Chapter 598: Song Liao collides

As the intensity of the war continued to increase, the Song and Liao countries pounced together like two savage beasts, and the fight between each other had become an instinct, and the Liao people rushed to the walls of Xijin Mansion in waves, even if they fell like wheat.

Even if Zhao Zhen, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, is really distressed for Yeluzong, the people in this era are productive forces, and these Liao people are from ordinary people's families, how can they develop without such people?

But Xia Zhu on the city wall gave another explanation: "Your Majesty, don't think that the death of these Liao people is not worth it, this is the consistent method of the Liao people, after losing Nanjing Road, the Liao people will lose a large area of grain production, which means that the food of the Liao people will be reduced, after all, the food produced in the grassland is limited, and the Liao people will not cultivate." You can't let them turn their grasslands into farmland, right? The death of these people could reduce the food needed by the Liao Dynasty. ”

Zhao Zhen's heart sank slightly: "Could it be that the barbarians on the grassland are all sustained and survived like this?" ”

Xia Zhu sighed slightly and said: "Yes, it has been the case since ancient times, if there is little food, the foreign army will attack China, plunder the wealth of the Han family to give back to the clan, accumulate strength and consume the excess population at the same time, and the cycle has never been exhausted, from the Xiongnu to the Turks, and then to the Khitan today." ”

Zhao Zhen thought about it, the nomads in the land of China in history have not been completely eliminated, and even in the future, there will be nomads in the Central Plains, the Yuan and Qing dynasties are orthodox dynasties recognized by later generations.

If you can't eliminate the enemy forever, then find a way to assimilate him, this is the ancient wisdom of the Chinese ancestors, just like after the Qin Dynasty Liuhe, the people of other countries still want to take revenge, and in the Han Dynasty, there is none, not because of the problem of time, but because of the social system and indoctrination and tolerance.

Zhao Zhen looked at the Liao people who rushed to his face, and secretly decided in his heart that if he defeated the Liao Dynasty, he would be integrated into China, the Khitan people were like this, and the party people were the same! With the crushing of time, the erosion of the years, and the edification of the Great Song Dynasty, they themselves will forget their race.

Although there were fifty-six nationalities in later generations, who would say that they came from that race unless there was a special occasion? The so-called Han Chinese population is so large, but how many of them have ancestors who intermarried with foreigners? How many people have the genes of the Hu people in their blood? No one can say for sure.

Since the great ethnic integration of the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Zhen believes that there is no so-called pure Chinese Han people in this world......

Sou...... Bite......

A feather arrow flew and hit the huge shield in the hands of the forbidden army, leaving only a white mark on it and being knocked out, the so-called wolf tooth arrow killing penetration of the Liao people is really poor, once the jagged wolf tooth arrow is shot into the human body, it will be difficult to take out, even if it is pulled out, it will bring out a large piece of skin and flesh to cause secondary trauma, but it is now difficult to shoot into the body of the Song army.

The forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty has carried out two costume changes, from the full-body foot armor to the plate armor, during which a qualitative leap has been made, the dome forging technology has made the plate armor of the Great Song Dynasty can be mass-produced, and the hydraulic forging machine can produce plate armor and other parts day and night.

And once the plate armor of the Great Song Dynasty is handed over to the soldiers, from maintenance to maintenance, all must be borne by the soldiers themselves, that is to say, if you are responsible for your own life on the battlefield, you must maintain your armor.

The forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty wore it like a can one by one, fortunately, the aesthetics of the Great Song Dynasty are still there, the helmet of the plate armor is not in the shape of an iron bucket, but in line with the lines of people, after all, the Han people forging helmets are not a day or two, there was no money to equip such good equipment, but now there is money, and almost every soldier has an improved phoenix wing helmet on his head.

Helmet, helmet body, helmet spine, forehead, phoenix wings, six major parts of the neck, helmet spine helmet along with auspicious clouds and waves-shaped patch edging, the front of the forehead and the helmet spine junction decorated with a group of flowers, left and right phoenix wings root feathers at first, delicate, and then with the protection of the mask everyone looks heroic and extraordinary.

The visor can be moved up and down, and it is hidden in the armor, so it can be slid down with a slight pull, and pinched by pressing on the top.

Even Zhao Zhen has to sigh at the superb skills of the craftsmen, no wonder later generations have a positive attitude towards the technology of the Great Song Dynasty, the culture of the Chinese nation, after thousands of years of evolution, created in the Zhao Song Dynasty, this is definitely a true praise, there is no falsehood.

The soldiers armed to the teeth finally ushered in the close combat of the Liao, even if there were more ratchet crossbows, it was impossible to wipe out the tide of enemies under the city walls, countless cloud ladders, Lu Gong chariots rushed over, even the continuous firing of bed crossbows was overwhelming.

The front army of the Liao people was composed of Jurchens and Bohai people, and they were even more fierce, and they dared to attack Xijin Mansion with a wooden stick with iron tools in a light suit, and behind them were well-dressed Han Chinese troops, and then behind them were the Khitans.

Zhao Zhen understands why these Han people will work for the Liao people, the Liao Dynasty was established before the Zhao and Song dynasties, and the Han people in the territory have long been accustomed to the rule of the Liao people, and they also regard the Liao State as their own motherland, there is nothing wrong with this, the reason why the people of Yanyun are so enthusiastic about the Zhao and Song Dynasty is entirely because they were given to the Liao Dynasty by Shi Jingjiao, not conquered by the Liao Dynasty.

At the beginning, the city wall was still distinct, and the Liao army was cut down by the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty on the city wall, and at the same time it was accompanied by a variety of rolling stone sassagers, and the long sassalwood could even smash the enemy on two or three ladders, and the effect was good, but it was too wasteful.

Lead water, hot oil poured down in a pot, you can always smell the smell of meat and the screams of seeping people, the fire oil does not need money as if it has to be poured on the ladder of the Liao, from top to bottom after pouring a torch is a ladder of skewers.

But as time went by, the rolling stone sassal wood ran out, the lead water and hot oil ran out, and there was not much fierce fire oil left, but the Liao people's attack continued, and the next step was the confrontation of real swords and real guns.

The two armies of Song and Liao, which were originally distinct, also began to fight together, but Di Qing always had a way, with the short copper whistle, the military formation on the wall of the Great Song Dynasty changed, the shield hand, the Mo knife hand, the horizontal knife hand, and the crossbow archer formed a formation on each battlement, and each team was only responsible for its own gap, and handed over its own side to the robe.

This kind of trust is a tacit understanding that the forbidden army has cultivated in its usual training, once you are on the battlefield, whether you want to or not, you must hand over the robe to your junior, even if he has had a dirty relationship with you, you must not hesitate to hand it over to him.

On the horse-facing walls on both sides, the crossbow archers in a queue shoot arrows at the Liao people who are climbing the ladder in an angled manner, and the original three rows of teams have become four or even five rows, which is to ensure their physical strength, but also to ensure the continuous rain of arrows.

In order to avoid accidental injury, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty was a distance away from the battlement, and this distance just made a Liao man stand on the city wall, so the soldiers of the Liao Dynasty collided with the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty on the city wall, and the shouts of killing rang out.
