If Han Zirang was asked to find another protagonist who would be paired with him to act, he would not choose Li Kui for anything.

He is a Han Chinese, although the Khitan has been very serious, but the things in the bloodline are not something that can be disrecognized if you don't recognize it. Compared with the grassland people, the biggest characteristic of the Han people is that they have many hearts.

The same is true for Korean concessions.

He has more eyes than other Khitan magnates, and he feels that he has not obtained any negotiating advantages, so he will go back in disgrace, and he will definitely be looked down upon, and even despised. This will not only not help him and Li Kui's conspiracy, but will drag down the scheme. But he also knew that it was useless to plead, and a hard-hearted person like Li Kui would definitely not agree.

Thinking about it, it can only sell miserably.

Han Zirang felt that letting Li Kui cooperate with him to play a bitter trick was undoubtedly the key to making him return to the city.

This is also the previous scene, Han Zirang was driven to the gate of Xijin Mansion, Li Kui followed behind, constantly pumping the whip, and the hand was very heavy, at least Han Zirang's fur was whipped by Li Kui, and his back was even more blurred.

This directly caused Han Zirang to hear the sound of the whip dancing in the air, and he couldn't help but tremble.

Especially with the last kick, Han Zirang felt a sweetness in his throat in the air, and at that moment, he almost thought he was going to die.

"Quick, quick!"

In the confusion, he heard someone whispering in his ears, and then his body seemed to be lifted up and hurried away.

"Woke up?"

Yelu Yanxi's face was terrified and completely unassertive, he was a prince, and when Emperor Yelu Hongji was not in the capital, he was in charge of the country and dealt with national affairs. But Yelu Yanxi's performance is so unbearable, how can people feel at ease to let Da Liao inherit him?

But for Han Zirang, this is a good thing, the more unbearable Yelu Yanxi is, the greater his chance.

"Han Qing!"

When employing people, treat people as relatives, and when they don't use them, they are rags, Yelu Yanxi's meanness and lack of kindness make Korean capital chill.

Fortunately, his face is now pale, as if he is weak in the near future, and others can't see what he thinks in his heart. He lay on the soft couch, as if struggling hard: "Your Highness, Li Kui is rude!" ”

Yelu Yanxi was impatient in his heart, he came to ask Li Kui's attitude and reaction, and had time to listen to Han Zirang's complaints. Li Kui was ruthless, he had already learned it, otherwise Li Kui would not be qualified to command the Song army to fight under the city of Nanjing in the Liao State.

"Aiqing, can you explain to Li Kui that all other conditions are agreed, that is, a woman-"

Yelu Yanxi said eagerly.

Han Zirang forced his eyes and said regretfully: "The minister's incompetence has disgraced His Majesty." ”

"Aiqing suffered, but what did Li Kui say?"

"He still wants a woman, and if he doesn't give it, he will attack the city. It's just that he proposed, not the daughter of a commoner, but a noble girl. ”

Yelu Yanxi nodded thoughtfully, Li Kui said these words under the city, but it was not easy for a noble girl to do it. Yelu Yanxi was also undecided, if this was given out, the magnates in the city would probably hate him. But they don't give it...... Forget it, you can drag it if you can.

There is a saying that the king humiliates the ministers to death, regardless of whether it is a literati or a military general, most of them are talked...... Only a few people would actually do that.

I have to say that Han Zirang is really good at acting, of course, there are reasons, he really felt like he was going to die before. He remembered that Li Kui was in the Song camp before, and smiled at him: "This handsome man is measured, and he will not kill you." ”

But Han Zirang couldn't believe that he would be beaten by Li Kui and vomit blood. If Li Kui does it...... He's gone!

You don't feel sorry for the baby at all, the more Korean capital makes you think about it, the more aggrieved you are.

all said that the bitter meat plan was suffocated, and it was a few strokes, and Han Zirang almost lost his life. But when he woke up, he found that the injuries on his body did not seem to be as serious as he had estimated. Although he vomited blood, he was far from death, and even the injury was not too serious, mainly because he was kicked by Li Kui and lost his breath and fainted, which made people feel that Han Zirang was closing the ghost gate for a while.

But Li Kui didn't plan to kill Han Derang, because he was reluctant.

What a good undercover seedling, it is all up to him to divide the Liao State.

In Li Kui's view, the use of Korean capital is very useful, and it may be very useful in the future.

The Liao State is different from the Western Xia, the territory of the Liao State is vast, more than 4,000 miles from north to south, and more than 10,000 miles from east to west.

Even if the Song army is all equipped with firearms, the output is amazing. It also faced many problems such as long journeys and supply difficulties that could not be solved.

Even in the field, the firearms of the Song army were equipped with artillery and flintlock guns, and a large number of horse rejection formations were needed, otherwise once the cavalry charge rushed into the flintlock army, the Song army would also face the doom of being slaughtered.

Therefore, the Song army needed to carry more equipment and tools, which was almost unimaginable for the pursuit of the steppe.

And the cavalry was used......

It is also the strong point of Liao.

Heavy cavalry has strong impact power, but lacks stamina, and can only be used with infantry, and cannot fight as an independent unit.

Both the Liao State and the Western Xia had a say in this, and the Tielin Army of the Liao State cooperated with the light cavalry to fight, the purpose of which was to break the defense line on both flanks. And the Iron Harrier of Western Xia also fought with the infantry. The use of cavalry in the Great Song Dynasty was not as good as that of the Western Xia and Liao, and the heavy cavalry was only used as a means to stabilize the military formation.

"Oh no, the Song army is attacking!"

Yelu Yanxi was still listening to Han Zirang's story of what he had seen and heard in the Song army, and when he heard that the Song army was attacking, he immediately rushed towards the city gate without stopping. But when he got to the street, he saw the smoke billowing from the gate of Xijin Mansion from a distance, and the flames were soaring into the sky.

At this moment, he really felt a kind of despair that was about to be in trouble.

"Where is Sun Liang?"

"The general has gone to the city gate to organize firefighting!"

But the fire grew bigger and bigger, and there was no sign of being extinguished. Approaching the city wall, Yelu Yanxi was under the protection of the guards, and when he went to the city, he saw the Song army placing small catapults outside the city, and shooting clay pots at the city wall without hurry. The pot was ignited on the catapult and fell on the top of the city, shattering, and the fierce oil in the pot was scattered, and the flames rose to the ground.

And the Song army was shouting outside the city, asking the Liao army to go out of the city to fight.

Yelu Yanxi looked at the methods used by the Song army in horror, it was impossible to fight, anyway, if you went out of the city, you would be sent to death. But the result of the destruction of the city was also very bad. At least for him.

Bang.

The wooden tower made a loud noise, and the tower surrounded by flames collapsed, and the flames soared into the sky, followed by billowing smoke and flying soot and sparks.

The city tower was burned down, which also means that the Song army only had to wait for the fire at the city gate to stop, and then they could enter the city smoothly.

The heavily garrisoned city of Nanjing will also usher in the first break of the city after the founding of the Liao State.

If this is the case, the military prestige accumulated by the Liao State for two hundred years will be destroyed in one fell swoop.

The status of Nanjing City in the Liao State was equivalent to that of Kaifeng Mansion in the Great Song Dynasty. It was the richest and most prosperous city in the entire empire. Even more important than Kaifeng Mansion.

Because compared to the sparsely populated Liao State, there is only one such big city in the whole country.

Once the Song army really broke through the city gate, the emperor's concubines would face the doom of plunder, and the huge wealth in the treasury would also be looted, and the result was obvious, someone must be responsible for the destruction of the city.

No one can afford this responsibility, but Yelu Yanxi, the imperial grandson of Liao, and His Royal Highness King Yan have this qualification.

Now, Yelu Yanxi has no way out, and ordered Zuo Xiang: "Agree to Song Jun's request!" ”

"The King's ......"

"Do you want Your Majesty's concubine to be humiliated by the Song people?"

The Liao people, who were very good at burning, killing and looting, did not dare to expect the Song army to be a gentleman, especially Li Kui's style outside the city did not look like a gentleman at all.

Outside the city.

The moment Cao Fang saw the city gate burning, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The right hand clenched the handle of the knife tightly, as long as Li Kui gave an order, he would be even a gentleman on the streets of Kaifeng Mansion and a waste in the army. will not hesitate to pull out a long knife, rush into the city gate, and be the one who has no hesitation.

Break the city and seal the king!

Although there are ancestors in his family who have been crowned kings, most of the titles of the Great Song Dynasty are not hereditary. Even if it is a hereditary title, it will be lowered to one order of succession. This led to the decline of the top magnates of the Great Song Dynasty, even if it was a royal family, after a few generations. The lack of a stable and lasting royal elite was also one of the reasons for protecting the authority of the Great Song Emperor from being challenged.

Cao Fang, who hadn't seen Li Kui's order for a long time, looked at Li Kui with strange eyes: "Dashuai, this is a great opportunity!" ”

Li Kui couldn't even look at Cao Fang, and refused: "I didn't come to the capital of Liao to attack the city. Now the ladder is still being built, and the troops are not enough to take advantage of the street battle, and entering the city is a dead end. ”

Even if the Liao army in the city was already frightened by the Song army, Li Kui would not choose to enter the city to fight.

It's one thing to be dragged back, but more importantly, the main force of the Liao army is still by Yelu Hongji's side, and it's not in the city at all.

Rindo Baozhong is experienced in combat, and is even much stronger than Yelu Hongji. However, the strength made it impossible for Rindo to be loyal to annihilate Yelu Hongji's army.

Maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, Yelu Hongji will arrive at the battlefield with the main force of the Liao army, if the Song army is still dragged by the enemy in the city at that time, I am afraid that after Yelu Hongji arrives at Nanjing City of the Liao State with the main force of the leather room army, the Song army will be crushed at the touch of a button. At that time, no matter how good the military discipline of the Feilian Army is and how good the weapons of the Praetorian Guards are, the Song Army will be killed and lose their armor.

This Song army has not been resupplied for almost a month. And this process of fighting without supplies will continue.

And the amount of ammunition consumed in the two major battles is a staggering amount.

If the Praetorian Guards ran out of ammunition, the muskets ran out of bullets, and the cannons ran out of shells and gunpowder, the Janissaries would be turned around and become the targets of the Liao cavalry. The tide of the battlefield will be turned in an instant.

Therefore, Li Kui will not care about consuming fierce fire oil that can only be used for siege, but he will not consume any ammunition used in field battles.

If a Great Song general, or Wenchen, has already attacked outside the city of Nanjing, Liao State, he will definitely not be able to control the greed in his heart and want to break the city.

But Li Kui was different, he never planned to attack the city of Nanjing in the Liao State.

Even, in his strategy, the city must be protected.

That's right, it was the Liao people who kept it, not broke it.

If people lose land, they will gain both land and people; If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost.

Li Kuike is very familiar with this strategic saying. For the Great Song Dynasty, where could a grassland war be more advantageous than a tug-of-war between cities? There is also more hope for the annihilation of the Liao army's living forces. Li Kui wanted to use the Nanjing Xijin Mansion of the Liao State as a blood mill for the Song-Liao War and squeeze out the troops of the Liao State.

Of course, such a strategy may not be agreed with by many short-sighted people.

But is Li Kui the Lord of persuasion?

With the collapse of the city gate building, the huge gap made the Liao people in the city panic all day, and soon after, Li Kui's request for food, supplies, and even women were sent out of the city.

Seeing this scene, Cao Fang's eyes straightened.

He never believed that Liaogou would agree to Li Kui's unreasonable request.

After all, such a request is no different from that of a slave. Although the generals of the Great Song Dynasty have always looked down on the barbarism of the Liao people, they have always been very jealous of the strength of the Liao army.

This is the psychological advantage of the war, but when one day, the Liao people were humiliated in front of the Song people, this sourness made the 20,000 Song troops outside the city fly quickly.

"My lord, how do you divide women?"

Cao Fang was excited and asked a stupid question.

How do women divide?

The military order in the army is that there are no women in the camp at all. This is an unstable factor that can disrupt military discipline. The moment Li Kui looked at Cao Fang with a big black face and cannibalistic eyes, he knew that he was wrong.

"Dashuai, I'm just ...... Got used to ......"

In Kaifeng Mansion, indulge in the tile and hook the fence, the rules are like this. Of course, if it is a high-end bureau and it costs a lot of money to invite the Oiran Lady, it is inevitable that the most valuable Oiran Lady will belong to the host or the most honored guest at the banquet, and the other Kabuki, whoever comes back from the end of the game will be whoever comes back that night.

In the army, it is not Li Kui who is the one who calls the shots.

But the problem is that this is not drinking flower wine in Kaifeng Mansion, but fighting.

Li Kui threatened: "If you are not afraid of violating military orders, you can give it a try." ”

"Wu Song, you take someone to take these women to that ravine in the south to take care of them."

"Let the military physician check if the food and wine have been tampered with."

"If the liquor is okay, distilled spirits stockpile."

In fact, all Li Kui needed was wine. Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, if you can prepare some spirits, it should help for the final battle.

Cao Fang had a bitter face and said secretly: "It's a pity! He found that these women of the Liao Kingdom were also good-looking. Different from the women of the Great Song Dynasty, gentle and weak, the Liao women have a kind of heroism, and after being forced out of the city, they also have a cold stubbornness on their faces. Hundreds of beautiful young women of different races made Cao Fang's heart sway, this is a new experience! Cao Fang's face was annoyed and reluctant, he hadn't eaten meat for months...... It's not fun to smell it! Especially in his heart, he secretly pondered that Li Kui was probably going to be alone.

But Li Kui raised his arms and shouted at the moment when the Liao people came to Song Jun with a woman: "Wan Sheng!" ”

20,000 people shouted in unison: "Wan Sheng!" ”

"Wan Sheng!"

The tsunami-like momentum suddenly scared the Liao people inside and outside the city. At this moment, even Yelu Yanxi, who was hiding in the city, regretted it, and he seemed to realize that he had done something stupid.

A stupid thing that made him regret it a lot.

He completely threw the psychological advantage that Song Liao had established for more than a hundred years into the mud, and at this moment, his face was gloomy.

And he didn't even dare to order his subordinates to go out of the city to save face, because he found that his courage was gone.

If the Song army does not attack the city, it is already great luck, and if they dare to go out of the city to provoke the Song army, wouldn't they be looking for death?

Back at the camp, Song Jun's face was beaming with joy, Cao Fang followed Li Kui into the tent, chased after him and asked, "Dashuai, what should I do next?" ”

"Wait!" Li Kui closed his eyes and said coldly.

"Wait?" Cao Fang didn't believe it as if he had misheard.

At this point, Li Kui no longer had to hide his strategic intentions: "Waiting for Yelu Hongji to arrive with the leather room army, our army will break its tired army with an elite division, and complete the battle in one battle." If Yelu Hongji can be captured alive, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun will be at your fingertips. If he can't be caught, as long as he is defeated, Yelu Hongji will inevitably escape from the Guanwai, the main force of the Liao army will flee, and it will not be difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to control several cities in Youzhou. Among the sixteen states of Youyun, a piece of territory can be torn off by my Great Song Dynasty. And our army has only one advantage over the leather room army, to wait for work! ”
