Shan Boyuan was completely defeated, and most of the 12,000-strong troops were brutally scattered, and then chased and hanged to death.

Compared with the reckless army, although his strength is a little smaller, it is far from the same situation, and it is not in morale, tactics, or coordination, but in weapons, masters, speed, etc.

Chen Lianbao took advantage of the night to turn the head of the gun and stab him in the back, which not only caught him off guard, but even Yuan Jitong's reaction was half a beat slower.

As for Shan Boyuan himself, after several rounds of arrow rain baptism on the frontal battlefield, he accidentally suffered Zhao Xun's full three swords, was seriously injured, and only picked up a small life under the desperate protection of his personal guards.

After that, he fled in embarrassment with the remnants of more than 1,000 people, and when he fled to forty miles south of the main city, he luckily ran into the small detachment scattered by Hai Jiancheng.

By the time he returned to the main city of Nanjun, the Reckless Legion had already overwhelmed the city.

The equipment was complete, and even several cannons were transported, which directly blasted several shocking gaps in the western city wall, and the demonstration was very meaningful.

Siege battles are on the verge of breaking out.

Inside the city, the generals will gather together.

Yuan Jitong looked at Shan Boyuan, whose face was pale, worriedly, and asked, "General Shan, are you okay?"

"It's okay!"

Shan Boyuan coughed violently a few times, and said ashamedly: "This time I am tired of Lord Shi, and I have no shame to see His Royal Highness the King of Shu......"

Yuan Jitong hurriedly said: "General Shan, don't blame yourself, this is actually because of the military commander's strength." In addition, my reaction was also a little sluggish, if I had detected Chen Lianbao's thoughts earlier, it would not have been so tragic. General Shan, why don't you go down and rest for a while?"

Everyone spoke out one after another.

There is no way, Shan Boyuan not only turned pale, but even coughed up blood at the corners of his mouth.

"Zhao thief soldiers are coming to the city, how can I rest? Even if I can't go to the battlefield, I can still have ideas or provide some information about the other party. Shan Boyuan waved his hand to refuse everyone's kindness, and suddenly suppressed the urge to cough up blood.

Zhao Xun's swords were indeed fierce, almost killing him.

Seeing that Shan Boyuan was so tenacious, everyone did not persuade again, but called the old doctor in the general army to prepare for the emergency.

Yuan Jitong looked around and said solemnly: "Everyone, now is the most difficult moment. His Royal Highness the King of Shu and General Liu are struggling in front, and the army of the commander is pressing the city, and the siege is imminent, in addition to the reckless army, there are still several elite teams are also rushing to the direction of the main city, once they join Zhao Xun, the number will exceed 20,000.

His Royal Highness the King of Shu means to let me look at it, no matter what, it's fine, but I must not lose the main city. Everyone, whether we take the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle, or defend the city, you can feel free to express your opinions!"

Bai Jingshan spoke first: "My lord, I think we have to take the initiative. General Wu is still outside the city, and he is currently fighting with Lu San of the Red Dragon Society, so we will go out of the city in an elite way, on the one hand, to help General Wu, and on the other hand, to go around to the flank of the Mangfu Legion, looking for an opportunity to raid, so that they can not attack the city with peace of mind. ”

Immediately, some people objected, "The people in our city are already panicked, and the troops are insufficient, if we divide the troops again, will we give the reckless army a chance?"

The reason why people are panicked is because of the cannons.

The large gap in the western wall brought a great shock to the people in the city.

The vast majority of civilians had an idea in their hearts: The King of Shu was held back by the two factions, and the army was going to take the opportunity to enter the main city, and Yuan Tingshi would not be able to hold it, so pack up and find a chance to run away!

Hai Jiancheng coughed lightly, "My lord, I think it is still necessary to persuade His Royal Highness the King of Shu again." The Dongjiang faction has no pressure from Sikong Sheng, and the potential of Jingling is fully displayed, and the troops are endless, although His Royal Highness the King of Shu is brave, but the heroes can't stand the crowd. ”

If you continue to fight, sooner or later you will be drowned by the sea of people sent by the Dongjiang faction, unless Luoyang and Yongzhou send troops again.

The suggestion of returning to the main city to defend was mentioned when the French Shuai Army sent the elite into Nanjun to be used as a-stirring stick, and Hai Jiancheng was not the only one.

However, Lu Yuanyu refused.

Give a reason: If you just defend the main city, you will only die, and you will die quickly and ugly. If you take the initiative to fight, although the possibility of drowning is very high, it is also possible to usher in a turnaround.

The turning point was in Nie Jin and the Khitans.

If Nie Jin can really defeat the Khitans, or if Nie Jin is completely defeated and the Khitans are greatly injured, any situation will greatly reduce the pressure on Luoyang, and then he can send troops to help Jingzhou.

At that time, it was proposed to design the French army and the two factions to fight to the death in the northern part of the southern county.

Lu Yuanyu came back on the spot: "Do you think Lu Xifa is a fool? If we all retreat to the main city, what reason does he have to stay in Nanjun and fight with the two factions? The reason why he sent the so-called-stirring stick army in was originally the idea of fishing. Let him be one of the two protagonists in the ring, will he be willing to go back and guard the four counties to do good development?"

After a few rhetorical questions, everyone present at the time was speechless.

This time, Zhao Xun's army pressed the city, and Hai Jiancheng had to bring up the old matter again.

There was really no time to wait for the outcome of the battle between Nie Jin and the Khitans.

In case Lu Yuanyu's main force collapsed, it would be useless for Yuan Ji and others to defend the main city, so it would be better to start defending with all their might as soon as they came up.

It is better to die late than early.

"What His Royal Highness the King of Shu decides, no matter how much we say, it's useless. ”

Bai Jingshan sighed and said, "What's more, even if His Royal Highness the King of Shu is willing to defend now, the two factions will definitely not be happy." will definitely pull their hind legs desperately, which can be seen from the strength of the attack in the past few days.

General Wu is only facing Lu San, it should be no big deal, what I'm worried about is General Liu. In my opinion, we will defend the city first, and General Wu does not need to go back to the city to help us, but directly go to help General Liu, resist the Dongjiang faction to the death, and must not let them penetrate it.

At the same time, we can suggest to His Royal Highness the King of Shu that Feng Zhongyi in Luoyang think of a way, of course it is impossible for a large army of tens of thousands, but it should not be a problem to squeeze out one or two thousands of elites. If you can win a few big games, you may be able to breathe a sigh of relief and drag it out for a while. ”

This is quite coherent.

Quite a few nodded in agreement.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......"

The shocking explosion rang out again.

Soon someone came in to report.

"Lord Assassin Shi, generals, it's not good, Zhao Xun ordered the siege of the city......" The reporter's face was full of panic, and his speech was a little unfavorable.

"Really attacked, are you sure it's not a scare?" everyone stood up.

"How dare my subordinates joke. The reporter continued: "In addition to the cannon bombardment of the city gates, there are also wall-climbing teams, and many masters have climbed up to the corners, and they have fought several circles on the city walls. If it weren't for the thick sand and gravel sealed by the West Gate, I am afraid it would have been blasted through. ”

Yuan Jitong scolded in a low voice, and waved his big hand, "Everyone come with me!"
