In Youzhou City.
Except for some businessmen, most of them have sincerely invested in the Han family of Liao.
When Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty conquered the Liao Kingdom three times, they also expected to return.
But Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty conquered the Liao Kingdom three times, and all ended in disastrous defeat.
Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Heng, was even more unbearable. Not only did he dare not conquer the Liao, but he was beaten up by the Liao people and couldn't get out of it.
The people of Youzhou died of the thought of returning, and thought of themselves as a Liao people.
During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng, Liao people were really more popular than Song people.
When the Song people arrived in the Liao realm, the Liao people killed him at will, and the Song state didn't dare to let go.
When the Liao people arrived in the Song realm, if they were killed by someone, it would be a big deal.
Song Guo not only had to hand over the culprit, but also a huge amount of compensation.
It is precisely because of this that Song people arrived in the Liao realm, like a grandson.
When the Liao people arrived in the Song realm, they were like uncles.
The people of Youzhou are therefore very satisfied with their status as Liao people.
However, after Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, the situation was different again.
Zhao Zhengan overcame the Liao people, not only took the five states from the hands of the Liao people, but also forced the Liao country to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Zhen is also very domineering.
Whenever the Song people left the Song realm and were bullied outside, the Song court must come forward to seek justice for the Song people.
The people of Song Dynasty only saw that Song Dynasty killed Dali because several people were killed in Dali, but they don’t know how much Song Dynasty asked the Liao people because of the problem that the people of Song Dynasty were bullied at the border of Song and Liao Dynasty in recent years. It's fair.
If you don’t say far away, just say last year.
A veteran of the Liao Kingdom lost his money in gambling, and gave birth to a wicked heart. He colluded with a few people and went to the Song Kingdom to shoot grass valleys.
After robbing some cattle and sheep, before they had time to run, they were besieged by Song State's frontier army.
The head was chopped off and sent to Youzhou City.
Ten thousand soldiers and horsemen came to the outside of Youzhou and asked Youzhou City for justice.
The lord of Youzhou City gave out thousands of cows, plus one hundred thousand coins, to calm Song Guo's anger.
Nowadays in the Liao region, especially in the border areas, the Song talent is the uncle, and the Liao talent is the grandson.
The people of the Song State were aggrieved by the Liao people at the border, and they could find the soldiers of the Song State to support them.
The Liao people were angry with the Song people at the border and dared to go to the barracks to find the soldiers and horses to support them. They would be cut off immediately and sent to the Song people to calm down.
Song people are so tough because Song is stronger than Liao.
Since Song State is stronger than Liao State.
If you conquer the Liao Kingdom again, how can you return without success
Last time I took five states.
Do you want to get the entire Yanyun back this time
If Song Guo had won Yan Yun, what would they have to do with those people who had become obedient citizens of Liao State
Counting on the Liao people to save them, it would be better to expect Song Dynasty’s uncles to be lighter when they chop their heads.
however.
During the war, the people's minds, the superiors would not care.
The upper class only cares about the outcome of the war.
Gao Chu Gong led 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack Youzhou City. After starting, he did not stop.
Because it was only a test, Gong Chuan did not send troops to attack.
After 40,000 soldiers and horses were crushed under the city of Youzhou City.
Gao Chugong sent out the shield soldiers to lower the suspension bridge, and then sent them to protect the soldiers with gunpowder, and went straight to the gate of Youzhou City.
The rolling logs, stone stones, and gold juice prepared by the Liao soldiers on the front of the city really didn't have much to use.
Only the Liao soldiers above the city gate can use rolling logs, stone stones, and gold juice to deal with the Song soldiers who crossed the suspension bridge below.
However, the shields in the hands of Song Bing's Shield Soldiers were thick enough, and with the lock groove on the top, several shields could be put together to form a big shield.
A stone fell on the shield, and a dozen Song soldiers shared the pressure together, which did not do much harm to the Song soldiers under the shield.
Song Bing rushed to the gate of the city gate, set the gunpowder bag, and ran after it was lit.
There was a boom.
The entire city wall trembled.
Gao Chu Gong led his soldiers and horses to attack four times. After four times, there was a loud bang.
"General! The city gate exploded!"
The soldiers who went to set the gunpowder shouted loudly.
After waiting for the clouds and mist to clear away, Gong Gaozhang took a closer look, and a big hole had really been blown up in the city gate.
Christine is a bit dazed.
The order Cao Wei gave him was a feint, a temptation, but he didn't really break Youzhou City. Now the gate of Youzhou City has been blasted open, how to fight
"Quick! Send someone to tell Cao Shuai about this!"
Gong Gong immediately sent someone to tell Cao Wei about the matter.
Cao Wei was in the midst of a small spirit, and the messenger rushed out of the Chinese army's big tent, and woke him up.
He summoned the messenger soldiers into the military tent, and after careful questioning, he learned that Gao Chu Gong had blasted a big hole in the gate of Youzhou City.
Cao Wei froze for a long time after learning about it.
I thought that to conquer Youzhou City, you would need to wait for the arrival of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, but I didn't expect to break the gate of Youzhou City so easily.
"The order continues, and the whole army attacked and broke Youzhou City!"
Cao Wei carefully considered the gains and losses of occupying Youzhou City. After drawing a favorable conclusion, Cao Wei hardly hesitated and gave the order to siege the city.
For a time.
Three hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and horses rushed out of the barracks like a tide and slew towards Youzhou City.
When he heard the war drums of the whole army sounded in the barracks, Gong Gong knew what Cao Wei was thinking. Before the soldiers arrived, Gong Gong shouted loudly.
"Get in! Break Youzhou!"
Gao Chu Gong took the lead and slew to the gate of Youzhou City.
As soon as they crossed the suspension bridge, they collided with the Liao soldiers who came to stop them.
Gong Gao was not polite, so that his soldiers gathered a batch of grenades and threw them into the middle of the Liao soldiers in one breath.
The Liao Bing who was blocking the high place Gong was blown up by a man.
Respectfully straddling the horse from a high place, stepping on the corpse of the Liao people, slammed into Youzhou City.
Then there was a long street battle.
There are a lot of Liao soldiers in Youzhou City.
After Gao Chu Gong rushed into Youzhou City, he was stopped.
Gong Gao led the soldiers and horses to rush and kill hard, and the corpse in front of the gate of the city gate increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Not long after the high place Gong rushed to kill, the other two gates of Youzhou City also sounded explosions.
Three hundred and ninety thousand soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty flooded into Youzhou City like a tide.
Youzhou City is broken.
The lord of Youzhou City led some soldiers and horses to retreat, and finally led a group of soldiers and horses to escape from Youzhou City along the north gate.
After Gao Chu Gong rushed away from the Liao soldiers to stop him, he lashed out in Youzhou City.
Anyone who doesn't surrender, and whoever stubbornly resists, becomes the soul of his sword.
Cao Wei entered Youzhou City only three hours after the end of the war.
There are not many traces of war on the wall outside Youzhou City.
But in Youzhou City, it became a blood city.
Cao Wei ordered people to clean up the corpses in Youzhou City, and at the same time ordered people to call Gao Chu Gong.
"How to break the city?"
Gao Chugong said bluntly: "Blasted."
Cao Wei asked again, "How did it explode?"
Respect from the heights can't be said, only the soldiers who bomb the gates can be called.
After seeing Cao Wei, the soldier pleaded guilty without waiting for Cao Wei to ask: "The humble post is guilty, and the humble post does not listen to the general's orders. He has changed the weight of the gunpowder privately, and implore the military to punish him."
Cao Wei seemed to have not heard him, staring at him and asking, "How much did you use?"
The soldier hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "Twenty catties..."
Cao Wei nodded slowly, and then asked, "Twenty catties can blow up the city gate?"
The soldier shook his head and said, "Twenty catties are a little overhanging, and thirty catties can definitely explode."
Cao Wei turned his head and said to the people behind him: "Write down this number. It will be useful for breaking the city gate in the future."
Since enough gunpowder can open the gates, there is no reason to use siege chisel.
As long as the gunpowder is full, the gates in Liao are not like paper.
In addition to playing field battles with him, the Liao Kingdom seemed to have no other choice.
"Go down..."
"You... You don't punish humble jobs?"
Cao Wei said indifferently: "It is a crime or merit. The judge in the own army will ask you to calculate it."
After Cao Wei sent the soldier who bombed the gate of the city, he respectfully instructed the high place: "Send people to search the entire city of Youzhou City, and capture all those who are hostile to my Da Song in the city, and then ask the officer. Home, see where the distribution goes.
Send someone to re-arm Youzhou City.
Then cleared out the palace of Liao Emperor Yelulongxu in Youzhou City, and cleared all the people in the nearby streets.
Then ask the official to come over.
Send someone to send a jug of wine to the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, saying that Cao Wei has arranged a banquet in Youzhou City and invited him to the banquet. "
Gao Chu said respectfully and immediately followed Cao Wei's instructions.
After Cao Wei walked away from a high place, people helped him into the City Lord's Mansion in Youzhou City.
The city lord of Youzhou City walked in a hurry, and he didn't bring many things, so Ji concubine and children almost all stayed at the mansion.
Cao Wei ordered people to take them to another place, vacating the city lord's mansion.
Sitting on the seat covered with tiger skin in the city lord's mansion, Cao Wei fell into deep thought alone.
Cao Wei has been in contact with firearms a long time ago, and how to use firearms and artillery, he also roughly figured out a set of art of war.
It's just that there are obvious improvements in the art of war.
A sufficient amount of gunpowder could break through the city gate, he had never seen it before, nor had he noticed it.
Now that a sufficient amount of gunpowder blasted open the gates of Youzhou City, and the victory of the battle for Youzhou City was established all at once, Cao Wei felt that he had to study it more and make good use of the gunpowder.
"Sufficient gunpowder can break through the city gate, is it possible that enough gunpowder can also blow up the city wall?"
If there is enough gunpowder to blow up the city wall, what is the meaning of the city wall in the future on the battlefield
"The old man has always known that the appearance of muskets and artillery can change the pattern on the battlefield. It's just that the change in this pattern is obviously a bit big. If you want to adapt, it may take a long time.
Fortunately, the guns and artillery were from the hands of my Da Song. If they appeared in the hands of others, then my Da Song would be in big trouble. "
Just when Cao Wei was thinking about how to reasonably apply artillery, musket, and gunpowder on the battlefield.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu led half a million soldiers and horses, and Haohao appeared in Shunzhou.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu had just entered Shunzhou to rest, and rushed into Shunzhou as soon as he rode fast.
The news that Song soldiers stormed Youzhou City appeared on the desk of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu lay on the side of the dragon with a pale face, his figure was very thin, completely different from the burly body when Kou Ji first saw him, and his voice was far less loud than when Kou Ji first saw him. When I was very young and weak.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu now feels like a candle that is about to burn out. The candle is constantly swaying and seems to be extinguished at any time.
The state of his whole person seems to be three points weaker than Cao Wei.
Zhao Zhen received news that Yelu Longxu, the emperor of the Liao Dynasty, was dying.
The news is not fake.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu is indeed dying, and now he can only support it with one breath.
If the Song Dynasty had not captured the five states of Yanyun, and if the Liao Kingdom had not bowed to the Song Dynasty, perhaps the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu had already passed away in peace.
He is still alive now, just to defeat the Song State, to push the Liao State to the throne of the overlord of the Four Seas again, and to leave a powerful Jiangshan Sheji for his son.
"Your Majesty, the Song people have already come to Youzhou and are attacking Youzhou City."
The Prime Minister of the Northern Government of Liao Dynasty, Xiao Chanbu, bowed his waist and said softly to the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu coughed twice, and said weakly, "I see..."
Xiao Chanbu didn't say much, and stood on the side.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu raised his hand and patted his dragon bed.
The Crown Prince Yelvzong of the Liao Kingdom really appeared in front of the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu dragon bed.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's southern expedition, in order to avoid the woman Xiao Yujin messing around in the capital, specially brought Yelv Zongzhen.
After his beloved Queen Xiao Bodhisattva was killed by the woman Xiao Yujin, he did not deal with the woman Xiao Yujin for his son.
As a result, Xiao Xujin became even more domineering.
In recent days, the woman Xiao Yujin learned that he was about to die, she actually gave birth to the thoughts that made him abolish Yelv Zongzhen, Libo was only for the crown prince, and Bo was only Yelv Zongzhen’s younger brother Yelv Chongyuan.
Already, a little cowardly, and young, if he becomes the emperor.
Isn't Daliao going to fall into the hands of that woman
Although Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu respected his mother Xiao Yanyan, he was very resistant to women's governance in his heart.
When Xiao Yanyan was alive, he was almost a mascot.
He himself had experienced the feeling of being controlled by others, and he was unwilling to let his son experience that feeling again.
In his opinion, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom should stand on top of tens of thousands of people. On the top of the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, there should be no other things except the longevity heaven.
In order to prevent Xiao Yujin from doing crazy things, Yelu Longxu, the emperor of the Liao Dynasty, had to bring Yelv Zongzhen.
Not only that, he also brought a group of his confidants.
Don't leave Xiao Yujin's crazy woman any chance.
After Yeluzongzhen was in front of Yelulongxu's bed, Yelulongxu said lovingly: "Zongzhen, Song people are attacking Youzhou City, what do you think?"
Yelvzong really is no longer the little kid he used to be, he is already fifteen years old.
Facing the father's question, he thought for a while and said: "We should send troops and horses to help."
Yelu Longxu chuckled softly, "Why do you want to help?"
Yeluzong said solemnly: "The Song State sent nearly 400,000 soldiers and horses to attack Youzhou City. The 80,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou City may not be Song State's opponents. Therefore, the father should send troops and horses to help prevent Youzhou City from falling down. Song people's hands.
Youzhou City is one of the five capitals of the Liao Dynasty. It is of great significance to the Sinicization of the Liao Dynasty. If it is lost, it will have a great impact on the Liao Dynasty. "
Yelu Longxu smiled and nodded and said: "Then if I tell you, even if I don't send people to help, the Song people can't take Youzhou City?"
Yelvzong really frowned, his face thinking.
Yelu Longxu explained with a smile: "The Song State claimed that the leader of the soldiers was Gao Chu Gong. But I saw the shadow of Cao Wei from the Song people's formation.
Gao Chugong is too conservative. If he is a leader, he will definitely not set the battlefield outside of Youzhou City, let alone send troops and horses to capture Dading Mansion and Feihukou.
Only Cao Wei would set the battlefield outside the Song Dynasty.
And only Cao Wei will first get the battlefield for the soldiers who can get it before the start of the war.
Before the battle between Daliao and Song Dynasty, Cao Wei sent people to break the Tongtai Pass, which is an example. "
Yeluzong really pondered and said: "My son remembers that Cao Wei has not missed a defeat since his official career, and he is very cautious in using troops.
Yelu Longxu nodded and said: "Yes, he sent people to seize Dading Mansion and Feihukou. It seems to be a strange soldier, but in fact, it is to solve the worries of the future. Dadingfu and Feihukou are all my Da Liao soldiers and horses. The place to go south.
If he did not send soldiers to occupy these two places, he would dare not fight with my Daliao soldiers outside Youzhou City.
He has now sent nearly 400,000 to outside of Youzhou City, and he should have selected Youzhou City as the final battlefield.
So it will not change easily.
So he sent someone to attack Youzhou City, at best it was just a feint. "
Yelvzong really heard the words, thought for a while, and then said: "Why did he choose the battlefield outside Youzhou City? Why not choose Shunzhou or other places?"
Yelu Longxu smiled and said: "Outside Youzhou City, there are mountains and waters, which are more beneficial to the infantry of the Song Dynasty, but not to the charge of my Daliao cavalry. I did not choose Shunzhou because there is a big river in Shunzhou.
The fire and water are merciless, and the forest will attack by fire, and the water will attack by water.
If I attacked him through the river, it would not be enough to see how many soldiers and horses he led.
Under the natural disaster, how many soldiers and horses are flying ashes.
He is cautious, and naturally it is impossible to treat Shunzhou as a battlefield. "
Yeluzong really listened to Yelu Longxu's analysis, nodded seriously, and continued to ask: "What if Kou Ji led someone to attack Youzhou City?"
Yelv Zongzhen mentioned Ko Ji, and the smile on Yelu Longxu's face suddenly reduced a lot.
"Kou Ji, I can't say it, it's not easy to say. When I first saw him, he was still a kid not much older than you. I know he is talented, but I don't care about him very much.
If I know, he has the patience to revive the rivers and mountains and seek the world.
Whatever I said, I will keep him in my Daliao.
Whether it is dead or alive. "
Yelv Longxu and Yelv Zongzhen have said similar things several times, and Yelv Zongzhen is tired of hearing it.
He stared at Yelulong Xu without a word.
Yelulongxu guessed what he was thinking, and sighed slightly: "If Kou Ji leads the army to attack, I will turn the offensive to the defensive, and wait for work."
Yelvzong really looked stunned, "Why?"
Yelulongxu said with emotion: "Because of the dazzling achievements Kou Ji has played so far. Most of them are field battles, and most of them are because he set up the battlefield and waited for the enemy to attack.
Victory in Sichuan broke tens of thousands, and the Yellow River crossing tens of thousands broke 100,000, both are so. "
Yelvzong really said with emotion: "I really want to meet such a man."
Yelulongxu laughed and said: "You're afraid you won't see it... In his capacity, it is absolutely impossible to travel as an envoy again."
Speaking of this, Yelu Longxu stared at Yeluzong Zhendao: "If you really see him one day, then don't hesitate, you must kill him as soon as possible."
Yelvzong really asked: "Why? Maybe he will be used by his ministers?"
Yelu Longxu shook his head, "As long as anyone who can sit on a high position in the Song Dynasty Hall, no one will take refuge in my Daliao. Your grandmother, I, did not fail to give those Song people high-ranking officials who took refuge in my Daliao. Attract those who are really capable of Song people."
"The story of daughters buying horse bones?!"
Yeluzong really said.
Yelu Longxu nodded and said: "Unfortunately, your grandmother and I bought a bunch of horse bones, but they were not able to attract a few thousand miles. Liao.
Therefore, Kou Ji will never use it for you.
So you put out this mind as early as possible. "
Yelvzong really sighed and said, "It's a pity..."
Yelu Longxu smiled and said: "Don't always worry about the talents of the Song Dynasty, you have to dig out the talents of my Daliao, I also have a lot of talents available in Daliao."
Yelvzong nodded seriously.
Soon.
Yeluzong really asked, "Father, do you still send someone to help Youzhou City?"
Yelu Longxu smiled and said: "Pie, why not send it. You said that you should send soldiers and horses to help, then I will send soldiers and horses to help me, by the way, let them help me clean up the palace in Youzhou City, I passed by and lived. It’s also comfortable."
Yelvzong really heard the words and smiled brightly.
Yelu Longxu raised his hand, stroked Yelv Zongzhen's head, smiled and said, "Xiao Yanliu, you led fifty thousand soldiers and horses to Youzhou City for assistance."
A big man with a beard standing behind the prime minister of the North House, Xiao Chanbu, walked out of the queue. After a salute, he left Yelu Longxu's bowl.
After Xiao Yan stayed out, Yelu Longxu put down the hand that stroked Yeluzongzhen's head, and asked, "Have I sent out the people to retake Dading Mansion and Feihukou?"
Xiao Chanbu said: "Return to your Majesty, the soldiers and horses led by the bones will arrive at Dading Mansion in three days. The soldiers and horses led by Xie Jianu should have arrived at the mouth of the flying fox."
Yelulongxu nodded and said, "Where is Southwest Road?"
Xiao Chanbu Shen said: "Zhang Jian has led the Wuding Army and arrived on the Southwest Road. Wu Shuda led the Guangde Army and arrived on the Southwest Road."
Yelu Longxu nodded and said, "Once my side starts a war with Cao Wei, you will tell Zhang Jian and Wu Shuda to attack the northern border of Song State with all their strength."
Xiao Chanbu nodded solemnly. After nodding, he hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Jian and Wu Shuda are at odds. Why did you send them to one place, Your Majesty."
Yelu Longxu said calmly: "If they don't agree, they will fight for success. They attack the Song from the North, and the faster it is, the faster it will benefit us. If they don't fight or grab, then why should I send them to the North?"
