Chapter 1031 Protecting My Han Family

The Mongols' actions completely aroused public outrage.

The problem is, as earth fortresses are gradually taking shape, a difficult problem facing the Lin'an defenders is, "Should we prevent the enemy from building earth fortresses?"

If we really had to wait for the earth fortress to be built, the Mongol army could use it as a springboard, and Lin'an City might suffer.

For this matter, the Military Aircraft Department held an emergency meeting.

Lu Xiufu, who presided over the daily affairs of the Military Aircraft Department, took the lead in speaking: "Everyone express their views. In principle, the minority obeys the majority. As the only civilian official of the Military Aircraft Department, I will not express my opinions."

This old slicker abstained as soon as he came up and left the problem to others.

"Of course they shouldn't be killed, they are our compatriots." Wen Tianxiang's attitude was clear.

Seeing Zhang Shijie, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. He, the chief general, hadn't expressed his opinion yet, but Wen Tianxiang, as the deputy general, had expressed his position first. Where should he be placed?

Originally, Zhang Shijie was still a little hesitant, but now he made up his mind completely, and said with emotion: "I think we should kill. The lives of millions of people in the city are not life?"

What Zhang Shijie said is not unreasonable. In troubled times, there is no such thing as benevolence and righteousness. Oftentimes, a trade-off must be made. This is cruel, but it is reality.

Wen Tianxiang was dissatisfied.

Zhang Shijie didn't care either, he had his own reasons.

"I also think it will be killed."

Xiongba then stated that as a hero, being soft-hearted and soft-hearted has nothing to do with Xiongba, not to mention that this is a battle map, the player's goal is to win, so what does the death of an NPC have to do with him.

The supporters had the upper hand, two to one.

Lian Po saw him and said, "I abstain."

Emotionally speaking, Lian Po didn't want to increase the number of killings in vain, and the shadow of killing prisoners in vain in the Battle of Changping still hovered in Lian Po's heart; but as a general, Lian Po thought he wanted to kill.

Under the contradiction, can only abstain.

Seeing him, Xiong Ba also glanced at Lian Po. Logically speaking, as a general of the [Yanhuang League] faction, Lian Po should follow the rhythm of his lord.

Fortunately, Lian Po's abstention has nothing to do with the overall situation. From Xiongba's point of view, Ouyang Shuo is a hero like him, so naturally he will not be kind to women, and Guo Ziyi will definitely follow Ouyang Shuo.

In this way, the supporters still have the upper hand.

All eyes were on Ouyang Shuo.

Ouyang Shuo remained calm, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, and said lightly, "I object!"

Everyone was shocked.

"Reason?" Xiongba asked.

From Xiong Ba's point of view, Ouyang Shuo is definitely not an emotional person, otherwise he would not be able to get to where he is today.

"Come down and talk."

Ouyang Shuo naturally has his reasons for doing so, but it's not appropriate to say it clearly at the meeting.

Lu Xiufu took a deep look at Ouyang Shuo, and concluded, "Three votes against, two votes in favor, and two abstentions. If that's the case, let's think of another way."

The decision of the Military Aircraft Department is naturally the final decision.

…………

After the meeting ended, Xiong Ba caught up with Ouyang Shuo.

Without waiting for Xiong Ba to ask, Ouyang Shuo said first, "I think not only you, but also other people have this doubt, so let's call everyone together and talk about it together."

Xiong Ba was puzzled, "You are so confident that you can convince Di Chen and the others?"

Ouyang Shuo smiled without saying a word.

Seeing Xiongba, he shook his head and left.

…………

Lin'an, North Tower.

Ouyang Shuo, Xiongba and other six lords gathered together.

Xiongba looked at Ouyang Shuo with probing eyes. Before coming, there was a short meeting in [Yanhuang League], and the atmosphere was not very good.

Especially Mr. Chunshen, who spoke mercilessly: "What is the old fox doing, buying people's hearts, or selling his kindness with our victory?! Daxia has wiped out four countries on the main plane, killed Yingye, and now But he pretended he couldn't bear it, and he really set up a memorial archway as a mounting child!"

The faces of Di Chen and the others were also very ugly.

On the tower, Ouyang Shuo didn't seem to feel the glaring gazes coming from behind him. Looking at the yurts outside the city, he said leisurely, "What do you think Gaia's purpose is for arranging such a battle?"

"Then what else is there, the battle, isn't it just a war to collect merit points."

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "I don't think so. Maybe the previous battles had this purpose, but it's definitely not the current battle. To put it bluntly, the merits gained in the first battle of Annan alone in Daxia are worth ten battles. A single battle is not worth Daxia's investment of 100,000 troops."

"..."

Dichen and the others were speechless. Knowing that you are powerful in Daxia, there is no need to show off like this. "What nonsense are you talking about! It's very hurtful."

"Then tell me, what purpose does Gaia have?" Xiongba asked.

"No matter what you think, in my opinion, this battle is actually to make up for a regret. My Han family must not fall into the hands of foreigners. Although it is a bit self-deceiving, it is also a rare experience."

"Heh, the feelings are quite rich." Chun Shenjun said teasingly.

The others didn't say anything, Qiqi looked out of the city, at the purgatory-like scene.

The Mongols' extraction of corpse oil never stopped, and there were endless screams from morning till night. The refined corpse oil was smeared on the city walls by the Han people.

Like other city walls, the Lin'an City Wall uses wood as the frame and glutinous rice juice as the binder. After being smeared with corpse oil, it is easy to burn.

Basically, after a few days, the city walls and gates will be burned or burned.

This is the secret of the Mongolian army's siege. Although they are cavalry, they can attack the city in the Central Plains, and the main force has almost no damage.

Its secret lies in this destructive method of siege.

"Ouyang, I support you!"

Looking at the tragic situation outside the city, Feng Prisonhuang's face was still pale, and finally he stopped vomiting. Maybe I vomited everything I could, leaving only hatred and grief.

"If we shoot and kill the people outside the city, what's the difference with those beasts?"

Feng Prison Huang speaks righteously.

Xiongba and the others were silent, and the war wolf who was born in the army couldn't help but said first: "Well said. Maybe this battle is a test for us by Gaia, to see if we won against our conscience, or whether we won it without You can still win the battle while hurting your fellow man."

"Easy to say!" Jun Shen muttered, he was the last one to give up.

Mr. Chunshen, who was born as a businessman, only sees victory and defeat, not benevolence and righteousness.

Ouyang Shuo turned around suddenly, looked at Di Chen, and asked lightly, "What do you think?" He wanted to know what choice Di Chen would make at such a time.

Di Chen felt heart palpitations for no reason, was taken aback for a moment, and then said with difficulty: "This is the point, then do as you say, but remember, you owe us a favor."

"it is good!"

Ouyang Shuo took a deep look at Di Chen and turned around again.

A few years later, Di Chen suddenly remembered this seemingly ordinary conversation today, and his heart broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did Dichen wake up, this conversation directly decided his fate.

*************

The top and bottom of Lin'an City reached an agreement that they would never compromise with the Mongolian army. The problem before them is how to crack this siege tactic of the Mongolian army?

The first thing to do is to clear the boiler outside the city.

If it is said that recruiting common people to build earthen fortresses is still within the scope of the war, then the use of common people to refine corpse oil is absolutely intolerable and must be stopped.

The method of the Military Aircraft Department is very simple: "Forcibly demolish!"

First, use the trebuchets or three-bow and eight-ox bed crossbows arranged at the top of the city to destroy the boilers.

This cavalry is a bit like a death squad.

If you can go back, you will go back, if you can't go back to the city, you will die in battle outside the city.

The earthen fortress hadn't been completed yet, and Ouyang Shuo and others absolutely believed that the Mongolian army would launch a general attack at this time. If you really want to attack the city, the army ambushing near the gate will show the Mongolian army what it means to be powerful.

It's all going great.

In just one day, hundreds of boilers outside the city were cleaned up. For this reason, the defenders on all sides paid a total price of 3,000 fine horsemen.

The Mongolian cavalry is not a good stubble either, each of them is proficient in bow and horse. Since the cavalry of the Southern Song Dynasty dared to go out of the city to cause damage, they could make these small troops come and go.

Throughout the day, there were fights between small groups of cavalry everywhere outside the city.

Although it was a small-scale confrontation, the victories of the various armies were judged. The weakest is naturally the Imperial Army of the Southern Song Dynasty, who was completely at a disadvantage in the duel with the Mongolian cavalry.

A two-on-one in a small area may fail.

The strongest is naturally the Daxia Jingqi. Facing the fierce Mongolian iron cavalry, the Daxia Jingqi does not lose the wind in the slightest, and even wins by being strong.

The north side is also the only side where the cavalry retreated smoothly into the city.

The Great Xia Jingqi only paid 300 casualties, cleared all the boilers in the north, and even slaughtered more than 200 Mongolian Jingqi, with great results.

Watching the Great Xia Jingqi retreat, the Mongolian iron cavalry did not dare to pursue.

For the Mongolian army, such a scene is definitely the first time in the world.

Together with Lu Xiufu, Ouyang Shuo publicized this matter in the city, further confirming the saying of "heavenly soldiers and generals". Just imagine, if it weren't for the heavenly soldiers and generals, how could they defeat the invincible Mongolian cavalry? !

In this way, the hearts of the people are gradually at ease.

…………

In the evening, the Mongolian military camp in the north.

The Mongolian General Uncle Ma stopped on a high mountain and looked at the defenders in the north with a dignified expression, "I didn't expect the alien army on the opposite side to be so powerful. Where did it come from?"

No one can answer Boyan.

Zhang Hongfan followed Boyan on horseback, a complex meaning flashed in his eyes, and he thought in his heart, "If the army of the Southern Song Dynasty can have such strength, how can it be reduced to this point?!"

As night fell and a gust of cold wind blew, Boyan unknowingly gathered the mink coat that was draped over his body, took a last look at Lin'an City that had been submerged in the night, and said coldly: "Go back! Send an order to the former army to start tomorrow." , speed up the progress of building the earth fortress, and formally attack the city soon."

Boyan faintly felt that this siege battle was not as easy as imagined, so the enemy army could not be given too much breathing room, and the city must be attacked as soon as possible.

His Majesty the emperor in the rear was already a little impatient, and if he didn't act again, he might be in trouble.

"promise!"

Zhang Hongfan nodded in response, but nothing unusual could be heard in his voice.
