But Qu Duan's face couldn't be hung up. In the name of the control of the six routes, he led the Jingyuan army, with Liu Qi as his deputy, and led Liu Xi's Qin Feng army, Liu Rui's Xihe army, Zhao Zhe's Huanqing army, and recalled Wu Jue's subordinate Jingyuan 11th general in Jingzhao Mansion to gather the main force of Hexi to start a war with Western Xia.

The war was fought from summer to autumn, and the two sides won and lost each other, and the stalemate lasted until Wanyan Lou surrounded Jingzhao Mansion, and the battle with Western Xia did not stop.

"Lou Room surrounded Jingzhao Mansion? This old man picked up a big fat sheep. "Wanyan Sticky Han has returned to Datong, "Let's also go west, take Fuzhou, Linzhou, and Fengzhou, and think it is the flank." ”

"Daddy, what to do with those fat sheep in that hall?"

This time, Wanyan Sticky Han brought several Song captives from Shangjing and placed them under house arrest in Datong and the Guanzhong Ancestral Hall.

"Don't worry about them for now, they are entertained with meals every day, they used to be emperors and princesses, and they will be emperors and queens in the future, don't be too humiliated."

Wanyan Muhan and his son ordered all the soldiers and horses, and went straight to Fuzhou: "This Fuzhou can be sought, the famous generals of the Song Dynasty declare that they are not under the way of the planter, the children should be careful, and they should not underestimate the enemy." ”

"This Bozhou county order is so difficult, the small ones underestimate the enemy." Servant Sanzhong reported to Wanyan Wushu.

Wanyan Wushu went south to Huaixi this time, did not take the old road of sticky Han, but took a shortcut and went straight to Bozhou, preparing to take Bozhou, and then oppress Huaidong and force Jiangning.

But I didn't expect to be blocked by an unknown Zhizhou in Bozhou for five days.

It was nearly noon on the day, and the ditch was filled four zhang long and ten zhang wide. After finishing the Yan Wushu herald, the towering nest car commanding soldier behind him waved the flag and struck the golden gong.

The servant who was in charge of escorting the strong men to fill the trench led his subordinates to retrieve the corpses of the soldiers who died in the battle during the trench filling and retreated together.

Fu Shi Lie Zhining took a few Mouke to lift the trench filling cart, met the cannon stone bow, and rushed to the front of the trench.

Unfolded the shelf with all his hands and feet, and landed heavily on the opposite side, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The governor of the Song Dynasty at the head of the city passed some orders, and the soldiers of the city tower stirred the wheels, put down the gange board, and hung down in front of the city gate. The board is wrapped with iron leaf nails, which is thick and solid, enough to prevent the Song soldiers from clashing with the city gate.

A lieutenant held the flag and waved it a few times, and a large group of archers gathered, and the ignited rockets rose into the sky and fell densely on the frame plate of the trench filler.

The trench filling truck is drenched with water, and it can be kept safe for the time being. Fu Shi Lie Zhining shouted and shouted, and drove his subordinates to brave the fire and rain and rush through the trench. Leave two Mok behind, extinguish the rocket, and protect the shelf.

The servant scattered Zhongyi shouted, and with his own personal guards to conquer 300 people, as well as the golden soldiers and warriors who came spontaneously, rushed forward.

At this time, on the edge of the city, Su Shi Lie Zhining had already erected two cloud ladders. The ladder is not simply a ladder, there is a carriage under the folded ladder, and six wheels are placed. The carriage is completely enclosed and covered with raw cowhide. The soldiers who moved the ladder hid inside, not afraid of their bows.

Moreover, the four sides of the ladder were wrapped in confiscated quilts and felt skins, and the smoke and rockets were impenetrable and could not be lit.

The light drum advances, and the heavy drum hits. The sound of war drums in the camp became heavier, and Fu Shi Lie Zhining swung his sword to cut down the arrows that came from him, urging the soldiers to climb the ladder to the city. Two or three of his own soldiers lifted their one-man high shields and surrounded him, front and back, left and right.

Fusan Zhongyi personally took the lead, and more than a dozen monks and hundreds of households and ten masters drove their subordinates with the back of their knives, and they went up the ladder in a disorderly manner. Faced with this ant-attached scene, the magistrate of the city was not shocked and ordered gently. In the battlements of the city wall, more than a dozen rows of forked trees poked out, aimed at the ladder, and pushed hard. The soldiers who fixed the ladder under the city shouted encouragement, confronted the city in both directions, and struggled to stabilize it so that the ladder would not fall.

A dozen or so climbed fast to the middle of the ladder.

On the horse face and city tower protruding from the left and right of the city wall, the arrows of the Song Dynasty soldiers flew wildly, shooting down several golden soldiers on the ladder. The horse face is also called the hard building, the straight city wall is built here, protrudes a few meters to the outside, and after walking a few meters, it falls back again, keeping the original straight. Soldiers can stand on this raised platform, cross fire, and cover the walls.

The soldier who fell from the height, screaming, crashed into the crowd under the dense ladder. He fell to his death on the spot, his brain burst, and his flesh and blood flew everywhere. This kind of death is much more terrible than dying on flat ground. Can't stand the visual impact, a few timid, take a few steps back.

Fu Shi Lie Zhining rushed forward step by step, kicked them to the ground, threatened with a saber, and shouted angrily: "Military order, those who take a step back, behead!" ”

Fu Shi Lie Zhining selected archers, shot the horse face and the Song soldiers of the city tower on his back, and protected the ladder. Personally pick up a hitchhiker and use the iron hook on it to hook the Venerable Master.

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty didn't notice it, and they were really hooked down by him. When he fell, Jin Bing cut off his head and hung his head in public. The soldiers gathered around cheered in unison, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Seeing that the row of forked wood was eager to work, the governor of the city issued another order. Brought over a few wolf fangs. The battlements were placed, the winch was turned, and the long, thick log was lifted and smashed horizontally onto the ladder. There were big nails on the solid wood, as sharp as wolf teeth, and two or three soldiers who were about to reach the battlement were instantly nailed through, and blood flew away, pouring the soldiers below. One of the soldiers had his armor stuck in the spikes, and he couldn't break free, screaming miserably, and struck back and forth with the clap of the wolf's fangs. Gradually, it fell silent.

Soon, the ladder broke.

The servant who was clinging to the halfway waist of the ladder screamed and fell from the air. Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, Su Shi Lie Zhining and several people rushed up desperately, used their bodies as cushions, and caught him. Several golden soldiers who were cushioned directly below were stoned to death by the armor-wearing servant Sanzhongyi.

Fusan Zhongyi jumped up from the ground, not caring about the wounds on his body, and not looking at the golden soldiers who were crushed to death by him, brandishing his knife, to rush to another cloud ladder.

At this time, in the barracks outside the trench, Mingjin collected his troops.

Not only is he loyal, but he is also very unwilling. Looking back, the soldiers who remained on the trench filling truck could not extinguish the rocket, and the fire of the trench filling truck was scurrying. If you don't retreat, there is no way back. Only then did he put away the ladder and return it to the camp.

Section 170 Du'an, Hebei

Just when the land of Shenzhou was full of beacons, Zhang Yanju had already walked around Hebei East Road and returned to Cangzhou. As soon as the autumn harvest came, the grain bought on Hebei East Road was piled up in Cangzhou near the river. Wu Bailiu and others, who will be the division, have already been waiting for the transfer envoy on the threshing floor by the river.

"Transporter, can the treadmill made by the last general still be usable?"

Hebei East Road has used reciprocating cutters for this harvest, whether it is pulled by cattle or stepped on wooden wheels by manpower, the efficiency has been increased to three to five times that of previous harvesting. The wheeled harvester was casually described by Hu Yangeng, and Wu Bailiu invented it based on his profound attainments in gears and transmissions.

During the harvesting process, the collection and distribution of cattle became a major problem, and later the guardians of each eupel stepped forward and rented the nearby ploughing cattle at a flat price for the use of the eup.

The rapid increase in the number of displaced people in Hebei has led to a sharp increase in the fields opened up by Xinbaojia this year, and the large base of fields during the autumn harvest has led to the use of new tools, so that the harvested grain can no longer be threshed by a single household. Therefore, hydraulic threshers, water mills, water mills and other grain processing machinery have also been established on the banks of the Yellow River in Cangzhou.

"Look, this is a hydraulic thresher, and the rice grains pass through this comb-like baffle."

Wu Bailiu grabbed a handful of rice and stretched it out to the threshing drum, and with a crackling window, the grain fell off the straw and fell out from under the threshing machine. There was a big basket underneath, and all the grains fell into it.

Manual threshers are all on threshing, try to improve the quality of threshing, and do not particularly seek speed. It can also be done manually. But Hu Yangeng doesn't like to use manpower very much, so he is good at the top and shoots at the bottom. Wu Bailiu simply made the threshing machine hydro-electric.

As for the water mill used to smash rice grains and the water mill used to grind flour, Zhang Yancheng knew everything, and Wu Bailiu did not give a detailed introduction.

Zhang Yancheng and the others stood in the threshing floor, watching for half an hour, dozens of baskets of processed grain were transported away and stored. Zhang Yancheng said: "Will these grains be closed on a regular basis?" ”

"Exactly."

For Hebei East Road, Changping is not just a place to put grain. At present, the distribution stamps issued by the government, as well as the food stamps that will be issued soon, are actually based on the ability to cash in grain as a guarantee. As a result, the standing position has become a central bank-like institution.

At this time, following Zhang Yanju's entourage, someone from the team who came to visit stood up, saluted, and then said: "If this water mill replaces the mallet with a hammer, can it beat the iron armor?" "It turned out to be Huang Zhong, the new team leader in the armory field.

He asked this question, and everyone looked to see how Wu Bailiu answered. Wu Bailiu said: "Pacify once had a deep conversation with me, mentioning a kind of hammer that is pushed by water power and continuously struck, and replaced by a hydraulic hammer. But it had to be struck 3,000 times a quarter of an hour before it could be used to craft weapons. The appeasement only said the general form, and he didn't even draw the appearance, and at the moment he was just trying to do it slowly. ”

The principle and structure of the hydraulic hammer are not complicated, and if Hu Yangeng had a little more knowledge about ancient Rome, he would have been able to describe the general shape. But it's a pity that Hu Yangeng is a machine blind, and what he can tell Wu Bailiu is limited to "there is such a thing", and if he really wants to build it, he can only let Wu Bailiu and other engineers slowly explore.

After observing the application of various agricultural machinery in Cangzhou, Zhang Yancheng returned to Hejian that night. Zhang Xian heard that Zhang Yantang was back, and hurried over to meet him

"Military report, Western Xia out of Hengshan, Wanyan Lou room surrounded Jingzhao Mansion, Wanyan Muhan attacked Fuzhou, Wanyan Wushu attacked Bozhou. There are also rumors that Wanyan Puluhu is preparing to attack my Pinglu Road. ”

"The gold thief is attacking from all sides, what should we do? Can only sit like this in Hebei? ”

"Don't be in a hurry, if these news are to come back, it will take half a month, and it is not in a hurry at this moment."
