Chapter 1070

The Wanjingkou Fort at the northeast end of Youzhou in the Song Dynasty, and the Sanchakou Fort at the southeast end, backed by the Wuding River, were all occupied by the Liao army before.

And Sanchakou even became an important transit point for the Liao army's heavy supplies. However, these two forts were burned down by the army led by that kind of division when the Liaoxia coalition army invaded Youzhou.

More than a year ago, after the end of the war, the Manjingkou Fort and the Sanchakou Fort, which were almost in ruins, were rebuilt.

It is no longer the kind of fortified fortress made of rubble and wood, but built with bricks and cement, and Sanchakou is the closest to Xiazhou, so naturally its reconstruction work has become the top priority.

Today's three forks, the fort wall is as high as two zhang, thick as zhangxu, the garrison is three thousand in peacetime, if it is wartime, it is not too crowded to plug more than 10,000 soldiers.

And Wan Jingkou is also not far behind. Therefore, when Wang Yang realized that the Liao people were likely to be angry and raise troops instead of coming, he agreed to Zhe Keshi's active request.

The 20,000 elite divisions were divided into two routes, all the way to Wanjingkou for reinforcements, and all the way to the three forks, and also ordered the Wuding River Water Division to strengthen its vigilance and rush to the three forks at any time.

In the early morning of the next day, when the army of the Liao Kingdom appeared in front of the Sanchakou Fort, the Sanchakou Fort had already closed its four gates.

And the old driver Zhi Keshi was standing on top of the city at the moment, holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, carefully looking at the Liao army that appeared a few miles away.

When he saw the arrogant banner, Zhi Keshi couldn't help but show an expression that was as expected. "It seems that Yelu Dudten really didn't surprise the official, and he didn't have the courage to attack Youzhou, so he only dared to come here to show off his might."

"The general is wise, it's just that Yelu Dutton is too underestimated of us, with twenty or thirty thousand horses, does he think he can take our three-way fort?" Chen Jinzhong, the guard of the three-way port fort beside him, pursed his lips and said with a disapproving smile on his face.

"Don't get too fucking carried away, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, haven't you heard of this wise saying?" Zhe Keshi glared at this goods.

Chen Jinzhong smiled, lifted the iron helmet on his head, and said while scratching his itchy scalp with his fingers.

"The lesson of the lord is that the last general understands, but the problem is that the last general is telling the truth, with this rock-solid three-way fortress, and with the 10,000 elites led by you, my lord, and behind me the Wuding River Master of the Great Song Dynasty, the last general really can't imagine that we can have a reason to fail."

"That's true, but ...... Well, forget it, remind the soldiers to be on guard, you must be cautious, by the way, let the catapult team in the castle be ready, and you can let those bastards taste it in advance in advance. ”

Zhe Keshi rolled his eyes, but he couldn't say anything, turned his head, and looked at the five long shoots that stood up in the center of the fortress, and his heart became more and more calm.

These five long shoots are naturally the most important projectile parts of the Yuanyou stone throwing machine, except for the batch in Youzhou, which are all made in Youzhou, whether it is Wanjingkou Fort or the Yuanyou stone throwing machine in Sanchakou Fort, they are all made by the Ordnance Supervision and assembled after getting the border fort.

Compared with the original Yuanyou stone throwing machine, the accuracy of these standardized production Yuan You stone throwing machine has been improved to a certain extent, and the same durability is also the same.

However, in order to ensure the hegemony of the Great Song Dynasty over this advanced weapon, whether it is Wanjingkou or a border fort like this three-way crossing, the operation of the Yuanyou stone throwing machine is responsible for a special person, and each machine is repeatedly doused with fire oil.

You are not mistaken, this is naturally to prevent this advanced weapon from being leaked, so in order to prevent accidents, when the entire Yuanyou stone throwing machine leaves the factory, each part will be soaked with fire oil first.

If someone comes up to snatch it, hehe, you only need to get close with a torch, then these extremely powerful weapons will turn into huge bonfires in a short moment, even if it is rainy weather, the presence of fire oil will not give the enemy any chance to capture Yuanyou's stone thrower.

A large number of parts in the Yuanyu stone thrower can already be replaced with metal castings, but the problem is that the amount of wood consumed by this thing is really not a small amount, and the current output is not high.

However, Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, still waved his pen and directly gave thirty seats to North Shaanxi Road, which was almost the output of the ordnance prison for two months.

#####

There were still two miles to go from the fort of the Three Forks, and Jerodadon reined in his horse's head and told the whole army to halt its advance.

Riding a horse came to a high ground, condescendingly looking at the back of the Wuding River Sanchakou Fort, since the Liaoxia Song Three Kingdoms War, when the Song people rebuilt this fort, the Liao State naturally will not let go of the opportunity, but also sent a lot of fine work, for this rebuilt Sanchakou Fort also has a certain understanding.

Not...... It's just that the more you understand, the more painful it is, and the new three-way fort built of cement and stone bricks is no longer the siege weapons of the past that can be broken or collapsed by dividing by two in three strokes and five divisions.

can only use the tactics of the sea of people, use the ladder and the long ladder, fill up the human life, rely on the bravery and fearlessness of the soldiers, and strive to fight a war of attrition with the Song army in the city.

The gate of the fort is closed, the guard is tight, and on the top of the fort, the flag is waving, and the figure of the coming and going is about enough, I am afraid that the Song army has already begun to wait for it, and it seems impossible to be caught off guard if you want to hit the fork in the road.

Since he can't sneak attack, then he can do it in a bright way, Yelu Dudun thinks that he can't deal with that Youzhou, but this is nearly two-thirds smaller than Youzhou's three-way fortress, and he is naturally full of confidence.

#####

In the early morning, Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, was still as usual, under the personal service of his beloved Empress Meng, he had breakfast, put on his court clothes, and said distressed to the Empress Meng behind him.

"You hurry up and go back to make up for sleep, now that your body is heavy, don't be tired."

Empress Meng Shi caressed the bulging lower abdomen that had been more than six months with a happy face, and nodded obediently. "The concubine knows, the official family should go quickly, don't miss the time of the early dynasty."

Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, nodded, and then Shi Shiran strode away, Queen Meng, once again pregnant, for the Great Song Dynasty, it is definitely a great good news.

Although the Son of Heaven already has a son and a daughter, in this era, the heirs are difficult, and the child can grow up peacefully to childhood, half of which depends on caution, and the other half depends on luck. Therefore, the heirs of the Son of Heaven are naturally as good as possible.

And after the Empress Meng gave birth, less than eight months later, she was pregnant with the dragon seed again, which made the Empress Dowager Gao Tao so happy that she was about to close her mouth, and she felt more and more that the granddaughter-in-law she chose was really the best candidate.
