Since taking over the work of the "Demolition and Relocation Office", Lu Xiufu has had a headache.

It is normal for people to care for their families and love their families, and even during the war, it is very difficult to ask them to move out of the house where they have lived all their lives.

After the discussion ended, Lu Xiufu posted an announcement announcing the demolition.

After years of war, the people were displaced, with heavy casualties, and even the capital city of Lin'an was empty, so the people who moved away did not worry about having no place to live.

Even so, there are very few people who are really willing to move away obediently, which makes Lu Xiufu anxious.

Demolition is the first step in the placement of the garrison troops, and it must be solved as soon as possible.

First, inform the people living near the city wall that the Mongol army has brought a large number of return cannons this time, which can be directly hit within the city wall. If you don't want to suffer from the disaster of pond fish, it's better to relocate obediently.

Mongolia's three expeditions to the west brought back many outstanding craftsmen from the Middle East, which to a certain extent promoted the upgrading of Mongolian weapons and equipment, and the Huihui artillery was one of the best.

Huihui cannon, also known as the Western Regions cannon, Xiangyang cannon, is a new type of stone thrower.

This kind of stone throwing machine is two Hui people who believe in Islam, on the basis of the ancient stone throwing machine, improved, improved, innovated more advanced, more powerful.

In the battle of Xiangyang in the Song and Yuan dynasties, the Huihui cannon showed its might, broke through the thick city wall of Xiangyang City in one fell swoop, and made great contributions to the Mongolian army to finally take Xiangyang City, so it is also called Xiangyang Cannon.

Second, it directly uses means against the real diehards, mobilizes the army to forcibly demolish them, and shows no mercy.

Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures. Lu Xiufu is a civil official, and he likes to follow the ideas of a civil official, while Ouyang Shuoke is a typical realist, and he will do whatever works best.

Sure enough, hearing about the power of the return cannon, the people living near the city wall ran faster than rabbits. Not only the people within 500 meters, but also those within 500 meters took the initiative to evacuate.

This is the herd mentality of the people.

When the people evacuated, a large-scale renovation began, which lasted for several days. Strange to say, the Mongolian army outside the city has been quiet these days, and there has been no movement at all.

And just when the troops were changing guards, a rumor flowed out of Lin'an City.

said that the Mongol army was brutal and unkind, slaughtering the people of the Central Plains, and God would punish them. For this reason, the Jade Emperor of Heaven sent heavenly soldiers and generals to assist the imperial court to jointly fight against the Mongol army.

Some people living near the camp in the west of the city swore that on that day, the heavens and the earth changed color, only to see a dazzling white light flashing, and 400,000 heavenly soldiers and generals appeared out of thin air.

Because there were many people who saw this, it naturally became more and more evil, and even the soldiers in the barracks were talking about this matter, and they were conclusive and convinced.

In addition, the army on all sides has begun to change its guard recently, and the people can easily see it, and they are even more convinced when they see these troops wearing armor that is obviously different from the armor of the Song army.

The words of the heavenly soldiers and generals gradually became convinced.

At this time, the imperial court had a decree to crown Ouyang Shuo as the king of Xia and was ordered to fight against the Mongol army.

Some people say that King Xia is an immortal sent by the Jade Emperor, who can call the wind and rain and summon ancient gods, such as evil and Xu Chu.

Evil came and rode around the city on a rakshasa, causing a burst of exclamations.

At this time, the people were convinced.

Taoism flourished in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and reached a peak in the Song Dynasty, and the theory of immortals has become popular, so this rumor has a very popular base and is easily accepted by the people of Lin'an.

Once you accept this statement, you will naturally be more confident.

Although the Mongolian army is very scary, no matter how powerful it is, it can't compare to the heavenly soldiers, right?! In just a few days, the panicked hearts of the people were somewhat reassured.

And all this, naturally, Ouyang Shuo is plotting behind his back.

Xiongba got the news and shook his head funny, "I didn't expect it to be so simple!" "It's true that a lot of things that seem complicated are actually easier to deal with.

The difference lies in the ability to think differently.

…………

On the sixth day of the campaign, early in the morning.

The Mongolian army has not moved for several days, which makes Ouyang Shuo quite uneasy, and the armies on all sides have sent scouts out of the city to investigate, trying to find out what the Mongolian army is doing.

Ouyang Shuo, accompanied by Guo Ziyi, the general of the North Gate, climbed the North City Tower and looked into the distance.

As far as the eye can see, the outside of the city is densely packed with Mongolian military camps, and the white yurts are one after another, and there is no edge in sight.

And this was only the vanguard of the Mongol army, and the real main force was not in the suburbs, but in the farther city garrison.

A million-strong army besieges the city, this is also a game, and it is impossible to happen in reality.

Not to mention anything else, the consumption of grain and grass materials alone can empty the entire Jiangnan in half a year, leaving nothing behind, and truly becoming a place of wilderness and ruins.

Apparently, Gaia was blurred in the campaign map.

"What does the general think the Mongols are planning?" Ouyang Shuo asked suddenly.

Guo Ziyi was obviously stunned, in the past few days, he was mainly busy setting up the North Gate Command Post, docking with the Southern Song Dynasty Imperial Court, and at the same time leading the team to familiarize himself with the city defense facilities in the north, checking and filling in the gaps, but he didn't think much about this problem.

Since Ouyang Shuo asked, Guo Ziyi had to answer it well.

After thinking for a while, Guo Ziyi replied: "There are no more than two reasons why the enemy army does not attack the city. Either they're changing internally, or they're just not ready for something. ”

"In this situation at the moment, the probability of internal change is very small, and the biggest possibility is that some killer weapon is being prepared." Guo Ziyi spoke his judgment.

"So, what would be the killer feature?"

Ouyang Shuo looked at the Mongolian military camp in the distance, not knowing whether he was asking Guo Ziyi or asking himself.

"Please also reassure the king, the last general expects that the scouts will bring news in the next two days, and everything will be clear by then." Guo Ziyi said with relief.

Ouyang Shuo was noncommittal, "This king faintly feels that in the farther away, there is a monstrous resentment slowly condensing, and I don't know what the Mongolian army is doing to hurt the heavens and reason." ”

Guo Ziyi listened, his heart trembled, he heard the lord phoenix prisoner said that King Xia not only ruled martial arts, but also his personal cultivation was amazing, and his cultivation was the top mystical exercises.

With this perception, it is estimated that eight or nine are not far from ten.

Guo Ziyi clenched his fists and said: "Don't worry, the king will step up his vigilance in the end." ”

Ouyang Shuo nodded, and then walked down the city tower, he faintly felt that this was the last calm before the storm, and a bloody battle was about to begin.

…………

I have to say that Ouyang Shuo's hunch is very accurate.

On the seventh day of the battle, the Mongol army, which had not moved, finally moved.

On this day, the sky was just bright, and outside the city of Lin'an, hundreds of thousands of Han people suddenly poured in from all directions. I saw that they were all ragged, emaciated, and frightened, and they were driven by the Mongol army like sheep to Lin'an City, and they did not stop until they were a stone's throw away from the city wall.

Upstairs in Nancheng, Zhang Shijie looked at the refugees outside the city, his face was extremely ugly, "I knew that this group of beasts would use such a method." ”

Wen Tianxiang on the side also looked solemn, his fists clenched, and there was fire in his eyes. Depending on the situation, Zhang Shijie and Wen Tianxiang seem to know what the Mongols are going to do.

The reason why the Mongol army did not attack the city in the past few days was to plunder the Han people everywhere, drive them together like cattle and sheep in the grassland, and then gather outside the city of Lin'an.

The next scene made Ouyang Shuo and the others see it, and their eyes are cracked one by one.

I saw these yellow-skinned people holding simple tools, digging on the spot under the supervision of the Mongol soldiers, and then building earth forts with mud.

In the process, if you dare to be lazy or slow, the whip of the prison army will fall mercilessly. These overseers had grown up on horseback, and the whip was called a cruel whip.

When the whip goes down, the beaten person not only has broken clothes, but also has open skin.

The expressions of the Mongol sergeants were even more angry, and depending on the situation, they did not treat these people as human beings at all, and beat and scolded them wantonly, and even let out perverted laughter while beating, as if they were enjoying it very much.

"A bunch of brutes!"

The Mongols regard the Han people as fish and meat, and the barbaric conquest of civilization really makes people gnash their teeth.

Seeing that their comrades were being mistreated like this, the soldiers defending the city really couldn't bear to kill, and if they really wanted to do that, what difference would they be from animals.

In this way, the Mongols smoothly used the Han people to build earthen forts around the city wall. Depending on the situation, this earthen fort is probably higher than the city walls of Lin'an City. If these earthen forts are really built, they will become an excellent outpost for the Mongol army to attack the city, and it will be more effective than moving arrow towers.

Even more tragic and indignant is yet to come.

These captured people were already hungry, and in the process of building the earthen fort, they could only receive a night of gruel with clear soup and little water for each meal, not to mention that they were full, and they couldn't even make a basic stomach.

If you don't have enough to eat, you have to do heavy work, and where can you support it, since the afternoon, there have been people who are physically exhausted and faint to the ground.

How did the Mongol prison army deal with these fainting people?

Not to mention carrying them away for treatment, they didn't even have the time to whip them, so they directly hacked them to death with a knife and threw the corpses into the earthen fort under construction to serve as "building materials".

Such acts are truly appalling.

By the next day, the Mongols had behaved completely beyond the category of "people".

I saw that the Mongols suddenly set up a one-person-high boiler between the earthen forts, and Ouyang Shuo and the others couldn't see why.

"What are they going to do, make a fire and cook?" The phoenix prisoner was puzzled.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, he didn't know.

Fortunately, the answer was soon revealed.

I saw that the Mongol army threw the living people into the boiler and burned them alive, the purpose of which was to refine the corpse oil from the living.

The mournful wails of the people in the boiler made people's faces pale.

"Vomit~~~"

Seeing that the Mongolian sergeant asked people to collect corpse oil from the boiler, the phoenix prisoner couldn't hold back anymore and vomited on the spot.

Ouyang Shuo's face was extremely ugly, his eyes were fixed on the Mongolian army outside the city, and he said coldly: "This group of beasts is not worthy of living in this world at all. ”

For the first time, Ouyang Shuo hated a group of people so much.
