Chapter 1235 Dedication

A fierce battle ended with the city of Huanzhou once broken, which was almost taken lightly by the Meng Meng, and was finally re-defended by the Song army.

Di Yong carried his battle axe and walked back along the street to the city gate.

His mood was very heavy, the opponent's war talent was far beyond his expectations, and the summer thief must not be taken lightly.

He was born in the Fourth Army, and although he has the glory of the Western Army, because of his father's exploits, he has been circling around Bianjing and has never really been on the battlefield.

Last winter's plunder, compared to the real war, is a completely different matter.

If it weren't for the fact that he had always been thoughtful, he followed Su You to learn to win before he thought about defeat, and arranged more than a dozen elm generals in the alley, this battle would have really been lost.

General Elm, thinking of this name, Di Yong couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is the name given by Jia Cheng's stinky boy, this time I brought him over, but it was really right.

Jia Yun is a native of Kaifeng, the kind of standard ranger evil boy in Beijing, and he was still Sun Neng's little follower back then.

After Sun Neng was ruthlessly cleaned up by Shi Wei, he was thrown into the military academy by Su You, and now he has become a young backbone of the Western Army, and together with Cao Nan, he is Gao Zunyu's right-hand man.

Jia Cheng was later incorporated into Yiyong by Di Yong, and because of his talent in riding and archery, he was recommended by Di Yong to the Royal Military Crash Course, and after he came out, he became a glorious forbidden army.

With this relationship, when Di Yong was put in Huanzhou by Zhao Ji, Jia Rong also made a fuss to follow, Di Yong felt that this kid was quite clever, so he asked Zhao Ji to bring him over.

Huanzhou armament, in the eyes of Di Yong and Jia Rong, who have experienced the training of the new army, is really too scummy, but out of secrecy, Su You did not agree to deploy several sharp firearms, and only allowed the Huanzhou army to be equipped with the earth-shaking thunder and crane shin crossbow that the Xia people were already familiar with.

Jia Cheng came up with an idea with Di Yong, if the top doesn't give it to us, we can't be foolish, we all know the principle of the cannon, let's do it ourselves!

Shi Yong of the Shi family is guilty of meritorious service in our place, not to mention how powerful it is, let's make a thing that can spray iron nails and rubble, isn't it enough for Xia people to drink a pot?

Di Yong thought about it and felt that it made sense, and said that let's let Lao Shi try it?

In the end, this weapon was made by Yumu with an iron hoop, Jia Rong imitated the name of the Zhenguo General's cannon, and unashamedly named Shi Yong's invention General Yumu.

In this way, he was afraid of letting the Xia people know, and only built a few barricades, as a measure in case the city was broken, in fact, in Di Yong's heart, he always felt that this was a thing to deceive his peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, the critical moment came in handy.

General Elm was filled with yellow explosives, filled with iron sand and broken porcelain, detonated through an iron pipe fuse, and fired along the narrow space of the street, which was quite powerful.

The streets were full of Xia people's corpses, whether they were heavy armor or shields, under the attack of the iron sand and broken porcelain brought out by the explosion, they were equally unlucky.

The scene was horrific and unusual, and the blood on the ground of several long streets soaked the mud into a dark purple mud.

Among the corpses on the street, there were still some seriously injured Xia people moaning and struggling, knowing that Di Yong was a cruel enemy, but they still stretched out their hands in vain, praying for mercy from the enemy.

Di Yong's eyes didn't fall on them at all, but the guards behind him would coldly mend the remnants when they passed by, ending their suffering.

There are too many problems in this battle, whether it is the Song army or the Xia army.

Di Yong suddenly stopped, with an inexplicable wry smile on his face.

He remembered a witty remark that Fu Guogong said, rookies pecked each other.

Shaking his head, Di Yong continued to walk, his leather boots becoming heavy on the blood-stained road.

Thinking all the way, when they came to the city gate, Wu Cunzhi and Shi Yong were already organizing Ding Zhuang to block the city gate with sandbags and wood.

"What about the casualties of the brothers?"

Wu Cunzhi hurriedly surrendered his hand: "More than one hundred and seventy...... Killed, and more than 200 brothers were wounded. ”

Di Yong looked at Wu Cunzhi's right hand: "You are also injured?" ”

Wu Cunzhi said: "The leather finger guard is broken, and it is too late to change it later." ”

Di Yong shook his head, his eyes were a little gloomy: "This battle is too stinky, I can't stand the brothers." ”

Wu Cunzhi comforted: "Taishou can't blame himself, compared to the Xia people, at least nearly a thousand people died, we can be regarded as a big victory." ”

"And their heavy armor, basically gave us a hug."

Di Yong smiled bitterly and looked around: "This is only the first day of the siege, I underestimated the intensity of this day......"

A woman came over with a clay pot and said to Wu Cunzhi, "Husband, it's time to eat." ”

Wu Cunzhi took the crockpot and introduced: "This is the clumsy Jing Li Xinniang, Xin Niang, this is Di Taishou." ”

After speaking, he said to Di Yong: "The singing team usually cooks meals from clumsy jing, so I asked her to organize women in the city to prepare food for the brothers, so that they can eat hot." If you don't dislike it, let's go together. ”

Di Yong took the enamel lunch box handed over by the guard: "Then there is Mrs. Lao Wu, and I just have to discuss with Brother Wu how to retreat from the enemy." ”

Xin Niang divided the yokan for Di Yong and Wu Cunzhi, holding the spoon handle nervously, her face was a little pale, and finally made up her mind: "Husband, Taishou, women...... The women of the people have a plan to withdraw from the army. ”

Di Yong couldn't help but laugh a little: "Mrs. Wu, military affairs, just leave it to the men, lady, you buy food for us and treat the wounded, the brothers are already grateful." ”

Xin Niang bit her lip and knelt down in front of Wu Cunzhi: "Husband, Xin Niang shouldn't ...... What happened in Western Xia is hidden from you. ”

Wu Cunzhi knew early that Xin Niang was a Han woman who was taken captive and returned to Western Xia, and when Li Ruoyu handed her over to himself, he said that this woman had suffered a lot in Western Xia and wanted to be kind to her.

What will happen to the Han woman if she is plundered to Western Xia, Wu Cunzhi is also from Shaanxi, so you don't have to think about it.

Since I married her, I have already thought about these things clearly.

Hurriedly helped Xin Niang to Xin Niang: "Xin Niang, those in the past, let's forget about it, now there are two children in the family, wait for us to run away from the Xia people, just continue to live a good life." ”

Xin Niang's tears flowed down, but her face showed a resolute look: "If the Xia people continue to wreak havoc, countless women in the Great Song Dynasty will still encounter what happened to Xin Niang back then, Xin Niang thinks...... Make a difference......"

Wu Cunzhi is respectful and loving to his own lady, and now Xin Niang is kneeling and reluctant to get up, he is anxious and doesn't dare to exert himself: "Xin Niang, Xin Niang, what do we have to say?" Don't worry, today's city break is just a momentary miscalculation, I didn't expect the Xia people to use our explosives, and now there is nothing to be done about it......"

Xin Niang raised her head and looked at her man seriously: "Husband, there are thousands of people outside the city who were coerced by the Xia people, today I see that the Xia people forced them to fill the ditch and die in a mess, tomorrow, the Xia people may let them attach to the city and destroy the heart of our army!" ”

Wu Cunzhi and Di Yong glanced at each other, and both of them thought of this possibility in their hearts.

Di Yong asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you have planned?" ”

Xin Niang gritted her teeth: "I was taken captive to Western Xia and reduced to the church, and I once knew about the rotten filth between the Meng Meng and the Empress Dowager Liang!" He thought it was his own ability and preached it among his sisters, but he didn't know that he was what the sisters hated the most! ”

Di Yong sighed: "Sister-in-law, what does this matter have to do with retiring soldiers?" ”

Xin Niang said: "They don't dare to see the light of day for those ugly things, so they want the sergeant leaders to know, can they not worry about being wiped out?" ”

"Also, if he dares to show his ugly things in the workshop, will the Empress Dowager of Western Xia be furious when she finds out? Do you dare to let Empress Dowager Liang know that he once hyped up the ugly faces of the two?! ”

Wu Cunzhi turned his head and glanced at Di Yong, feeling that this was a good ploy that could disturb the hearts of the Xia army.

Di Yong was still a little hesitant: "This matter ...... I'm afraid it will damage my sister-in-law's reputation......"

Xin Niang said firmly: "Since Xin Niang dares to say it, she is not afraid." Xin Niang had to be rescued by the Duke of Fuguo, so that she had the opportunity to return to China, and he gave me poems to encourage me to live a good life, and Xin Niang has always been grateful. ”

"Guogong is worried about state affairs, Xin Niang can have this opportunity to repay one or two, and can do her part for this country that has not forgotten me, not to mention any damage to reputation, even if you take this life, it is all due righteousness."

Di Yong couldn't help but be greatly moved, and looked at Wu Cunzhi: "Brother Wu, look at ......"
