Seven days after the Song army sent troops, Shun Song Mansion, which is known as Thang Long City in the Jiaozhi population, and all the fortifications on the periphery were conquered.

In the stunned expression of Li Xingzhi, the commander of Jiaozhi in the north, the 100,000 Song army had already surrounded the Shun Song Mansion, and the water did not leak, and the birds could not fly.

The Great Song Dynasty played a bad leading role in the surrounding Fanbang, and this Jiaozhi Li Dynasty is an example. Thang Long City, which was built almost with the strength of the whole country, is indeed strong enough.

The army of Fang Qifo began to launch a fierce attack on Thang Long City, after three days of stone artillery attacks around the clock, the city was full of rocks, the head of the city was difficult to gain a foothold, and the moat was almost blocked under the city, but the majestic, as wide as several zhang, as high as ten zhang of the city still stood firmly there.

On the night of the third day, under the cover of stone cannons, the city began to dig earth from nearby to build a stronghold.

Countless people advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and in the dark night, they did not mess at all, and began to dig and pile up in an orderly manner.

Li Yanghuan was crazy, and drove all the young men in the city to take turns to climb to the top of the city, thinking that he could finally get through it.

Overnight, all kinds of large-scale siege equipment outside the city had already been prepared, and even a mountain of earth had been piled up in front of the battle, a mountain of earth that was several feet higher than the head of the city.

This earthen mountain was built, so that the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty could stand on the earthen mountain and shoot arrows into the city condescendingly, preventing the defenders from holding the city. What's even more terrifying is the amazing power of the giant crossbow, which is the watchman skill of the Song army galloping across the field.

No matter what, Li Yanghuan couldn't figure out how he built this stronghold overnight.

Could it be that the Han people, from their mother's womb, will dig earth, carry it, and build cities?

Before they could figure it out, the crossbow bed in the stronghold had already begun to shoot the officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty who were defending the city.

Li Yanghuan mobilized all his forces to defend the city, in order to preserve his strength, he put his elite soldiers in the inner city to store, and the pioneers made the officials and wealthy families in the city bring their slaves and generals to defend the city to consume the strength of the Song army.

This dwarf emperor personally supervised the battle with a sword, and if someone slacked off in battle and refused to use his life, he immediately asked the guards to kill the head of the family, and the property as a reward for the prostitutes, and became a reward for the soldiers who served their lives to the death.

This hand was really vicious, forcing all the people who were driven to the city to be cannon fodder to resist desperately, even if they scolded Li Yanghuan in their hearts, but Thang Long City was firmly defended.

After the army, Yang Lin brought his personal guards and the soldiers of Fanbang around Jiaozhi to watch the battle.

On the high mountain in the east of the city, a few giant trees were cut into stools, and Yang Lin sat under the canopy, looking at the Song army under the city.

The chief generals of several Fanbangs, in the hundred years in this vicinity, He has seen more than 100,000 horses on both sides fighting.

Tens of thousands of them are rare big scenes, not to mention the more than 100,000 people under the city, all of them are all armor and banners, which is even stronger.

Fang Qifo commanded the battle, his face sinking like water, coldly scanning every corner of the battlefield.

He raised his hand gently, and the moment he put it down, the flag waved, and the majestic and desolate trumpet sounded.

The various departments moved together, and at first they converged into a loud sound because of their uniformity.

Then there was the earth-shattering shouting of killing, and countless Song troops pushed the crashing car, rushing the car, and the cloud ladder, and rushed to the city wall.

On the dirt mountain, rows of crossbow archers took advantage of the range advantage to snipe the enemy soldiers defending the city.

The Song army's offensive became more and more fierce each time, and Thang Long City was still firmly in the hands of Li Yanghuan, but it was already destined to be a hopeless war.

All foreign aid has been cut off, and the only result of holding the city is to make those who want to enter the city pay a heavier price.

But there was no hope for the people of the city, and the sun that rose in the east every day was bleak in their eyes.

Every day, a group of walking corpses are forced to die in the city, and there is no laughter, and there is very little conversation between people, and the silence is like a dead city...

No one had the courage to welcome Empress Lan Ying back in Kaesong, because they were all intimidated by Li Yanghuan's brutal methods.

The city was littered with hanging corpses, as well as ragged women tied up in the streets.

Either they were afraid to go up to the city, or they had no male in their homes.

Li Yanghuan killed all the men who did not dare to go to the city, tied up the female dependents on the street, and any soldier and general could insult them in the street at will.

People who lose hope will not retain their humanity, but more of their animal nature will be stimulated.

Ugly human tragedies are constantly playing out in the city, and the sun is fierce in Thang Long City, giving people the feeling of despair and suffocating darkness.

On the high mountain outside the city, Yang Lin looked back and smiled: "There is no suspense in this battle, the fall of the Li Dynasty is imminent, you and others are all the Fanbangs around this Jiaozhi, and you should also go back and tell your royal lords to govern the land under the Great Song Dynasty with peace of mind, don't have selfish thoughts, don't mistake people and yourself, at that time, the army will be overwhelmed, and there is absolutely no reason to put the knife back into the sheath." ”

This is already a clear beating, but the situation is stronger than people, and the scene under the city is the most appropriate example.

These people hurriedly showed their loyalty, scrambling one by one, Yang Lin chuckled lightly and turned around.

The Jiaozhi people are ruthless enough, if it is an ordinary general who marches south, I am afraid it will be difficult to completely conquer this place. Even after the fight, there were constant rebellions, and they couldn't stop for many years.

But Yang Lin believes that he can, because he understands himself and is much more ruthless than Jiaozhi people.

The siege battle under the city has entered the stage of white-hot road, and the city gate has also been smashed into pits.

The inside must have been sealed with earth and stones, otherwise the gate would have been opened.

At the head of the city, there were soldiers of the Song army who kept climbing the city tower, and the swords and soldiers of the Jiaozhi people who were still fighting were trapped. On dirt hills, they also have the cover of long-range shooters.

The Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia fought for a hundred years, and for both sides, it was a competition of armaments and armaments.

Not to mention anything else, take the crossbow as an example, the Song and Western Xia are both the best in the world.

Now that Western Xia has been incorporated into the Great Song Dynasty, there is no opponent in crossbow arrows.

"In Xining, Li Dingxian set up a crossbow, like a bow and stirrups. With the stirrup from the ground and open it, shoot 300 steps, can be re-pierced in the hole, called the 'god arm bow', the most sharp weapon. ”

This divine arm bow, also known as the divine arm crossbow, can be said to be the most powerful weapon in the era of cold weapons.

The body of the bow is three feet two inches, the string is two feet long and five inches, the arrow feather is several inches long, and it shoots more than 240 steps, and enters the elm wood halfway.

The most powerful Divine Arm bow can reach four stones and six buckets, which is equivalent to 269 kilograms. With such a large pulling force, it is impossible to pull away by the strength of the human arm, and even if it is wound in the way of waist tension, it also needs the assistance of the mechanism.

It's a pity that this is destined to be a clever mechanism, and it will be lost early in later generations.

On the historical trajectory of later generations, after the disgrace of Jingkang, the production method of the divine arm crossbow was lost, and only a small part of the finished products remained. The Southern Song Dynasty had imitated it, but after all, it was not as good as the original, and the rally force was only two stones and three buckets.

Today, on the dirt mountain, there are a large number of divine arm bows, and the defenders of the suppressed city head will die when they show their heads, and countless corpses will lie down.

Relying on such a strong long-range firepower, the Song army gradually climbed to the top of the city, and the city tower became a battlefield for handover of handovers.

Yang Lin picked up the clairvoyant mirror and saw that the Song army's siege was textbook-level.

All departments cooperate tacitly, the equipment is used properly, and no place is sacrificed in vain.

At sunset, the eastern city was all occupied by the Song army, and a steady stream of Song troops climbed up the ladder.

The gate of the so-called Thang Long City has been trampled under the feet of the Song people.

Yang Lin's eyes closed, feeling the shouting and killing sound of the battlefield, and the fishy smell of blood mixed with the pungent gunsmoke.

Yang Lin has already begun to lay out in his heart, taking Shenglong City, and the foundation of the Li Dynasty's rule has been broken.

Support the puppet Lan Ying, minimize the resistance of the Jiaozhi people, quickly pacify the southern part of Jiaozhi, and then take back the Great Song Dynasty. This puppet must be very obedient, and firmly in his own hands, to be a competent "traitor".

This series of things must be completed before New Year's Day, and at the end of the second year of Xuanhe, he will be crowned king.
