Chapter 212 Opportunity to Forgive the Deeds

He was originally worried that Jia Sidao would open the back door to Ye Mingshen due to Yu Tianxi. This not only broke the rules under Meng Gong, but also probably the other wealthy businessmen and gentry who had not escaped would be widely publicized, but unexpectedly, the matter was completely different from what he expected.

No matter how good Ye Mingshen is, he only said a few words in front of the young uncle. The other rich businessmen and gentry didn't even have the chance to speak, and they were frightened by the young powerful and fled. Meng Ying was really disappointed.

You know, even though Meng Gong controls hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers inside and outside Xiangyang City, he can only slowly take advantage of these wealthy businessmen and gentry who have mixed relationships in the court. He even knows that some people are traitors who surrender to the enemy, but they still pretend not to know why? Isn’t it because these people have more or less backers in the court?

It’s nothing to have one backer and two backers, but if the backers behind these wealthy businessmen and gentry unite, they may even be troubled by the current right prime minister Shi Songzhi?

It is precisely because of this that the wealthy businessmen and gentry dared to come to the military weapon surveillance to petition directly. They all expected that Meng Gong would not dare to really do anything to them, so they were so confident.

But look at today, look at these wealthy businessmen and gentry who didn’t even dare to breathe in front of this young powerful man. This is the gap brought about by power.

Even though Meng Gong was already a chief official with hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, he was still much worse than the real power figures in the court.

"Hmm?" Jia Sidao, who was concentrating and contemplating, suddenly let out a scream of surprise.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Meng Ying hurried forward.

"General Meng, listen to the shouts of killing outside." Jia Sidao frowned.

Meng Ying listened quietly for a moment and said in a lost voice: "Why is the sound of fighting so much weaker? Have the Mongols already climbed the city wall?"

"Will the city be so quiet after climbing the city?" Jia Sidao smiled and shook his head, "The sound of the sound of the sound of the siege of Jin withdrawal has never been heard from the camp. It seems that the siege of the siege of the city was defeated. No... Go to Meng Shuai quickly and let him be careful of the Mongol cavalry..."

"Boom!"

Before Jia Sidao finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside Xiangyang City where he had not stopped fighting. Just by listening to the sound, you can tell that this time, the Mongolian cavalry under Wen Buhua came out in full swing.

"Sir, the gentle siege infantry has not yet retreated. It is useless for him to drive the cavalry at this time? If he uses cavalry to shoot the city head, unless he doesn't even want the lives of his soldiers."

Meng Ying was not too worried. Unless he was humble and was crazy, if he used cavalry charge and used volley shooting to rage the city of Xiangyang, the first thing he would have to be beaten was the siege infantry under his command who had not retreated.

Jia Sidao glanced at Meng Ying who didn't care much and said, "If Wen Buhua really cared about his soldiers, how could he drive his subordinates to attack the city day and night without regard for casualties?"

"This... I'm not so gentle, maybe I wanted to take down Xiangyang City in one go. Lord..."

Meng Ying obviously still didn't believe it. After all, he drove the army to attack the city day and night. Perhaps it was because Gong Wenbuhua wanted to take down Xiangyang City in one go to avenge the Song Dynasty's alliance and attack the enemy. However, he blatantly shot and killed them without distinguishing between the enemy and me. The nature would be different. Even a wise commander would not do this, let alone a resourceful person like Gong Wenbuhua, who is rare in Mongolia.

Killing a chicken to keep warm may lead to a temporary victory, but it will also make the hearts of your subordinates cold.

Jia Sidao shook his head. He also hoped that Gu Wenbuhua would not do this, but once he did this, it mean that Gu Wenbuhua had no patience. In order to break the city, even his soldiers could shoot and kill them, what other despicable means could not be used?

Thinking of this, Jia Sidao was even more worried. You should know that in the Wenwen Formation, in addition to the nearly 300,000 troops gathered one after another, there were more than one million civilians he recruited from all over the Central Plains.

If the gentle and gentle man urges the army to drive the civilians to attack the city as vanguards, what should we do?

"Swish swish swish!"

The sound of sharp arrows roaring in the sky suddenly resounded over the entire Xiangyang City! When everyone in the room heard the roar, they immediately changed their color.

The thing that worries the most has happened!

"Sir..." Meng Ying was immediately anxious. At this time, there was no need to think about it. Meng Gong must still be supervising the battle on the city tower. If Meng Gong had a few shortcomings... Meng Ying could no longer imagine it.

"General Meng, the cavalry that was not as gentle as you are already dispatched. It's too late for you to go at this time." Jia Sidao had already begun to make the worst plan in his mind. Now that things have come, he can only hope that the monocular lens he gave Meng Gong can be used well. In this case, Meng Gong might be able to detect the Mongolian cavalry wandering outside the city in advance and respond.

"Haha, Meng Shuai Ji only has the appearance of heaven, so there will definitely be no problem. It seems that the second most gentle voice is to swear to break the city. For the sake of this, I can only hope that Lord Wang and others can do what they need as soon as possible. Otherwise... I am afraid that Meng Shuai will prepare to abandon the city in advance."

In the last half of the sentence, Jia Sidao's voice was already low, but Meng Ying was anxious but didn't hear it at all.

...

The 60,000 Mongolian cavalry who had retreated and cruised outside the city suddenly set off, throwing endless rain of arrows at the head of Xiangyang City regardless of the enemy. The vassals and generals who were already unwilling to drink were all blown up.

The infantry that attacked the city mainly came from the Jin Kingdom, and there were some surrendered soldiers from the Song Dynasty in the Western Xia, with about 30,000 people.

Perhaps it was because Meng Gong personally supervised the battle, or perhaps because the arrival of the reward ambassador gave the Song soldiers in the Jinghu War Zone the courage, or because he had not even climbed the city wall for more than 20 consecutive days, the infantry under Gu Wen Buhua had lost much morale. In any case, not long after the battle, these 30,000 vassal soldiers who were siege were defeated by the Song army on the city wall and retreated in panic.

Although the horn of retreat was not sounded, since the siege failed, it was necessary to avoid the edge for a while and then reorganize the team to continue to attack the city. However, less than 10,000 infantrymen actually retreated, and most of the remaining ones were still under the city wall. At this time, 60,000 cavalry were dispatched to cover the Xiangyang city wall with arrow rain. Although the large number of Song soldiers guarding the city were killed, the first ones that were hit must be the ones who did not retreat.

After more than 20 days of fighting, all the troops were severely reduced. The generals who were vassal of the Mongols were already vain and could not follow this time. The 60,000 Mongolian cavalry could only command them.

In other words, such an order is obviously from a warm mouth.

For a long time, the warmth of the wars against the Song and Jin Dynasties has accumulated great power in the hearts of the vassals of various divisions, so even if each general is unable to accept it, no one dares to directly object.
