Chapter 224: Traitor's Poisonous Scheme
The inside of this kind of car is divided into two layers, the lower level is the person pushing the wheel, and the upper level is filled with things to fill the ditch. Things are composite and divided into three layers. At the bottom is a shelf made of large branches, in the middle is a straw mat, and at the top is soil. Push these three layers into the moat at once, and they will sink slowly and will not fall apart. Immediately after that, push down another group of the same thing, and so on, until the river is filled in.
The beauty of this method of filling is that in the second and third layers, the straw mats and branches in them can be burned, as long as people are sent out of the city in time to ambush and light a fire by the moat, they can be burned, and the remaining layer of soil, just by falling into the river, is similar to digging soil with a shovel to fill a ditch.
After Yan Zonghan added his army and ordnance, these failed to work, and Taiyuan City still stood still.
At that time, there were two paths in front of him: either he continued to spend here, and maybe there would be a day when he would be breached, but who knew where the deadline was? Either drive straight in, leave Taiyuan City behind, and attack Kaifeng, after all, it is the capital of the Song Dynasty. However, if it still can't be broken, and the way back is still blocked by the three northern towns, then it will be a big trouble.
At that moment, Wanyan Zonghan's head finally worked, and he decided to wait two more days. In the dark, he didn't know what he felt, but he still had a fluke mentality, and in the end, the last few days really became a lifesaver that overwhelmed Taiyuan City. The city of Taiyuan was breached, and after the Jin army entered the city, they found that it was an empty city full of bones, no horses, cows, mules, bows, crossbows, and leather armor. Pingshi, chaff, grass and so on, were all eaten by the soldiers and civilians defending the city.
The city of Taiyuan was starved. After more than 270 days of siege, without the assistance of a single soldier, if Wanyan Zonghan wavered and took a step earlier, it would give them a chance to breathe, or break through or grab food, which could be somewhat variable. But Wanyan Zonghan's luck was very good, he chose to continue the attack, so Taiyuan City fell.
And now, Wanyan Yinshu can remind him not to give up, and let Kaifeng City become the second Taiyuan.
Although Wanyan Zonghan knew that opening the lockdown itself this time was no different from fighting Taiyuan, and it was already a matter of time before Kaifeng was conquered, but the sudden appearance of the guy who was called "immortal" by the Song people changed everything.
Now he is even worried about his personal safety.
"Our army should continue to attack, but now the siege equipment is all destroyed, and it can't be built in a hurry, if the demon comes to make trouble again, I'm afraid that our army is eager and difficult to resist." Wanyan Lou said, "For the sake of today's plan, we should quickly withdraw our troops and return to China, and negotiate peace with the Song people." ”
Wanyan Lou Room has always had the reputation of "constant victory" in the Jin army, and now he actually put forward a proposal to retreat, hearing his words, remembering that the "demon" spit fire and burned nearly 10,000 people in the first battle, and all the generals of the Jin army changed color.
"That demon is indeed powerful, but it is not an incorruptible body of King Kong, and people can't hurt it." Wan Yan Yinshu said, "When our crossbowmen chased him, he grabbed his shield to resist, obviously afraid of the sharp arrows fired by the bow and crossbow, and then stabbed him with a lance for the 'Iron Floating Tu', proving that he is also a flesh and blood body, since it is a flesh and blood body, even if it has strange power, it can be killed." ”
"Now this demon is the biggest obstacle for our army to attack Song Jing, how can you kill it?" Wanyan Zong looked at Wanyan Yinshu and asked.
Seeing the second prince asking, Wanyan Yinshu was speechless for a while, and even the most elite "Tiefutu" of the Jin Army was broken twice in front of the demon, killing and injuring many people, and he really couldn't think of any way to deal with that demon.
"The siege equipment has been destroyed, and our army has suffered heavy losses, so it is better to withdraw from the army," Wanyan Zongwang obviously supported Wanyan Lou's opinion, "But we must first send someone to negotiate with the Song Dynasty and delay time, so that our army has time to cross the Yellow River quickly and unhindered, otherwise as soon as the Song reinforcements arrive, the demon will recover from his injuries and come to make trouble, and our army will be killed." ”
"The Song people are superstitious, they think that the demon is an immortal, and they think that they were sent by God to save Song Jing, so they are tired of running for their lives, but they can still refuse, if they can kill the demon man, and order them with their corpses to the city, the Song people will be terrified, and their capital can be taken down without attacking." A Jin army general sitting in the back said.
Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang brothers coincidentally followed the prestige and saw that it was the general Liu Yanzong who spoke.
Liu Yanzong is a native of Daxing Wanping. His distant ancestor Liu Yi was the envoy of the Tang Dynasty Lulong Festival. Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Youyun to the Liao State, and the six generations of the Liu family were all officials of the Liao State and successively served as the prime minister. Liu Yanzong's father, Liu Xiao, was an official who stayed in Zhongjing. Liu Yanzong was promoted to the second branch of the Jinshi branch in Liao. After Jin invaded Liao, Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzuo of Liao State fled to Tiande, Yelu Jianli, the king of Qin and Jin, established himself as emperor in Yanjing and promoted Liu Yanzong to be the judge who stayed behind. When Concubine Xiao was in charge of the government, she was moved to sign the Privy Council. Jin Taizu Wanyan Agu beat to Juyong Pass, Concubine Xiao escaped from Gubeikou, and the capital eunuch Gao Liu sent a name card to Wanyan Agu. Wanyan Agu drove to Liaojing, and the car was stationed in the south of the city, and Liu Yanzong and Zuo Qigong surrendered. When he saw it, he was very serious, and he was named the left servant and wore a gold medal. Later, Liu Yanzong was appointed as a servant under Jin Rentongzhongshu and knew the affairs of the Privy Council, and assisted Wanyan Zongwang to lead the army. After the death of Yan Aguda, Jin Taizong completed Yan Wu begging to buy the throne, and his faith was as heavy as before, and soon the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty, Liu Yanzong presented ten offensive strategies, and after Yan Wu begged to buy it, he immediately issued an edict Liu Yanzong concurrently served as the commander of the Han army.
"Does Lu Kai have a clever plan to destroy that demon?" Hearing Liu Yanzong's words, Wanyan Zonghan asked.
Liu Yanzong got up, respectfully bowed to Wanyan Zonghan, and said: "Since the demon is flesh and blood, the sword can hurt, it must be afraid of poison like ordinary people, the Song people are good at poison, in the past, the queen of Li was for Song Taizong to poison with 'machine medicine', our army can make medicine arrows from highly poisonous medicine, and when the demon appears, he can shoot it with medicine arrows, and he can take his life. ”
After listening to Liu Yanzong's suggestion, Wanyan Zonghan was silent, but Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yinshu were overjoyed.
"I estimate that although the demon was injured last time, it was not serious, and he was greedy for merit, and he may attack the camp again in the near future, and our army can just destroy it." Liu Yanzong said again.
"How do you make the medicine arrow? Where to find poison? Wanyan Zonghan asked.
"Don't bother Your Highness, that medicine arrow is already prepared in my camp, about a thousand or so, but it was obtained from the Song army, its poison is extremely strong, and the middle one dies immediately." Liu Yanzong said, "If His Highness allows it, you can pay the 'Iron Floating Massacre' test first." If the demon comes, he can shoot it, and if he has one of the arrows, he will be killed in an instant. ”
