Above the city tower, Han Desui, the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Liao Kingdom, stood on the side of the battlement with a pale face, and looked at the siege team under the city with fierce eyes. After getting the news that Zhuozhou was conquered by the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty a few days ago, Han De was first shocked and angry, scolding the Great Zhou people for being despicable and capricious, and actually tore up the agreement again. But soon, he felt that something was wrong.

After calming down, he immediately sent someone to find out the situation. Soon, he understood that this was just the private action of a small group of Great Zhou soldiers and horses in Bazhou City. The reason is very simple, the number of soldiers and horses attacking Zhuozhou is not large, and the soldiers and horses of other border towns in Dazhou did not attack together. Moreover, the convoy of materials for the Great Zhou to transport and negotiate compensation also entered the Liao border as usual. All this shows that it was the work of a small group of Great Zhou rebels. Their purpose is also obvious, that is, to sabotage the peace talks and provoke trouble.

Han De then reported the news to Yelu Zongyuan, and soon Yelu Zongyuan sent back instructions through the bird messenger, asking Han Desui to take full responsibility for this matter, sending an envoy to Da Zhou to inquire about the reason, and instructing Da Zhou to immediately settle the matter of the rebels. Han De immediately complied and sent an envoy to Bianliang to ask the Great Zhou court Xingshi about the crime, ask about the situation and take measures.

Han Desui thought that after this small group of Great Zhou rebels captured Zhuozhou City, they would only dare to retreat in the city. Han Desui didn't plan to send troops to attack, this kind of thing was of course the best thing for the Great Zhou court to use its own soldiers and horses, and let them clean up the rebels by themselves. With the soldiers and horses he currently has at hand, he sent troops to attack the city for the sake of a moment of anger, but the loss was his own people. There is no need for this at all. Da Zhou himself sent people to exterminate this rebellion, and the dead and injured were all their Da Zhou's people, which was the best way to deal with it. Han Desui also believed that the small group of rebels did not dare to make any other moves, after all, they only had 30,000 people, and the capture of Zhuozhou was already their greatest achievement.

However, what Han Desui never expected was that this soldier and horse would soon advance north, crossing the Sanggan River and heading towards Xijin Mansion, where he was located. Han Desui was really angry, these guys didn't even take themselves seriously, could it be that they thought that with those 30,000 soldiers and horses, they could capture Xijin Mansion like they captured Zhuozhou? A few months ago, Yang Jun, the privy envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack Xijin Mansion, and the result was defeat and death.

In any case, since they are here, they can only destroy this group of rebels themselves. It's nothing to kill people, and after the fact, find the Great Zhou court to knock another sum of silver, and you won't suffer a loss anyway. So Han De immediately ordered to prepare for the defense of the city, close the city gate to enter and exit, mobilize the soldiers and horses in the city, carry the materials for the defense of the city at the head of the city, and prepare for the battle. Although the other party only has 30,000 people, it is obvious that they are here to send them to death. But as an old and serious leader, Han Desui will not despise any opponent, and all the preparations that should be prepared are in place, and he is not sloppy at all.

Tonight, when a convoy of hundreds of trucks transporting supplies and grain from Datong in Xijing arrived at Xijin Mansion, Han Desui's heart was even more confident. Because Emperor Yelu Zongyuan was leading an army of 500,000 to attack Tokyo Province to fight against the Jurchens, all the materials and food had to be transported to the battlefield over there, and all the resources had to be tilted to the main battlefield, so the food and materials in the Xijin Mansion were actually not sufficient. A few only shipped compensation

When the convoy of materials passed through Xijin Prefecture, Han Desui did detain some of the materials, but he could not arbitrarily intercept them, because after all, the main battlefield was in Tokyo Province, and he had no reason to intercept these materials. Just intercept a few cars, you need to find some reason, otherwise you will be suspected of angering Yelu Zongyuan. But today it can be said that the heavens follow people's wishes, the rebels of the Great Zhou Dynasty are attacking the city, and they are going to fight against it, and there is a good reason for these hundreds of carts of materials to be intercepted. Because I need these things myself.

With these hundreds of trucks of supplies, there is no need to worry about the already victorious battle of defending the city. I don't need to be in a hurry at all, I can slowly consume these rebels and drag them to death. I don't need to be in a hurry to annihilate them, anyway, it's quite boring to be idle in Xijin Mansion, these people came to attack the city, and they should be idle and boring entertainment, and they will play slowly with them. The longer the battle is fought, the greater the credit will be in the future, and the more it can be said that it is a difficult battle. lest after the war in Liaoyang Mansion is over in the future, those generals who participated in the war will be arrogant in front of them.

If it weren't for the fact that the war was about to break out tonight, Han De would have personally gone to see the deputy general named Xiao Quan from Xijing who came by escort, and he would have to praise him a few words, he came too timely, and he was his lucky star.

Han De then knew according to the scout intelligence that the other party's troops were coming to the city tonight. He was also prepared. However, he thought that the other party should attack tomorrow, but he didn't expect that the other party would not even take a breath, so he immediately launched a siege battle, as if this city was within their reach. It was as if they could easily storm the city and spend the night in Sijin Province when they came here. This is contempt and contempt for themselves, and this group of rebels is too arrogant. Tonight's battle must be dealt hard, but not so badly that it scares them away. In short, it is very skillful to play.

……

"My lord, it seems that the flagpole is ...... What about General Zongze, this ...... How good is that? On the tower of the city, the generals beside Han Desui recognized the person on the flagpole who was shouting for help with his teeth and claws.

The reason why Han Desui turned pale was because of this incident. His most important and most hopeful son Han Zongze led 20,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Zhuozhou City. After the fall of the city, the Liao soldiers who fled back had already reported the news of Han Zongze's capture to Han Desui. Han Desui was angry and resentful after hearing the report.

His most important son, Han Zongze, when he talks about leading the army to fight on weekdays, the people who come out of his mouth are also like a few treasures, and the mouth is full of lotus flowers. I thought that my son was full of military books and had an unlimited future. In the future, the blue is better than the blue, and the achievement will be greater than that of oneself. But who would have thought that in a simple battle to defend the city, 20,000 defenders against 30,000 besieging enemies, even any of his generals would defend the city, and it would not last less than an hour to be overcome. What's even more annoying is that Han Zongze was so stupid that he didn't do his best to recapture it after the city was broken, and he put himself in danger and was captured alive by his opponent. It's just ridiculous, so stupid.

When the other party's siege soldiers tied Han Zongze to the flagpole and held him high in the air, Han De recognized that it was his stupid and boastful son who was embarrassed on paper. So his originally relaxed face

Shang Cai looked angry and gloomy.

Han Zongze was tied to the flagpole, like a fly stuck to a spider's web, his limbs were constantly waving, and he was struggling with loud cries for help.

"Han Desui, look at who this is? This is Han Zongze, the beloved son. If you want to save him, come out and talk about it. We have a suggestion, and if you can say yes, let your son live. Otherwise, your son will die. Inside the city, someone shouted loudly.

Since Han Zongze is Han Desui's beloved son, this chess piece naturally has to be used. The so-called talk is really just an excuse. The real purpose is to make the other party dare not release the arrows, and at the moment of shouting, the siege phalanx has advanced fifty steps to the city, and has already entered the range of the arrows at the head of the city. But because Han Zongze on the flagpole was there, the defenders at the head of the city did not dare to release arrows. That's the son of King Han.

Next to the battlements of the city tower, the muscles on Han Desui's face trembled, and his teeth rattled. He saw that the other party was sure that he would hesitate, so he used Han Zongze as a shield and used his own hesitation to move forward. The best strike range and distance of the bow and arrow is the distance from 100 steps to the bottom of the city, and after the opponent reaches the bottom of the city wall, it is a dead angle of the bow and arrow, which is convenient to avoid the most dangerous siege stage of being shot by the rain of arrows, which is greatly beneficial to them. And they got it right.

"Pass my orders...... Shoot the arrows! Han Desui shouted coldly.

"My lord, no. General Zong Ze is in their hands, the arrow does not have long eyes, this random arrow shoots, if it hurts General Zong Ze, how can it be good? The general on the side hurriedly shouted.

"Yes, Daddy, the fifth brother is in their hands." Han Desui's second son, Han Zongchang, also hurriedly spoke.

Han Desui turned pale, stretched out his hand and shouted coldly, "Bring the bow." ”

"This ......" Han Zongchang hesitated for a moment, and Han De shouted: "Take it!" ”

Han Zongchang hurriedly handed over the bow and arrow in his hand, Han De took the bow, bent the bow and aimed the arrow at the body of Han Zongze, who was shouting for help on the flagpole under the city, the muscles on his face twitched and trembled, and he whispered in his mouth: "Zongze, don't blame Daddy." State affairs are important, and Daddy has to sacrifice you. Daddy can't compromise with his enemies because of you, and he can't be coerced by them because of you. Blame it, you yourself are too careless, how can you be caught? If you blame Daddy for being ruthless, Daddy can't do anything about it. ”

As he spoke, Han De bent his bow like a full moon, and as soon as he let go of his hand, a feathered arrow shot out like a meteor. In the exclamation of the generals at the head of the city, the arrow hit Han Zongze's chest and penetrated through. Although they were a hundred steps apart, they seemed to be able to hear the terrifying sound of the bow and arrow breaking into the flesh, and they seemed to be able to see the blood flowers bursting out of Han Zongze's chest. Han Zongze's body shook violently with the penetration of this arrow, and he looked up in the direction of the city in disbelief. Even if he was a hundred steps away, his gaze pierced through the chaos of the night like a sharp sword, and fell on the bodies of everyone in the city, making people shudder. The next moment, Han Zongze roared, his head, hands and feet hung down, like a scarecrow on a flagpole, and he didn't make any movement anymore.

"Shoot the arrows!" Han Desui burst into tears and shouted loudly.
