Zhao Kuangyin said: "Since they are defeated, you can also go back to the tent to rest." ”

"Yes." The party entered the hip-hop and returned to the tent.

The others watched him go in, sweating together, and what kind of face could they say when they were dressed like this? Reckless, Zhao Pu almost beat his chest.

Zhao Kuangyin shouted again: "Clean up the battlefield." ”

Almost all of Yang Ye's men were killed, the armor that should be stripped had to be stripped off, as well as bows and arrow weapons, and the corpses had to be buried. Song Jiu couldn't help but look at the tall Taiyuan city, where the Northern Han soldiers patrolled endlessly. The war scene was brutal, and he had to go through it again.

Zhao Kuangyin also ordered the fourth battalion to strengthen vigilance, not thinking that the Northern Han Dynasty would not resist stubbornly because of repeated defeats.

The fourth battalion was gradually set up.

It was a southwest wind, and the limitations of the balloon were evident, and it could not go against the wind, but could only be lifted off in the south. However, it will play a role, and the soldiers will command with small flags waving in the hanging blue. In fact, as the balloon was raised, many soldiers in the city were depressed.

This is the powerful Song Dynasty, which not only has brave soldiers but also advanced weapons.

Then the crossbow and the tiger cannon were brought out.

Song Jiu watched carefully, improved a little, and did not change much. It's not that the craftsman doesn't have the ability to innovate, but the main thing is that he doesn't understand its principles and therefore can't come up with more correct ways to improve it. Song Jiu handed over their techniques, and if they were put in Song Jiu's hands to improve, they might have a better effect than they were now. However, Song Jiu may not have that much time. Or after a few decades, groups of students come out, and these principles are mastered by more people, and then the improvement will be very fast. But at that time, maybe more advanced weapons were developed.

But Zhao Kuangyin saw that they liked it very much.

In particular, it can be assembled, and being able to assemble means being able to transport. I can send it to various battlefields. This time, he came out with a total of 1,000 ambush crossbows and 500 tiger cannons. The number couldn't be more. It's not that the money can't keep up, but there are not so many people to operate.

The first sharp weapon of the Great Song Dynasty was launched. Countless powerful crossbows flew towards the city. Most of them missed, and once they hit, it would be miserable, and some of them went straight to the head. But it is not as good as the tiger cannon, and some large tiger cannons can throw more than a dozen stone stone projectiles. If it is hit, it will become a meat sauce. Boulders fell one by one, and the sound was like thunder.

Zhao Pu forgot that he was uncomfortable at this time, and said: "This weapon is too strong, so you must keep it secret." ”

"Zhao Xianggong. It is only the beginning, if in a few decades, the academy is developing normally, and there are many students to help me, I will definitely study some of the weapons shown in the picture for me, which are really powerful weapons. Song Jiudao. The main thing is that he does not know about weapons, including bulky artillery, and if he wants to understand, it is believed that it will not be more difficult than the steam engine. I don't understand. I had to use the money to throw it down, and this money would be a staggering amount. The other is the technique of casting. Under the leadership of himself, the steel supervisor began to cast some real casting, and the skills will gradually develop in the future. But it's going to be a long time. Still can't solve the nomads. Unless real artillery and rifles appear, but this Song Jiu doesn't have that self-confidence.

The Northern Han soldiers at the head of the city were smashed to the point of turning their heads, and there was no way to escape. Especially the difference between this kind of stone thrower is that it can also make some adjustments, if it is a small stone bullet. Can be launched into the center of the city. Zhao Kuangyin shouted: "Bomb me, bomb for three days." Shout, let the city surrender. ”

Song Jiu listened to the screams of the people in the city and shook his head silently.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at him and laughed.

This trebuchet is so powerful that it can be said to be the most powerful long-range attack weapon of its time.

One after another boulders were brought down from the Dragon Mountain and smashed into the city.

A difficult day passed in Taiyuan City, and before dawn the next day, He Jiyun rode lightly to see, saying that the Khitan division of troops came to help, and a strong army arrived first, wanting to enter Taiyuan from Shiling Pass. Shiling Pass is in Yangwu, is the gateway to the two states of the Xin Dynasty into Taiyuan, when Zhao Kuangyin's army did not arrive, he sent He Jiyun to deploy for Shiling Pass, stationed here, to prevent the Khitan from coming to help. However, there are not many troops. Zhao Kuangyin summoned He Jiyun into the camp tent and gave him a strategy.

It's really easy to be his subordinate, Zhao Da said how to fight, and then how to fight, as long as there are no big mistakes, basically there will be no failure.

And gave thousands of fine horses, and said: "Tomorrow at noon, wait for the arrival of Qingjie." ”

Song Jiu was a little stupid on the side, so he asked stupidly: "Your Majesty, Shiling Pass is nearly two hundred miles away from here, and it is the arrival of the Khitan army, how can it be reported at noon tomorrow?" ”

The time is not right, that is, He Jiyun will lead his troops to leave immediately, arrive at least at noon, prepare to prepare, and start the battle tomorrow morning, can the Khitans be defeated in the blink of an eye? The Khitan degenerated into a Northern Han soldier? Otherwise, the good news will not be delivered in time, even if it is an hour or two, it will not be delivered until the afternoon. Isn't that embarrassing?

"Song Jiu, you haven't had anything to do in the past few days anyway, so let's go with He Qing."

"Ahh

"He Qing also brought a hundred ambush crossbows on this trip, and I need your guidance." In fact, he didn't want him to guide, seeing the benevolence of Song Jiu's woman, Zhao Kuangyin intended to hone him. There are those who fight and do not die.

"Your Majesty, I don't understand military affairs."

"Are you holding back?"

"Oh, Weichen goes." Song Jiu had no choice, so he followed He Jiyun to Shiling Pass. It is slightly northeast of Taiyuan, north of Yangqu County, and south of Xinzhou City.

When Song Jiu arrived at Shiling Pass, the front-line scouts continued to deliver information, and the Khitans were coming soon, and they would arrive in the evening at most. He Jiyun looked at the intelligence, Song Jiu had nothing to do, and took Hu Daguo to see Shiling Pass, which was a small road, because of the relationship between the Khitan and the Northern Han Dynasty, there was no checkpoint here. He Jiyun came late and didn't have time to repair, so he only built a temporary defensive camp. Maybe it can be prevented, but what Zhao Da wants is to defeat.

He also looked at the lofty mountains on both sides, some of which were so steep that they could not be climbed.

He Jiyun and his son He Chengrui, as well as the general Kong Shouzheng, discussed, He Chengrui is He Menglamb, and he is also in the deed share ya, and he has many contacts with Song Jiu, and he has also drunk Song Jiu's happy wine. He is not a small official, among the generals, except for He Jiyun, no one has his official position, so He Jiyun invited Song Jiu to come over to discuss, don't look at it, let's think of a way.

Zhao Kuangyin's method is to fight, but he can't defend it, so he guards one place. If the troops are small, they will be breached, and if there are many troops, there is only one road to Shiling Pass. Therefore, first do fear of backing down. The enemy crossed the road halfway, and the cavalry fought out of the mountains and forests. Take advantage of the narrowness of the mountain road. Shengsheng took all the Khitans in half, and he couldn't take care of the end of the end, so he transferred the strongest cavalry battalion. This is the general direction, and everyone must discuss the details.

Song Jiu asked, "General He, what if you send ambush soldiers to ambush on the mountain beams on both sides of the pass?" ”

"That's the best, but if the enemy is not stupid, he will also send scouts to inspect it, and if he sees an ambush, he is afraid of being ambushed. If you don't rush to catch up, you will enter the pass slowly, and if you pursue slowly, the entire half-way ambush will fail. ”

"Not necessarily." Song Jiudao. On how to fight, I don't understand, but when it comes to how to climb the mountain, I'm afraid that few of these people can surpass him, looked around, and said, "General He." You first send scouts to patrol and expel all suspicious people. ”

"Don't worry, you can't even see a ghost shadow around."

"Then I'll take you up the mountain."

Song Jiu found some tools, and there were many steep mountains on both sides. I chose a peak, climbed it with a rope with a tool, and then lowered the rope. Let the soldiers climb up one by one, and the cavalry will not be willing to go up. But half of the men are infantry, let them go up. Then he brought some dry food, water, weapons, stones, and a bush crossbow, and a lot of green vines, and taught them how to disguise. When the Khitan people came, they covered their bodies with green vines, and the mountain peaks were steep, and the Khitan scouts couldn't see people, so they wouldn't pay attention. Could it be that the Khitan scouts dare to climb up one mountain peak after another and lift the ancient vines to inspect?

Genghis Khan's Yuanmeng scouts would not have done the same.

Pulling soldiers up one mountain peak after another, He Jiyun was overjoyed and said: "This is more certain." ”

It was dark, and the people in ambush were almost brought up together, the cavalry retreated, and Kong Shouzheng was in front, and when the Khitans came tomorrow morning, he would take his men to pretend to retreat and escape. Song Jiu, He Jiyun and thousands of horsemen were ambushed in the mountains and forests to the south.

There was nothing to say all night, the sky was about to dawn, one by one opened their eyes wide, and they did not set up tents, so they slept in the forest, but fortunately, the weather was hot, and it was not cold at night.

He Chengrui said: "Jiulang, how much money can Hezhou share this year?" ”

The soldiers around them leaned over curiously to listen.

"I don't know what to do, but it depends on the fact that there will be more deed shares in the first place, but there will not be so many deed shares last year. Yours won't be less anyway. ”

"I knew that I would have bought more deed shares at that time."

"At the beginning, I wanted you to enter the deed shares, racking your brains, you don't believe it one by one, you are okay, you entered early, and the later entry is gradually diluted, and the income will be less and less."

"How do you count those investments this year?"

"This year, those who invest in internal digestion will not raise shares externally, only to raise shares from the academy."

"Academy."

"If the academy doesn't pay it back, it won't use the money that year, and if it is given to the academy, the ministers of the court won't quarrel over the money. This release will use some donations from good households to release, but unfortunately I came to the front line, I don't know how the capital is. ”

Song Jiu said sadly, the major is not right. Isn't it fun to let him go to some battlefield?

While he was talking, the scout galloped from the south and reported: "The Khitans have begun to set off, with more than 10,000 cavalry. ”

In terms of numbers, the Song army still occupies a weak position, but if it can succeed in all two halves, then the number of people can become an advantage, and whether it can succeed depends on the following hours. But how to send the good news to Taiyuan at noon?

Song Jiu couldn't help but shudder.

"Xiao Jiu, you're not afraid of death, but you're still afraid of war?" He Jiyun said.

Song Jiu and his party in Bashu all said that he was not afraid of death, he was really not afraid of death, Song Jiu was so afraid of death, this question was not easy to answer, and said: "It has nothing to do with being afraid of death, I am afraid of the smell of blood." ”

"You play with human heads as balls, are you afraid of the smell of blood?"

What does that Lao Tzu have to do with me, I am a good citizen who grew up in peacetime. Song Jiu was silent. Hu Da and Guo Da were on the side, but they were excitedly touching Pu Dao, not knowing if they would dare to go to the battlefield after a while.

The sun gradually rose, and the mountains were covered with a layer of gold.

He Chengrui was still chatting with Song Jiu about Hezhou without saying a word, but he was also a little nervous.

After a while, a large number of Song soldiers who escaped from the front poured out, which can also be regarded as a real escape, the Khitans are cavalry, and if they escape late, they will definitely die. He Jiyun shouted: "Ready." ”

His guards raised their horns, and the war was about to begin. Song Jiu's hand holding Pu Dao broke out in a cold sweat slightly, the actual battle had nothing to do with him, but the war was about to begin, and he was still very nervous in his heart. This is not the subordinate of Quan Shixiong, but the most powerful military branch in the world. (To be continued......)
