Zheng Yunming frowned and shouted in a low voice, "Why are you here?" The Mongol Tartars are about to attack, and what kind of trouble are women coming to make at this time? ”

Lai Ruyue didn't answer, but just glanced at a middle-aged woman beside her. The middle-aged woman strode up to Ge Huai, stuffed a heavy iron knife into his hand, and shouted: "Old guy, this is the blade left by my father, you broke it for a while yesterday, but you lost a lot of people to our family, this time it was deflated in the hands of the Tartars, and even Bin'er didn't have the face to stay under Meng Dutong, and the family packed up their burdens and went home to farm!" ”

Ge Huai's beard shook, his eyes glared at the boss, and he shouted: "Major events in the army, how can it be your mother-in-law's turn to be so verbose, go home to the hole in the ground earlier to take care of a pair of grandchildren and granddaughters, how are these Tartars Lao Ge's opponents?" ”

Zheng Yunming watched their old couple quarrel very interestingly, only to see Lai Ruyue look at Qin Banxia again, Banxia covered his face with his hands, ran to Wang Deng with small steps, handed a small paper bag in his hand to Wang Deng, and said in a weak voice like a mosquito: "This is the arrow amulet I asked for in the Guandi Temple, I heard others say that with this charm, the bow and arrow opposite the body will not be shot."

Wang Deng's eyes softened when he looked at her, and he said in a low voice: "You have to hide in the cave and don't come out, the Mongolian artillery is powerful, you don't have to worry about things outside, with me, Zheng Dutong is here, and everyone is here, even if there are a million people, the Tartars can't attack even if there are a million people." ”

Lai Ruyue looked at the two of them, with a smile on her face, and immediately made a face and made a gesture towards Wei Ruolan, who handed her the huge wooden shield in her hand.

This shield is very huge, it can almost cover Lai Ruyue's small stature, she pulled up this shield vigorously and walked in front of Zheng Yunming.

"The armies have listened!" She shouted to the soldiers in the city, "Those standing here are your family members!" As you fight at the top of the city, we stand behind you, ready to support you! The man is exhausted, let's fill it in, as long as there is still a living person in Xiangyang City, we will not let the Tartars touch Xiangyang! Ladies of all families, what do you say! ”

The wives shouted in unison: "Either you come back from victory, or you never come back!" ”

Lai Ruyue smiled and waved her hand at them, and the military wives rushed forward and stuffed the peace charms in their hands into the arms of their husbands.

The scene of parting from life and death at this moment made Zheng Yunming feel extremely emotional. I saw Lai Ruyue put the big shield in his hand towards him, and the weight of the big shield almost pulled him to a stumble.

I saw her looking at herself with a pair of wonderful eyes, as if she couldn't talk in a thousand words.

And then there was only one short and powerful sentence: "Either you win and come back, or you put the body on this shield and carry it back!" ”

"This, I really can't speak." Zheng Yunming threw the shield into Han Feng's hand, shook his hands towards the army, and shouted with an extremely exaggerated expression: "You senior, go forward, save my level!" ”

The original words were said by Liu Guangshi before the battle of Tuogao, when it was, the Jin people invaded Lianghuai with an army of 200,000, Yue Fei could not rescue, and Liu Guangshi shrank in the rear, and the front was only handed over to the generals to deal with, Gaozong was furious, personally gave him a sword, and said to him, either use this sword to cut off the head of the enemy general, or defeat the head of his own head with this sword. Liu Guangshi hurriedly shouted to the generals in front of him: "You senior, go forward, save my level!" So the generals didn't dare not fight to the death, and finally defeated the Jin people in Tuogao.

At this moment, when all the troops saw the funny appearance of the main general of their army, they couldn't help laughing.

Zheng Yunming's face suddenly changed, he held the sword in his waist with a stern expression, swung his right hand towards the city wall, and shouted: "Out of the teacher!" ”

The city wall was already full of nervous soldiers, and there were archers on standby in each string of towers, Zheng Yunming set up a table inside the West Gate City Tower, and raised his eyes to look at the city.

The army lined up in a neat phalanx, holding high all kinds of banners, slowly pressing towards Xiangyang City like a mountain, just like the scene he woke up in a dream countless times, now that he really saw it, he didn't feel how nervous.

It's like the moment I picked up the pen in the imperial examination field, but my mind was very clear. He is this strange character who can deal with it calmly the more pressure he has. He firmly believes in these subordinates who live and die with him, firmly believes in the determination of the military and civilians in Xiangyang City to resist the war, and firmly believes that his fate will not end like this.

The first wave of the Mongol attack was dominated by the usual rush carts and ladders, six elaborate rushing carts, the roofs covered with cowhides, slowly moving forward under the push and pull of the sergeants. However, they were certainly not the protagonists of this wave of offensives, as a twenty-six-zhang wide moat beneath the city kept a heavy siege weapon out of the city walls. Zheng Yunming was extremely glad at this moment, and the huge project that widened the moat three times at the cost of manpower and labor. This project can almost be called the core part of the entire city reconstruction, and in order to be able to complete this huge project on time, even the scale of such an important project as the brick of the city wall was reduced. Countless servants captured in the Jinghu Pinghu Warfare were mobilized, countless other men were hired with money, and even the Xiangyang troops in training personally participated in the earthwork, just for the timely completion of this moat, which can be called the most magnificent in the world.

The shortage of manpower and material resources sometimes caused headaches for the officials who were responsible for the renovation of the city walls, and more than one official complained to Zhao Kui about the shortage of labor, the lack of materials, and the tight construction period, and Zheng Yunming's ears were full of complaints. It was inevitable that on the one hand, it would be necessary to reserve sufficient resources for the war that would begin in the fall, but at the same time to carry out such a staggering amount of city defense works. In an emergency, Zheng Yunming also disregarded his identity and personally visited the powerful manors in various places, squeezing out part of their remaining surplus wealth to subsidize the lack of funds. Finally, it was time to complete the entire city defense construction before the start of the war.

And only at this moment when the war came, Zheng Yunming could realize how correct Zhao Kui's original insistence on the idea that the moat must be completed on time. The original moat was only six feet and four feet wide, which was already considered a finger in the west. However, judging from the actual battle examples of the Mongols in the northern war, they also have examples of overcoming such moats that are six or seven feet wide. And this kind of moat that is 26 zhang wide like a real big river has never appeared since Nandu. Under the barrier of this man-made moat, the rushing car, the goose car and the building oar have no effect. The Mongol chariots could only be used if the infantry had crossed the moat and thought of lowering the drawbridge.

Let them come, Zheng Yunming thought, the six iron cables hanging the suspension bridge were built by Zheng Yunming and Yang Yu themselves, if they thought they could destroy it lightly, although let the Mongols try.

A personal soldier of the government office climbed the city tower to see it, and bowed down to report: "The system envoy has been in the government office, ordering the guards of all gates to report the battle situation at any time. ”

Zheng Yunming smiled secretly in his heart. The main generals guarding the walls on all sides are not cowardly people, and it is precisely because Zhao Kui transferred the generals who are not afraid of death in Jinghu to Xiangyang City, and finally sends people to inform everyone one by one that they are not allowed to refuse to ask for help with their blood.

Zheng Yunming, the deputy capital of Jing'e and Hubei sitting on the upper floor of the West Gate City, faced the attack of the Mongols with three Han troops and ten thousand households, and had the heaviest defensive task to ensure the safety of the northwest and southwest corners. The North Gate Tower sits in the Zhongshun Army to control Meng Jing, and in the face of the Yan Shi Army and the Hudu Tiger Army deployed by Xingzhongshu Province and Chongshan, the East Gate sits in the control of Hu Xian, commanding all the loyal and righteous army troops in Xiangyang City, including three loyal and righteous army horses retreating from the north, and a Baojie militia led by Wei Zugui. The Sanzhong troops are naturally the most unreliable, but Hu Xianwei is famous, and his qualifications are enough to suppress these undisciplined loyal and righteous troops, not to mention that the Mongolian Wanhu at the east gate is carrying the elite cavalry of the Mongolian headquarters, which is the trump card division that the Mongols will not use to attack the city unless it is absolutely necessary, and it is impossible for the first wave of siege to attack the east gate. On the other hand, Wan Wensheng, the capital of Jing and Hubei who sat in the South Gate Tower, will face an overwhelming offensive, and there will be a part of the Jurchen Wanhu Jiagu Liuqi and the Han Army Wanhu Shi Tianze, who will be the first to attack.

With the detailed information obtained from Lin'an and the careful reconnaissance before the battle, the Song army was finally able to find out the number of the enemy forces attacking Xiangyang before the battle began. This is a crucial help for defending the city, and with detailed information, the Song army can make targeted deployments when arranging defenses, which is the wisest defense strategy for the under-armed defenders.

In addition, the Commander also had 5,400 cavalry units in charge of the final combat force, and the cavalry, which was the decisive arm in the field, had a very limited role in a siege if it did not open the door to carry out a surprise attack. Zhao Kui was also unwilling to rashly put his precious cavalry into the battle of attrition to defend the city and use it at will. But if they were really allowed to go out of the city and line up to attack the enemy, they would only need two or three thousand strong and capable Han cavalry from the north to fight with them, and if it was three or four thousand Mongolian cavalry, it would be extremely difficult to have a chance of victory. If the cavalry assault under the city is defeated by the enemy, the outcome will be much worse than the field battle, and they will not even have a chance to flee in all directions, and will be forced into the moat by the enemy's iron cavalry.
