Chapter 30: Flying West and East with the Sun and the Wild Goose (19)

was severely reprimanded by the Grand Duke, and Dachang didn't dare to say more.

It's just that knowing that a son is not as good as a father, Dagong Ding only looked at his son's look when he lowered his head, and he knew that he was not convinced at all. And the eldest son next to him is generally unimpressed.

The two sons didn't look down on the seeds at all, which made the Grand Duke Ding's heart panic, and he knew that they were probably influenced by the capital management Yelu Yuli and Zuo Shenwen Xi Wuye.

The tribes that migrated to Xingling were not afraid of war. Yelu Yuli, who led the military government, was always belligerent, preaching all day long to pacify the party internally and punish the Southern Dynasty externally. As a result, many young people are eager to try it. Dagongding's three sons, the adult Changling and Changhei, are the same as the young people in other clans, who have been shouting all day long to go to Weizhou, but they are all forced down by Dagongding.

Dagong Ding will never underestimate the seeds!

If the reputation of a Southern Dynasty general can spread to the Great Liao Kingdom, it is by no means such a simple person. Judging from the past experience of Chong Ge, he can even be said to be one of the top famous generals in the Southern Dynasty. That's why he can sit on Yinxia Road.

With Pule City as the core, it is an established strategy to surround and send reinforcements.

Weizhou, which is subordinate to Huanqing Road, and Yanzhou, which is subordinate to Yinxia Road, are the two military states closest to Pule City, and the Huanqing Army and Yinxia Army are the first targets of this dispatch.

Pule City is only a military fort on the periphery of Weizhou, before Pule City had killed the Liao soldiers, Xingling Xingbing besieged Pule City can also be justified, compared to a direct attack on Weizhou is more justifiable. Only the elimination of Song reinforcements is also based on this reason.

Even though Yelu Yuli clamored to punish the Song people, he still carried out the bottom line that Shang's father did not want the Song people to tear their faces.

It's just that Weizhou, which is on the Huanqing Road, has not sent troops so far, and there is no news in the direction of Yanzhou.

Huanqing Road is not enough, and the leader of the town is a civilian official. But Yinxia Lu is a kind of man, and the city lord of Pule City is his biological son, so it is impossible not to save it. The kind of man can still endure it, which is already the work of a famous general.

During this period of time, the Liao army scouts on the direction of Yanzhou City suffered great losses. Judging from the reports of the scouts, the Song army in Yanzhou City had already released the search range of their cavalry for a hundred miles.

This is basically the distance that can only be reached by the long-range scouts and horses of the Great Liao Army, which is to prevent the enemy from attacking the flank, and at the same time to search for all objects that can be plundered.

Regardless of the reason for the planting, one thing is very certain, pure defense will definitely not require such a large range of enemy hunting!

Dagong Ding glared at his sons twice.

clamoring to attack Weizhou, and I don't want to think about how many lives will be thrown into just fighting a Pule City? Now it is the party members who have suffered heavy casualties, but what about the officers and soldiers? It will also be a heavy loss - the Great Liao Jingqi has never said that he is good at attacking cities!

It's just that in the vicinity of Xingling, you won't get any benefit if you don't attack the city.

It's not the same here as Hebei. In Nanjing Road, once the boundary river is crossed, it is the rich Hebei boundary. Dagongding once heard the ancestors say that a township there is richer than a military state in the country. Bypassing the heavily defended cities and plundering the towns and villages, it is still a good harvest.

And here in the six states of Xiping, facing the newly acquired land of the Song people, there are only strong walled cities within hundreds of miles. Over the Hengshan Mountain in the south, it is still a walled fort that stretches for hundreds of miles. In the past, it is the densely populated hinterland of Guanzhong. If you want to hit the city of Chang'an, you have to break the barrier of this mountain city walled city that totals more than 1,000 miles.

There aren't enough people to fill in. Even though the children of the family were brave and chased the Jurchens like rabbits, they could not waste their lives like this.

What to do? And what can be done? Dagong Ding has a sense of proportion.

……………………

At the head of the city, the planter held a long bamboo tube with a few loops of rope, looking left and right.

Although this bamboo tube was just held by him, which made the face of a party member bloom, it was a pity that in his eyes, it was basically a toy.

"This thing is also useful when defending the city." The planter regretted that he threw down the bamboo tube, and there was a bang. Hollow.

Such a bamboo tube filled with gunpowder, iron sand, and stones could only be used once, and it was no match for a six-inch-long wooden feather short arrow fired from a god's arm bow, or a scoop of hot boiling oil. It's just a novelty.

"It's fun." He said to Chong Pu and Feng Zhen, "Just forget it if you play." ”

"Who said that? Offering a new weapon is no small feat. Don't you see the benefits of the Divine Arm Bow? Chong Pu didn't agree with the opinion of the planter, "This flying musket is indeed just ordinary, but the flying rocket can shoot down the spaceship." There are actual combat results,"

Chongpu also fiddled with a bamboo tube in his hand, and the bamboo tube also helped a few loops of rope, but it was still a little different from the bamboo tube in the hand of the planter. This bamboo tube is filled with gunpowder arrows, but it has been shot out of the cannon before, and it is also empty.

"The Liao people also have spaceships. There are more eyes on the top of your head when you are defending the city, how much trouble it is, you have also seen it in the past few days. He held the bamboo tube with both hands one after the other, put the tail end on his shoulder, and aimed at the spaceship belonging to the Song army in the night sky above his head, "Now that the official army has flying rockets, it will be much more convenient in the future." ”

Feng Zhen has always maintained a good mood since the flying rocket shot down the Liao army's spaceship - because of this credit, neither the seed Pu nor the seed master will rob him.

"The Liao army still has a spaceship, if it can also shoot down, it will be a conclusive record." Feng Zhen with deep regret,

"There are so many fireworks, and the rest of the poisonous fireworks are all dismantled, and the gunpowder is gone." The planters are still not optimistic about these firearms, the consumption is too large, and the transportation of gunpowder is much more dangerous than arrows, "and the bamboo tube is easy to crack, and it is not convenient to use ropes." ”

"It's good to make two laps with an iron hoop." Feng Zhen said very decisively.

"Is it to make barrels?" The planter laughed, "Then wouldn't it be better to find two coopers?" ”

"If it really works, I'm afraid two won't be enough." Chong Pu thought for a while, "I remember that there were more than 20 clay figures who made sand tables for the Privy Council and the Wuying Palace. ”

As he spoke, a sound of hooves burst out, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the city, and then a dozen long arrows flew up from the darkness below.

In the darkness of the night, it was impossible to see how many cavalry were galloping under the city, but they came suddenly, and went away negligently, and galloped at the head of the city, and then immediately rushed away.

Chong Pu's personal guards had already raised their shields to defend Chong Pu, Chong Shizhong and Feng Zhen, and the soldiers also avoided it.

"I'm annoyed!"

The planter picked up a bow from his hand, drew another arrow from his hand, pulled it open, and shot it out. Only a blow to his helmet did not cause any damage, but it ignited the anger of the planters......

A long scream rushed from the city into the night, and it was only then that Chong Pu realized that what he had drawn out was an arrow with a bone whistle.

I don't know where this arrow fell, anyway, the person definitely didn't shoot it, and the sound of hooves was still steady. But the screeching of the sound of the sound spread far away in the night, and it also made the sound outside the city a little farther away.

"Why don't you fall off?"

The planter grinds his teeth with hatred. The Liao cavalry would make one or two trips around the city every night and shoot a few arrows at the city. Although they didn't get any results, it was disgusting.

Due to the light of the fire at the head of the city, the shooting in the city was completely inaccurate, and a few were scattered and shot by luck, and they were all rescued, and they did not know whether they were dead or alive.

And the cavalry of the Song army was not easy to pursue out of the city, they did not dare to gallop in the middle of the night, and they stumbled and died. But the cavalry of the Liao army seemed to have no fear, and they rushed to their heart's content, but no one fell off their horses for a few days. The riding skills are too far apart, and I can't catch up if I want to. Chong Pu also tried to ambush him, but unfortunately he also failed - the Liao people were never fooled again after suffering losses.

The seed master snorted and threw down his bow and asked Chong Pu, "Brother Seventeen, when will the reinforcements come?" ”

"This is for you, Twenty-three, right? Aren't you just the reinforcements? Chong Pu shook his head, and then said, "Zhao Jingluo estimates that it will be until the Liao people give up their idea of ambushing reinforcements. As for Yanzhou City......" he hesitated for a moment, and sighed at the end, "I really don't know what Daddy Lu thinks." But ......"

"But what?" The planter immediately asked.

"But ......" Chong Pu was very helpless, "but my father will never let go of the opportunity in front of him." ”

……………………

Dagong Ding looked at the head of Pule City, and now the army surrounding the city had no way to take this city. In addition to harassment, it is still harassment.

Shaking his head helplessly, he prepared to end his inspection tonight and return to his camp.

A cavalryman rushed from the direction of the Chinese army at this time, and when he saw Dagong Ding and his party from a distance, he turned over and dismounted, trotted over, and shouted with a pant: "It turns out that Jiedu is here, but let the villain be easy to find." ”

He knelt down on one knee in front of the Grand Duke Ding and saluted: "Jiedu, they are all in charge of discussing things, and order the villain to invite Jiedu." ”

"I'm just about to talk to the governor." Dagong Ding nodded, and immediately got on his horse and went to the big tent of the Chinese army. He didn't know what it was to ask that Yelu Yuli to invite him over, but it was almost three watches, and it shouldn't be a trivial matter.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the barracks, and then the sound suddenly expanded, and many soldiers came out of the tents.

...... Yingxiao?!

Could the legendary bombing camp appear in front of him, Dagong Ding's heart tightened, and he even wondered a little. These days, the losses under Pule City are basically party members, and the army has also suppressed many party members who have escaped from the battle, and the total casualties of this army are less than five hundred, why did their own military camp make trouble first?

Immediately, he knew the reason for the Dao, but he would rather not know the Dao.

It was already night, but there was a blinding red light on the horizon to the northwest.

The Grand Duke Ding was like falling into an ice cave, frozen stiff by the sudden chill, and his eyes tried to stare at the blood-like horizon, without any movement.

Dachang squeezed out a moan from his throat: "That...... That's Yaode City. ”

That's right, in that direction, it was Yaode City, which had hoarded the whole army's grain!
