The battle for the breakthrough was under the rapid attack of the Song army. The defenders who left the city had no support, and the more they fought, the more they fought, and the more they fought, they quickly lost their impact and were pressed back into the car formation. However, the Song army was forced to explode continuously with explosives, and the defenders who had lost their protection were beaten into sieves in a blink of an eye.

Although the husbands who blocked the gap had tried their best, the piled earth bags were still intensified and strengthened, they were blown up again. The Song army flocked into the city without waiting for the aftermath to dissipate. Dong Shibiao dispatched the reserve team to try to expel the Song army entering the city, but it was already difficult to do so. He used grenades to open the way and did not fight them in close combat. He repelled the rushing defenders again and again, gradually stabilizing the breakthrough.

Dong Shidiao continued to fight back, but He still found it difficult to expel the Song army, and the situation was still deteriorating. The Song army's troops continued to increase at the breakthrough point. They began to climb up to the city along the collapsed city wall, grab the commanding heights, establish positions, and develop in depth. The defenders on the city were unable to take care of each other under the attack, and the siege of the Song army took the opportunity to climb to the city.

When the city wall was lost, Dong Shibiao realized that the city was broken was inevitable, and he overestimated the loyalty of the soldiers to the Dong family. They either surrendered or chased and fled down the city. The generals tried to stop and were killed by them. As the Song army in the lower city opened the city gate and cleared the obstacles blocking the city, more Song army rushed into the city.

"Retreat!" Dong Shibiao knew that he was powerless to turn the world back, so he could only order to retreat into the streets and lead the remaining soldiers to fight the enemy in street battles, allowing the Song army's corpses to cover the streets and drain the last drop of blood.

Fortunately, the Song army may have readjusted the deployment and did not follow and pursue, which gave Dong Shibiao a chance to breathe. The situation in the city was not optimistic. Due to the bombardment of Song army rockets, many houses were damaged, but fortunately they were prepared in advance.

Since the Song army might fire "combustion bombs" such as fireballs, if the defenders ignore fire prevention work, the consequences will be unimaginable. Because most of the houses in the city are wood and thatched houses, it is very easy to burn when the fire occurs. Once the fire catches, it will spread quickly, and the city will immediately fall into a sea of ​​fire, and the result will be defeated without fighting.

Therefore, the most important thing in fire prevention is to add enough water sources in areas where the fire is difficult to control. When renovating city defense, Dong Wenzhi required that each city gate must be equipped with two water bags. The water bags are made of fur from cows, horses and animals, and generally can store three or four stones of water. Water tanks and other water storage devices are also arranged on the city to obtain water and extinguish the fire in a timely manner.

He stressed with great difficulty that the people should "paint mud and fire-proof" and "prepare more water tools" in the house, and even asked to dig a well every 100 steps to prepare for it. The straw and straw that were piled up in the past were all scattered as much as possible, and every household had water tanks filled with water, and Baojia organized a fire-fighting team and a tool for extinguishing fires.

The original preparations gave them room to deal with the Song army. Dong Shibiao did not dare to neglect the situation when he entered the city, so he quickly collected the remaining troops and re-allocated them. But what frustrated him was that there were only thousands of troops who could gather. Among them, except for the family soldiers personally led by the children of the clan, there were only those vassals who could not escape the relationship with the Dong family, as well as those brave and brave soldiers who were brought in.

As for those refugees who only want to have a full meal, the brave men under heavy rewards and ordinary people in the city, they either became cannon fodder under the guns and cannons of the Song army, or they were abandoned, and they all took advantage of the chaos to escape or hide. But Dong Shibiao took this indifferently. This is the case with human nature. Dong's family was able to ascend to the sky by stepping on the Jin Dynasty that was about to collapse, and he could not ask those who had received his own little favors to work hard.

The city of Gaocheng is not big, and is divided into several areas by two horizontal and two vertical tic-shaped roads. It is centered on the county government and is surrounded by shops and restaurants. It is the most prosperous place in the city and the place where the powerful people live. The mansion of Dong's family occupies the most extensive area. This area is divided into streets and alleys of large and small by houses, as dense as spider webs, making it difficult for outsiders to distinguish between things and places.

At this time, this place has become the main battlefield for street fighting. Horse-resistance is arranged at each intersection, and barricades are built with earth bags, layer by layer as dense as a ridge of fields, making it difficult for war horses to gallop and lose their place of marching. There are ambushers at the entrance of the alley, roofs and attics are also archers. The Song army's large gangs are crowded together, and they will only be passively beaten.

Dong Shibiao climbed to Songhe Restaurant, which is a four-story building, the tallest building in the city, and the surrounding situation is clear at a glance. At this time, the restaurant was empty, and the owner and the waiter had hidden somewhere. He looked around and saw that the Song army brigade had entered the city, but they did not launch a rash attack, but instead arranged artillery positions on the top of the city to clear the battlefield.

"Hmph, false benevolence and righteousness!" When Dong Shibiao saw the Song army evacuating the fleeing people and escorting them out of the city, he couldn't help but snorted coldly. He knew that the Song army did this to avoid hurting the people by accident, and to prevent them from fighting to the death when they were desperate. His actions were obviously more popular than the "kidnapping" behavior of closing four doors to strictly prohibit the people from leaving the city.

"Young Master!"

"Dong Yong, what happened? Why are you here?" Dong Shibiao asked in surprise when he saw Dong Yong.

"Young lord, the lord insisted on staying in the county yard and refused to leave. He ordered the yamen runners and us to assist the young lord in defending the city, and then he found this place!" Dong Yong replied.

"Did my father stay in the county government alone?" Dong Shibiao became anxious when he heard this.

"No, Mr. Ling He is accompanying you!" Dong Yong replied.

"Father is determined to die for his country..." Dong Shibiao said sadly, but after a moment he calmed down and asked him again, "How many people are there with you?"

"There are about 200 people!" Dong Yong thought for a moment and asked.

"Okay, then stay here to help me!" Dong Shibiao nodded.

"Yes, my subordinates will live up to the lord's entrustion and fight the Southern Dynasty to the end, and never stop until death!" Dong Yong said in a deep voice.

"Well! Although the Song army broke through the city defense, we still have the power to fight. It has not passed since then, and it will be dark for more than an hour. They just opened their eyes and were blind. At that time, the city will be our world!" Dong Shibiao patted his shoulder and said.

"Yes, the city has dense houses and many alleys. We don't have to confront them head-on. We just need to hide in it and attack them secretly. No matter how many of their men are, they will die in the city!" Dong Yong nodded and said.

"That is, although the Song army is sharp in firearms, it is not good at melee combat. We only fight with them in close combat, and the crossbowmen hide in the dark to kill. As long as they can't bear the casualties, they will withdraw their troops." Dong Shibiao thought it was authentic.

"Young master, the enemy has begun to attack!" At this time, a sentry reported.

"Transfer the order, stick to the important places, and do not retreat without authorization. Those who violate the order will be killed!" Dong Shibiao walked to the window and looked out, and saw a group of soldiers from the Song army advancing from the outside to the center of the city along the main street. He immediately ordered that the order immediately notify the orders of the orders in the flag language.

The attacking Song army did not launch a strong attack with a large group of troops as they thought. Instead, the front army quickly unfolded after entering the streets and divided into several squads. They each occupied the streets and covered each other's closer together. When a defender was blocking the barricade, they would suppress it with muskets, cover the bomb droppers to get closer, and throw grenades to cover the attack of the rear team.

After controlling the main road, the rear army immediately followed up to seize the commanding heights such as roofs and high houses, observed the terrain, commanded various departments, killed the exposed defenders, and covered the front army to continue attacking forward. The subsequent brigade of troops entered the lanes on the left and right roads as units to clean up the houses. When there was a house, they first dropped bombs into the house, and then broke into the door to search.

Once the Song army attacking along the main road is blocked and penetrates into the tunnel, the small street teams will detour to the side and back of the defenders. When there is a house, high walls block the road and immediately blast them, break the house and demolish the walls, and break through the hall. Once the defenders find that the rear road is broken, they will be wiped out and have to retreat. In this way, the barricades will lose their function and it is even more difficult to stop the Song army's attack.

Dong Shibiao saw it clearly from a condescending place, his heart was filled with sadness and helplessness. All his preparations became useless under the Song army's weapons. The house, as a hiding place, was no match for a grenade, the high walls and strong walls could not resist the bombardment of a few shells.

Their soldiers were not unheroic, but the iron armor on their bodies could not block a small projectile, and they fell under the spear without close enough martial arts. Those archers with hundreds of steps of ability to penetrate Yang used their strength to shoot an arrow at a distance that was not as far as the enemy's fingers shot... What they used to be proud of in front of the Song army's firearms became a joke.

"Dong's family is over, Dayuan is over..." Dong Shibiao looked at the sunset that had just fallen on the horizon in the west, looked at the corpses covered with streets, many of whom were his brothers and nephews, and then looked at the approaching Song soldiers. The explosions were getting closer and closer in his ears, and he sighed to the sky.

"Young master, the county government has caught fire. The lord has burned himself to death for his country!" Dong Yong murmured at the fire rising from the sky in the north.

"There is also a fire in the mansion!" Dong Shibiao also saw a flash of fire in the Dong Mansion compound on the east side of the county government. It was obvious that the Song army had already broken into the center of the city. His father saw the Song army entering the county government to light fire and burn himself. The women and children in the mansion were unwilling to be captured and humiliated, and then set fire to the house and committed suicide by throwing fire.

"Young Master, what should I do?" Dong Yong looked at Dong Shibiao and asked.

"How can I live alone in the world if the country is destroyed? But we can't let the Southern Dynasty underestimate our Dong family. I'm willing to follow me downstairs and kill the enemy!" Dong Shibiao wiped his tears, looked at Dong Yong, and glanced at the soldiers on the building and asked loudly.

"I would like to follow the young master to kill the enemy!" the soldiers responded loudly.

"Okay, I'm a vanguard, you can follow me!" Dong Shibiao went downstairs first, drew his sword and shouted in his hand to kill the enemy facing him.
