[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

The next day, a large red notice was pasted at the entrance of the military compound where people come and go. On the top it clearly wrote [Supervised by the People] Below it was a list of donations from major merchants, when and what a certain family donated They were all clearly written, and there was a folded apology written by the Minister of the Ministry of War on the side, saying that it was hard to be kind but had to do it. These donated materials will be shipped out together with the next batch of goods.

Courtesy is light and affection is heavy, we don't encourage everyone to donate money to fight for wealth, in order to ensure the professionalism of transportation, we only accept the following types of materials, please do what you can.

The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, and then looked at the store that donated [-] cows as animal power at the top of the list, and their favorability rose sharply.

In the prosperous Song Dynasty, sensitive merchants immediately found that this was the best opportunity to advertise, especially if the goods they sold were related to the needs of the Ministry of War. The goods have been piled up, and until the donation is temporarily stopped, they have received a total of more than [-] shi from official donations and personal donations.

These goods were sent to the front line with the enthusiasm of the people of Song Dynasty.

On the border between Song and Liao, unlike what the Ministry of War Minister and most of the people thought, the battle between the Song and Liao armies was far from intense.Although the Song Army temporarily stopped outside the Liao Army's defense line, the officers and soldiers of the Song Army were extremely calm at this time. It can even be said that the more they fought, the calmer they became.

During the handover of soldiers many times before, the Song Vanguards were wearing plate armor, and their whole body was invulnerable to swords and arrows. They were wearing heavy armor, holding shields, and their whole body was armed to the ankles. Even the horses were protected by the armor. defend.

The Liao army also used crossbows as their main weapons for defending the city. The biggest weakness of crossbows is that they cannot be projected, so their shooting trajectory is relatively stable. A round can consume a batch of arrows.

Of course, the Liao army also sent cavalry to fight against them, but they don't know how the armor of the Song Dynasty was forged, and it was extremely hard. , The soldiers actually acted indifferently.

What's more, even cutting the horse with a saber couldn't elicit more reactions from it.

Arrows will be bounced when thrown up. In order to prevent this kind of international method, the people of Song Dynasty focused on strengthening the defense of the shoulders. Although the crossbow is effective, they have shield defense when shooting directly!That's right, they actually wore shields, these big dogs!

The common attack method used by them in the face of the same form of armor - the hammer had no effect, and Song Jun also showed no concern after hitting it.

What kind of heaven-defying armor is this!

Although this armor is extremely expensive at first glance, and it is so heavy that only cavalry can wear it, but for the Liao Kingdom, it is enough for their enemies to have a headache that they cannot break through.

If there is one, there can be two. If the Song Army can really arm such an army, Liaoding will face great difficulties.

Song and Liao had several encounters, but they were all defeated by the Song army's battle formation with iron shields in front and infantry and archers behind.

In order to cooperate with such a heavy cavalry, the Song army uncharacteristically mobilized a large number of archers instead of crossbowmen.

The coverage of its projection is extremely wide, and the landing point is more erratic. The archers covered by heavy cavalry suddenly hit the peak of their careers. Almost every arrow can take a life, but the Liao army's However, all the attacks of the archers were blocked outside.

The more mobile light cavalry and heavy cavalry were unable to charge under the pressure of dense bows and arrows. Even if they occasionally charged in front of them, the armored heavy cavalry held a shield in one hand and a gun in one hand, and their attack power was not low.

The archers all carried spears on their shoulders, and they used spears to attack in close combat. Although the Liao army occasionally won victories, most of them were defeated.

But in the current situation, General Liao was only a little surprised.

Frankly speaking, if the Song Army dared to attack Liao without any new gadgets, they would feel flustered. Now the Song Army has revealed its secret weapon as soon as it gets started... It's just mediocre.

After several encounters, the Liao army retreated behind the city wall, condescendingly watching the Song army arrayed outside its range.

The guard of the Liao army is surnamed Xiao, and he is the same branch of the current empress Xiao Bodhisattva. Because he has some relationship with the empress, he naturally has more sources of information than others.

In addition, General Xiao has been stationed here for a long time, and his information channels are naturally much wider than others. For example, he knows what happened to the son of King Taiping opposite him.

Prince Taiping had seen through the weakness of the Song Kingdom long ago, turned to the light, and wanted to unite with the Liao Kingdom to overthrow the rule of the little emperor of the Song Dynasty. He was the one who contacted him, so he knew very well that the legend was just the missing little prince. There must have been an accident.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty was so cruel, how could he let go of a prince who wanted to rebel?

If you want him to say that Lord Song is extremely stupid, he even appointed King Taiping as the coach when he had already murdered Prince Taiping's son.

No, maybe that's not the case. He rubbed his chin and felt that it was very possible that Lord Song's real purpose was to abolish King Taiping through war. He might have let King Taiping go before to show his kindness. After a while, who knows, he regretted it later, so he deliberately set up a trap for King Taiping to drill himself.

The general made up many terrible plots in his mind, and frightened himself to the point of smashing his tongue. Although King Taiping blocked them for several years, the men of Liao Kingdom always respected heroes. Heroes like King Taiping, as enemies He also admires him.

Seeing that the hero is about to die in a scheme now, he certainly feels a little indescribable, but this emotion is only for a moment, but after a while, he turns to think about what it means for the Liao Kingdom.Although heroes cherish heroes, as far as the enemy's heroes are concerned...the dead heroes are good heroes.

The spies have found out that Emperor Song had sent a supervising army to the Taiping Army before, and the various changes in the Taiping Army since then were also due to the randomness of the supervising army.General Xiao bet with his more than ten years of experience in the political arena that there must be a rift between the two, and that King Taiping must have been treated unfairly, otherwise, which army leader would be able to endure others criticizing his army and change this situation?

And this suspicion is what they can catch.

Although they are defending the city now, it does not mean that the Liao army is at a disadvantage.

Since ancient times, the rules are good, and the attack is bad. What's more, as an important frontier town, there are sufficient material reserves, behind it is the vast hinterland support of the Liao Kingdom, and the grain roads in the north are unblocked. Not to mention the work of three or two days.

Although the real number of the Song army that the spies came to inquire about exceeded General Xiao's expectations, but based on his judgment on the strength of his city wall, he was afraid that the number would have to be doubled to be hopeful.General Xiao can proudly say that under his defense, it would be impossible for Song Guo to break through this pass in a year or two. The question is, can Song Guo last for a year or two?Of course not.

Even so, he still scolded in his heart every day the officials in the court who had a convulsion and raised bait to provoke others. If it wasn't for them, how could the people of Song Dynasty give it a go?On the other hand, he was also silently playing small things in his heart, thinking about what benefits he could seek for the frontier army after this war.

As the saying goes, as long as there are wild rabbits, dogs will have bones to eat. If Song Guo hadn't let go to attack them this time, the material declaration he asked for this time would not have been handed in so quickly.

From the high city wall, General Xiao could see that the Song army began to receive supplies from the other side beyond the range of the shooting range. He squinted at the row wheels shuttling on the Baigou River, his brown eyes narrowed slowly, and he came up with an idea. idea.

The rainy season is coming soon, if we find a way to seal the river upstream to store water, and then suddenly blow up the dam...and let the river destroy the Song Army's backup force, then the Song Army will be like a flat boat in the ocean, Can we just let them round and flatten?

He calculated the number of people in the Song army below, and the military ranks they represented, and he thought this was the best way.It's a pity that I need the cooperation of the upstream people, and the time and place are right, but now it's too late.

However, it is not necessarily impossible. There is a lot of rain this year, maybe the rainy season can come earlier?

Thinking about it, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance. At this time, he squinted at a rough board house that Song Jun had put together with a few neat wooden boards on the river bank, and then stuffed some goods into it.

Oh wow.

He squinted his eyes, and locked on the location of the prefab house at a glance. It must be the place where Song Jun's grain and grass were piled up. Such a building is too conspicuous. Isn't it too stupid to be handsome?

He gestured from the prefabricated house to the location of the city wall. Unfortunately, he found that even the most powerful firearms could not bring the flames there. Otherwise, the Song army's granary would be burned down. I don't know how they would react. .Now the Song army must be heavily guarded... Well, why not send a death squad in a few days...

With a light click, he descended the city wall to signal martial law for the entire army.

It was night, and Yongqing City, which had not fought today, fell into a rare tranquility. The soldiers guarding the city on the city wall patrolled back and forth holding torches.

In the night, they could only see the flames beating in Song Jun's camp from a distance.

"How is it?" A small captain from the Liao Kingdom asked a young man who was listening to the echoes from a masked urn buried in the ground, "Is there any movement from the Song Army?"

"No." The young man said softly, he raised his eyebrows to carefully catch all kinds of sounds coming from the urn, especially paying attention to whether there was the sound of digging.

Although when the city wall was built, the three feet underground were all made of bricks and stones, but the Song army was cunning, and it could not be ruled out that they decided to go down more than three feet to dig through the city wall and sneak into the city.Therefore, since the day of defending the city, soldiers have been monitoring the underground situation at various nodes every day.

"It's fine," the team leader breathed out. He rubbed his hands to look at the sky, then glanced at the brothers around him, and said, "Hey, hey, everyone should be more alert!" He walked over, one by one. After taking pictures of Liao Bing, who had already started to doze off, his head bouncing back and forth, "I want to sleep after changing shifts."

"Boss, it's going to be all right," a soldier let out a big breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "Look, there are insects screaming outside. If the Song army wants to make a surprise attack, It will definitely startle the little flying insects in the grass, the insects are so loud, they must be silent.”

"How much do you know?" The boss patted him on the head again, and reprimanded, "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. The Song army is cunning, and there are many people in the south who can serve poisonous insects." , Maybe they won't find a way to make the bugs still scream when they get close."

"There is such a method?" The little soldier's eyes widened in surprise, and he said excitedly and curiously, "Boss, tell us, I have never been to the Song Dynasty when I grow up."

"Tell me a fart", the boss scolded a few words, and finally saw that the soldiers on the side surrounded him, and even those who hadn't came turned their ears to listen curiously, the sense of vanity in his heart exploded, and he coughed a few times After the sound, I still didn't pull back and said that I hadn't actually been there. After all, he was the boss, so he could only make nonsense.

"Have you all eaten pork meat?" He got answers in twos and threes. During the honeymoon period between Song and Liao, the amount of pork exported by Song State was also quite large. Fall in price.

After a long time, no matter how expensive pork is, more and more people have eaten it. Now pork has become a slightly expensive luxury, and these soldiers can eat it a few times during the Chinese New Year.

The leader of the Liao country snorted and said, "The pigs in the Song country are fatter than the pigs in our Liao country. Have you ever thought about why? Oh, because the water there is good and the feng shui is good. In the same way, the women in the Song country are too. She is gentler than the women in the Northland, the tender skin on this body can turn red when pinched, and the watery texture is smoother than silk," he even flipped through the description to make the soldiers under the tent very excited. Repeatedly questioning, almost forced this little leader who is also single to speak obscenely on the spot.

These guys are stationed here, not to mention the girls from the Song Dynasty, even the girls from the Liao Kingdom have not seen a few, they are all young guys with strong firepower, and the mention of girls excites them the most.

The team leader who knew this well said a few more words, and seeing that the spirit of these young people was completely mobilized, he encouraged him, "You have won this battle, and when the time comes, we will kill you across the river and grab a piece for yourself." Isn't it more interesting for a beautiful daughter-in-law to come back than to listen to me?"

Oh! !

What he said made the soldiers clamor, because they were talking lively, the little soldier who monitored the underground movement also raised his head. Although his movements remained unchanged, in fact, all his energy was reserved for the squad leader. , and at this moment, he lost the opportunity to capture the fatal movement, and it was destined that they would tilt the battle because of this small mistake.

The two or three hours before sunrise are the most drowsy time of the day.

The enthusiastic soldiers of the Song Dynasty provided a free morning call service.

They used the huge sound of falling rocks to start the horn of the first siege.

I don't know when the Song State Catapult Team lurking under the city locked their eyes tightly on the commander's place, and there was a pair of small sticks there, shining green light in the dark night, following the commander's The hand movement, which formed one simple figure after another in the air, was captured by the soldiers guarding the trebuchet and turned into body movements.

Even the defenders of the Liao army who fell under the falling boulder fell into a panic. It was night at this time, and they could not see the falling rock at all, and it was too late when they saw it. Otherwise, they can only throw the weapons prepared to attack the climbers into the city indiscriminately.

Such an inaccurate attack, apart from providing sufficient throwing resources for the lower head, naturally did not get any response from the Song army.

Song Jun's night attack was beyond everyone's expectations, and surprise was the main reason.

Since the Song army landed in large numbers, their every move has fallen into the eyes of the Liao army, so until now the Liao soldiers still can't figure it out-where did the Song people get their catapults?

If they survived until the end of the battle, they would find that the place where they thought the food was stored was actually a simple workshop, where the original parts of the catapult were disassembled and sent here, where they were assembled by artisans accompanying the army.

Its purpose was to catch the Liao army by surprise, and in order to achieve this goal, the Song army conducted a lot of night combat training, especially the catapult team. Compared with other troops, this difficulty required them the most.

Because they want to ensure the most perfect strike strength, they have to get up in the dark for training almost every day.

In the end, they have to listen to the breathing of their partners to know how far away they are from each other, but this is not enough. They need to take on the role of assisting the soldiers who are attacking the city. Above the enemy's head, if it is possible to seal off the enemy's rescue route without adding a defensive burden to one's own troops, how can such a task be completed without being able to see it?

In this era of generally poor night vision, they can only recommend a person with the best vision, and then everyone's tasks must follow his command.

This person is the brain of the entire catapult team, while the other players are the limbs.

They hand over the act of thinking to the brain, and then devote themselves to completing the tasks assigned by the brain.

In order to achieve the goal that everyone can silently "hear" this person's command at night, their white supervisor directly ground a night pearl, glued the pearl fragments to the wooden stick, and made two "light sticks" .”

It is relying on this light, which is slightly brighter than that of fireflies, to guide their progress.

The trebuchet team backed away slowly. They needed to widen the angle and throw the stones deep into the city. At this time, the city wall was full of flames, and the Song people who had been fighting under the fire light succeeded in taking all the torches and oil lamps used by the Liao people for lighting. When it was extinguished, the lamp oil spilled on the city wall, and when no one took care of it, fires ignited one after another.

At this time, some advance troops began to build ladders under the moonlight. This was the first time the Song army attacked the wall. The soldiers of the Liao Kingdom who were still alive on the wall immediately ran to the wall and tried to throw down the blocking vessels. In just one round of random attack, all these things have been thrown away.In desperation, they could only throw all the things they could throw, including the stones sent up by the Song army just now, and even the corpses of their comrades-in-arms had no time to worry.

Is Song Jun crazy?

The soldiers of the Liao Kingdom gritted their teeth and resisted while cursing in their own dialects in their hearts. How could someone forcibly climb the city on the first day of attacking the city?I'm afraid I'm going crazy because I want to make money!It turned out that the first move was the style of play with the highest casualty rate!

But it was really effective, because the generals of the Liao Army followed the routine actions of defending the city, and placed the key defensive forces at the gate of the city and various narrow passages, and they were only routinely arranged on the city wall.

Song Jun's actions now caught him by surprise.

Catapults continuously threw boulders into the city. The officers and soldiers adjusted the angle and threw the trajectory of the stones from the city wall into the city, intending to block the Liao soldiers who came to rescue.

The loud noise was enough to deter most of the auxiliary soldiers, and the floor tiles shattered by falling rocks successfully tripped many people in the dark night. Even the soldiers who charged up the city wall were unable to successfully organize an effective counterattack.

A ladder was set up, and the stormtroopers rushed up against the enemy's attack. At this moment, they had no other thoughts in their minds, only two words "climb the wall!"

They must climb up, even if they are drenched in fire or hit by stones, they must climb up, even if they can't climb up, they must protect the brothers below from more damage.

One, two, three, and repeated sacrifices, finally the first Han soldier climbed up the tower, and saw him climbing the wall with one hand, and took the sharp knife that was bitten by his own teeth with the other hand, and a horizontal batch cut the just Realizing his existence, the Liao Bing cut his hands open, but the Liao Bing gritted his teeth and tried to push down his ladder with his bloody severed hand. An arrow galloped out between lightning and flint, and stabbed the Liao Bing between the eyebrows. , the Liao soldiers struggled for a while, but still fell on the city wall.

The Han soldiers only felt that someone pushed him from behind, and the bloody soldiers rushed up the tower. His appearance immediately ushered in a swarm of Liao troops, and the nearby Liao soldiers rushed up to kill him. , Han Bing blocked the decisive blow with the small shield equipped on his arm, but he only felt a sharp pain in his right eye. He didn't make any sound, but his breathing stopped suddenly, and then his breathing became short.

Every soldier who climbed the wall had a cork in his mouth, and after taking out his saber, he pushed the cork against his teeth with his tongue.

The task assigned by Shangfeng is that they must ensure absolute silence when climbing the wall, even if they throw something from above, they must not let out a cry of pain. It is a moment to be able to cheat. The plug was bitten by him before, but now it is almost It was broken in two, and if the soldiers in front of him hadn't sacrificed one after another, he wouldn't have bitten to make preparations for climbing the wall No. 1.

But now, he still didn't make a sound. After he got on the city wall, he no longer had the requirement to keep quiet, but he wanted to take the opportunity to kill as many people as possible, and to cover his brothers more, so he drew the knife again. The cork pushed back.

The man slashed with a horizontal knife, and he opened a hole in the enemy's neck, but he himself was stabbed in the chest and abdomen, and this shot nailed him to the city wall.

He held on to the long spear stabbed in his body. The Liao soldier who tried to draw the gun was beheaded by his colleagues who followed up on the wall, and he was exhausted, so he had to fall and sit on the edge of the city wall.

His colleagues didn't look at him, but all the people who went up to the wall were prepared to go up, they wouldn't look at him, they wouldn't save him, and he wouldn't save the previous one.

Their responsibility is to use all of themselves to illuminate the way forward for future generations.

If there is no road, they use their own bodies to build it. Each of them marches on the corpses of their colleagues. The road to breaking the city is a bloody road piled up with corpses.

However, they are as happy as rain.

He narrowed his eyes, and the location chosen by the man faced the south, which was his hometown, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, was his somewhat poor but extremely happy small village.

It was just a flash flood that completely destroyed it. He lost his home and joined the army. Since then, the barracks has been his home.

King Taiping is a good prince, Bai Jianjun is a good supervisor, and the emperor is also a good emperor. This is the reason why he devoted his life to it.

He was just a cowherd boy, who later became a planer. He didn't understand the feelings of family and country, but he thought that the general said that this place was theirs, so he came here.

He had no family, so he replaced the one who had family. The one who fell in front of him was their team leader. Before he left for the expedition, he asked a brother he knew to leave a picture for all of them. This picture was given to the The youngest child in their team, this child was left in the camp to guard the equipment and did not come.

Before the expedition, everyone agreed that whoever survives to the last will be responsible for giving them a little incense on the Qingming and Winter Solstice, and then tell them whether they have taken the last place, and if they have money, they will give them a few more glasses of water The wine is complete.

The sky slightly to the east has already turned pale, and his position is very quiet, all the fighting has gone away from him, and now he feels an unprecedented tranquility.

He spat out the cork in his mouth with the last bit of strength, but he was in a good mood.

With a breathy voice, he slowly sang the song that had been circulating in his mind from the very beginning. It was that song that inspired him to charge forward. He ran out of strength, so he just sang the last two lines. By the way, that word What is it?He is not smart, but my good brother has taught him many times.

"I would like to... defend the land and open up the frontiers." The young man's voice was hoarse, not so much that he uttered the sound, but rather that he was speaking in a breathy voice, "Dangtang, China, let the Quartet..."

In the end, he still failed to sing those two words, and he had to close his eyes forever in the first morning light.

But his comrade-in-arms completed these two words for him.

"Hey..." Chen Xi pointed out the direction for the trebuchet pair. They immediately adjusted the angle and threw the falling rocks on the city wall where the crossbow machine and arrow tower were located. The precise strike relieved the comrades a lot of burden. .

"Ah——" the sharp iron round head of the ramming car slammed into the city gate that was as thick as a palm, and these men's muscles collapsed under the hot water poured from above, "Do it again!"

"One more time!!"

"To break!!"

"boom--"

"All soldiers obey orders!"

The general of the Song Dynasty who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time raised his spear in his hand, "The gate of the city has been broken, and follow me—"

"Rush! Rush! Rush!"

The young generals clamped their horses, followed the main general, and then rushed towards the city gate that had just been broken. The impact force of the cavalry was brought to the extreme. Come.

The light cavalry charged, and the infantry followed closely behind. The Liao army quickly gave up the yidaomen and retreated to the second gate. The catapult threw stones directly on the city wall. During this period, the infantry and light cavalry finished harvesting the soldiers on the outer city wall. They lined up behind and watched quietly as the catapult finally broke the city wall.

On May [-]th of the ninth year of Tiansheng, Liaoyongqing city was broken.

Afterwards, the other two armies broke Xincheng and Wuqing City in camera, and the third army landed on the bank of the Gaoliang River with the two naval forces that successfully landed.

The Fourth Army and the Ninth Route Army followed by the Five Route Army Association surrounded Xijin Mansion in Nanjing, Liaoning, and went to besiege the city to fight for aid. During this time, Xijin Mansion tried to break out of the siege several times but ended in failure.

The strange thing is that the Liao soldiers who came to rescue Xijin Mansion came weaker and weaker. Just when the Song army was on guard against the accident, they suddenly found that the Liao soldiers suddenly lost their fighting spirit.

At the beginning of June, Liao Emperor Yelulongxu died.

On July [-]th, the general guard of the Analysis Jin Mansion surrendered.

After discussion, the general decided to leave an army here to collect the follow-up forces, and the rest of the army continued to take the land deeds left to them by the Liao Emperor.However, the Liao people are not trustworthy, and they didn't leave them a land deed at all. If that's the case, why hesitate?Keep on ducking!

On September [-]th, the Song army broke through Tanzhou.

In the same month, a group led by young generals attacked Jizhou.

Until the successor Liao Emperor Yelu Zongzhen and the Empress Dowager Daliao sent an invitation for peace talks to stop the war and cease the war, the Song Army had taken the five prefectures of You, Ji, Zhuo, Tan, and Shun with lightning speed, together with the prefectures that were already in the hands of the Song Army. The two prefectures of Ying and Mo, and the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun recovered seven of them.All the land lost to the east of the Taihang Mountains in the North China Plain was returned.

The news spread back to Song State, and the whole country was boiling.

During the period, people from the Song Dynasty came here voluntarily, many of them were rich and powerful, there were also locals who left the place due to disasters, and there were people who supported the army.

Many residents who followed the procession of the two princes to the north brought their ancestral tablets.

When they crossed the Baigou River and saw the original location of the boundary monument of the Song Dynasty, but there was only a pit left here, they had a sense of reality.

Since there is no boundary monument here, it is natural that even if you cross this pit, it is still Song land, so what about the boundary monument?Where did the boundary marker go?Naturally, it went further north, where it should be.

For this reason, the pit was not filled in for several years, until the housekeeper who accidentally heard the news also ordered the pothole to be left, and shaped railings around it to preserve this place.

I'm back, I'm really back, this is my Han land again!

This is my Han nationality again!

Really, really back.

They were all resounding men, but at this moment they were crying like tears.

Those who were good at rhetoric and Fu even wrote here while wiping their tears, and a few old scholars looked at the Baigou River that was rolling away in the rainy season and said in a polite way, "This river was originally called Juma, but now Juma does not refuse. Ma hahaha" smiled, but wiped away tears.

Since some people immediately burned sacrificial texts on the ground as a reminder to the ancestors, Xia Anran and Zhao Yuanyan arrived in Tanzhou where the peace talks were agreed to be in such an atmosphere.

This place is located at the northernmost end of the border between Song and Liao today. As a victorious country, Song State naturally straightened its spine. The officers and soldiers of Liao State who were still in the territory looked at the officers and soldiers of Song State who were stationed wantonly and wanted to stare out their eyes. However, they It was soon discovered that the local Han people maintained a subtle welcome gesture for the arrival of the officials of the Song Dynasty.

This made the local county magistrate almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

During Song Zu's Northern Expedition, the Han people here responded with great enthusiasm, and they almost failed to make things happen. Therefore, after that, the Liao Kingdom invested heavily in local education. It was originally thought to be very effective, but now it is discovered that these people have not surrendered at all. Their usual docile posture is just coping!

Xia Anran stepped off the carriage slowly, he was bathed in the eyes of the crowd with unclear meaning, looked up at the name of the city, Tanzhou, Chanzhou, just a side difference, but it only made countless people deeply feel that fate has tricked people .

Although the former brought peace for a long time, it put a lot of economic burden on Song State and the pressure of raising tigers. Although it did not cede land and pay compensation, it was still called the disgrace clause later.

the latter……

He pursed his lips slightly, showing a fighting smile.

"Sir!" Xia Anran followed the prestige, and saw a young man riding a horse against the light.

Bai Yutang was dressed in armor, which no longer had the casual appearance in Bianjing. His armor had been polished to a shiny finish, but upon closer inspection, many knife marks could be seen on it. These marks showed the tough battles the master had faced.

The young man got off his horse, bowed his hands to Xia Anran, the determination in his brows became stronger, "Sir, we are lucky to live up to our fate."

The author has something to say: These two pictures are all based on Jingzhong Baoguo code, and sometimes tears come down.

I saw a baby in the comment area yesterday who has already interpreted it!You guys are awesome.

In fact, there are also memories of the author in this song. I forgot about the class in college. The teacher gave a good lecture. It was the kind of big class with two classes, and then suddenly assigned a social task and asked to sing patriotic songs. .

Then the fourth girl in the first dormitory of the main building had a headache, because the regulations at that time were that mainstream songs were not allowed to sing, that is, "I Love You China" and "Unity is Strength" were not allowed to sing. !

Because it was a free group, we didn't find anyone else, so we started flipping through the playlist.

Although I was still a green college student at the time, honey songs always appeared in the author's playlist, and then I suddenly thought of this song, so I played it for the girls to listen to, and it was unanimously approved!But I didn’t expect that the group we performed before was the Yellow River chorus with more than 20 people who directly formed a poetry recitation. It was so powerful and accompanied by a soundtrack.

When we were on stage, our hearts were really empty. At that time, there seemed to be some problems with the song and we couldn’t play it for a while, so we just sang a cappella.

Just imagine, four girls, a large lecture theater, singing a cappella...that's really...

It's the feeling of being forced to go to Liangshan by pinching the corner of your clothes.

But as I started singing, my voice soared all the way.

The four of us are all non-artistic dead-studies. In fact, after we came down, we were all slapped on our chests. At that time, we sang louder and louder, and the more we sang, the bolder we sang. after the beat.I can also see the smiling faces of my classmates, and some people encourage me, especially the boys sitting in the front row to beat us.

After stepping down, some people whispered that they actually thought we sang better than the Yellow River chorus because it was more emotional, hahaha~

In fact, I am very grateful to that teacher. That class and that period of time feel like the few pictures I still remember in college after so many years-it is really a good memory.

But frankly speaking, I didn’t know the specific history of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time. I only knew that it was about Yue Fei.

In my 20s, I probably only understand the passion of "a dignified China, let the Quartet come to congratulate."

It was not until later, after graduation, that I probably gradually realized that "tolerance of sighs and more speechless blood and tears" is the most painful thing to feel.But now, the reason why we can sing this song with pride rather than regret is that there are countless ancestors "buried in a foreign land".

It’s almost like this. I can’t express the complexity of listening to this song. After all, the author is not good at playing emotional scenes (cough), and I am a person with a rough nerve.

Heck, say it right

When attacking a city, you generally don’t go directly up the ladder, which consumes too much. The main thing is to besiege first, consume its vitality, and then attack with fire or water, or dig holes under the city wall secretly.Anyway, there are relatively few TV dramas that directly attack the city gate and climb the wall.

But we have trebuchets.

there are many trebuchets

There are many, many trebuchets...

So...ahem.

The effect of the trebuchet is not simply throwing stones!In fact, they can throw anything, such as poop... (hey) lit asphalt bags, coal, corpses, whatever, anyway, the deterrent effect of the catapult is higher than the actual attack effect, of course, this is in the case of firearms and counterweights Catapults (as used in this article) were invented and improved upon.

After excluding the influence of manpower (in the old version, many people pull different ropes and pull it down at once), it can guarantee a kind of precise strike. Of course, this is not a panacea.

If you want to attack the city wall, you need firearms.

In fact, Song already had firearms... (rubbing claws) But the author is an author who does not follow the usual path. I want to save my firearms for use in the Ming Dynasty (hey!!) The author wants to tell you!No firearms!You can win by relying on technology points!

About plate armor.

What I made in this article is not iron plate armor, but actually steel plate armor. This level of technology is already the terminal of the plate armor industry. This is not the semi-finished product in Europe when Genghis Khan fought in Europe, so it is not a problem to resist arrows. In theory, it is still Can carry primary firearms.

Previously tinkering with refractory bricks was for one-step molten iron steelmaking and molten steel casting.

If the iron plate armor is very weak, there is not much pressure to face the iron arrow.

Of course, this is not invincible. No armor can stop such a big killer like the three-bow bed crossbow.
