On April 22, the Yuan army, who had been in quarantine for one day, attacked again, and the heavy casualties finally tore off the mask of benevolence and righteousness. He was not idle this day, but he captured a large number of people from all townships, taking women and children as the front drive, followed by the young and strong man holding wooden sticks and bamboo guns, followed by the Mongolian cavalry supervising the battle. Bi                                                                                                                                                                                                         �

The Mongolians' plan is vicious. Most of these people and the people in the city are old relatives. If the defenders shoot them to protect the city, it will inevitably arouse the anger of the people in the city. Even if they do not openly cause trouble, they will try to open the city and surrender. If the defenders are concerned about family affection and show mercy, the Mongolian soldiers will take the opportunity to cover up the killing, rush into the defenders' camp, and capture the city. With this magic plan, they can be said to have captured countless cities and plundered, but they also sacrificed countless lives.

The news of the Yuan army driving the people to attack the city quickly spread to the mansion. Everyone was indignant when they heard this, but they had no choice. Zhao Bing also realized that if the matter was not handled well, it would not only affect the morale of the army, but also cause chaos in the city. Therefore, it was necessary to handle the matter immediately. So Zhao Bing immediately ordered the front of the north city to handle it on time.

"Your Majesty, it's better not to come in person!" Ying Jieyan stopped the little emperor and whispered.

"Why?" Zhao Bing asked as he walked.

"If Your Majesty makes mistakes in handling this matter, it will cause major casualties, which will inevitably cause impeachment from the court and dissatisfied the military and civilians. However, Your Majesty will be indifferent to you when you are here, and will bear the blame for the mistakes, which will be detrimental to Your Majesty's gradual takeover of government affairs!" Ying Jie sternly advised.

"Well, even though that's it, this matter is too big and no one can handle it!" Zhao Bing knew that the old man meant to send an important official, or the officials in front of the formation would handle it. If the handling was done properly, everything would be settled, and if the mistakes were made, he would become a scapegoat, and then he would come forward to clean up the mess, so that he could avoid causing trouble. However, Zhao Bing was used to taking the blame in his previous life and knew the hardships. Therefore, he could let Wen Tianxiang promote benevolent politics and "scam" the people of Quanzhou to Qiongzhou, but he could not throw this tragedy that ruined people's future or even threw the blame to anyone.

"Oh, Your Majesty, please think twice, don't lose the big picture because of the small one!" Ying Jieyan didn't know that the little emperor could not overcome this hurdle. He only felt that His Majesty was so confused. He sighed and advised again, although he knew that this was probably in vain again.

"Sir, I understand, and I know that one step is a mistake and will never be restored, so I can only bear this thunder!" Zhao Bing said.

Ying Jieyan knew that it would be useless to persuade him. He protected His Majesty and climbed to the north city with his ministers. The scene in front of him made people feel nervous. He saw thousands of people staggering forward under the drive of Yuan soldiers, and the crying was heartbreaking. Especially the women and children walking in front were unable to walk quickly, and supported each other slowly under the whip of Yuan soldiers. They all knew that moving forward was death, and retreating was also death, so they could only cry in despair and begging the Song soldiers not to shoot arrows and spare them.

The young and strong behind were tied into a string of ropes to prevent them from escaping. Their faces were full of anger, but they silently moved forward helplessly under the threat of swords and guns. Once someone showed dissatisfaction, they would be killed by the Yuan army supervising the battle on the spot. The Yuan army soldiers were even too lazy to untie the rope tied to the dead young and strong arms, and cut off their arms with a casual knife, drooping on the rope, which made people feel heart-pounding.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are clamoring and demanding to go out to fight to save the captured people!" At this time, Zhao Mengjin hurriedly climbed the city tower and reported with panting.

"Zhao Dutong, send troops to suppress the enemy, otherwise once they go to war, they will be in the tactics of the Tartars!" Zhang Shijie ordered without waiting for the emperor to speak.

"Shu Commander, the generals of each army can still abide by military discipline and do not need to send troops to suppress them. However, the central army has many Quanzhou children. How can they make a move when they see their relatives and old friends? I want them to shoot arrows!" Zhao Mengjin said anxiously.

"What do you generals do? Those who violate the order immediately kill you. This is a time of life and death. Don't be soft-hearted!" Zhang Shijie gritted his teeth and said with a ferocious face. He had been fighting the Mongolians on the front line of the Lianghuai for more than 20 years. Naturally, he knew the tricks of the Mongolians. They were using their kinship inside and outside the city to disrupt the opponent's team, so they could take the opportunity to break the city.

"Supervisor Shu, let the general lead the cavalry to rush forward, maybe he can save some people!" Zhao Mengjin has also experienced the offensive and defensive battle in Taizhou. He also knew that he was the one who was weak, but it was too cruel to face his relatives with swords and guns. He looked at Zhang Shijie and then at the little emperor, half begging.

"Tong Zhao, Your Majesty is right in front of the formation. Are you going to put Your Majesty in danger?" Zhang Shijie put his hand on the hilt of the knife and said with a dark face.

"I will obey the order!" Zhao Mengjin looked at His Majesty again, and saw him looking at the battlefield expressionlessly with his telescope, as if he had not heard their conversation. He could only bow and bow and answer the order.

"Slow down!"

"What are your instructions?" Zhao Mengjin turned around and was about to go down the city, but suddenly he was stopped by His Majesty. He turned around in surprise and asked.

"You immediately go down to the city and lead the cavalry to secretly lie at the east gate and wait for the opportunity. After receiving the signal of attack, you quickly detour to the north city, disperse the enemy soldiers supervising the battle, and cover the people across the trench!" Zhao Bing ordered.

"I am obeying the saint's order!" Zhao Mengjin, who was still very depressed just now, immediately became excited and bowed to salute.

"Your Majesty..." Zhang Shijie was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly bowed and reported.

"Sir Shu, you lead the city's navy to the west gate to pick up the people entering the city. Remember not to let them enter the city one by one. You must identify them one by one. Anyone with sharp weapons is executed immediately!" Zhao Bing knew what Zhang Shijie was going to say, and interrupted him and said.

"I obey the order!" Although Zhang Shijie didn't know what Your Majesty arranged, he still suppressed the task of taking the order when he saw his cultivation and was confident. In fact, he knew very well that it was easy to save people. If there was a slight mistake, it would cause major casualties. Not only would he not be able to save the people, but he would also have to take the lives of countless soldiers. This was a thankless thing.

"Tell Chen Fenglin that he would prepare to put down the suspension bridge and pass the people through the trench, and arrange warnings along the outer trench to lead the people out of the west gate, and be prepared to fight the enemy's attack on the defense line!" Zhao Bing ordered again that his own soldiers would go down to the city to send orders. But his eyes never left the telescope, and he was always paying attention to the team moving slowly towards the battlefield.

"Master Gao, immediately lead the five hundred guards to escort all the Mongolians and Semus detained in the city to the city. Oh, don't forget the hundred slaves!" Zhao Bing ordered Gao Yingsong again.

"I obey the order!" Although Gao Yingsong didn't know what the little emperor was going to do, the time was urgent and he didn't care about asking. He immediately went down to the city to take people with him.

"Send the order to immediately use rockets to continuously bombard the formation with 500 steps in front of the formation without interruption, so as to isolate the enemy cavalry from the people; at the same time, the two wings of the formation were allowed to continue to shoot flowering bullets, cutting off the enemy cavalry's detour to both sides." Seeing that the people driven by the Yuan army had already rushed to within 300 steps in front of the formation, Zhao Bing ordered.

"Your Majesty, this may hurt the people by accident!" Wen Tianxiang now knew that the rocket was not accurate when flying out. Now His Majesty actually used this to bombard the junction of the enemy and the people. Although the people were spared from death by swords, they could not escape the explosion of the rocket.

"Secret Wen, don't disturb Your Majesty." Ying Jie Yan Lala Wen Tianxiang stopped him, "Your Majesty ordered the bombardment five hundred steps in front of the formation, and the people have already rushed to the front of the formation. This is just to cut off the enemy reinforcements. The enemy who escaped the net will be blocked by the cavalry led by Commander Zhao to buy time for rescue."

"Can this work?" Wen Tianxiang frowned and murmured with a frown.

‘Boom, boom, boom…’ The rockets were the first to roar and plunge into the enemy’s rear team, causing a bloody storm, and the explosion made people overturn. The Mongolian army had suffered all the hardships of the rockets the day before yesterday. The Mongolian army turned around and ran backwards, the horses in front rushed forward, and from time to time looked up at the sky and guessed where the rockets would fall. Thinking that Zhao Bing, who was a Ming man, didn’t know where they would fall. They couldn’t guess thoroughly, which caused even greater chaos. You think that everyone looked up at the sky and didn’t look ahead. Isn’t it the same as not observing the car without paying attention to it? How can there be no car accidents, rear-end collisions, and scratches are all light, and the most spectacular ones are chain collisions and cracklings.

"Run!" The detained people also scared the scene at first and they all hid everywhere, but there was no place to hide in this large open space. Everyone felt that they were still lying on the ground and staying there without hesitation. But when they found that the Tartars were too busy to take care of themselves, the Song army camp opposite had already put down the suspension bridge and rushed out of a team of soldiers to the forefront. Some of the people immediately realized that they were here to save them, and got up and shouted and ran towards the city.

"Order the cavalry to attack and intercept the enemy cavalry!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and said.

"Strike!" Zhao Mengjin finally waited for the order, and roared and led a battalion of cavalry out of the east gate, rushed through the suspension bridge on the trench along the left-behind horse path and turned northwest toward the enemy.

"Run, run!" Zhao Bing clenched his fists and kept whispering. At this moment, he could be said to be anxious. On the one hand, he was worried that the people would be intercepted by the enemy cavalry before running into the safe zone; on the other hand, he was hoping that his cavalry would arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible and wipe out the enemy cavalry that had escaped the rocket attack, but he was worried about them.

Now, with the improvement of equipment of the army in the dynasty, the most precious thing is no longer the crossbow and rocket forces, but the cavalry. The Qiongzhou Army relied on more than a thousand war horses seized from Guangzhou and formed a total of three commanded cavalry, guards, central and rear troops. The reason why they are precious is that they are difficult to find war horses.

Qiongzhou mainly uses Guangxi horses imported from the city. They are smaller than Mongolian horses and are not suitable for war horses, so they can only rely on external inputs. For Mongolians, war horses are not only a symbol of wealth, but also an important strategic resource. It is definitely impossible to buy horses on a large scale from them. Besides, the south is not suitable for raising horses, so it is even more difficult to choose good horses that can be used as war horses.

In this way, it is impossible for Zhao Bing to expand his cavalry. Now the cavalry of the third battalion is mainly responsible for strategic mobile tasks and is responsible for supporting the entire island from 6 routes. Generally speaking, he is reluctant to use it. This time, only the cavalry of the central army will go with the army to fight, and the other two commanders will stay in Qiongzhou. It is precisely because of the scarcity of war horses that the cavalry has a lot of room for selection, and those who can serve as cavalry are all good players in one hundred miles. But if you are treasure, you can only use it at this critical moment, but you are really unsure of whether they can beat the Mongolian soldiers Zhao Bing.

"Your Majesty, the women and children have already crossed the trench!" Ying Jieyan saw that His Majesty seemed calm, but his fists were clenched, and his forehead was sweating. He was obviously very nervous and under great pressure. Seeing that the women and children walking in the front had already stepped onto the suspension bridge under the reception of the soldiers, he pointed at His Majesty and reported.

"Well, whether they can escape this disaster depends on themselves!" Zhao Bing nodded. There are only two or three hundred enemy soldiers intercepted by the rocket barrage in front of the formation, but there are thousands of people, including only three thousand young and strong. But now they only know how to escape and are constantly being cut down by Yuan soldiers who are trying to stop them. But they don't know that they can kill all enemy soldiers who are dozens of times more than themselves as long as they turn around and fight, so as to escape.

"Oh, it's so sad!" Ying Jieyan was also angry that he did not fight and shook his head and sighed.

"Our people are too honest. They don't know how to resist when they hold the knife around their necks!" Zhao Bing said in anger.

"Yes, just as Your Majesty said back then, the country does not know that there is a people, and the people does not know that there is a country!" Ying Jieyan also sighed.

"This is my responsibility and the court's responsibility. We must let the people understand the truth that 'Only with a country can you have a family, and if there is a family can you have a country', and to turn the resistance to the Yuan Dynasty into self-consciousness, and only by self-restoring the country can you have hope!" Zhao Bing pondered for a moment, thinking in his heart how wise and correct Grandpa Mao moved the masses and the national strategy of resisting the war of resistance.

"Your Majesty, Zhao Duke has taken over the enemy!" Ying Jieyan nodded and pointed to the battlefield. At this moment, the Song army was united in hatred of the enemy and held in a strong force to kill the generals. The enemy's retreat was cut off and was blown away. He wanted to hold on with these people as shields for a while, but now the Song army in the brigade was in chaos. He did not dare to fight and hid in the crowd, intending to escape the disaster.

"The people have also begun to help in the war!" Zhao Bing said in surprise. Perhaps it was the courage that had been suppressed for a long time at the critical moment of life and death, or perhaps it was the arrival of the official army that gave the people courage. They attacked the enemy soldiers who broke into the crowd. Although they only had sticks and bamboo guns in their hands, they were more than enough to deal with the lonely enemy soldiers. They pulled the enemy soldiers off the horse, and before they could struggle, they smashed them to death.
