Some may think this is an exaggeration.

But this is an indisputable fact.

For example, the Liao army that was slowly approaching, many of the ordnance in their hands were passed from the Great Song Dynasty.

Among them, there are many ordnance that the imperial court once ordered and required strict secrecy.

And then what?

Under the strict secrecy ordered by the Great Song Dynasty, these ordnance still appeared in the Liao army barracks.

In this case, how dare Kou Ji promote the production method of guns and grenades.

If he really promotes it, it is estimated that by then, it will not be the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who will take these things to expand the territory.

It was the Liao people and the Western Xia people who took these things to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

……

"Ding!"

The war officially began at the moment when the sharp arrow pierced the ice on the wall of Baozhou City.

The way the Liao army attacked the city was far less barbaric than Kou Ji imagined.

Their way of besieging the city was not much different from the way the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty besieged the city.

The Liao people not only learned ordnance manufacturing from the books handed down by the Great Song Dynasty, but also learned the art of war and strategy.

The boulders carried by the catapult blossomed vigorously on the head of Baozhou City, and smashed out one gap after another on the head of Baozhou City.

The crossbow guns fired from the bed crossbow were tied in a row on the wall of Baozhou City.

Under the escort of the shield, the siege was successfully delivered to the gate of Baozhou City, and the gate of Baozhou City was bombarded one by one.

The soldiers of the Liao army pushed the building cart, drove the ladder, climbed the crossbow guns tied to the city wall of Baozhou City, and climbed to the top of the city one by one.

"Kill!"

Li Zhaoliang gave an order.

The officers and men of the various armies, armed with swords and guns, began to respond to the enemy.

Di Qing held a big gun and wore a mask, standing on the other side of the city wall, commanding the soldiers of the Xiang Army to fight.

Seeing that the Liao army under the city was gathering more and more, Kou Ji shouted loudly: "Throw down all the phosphorus bombs." ”

The servants and guards of the Kou Mansion urged the soldiers of the Xiang Army to light one phosphorus bomb after another and threw them down the city.

Phosphorus bombs exploded in the Liao army's military formation, igniting one flame after another.

As long as the soldiers of the Liao army are contaminated with phosphorus fire, their bodies will catch fire.

When all the phosphorus bombs brought by Kou Ji were thrown down, a sea of fire was formed under the city of Baozhou.

Seeing this, the Liao army stopped the attack.

The soldiers of the Xiang army at the head of the city saw this scene and stopped fighting.

They stared at the flames burning in the trenches beneath the walls, not knowing for a moment what to do.

The soldiers of the Liao army, who were contaminated with phosphorus fire, screamed one by one, fell into the trench under the city wall, and turned into a nourishment in the sea of fire.

The fire was never extinguished from the moment it was lit.

The phosphorus fire has long since burned out.

Supporting the fire to continue to burn was the corpse oil boiled out of the corpses of the soldiers of the Liao army.

A sea of fire divided the battlefield.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was shocked by the power of phosphorus fire bombs and had to order the retreat of his troops.

His attack on Baozhou City this time, although it was a bit anticlimactic.

But in the face of the raging fire, he had to retreat.

It was a sea of fire formed by human oil, which could not be extinguished with water.

If he filled it with soil, the Song army at the head of the city would not give him this opportunity.

He could only retreat.

The Liao army retreated.

Retreated in the face of a raging fire.

But the army at the head of the city did not withdraw.

They stood at the head of the city and watched the fire in the trench burn.

The fire burned for a day and a night.

The corpses in the trenches were burned to ashes, and the dirt in the trenches was burned into hard pieces.

The ice covered by Baozhou City has long been melted by the fire.

Wait until the hot masonry has cooled in the cold wind.

Kou Ji led the people and soldiers of the whole city to continue to water the city walls, so that they quickly condensed another layer of ice.

Then after the ice condensed on the city wall, he did not stop, but continued to water it, so that the ice thickened layer by layer.

The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu did not launch an attack during this period.

It's not that he doesn't know how to seize this opportunity, it's that he doesn't want to attack before he figures out how to deal with the phosphorus bomb.

Marching and fighting is not a matter of brutality.

When the lives of a handful of soldiers can be exchanged for victory, no one wants to put their lives on a war.

……

Kou Ji frantically led people to water the walls of Baozhou City.

He didn't stop until the city walls of Baozhou City formed a half-foot-thick layer of ice.

Li Zhaoliang felt that Kou Ji's approach was a bit mad.

Di Qing had no objection to Kou Ji's approach.

Kou Jicai didn't care about Li Zhaoliang's opinion.

He only knows that the dog's life is important, and saving the dog's life is the key.

As long as he can save the dog's life, he will use any method.

On the tower of the city gate.

Li Zhaoliang looked at the half-foot-thick ice and sighed: "The Liao people can only look away from the current Baozhou City...... The problem is that we have nothing to do with the Liao. ”

The frenzied Kou Ji froze even the gate of the city with boulders mixed with ice water.

The city of Baozhou was completely frozen.

The Liao people wanted to attack Baozhou City, but they had nowhere to speak.

The problem is that the soldiers and horses in Baozhou City want to attack, but they can't get out.

Kou Ji covered his mouth with a handkerchief and rolled his eyes at Li Zhaoliang, "Cao Shuai meant to let us hold Baozhou City, and he didn't let us attack." As long as we hold Baozhou City. ”

Li Zhaoliang shook his head and said in a low voice: "Fight...... It's not like that......"

Li Zhaoliang was still thinking about looking for an opportunity to lead his troops to attack and give the Liao army a surprise attack, so as to establish some merits.

But Ko Ji's actions completely strangled his thoughts in the cradle.

"Gott~"

Kou Ji vomited a mouthful of water, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said disdainfully: "I don't care how it hits...... I only remember that my duty was to defend the city of Baozhou. ”

Li Zhaoliang said with a disgusted face: "Your approach has changed the taste of the battlefield......

The purpose of fighting a war is to win.

Between offense and defense, it's not static.

Sometimes, offense is also a form of defense.

Kou Ji's approach is tantamount to giving up the offense and blindly shrinking into the turtle shell to defend.

The generals of all dynasties have rarely done this.

While defending, those generals will always look for opportunities, take the initiative, and constantly create opportunities to win the war.

"Gott~"

Kou Ji retched again and said to Li Zhaoliang: "You continue to guard on the city wall, I want to go down slowly." ”

The city walls were filled with the smell of corpses and corpse oil.

Koji couldn't stay any longer.

He hadn't gotten used to the smell of the battlefield, and when he smelled the smell of corpse oil and corpse stench, he couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Kou Ji waved his hand and left.

Li Zhaoliang clicked his mouth and found Di Qing to talk.

Although Di Qing is much younger than him, Li Zhaoliang likes to talk to Di Qing.

He likes to share his years of experience in fighting with Di Qing.

He felt that Cao Wei's proud protégé was a good seedling.

As long as you train and train well, you will definitely be able to take on great responsibilities in the future.

……

The city of Baozhou was turned into a crystal palace by Kou Ji.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu looked at Baozhou City, and could only sigh with admiration.

He was helpless against the almost Laipi defensive style used by the defenders of Baozhou City.

I always feel that this guy is a little crazy.

If this guy were to be a general under his own command, he would definitely dismantle this guy.

The Liao people fought and never counted the gains and losses of one city or one place.

Kou Ji sealed Baozhou City, not only sealing the road for the Liao people to attack, but also sealing his own way of retreat and the road of his own attack.

This approach can certainly hold the city of Baozhou, but it is not advisable on the battlefield.

Advancing and retreating with a basis is the way to use troops.

Kou Ji's approach is tantamount to giving up advance and retreat, choosing to be a motionless stone.

Is the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu really helpless to take this stone?

Neither is it.

As long as he is willing to spend his blood and chooses to attack, he can still gnaw this stone.

But he didn't.

He stayed outside Baozhou City for three days, and after carefully calculating the troops needed to take Baozhou City, he decisively gave up attacking Baozhou City.

Because after his calculations, if he fights with Baozhou City, the force is a bit too large.

So big that after he conquered Baozhou City, he was unable to invade the south again.

This defeated his purpose of going south to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, he decisively chose to lead the troops to retreat, intending to invade the Great Song Dynasty from another place.

At the junction of Song and Liao, there is not only Baozhou.

The Liao Emperor's southern invasion was not to march from Baozhou.

The Liao army withdrew.

The soldiers of the Xiang army in Baozhou City celebrated happily.

Li Zhaoliang asked Kou Ji if he wanted to take the opportunity to build the city wall and whether he wanted to take the opportunity to unlock the blockade of the city gate.

Kou Ji chose to continue.

The city walls of Baozhou City were destroyed by water invasion and fire.

When the spring flowers bloom, the ice on the walls of Baozhou City will melt away, and Baozhou City will collapse.

Li Zhaoliang proposed to build the city wall, also for the sake of the future of Baozhou City.

But Kou Ji was worried that the Liao people would kill a horse gun, so he decisively rejected Li Zhaoliang's proposal.

The city wall of Baozhou City will have time to be built in the future, so there is no need to be at this time.

Kou Ji chose to lead 90,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of wounded soldiers to survive in Baozhou City, but the fighting in other places did not stop because of Kou Ji.

The first is the battle on the battlefield of Western Xia, where there was a dramatic scene.

Those people who were forced to join the war in Western Xia showed unprecedented combat effectiveness after joining the war.

They couldn't help Gao Di Gong to defend the Great Wall against the Western Xia army.

But they didn't stay on the Great Wall with them on a high place.

Lacking food and clothing, they have long been eyeing Western Xia.

They slipped out of the Great Wall and invaded the territory of Western Xia in groups of three or five, carrying out a devastating and predatory destruction.

The horse thieves ganged up with the thieves, stole horses in the territory of Western Xia, armed themselves, and finally became a group of rogues with horses, scurrying around in Western Xia, burning and looting everywhere.

The tomb robbers ganged up with the mountain bandits, one side secretly dug the pit, and the other side went to attract the soldiers and horses sent by the Western Xia to exterminate them and send them into the trap.

Then, a small group of soldiers and horses in Western Xia were killed by tomb robbers and mountain bandits.

They pulled off the clothes of the Western Xia soldiers and horses, captured the Western Xia war horses, and sold them to those thieves, rebels, and bandits, so that they could be transformed into Western Xia soldiers and horses.

Then these people disguised themselves as Western Xia soldiers and horses, and caused trouble everywhere in the territory of Western Xia.

Among them, the most representative is a group of bandits, pretending to be Western Xia soldiers and horses, mixing and mixing in the territory of Western Xia, and it has become an army of more than 10,000 people.

After Li Di discovered them, he decisively recruited them, threw away the title of a general to their leader, and sent out eighteen prison troops, staring at them and continuing to toss in the territory of Western Xia.

All in all, after these scourges entered Western Xia, they never stopped.

They committed crimes in the Great Song Dynasty, and that was called a crime.

They committed crimes in Western Xia, and that was called winning glory for the country.

Without the restraint of the law, they sinned, and that was called unscrupulousness.

All kinds of criminal methods that Kou Ji had heard of and had never heard of were staged every day in Western Xia.

Li Deming's father and son were not afraid of the Liao people, nor were they afraid of the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, but they had a headache for this group of scourges.

But they couldn't send a large army to clean up these people.

Because as soon as they send troops and horses to clean up these people and stick to the high places on the Great Wall, they will immediately lead their troops to attack their lair.

Except on the battlefield of Western Xia.

On the battlefield of Song Liao, there were also gains.

The Liao army sent by Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to attack Yanmen Pass was ambushed by Yang Wenguang outside Yanmen Pass.

Yang Wenguang led the Tianwu army, beheaded 3,000 Liao troops and captured tens of thousands.

After the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu withdrew from Baozhou, he prepared to lead his army down from the Flying Fox Pass, bypassing the mountain road, and invading the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

but bumped into Cao Wei, who went to attack the Liao army at the mouth of the flying fox.

The two sides fought fiercely at Flying Fox Pass for three days and three nights.

There are winners and losers for each other.

Just when the two sides were preparing to fight to the death.

Western Xia was instigated.

Li Deming sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty.

He agreed to eliminate the emperor, accepted the canonization of the Great Song Dynasty, and was willing to cede the territory south of the Great Wall to the Great Song Dynasty.

Anyway, it was occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, and it was useless for him to agree or not.

The title of disobedient marquis officially fell on his head.

The last one with the title of disobedient marquis was Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

It was a humiliating marquisate.

But Li Deming had to ask for it.

When he faced the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, he had the courage to fight against the water.

But when Xixia was really about to be defeated, he didn't have the courage to fight against the odds.

Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu saw that the Western Xia had surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, and decisively sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty to ask for a resignation.

When he attacked Western Xia, he suffered a loss, causing a great loss to the Liao army.

Now the Great Song Dynasty is profiting from the battlefield of Western Xia, and its morale is high.

At this time, if he continues to fight with the Great Song Dynasty, it is difficult to guarantee that the Great Song Dynasty will not invest more troops and fight him to the death.

At that time, he really didn't have the certainty of victory.

When the Great Song Dynasty learned that the Liao State was going to stop making peace, it did not hesitate and decisively agreed.

No, no.

With the war between the two fronts of the Great Song Dynasty, the fierce battle lasted for so long.

The treasury has long been able to run rats.

In addition, there are losers like Kou Ji, who frequently ask the court for supplies, and the court can't hold on.
