my wife is mulan

The knight reined in his horse and stopped in front of the imperial chariot, and reported: "Your Majesty, General Su's well rails and wheeled retractable siege ladders were all burned down by the defenders, and there was not a single one left. It is said that the soldiers who attacked the city suffered heavy casualties! "

Zhao Junsheng's expression changed after hearing this, he turned his head to look at the dozen or so wells that were still advancing straight ahead, and immediately ordered: "Send the troops to withdraw!"

"Dangdangdang" There was a sound of gongs, and the allied army retreated like a tide, and even the allied army on the city wall retreated one after another, but the defenders did not pursue them, fearing that they would force them to jump over the wall and let them go.

Not long after, Su Ji came to the imperial chariot with a few people on horseback. He dismounted and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I failed in command, and the defenders burned all the melee siege equipment, and lost more than [-] people in less than an hour." , the previously designated siege strategy was completely restrained by the defenders, this is all because of my incompetence, and I am willing to commit suicide to pay for my crimes!"

After finishing speaking, Su Ji drew his sword and wanted to kill himself.

Zhao Junsheng's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. With a flick of his hand, a few needles shot into Su Ji's wrist. Su Ji screamed in pain, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and his injured hand trembled.

Zhao Junsheng said angrily with a cold face: "Come here, call the imperial doctor to treat his wounds, and come to see me after the wounds are healed! Send an order to withdraw the troops and return to the camp!"

The emperor immediately turned his horses around and pulled the imperial chariot towards the camp, and the generals and schools of each army also ran to their own team and ordered the soldiers to turn back to the camp to rest.

Originally, everything was going well, but today the morale of the soldiers is high, and their mental and physical strength have returned to their peak state. Unexpectedly, the siege battle has just started, and the siege mode has been completely restrained by the defenders. The second siege battle also ended dismal, which dealt a huge blow to the morale of the army. When all the soldiers retreated to the camp, they were like eggplants beaten by frost.

Inside the handsome account.

Zhao Junsheng took advantage of his face to sit on the main seat, with his back straight, his hands on his knees, and his gaze sweeping back and forth on the faces of the ministers, ministers and generals.

The ministers and generals dared not show their pride. Everyone knew that Zhao Junsheng was on fire at this time, and it was fine if the battle was defeated. The general in charge of commanding the battle wanted to commit suicide and apologize. How could Zhao Junsheng bear it?Can death solve the problem?If all the ministers and generals died like Su Ji, how could he be the emperor?How can you control the officials?

The small principal on duty outside the tent came in, the atmosphere in the tent made his heart beat wildly, he walked carefully to the middle and reported: "Your Majesty, General Su is waiting outside the tent to be summoned by His Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng said coldly: "Xuan, that bastard, come in!"

Su Ji clutched his gauze-wrapped wrist and walked in with his head down, knelt down on the ground with a plop, "The sinner sees Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Su Ji, do you still want to die?"

"Your Majesty, the subject is guilty!"

Zhao Junsheng pointed at Su Ji and cursed: "In my opinion, you are a fool and a coward! If something happens, you want to escape responsibility. Others are trying to avoid responsibility, but you are better off. You just want to escape responsibility with death. Do you think you You are very brave, you are cowardly! If you are bloody and kind, you will break the city and capture everyone in the city! Sima Yi met Zhuge Liang after repeated defeats, and finally exhausted Zhuge Liang to death Well, once you fail, you want to die. I see that your life was too smooth before. Since you want to die, you should die."

Su Ji was scolded bloody by Zhao Junsheng, which also woke him up. He thought that he had lived a very smooth life for the past ten years. He had never experienced failure, so he couldn't stand this failure. man.

"Your Majesty, I have made a mistake, Your Majesty, I beg you to give me another chance. If you don't break this city, I will never give up!"

Chapter 1019 Building a Mound

The failure of the Qian army to attack the city this time is extremely rare since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Although the main attacking force is the Allied Army, the commander is a general of the Qian Kingdom. In an hour, not only lost a large number of siege equipment, but also Seven 800 people were killed.

This incident also made Zhao Junsheng realize that the Southern Song Dynasty still had talents, some people were bloody, and not everyone was cowardly.

At the same time, he also realized that the generals and soldiers of the Gan army have been winning battles for so many years. If there are too many victories, the soldiers are prone to arrogance and arrogance, especially when they are fighting against the army of the Southern Dynasty. In view of this, Zhao Junsheng called a meeting of generals and officers in the army, including the corps chief, to sound the alarm.

Su Ji became a negative teaching material. Zhao Junsheng told his example in the army for several days, severely reprimanded and warned the generals and officers to get rid of the ethos of arrogance. Su Ji felt ashamed and vowed in his heart to break through In front of this city.

Just as Zhao Junsheng was rectifying the atmosphere in the army, news came from the black guard.

Lin Jinghui reported to Zhao Junsheng: "General, I have just received reports of ineffective battles. A few days ago, General Lu Shuang attacked Yiling for a long time, and then reinforcements from the Southern Dynasties arrived. The two sides fought twice in small-scale battles, regardless of the outcome, but then heavy rain fell. Due to the problem of logistics supplies, most of the grain and grass in the army were soaked by rain and became moldy. The soldiers in the army were poisoned after eating, vomiting and diarrhea, and the combat power of the soldiers was greatly reduced. General Lu Shuang had to lead the army to retreat. Behind our cavalry hall, the Song army has a small number of cavalry, and they dare not chase after them. Our army is retreating to Zigui, but the Song army is pressing on every step of the way!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned, is it raining heavily?Natural factors, non-human can resist!

"Come here, Minister Xuan Gongqing and the general are here to discuss matters!"

Soon, all the ministers and generals who received the edict came one after another.

Zhao Junsheng recounted the situation and asked: "This is the situation, how do you think I should deal with it?"

Minister Gao Yuan stood up and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, in view of the current situation, I suggest ordering Lu Shuang to lead his troops to retreat directly to Yong'an. The terrain there is dangerous and there are strong passes. Only a small amount of troops can resist the Song army's attack!"

"Your Majesty, I do not agree. Our army has always only attacked, not defended. Once we retreat to Yong'an, our army's morale will be demoralized!" Minister Wu Datong stood up and said loudly.

Zhao Junsheng asked Dongfang Chen: "What does the national teacher think?"

Dongfang Chen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, although the rain will not last for too long in this season, most soldiers get sick from eating moldy military rations. It will take time for them to recover their combat strength and morale, and Song It is obviously impossible for the army to give them time, so retreating to Yong'an now is the most feasible way!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Li Song: "Li Qing, what do you think?"

Li Song thought for a while, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what the national teacher said is not unreasonable. Under the current situation, we can only retreat to Yong'an. The soldiers are sick and unable to win, and may even be defeated! But there is a problem with this, once we retreat to Yong'an and the Song army blocks the outside of the pass, it will not be easy for our army to go out of the Kanto and enter!"

Dongfang Chen said, "Mr. Li, don't forget that His Majesty has ordered Sima Chuzhi and Liang Yi to gather troops to intimidate Xiangyang and Huainan. If the northern border of the Southern Dynasty is in crisis, will Jiankang order the reinforcements to withdraw to reinforce the north?"

What Dongfang Chen said sounded very reasonable, but Zhao Junsheng thought about it carefully, unless the northern defense line of the Southern Dynasty was breached by Sima Chuzhi and Liang Yi, how could the Southern Dynasty easily transfer back the 5 reinforcements from Sichuan and Shu?They were willing to hand over Sichuan and Shu to others, and once the [-] reinforcements were transferred back, what would happen to Yiling?

Zhao Junsheng turned around and thought again, if Lu Shuang didn't withdraw to Yong'an at this time, considering the current situation of Lu Shuang's army, he might be defeated in all likelihood. After all, most of the [-] army had food poisoning. This situation is not suitable at all. Fight, the battle must be defeated!If you don't retreat, you will face the danger of annihilation.

After some consideration, Zhao Junsheng ordered: "Decree to Lu Shuang as quickly as possible, let him retreat to Yong'an, especially guard the waterways, and not allow a ship from the Southern Dynasty to enter Sichuan and Sichuan! In addition, some military doctors will be transferred from us." Go to support Lu Shuang's army!"

"promise!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Su Ji again and said, "Su Ji, I will give you ten more days at most, and you must destroy the city within ten days!"

Su Ji stood up, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, and said, "I obey the order!"

Four days have passed since the last siege battle ended disastrously, two days have passed since Zhao Junsheng gave Su Ji, and he only has eight days left.

In the past two days, there was no movement on Su Ji's side, Zhao Junsheng and all the ministers were waiting for him.

That night, while Zhao Junsheng was reviewing important memorials, a royal guard walked in and reported, "Your Majesty, General Su is begging to see you!"

"Show him in!" Zhao Junsheng put down his pen after finishing speaking, closed the memorial, and watched Su Ji walk in.

Su Ji stood in front of the imperial case, bowed his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have formulated a new siege plan, and I am here to report it to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Tell me!"

"No!" Su Ji agreed, and immediately confessed his thoughts.

After Zhao Junsheng listened quietly, he thought about it carefully. Although there are some problems in this plan, these are not major problems and can be improved.

He nodded and said: "Okay, I agree with your siege strategy, you can go ahead and do it!"

The next day, the army recruited a large number of refugees, and these refugees began to work with poles and baskets and hoes.

The observation post on the city wall reported it immediately after discovering it, because the refugees were located a little far away from the city wall, and they could not be seen just standing on the city wall, only the observation post on the tower could see it. After hearing the report, Chen Xian and Ye Tongzhang Immediately climb up the sentry tower to observe.

A few miles to the northeast, a large number of refugees were sweating profusely. Ye Tongzhang wondered: "After the large number of siege equipment of the Qianjun army was burned last time, they haven't attacked the city these days. Why did they recruit so many people today? "

Chen Xian shook his head: "I can't see clearly!"

But soon, these refugees told them with practical actions, and soon, a large number of refugees came towards the city wall with baskets.

"What's in their baskets?"

Chen Xian thought of something, "It should be soil!"
