In less than half an hour, the Song army used mud and sand bags to build a solid mud and sand wall 100 steps away from the walled gate, which could not only defend against the impact of giant trees, but also resist arrows, at this time, more than 100 Song soldiers pushed three small trebuchets into the mud and sand defense wall.

The small trebuchet is actually not small, up to seven feet, and the throwing rod is up to two feet, but it is much smaller than the large trebuchet, but the small also has a small advantage, that is, it is easy to carry and install, only five or six mules can take away a small trebuchet, and then it can be quickly installed in half an hour, and at the same time it is very flexible, and even a simple care on the slope, it can also be stone-thrown.

A small trebuchet is indeed unrealistic for throwing a hundred-pound boulder, but it is just right for forty or fifty pounds of earth-shaking thunder, and Li Yanqing also takes a fancy to this point, so he will carry it with the army.

Inside the walled gate, Ke Mei watched nervously as the three trebuchets pushed up, and he was secretly glad in his heart that this small trebuchet could only throw forty or fifty catties of stones at most, and could not destroy the strong walled gate.

Three trebuchets have been installed in place, Han Shizhong gave an order, 20,000 crossbowmen quickly retreated, there were only fifteen people left in front of the trebuchet, this kind of winch-type small trebuchet only needs five people to operate, three swarthy earth-shaking thunderbolts have been put into the iron pocket, and the risk of throwing sky-shaking thunders on the slope is also extremely great, if the earth-shaking thunder does not explode in time, it is easy to injure their own people when they roll down.

This required that the person giving the order be well aware of the speed of the firerope, and the person who gave the order was a gunpowder maker, who swallowed his dry saliva and ordered the soldiers: "Light the fire!" ”

The three soldiers lit the arquebus at the same time, and the gunsmith stared at the arquebus, his eyes did not dare to blink, and at this time, the arquebus had already burned the red line at the bottom of the arquebus, and the gunpowder maker ordered: "No. 1 and No. 2 project, No. 3 wait!" ”

'Bang bang! Two trebuchets shot out at the same time, and two swarthy earth-shattering thunderbolts rose into the air and flew towards the gate.

"Three shots!" The gunsmith gave the second order.

'Bang! The third earth-shattering thunderbolt also shot out, and the gunsmith and fifteen soldiers threw themselves under the sandbags together, covering their ears tightly, not only them, but all the Song soldiers below had already been ordered to cover their ears and lie down together, and even the war horses turned their heads and covered their ears.

'Boom! Rumble! Rumble! There were three earth-shattering explosions, and the whole mountain almost collapsed, flames burst out, black smoke rose into the air, and splinters of wood and corpses were blown into the air.

After a while, the black smoke cleared, the gate was gone, the ground was littered with broken wood and corpses, the fortifications on both sides had collapsed, and the two thousand soldiers were either dead or faint, or they were stupid.

Han Shizhong yelled, "Kill in!" ”

"Kill!"

Nine thousand Song troops broke out with a shout and surged towards the cottage.

.........

In the Gyeongju Mansion, Yeli Yuanli sat down in the inner hall nervously, he and Lin De were very familiar, but the black and thin middle-aged man surnamed Mo next to Lin De had a cold gaze, which made him a little worried in his heart, and he was negotiating on behalf of the military, Ye Li Yuanli knew in his heart that he was the real negotiator, and Lin De was just a guest.

"Mr. Mo, Yeli Yuanli is the brother of the old chief of the Yeli Ministry, and he has also stayed in the Central Plains for many years, so there should be no problem for us to communicate!" Lin De smiled and introduced the negotiation partner in front of him to Mo Jun.

Lin De said to Yeli Yuanli again, "This Mr. Mo is Li Tongzhi's staff, and he is also the Jingzhao Army's record to join the army, so he can represent Li Tongzhi with full powers, and Yuanli can say frankly if he has any ideas, and he doesn't have any scruples." ”

Ye Li Yuanli hurriedly bowed to Mo Jun and said: "This rebellion is definitely not the original intention of my chief, but Ye Lifeng and Western Xia colluded to send troops, for which the old chief fell ill with anger and unfortunately died the day before yesterday. ”

Linde next to him was taken aback, "Has the old chief died?"

Ye Li Yuanli nodded, "Now it is the young lord Ye Li Sheng who takes over the position of chief. ”

At this time, Mo Jun asked coldly, "You brought a prisoner car, who is in the car?" ”

Ye Li Yuanli sighed, "It is Ye Lifeng, the culprit of this rebellion, our new chief has taken him down and sent him to the court to ask for guilt!" ”

Lin De said cautiously: "Mr. Mo, Ye Lisheng has always been very loyal to the imperial court, and this time he did not hesitate to send his brother to ask for guilt, I can see that they are sincere!" ”

Mo Jun shook his head, "Sincerity alone can't solve the problem, we also hope for a peaceful solution, but where is the basis for a peaceful solution?" I don't see it yet. ”

"I wonder what the basis of what Mr. is referring to?" Nori Motoli asked puzzled.

"The two counties of Qingdong and Baekhe were breached, how many people were slaughtered, and you looted everywhere in Gyeongju and Dunzhou, killing people and setting fires, do you think that sending a wild sharp edge can be exchanged for a truce?"

Speaking of this, Mo Jun stared at Yeli Yuanli fiercely, Yeli Yuanli wiped the sweat on his forehead and said: "The captured population will definitely be released, the plundered wealth will also be returned, and we will try our best to compensate the casualties." ”

Mo Jun nodded, "It seems that you are indeed sincere, since this is the case, I will open the window and say something, we have three conditions, agree to these three conditions, then the war can end." ”

After speaking, Mo Jun handed a list to Yeli Yuanli, and Lin De next to him sighed secretly, this asking price is too high, the black party is originally a poor tribe, how can it afford to compensate.

After reading the list, Yeli Yuanli's face suddenly changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "We don't have that much money to compensate!" ”

"Why don't you have any money, don't you have the money to buy weapons and armor from Yang Lin?"

"That silver was given to Ye Lifeng by Western Xia, and it has been spent, and our tribe is indeed very poor."

Mo Junhe said in a relaxed tone: "If you don't have money, you can take material compensation, we can accept sheepskin and medicinal materials, in short, the conditions cannot be changed, and you are running out of time." ”

Nori Yuanli was taken aback, "What does it mean that there is not much time?" ”

Mo Jun said slowly: "I estimate that at this time, the commander has already led the army to break through the Feituo Department!" ”

Yeli Yuanli was so shocked that his heart stopped beating, and after a while, he stammered: "I want to go back and report to the chief!" ”

"Then it's better to go back now, the later it drags on, the worse it will be for you."

Yeli Yuanli walked away with one foot in a shallow foot, and Linde asked in a low voice, "Is it true?" The control has broken through the Fei Tuo Department. ”

Mo Jun nodded, "In terms of time, it has already been breached." ”

Linde sighed, "I know them very well, they just make a little money by selling medicine and sheepskins, and if they want to compensate tens of thousands of yuan, they really can't take it out." ”

Mo Jun smiled: "Lin Zhizhou hasn't understood yet?" In fact, it is not about compensation, but about giving them a painful lesson, otherwise when the time is ripe in the future, they will have riots, Li Tongzhi has always told me that these foreign tribes cannot be too soft, too soft they will be arrogant, but they can't be too hard, too hard they will rebound, they must be soft with one hand and hard with the other. ”

"But the price is too high......"

Mo Jun waved his hand, "I have just said, this is just a means, they can't bear it, they can talk about it, but the premise is that they must completely surrender, Tongzhi is measured, what should be killed must be killed, and what should be released will definitely be released, he will take into account the actual difficulties of the black party items, and will not force them to a dead end, but the attitude must be in place, Zhizhou does not have to worry about this." ”

Lin De nodded, although he had been in contact with Li Yanqing for a short time, he keenly felt that Li Yanqing was decisive and skillful, this is clearly a kind of heroic temperament, is it wise for the imperial court to send him to Jingzhao to take charge of the military?

But now that Linde's fate is in Li Yanqing's hands, he has to throw away those doubts and wholeheartedly cooperate with Li Yanqing to subdue the black party.

．．．．．．．

Just as Lin De's worries, Li Yanqing's list of conditions suddenly gave Ye Lisheng huge pressure, in fact, he couldn't do any of these three, at most, he released the population plundered by Ye Lifeng, seized the property and returned it, and used Ye Lifeng's property and war horses to compensate for the debt, what about the other four?

Up to now, the other four families have not come to visit him, the big chief, but he wants them to give up their vital interests, how can it be done?

The reason why Yeli Yuanli was valued by the two Yeli brothers was that he was a rare military teacher-type talent, treacherous and cunning, and knew how to stand at the most critical moment, he was very aware of the chief's worries, and he also wanted to help the chief to make up for his mistake of following Ye Lifeng.

Yeli Yuanli pondered it for a moment and said cautiously: "Chief, in fact, I sometimes think that it is not all bad things for the Feituo Department to be breached. ”

When it comes to the Feituo Department, Ye Lisheng has a pain in his heart, the Feituo Department has fallen, almost all the adult men have been killed, women, children and children have become prisoners of war, and the hundred-year accumulation has been plundered by the Song army.

But Ye Lisheng also had to admit that he still had a trace of happiness in his heart, who let Ke Mei not come to see him, did not recognize his chief, who let them follow Ye Lifeng to make trouble, and now they are to blame for being slaughtered.

Ye Lisheng sighed, "I just hope that the other three will learn their lesson!" ”

At this time, a soldier reported outside the tent: "Chief Qiyu, the leaders of the Nanli tribe, the Mustang tribe and the beggar tribe have come to pay a visit!" ”

"Let him in!"

Ye Li Sheng glanced back at Ye Li Yuanli, "You're right, it's not exactly a bad thing!" ”
