Chapter 151: Siege Equipment

Wei Ming Wowo said: "Before attacking the county, there must be a regular combat meeting, and when the time comes, the generals will be killed. Then lead the troops to vote. ”

Ouyang asked, "Who are you in the lord?" ”

"It's confidential, and I don't dare to disclose it. Whether it will work out or not is unknown. The Lord only let the lowly office come first to explore the way. Wei Ming Wowo said: "Since the adults are so generous, I am waiting for the good news below." Leave! ”

"Walk slowly, send the famous general."

As soon as Wei Mingwowo left, Ouyang, Liu Qi and Li Han said in unison: "There is fraud!" ”

The three of them looked at each other for a while and then laughed, Li Han first said: "The name is the original surname of the Tuoba clan of the Western Xia royal family, and the Xixia people were given the surname Li after they attached themselves to the Tang Dynasty, but over the years, some of the Tuoba clan people began to turn back to the surname of the Wei name to show ***." It's not impossible to say that the name is betrayed, but the probability is much smaller. You see, when the generals were about to bomb the camp, they would rather go back and be punished than follow the betrayal. So I feel weird. I think they borrowed the surname of the man to paralyze us. ”

Liu Qi said: "After many defections, the Western Xia army sent five hundred of the remaining 1,000 proton troops to monitor the garrison, while the garrison monitored the middle and rear troops to prevent defection. It's easy to abscond with one or two people, but it's not easy to hide from the Proton Army for such a big move as 5,000 people. How does Lord Ou feel that the other party is cheating? ”

Ouyang was ashamed and said: "I didn't think so deeply about it, I feel that the other party should at least send someone who can bargain." Let's not talk about the quotation first, it's still so refreshing...... Just like doing business in general, such people are not robbing or using counterfeit money. ”

"I didn't expect the wisdom of the Tangut people to be a level higher, and they made many discordant schemes and deceit in the previous war with the Song Dynasty. Now it's going to be the other way around. Liu Qi smiled and said: "It's just that I'm too unskilled, and there are so many flaws at a glance." ”

The next day, Zhang Bangchang asked people to explain, and left Huixian County to return to Beijing without greeting anyone. At the same time, Liu Qi's seal was also sent to the imperial court. He is in charge of the general, and it is his main responsibility to catch the traitor, and he will be much more powerful than Ouyang Shangbiao.

In the past two days, the number of Western Xia deserters who came to Huanxian County has increased a lot. Liu Qi was unusual, and suddenly said that everyone would no longer be incorporated into the Song army even if they were willing, but would be sent to Qinzhou to be transferred. After a lot of going back and forth, it's time for a second negotiation.

The Xixia people only came to Li Renli, and the two sides chatted for a long time, but they didn't get to the point, and then Li Zongli began to taste the wine brought by Ouyang, and Ouyang also accompanied him. So the day of negotiation passed.

Ten days later, that is, when the county was waiting for news from the Han Ministry, Zhang Bangchang, who returned to Tokyo, sent Ouyang, Li Han, Liu Qi and Han Shizhong all involved. The reason is simple, the crime is against the imperial pen. Violating the royal pen is a crime of violating the system. Violation of the system was a major sin in ancient China, which was equivalent to bullying the king. It is reasonable to say that these people regard the peace talks as nothing, privately detain the envoys of the other side to the peace talks, and ignore the holy decree for their own selfish interests.

However, Chen Dong, a student of the imperial court, said that the Western Xia people did not dare to negotiate with Ouyang, so they bribed Zhang Bangchang to change the generals of the peace talks and lead the troops. Everyone understands this, the Xixia people are afraid of Ouyang's money, and it is indeed difficult to negotiate with Ouyang. Liu Qi did not give the emperor a table this time, but Chen Dong, a loyal and upright person who was on the table of Dali Temple and the imperial history and Li Gang***. Sure enough, the first two departments did not make a sound at all, and Chen Dong jumped out without fear, and he also had a confession in his hand, the confession was provided by the shopkeeper of Qinzhou Yangping Qianzhuang, which proved that not long ago, someone opened a household there, using Zhang Bangchang's name, and the account was 100,000 yuan. Moreover, the guys in the store's account can prove that this person carries the Western Xia military talisman.

Zhang Bangchang shouted injustice and said that since he sneaked into the Great Song Dynasty, why did he still carry a military talisman to reveal his identity.

Chen Dong scolded, that is because it can be used to travel to and from the Western Xia border, because there is no military talisman, and he will be arrested during this period.

On the one hand, what he said is well-founded, and on the other hand, his justification is reasonable. Zhao Yu had a headache, and asked hundreds of officials, but there was no unified opinion. So in accordance with the procedure, it will be handed over to Dali Temple for trial. If they are innocent, then it can show that Ouyang and they have indeed violated the imperial pen, if they are not innocent, then it means that Ouyang They have merit.

At the meeting, Cai Jingchao asked whether he would send another envoy for peace talks.

Zhao Yu directly rejected it, and he must not let the Xixia people's discord succeed.

Zhang Bangchang only figured out one thing when he entered the prison, his biggest mistake was to fight with money. His net worth is worse than Ouyang's. But Ouyang smashed the money, everyone knew that this guy was a rich man, and his money was not smashed if it was smashed, it would be smashed. With 100,000 yuan, why didn't you think that this person would use such a method at that time?

There is no worse, only worse. The royal newspaper has never refuted the court officials, at most it is to say some lace news to earn some eyeballs. But this time it was an uncharacteristic revelation: Zhang Bangchang was suspected of being a traitor, and his participation in the front line was fighting, and he received successes from General Han, General Liu, Lord Ou and Master Li. The description is very detailed, saying that Liu Qi caught a Song army scout who colluded with the Tanguts, and the scouts inadvertently revealed that the Tanguts were afraid of the Song offensive and wanted to divide the plot. Then the Western Xia people transferred money in Qinzhou, and transferred the tickets from nearby states to Zhang Bangchang's name. Of course, the newspaper also said that the matter is still unclear, and it is not ruled out that it is possible that the Tangut people deliberately framed Zhang Bangchang with 100,000 yuan, but the newspaper is still very objective and only states the facts, of course, some of them are false facts of the interview.

said that the Tangut people framed Zhang Bangchang, this excuse is very bad, and no one knows that Zhang Bangchang has no value of framing at all. According to this inference, the charge of traitor is almost confirmed. And *** interferes with the judiciary, Dali Temple's preconceived sublimation from whether there is a problem to what is the problem of investigation.

And Zhao Yu of the palace received Li Han's secret fold, and was silent for a long time after reading it, and then sighed and stopped interfering in this matter, ignoring the ministers who sent them again, and sent someone to Li Gang to allow the transfer of logistics materials on Lizhou Road, and also approved the procurement plan for Ouyang Military Factory.

As an emperor, Zhao Yu still has at least *** consciousness. Needless to say, Song Zhengjun and Liang Wu Han Shizhong and Liu Qi were both generals who were promoted by themselves and entrusted with important tasks. The purpose of her peace talks is very simple, that is, to accept it when it is good. Now these four people have said that they can continue to fight, and she can only support it.

According to the spy report, the large-scale siege equipment of Western Xia has been put in place, including torsional ballista cars, ladder cars, gun trucks, siege vehicles, crash vehicles, and Linchong Lu buses. There are also hitchhikers, hook collisions, trains, goose falcon cars, etc., all the belongings of Western Xia have been taken out.

Originally, the defenders could exchange one for five or even ten depending on the city, but the appearance of these weapons changed this fact. Liu Qi felt the pressure. Don't underestimate these, for example, the ladder cart can rise higher than the city wall, not only overlooking the city, but also can be suppressed with bows and arrows, and can be climbed directly. The weakness of these weapons is that they are afraid of close combat, and they must be protected by soldiers, and the previous method of warfare was to use infantry to suppress equipment, that is, to start large-scale battles.

Liu Qi said: "According to the detailed information, these instruments are now assembled in the rear battalion, and with the coordination of various departments, it is expected that they will be pushed to the front battalion in three days, and then an attack will be launched." If these instruments cannot be destroyed within three days, I am afraid that the county will not be able to hold it. ”

Ouyang shook his head: "The enemy has more than 10,000 garrisons to protect it, and if you want to sneak attack or buy, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." In fact, there may not be no way to defend strongly, the artillery has a long range, and most of the equipment this time is a wooden structure, plus the road surface was messed up by General Liu, which should be able to be suppressed. ”

"We talked about this earlier. If the Western Xia army can't charge to the death, our army will definitely be able to win, but if it is equipped with these weapons and added to the decisive impact, I am afraid that the county will be in danger. Liu Qi said: "Due to the fact that the enemy is outnumbered, the morale of our defenders is not high, and we must seriously dampen the enemy's spirit again to reverse the whole situation." ”

"How?"

Liu Qi said: "Contact our Western Xia soldiers to join the enemy camp and carry explosives bags into the enemy camp to ignite ......."

"No!" Ouyang shook his head and said, "These people are just greedy for money, and it is unlikely that they are willing to take such a big risk to help us deliver explosives packages." And if the scale is small, it will not work, and if the scale is large, it will be easy to be detected by the enemy. ”

Liu Qi said with a smile: "The adults don't understand the meaning of the general, so it is natural that there are too many people, and there are not so many people who are willing to die for money." But what if only one explosives package is delivered? Or even just send a handshaker? My lord, these weapons must be coordinated by all departments, and at this time, all the generals must gather, if they can come to the center to blossom and kill a few, the attack time will definitely be postponed. Now our advantage is that all the departments in the Western Xia army have spies that we have bought. Forget it, these people are willing to risk sneaking back to the Western Xia Army for money, which shows how much these people value money. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and I believe that there are still a few people who are willing to take risks. ”

The various departments of the Western Xia Army were mixed, except for the Proton Army and the garrison troops, all of them had their own belongings. It is normal for these groups of people to mix together and not know each other, which also provides a good environment for the Song army to send and buy fine works. Ouyang shook his head: "If you want to talk about other departments, forget it, this Chinese army tent is composed of five hundred proton troops." Everyone has seen that after this proton army was captured by all of us, it was only one of the ten rebels, and its loyalty is very high, and it may not be easy to sneak in. ”

I let Hosaku catch the chapter bar and break the leg of the chapter bar. Use the car to push the chapter column to the enemy camp to invite merit. Outside the Chinese army, the proton army *** the Chinese army. Zhang Column persuaded Wei Ming to keep the whole thing, and when the generals heard that Zhang Column was captured, they must come to watch, and then ignite the explosive bag hidden in the car......"

"That chapter general turned to dust." Ouyang said resolutely: "I don't agree." ”

Liu Qi said: "My lord, this is a battlefield, and there can be no kindness of a woman." General Zhang Zhongyi will definitely not refuse ......"

"I won't agree." Ouyang Dao: "I am a prisoner, I will deny this matter, find another way, money is not a problem, how much do you need." If there is no other way, prepare to defend the city. Let Master Li Gang give priority to the delivery of gunpowder. ”
