Chapter Ninety-Four: The Siege
In recent years, Ximen Qing has widely spread secret spies in the city of Tokyo, coupled with the siege of Sanque Yi, the news transmission channel is smooth, and the news that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty want to cede land to Western Xia, Liang Shanjun immediately knew.
Ximen Qing was furious when he heard the news, pointed to the city, and scolded the corrupt Song Dynasty. Zhou Dong Zongze had not yet resigned, and they all cried loudly at this time: "Seven thousand miles of mountains and rivers, without handing over a single soldier, was gently buried in the hands of a foreign race!" With such a court, why not die? What if you don't die? ”
All the heroes gritted their teeth, and they came to Ximen Qing to ask for orders, and wanted to ride lightly to chase the Xixia mission that was scurrying around the rats, and did not send a horse to spend Yin Mountain, Yue Fei even braved and said: "The boy is willing to be the front!" ”
The twelve-year-old boy asked for an order, and although the heroes were indignant, they couldn't help laughing. Suo Chao, the pioneer of the urgency, said to Yue Fei: "Boy, your fetal hair has not faded, and the smell is just dry, and you dare to speak out before coming to the battle?" Let's go home and nurse! ”
In the laughter, Yue Fei didn't say a word, suddenly snatched two bows, dragged and folded, grabbed a big gun, jumped out of the tent and jumped on the bareback horse, circling back and forth, a gun wrapped people and immediately flew up and down, like a tiger still relying on the Lord, like a dragon wanting to go to the air, overbearing, and changing as expected. All the heroes were shocked when they saw it: "Since ancient times, heroes have come out of teenagers!" ”
After finishing his marksmanship all the way, Yue Fei dropped his gun and dismounted, and said proudly: "With such a small ability as a boy, can you still chase the enemy and serve the country?" ”
Suo Chao is a straight man, and since he is convinced of Yue Fei's ability, he stepped forward to apologize and said: "Little brother is so skilled, the world can go to it!" It's that I'm super old and coarse, and I neglected the little hero, and I hope to forgive my sins! Yue Fei returned the favor with courtesy, and the two became oblivious friends, although their necks remained unchanged.
Everyone praised Yue Fei one after another, Zhou Dong, Wu Song and Yourongyan laughed from ear to ear for a while, Ximen Qing took advantage of this time to think: "Today's situation, it is better to capture Brother Cha than to let Brother Cha go, and leave it as a disease block of tomorrow's rot and Song Dynasty." ”
So when everyone re-mentioned the idea of chasing, Ximen Qing said: "Brother Cha is a general in Western Xia, he is brave and strategic, and he may not be able to get it here." However, the covenant of betrayal was done by Zhao Song, so it is better to attack Zhao Song than to capture Brother Cha, only to break the city of Tokyo and destroy Zhao Song, and those land cession treaties are all made of papyrus! ”
When the generals heard this, their eyes lit up: "What does Brother Siquan mean......?" ”
Ximenqing gritted his teeth and said: "As soon as the proposal to cut the land comes out, it goes against the will of the people, and there will be a riot in the city - order the three armies!" Get ready to take advantage of the chaos to storm the city! ”
Sure enough, as Ximen Qing expected, there has been an uproar in the city of Tokyo. There is a group of Tai students headed by Chen Dong, gathering 10,000 people, knocking on the door, writing ten things, begging to chase Brother Cha, deposing Wang Huang, entering the virtuous ability, opening the prison, starting the old man, promoting loyalty, resting side affairs, cultivating Wende, Guangyan Road, and allowing direct advice - although the book is counted, Huizong is thrown but not used, Chen Dong and other students are on a hunger strike and died.
Cai You saw that the people were in an uproar, and he was frightened, so he gathered Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao and other important ministers to see Huizong, and said bluntly: "Now that Liangshan West Gate Qing is besieging the city, these students who are under the shadow of the imperial court do not want to repay the service, but instead form a party and gather people, confused in the city, if the rebels and thieves attack the city at this time, the inside and outside should be combined, how can Tokyo City be defended?" Long live the Judgment of my Lord! ”
Huizong spread his hands and said: "The old law of the ancestors does not sin the doctor because of his words." Although these students are making a lot of trouble, Ben Daojun is helpless! ”
Cai You and the others glanced at each other, and Wang Hao rushed out: "Long live my lord, the ministers have loyal words to play - the ancestors of the past also have the old law, and the southerners are not allowed to be the prime minister, but my lord is Shengming, and the late Taishi Cai Jing is the prime minister, and the world is greatly governed, and the voice of the people singing the praises of the official family is heard on the road; There is also the old law of the ancestors, the eunuchs are not allowed to lead the troops in advance, but my lord has a good eye, so the Taiwei Tong Guan led the troops, repeatedly broke the Western Xia, and became a dynasty with Liang Gongshi, the government was in order, and the hundred officials were in place - it can be seen that the law of the ancestors cannot be followed, and it can change at any time, which is the way of the holy king! ”
Huizong listened to it and made a Daigo empowerment: "If it weren't for Wang Aiqing's direct advice, this Daojun would still be in a dream, and he would definitely miss a big thing!" All of you are loyal ministers, and today's situation is in danger, and there must be a correct strategy! ”
Liang Shicheng came out and said: "Play the official family - those students don't go to school early or late, and they gather to read when the west gate of Liangshan is besieged. If these people who eat inside and crawl outside are not captured and asked for their comrades, when Liangshan attacks the city, there will be trouble! ”
Yang Jian also said: "Now the city of Tokyo is surrounded on three sides, and only the West is open, so the spies use the name of Qiaocai to keep coming and going, and the poison is endless. I beg my lord to suppress the traitor, Sesimon, and he will be able to destroy the eyes and ears of the thief Simon! How fortunate is the city of Tokyo! Blessed are the people of the city! ”
Huizong sighed when he heard this: "A good minister is the treasure of the country, and the king is also called!" All Aiqing's performances are all accurate, and this is intended to be done, to ensure that my Great Song Dynasty is forever! ”
In the shouts of long live from the ministers, the forbidden army quietly dispatched and surrounded several times. At the end of the order, all the forbidden army poles and sticks waved together, beating the people gathered in the square outside the gate of the noon dynasty into a red fortune, which was very important, and the birds and beasts were scattered for a while; The students who went on hunger strike were all captured alive, and none of them missed the net. When the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty heard the report, they were all very happy, so they issued an edict to send these rebellious students to Yousi, torture and plunder, and pursue the inner response in the city.
On the other hand, the west gate of Tokyo was blocked, and more Taoist priests came to open the altar to practice, tired of Ximen Qing, and then wanted to get out of the city, it was difficult to climb to the sky. This was originally the living road of the residents of the city, but now it has been sealed, and the firewood for burning and the wild vegetables for eating have been cut off, and the poor middle-class families are suffering.
At this time, the Liangshan army outside the city was also ready to attack the city. So at dawn on this day, the Liangshan army set up a trumpet cannon, and the army surrounded it in all directions and began to attack the head of Tokyo.
Ximen Qing didn't want to climb the city with ants, so the casualties would be too serious, and the gains would outweigh the losses. But now that the Emperor of the Corrupt Song Dynasty has just signed a traitorous treaty with the Western Xia, the hearts of the people in the city are shaken, and the people of Liangshan are excited, and it is the time to attack the enemy in one go. Besides, there is plenty of rice millet in Tokyo, and it is not a solution to drag it out, so let's just go first!
This time to attack the city, the direction of the west city, the south city, and the north city are all feints, only the moat river in the east of the city is shallow and narrow, and it is easier to attack, so Ximen Qing put the main attack direction here.
The first to appear was the Liangshan Longbow Team, a row of longbowmen standing in the wind, listening to the commander's order, all in unison to control the strings, and throw the arrows into the city.
The commander-in-chief of the Song army defending the city was He Guan, the envoy of the Wutai army, and He Guan also expected that the east of the city would be the direction of the main attack of the Liangshan army, so he asked thousands of people from the Janissary squad to come and help defend it. But the ordinary bow used by the archers of the Janissary Ban Zhi, although it was shot condescendingly by the city, but the arrows did not reach the Liangshan longbow team, and they all fell to the ground, and the Liangshan longbowmen used the English longbow of Ximenqing Cottage, which could reach far, and the wind, the bowstring sounded, the Praetorian Guard Ban Zhi fell without the string, and the arrow set the city like a hedgehog hair, and the Song army at the head of the city was greatly defeated.
He Guan saw that the big bow used by the rebels in Liangshan was too ruthless, piercing the shield and breaking the armor, like destroying the decay, and the defenders at the head of the city suffered heavy casualties, and they were suppressed so much that they couldn't breathe. At this time, he didn't care about killing chickens with a knife, and gave an order: "Hit the cannon!" ”
This cannon is not the other**. This cannon is a fixed catapult at the head of the city, and the stone bullets fly together, like a shower, to deal with the tactics of the sea of people who are attached to the ant-attached siege city, and it is a big killing weapon. At this time, it was used to suppress the Liangshan longbowmen, and there was really a suspicion of cutting mosquitoes with a heavy axe.
Sure enough, as soon as the artillery on the head of the city moved, Li Guanghuarong, who was in charge of commanding the bow and arrow suppression in Liangshan, ordered: "Longbowmen retreat!" The Liangshan longbow team retreated without breaking a single person, and a row of sword and shield soldiers came up.
The artillery carts in the city were excited, and they smashed the Liangshan sword and shield soldiers who were standing still and did not charge, and the stones fell like rain, and the Liangshan sword and shield men turned on their backs, and they turned out to be scarecrows.
When the second monk of Song Bingzheng was confused, the drums on the Liangshan array sounded, and the catapult of Liangshan was also pushed up, and the people in charge of the command were all the students of the Liangshan Lecture Wutang Geometry Branch, and these people knew the ballistic principle of the artillery cart they were in charge of under the guidance of Professor Lei Ling Zhenling. Just now, the scarecrow lured the enemy, and the position of the defender's artillery cart at the head of the city has been seen at a glance, and now it's time to return the color!
After the Liangshan formation, the drum sound gradually became dense, and suddenly the drum sound was silent, and the captain of the catapult in front of the formation shouted, and the stone bullets flew together and shot at the head of the city. Artillery stone on the city, nine out of ten, stone bullets are greater than the bucket, the cannons in the building turret, all collapsed, the city's head artillery is the key target, under a round, was smashed seventy-seven eighty-eight, the Song army's artillery is even more dead and wounded, although He Guan urgently ordered the city's head artillery to counterattack, but it is already more than enough and the strength is insufficient.
But when he heard a cannon sound on the Liangshan array, the longbowmen went and returned, and the arrows were like rain, and they shot again at the city. For a while, the arrows and stones were mixed, and the Song army only had the share of reciting "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable" under the female wall.
Seeing that the situation was not good, He Guan urgently ordered the defenders to set up a false fence first, and then put a chaff cloth bag on the building to cover the arrows and stones.
When the defenders at the head of the city were suppressed and couldn't raise their heads, the drums on the Liangshan array changed, arrows and stones flew one after another, and the filling carts creaked out. This filling cart is equipped with huge trees, and the wheels are placed below, which is like a house, and then it is covered with raw cowhide, and it is wrapped in iron leaves, and people are in it, pushing and walking, although the bow and arrow arrows and stones can not be injured. In this way, the festival continued, and all the vehicles that came together were transported with firewood.
When filling in the moat, first use the firewood of the big branches to throw into the moat, then pour the soil, then add the branches, and then pour the soil, just like the government exploiting the common people, layer by layer, and gradually the river of the moat is filled.
The drums on the Liangshan array changed again, and the three-bow bed crossbow captured by Gao Yu when he entered Liangshan was pushed up. The beast shot at 300 paces, and the special arrows were powerful enough to penetrate deep into the city walls, and the besieging soldiers could climb the city by stepping on the exposed shafts of the arrows. This kind of siege weapon didn't have the power to live in Liangshan, so he had to go to Tokyo City to make meritorious contributions.
I heard the sound of the bowstring in my ears, and a thick steel arrow was nailed into the city wall, and an arrow ladder suddenly grew on the steep wall.
The drums on the Liangshan array changed again, and just as the infantry army was preparing to charge bravely, suddenly a sudden change occurred! This is exactly what it is:
Merits and sins change at will, and success or failure is turned to the side. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
