Chapter 511 Division
Perhaps Ni Liang tried his best to get a slave to the hundreds of families, or perhaps Ni Liang really saw through Zhao Mengjin's plan, but Zhao Bing would rather believe that this fool had finally gotten enlightened. Continuous learning made him make great progress. Anyway, the next battle was as he said. Zhao Mengjin attracted the enemy troops in the Pu Mansion step by step to the front hall through continuous feint attacks. Then, he ordered the soldiers hidden on the east and west wings to use the method of blasting to blow up the seemingly indestructible walls, respectively.
After quickly annihilated the enemy soldiers defending the courtyards of the east and west, they opened the passage with the main courtyard by continuous blasting, and organized troops to divide the Pu Mansion into two parts, completing the encirclement of the foreign mansion. At this time, Zhao Mengjin continued to bombard the enemy troops gathered in the front hall with crossbows, completely destroying the gate of the mansion. The enemy troops retreated to the barricades with heavy casualties. Then the Song army placed the light barricades on the wall of the courtyard and sent archers to the city, bombarded the enemy soldiers hiding behind the barricades, and suppressed the enemy archers on the front hall to cover the army into the mansion.
Since the grenade was revealed by His Majesty, it attracted the attention of the generals in the army. They could see that this thing was not only unstoppable in close combat, but also a powerful weapon for siege. Although this thing is not as far as a bow and arrow, it is powerful, with one blowout and a large area. It is less affected by the terrain and is simple to use. The soldiers can master it after a short training. However, since His Majesty has not yet solved the problem of automatic fire, it can only be temporarily used by special grenadiers. Therefore, each unit has selected a group of soldiers with strong arm strength and flexible movements to form a grenadier team.
Under the cover of the shield soldiers, the grenadier threw the grenade into the barricade at about forty steps. The Quanzhou Army, which was already suppressed by the Song army's crossbows and archers, was hit by the grenades again. It was difficult to raise the fighting spirit, and those who could move backed. Seeing that the Song army broke through two lines of defense in a row, the left-wing army suffered heavy casualties, and the Baijiashu's explorer did not come back after he went out. He knew that the front hall could no longer be defended. If he was surrounded by the Song army, he would have no chance of life, so he led the remaining soldiers to retreat.
Xia Jing originally wanted to retreat to the inner palace, but after he came out, the situation had changed drastically. The Song army had detoured to occupy the schoolyard between the inner palace and the outer palace. The place was large enough, and it was a place where Pu Mansion private soldiers performed martial arts on weekdays, but now it became an insurmountable obstacle for them. He could only retreat and enter the back hall to meet with Sun Shengfu, who was also separated from here.
"Xia Dutong, how about it?" Sun Shengfu asked an arrow to repel the pursuing Song army and responded to him and asked.
"Oh, it's not good!" Xia Jing wiped the blood from his face, pointed at his subordinates who had followed him and retreated with less than a hundred people and smiled bitterly, "What's the matter here?"
"Oh, the Song army suddenly attacked from both wings. After I appeared, I hurriedly led the army back to the rescue. Several counterattacks did not work. I could only avoid this for the time being. There were only three or four hundred people left." Sun Shengfu sighed.
"This is not a place to stay for a long time, so you still have to try to meet with the governor!" The back hall was originally a place where Pu Shougeng works daily and meets and entertains important people in private. Although it is a courtyard, the place is not big, but the layout is quite exquisite. Now it is also a mess. Bookshelf and long cases are used to block the courtyard gate. The private soldiers led by Sun Shengfu are all called brave on weekdays, and they are all unfair and unhappy when they see people. It seems that if the Heavenly King is offended, they can be pulled over and beat them. But at this moment, they are like frightened wild dogs, with panic and flickering eyes. They hide behind the wall and their heads and calves are cramped. They suffer a great loss in front of Song Jun and can no longer be arrogant.
"I'm afraid it's difficult. Now the Song army brigade has entered the mansion. With us, we're afraid that we can't even get out of the door!" Sun Shengfu said in frustration.
"What should I do? You can't sit there and wait for death!" Xia Jing asked with a frown. They were surrounded in this small place. The Song army could burn them all here with just a fire.
"Xia Dutong, so what if he can meet with the governor? The Song army has surrounded the mansion, and the reinforcements outside the city have not arrived yet. Now more than half of the troops retreating into the mansion have been lost. Only hundreds of personal guards commanded by Shi Si and gathered slaves are left in the mansion. I am afraid that they will be captured until dark!" Sun Shengfu said softly with a flashing look on his eyes.
"Are you... you want to surrender?" Xia Jing was surprised when he heard the wrong words. He looked around and lowered his voice.
"The old thief wanted us to block the gun for him. If the little emperor had not seen through his trick, he would have gone far away long ago!" Sun Shengfu pulled Xia Jing aside and said.
"Oh, Quanzhou is surrounded like an iron barrel. How could he escape?" Xia Jing asked in confusion.
"Don't you know that Pu Dutong Xia has a secret passage leading to the outside of the city. He wanted to give up the city defense and retreat to his home. Do you think he is for the country and the people? He is actually for his own family wealth!" Sun Shengfu said with a sneer.
"How do you say this?" Xia Jing frowned. He knew that he and Pu Shougeng were grasshoppers on the same rope, and they were both people that the little emperor must kill, but he did not expect that he was ready to retreat, but he did not disclose it to him at all.
"The old thief did not expect that the Song army would conquer Nancheng so quickly, so his family's wealth would not be transferred. Therefore, when the city was broken, he would turn you into the mansion to defend it, and he also asked someone to seek time to transfer the property!" Sun Shengfu said, "The family has a lot of wealth, and the Song army has a tight defense. He could only secretly use a small boat to transport it in the dark night. But he was afraid that others would take his things, so he kept asking his young son Junwen to be responsible for the matter."
"Well, I said why I have never seen him appear before. It turned out to be done like this." Xia Jing said with a very ugly face when he heard this. He gave up his official position in the Song Dynasty for him and rebelled, but he still couldn't get his trust. He also thought that Tian Zhenzi ran for him but was shot and killed by the Song army, and felt even more desolate.
"But the old thief still hadn't planned to plot against the little emperor. He was about to sneak away after transferring the valuables and was about to borrow these property to make a comeback. Who would have thought that just a few ships were transported out last night. Today, the little emperor personally supervised the battle to attack the city. He also acted as he waited for the tide to rise and blocked the moisture barrier before launching a strong attack. He trapped the old thief in the mansion. It was really retribution!" Sun Shengfu said gritting his teeth.
