The Song army is about to attack Huining Mansion!

As the soldiers who returned from defeat spread the news, the entire Huining Mansion knew that the Song Army was about to call, and the people in the city suddenly became nervous, and even some people at home who had the conditions

They have all started to go back to pack their things and prepare to leave Huining Mansion with their families.

After Prime Minister Zuo and the others received the news, they rushed to the palace immediately. Wanyanmin didn't say much nonsense and directly told them the current situation, and then asked: "What do you think we should do now?"

Wanyan Ariel said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. We still have 30,000 troops in the city. Including the defeated soldiers, there should be 50,000 to 60,000 troops in total. I am willing to lead them to stop the Song army and ensure that they will be defeated."

The safety of Ning Mansion."

"No!"

Prime Minister Zuo immediately said: "The Song Army's morale is now high, and they have powerful firearms in their hands. We will not gain any advantage by confronting them head-on. Instead, we will lose our troops and generals. Therefore, we cannot take the initiative to attack at this time.

We should close the city gates tightly and wait for help."

"aid!"

Wanyan Ariel said: "All our soldiers and horses have been sent out, where are the extra reinforcements to come to the rescue?"

Prime Minister Zuo said: "General Ariel seems to have forgotten that we have so many tribes in the Kingdom of Jin. Each tribe has its own tribal soldiers. The total number of tribes is hundreds of thousands. Your Majesty can immediately send someone to inform you.

These tribal chiefs, ask them to send troops immediately for reinforcements."

Wanyan Ariel said: "Prime Minister Zuo seems to have forgotten that the Song army is about to attack Huining Mansion. Even if the tribal chiefs can send troops to rescue, can we hold on for so long?"

Prime Minister Zuo said: "We have just recruited nearly 130,000 new soldiers. Although their combat effectiveness cannot be improved in a short period of time, it is still possible to let them defend the city. Moreover, we have sufficient food and grass in the city. As long as we can persist for two or three

By the end of the day, reinforcements will arrive.

And if we take the initiative to attack, once we are unable to deal with the Song army and are wiped out by the Song army, then there will really be no way to defend Huining Mansion."

Seeing this, Wanyan Ariel clasped his fists and said to Wanyan Min: "Your Majesty, I have absolute confidence that I can stop the Song army. I beg your Majesty to immediately issue an order for me to lead the troops to stop the Song army."

"Wanyan Hongzhen, Wanyan Hezhen, and Wanyanyi are not the bravest generals of the three armies. Even they were not able to stop the Song army. How can General Ariel dare to say that he can definitely stop the Song army?"

Wanyan Ariel opened his eyes and said, "Based on my years of experience in fighting."

"None of the generals sent by His Majesty to resist the Song Army had more than ten years of combat experience, but so what was the result? They were all defeated at the hands of the Song Army. Why do you think that your experience can resist them?

Are you staying with the Song army?" Prime Minister Zuo asked.

Wanyan Ariel didn't want to argue with Prime Minister Zuo anymore. He lifted up his hem and knelt in front of Wanyan Min. He clasped his fists again and said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to use my head as a guarantee. If I can't resist the Song army, I am willing to put my life on the line."

Offer it up."

"If the Song army attacks Huining Mansion, what's the use of cutting off your head? Do you want His Majesty to take this risk with you?" Prime Minister Zuo said.

"you……"

"Okay, don't argue anymore!"

Wan Yanmin shouted angrily: "Now is the time to push forward, and you are still arguing. I don't want to listen to your arguments now, but I want you to come up with feasible solutions."...

Prime Minister Zuo said: "Your Majesty, the current situation no longer allows us to hesitate any longer. Please hurry up and close the city gates as ordered. At the same time, send troops to notify the various tribes and the garrison guards of other cities, and quickly lead the troops to rescue."

"Your Majesty, minister..."

As soon as Wanyan Ariel opened his mouth to speak, Wanyan Min stretched out his left hand to stop him. Then he thought about it for two seconds and said, "Immediately send people to notify the defenders of each tribe and city, and ask them to lead their troops forward immediately.

Come for reinforcements. At the same time, close the city gates and let all the soldiers who have just been recruited into the army disperse to the four cities to defend the city. If anyone dares to slack off, I will kill him.

The whole family."

"I will send troops immediately to convey the message."

Prime Minister Zuo turned around and left. Wanyan Min immediately said to Wanyan Ariel: "Go and arrange the defense of the city immediately. Don't let the Song army come in under any circumstances."

Wanyan Ariel originally wanted to persuade Wanyan Min to send him out of the city to fight, but seeing that Wanyan Min had already made a decision, and in such a firm tone, leaving no room for negotiation, he did not dare to say that the leader

After his death, he also retreated.

Wan Yanmin looked at the civil and military officials present and said: "Now is the most critical time for our Kingdom of Jin. I hope you can overcome this difficulty with me. As long as you can tide over this difficulty with me, in the future I will

I will definitely not treat you badly, but if anyone dares to be scheming at this time, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. Do you hear me clearly?"

"I have heard clearly. I will definitely defend Huining Mansion to the death with Your Majesty and never let the Song army invade." All civil and military officials said in unison.

Wan Yanmin then said: "Go down now and prepare all the materials needed to defend the city, and then send people to places close to the city gate for use by the soldiers defending the city."

"yes."

After the civil and military officials left, Wanyan Min took a look at Wanyan Yi, who was seriously injured lying on the ground, and asked people to carry him down for treatment. Then he came to the main hall where the portraits of his ancestors were hung, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and prayed: "

Dear ancestors, the Kingdom of Jin has reached a critical moment of life and death. I hope you have spirits in heaven to protect the Kingdom of Jin from this crisis."

In the past, Wan Yanmin never believed the lies that his ancestors would bless him, because he had absolute confidence in himself and believed that there was no difficulty that he could not overcome in this world, and there was no need to rely on the blessings of his deceased ancestors.

However, now he has no confidence in whether he can hold Huining Mansion, so he can only pray to his ancestors.

After the order was given, the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately closed the city gate. Those who were lining up and preparing to escape from the city all cried in despair when they saw this.

"Why are you crying? Do you want to curse the Kingdom of Jin to be destroyed soon?" A general looked at the crying people and shouted, scaring those people into shutting up quickly.

The general didn't dare to cry anymore when he saw them, and then said: "We are about to fight the Song Army. You'd better stay at home and don't go out, otherwise you may be regarded as the Song Army's female servants."

Catch him carefully. Go home immediately, but you are not allowed to come out until it is over."

Those people immediately hurried back to their homes and closed the doors, and soon there was no one on the street.

After about five or six minutes, tens of thousands of soldiers came from each direction of the city. These soldiers were the new recruits they had just captured. The general sent some of the new soldiers to the city walls, and the veterans with rich combat experience and

The remaining recruits were all stationed under the city wall so that they could support them at any time.

In a large house in the city, Sa Jiang, Nian Kesu Ti, and Xue Yuanhui gathered together to discuss something.

"Master Hua has led his troops to fight. Now everyone in the city has gone back to their homes and closed their doors. There is no one on the street. I think we can take action." Sa Jiang said.

Xue Yuanhui said: "In this way, we first go to the gunpowder rod manufacturing place, control it, use gunpowder to make gunpowder barrels, and then we will split up and use the gunpowder barrels to deal with the defenders guarding the four cities."

"Okay, everything will follow the general's instructions." Sa Jiang said.

After making the decision, they immediately left the house and went to the gunpowder stick manufacturing place. Since all the soldiers were now concentrated at the four city gates, there were no patrol soldiers in the city, and the people were closed at home.

So they arrived at the place where the gunpowder sticks were made very smoothly.

Because they had inquired about the situation of the guards at the Gunpowder Stick Manufacturing Office in advance and knew the front door, back door, left door, right door and how many soldiers were patrolling, so when they arrived, they first killed the soldiers responsible for patrolling.

Then they put on their clothes, and Sa Jiang and Nian Ke Suti each led some people to kill the defenders at the left and right doors, and then entered the gunpowder stick manufacturing place and controlled all the people inside.

got up and finally guarded the back door and front door

The soldiers at the gate were tricked into killing him, thus taking complete control of the gunpowder stick manufacturing place.

"Ah, there are so many gunpowder sticks and gunpowder!" Xue Yuanhui said in surprise when he saw the warehouse filled with gunpowder sticks and gunpowder.

Sa Jiang said: "This place is an important place for manufacturing gunpowder sticks, so the gunpowder prepared is particularly sufficient, so there is a large reserve."

Xue Yuanhui nodded slightly and said, "Let's not waste any more time. Let's quickly find a bucket to make a powder keg."

"good."

Everyone found an empty wooden barrel together, poured gunpowder into it and started making gunpowder barrels. At this moment, a soldier ran in and said to Xue Yuanhui: "There are Jin Army soldiers outside who are extracting gunpowder sticks. What should I do?"

Sa Jiang, Nian Kesu Ti all looked at Xue Yuanhui immediately, and Xue Yuanhui asked: "How many people are there?"

"More than two hundred people," the soldier said.

"General, you can bring them in and deal with them. This is what we did when we captured Jizhou and Puzhou." Sa Jiang said.

Xue Yuanhui said: "Okay, then bring them all in."

After the soldiers left, Xue Yuanhui and the others were immediately ready to take action.

After a while, the soldiers brought the people in. Xue Yuanhui and others swarmed up and attacked them without any explanation. The Jin Army soldiers quickly drew their swords and tried to resist. However, Xue Yuanhui and the others were several times more numerous than them, so there was basically no formation of any

Effective resistance will be killed.

Although many soldiers screamed before they died, because the place where they took action was far away from the front yard, and there was no one outside, no one heard them.

"Ignore these corpses and start making a powder keg quickly," Xue Yuanhui said.

"yes."

Everyone immediately started making powder keg again.

Just when they were making the gunpowder barrel, Hua Ju led the army to a place less than ten miles away from Huining Mansion, and then immediately sent Gao Zhan, Sun An, and Bian Xiang to divide their troops into Beicheng, Nancheng and Dongcheng to prepare for the attack.

He himself led the troops to attack Xicheng.

After Gao Zhan, Sun An, and Bian Xiang left with their troops, Hua Ju waited for more than ten minutes, and then prepared to lead his troops to move forward. But at this time, Liu Shun pointed to the distance of the northwest road.

Said: "Sir, General Lu and his friends are here."
