Chapter 711
Ningbo is an important seaport in the southeast.

Merchants in the south of the Yangtze River want to go south by sea, so this place is the first choice.
If it is the Taiping Festival, merchant ships here and there can easily form a prosperous place.

But Shenzhou is currently in war, and the southern trade routes are blocked, so this place has become less important, especially for forces that want to compete with the princes of the world, it is not suitable as a foundation.

The Southern Song Dynasty did not mean to regard this place as the foundation,
However, Lin'an's door was open, so that the Southern Song Dynasty did not have the slightest sense of security, and the enemy army could approach the city with just a thought.

No matter how prosperous such a place is, it cannot continue to be a capital city.

In the south of Lin'an, the only place that seems to have some terrain advantages is Ningbo. Zhao Yan and Yu Yunwen also know that choosing Ningbo may encounter the enemy's cross-sea attack.

But their original intention was to temporarily use this place as a place to stay, and wait for Han Shizhong to clean up the southern area before continuing to move the foundation.

It's just that Xia Jun came too fast, but in half a year, he gathered an army of 80 million. This was to eradicate Zhao Song in one fell swoop when the Southern Song Dynasty was weak.

At this time, a large number of soldiers gathered on the top of Ningbo City, and layers of magic circles formed a tough invisible barrier.

boom!boom!
Outside the city, there are more than [-] elite troops with a fierce and terrific military appearance. They are the sea soldiers led by Shi Wansui.
This large army was rigorous, with catapults roaring continuously, and a large number of kerosene bombs bombarded the city wall like burning meteors!

These kerosene bombs were mixed with a lot of spirit stone powder, and the trebuchet was also researched and refined by Daxia Daozhengsi and the Military Academy, and became a large-scale magic weapon specially used to kill and siege cities.

As time goes by, the strength of the Great Xia soldiers, as well as their armor and siege equipment, will only become more and more powerful.

With the current catapult and spirit fire bombs, it only takes two or three hits to knock down a city without the protection of formations.
In terms of power alone, there are already shadows of rank nine generals.

When the burning meteor bombarded the city barrier, it was extremely violent, and the impact force of the strong vibrating energy and the barrier collided, and was weakened by several percent. When it fell on the city wall, it no longer had the power to burn the city can.

Great Xia's siege equipment is constantly innovating, and other forces are not idle.

Especially the Zhao Song Dynasty, after being hammered on the head by Daxia soldiers and horses several times to find Bei, they also learned from the pain and looked for all the ways to resist the Daxia army.

Zhao Song Chongdao, after knowing that Daxia Daozhengsi had recruited many Taoists and strangers to research a large number of military and national weapons, he also invited a large number of Taoist priests to become royal enshrined, and used Taoism to refine various weapons and weapons.

In addition, there are various large formations used to defend the city wall, all of which are used.

When the army fights back and forth, the military formation is the right way, and the Taoist formation is used to defend the city wall. It cannot be blessed by the soldiers' evil spirit of the soldiers on the city wall. It can only suppress the formation with spirit stones and various treasures.

"Although the Taoist magic circle is mysterious, if it is used to fight for the front, it will only be wiped out by the evil spirit. In a few days, the suppressed things will collapse. Yu Xiang must train soldiers as soon as possible and fill them with the method of military strategists. Only in this way can the enemy be blocked. military!"

On the city wall, an old Taoist priest with a slightly pale complexion spoke to Yu Yunwen in a low voice.

As the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yu Yunwen had to come to the city in person at this time to command the army to resist Daxia's attack.

"I understand, thank you, Zhenren Chen, for reminding me!"

Yu Yunwen also knows that the Taoist formation is not the same as the military formation engraved on the top of the city,
What the military strategists condense is the evil spirit, which is full of red dust, greed, hatred and ignorance, and the three poisons. For those who practice the military strategist method, these powers can bless themselves and condense power at will.

But for Taoists who specialize in cultivating the clear qi of heaven and earth, it is the dirtiest thing in the world.

Although the Taoists also have methods to eliminate sins and purify evil spirits, they are somewhat powerless when encountering the most fierce and fierce battlefield evil spirits among all evil spirits.

It's okay to let Taoists who practice Taoism refine various equipment and elixir, but let them go to the battlefield, forget it.

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Jiao, who had mastered the Dunjia Heavenly Book and summoned the wind and rain to establish the Dao Kingdom on the ground, had great supernatural powers and was definitely the peak figure of the ninth rank.

There is also the White Lotus Sect that confuses the people and rebels. Each leader and saintess is usually very powerful, but after being accidentally contaminated by evil spirits on the battlefield several times, the strength will retreat...

In addition to the methods of Confucianism, Yu Yunwen also dabbled in the methods of Buddhism and Taoism, knowing that the Taoist magic circle can only delay the time as much as possible, and cannot really be relied on to protect Ningbo.

The only thing he can do is to take advantage of the time when the city walls are guarded by magic circles to recruit young men for training in the city.Act as a reserve army for defending the city.

boom!
There was another thundering roar, and a spirit fire bomb blasted on the city wall, splashing sparks all over the sky. Although the power of the spirit fire bomb was weakened by many formations, the remaining power still cannot be underestimated.

The flying sparks contained the power to penetrate some burning voids, turning hundreds of soldiers of the Song army around them into fire men.The shrill screams continued.

Many soldiers of the Song army on the top of the city couldn't help showing fear on their faces when they saw such a miserable scene.

kill!Taking advantage of the eruption of the spiritual fire bombs, Xia Jun's elite immediately rushed forward with the ladder, ready to attack the city.

The method of guarding the city wall can block the exploding spirit fire bombs and suppress the vibration of vitality, but this is the limit.

After all, the battlefield is not the home of Taoism.

"Knife and shield with shield in hand, archers get ready..."

Fortunately, many generals and schools of the Song Army did not lose their fighting spirit, and continued to command soldiers to make up for the gaps that were destroyed.

Yu Yunwen saw all of this with serious eyes.

Right now Ningbo has several defensive formations, plus he controls the large formation with his soul, he can defend the city and temporarily block Shi Wansui's more than [-] elites.

But this is the limit of what he can do. When the magic circle is wiped out and collapsed by Xia Jun, Ningbo may not be able to stop it for two hours.

"Could it be that the sky is really going to destroy Zhao Song?"

Yu Yunwen felt a little sad.

He insists that he can govern the country and the country, and he can also command the army, but the truth is that his supernatural powers are invincible to the number of days. No matter how strong a person is, he can't stop the majestic trend.

Now, Da Xia is going south with all his strength, and the destruction of Zhao Song is the general trend.

If there is no one who can resist the boundless power of a million troops, they can only watch Zhao Song being destroyed and cannot be saved.

Right now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhao Song is unable to support himself alone, and the time of destruction is not far away.

But Yu Yunwen was not reconciled, even if he knew that the end would be bad, he still had to learn from Zhuge Wuhou and use his blood to mend the sky!

During the extremely tense siege battle, the generals and soldiers on both sides put all their attention on the fight, and an hour passed like a whole day.

Xia Jun first bombarded with catapults, and then used columbine carts, rushing carts, erecting mounds, condescendingly shooting arrows, and using sharp weapons such as siege crossbows and eight-ox crossbows.

These instruments have all been modified and cast, and they are powerful.

Every bombardment, in addition to its own power, also carries a strong and unparalleled military formation, which constantly vibrates the barrier formed by the magic circle on the city wall, and gradually cracks appear.

In the Great Xia army formation, Shi Wansui was wearing armor, holding a long lance, and his tiger eyes contained infinite light, staring at the city wall.

Under his command, the 10,000+ army is like waves in the sea, hitting the city wall again and again, and every time it hits the city wall, some soldiers will die in battle.

However, whenever the loss reaches a certain level, the next wave of people will come to take over.

The frequency of the siege was not at all stagnant, so that Yu Yunwen, who commanded on the city wall, could not find any chance to fight back.

About two hours passed.

There was a loud cracking sound from the void above the Ningbo city wall, and the vitality in a radius of tens of miles was violently stirred, and an invisible barrier of clear light exploded. At the same time as it exploded, several streaks of spiritual light splashed out, quickly dimming and turning into fly ash.

"it is good!"

Shi Wansui laughed suddenly, "The first magic circle has been broken, and the remaining four magic circles can't stop it for a few days!"

His voice became like thunder, spreading throughout Ningbo City,

"Yu Yunwen, I've heard that you are a good official and famous minister. You should know how to assess the situation. Zhao Song is exhausted. If you think about it for Emperor Zhao Song, you should persuade him to open the city and surrender!"

"If you surrender, you will not only avoid the disaster of the city being destroyed, but also save the lives of the Zhao family members. My lord has always been kind and will never kill recklessly. Dare to guarantee Zhao Yan's life!"

Shi Wansui took advantage of the vibration of the soldiers on the city wall to persuade them to surrender, and at the same time weakened the morale of the Ningbo city wall and the monarchs and ministers in the city.

Yu Yunwen had expected the collapse of the first magic circle, so he didn't panic, and just snorted coldly when he heard this.

However, he can ignore Shi Wansui's words, but some people dare not.

In the city of Ningbo, the streets were filled with soldiers, and many young and strong men had been conscripted to help transport rolling logs and stones, prepare soup and medicine, and carry the injured soldiers off the city wall for treatment.

During the siege battle, the soldiers on the city wall suffered a lot of casualties, and the young and strong men who braved the spiritual fire bombs to climb the city wall to transport wounded soldiers and arrows also suffered a lot of casualties.

Freshly extinguished flames still lingered in the streets.Now Ningbo is not prosperous at all, only filled with bloody soldiers and fire.

In a mansion temporarily serving as a palace.

Zhao Yan, who was wearing a red uniform, sat on the head with a tired face, his brows were tightly frowned, and there were emotions of helplessness, frustration and fear between his brows.

No matter what kind of emperor, when the enemy's elite soldiers approached the city, they would be frightened and panicked.

Zhao Yun is considered the number one among the many emperors in the Southern Song Dynasty, but among the emperors in the entire history, he can only say that he is not bad. He has some martial arts and martial arts, which is about the same as Liu Yilong.

As a Mingjun, he did a good job in saving energy during peacetime, but when it came to the place where the two dynasties were fighting for life and death, he was a bit ineffective.

Whether it is courage or determination, they are more than one step away.

In the room, several other important ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, such as Zhang Jun, Zhao Ding, Li Gang, Li Guang, etc., were constantly discussing how to deal with the current situation.

Zhao Yun didn't listen to the people's discussion, because these ministers were good at governing the region and sorting out government affairs, but they were relatively mediocre in terms of military strategy, and even Yu Yunwen couldn't do a good job, let alone them.

"In one year, Xia's army came to the city twice! In such a situation, is it true that I, Zhao Song, have exhausted all my energy?"

Zhao Yan felt a little sad.

Just now Shi Wansui's voice was like thunder, covering the entire city, he also heard these words, and couldn't help feeling depressed.

He asked himself to be diligent in his administration and strive for revitalization, but only the past few years were relatively smooth. After Xia Jun crossed the river and began to go south, his vitality began to decline.

Up to now, even the famous ministers and generals like Yu Yunwen and Han Shizhong are a little helpless.

When Zhao Yan thought of this, he felt depressed. At this time, the voices of Li Gang and Zhang Jun became louder, as if they were arguing.

"Gentlemen, you have worked hard for the past few days, let's step down first!"

Zhao Yan said suddenly.

The few people who were racking their brains and racking their brains to think of countermeasures were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other. Zhao Ding saw the emperor's expression, and quickly said: "The officials have a good rest, and I will retire!"

Several people bowed their hands and retreated one after another, preparing to find another place to discuss.

After they left, the hall immediately became quiet.Only the faint shouts of killing told Zhao Yan that the offensive and defensive battle on the city wall was still going on.

"Officials, Tang Si retreats to see you!"

After a while, a eunuch walked in lightly and said in a low voice.

Zhao Yan raised his eyes and was silent for a while.

Tang Siti was a clean official and prudent in handling affairs. He was also the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty, but he was the leader of the Zhuhe faction, and he was not in the same way as Zhang Jun and Li Gang.

He is also a strong promoter of the Longxing peace talks.In Shenzhou World, because of the relationship between Yu Yunwen and others, he has been working in the local area.

After Zhao Song moved to Ningbo, he returned to the center.

As soon as he appeared, he didn't need to say anything at all, everyone could guess what he meant. What else could the leader of the peace faction say besides persuading the emperor to seek peace?
Zhao Yan just wanted to say no, but he immediately remembered the words of Shi Wansui not long ago...

"Let him in!"

Zhao Yan clenched his fists, managed to calm down some emotions, and said slowly.

The eunuch took the order softly, and soon, Tang Situi walked in.

"Chen Tang Si Tui, I have seen the official family!"

Tang Situi looked like a handsome Confucian official, with a slightly sparse beard and clear eyes, without any feeling of a treacherous official.In fact, he is not a pure traitor.

"What do you want to say? Do you want to persuade Zhen Kaicheng to surrender to Xia Jun as a lobbyist?"

Zhao Yun's voice was faint, slightly hoarse, without any emotion.

Tang Situi felt a shudder in his heart, knowing that Zhao Yan's mood was unpredictable at this time, and knowing that he could not say a word well, maybe he would be sent to the city wall by the officials to supervise the battle and die.

He quickly ran through what he wanted to say in his mind.

"The officials misunderstood. I have always been loyal and loyal. I have never had a second heart. How could I be a lobbyist for Xia Jun... This time I asked to see you, I wanted to offer advice to the officials!"

Tang Situ explained first.

"Suggestion? Do you have a way to make Shi Wansui retreat?"

Zhao Yan first laughed out loud, his eyes moved slightly, staring at the other party and said.
