity, raising a full 200,000 yuan to fund this life-and-death battle, of which the Zhao Mansion contributed 30,000 yuan.

With the support of 200,000 yuan of money and grain, Wang Hanzhi also became more confident, and began to recruit a large number of new soldiers in the city, and at the same time gave generous pensions to those soldiers who died in battle, which greatly stimulated the morale of the soldiers defending the city.

Zhao Hao, together with Xie Yu and Wang Jue, convened the scholars and literati in Jiangning City, organized a propaganda meeting for the defense of the city, and invited the great Confucian Lu Qing as the president to publicize the ferocity of the rebels in the city and the consequences for the people after the city was broken.

The people in Jiangning City are all rich and well-off families, without the bitterness and hatred of the people in the south of Liangzhejiang Road and Jiangnan Road, under the clever propaganda of a cadre of scholars and literati, the rebels outside the city are completely regarded as demons, for fear that once the city is broken, they will encounter the consequences of slaughtering the city, and they have also spontaneously taken action to assist the government to carry the materials for the defense of the city, send water and food, demolish some abandoned houses, and provide the defenders with wood and rolling stones.

In addition, after Zhao Hao obtained Wang Hanzhi's consent, he persuaded the palace and the Xie Mansion to send four or five hundred domestic slaves to assist the officials and soldiers in maintaining order in the city and avoiding chaos in the city.

A series of actions made Wang Hanzhi almost grateful, and exclaimed, "The son is worthy of the nobility of the heavens, and the blessing of the city of Zhenjiang Ningcheng."

In the next four or five days, the rebels outside the city launched an attack on Jiangning City like crazy, and the battle of attack and defense reached a fever pitch, but under the stubborn resistance of the defenders of Jiangning City, they were never able to capture the tower.

It's night.

Jiangning City Mansion.

After Wang Hanzhi sat on the case, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and the next battle to defend the city made him a little helpless.

It has been the seventh day of defending the city, and although the rebels are attacking like a tide, Jiangning City is still impregnable, but it is just ...... But there were not enough arrows to defend the city.

A slight sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, interrupting Wang Hanzhi's thoughts, and when he looked up, it was Li Yu who was sentenced by Jiangning Mansion.

Li Yu arched his hand at Wang Hanzhi, and said in a solemn tone: "Lord Fuzun, there were originally 50,000 arrows in the treasury, and now there are less than 8,000 left. ”

Wang Hanzhi's brows became more and more frowned, and without arrows, he could only rely on rolling stones, rolling wood, and boiling water to hold on. It's just rolling stones and wood, boiling water, there are many inconveniences to carry, and the speed and effect of the attack are extremely slow, and the real defense of the city has to rely on bows and arrows, so that the advantage of defending the city will be greatly reduced, and the next battle will be extremely tragic.

After a long time, Wang Hanzhicai sighed slightly and said: "Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, the city is in the people, the city is ruined, and the city should coexist with Jiangning City!" ”

Li Yu was solemn and respectful, and said respectfully: "Lord Fuzun don't worry, I heard that the official family has sent the imperial army south, and it will soon cross the river, and the enemy will retreat!" ”

Wang Hanzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "From Hedong to Jiangnan, it will take at least more than a month, I am afraid that Jiangning City will not be able to defend that day...... You stand down, let the official be quiet. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Hanzhi, who had only rested when he had been on patrol last night, was still asleep, when he suddenly heard a loud noise outside the door, and couldn't help but jump up in shock.

At this moment, a personal guard hurriedly entered, looking panicked.

Before the man could speak, Wang Hanzhi's face changed greatly, and he asked in a hissed voice: "What's the noise, could it be that the rebels have entered the city?" ”

The man ran out of breath and just said, "Arrow...... Arrow ......"

Wang Hanzhi was in a hurry, grabbed the man, and asked, "What arrow?" ”

The man's breath finally evened out, and he said urgently: "It is very strange that the palace is suddenly full of arrows overnight. ”

Wang Hanyi let go of the man, and before he could put on his shoes, he ran out of the back hall and ran towards the government compound.

The arrows in front of him were piled up, densely packed into the compound of the government office, and the fine iron arrows were shining in the morning light, shining with a cold and cold light.

Wang Hanzhi walked forward quickly, grabbed a feather arrow, and saw that the arrow shaft was straight, even, and smooth, the arrow was sharp and shiny, and the workmanship was extremely exquisite.

Wang Hanzhi opened his mouth and wanted to ask anyone who had been here, but he didn't ask anything...... There are so many arrows, I am afraid that there are at least more than 200,000 branches, and more than 20 carts have to be pulled by a car, which is definitely not something that one or two people can do.

"Heaven will not destroy my Jiangning, this must be the help of the gods!"

Wang Hanzhi burst into tears, and slowly knelt down towards the morning light in the east, looking extremely pious.

It's just that what he doesn't know is that 1 merit value can be exchanged for two feather arrows, and these 200,000 arrows are enough to consume Zhao Hao's 100,000 merit points.
