Chapter 641: War Is Too Terrible

readx;

The generals who stood with him didn't pay attention to him, which made Xu Huaide feel a little bored, and the Liao people in front of him shouted loudly: "Long live us, if the general returns to the Great Liao, the general will definitely be reused!" ”

This is an inducement, and Yelu Hongji is just a blank check, and whether it can be cashed out or not is still two theories. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info wants people to surrender just by relying on a blank check, which is a bit of a child's play. After the inducement, it is naturally coercion.

"General Xu, you should see the current situation very clearly, putting down your weapons can ensure that you are alive, and you will enjoy all the glory and wealth in the future, if the general is obsessed, there will definitely be a corpse left in this area!"

After the messenger said this, he waited for Xu Huaide to hear back to him. Xu Huaide shook his head on the wall: "Are you finished?" So what are my conditions? ”

Persuasion is also a kind of negotiation, and since persuasion is still needed, that is, the other party still has the qualifications to put forward conditions. The envoy of the Liao State nodded: "The general said." ”

Xu Huaide said: "To be honest, I don't want to sell my life, but I'm worried that you will break your promise after we put down our weapons." In this way, I see that the emperor of your country has also come, and if he can come down to this city and swear to the city, and promise not to offend the soldiers and people here, we will lay down our weapons. ”

The envoy of the Liao State was furious in his heart, and asked Yelu Hongji to swear to the city? Are you kidding! However, he did not refuse immediately, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he wanted to use his three-inch incorruptible tongue to persuade Song Jun to put down his weapon.

Since this guy can come to negotiate, his mind is naturally fast: "General Xu, if you are sincere, our emperor can set up an altar in the barracks, and General Xu can send someone to see it, and our emperor swears to the sky!" ”

The weight of the oath to the sky is much stronger than the oath to the city. It's a pity, after Xu Huaide knew that the emperor of Liao would not be close to the city even if he was killed, he felt that there was no need to play this game anymore.

He turned his head to look at Bai Yutang: "Shoot this kid." ”

Bai Yutang moved very quickly, picked up the bow and crossbow hanging on his waist, and released two crossbows at the Liao people who were riding on horses and waiting for Xu Huaide to reply, leaving that guy under the city as the first corpse to die in this attack and defense.

That means there's nothing more to say, let's fight.

The formation that the Liao people had already set up quickly pushed forward, and the first wave of attacks was the soldiers of the Southern Courtyard, many of these guys were Han Chinese, but because the Liao State had been in time for too long, they forgot their identity.

After Shi Jingjiao became emperor, the Han people in the north were still resisting at first, and when their sons, grandsons, and even great-grandsons now, they were ready to fight the Song Dynasty army for the victory of the Liao State and the Song Dynasty, which was also Han Chinese.

Their siege was completely different from the cavalry of the Liao State, and those cavalry of the Liao State would not attack the city at all, but only knew that the horses rushed over desperately, and then climbed the ladder to the camp of the Song army, or directly tried to break the city gate.

These soldiers of the southern courtyard were unhurriedly digging pits in the ground, and they took the main camp of the Song army as the main target, digging a long trench around them.

The trench is dug very carefully, the general place is one meter deep, two meters wide, people squatting can make the Song army above can not see anything, as long as a shield protects the top of the head, the Song army's bow and crossbow have no way to cause any damage to the people in the trench.

At intervals of fifty meters, there is a large pit two meters deep and about three meters long, which can store some necessary siege weapons to gather troops ready to charge.

They used these trenches as cover and slowly approached the main camp of the Song army. The Liao soldiers put their shields on their heads and continued to dig into the corners, digging closer to the city walls, the safer they were, as long as they could dig under the city, then unless the defenders poked their heads out to attack, nothing could hurt them.

For the attacking side, being closer to the target means that the probability of success is greater, and if the Song army can't cope with such an attack, then they will definitely dig the camp out of the ground.

Seeing that the enemy was getting closer and closer, Guan Huaishan's breathing was obviously getting faster and faster. He didn't want to stay here, but the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom came too fast, and by the time they found out that they wanted to leave, they couldn't leave.

The villagers were organized into a team to carry supplies.

There was a chuckle from the side, and Guan Huaishan turned his head to see a Song Army soldier who was much younger than himself looking at him with a contemptuous look.

This look made him a little uncomfortable, but just like the things he didn't understand, there were too many things that made him uncomfortable, and when he encountered such a thing, Guan Huaishan's choice was to go away.

The little soldier grabbed him: "Big brother, haven't you ever seen a war?" ”

Guan Huaishan's first reaction was to shake his head, he thought that he had seen a war and had been on the battlefield. But then he hurriedly nodded, because he felt that the battlefield he was on was not a battlefield compared to the battlefield in front of him.

Xiaobing pulled him to stay by his side: "Big brother, don't go down, I guess it's going to be a fight soon, if you go down now, the cavalry and archery of the Liao people may hurt you, you just stay at the root of this wall, don't move, you're fine." ”

Guan Huaishan wanted to refuse the kindness of this little soldier, he felt that it was very unsafe here, and it was not the position he should stay in. But before he could speak, as if confirming the soldier's estimate, a loud sound of war drums suddenly sounded in the distance, and the heads on the side shouted loudly: "Shoot!" ”

Just now, a small group of Liao people began to dig the corners of the wall, and a fierce rain of arrows fell head-on, and the Song army was condescending, constantly using bows and crossbows to shoot in rows. And the Liao people not only did not have any probe to attack, but on the contrary, they all shrank into the tunnel, and at the same time used shields to protect the top of their heads, and thought about continuing to dig forward.

"Palm Thunder!"

With a shout, the soldier picked up a palm thunder beside him, lit it and put it in his hand.

"Throw!"

Hundreds of palm thunderbolts fell together, and a huge explosion was accompanied by a howl of ghosts crying and shouting. Guan Huaishan felt that his ear drums were vibrating violently, and his two ears were buzzing after the explosion, but the wails of the Liao soldiers below could still be heard clearly.

The shields of those Liao people who were digging trenches were shattered, and they gave up on the wounded and wanted to retreat, but how could the Song army just let them go?

The crossbow arrows poured down again, and the Liao people who had lost the shield cover had no room to dodge in the tunnel, and the Song army in the barracks shot the crossbow arrows at the bodies of those Liao people like shooting targets.

Yelu Hongji saw the opportunity quite quickly, and immediately asked the Liao cavalry to suppress the Song army with cavalry shooting, and at the same time, the trebuchets brought by the Liao people also threw the stones weighing more than ten catties into the Song army's camp.

It's very slow to say, in fact, from the beating of the war drums of the Song army to the counterattack of the Liao cavalry, it is only a matter of a few breaths.

Two people who were walking slowly just now were really killed by the bows and arrows of the Liao people, which made Guan Huaishan very grateful to that little soldier.

The beating of the Song army's war drums meant the beginning of a bitter war, and the Liao people first used their trebuchets. The trebuchets of the Liao State could only throw stones, and there were some explosive stones that they made after the stone projectiles of the Song army, but their craftsmen could not make cannonballs forged with pure iron tools like the ones used by the Song army now.

Moreover, although the cannon used by the Song army now is not very light, Zeng Gongliang has added pulleys to the base of the cannon, which can be moved, but the trebuchet of the Liao State is not good, and it can only be placed where it is placed. However, after an hour of competition, all the trebuchets of the Liao army were blown up by the Song army, and those Liao cavalry who wanted to use cavalry archery to compete with the Song army at the head of the city also suffered a big loss.

Guan Huaishan honestly lay under the root of the wall during the whole process, not daring to move. The soldiers around him kept falling, but the Song army behind them came up and dragged away the bodies of those fallen comrades, and continued to stand in the position where the comrades had fallen just now to fight.

The bows and arrows of the Liao people roared over the head of Guan Huai Mountain, and most of them shot on the ground, making bursts of crisp sounds. Guan Huaishan saw with his own eyes that a Song Jun who had been shot in the stomach picked up a feather arrow that fell to the ground and stuck it in his throat, and he felt that the war was too terrible.

In the past, he thought that the most terrible person in the world was the rich man in their village, and the most terrible thing was that he couldn't pay the rent, but now Guan Huaishan understands how merciful it is for the rich man to let himself farm.

"Big brother, go down quickly."

Xiao Bing squatted down, Guan Huaishan found that Xiao Bing's face was cut and a long blood mouth came out, and the whole right shoulder was red, he wanted to go down, but he felt that it seemed a little unreasonable to go like this, and his expression was very hesitant: "That, big brother, that,"

Xiao Bing laughed, took out a black cloth in his arms and wiped the blood on his face: "It's okay, big brother, I'm lucky, I didn't die just now." Go down quickly, soon the Liao people will climb the wall. ”

Guan Huaishan nodded: "Hey! ”

The whole man jumped to the other side, and was about to go down the stairs when a group of soldiers came up from below. The leader shouted, "Quick! Fast! The Liao people are coming up! ”

Guan Huaishan hurriedly moved his body to the side, not blocking the path of these soldiers. The little people must have the consciousness of the little people, for him, what is the matter of the county is a national matter, the affairs of these military masters are national affairs, and the affairs of the old men in the family are the major affairs of the whole village, but his own affairs, even if it is related to the surname and life, it is also a small matter.

A Liao soldier who had been wounded by a bow and crossbow actually climbed up first, he may have been a little dizzy, and after coming up, the fierce shot did not have the slightest accuracy, and several hook and sickle spears next to him poked out like poisonous snakes, and at the same time deeply penetrated into this person's body.

The soldier's face was hideous, and he let out a shout from his mouth, and his wrist turned, causing the spear head to spin in the body of the Liao soldier. Someone next to him, Song Jun, shouted: "Throw!" ”

Several guns were provoked at the same time, and the whole body was blown away, and the Liao soldiers let out a heart-palpitating scream, but they did not exchange the slightest softness from the Song army. Several people pulled out their spears at the same time, and the Liao Kingdom fell from the wall, and was soon trampled under the feet of the Liao soldiers who came from behind, and dissolved into the same pile of meat as the corpses that died under the city before.
