Chapter 50 Gains and Losses

readx; Xiao Dahu did the same, he was pouring water on the city wall, and then the whole city wall turned into a tall ice wall, and then he was dressed up as a fluffy ice and snow monster by the falling snowflakes, when Xiao Dahu endured the pain and sat in his soft pocket and saw that Song Jun was building a wall in the snow, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info + ◆ top + ◆ dot + ◆ small + ◆ said,

Sleeping in the wild in such weather is self-defeating, not to mention that most of the Song people are not cold-tolerant, even if the cotton clothes on their bodies are thick, they can't withstand the cold wind from the far north.

He thought that as long as ten days passed, he would be able to go outside the city to pick up the corpses of the Song people.

His pride only lasted for one day, and when he stood at the head of the city again the next day, he couldn't laugh, right in front of his eyes, behind the low ice wall, densely covered with thousands of houses made of ice and snow, and there were curling smoke coming out of the roof of each house, and he also saw the Song people stretching their waists and walking out of the low house, there was no sign of freezing at all, and they even had the leisure to install a piece of transparent ice on their ice and snow house!

Yun Zheng's house is naturally the largest, and the walls made of ice, snow and water are covered with sheepskins, and if you ignore the slight smell of fur, this room can be called luxurious.

The cool sunlight reflected the magnificent brilliance through the large ice on the roof, making the whole room appear in a dreamy color.

"Red, orange, red, green, blue, purple, seven colors of brilliance! It's a miracle! ”

"The miracle of the fart, the sunlight is divided into seven colors, but it can't be seen when it is mixed together on weekdays, and it becomes like this after being refracted by the ice, "Mozi" has long been recorded above, and people can explain even such a mysterious thing as a small hole image, and when you come here, you will have a miracle to explain all the things you don't understand, and I am ashamed to be a classmate with you!"

Yun Zheng is in a good mood today. Xiao Dahu still fell into the trap in the end, although he stuffed all his soldiers into the three cities within a hundred miles of Xijing, Yun Zheng believed that their downfall in such weather conditions was only a matter of time before it was a matter of time.

Although there was no warmth in the igloo, it was not cold at all, and Cui Da still couldn't figure out why there was a brazier lit in the room made of ice and snow. The snow and ice showed no signs of melting.

Sitting in the thick fur, eating the Yun family's unique hot pot around the brazier, although the mouth is still spewing white gas, but the body is warm, so that people have to take off the heavy fur to show pleasure.

Tumbling white mutton soup inside, tofu, gluten, dried mushrooms, woad. Radish, constantly tumbling, coupled with the Yun family's special sauerkraut, just eat a bite of tender mutton that makes people appetize and praise.

For Cui Da's hard work, this is Yun Zheng's special reward for him, and now Cui Da is sweating all over his food, and the joy of giggling is boundless.

After Su Xun came in, he took off his fur and said with a smile: "It's cold outside now, and you can freeze your ears." Although the wind is small, it drills into people's bones, and the old man has already let Han Niu. Liang Ji shortened the time for the sergeants to stand guard, and the number of them was enough, and the soldiers didn't need to work so hard.

As I saw just now, the soldiers were also eating and drinking in the house, and the dishes were not as many as here, but the large pieces of mutton seemed to be more to their liking. ”

Yun Zheng said with a smile: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve. Even cattle and sheep will have a bite to eat today, and even more so for people! ”

Su Xun said with a smile: "It's a pity that there is no Wang Jiefu's thousands of households today, and I always feel that there is something missing in the battle sentence of replacing the new peach with the old talisman." ”

Chen Lin lifted the curtain of the door, strode in and laughed, "There is no shortage, no shortage." Wang Jiefu will arrive in three days, and the third day of the Lunar New Year is a good day for His Majesty to feast on his ministers, and we also wish His Majesty eternal years together in this far north. ”

After speaking, he unceremoniously lifted Cui Fat from his seat and put it aside, sat down on his seat and laughed: "Young people don't have a little respect for the elderly, it's time for the old man to warm up." "I didn't change the chopsticks, I used the chopsticks used by Cui Da to pick up a large piece of frozen tofu and eat it happily.

Cui Da was a little unwilling, but seeing that this skinny monkey-like old guy could lift himself with one hand, it was estimated that he couldn't beat it, so he didn't care anymore, but found another pair of chopsticks to continue eating, he was in Liaoying for more than a year, and he was either mutton or milk tea all day long, and he felt that he was already covered with a fishy smell.

Yun Zheng's brows furrowed again, and now his army has formed a barrier more than three miles deep around Xijing City, but in the past three days, whether it is Datong County, Tiancheng County, or Changqing County, the situation is a little unclear.

The 5,000 cavalry led by Hu Balunyin moved slowly in such weather, and it was probably impossible to stop a total of more than 50,000 enemies in the three counties just by relying on them.

Wu Jie had already broken through to Datong County desperately, but he didn't have three days to trek to Datong County.

That's it, at least before they broke through Xijing, the enemy troops in the three counties of Datong did not dare to retreat privately, in a short time, the war could not break out, and so on until tomorrow, maybe tonight, Xiao Dahu will find that his granary is actually an empty warehouse, once such a situation appears, no matter who it is a harsh challenge.

After all, the Great Song army has been trekking in the field for two months, and the physical strength of the soldiers is estimated to have already reached a dangerous edge, which is definitely not something that can be recovered by one or two good meals.

On the one hand, he had to fight, and on the other hand, he had to build fortifications, and Yun Zheng didn't know if the physical strength of the soldiers could still hold on to the victory of the war.

"Ordered Han Niu to take the climbing plough to pick up Wang Anshi's people's team, and the soldiers must be rescued from heavy labor and concentrate on fighting."

Chen Lin smiled and beckoned to Yun Zheng: "The marshal doesn't have to worry about the soldiers, seeing that there is about to be an unprecedented victory, they are very energetic, and they are thinking about what kind of reward they should ask the court for after achieving military merits, the old man has just returned from patrolling, and the morale of the soldiers is high, as for Wang Anshi, the old man has already sent his own soldiers to pick him up with a climbing plow, and he will definitely arrive in Xijing in three days!" ”

Yun Zheng smiled and nodded, and then said to Su Xun: "Tell Lang Tan, no matter what, you have to hold on to the edge of the ice wall for five days, even if you spend some more firearms, don't attack easily, we can trap the Liao people in Xijing City, and we will win." ”

Su Xun smiled: "Why did the handsome become cautious?" Xijing City has been surrounded by us and is impenetrable, even the birds are difficult to escape, and the old man does not believe that Xiao Dahu still has the possibility of turning the tables in the current situation. ”

"It's always good to be cautious, it's like playing chess, the most important time is when the game ends, anything can happen on the battlefield, and you can never say you've won until you cut off the enemy's head."

Chen Lin stopped the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "The old man is going to write down the situation here and let Hai Dongqing take it to Yanmen Pass, and then go directly to Tokyo, is it?" ”

Yun Zheng said: "Let's write it in three days, at that time we should already be able to see the direction of the war, Xiao Dahu is not a lone army, in fact, 300,000 troops are crowded in Xijing City, even if there are no reinforcements outside, they themselves are an extremely powerful force, what we need to do is to defeat Xiao Dahu's last hope." ”

Yun Zheng opened the curtain and walked out as he spoke, the white fox fur on his body was blown by the cold wind, and he walked less than three hundred steps along the snow road dug by the soldiers to the edge of the ice wall, and now the ice wall is not tall, only two people high, and the thickness is only three feet, such an ice wall still can't withstand the attack of ballista stone shells, as long as it is attacked by multiple stone bullets in the same position, it is likely to be broken.

In order to make the ice wall strong enough, the soldiers deliberately added branches to the ice and snow, and some also opened caves under the high ice wall, and there was a house made of ice and snow directly behind it, and the eight-ox crossbow was placed here, and there was always a soldier in that room who kept a watch on the movements of Xijing City.

Datong City is located in the plain, Hanhai suddenly appeared this majestic city, for some reason, this city does not rely on any mountain range, so it is really not precipitous in terms of geographical advantages, but this city can only be placed here, if to the east to the Baishan Mountain or to the west to the Fire Mountain, it is not enough to control this vast valley, the people who built this city may think that as long as there is a city on the Gobi, it is already a precious thing, so they did not take into account his stubbornness.

After Yun Zheng rode around Datong City on a big green horse, he was sure that the encirclement of the Song army was indeed as Chen Lin said, airtight.

However, Yun Zheng saw a few Haidongqing soaring into the air, and soon disappeared into the sky, this must be to report the news, the Liao people have been able to use Haidongqing to do simple reporting work.

There was also the sound of golden drums in the city, and the Liao soldiers on the city wall also became hurried, Yun Zheng put up a pergola and glanced at the dense catapults at the head of the city, and sighed and said to Lang Tan beside him: "Be careful, Xiao Dahu already knows about the lack of food." ”

Lang Tan laughed and said, "What's the matter if you know? Although the catapult is placed at the head of the city, the distance of the attack will be farther, but we are now a mile away from Xijing City, there is no shelter here, he wants to break through, dream of it! ”

Yun Zheng smiled and dusted off the snowflakes on his sleeves and said: "It's hard to say who surrounds whom now, we surround Xiao Dahu, Datong County, Changqing County, and Tiancheng County, and these three small cities are surrounded by us, which is a messy account." ”

Lang Tan put away his smile and said, "The marshal thinks that the Liao army in those three small cities dares to attack us back and forth?" Are they getting impatient? ”

"Under the strict order, they have to do it, you must know that there are nearly 300,000 troops in Xijing City! In order to rescue these people, even if the Liao army in those three cities died, it was worth it. (To be continued.) )
