Starting with Jin Yong's martial arts

After entering the city behind, Lin Heng immediately asked his subordinates to count the personnel and find out the losses.Soon, the people below came back, he told Lin Heng.In these two battles, the army killed more than 3000 people and injured more than 5000 people.The huge number of casualties made Lin Heng's face ugly. He asked Mongolia's losses again and asked their professional people to estimate them.The man thought for a while and gave his answer.

More than 5000 people and less than 5000 people.

This is the number they estimated. According to the actual situation, Song Jun should be happy with this result, but Lin Heng is not happy.Originally, there were many Mongols, but now they died less, and the advantage of the Song army was almost exhausted. How will the battle be carried out in the future?

"My lord, Master Guo and Mrs. Guo are back!"

Lin Heng nodded, got up together with Qigong and walked outside the city to meet Guo Jing and Huang Rong.When they left, there were more than 3000 disciples of the beggar gang, but after returning, less than 2000 of them were scattered.This time, the beggar gang also suffered heavy losses, not to mention the more than 4000 people lost by Guo Jing, even Qigong himself lost [-] people.Although there are many beggars, they are not an army, so they can't afford such a loss.

After thinking for a while, Lin Heng said to Qigong: "Qigong, this time the beggar gang suffered too much loss, and the future battles will be in the city, and there will be no need for the beggar gang disciples. I think so, you let Lu gang leader Take away all the disciples of the beggar gang."

"What are you talking about?" Hong Qigong glared at Lin Heng with some displeasure, and said, "My beggar gang has always been known for its chivalry, and this time it is even more important to help Da Song with all the strength of the gang. At this time When life and death are at stake, how can we go first?"

Hearing what else Lin Heng could say, he sighed and said, "If that's the case, please ask Master Hong and Mrs. Guo to lead the disciples of the Beggar Society outside."

"Didn't I say that..." Qigong was furious, and slapped his palm on the table. Fortunately, Huang Rong was smart and stopped Qigong, saying: "You mean to let us learn how you dealt with Mongolia the first time." Human methods, harassing the Mongols outside and killing their vital forces.”

Lin Heng nodded and said: "Outside, the disciples of the beggar gang can exert a lot of power, but they are not as good as sergeants in defending the city. Now, the Mongols have not arrived yet, and it is the best choice for you to go out. Of course, This is not your primary task. Your primary task is to send all the people in the city who are willing to leave to Xiangyang, and at the same time secretly dig a tunnel as a retreat for the army."

"Okay, I'll go with Qigong now!" Huang Rong nodded, and pulled Qigong outside.Seeing them leave, Lin Heng heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head to Guo Jing and said, "Brother Guo, the next step is our business. Now there are more than 4 troops in the city, and there are too many people for this city. I I hope you will lead half of the people and the residents of the city to leave with Qigong and others."

"Brother Lin, you..." Guo Jing didn't expect that Lin Heng wanted to stay alone, and his heart was a little shaken.

Lin Heng smiled at him and said, "Brother Guo, don't worry. I'll be fine. This time, I plan to set fire to Nanyang again. If I'm lucky, the Mongols can be eliminated with a big fire, even if If it can’t be solved, it will kill a lot of their vitality. Besides, I have already ordered people to dig tunnels, Qigong and Mrs. Guo will also dig tunnels outside, and the Mongols can’t trap us.”

"Okay. Brother Lin said so, and I, Guo Jing, are not hypocritical!" Guo Jing got up and clasped his fists, but Lin Heng immediately grabbed him again and told him, "Brother Guo, you must prepare four boulders when you go out this time. When the city is on fire, seal the four gates and seal the Mongols here."

"Brother Lin, don't worry, I understand!" Guo Jing cupped his fists again, turned and left.

After a while, Lin Heng was the only one left in the hall.He sat there, sighing slightly.This time, it was a battle to defend the city, and it must have been a miserable fight at the beginning, hoping to retain some more vitality.

In the evening of the same day, Meng Ge's army came. Because it was already dark, they did not attack the city immediately, but had people surround the city. According to Lin Heng's visual inspection, at least [-] people were placed at each city gate. It is obviously impossible for Lin Heng to break out of the Mongolian army.Fortunately, he is smart and knows how to use the tunnel, otherwise he would really be trapped here to death.

The city has become quite deserted. Those who can leave have left, and the rest are unwilling to leave. They don't want to leave, and Lin Heng has nothing to do, but if the city is burned, those people will definitely be buried with them.Some people may say that Lin Heng is cruel, but in order to deal with the Mongols, he couldn't care less.

"General Wang, how is the tunnel digging going?" Lin Heng stood on the city wall and asked the general beside him.

General Wang clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to the general, we dug 35 tunnels together according to the general's wishes, of which only three can lead to the outside of the city, and the others are connected to these three tunnels. I believe that as long as the general With one command, those of us hiding in the tunnels can turn the city into a city of fire."

Lin Heng nodded and said, "Okay. Next, you will command the army to defend the city. Remember, use more equipment to defend the city, and save lives as long as you can."

"Yes!" General Wang Shou took over the general order and immediately began to assign the task of defending the city, while Lin Heng asked someone to move a chair and sat leisurely on the top of the city.He is the chief general, he cannot leave here, otherwise he will definitely go back to his room to rest.

After a night of preparation, the Mongolian army began to attack the city on the second day.With the number of Mongolians, they will not conduct feints, but attack from all sides.Lin Heng had expected this, so there were more than 2 people in the city, and he allocated 5000 people to each gate, of which 3000 were guarding the city, 2000 were the reserve team, and the rest were either digging tunnels or setting up various A trap, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to the Mongols.

There is nothing to say about defending the city station. The Mongols attacked, and the Song army used various methods to defend.Trebuchets, bows and arrows, rolling stones, gold water, oil, etc. were all used by them.Because this was the first day, the Song army had enough numbers and preparations, and when there was no danger, they easily defended the town and killed a large number of Mongols.However, they also suffered a lot of casualties, and more than 3000 people died in total.

This is only the first day, and I believe that the casualties will be even greater on the second day, but there is no way, this is the defense of the city.

The next day, the defenders of the city still inflicted a large number of casualties on the Mongolian army. Countless Mongolian soldiers died under the city wall, and the Song army also sent more than 5000 casualties.Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Mongolian army kept attacking the city. Relying on their large numbers, they took over the attack again and again, which caused great fatigue to the Song army.

It can be said that without Lin Heng's prepared reserve team, the city might be breached today.Today, the city is defended, but the defense team is also exhausted.If the Mongolian army still attacked like this the next day, it would be very difficult for the Song army to defend.

On the third day, the Mongolian army did not change their attack strategy, but what was even more extreme was that they launched an attack during meal time to prevent the Song army from resting for a moment, while the Mongolian army took advantage of the change of troops. Time, some news.

In the afternoon, Song Jun was really exhausted, and a lot of supplies for defending the city were consumed because of Lin Heng's words.He knew that the city could not be defended.

"General Wang, you send an order to the various city walls, telling them to prepare to shrink their troops and retreat to the government office!"

"Yes!"

Withdrawal is necessary, but how to withdraw is also a science.In order to prevent the Mongolian army from finding out what was wrong with the city, Lin Heng asked the army to defend the city with all their strength, but the reserve team did not need to go, but waited until the Mongolian army attacked the city wall, gathered the defeated soldiers, and retreated to the mansion together. Ya.

The Mongolian army seemed to see the exhaustion of the Song army, and the attack became stronger and more urgent.Soon, the Song army couldn't hold it anymore, and a large Mongolian army rushed up like a tide.Lin Heng immediately ordered the army to retreat, and let the archers lie in ambush on both sides of the street, preparing to block the Mongolian army, while he himself retreated to the government office with the retreating defenders.

"My lord, this is the tunnel you ordered to dig!" Looking at the dark hole on the ground, Lin Heng nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and said to Wang Shoujiang: "Okay, now you order the army to go through the tunnel. Get out. Remember, the wounded go first!"

"Yes!"

General Wang Shou clasped his fists, and then sent an order to go.Soon, the army was divided into four groups, three groups entered three tunnels, and left the city through the tunnels, while the last group was distributed throughout the government office to guard the government office.

As the archers retreated into the government office, the Mongolian army began its final attack. Lin Heng himself could only defend the army, commanding the army to guard the government office without retreating.

What's interesting is the episode in the middle, that is, Meng Ge sent someone to recruit troops.But everyone knew that Master Lin had already prepared a way out, so they naturally wouldn't go there, so the man was beaten out, and what he got in return was the desperate attack of the Mongolian army.

"My lord, the Mongolian army has broken through the first line of defense!"

"My lord, the Mongolian army has broken through the second line of defense!"

"My lord, the Mongolian army has invaded!"

The military reports came to Lin Heng time and time again, and he listened quietly without saying a word. When he heard that the Mongolian army had invaded the mansion, he immediately ordered: "Order everyone, let them evacuate from the tunnel. Wang Shou Set it on fire!"

"Yes!" General Wang bowed to accept the order.He took a few soldiers and walked out immediately.Soon, a skyrocketing fire ignited in the government office. The fire seemed to have eyes. It burned around, surrounded the inner office, and then quickly burned out. As for the inside, although it was also on fire, it was far worse. It was so hot outside.

Covered by the fire, Song Jun quickly pushed into the tunnel. Lin Heng also entered the tunnel at the end, and at the same time took out a loud arrow and shot it into the sky.This is Lin Heng's signal.As soon as the signal was given, the Song army hiding in various tunnels in the city immediately started to set fire to it. In an instant, the fire burned all over the city, blocking the Mongolian army's approach and retreat.

The fire soaring into the sky was soon seen by Huang Rong, Guo Jing, Qi Gong and others who were ambushing outside the city. They immediately followed Lin Heng's order and blocked the city gate with big stones.It's a pity that they only blocked the gates on three sides. As for the gate where the main army was located, they couldn't get close at all, which also left a way for the Mongolian army to escape and ascend to heaven.But, this is also impossible, isn't it?
