Chapter 507

After hearing Sun Desheng's return, Pu Shougen lost his temper immediately. He knew that the backhand he had left was already seen by the other party, and unless he could hold on until reinforcements entered the city, he would have to lose both his people and wealth. Now he saw through it. Suodu had been in the west bank of Jinjiang for three days and was still wandering on the west bank of Jinjiang. He could not cross the river. But the Song army in front of him could no longer wait, but Pu Shougen did not have the confidence to guard the residential courtyard. With the choice of life and money, he could only sacrifice his money to save his life.

"Governor Pu is willing to agree to all the conditions of Your Highness. Please suspend the attack, suspend the attack, suspend..." Tian Zhenzi finally waited until Pu Shougeng spat and agreed to the conditions. He hurried out of the hall and went up to the wall of the village, shaking the flag and shouting. After shouting twice, a string of crossbow arrows shot towards him. When his chest passed through, his shouting stopped abruptly, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and he fell from the wall of the village, and immediately extinguished. He might only realize at the moment of dying that Pu Shougeng said it was right. The little emperor wanted money and death, so he would not let them go.

"Go up the city, retreat and slap!" As soon as Tian Zhenzi died, the left-wing army guarding the village wall was in chaos, and the soldiers jumped off the village wall. Xia Jing arrived and waved his sword and roared, driving the soldiers who were about to go down the city back. Then he ordered the archers to shoot, organized people to use swords to block the gap in the courtyard wall that was bombarded by the crossbows, and used stones and sandbags to block the open door of the mansion.

"Oh, you are so naive!" The situation slowed down a little, and Xia Jing asked someone to drag Tian Zhenzi's body over, but seeing his face covered in blood and his eyes wide open, he seemed very unwilling to accept it. He sighed and closed his eyes, stood up and shouted loudly, "Listen to all the generals of the army, we have already formed a mortal hatred with the Zhao Guan family, and he will definitely not let us go. Only by fighting to the death can we have a chance!"

"Fight to the death, fight to the death..." The left-wing army participated in the massacre of the soldiers in the city. Of course, they knew how serious the crime they committed. Tian Zhenko had an example here, and responded in unison, and his morale was actually boosted. Xia Jing readjusted the deployment and ordered the big trees in the yard to be cut down, several houses were demolished, and a barricade was reorganized twenty steps behind the main entrance, and some tables, chairs, benches were collected from various places, and wooden cabinets filled the loopholes.

Sun Desheng, who arrived, watched and sucked the cold air. These trees were all alien species of vassal countries. They were carried from a large ship and cultivated for many years before they grew to what they are today. And those furniture that were piled up like rotten firewood were of great value, and they could be placed outside to the full range of ordinary people's belongings. He was heartbroken, but he didn't say anything. Now he was almost gone for life. Who cares about how much these things are worth? The most important thing is to be alive at this moment.

Fifty steps behind the mansion is the front hall on the second floor, which is built on a high platform. It can be seen in front of the stairs. In the past, this was the place where deacons in the mansion discussed the matter. There were some gold, silver, money and money stored on the second floor to meet daily needs, and idle people could not go up. But at this moment, it became Xia Jing's command post. He arranged archers in front of each window, and shot the Song army who rushed to the front of the door from a high place. Even if the Song army rushed in, he could defend accordingly and block the enemy. He also arranged ambush behind the building. Once the barricade was lost, the corridor leading to the back could still be blocked, and the Song army could still rush into the mansion.

Looking back, there is a small square in the open space between the front hall and the middle hall, where one thousand private troops in the mansion were defended by Sun Desheng. These people were young and strong recruited from various places, as well as heroes from the world who were recruited heavily, as well as slaves bought from foreign countries, including black, white, and golden and blue eyes. Among them, there were many desperate people who were brave, powerful, and fearless. On weekdays, they were kept in the mansion with delicious food and drink, and were given high salaries, hoping that they could sacrifice their lives to protect each other at critical moments, and their combat effectiveness was no less than that of the imperial army.

At this moment, there was a group of elite cavalry gathered in the small square. They were the Mongolian explorer led by Baijianu. Although they were damaged in the battle in the north city, there were still five or six hundred people. Suodu was a powerful Mongolian general, fighting from Jiangbei to Jiangnan, with rare defeats. The tiger father had no dog son. Baijianu followed his father to fight since he was a child. In a few years, he had been through hundreds of big and small battles, leading troops to attack Zhangzhou and killing thousands. The explorer even left the troops to guard the city with the army that captured the city. It gathered the essence of the army and its combat power was the best among the Quanzhou army. With them in the back to press the formation, Xia Jing was also much more at ease.

Look at the Song army outside the wall, which surrounded the yard, but except for the main gate, they all blocked the surrounding bridges, street intersections and alleys, and did not arrange formations. This made Xia Jing feel much more at ease. At least he could use his main force for frontal defense without having to divide his troops to guard it, which wasted his strength. Although the Song army on the frontal lined up outside one arrow, it was difficult to deploy a brigade due to the terrain, and only about 2,000 people. If it weren't for their fierce crossbows, it would be difficult to shake the defense line of the Pu Mansion.

However, Xia Jing still did not dare to take it lightly. He knew that the Song army had "Meteor Fire". If the little emperor could not attack for a long time, he was angry and attacked with Meteor Fire, the entire mansion would be burned. The crossbow could not be ignored. On that day, the city towers and city defense facilities in the south and north of the city were destroyed by crossbows, which forced them to abandon the city wall and the city city. Now they opened more than ten crossbows in the front row of the mansion and fired several volleys, and the iron door that was half a foot behind was smashed to pieces. The courtyard wall broke out into a gap. The entire Que Tower in front of him collapsed, and there were as many injured soldiers. The people on the wall could not raise their heads at all.

"Now I can only rely on the left prime minister!" Although the situation is worry-free, if the Song army takes turns to attack, Xia Jing knew that relying solely on the strength of the mansion alone would not be able to last until this time tomorrow. If he wanted to rescue the siege, he had to rely on reinforcements outside the city. But now several piles of wolf smoke have been lit in the mansion, but there is still no sign of moving troops outside, which makes him feel very frustrated and helpless.

"The commander-in-chief, Qianhu is going to lead troops to fight, and we will withdraw the barricade, and please make a decision!" After the Song army shot Tian Zhenzi, the crossbows were shot slowly. As soon as Xia Jing sat down and breathed a sigh of relief, a general came up to report.

"Wouldn't he be seeking death when he goes to fight?" Xia Jing was shocked when he heard this. The narrow battlefield was not conducive to the attack of the Song army, but it was also not conducive to cavalry conflict. If a hundred slaves were to go out of the mansion to fight, they could not even raise the horse. How could they exert the power of the cavalry? I am afraid that they would become the target of the Song army.

"The chief minister, but he said that as long as he could attack the city, he could capture the pseudo emperor of the Southern Dynasty. His army would collapse without fighting, and the crisis would be resolved!" The general said helplessly with his hands spread out.
