Chapter 232 The City of Kings (Part 2)
Zhao Kuangyin said with a gloomy face: "Can Jin Temple Water."
He blocked the Jin Temple water first, filled the moat, then released the accumulated flood and poured it into the city. He only said four words, and someone went to execute it below. Song Jiu asked carefully: "Do you want to dig again?"
"Dig, why not dig, but don't really dig."
"I understand."
This time, it was not to dig tunnels to bomb the city wall, but to lure the enemy into division of troops. Although the city was well prepared, it would be somewhat frightened. The quantitative change eventually turned into a qualitative change. After exceeding the psychological limit of the military and civilians in the city, they would surrender.
It is very convenient to irrigate the Jin Temple water. It blocks the moat during the day and quietly fills the Jin Temple water at night. When it is found that something is wrong in the city, it starts to fill the water gate. Just as it is about to fill, the Jin Temple water opens, and the flood rolls down, drowning countless soldiers and people.
Song Jiu murmured: "Where is the one who is not in charge of the army?"
War is so cruel.
However, the good news finally came. The Fen River was blocked, and the water level gradually rose. The water surface was not high from the top of the city. People were riding a boat and approaching the city wall. They hooked their hands up. Fortunately, the southeast of the city, that is, Zhao Kuangyin personally supervised the battle in the southeast of the city.
Song Jiu also came to the southeast.
This long dike was designed by him and Chen Chengzhao and students. It was very scientific. First of all, it should not be short. If you are short, you cannot reach the city head or high. It is best if you can overflow some short city walls. But don’t forget that the Song people could add the city walls, and the Northern Han could also add the city walls, but the water was rushing downwards. The Northern Han used mud to block the city heads, but how big the project would be to the south? That was not a one-month effort, but it would be several months and half a year. Moreover, the higher the water level line, the firmer the long dike should be.
The height must be moderate.
Seeing Song Jiu calculating, Zhao Kuangyin was filled with emotion and said, "Who said that learning about matter is a path?"
Can this be used even when you are in the moment?
Now from the southeast, Taiyuan City is like an isolated island floating on the sea. Song Jiu murmured: "Will you not surrender like this?"
Zhao Kuangyin ordered the siege.
His brave general Wang Yanyi, the head of the capital of the cavalry and infantry, personally slammed it, and boarded the boat and led his subordinates to attack Taiyuan City. The Taiyuan attack and defense battles were too frustrated, and the Song army fired real fire one by one, especially these brave generals. He also learned from the party and was eager to make contributions. He even got on the boat without even putting on the armor. As a result, arrows fell like rain on the head of Beihan City. An arrow shot into his brain and killed him on the spot. Again, Shi Hanqing also boarded the boat, and the arrows were still falling like rain on the head of Taiyuan City. It seemed that his hand was hooked and he could reach the head of Taiyuan City. But after a day, thousands of boats competed, but no one successfully climbed to the head of the city, and instead broke two generals.
Seeing the soldiers lifting Shi Hanqing's body down, Song Jiu felt mixed feelings. This kid finally died. But he died to the point. He said he was happy, but he died bravely and could not put into the grudges of the past. He said he was unhappy, this guy died. Song Jiu lost one more harm. Otherwise, he would have muttered in front of Zhao Kuangyin every day. Now he finally knew that Zhao Kuangyin was not a person who did not kill people, but killed many ministers. Whether civil officials or military generals, especially corrupt officials, some ministers died unjustly or were demoted unjustly.
Song Jiu is solemn.
Zhao Kuangyin glanced at him, and Song Jiu said, "It is great for a person to die, General Shi sacrificed his life for the country. He died as his place."
"Whoever has no mistakes is there, too. You have it. If you pick the wrong one, how can I use people to choose the big one and abandon the small one."
"yes."
"Han Qing has been with me for many years and is loyal. He did not expect to be buried here. I did not understand the slaughter of Chuzhou before, but I finally understood it today." But he saw the tragic phenomenon of Chuzhou in person. Although he wanted to slaughter Taiyuan, he never issued an edict.
Suddenly, a burst of cheers came from far and near.
Zhao Kuangyin was shocked and sent people to inquire. After a while, several little yellow soldiers looked back and reported the truth. Zhang Qiong died in a very unfair way. He enforced the law fairly and strictly, because Shi Hanqing killed him alive, and the imperial soldiers dared not speak out. Later, Zhao Kuangyin asked Shi Hanqing to take charge of the capital, and held his kindness and was unhappy. The imperial soldiers lived very unhappy under his command. There was also Yang Lin on it, but Yang Lin pretended to be mute all day long and could say anything fair. Hearing that Shi Hanqing died, he was all happy.
Xiao Huangmen did not dare to mention Zhang Qiong's death, so he only talked about the back.
Song Jiu lowered his head, which was equivalent to 100,000 injunctions slapped Zhao Kuangyin in the face. He wanted to laugh in his heart but didn't dare to laugh.
Zhao Kuangyin was extremely angry and asked Shi Hanqing, Lao Shi Wande to retire to relieve the anger in the imprisoned soldiers. At this time, those who needed the imprisoned soldiers' morale were attacked again the next day, but they still did not capture them.
There is another chance.
Taiyuan was in a hurry, and Guo Wuwei was ready to escape to the Song Dynasty. However, he was too wild and did not plan to escape like this. He also wanted to take two brave generals, one was Yang Ye and the other was Guo Shoubin. Once these two generals left, Taiyuan would be destroyed. So he asked Liu Jiyuan that this would not work. The old minister planned to take Liu Guo and two generals to attack the Song army at night. Liu Jiyuan also believed it and selected one thousand people, with Yang Guo as the deputy general. Liu Jiyuan went to Yanxia Gate to see him off.
Just after crossing the North Bridge, Guo Wuwei looked at something wrong behind him. No one asked Yang Ye where he was. Yang Ye said that the horse was injured and could not go out to fight and took his troops back to the city. This is a reason. When asked Guo Shoubin again, Guo Shoubin's reason was even more shady. He said that the sky was dark and he was wandering around Taiyuan City and lost his direction. Taiyuan City was big, but in the end, it was in Taiyuan City. He stayed every day and could he still lose his direction in the city? In fact, these two generals realized that something was wrong. However, the emperor's edict asked them to leave the city and had to go out. They each found a reason to refuse.
At this time, Guo Wuwei stood on the north bridge, and was Cao Bin's subordinates a few hundred steps forward, but he didn't dare to walk. He couldn't walk. Could he lead dozens of subordinates to attack the camp? As long as he took one step forward, he would be attacking the camp, obviously a defector. I believe that if he didn't take ten steps, the arrows on the top of the city would turn him into a hedgehog.
Guo Wuwei had to go back to the city.
At that moment, he was still having a good dream, so he didn't use it too much. As long as he escaped, or had the ability to win over one or two trusted officials, Zhao Kuangyin rewarded him, and several people were riding the morale of the Northern Han Dynasty on a boat outside the city, and then it wiped out the morale of the Northern Han Dynasty bit by bit, and maybe a miracle would happen.
But he had always wanted to make contributions to the Song Dynasty, so he persuaded Liu Jiyuan to surrender again. Liu Jiyuan was not stupid. Thinking about his inexplicable attack on the camp the night before yesterday, a trace of cold flashed in his eyes. Guo Wuwei was unaware, but Degui, the little yellow guard of Liu Jiyuan, saw Liu Jiyuan's eyes. He said that Guo Wuwei was against him. Liu Jiyuan issued an edict to kill Guo Wuwei. A dignified prime minister, entrusted an important official to be killed. The city of Taiyuan was actually quiet.
Liu Jiyuan hung Guo Wuwei's body on the top of the city.
Zhao Kuangyin took a cold look and said nothing. Everything was caused by this person. Without this person, he would not change his strategy and would not be difficult to make a fortune.
The second May is coming.
The flood outside Taiyuan City was flooded. Entering from Yanxiamen Wucheng, passing through two outer cities and pouring into the city, just like the Yellow River breaking the dike, the white waves rolling into the city. The people in the city were shocked. The Northern Han had to send people to build the dike and build the barrier. Not far away, the Song army stood on the boat and fired volleys, preventing the Northern Han from setting up the barrier successfully. So the breach became larger and larger, and at this time, Taiyuan City was very dangerous. Once the breach became dozens of meters wide, the entire city wall would fall down, the turbid waves in Taiyuan City were empty, and the Song boat entered together, and Taiyuan would no longer be protected.
While everyone was watching and preparing to attack the city at any time, suddenly bundles of grass floated from the city. The soldiers hid behind the grass to construct. The grass in front not only blocked the water momentum, but also became the best cover, and the gap was blocked in a while.
Lu Yuqing murmured: "It's so evil."
But the Northern Han did something stupid under the successful defense. The Fen River in the east of Taiyuan City, and now it is a ground lake in the south. Longshan in the west and mountain in the north, but the mountains in the north are narrow and inconvenient. Therefore, the siege equipment and other places are placed in Zhao Zan in Xiying. They all thought Zhao Zan was a soft persimmon. They were more delicious, and all the elites in the city were trying to break through the Xiying Camp and burn these siege equipment. This time there was no good fruit. Staying in the city, the Song army had no choice but to die. When they left the city, the Song army fought in the Xiying Camp. The Northern Han army was defeated, and one-third of the soldiers were killed on the spot, which cost nearly ten thousand soldiers in one battle.
However, Taiyuan City still stood no matter what. Zhao Kuangyin sent sailors to burn the southern city gate in a boat, but he still couldn't capture Taiyuan City. The most deadly thing was that the Khitans came, and the old minister Wei Renpu also died of a broken belly disease.
Breathbreaking is caused by some mild malaria-related diarrhea.
Not much harm.
The weather was extremely abnormal. First, a spring rain trapped in Luzhou. When the rain stopped, it became hotter. When it arrived at the city of Taiyuan, it was rainy in summer and the army was stuck on the wet grass. Therefore, many soldiers suffered from abscessed disease. It was not as serious as malaria in the south, nor the terrible infection rate. But diarrhea was fatal, otherwise it would not be called abscessed, which means that the stomach was broken. Song Jiuzhen didn't know about medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine. It was not effective. The medical conditions in the previous life were so developed, and some of the effects of traditional Chinese medicine were still amazing. Just like Pan Lian'er was pregnant, and the doctor was taking the pulse. If he was hesitant, it would be difficult to say. If he had it, it would definitely be pregnant. It was more effective than doing CD. I don't know how it was done. But if he said it was effective, many of them were also very backward.
Song Jiu didn't know how to treat a doctor, but he knew a little. He met Zhao Kuangyin immediately. It was hot and the soldiers were in charge. Drinking raw water cooled down was the main reason for the illness. Therefore, he issued an edict to not drink raw water. He boiled the tea every morning and put it in a large bucket. He drank the sick soldiers even if they were thirsty. In particular, he had an experience as a judge of the Sansi, and he knew exactly where to produce it. He immediately sent someone to bring relevant herbs from the rear.
The abdomen in the army was suppressed.
Many people don’t understand it, thinking that this is another matter-based science, and even said that it is malaria. Because of Song Jiu’s merit, there was no attack. Where is it? Alcohol and boric acid water were also transferred, and many consecutive days of siege, resulting in a large number of casualties. Later, Song Jiu gradually became numb. However, he brought a lot of alcohol and boric acid water, and immediately cleaned the wounds and bandaged them. He had to clean them several times a day. Because of Song Jiu’s merit, he saved at least one thousand Song soldiers in Taiyuan battle.
The disease of abdomen is not very harmful, but old Wei is old and a civil servant again. If he gets infected with it, how can he get better? He is hit and sent back to the capital for treatment and dies in the middle of the way.
The sun is close to the West Mountain, and everyone stands at the top of Longshan together, looking northwest with a telescope. Where is the army of Wu Zhen, the King of the Northern Khitan. Song Jiu asked: "Your Majesty, are the Khitans afraid?"
"If they are really confident, why don't they send troops to Taiyuan City?" Zhao Kuangyin said proudly. Wuzhen's army came, and he dared not approach, so he could only set fire in the distance and beat drums. It means that our Liao army is here to support you. Even though you fight with the Song Dynasty, you are fighting desperately with Xiang Yu. But what is the difference between this and those princes who watch the wall? However, Song Jiuyi thought that the Song Dynasty was indeed not so weak at this time. For example, in the third year of Qiande, the Khitan invaded Yizhou and plundered the local population. Zhao Kuangyin was furious and sent the Yizhou defenders to invade Liao and plunder the population, which was about the same number. Then exchanged, the Khitan had no choice but to agree. The next year, Zhao Kuangyin simply sent a large army deep into Youzhou territory.
, and the heroic spirit left. What Song Jiu didn't know was that something happened in Hebei at this time. The Khitans dared not divide their troops. The army joined together and entered Hedong together. Hebei soldiers were under the jurisdiction of Han Chongyun, but they were divided into several war zones. The northernmost part was under the jurisdiction of Li Hanchao. His good friend and subordinate Ma Renyu did not say hello. Seeing Hebei empty, he led his army into Pinglu and other places. From the northwest of Beijing, he continued to capture Zhangjiakou, and captured countless people, tens of thousands of horses, cattle and sheep. It was a great achievement, but Ma Renyu went out of the army in violation of regulations. Li Hanchao was unfair and was somewhat jealous of his military achievements. He kept complaining about the emperor. A good friend finally turned against him.
