Chapter 53: Siege Warfare
readx; The so-called military meeting is actually a kind of meeting in which difficulties are put on the table and then everyone works together to find a way to solve them, and this is also a method that the superior deliberately came up with in order to cover up his own incompetence and use the wisdom of others as his own.

It stands to reason that this is a very serious act of plagiarism, but it has been started since time immemorial, and it was even born at the same time as power.
There are a lot of words praising this kind of behavior, from shameless asking to brainstorming, most of them are compliments, and of course, there is a strong power overtone to it.
After Sun Jie came up with such a strange thing as skateboarding, he won Yun Zheng's heartfelt praise, and Sun Jie, who was trembling with excitement, almost didn't want to be the first to get on the skateboard, and then go to attack the city.
Sun Jie is a gunner, this is a very precious talent, he is a specialized talent who has been fed by the army with hundreds of shells, and now someone has given him the nickname -- Thunder in the sky, how can he be regarded as cannon fodder in vain under the Tongtou Pass.
The skateboard is actually very simple, that is, the wood is sawed open and then ordered into an upturned wooden row, and then the hook lock is launched to a dry place on the shore with an eight-ox crossbow, and the hook lock is tightly locked on the ground, and the soldiers on the wooden raft can pull the wooden raft to charge to the shore, although this method is not very good, but it is enough to deal with the current situation.
As long as the soldiers did not have to trek through the mud, they were able to use the performance of the best defense against crossbow arrows to the limit, which could greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers.
If such a wooden raft can be constantly close to the copper head pass. Wooden rafts can even be laid directly on top of the mud, turning the muddy ground into a solid platform.
The matter was settled. This military conference was naturally a victorious and effective military conference, in this military meeting, under the encouragement of the generals, under the guidance of the privy envoys, and under the collective wisdom of the generals from all walks of life, the craftsman Sun tempered the sharp weapon in the quagmire war - the skateboard! Sixteen pieces of silver were awarded for merit.
Knowing that this matter is very unfair to Sun Jie. Yun Zheng didn't plan to correct it. In the meeting, he had been napping, Wen Yanbo was studying the location of the mountain, and the rest of the generals were talking nonsense about what they were talking about, and it was Sun Jie who really calmed down to think about it, and then he came up with a skateboard that would be very useful in the future quagmire war.
This is purely a shining point of Sun Jie's wisdom alone, but everyone seems to have chosen to forget, if it weren't for Yun Zheng rewarding Sun Jie with sixteen copper coins at the meeting, the secretary of the army would not even mention Sun Jie's name.
As for the military merit that skateboarding will produce, it naturally belongs to the invincible general!
If a city you want to attack is too strong. It is the most stupid thing to fill with human life, but since ancient times, the most people have used this method, because human life is the most convenient and cheapest thing for the general.
Use the appropriate equipment to attack, so that it is wiser. As for the mythical things that are only available in the myth of the soldiers mentioned in the Art of War, Yun Zheng generally doesn't think about it.
There is still time, as long as the flames of war have been burning on the land of Liao, every day of burning, Liao's strength will be weakened by one point, and when both sides are using the resources of a country, the damage will be doubled.
Everything is ready, and today will be an important moment to decide the fate of Tongtouguan. The Song army has overcome all the obstacles created by Yelu Yixin in front of Yanghe and Tongtou Pass, and whether it can make an effective attack on Tongtou Pass will be known today.
Yun Zheng was woken up by the monkey standing outside the tent on the third watch, pulled his head out of the ghost woman's plump chest with difficulty, wrapped her tightly and pushed her aside with a blanket, and then got up and came to the front of the military tent and put on the armor under the service of the monkey, and when he went out, he heard the woman call herself in a very lazy voice to come back quickly......
Came to the outside of the tent and took a long breath of clear air, and his dizzy mind immediately sobered up, Yun Zheng buried his head in the cold water in order to keep himself in the best condition, and did not raise his head until he was about to suffocate, and after taking a long breath, the real person seemed to come back to life.
The soldiers, staff, soldiers, and clerks were all waiting in the big tent of the Chinese army, and as for the generals, they had already returned to their tents and prepared all the preparations before the battle.
When the food arrived, everyone was bowing their heads and munching, and the breakfast was very hearty, and everyone was trying to eat as much as possible, and God knows when the next meal would be after eating this meal.
After the meal, Yun Zheng led the Chinese army to the bank of the Yanghe River, sat cross-legged on a high wooden platform and waited for the sunrise, the long sword rested on his knees, and the army had already moved to the position.
Hai Dongqing brought the latest news, and the battle in the upper and lower reaches of the Yanghe River has begun.
Eight huge war drums lined up along the river, and the history of the backbone of the fine and naked spine waved the drumsticks at the moment of dawn, and the deafening drums suddenly echoed on the banks of the Yanghe River.
The drum was beaten to let the Liao people go to Chengguan, and also to help the artillery find the best live target, Sun Jie stood on the artillery position on the trestle bridge with great energy, smiling and waiting for the military order to open the artillery.
As soon as the drums stopped, Sun Jie viciously stabbed the red-hot iron bars into the cannon hole, the cannon roared, the trestle was shaken by the huge recoil, and the calm swamp water surface rippled layer by layer, but fortunately, the trestle was strong enough, or carried the recoil, and successfully sent the cannonball to the copper head pass.
The smoke filled the city, and broken flags and flying bricks came out of the smoke with torn human bodies, as if a vicious giant was wielding his hammer at the top of the city.
Lang Tan's deputy general Ge Tianfang was the first to jump on the skateboard with a shield, and the eight-bull crossbow behind him was smashed by the wooden mallet and the trigger, and the strong elastic force sent the thick flying claw with the rope head to the opposite open space, Ge Tianfang's assistant slowly dragged the rope attached to the skateboard back, and it couldn't be dragged after a few drags, and the flying claw on the opposite side had been firmly grasped on the ground.
In the tortoise shell made of the oars and shields, four or five big men dragged the rope with great difficulty, they did not pull back the ground on the other side, and under the reaction force, the skateboard under their feet was sliding rapidly towards the shore.
From the very beginning, the target of the artillery was the trebuchet placed by the Liao people at the head of the city, and the feather arrows had little effect on the turtle shell array, but once the large stone with a human head fell from the sky, the turtle shell would be completely smashed.
The city was filled with gunsmoke, and he couldn't see the situation there clearly, and Yun Zheng could only judge from the rotten wood that flew out whether the trebuchet had been destroyed.
Some of the planks on the wall of Tongtouguan were pushed away, revealing the arrow holes of the black holes, and with the sound of a gong, dense feathered arrows sprayed out of the arrow holes, which was not at all the dense arrow rain that the rate of fire of the bow and arrow could provide.
"Tigers are running!" After Jiang Zhe roared angrily, he looked at Wang Anshi, who was in charge of logistics, and he didn't understand how the Liao people could have such a weapon similar to a salvo rocket.
Wang Anshi looked at the Song army cowering inside the turtle shell and was undergoing an unprecedented dense rain of arrows, and said expressionlessly: "Many years ago, this weapon was a birthday gift from the Great Song Dynasty to the Liao Emperor. ”
Yun Zheng's face fell, because he saw the stone bullet flying out of the smoke, he watched as the stone bullet landed on a turtle shell, smashing the turtle shell into pieces, and then the Song army, who was dodging in panic, was shot into a hedgehog by the crossbow arrow with fireworks in an instant.
Seeing his subordinates spinning and falling into the mud, Lang Tan's face was pale, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he came to Sun Jie and roared angrily for him to speed up the firing of the artillery.
Fortunately, there were not many stone bullets flying out of the smoke of gunpowder, and many more stone bullets fell far away from the skateboard because they were fired indiscriminately.
A skateboard suddenly exploded violently, and after a loud bang, the skateboard and the eight Song soldiers on it all disappeared.
Ge Tianfang reached out and wiped the blood on his face from nowhere, and yelled and urged his subordinates, faster, faster! (To be continued.) (。 ))
