Ouyang Shuo's words were so excited that the members of the Military Affairs Office were unanimously adopted Jia Xu's plan.

After the meeting was over, everyone took action immediately.

In view of Wu Qi's outstanding performance in commanding the raid, Ouyang Shuo proposed that Wu Qi not only was included in the Military Affairs Office, but also appointed Wu Qi as the commander-in-chief of the entire Southern Song camp.

After Lu Xiufu's death, Ouyang Shuo was already the undisputed ruler of the Military Affairs Office.

At the same time, some adjustments were made to the military deployment.

The city gate that was opened by the Han people this time was selected as the North City Gate, which was facing the North Daying in Mongolia. If nothing unexpected happens, Kublai Khan's golden tent will also be placed in the north.

In Ouyang Shuo's words, it is necessary to use the strongest troops to confront the strongest side of Mongolia.

Ace vs. Ace.

To this end, all 150,000 cavalry units of the Yi Ren Legion were dispatched. In addition, 50,000 infantry assistance from the Yi Ren Legion were also allocated, totaling 200,000 troops, led by Guo Ziyi.

Only 90,000 Infantry Army and 50,000 Song Dynasty Imperial Guards remained in Lin'an City. The 140,000 city guards were naturally far from enough for the huge Lin'an City.

As soon as the Military Affairs Office was concluded, the imperial court's conscription order was issued.

It was a customary practice for the Mongolian army to massacre the city. The Southern Song Dynasty had just won another battle and attacked the Mongolian army. As soon as the court said it, the people of Lin'an believed it, actively responded to the court's call and devoted themselves to the upcoming war.

The young and middle-aged man bid farewell to his parents, wife and children, went to the conscription site set up in the city to enlist in the army. He then left the city under the leadership of the officers. While the Mongolian army had not yet arrived at the front line, he went to the battlefield ruins to pick up weapons and equipment.

The Southern Song Dynasty did not respect force, and the capital treasury was not like Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. There were no weapons and equipment left to save. If you want to solve the equipment problem of new recruits, you could only rely on finding a bargain.

Fortunately, after the raid, the battlefield had not yet been cleared, and the corpses of nearly 200,000 Mongolian troops were scattered everywhere, some of which were equipped and weapons.

Two days later, the bodies exposed to the sun were swollen and emitted foul smell. As soon as people walked in, they could startle countless flies, like black clouds, making people's scalp numb.

Because it is a battlefield, the deaths are different, and it is normal to have missing arms and broken legs. Some are directly split in half, and their internal organs are exposed to the air, which makes people disgusted; some are smashed and their brains are overflowing.

The entire battlefield is like hell.

The newly recruited recruit Danzi endured his disgust and fear, and walked in the sea of ​​blood and tiring off the equipment from the dead one by one. There was the unqualified rough man who was put on his body in a blink of an eye.

Most of the recruits did not have the courage and did not have such a big nerve. They all looked pale and vomited continuously. In the end, there was nothing to vomit, so they could only vomit bitterly.

It’s so pitiful. Before joining the army, they were just ordinary people. Many people have never seen anyone dead in their lives. Now, they suddenly face such a bloody scene, vomiting is a normal physiological reaction.

Not everyone's nerves are so big.

This move can be regarded as a gift for the recruits, allowing them to truly feel the cruelty of the battlefield. Only by seeing blood can they not be unable to walk in the future battle to defend the city.

Except for young and middle-aged people, everyone else took action.

The woman contributed the vegetable oil that was already very precious and reluctant to use in her home. She used neighbors as units to gather them together in large tanks and then transported them to the city walls in a unified manner.

Under the command of the Ministry of Works, the craftsmen began to demolish idle houses, and then transported wood and trucks of stone to various sections of the city walls to store them.

The buildings of temples and Taoist temples also suffered, because most of these buildings are built very majestic and use beams and good wood, which is most suitable for guarding the city.

Seeing Guan Yu being demolished, the monks and Taoists could only sigh silently: "The world has changed!"

There were also young monks and Taoists who simply turned around and went to the conscription site to join the army. Among these people, there were many monks and heroes, and they were very capable.

The major blacksmith shops in the city operate day and night, creating bundles of arrows, and every moment, the people send iron pots, iron basins and other utensils.

Even the royal family moved, not only completely opening the inner treasury, but also actively raising iron tools. The eight-year-old emperor Zhao Bing even wanted to demolish the palace to avenge Mr. Lu, but was stopped by the minister.

Some minister couldn't help but burst into tears and choked and said, "Your Majesty, no matter how difficult the court is, it is not as good as the palace is being demolished. It is a symbol of the dynasty and must not be demolished."

"Yes, Your Majesty, even if you want to demolish it, you will demolish the mansion of our ministers." Some ministers agreed and did not require the Ministry of Works to lead people to do it, and directly arranged for the servants to demolish the house.

This was simply unimaginable before. It seemed that overnight, people's concepts suddenly changed drastically and were completely renewed.

The court was united in the country and went to the national crisis together.

Facts have proved that a nation that is forced into a desperate situation can often burst out with power that amazes the world.

In the Battle of Yashan in history, the epic feat of 100,000 soldiers and civilians who would rather jump into the sea to sacrifice their country than surrender to the Yuan Dynasty are the most intuitive reflection of this power.

Looking back further, during the Qin Dynasty in history, during the reign of Qin Xiaogong, the Qin State ceded land and sought peace. The people's livelihood was in decline, internal and external troubles, and they were oppressed by the Wei State.

At this moment, the old Qin people shouted "Together, to go to the national crisis together", and worked together to govern, officially kicking off the Qin Dynasty's unification of the world.

Similar examples are endless in the vast history of China for five thousand years.

Lin'an City on the battle map is destined to write a legendary history.

…………

Overnight, the entire Lin'an City started to move.

In the face of life and death, people only think that there is not enough time and wish that the Mongolian army will arrive later.

This is of course wishful thinking.

On the 20th day of the battle, Kublai Khan had already set out from Sanhe City and officially fought for the battle. According to the speed of the march, Kublai Khan and his party would arrive at the front line tomorrow morning at the latest.

As soon as the news came out, Lin'an was suddenly in a state of being both busy and uneasy.

As the saying goes: When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. When the country is in trouble, there will be people with generous and tragic songs, and there will be scum, poisons, and they will take advantage of the chaos to rise and cause chaos everywhere.

There were gangsters everywhere in the city taking advantage of the chaos to rob, and some even gave way to women on the street. In addition, Mongolian spies lurking in the city took the opportunity to spread various rumors, and Lin'an City was in chaos.

When Ouyang Shuo received the news, he did not think about it at all. He arranged for the Shenwu Guard to attack and patrol the city. However, some people found that those who robbed the house, teased women, and spread rumors did not conduct censorship and rectified the Dharma on the spot.

In troubled times, heavy punishments must be used. Under Ouyang Shuo's iron fist, the Shenwu Guard killed several groups of gangsters, and finally stabilized the situation in the city again.

In a busy and chaotic situation, the final decisive battle was coming.

…………

On the 21st day of the battle, Lin'an City.

Just after midnight, Lin'an City, which had just fallen asleep, quietly woke up.

"Squeak~~ga~~"

In the dark night, the suspension bridge at the North City Gate was slowly lowered, and then the city gate was wide open. There were already a group of troops gathered on the streets near the city.

Torches were lit one by one on both sides of the street and on the top of the city. Under Guo Ziyi's unified command, teams of troops moved quickly in the darkness with the faint light of the torches and passed through the city gates in turn.

First there are cavalry, then infantry.

The whole process was tense and orderly, and no riots were caused. By the time the 200,000 troops were all arranged outside the city, it was already seven o'clock in the morning, and the sun had just risen and shone brightly.

In the northern suburbs outside the city, 200,000 troops were arranged in four major arrays, with a strong army.

The sun shines on the soldier's armor and on the tip of the spear, shining brightly.

Only by looking down from a high altitude can you truly see the formation of the 200,000 army. The left and right wings are from evil, and the two powerful generals of Zhaozhuang each lead 50,000 elite cavalry.

In the rear army, the veteran Lian Po, who was good at defending, personally led 50,000 infantry soldiers to control the formation.

The most peculiar one is the Central Army.

The front of the central army were 25,000 Luofengcheng cavalry, 25,000 Daxia imperial guards in the middle, and the back of the three thousand Shenwu Guards led by Xu Chu.

Ouyang Shuo was wearing military uniform and riding the sub-divine beast Xiaoqing, standing in the middle of the Shenwu Guard.

This means that Ouyang Shuo will also have to fight in person this time.

At the beginning, whether it was the Phoenix Prisoner or the Evil Come, Jia Xu and others did not agree with Ouyang Shuo's personal expedition, but Ouyang Shuo had his insistence.

Since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, Ouyang Shuo, as the King of Xia, has rarely fought in person, and even if he goes on the battlefield, he never really goes to the battlefield to fight.

But this time it's different.

Somehow, from the beginning of the battle map, the murderous aura in Ouyang Shuo's body became uncontrollably active. After seeing the cruel methods of the Mongols, hatred turned into murderous intent, which was even more uncontrollable.

Ouyang Shuo must release this murderous aura on the battlefield.

Ouyang Shuo once was also excited. He didn't want to turn cold after ascending the throne.

In addition to personal factors, Ouyang Shuo personally fought for the battle plan proposed by Jia Xu. As a top strategist, Jia Xu's plan was of course not just as simple as saving 100,000 people who were bullied by the Mongols.

That can only treat symptoms but not root causes, and it is not enough to reverse the entire battle.

If you want to solve the battle once and for all, the best way is to kill Kublai Khan like killing Boyan. Even if you don’t help, you must give Kublai Khan severe damage, scare him away, and take the initiative to withdraw his troops.

To this end, Jia Xu formulated a complete set of combat plans.

The 200,000 army outside the city is the core force in implementing this plan, and a key figure is needed in the entire plan to be responsible for the final blow.

No matter how you look at it, Ouyang Shuo is the best candidate. In addition to his personal combat power, Ouyang Shuo also holds two secret weapons in his hand.

Even so, Feng Qiuhuang and others still disagreed. It was not until Ouyang Shuo showed the substitute doll he carried on him that he finally convinced Feng Qiuhuang and others.

In the military formation, Ouyang Shuo, who was heavily guarded by the Shenwu Guard, looked at the north from afar and murmured to himself: "Did Kublai Khan? Let's have a peak showdown between kings!"
