After a tentative attack, Yeluhonki launched an all-out siege. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He sent Yelu Huage and Xiao Dayou to lead the troops, and they took turns to pounce on Shanhaiguan.

The tide of the crowd swarmed and killed, without a moment's stop, they carried the ladder, with the climbing rope, with the most rudimentary tools, in a vain attempt to capture the Xiongguan in front of them!

Liu Yu only gave them two words - dreaming!

Since the organization of production in the industrial mode, the efficiency has increased by hundreds of times, thousands of times, and there is no need to worry about the lack of weapons. Take the bed crossbow as an example, Shanhaiguan is equipped with a thousand crossbows, all kinds of crossbow arrows, pointed, round, blunt, sickle-shaped, with fierce fire oil, with gunpowder, and reinforced with iron nails, which are piled up in the armory, so many that they cannot be used up.

When Wang Ningan was dealing with the money shortage, he found a very fatal problem, the tax revenue of the Song Dynasty ranked first in all dynasties, but in fact, compared with the developed economy of the Song Dynasty, these taxes are still too little, especially the monetary tax, which is only twenty or thirty million yuan, which is pitiful!

The efficiency of the use of a large number of physical objects is very low, so there is a problem, the wealth at the disposal of the imperial court is insufficient, and when it encounters a large project, it must rely on the strong requisition of civilian labor, free of charge for the imperial court to repair the city wall, river work, transport grain and grass, and so on...... As a result, the people are wasted and the people's resources are wasted, which is also the reason why the Confucian clique has always opposed large-scale construction and war.

can recover Youzhou, such a big war, using hundreds of thousands of troops, millions of people, according to past experience, will definitely make the people miserable, boiling against the sky, tossing and starving all over the place, and even provoke the people to revolt......

Surprisingly, the Great Song Dynasty did not have these conditions, on the contrary, it was still thriving, commerce and trade were prosperous, and the civil officials could not see clearly, so they could only say that God blessed the Great Song Dynasty, and His Majesty was blessed with all the heavens.

Wang Ningan can see that there is only one key thing, that is, he spent money! And it cost a lot of money!

The Royal Bank alone issued 36 million yuan of war bonds, and Wang Ning'an's available funds were close to 100 million yuan.

Grain was procured, money was paid at market prices, civilian men were hired, wages were paid at market prices, livestock and horses were requisitioned, and military supplies were purchased...... None of them are forced.

If the real money is sprinkled, it is too late for the common people to be busy making money, who will add chaos to the court.

After this experience, Wang Ningan has a better understanding of the role of money.

Forced conscription of people can only come from house to house, stipulating how many people each family will have, regardless of whether there is farm work in the family or not, whether they want to go or not.

Recruiting workers with money is completely voluntary, there are countless people in the Great Song Dynasty, and idle men are everywhere, as long as the price is right, they are not happy to earn money to support their families!

In the final analysis, money represents purchasing power, and where money goes, it is where it goes!

Understanding this truth, the Confucian so-called saying of cherishing the people's power is untenable.

Guarding Shanhaiguan means guarding the entire Youzhou, which has vast pastures and is one of the main producing areas of wool, which is coveted by merchants of the Great Song Dynasty.

Grasping the trend of interests, Wang Ningan was able to issue bonds to textile merchants, and use the money to purchase military supplies in Pingxian County, which would continue to supply the front.

The result of this is that not only does it not waste people's power, but it stimulates the military industry, drives the economy, and benefits hundreds of people!

Rows of bed crossbows, trebuchets, countless tanks of fire oil, numerous crossbows, bows and arrows...... There are a large number of people who are afraid that the Song army will be defeated!

Liu Yu can tilt wildly at any cost.

Every time the Liao soldiers charged, within 500 paces, the bed crossbow struck like a storm, and their crowd was reduced by at least a quarter.

Rushing forward, trebuchets, fierce fire oil, falling from the sky, exploding, firelight, and taking away a small half of the soldiers.

When they rushed to the bottom of the city, climbed the ladder, and climbed up with the climbing rope, the bows and arrows, crossbow arrows, ash bottles, and rolling wood of the Song army smashed down as if they didn't want money.

Some Liao soldiers were hit head-on, their faces were covered with quicklime, they screamed in pain, covered their eyes, and fell down the ladder, and after a while, their eyeballs were burned blind.

There are also Liao soldiers who were shot into hedgehogs by bows and arrows, which makes people angry that the firepower of the Great Song Dynasty is so strong, and they are still scoundrels, their bows and arrows, crossbow arrows are smeared with poison, or soaked in dung.

As long as it is shot, even if it is just a small wound, it will be fatal!

……

"Shameless, despicable, villain!"

Yelu Hongji scolded bitterly, as the so-called who brings what soldiers, from the virtue of the Song army, it can be seen that he is really similar to Wang Ning'an!!

Don't think I'll be scared!

Come on!

See who's got the last laugh!

Yelu Hongji was ruthless, over and over again, regardless of sacrifice, regardless of the cost, from morning to night, from late to morning...... The corpses outside the city have been piled up, and now the weather is very cold, and there is no time to clean it up, the corpses are frozen, and they are paved down layer by layer, and a small mountain is formed!

The three-zhang high Shanhaiguan actually looked low in front of the corpse mountain.

The Liao soldiers stepped on the corpses of their companions and rushed madly to the city, and in addition to carrying siege equipment, they also took hammers and iron drills and smashed the city walls.

After all, Yelu Hongji still didn't believe that within three months, he could actually build a Guancheng!

The Liao soldiers raised their hammers and smashed them down, and the city wall did not even fall with a little dust.

These stout Liao soldiers were ruthless, hammer after hammer, and kept knocking, and the entire Shanhaiguan was like a stone carved out, which was extremely strong.

I don't know how long I smashed it, but my arms didn't have any strength at all, the hammer fell to the ground, and both hands were full of blood, and the tiger's mouth was shattered.

Shanhaiguan is not only not a good thing, but it is stronger than other cities!

"Hahaha! Ignorant Liao Kou, where do you know that the Six Arts Academy is powerful! ”

Looking at those stupid guys, Liu Yu laughed loudly, he really wanted to watch it like this, but he remembered what Wang Ningan told him, do everything to eliminate evil, lions fight rabbits, and use all your strength!

"Throw!"

The huge rolling log fell, smashing the Liao soldiers into meatloaf.

On the second day of the battle, a Liao soldier finally knocked down a cement lump the size of a basin, and as if he had obtained a treasure, he ran back.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his back and thighs, and his body shook, but he stiffened and did not fall.

Blood was dripping all the way, and he ran in front of Yelu Hongji and fell down with a bang.

Yelu Hongji did not care about the Liao soldiers, but took the cement lump in his hand, looked at it carefully, and looked at it very much like a stone, but if he looked closely, it was not like it. In the place of fracture, large and small sand and gravel can be seen, evenly distributed in it.

Yeluhongji was not reconciled, he drew his sword and slashed down, leaving only a white mark.

It's frighteningly hard!

Again!

continued to slash, slashing so that his arms were numb, his forehead was sweating, the cement block finally broke from the middle, and Yelu Hongji's Son of Heaven sword was also curled.

Staring at the broken place, Yelu Hongji was stunned!

It's true!

He felt a strong sense of powerlessness!

Not long ago, Yelu Hongji was still obsessed with the things of the Great Song Dynasty, and what amazed him the most was the glass mirror, which could illuminate people clearly, and how many spots on his face could be seen clearly.

The ladies of the Khitan did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy two or three feet high glass mirrors, and all day long, they kept dangling in front of the mirror, twisting their waists, admiring new clothes and jewelry, and were fascinated by the gorgeous dress, and couldn't extricate themselves!

Seeing the cement block in front of him, Yelu Hongji easily thought that most of this was the thing that Da Song Xin made!

The glass mirror eliminated the copper mirror, and this thing eliminated the lime triple soil...... What are the heads of the Han people made of, and why are they so smart?

God, did you give all your wisdom to the Han people?

How could they make so many amazing things?

I'm not convinced!

I'm not convinced!

Yelu Hongji shouted frantically, his eyes turned a terrible blood, and the people around him couldn't help but be frightened, and some people dared to say: "Your Majesty, are you ...... retreat?"

Before he could finish speaking, Yelu Hongji snatched one of the guard's knives from him, and blood splattered, and his head flew up. Blood splattered on Yeluhongji's body, like a hideous ghost.

"Refund what? Whoever dares to say that he will withdraw from the army will be killed immediately! ”

The Liao army's offensive continued, and the battle became more intense, and they stepped on the corpses several times and rushed to the city, but fortunately they were shot back by the crossbow arrows of the Song army.

Although Shanhaiguan has many weapons and is not afraid of consumption, people are not machines after all, and there are always times when they are tired, and the Song army also suffered casualties.

The Khitan archers hid behind other soldiers and attacked the city from time to time, and many of the brothers were wounded by arrows, and some were shot and fell to their deaths.

The whole battle was going on extremely tragically, without the slightest stop, and the corpses outside the city almost submerged Shanhaiguan.

……

"Is this Yelu Hongji crazy?"

Wang Ningan got the battle report, the fierce battle at Shanhaiguan has been fought for 5 days, and Yelu Hongji has paid the price of no less than 10,000 people, what is he going to do?

Do you want to have a wrecked boat and fight to the end?

Perhaps, what else is he conspiring to......

"He does have a conspiracy!"

Xiao Guanyin sent Wang Ning'an a statistical booklet of grain and grass, and seeing that he was worried about the battle report, Xiao Guanyin bit his teeth and asserted.

Wang Ningan raised his head and said curiously: "Miss Xiao, you know? ”

"Hmm!"

Xiao Guanyin nodded, "Do you know a tradition of the grassland?" ”

Wang Ningan shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"When I was a child, my father said, he said that before the founding of the Khitan state, the grassland was strife, wars were continuous, and the life of the tribe was very hard. If there is a continuous blizzard, and the livestock freeze to death, without food or drink, some old and frail people will take off their clothes and go to the vast snowy field, where they will freeze to death, and be swallowed by the blind wolves and bears, leaving behind a limited amount of food for the young and strong and the women to live......"

Wang Ningan listened, took a deep breath, and sighed for a while: "This is a strong man with a broken wrist!" ”

Xiao Guanyin sneered: "Yelu Hongji is also a strong man? He's a villain! Ruthless villain! ”

Wang Ningan didn't care about Xiao Guanyin's paranoia, but fell into thought.

The king must be ruthless!

Yelu Hongji has realized that he is definitely a strong enemy!
