After Li Heng was trapped, he would be in thunder again in anger.

The two of them pondered for a long time, and Su Liuyi sighed: "Mr. Zhang, we can only stay in the city and guard it, and set up a thunder formation outside the city to resist the Yuan army."

Zhang Jue said: "But the Yuan army has more than 100,000 troops and horses, and there are also artillery chariots. I am afraid that they can't stop them with thunder formations!"

Now both sides of the Song and Yuan dynasties have firearms, and many of the previous methods of defending the city are no longer applicable. Even Zhang Jue, who is best at defending the city, has a headache at this time.

The power of the sky-bombing thunder is much greater than that of stones. The walls of Haikang County are not strong, so it is basically impossible to block the cannon-shooting carts.

In the past, when there was a moat to resist the enemy, the soldiers in the city could have slaughtered on the top of the city, causing great damage to the enemy under the city. But now, the Yuan army does not need to attack the city at all. They only need to use the catapult to blow up the city wall after driving hundreds of meters. As long as they are willing to shells, the Song army will no longer be able to take advantage of the city wall. Even if there are more defenders arranged on the city wall, they will only be bombed.

When Zhao Dongting used to bombard the city, the Yuan army guarding the city suffered a lot and was blown to death. At this time, this dilemma fell on Zhang Jue and the others.

The emergence of firearms has gradually changed the original war mode in this world.

The city wall that used to allow the soldiers guarding the city to have the advantage is not particularly tall and sturdy now, but has become useless.

Su Liuyi also knew that what Zhang Jue said was the truth and said, "Then how can we defend this Haikang County? Otherwise, let the Empress Dowager and the ministers leave Haikang first?"

By this time, it was obviously too late to evacuate the people. As an old minister, Su Liuyi had an outdated mind and probably did not take the people in his heart too much.

In this era, many ministers and ministers had the problem of Su Liuyi. After all, although Zhao Dongting continued to enhance the status of the people, his time in power was still too short to completely change the ministers' thinking.

In the minds of many Song ministers like Su Liu Yi, they were still led by the aristocratic class.

Zhang Jue was stunned when he heard this and said, "Only withdraw the ministers and ministers, not the people. When the emperor knows, will he blame us?"

But he knew how much Zhao Dongting cared about the people.

Su Liuyi sighed and said, "Even if the emperor blames him, there is no way. If Haikang County is destroyed, wouldn't the Empress Dowager and the others be able to withstand such a storm again?"

Zhang Jue fell silent.

Su Liuyi said it is indeed right. Until now, the royal family of the Song Dynasty has been withered. If something happened to the Empress Dowager and King Guang Zhao Bing again

By then, Zhao Dongting would be the only one left in the royal family of the Song Dynasty.

If the royal family dies, the country dies. If Zhao Dongting has any more accidents, what is the significance of their efforts over the years?

In their hearts, they did not fight for the people like Song Bitao, but for the royal family and for the Zhao family.

Seeing Zhang Jue silent, Su Liuyi hurriedly stood up, "I'll go into the palace to ask for the Empress Dowager."

Zhang Jue did not stop him.

Even if you are blamed by the emperor, it is better than the Queen Mother and King Guang’s accident.

Moreover, if Haikang City is broken, it is unknown whether he can still wait until the emperor returns.

Zhang Jue stroked his forehead with both hands, sat on the chair and sighed softly, then began to ponder deeply.

After Su Liuyi left the room, he asked his servants to bring horses and rushed towards the Hikang Palace not far away in the night.

Neither he nor Zhang Jue wanted to abandon Haikang County, but he did not have much confidence in defending Haikang.

And just over ten minutes later, the quietness on the front street of the Hikang Palace was suddenly broken and became unprecedentedly lively.

The heavy night was suddenly torn apart by the fire, and a mansion hundreds of meters away from the Haikang Palace was filled with fire.

"There's a fire!"

"There's a fire!"

The screams echoed on the streets, and many maids ran out of the mansions and ran towards the fired mansion.

On this front street, all the officials and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty lived. They were all high and powerful. Any fire in any mansion would naturally be a major event.

Zhang Jue, who was thinking, was shocked by the noise. He walked out of the door and asked the servant who was waiting outside the door, saying, "Which master's mansion caught fire?"

Although this family man always guarded the door, he was clear about the front street. Looking at the place where the fire was soaring into the sky, he replied: "Sir, it seems to be General Liu's mansion."

General Liu? Liu Hongyi?

Zhang Jue was slightly shocked and then said, "Call the servants quickly and go to General Liu's house to put out the fire."

The dean ran away quickly.

Although this is Su Liuyi's mansion and Zhang Jue is not their master, he certainly dare not neglect the military order.

Without waiting for these servants, Zhang Jue stomped his feet heavily and ran out of the mansion.

Unexpectedly, he had not thought of a way to deal with the Yuan army. Liu Hongyi's mansion caught fire, which made him a little upset.

And Liu Hongyi was not healed, and he was also worried about something unexpected happening to Liu Hongyi.

He was a minister in the same dynasty and had fought side by side. He admired Liu Hongyi's courage, so he naturally did not want anything to happen to Liu Hongyi.

And at this time, in Liu Mansion.

Liu Hongyi was covered in dust and cursed at his beloved young son.

But his son is a little older, how can he know what?

Liu Hongyi cursed loudly, but his son laughed and his face was full of childishness.

He Huixiang looked anxiously beside her, but she couldn't stand it and said, "Master, stop scolding Hu'er, what does he know? Let's put out the fire first!"

Liu Hongyi pointed at his bedroom with a angrily light, "Put the fire? Madam, can the fire be saved?"

He was really heartbroken.

This mansion was given to him by the emperor, but judging by the fire, he may have turned into ashes when it is put out.
