Chapter 383: He once wore gold armor due to national difficulties

Under the city of Zhuozhou, the Song army surrounded on all sides, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

From a distance, the Song Army's unique Fan Yang hat, with pieces of red tassels on the top of the hat, flew like flames, converging into a sea of fire, which was terrifying.

Yang Lin put his hands behind his back, and took the Yandi heroes who had just eaten and drunk to watch the battle from a high place, this battle was bound to be fought beautifully, and these newly attached Yan people knew the strength of the Great Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, in this troubled world, people's hearts are repeated, and it is not impossible for these people to vote for others. The people of Yandi were originally light and aggressive, as long as they were young and strong men, most of them rode inferior horses and drove hard bows. The people are fierce, although they are a little lighter in the general righteousness - for no other reason. It has been separated from the Han family for more than 100 years, and this is naturally much lighter.

Pull them together in your hands, otherwise they can only defect to the Jurchens, and in the future they will be enemies of the Great Song Dynasty, which will be doubly harmful. Moreover, these powerful private soldiers of Yandi are all good soldiers once they return to the Great Song Dynasty. At least compared to the vast majority of soldiers and horses in the Great Song Dynasty, it is still three or two points stronger.

More than 10,000 people and horses can be boundless, at this time Zhuozhou City under the army and horses are more than 100,000, it seems that there is really a whip to cut off the stream, raise hands like a cloud of huge momentum.

After accumulating strength for so long, how could it not be sufficient to mobilize the entire Great Song Dynasty for the battle of Yan.

In fact, in terms of material supply alone, this battle has surpassed the Yongxi Northern Expedition of that year. The three armies are ready to go, and Xiao Gan, the king of Xi in the city, is also preparing for his first battle. Xi Ren has been suppressed for so long, and he has long lost the mind to resist, but he can't suppress some nobles like Xiao Gan, who are always trying to restore the country and live a dream of being an emperor.

Yang Lin was so nervous that he was pounding, but he could be regarded as having practiced a good skill, that is, his face did not change.

forcibly suppressed his excitement, waved his hand and said lightly: "The last time has come, Xiao Gan has not surrendered, let's fight..."

The people around him are all heartbroken, this is the style of the king, just like the big city that the Song Dynasty can't take in a hundred years, the sore spot in the hearts of the heroes of the Han family - Zhuozhou City, in front of him is the same as the white give.

The sound of the horn sounded again, and the flags of the four corners waved in unison, and the army that did not move like a mountain slowly moved forward.

The siege has officially begun! At the beginning, it was the climax, without the slightest delay, this battle was the first battle of the Great Song Dynasty in the north, and it was inevitable from top to bottom.

Rows of cluster-like crossbow arrows, as if they did not cost money, poured on the city, in the violent blow of the storm, there were more than 100 stone throwing machines, smashed hundreds of pounds of stone bullets to the city head, each boulder smashed down, all rose up a thick cloud of yellow smoke, and the good Zhuozhou city wall suddenly rose yellow smoke everywhere. At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, there was no stone cannon on the battle array, Song Taizu attacked Taiyuan, Song Taizong attacked Youzhou such a strong city, the battle array or feather arrows covered the city head to suppress, cover the city under the digging of the city caves, with crashes, rushing cars, ladder cars and other attack tools directly thin the city such a tactic, and did not use stone artillery.

It was not until the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia attacked for decades that the Western Xia army began to use stone artillery, and the Song army was soon equipped with such weapons. Of course, stone cannons are still used to kill and injure soldiers and horses, and it is more likely to use trebuchets to shoot the huge stones onto the city walls, which is terrifying to watch.

This kind of overwhelming magnificence can be seen clearly by Yang Lin and others who are watching the battle from a high place, which is simply the power of shaking heaven and earth.

One by one, ordinary soldiers and soldiers formed this kind of formation, which made the Yandi heroes suddenly feel that this was a war, and the Yandi disputes that they had experienced before were just small fights.

Yandi has a lot of yellow mud, these loess is very sticky, after ramming and solidifying, it is really as strong as cement, and it is a little more tough than cement, which is most suitable for building cities.

Zhuozhou is a big state, it has been an important military town in the past dynasties, and the city wall is naturally very thick, otherwise under the bombardment of such a boulder, the ordinary city wall will easily break and collapse.

The Liao soldiers at the head of the city stubbornly fought back at the Song army under the city, and after rows of sharp arrows squeaked and hooked the strings, they attacked the Song army below the city like locusts.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the start of the war, the Yan people in the high places had already seen the result, and if there were no other changes, the Liao people in the city would not be able to hold on for long.

The Great Song army had inexhaustible weapons and equipment, and there were mountains of grain and rice supplies, and follow-up grain and straw were still being transported in a steady stream. The Liao people trapped in Zhuozhou were themselves isolated and helpless, and many strong soldiers and supplies were transferred to Yanjing City to fight the Jurchens.

This extremely unequal difference in strength will make the mentality of the two sides of the battle completely different, and the Da Song side will definitely become more and more imposing the more they fight. How long the Liao people in the city can support it depends on their will.

Xiao Gan has ambitious ambitions, but the Liao people may not fight to the death for this King Xi, the Great Liao has been shattered, and in this border land, how many loyal warriors are there to restore the country? To put it mildly, the Liao people don't know what they're fighting for...

The offensive of the Song army outside the city was slightly reduced, and the first round of attack had consumed enough supplies.

The Liao people had died enough, and the city tower was full of corpses, but the Song army they shot was quickly replenished, and it seemed that they could never finish killing.

A sense of desperation slowly spread across the city, and they could only shrink under the low walls of the towers, risking their lives to shoot arrows again and again.

This time, the Great Song Dynasty had 150,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 500,000 people, almost all the young men and women of Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, and all the prefectures and counties, and carried and replenished supplies after the army.

In every gesture, mobilizing the power of hundreds of thousands of people is what countless men in this world have thrown their heads and spilled their blood to fight for.

Yang Lin's slogan is also very clear, World War I will end the invasion of foreign races for a hundred years, and let the land of Hebei become a prosperous and rich land of the Han family again.

On the battlefield, arrows and stones flew sideways, shouting and killing like thunder, and the Yandi heroes standing behind Yang Lin had been completely convinced so far, even if Zhuozhou had not been captured, they did not regret their move to surrender to Song.

With this combat power, if you get the land of Youyan in the future, are you afraid that you won't be able to hold it?

With a bang, the gate of Zhuozhou City was finally smashed under the bombardment of the boulder, and a hole appeared in the solid Zhuozhou City.

In the military array below, Han Shizhong looked at it coldly, standing proudly under the banner, and in front of him was a group of burly soldiers.

"When the army destroyed Xia and pressed Xingqing Mansion, Han Shizhong took the lead as the striker, rushed through the capital of the summer thief, and became a pawn in the army to today's identity. You bird soldiers, who are not greedy behind you, scolding a few words is just luck.

Now your luck has also come, and I will also give you this opportunity, those who charge into Zhuozhou first, the bounty is 100 taels, and the official promotion horse is the commander. ”

"Come on, serve wine to all the strong men."

A soldier came up carrying a jar of good wine, Han Shizhong and them each had a bowl, and after drinking it on their backs, everyone's faces were excited and red.

Hu Yantong was also among them, took the lead in smashing the bowl and wiping his lips, and said, "Fuck Bird Zhuozhou, what can you do to stop me?" ”

After saying that, he howled, held a shield in his left hand and a simple knife in his right hand, slapped the knife on the shield vigorously, made a sonorous sound, and roared out of the camp with the hundred and ten people.

The order flag waved, and the large array of Chinese troops split from the middle, making way for them one after another.
