Holding the binoculars and looking at the noisy tower, Zhonge turned in half and asked, "Erlang, will this method work?"

Zhe Keshi also held up his binoculars to look at the city tower: "If you have any dates, let's take a shot. The city wall of Datong City is too thick. Zhang Jue also demolished the buildings around the city gate and filled in the door opening. The caliber of the rapid-fire cannon is too small and cannot knock it open."

"

After saying that, he put down the telescope with a look of resentment on his face: "It's all your fault, Lieutenant, that you are reluctant to part with the little wealth Jiuyuan has accumulated. If you could pull the Thunderbolt Cannon over, you wouldn't have to use these tricks."

Zhong'e continued to observe the city tower and said: "A cannon weighs 1,500 kilograms, plus cannonballs, and a cart weighs two thousand kilograms. How many spring rains have there been in March? Can you drag it here from the grassland? It will not affect the army.

speed?"

"The advantage of the cavalry lies in the use of high-speed deployment, interception and interception. It can destroy the enemy in motion and show off its power in the field. Heavy artillery is the stuff of the infantry and chariot armies."

"Even if you dig a tunnel under the sand fortification and blast it, or use a night battle to occupy a section of the city wall to protect the army and clear the doorway, wouldn't it be faster than firing a cannon?"

"Then the lieutenant still lets us fly kites?"

"The next priority is to attack the city, but the highest priority is to attack the heart." Zhong'e finally put down his telescope: "Nowadays, all ethnic groups in Datong City are mixed, and people's hearts are inherently different... As Erlang just said, if there are no dates, attack them first.

Just one shot."

Zhe Keshi felt that Zhong E was teasing him, but there was no evidence.

Ever since they were tricked by the children of the Liao Kingdom, the two "general types" of the Song Dynasty often felt like this, and they were about to fall ill.

Think about it and just give up: "I'll go find Zhongba and check out the artillery positions."

Zhong E nodded: "Then hurry up. If things work out, there will still be a task for you."

An hour later, Zuo Qigong, the left-behind political minister, arrived outside the government office with the support of Zhang Jue and Kang Gongbi.

Countless people and soldiers in the city also gathered in the north city and looked at the big gate tower in the south of the city.

As soon as the hour arrived, several booms and booms of cannons were heard outside the city. Several cannonballs were concentrated on the Zhuque Tower. Flame rain suddenly shot out from the entire building, followed by several huge red fireballs sprayed out from the broken doors and windows.

.

There are two types of flames. One type rises upward, covering the entire Suzaku Tower in flames; the other type falls, flows, sticks to the masonry and continues to burn.

The city was suddenly in chaos. Countless people and defenders who had ignored Da Song's warning were now shouting in panic and running from the south of the city. The fearful mood drove the people all over the city to continue running north.

The Suzaku Gate is located on the Wengcheng, so there is no need to worry about the fire spreading to the city, but such terrifying divine power completely shocked the soldiers and civilians of the city.

Zuo Qigong's lips trembled: "This battle cannot continue. Zhang ruled, sent envoys out of the city...tell them that we choose...the middle strategy."

Zhang Jue said worriedly: "Participating in politics..."

Zuo Qigong shook his head: "I will take full responsibility for the fall of the city. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city. Just imagine what would happen if the Song army used this weapon on the city?"

Kang Gongbi bowed deeply to Zuo Qigong and said, "Student, go and negotiate with the Song people."

…

In March of the third year of Shaosheng, Guisi, Datong Prefecture in Daoxiong City of Xijing fell. Zuo Qigong, the political counselor of Rensheng Dynasty, Zhang Jue, the commander of city defense, Kang Gongbi, the privy councilor, together with the soldiers and civilians of the city, as well as the maps and account books of Xijing

, Kaicheng surrendered.

According to the prior agreement, Zhong E used the military supplies and dry food stored in Datong Prefecture to distribute them to various refugees, and persuaded them to return to their hometowns to work.

The defenders of Datong Prefecture also followed this example, because those who could leave were basically taken away by He Luo, and the remaining ones were mostly local Han soldiers with families and businesses, and most of them were willing to choose to return to their hometowns to work in agriculture.

The army really kept its promise, arranged it properly, stayed and went as easily as possible, and did not disturb the people or demand harsh things.

Zhong E also took this as a condition and asked Zuo Qigong, Zhang Jue and Kang Gongbi to cooperate. At the same time, he rescued the spies who had been sent to prison and asked the spy leader, Xie Jingsheng, a wealthy businessman in Datong Prefecture, to come forward to appease the city's sergeants.

After Xie Jingsheng came out, he first contacted the gentry and assigned duties. Ten days later, Hedao, Xijing Road in the Liao Kingdom, stabilized.

Afterwards, Zuo Qigong insisted on leaving Datong Mansion and went north to look for his master. Zhang Jue originally wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty, but he had already offended Xie Jingsheng and other gentry in Datong Mansion, so he had to take a personal entourage of 3,000 people to escort Zuo Qigong.

By, leave together.

Kang Gongbi wanted to follow his teacher to the north, but was severely rejected by Zuo Qigong.

Zuo Qigong knew that his departure would be unlucky, and he also knew that the short-lived Rensheng dynasty had been blown away by the wind and rain, so he was determined not to allow his disciples to die with him.

He was forced to stay in Datong Prefecture on the grounds of keeping him in Datong, supervising the actions of the Song Dynasty officials and troops, and making them abide by their prior commitments.

Zuo Qigong's political ability was very strong, and this was the talent that was delayed by treacherous ministers like Li Chuwen.

Zhong E admired his actions during the ten days and was very reluctant to let him go. He comforted him again and again, but he had no choice but to leave with strong intentions.

Zhong E had no choice but to equip him with the best chariots and horses, and led his generals and shogunate out of the city to see him off.

The two warring parties actually handed over the city so courteously and humbly, and the victorious party respectfully sent the defeated party away safely. If Su You were here, he would definitely say, this is ridiculous, it smells like the civil war between the warlords of the Republic of China.

Looking at the retreating figures of Zuo Qigong and Zhang Jueyuan, Zhong Yi couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that talents like Zuo Gong are left to Luo and Yelu Chun. Will they become a threat to our Song Dynasty in the future?"

Zhong E shook his head: "Seeking benevolence will lead to benevolence, let them do it. Zuo Gong's talents need to be put to use in farming areas. There is no chance of going to the grassland."

"Cooking Datong has been delayed a lot. Let's go. I have a new idea. Let's put it together and see if it works..."

…

While Zhe Keshi and Zhong Yi were flying kites under Datong Mansion, Li Chunyuan, Cao Nan, and Zhe Keda also launched an attack on Xijin Mansion.

Unlike Zhong'e who defeated Datong in one article, the three armies of Jijin Prefecture had the advantage of waterways and were able to pull sharp thunder cannons with them.

In the third month of the 18th month, at the time of Wuxu, three armies fired at the Xijin Mansion with ninety thunderbolt cannons.

In the dark night, countless firelights flickered in the Xijin Mansion with huge roars. Then several city gates were blasted open by cannons, and dozens of bright stars lit up in the sky above the city, illuminating the Xijin Mansion.

Like daytime.

The three generals on the east road are all cunning and cunning, and this method is the easiest way to cause confusion among the enemies in the city.

Cao Nan tasted the sweetness of the New Army's chaotic fighting in Yanfangdian and believed that this was the best way to break the enemy's defense, cause their overall chaos and collapse, and achieve the greatest results.

When Cao Nan mentioned the remaining two traitors, he immediately felt that this method was quite good. Li Chunyuan suggested to adjust the attack time to the evening, and use the new army's characteristics of being good at night fighting to deal a fierce blow to the stubborn defenders.

Zhe Keda said he would get them something new that they had never seen before, using flares.

The Liao people are superstitious. If they see such a "natural change", will they be scared to death without fighting?

The three yin men hit it off immediately, and gathered their respective staff teams, and quickly came up with such a plan.

Thunder cannons opened the way, and then the army entered the city in company units and fought in chaos!

Of course, chaotic wars also have their own rules and regulations. In fact, they are still the same as Situ Jingjing and Lao San. However, the combat tasks have changed from the previous concentrated attack of large armies to detailed ones down to the company!

Everyone now has the accurate map of Jin Prefecture in their hands. After entering the city, each of them will follow the plan and quickly control the important places, the residences of senior officials, the granaries and stables, and catch the big fish first!

Several people divided the Jin Mansion into several districts. Li Chunyuan guarded the outside of the city. Cao Nan and Zhe Ke led the army into the city. Hot-tempered daredevils like Fan Longshan and Yao Lin were unavailable and stayed with Li Chunyuan. The rest will be analyzed.

The Jin Mansion is drawn into a nine-square grid, and everyone draws lots. Cao Nan, who can win big, Tian Shouzhong, Zhong Shidao, Wei Zhao, Zhong Shizhong, Yao Gu, Tian Yu, and Wang Hou are each responsible for one area.

Cao Nan gave this operation a nice name - "Nine Rats in Xijin"!

The bright light above Xijin Mansion was the signal for the general attack. The army formed three groups and rushed towards the city.

Soon there were explosions, gunshots, and chaotic shouts of killing in the city.

There are also Yelu Chun's 80,000 troops in Xijin Mansion. The military camps in the city have been mapped out by spies and sent to the army. They were given special attention during the previous bombardment, but now they are full of chaos in the city.

The army's entry into the city progressed very quickly. According to their own divided areas, each unit quickly took control of the squares around the city gate. After a little reorganization, they moved towards important value targets and the north of the city.

The Inner Imperial City is of course everyone's most urgent target, but it is also the direction where the Liao rebels are fleeing. The further in, the more and stronger the resistance becomes.

There was great chaos in the city, and when gunfire exploded from three sides, the inner imperial city was also the focus of artillery care. The violent explosions of several bombs made Yelu Chun suddenly wake up from his bed: "The Song Dynasty attacked the city?"

Cao Yongyi and Yu Zhongwen had already rushed in, pulling Yelu Chun and running towards the north gate of the palace: "The Song people have entered the city, and they are making great progress. My emperor, please retreat from the north gate!"
