The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 684 Ma Kuo's Birth
The Xianbei people and the Korean people are sharpening their knives, and Lu Heng has besieged Xiangping for more than ten days. They are smashing the city wall with stone catapults every day. lay out.

Not to mention that the Jurchen had never seen such a formation before, this sharp siege weapon was extremely lethal, causing heavy losses to Liu Yu's Han army.

It’s not that Jin Wushu never thought of using cavalry to destroy siege equipment, but as soon as he left the city gate, he was taken care of. In particular, Lu Heng increased the number of eight oxen crossbows and built fifty of them to replace the role of cannons, and brought them to the battlefield. The new strategy in the formation is to hold the Eight Bull Crossbows in front and guard them with infantry!

If it was said that the cavalry appeared from all directions in the field, Lu Heng still had some fears, but the cavalry who were driven into the city, even the Jurchen cavalry, Lu Heng dared to do so without any scruples.

The Jurchen cavalry was about to rush out, and the first wave was to face the intensive attack of short spears and catapults fired at the door. The Jurchen cavalry was beaten back as soon as they showed their heads, and the three thousand commanders were directly beaten to a pulp.

When the cavalry cannot rush out of the city, the final effect is also lost. It can be said that the Jurchen cavalry completed the spectator, and was smashed by the siege equipment when they went up the city wall, and they were also smashed by the siege equipment when they rushed out. The only way not to be smashed is to Huddled in the city, when did the Jurchens suffer from such a tortoise?

Lu Heng believed that after another ten days and a half months of attack, the city of Xiangping would definitely be broken. Lu Heng also received several system messages, such as winning the first confrontation with the Jurchen.

Chen Gong persuaded the Xianbei people to appear Jurchen, and spreading rumors led Wang Jian of Koryo to send troops to Jurchen. All three belonged to major events, and rewarded 3 times of summoning, and the number of summoning reached 5 times, breaking through the critical point again.

At the same time, Lu Heng finally came up with a solution to the Jurchen's language barrier, which made it impossible to know who the enemy general was.

"System, I want to designate and summon language talents!"

That's right, the way Lu Heng thought of was to summon powerful language talents. In the history of the Song Dynasty, there were many language geniuses who served as diplomatic envoys. With this person, after training in Jin Yiwei, they can basically eliminate illiteracy. At least Lu Heng has Jurchens generals in his hands. You can also know who the enemy will be in the opponent's battle.

[The number of remaining summoning times for the host to summon language talents is 4, the system is matching...]

[Ma Kuo's basic attributes: Commander 87, Force 61, Intelligence 96, Politics 95, Charm 94, Language 96]

[Yu Wenxuzhong's basic attributes: Commander 22, Force 17, Intelligence 93, Politics 83, Charm 87, Language 94]

[Hu Yanqing's basic attributes: Commander 61, Force 73, Intelligence 81, Politics 86, Charm 70, Language 97]

Sure enough, Lu Heng's assumption was correct. Although the only Yuwen Xuzhong is not a diplomat, he has been undercover in the Kingdom of Jin for many years and doesn't know Jurchen language. How can he undercover?

But this Hu Yanqing should be the one who made the 'Alliance of the Sea' in history, not the one in the Hujiajiang Romance!

It was not the first time for the three of them to be on the summoning list. There was nothing to introduce, but Ma Kuo was the one who was summoned in the end, which made Lu Heng feel that he had made a fortune.

Ma Kuo's ability is definitely not just a diplomat. Although he has a legendary experience in diplomacy, his ability to command troops and his knowledge of the international situation are Ma Kuo's strengths.

For the second time, a blacksmith named Fu Xuzi was summoned. This unknown blacksmith has a skill of 94. It is rumored that the strongest craftsman in the Weapons Department of the Northern Song Dynasty is better at making treasure armor than Shenbing.

After summoning twice in a row, there are still three summoning opportunities. Lu Heng thought for a while to give up the idea of ​​continuing to summon.

Because he summoned Ma Kuo and Fu Xuzi, Li Jiqian obtained Yang Shousu and Wei Mingyishan, Yelu Abaoji obtained Xiao Han's slaves and Yelu Dilie, Wanyan Aguda obtained Hamichi and Wanyan Chiduhe, and Bo'er only obtained Jin Temujin got Zhao Bi and Tuo Hei Tuo A.

In Xiangping City, Jin Wushu, Wanyan Huandu, Wanyan Jindanzi, Wanyan Tuhesu, Chizhanhui, Liu Yu, his sons, Li Cheng, Jing Chao and other generals were discussing about defending the city.

Jin Wushu is very angry now. The sixth son of Nuzhen was blocked in this Xiangping city and became a tortoise. He didn't even have a chance to go out of the city and fight the Song army. Now as soon as the city gate is opened, there will be huge stones and iron The spear came.

The Jurchens are nomads. As long as they are nomads, they advocate offense and are not good at defense. There are no such things as cities on the vast grasslands. How can they defend?
Originally, the Jurchen soldiers could help out on the city wall with their superb archery skills, but as the Song army had more and more equipment, the soldiers on the city wall were crushed and beaten very badly. If the elite Jurchen cavalry were used for such consumption, Lu Heng would Very happy, but Jin Wushu is very sad.

You must know that the population of the Jurchens is not large, and every soldier's combat power is a baby bump!
But even the Han generals who are good at defense have no good way to deal with the current situation. The Song army's siege method is simply a rogue.

They only use siege equipment to consume, and there has never been a battle to attack the city. How can they defend it?
"Sixth Prince, now we can only summon the craftsmen in the city, and we also make catapults, and there is nothing we can do about it with equipment." Liu Yu could only say the only way.

At this time, Jin Wushu could only nod in agreement, even Liu Yu had no choice but to rely on the Jurchens to defend the city, and he was even more blind. In desperation, he could only order the Han craftsmen to be arrested to make trebuchets.

At the same time, Jin Wushu and others held a meeting in the prefect's mansion, and a secret meeting was also held in a mansion in the south of Xiangping City.

"Brother, the Great Song army has been beating the city wall with equipment for more than ten days, and there is no sign of storming the city at all. This..." The person who inquired was Su Mingshuang, a horse merchant. From the words, it was obvious that he hoped that Lu Heng's Great Song would be fast. Some broke Xiangping, but they looked a little unconfident.

"Second brother doesn't know. This is the way that the emperor of Song Dynasty has always attacked the city. He used sophisticated siege equipment to smash the city wall. I heard that the last thing the emperor wanted was to storm the city meaninglessly. In this way, the Song Dynasty conquered the city. Fortified cities one after another." Zhang Shiping comforted Su Shuang from the side.

This person is also a horse merchant, but unlike Su Shuang who only went north, Zhang Shiping would venture south with the cavalry, so he had a more detailed understanding of Lu Heng's Song Dynasty.

"What the third brother said is true. The weapons of the Song Dynasty are so strong that it is outrageous. It is said that the Jin people dare not go up the city wall now, and even Liu Yu's army of thieves only let a small number of people on the city wall." Ma Kuo said. He also explained to Su Shuang.

"But this may be an opportunity for the three of us!" Ma Kuo said suddenly.

"What do you mean by elder brother?" Zhang Shiping asked naturally, and Su Shuang also looked curious.

"If we help the emperor of the Song Dynasty to break Xiangping, I believe we can get the chance to face the saint!"

"But how can the Song army enter the city with just the three of us?" Su Shuang looked puzzled?
