Chapter 516
Pu Shougeng was also aware of his life and wanted to save the wealth of the Pu family with his own death, but he still believed that even if the Song army could capture Quanzhou, it would be difficult to change the end of the country's destruction. The world was still the world of the Mongols. Biqu Ω 『 『 W.

CN Therefore, he knew that he had no way out and had no choice but to use his own death to exchange for the kindness of the Yuan court to the Pu family, so that he could make a comeback.
After explaining the funeral and seeing off the family, Pu Shougeng returned to the temple of worship and mobilized the remaining troops in the mansion around to prepare for the final resistance. At this moment, the Song army had cleaned up the outer mansion and completely controlled the east and west routes, and began to gather in the inner mansion. They first exploded the wall from the back garden to open the breakthrough, and gradually advanced to the center.
The inner palace was densely packed with pavilions and ponds. At this time, the crossbows were no longer used, and the large troops were unable to spread, so they could only sweep the houses and compete. The defenders of the inner palace were the slaves raised by the Pu family. Most of them were children born in the Pu family and lived in the Pu family for generations. They had already formed a body of interest, so the resistance was the most tenacious, which broke out the most fierce battle after the siege.
"Zhao Dutong, Tian is about to get dark. His Majesty said that if the central army fails, he will transfer the guards to solve the battle!" Zhang Shijie came to the command post of the central army in the back hall, and said without hesitation as soon as he came in.
"Don't worry, Sir Shu, we have now captured the garden of the inner palace, controlled the granaries, seized the backyard, and are attacking the intermediate courtyard!" Zhao Mengjin quickly reported after hearing this.
"It took only half a day to capture the city, but this yard has not been taken down for a day. How did this battle be fought!" Zhang Shijie said with a cold face, obviously not satisfied with the attack level of the central army. "Now the Suodu army has arrived in the north of the city and launched several attacks. Although they have been repelled, the enemy's other reinforcements will arrive tomorrow, and the offensive will be even more fierce. At that time, the central army will serve as a reserve force, and reinforce the front and rear armies at any time, but the war here has not been decided, so how can you take on the heavy responsibility?"
"Sir Shu, the roads in this inner courtyard are complicated and well-connected. After attacking, it feels like entering a maze, but the enemy soldiers are very familiar with them. Often, they have just been cleaned up, but in a blink of an eye, the enemy soldiers emerge from nowhere. They attack us from behind and can only repeatedly clear us, so the progress is slow!" Zhao Mengjin explained.
"Well, what are your casualties?" Zhang Shijie looked at the battlefield and knew that it was right. He also knew that street fighting was the most difficult and cruel, and asked with a slow expression.
"To be honest, the enemy soldiers here are very tenacious in resisting each other, and they are really unstoppable. Although we are numerous, it is difficult to carry out, so we can only fight to the death, with more than 400 casualties. Huangfu Camp, who was the main attacker, was seriously injured and refused to retreat. The deputy general was temporarily replaced. Two of the five heads of the heads of the five heads were killed. The team leader and the team leader were almost replaced. Now Deputy Chief Chen is supervising the battle in front!" Zhao Mengjin said with a sad face.
"Then why don't you withdraw and rest?" Zhang Shijie said in surprise. According to his experience in commanding the army, if a unit has 10% casualties and its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and it will not be the main attacker; if 20% casualties will have to be withdrawn and rest, and it will not be able to fight again; if 30% casualties will basically be defeated; if grassroots officers are too injured, the general of the army will soon lose their combat effectiveness. He knew that Zhao Mengjin was also from a military corps and served as the commander of the First Mansion Army, how could he not understand these things?
"The commanders who went up were all red-eyed and could not withdraw. They all said that Quanzhou was the fiefdom of His Majesty, and they were deeply grateful to the emperor. They would never withdraw troops unless they were taken down the Pu Mansion!" Zhao Mengjin said helplessly.
"Your Majesty is such a handsome man. He has the skills to command the army at a young age!" Zhang Shijie had to praise him.
"The central army was built by Your Majesty. He regards himself as his personal army. He obeys all the orders of Your Majesty. He will be a model for each army and cannot let His Majesty lose his face." Zhao Mengjin said solemnly.
"Well, it's not possible to continue like this now. Not only will the progress be too slow, the casualties are too great, and the tactics must be changed!" Zhang Shijie nodded and said in his heart. With this personal guard in his heart, no one in the court can shake His Majesty's position.
"Shishou also asks for advice!" Zhao Mengjin didn't care about Zhang Shijie's intervention in command. His Majesty said it well. No matter who said it right, let's listen, no matter whether he is a peddler or a beggar monk, let alone he is a soldier and has rich combat experience.
"We have the advantage of our troops. Each army can take turns to attack and maintain combat effectiveness. If you occupy one place, you will leave one place to consolidate it to prevent the enemy from leaving and returning. In addition, you must use archers to occupy the commanding heights and control various intersections. You can not only intercept and kill the fleeing enemy troops, but also prevent the enemy from secretly attacking from the side and behind. The army will advance together and gradually shrink the encirclement, drive the enemy to one place, gather and annihilate it!" Zhang Shijie said with a picture and explanation on the table.
"Super Shu said something, and the last thing he could understand was suddenly enlightened. I immediately adjusted my deployment and attacked again. I decided to capture and kill the Pu thief before dark!" Zhao Mengjin said after hearing this. Then he summoned the commanders in the army to arrange tasks and reorganize the attack...
Pu Shougeng was also cruel. He summoned all the male men in the mansion to put out weapons and armor, and then carried out the gold and silver in the silver treasury for the soldiers to take it themselves. He wanted to use this to motivate the soldiers to make the final stubborn resistance. He did achieve good results at the beginning, and even fought several counterattacks to block the Song army from the periphery of the Temple of Liberty. However, under the strong attack of the Song army, he gradually lost his momentum and retreated into the temple step by step. After the inspection, there were less than 300 servants in the mansion.
"Take these gold and silver down, and wait for the enemy soldiers to pick them up and fight for them, you will shoot them to death. Now the left prime minister has attacked the North City. As long as we persist until dark, we can break out under the support of the left prime minister!" Tian Zhenzi was shot and killed by arrows, Xia Jing died, Sun Desheng surrendered, and Pu Shougeng ordered Lin Chunzi to command the troops to make the final resistance. He was awarded the position of Daluhuachi for his contribution to aiding Quanzhou City, and supervising Quanzhou military affairs, with a level of equivalent to a thousand households. At the moment, there were killing sounds in the north of the city, and he used this to incite the remaining troops to make the final resistance.
