Xiao Dahu did the same thing. He was pouring water on the city wall, and then the entire city wall turned into a tall ice wall, and then it was dressed up by the falling snowflakes into a furry ice and snow monster. When Xiao Dahu endured the pain
Sitting in the soft pocket, I saw Song Jun building a wall in the snow, and I couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.
Sleeping outdoors in such weather is asking for death, not to mention that most people in the Song Dynasty are not cold-tolerant. No matter how thick their cotton coats are, they cannot withstand the cold wind from the far north.
He thought that in just ten days, he would be able to pick up the bodies of Song people outside the city.
His pride only lasted for one day. When he stood at the top of the city again the next day, he couldn't laugh anymore. Right in front of his eyes, behind the low ice wall, there were thousands of densely packed ice walls.
There was a house made of ice and snow, with smoke rising from the roof of each house. He also saw people from Song Dynasty stretching out from the low house, and there was no sign of frostbite at all.
, they even have the leisure to install a piece of transparent ice on their ice house!
Yunzheng's house is naturally the largest. The walls made of ice, snow and water are covered with sheepskins. If you ignore the slight smell produced by the furs, this house can be called luxurious.
The cool sunlight reflects magnificently through the big piece of ice on the roof, giving the whole room a dreamy color.
"Red, orange, red, green, blue, purple, seven colors of brilliance! This is simply a miracle!"
"The miracle of fart is that the sun's rays are divided into seven colors, but they are usually mixed together and cannot be seen. After being refracted by the ice, it looks like this. It has been recorded in "Mozi" for a long time. People can't even make such a fantasy thing as a small hole.
If I can explain it clearly, I can use a miracle to explain everything I don't understand when I get to you. I would be ashamed to be your classmate!"
Yun Zheng was in a good mood today. Xiao Dahu still fell into the trap. Although he stuffed all his soldiers into three cities within a hundred miles of Xijing, Yun Zheng believed that in such a situation
Depending on the weather conditions, their destruction is only a matter of time and night.
Although there is no warmth in the ice house, it is not cold at all. Cui Da still can't figure out why there is a brazier in the house made of ice and snow, but the ice and snow show no sign of melting.
Sitting in the thick fur, eating the Yun family's unique hot pot around the brazier, although the white air was spraying out from the mouth, the body was warm, which made people have to take off the thick fur.
Appear happy.
In the tumbling white mutton soup, tofu, gluten, dried mushrooms, cabbage, and radish are constantly tumbling, plus the Yun family's special sauerkraut. One bite of the fresh and tender mutton will make you appetizing and full of praise.
For the sake of Cui Da's hard work, Yun Zheng specially rewarded him. Now Cui Da is sweating after eating, laughing and laughing with boundless joy.
After Su Xun came in, he took off his fur and said with a smile: "It's so cold outside now that it can freeze your ears. Although the wind is light, it penetrates into people's bones. I have asked Han Niu and Liang Ji to shorten the time for the sergeants to stand guard. There are enough people. The soldiers
We don't have to work so hard.
I saw it just now. The soldiers were also eating and drinking in the house. There were not as many dishes as here, but the large pieces of mutton seemed to be more to their liking."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Today is New Year's Eve. Even cattle and sheep will have a delicious meal today, especially people!"
Su Xun smiled and said: "It's a pity that today there is no Wang Jiefu's antithetical sentence of thousands of households always replacing old talismans with new peaches. I always feel that something is missing."
Chen Lin opened the door curtain and strode in. She laughed and said: "No shortage, no shortage. Wang Jiefu will arrive in three days. The third day of the Lunar New Year is a good day for His Majesty to hold a banquet for all ministers. We are also here."
Let’s all in the far north wish His Majesty eternal life.”
After saying this, he unceremoniously lifted Fatty Cui from his seat and put it aside. He sat on his seat and laughed, "Young people don't have any manners to respect the elderly and the virtuous. It's my turn to warm up." After that,
Without changing the chopsticks, he used the chopsticks Cui Da had used to scoop up a large piece of frozen tofu and ate it happily.
Cui Da was a little reluctant, but seeing that this skinny monkey-like old guy could lift him up with one hand, he probably couldn't beat him, so he didn't care anymore, and found another pair of chopsticks to continue eating. He was in Liao
After working in the camp for more than a year, I ate either mutton or milk tea all day, and I felt that my whole body was smelling fishy. Now that I have finally succeeded, there is no reason to let it go.
Yun Zheng frowned again. Now his army has formed a barrier more than three miles deep around Xijing City. However, in the past three days, the situation in Datong County, Tiancheng, and Changqing counties has been somewhat unclear.
.
The 5,000 cavalrymen commanded by Hu Balunyin moved slowly in such weather. I am afraid they would not be able to stop the more than 50,000 enemies in the three counties just by relying on them.
Wu Jie was already rushing towards Datong County desperately, but he couldn't even think of trekking to Datong County without three days.
That's all. At least before he breaks through Xijing, the enemy troops in the three counties of Datong do not dare to retreat privately. In a short period of time, the war will not break out. Wait until tomorrow, maybe tonight, Xiao Dahu will find out
Your own granary is actually an empty warehouse. Once such a situation occurs, it will be a severe challenge to everyone.
After all, the Song army had been trekking in the wilderness for two months, and the physical strength of the soldiers was probably at a dangerous edge. This was definitely not something that could be restored with just one or two good meals.
On the one hand, he had to fight and on the other hand, he had to build fortifications. Yun Zheng didn't know if the soldiers' physical strength could still persist until the victory of the war.
"Order Hanniu to take the sledge to pick up Wang Anshi's militia team. We must free the soldiers from heavy work and concentrate on fighting."
Chen Lin smiled and waved to Yunzheng and said: "Commander, don't worry about the soldiers. They are about to have an unprecedented victory. They are very energetic. They are all thinking about what they should ask the court for after they have achieved military merit."
What kind of reward? I have just returned from patrolling the camp, and the morale of the soldiers is very high. As for Wang Anshi, I have already sent my own soldiers with sledges to pick him up. He will definitely arrive in Xijing in three days!"
Yun Zheng smiled and nodded, and then said to Su Xun: "Tell Lang Tan, no matter what, you must hold on to the ice wall for five days. Even if you spend more firearms, don't attack easily. If you can trap the Liao people in Xijing City,
We will definitely win."
Su Xun smiled and said: "Why has the commander become so cautious? Xijing City has been surrounded by us so airtight that even birds can't escape. I don't believe that Xiao Dahu has the possibility of making a comeback in the current situation.
"
"It's always better to be cautious. It's like playing chess. The final moment is the most important time. Anything can happen on the battlefield. Never say you have won until you cut off the enemy's head.
"
Chen Lin stopped the chopsticks in her hand and asked: "I am going to write a memorial about the situation here and let Hai Dongqing take it to Yanmen Pass, and then go straight to Tokyo?"
Yun Zheng said: "Let's write it in three days. By then we should be able to see the direction of the war. Xiao Dahu is not a lone army. In fact, 300,000 troops are crowded in Xijing City. Even if there are no reinforcements outside, they will
It is an extremely powerful force in itself, what we need to do is to destroy Xiao Dahu’s last hope.”
As Yun Zheng spoke, he opened the door curtain and walked out. The white fox fur on his body was fluttering in the cold wind. He followed the snow path dug by the soldiers and walked less than three hundred steps to the edge of the ice wall.
Today, the ice wall is not very tall. It is only two people high and only three feet thick. Such an ice wall still cannot withstand the attack of ballistae and stone bullets. As long as it is attacked by multiple stone bullets at the same location, it will be very difficult to survive.
It might break.
In order to make the ice wall strong enough, the soldiers deliberately added branches to the ice and snow, and some even opened caves under the high-lying ice wall, directly connected to a house made of ice and snow.
Being placed here, there is always a soldier in that room monitoring the movements of Xijing City at all times.
Datong City is located in a plain. This majestic city suddenly appeared in the vast sea. For some reason, this city does not rely on any mountain range, so the geographical location is not dangerous. However, this city can only be placed in
Here, if you lean towards Baishan Mountain to the east or Huoshao Mountain to the west, it is not enough to control this vast valley. The people who built this city may think that just having a city in the Gobi is a rare thing.
Therefore, the issue of his persistence was not considered.
After Yun Zheng rode a big green horse around Datong City, he was sure that the Song Army's encirclement was indeed as airtight as Chen Lin said.
However, Yun Zheng saw several sea turtles rising into the sky and quickly disappearing from the horizon. They must have gone to report the news. The Liao people were already able to use sea turtles to do simple reporting work.
The sound of golden drums also kept coming from inside the city, and the Liao soldiers on the city wall became hurried. Yun Zheng set up a pergola and glanced at the densely packed catapults at the top of the city. He sighed and said to Lang Frank beside him: "Be careful.
Yes, Xiao Dahu already knows about the lack of food."
Lang Tan laughed and said: "What's the harm if you know it? Even if the catapult is placed at the top of the city, the attack distance will be farther, but we are now a full mile away from Xijing City. There is no obstruction here. He wants to break through and dream.
Go for it!”
Yun Zheng smiled and brushed off the snowflakes on his sleeves and said: "It's hard to say who is surrounding who. We are surrounding Xiao Dahu, and Datong County, Changqing County, and Tiancheng County, three small towns that stand on top of each other, are surrounding us.
, this is a confusing account.”
Lang Tan put away his smile and said, "Commander, you think the Liao troops in those three small towns dare to attack us from both front and back? Are they impatient?"
"They had to do it under strict orders. You must know that there are nearly 300,000 troops in Xijing City! In order to rescue these people, it is worth it even if all the Liao troops in the three cities die." (Unfinished)
