The sun is shining again, the weather is already hot, and the emperor of the Liao State, Yelu Hongji, sits firmly under the canopy of the high platform, and there are people next to him who use a big fan of goose feathers to cool him down.

After yesterday's initial battle, the tactics of the Liao people also began to change, and using human lives to build soil has become an excellent strategy, and even a strategy that is bound to succeed.

The change in tactics made Yelu Hongji feel better, and the pressure in his heart suddenly decreased.

Load the sand and gravel with everything that can be used to hold objects, gallop forward, and pour the sand and gravel under the city walls, if there are not enough things to hold objects, even if you take off your clothes, it is summer anyway, win the war first, and then say, no matter what you use in winter to keep out the cold.

To deal with this situation, Di Yong has no good way, even Gan Qi has no good way, once human life is worthless, what else can be done?

Even if there is still a breath of air for those who are shot down by the feather arrows, the Liao people will throw them under the city walls and bury them with sand.

The scene is so tragic that it is unbearable to witness.

In war, there is no most tragic, only more tragic. Some things in ancient wars are unimaginable, such as the Huangchao uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty, in the later period, the Huangchao army had no food, for the sake of military food, thousands of people were killed every day to eat, and they couldn't eat air-dried meat as reserve military food.

After Jingkang in history, the Jin people ravaged the north, and there were many Song people's resistance in the north, one of which had no food, and also ate human flesh, and made human flesh into dried meat with it, and this part later went south by boat from Shandong to the Southern Song Dynasty, and these people still carried human dried meat to Hangzhou. During the founding years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the founding general Li Chugengbu also ate human flesh. The large-scale cannibalism of human flesh is so numerous in history that it is even possible to write a thick book to record it.

The things of war, life and death, what human beings can do for life and death, far beyond ordinary imagination.

Ganqi, who arrived at the battlefield the next day, went to the city to take a look, and then returned to the yamen, today the enemy will not attack the city, but only a slaughter on one side, or a slaughter on both sides, the Liao army and the Song army are slaughtering. The city is unhindered, the drums are not in a hurry, and Gan Qi is too lazy to look at it, the human body that is still wriggling in the sand and stone is really unsightly.

Back in the yamen, Gan Qi also has something to do, that is, to arrange production, produce more arrows, even if he is prepared enough for this big battle, Gan Qi is still afraid that there will not be enough arrows, according to this situation, the consumption of arrows is more than expected, and he must continue to prepare more arrows and be prepared.

At this pace, it will be a protracted tug-of-war. Fortunately, the grain reserves are sufficient, and the grain in Datong City is enough to eat for several months, until the day when the food of the Liao people is exhausted. Fighting a war is obviously about food and logistics, and Gan Qi even did not hesitate to offend Emperor Yingzong for this day and for the sake of these money and grain, which was also prescient.

Gan Qi returned to the yamen, obviously full of business.

But she also suffered from Miss Fan, she was looking at her at home, she was still waiting for Gan Ba to pick her up at the foot of the city wall, and continued to stroke the piano to Gan Xianggong, but Gan Xianggong had already forgotten about this matter to the clouds.

The fight broke out on the Datong side, but the party members also began to gather troops, and the main force of the party in the west of the desert Gobi began to move to Xingqing Mansion on the edge of the Yellow River.

He received the news early, and naturally began to mobilize troops, and the momentum of sword and crossbow tension reappeared. For Li Liangzuo, how can he let go of such a good opportunity?

For Yeluhongki, the enemy of the enemy, how could it not be connected?

The rangers under the command of Chong were stunned, running around every day to spy around, and the main cavalry was also roaring in the Hetao area, at this time he was under great pressure, because two or three hundred thousand migrated people came to the Hetao area outside the Iron Gate, these are his responsibilities, once these immigrants suffered large-scale losses, it was his guilt.

Gan Qi has long had a military order to come, to defend the enemy in the opposition, not to guard the iron gate. If the lives of immigrants cannot be guaranteed, how can future people be willing to come to the Hetao again?

There were only a few thousand cavalry, but now there are 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry, and a lot of foot soldiers have been transferred from Qinzhou and Jingzhaofu, and they patrol in the Hetao every day, and even directly camp outside Xingqing Mansion, looking like they want to fight a decisive battle with Li Liangzuo.

For the sake of insurance, the stunned even distributed a lot of weapons to the immigrants who cleared the wasteland and reclaimed the land, and formed many temporary militia groups, these people were originally removed from the forbidden army, although the combat strength is not very good, but the formation of a militia can be used, at least it is convenient for management and scheduling. Horses were also distributed to many militia groups, so that the message could be easily transmitted, and if they were really attacked, they could call for help quickly.

Not only that, but according to Gan Qi's instructions, he also gathered thousands of men and horses in Qingtang City, and even many Tubo soldiers, with a posture of going north, that is, to tell Li Liangzuo that once he dared to go to war, there would immediately be a large army directly into Ganzhou, Suzhou and even Guazhou, so that he would suffer from the enemy.

The situation is so deadlocked, Li Liangzuo with the last family background, an army of fifty or sixty thousand, seems to be hesitating, hesitating whether to really press his net worth and his life, and maybe he is also hesitating whether to wait for the Liao people and the Song people to separate a superior before making a decision, it is nothing more than the fisherman's desire to profit, and he is also looking forward to the Liao people being able to defeat the Song people in Datong.

If the Song people defeated the Liao, this was the result that Li Liangzuo did not want to see, if this was the case, this battle could not be started easily. There may be another way, that is, to plunder the grassland, rob the central grassland, and livestock, so as to strengthen the strength, and then find a way to entangle with the Song people.

Abacus is a good abacus.

In fact, Gan Qi in Datong also has a lot of worries, worried that Li Liangzuo really doesn't care, gambling on the final family background and fighting to the death, once this happens, victory or defeat is possible, if the time comes, Gan Qi's big plan will be seriously hit, not only the immigration strategy that has just begun has been in vain, but there are also two or three hundred thousand mouths in the northwest that eat and do not produce, and the iron gate is also dangerous, maybe it will return to the pre-liberation period one day.

This is all possible, so Gan Qi is particularly concerned about the situation in the northwest, almost every day a letter to ask, and also sent a variety of arrangements and response plans to the stunned, and even constantly transferred the military and Han from the various state capitals in the northwest to the north, and those who can be used and cannot be used are all going north, under the command of the stunned, and the bluff must be in place. The confrontation is, in essence, a bluff on both sides.

At night, Di Yong came to report the day's situation: "Big brother, the Liao people are making rapid progress today, and they have already built a thick layer outside the city. ”

"How thick?" Gan Qi is concise and to the point.

"I'm afraid it's twenty inches thick, and it's seventy or eighty paces wide. The length is about 200 steps. ”

Gan Qi frowned slightly and said, "There are masters in the Liao army, and the plan is very meticulous. ”

Why do you say that the Liao people are meticulously planned? Don't look at the ramps, it is also a project, it is an engineering technology, how big the base is, it determines what the slope is, and the slope also determines the strength of the charge, and even whether it can run a horse. The width of seventy or eighty steps determines that the angle of this ramp must be small.

With a plan, there is also a construction plan, and the construction plan is also of great significance, how to speed up efficiency, how to avoid losses.

Di Yong's brows had already become a Sichuan zigzag, and he said: "Big brother, the enemy's losses yesterday exceeded 10,000, and today's casualties are probably as many as six or seven thousand, but I don't know how long it will take to fill in this ramp according to this progress." ”

The engineering quantity can be calculated, the volume is calculated, the upper bottom plus the lower bottom multiplied by the height divided by two, this is the area, and then multiplied by the vertical height, is the volume. Although it is an approximate figure, it is enough for Ganqi.

Twenty inches in a day, that is, seventy centimeters are almost there, and the height of the city wall is less than four zhang, almost eleven or twelve meters high, and the speed of earthwork transportation has a basic concept. The difficulty of the follow-up project will become more and more difficult, Gan Qi replied with a sigh: "Half a month." ”

Di Yong replied: "Half a month, 100,000 lives, a ramp." Gee...... Why do you need to use earth and stones, and the corpses are piled up......"

Di Yong gasped, doing this is really ruthless.

"There is no sand, only corpses are used, there is no cohesion, there is no bonding, and it will slip and collapse every day...... "Gan Qi said science, but he also had a flash of inspiration of his own.

"Big brother, I just sighed."

The aura in Gan Qi's mind suddenly fermented a few times, his eyebrows widened, and he said: "Carry water, from tomorrow, order the soldiers to carry water to the city." ”

"Big brother, this is ......"

"Fall, rush. Although it is not enough to completely block the Liao people's strategy of building up the land, it can also bring them huge trouble. "Ganqi is also vicious, there is no shortage of water in the city, the land of the Datong Basin, surrounded by mountains, is where the confluence is, and the groundwater is relatively abundant, for the agricultural production society, there is no shortage of water here, and water can be produced by digging wells.

To fight a war is to do everything.

Di Yong also reacted immediately: "Big brother's clever plan, if this water rushes down, it will inevitably wash down the sand, and the corpse will slide and collapse, so it's a good strategy." ”

Corpses have never been a building material, they can only be regarded as temporary use.

Ganchi added: "Not only that, but if you go down like this, the ramp will become more and more inclined, and if you wet the surface of the ramp with water, it will be muddy, and it will also make it difficult for the people who carry the sand to go up." ”

"Yes, yes, the eldest brother is right, from tomorrow onwards, I will order the soldiers to carry water to rush." Di Yong's eyebrows were relaxed, and he finally found a little way to deal with it.

Early in the morning of the second day, soldiers and men knocked on the door everywhere in Datong City, borrowing buckets, water tanks, and even wooden basins from each family.

Gan Xianggong also went to the scene to take a look, and today he did not rush back to the yamen, but once again sat at the foot of the city wall.

At the foot of the city wall, it was still the same furnishings, a table, a few chairs, some snacks and tea, and a piano.

Gan Ba remembered something and asked, "Big brother, do you want to go and pick up that little girl to play the piano?" ”

"Hmm." Ganchi nodded.

Gan Ba beat the horse and took the carriage away, and knocked on the door of the Defan family's house.

When the master of the Fan family saw Gan Ba again, he was not so scared, and after seeing the ceremony, he invited Gan Ba to eat tea, but Gan Ba said: "Don't bother, the military affairs are busy, forgive me." ”

The old man didn't force it, he already knew from his daughter that it was the prime minister of the dynasty who came to invite him, which is really not a bad thing, maybe it is a good thing for the Fan family. The old man hurriedly said, "Then the villain will go in and ask Mo Yan to come out." ”

Ganba nodded.

But I heard the voice of a little girl in the hall opposite the door: "I'm not going today, you can go back." ”

The tone is quite unkind, like a woman is angry.

Gan Ba was stunned, this girl didn't go, he didn't have any good way, and he couldn't do anything to kidnap the woman of a good family.

On the contrary, the master of the Fan family was in a hurry, and quickly entered the hall and asked, "Daughter, yesterday you were still looking forward to wearing, why don't you want to go today?" ”

"I just won't go."

"The general is still waiting outside the door......"

The little girl deliberately raised her voice and said: "Yesterday, yesterday I clearly said that I waited for a day in vain, and I actually taught people to fiddle like that?" Coming when called, lingering away? I'm not going today, huh......"

Gan Ba heard it clearly, and shouted at the door: "Little Fan girl, I had official business yesterday, and my father-in-law was free today, no, I'm here?" My father-in-law is still waiting. ”

"No, no." The hall is categorical.

Gan Ba shook his head, but he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only turn around: "Let's go, ask for another one." ”

Gan Ba really doesn't know how to deal with women, let alone talk about persuasion, he really thinks so, this family doesn't want to, so naturally he has to ask the next family.

But as soon as Ganba's voice fell, he heard the hall crying: "You guys...... You're all bullying me......"

Gan Ba is completely stunned, can't he go? Crying when you walked? Gan Ba was anxious: "I...... I don't bully you, don't go around talking nonsense, I don't bully women, I ...... I didn't bully you. My big brother...... Is my eldest brother bullying you? ”

"It's you who bullied me, it's you, and your father-in-law, they all bully me!"

"I didn't, it seems that my eldest brother is really bullying you, go, I'll take you to him, my eldest brother doesn't usually bully women, if my eldest brother bullies you, then my eldest brother will definitely compensate you." Gan Ba admits this reason, he is usually not bullied by Wu Qiaoer, but he can only admit it, even if Gan Qi is more so, he has not compensated Wu Qiaoer, the housekeeper, in the past.

I didn't expect Gan Ba to say this, the little girl in the hall really came out, the pear blossoms brought rain, but there was no sense of tenderness, and she said: "I have to go and find him to make a reason, why say good things, don't count, I ...... I won't play the piano for him......"

Gan Ba was dumbfounded: "Don't play the piano?" Then why don't you wait at home, and then come to compensate you when my eldest brother has nothing to do, my eldest brother wants to listen to the piano now, and I have to find someone. ”

"You...... You...... You're still bullying me. "Straight man, intolerable, unreasonable.

"I don't, I'm willing to stand up to the sky, how can I bully you a weak woman?" Ganba, this is unjust.

"Humph!" Where did the little girl care about this, she got into the car by herself, didn't want the wooden steps, turned over and climbed up, and asked, "Do you want to go?" ”

Gan Ba was also embarrassed, and looked left and right: "Can you go?" ”

"General, let's go?"

"Let's go." Gan Ba turned over and said, "I didn't bully you, go to my eldest brother, don't complain." I'm a good man, I am a well-known man, don't plant you a little girl here. ”

Not long after, in front of Ganqi, the little girl got out of the car, and for some reason, the little girl had already wiped away her tears.

Gan Qi also raised his hand and asked, "Take a seat." ”

The little girl came closer, stopped sitting, and just stared at Ganqi.

"What's wrong?" Gan Qi asked.

"You're not a good person." The little girl's baby fat cheeks bulged and bulged.

"Haha...... Ganba scared you the day before yesterday? Got less daring? Gan Qi didn't understand, he just thought that his image was lowered by Gan Ba, and he also became a wicked person who killed people without blinking.

"I said good things the day before yesterday, but I taught people to wait for every message for a day......" The little girl didn't question, but with coquettishness.

"This one...... It's the same today, and I'll come tomorrow to pick you up. "Ganchi is a master.

"What if you still talk tomorrow?"

"Then I'll be the king of the pond." Gan Qi's rhetoric, born from Jia Baoyu's quotations in the Red Mansion, Jia Baoyu is a real master.

As soon as Jia Baoyu made a move, he said that there would be. The little girl smiled, endured it again, held back her smile, sat down, and asked, "What kind of tune did Xianggong listen to?" ”

"How old are you?" Gan Qi asked rhetorically.

"Sixteen is still a month away."

Gan Qi was a little surprised, and looked up and down again, this nutrition is too good. He replied, "Eighteen beats." ”

"It's a little desolate and sad." The little girl also communicated.

"It's good to be sad, if you die thousands of people a day, you will have to be desolate and sad, it can be regarded as a sacrifice with others, and I wish the soul to return to my hometown." Gan Qi was moved by himself. Hu Ji's eighteen beats are talking about Cai Wenji's return to Han, and it is about the soul returning to her hometown.

The little girl doesn't understand it, just play it.

The soil covered the people, and the people covered the soil, layer after layer, buckets of water poured down, and the soil just covered the people, and the human body was exposed. There is also the arm that can squirm, with unwilling eyes, looking at the sky before dying, probably thinking about the soul returning to his hometown.

Today, the little girl still has a question in her heart, why can't she hear the wailing and crying of the battlefield? Why are so many people still carrying water to the city?

Why didn't you fight today?
