970: Rich people are terrible

Qin Wei laughed at the Liao army outside the city. But Xie Ting and Lin Xiaobei in front of them suddenly turned around and ran, running back as if there was wind under their feet, as if there was a fierce beast chasing them in the gap.

Forehead...... can let Xie Ting and Lin Xiaobei escape at the same time, Qin Wei thinks that even Ye Shuangchou can't do it, right?

"Lang Jun run, they use trebuchets again, if they don't run, they will become meat pies......" Qin Wei looked up, and saw several stones growing rapidly, the stones smashed heavily on the city, and the flying debris became a hidden weapon, and the people who were recruited all shouted and scolded.

"I'll rub" Qin Wei didn't react, and was hit in the thigh by the flying stone, but fortunately he moved subconsciously, otherwise the stone hit not the leg, but a third party...... Hiss!

Qin Wei touched the root of his thigh, and there was a hot pain, and he couldn't help but scold: "Ma Dan! What about our trebuchets? Blow them up, burn them! "Just now, because the Liao army formed a breakthrough, the trebuchet temporarily changed the direction of the attack, causing the Liao army's trebuchet to get a chance to breathe.

When they saw that the Song army was hit hard by trebuchets, the Chinese army of the Liao army cheered. Even Yelu Zongzhen, who was supervising the battle in the rear, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and said: "This time the fight is very accurate, let them make persistent efforts, and when they win the Yanmen Pass, I will have a heavy reward!" A civil official also patted the sycophants and said: "Your Majesty, if it goes on like this, the Song people will definitely not be able to hold Yanmen, and you will be able to have lunch inside today." Yelu Zongzhen nodded slightly, and said: "After breaking through the Yanmen, the army will attack immediately, and attack all the way, and then the Song people will have no danger to defend, and I will let them destroy the country!" ”

"But the Song people...... It's so rich. Although Yelu Zongzhen was ambitious and wanted to go south to hunt, he also knew that the economic strength of the Song people was too strong, so strong that they used money to fight wars.

Not to mention that the Liao State can't be compared, and there are no wars in the past dynasties to take money! He likes to hunt since he was a child, and he also likes to expand his territory, but he is not interested in those economic trades, because he is an emperor and has never been poor, so he naturally doesn't care.

Originally, this was nothing, anyway, the Da Liao military is invincible in the world today, and there is no money to rob it. But the environment around Daliao is not very good, Goryeo is a donkey dung egg, it can't be destroyed after a few beatings, and the territory there is not very attractive, and it can't be rowed with all your might.

Xixia is another ruthless character. Although Li Yuanhao's kid is also very poor, no, it should be said that he is the poorest.

But people dare to work hard! Moreover, the Western Xia never flinched in battle, dared to shoot, dared to attack, and the Liao and Song Dynasty wanted to take that territory for themselves several times, but they all let the Western Xia take it back.

It's not easy to mess with! This war between the Liao State and the Western Xia State is a temptation, if the Western Xia can be destroyed, then the next target of the Liao State is the Great Song Dynasty.

"Can you stop the country?" Originally, Yeluzong really didn't want to do it, he preferred to hunt in all directions than to fight, and then enjoy the great rivers and mountains that the Liao Emperors had fought down in the past dynasties.

It is said that there are no more than three generations of wealth, just because future generations don't want to work hard. Also, there is such a big family business waiting for you to enjoy, so that no one wants to work hard anymore, if it weren't for the Song people's rapid progress in recent years, which gave him a sense of crisis, he wouldn't have started a war at all.

What's even more terrifying is that not only the Song people are progressing, but even the Western Xia is gradually growing. On the contrary, the most powerful Liao State back then, the overlord of the land, was getting more and more backward, and they couldn't even take a small Western Xia.

Not to mention the big rich man to the south...... It's a big song. They are so rich, and their people are too smart and have too deep cultural heritage, so people are ashamed of themselves when they pair up, and they can only shake their fists in embarrassment.

Those things that can be called artifacts are like they are at their fingertips in the hands of the Song people, and they are made every once in a while, from agriculture to the military, from court reform to local development.

They even have so much money that even those Jiaozhi people are worthy of using crossbow arrays to deal with them. If you change the Liao State and have such an artifact, why should you use it on the garbage of Jiaozhi, that kind of weak army, which can be annihilated with one impact.

At that time, the courtiers also spoke in unison, laughing at the Song people for being too weak, and they didn't know how to cherish such artifacts.

But Yelu Sect really knows that everyone is not laughing at this, but jealous! The Song people are really too rich, so rich that they use money to smash beggars, and more money to robbers, and they are very ...... Or smash it with money.

But if Qin Wei heard these words, he would scoff at them, and then use those big bomb ratios in later generations to explain to him the theory of the supremacy of firepower.

Big is good, more is beautiful. The Song people felt that the Shenwei crossbow was not big enough and not beautiful enough, so they came up with fire oil bombs and new gunpowder...... After all, if it can be solved with money, why should it be filled with human life?

Only those who are poor will fight hard, and the rich will use money as a weapon, not as a property. Yelu Zongzhen was deeply depressed this time, and he felt that if he allowed the Great Song Dynasty to develop like this, it would be dangerous for the Great Liao in a few years.

So he personally led the army to come this time, just to see the quality of the Song people, and see their weapons and fighting spirit.

"Weapons are just an aid to war!" Yelu Zongzhen raised his voice, as if comforting his courtiers, and said, "Although the Song people have fire oil bombs, divine crossbows, and gunpowder...... But the warriors of Da Liao have climbed to the top of the city, which shows that the warriors of Da Liao can defeat all the so-called artifacts, and the warriors of Da Liao are artifacts! But as soon as the words fell, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, as if it was just to slap Yelu Zongzhen's words in the face.

"Not good! The trebuchet of the Song people is coming, look ......" a sharp cry came. Yelu Zong, who was cheering up his subordinates, couldn't help but be annoyed, and just as he wanted to scold the shouting soldier, he saw a batch of black dots flying towards his trebuchet array.

Oil bombs and powder canisters raged through the crowd. For a while, people turned on their backs, countless people were shouting, and the former army camp became a pot of porridge.

What's even more frightening is that the Liao people who were on fire were running around, even shouting with their comrades, and then the two were burned to death together.

The powder canister exploded, all sorts of insidious things splashed out, and a circle fell around. And the trebuchet has already been set on fire several times, and the Liao people who operate it have suffered heavy casualties.

Yeluzong was really angry, he was just boosting morale, and he just said that weapons couldn't stop the Daliao warriors, but everything in front of him gave him a slap.

The trebuchet barely projected a few stones at it, smashing it on the ramparts, causing some vibrations.

The Song army threw another wave of fire oil bombs and gunpowder canisters, this time they hit more accurately, desperately accurate, and in the explosion, those Liao people who were operating trebuchets fell to the ground one after another.

The flames spread rapidly on the wooden trebuchet, and gradually, the battlefield became like more torches.

Yelu Zong really knew that the trebuchet was hopeless, so he called his command to go down and storm the city, and the cavalry rushed to kill the front, at this moment, the Song army at the head of the city probed out one after another, and then threw things down.

In the dense explosion, the Liao army under the city was killed, and then the flames rose, and the oil fire that could not be extinguished made many humanoid torches under the city.

"It's not good, the Song people are going to fight back!" Just on the other side of the gap in the city wall, the Song people were intensively throwing gunpowder canisters, and the Liao army gathered under the city suddenly suffered a severe blow.

Two big men rushed up with a small cart, which was full of lit oil bombs, and they pushed it hard, and the cart rushed down.

The city suddenly burst into flames, and a large area of flames continued to spread, and those Liao people who were ignited suddenly screamed and began to flee in all directions.

Qin Wei stood on the side and shouted, "Come, grandpa will give you something delicious!" ”

"Oh yes, blow up those dog mongrels! Let them be arrogant! Hahaha! Cao Tong led a group of people to carry gunpowder canisters, which were continuously transported to the city, and then lit and threw them down.

Qin Wei quietly walked to Yan Shu's side and said: "Yan Xiang, we can't blindly defend the city at this moment, even if we defend Yanmen Pass, but it doesn't improve the morale of the army much......" Yan Shu nodded, although he didn't understand the battle formation, he also understood the importance of the morale of the army.

"What do you want?" Qin Wei said seriously: "I am going to take advantage of the chaos of the Liao army to lead people out and fight face-to-face with the Liao army outside the city...... He has been waiting for this opportunity, waiting for the Song army to gradually adapt to this kind of fighting.

Yan Shu didn't speak, obviously unable to make up his mind, Qin Wei continued: "The Liao army is coming, and Yelu Zong is really here in person, they must think that we are scared and dare not come forward......" Yan Shu was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Okay!" You go to the battle, and the old man will give you a sweep! ”…… Crossbow bolts were constantly fired, constantly going back and forth at a fixed distance, bringing huge casualties to the reinforcements of the Liao army.

As an emperor, human life was not even a number in the eyes of Yelu Zongzhen, and with his order, those reinforcements rushed over in the rain of arrows.

This was followed by a tragic ant-attached siege. When the city turned into a sea of fire, a general said with a miserable face: "Your Majesty, Yanmen Pass is too steep, our army is difficult to attack, and the firearms of the Song army are powerful...... "Withdraw!"

Let's fix it up and figure out a way to attack again. Yelu Zongzhen glanced at him and said lightly: "The chaotic military heart...... Kill! The two guards went over and chopped the generals with a knife, Yelu Zongzhen glanced at it and said: "This is a contest of wills, Da Liao has strong generals, and I can afford this loss." "Since a thousand years ago, the generals have found that the biggest driver of morale is money and beauty, and the grassland alien race is even more so.

"Today, I want to eat in Yanmen Pass." This is his goal, for which he can accept the heavy losses under his command, but he doesn't know what happened to the Liao army in front of him.

Gunpowder jars and oil bombs rained down from the city. Every time the Liao army rushed over, just approaching the head of the city, it was either burned into a torch or blown up, how could such a siege battle be fought?

After Song Jun passed the rusty period, he burst out with great enthusiasm and courage. The archers also dared to take the lead, and used their arrows to name those who slipped through the net.

There was no need to prepare any stones and oil pots, and the defenders who had lightened the burden were very happy, and groups of Liao troops rushed to the city, and then suffered heavy casualties and fled in embarrassment......
