Chapter 706: Siege
He received the news of the Song court just before, and learned the news that Yan Jun had killed 600,000 Song Guo's children, and found that he was tricked by Yan Guo.
He was also pulled to negotiate before, but now he didn't even see him, and the same was true of Tong Mo, who was in charge of the negotiation, and the officials of Yan State avoided him.
Even so, he didn't even want to be polite, righteous and shameful, so he scolded outside the palace gate.
There is no way to do this, as a Song envoy, he failed to keep the 600,000 sons of the Song State under the negotiation, which is somewhat implicated, and now all he can do is to make things more vigorous, so that his insulting behavior outside the palace of Yan Guo can spread all over the world.
is not only sad and indignant at the death of 600,000 sons, but also for the sake of his own ability to give an explanation to the country, not that he did not do his best.
At first, the palace gate guards ignored it, and the person in charge of related affairs also hid behind and refused to show up, who knew that Qian Liansheng scolded endlessly, and the more he scolded, the more ugly it became, and the palace finally sent a team of guards out to drive it away.
However, Qian Liansheng persevered, was driven away and ran back repeatedly, like a shrew scolding the street.
Seeing him like this, there was no way, the palace guards had to arrest him, but they didn't give him anything, the two countries did not kill the envoy at war is a tacit rule, and secondly, at this time, many courtiers were also discouraged from killing the Song envoy.
The courtiers dissuaded selfishness, killed the envoys of the Song State, and feared stronger retaliation after the city was broken, so they didn't want to do anything to the end, and they wanted to leave a glimmer of life for themselves.
And at the same time as the continuous victory of the money, the sound of drums and horns outside the city began to rise one after another, and the Song army began to attack the city!
Its movements were so loud that even the people in the palace could faintly hear it, and the harem concubines fell into panic.
Shang Jianxiong, who was standing on the high steps, also pinched a cold sweat with his hands, and his heart was also in panic, not knowing if this city could be defended.
Meng Xuan, who was sitting in the palace, stood on the high pavilion and overlooked, several large birds fell from the sky and fell into the palace, and the three major factions were also preparing to retreat once the city was broken, so that important personnel could be evacuated in time.
Outside the city, the Song army did not eat idle during the siege of the city, in order to put pressure on Yanjing, they had already cut down trees in the mountains and forests around the capital to make siege equipment, which was originally for show, but I didn't expect it to really come in handy.
The army carried the ladder like a tide to attack the city gate, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the siege equipment pushed closer to the city wall at the same time.
Soon, the archers on both sides fired at each other in a rain of arrows, and in an instant the screams of both sides continued.
In this regard, the defenders of the city suffered a loss, and there was no large enough area in the city to set up a large enough array of archers.
The monks of the Song Kingdom took advantage of the situation and flew out, wanting to fly up to the city to open the way for the Song army, but a group of Yan monks flew out of the city to intercept them, and the two sides fought in the people and horses rushing like a tide, and the people and horses who rushed like an ant colony did not care about the threat brought by the monks fighting, they should have fallen and fell, and those who were still standing only cared about impacting themselves.
The ladder leaned against the city wall, the soldiers of the Song army desperately climbed to the top of the city, and the soldiers on the city wall kept pushing away the ladder on the wall with forks, and the ladder overturned was a string of people who fell over and fell into the crowd below.
Siege crossbowsThe steel crossbows inserted into the city walls became a good thing for siege soldiers to climb.
The hot oil was also pouring down the city, pouring out bursts of screams.
After the stone-throwing cart approached the city, stones were hurried and thrown at the head of the city, and the stones and arrows that crossed the city wall caused the people in the city to let out a burst of screams, and the frightened people fled in panic, and were ordered by the guards to kill some people before they stabilized their positions.
The rockets on the top of the city ignited and began to attack the siege engines.
Under the city gate, a group of Song soldiers rushed with a giant log, ready to crash open the city gate, but they were sprayed by fire oil, the giant wood burned, and the Song army that was burned avoided one after another.
When the offensive and defensive battle was in full swing, a group of Song monks rushed to break through the city gate!
Ga Miaoshui, who was standing at the head of the city, pulled out the soft sword that was dangling at his waist in his hand, and said sharply: "Little ones, kill with me!"
He was the first to jump down, his cloak flying like a goshawk fluttering to the ground.
A group of eunuchs jumped off the city with their swords and followed him, guarding in front of the city gate, fighting angrily with a group of Yan monks who rushed in!
Don't look at a group of eunuchs, their decisiveness should not be underestimated, especially the combat power, the strength of this group of eunuch monks is very extraordinary, under the leadership of Ga Miaoshui, it is difficult to block the impact of waves of monks, making it difficult for the enemy to approach the city gate.
With the order of the besieging general, a group of monks retreated, and a group of archers stepped forward with siege crossbows, intending to launch a devastating attack on Ga Miaoshui and others who were guarding the city gate.
This move made Ga Miaoshui and the others highly nervous.
Ga Miaoshui's cloak flicked, and a palm slapped into the flames, and the giant tree that was pushed and slammed against the door and burned turned sideways, and a group of eunuchs lay behind the giant tree.
At this moment, the sound of hooves in the distance was like thunder, and a mighty cavalry rushed like thunder.
"Heroic and Martial Guard!"
"It's Yingyang Wu Liewei!"
"The Heroic Warrior Guard is here!"
The soldiers defending the city suddenly burst into cheers, and then the rear of the Song army besieging the city was completely chaotic.
Ga Miaoshui got up from behind the burning flames and looked up, still couldn't see clearly, flicked his cloak, flew up the city wall, looked ahead with a horizontal sword in his hand, and saw a large-scale cavalry led by the word "Shang" rushed into the rear of the Song army, swept like a swift wind, and immediately rushed the Song army's offensive formation into a mess.
The Song army's offensive was immediately broken, and the commander immediately mobilized the siege men and horses to resist the cavalry in the rear, and rushed to the foot of the city wall and sent the people who had no time to retreat.
After a burst of cavalry sweeping, they did not entangle with the army here, came and went like the wind, and quickly broke away.
When it was far away, the cavalry lined up again, staring at the Song army with fierce eyes, under the banner of the word "Shang", the Shang Dynasty Zong drove the horse forward, the horizontal sword was immediately, and the war horse neighed!
According to Meng Shanming's arrangement, Shang Chaozong was not allowed to participate in the battle to protect the capital, and only when Luo Zhao's army retreated, he attacked and disturbed on the way, delaying and consuming the retreating strength of the Song army, delaying its time, consuming its grain and grass, and preparing for the follow-up settlement of the Song army.
But after receiving the news, Shang Chaozong couldn't sit idly by, couldn't sit back and watch the Song army attack the capital of Yan and ignore it, for him, the royal family of Yan State, especially the son of King Ning, he really couldn't sit back and watch the enemy army be so arrogant in Yan Kingdom, and he must teach some lessons!
His tactics are also very simple, not to fight to the death with the Song army, but to harass and prevent the Song army from easily attacking Yanjing!
Later, it was indeed the case, as soon as the Song army attacked the city, his cavalry came and went quickly, and selected the weak position of the Song army to attack, so that the Song army could not gather forces to attack the city.
At this time, the siege stopped, and the cheers of the city were heard.
"King Ning's heroic martial arts guard is here!"
The people in the city also erupted in cheers that gradually swept the whole city, and this attack of Shang Chaozong brought great confidence to the whole capital to defend the capital.
Hearing the movement in the city, Ga Miaoshui, who was wearing a cloak stained with blood, looked back, listened to a burst of cheers, and then looked back at the Nanzhou people and horses who were confronting the Song army in the distance, and his expression was extremely complicated.
"Shang Chaozong's Nanzhou men and horses launched an attack on the Song army?"
In the palace, under the eaves, Shang Jianxiong, who heard the news, stood on the steps and asked suspiciously.
Tian Yu, who reported the report, said: "Yes, the first wave of the Song army's attack has been suppressed by the men and horses led by the Shang Dynasty Sect, and in the face of the attack of the Nanzhou people, the Song army no longer dares to act rashly!"
Hearing this, Shang Jianxiong's cheeks squirmed, and his expression was complicated.
Tong Mo, Shang Yongzhong and Gao Jiancheng, who were standing on the side, looked at each other.
Meng Xuan, who was standing in the high pavilion, heard the news and said "oh", as if he was quite surprised, with a thoughtful look on his face......
The Song army's 500,000 horses, in the face of Shang Chaozong's 100,000 iron cavalry, did not dare to disperse their forces and act rashly.
However, after this drag, the huge threat that should have come still came, and the next day, most of the Song army led by Luo Zhao finally arrived.
The mighty army of three million gathered, and its momentum and lineup, shouted in unison, which made the defenders of the city frightened!
Luo Zhao was dressed in a white coat and went outside the city to check the situation and listen to the report of the pioneer siege people.
After that, he went to the opposite side of the 100,000 iron cavalry in Nanzhou, which confronted the Song army, and had to praise after seeing it: "The appearance of the Nanzhou army is really not ordinary, and it is not at all afraid in the face of my three million army, and it is really not comparable to those rabble in Yan Kingdom!"
Having said that, 100,000 horses against an army of 3 million are pitifully small.
The vanguard general said: "Shang Dynasty Sect's 100,000 iron horsemen harassed behind their backs, advancing and retreating quickly, it's really a headache!"
Luo Zhao turned around and ordered: "Order the army to rest in turns, order all departments to send men and horses to cut down trees in the nearby mountains, build siege equipment, and wait until midnight, and immediately launch an attack from all around Yanjing at the same time!"
The general was puzzled: "Attack the city in the dark?"
Luo Zhao: "During the siege of the city, the lights were extinguished by the men and horses in the rear, and Shang Chaozong could not see the movement of our army clearly, and he was afraid of traps, so he would not dare to act rashly." ”
The general suddenly realized.
After that, this plan really worked, Shang Chaozong saw the vigorous fight at the foot of the city, but the Song soldiers and horses behind the battlefield did not know what the situation was, and they did not dare to attack again, it was really too large for the other party's men and horses.
In the evening, Tong Mo left the palace and returned to Dasikong Mansion, and the housekeeper Tong Ming welcomed him at the door, and whispered beside him: "Mr. Yan is here, wait for the master in the study." ”
Tong Mo's eyes lit up, and he immediately quickened his pace.
As soon as I arrived at the study, I saw a bright and moving woman half-leaning on the chair, holding a book and flipping through it, with sandalwood curling on the side, a gorgeous dress set off the enchanting charm, and a little coldness in her eyebrows and eyes.
The so-called 'Mr. Yan' refers to this woman, this woman is none other than Yan Baoru, who is ranked second only to the clear sky of the West Gate of Tianwei Mansion in the Dan list, and the Dan list ranks second!
When Tong Mo saw it, he immediately stepped forward quickly and bowed his hand and said, "Mr. Yan, I finally looked forward to you." ”
Yan Baoru raised his eyes and took a look, put down the scroll, stood up with a slight smile, and said with his chin bowed: "Childlike." ”
