The war between the two armies of Song and Liao is in full swing, and no one on the battlefield at this time cares about any justice, and no one cares about what is right or not.

Zhao Zhen did not show all the strength in his hands, the Liao people had already surrounded the Xijin Mansion, and kept searching for the encirclement, Yelu Zong was really smart, he wanted to trap Zhao Zhen and the 100,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty in the Xijin Mansion.

Although Da Song, who is on the defensive side, is quite well prepared, your grain and grass will always be consumed, right? Moreover, there are not only forbidden troops in the city, but also hundreds of thousands of people, Xijin Mansion used to be Nanjing of the Liao Dynasty, and there were no less than 150,000 people in it, and the amount of grain and grass consumed every day was amazing, plus the 100,000 army of the Great Song Dynasty, the population of Xijin Mansion was already 250,000 people.

The biggest effect of the siege is to consume the enemy's grain and grass, and the Liao army has brought a lot of food this time, and has raided to Xijin Mansion, and the surrounding towns can become the supply of the Great Liao, plus Juyong Pass, Victory, and Changping's supplement, grain and grass do not have to worry, so Yelu Zongzhen will be so fearless.

Zhang Jian was quite supportive of the emperor's plan to besiege the city, and deliberately played: "Start Your Majesty, besiege without cutting off its grain and grass, this is the best policy!" ”

Yelu Zong really smiled: "What, does Prime Minister Zuo still think that my Da Liao army and horses should retreat?" I have 200,000 troops in my hands, even if it is consumed, it will kill him Zhao Zhen! Besides, there are a lot of people in the city, how can he let the people starve in the name of a benevolent monarch? I am afraid that the grain and grass in the army will be consumed faster. It only takes half a month's effort, and the Song people will definitely mess up their own positions, and what I have to do is to break the reinforcements of the Song people! ”

Zhang Jian looked at Yelu Zongzhen in surprise, the emperor's strategy is so clever, judging the situation, it can be regarded as an old and spicy general's method, even a group of generals can hardly think of such a clever strategy.

"Your Majesty's plan is really seamless, just like Tian Ji back then, Sun Bin besieged Wei to save Zhao! It's really clever and tight, the old minister is impressed! ”

Zhang Jian is telling the truth, the generals of the Liao people are not good at scheming, but they are born to be masters of combat, if it is not difficult for them to fight a beautiful victory, but it is difficult to let them command a big battle, and now His Majesty's vision and material are so good, even if they are comparable to ancient famous generals, how can Zhang Jian not be happy.

It turned out that Yelu Zong had already mastered everything, and it was because he was so sure that he was so calm when he learned that the Great Song Emperor was not dead.

Yelu Zongzhen glanced at Zhang Jian and said incomprehensibly: "I am actually planning a plan, he Zhao Zhen lured me Da Liao to attack with a fraudulent death, then I will lead the troops according to his law, but the rest of the things are probably no longer in his Zhao Zhen's plan."

During this period of time, the feint attack has consumed a lot of slave troops, and even the Khitan warriors of my Daliao have suffered a lot of casualties, I have achieved my goal, just let the Song people continue to bear the pressure, and my Daliao Chinese army avoids but does not fight, besiege but not attack!

If you don't fight the Song army in the city, you will make a special trip to pack up the reinforcements from all walks of life, and completely besiege the Great Song Emperor in Xijin Mansion, how long can the Song people last? Once the Song people can't hold on, they will lead the hungry soldiers in their hands out of the city to fight, and the Great Song cavalry who have been hungry for a long time can be the opponent of my Khitan warriors?! ”

Yelu Sect really made Zhang Jian stunned by a series of analysis, when did Your Majesty become so wise? This is a non-war method to deal with the Song people defending the city, if it is really according to what His Majesty said, the Song people will definitely be defeated!

An army has to eat even if it is strong in combat, and how much grain and grass can the Song army besieged in Xijin Mansion have? The Song people did not plan to go out of the city to meet the battle from the beginning, otherwise the cavalry of Da Liao would have entered the city long ago.

In this era when there is no guerrilla warfare, of course, it is ahead of China, but the disadvantage of encirclement and reinforcement is that it is not flexible enough, especially in the case of the 200,000 Liao army.

After several days of siege operations, the slave army of the Liao Dynasty has been exhausted, and it has lost more than 60,000 people at once, including 20,000 or 30,000 people of the Chinese army, these people are Han and Khitan, and they can be regarded as the backbone of the Liao Dynasty.

And those 50,000 former troops composed of Jurchens, Bohai people, and Han prisoners have long disappeared without a trace, and they can only roughly find their location on the battlefield, and the lives of these people are the most worthless, so they will be called slave soldiers, even if they die, Yelu Zongzhen will not feel distressed, but feel that this is what they should be.

Life on the battlefield is so fragile, just like the most worthless thing in the world, which can be squandered and wasted, these slave soldiers consume the crossbow arrows of the Song people, consume the city defense equipment of the Song people, and even consume the strength of the Song people, and finally die as if they were still worthless as alive, and no one even thinks about them.

At this time, there was no shouting and killing outside the city of Xijin Mansion, and after a day of fighting, no one wanted to waste a little strength on meaningless things, and the occasional sound and scream on the battlefield could only startle the crows that smelled blood, and these "filial piety birds" would feed their parents with carrion on the battlefield......

The losses of the Great Song Dynasty were not as great as those of the Liao, after all, relying on the risk of the city wall and the advantage of the equipment, the defenders of the Great Song Dynasty did not suffer many casualties, only more than 10,000 people, this kind of six-to-one battle loss can be called an excellent defense, but Di Qing was a little angry.

The object of his anger was Zhao Zhen, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the emperor who originally regarded him as a confidant, the emperor who originally had the grace of knowing him, and everyone could see his anger from his cousin and attitude, Peng Qi had already glanced at him several times, and Xia Zhuquan didn't see it, only Zhao Zhen listened casually to the statistics of the number of dead and wounded in the various armies.

Di Qing, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally got up and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear, I hope Your Majesty will do it!" ”

Zhao Zhen blew after commenting on the detailed notes in the recital, looked up at Di Qing and said, "I know what you don't understand, but since you asked me, let you tell me, don't be unhappy in your heart!" ”

Di Qing frowned strangely and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know why Your Majesty didn't let our army use gunpowder bullets, and I don't know why Your Majesty let the Liao people rush to the city wall!" Otherwise, the casualties of my Song soldiers will be less than 30%! ”

Di Qing's words shocked everyone in the hall, Peng Qi shuddered for a moment and began to pretend to be dead, while Xia Zhu was shocked but expressionless in his heart, he believed that His Majesty must have done this for a reason.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Yes!" Why I'm doing this, it's not because you're too good at fighting! If you don't give the Liao people the illusion, will they send people to attack again? I got the news that the Liao people have besieged Xijin Mansion, do you know what this means? This means that the food and grass of more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians in the city will be exhausted in less than a month! ”
