Chapter 235: The King of Blood
Hundreds of artillery pieces bombarded the walls of Jingshi City in turn, and Jingshi City was unscathed under the bombardment of hundreds of artillery. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is already a sharp weapon that the Liao army can take to attack the city. As for the stone thrower, the width of the base of the city wall of Jingshi City is up to seven zhang. With such a width, the stones thrown by the stone thrower could not destroy the walls of Jingshi Castle at all.
The Liao army was able to defeat all the Zhao army, but it was helpless in the face of a dead wall.
Wanyan Shengcong was worried, the Liao army was thousands of miles away, at the cost of the fate of the entire clan, risking the danger to arrive at the foot of the Jingshi City, and was helpless in front of a cold city wall.
In a hurry, Wanyan Shengcong vomited a mouthful of blood.
The guards around Wanyan Shengcong were shocked.
Although Wan Yan Shengcong is older, Wan Yan Shengcong has a hard body and has never vomited blood. Even the cough is rare.
The Liao army guards hurriedly carried Wanyan Shengcong back to the king's tent.

The sound of cannons outside the city of Jingshi alarmed the civil and military officials of the Great Zhao court in the city, and all the officials were as sensitive as frightened birds. They were extremely sensitive to the sound of artillery, after hearing the sound of artillery, they thought that this was the signal before the Liao army attacked the city, for a while, the usual majestic and graceful Sven officials in the city of Beijing were full of ugliness, changed into cloth clothes, hid in the cellar for refuge, and plastered their faces to the point that they could not even recognize the strange officials.
The army of the king of Beizhiliqin, which was close to Jingshi City, had already entered Jingshi City before the Liao army arrived at the city of Jingshicheng.
There is also a reason why these tens of thousands of Beizhili Qinwang Jun are so active.
In fact, these Qinwang troops of Beizhili are not so much that they came to Jingshi City Qinwang, but that they came to Jingshi City for refuge. The walls of the castle and the large number of town troops were more able to give them a sense of security, and the chances of saving their lives were much better than if they were in their original station.
These town armies were unreliable, and Song Yuren was waiting for an army, and the army he trusted the most felt King Jingshi Chengqin. Song Yuren was convinced that as long as this Qinwang army arrived in Jingshi City, all problems would be solved.
The imperial city of Jingshi City, that is, the residence of the emperor of the Great Zhao Empire, was also the political core of the empire. This small imperial city is the heart of this empire, keeping it running.
The siege of Jingshi City can be said to be the safest place under the Jingshi City, the Jingshi City is as square as a square seal, and the imperial city is located in the middle of this "square seal", in the geometric center of the Jingshi City.
In addition to the Imperial City, there are two strong and tall city walls, the outer city and the inner city, which protect the imperial city of Jingshi City. In addition to these, all the imperial cities where the elite marched into the capital city gathered, the imperial city became the most densely deployed place in the capital city.
Rao is like this, and he can't give the people in Jingshi City a sense of security, everyone is nervous, including the owner of this imperial city: Song Yuren. It can be said that right now, the most nervous person in the entire empire is Song Yuren.
"What is the situation of the Liao army firing artillery outside the city, is there any news?"
The cannon sound in Jingshi City alarmed Song Yuren.
These few days are the lowest point since Song Yuren ascended the throne, and this nervous feeling Song Yuren only experienced it a few days before he ascended the throne, when the palace politics were about to happen. Now the Liao army has made him relive this feeling.
Song Yuren was in a very bad mood, since the Liao army broke the border, there was no good news before Song Yuren's case. Song Yuren's case was preceded by a large number of Jinyi guards and the dynamics of officials in the city detected by the Detective Factory.
In the past, Song Yuren would not put this information related to the privacy of officials on the case in public, and he would wait alone to check these documents late at night. And now Song Yuren does not shy away from hundreds of officials, and directly puts this information on the case.
Is the performance of the officials of Jingshi City really disappointing, and Song Yuren has no need to worry about their feelings.
"Back to the emperor, the Liao army is conducting a test shot on the walls of Jingshi City."
Soon the news was transmitted back to Miyagi, and Song Yuren learned that it was confirmed that this cannon was just another test fire by the Liao army on Jingshi City.
"The walls of Jingshi City cost countless efforts and financial resources of our ancestors, and it took nearly 100 years for the walls of Jingshi City to be fully completed. How could a burst of artillery fire from the Liao army destroy the walls of Jingshi City. Song Yuren sneered.
The Great Zhao was established in the Central Plains under the background of the hundreds of years of rebellion among the Hu people. This is why Da Zhao attaches so much importance to the construction of the city wall. In particular, as the capital of the Empire, Kyoshi Castle also has a northern territory close to the Empire, and is always facing the threat of foreign invasion. The construction of the walls of Jingshi Castle was the top priority of these defensive projects.
Such a strong wall could not be destroyed in a moment.
"Qing and the others are so nervous, I'm afraid that the city wall has not fallen, and the hearts of the people in the city have dispersed first." Song Yuren sneered, "The living are not as reliable as this dead city wall. ”
Song Yuren has been too tired as an emperor all these years, and it is too difficult to accept all these officials, and it is really difficult to revive a huge dynasty.
Yes, a living person is not as reliable as a dead thing like a city wall. 、
The officials also knew that they were out of shape, lowered their heads and stopped talking, the burst of artillery just now really frightened them a lot.
"Big companion." Song Yuren was in a depressed spirit, and now there were not many people around him who were worthy of his trust, Zhao Ze was one of the few, Song Yuren turned his head sideways and asked Zhao Ze on the side, "Where is the Qin army?" Is there any news? ”
Qin Jun is now Song Yuren's only hope, and it is also the spiritual motivation for him to support it.
Seeing Song Yuren's appearance, Zhao Ze couldn't help but feel sour, he grew up with Zhao Ze since he was a child, although they were masters and servants. But in the deep palace, the human affection is weak, and the two of them grew up together, and the relationship has already surpassed that of the master and servant.
"The Liao army is besieging the city, and the communication between Jingshi City and the outside world has been cut off, and there has been no news from the outside world for three days."
Zhao Ze told Song Yuren about the actual situation of Jingshi City now, and Jingshi City is now completely cut off from communication with the outside world. It has become a lonely city.
The tall and thick city walls of Jingshi City not only blocked the Liao army from entering Jingshi City, but also completely isolated Jingshi City from the outside world like a prison wall.
Hearing this news, Song Yuren's mood became even lower.
Su Ke hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to come out, and stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the capital city is surrounded by the Liao army, and the prices in the city are soaring, and the black-hearted merchants take the opportunity to raise the prices to make a fortune in the country. The Liao army entered the customs, and the granaries of Jingshi City were empty, and displaced refugees filled the streets of Jingshi City. ”
Song Yuren, who was originally extremely depressed, heard the bad news, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his mouth and splashed into the main hall. (To be continued.) )
