Chapter 020: Turnaround
For the first time, the Luzhou soldiers and horses and the Khitan soldiers and horses maintained the same offensive and defensive pace and cooperated with the battle, and the main general of Yang Hao's army, Zhi Weizheng, issued the order. Zhi Weizheng is not an incompetent puppet, although there is a little aunt behind him as his staff officer, but he is indeed a general, as the son of the Fold family, since he was a child, he learned the art of war and strategy, followed his father's side, often dealt with the intrusion of Xiazhou soldiers and horses, and had a lot of experience in defending the city.
The boulders fired by the catapults smashed the head of Yinzhou into tatters, and the defenders avoided the caves one after another. When the stone thrower stopped firing, it reoccupied the head of the city, at this time, a pin bow began the second wave of attack, there were many square spires that could be moved at the head of the city, which was a giant wood as the bone, cowhide as the surface of the shelter, the cowhide was soft and tough, the arrow was shot at a parabolic angle after it could not pose a threat to the soldiers hidden in the mantle, and the soldiers were hidden in it, but they could observe the formation movement of the army outside the city in time, and then deployed to the attack site, Zhe Wei was seeing it on the watchtower, and immediately ordered to launch a large number of rockets, poisonous smoke bombs, The incendiary canisters were thrown with a catapult to destroy the tent, and the head of the city was immediately colored with a stone thrower and a crossbow.
"Prepare for the siege!"
Flags fluttered on the watchtower, rows of crossbows aimed at the city wall, mallets struck at the teeth, short crossbows with thick forearms with a loud roar that pierced the eardrums and pounced on the city wall, rows of nails into the thick wall, soldiers could climb the city wall as they approached.
Groups of soldiers stood behind the cowhide veil, pushing the folding bridge with wooden wheels and the trench filling cart under the cover of arrows and arrows, and the moat of Yinzhou City had been widened and deepened, but the water flow had been cut off by the people sent by Zheziyu upstream, and the stagnant water in the moat was only about a foot, and a huge penny with a sharp handle was exposed in the water.
"Squeak Crunch ......"
Although the shafts and wheels were oiled, they still made a tooth-sore sound when they turned quickly, and the flying bridge, which was carefully made by skilled craftsmen, was spread to the surface of the water in the rain of arrows poured down from under the city, and then the noose was turned to extend the other half of the bridge forward and set it on the opposite bank. Ten moat bridges, forming a wide bridge deck of 15 zhang, have turned the entire moat into a flat side.
The arrows at the head of the city of "Tuk Tuk Tuk ......" were replaced with rockets, and the bridge deck was changed to shoot instead of shooting people, but the trench bridge in Yang Hao's army was designed by the skilled craftsmen of Jihetang, and these conventional attacks had been taken into account, and the bridge deck was mostly wrapped in iron sheets, and the arrows were difficult to hurt, unless the fire was baked, like the flame on the arrow, it could not shoot through the bridge deck, and it was difficult to play a role.
"Kill, kill, kill!" A large group of soldiers ran across the trench with shields, rifles, and antlers.
The crossbowmen stood far away, relying on their superior crossbows to carry out the final suppression on the city, except for the giant crossbows on the city, even if ordinary bows and arrows could be shot in front of them, it was difficult to have a lethal effect, so they had no scruples at all, and wantonly carried out suppressive attacks.
The soldiers quickly set up a repelling pistol and antler array near the city gate, because during the siege war, it is difficult for the attacking side to get close to the city even if there are cavalry, but in the city and in the urn outside the city gate, light cavalry can be sent to kill the siege soldiers at any time, so obstacles should be arranged near the city gate to prevent counterattack. Due to the suppressive cover of crossbow arrows from the rear, the defenders of the city did not dare to stand up and shoot arrows at will, and the scattered arrows wounded only a few soldiers, who arranged the obstacles, and a large number of ladders were pushed across the trench bridge.
At this time, the Khitan side has also launched a general attack, their soldiers have more combat experience than the Luzhou army, but the rudimentary siege equipment at this time highlights their weakness, the trench bridge across the moat bridge is narrow, the all-wood structure is vulnerable to fire, the siege tools are only ladders, and unlike the Luzhou soldiers, there are handrails on both sides of the ladder, and there is a female wall at the top, which can protect the soldiers to the greatest extent.
When the ladder was erected on the city wall, countless rambars with several zhang long handles immediately poked out of the city, and many of them were pushed down by the rams before they could stand firmly, and many soldiers with ants attached to them smashed to the ground.
And on this city wall of the main attack of the Luzhou soldiers, although the Luzhou soldiers and horses are limited, but the advanced weapons make their attack play a strong effect, the hook on the top of the ladder hits the wall, it firmly bites the city wall, the ram rod can not hit it at all, the siege soldiers do not have to take care of the ladder at all, they can climb at full speed, many soldiers also use the pedal arrows shot at the city wall, bite the long knife in their mouths to climb up.
As soon as he found that the other party's ladder could not be knocked open, the flag in the city flashed, and suddenly launched many yellow cabinets, Yang Hao stood on the top of the nest car and watched from afar, only to see that the front end of the yellow cabinet suddenly spit out a long tongue of fire, and the tongue of fire fell on the ladder and immediately attached a piece, burning violently, and couldn't help but be speechless: Who is guarding the city? Actually...... Even a flamethrower?
This weapon really resembles a clumsy flamethrower, a weapon for defending the city: a fierce fire tank. The so-called fierce fire, that is, oil, at that time it was also called fierce fire oil, those yellow cabinets are made of cooked copper, there is an injection mouth, can be continuously injected with oil, there is a hair dryer behind, can compress the air, everyone in the middle is erosive, water can not be extinguished, the lethality is great.
Zhi Wei is on the watchtower to see, immediately ordered more than a dozen watchtowers to approach the enemy formation, this watchtower is much higher than the city wall, the main role is that the main general stands in the distance condescendingly can watch the movement in the city, but can also set up crossbowmen on it, purposefully shoot specific people. These more than ten watchtowers approached, condescending, flying like locusts, specifically shooting the defenders who operated the fierce fire cabinet, and the role of the fierce fire oil tank was immediately greatly reduced. The defenders of the city immediately opened the flap flaps on both sides and above the tank, and at the same time organized special archers to shoot at the soldiers on the watchtower.
Of course, siege warfare is not just a display of Qimen weapons, nor is it a guarantee that it will be able to win just by whether these are advanced or not, and the final victory or defeat is still to be manipulated by people. At least in terms of location, the defenders of the city had the upper hand, and the soldiers defending the city and the soldiers besieging the city fought bloodily around the three walls, and the highest casualty rate in the siege was the time of this siege.
The Yaksha rolled and threw down the city wall, and countless sharp nails pierced the besieging soldiers' heads and bleed, and when the Yaksha body was thrown down, many soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, and many sharp wooden stakes were firmly inserted into the ground, piercing their intestines and stomachs.
A wooden donkey cart that had attacked the gate was pierced through the top by an iron striking wood, and then a fierce fire oil was poured from above, followed by a torch, and many soldiers were on fire, screaming and running out from under the wings of the wooden donkey cart's open rolling wooden stones and arrows, and were killed by the arrows to the ground.
A thick smoke drifted from the upwind, which was a dense fog composed of grass burning in the upwind and dust made by the dust trucks, and the whole city was filled with it, and there were constant coughs in the screaming and killing, and more than a dozen head cars quietly approached the city wall under the cover of smoke and dust, regardless of the soldiers who kept falling on the surrounding ladders, and the rocks thrown from the city head smashed the roof of the car tom, and began to dig the tunnel intently.
The use of shovels and pickaxes is like flying, and the people who are responsible for digging tunnels are strong soldiers, once they are exhausted, they immediately exchange with the soldiers behind, and baskets of soil are transported out by rows of soldiers, and there is a winch leading to the moat in the virtual shed behind, and the soil is poured on the conveyor belt of the winch, and it is poured straight into the moat, which is used for filling the trench.
The ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ clanging sound was insignificant in the noisy battlefield, but Liu Yanlang, who was hiding in a cave two feet deep, could not hear the shouting and killing of the outside world very clearly, but he could hear this movement directly from the ground clearly. With his ears on the bottom of the ring, he listened carefully to the sound coming from the soil, and suddenly ran out.
"Dad, tunnels are being dug outside the city, two hundred paces, one hundred and sixty steps, one hundred and one hundred steps, and fifty steps from here, and there are three places in front of it, and there are three places in the west, which are about the same apart."
Liu Jiye frowned slightly and said: "Today's siege of the city by people outside the city is very different from the past. In the past, although they had excellent siege equipment, they could not use it, and now they ...... It seems that the commander has changed, and he seems to know our methods of defending the city well......"
He pondered for a moment, and commanded: "Continue to listen, and give orders everywhere, and prepare firewood mixed with arsenic, wolf dung, and gunpowder in the excavation area, in case the earth excavates into the city, and blows the wind to drive away the enemy." At the same time, fire oil and iron were prepared to destroy the empty sheds of the first cars digging outside the city. ”
"Yes!" Liu Yanlang left in response.
"Boom!" There was a violent roar on the roof of the car, and the soldiers who were digging the tunnel all looked up, and the roof of the car, which had been reinforced with five layers of reinforcement and shock absorption effect, shook, and the bracket let out a few screams and withstood it.
Ke Zhen yelled evilly: "Leave him alone, keep digging!" ”
He snatched a sharp shovel and rushed forward, carrying a spade under the broken walls, whipping a spade of dirt backwards.
"Boom!" There was another loud bang on the roof of the car, and seeing a stone the size of a millstone rolling off the roof of the car, someone shouted: "Master Tuanlian, the roof of the car is on fire." ”
"Leave it alone, dig, keep digging!"
Ke Zhen's evil eyes were red, and he had dug seven or eight feet deep under the city wall, and every time he took a step forward, both sides were supported by strong logs, which had prevented the city wall from collapsing.
"Boom!" Another boulder fell, a large hole was broken in the roof of the head, and the sturdy bracket was already a little loose.
"Master Tuanlian, go quickly, the roof of the car is broken."
Ke Zhen ignored the evil, gritted his teeth and continued to dig forward.
A bucket of fire oil was poured from the hole, and the fire immediately started, but fortunately the soldiers under the car had already been prepared and had avoided it.
"Master Tuanlian, if you don't go any further, the car will collapse."
The two soldiers couldn't help but say something, and rushed into the hole and dragged Ke Zhenwei out.
"Fill firewood, fill firewood, stuff it with oil!"
Ke Zhen said viciously, several soldiers burned the bundles of firewood that had been prepared and stuffed them into the cave, Ke Zhenwei lit a firewood and threw it into the cave, grabbed the big shield, and shouted: "Withdraw!" ”
The cave behind him spewed a blazing tongue of fire, and Ke Zhenwei led the people to disconnect the hook between the head car and the virtual shed, and quickly retreated back under the cover of the void shed.
"Boom!"
The underground was damp and the fire baked it, causing the walls to swell, and when the supporting logs underneath burned down, the loose earth and stone structure of the city wall could not bear its weight and collapsed suddenly. Although the cave was not dug deep enough and not wide enough, this piece of city wall only collapsed three feet, and the upper part of the city was not very affected, but the disc wall, female wall, arrow battlements, and bunkers of the collapsed part were destroyed, especially the soldiers of the officers and soldiers in the city were greatly affected, and some people were already crying out in horror: "The city is broken, the city is broken, flee quickly......
It was a local soldier in Yinzhou who shouted out, he got up from the collapsed city wall, and for a moment he couldn't figure out the situation, but when the whole city wall had fallen, he was screaming in horror, a bright steel knife flashed through his neck, and a head flew off his shoulder.
A Khitan military attache with a grim brow shouted viciously: "Those who disturb the hearts of our army, kill!" What to see, defend the city, defend the city! They can't rush in! ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Khitan Department lacks sophisticated siege equipment, so it can only use simple ladders and sea tactics to fight hard with the defenders at the head of the city, and the main direction of attack is placed at the gate of the city. Tong! Tong! "Hit the main city gate with one blow, and with each impact, soldiers fell under the arrows.
At this time, the most worthless thing is human life, no one cares about their life or death, everyone is red-eyed, even if the soldier who fell to the ground by the arrow did not die, no one cared about helping him, he could only crawl to the back alone, watching his companions push the door car, with all their strength, crashing into the seemingly impregnable city gate.
"Boom!"
At last, a large hole was smashed open at the city gate, and sawdust flew everywhere, and cheers arose: "Kill, kill!" ”
The Khitan soldiers were all red-eyed, and the siege giant trees were pulled back by the siege soldiers who suddenly had divine power, and quickly changed their direction to carry out the final destruction on the other half of the crumbling city gate, and the soldiers in the rear had already excitedly climbed on their horses and were ready to charge.
This battle was too bad, they were originally the best at attacking samurai, and they were invincible in the charge, but they had not had much experience before fighting the enemy who was hiding behind the urn city, the castle tower, and the female wall, and they cast cold arrows, and now the anger that had been accumulated in their chests finally found a way to vent.
"Boom~~~"
The remaining half of the gates were slammed open, and the surviving soldiers were ecstatic to flown the entire crashing car to the side of the road, and the rumbling hooves of horses came, and the cavalry of the brigade swept past them like a whirlwind, and a steel knife with a snowy handle was raised high in the air...... Yinzhou City is broken!
The Khitan iron horseman who rushed into the city raised the sharp steel knife in his hand...... Dumbfounded, there were about 800 people rushing in, completely occupying a large open space in the semicircle of the city, there was not even a single defender in it, and a city gate actually appeared in front of them, blocking their way forward, it was an urn city, a moving urn city, an urn city of the inner city, the urn city slowly pushed forward, until the left and right sides were tightly attached to the city wall, and then stopped advancing.
Urn City, please enter the urn.
On the three walls, countless archers stood up, and arrows rained down...... The hundreds of knights who rushed into the city crowded the entire urn city, and the knights who were rushing outside and were ready to follow the front army into Yinzhou City were all blocked outside the city gate, the dense crowds of people and horses were crowded, the front could not advance or retreat, and the people behind did not know what was changing, and they were still swarming, and the soldiers who were pushed near the city gate shouted and screamed, but no one listened to them at all.
At this time, large wooden barrels were smashed down from the city, the lids of which had been opened, and the barrels tumbled in the air, splashing with a black, viscous liquid, which in the West was called "the sweat of the devil......
Looking up at the large wooden barrels thrown from the city tower, the Khitan knights' eyes widened in horror, they saw that behind the wooden barrels were followed by torches......※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ many knights were stuck with the sweat of the devil, braving the flames of hell, their faces were twisted in horror in the flames, let out an inhuman scream, and rushed back to their camp, the hideous appearance, the terrible scream, made people's hearts tremble...... In front of the knife cart were countless corpses of men and horses, the lower ones were charred, and the upper ones were thrown out of the city, and the corpses were full of arrows, which were shot like stabbing moles. Behind the knife cart was a wall made of stones and sandbags that reached to the top, and the corpses were thrown from the city as a form of intimidation. None of the arrows on the corpse were removed, indicating that the defenders were well armed outside the city. Jerod stood on the watchtower, looking at the mountain of corpses, but he was not discouraged, his face was like a rock carving from beginning to end, even if a million more people died in front of him, he was not moved.
Like Yelu Xiuge, he is also the general who began to be reused after the succession of the current saint Yeluxian, and his reputation was not evident before, although the prestige of Yelu Xiuge has not been spread to the world at this time, this in the later battle of Gaoliang River and the battle of Yanyun have defeated the Song army, and set up an ambush in Shuozhou to capture Yang Jiye's famous general Yelu Xian, at this time is not famous for his military exploits.
He has great achievements in his life, but what he is good at is field warfare, and the great military exploits of his brilliant life all occurred in the Khitan territory, all of which were in the Song Army's northern expedition to the Khitan, leading the troops to counterattack, showing their strengths, and repeatedly building surprise attacks. For the attack and defense of the city, although he has dabbled in but is not good at it, he has never worked hard before, at this time the domestic and foreign situation of the Khitan, and rarely encountered the battle examples of the attack and defense of the city, if the study of the city attack and defense is the mainstay, the opportunity to use is too few, then it has become the skill of slaying the dragon, so this tactic has never been valued by the Khitan generals, but this siege of Yinzhou, he finally knew how helpless it was to face a strong city with only good soldiers.
Sighing softly, Yelu turned his head to the left and right and said: "I have thousands of miles of grasslands in the north, the tribes of the clan tent migrate and live as nomads, the children live on horses, grow up on horses, are good at field battles but not good at attacking fortifications, and are enemies in the plains, whistling and coming, going to fly freely, and those who rely on them are just a bow and a horse, so it is difficult to have anyone who can match me." The southerners lived in the city, made a living from farming, and relied on the thick walls of the high city to keep the enemy out. When it comes to offensive and defensive equipment, our equipment is not only simple and crude, but also always used at the wrong time and in the wrong way.
King Qing now will build this Yinzhou city impervious to the wind and rain, this is by no means its strength, presumably King Qing got Yinzhou, but also recruited some generals who are good at defending the city, and he relied on these generals, he can have such a majesty, the city of the southerners offensive and defensive tactics, it is really good, you should watch carefully, study carefully, the coming day is not useless. ”
The public will hear it, but only praise.
Yang Hao is also paying attention to learning the command skills of Zhe Weizheng and Zhe Ziwei, Zhe Weizheng does not mind being seen by him in his use and command of equipment and tactics, and Yang Hao does not mind exposing the sophisticated siege equipment he has mastered in front of the Khitans. These things are easy to imitate, the historical Liao, Jin, after a few battles, completely mastered these advanced weapons created by the Han people, in addition to being able to quickly learn these knowledge from the lessons of blood on the battlefield, but also from the captives. You want to keep it a secret unless you never use it. The tools of war are constantly improving, the art of command is also constantly improving, and the key to victory is to use them skillfully and with one mind.
The main attack of Yang Hao's army has collapsed in three places, the damage is not very serious, but the firmness of the city wall has been greatly damaged, Zhi Weizheng and Zhe Ziyu hurriedly discussed a few words, immediately Ming Jin collected the troops, stopped the strong attack, mobilized the stone throwing cart again, bombarded the city, in order to expand the results of the battle, at the same time Yang Hao's proposed psychological warfare has also come to an end, many kites raised from the upper wind, and many leaflets written in Khitan and Chinese were scattered into the city.
"Big brother, big brother, some people who escaped from Xicheng have all been caught by us......"
The scimitar Xiaoliu rode over, and he shouted excitedly from afar.
Yang Hao was overjoyed, looked back and said to Ziyu: "The plan of the five princes to besiege the city is really clever, and if the net is opened, there will definitely be people who have fantasies." ”
Zhen Ziyu was praised by him in public, and he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, but his face was unmoved, he only coughed lightly, and said reservedly: "I only expected that if a heavy army was gathered to attack on three sides, once the city defense was in danger, someone in the city would try to escape." King Qing defends the city, and when the elite soldiers are deployed to fight, it is the old and weak soldiers who guard the Xicheng that we have abandoned.
Most of the people who can follow King Qing to come here are elite soldiers, and the guards in the west city must be local veterans with little experience in battle formations, and the rich gentry and wealthy merchants in the city want to escape from the siege, and they will not hesitate to buy them out and release them at any cost, and if they escape a few families in private, as long as the people who have received the benefits do not speak, others will not know, and those guards may not dare to take this risk. It's just that I didn't expect someone to think about escaping so soon, it seems that King Qing is not very popular in Yinzhou. Captain, from their mouths, we may be able to grasp some useful information. ”
Yang Hao nodded again and again: "Yes, what the fifth prince said is reasonable." Little Liu, what about those people? ”
The scimitar Xiaoliu said: "The iron bull is carrying people here, and they will be there soon." ”
Yang Hao couldn't wait to say: "Let's go, let's go up and have a look." ”
Yang Hao and Zhi Ziyu, Zhi Weizheng, Mu En and others rode horses and galloped, and saw Tie Niu leading a group of people to them from a distance. When he saw Yang Hao from afar, Tie Niu shouted loudly: "Big brother, there are five families and seventy-three people who escaped from the city, and all of them have been captured by their brothers. ”
Yang Hao grabbed the reins of the horse and looked at those people, as soon as he heard that this person was the commander of the army, those men, women and children rushed forward, knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowed like garlic and begged: "Taiwei is gracious, Taiwei spares his life, we are all good people in the city, not the party of the Khitan Qing King, Taiwei Mingjian......"
These people all rushed forward to beg for their lives, but there was a woman in the middle of the crowd flashed back, hesitantly trying to avoid behind others, such a move immediately aroused Yang Hao's vigilance, everyone knelt down, the woman was stunned, although she reacted very quickly, and immediately knelt down, but Yang Hao had already seen her clearly.
Yang Hao's heart suddenly shook: "Is it her?" How could it be her? ”
A group of kowtowers begging for mercy at the foot of the horse, Yang Hao only didn't see it, he took the reins of the horse and went around in a half circle, and suddenly pointed at the woman who was kneeling at the end of the crowd and bowing her head tightly, and said in a deep voice: "You, come close!" ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Jun County, Yuetai, Yellow River embankment.
Li Yu carried a sandbag, panted and climbed onto the embankment, threw the sandbag to the ground, and sat on the ground, his eyes were black, and his heart was beating like a drum. He was really tired, he had not done as much physical work in his life as he had in the past few days, his usual hands that he used to only use to caress the skin of beautiful women, and only the hands that came to study the ink pen were now blistered, and he used to need the driest and softest brocade to sleep, and now he fell headlong on the damp mud floor, and in a moment he could thunder like a dead pig.
But he had nothing to say. Zhao Guangyi is striding past him, holding three sandbags in each hand, walking like flying, as if he will always have inexhaustible strength, the current Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty can personally stand on the embankment, risking the danger of being swept away by the flood at any time, even if everyone else is tired of dead dogs, who can have any complaints?
"Whoa!"
Zhou Zhou Baoquan, the former lord of Jinghu, slipped under his feet, and a dog stumbled to the embankment, he struggled to get up, dragged the sandbag up to the embankment step by step, and then leaned next to Li Yu, panting for air. His robe was crumpled and covered in mud, and no one who looked at it was afraid or believed that this was Zhou Baoquan, the original lord of Jinghu and the current commander of the Right Yulin Army.
The two former emperors looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and at this moment, there was a tsunami-like cry from the embankment, and the two exhausted scholars jumped up like rabbits with arrows, and said in a lost voice: "What's wrong?" Is it broken? Is it broken? ”
Their cries were completely suppressed by cheers, the embankment was full of cheering soldiers and civilians, the newly built embankment was standing, the rolling flood was flowing down the river tamely, the sky had cleared, Zhao Guangyi stood on the top of the embankment, tears in his eyes.
The embankment is protected, otherwise he, the emperor who has just ascended the throne, will have to issue an "edict" to the subjects of the world even if he leaves millions of people in Kaifeng to escape...... Finally survived this difficulty, and because of the blessing of disaster, this feat of sacrificing one's life to protect the berm will surely go down in history and win the hearts of countless people.
"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! ”
Suddenly, I don't know who took the lead and shouted, and everyone fell to the ground and shouted to Zhao Guangyi, who was standing there.
Zhao Guangyi said excitedly and loudly: "I raise hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers in Tokyo, live in millions of people, the center of the world, the top priority, in order to protect Tokyo, I don't regret this, fortunately, the military and the people of Zhongqing work together, and God also blesses it, this difficulty, we have overcome it!" ”
"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! A louder cheer rang out.
Zhao Guangyi's face was flushed, he pressed down on his hands, and after a few times, the cheers gradually stopped.
At this time, Zhao Guangmei took several officials of Kaifeng Mansion and escorted a person tied up with five flowers to him, and reported loudly: "Official, Kan Sandao, the county commander of Jun County, has been arrested by my Kaifeng Mansion. ”
Murong Qiu stood up drunkenly, and said: "Kan Sandao, as an official of the imperial court, was in danger and cowardly, and fled alone with his family, ignoring tens of thousands of people in Jun County and millions of people in Kaifeng, and ignoring the safety of the court and the official family. ”
"Kan Sandao? He is Kan Sandao! ”
"Kill him, kill him, cut him with a thousand knives, and throw him down the Yellow River!"
"His whole family should be beheaded, thinking that it is the ring of the world's officials."
"This son of a bitch!"
The people who are close to Zhao Guangyi are all officials above the fourth rank of the imperial court, and the one who scolded the rude words is also a big official, and he is still a Hanlin. He was excited, if it weren't for Kan Sandao, a bastard who ran away with his wife and children, and left this section of the river alone, how could the official family summon the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to live and die with the embankment?
With the joint efforts of hundreds of thousands of troops, local people, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the flood situation has finally passed, but in the past few days, they have suffered and suffered so much in fear, and all their anger has been concentrated on Kan Sandao's body, and the subjects and people unanimously demanded that Kan Sandao be executed, and many ministers were excited and tearful.
Zhao Guangyi looked at Kan Sandao coldly, Kan County Ling listened to the scolding like a tide, his face was as pale as dirt, and his legs trembled like a pendulum: "Confused, I'm really confused, the world is so big, where can I escape, why did I see the flood at that time, and the ghosts were confused and generally just wanted to escape?" If you really want to guard the embankment, you are also a loyal minister when you die, and now you ...... Now I am afraid that there is no place to bury me, and I will leave a reputation for eternity. ”
Zhao Guangyi suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled out the sword from the waist of Dai Xing, the capital in front of the palace, and walked towards Kan Sandao step by step, Kan Sandao trembled, suddenly broke away from Yacha's hand, and knelt on the ground, touched the ground with his forehead, probed his neck and died, and no longer dared to raise his face to look at it.
All the soldiers and civilians watched with bated breath, once, there was a state capital that also had a flood because of the unfavorable flood control of the chief official, when the first emperor Zhao Kuangyin was in power, because the state official was the brother of the Empress Dowager Du, the current uncle, finally avoided a death, dismissed the official for the people, and the deputy chief officer was sentenced to adult, but was beheaded on the street, and the body was thrown into the flood to serve the police.
Now, the county governance guarded by Kan Sandao is many times more important than the place where the flood occurred at the beginning, and he abandoned his post and fled, and his crime was added to the first degree. The people of the people, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, there is no one who does not hate him to the bone, what ending can he get?
Li Yu and Zhou Baoquan stood there side by side, watching with their eyes open, and saw Zhao Guangyi striding in front of the kneeling Kan County Order, and asked coldly: "Kan Sandao, are you guilty?" ”
"Minister...... Sin deserves death! ”
Kan Sandao cut his hands behind him, touched the ground with his forehead, and hit him three times in a row, "dong dong" sounded: "Ask the official family to give death!" ”
"Good, good, good, it's good for you to be guilty!" Zhao Guangyi looked up to the sky and laughed three times, waved the sword in his hand, and slashed down.
The sharp sword, "swish", cut off the rope that bound Kan Xianling's hands, as soon as the rope was broken, Kan Sandao's arms were loosened, his body stiffened for a while, and after a while, he hesitated to move his hands, slowly moved in front of him, raised his head tremblingly, looked at his hands, and raised his face to look at Zhao Guangyi in amazement.
Zhao Guangyi threw the sword back to Dai Xing and said: "People are afraid of death. But death is by no means the most terrible thing in the world. If you are a scholar, you should know that courtesy, righteousness, honesty, loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, and that if you are a shepherd, you should treat the people as your own people and love them with all your heart. Kan Sandao, you saw the raging flood, you thought that the embankment was no longer defensible, but at the critical moment, you also knew that you went home and took your parents, wife and children to flee together, it can be seen that although you are afraid of death, but the weight of death in your heart is still not as important as that of your parents, wives and children, I will not punish you this time, nor will I dismiss your officials, I only hope that you can take this matter as a lesson, and apply your filial piety to your parents and love for your wife and children to the court and the people under your rule. ”
Kan Sandao was stunned: "The official family ......"
Zhao Guangyi said: "You, or this Jun County Order, although the embankment is guarded now, it is only an emergency building, how to repair the embankment, always keep the peace of the party, you still have to be conscientious and careful." ”
Kan Sandao, who escaped death, couldn't imagine that the emperor would be so magnanimous, he was grateful, fell to the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and cried: "Official, Weichen immediately moved his family to live on the embankment, if he doesn't repair this river embankment to ensure the safety of the people, the minister will never leave this embankment, life, I want to stay on this embankment, die, and bury my bones on this embankment, be a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and be a loyal minister of His Majesty." ”
"Your Majesty, with the supreme body, protects the berm for all the people, which is for the great righteousness. The sins of the courtiers are generously forgiven, which is for the sake of great benevolence. The ancient sage king, the three emperors and the five emperors, is nothing more than that, how fortunate I am in the Great Song Dynasty, how fortunate I am. ”
Lu Duosun spread his hands, raised his arms and shouted, and a crowd responded, stopping the clouds.
Zhao Guangyi smiled faintly, turned around and said, "Go back to the city!" ”
Murong Qiudrunk followed Zhao Guangyi closely, Zhao Guangyi strode like flying, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "He wants to be a loyal minister, how can I not fulfill him, a loyal minister who almost killed me!" ”
Murong Qiu was fascinated by the comprehension, and hurriedly said: "The minister understands, after three or five months, the minister ...... must let him die a glorious death, and be an example of a loyal minister who is inspired by the official family and repents. ”
Zhao Guangyi led the civil and military officials back to Bianliang City, this time back to the city is very lively, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but all the officials in the four grades or more were all pulled up the river embankment by him to live and die together, their families are all worried, and now they are finally back, all the officials' families, together with the gentry and celebrities of the city, all come to greet each other outside the West Gate, and there are no less than 100,000 people.
As soon as Zhao Guangyi arrived, cheers and long live the sound rushed to the night, and many people rushed forward, looking for their relatives in the crowd. Zhao Guangyi sat on the chariot, listening to the sound of the mountain shouting, and for the first time realized the supreme glory of the emperor in addition to the supreme right.
With all the power and glory in place, this kind of life should be complete, right? ......Well, no, no, no, no, there are still some shortcoming, there is still the northwest, there are still Youyun, and there are still some great achievements in expanding the territory, after I collect all the northwest land and recapture the sixteen states of Youyun, I will be the first emperor of the ages, and I will cover the Han and Tang Dynasties, hehehehe...... Zhao Guangyi smiled and rolled up the curtain, smiled and waved to the gentry and people who shouted and worshipped, suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he saw an unforgettable flower and jade face in the crowd...... Zhao Guangyi's heart suddenly warmed: The lord of the world, should there also be a unparalleled beauty by his side?
"Wang Jien!"
"The minister is here!"
Wang Jien's edict to be released as the assassin of Hebei Province and the envoy of Hebei West Province has been issued, so he must now be called a minister, and he can no longer call himself a slave. The ministers next to them have relatives to greet them, and those ministers also took the initiative to walk to the side as soon as they arrived at the city gate, looking for their families, and Wang Jien had no relatives in Beijing, so although he was wearing the clothes of foreign ministers, he still followed Zhao Guangyi's Luan car in accordance with the old habits, and followed Zhao Guangyi's Luan car step by step, looking like a slave, and when Zhao Guangyi called, he immediately took a step forward and agreed, but this "minister" changed quickly enough.
"Ji En, what day is the time for the court officials and their families to meet the queen this month?"
Wang Jien checked it and replied: "When I go back to the official family, it should be the day after tomorrow, how can the official family ......?" ”
"Oh......"
Luan drove forward, the unforgettable shadow was no longer visible, and the smiling faces of the gentry in the city and waving their arms like a forest were all in sight, Zhao Guangyi smiled blankly, and said: "This time, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty followed me to the embankment to fight the flood, and the officials and relatives were frightened in the city, and they all suffered a lot, this time when the officials and eunuchs came to see Niangniang, I also went to meet them, and commended them to show appeasement......"
