The setting sun shines on the blood-washed city.

A group of Song sergeants cleared the remains of the enemy and us on the city and under the city, washed the bloodstains of the city wall with buckets of water, and washed them over and over with pig bristles. However, no matter how hard they tried, there were still faint blood marks on the city bricks and they could not be erased.

Stepping on the ground with wet pale blood, Wen Tianxiang, the right prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Chen Yizhong, the left prime minister of the government affairs officer Zeng Yuanzi, the Minister of Revenue Yang Liangjie, etc., all wore red robes, jade belts surrounded by the waist, and cicada-winged gauze crowns. They climbed the steps and climbed the city under the escort of more than ten personal guards.

When he was about to reach the top of the city, Zhang Shijie, wearing armor and a large scarlet mansion, led Huang Tiancong and a group of guards to greet him.

The generals met and bowed to each other.

Looking at Huang Tiancong's bandaged arms and the marks of swords, guns and arrows on the armor of the guards, Wen Tianxiang sighed: "The Tartars are fierce and violent, and the invasion of the city is very urgent. Zhang Shuai, Huang Yuhou, and the soldiers have worked hard. Now the bandits are leading their troops there, and they will come back soon. I hope you will take care of them."

Chen Yizhong took two steps forward, stroked Huang Tiancong's wounded arm and asked, "Junhao (Huang Tiancong's character), how is the injury on his arm?"

Huang Tiancong raised his beard and raised his arms without caring: "I have nothing to do, I was chopped up, but fortunately my arm armor was blocked, and it was just a wound to my skin."

Zeng Yuanzi praised: "If I have such a loyal and brave soldier in the Song Dynasty, I will definitely destroy the enemy's attack at the city."

Zhang Shijie said in a deep voice: "Shijie uses the Qiao Tower as the tent of the central army. He will never go downstairs until the enemy retreats. He vows to live and die with the Yacheng!"

Yang Liangjie was amazed: "With Zhang Shuai's words, the Empress Dowager can rest assured."

Wen Tianxiang and others looked at the bloody stains under the city and the wounds caused by the siege equipment. They were moved and couldn't help but be glad that the city was strong and had complete defense facilities. If it were a city like the Wan'an Army, or even the land encirclement of the Changhua Army, they would have been captured by the Yuan Army long ago.

Thinking of Wan'an's army, I couldn't help but think of Zhao Lie. If he hadn't advocated moving south, he would have been drifting on the sea. It is reported that there were 8,000 Yuan troops besieging the Wan'an army, and the leader was the son of Ali Hague. The powerful general of the Yuan army suddenly lost the Hague. I don't know if the Dragon Que Army, with weak troops, could withstand it.

...

On the fifth day of November, after only one day of rest, the Yuan army launched another attack.

This time, the Yuan army had more troops than before. In addition to the banner of the Central Army, the Sulu Ding Banner in Ali Hague also appeared.

Suluding means "spear" in Mongolian, and its appearance is a spear. The special thing is that the part of the base of the spear body forms a disc, with dozens of perforations around the plate, tied with horse mane as hanging tassels. If Suluding is a prince and priest of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, there will be sixty-four to eighty-one holes. This object with strong grassland characteristics is a symbol of Mongolia and a symbol of the god of war. Only princes, important officials, commanders, and Mongolians are qualified to hold it.

Ali Hague made many military achievements and was a major minister in the province. He also called for the prime minister to enter the court, so he was given the gift of this flag, but the height of the flagpole was three feet shorter than that of the Prince of the Yuan Dynasty and only one and three feet.

Suluding has two colors: black and white, called "Halasuluding" and "Chagansuluding", which means "black" and "white". Black symbolizes war and strength, and white symbolizes peace and authority. Today, Ali Hague is celebrating Chagansuluding - peace and authority.

The commander of the Yuan army, Ali Hague, personally supervised the battle. Wen Tianxiang also came to the South Gate Tower and joined Zhang Shijie in the fight. These two Song generals and ministers were old opponents of the Yuan army, and they knew the meaning of the Mongol Yuan Sulu Ding. At this time, looking at the enemy's central army raised high, Chagan Sulu Ding, and sneered together - Peace?! It's time, what peace can be said? I'm afraid it's true that I want us to surrender.

Looking from the city, the Yuan army's formation was much thicker than the day before. The flags were like clouds, spears, cards were like heavy walls, and soldiers and horses were layer by layer, densely arranged from the foot of the slope to the top of the slope, and then spread from the top of the slope to the back of the slope. The nearby hillside was filled with the fear that there would not be tens of thousands of people. Ali Hague and the Central Army, who were dehumidified, sat on the top of the highest slope.

The terrain around the Yacheng is undulating, with many mountains and forests, and it is difficult to spread the troops and horses. Ten thousand people are the limit. This is beneficial to the defenders, but it is often said that the Taoist has exceeded 10,000, and it is boundless. Seeing the prosperous Yuan army under the city, the Song army guarding the city will inevitably change color and feel uneasy.

Then three cavalrymen sprinted down from the top of the slope, marching through the army formations, rolling up a piece of smoke and dust.

The three riders stopped a hundred steps ahead of the moat. The knight holding a flag in the middle said loudly: "The Marshal shows Prime Minister Wen, Zhumi Zhang. Song has no king, and his energy has been exhausted. You are all outstanding people of the world. Why do you have to fight a trapped beast for a woman? You must know that the sea and sky are vast and the lonely city is difficult to hold on to the dead. Be sure to defend a dead end and submit to the peace of the world. Now I am here to follow the siege of the Gansulu. You should know my intentions and do not let the flag of peace fall from my hands."

Wen Tianxiang angrily hit the railing: "Peace? In the second year of Deyou, I was ordered by the emperor to go to the Yuan camp. Who refused my sincerity in peace in the Song Dynasty? I detained my Tartar camp and captured my dynasty capital? I captured my king? I ruined my Chinese creatures? You and Hu were the ones who led the beasts to eat people and poisoned the world. What kind of face did you say about peace!"

The flag-holding knight said in a singular manner: "In this way, did the Prime Minister reject the marshal's sincerity in peace and choice to fight?"

Seeing the Seome Knight chattering at the city, Zhang Shijie reached out to his personal guards: "Get my bow."

The personal guard quickly presented Zhang Shijie's two-stone five-dou step bow and carved feather quiver.

Zhang Shijie took the bow and arrow in his hand, and with his arms drawn, the bow string squeaked, and the bow opened like a full moon, suddenly loosened, and the arrow disappeared like a meteor.

The Knight holding the flag-colored eyes has experienced many battles, and has excellent experience and reactions in the battle. When he heard the string sound, he immediately fell into the saddle, but he could not care about the people but the flag - the arrows fell when the flag fell.

The Song army defending the city exclaimed a huge cheer, and the morale was high.

Ali Hague saw it from afar and snorted coldly: "Film."

Although Zhang Shijie's arrow was outstanding, he had insufficient strength to shoot an arrow with a hundred steps, even if he had accurate heads, he could not pierce the armor even if he shot it. He would not be injured at all. It was a shame.

On the ridge tower, Wen Tianxiang's clear and friendly voice came clearly: "You guys, although the Yuan barbarians are numerous, they are strong outside and the middle. The previous attacks of the city are repeatedly defeated. What's more, I have two cities to rely on, and the enemy will defeat them if they attack them!"

Second City? Isn’t there only one cliff city?

The soldiers of the Song army guarding the city looked at each other, and finally a bold person asked loudly: "Prime Minister, where did the two cities come from?"

Wen Tianxiang paused one word and one: "There is a strong city under your feet, which is one; the Song Dynasty is united and united as a city, which is two. With these two cities, no matter how strong the world is, it is also broken here, let alone the eyes of the Hu'er!"

So this is the second city!

Huang Tiancong took the opportunity to draw his sword and shouted: "One united to defend the city, and the Hu Er turned his arms around!"

The Song army defended the city responded in unison, and thousands of people roared, and the sound stopped the clouds.

Under the green Luo on the top of the slope, Ali Hague could hear it clearly. The ones around him were covered with warmth, and Guan Ge's face was full of anger.

Guan Ge said angrily: "Ata, these Song people are ungrateful. As the proverb says, they will not shed tears without seeing the coffin. Today, we will let them see the coffin!"

Tuowen Buhua leaned over and asked for an order: "Brother Guan Ge is right, please ask the marshal to give the order, and let the general beat these Song Gou to cry!"

Ali Hague stroked his long beard and said lightly: "Since they shot down the banner of peace, then give them war."

Baowen Buhua clasped his fists and shouted: "Abide by the order!"

Half a moment later, Chagansuluding fell down and Halasuluding raised up.
Chapter completed!
