Chapter 229: Bianliang City is broken? (Ask for a commuter pass!) )

On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Pharmacist Guo arrived outside Bianliang City in Tokyo with 10,000 horse troops including Song Jiang and Yang Zhi.

But—

Song Jiang, Yang Zhi and his entourage did not immediately attack Bianliang City in Tokyo.

——Under the leadership of Guo Yaoshi, they rushed directly to Mu Huogang in the northwest of Bianliang City, Tokyo, and then set up camp here in Mu Huogang, waiting for Li Cun to lead a large army to arrive.

This Mu Huogang is actually the place where the Tiansi Prison of the Zhao and Song Dynasty is located, that is, a place where the Zhao and Song Dynasty raised horses.

At this time, there are more than 20,000 fine war horses here in Mu Huogang, and there are also mountains of grain and grass here.

The key is that Mu Huogang is surrounded by water on three sides, like a sandbar, and it is backed by Wuzepi, which can be used as a barrier, and the terrain is extremely steep, occupying this place, it is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Setting up camp here in Mutuogang is, of course, the suggestion of Pharmacist Guo.

In fact, as early as when Pharmacist Guo came to Bianliang City in Tokyo a few years ago, Pharmacist Guo had already come to Mutuogang.

At that time, Zhao Ji especially wanted to entrap Pharmacist Guo, so he sent Cai You to take Pharmacist Guo to play polo here in Mutuogang.

Guo Yaoshi was a very scheming person, and at that time, he felt that this Mu Huogang was a good place to build a camp, so he kept this matter in mind.

Now, this place, which has both geographical advantages and military supplies, has really been used by Pharmacist Guo, allowing Pharmacist Guo to make another contribution.

In the evening of the next day, Li Cun also led 30,000 elite horse troops to the city of Bianliang in Tokyo, and then went to Qingcheng in the southwestern suburbs of Bianliang City in Tokyo under the guidance of Zhao Liangsi.

There is a palace where the emperor of the Zhao and Song dynasties held a suburban sacrifice, and the environment is much better than that of Mu Huogang.

At this time, Li Cun had actually learned that Zhao Ji had fled to Shaanxi, and most of Zhao Ji's dozens of children had escaped and were scattered in Zhou County.

In this regard, Li Cun was very disappointed, and felt that he was still a step too late to catch up.

- In this case, if Li Cun knocks down the city of Bianliang in Tokyo, Zhao Ji will definitely be restored in the ancient capital of Chang'an immediately, or which of Zhao Ji's sons will become the new emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty with the support of Zhao Ji.

Let's put it this way, there was only one Zhao Gou in history, and there was one more Southern Song Dynasty.

Although it can't be compared with Li Cun, Zhao Ji is also quite capable of giving birth, a total of thirty-two sons, excluding Zhao Huan and those who are already dead, there are more than 20, plus other royal families and clans, by the way, and Zhao Kuangyin's branch, if you can't serve this Zhao family in one pot, it is not good to say how many years it will take to fight before the Zhao Song Dynasty can be completely destroyed.

In short, knowing that the Zhao family's royal family and clan had all run away, Li Cun was already a little excited about fighting Bianliang City in Tokyo.

There are some things that Cai Cheng did not say wrong.

That is, although Tokyo Bianliang City is the capital of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, it is just a city, if you can't catch the person Li Cun wants, Li Cun can only get a city that doesn't have much strategic value at most.

It can be said that at this moment, Li Cun is no longer interested in laying down Tokyo Bianliang City.

Even, Li Cun was thinking, otherwise he would withdraw at an appropriate time, so that Zhao Huan would deceive Zhao Ji and his brothers and sisters, as well as all the royal family and clan of the Zhao family, as in history, and then fight again and wipe out the Zhao family?

….

But this kind of thing Li Cun just thinks about.

If Li Cun doesn't get enough benefits, how can he explain to his subjects?

So we still have to continue to fight.

But how to fight, to what extent, then Li Cun still has to think about it.

Five days later, Zhao Li led more than 40,000 infantry troops and 50,000 reserves to serve as minfu also arrived at the city of Bianliang City in Tokyo.

- Li has a lot of dangers, such as the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou, where there are many defenders, so as not to trouble him when he goes back in the future.

Then, according to Li Cun's instructions, Zhao Li set up a number of armies on the four walls of Bianliang City in Tokyo, except for the front army and the rear army of the front guard and the rear army to be stationed in Qingcheng

The walled city is closed around the city of Bianliang in Tokyo.

- Due to the lack of troops, Zhao Li could only camp with a sparse formation, and then openly hold flags on the outskirts and go back and forth between the military villages, so that the soldiers and civilians of the Zhao and Song dynasties did not know how many men and horses they had.

For the soldiers and civilians of the Zhao and Song Dynasty who were besieging the city outside the city and standing on the city wall, most of them were afraid.

But at this time, Li Cun did not attack Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Again, this Tokyo Bianliang City is easy to fight, but what is really more difficult is other things.

For example, replenishing troops.

For example, grain and grass are heavy.

For example, retreat.

Therefore, Li Cun took Guan Sheng as the main general, and ordered Guan Sheng to lead his 10,000 horse army to the south to meet part of the Dongfu army and part of the Zhongfu army led by Cao Cheng and Wang Sheng, and then helped Cao Cheng and Wang Sheng to open up the waterway from Bianliang City in Tokyo to Huainan, so that in the future, Li Cun could dispatch troops, transport grain, grass and baggage, or return to the south in case it was difficult to return to the Yanyun area in the future.

Li Cun besieged and did not attack like this, which made Zhao Huan Junchen very bottomless.

Zhao Huan discussed with the civil and military officials of the Zhao Song Dynasty, otherwise our Great Song Dynasty sent envoys to negotiate peace?

When someone made this suggestion, it was immediately supported by many people.

Zhao Huan saw that although many people agreed to negotiate peace, but no one took the initiative to ask Ying to be the envoy of this peace, so he appointed Li Ze, a member of the Privy Council, as the chief envoy, and Zheng Wangzhi and Gao Shi as deputy envoys to Qingcheng to negotiate peace.

Before the peace talks, Xu Churen said: "Today, the thieves are in a sharp position, and the army of King Qin of the Great Song Dynasty has not been gathered, so it is impossible to disagree, but peace also needs to have a strategy and a degree, and if there is a strategy, China's momentum will be safe, otherwise there will be endless disasters, and China's safety will be in this move."

Zhao Huan and his ministers discussed, it is absolutely impossible to cede the land, if Hebei and Hedong are also ceded to the Daqian Dynasty, then the Central Plains will not be guaranteed, and the Zhao Song Dynasty will only be able to favor the corner of Anchuan and Shaanxi, but it can give the Daqian Dynasty 35 million taels of coins, and the army can also give 35 million taels of gold and silver, in addition, let Li Ze, Zheng Wangzhi, and Gao Shi bring some gold, silver, jewelry, and some wine and fruit as a gift from Zhao Huan to Li Cun.

After Li Ze, Zheng Wangzhi, and Gao Shi arrived in Qingcheng, Li Cun ordered Han Fang, Xiao Qing and Zhang Yuangong to be responsible for docking with them.

As soon as the two sides met, Han Fang said, "The conditions of my family have not changed greatly, the two families are bounded by the big river, and your family will compensate my family with 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, 10 million silk and silk, and 10,000 cattle and horses, and my family will withdraw from the army, otherwise it will destroy your capital."

….

At this time, Li Ze should have come out to argue with Han Fang, but as soon as Li Li arrived in Qingcheng, he saw that the cadres were strong and murderous, so he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything.

[In other words,At present, it is the best to read aloud and listen to books.,Change the source,.huann.install the latest version.] 】

Seeing this, Zheng Wangzhi could only take over the obligation of the chief envoy and said, "If your dynasty is determined to take the big river as the boundary, it is really a strong request, and my dynasty will never agree. Our dynasty is not militarily weak, but the new emperor succeeded to the throne for more than ten days, everything did not go well, and the inland states and cities were not prepared for war, so the army of your dynasty drove straight in. Now the situation is so far, familiar with the right and wrong and do not talk about it, only say that the new emperor of my dynasty ascended the throne, and a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, so I do not want to fight with your dynasty, and I am willing to sacrifice some coins and gold and silver in your dynasty, and the army of your dynasty will retreat. If the two dynasties can reunite as neighbors because of this, it will be enough to glorify the annals of history and be praised by future generations, and I hope that the emperor of your dynasty will collect his troops as soon as possible for the innocent people of the two dynasties."

Xiao Qing said: "Now that my family's army has arrived, it is definitely not your family that has contributed a little money to do this."

When Zheng Wang heard this, he knew that the terms of the peace negotiation expected by the two sides must be very different, but he still stubbornly said, "My emperor can allow 35 million taels of coins and 35 million taels of military silver, and this amount is not easy to come out."

Xiao Qing said, "The army has already told your family that there are 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, 10 million silk and silk, and 10,000 cattle and horses, and this number will not be changed."

When Zheng Wangzhi heard this, he said, "If the mouth of any land is big, it will be no different from the big river as the boundary, so it is difficult to discuss."

Zheng Wangzhi also said, "I must want to let the conditions be, but I have no intention of making peace. Since our dynasty was seized half of the territory by your dynasty, it was early

It is no longer what it used to be, there are only three or five places where gold and silver are produced, and there is also a quota for the annual tribute, and sometimes the places cannot be paid according to the quota for some reason, and there is a annual tribute, there must be a year, how can I have more savings? As for the horses, our dynasty does not produce them, but buys one or two thousand horses from the southwest and the west of the country every year with tea color, and there are also those who fall to death and are lame, and there is not much left. And the ploughing cattle are all in the people outside the city, and the people in the city do not farm, and there are ploughing cattle? I hope the emperor of your dynasty will understand."

Seeing that the conditions sought by the two families were so different, Han Fang went to ask Li Cun for instructions.

After listening to this, Li Cun said, "What is unobtainable on the battlefield, words are safe, let him wait and go back, and bring that Li Ye back."

During the entire process of the first negotiations between the two sides, Li Ze, as the chief envoy, was only willing to promise and did not dare to say a word.

Seeing this, many people laughed at Li Ze: "This is a woman's ear."

Li Ze, Zheng Wangzhi, Gao Shize, and Li Ye, who had come to negotiate peace, had just returned to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Zhao Li began to attack the city on Li Cun's orders.

At this time, it was already dark, and Zhao Li, according to Li Cun's instructions, arranged suspicious soldiers on all sides to beat drums, but only launched the main attack from the western city wall.

The reason why Li Cun gave such an order to Zhao was mainly because the Wu De Division, the pro-army Duwei Mansion and the Military Intelligence Department had already found out the defense intelligence of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

As soon as Li Cun looked at the names of the main generals guarding the city walls, he concluded that Liang Fangping, who was responsible for guarding the western city walls, was the weakest, so of course he had to attack from the weakest place.

After the battle between the two sides began, Xu Churen personally climbed the city wall and gave instructions: "Those who are near will be struck with thunder and wood, those who are far away will be shot with a divine arm bow, and those who are far away will be hit by bed crossbows and cannons."

….

After fighting with the Daqian Dynasty for so many years, the Song army of course also researched some firearms.

For example, the Zhentian Thunder that is improved after the Thunder Thunder, and the Sitting Cannon that is made after the Conscienceless Cannon.

However, because the ratio of gunpowder in the Zhao and Song dynasties was problematic, it was not like the Daqian Dynasty that used granular black powder.

This made the power of the firearms of the Zhao and Song dynasties much smaller, not to mention, there were all kinds of problems.

For example, the Zhentian Thunder of the Zhao Song Dynasty, because its power is not enough, the hands of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, in order to ensure that the Zhentian Thunder can be killed and injured, can only make it bigger, which makes the Zhentian Thunder not far away because it is too heavy.

There is also the sitting cannon of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

In order to pursue the huge power of the legendary "one cannon can kill and injure a large area", the caliber of the Zhao Song Dynasty's cannons was really more than three feet thick according to the fake cannons made by Li Cun at the beginning.

And in order to cooperate with such a thick cannon, the Zhao Song Dynasty could only make the explosives package one meter square.

After such a large explosive package is exploded, the power will naturally not be small, even if the gunpowder ratio used in it is problematic, it is not granular black powder.

But the problem is that the cannon has achieved this level, it must be extremely heavy, which makes it impossible to pull out to fight at all, and can only be fixed on the city wall, turning into a so-called sitting cannon.

Also, the shortcomings of the cannon without conscience are all reflected in the cannon, such as no accuracy, like easy to explode, and like its extremely slow rate of fire due to the cumbersome loading process, and it can even be said that the shortcomings of the cannon without conscience have been magnified a lot in the cannon.

In terms of accuracy, there is no hope for the shells released from the cannons except for the wrong direction.

This is also one of the reasons why the fire of the Zhao and Song dynasties has been reluctant to hand over this cannon to the Song army, and the soldiers of the Song army are also unwilling to use the cannon.

However, because the caliber of the cannon, the soldiers who used it had to put more projectiles to make it fire, and they were condescending to fight down on the city wall, which led to the problem that the range of the unconscionable cannon was not far enough to be greatly improved in the cannon.

- The longest-range range of the cannon is almost equal to that of the bed crossbow.

Xu Churen is also a scholar after all, and he has never really been on the battlefield, the key is that he doesn't know firearms at all.

Therefore, Xu Churen learned about the power of the cannon and

After firing range, he was very pleasantly surprised, and quickly pulled it from the fire to the city wall as a defensive weapon.

Many of the defenders in Tokyo's Bianliang Castle were recruits who had never been on the battlefield, and even those veterans had never used firearms, so they had no idea what kind of disaster their defensive weapons could produce.

In a nutshell.

After it got dark, Zhao Li sent troops to attack in the east, south, and north directions according to Li Cun's instructions, and then personally commanded his soldiers to attack the city in the west.

Zhao Li, according to Li Cun's favorite style of play, had built a large circle of arrow towers higher than the city wall with scaffolding on the other side of the moat a few days ago.

At this time, the battle ended, the bed crossbow, tiger squat cannon, and divine arm bow on the arrow tower immediately began to shoot at the Song army in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

….

To be honest, because the Song army in Bianliang City in Tokyo was numerous, the defense facilities were relatively perfect, and they had a large number of bed crossbows, at the beginning of the battle, the two sides did not have the firepower suppression that the cadres expected at all.

Seeing this, Zhao Li could only arrange for the death squad to take a raft to forcibly cross the moat.

The Song army fought very tenaciously, and while they were shooting at the cadres, they also used bed crossbows and divine arm bows to shoot a large number of death squads that the cadres forcibly crossed the river.

The death squads of the cadres suffered heavy casualties, but they did not retreat and continued to organize attacks.

Seeing that the Song army fought well, Xu Churen personally came to reward those wounded soldiers, and Zhao Huan also sent his attendants to praise those brave soldiers in battle at the first time, and they also brought wine, silver bowls, silk and other precious items in the palace treasury to reward those brave soldiers.

This made the soldiers of the Song army cheer thunderously and their morale was greatly boosted.

And yet—

Fighting a war is not just about morale.

What Song Jun didn't know was that Zhao Li was actually secretly crossing Chen Cang on the Ming Plank Road.

——While fighting with the Song army, Zhao Li ordered five hundred well-watered soldiers to drink spirits, and then take two explosives bags to swim across the moat in a place where the Song army could not see them, and then pile the explosives bags at the foot of the city wall.

By the time the Song army found out, two or three hundred explosive packs had already been piled up.

Under the fire of the Song soldiers, the death squads of several soldiers risked their lives to ignite the explosives bag.

"Boom!"

After a huge explosion that shook the earth, the strong city wall was blown down into a big gap.

Seeing this, the officers and men of the cadre army, who had been preparing for a long time, immediately took the raft down the river, and then forcibly crossed the river and rushed towards the gap.

On the other side, after being shocked, Xu Churen hurriedly led the reserve team to plug this gap.

After this incident, the Song army's defense was stunned.

Many officers and men seized this fighter plane and crossed the moat on rafts.

After crossing the river, the officers and men of the cadres immediately resisted the cloud ladder and attacked the city wall.

Seeing this, Liang Fangping, who was in charge of guarding the western city wall, ordered the Song soldiers to shoot when they were close to the Song army.

The people who participated in the defense of the western city wall did not understand Liang Fangping's intentions, and thought that Liang Fangping was preparing to defect to the enemy and wanted to put the cadres into the city.

As a result, thousands of people arrested Liang Fangping in the hustle and bustle, and then shouted that Liang Fangping would be sent to Kaifeng Mansion, and some people took the opportunity to spread rumors, saying that Liang Fangping's family had people from the Daqian Dynasty, which made many people secretly run down the city wall to Liang Fangping's house to loot property.

This series of chaotic events led to great chaos on the western wall.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the cadres crossed the moat in a big way and began a fierce siege of the city.

At the same time, the crossbows, divine arm bows, and tiger squat cannons on the arrow tower were fully fired, and the firepower of the Song army was finally suppressed.

In order to redeem the disadvantage, the soldiers of the Song army desperately loaded the cannon with projectiles, hoping to bombard the arrow tower of the cadre army with one shot.

But it backfired, because the projectile charge of a certain cannon was too much, causing the cannon to explode, and then the surrounding projectile

The cartridge and the giant explosive pack all set on fire.

As you can imagine, after a series of loud explosions, the city wall was almost razed to the ground, and the nearby Song troops were either killed or set on fire, jumping into the moat themselves, looking for the chance to die.

Zhao Li didn't expect such a thing to happen.

But after reacting, Zhao Li immediately organized a large army to launch a fierce attack on the gap that had been blown out and the city wall where there were almost no defenders.

All of a sudden, the morale of the officers and men of the cadres was high, because they saw the dawn of the attack on Bianliang City in Tokyo......
