"Man is in thorns, not moving nor thorns. The heart is in the red dust. It doesn't hurt if you don't move. If the heart does not move, people do not move, and if they do not move, they will not hurt; If the heart moves, people move vainly, hurt their bodies and hurt their bones, and then experience all kinds of pain in the world. All love will be, impermanence is rare for a long time, life is fearful, life is in danger in the morning, from love to worry, from love to fear, if you are separated from your beloved, worry-free and fearless......"

A pillar of sandalwood, two red candles, Yongqing clasped his hands together, and was silently chanting. Although she did not become a monk because she believed in the Buddhist scriptures, but after a few years, she was in Buddhism, and her understanding of the scriptures was not weaker than that of a real bhikshuni, and the helplessness of the real world made her more pinned on the Buddha's world.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the quiet palace, this was a situation that should never have happened, and Yongqing was surprised in his heart. Then he got up and walked out, and saw the maids and attendants standing in the middle of the hall, talking to each other and whispering.

Yongqing asked, "What's wrong?" ”

As soon as she saw the princess taking the initiative to ask, a nun who had entered the palace with her hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Dingru Master, an assassin suddenly appeared in the palace, and the saint was furious, and he ordered the forbidden palace to be sealed and the murderer arrested. This nun was originally her personal maidservant, and when Yongqing became a monk, she also became a monk and has been waiting for her to be her confidant.

Yongqing was secretly taken aback when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Someone assassinated the official's family? ”

"Exactly."

An attendant hurriedly rushed forward and said softly: "Master don't worry, the master is surrounded by masters like clouds, no matter how good the assassin is, he can't get close to it at all, how can he hurt the saint in the slightest." Now that martial law has been imposed in the palace, the assassin will not be able to escape, so please go back and rest if you are like a master, don't worry. ”

Yongqing groaned slightly, nodded, and turned to walk towards his room.

"Someone actually broke into the palace and assassinated? What a clever skill, what a fearless courage! ”

Yongqing had mixed feelings in his heart: "It's a pity, that wicked man has a big life, if he really kills him." How nice that would be. ”

Yongqing walked into the room, her beautiful eyes flashed, just saw a figure flashing by, Yongqing was taken aback, and was about to drag out with an exclamation, but a big hand had suddenly appeared, tightly choking her slender neck, that hand was very powerful, like a vice, look like that, just a force, you can cut off her neck, at this time the person has not used force, Yongqing has been out of breath.

Bisu was about to kill someone, but suddenly saw that he had captured a bhikshuni, and accidentally bumped into a monk in the palace, and Bisu was stunned, and the strength of his hand suddenly relaxed. Yongqing was almost suffocated, and looked in horror, but saw a man with pale cheeks like snow, but his eyes were fierce like a wolf with sharp teeth. He was staring at himself coldly.

The nun in front of her is very young, dressed in a tie robe, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, the pair of apricot eyes that are wide open because of consternation, like the charm of the water and the moon, clear as water, pure and flawless, Bisu knows that she is in danger, as long as this nun shouts, she can attract the guards of the brigade in an instant, but the hand is trembling, and she can't hold it down no matter what.

Yongqing looked at this murderous assassin steadily, and noticed that his iron palm holding her throat was slightly loosened, she gasped sharply, and suddenly asked, "You...... The assassin who assassinated the emperor? ”

"Yes, I am!"

Yongqing's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said, "Let go of me, I'll help you drag you down." ”

Bisu was surprised: "You? ”

When he fled, his back was hit by two big internal guards, although his fleshy palms were like iron, but his body was not bad, those two palms had already injured his internal organs, and then he jumped high and low all the way to escape before he could breathe, and the injury was even more serious, and he couldn't escape at this moment, but ...... She wants to help herself? Who is she? Why would you take the risk to save your life? This nun ...... Is it trustworthy?

The noise outside the hall became louder and louder, and the guards of the forbidden army searched the palaces one by one, and when they heard the sound, they had found this side hall, and Yongqing had a peaceful smile on his face. Said softly: "You either believe in me, or kill me, and go and break a bloody road, you choose!" ”

Her smile was faint, as gentle as the water moon, her eyes were like the water moon, innocent, pure, kind, gentle ......, staring at such a pair of eyes, Bisu's hand involuntarily let go, inch by inch, inch by inch left her throat......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After a night of heavy snowfall, I woke up early in the morning, and the plum blossoms in the backyard actually opened. The white snow was thickly covered with dragon-like branches, and plum blossoms emerged from under the snow and dotted with fluffy branches, as if they had sprinkled a little blood on the snow.

As usual, wearing a cotton robe, he walked to the backyard with a hazy face, looked up, and unexpectedly found plum blossoms blooming under the snow, he leaned closer, carefully looked at it for a long time, and then sighed softly and took a few steps back. Raised his leg and kicked on a bamboo fence beside him, the bamboo fence shook for a while, and the snow spilled on the ground, Fold Yuxun stretched out two fingers, grabbed a piece of bamboo and twisted a few times, stretched out his hand and pulled it up, and held the bamboo strip in his hand.

He took a deep breath and practiced his swordsmanship under the tree, and the swordsmanship of Fold Yuxun was wide open and closed, and the momentum was majestic, and a thin piece of bamboo was like a sledgehammer in his hand. There is a feeling of weight, and the endless resentment, worry, and depression in Yuxun's heart are all thrown into the sword dance by him, and the snow rises with the sword, and the wind is agitated.

In the corner of the courtyard, a few soldiers who were hunched their necks and holding their guns, patrolling slowly, as usual, occasionally glanced here, lazily and casually, and then chatted with themselves.

"Hey, I heard that Ouchi was robbed last night?"

"Is that a thief? That's a thief! Dare to assassinate the thief of the official's family, looking at the world, how many can you count? ”

"This person's courage is too great, and the saint dares to assassinate, not to mention that the masters around the saint are like clouds, even if he really succeeds, can he still leave alive?"

"Nonsense, people dare to go, can they still plan to come back alive? Just like Jing Ke, people go with a heart of death. But then again, this person is really good, he can't do it, he actually escaped under the nose of the official, he is high, and he is capable. ”

"Capable people? He can have a fart again, transfer all the way to the soldiers, he has to fart and pee, think that Nie Yinniang red line girl, it is said that thousands of miles away flying swords to kill people, I didn't see them can fight against the emperor, even a party can not deal with the envoy, this is called ants bite the elephant to death, now the city is full of martial law, everywhere to pursue the murderer, he has the ability to not dare to face? ”

The other soldier laughed: "Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, because of this incident." The brothers of each battalion have to be busy again, to say, our brothers are lucky, they stay in the compound of the Zhe family, and the food of the Zhe family is a hundred times better than that in the barracks......"

A few soldiers chatted and walked over slowly, Zhi Yuxun practiced martial arts under the tree every day, venting the resentment in his heart, they had long been surprised, and they didn't bother to pay attention to it. Zhe Yuxun danced three times under a plum tree, until sweat oozed from his body, then he lost the bamboo strips and returned to his residence.

When he returned to his lodgings, it was when Madame Fold had made breakfast. Zhen Yuxun's life has never been so regular in his life, but now his daily life is exactly the same, constantly repeating, and there is no new idea at all.

Mrs. Zhe came from the dining room with a tray, there were a few light side dishes on the tray, followed by a half-sized child, looking at the clothes should be the third child of the Fold family, Zhe Weichang was wearing a rabbit down jacket, wearing a gray rabbit skin hat, and holding a large bowl of japonica rice porridge in his hand, because the snow under his feet was not clear, and the sea bowl of rice soup in his hand was along the side, and the heat was steaming, so he lowered his head and eyes and carefully paid attention to his feet, and followed Mrs. Zhe slowly.

Because Fuzhou has fallen into the hands of the imperial court, Yang Hao's territory has nothing to do with the Zhe family, plus after Yang Hao called the emperor self-reliant, the original reason is no longer important, the imperial court has a legitimate reason to send troops to fight, so the use value of the Zhe family is not large, but Zhao Guangyi used not very glorious means to seize Fuzhou, before the Hexi was decided, he was worried that the Zhe family would disregard the interests and publicize the truth of the fall of Fuzhou, so the Zhe family is still under surveillance, and they are not allowed to hire slaves, One rì and three meals are all cooked by the people of the folding family.

It has been more than half a year since the Zhi family was captured here, and the soldiers' monitoring of the Zhi family has long been a mere formality, especially the various activities of the Zhi family in the inner courtyard, which no one has paid attention to. Even when they were most closely surveilled, it was impossible to monitor and check the daily life of the hundreds of people in the folded family one by one. A big-headed soldier squatting and drinking porridge under the porch of the wing room raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Zhe's mother and son casually, then buried his head again, gently turned the big bowl in his hand, and sighed around the white rice porridge.

As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Zhe raised her voice and said, "Official, it's time to eat." ”

"Eat first. I have no appetite. ”

Zhi Yuxun replied in a muffled voice, and he was standing by the wall washing his face with the cold well water in the basin. The second and fourth are sitting in the room, and the family has always maintained the habit of being in Fuzhou, and the family has to get together during the meal.

"The New Year is coming, Zhang's shop sent a lot of New Year's goods according to our menu, and after breakfast, I took a few children to the kitchen to clean up, and sent them to a few elders and each room."

Mrs. Fold said loudly while covering the door.

As soon as the door was closed, the half-grown boy who had just put down the porridge bowl slowly raised his head, and the old man who was sitting at the table saw the person wearing the second brother's clothes at a glance, and couldn't help but be shocked, and the chopsticks in front of him were touched to the ground by him. Before he could exclaim in surprise, the second brother beside him was already quick and covered his mouth.

"How old are you, still frizzy......"

Zhe Yuxun was wiping his face vigorously with a towel, and when he heard the chopsticks fall to the ground, he reprimanded angrily, but his towel was removed, and he saw the person standing at the table clearly at a glance, and his voice stopped abruptly, and the whole person seemed to be petrified, and stayed there fixedly.

"Big brother...... "Excerpt Yu called softly, and a pair of sparkling eyes quickly covered with a layer of mist.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Why did you save me?"

In the depths of the side hall, it was dark, and Bisu sat cross-legged on the couch, looking at this strange nun suspiciously.

Yongqing stared at the ring scar on his head, and in front of him, it was clearly a monk, but a monk pretended to be an assassin, who was he?

Yongqing didn't answer and asked: "Why did you assassinate the official family?" You should be well aware that even if you succeed, you won't be able to leave alive. ”

Bi Su said hatefully: "From the moment Jiangzhou slaughtered the city, the only mission I have to live is to kill Zhao Guangyi!" As long as you can kill him, what does it matter if you can leave alive or not? ”

"Jiangzhou?" Yongqing's heart moved, and he dragged his mouth and asked, "Your relatives...... Died in the Battle of Jiangzhou? ”

Bisu's teeth rattled, his eyes had slowly turned red, and he said word by word: "That's not a battle, it's an army's slaughter of a group of unarmed and kind people!" ”

Yongqing stared at him quietly, from Bisu's expression and tone, she could see how deep Bisu's hatred was, how painful the injuries she had suffered, and that crazy look had really reached the point of doing anything for revenge. His relatives died in the war because of Zhao Guangyi's order. And his relatives died directly in the hands of Zhao Guangyi, compared with the two, whose hatred is heavier and whose pain is deeper? But what he could do for his relatives was ...... himself, and Yongqing felt ashamed in his heart.

It's not that she doesn't want revenge, it's just that she has too many ties...... There are too many ......, she wants to avenge her father, and she has to find a way to continue the foundation created by her father, she wants to kill the great enemy who killed her father and the king, but she also wants to do her best to protect her brother, the wrath of the husband, the corpse of the two, bleeding five steps, the world is very happy, she also thinks, but ...... She couldn't.

Bi Su thought of the tragic death of Shui Yue, and it was difficult to control his anger for a while, and it took a long time for him to suppress the killing intent in his heart, slowly raised his head, and asked in a cold voice: "Do you know now why I killed him?" Because...... I have a grudge against him! This time, I didn't succeed, but as long as I live, I'll come back next time! What about you...... Who are you, you know that I am the murderer of the assassin, but you want to risk saving me, why? Don't tell me, it's because of the compassionate heart of the Buddhist disciples, hehe, in the world, the emperor is the greatest, the Buddha is in the western sky, it is difficult to care for the world! ”

Yongqing looked at him quietly and said softly, "I saved you just because...... I and the person you want to assassinate also have a grudge against the sky. ”

Bisu raised his eyebrows and said, "As a monk, you can live in the palace, which can be seen...... You have a lot to do with the royal family, and you will have a grudge against Zhao Guangyi? Who are you? ”

Yongqing clasped his hands together and said: "Poor Ni Dingru, when she was not a monk, she was the princess Yongqing of the Song Kingdom. ”

After Zhao Guangyi ascended the throne, he pretended to crown Yongqing as the princess of the kingdom of Qiu, but in Yongqing's heart, she would always be the little Yongqing by her father's side, and the title of the princess of the kingdom was directly ignored by her.

Bisu naturally knew who Princess Yongqing was, and as soon as she heard her identity, she immediately understood why she wanted to save herself: "Princess Yongqing? So you are...... Your father was ...... by him."

Princess Yongqing clenched her pink fists tightly, and her eyes were faintly bloodshot: "My father, he was killed by him, he is a great minister who kills kings and stands on his own." However, he is now the emperor, and I can't kill him. But...... I have a chance to get close to him, you have the ability to kill, but you can't get close to him. Since you and I share the same enemy, how about you and I cooperate? ”

Bisu's eyes suddenly lit up: "How to cooperate?" ”

"I offer the opportunity for you to kill! But this opportunity, you have to wait. ”

Bisu nodded heavily: "I can wait, I've been waiting for a long, long time, as long as there is a chance, I will be very patient and wait for it to appear!" ”

"Good!"

Yongqing nodded and said: "Now the palace is strictly forbidden, five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, anyone who enters and leaves will be carefully checked, you stay here patiently, and the queen mother will help me take care of you." I will leave the palace immediately, creating a false impression that you have escaped from the palace, and the vigilance in the palace will naturally be relaxed, and I will find a way to take you out next time. ”

Bisu smiled coldly and said, "As soon as the martial law in the palace is lifted, I can leave." ”

"That's okay, the poor nun is now practicing in the west of the city 'Chongxiao Nunnery', if you leave the palace, you can come there to find me, and we can make a good living."

This nun, who seems to be kind and simple as Shui Yue, finally brought out a cold murderous aura in her voice......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Chi Zhong is dead? Hey! Well dead, good dead! This wolf-hearted thing, I regard him as a confidant, I didn't expect him to stab me in the heart, but unfortunately, he voted for the wrong master, the cunning rabbit is not dead, and the lackey has been cooked, it's really happy, haha......"

In the bedroom, I heard that Chi Zhong was dead, Yang Hao was called the emperor, and now he and the Song army relied on the battle of Hengshan for several months without a trace, and the Yu Xun had a big heart, and the depressed atmosphere of many rì came to be swept away, he let out a long breath, and suddenly turned to Zhen Ziyu, and said with blazing eyes: "He has established a country, he has now established a country and called the emperor, so how is he going to settle you?" He has the original match, and our family can't grab the position of queen, so why should he also make you a concubine? Not...... The girl of the Tang family took the lead, could it be that he made you a concubine? ”

There is a so-called three palaces and six courtyards, which are all specious statements derived from unknown royal rules, and the three palaces actually refer to the three palaces of the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen, or the queen mother, the queen mother, and the queen are the three palaces. The so-called six palaces or six courtyards refer to the queen's residence, and there are six queen's bedrooms, one is a main bed, and five swallows are collectively called six palaces or six courtyards.

Before the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was only one queen, unique, and under it was a concubine, in order of Concubine Chen, Concubine Shu, Concubine De, Concubine Xian, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Guifei; The above are all a title with only one person, and then there is no limit to the number of titles in the future, which are Guiyi, Shunrong, Wanyi, Wanrong, Chongyuan, Xiuyi, Xiuyi, Xiuyuan, Zhaorong, Zhaoyi; The second level is Jieyu, beauty, and talent; Then there was the lady; The lowest level is the Red Shadow and the Attendant.

Zhi Yuxun pondered that his sister's identity, status, and talent were not bad, and with Yang Hao's personality, the Zhe family ended up like this, and he loved his sister deeply, no matter what aspect he considered, he would not treat her badly, so he asked this question.

Hearing this, Zhi Ziyu said angrily and ashamedly: "Brother, people have tried their best to come in, just worrying about you and your family, and you are talking about these unrelated things." ”

Fold Yuxun stiffened his neck and said, "Why don't you get along?" Our family, young and old, is all confined in this Bianliang City, and we can't live; Die, can't die. From now on, there will be no more rì. I only have you as a sister, what do I care about if I don't care about your life? Yang Hao, that kid didn't feel sorry for you, right? ”

Excerpt Ziyu paused, and said angrily: "People didn't marry him!" ”

"What?" Fold Yuxun's face turned purple when he landed: "Good, good, good!" Broken drums and everyone beat ah, this is, I have nothing to do now, he treats you like this, I broke Yuxun blind, and I actually made this wolf-hearted thing a brother......"

"Brother......

Hearing the eldest brother scolding, Zhen Ziyu didn't like to listen to it: "Brother, it's my refusal to marry him now, it's none of his business." ”

Zhi Yuxun glared at him and said, "You obviously love him, why are you still thinking about the matter of the past being so little bit of a dog's skin?" Sister, it's not that the big brother said you, you're too stingy. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhe Ziyu rolled his eyes at the eldest brother, and said helplessly: "A family of young and old is suffering in Bianliang, how can you let Ziyu marry with peace of mind?" ”

Zhen Yuxun said: "If you talk about suffering, you can't talk about it, it's just eating and waiting for death, and doing nothing." For this, you will not marry for the rest of your life? You...... You're such a bastard, you've never been relieved......"

Excerpt Ziyu cried and laughed: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to marry, I just can't rest assured that you, in fact, ...... I...... I have promised him that when I have saved you, I will ...... Marry him......"

Zhen Yuxun's eyes straightened, and he sat on the couch with his butt: "It's over!" Waiting for you to get us out? As you can see, with the defense of this house, if I want to escape alone, I may not be able to leave, but if I leave, all my family will be buried here. It's not that I can't walk, it's that I can't. But if you want me to leave with a family full of 100 people, old and young, it will be impossible for the gods to do it. With such a condition, what is the difference between that and not marrying for the rest of your life? ”

Zhe Ziyu looked around, lowered his voice and said: "Big brother, save me from the Zhe family and leave, there may not be no chance, Yang Hao has a treasure in his hand, this treasure is far more important in Zhao Guangyi's heart than my Zhe family, he said...... When the time is right, I will use this thing to exchange it for my family. ”

Zhi Yu Xunqi said: "What is so important? ”

Zhen Ziyu whispered four words, and when Zhen Yuxun heard the four words of the jade seal of the country, he was shocked: "This thing...... It actually fell into his hands? He...... Is he willing to give this thing to Zhao Guangyi in order to save me? Impossible, how is it possible, it is the jade seal of the country, it is the destiny of heaven, he is now the emperor of the country, how important this thing is to him, how can he be willing to give it away. ”

Listening to his eldest brother's words, he remembered that Yang Hao had exchanged treasures that were incomparably precious to an emperor in order to save his family, and he couldn't help but feel agitated. The jade seal of the country, when it was still a piece of He's bi, the Qin State wanted to exchange fifteen cities, and the Zhao State did not agree. When it is endowed with the great significance of "divine power of the emperor and the return of the mandate of heaven", how should its value be measured? Priceless!

Over the years, for some tangled reasons, he has been fighting coldly and embarrassing him, what is Yang Hao's status now? It's not that he hasn't seen a woman, as long as he wants it, there is absolutely no shortage of women, but in his heart, he is so important that he is willing to give up even the jade seal of the country! A daughter's family, there is a man who loves him like this, what more can she ask for? Those infatuated entanglements in the past, when I think about it now, I just feel funny.

Ziyu felt a burst of softness and bitterness in his heart, a burst of sweetness and a burst of regret, a hundred turns and a thousand times, and he couldn't help but think about it. She had never wanted to rush to his side at once, throw herself into his arms, and repay his affection with her tenderness.

Zhe Yuxun is the local leader who once ruled one side, he was surprised and quickly regained his senses, he thought that the Zhe family would stay in Kaifeng forever, and no longer zìyóu, no matter who has great ability, it is impossible to save them from dragging them into trouble, but the jade seal of the country ......, if there is anything else in the world that can reverse the fate of the Zhe family, probably only this treasure, in this way, the Zhe family may not be hopeless if they want to drag the trap.

Originally, his heart was dead, and he only thought that his sister could have a good home, but his last wish, but now with this hope, he suddenly regained his vitality, and his heart and eyes were alive: "No, sister, this can't be done, it's too reckless to do this, Zhao Guangyi is greedy and greedy, if Yang Hao takes the initiative to remove the emperor's name and surrender, Zhao Guangyi will be more arrogant, if he refuses to exchange us for the jade seal, and continues to send troops to fight and force Yang Hao to hand over the jade seal, Yang Hao's plan may not be satisfactory." ”

Excerpt Ziyu said: "Since Yang Hao dared to be the emperor, he was ready to remove the emperor's title, how could he be without fear." He didn't say it to me, but I guess...... He wanted to borrow the power of the Liao State. ”

Excerpt Yu has always been smart, and even Folded Yuxun often asks her about every major event, and she is naturally very convinced of her sister's judgment. He is not a mediocre person, a little girl, he thought about it deeply, he already understood, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Yes, ten ** should be like this, as long as he pretends to be a jade seal in Liao, Zhao Guangyi can still calm down, so to speak, our family really has hope of escaping!" ”

The two brothers and sisters are not mediocre talents, but what they think and think only ends here, they didn't think that Yang Hao was unfathomable, but when they thought of this step, they knew that the Zhe family was hopeful, and Zhe Yuxun was very excited, and his body and mind were relaxed.

Excerpt Yu said: "Big brother, I ventured in, first, I wanted to visit you and see how you are doing now; The second is to tell you this big secret in person, don't be depressed and sick because you are trapped here, or think that it is hopeless to drag on the sleep, which angers Zhao Guangyi and causes death. Now that the war in Hexi is in full swing, it will take a while to wait for a good opportunity to save you from the trap, you ...... Be sure to be patient. ”

Zhi Yuxun said excitedly: "Don't worry, since you have hope, the eldest brother will wait patiently!" ”

After speaking, he said worriedly: "Little sister, although the imperial court is not so strict with us now, there are still soldiers stationed in the mansion after all, you must not come again, so as not to startle the snake." ”

Excerpt Ziyu said: "Big brother, don't worry, if it weren't for the fact that I didn't know the location of the buildings in the house, the number of soldiers stationed in the house, where you each lived, and whether the soldiers were closely monitored, my sister would have sneaked in at night a long time ago, and now I can appear in front of you in such a big way, it looks easy, I have done enough work beforehand." After leaving this time, I will not come again unless it is a special event, you just have to wait patiently for the situation to change. ”

Zhi Yuxun nodded, thought about it carefully, but instructed uneasily: "Sister, after leaving, you should go back to Hexi immediately, eldest brother doesn't want you to have any accidents." Besides, you are not too old now, and if you continue like this, if you are old and ......yellow, cough cough, I mean, if you marry him first and save your eldest brother, he will be more concerned, right? I can't give up my sister and can't put a wolf on it, when it comes to the ...... of the child, I'm afraid your brother can't drink the wedding wine, but I can go and drink the child's full moon wine, yes, it's such an idea, you give me a little nephew first, and the status in the palace will be ......stable."

"Get out!"

Folded Ziyu was annoyed and ashamed, and stomped on the instep of the eldest brother's feet, Folded Yuxun snorted, and stopped imagining the life of the little sister's harem.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In the vast snowfield, only reckless, the Song army and the Xia army launched a fierce battle.

The six-hundred-step bed crossbow was raised to the head of the city, and the huge arrow broke through the air, and the whistling sound almost pierced the eardrum. Although the stone throwing machine used by the Song army is the traditional stone throwing machine in the Central Plains, which requires a lot of manpower, the Song army has sufficient manpower, so it can also ensure the continuous cāo work of the stone throwing machine, with the black pressure on a group of gunners, one hundred and ten fiber ropes pull, a huge stone will roll in the air, with a silent heavy pressure to the city, each boulder falls, smashed into the dirt, mixed with blood and scraps of flesh and bones.

Melee siege weapons such as slug shields and pointed wooden donkeys continued to approach under the cover of long-range strikes, and trench bridges, folding trench bridges, folding ladders, and battering rams were also massively assembled to launch fierce attacks. The Song army has begun to use gunpowder weapons, but at this time the gunpowder weapons are mainly used for arson and poisonous smoke, fire thistles, fire crows, poisonous smoke clusters, making the city a black smoke miasma, but now it is winter, Xiazhou City is surrounded by plains, the cold wind is howling, this primitive chemical weapon to the Xia army gan disturbance effect is very limited.

This was the first batch of siege equipment that the Song army had just arrived under the city of Xiazhou, and the Song army immediately used these weapons to launch a more fierce offensive against the city of Xiazhou, but the defensive force in the city was also strengthened, and the bed crossbow and the new stone throwing cart that had not been used were also pulled up to the city, and the Song army outside the city launched a fierce confrontation.

Wang Jien put on his helmet and armor, personally stood at the front to supervise the battle, and ordered all the troops to fight in turns, and did not give the city a moment of rest. Since they paid great sacrifices to forcibly seize the iron smelting fortress, the troops came to the city of Xiazhou, because of the lack of necessary siege weapons, they have been repeating the preparations for besieging the city and cutting off the periphery, until this batch of equipment arrived, he didn't want to wait any longer, he eagerly looked forward to the moment when he broke through the city as soon as possible and witnessed the fall of the capital of Xia State, if he could break through Xiazhou City and capture the emperor of Xia State alive, then with his close relationship with the official family, coupled with such immortal military exploits, a duke position must not be able to run.

The company camp is dozens of miles, the flags are fluttering, the swords and guns are shining, the Chinese army camp, the messenger scouts come and go in a hurry, and they look murderous. Pan Mei sat firmly in the Chinese army, snuggled up to the stove, flipped through the military intelligence reports, and synthesized the news from all aspects, but gradually developed a feeling of unease.

To do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Whether it is a field battle or a fortified city, the dependence on heavy supplies is very heavy, and the overall transportation of heavy grain and straw is the top priority of the war. In this regard, although he had paid considerable attention to it beforehand, it now seems that he had seriously underestimated the difficulties that might be encountered in advance.

Different from the previous wars, when the Song army attacked Jinghu, Shu, Han and Tang countries, the problem of grain and grass did not need to worry about the commander at all, the infantry of the Song army was invincible, although the naval army was not as strong as the infantry, but there was no problem in serving as a supply and transportation task, when it was really bad, they could also take food on the spot, to feed the war, when they attacked the above countries, there were big cities and big mansions everywhere, and it was very easy to solve the food problem nearby.

But this time is different, from Hengshan is a barren land, in addition to heavy snow or heavy snow, this is the Song State since the founding of the country, the first long-distance northern expedition, deep into the desert snow field, and is a winter battle. Combat experience in such a special terrain and climate is very scarce, and it is the first time that the grain and grass supply line has been stretched so long. Because the supply difficulties caused by the long journey and the ice and snow became particularly obvious, if the Xia army could effectively attack it on the periphery, this fragile lifeline could easily be cut off, and the more troops besieging the city, the more serious the difficulties caused by the cutting off of the supply line, and the consequences would be unimaginable......
