"Ho ho ho ho!"
Liao Bing shouted chants and stepped outside Tongtai Pass step by step.
The elite Liao soldiers attacked the city, not like the soldiers and horses of the small tribes attached to the Liao State.
They have a formation that does not belong to the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, and they have armaments that do not lose to the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.
There is no shortage of slings, siege chisels, ladders, and locomotives.
After the Liao soldiers advanced to Tongtai Pass.
Xiao Punu, the great king of Xi Liubu, decisively ordered the siege of the city.
"Uuuuu..."
The horn sounded.
Crossbowmen and slingers among the Liao soldiers used bows and trebuchets to attack the head of Tongtaiguan city.
Under the cover of arrows and trebuchets, the shield soldiers of the Liao Kingdom began to quickly advance towards Tongtai Pass, guarding the ladders, siege chisels, and locomotives.
"put!"
Cao Wei stared at the Liao soldiers closely, waiting for the Liao soldiers to enter the battlefield with their siege chisels and locomotives.
Cao Wei gave an order.
The artillery blasted.
The deafening roar spread throughout the battlefield.
The bombed Liao soldiers who were pushing the siege chisel and bunk trucks turned their backs on their backs.
Artillery is one of the big killers on the battlefield.
Especially on the defensive side, there is artillery to help out, which is a massacre to the enemy.
In the absence of corresponding firearms to respond.
The Liao soldiers confronted the artillery, either they found a place to hide, or they bite the bullet and rushed forward, avoiding the bombing of the artillery by luck.
As soon as the offensive of the Liao soldiers took shape, they were broken up by muskets, artillery, and crossbows.
Xiao Punu, the great king of Xi Liubu, did not retreat because of this, but chose to organize his troops and continue to attack Tongtai Pass.
Within a day.
Xiao Punu, the great king of Xi Liubu, prevented the attack six times, and was repelled all six times.
The Liao soldiers suffered heavy losses.
Song Bing closed on the copper platform also suffered a lot of damage.
Although the Liao soldiers attacked six times, none of them rushed to the head of the city.
However, the arrows and catapults of the Liao soldiers caused considerable damage to the Great Song soldiers and horses closed on the copper platform.
After nightfall.
Both sides striked.
After Cao Wei and Lu Yijian patrolled the camp where the wounded were located, they returned to the city gate that was smashed by the trebuchet.
After the two sat down, they were silent.
It was quiet inside the city gate.
After a long time, Lu Yijian asked, "What does the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu mean?"
Cao Wei shook his head, "I don't know."
When Cao Wei said in the morning that there was something wrong with the Liao State's military renewal, Lu Yijian still didn't believe it, but after watching the battle for a day today, he finally believed what Cao Wei said.
Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao had the opportunity to wait until Tongtaiguan’s troops were transferred to 100,000 and attacked Tongtaiguan, but at the most critical moment, he gave up his plan and chose to follow Tongtaiguan slammed dead.
Today, it is no longer the soldiers and horses of those small tribes who are attacking the city, but the real elite Liao soldiers.
Today, the Liao soldiers attacked Tongtai Pass with great strength, and the damage was not small.
Under the killing of guns and artillery, as well as heavy crossbows, bed crossbows and other objects, the Liao soldiers fell in pieces.
When the two armies fought, there was almost no room for life for each other.
Therefore, the crossbowmen of the two armies, before the battle, will tacitly take their arrows to the dung pond to infuse them.
Anyone who is shot by an arrow that has been soaked in the dung pond will die if they don't take the arrow in time to cut the flesh.
It can be said that in the hands of crossbowmen, feces is the most primitive poison.
Therefore, the Liao soldiers who fell under the bed crossbows, heavy crossbows, and other crossbows are almost certain to die.
Needless to say the power of artillery.
It was a musket. After the shot was fired, as long as it didn't hit the fatal place, the Liaobing might still be able to save his life.
In short, there are not many Liao soldiers who died in front of Tongtai Pass today.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu gave up some of the advantages he had planned before, and chose to smash with the Song soldiers of Tongtai Pass. It was too unwise. It was not like the style of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
After Cao Wei and Lu Yijian spoke to each other, they fell into silence again.
Just when the two tried their best to guess why the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu wanted to do this.
A pawn entered the city gate.
Cao Wei and Lu Yijian frowned when they saw the pawn.
"Without a summons, who allowed you to come in? Don't you know that the place where this commander is located is like the White Tiger Festival Hall, where the trespasser died?"
Cao Wei scolded coldly.
Not only was the little pawn not afraid, but he said with a smile: "The little man is ordered to pass a piece of news to the two superiors!"
Cao Wei and Lu Yijian looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
The little pawn dared to speak like this under Cao Wei's scolding, and he must have something to rely on.
The two stared at the pawn and didn't speak, waiting for him to know his identity.
Seeing that Cao Wei stopped yelling and killing him, the young soldier continued to laugh and said, "The villain is from the Imperial City Division, and he is responsible for helping the officials inquire about some military news.
While speaking, Xiao Pawn took out a token and a seal from his arms, and handed them to Cao Wei and Lu Yijian.
After Cao Wei and Lu Yijian checked the token and seal, they frowned.
As long as it is an individual, they don't like being stared at.
The people of the Imperial City Department lurked under their noses, and they were naturally even less happy.
But the two did not reprimand.
The two of them led 300,000 soldiers and horses outside, with the emperor's eyes and ears around him, that should be right.
Zhao Zhen was okay, he didn't let his eyes and ears reveal his whereabouts.
During the Taizong and Zhenzong dynasties, the emperor's eyes and ears were divided into bright and dark.
There are spies in the dark, and the eyes and ears of eunuchs are on the bright side.
Some favored eunuchs, when in the army, would criticize military affairs.
Even sometimes, the important task of supervising the army in the army will be handed over to the eunuch.
It should be understood that the civilian supervision of the army is enough to harm people, and the eunuch's supervision of the army is even more harmful.
After Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne, many changes have been made to the supervising army system.
Now there are no eunuchs in the army to supervise the army. The generals and horses are no more than 50,000 soldiers, and they will not send important ministers to the town. Just let the counselors, clerks, push officers and other help stare at them.
The spies lurking in the army no longer act blatantly. Instead, they hide tightly one by one, and will not be exposed as a last resort.
Cao Wei stared at the pawn, and said solemnly: "What news do you want to tell this handsome?"
Cao Wei understood the imperial court's practice of sending spies to hide in the army, but it didn't mean that he was going to give the spies a good face.
Hearing what Cao Wei said, Xiao Zuo looked straight, and said in a deep voice: "The spies lurking in the Liao Kingdom sent back a message at noon today.
Hearing this, Cao Wei frowned and said: "There was a war at noon, where did he send the news back."
The little soldier said solemnly: "The news is the spies hidden in the Liao State, sent to our back, and then from behind us. In order to send the news, they were all buried in the Liao State."
When Cao Wei and Lu Yijian heard this, their expressions became solemn.
The little soldier solemnly said: "The news is only one sentence, the queen of the Liao Dynasty, Xiao Bodhisattva, is elder brother, and it is suspected that he was harmed by the concubine of Shun Sheng Yuan, Xiao Yujin."
After Cao Wei and Lu Yijian heard the news, they were stunned.
In an instant, they understood why the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu's behavior was so abnormal.
80% of them couldn't accept this incident, so in a rage, they made a irrational decision.
No matter how powerful the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was, it was difficult to calm down in the face of this matter.
Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, that was one of the loves of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
Brother Xiao Bodhisattva is Xiao Chuo's niece, and he has been with the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu since he was a child.
The relationship between the two is very deep.
Don't look at the kindness of Bodhisattva Xiao who is like a bodhisattva. After Xiao Chuo's death, only she can tame the mighty horse of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, and let him show a brief tenderness.
Now that she is dead, how could Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu be calm.
More importantly, the death of Brother Xiao Bodhisattva was actually related to Xiao Yujin.
If ordinary people killed Brother Xiao Bodhisattva and Emperor Yelu Longxu of the Liao Dynasty, they could still kill her whole family, punish her nine tribes, and avenge Brother Xiao Bodhisattva.
But it happened to be Xiao Yujin.
Xiao Yujin is not only the daughter of the descendants of the Xiao family, but also the real mother of Yelvzong, the crown prince of Liao.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu wanted to deal with Xiao Yujin, even if he ignored the Xiao family, he still had to take care of Yelv Zongzhen.
Yelv Zongzhen is still young now. If he chopped off Xiao Yujin, Yelv Zongzhen would probably hate him, which may mess up his mind and affect the inheritance of Daliao.
He does have other sons.
But the other sons are not eligible to inherit the throne.
Because their mother's surname is not Xiao.
Brother Xiao Bodhisattva and Yelv Zongzhen, one carried the feelings of the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu, and the other carried the future of the Liao Kingdom.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu probably couldn't make a choice for a while.
"Today's Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu is afraid of torment like a heart-burning fire!"
Lu Yi Jian said quietly.
Cao Wei nodded in agreement, "No wonder he chooses to smash with us. It turns out that he wants to end this war as soon as possible, and then the class will return."
Lu Yijian stared at Cao Wei and said, "What are you going to do?"
Cao Wei did not hesitate to say: "Continue to consume with him until he loses his mind. Once he loses his mind, then we will have the final say on winning or losing in this long battle."
Although Cao Wei used the pain of losing his wife to deal with others, it is somewhat immoral.
But on the battlefield, how can there be so much morality
As long as you can defeat the opponent to achieve significant results, you should use everything you can use.
This time it was Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu who first exposed the flaw and was caught and used by Cao Wei.
If Cao Wei first revealed a flaw, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu would not hesitate.
Cao Wei glanced at the pawn standing in the city gate, and said, "Do you know how the Liao Kingdom's Shunsheng Yuan concubine Xiao Yujin murdered the Liao Kingdom's queen Xiao Bodhisattva?"
Cao Wei didn't ask Xiao Yujin why he wanted to murder Brother Xiao Bodhisattva.
The disagreement between Xiao Yujin and Xiao Bodhisattva is well known in the world.
Xiao Haojin was thinking about the location of Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, and everyone knows it.
Xiao Yujin killed Brother Xiao Bodhisattva, obviously trying to replace him.
Hearing what Cao Wei said, Xiao Zu hesitated for a moment, and said frankly: "It is said to be related to Kou Jinglue..."
Cao Wei was taken aback, and said, "Kou Ji?"
The pawn nodded slowly.
Lu Yijian said in disbelief: "When did Kou Ji have such a great ability to control everything in the harem of the Liao Kingdom over thousands of miles away?"
The little soldier said: "Kou Jinglue had been to Liao, and during his mission to Liao, he helped the royal family of Liao to make some gold and silver jewelry.
Concubine Sheng Yuan of Liao Guoshun once rewarded her with thousands of good horses and asked Kou Jinglue to help her build something secretly.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu once reprimanded Xiao Yujin for a while.
This matter is not a secret in Liao.
It's just that no one knows what Xiao Xujin asked Kou Jinglue to build.
This time the Queen of Liao State was killed, it is said that he died on that thing. "
Cao Wei and Lu Yijian were shocked when they heard this.
In order to kill Kou Ji, Xixia dispatched nearly a thousand people, but did not achieve the goal.
Not only did they not kill Kou Ji, but they also angered Zhao Zhen, causing Zhao Zhen to draw the army to conquer Xixia.
On the other hand, Kou Ji, unknowingly, killed a man who was several times more noble than him.
The method is so strong that it surpasses others.
Cao Wei and Lu Yijian were shocked, but they didn't show it on their faces.
Cao Wei looked at Lu Yijian and asked, "It has been many years since Kou Ji went to Liao as an ambassador?"
Lu Yijian thought about it for a moment and said, "Three or four years..."
Without waiting for Cao Wei to speak again, Lu Yijian continued to say with emotion: "Shun Shengyuan concubine Xiao Yujin of the Liao Kingdom has long been dissatisfied with the queen of Liao Bodhisattva. Xiao Yujin wants to seize the post of Brother Xiao Bosava. Two days a day.
She could endure for three or four years before she started. It should be her limit.
This time the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's expedition was outside, which happened to be an excellent opportunity. "
Cao Wei said with emotion: "Liao Bodhisattva, the queen of Liao, is a virtuous empress. She should have died well, but she did not expect to die in the hands of a villain.
Lu Yijian squinted and laughed in a low voice: "You mean Kou Ji is a villain?"
Cao Wei glanced at Lu Yijian and said faintly: "It is possible that the thing that killed Brother Xiao Bodhisattva was made by Kou Ji, but it was Xiao Yujin who did it. It is like a knife-slayer and a knife-bearer.
The knife-bearer kills, is it because the knife-killer made the knife's fault? "
Lu Yijian laughed in a low voice and said, "I just said casually, you actually take it seriously."
Cao Wei rolled his eyes and ignored Lu Yijian.
Kou Ji, the kid, must report, that is well-known.
Can not provoke, try not to provoke.
In case you are hated by that kid, who knows if that kid will cheat you at a critical time.
It's like the previous change of the word Jiaozipu.
Therefore, the people who participated in it were more or less severely hammered by Zhao Zhen.
The Cao family, who had been warned in advance, was safe and sound, and nothing happened.
Not only did the change of Yizijiaozipu fail to lose money and lose money, but it also made a lot of money.
If Kou Ji did not remind the Cao family at that time, the Cao family rashly followed the Gao family against the court.
Maybe the fate of the Gao family now is the fate of the Cao family.
Cao Wei curled his lips and said, "Kou Ji, that kid, can be regarded as indirectly helping us a lot."
Lu Yijian sighed and said in a bad tone: "It's the kid Kou Ji again... How do I feel that this kid is about to catch up with the gods and Buddhas."
