Chapter 78
The city breaks
Zhang Shen was panicked when he learned that the Song army dug the capital outside the city and flooded the Guangdu walls.
At this moment, Zhang Shen knew that Guang could not hold on.
Zhang Shen walked towards the county government with his worries.
Along the way, Zhang Shen found that everyone in the city was in chaos.
Now is not the time to care about these people, Zhang Shen quickly walked towards the county government.
...
Zhang Shen came to the door of the hall and heard someone quarrel in the room.
The one with the biggest voice is his father Zhang Rui.
What's going on?
Half an hour ago, a soldier told them that the flood flooded Guangdu.
Zhang Rui and others were shocked.
Korean style is going to eat them in one bite.
In order to survive, Zhang Rui suggested that the Song army should take the people away as soon as the Song army had not started to attack the city.
As soon as Zhang Rui finished speaking, Chen Guang directly rejected it.
He also told Zhang Rui that since the Song army decided to attack with water, they would definitely be on guard against us for breaking through.
Once the city is out of the city, the coalition forces are the lambs to be slaughtered.
Neither of them said they were convinced of each other, so they started arguing in front of everyone.
It was not over until Zhang Shen arrived.
"Dad, Uncle Chen, stop arguing. The most important thing now is to guard against the Song army outside the city."
Zhang Shen entered the room and stopped the two of them from arguing.
As soon as they saw Zhang Shen, they stopped arguing. Chen Guang took the lead and asked: "Big Nephew, come and persuade your father to give up this idea."
Chen Guang sat on the chair, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, moistening his thirsty throat.
Zhang Shen nodded, walked to Zhang Rui, regardless of his agreement, and pulled his hand out of the door.
Chen Guang saw it all and secretly guessed in his heart whether the father and son had taken people away like last time.
However, this time Chen Guang thought too much. This time, Zhang Shen not only did not persuade Zhang Rui to run away, but also asked him to defend Guangdu.
If you want Zhang Rui to stay, it depends on whether Zhang Shen can convince him.
Outside the house, Zhang Rui broke free from Zhang Shen's hand and looked at him dissatisfiedly.
"Dad, you heard from my son that this city is our only hope now. Once we leave, we will fall into the Song army's Shixingfu.
Also, think about your two wives in Zhuti County and the children in their belly.”
If you want to persuade Zhang Rui, you can only use them to persuade him, and nothing else can do.
When talking about them, Zhang Rui hesitated. The reason why he had to rush out at risk was for the sake of two girls.
Zhang Rui is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of two girls after death. What should he do in the future?
After struggling for a while, Zhang Rui finally gave up the idea of adventure: "Boss, you are right. For the sake of two girls, I can't take this risk."
Seeing him listening to his advice, Zhang Shen breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was curious about his two beautiful wives.
Why did Zhang Rui, who has always been arbitrary, compromise when he heard their news?
These are the later stories. The most important thing now is to appease the morale of the army, treat the wounded, strengthen the city walls, etc.
...
It has been ten days since the flood flooded the city. Although the city walls were reinforced in time, problems still occurred.
The northwest corner of the city made a big bubble collapse, breaking a hole for only one carriage to pass.
This is not the point. If the hole is broken, you can make up for it.
What is important is that the flood flooded the city and drowned 50,000 or 60,000 people.
The only remaining food and grass was washed away by the flood, and diseases were spread throughout the army.
Every day, people die of illness and starvation, and the coalition forces are now in panic.
Dong! Dongdong! Dongdong!
The Song army outside the city beat the war drums, and the sound of the drums spread throughout every corner of the battlefield.
The Song army, who had been besieging Guangdu for ten days, finally showed a fierce look and took Guangdu into one go.
West of the city, where the Song army was responsible for its achievements.
The main general was wearing heavy iron armor and stared at the city wall that he could not capture for a long time.
At this time, the Korean style ordered in his hoarse voice: "Come to the city wall first, reward ten thousand taels of silver, and be promoted to the third level!"
The messengers rode their horses and loudly conveyed Korean military orders in various military formations.
With such a heavy reward, every Song Bing stared at the city wall, trying to win this great achievement.
"Siege!"
The main general issued an order to attack, and the Song Bing pressed forward step by step according to the attacking military formations trained by daily.
Zhang Zhong on the city wall looked at the energetic Song Bing outside the city, and then looked at the allied soldiers who were hungry on his side.
For a moment, Zhang Zhong doubted whether he could defend the Song army's offensive.
After thinking about it over and over again, Zhang Zhong decided not to defend it, but he could not hold on anyway.
Zhang Zhong asked the deputy general to defend the city instead of him, but he went down the steps to find Zhang Rui.
The deputy general knew that he would never return. In order to survive, he ordered the soldiers who could still move to open the city gate and surrender to the Song army.
The painted red city gate opened from the inside, and the deputy general and his men walked out of the city one after another, kneeling in front of the Song army formation and surrendering.
The Song army camp caused riots, and they did not believe that the rebels would surrender.
"quiet!"
A general shouted loudly to his panicked subordinates.
Then I sent someone to test them what was going on?
One of them walked up carefully, and before he could ask.
The deputy general raised his head and said first: "We have surrendered."
The man was stunned and confirmed again: "You want to surrender to us?"
"That's right, I hope you agree." The deputy general lowered his head and begged.
"Subdued, the rebels surrendered to us!"
The man turned around and ran to his own military formation and shouted loudly.
The sound spread to everyone's ears in the army, and everyone was very excited.
The general called the man to make sure they had surrendered, and his hands were closed together with excitement.
The general calmed himself down and sent a small number of people to the city to test first.
Ten thousand people are in a blast, at least some more insurance.
Another point is to send people to occupy the city gates and walls.
A small number of Song troops entered the city gate and quickly climbed the steps to find out whether the thieves were ambushing the troops on the city wall.
Half an hour later, a person came out of the city gate and told General Song that the rebels did not say anything.
Be sure they had really surrendered, the general hurriedly sent someone to take over the city wall.
From this moment, the city wall that they had attacked for more than a month was finally broken.
The manpower and material resources consumed in this are astronomical figures.
