readx; Wang Anshi walked into Yun Zheng's big tent and looked at the expressionless Yun Zheng and said: "The armor of the iron chain is all obtained by the Liao people. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yun Zheng nodded.

Wang Anshi saw that Yun Zheng was in a bad mood, and was about to leave the big tent, walked to the door and sighed: "Since the marshal has been operating in Xijing City for so many years, can't he be taken down bloodlessly like the grassland of western Yunnan, must he be filled with human lives?" ”

Yun Zheng withdrew his gaze from the map, glanced at Wang Anshi and said, "Do you still have something?" ”

Wang Anshi sighed and flicked his sleeves and left the big tent. He is now just a nominal logistics officer, and he has no right to make irresponsible remarks about Yun Zheng's command, but these words can only be said by him, if Chen Lin is allowed to say, the two supreme commanders in the army may have a dispute, which is very unfavorable to the army that is being conquest.

As soon as Wang Anshi left, Su Xun opened the curtain and walked in and said to Yun Zheng: "I just counted the battle damage, from last night to the end of the battle just now, 4,683 people were killed, 1,431 people were seriously injured, and the old man was slightly injured. ”

"Why are there so few seriously injured people?"

"Most of the soldiers who were seriously injured did not survive. However, the casualties of the Liao people ......"

"The casualties of the Liao people don't mean much to me, and it doesn't make sense to exchange the lives of my own subordinates for the lives of the enemy.

The ultimate goal of war is to kill less of our own people and more of the enemy, and if I can't even achieve this goal, what will I do in the north. ”

Su Xun asked cautiously: "I don't know what good strategy the marshal has to solve this dilemma?" ”

Yun Zheng chuckled and said: "Your requirements are too high, maybe it is because I have taken risks all these years that make you think that as long as you fight, you will definitely be able to die a few of your own people and win a big victory."

This is a bad habit, Yun Zheng is not a god. If you want to win, you can only move forward step by step, Xiao Dahu is not incompetent, we can have the current situation, you should be happy instead of asking me to come up with any good ideas.

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud that is good at attacking, and the enemy does not know what he is defending: he is good at guarding the past, and the enemy does not know what he is attacking. The old ancestor has almost exhausted his strategy, I know those famous battle examples, and the same people Xiao Dahu also knows, they are all students taught by the same teacher, how much difference can there be? ”

Su Xun said: "The old man naturally knows that now our army has taken advantage of the time and place, but the Liao army has fallen into a predicament. The momentum of the battle against the water has been completed, and under the violent tiger Feng River, even if our army completely annihilates Xiao Dahu, I am afraid that it will not be able to march north. ”

Yun Zheng spread his hands and smiled: "There is no way, our entire military strength is less than 200,000, and now we have to eat more than 300,000 people's army without paying the price?"

I originally planned to eat a part of Xiao Dahu's army in Xijing City. I never thought that we would leave Xiao Dahu's entire army here, and the current situation is like putting too many stuffing on the buns, no matter whether our appetite is good or not, we can only swallow it in one bite. ”

Su Xun nodded wistfully and said, "It's all about now." ”

Yun Zheng said to Su Xun: "Give an order to the whole army, be sure to build fortifications in the shortest possible time, and if you want your subordinates to die less, then use more strength on fortifications." ”

"Where did Trida go?"

"He's going to do what he has to do, Old Sue. Stay away from Cui Da in the future! ”

Su Xun felt a pang in his heart, Yun Zheng had never said such a thing to himself, and the warning in this sentence was very strong. He didn't know how to answer Yun Zheng for a while, but he just looked at Yun Zheng's meaningful eyes and withdrew from the handsome tent.

Groups of uniformed soldiers stood guard at the site of the first ice wall, sometimes sitting on the ground with spears in their arms, sometimes standing up and walking quickly along the antlers, which saved their strength and moved their bodies so that they would not freeze.

Sun Jie was sweating profusely at this time. He had just led someone to place the artillery on a high point, which almost drained the last bit of his strength. It wasn't until the cannon was safely placed in the already dug pit that he had a chance to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Look around. The artillery positions on the small earthen bags on the left and right sides have also been constructed, and the black muzzles of the guns have been directly facing the direction of the Liao army.

The last time the three artillery fired in unison did not kill Xiao Dahu, this gave the Liao army a trace of room for resistance, and now, the outside of the marshal's military tent is full of comrades who are about to be buried, and the pressure on the marshal must be very great, so seeing those comrades who are covered with white cloth, Sun Jie's pressure is also surprisingly great.

The winter sun is pale and small, and its presence is almost imperceptible on such cold days, and now, it is about to set.

Sun Jie carefully cleaned the barrel of the cannon, stuffed the gunpowder bag into the barrel with his assistant, and carefully selected a more beautiful shell and stuffed it into the chamber, the torch was on the side, as long as the powder rope was lit, the shell would fly out of the chamber.

The torch was burning, blown by the north wind, and a low trumpet sounded over, which seemed to contain infinite sorrow, two long and one short, which was the number of returning to the camp and the signal for the burial of the comrades who died in battle.

Without waiting for the horn to stop, Sun Jie lit the medicine rope, and the medicine rope sneered and burned into the cannon hole, Sun Jie covered his ears and shouted loudly: "Three shots, salvo!" ”

"Boom Boom"

After three loud bangs, three black projectiles appeared in mid-air, and this time its target was the trebuchet of the Liao army.

Black gunpowder smoke mixed with dark red fire light rose from the Liao trebuchet position, and all the Song troops cheered in unison, and the sound lingered over Xijing City for a long time, and the terrified Liao army wanted to move those cumbersome trebuchets backwards at the first time.

It's a pity that the range of the artillery is very long, and behind the second ice wall is enough to attack the walls of Xijing, so no matter how the Liao army transfers the trebuchet, they are under the threat of artillery.

Seeing the Liao people's trebuchets turn into broken wood and fly in the air with the Liao people's bodies, the cheers of the Song army became louder, and they were extremely resentful of the Liao people's trebuchets, it was these trebuchets that caused heavy damage to their side last night and today.

The cannon kept roaring, Yun Zheng was eating quietly, Wang Anshi and Chen Lin would shake their bodies unconsciously as soon as the cannon sounded, and the same was true for Su Xun, only Yun Zheng put a mouthful of snow-white rice into his mouth and said with a smile: "Xiao Dahu should attack again." ”

Wang Anshi and Chen Lin threw the unfinished rice in their hands on the table and prepared to go out to have a look, they didn't want to miss any scene of this big battle.

"There is still some effort to eat, from the whole army to the dispatch of troops, it will take at least half an hour, which is enough for us to eat."

Wang Anshi said worriedly: "The old man is worried that the rest of the directions will go wrong. ”

Yun Zheng said with a smile: "If Xiao Dahu is willing to break through from the west, if Jiang Zhe and they can't withstand it, just let them go, the north and south are hills, not suitable for war horses to run wildly, if you go to the west, Jiang Zhe and the triangular thorns they laid will leave the Liao people's war horses."

In the vast wasteland, without food and war horses, they could not go far. ”

Chen Lin looked at Yun Zheng and said, "If the big handsome is Xiao Dahu, which direction are you going to break through?" ”

Yun Zheng replied seriously: "If I were Xiao Dahu, I would only break through from the east, I didn't dare to leave my subordinates and flee alone, only by breaking through the defense line in the east could I join the Liao army in Tianchang and Qingdao counties, and rely on the small amount of military food in those two cities to see if I could escape back to Zhongjing." ”

"What if Xiao Dahu really breaks through from the west?"

Chen Lin regretted a little after asking this sentence, Da Song cared about the more than 300,000 troops under his command, not Xiao Dahu, if Xiao Dahu was willing to escape alone, Yun Zheng might send him away, and the gift of food and war horses might be due to righteousness.

Yun Zheng finished eating, put the rice bowl on the table, put on gloves, took his helmet and sword from the shelf, smiled at Chen Lin and Wang Anshi, and came out of the handsome tent.

It was already dark, the sky was a strange dark blue, and the moon was already hanging in the sky almost before the sun had set.

In previous years, this time was a good time for Yun Zheng and his family to sit in the conservatory and drink and admire the moon, but today, Yun Zheng had to get into the upstairs car and continue to watch the battle he didn't want to watch.

This time, when the Liao people rushed up, there was more of a tragic meaning, and countless Liao troops began to attack the fortifications of the Song army under the cover of their own archers without the cover of giant shields, holding spears, long knives, flails, and maces.

In order not to let their own people be killed by the crossbow arrows of the Song army, the Liao archers charged forward almost with the infantry of the brigade, but they needed to shoot arrows while walking.

Flying long arrows began to shoot from the outside of the Song army's arrows like waves, and the long arrows landed on the outside of the fortifications, like crops growing in an instant.

The Song army's eight-ox crossbows and ballistae have not stopped since the Liao people entered the firing range, and how many Liao people were taken away by the thick crossbow guns, there were immediately new Liao people to replenish them, and some Liao people with feathers on their heads kept beating the long drum on their waists, and they did not forget to beat the drum while moving forward and dancing.

The singing of the Liao people came from the opposite side, and while the crossbow battalion had not yet exerted its might, they began to run, and at the forefront was a big man who was missing an arm.

"I am a cowherd,

Born in heaven and earth

Catch tigers and leopards in the daytime,

Catch white wolves at night.

Arms fight bears,

Chase the horse with both legs.

Bending a bow can shoot eagles,

The long knife chases the thief......

I'm a cowherd......"

Wang Anshi has the ability to never forget, the local dialect of the Khitan people has no hindrance to him, and he can even translate a trace of Chinese rhyme in those rough Khitan dialects.

This is the boast of the warriors, and it is also the Liao people who are cheering for themselves, at this time, these Liao people with empty bellies still have such courage, even Yun Zheng admires Xiao Dahu's ability to control the tiger.

Today, Chen Lin broke open the stomachs of some dead Liao people, but no serious food was found in their stomachs, so it was determined that the food of the Liao people was indeed taken away by Cui Da.

However, admiration is admiration, when the Liao brigade crossed the rangefinder arrow, Yun Zheng still ordered the Nu Bow Battalion to start covering shooting. (To be continued)
