Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Xiao Zongyu and his lieutenant general planned for the night, and the new tactics agreed upon the next day, really coincided with what He Zhen expected earlier.

In the security area, He Zhen sent Xia soldiers to constantly harass, creating the illusion that the Xia army was attacking the stronghold. While exerting pressure on the defenders, they deceived the Song court into dispatching troops from a neighboring village to increase troops here. .

As a matter of fact, the [-] elite led by Xiao Zongyu will rush to Jinmingzhai area in the north of Yanzhou, and try to find another way by taking advantage of the careless mentality of the Song people.

As the gateway to the northern part of Yanzhou, Jinmingzhai has a total of 36 nearby villages, which can be easily echoed. Although Li Shibin, the capital supervisor, is not as famous as Cao Wei, he has also made countless military exploits in his military career for many years, which is extremely difficult. A solid barrier to break through.

Xiao Zongyu knew that Jinmingzhai would be difficult to break through a strong attack, but he suffered a heavy setback at Di Qing, and it was obvious that he did not match Xia Jiangxin's mask here. He urgently needed a big victory to wash away his humiliation, so he had to start from the difficult place.

In his opinion, the soldiers under Li Shibin's command were mainly recruited by the foreign soldiers, and all the secrets were guarded by the foreign soldiers.Since they are not of the same race, it is easier to take advantage of the contradiction that Li Shibin is harsh to his subordinates and make his subordinates dissatisfied, and gradually break through from within.

If the more important Jin Mingzhai can be taken down, no one will mention the defeat of the mere security guards.

Xiao Zongyu made such a plan, at noon the next day, he swept away nearly half of the supplies in Xia Village for military use, and then walked the path behind the mountain, and gradually advanced towards Jinming Village.

His act of forcibly appropriating a large amount of materials in Xiazhai angered Xia Jun again, but with He Zhen in control, they all dared not speak out.

Not only that, but they also had to suppress their anger, obey General He's deployment, and attack the gate of the village in Bao'an Valley again in order to disturb the sight of the Song army's investigation and cover up the fact that the Liao army was gradually withdrawing.

However, Di Qing, who was full of food and sleep and had been guarding the archery tower of the village gate since the early morning, confirmed yesterday's guess from the enemy's formation with just a glance.

Di Qing clearly remembers that whether it was the raid a few years ago or the confession of Zhao Shanyu who surrendered with his family, the army reorganized by Li Yuanhao was far more than what most people in the Song Dynasty thought, it was still there. At the level of cavalry archers, wandering around and looting.

Judging from the enemy's gait, attire, and location, Di Qing can distinguish the iron kite, the Qinsheng army, the Weirong army, the Poxi army in his impression, and the one who can best highlight Li Yuanhao's cruel nature... the son bump.

——This is the real Xia Jun.

Di Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, turned over neatly, kicked five times, and fell lightly from the tall archery tower to the ground.

He called Zhang Kang over and whispered a few words.

Zhang Kang showed astonishment and hesitation, hesitated for a long time, and then nodded emphatically.

"I will do as you please." Zhang Kang took a breath, and said decisively: "It's just that if you really need to be held accountable in the future, you can't bear it alone."

Di Qing was noncommittal: "Let's talk about it later."

Without waiting for Zhang Kang to say anything else, he had already climbed to the high platform and personally monitored every move of the approaching enemy army.

The guards of the Great Song Dynasty on the gate of the village were all tense with arrows in their hands, staring closely at the menacing enemy soldiers, preparing for a fierce battle.

However, as the enemy army got closer and closer, they could clearly see the faces of the soldiers walking in the front, and expressions of disbelief, fear, and anger appeared on the faces of many people.

How could they not recognize that the hundreds of people who were wrapped in tattered clothes and walked barefoot in the front in fear and pain were all the young and strong Song Dynasty who had been taken away before!

Over the years, Song people on the border have been frequently harassed and plundered by Xia's rangers, among which the capture army was the most vicious: not only took away money and food, but also kidnapped young and strong laborers, which weakened the village Its defense ability can also be used as a slave.

They never imagined that the Xia army would be so inhumane, forcing their suffering compatriots to walk unarmed in front of the army to act as shields, which is tantamount to forcing them to kill their compatriots first if they want to attack!

"It's really..." Seeing Xia Bing's smug grin, Zhang Kang was trembling with anger, and said through gritted teeth, "An inhuman and humiliating animal!"

"Beast?" Di Qing said coldly, "Don't insult the beast."

Although Di Qing had heard about this a little bit and had made sufficient mental preparations, seeing the tragic scene of the Song people being used as human shields and being driven in front of the battle with his own eyes still made him feel so angry.

"Fire the arrows first." Di Qing ordered with a poker face, "Aim for the third row."

The one in the front is the unarmed Mr. Zhuang, and the second row is the guard army, which is the children of Xia Guo's nobles. Only the seemingly inconspicuous Poxi Army hidden in the third row is the one who is most effective against the gate of the village. Threat of the stone cannon army.

Following Di Qing's order, arrows filled with overwhelming anger rained down, but the distance was far away, and not everyone could have Di Qing's accuracy and strength, so that most of them could not hold Xia who was in the back row. Bing, but the arrows that were knocked into the air, many of them hit Gong Gongzi, who was wearing ragged clothes, defenseless, and Xia Bing maliciously grabbed him and stood in front of him.

The compatriots screamed and watched this horrible and bloody scene with their own eyes. Although the military order to stop shooting had not yet been issued, many Song soldiers showed their faces and subconsciously stopped.

"Go ahead and shoot."

Di Qing ruthlessly gave the order, and took the lead in drawing the bow and setting the arrow, drawing it to the fullest while exhaling, the arrow flew out like a shooting star, and hit the neck of Splash Xijun, causing people to fall to the ground with a scream.

The military order was like a mountain, and after Di Qing's rigorous drill, even though he couldn't bear it, the soldiers still hardened their hearts and continued to shoot.

It's just that the accuracy this time is obviously worse than the previous wave.

Under Di Qing's compulsion, after several waves of shooting down, more than a dozen of the sons who were used as shields by Xia Bing died tragically under the arrows of their own side, and their bodies were also tragically abandoned on the muddy ground, and were forced to move forward. The advancing Xia soldiers trampled into flesh.

When there were more than [-] people left in Mr. Zhuang, Di Qing finally ordered all the soldiers to stop their arrows, and waved again: "Bring people up."

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers turned dark faces, and escorted the enemy soldiers who were tied up in five flowers and kept shouting to the height of the gate of the village, enough for Xia Bing to see.

Seeing this situation, He Zhen, who was in charge of the Chinese army, sneered, and commented disdainfully to the lieutenant general: "I still think he is so cruel and merciless, so I can't sit still?"

He didn't even need to guess. Di Qing couldn't control the scene, so he had no choice but to come up with the idea of ​​exchanging prisoners.

However, what Di Qing miscalculated was that the soldiers captured yesterday were all Liao soldiers, and none of them were Xia people.

Although Liaoxia is an ally, he is far from being close to blood. He is determined to torture the security guards, so how could he agree to exchange prisoners!

It's just that what Di Qing said next completely exceeded He Zhen's expectations.

Di Qing was dressed in a military uniform and a bronze mask, and stood proudly at the head of the village. He looked like a civil servant dancing with words and ink, and he was full of awe-inspiring warriors on the battlefield.

He slowly drew out the sword at his waist and put it on the body of a prisoner who was still yelling. The arm fell to the ground!

When the hot blood splattered, Di Qing calmly tilted his head, and completely avoided the momentum, only letting the hot blood spill all over the ground, but it didn't stain him at all.

Another sword slashed, and the other arm fell to the ground with bones and flesh, and blood gushed out.

Then, the left leg, the right leg...

Amidst the painful but gradually weakening screams of the wounded, Di Qing kicked the still-suffering torso off the head of the village after cutting the man alive into a human pig with only the torso left, and cried out again for mercy. Another surrender of the army came.

After witnessing the silent ferocity of the bronze-faced Song general, these captives no longer had the arrogance they had before. Under the threat of tragic death, they begged for mercy one after another. .

Di Qing was indifferent to this, and still only needed four strokes to cut off the limbs of the person and still remain on the ground.

He looked at the young masters with ashen faces, and his voice was a little low, but very penetrating, and his voice hit people's ears: "I swear to this——if I really want to be captured someday, I will be the first step!" If you sacrifice your life for the country, you will never sacrifice your life for Gou, but instead harm your brothers of the same clan."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if we can't bear to hurt our fellow clansmen and are afraid of fighting with the enemy, once the gate of the village is opened, the foreign thieves can drive straight in, send troops south, burn, kill and loot. At that time, all of you who are unarmed Where will relatives resist? And when the country is ruined and the family is destroyed, how can you escape the dead end if you are alive today!"

"There is no two perfect dharma in the world, Qing is incompetent, and cannot save you."

"But in my Great Song Dynasty, everyone is a good boy who stands up to the sky, and there is no one who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Di Qing took a deep breath, sonorously: "Every time you kill your son, I will cut a person alive in this village! "

Hearing Di Qing's words, Mr. Chong, who was originally pale and pale like a walking corpse, had a gleam of light in his eyes.

Since they were taken captive to Xia Kingdom, they have been enslaved without humanity, living a life that would be worse than death.Only by thinking about my loved ones can I survive till now.

Although the homeland is in front of them now, what greets them is only ruthless arrows and closed city gates, and the endless despair that followed.

Hearing the words of the general of the Song Dynasty, Fang Fan suddenly realized that - to this day, death is no longer to be feared.

What's even more frightening is that Xia Gou used it as a sharp weapon to stab his compatriots!

Most of Xia Bing didn't know Chinese, and didn't know what Di Qing shouted.

They were still immersed in the shock that the always soft Song people would kill a person alive in front of everyone at the head of the village, and they couldn't recover. Unprecedented momentum, regardless of being bound by ropes, came straight to the tip of his sword!

"Die——!!!!!!"

With the sound of "呲", the son's chest was pierced by a sharp sword, and he was still enduring the severe pain, and slammed into him like a madman until he knocked him to the ground, and he was completely gone. Only when he breathed out, his eyes widened, and he was crushed on him until death.

"madman!"

That Xia Bing suddenly encountered such a change, and subconsciously cursed this sentence.

However, this sudden change awakened all the dazed bumpkins.

When the Song people who had been enslaved by them became fearless of death and even took the initiative to seek death, Xia Bing no longer had the ability to threaten them.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Xia Jun's army was in disarray, Di Qing forcibly suppressed the trembling in his voice, and ordered to release arrows again.

Seeing that Mr. Zhuang, a sharp weapon that can disturb the opponent's army, was dispelled by Di Qing's few words, but it aroused the Song people's desire to die, and He Zhen, who rebelled against himself, was so angry that he immediately rushed forward, and personally shouted the last few. After beheading the young master, he yelled at Di Qinggao, the head of the village, in Chinese with a strong accent: "A joke! A lamb can be deceived by you and not be afraid of death, but you are afraid of death when you are a tiger or wolf?! If you have the courage, you can do it!" kill them all—”

"General He," Di Qing suddenly interrupted him in fluent party talk, and said coldly, "I'm afraid you are being generous to others!"

He Zhen was taken aback.

Di Qing's copper mask still looked ferocious, but it wasn't stained with any blood.

He leaned over and picked up the No. 4 prisoner who had been cut into a human pig. In front of everyone in the village, he tore off the blood-stained battle uniform on the prisoner's body, revealing the unique totem tattoo of the Liao people on his back.

Di Qing chuckled, looked at He Zhen with a gloomy face, and ruthlessly exposed the truth: "It seems that all of my captives are Liao people. Since you are Xia people, you don't need to care about the life and death of these three hundred Liao people... Seriously. Don't you need to care?"

The author has something to say: Notes:

Excerpt from: "If This Is Song History 3"

Starting from the civil strife among the Tubo people, Li Yuanhao was able to calmly reorganize the army, continuously annexed the Uyghurs, and constantly robbed the Tubo war horses. Coupled with the guidance of the Han Chinese think tank, until 1039 AD, his army was not only expanded, but also the types of troops. They have all begun to be classified, and they can no longer be limited by the plundering and sneak attacking combat effectiveness of the primitive prairie cavalry.

The army is divided into five types: Iron Harrier, Qinsheng Army, Wei Rong Army, Poxi Army, and Zhuang Gongzi.

The iron kite, also known as "Iron Forest", is the most elite unit of the Xixia cavalry, equipped with the best horses, the best armor and the best fighters. There are only 3000 people, and they are divided into 10 teams, each with 300 people. It is a combat group, use them to fight decisively in the chaotic and entangled battle situation;

The Qinsheng army is an original creation of the Xixia people. It is specially used to plunder the enemy's people in wars, a bit like the Khitan people fighting grass valleys.It's just that the Xixia people are poorer, and their desire for money and things makes them more aggressive.This force actually reached 10 people;

The Wei Rong Army is the imperial guard of the Xixia capital, with a total of 5000 people, all of whom are descendants of the nobles of Xixia.It is hard to estimate how powerful the combat power is. It is not known whether Li Yuanhao used them to guard the gate, or as hostages, threatening the nobles to submit.

Poxi army, this is artillery, shells are stones, different sizes, big ones are used to attack the city, small ones, the oncoming enemy must be careful, fist-sized stones are thrown in baskets, anything is very serious normal;

As for hitting the son, this is Li Yuanhao's label, which fully proves how despicable and shameless he is.

Mr. Zhuang is a strong man specially selected by him from the Han people. He has no weapons for them, and he drives them to the front whenever there is a war.What will happen is enough to imagine.If you want to cut the knife on the party members, you have to kill these brothers of the same clan first.
