Chapter 356: Retreat without a Fight
In front of the unification of ten thousand cities, the banner was unfurled, and the two armies faced each other.
The generals of the Song army saw that the other party was a (jiāo) Didi woman, and although they scolded ugly, they were all embarrassed to play. Fight a shrew, it's not worth winning and don't be ashamed to die if you lose.
Seeing this, Xu Zixuan had no choice but to raise his golden gun and shouted: "(diàn), the last general will ask to play in the first game." ”
Zhao Mingyue shook her head and said, "No, you are not her opponent." ”
The generals were taken aback, Xu Zixuan was the first fierce general of the (jìn) army, and he couldn't beat that woman?
"(diàn) Do you know this woman?" Xu Zixuan asked.
"She is Li Jiqian's side concubine Helian Jingying, Helian Bobo's descendant, and this Tongwan City is left by her family." Zhao Mingyue said.
Shangguan Chengcheng continued: "She studied under Yan Yangtian of Yanziliang in Helan Mountain, but her martial arts have long been better than the blue, and it is said that Yan Yangtian also died in her hands. ”
Everyone couldn't help but gasp, so this woman has extremely high martial arts skills and a very vicious heart.
Helian Jingying on the opposite side began to insult again: "Tell Zhao Mingyue's shrunken turtle to come out, since you are so afraid of death, why do you come all the way here, just to seduce men?" ”
Zhao Mingyue heard her seducing men again and again, and understood in her heart that it was probably because Li Jiqian's idea of beating her was known by Helian Jingying, and she overturned the vinegar jar.
Xu Zixuan thought he was scolding badly, and said to Zhao Mingyue: "(diàn), let's ignore him and attack the city directly." ”
"No, I'll teach her a lesson." Shangguan Chengcheng said.
Zhao Mingyue nodded and said, "I can only rely on you, be careful." ”
Shangguan Chengcheng snorted coldly and said, "She doesn't deserve to let me be careful." As he spoke, he patted his horse on his back and walked out of the camp.
"Helian Jingying, your broken mouth is really a shame for your ancestors." Shangguan Chengcheng said coldly.
Helian Jingying suddenly saw Shangguan Allure, her face suddenly changed color, and she said in a trembling voice: "You are Zhao Mingyue's female guard?" ”
"Let's just put it that way."
"You, you actually aided the abuse, and were willing to be a lackey for the people of the Song Dynasty?" Helian pointed at Shangguan Chengcheng with the tip of his crystal sword and said angrily.
"Hmph, aiding the abuse? Say as if you're some kind of good person, stop talking nonsense, fight or not, go back if you don't fight. ”
Helian Jingying's face was extremely ugly
, fighting with Shangguan Allure, that is undoubtedly self-inflicted humiliation, it is better not to fight. So he snorted coldly and said: "I have a very good relationship with your mother (qíng), I regret her fall, but I didn't expect you to choose it like this, you can do it yourself." ”
After saying that, he turned his horse's head and led his troops back to the city.
Li Jiqian was a little puzzled and said: "Jingying, why did you come back before you fight, is this a victory or a defeat?" ”
Helian Jingying's face turned red and said: "Great King, the female guard you are talking about is the former Furong Palace Young Palace Master Shangguan Allure, and her martial arts are unparalleled in the world, I am not her opponent." ”
"Oh, I understand, the Furong Palace was occupied by Situ Jianghua, the palace master was killed, and the young palace master turned to the Song Dynasty, right?"
"Maybe not, the reason is very complicated, Zhao Mingyue and Shangguan Chengcheng have a man at the same time, that is, Ling Kun, the general of the Song Dynasty. Shangguan Allure appeared here, perhaps to help Ling Kun protect Zhao Mingyue. ”
"It's really hard to have this woman." Li Jiqian said indignantly: "Don't worry about it, the iron thistle is laid outside the city, and the city head is ready to roll wood and stones, guard the city, and spend ten days and half a month before talking." ”
Helian Jingying had no other choice but to remain silent.
The Western Xia could hold the city behind closed doors, but the Song army could not besiege the city on the spot.
At this moment, it was a harsh winter, and the Song army had no food and grass, but fortunately, there was water and fish in the Wuding River, and there were dead grass and fallen leaves on the bank, so that they could barely survive (rì).
Therefore, they must be quick to solve the problem.
However, it is difficult to win more with less, and to conquer the city, the real number is somewhat difficult.
Zhao Mingyue and Shangguan Chengcheng slept in the camp tent at night and discussed countermeasures, but they found nothing.
"Hey, if you said Ling Kun wanted to, how would he fight this battle?" Shangguan Chengcheng said that Ling Kun would always be the happiest topic for the two of them.
"Who knows, who would have thought of his tricks." Zhao Mingyue pouted and said.
"Yes, we can't think of his ghost tricks, so can we use the ghost tricks he used again?"
Zhao Mingyue frowned and said, "The trick used? Cannon, (chuáng) sub-crossbow, chain horse, empty city meter, chain meter, beauty meter, which one can be used? ”
Shangguan Chengcheng chuckled: "Of course the beauty trick is useful, Li Jiqian likes you so much." ”
Zhao Mingyue's face turned red and said, "I hate it, do my best."
Meaning, see me dedicate you to Li Jiqian for a year of peace in the imperial court. ”
"Hehe, yes, as long as Li Jiqian dares to ask for it, I dare to go in a hurry." Shangguan Allure is bold and bold, how can he be afraid of this.
"Forget it, you're someone's sweetheart, I'm going to give you away, how can I explain to him when I come back." Zhao Mingyue smiled bitterly: "Let's think of other ways, the cannon has no power, the chain horse is not suitable for siege, and the (chuáng) crossbow is only suitable for street ......fighting." ”
"Oh, I thought about it, the (chuáng) crossbow must be suitable for siege?" Shangguan Allure clapped his hands.
"(chuáng) How do you attack a city?" Zhao Mingyue asked.
"Tongwan City is so strong that an awl can't pierce it, but the (chuáng) crossbow is so powerful that it can definitely pierce into the city wall, and when the time comes, the thick crossbow arrow will pierce the city wall and block it, and the rolling wood and stone of Western Xia will lose its effect, and we can calmly attack the city. It's no different from fighting on flat ground. ”
"Oh, that's a good idea." Zhao Mingyue pondered.
"That's right, I'm a woman who has made a fortune in the world." Shangguan Allure said proudly.
Zhao Mingyue pursed her lips and teased: "Forget it, you just cooked rice with Ling Kunsheng, and you have his true inheritance." ”
Shangguan was ashamed, jumped over and grabbed Zhao Mingyue's neck and said angrily: "What nonsense, see how I clean you up." ”
Zhao Mingyue flipped her hand and scratched her squeaky nest, and Shangguan Chengcheng couldn't help but laugh on (chuáng).
The two fought for a while before stopping, Zhao Mingyue gasped and said: "The enemy is outnumbered, even if we successfully go to the city and enter the city, we still don't have an advantage, so we have to prepare a second plan for Li Jiqian." ”
"What's your idea?" Shangguan Chengcheng asked.
"I haven't thought of it yet, but there is time, and from tomorrow, it will take at least two days to build three chuáng crossbows. In the past two days, let's think about what kind of gift we will give to the king of Western Xia. ”
次 (rì) began early in the morning, and the Song army, under the personal command of Zhao Mingyue, began to build (chuáng) sub-crossbows. Wood can be taken from local materials, just cut a few trees by the Wuding River, the amount of wrought iron is not large, and a few iron chains reserved by the general's baggage battalion are transformed and used.
In addition, Zhao Mingyue also specially created a batch of special crossbow arrows, which were thicker and stronger than previous spears.
At the same time, the second plan in her heart has been planned, just waiting for a big battle.
