Chapter 51: Harassment
readx; The Song army began a new round of actions to raise and widen the ice wall, and even Yun Zheng was involved in this crazy activity. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
They are all people who have been eating on the battlefield for a long time, and the Jingxi Army also smelled the smell of danger, after a short day of rest, thick smoke rose outside Xijing City, this time Yun Zheng dug out the coal from a dirt bag on the edge of Xijing, in fact, the surrounding area of Datong Mansion itself is a famous coal-producing area, how can others not know that Yun Zheng does not know, there are a lot of black and whirring mountains, in fact, they are bare coal mountains, and the plough is transported back from the coal mountain again and again, and then it is lit on the simple marching stove, There are all sorts of strange things on the shelves to boil water.
This thing will kill people after igniting it in the igloo, but it is very good to use it to melt ice and snow, making the ice wall is very simple, the sergeants put a basket of snow on the ice wall, and then step on it with their feet, and then a basin of ice water that has just melted is poured on it, and the ice wall will be more than a foot taller with the effort of tea.
The guards on Diao Dou watched enviously as his companions were boiling fire and water on the ground, and he was the only one standing on Diao Dou drinking the northwest wind, but he still stared at the Xijing City opposite, not daring to have any negligence.
Countless soldiers in the room behind the ice wall were sleeping in their clothes, their weapons in their arms, and once the horn sounded, they needed to go up to the top as soon as possible to fight the Liao people.
After the first ice wall was as high as two zhang, Yun Zheng began to take the idle people in the army to build the second ice wall, which was only twenty zhang away from the first ice wall

, the team defense is extremely advantageous.
The news from Wu Jie proved that Yun Zheng's judgment was right, the Liao army in Datong County frantically forced into Xijing, and Wu Jie met unexpectedly in the wasteland, and the battle lasted all day, and finally Wu Jie was unwilling to lose both with the crazy Liao army, so he retreated ten miles and camped, taking advantage of the Liao army's licking wounds, and also built an ice wall of 100 zhang in the middle of the steep valley.
At the same time, the enemy troops of Changqing County and Tiancheng County also walked out of the city, which can be called a nest dispatch, according to Hu Balunyin's report, the number was no less than 30,000.
At this point, Yun Zheng's heart finally let go, things are developing in the direction he expected, once the Liao people who are staggering forward in the ice and snow have no war horse, they will be just human targets in front of the Song army, which is equipped with a lot of various long-range weapons.
When Yun Zheng returned to the tent exhausted, he found that the white fur on his body had become a rag, fortunately this thing was waterproof, otherwise he would have strived like a monkey to peel off the wet clothes that stuck to the flesh.
Put your hands on the charcoal fire and roast them a little, and when you come back to your senses, your hands hurt your heart.
Chen Lin helped Yun Zheng take off his coat and complained: "This kind of stupid work shouldn't be done by a handsome!" ”
"At this time, the most idle person in the army is the Chinese army, the war has developed to the present, whether I am or not is actually the same, as long as we build the wall high enough, we will win this battle."
Chen Lin senses
"The old man used to always wonder why the marshal must win every battle, many times the old man thought that the marshal was not defeated, but covered up those defeats with greater victories, and now it seems that the marshal is trying his best to fight every time he fights, I have a boss who burns the fire, the boss who builds the wall, how can he not win?" ”
"It's not as noble as you say, on the battlefield, anyone's life is in danger, I just want to try to save my own life, to lose the enemy's life, so, sometimes I have to do things a little bit, and I ask the prison army to hide more."
Taking advantage of the rare emotion in this vicious hometown, if you don't ease the situation between the two sides at this time, it will really not be the Son of Man.
Although Yun Zheng is the boss in the army, if this old guy really makes it bad from the bottom of his heart, Yun Zheng believes that his trip to the north will most likely not go smoothly.
He can ignore Chen Lin's extremely stinky advice, but he can't wantonly humiliate this old guy, every person without a little ** in his crotch has a somewhat distorted temperament, even if Chen Lin, an old eunuch, only wants to die with the emperor, so as to leave a good reputation as a loyal servant through the ages, this does not mean that this old guy will not have any caution.
Since being stabbed in the back by Bao Zheng, a loyal minister of the ages, Yun Zheng no longer dares to look down on the discipline of the Great Song magnates.
Chen Lin said with a smile: "The old man still knows this by not being affected by the order of the monarch outside, as long as the big man thinks about my Great Song and shares his worries for His Majesty, the old man will naturally not talk too much." ”
Yun Zheng squatted on the edge of the brazier and said with a smile: "The Northern Expedition is one."

In such a long period of time, a general who is out on an expedition will inevitably have some misunderstandings with His Majesty, and secretly think that the reason why my Great Song Dynasty will set up the post of supervising the army in the army is to give the general and His Majesty more a bridge of communication.
In order to deal with the immediate crisis, it is impossible to say that it will go against some of His Majesty's wishes. ”
The two were going back and forth in a hypocritical manner, but they saw the scouts hurriedly enter the military tent and report that the trumpets in Xijing City were constantly sounding, and the Liao soldiers at the head of the city were also frequently mobilized, and according to the scouts on Diao Dou, the Liao army in Xijing City began to assemble on a large scale.
After listening to the scout's report, Chen Lin stood up with a bang, and as soon as he grabbed his long sword, he was about to rush out to kill the enemy for the country.
Yun Zheng continued to roast the fire and said: "Don't worry, the Liao people have just begun to assemble now, and it will take at least three hours for them to open the door and break through, and if the 300,000 army wants to reach their position in a short time, it will not be possible to do it in two hours, even if they are all in a city."
Besides, such a thick snow may not be suitable for Xiao Dahu to break through, not to mention that he still has serious injuries on his body, it is a reason for him to break through and trap the city now, I don't believe that Xiao Dahu's dignified King of the Northern Courtyard of Liao Kingdom will not be able to see the situation in front of him clearly?
So, this guy is bluffing or relying on frequent transfers of troops and horses to slowly build up the morale of the soldiers.

lest once it is necessary to break through, their own army will lose their morale. ”
Chen Lin smiled awkwardly and returned to his seat to drink tea, as long as there was the sound of a bullhorn outside, he immediately began to get nervous, and he had already crushed three teacups in a small effort.
Xiao Dahu was very busy in the city, not only blowing trumpets, but also playing drums, gongs, and sometimes even opening the city gate and rushing out of a hundred and ten people, whistling past the ice wall, and then leaving dozens of corpses and hurried back to the city.
This harassment began in the afternoon and continued until late at night. It is unclear whether Xiao Dahu wants to rush out or not.
Because he was busy all day during the day, Yun Zheng slept soundly, but Chen Lin carried a sword and cruised behind the ice wall all night, and when Yun Zheng woke up after dawn, Chen Lin rubbed his astringent eyes and walked into the handsome tent.
"The golden drums are beating outside the house, why can the handsome man still lie down?"
"Without him, trust your subordinate generals!"
Seeing Chen Lin asking, Yun Zheng picked up the porridge bowl and signaled to him, and then continued to eat, today should be a busy day, not only Wang Anshi is coming, but the confrontation between Wu Jie and the Liao army in Datong County should also come to an end.
The earth trembled for a while, this is the Liao people in Xijing City who are driving their heavy trebuchets, 100 catties of boulders smashed on the ground, snowflakes flying, and the earth shakes the mountains.
No matter how powerful the trebuchet is, there is no way to throw the stone a mile away, if there is such a thing in this world, what can barely be done is the three cannons in Yun Zheng's hand, but this thing is too heavy, it has been hidden by Yun Zheng in the mouth of the wild fox, and it has not been brought to Xijing, there is no one

A crawling plough can carry those things over.
