Chapter 161: Siege
"Weng Li's army, do you think we still have a chance of leading our troops to break through now?" After returning to Yazhong, Qingyang, the prefect of Fengzhou, relieved his breath for a long time, and the scene just now was too terrifying, which made his belief in sticking to the city shaken.

"My lord, now the outside of the city has been surrounded by the Song army, and there is only one way to work, it is impossible to break through, there is only one way to hold on!" Weng Li sighed and said, but he couldn't help sneering in his heart, earlier you asked you to break through the siege before the Song army completed the siege, but you relied on the strong city and waited for reinforcements, and now the soldiers are coming to the city, and after a burst of artillery fire, I think of breaking through, isn't this a brain disease!
"All the messengers were killed, and the reinforcements of the King of Jin didn't know where they went? How about it now! Qingyang was a little panicked and muttered.
"My lord, there are less than two hours left, and the Song army is about to attack the city, and we have to prepare early!" Weng Li saw that Qingyang was at a loss, and he was in a hurry, and hurriedly reminded.
"What else is there to prepare, the Song army is sharp, what can we resist!" Qingyang's face turned pale and said with a wry smile.
"My lord, the enemy's firearms are blocked by the city wall, and they will not be able to go far, as long as a few soldiers are put on guard in the outer city, and then they will be killed and wounded when they enter the city, and we also need a divine arm bow, which can shoot four hundred paces, and can be fired first, destroying their firearms, and it may not be without the power of a battle. If the outer city is lost, we still have the inner city, as long as we try our best with the Song army, the soldiers will be able to kill the Song army, and the prince of Jin will send troops this time to relieve the siege of Fengzhou, as long as you hold on for a month, you can wait for reinforcements! If the chief officer panicked at this time, the people below would be even more finished, and Weng Li hurriedly cheered up Qingyang.
"Okay, then there is Lord Lao Wengli, as long as you can hold on until the reinforcements arrive, your lord will make the first contribution, and the general will be able to reinstate the official in the future, and the official will have to rely on the general to take care of it at that time!" Qingyang listened to Weng Li's words and felt a little relieved, thinking about his performance just now, he also felt embarrassed, and said with a dry smile.
"My lord, there is a saying in the Song Dynasty that 'there must be a brave man under the heavy reward', and now is the time for the soldiers to use their lives, please also open the treasury and reward the soldiers who defend the city!" Qingyang is usually not generous to his subordinates, and at this time he still refuses to let the sergeants eat enough, but Weng Li knows that fighting is to pin your head to the waistband of your trousers, you are reluctant at this time, and when the time comes, you will be a soldier and let you give up all of them, and even lose your life.
"Okay, General Quanyi, I immediately asked Cangji to open the treasury, and each soldier will be rewarded with half a catty of wine and two taels of tea... That's always the reward... Oh, slaughter cattle and sheep every day, improve the diet, and increase the grain to six liters per person! Qingyang saw that Weng Li's face was not good, and he increased the size several times before he could barely pass the test, but when Weng Li went out, the meat hurt again.

......
"Report to the commander, three hours have come, whether to start the siege!" In the Chinese army tent, the generals of the loyal and brave army stood solemnly on both sides, and Zhao Ren reported to the prince.
"Since they don't appreciate it, don't blame this king for being ruthless!" Zhao Ta smiled at everyone embarrassedly, as if he was very faceless if the other party didn't sacrifice the city, "Our city has been besieged for so many days, and the preparations are almost the same, Zhao Ren no matter what method you use today, I will eat dinner in Fengzhou City, if you starve me, you will be fully responsible!" ”
"Don't worry, I'll hold a banquet for the prince in Fengzhou Mansion tonight!" Zhao Ren took a step forward and said.
"Okay, I like it, I've got the money ready!" Zhao Ta 'snapped' and slapped a stack of papers on the case, "I have prepared the documents for the appointment, just fill in the name, and order the whole army, the first ten people to climb the head of Fengzhou City, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be one hundred taels of silver, and the battalion will be awarded the title of 'Fengzhou First Battalion', and the person who captures the prefect of Fengzhou will be promoted to one level, and the reward will be fifty taels of silver, and his head will be halved, but those who arbitrarily kill prisoners, rob the people, and rape women will be killed!" "The right to the camera was not given for nothing, it was a large stack of blank appointment certificates, which had been stamped with a large seal, and was specially used to reward meritorious soldiers. …,
"Obey the general's orders!" Zhao Ren took the token, turned around and went out to transfer troops to attack the city, and only a few of Zhao Xin's personal guards and Zhe Meiluan were left in the big tent.
"Lord Wang, it's noon now, even if it's a unitary meal, it's only three hours, it's impossible to capture such a strong city!" Zhi Meiluan pinched the orchid finger and said in surprise with a frown.
"The prince has his own calculations, so he doesn't have to worry about the girl, and the prince has always eaten at the time of unitary, even if the prince wants to eat from time to time, Zhao Ren will arrange it!" Zhao Xin changed a cup of hot tea for the prince and sneered, "Oh, I understand, the Fuzhou army also participated in the siege today, and it must be afraid that it will not be able to be captured by the time, and it will be engaged in military law!" ”
"Don't listen to Zhao Xin's nonsense, the general Fuzhou army led by your brother is only serving as an auxiliary attacker, and there will be no problem!" Zhao Ta saw that the two were about to start bickering again, so he had to 'extinguish the fire' first.
"Hmph, the auxiliary attack sounds better, but it's just to beat the side drums, watch the prisoners, clean up the battlefield, and get some combat exploits!" Zhao Xin was dissatisfied, and the prince sent the other two soldiers and horses to Yincheng and Liancheng as mobile troops to reinforce a few fortresses on the road at any time, but he left the Fuzhou army to participate in the siege, obviously giving them some military exploits in vain, and wanted to please the future 'old man', as if others didn't know the way!
"You... I have been fighting the border for the country for more than 100 years, resisting the Western Xia army with a state of land, how many people have died in battle, how have you ever been afraid, don't think that your loyal army has won a few battles, it is amazing! Zhe Meiluan couldn't help being squeezed by Zhao Xin, and reprimanded sharply, forgetting that the loyal army was the prince's pro-army, and what did he come to do.
"Okay, you are famous in the army, why can't you do anything about the small city of Fengzhou, you have the ability to see you on the battlefield, talk big, brag who wouldn't, my ancestor was once the prime minister, but what's the use!" Zhao Xin teased, he didn't know how much he had learned from the harsh words of the prince over the years, but today he can catch the opponent, and he is bald out like a machine gun.
"Zhao Xin, don't be unreasonable, the Zhejia army is loyal to the country, and the saint is relieved, this time he sent troops to help the war, where did you come from so many strange words, quickly apologize to the girl!" Zhao Xin's words became more and more excessive, and Zhao Ta saw that the tears in Zhi Meiluan's eyes were only swirling, and he glared at Zhao Xin and said.
"I'm sorry to fold the girl, I shouldn't look down on you fold the family, and I shouldn't sarcastically ridicule Miss Zhe for messing with beauties!" Zhao Xin gave a salute to Zhe Meiluan and said in a weird manner, but this 'ceremony' is sloppy and not even foolish, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that our prince has been engaged, and you have also seen it, it is the Zhu girl on the night of Shangyuan, who is the queen mother herself, just wait for the prince to go back and get married, you just want to marry but you are just a concubine..."
"You... I..."Zhe Meiluan was ashamed and annoyed, but he was indeed ordered by his brother to seduce the prince, and now he was poked in the sore spot by Zhao Xin, and he didn't know how to argue for a while, so he left the tent in anger and rode away from the Chinese army camp.
"Zhao Xin, you are too much today, the girl is very polite to you, why are you looking for trouble with others again and again, do you have to spoil my big thing before you can stop!" Zhao Ta shouted twice, but he left without looking back, and he yelled at Zhao Xin angrily.
"Second master, don't be angry, it's all my fault!" Zhao Xinzhi said that the prince was really annoyed, and waved his hand to let the people in the tent go out, and he carefully beat the prince on the back and said.
"Humph!" Zhao Ta turned his head and ignored him.
"Second master, I don't know what's wrong with Lu Dao, I feel angry when I see her beside you, so I can't help but say those things that shouldn't be said, I'll go to apologize to her later, don't be angry!" Zhao Xin said softly, in fact, he understood very well in his heart, the prince only treated the Zhe family well, not only because he was interested in the little lady of the Zhe family, but also because although Fengzhou had been lost for many years, the influence of the Zhe family on Fengzhou should not be underestimated. …,
"Alas, the same sex repels each other, the opposite sex attracts, let's go!" After listening to Zhao Xin's words, Zhao Ta said helplessly, he is also responsible for causing this situation!
"Lord Wang, you want to drive me away?" Zhao Xin heard the prince say something inexplicable again, and asked in surprise.
"What do you want? I mean, I'm going to see the siege! Zhao Ta looked at Zhao Xin's strange appearance, and said with some amusement, this must be the first time that the loyal and brave army has attacked since the formation of the army, and it is a fortified city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he is still a little uneasy in his heart.
......
In order not to affect Zhao Ren's command and determination, Zhao Ta did not go to the front of the battle, but took a group of guards to climb a mountain outside Fengzhou City, where the terrain is extremely high, looking down on the entire battlefield, and every move on the battlefield can be seen under the lens of the telescope.
Zhao Ren has already completed the formation outside the west gate of Fengzhou, the tiger general serves as the main attack, and the dragon general uses the third and fourth battalions as the reserve. The direct subordinate team of the Loyal and Brave Army is the Chinese army, the left flank is covered by the first and second battalions of the dragon general, and the right flank is handed over to the Fuzhou military lion general to block the road to the direction of Liaoguo to prevent them from becoming 'refugees', and the leopard general has quietly entered the mountains as a strange army, hiding in the jungle.
The siege was mainly carried out by the loyal and brave army, supplemented by the Fuzhou army and the archers of the Fan nationality, and it can be said that the whole army was dispatched. At present, the strength of the loyal army is twice that of the Fengzhou defenders, and they have just finished training, and their morale is booming, and they are even more different from the enemy in terms of weapons.
In order to meet the requirements of victory in the first battle, Zhao Ren concentrated the artillery of the whole army, and more than 100 artillery pieces were lined up at a distance of ten paces 400 steps away from the city wall of Xicheng.
"Ready!" Failed to shout again, and the artillery commander Zhao Xiao saw the flag waving and issued the command to prepare to shoot...
