Chapter 596 The Emperor's Edges and Corners, Approaching Battle
The Liao people learned the lessons of the Western Xia War, and the emperor's dragon flag is quite important, not to mention that this time the flagpole alone is made of the best fir wood soaked in tung oil, and the flagpole is composed of three parts: the pole base, the shaft and the head of the pole. The left and right sides of the rod seat are firmly fixed by the upper and lower tenon sleeves of the clamping rod stone; Above the clamping stone is the shaft.
Not to mention that such a flagpole encounters a strong wind, even if it is cut with a knife and axe, it will be watched for a while, but now it is broken under the sharp weapon of the Great Song Dynasty, is there any heavenly reason?
Looking at the Chinese army again, the luxurious imperial tent has disappeared into it, the white tents are now hanging everywhere like rags, and the traces of cannonballs ploughing are like the claws of giant beasts, leaving hideous tears on the ground......
It is said that the Song people's objects are exquisite, and the power of the equipment is huge, and now that they have seen it, Yelu Zong really came back to his senses and looked at the city wall of Xijin Mansion and was angry, and he almost died under the equipment of the Great Song Dynasty, what is the difference between this and Xiao Tzu Rin? !
And Zhang Jian rushed over with a roll, all his status and power are based on Yelu Zongzhen, once Yelu Zongzhen dies, then his status will also be fatally hit, and the person who is a confidant dies because it is always beneficial to follow the person who reuses himself.
When Zhang Jian saw the angry Yelu Zongzhen, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Yelu Zongzhen anxiously: "Your Majesty, the army commotion has appeared!" At this time, the dragon flag should be erected again, and the whole army of armor soldiers should be ordered to run to suppress the hearts of the army! ”
Yelu Zongzhen came back to his senses from his anger and shouted: "Come on, put up my dragon banner and build a high platform, I want to show the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty the prestige of my Great Liao Emperor!" ”
Zhang Jian said cautiously: "Your Majesty, your holy car should retreat five miles...... In case ......"
Everyone is afraid of death, even a bold person like Yelu Zongzhen is afraid of death, and he was killed by the Great Song Dynasty artillery before he succeeded in crusading against the Great Song Emperor to recover the Xijin Mansion.
waved his hand and said, "The Chinese army retreats five miles!" I don't believe that ten miles away, the artillery of his Song people can still touch me?! ”
Indeed, Yeluzong really chose wisely, today's Great Song artillery is more than six or seven miles of range, no matter how far it goes, it will be weak, even if it can shoot to a distance of ten miles, it will be crawling all the way over, it is better not to waste shells.
With the dragon flag of Yelu Zongzhen being erected again, and the imperial tent army belonging to the emperor was running around, the Chinese army of the Liao people quickly stabilized, as long as the emperor was unharmed, the military spirit would not be shaken too much, but the artillery of the Great Song Dynasty did give an indelible impression to the Liao people.
The commotion of the Liao army was quickly quelled, and Zhao Zhen shook his head in disappointment: "It seems that the Liao Emperor Yeluzong really survived, otherwise the Liao army would not have calmed down so quickly, the power of this artillery is terrifying, but it still needs a little luck!" ”
Peng Qi said regretfully on the side: "Your Majesty, why don't you come again?" ”
Without Zhao Zhen to speak, Di Qing said with a disgusted face: "How can I do it again?" It is still a blessing that the artillery can tear apart the Chinese army tent of the Liao people this time, how can the Liao people not know the power of the artillery? The emperor of the Liao Dynasty is afraid that he has already retreated, and he does not know how far away. ”
Sure enough, with Di Qing's words, the Chinese army tent of the Liao Dynasty began to retreat, and the dragon flag of the Liao Emperor became small in the blink of an eye......
Zhao Zhen smacked his lips, opportunistic things can only be done once, and if there are too many times, they will be laughed at by others, at this time, Yeluzong is really afraid that he has blown up his lungs, and the army of the Liao people should soon pounce on Xijin Mansion.
"Di Qing, you get ready, the battle to defend the city is about to begin......"
Zhao Zhen explained that Di Qing left as soon as he spoke, and Di Qing was the best choice for the command and competition on the battlefield, and Zhao Zhen himself would not make jokes about the layman guiding the insider, and handed over the army to Di Qing to command, Zhao Zhen was very relieved, at least more assured than his own command.
Peng Qi was a little jealous of Di Qing's treatment, this is the credit of the sky, according to the strength and equipment of the Great Song Dynasty today, it is not difficult to hold the Xijin Mansion, and the official family gave Di Qing such an honor, in order to give him a broader space in the future.
But Peng Qi also knew that although they were the same soldiers and the same equipment, under Di Qing's command, fewer people could die than others, which was the difference in ability between generals.
Zhao Zhen said that he left the city wall, but he stood still under the city wall, the shouting and killing outside was close to Xijin Mansion, Zhao Zhen believed that soon the soldiers would come to the city, this is the real soldiers under the city, the footsteps of tens of thousands of people have made the earth tremble, even if the Liao people are no longer good at siege warfare, but they have also studied in the competition with the Great Song Dynasty for so many years.
In the final analysis, offensive and defensive battles are the most unstudied type of warfare, and the only ones used in this era are those few moves, rolling stone and wood, lead water and hot oil, and slightly more advanced crossbow arrows and bed crossbows...... Zhao Zhen was fortunate that the defending side was the Great Song Dynasty, and even the equipment was far ahead of the Liao.
At this time, Zhao Zhen struggled in his heart, wanted to return to the city wall and worried about his own life, since he crossed over to the Great Song Dynasty, because of the emperor's extremely noble identity, Zhao Zhen found that he was more and more afraid of death......
What didn't he do when he was still a prince? I don't even know how many people have killed with my own hands, and now I am so cowardly? The comfortable days and the lofty life have corroded his adventurous soul, and he has almost been assimilated into an ancients by the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty!
With a fierce swing of his fist, Zhao Zhen pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven at his waist in the surprised eyes of the veteran of the Guards, roared and rushed onto the city wall, at this time the Liao people had not yet entered the range of the ratchet crossbow.
When Zhao Zhen appeared on the city wall, Peng Qi almost collapsed to the ground in fright, and a group of veterans of the guard family of the official family looked at everyone proudly...... It's a little early, though......
After Di Qing found out that Zhao Zhen was back, he gave up after two words of persuasion, just ordered a team of soldiers who stepped on the White Army to guard the officer's house in heavy armor, and also equipped with a dozen or so Mo swordsmen to do things hastily.
Even if the enemy knew that the official family of the Great Song Dynasty appeared on the city wall, he was powerless, and the crossbow arrows of the Liao people could not reach it, and the foot soldiers of the Liao Dynasty would be cut to pieces by the Mo swordsman when they got on the city wall, not to mention that there were also a number of "fortresses" with high martial arts around the official family.
Peng Qi was very relieved about Di Qing's arrangement, many of the Tabai Army were outstanding martial arts in the army, and more were generals and clans, they were well educated and trained, and the most important thing was that their loyalty to the official family was undoubted.
If the official family dies under the protection of these people, the entire clan and shomen of Tokyo City will disappear, paving the way for the crown prince to ascend the throne......
