Chapter 983: Siege
In the process of expansion, the Liao State incorporated many foreigners, as can be seen from the size of their army.
In terms of the official system, the Liao State was divided into north and south, each of which was different.
Needless to say, the northern officials are the system and people of the Liao State itself.
And the southern official refers to Yanyun and other places.
The population of these places was predominantly Han Chinese, and because the rule of the Liao State was too brutal, there were many uprisings in the past.
Later, the Liao people found that it was not a matter to go on like this, so they changed the toughness to Huairou and established the southern official system.
The so-called southern officials, the official system continued the former Tang Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, what Zhongshu Province, Menxia Province...... Governor of Political Affairs...... Everything.
The north is ruled in the Liao state's own way, and most of the Han people in the south are farming for a living, so they use the previous system of the Han children to rule, which is the Great Liao version of one country and two zhi.
However, the status of the Han people is still inferior, for example, the Liao people can be officials in the south, while the Han people cannot go to the north to be officials, so they can only nest in the south.
Moreover, the southern officials are naturally shorter than the northern officials, and some of the warriors like the Great Song Dynasty are naturally shorter than the literati.
This kind of discrimination is more obvious, in order to appease the Han people, the Liao people stipulated that when the Liao people were officials in the south, they must also wear Han clothes, and as long as they were officials in the south, whether they were Han or Liao, they were all called Han officials.
This Han official is the southern official, and he looks extremely spiritual.
"If you look at the history books, you have never seen the messenger set fire...... Shen An, doesn't it matter if your ancestors are disgraced? If they had known underground, they would have cut open the coffin, raised their heads to the sky and roared, regretting that they had given birth to such unworthy offspring as you......"
Han Guan said heartily, Cao Tong looked at Shen An worriedly, "Anbei, just treat him as a fart!" ”
This Han official's scolding was so ugly that even Yelu Hongji stroked his beard and praised after he got the word later: "This eloquence ...... Is he a Han official? ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." There was envy in someone's eyes, knowing that the Han official was about to be promoted.
Yelu Hongji said, "Go back and let him come to me." ”
Gee!
This is a step to the sky!
The Han people can't be officials in the north, but Yelu Hongji was promoted because of the eloquence of this Han man, and he was promoted to his side.
The future is limitless!
Everyone exchanged glances, and they were all ready to get close to that Han official later, which could be regarded as an early good fate.
Yelu Hongji smiled: "Then Shen An was scolded speechless, I am very relieved, hahahaha!" ”
The Han official over there was scolding, and Shen An suddenly leaned out and asked, "Who is your ancestor?" ”
“…… If there is such a bad descendant...... What the? Han Guan was stunned.
There was silence around, and Shen An's voice was very loud: "A certain person asked who your ancestor was?" ”
Han Guan subconsciously said: "The ancestor of a certain is from Handan......"
Shen An asked again: "Your ancestor is from Handan, but where are you now?" ”
Han Guan's face turned red all of a sudden.
"Where's Handan?"
Shen An asked step by step, "Where are your ancestors buried?" ”
Han Guan's lips squirmed, "Some...... A certain ......"
Shen An sighed: "Have you brought the ancestral tablet?" Will there be sacrifices? ”
The Han official nodded, which showed that his family still maintained some of the living habits of the Han people, such as worshipping ancestors.
"But your ancestors are in Handan, ...... in the Central Plains"
Han Guan's mood collapsed at once, and he shouted: "A certain person is from Da Liao!" ”
"It doesn't matter where you are." Shen An said calmly: "The important thing is where your heart is...... You are a Han'er, but you are a foreigner...... Don't think that your ancestors have no eyes, if they have no eyes, what do you do to sacrifice them......"
"If your ancestors had spirits in the heavens and saw you doing things for a foreign race, and you still looked loyal, would they be angry?"
Han Guan trembled slightly, and he shouted: "A certain person is a Great Liao person, a certain person is a Great Liao person in life, and a Great Liao ghost is a ghost in death." ”
"Yo Yo Lu Ming, Wild Apple, I have a guest, drumming and blowing sheng...... The mountains look up, and the scenery stops ......"
Shen An asked, "Do you know what these are?" ”
"The Book of Songs." Speaking of this, Han Guan showed a confident smile, obviously having good learning.
Yelu Hongji, who was behind, heard the word and praised: "Be polite and courteous, and make Shen An have nothing to say with a few words, and this person can be of great use." ”
This man is so much to praise!
Everyone was jealous, thinking that this person was really out of shit luck.
"Then Shen An is just like that, if he goes, he will definitely be able to say that he is speechless."
"Yes! Such a good opportunity, it's a pity. ”
……
"The leaves are pale, the white dew is frost, the so-called Yi people, on the water side...... Death and life are broad, saying with Zicheng, holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son, are these famous sentences beautiful? ”
Han Guan nodded, he had already chanted along just now, and he only felt that his teeth and cheeks were fragrant.
"Beauty."
"But it's Han." Shen An suddenly raised his voice, "Whether it is the Liao people or the Western Xia people, they are the opponents of the Han people, they lead beasts to eat people, and they are vulgar. They regard the Han people as enemies, and enslave the Han people as pleasures, is such a person worthy of reciting the poetry of the Han people? They only deserve to listen to military songs! Listen to the military songs of the Han people, and be slaughtered by the Han people! ”
Huang Chun shouted from the side: "Sing!" ”
"You don't see it, the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is a captive, please ...... long"
This song spread all over the world after the military parade on the Royal Street, and because of its majestic momentum, it was the most popular among the military.
Everyone is singing, "You don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle cloud ......"
Liuke was surrounded by singing, and he saw a sergeant singing vigorously, looking excited.
This is the war song of the Han people, and the Han people are naturally excited when they hear it.
"A man should be in serious danger, how can he let his fame be lost in this life."
Liuke was embarrassed and felt that this lyric was really a bit excessive.
Bao Zheng will be dissatisfied, right?
He looked at Bao Zheng.
"The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feather competition stops!"
Bao Zheng was also singing, he remembered the difficult situation since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, isn't it just dangerous?
This Great Song Dynasty survived in this dangerous environment, and it will have to continue in the future.
In the past, the Great Song Dynasty was in danger, but now it is different.
Today's Great Song Dynasty is thriving, whether it is the economy or the army, this Great Song Dynasty is constantly advancing, making progress bit by bit.
In the past, if Yelu Hongji personally led a large army to attack, Bao Zheng was afraid that he would despair.
But now?
Now he's singing, singing songs that make the aliens angry.
"Abandon my old pen, and I will be wartime."
Bao Zheng's eyes moistened, he held the handle of the knife, and slowly pulled out the long knife......
"More than 100,000 comrades are singing war songs and joining the army."
Liu Ke couldn't help but sing along, only to feel his blood boiling.
"Qi Congjun, clean the dust, swear to sweep away the murderous and disregard for yourself!"
The song was loud, and Bao Zheng suddenly pointed his knife outside the city and shouted: "Kill the enemy!" Fight the enemy! ”
Countless soldiers brandished their weapons and shouted: "Kill the enemy!" Fight the enemy! ”
The shouts resounded in the sky, and Yelu Hongji's face turned pale, and he said, "What is this? ”
He likes poetry and songs, so he can naturally understand this simple military song, and he asks who wrote this song.
A civil official on the side said, "It was made by Shen An." ”
"Shen An!"
Yelu Hongji looked left and right, and some people were slightly pale, obviously shocked by the momentum of the Song army.
It's just a song, is that true?
"Kill! Fight the enemy! ”
The shouts kept coming, and the morale of the Liao army plummeted.
Yelu Hongji said in a deep voice: "Then Shen An actually used a song to reverse the morale of the army, which shows that he is smart. This person is worthy of the name of Wenzong, but what is the name of a famous general? Let's give it a try. ”
He drew his long sword, pointed it at the head of the city, and shouted, "Siege!" Besiege! ”
Tens of thousands of Liao troops shouted in unison, "Siege!" Besiege! ”
The momentum suddenly tightened, and someone shouted: "The trebuchet comes forward......"
Attacking such a fortress with dangerous terrain can only be filled with human lives without trebuchets.
The Liao people have this courage, but the Liao army worked hard to get trebuchets up, not as spectators.
"The enemy has trebuchets!"
The city head had already discovered the enemy trebuchets that were gathering, and Shen An smiled: "We have them too, and there are quite a few of them." ”
The trebuchet is a good thing to hit the enemy's large targets and demoralize the enemy.
"Get ready!"
Shen An is like a child who has got a toy, and he can't be excited.
"With a fire oil bomb!"
The trebuchet was loaded with fire oil bombs and ignited......
Boom!
The first fire oil bomb flew out of the city and headed towards the Liao army.
"Song Army's Trebuchet ......"
Someone in the Liao army was screaming, and everyone looked up at the small black dot in the sky.
"This stone is too small, isn't it?"
Several fire oil bombs were tied together and burned, which did not look big, but when the height was reduced, the flames were obvious.
"It's the fire oil bomb of the Song people!"
A general with a dark face shouted: "Be careful! Let trebuchets be careful! ”
it!
If the trebuchet gets a shot, it won't be able to look.
"Prepare to put out the fire!"
The fire oil bomb fell quickly, smashed into the side of a trebuchet and burst into flames.
This one is considered to have been avoided, but what about the back?
"Throwing Stone ......"
Under the threat of the Song army's explosives, the operators of the Liao army stepped forward one after another, and when they were ready later, they shouted and projected out.
"Attention ......"
At the head of the city, Shen An looked at the flying stones, and felt a sense of absurdity in the Three Kingdoms period.
Bang!
Two of these stones hit the city wall, and Shen An felt some vibration, and then the trebuchet behind him began to fire a volley.
The burning oil bomb rushed out, Shen An raised the binoculars, and saw that a trebuchet was hit by the fire oil bomb and caught fire, and the Liao troops on the side rushed up to put out the fire......
But the fire is so easy to save, and the main structure of the trebuchet is wood, that's really ......
"It's really a fire!"
But the Liao army was not afraid of death, and the stones were still flying over.
Boom!
A city head was hit by stones, and the flying stone chips overturned more than ten people, and several city bricks were also smashed.
Those Song soldiers were screaming, and Shen An ordered: "Change the gunpowder canister!" ”
"Nyima! Kill them! ”
When the gunpowder cans flew over, the Liao troops who were preparing to put out the fire suffered a catastrophe.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
In the dense explosions, the Liao army was blown up in pieces, and those who survived fled in embarrassment, and the scene was chaotic.
When Yelu Hongji saw this scene in the back, he pointed ahead, and a group of cavalry rushed over and killed the Liao army that had fled.
"This is a powder bullet?"
Yelu Hongji remembered the Song army in the past, when their greatest reliance was human life.
Fill the line with human lives, you break through one place, and the next awaits you until you are exhausted and have no fighting spirit.
But now the Song people are different, they luxuriously use crossbow formations composed of divine crossbows to defend, and even use fire oil bombs and gunpowder canisters to fight the enemy army.
"Your Majesty, this is the powder jar."
The generals of the Liao army had solemn faces, and some people were discussing in a low voice how to deal with the sharp weapons of the Song army, but after thinking about it, they found that they were helpless.
Yelu Hongji said coldly: "The light cavalry wants to attack one by one, so that the trebuchets of the Song army are overwhelmed. The trebuchet is going to throw stones to the death, smashing their fortress, and in three days, I will eat in the city. ”
It was a bold decision to attract the trebuchet firepower of the Song army.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Groups of light horsemen began the assault, the Song army's crossbow arrows were powerful, and trebuchets were busy throwing gunpowder canisters to bombard the light horses.
And the trebuchets of the Liao army took the opportunity to throw stone bombs frantically......
"Boom!"
One of the walls of Seki was bombarded several times, and a section of it collapsed with a bang.
Yelu Hongji shouted: "Kill it!" ”
"Attack! Sortie! ”
Countless Liao troops carried ladders and began to storm......
