Although he was dissatisfied with Di Qing's arrangement, Di Qing was the commander of the attack after all, and even the officials listened to his opinions on military matters, so Zhao Li, the deputy commander of the pro-health department, naturally had nothing to say.

He and Li Jiu parted ways outside Wangyun County, and when he left, Li Jiu also said that Di Qing must have his reasons for such an arrangement, Zhao Li was obedient to his brother's words, he Zhao Li was not very smart, but one thing he knew was that stupid people should follow behind smart people, so that they would not go the wrong way, and he Li Jiu was a smart person, and so was Peng Qi, so Zhao Li could not be convinced by Di Qing in his heart, but he would definitely obey Di Qing's dispatch in action.

Since he arrived in front of Yangcheng, he naturally will no longer harshly criticize the soldiers, maintaining good physical strength and spirit is indispensable in siege warfare, although there is no artillery support, but looking at the Mo knife hand in the carriage, he still can't help laughing.

Mo knife hand! These are the essence of the Great Song Dynasty infantry, once put into the battlefield, it is the invincible king of foot combat!

Zhao Li had long wanted to have a fierce army like Mo Dao Hand to fight, originally he proposed it to Di Qing with apprehension, who would have thought that Di Qing would actually give him the Tiger Talisman Seal that mobilized Mo Dao Hand without saying a word.

Did you say it right? Mo Daoist is not only suitable for plain combat, but also suitable for siege warfare?

But soon the lieutenant of the back army denied his idea: "General, here is a cart of gunpowder, please inspect it!" ”

A cart of gunpowder, a whole cart of gunpowder! Zhao Li's hair exploded, he knew the power of this thing, if he blew it up, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to find the bones......

"How did this gunpowder break the city? Even if you drag a cart of gunpowder bullets, it's better than this! ”

The captain took a yellow package, the outside was wrapped in several layers of jute cloth and cotton thread, and a lead was exposed to the outside swaying with the evening breeze, as if it would be ignited at any time, and Zhao Li's eyes were straight when he saw it.

"General, the gunpowder in this thing can make ten gunpowder bullets, but all of them are wrapped here, and if they are put into a confined space, they will produce a violent explosion, which is unimaginably powerful, and it is really a weapon to break the city!"

Seeing the captain's eyes, Zhao Li coughed dryly: "Well, very good, you are just going to use this thing to break through the walls of Yangcheng?" If you're not as powerful as you say, watch your flesh and skin! There is no joke in the army, since General Di sent you here......"

The captain shook his head: "The last general was not sent by Di Shuai, but by the official family!" The last general of the firearms battalion Sima, Li Kedi! ”

When it came to the firearms battalion, Zhao Li was surprised and couldn't close his mouth, he had only seen the firearms battalion once, that was when he was the prince in the official family, more than a dozen sounds like fried beans, the official firearms battalion killed a "fairy" Lu Dongbin was beaten into a stopper, although he did not die in the end, but he was seriously injured even if he was wearing thick armor.

After so many years, the most famous of those firearms is the gunpowder bullets that are widely circulated in the army, and I don't know what other powerful things they have.

"It turned out to be a brother of the firearms battalion, why didn't you say it earlier, it really shouldn't have been a worry to make the general worry plainly, we are also former colleagues, and we have guarded the official family together, isn't it ......"

Li Kedi showed an elegant smile and said: "What the general said is that the people in the pro-health division are all from the original prince Sanwei, and we are also old acquaintances, the general can be suspicious of Di Shuai, but don't be suspicious of his own brothers!" ”

Zhao Li coughed embarrassedly, this Li Kedi was accusing him of suspecting Di Qing just now, so he could only stubbornly say: "Brother is too worried, this general is just worried, and he is not suspicious of Di Shuai, his method of using troops is really wonderful, and no one in the Great Song Dynasty can beat the battle formation, it is too late for me to admire, how can I be jealous!" It's just that you also know that I want to capture Yangcheng, and Di Shuai only gave you help, and I began to be naturally worried, after all, I dare not slack off with the emperor's order? ”

Li Kedi smiled: "If this is the case, then the general will be relieved, and he will ask General Zhao to cooperate at night!" ”

Zhao Li nodded again and again: "Polite, polite, are all for the official family, come and come, eat first, eat at night before you have the strength to attack the city, recently I have read a lot of military books, and General Di has learned what art of arguing the sky, tonight the wind is high, there must be dark clouds to cover the moon, it is a godsend!" ”

Li Kedi forgot to glance at Zhao Li in surprise, he didn't expect that a rough person like him would also start reading military books............

For Zhao Li, it is not a good idea to bury a pot outside Yangcheng to make rice, who knows if the Khitans in the city will rush out of the city to attack the camp?

A few pieces of dry and hard compressed military rations, even with a sharp horizontal knife to cut, but as long as you soak it in hot water, it will soon become a bowl of sweet and salty paste, Zhao Li casually sprinkled some sesame seeds and nuts and other things into the paste, and suddenly the taste of the military rations was raised, the fragrance was sweet, and the sweetness was a little salty that stimulated the tongue, making the original paste more delicious.

Zhao Li lay down on the tarpaulin tent to rest after eating, and the soldiers who followed him also explained this, and the soldiers of the firearms battalion sat together relaxed and imagined the future.

Li Kedi smiled, it seems that people who have followed the official family are like this, the more they relax before the war, and their nerves will be tense later!

Sure enough, when Mo Youzi was in power, Zhao Li and his own soldiers turned over, and the entire military camp began to wake up, but everyone's movements were cautious, although they were fast, there was no sound at all, not even the sound of talking, except for the friction of clothes, even the collision of weapons and armor could not be heard.

Zhao Li's military order was passed down through a complex equal sign, this is the soldier brought out by Di Qing, a simple light can make each soldier clear about his task and position, this is a good habit developed by long-term training, whenever he sees the light and flag, the back of the army will habitually respond, this is the most rare thing.

The main goal of tonight is to blast the city walls, and the time is also chosen before sunrise, which is the time when people are most tired and sleepy, and the army is the easiest to achieve.

The black night is like a black cloak shrouded in the body of the Beiwei army, the heavy breath seems to have become even the sky has become the bottom of the cloud, the moon is shrouded without a trace of light, the black night makes people's eyes blind, the hooves of the Beiwei army are covered with thick cotton cloth covers, the horse's mouth is crowned, and an army like a ghost slowly advances towards Yangcheng.

When a white belly appeared in the east of the sky, Zhao Li did not hesitate to lead the Beiwei army to speed up and charge towards the city gate......
