The Meizhou infantry was homesick and fearful of the brutality of the Mongolian army, and now they were about to be killed, which made them even more panicked. In addition, there were members of the "Firefox" secretly agitated in the army, and these soldiers were originally forcibly recruited, and when this group of dragons had no leader, they first sneaked away sporadically, and then simply mutinied by night. They broke through the interception of the Mongol cavalry and fled the camp in all directions. Although Kudu ordered the mutineers to be killed, most of the Meizhou soldiers fled to the nearby low mountains and hills under the cover of night. It's June when the vegetation is in full bloom, and once you hide it, you can still find people there. At dawn on the second day, the Mongolian army counted the camp and found that there were only a few dozen of the 1,000 Meizhou soldiers left.

Just when Le Quanan commanded the naval brigade to encircle and annihilate the Meizhou naval army, the Mongolian army was also storming Jiading City, and the main force of the siege was naturally the new annexed army. Since the news that the Thunderbolt army was about to go south was reported by Kudu, on the one hand, Niu Ling sent people to urgently summon the Meizhou naval army back to Jiading, but before the messenger arrived, Liu Daer was defeated and died. On the other hand, he ordered his new annex army to storm the city of Jiading, in an attempt to break the resistance of the defenders with a numerical advantage. The new annex army besieging Jiading was divided into various factions such as Jianzhou, Longzhou, and Yazhou, and they passed the buck to each other. In order to solve the problem of mutual cooperation, Niu Lin ordered the new annex army to take turns to attack, and if he slacked off, he would kill people and establish power.

Cao Zhizhou was an old slippery head, and every time it was the turn of the Yazhou army to go into battle, he would send the soldiers of the Yibo and Qingqiang tribes who accompanied the expedition. In the first few times, the Yibo barbarians were very apprehensive, on the one hand, they were very useful for the deliberate praise of Cao Zhizhou, and on the other hand, they were also tempted by the money and beautiful women in the city. "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward", Niu Lu, who is well versed in this principle, promises that those who are the first to go to the city, in addition to the official promotion to the third level to give a thousand acres of good land and a hundred slaves, the children of money and silk in the city are allowed to take their own. The places where these barbarian soldiers lived were all high mountains and valleys, and their lives were very poor, so they were naturally willing to risk their lives to fight for fame and wealth.

It's just that after two days of offensive, the new annex army not only did not make the slightest progress, but suffered thousands of casualties, and the most serious casualties were the Yibo barbarians. Although the Yibo barbarians were brave and good at climbing the city wall, their flesh and blood bodies were difficult to defeat fire and iron, and they suffered more than half of the casualties in less than half a day, and they no longer refused to listen to Cao Zhizhou's rhetoric. Jane, Long and other new annexes were no better than there, and they also suffered heavy casualties, so that hundreds of dead bodies fell under the city walls. For a while, the morale of the new annexed army was low to the bottom, and they began to cower again. On the one hand, this is the chilling effect brought about by the huge casualties, and on the other hand, the despair brought about by the dimensionality reduction attack of firearms, which is a siege there, purely to send to death. Seeing this, Niu Lin ordered to kill the fleeing soldiers in the siege battle, and killed dozens of people in one day, which was enough to maintain the offensive.

Under the Mongol army's wheel offensive, the situation in Jiading City became more and more critical. Although there was no shortage of food and grass in the city, the siege equipment was constantly damaged, and the firearms and ammunition brought by Yu San were also exhausted, and even the black powder that was made later was not much left. Although the old houses in the city can still scrape a lot of fire and nitrate, but the sulfur is very scarce, so that Hou Xing led people to turn over the Chinese medicine shop, and only found dozens of catties of sulfur, and then prepared hundreds of catties of black powder. What is more serious than the lack of materials to defend the city is that the defenders are exhausted, and Zan Wanshou has no choice but to send a large number of people to the city wall, and he himself braves arrows and stones to command the most fierce attack and defense. In the past two days, his voice has been hoarse and unkempt, and there is still a trace of personable appearance.

The new annexed army continued to bombard Jiading City with ballistas and trebuchets, and also caused serious casualties to the soldiers and civilians in the city. Since the siege, more than 400 defenders have been killed and wounded, and more than 300 civilians have been killed or wounded, most of whom have been injured by arrows and thrown stones. The Thunderbolt army, which assisted in defending the city, suffered more than 80 casualties, with a casualty rate of nearly one-third. After the ammunition of the three armed merchant ships and light artillery squad ran out, the sailors and gunners were also incorporated into the special company, and together with the pro-army team led by Hou Xing, they became the strongest shield in the hands of Zan Wanshou, and were repeatedly sent to the most critical places in the city defense, which is why their casualty rate was so high.

After the destruction of the 2,000 Meizhou army, the Mongolian army attacking Jiading still had 6,000 new troops and 2,000 cavalry, except for more than 1,000 dead and wounded, even in the face of the tens of thousands of troops of the Perak army. Niu Xuan blocked the news of the defeat and death of Liu Daer's soldiers and the mutiny of the Meizhou army, and still forced the new annex army to take turns to attack the city. It's just that the high-intensity offensive and defensive battles in the past two days have made the siege equipment on both sides almost consumed, and the defenders of Jiading frequently went out of the city to blow up the newly built siege equipment such as the Mongolian army's storming the city and the cloud ladder, and the Mongolian army had to fill in the city with human lives. It is said that the defenders of Jiading attacked the siege equipment at night with explosives on their backs, so that the Mongolian army could not be guarded, or did not dare to stop at all. These Jiading soldiers were too crazy in the eyes of the new annex soldiers, and they lit the fuse of the explosive pack and threw themselves on the siege equipment, with no intention of returning alive at all.

Although the blockade was strictly ordered, the news of the fall of Meizhou and the defeat and death of Liu Da'er was also known by the other generals of the new annexed army, and they were in a dilemma at this moment. If you continue to attack in the absence of siege equipment, you will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, even if your subordinates do not mutiny, they will be greatly injured after the war due to excessive losses. It's just that the consequences of not obeying orders are even more serious, and among the dozens of people hanging on the fence of the camp, there are both soldiers who cowered and fled, and generals who failed to supervise the battle. The Mongols have always been unkind to the new annexed army, and so has the new elders, and those who hesitate to give orders are swords and axes. The generals of these new annexes had no choice but to drive their men to the siege and kill the cowerers.

The Mongol cavalry used their mobile advantage to attack the Perak army's grain routes, and even attacked Chongqing and Qiongzhou, forcing them to return to the defense, which could turn the tide of the battle and even defeat the main force of the Perak army in one fell swoop. If Jiading City is not taken, the Mongol army will be caught in a situation where it will be attacked from three sides. At that time, the Perak Army's naval forces will cut off the connection between the east and west banks of the Min River, and the Mongolian army will be under the flanking attack of the defenders of Jiading and the Perak Army going south. If the Jiading City and Le Quan'an naval army are anvils, then the field division led by Cao Ergou is an iron hammer, and the Mongolian army will be the red-hot iron that will be hammered into the shape that the Thunderbolt army wants.
