Jiankang House!

"How is the situation of our army now?" asked Boyan.

It has been more than a month since the siege of the Huaxia Army. In the past month or so, the Huaxia army did not launch a large-scale attack, but continued to send small forces to harass the position, which annoyed the soldiers in the city, although they wanted to repel it, but the opponent's forces were too strong, they still did not dare to provoke easily, but fell into the trap of the other side.

In this way, the two armies confronted each other around this Jiankang Mansion.

Arhan shook his head and replied, "Alas. It's still the same as before, and the losses are not big, that is, the Huaxia army has always launched attacks against us. ”

"Is that so?" said Boyan thoughtfully.

"That's right. Ah Rahan replied angrily: "Because of this, many generals in the army are quite complaining, thinking that we should rush out of Jiankang Mansion and fight to the death with the other party." ”

Boyan snorted lightly, shook his head and said, "Fight to the death, those guys, don't you know that the Huaxia Army is not the Song Army, how can it be defeated so easily?"

"That's just as well. Ah Rahan sighed, then raised his head and looked at Boyan: "It's just a marshal, then we will nest in the city? ”

Previously, they had not tried to send soldiers to fight the Huaxia army, but with the familiar cooperation of the other party, their soldiers were basically crushed at the first touch, and they could not fight in front of the Huaxia army with the artillery in the sky.

There is no other reason, it is purely that the Chinese army and navy are too powerful.

With the guns of the Nujiao-class battleships with a range of dozens of miles, the Huaxia Navy could launch an attack at a considerable distance, so that before the Yuan army could attack, it was attacked by the Huaxia army, and the so-called attack naturally became a joke.

Sensing the unwillingness in Ah Han's eyes, Bo Yan replied: "Then what should I do? It's not that you don't understand, when the Huaxia army and navy are too strong, and we have no way to fight their ironclad ships, it is impossible to defeat the other party. Now, we can only drag it out, and when the Huaxia army can't support it, it's time for us to counterattack. You, understand?"

In the past, they did not build a naval army, and when attacking the Song Dynasty, they accepted a large number of Song Dynasty naval troops, and their naval strength was naturally quite large.

With thousands of warships and tens of thousands of soldiers, its scale is naturally extraordinary.

At that time, they even thought that with these naval armies, they could capture Xiangyang in one fell swoop and completely smash the Huaxia army.

However, the Huaxia army took out an epoch-making ironclad ship, which was just like the original gun, with its tough steel plus range and powerful artillery, it directly eliminated the warships under their command. Even if they gathered hundreds of warships and tried to outmaneuver the opponent by numerical superiority, they would not be able to fight the opponent, and eventually the artillery was shattered one by one, turning into a useless pile of broken wood.

Nowadays, the number of warships like the Nujiao class continues to increase, and now its number has reached more than 30, patrolling the Yangtze River every day, and with the artillery above, attacking Jiankang Mansion.

The sound of a cannon as powerful as Lei Gong has become a nightmare for the soldiers in the city.

Every time this sound was heard, many soldiers would be severely wounded, and even if they were angry about it, it would be useless in the end.

It's not that Boyan didn't think about sending people to destroy these ironclad ships, but these ironclad ships were heavily guarded, and in addition to patrolling during the day, they would retreat in Wuhu at night, protected by the Huaxia army, which could be said to be completely impossible.

Faced with this situation, even though Boyan was extremely annoyed, he could only cry out in vain.

Seeing Boyan's sad face, Ah Rahan's eyes condensed slightly, and he thought for a moment in his heart, and then said: "And marshal, do you know that there are a lot of gossips in the city now?"

Boyan was slightly stunned in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What are the rumors?"

"This. It's all about some Huayi distinctions. What are the words such as 'we are barbarians and do not understand the way of etiquette', 'the Chinese army does the way for heaven', 'brothers work together to resist the enemy's humiliation' and so on. Ah Han looked slightly stunned, and seeing Boyan's serious expression, he had to tell Boyan all this.

After Boyan heard this, the whole person was also stunned, and sighed suddenly: "That Xiao Feng, it's really a good idea." ”

"And what should we do?" asked Arhan.

Because of these words, there have been several brawls in the city, either the Semu and Mongol soldiers bullying others, or the Han soldiers rising up to resist, even if he tried to suppress the situation, he was completely unable to suppress this situation.

Boyan replied: "In the current situation, what can we do? I can only obey the fate of heaven!" His face was blank, as if he had accepted all this.

He did not fail to try his best to make up for this contradiction, and he had killed several Mongol soldiers for this earlier, but it still did not quell it. The Mongol soldier reproached him for punishing him too much, while the Han soldier thought that he was just pretending, and at most he was just a little evasive when he acted.

Others, it's still the same.

"Okay. I understand. Ah Rahan replied unwillingly.

Bo Yan sighed, and thought to himself: "If this is the case, is it possible that we really can't break all this?"

"If that's the case, then maybe you can only ask the Khan for help?"

With a solemn expression, Boyan finally had to pin all his hopes on the distant capital.

If Brother Ali Buge personally brought the troops over, he might be able to solve all these problems in front of him.

............

"In this way, Boyan alone can't defeat that Xiao Feng?"

After reading the fold in his hand, Brother Ali raised his head, but looked at Zhao Bi and asked, "According to the prime minister, what should I do?"

That Liu Bingzhong is already old, although he introduced Hao Jing to Brother Ali Buge, so that Brother Ali Buge made up his mind to destroy the Song Dynasty, but since then, he has passed away one after another due to age. For this reason, Ali Buge could only promote Zhao Bi and make him temporarily lead the ministers of the court, so as to stabilize the political situation in the north and create a good opportunity for the Naboyan front line.

"This ......!"

Zhao Bi took the fold, looked at it, and said: "If the situation is really as Boyan said, I'm afraid that we won't have a chance, if we want to continue to stay in Jiangnan, I'm afraid that it will change later." Khan.. ”

Ali Bugordon was annoyed and scolded sharply: "According to what you said, is it possible that you want me to withdraw my troops and give the huge territory of the Song Dynasty to that Xiao Feng?"

"Your Majesty, that's not the case. ”

Zhao Bi hurriedly explained: "It's just that in the current situation, my consumption is too great. In the countryside, there have long been complaints. If the war continues, I am afraid that if it is right, it will cause riots. At that time, if someone raises his arms and waves, I am afraid that this Central Plains will not be owned by us. ”

Since he became prime minister, he has always wanted to pacify the people under his rule, but unfortunately because of the need to maintain the army to fight, he had to carry out all kinds of harsh torture in order to collect more food, which naturally aroused the disgust of many people. In addition, the Huaxia Army fanned the flames behind the scenes, and even sent many people to go deep into the Central Plains to incite those people to set off a rebellion, which made the huge Central Plains area seem to be boiling, as if it would explode anytime and anywhere.

In the face of such a scene, although Zhao Bi had the intention to appease, he was powerless.

"So what? Just defeat the Huaxia army and annex the Song Dynasty, and these things can naturally be solved. Ali Buge didn't care, and only regarded these as ordinary things.

Wechen understood. ”

Zhao Bi saw that Ali Buge had such an attitude, so he had to put away his exhortation thoughts, just because he understood that if he continued to persuade him, he would inevitably be ousted from power: "It's just that what about Boyan? I don't know how Your Majesty plans to solve it?"

"Boyan, if that's the case, maybe I'm the only one who will be on the expedition. Ali Buge took a deep breath and immediately made up his mind.

Zhao Bi was stunned, and hurriedly said: "You also know that the Huaxia Army is not an easy person, if you go out in person, I am afraid that there will be danger, Khan." ”

"Hmph. I am a member of the Golden Family, how can I be afraid of these guns?"

Brother Ali was disdainful, and shouted again: "And you also know that Xiao Feng's strength is not trivial." If I don't go into battle in person, how can others fight against her? Since she is in battle in person, if I cower, wouldn't it make people laugh, even a woman?" Seeing that Zhao Bi still wanted to continue to defend himself, he replied again: "And if I am like this now, then Huaxia will naturally be the same." Today's war is a national war. If one party loses and the other party swallows the Song Dynasty, it is really a complete loss, and if you still want to turn the tables, it is categorically impossible. That's why I'm going to finish my work in one battle and completely defeat the Huaxia army, and only in this way can I show the strength of our dynasty, do you understand?"

Zhao Bi bowed and replied, "Weichen understands." ”

He has been following Ali Buge for so many years, and he also knows this person's temperament, and if he continues to persevere, there will be no benefit.

And as far as the current situation is concerned, they are about to be unable to support it, in this case, it is better to take out all their forces as Ali Buge said, and confront the Huaxia army head-on, maybe they can also open up a life.

"Good. In that case, then go down and raise me an army of 200,000. When I wait until the autumn of this year, I will personally go on the expedition, and I will definitely make Xiao Feng look good. Ali Buge laughed loudly, with considerable confidence on his face.

After so many years of cultivation, Brother Ali Buge is no longer the fledgling boy he was at the beginning, he has mastered the immortal heaven perfectly, and he is confident that he can compete with Xiao Feng.

Zhao Bi bowed and said, "Weichen understands. ”

Now that the war has entered the decisive stage, it is difficult for anyone to avoid it, and they can only passively be involved in it, shaping their own history.
