"Your Majesty, don't be sad. Where can I die in war?" Zhao Bing, who was far away on the sea, also witnessed the tragic scene on the top of the city. He put down his telescope and said sadly for a long time. Ying Jieyan persuaded him when he saw this."

"I understand that they are all veterans from Quanzhou who followed me into Qiong, Guo Xiaoliu, Zhuang, Chen A San, Lin Yushan..." Zhao Bing cried as he counted the names of veterans who died with the enemy at the top of the city.

"They all remember the kindness of Your Majesty, so that they will be loyal to Your Majesty!" Zhang Shijie sighed secretly and advised, "Don't control the soldiers, Your Majesty's heart is still too soft. There are thousands of casualties on the battlefield, and now that only a few people have died, how can they command thousands of troops?

"We must find the corpses of their people to be buried with a grand funeral. We can join in and reward them. I will sacrifice to the heroic spirits in person!" Zhao Bing wiped his tears and sobbed.

"I will definitely do this well by obeying the order!" Zhang Shijie was very surprised. How great a favor would the emperor give sacrifices to himself? There were not many people who could receive the emperor's personal sacrifices since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Even if he died now, he might not be able to get such grace. An ordinary military soldier could be kept silent after being worshipped by the emperor.

"Supervisor Shu, Suodu is not far from the city. We must take down Quanzhou City as soon as possible. Our soldiers cannot be sacrificed in vain!" Zhao Bing said solemnly when he saw the west bank of Jinjiang.

"Yes, Your Majesty. You have already reached the city wall later. You can't drive us down again!" Zhang Shijie bowed. He was surprised to see the little emperor with tears on his face, and his words were tragic, which made people feel a sense of unity.

As all the Ruifeng Battalions successfully entered the city, they not only consolidated their foothold, but also snatched the urn to build a bridgehead, forming a relatively stable defense line. Liu Zhu immediately directed the transport ship to move forward regardless of the danger of stranding, and then put down the suspension bridge. The crossbow and gun ship also increased the elevation angle to start attacking the enemy reinforcements gathered behind the city, fighting against the stone throwing machine set up by the enemy, suppressing the enemy archers in the east and west cities, and covering the army to the city.

After the ten-foot-long suspension bridge was put down, it unfolded again. The hoe at the front end was deeply drilled into the rammed earth on the city, connecting the ship with the city head. The soldiers of the central army, who had been impatient, immediately attacked and rushed up to the city head along the suspension bridge. Zhao Bing saw from the telescope that the first person to jump up to the city was Zhao Mengjin. He cursed the guy who didn't know how to die, and he was completely relieved. With this powerful general in front of commanding and dispatching, the Yuan army who wanted to retake the city head was like a tiger robbing meat...

Xia Jing led his troops to the city, and his heart was thrusting. He did not expect the situation to develop so quickly. The Song army easily got on the top of the city with a long pole and a wooden box. Seeing that the situation was serious and it was out of control, he personally killed the guard of the South Gate and immediately launched a counterattack. At the same time, he mobilized stone throwing machines to shoot at the enemy ships outside the city, in order to suppress the enemy's support firepower and cut off the channels for the Song army to increase troops. However, the counterattack was not smooth. Several strong attacks were repelled by the Song army. Their stone throwing machines were slow to shoot and low power, and they were not the opponent of the Song army's crossbows. Not only did they fail to repel the enemy navy, they suffered heavy losses and were destroyed by the plane.

Everyone was born with the same roots. Xia Jing even saw the figures of his former subordinates on the top of the city, but the tenacity they showed was different from the past. Not only did they fight to the death against several times the opponents, but they also kept attacking each other. He was also a soldier, so he naturally understood that this was not a morale that could be inspired by a heavy reward. But just two years after they parted, what could make these people who had been under the sword for the rest of their lives exuding such huge combat power? He couldn't figure it out for a while, but he still couldn't break through the defense line established by the old subordinates and recapture the city.

Several counterattacks failed and suffered heavy losses. The three thousand people he brought were fighting were getting fewer and fewer, but the Song army continued to surge onto the city. Now the rewards sent by Pu Shougeng were no longer difficult to mobilize morale. After all, if you have the fate, you have to have the fate. Xia Jing saw that the army was flinched, he could only kill several people in a row to attack again. At the same time, he sent people to send letters to the Pu Mansion and dispatch reinforcements, but the reinforcements were not here for a long time.

The attack failed again, and the Song army on the top of the city had already begun to spread to the east and west cities. Xia Jing knew that the small amount of troops he had in his hands could no longer recapture the Nancheng. In desperation, he could only order another line of defense in the city to block the Song army in the lower city, and then send troops to strengthen the defense of the east and west cities in order to delay time. He quickly returned to the Pu Mansion and asked for reinforcements, but when he walked into the hall, he saw a noise inside, as if he was on the market.

"Governor, the enemy brigade has already come to the city, and the left wing army has suffered heavy losses. Please help reinforcements early!" Xia Jing did not care about much and bowed to the top.

"Xia Du Tong, I have no soldiers to send!" Pu Shougeng spread his hands.

"Governor, where is the Red Army of the Baijianu's Discovery?" Xia Jing knew that the private army of Pu's mansion was the capital for protecting the house and would not use it easily. The Red Army of the Baijianu led by the Baijianu is the only adjustable force in the city. Those young and strong men who were temporarily recruited asked them to send supplies and repair the city walls, but they really didn't feel at ease going to the city. Last year, there were even soldiers in the city secretly gathering people to plan to kill officials and seize the city!

"Xia Dutong, the Northern City is very anxious to attack the city. After several attacks, the hundreds of slaves went out of the city to counterattack several times, but they were also quite damaged. They can't retreat now!" Pu Shougeng rubbed his hands and said anxiously.

"Governor, the lower officials thought Luocheng could no longer be defended, so they might as well give up retreating to the inner city. The left prime minister has already arrived in Jinjiang, so we just need to stick to wait for help!" Tian Zhenzi stood up and said.

"No, once the Song army enters the city, our Pu Mansion will be at the brunt of the battle and we must not retreat to Zicheng!" Before Pu Shougeng could speak, Shi Si refused to say now.

"Pu Wanhu, the governor and his family can retreat to Zicheng together. When the left prime minister arrives, he can get rid of the siege and then he can return to the mansion!" Tian Zhenzi thought to himself that he was sacrificing his life and not giving up money, but he could not say this, so he could only persuade him again.

"Prince Tian, ​​the Song army has become plundered. How can we let my mansion go? There are the savings of several generations. If we don't have these, what can we offer to you..." Shi Si glanced at Tian Zhenzi and sneered.

"Then please transfer the guards in the mansion to jointly defend the city to ensure that they will not lose it!" Of course Tian Zhenzi knew that he was a dog in the eyes of the Pu family, but he also knew that once the Song army broke the city, he would never let him go, and he could only swallow his anger and beg.

"Master Tian has a good idea, so please come forward and recruit the guards from all the families in the city to coordinate the defense of the city!" Shi Si clapped and smiled.

"This..." Tian Zhenzi had millions of grass and mud horses running in her heart at this moment. Who wouldn't know that the merchants in this city all regarded the Pu family as theirs, and even if he was the prefect, it would be difficult for them to follow their orders.
