Chapter 659 The Song Army of Ximen began to move forward
Chapter 659
"Let them be careful and never let the Song army have the chance to attack us." Fei Tingdarong's face looked extremely ugly. Wuyan Ancient City was too small, less than five miles long, and there was no stone in the city wall. It was made of mud and soil. How could such a city wall block the flying huge rocks?
A general next to him gathered up to Fei Tingdarong and whispered to report. "Sir, we don't need to worry too much about the Song army's sneak attack. If the Song army wants to attack the city, they have to overcome the obstacles that make people have nowhere to stay. In fact, what the last general is most worried about now is that if the Song army moves the position forward..."
"What do you mean?" Fei Tingdarong's pupils shrank when he heard this, and his expression was ugly and he looked at the general who made a fuss.
"If the Song army had mounted those weapons with a long range to the original city wall... By that time, tens of thousands of soldiers and nearly 50,000 war horses in the city would become the targets of the Song army's terrible weapons to kill randomly." The general looked a little desperate.
Fei Tingdarong took a deep breath of cold air. When he thought that the flying huge rocks would hit the head and roll around, while the Western Xia warriors could only wail in despair, Fei Tingdarong felt that his heart was tightly grabbed and hurt.
"You are... you are Mi Qinshengyong from the Mi Qin family?" Fei Tingdarong turned his head and looked at him carefully for a few glances, and finally remembered it.
"It's the last general." Mi Qinshengyong answered quickly.
"If those Song people moved the front forward, how many troops do you think we can save?" Fei Tingdarong was already a little panicked at this moment. The fighting method adopted by the Song army was too unreasonable, which made him even at a loss now.
"If the Song army really moved forward and set up a formation under the city wall, and with those long-range siege weapons, they could enter the city calmly and then use the unique divine arm crossbow of Song State to shoot towards the east of the city..."
"The men in the city either cross the river or have to fight Yu Yong and fight to the death with the Song army in the city. There are only two roads." Mi Qinshengyong said in a stern voice.
Of course there is a third way, and it is also a way of life. That is, when you see that things cannot be violated, surrendering may bring you a glimmer of hope.
However, he dared not and could not say it out loud. Otherwise, he would be punished by the general who was already extremely angry with the fact that he was punished for disrupting the morale of the army.
Fei Tingdarong issued a series of orders one after another, turned around and left, and rushed straight to the pier located east of Wuyan Ancient City.
The ancient city of Wuyan happens to occupy a pier with an excellent terrain. Now, the pier and the open space around the pier are filled with soldiers who are about to evacuate. In addition, in a pier not far from the pier, there are only hundreds of military craftsmen who are busy.
After seeing this scene, Fei Tingdarong asked, he learned that although he accelerated the crossing of the river day and night, the ice was still intermittent, so the speed was still not fast. However, from yesterday to now, more than 5,000 garrison troops have been sent to the other end of the Wuding River.
However, one of the double-decker rafts was overloaded when they approached the east bank of Wuding River, drowned more than 30 people. In addition, nearly 70 people were missing and struggling to reach the east bank, only about twenty people.
"What's the point of just casualties? It's better than letting them die like this under the huge rock thrown by the Song army." Fei Tingdarong patted the shoulder of the general who was responsible for crossing the river and told him. "Don't stop for a moment, and try to send all the remaining garrison troops to the river bank tomorrow morning."
"Sir, please rest assured, I will do my best."
After giving the order, Fei Tingdarong rushed to the place where the raft was made, and recruited the general responsible for making the double-layer rafts and asked carefully. After learning that the speed of making the raft was not optimistic.
The main reason is that the wood and manpower are insufficient now. In addition, the production of double-layer rafts is also difficult. There are too few skilled craftsmen and lack many tools.
"...If there is not enough wood, I will demolish the house. If there is not enough manpower, I personally dispatch people to you. In any case, every day I will see at least two new double-decker rafts going into the water. If I can't do it, I want your head."
When the general in charge of shipbuilding heard this, he saw the gloomy faces of the generals who followed him, and he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart and nodded heavily. "Old men have a life, and the younger ones will definitely try to build them as much as possible, but at least eight hundred people are needed. In addition, if you need it so urgently, you may have a problem with your firmness."
"No matter what, you can do it. You are a great achievement, do you understand?"

After all the matters were handled, Fei Tingdarong returned to his residence with his exhausted body. In addition, several major generals were left behind, as well as the Mi Qinshengyong, who had just attracted his attention.
"Now, the Song army is really overwhelming, but our army has experienced several days of suffering. Now it is exhausted and has a very low morale. Even if we want to fight, it is impossible to win and lose with the Song army."
"The only thing that is fortunate is that at this time, we have already crossed the river with 3,000 wounded soldiers and 15,000 garrison troops. There are still more than 30,000 in the city. Before, I thought that if the Song people wanted to launch an offensive, they would at least wait until our army retreated halfway..."
"But it seems that the Song people will not let us feel so relaxed. You are all the elites of my Daxia and the ministers of the pillars. Now, I wonder if you have any good ideas?"
After hearing Fei Ting Darong's words, a group of generals and two of them looked at each other, and they could not come up with any better solutions.
"I thought that in this situation, the only way to let the soldiers hide between the ruins and the ruins, try to delay the pace of the Song army's attack, and buy time for us to cross the river."
"Yes, I'm afraid that's all, but I feel that now, the ancient city of Wuyan is too dangerous. Please quickly move it to the east bank of Wuding River." Mi Qinshengyong said loudly.
Hearing this, the generals all looked at Fei Tingdarong. An ugly bitter smile appeared on Fei Tingdarong's face. "Ten thousand children are still in the city. If I leave at this time, I will be a escaping act."
The generals advised him for a long time, but Fei Tingdarong was stubborn and unwilling to leave. "Okay, I understand your feelings. I must not mention this matter again. If anyone mentions it again, I should deal with it for the crime of disrupting the morale of the army."
