At night, I heard the wind blew constantly, and there was no one entering the city. Amali sat in the official hall, anxious and didn't know what to do. He sent several teams of spies, but at night, no one came back. Didn't the Song army invade a large scale? The Song army that passed by during the day was the people of Zhao Zi in Yizhou who had known before? It shouldn't be that thousands of people came to fight Gaochang, and the Song army was too arrogant.

I didn't sleep all night, and the next morning, Amali felt exhausted both physically and mentally and could not stand. After entering the city yesterday, the people who were sent to Gaochang to report the news did not know if they had arrived in Gaochang. If they were not careful, they would be intercepted by the Song army halfway. However, there were two hundred miles to Gaochang, and there were many villages on the way, and someone should have gone to Gaochang to report the news.

Seeing the sun shining into the house, Amali stood up and stretched. He was afraid that the Song army would arrive in the evening and surrounded the city and say nothing all night. It seemed that today was a good day. While there was no Song army coming, he quickly harvested the unharvested wheat outside the city. The harvest of a year was collected into the city. Even if the Song army came, he could only siege the city. He would not be able to break through the city in a short time.

At this moment, a soldier came in and said with his hands crossed his hands: "City Lord, something is not good, a large group of Song troops came outside to siege the city!"

Amali was surprised: "Have you really come to the Song army? How many people have they surrounded the city?"

The soldiers said: "The Song army outside has already besieged the city. Look at the continuous arrival of people behind them, who knows how many people are!"

Amali couldn't help but feel panicked and said, "Take me to see quickly! Song Jun did this and looked down on me in Puchang City!"

The soldiers didn't say anything and thought to themselves, why should the Song army respect such a small city? Bai Tian thought that the Song army brigade was in the past. Now it seems that it was just a scout cavalry, and the main force of the Song army behind it. The Song army besieged outside could not tell how many people there were.

He hurried to the top of the building. Amali looked out and felt his head buzzing and was a little confused. At this time, there were about 2,000 people outside the city, which had surrounded Puchang City. What's more serious is that there were a steady stream of Song troops coming behind him, and I don't know how many people were.

There are less than one hundred soldiers in Puchang City. Looking at the Song army outside, I am afraid that there will be more than ten thousand people. How can I fight this battle? The Puchang City that I could have relied on has not been repaired for many years and has many damaged areas. Can it block the Song army's attack?

Zhang Ke urged him to step forward, look at the inconspicuous Puchang City in front of him, and said, "I heard from Gaochang's detective cavalry who was captured last night that there are less than one hundred soldiers and less than a thousand families in this city. There are more than 5,000 soldiers gathered here, and more troops are coming. It should be no problem to capture this city. This is the first battle since my army entered Hequ Road. The faster the better!"

Zhang Sheng, deputy envoy of the strategy, said: "This is the first battle to enter Gaochang. The better the battle, the more shock it will be to the rest of the city."

Zhang Ke nodded: "That's true! Send people to the city first and inform the imperial army to arrive, so that the city lord can quickly surrender!"

After saying that, he sent his personal soldier Liu Nan around him and brought a few people to the city to persuade him to surrender.

Looking up the building, Amali saw a few Song soldiers coming, and hurriedly turned to the side and listened to what they were saying.

When he arrived at the city, Liu Nan whispered loudly: "Zhang Ke, the commander of the Anbei Army of the Great Song Dynasty, told the leaders of the city to know. Now, he will take the army to Gaochang to restore the hometown of the Central Plains. All those who pass by will surrender! Anyone who does not surrender will be punished for the crimes!"

Amali said to the people around him: "What does this person under the city mean? I heard that we were asked to surrender, why did we surrender?"

The soldiers on the side said, "There are many people and we have few people. Naturally, we can't beat them. If we can't beat them, we should surrender."

Amali said: "What a lie! I am the lord of Puchang City. I am under the order of the king to guard this city. How could there be an army surrender when it comes!"

The soldier said: "What's the use of telling us? You have to tell people outside the city."

Amali said: "I can't fully understand what he said. How do you answer? - Go and invite Mr. Sun!"

The soldiers responded to the promise and hurriedly went downstairs to invite Mr. Sun. Mr. Sun was a Han native from the Central Plains. He heard that he had read books and was fluent in Chinese.

Liu Nan waited under the city for a while, and saw that there was no movement in the city, so he couldn't help but spat: "There are all barbarians in this city. Forget it, let's just go back. The city is very small. Build a cannon and shoot a few cannons. There, see if they surrender!"

At this moment, someone in the city shouted, "General!"

Liu Nan looked up and saw a figure appearing on the tower. He was a man in his thirties and forties, wearing Central Plains clothes and unable to see his face. He whispered loudly: "Who are you? Is the lord of the city?"

Mr. Sun said: "The Han people who were living here in the Central Plains, and the city lord is here." As he said, he pointed at Amali beside him.

Liu Nan said: "So that's the case. I don't know why I want the gentleman to come here?"

Mr. Sun bowed: "The city lord's Chinese language is not fluent. He didn't understand what the general said just now, so he was bothered to say it again."

After hearing this, Liu Nan couldn't help laughing. He thought the French soldiers on the city were tough and insisted on fighting, but he didn't expect that he couldn't understand the words of Zhongyuan. There was no way, so he had to repeat the words just now.

After hearing this, Mr. Sun explained to Amali beside him. Amali couldn't help but frown: "This place is the Western Regions and has nothing to do with the Central Plains. What hometown do they have to return to? I am the city lord. It has been here for a hundred years for generations. Why did you surrender to them?"

Mr. Sun was just a guest and could not control the affairs of Puchang City, so he had to translate Amali's words to Liu Nan outside the city.

Liu Nan whispered loudly: "This is the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The Song Dynasty inherited the Tang Dynasty and should be recovered from now on. I don't have to say anything. The city lord only said one sentence, fight or surrender? If you surrender, you will immediately open the city gate and there will be no crime in the Mid-Autumn Festival in the city. If you fight, our army will naturally surround you, so don't regret it at that time!"

Amali could understand these words and couldn't help but stretch out his head and said, "My Puchang City is here. It has been a hundred years since my family was the lord of this city. When you come, you surrounded the city without saying a word, just asking whether to fight or surrender, what is the reason?"

Liu Nan said loudly: "The city mainly talks about reason. It is time to go to the Central Plains court to talk about it! Today, the army is here, and only asks whether to fight or surrender!"

Amali was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer. There were more Song troops besieging the city outside than yesterday. Although they didn't know what their guns and cannons were useful, they could still understand the bright bayonets in front of the infantry guns. Such large armies came up one after another, and even stepped on Puchang City, how could they be defended? There were less than a hundred people in the city, and Amali was so scared that they were against such a large army.

But after that, Amali couldn't hold back his face. After thinking about it, he didn't know how to answer.

Liu Nan looked at the city and whispered loudly: "It seems that the city lord is going to fight! That's good, please prepare properly!"

After saying that, a group of horses and the soldiers behind him returned to Zhang Ji's army. Amali saw it in the watchtower and didn't know what to do.
