The battle of defending the city of the Shenwu Guard was obviously more difficult than that of the Shence Army.

However, in the case of life and death, it is often possible to force out a person's potential.

Many of the soldiers quickly adapted after a brief panic.

They began to calm down, drew their bows and shot arrows, and re-shot the enemy soldiers who tried to climb the walls.

Those who had already taken up the walls were also crushed by hand-to-hand combat.

Lin Yuan never sent someone to support, so he let Shenwu Wei resist it, and he was not allowed to take half a step back.

In this way, the long third day of siege finally ended.

Wanyan Xiyin left a corpse in one place and withdrew his troops to leave.

On the walls of Lin'an City, there are also corpses all over the field.

The entire northern city wall, like the Shura field, was stained red with blood and covered with corpses.

In this battle, 5,000 people were killed, and 12,000 were wounded.

The proportion of casualties is the highest since the fighting.

Many of the soldiers stood on the wall after the battle, covered in blood and torn armor, not knowing how they had survived.

However, Wanyan Xiyin's losses are even heavier!

In addition to the 40,000 servant troops killed, 3,000 heavily armed men and horses were killed in battle.

This was also the first time that the Jurchen soldiers suffered casualties in the bitter fighting for several days.

And Ximen's situation with the Japanese army is much better than that of Shenwuwei.

Wanyan Zongbi still used the strategy of the servant army as cannon fodder, consuming a large amount of supplies in Lin'an City.

According to post-war statistics, 800,000 arrows were consumed on this day.

In addition, the rolling wood thunder stone on the city wall has also been depleted and must continue to be replenished.

There was no way, Lin Yuan continued to organize people to demolish people's houses.

The nearby houses are about to be demolished, and they can only be demolished farther away.

Using the soldiers of the Shence Army and the Tianwu Army, hundreds of houses within 2 miles were dismantled into bricks and stones and transported to the city wall overnight.

Chujiang Palace, Council Chamber.

"How's the progress of the arrows made by the ordnance overseer?"

"Lord Wang, the Ordnance Supervision has organized 500 craftsmen, and it can only produce 10,000 arrows a day!" The supervisor of the ordnance prison, Song Yijin answered truthfully.

"What!" Lin Yuan looked furious, "Only 10,000 arrows? Do you know how much the forbidden army is going to consume a day now? ”

"Lord Yu, it's 800,000!" Song Yijin replied quietly.

"yes, 800,000 arrows!" Lin Yuan had some embarrassment in his eyes, and in his mind, he would quickly think of the account book that the Pu family had confiscated.

There is this Song Yijin above.

The Pu family gave this person a lot of benefits, and from his hands, smuggled the equipment of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.

Smuggling has been going on for a long time.

Originally, Lin Yuan didn't plan to care about this person's smuggling.

But this person is so ignorant of what to do, and he even perfunctory the task that Lin Yuan gave him, so he can only be sorry.

Lin Yuan reminded: "The arrows in the inventory are already less than 2 million, which is only enough for the forbidden army for 2 days!" ”

"Xia Guan understands, it's just that the number of craftsmen in the Ordnance Supervisor is too small, and the progress really can't be accelerated!" Song Yijin said, and complained to Lin Yuan.

What materials are insufficient, there is not enough coal in the melting furnace, what craftsmen are lazy to strike......

After listening to his defense, Lin Yuan's expression was slightly cold, "At such a critical juncture, you can't even do this little thing, what's the use of me keeping you!" ”

"Come on, drag it out and cut it!"

Song Yijin was taken aback, and he didn't seem to expect that Lin Yuan would kill him.

Several guards burst into the hall and took him down.

Song Yijin struggled and said, "If the lower officials are not satisfied, what crime did the lower officials commit?" ”

"Humph!" Lin Yuan snorted coldly, "You have violated my military law, and you should be beheaded for your crimes!" ”

"The life and death of officials can only be decided by His Majesty, King Chu Jiang, why did you kill me!"

"Why did I kill you, you ask?" Lin Yuan directly took out the sword at his waist and raised it above his head: "Before Your Majesty leaves, give me the sword of Shang Fang, act for the Son of Heaven, and have all the power of life and death in Lin'an City!" ”

Song Yijin was completely stunned by the sword in Lin Yuan's hand.

Several guards immediately moved and dragged Song Yijin out of the hall.

"No...... I'm not convinced! ”

"King Chu Jiang, you can't kill me, my brother-in-law is Lu Yihao......"

When Song Yijin was dragged out, he was still shouting unconvinced.

But soon, with a scream outside the door, all the clamor stopped abruptly.

In the conference hall, the rest of the officials were all stunned, bowing their heads, and they didn't dare to come out.

For a moment, the council hall was silent, and even a pin could be heard falling to the ground.

"The deputy superintendent of the ordnance superintendent is out of the ranks!"

Under Lin Yuan's shout, a middle-aged man who was as thin as a penny walked out.

"Xiaguan Li Shen, I've seen the prince!"

Lin Yuan nodded, looked at this person seriously, and asked, "Li Shen, if I hand over the task of supervising the making of arrows to you now, can you complete it?" ”

Li Shen lowered his head, looked happy, and said, "The lower official guarantees to complete the task!" ”

"Don't rush to say yes just yet." Lin Yuan snorted lightly, "What I want is that the Weapons Supervisor will produce at least 100,000 arrows a day, the more the better, can you do it?" ”

"The next official can do it!" Li Shen actually agreed.

This time, Lin Yuan became a little curious.

"No jokes in the army?"

"Xia Guan is willing to make a military order, and the output of arrows in a day is more than 100,000, if not, Xia Guan is willing to be dealt with by military law!"

"Good!" Lin Yuan nodded and handed a token to him.

"From now on, you are the Weapons Supervisor, with this token, you can call all the raw materials for making arrows in the treasury at will!"

"Thank you for your appreciation!"

After Li Shen took the token, he left the palace directly.

And it didn't take long for Lin Yuan to get the news.

Li Shen was in Lin'an City, wantonly hunting down blacksmiths and craftsmen, and forcibly taking them away.

Lin Yuan just didn't hear this.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done.

After a night of arrest, the number of craftsmen in the ordnance supervision led by Li Shen directly increased to 5,000.

At the beginning, there were large groups of people who sent raw materials for coal and arrows to the ten weapons workshops of the Ordnance Supervisor.

All the craftsmen are put into intense production.

This kind of work efficiency impressed Lin Yuan.

I can't see that this Li Shen is still a talent.

The arrest of craftsmen overnight made the people of the city panic.

The next day, Lin Yuan directly issued a list of articles, stating the reasons clearly and reassuring the people.

The uneasiness in Lin'an City calmed down.

On the fourth day of the city defense battle, the Shence army replaced the Shenwu Guard, and the Japanese army replaced the Tianwu army.

The defensive formation returned to the first two days.

And the two Wanyan Zongbi on the opposite side actually began to change the attack echelon.

This attack, in addition to the servant army, was also sandwiched between a large number of Jurchen soldiers.

The reason for this is to appease the servants.

In the first three days, the servant army had lost too many people in the battle, but the Jurchen soldiers had almost no casualties, which made the servant army disheartened and began to wait passively for battle.

The inclusion of Jurchen soldiers in the servant army can not only improve the morale of the servant army, but also play a role of supervision and surveillance.

In addition, Wanyan Zongbi didn't know where to find a few catapults, which increased the power of the siege.
