"There are still extra places in the three cities," said Lu Xuanyi, who advised him, "Are you going to put the people in and fight against the city?"

"No, Nansi must not give up." Chen Gong raised his face and said slightly, "If you lose Nansi, not only will these hundreds of thousands of people be protected! The pirates will enter Zicheng, Dongcheng, Xicheng, Fuxu, Shimen and other eight outer towns may be completely cut off. We cannot save each other, but the pirates can choose a city to attack at will, and use the iron barrel cannon to approach the city and bombard the city. The cities in Guangzhou may not be able to save them!" He paused a little, looked at the streets and alleys of Nansi, which were already full of corpses, and a large number of group trainees gathered in the camps under the city, and whispered, "I don't know how many of the people gathered from all directions are the inner supporters of the pirates, and they must not be put into the city!"

Lu Xuanyi looked at the market outside the city that had become a mess, sighed and whispered: "The people outside the city... It's a pity, and what's even more regrettable is that after this battle, most of the seeds of my Guangzhou's clear stream may wither. Brother Chen, you should think about the future of our society and keep some study seeds for the local area." He shook his head, his face feeling sad.

Due to the fierceness of the pirates, the defending Haicheng and Nancheng were repeatedly lost, and the scholars and men in Guangnan were also sacrificed extremely heavy. Almost every scholar in the management society had an acquaintance to command the regiment. After a few days of bloody battle, the Qingliu in the city could be called mourning and everyone wore mourning. In order to restrain a plate of loose sand, Guangzhou Prefecture had to use the provincial school. The county school students and the Qingliu scholars were all used as chiefs of the imperial court and commanded first-level officers. These scholars were far more loyal to the court than ordinary people. They had always served as chiefs of the capital and trained officials. Many people had read military books written by Zhao Xingde. Most of them were just talking about war on paper and did not know how to adapt. They could still restrain dozens of men to obey orders. After one confrontation after another, the casualties of the state army were much heavier than those of the pirates.

"Where will the hair be attached?" Chen Gongju cut the railway firmly, "I think I am clear and clear, how can I not know how to sacrifice my life for justice?! They took a step first, and at the last moment, I, the governor, fill it up!" The pirates' offensive was so fast that they were far beyond his expectations, and the South China Sea Navy had not appeared. In the past few days, Chen Gongju's mood was heavy day by day. In the past few days, no matter how critical the situation outside was, Chen Gongju was always calm, as if he was determined to lose the pirates. Everyone also guessed whether he had other arrangements. At this moment, when he heard that he was planning to die with the city, some people felt deeply excited, and they immediately responded: "We are willing to follow the Lord!" "I am willing to fight to the death with the Lord!"

"Okay!" Chen Gongju slapped the city hard, "It's better to be broken than to be full of tiles!"

"It is better to be broken than to be full of tiles!" The officers and soldiers on the city were very energetic, and raised their swords together and shouted, "It is better to be broken than to be full of tiles!"

The shouts quickly spread to other parts of the city, and countless people shouted in unison: "It's better to be broken than to be broken!"

"It's better to be broken than to be full!" The shout suppressed the roaring cannon and spread from afar...

"It's better to be broken than to be broken!"

The sound reached a thatched hut in Nansi, where more than 40 strong men were sitting and lying in the shed. However, most of them looked gray and covered with blood. They stayed outside the city for more than half a month, which was quite experienced. They knew that bricks and tiles could not avoid the round iron lumps that fell from the sky. Instead, because the bricks and stones flew in a row, they simply chose a thatched hut with almost no roof. When they did not go out of the formation, the strong men's eyes turned and sat like dead people. There were a total of 100 people who were temporarily formed. According to the previous agreement, only three times or one head was cut off, and the strong men could get twenty stakes. People could go back to the camps under the city to rest. If they cut off more than two enemies' heads, they could be selected into the wing army, enter the urn city to rest, and cut off three heads, and they could be selected into the imperial guards, get military pay, and enter the city to reunite with their families.

After several battles, these strong men knew that it was difficult to cut off the thieves' heads, and they were more likely to be cut off by the thieves.

It is indeed a bit difficult for a strong man who has never killed a pig to compete with the vicious pirates to chop people's heads.

"What a group of pigs," Liu Sanqi thought in disappointment, "You can go to die by yourself if you want to die."

He lowered his head and scratched his fingers on the back of the knife, not daring to see the fierce light in his eyes.

He was originally a subordinate of the overlord of the East China Sea, and was mixed in the fleeing people's team. If the government did not allow the people to enter the city, he would clamor for rebellion. If the government allowed the people to enter the city, he would connect with the inside and outside the city, open the city gate for the king's family. The boss would eat some soup, and he would naturally have the benefits. Unexpectedly, the government actually let the elderly, weak, women and children into the city, and sent a group of scholars to train the strong men among the people into a team. After simple practice, he drove them to fight with the pirates.

When he was not on the battlefield, a strong man from the 10-man team was a guard. Liu Sanqi had no chance to slip away. When he was on the battlefield, he was without a sword and gun. The opposite side was not a subordinate of Donghaiba. Liu Sanqi wanted to run to the opposite side several times, but almost was cut off by the pirates who were also red-eyed. After a few days, Liu Sanqi worked hard to save his life, but he never dared to run to the opposite side again. He had no choice but to kill the two opposite sides. He was selected as the wing army, and there was no temptation, but he had only a lot of wing army. The two pirates had 40 trump cards of heads and thirty trump cards of military pay a year, but if one more head was cut, he could be promoted to an imperial guard. If it weren't for a big change, the court would never cut the imperial guards. The 50 trump cards of military pay a year were to ensure income from drought and flood. This was better than the pirates who could not enter the ancestral grave after death.

Whenever the night is late, Liu Sanqi is extremely conflicted and his attitude towards commander left is a bit strange. Instead, Zuo Nianyuan praised him as a "simple Shaowen" and appointed him as the commander. Liu Sanqi was disdainful of this commander left who was so ruthless and full of his mind to "sacrifice his life for righteousness". After all, people's hearts are full of flesh. He turned out to be a fisherman. After falling into the grass, he met cunning and vicious people. Only by being cruel and vicious than others can he survive and stand out...

"The surname of Zuo, if there is a future, I will save you a life." Liu Sanqi thought to himself, "If it doesn't work, I will give you some pleasure, and I will never let you suffer from fragments." He squinted at Zuo Nianyuan, with a sharp light in his eyes.

Zuo Nianyuan looked over as if he was aware, and Liu Sanqi hurriedly lowered his head and made a move.

Zuo Nianyuan only said that the villagers were simple and honest, and did not dare to look directly at Shangguan, so he smiled at him. In his eyes, Liu Sanqi was smart and brave, and was a rare brave general. Pirates were rampant everywhere, and many villages and fields were destroyed. If everyone could survive this war and Liu Sanqi had nowhere to live, no matter whether he was willing to join the army or farm, he could take care of him, which would be considered a confidant.

"It's better to be broken than to be a complete one!" Zuo Nianyuan licked his dry and cracked lips and silently said, "The shortness of life is like a white horse passing by, and morality is not for Yao, nor for Jie, and forever! Therefore, sacrificing life for righteousness is to give up the short life for a while, and devote himself to the righteousness of eternity. Although this body is martyred, the soul and the righteousness will be together, and the fire will be passed on. After a thousand years, in the great righteousness, there is my soul in the great righteousness. I, Zuo Nianyuan, cherishes this body..." Thinking of his family members who leaned against the gate and li in the city, Zuo Nianyuan couldn't help but feel soft, and then he thought, "How can a hero be short of breath and a child have a long love for him?"

He hardened his heart and put his parents and wife out of his mind one by one, his eyes turned to awesomeness, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if an old monk had entered into meditation.

"Boom--" "Boom--" "Boom--" "Boom--"

At the Wharf of Western Australia, artillery kept spitting out flames, and round iron shells flew towards Guangzhou City in arcs.

If the shells that cross the city wall fall on the open space, a large pit will inevitably be shot out. If they fall on the roof, they will definitely penetrate straight into it. If they fall on people, they will either die or be injured. The houses of the people in the city cannot block the powerful shells. The people in the city dare not live in houses where there is no sky. They are reminded to look at the sky with a stern look all day long. Whenever the shells fly by in the air, countless people hold their heads to hide.

Even so, shrill shouts still sounded in the city from time to time.

Someone ran and shouted, "Ah——" "My mother——"

An old woman hugged the old man who was hit by a shell and cried out loud: "Come on, it's dead--"

The child hid beside the dead mother's body and cried: "Mom--I'm afraid..."

Whether it was day or night, the cannons did not stop for a moment, and the cannons brought great panic and pressure to both sides.

People in Guangzhou were constantly killed and injured by shells, and shells on the top of the city continued to land near the Wharf of Western Australia.

Although the shells on the front of the city were not accurate due to the distance, no one could say that once they were in trouble, they would end up with a ball of meat paste. Therefore, most pirates would rather stay on the boat and sleep a little far away from the front of the city. After bargaining, the leaders of various forces sent people to fight. Famatu, the commander of the Dashi Fleet, was particularly cautious. In a few days, the Dashi people participated in the attack on Nansi. However, Qiu Darui and Famatu reached an agreement to use the Dashi warriors as elites. Whenever the Song pirates fought with the official army, the Dashi pirates suddenly waved their scimitars and rushed out. The Song army was caught off guard, and they often suffered heavy casualties, which also shocked other pirates.

After repeated bloody battles, the Song army outside the city suffered heavy casualties, their morale became increasingly depressed, and their resistance became weaker and weaker...
