Chapter 60 Haystacks

Yun Zheng once talked to Wu Jie about the issue of staying in the Song Dynasty. Wu Jie chose to stay in the Song Dynasty. Yun Zheng had nothing to say about Wu Jie's choice. After all, his family and tribesmen were all in the Song Dynasty. In this country, his parents were not far away.

In this era, Wu Jie's choice couldn't be more normal.

Su Xun once said to Yun Zheng that he should not talk about his running away before the war was over, as this would increase the risk of Yun Zheng running away.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and telling Yun Zheng in advance will do a lot of harm but nothing good.

After much thought, Yun Zhengsi told his generals in advance the news. Except for Liang Ji, Peng Jiu, Han Niu, and Hou Hou, who planned to leave the Song Dynasty with him, the rest of his generals chose to stay.

Since talking about this incident, Yun Zheng has never told them about his departure. The only thing they don't know is when, where and how Yun Zheng will leave.

Tan Liang's words made Wu Jie feel a little sad, not because the commander sent Liang Ji to suppress his battle, but because he knew that Liang Ji came here just to help him. A person who was about to leave the Song Dynasty, no matter how many people there were,

Military exploits are of no avail.

Liang Ji had stayed with the commander as a bodyguard since he was injured. Being sent here at this time was giving him the greatest help.

Wiping a handful of liquid that was either rainwater or tears, Wu Jie said to Tan Liang: "Go to the wounded barracks and ask Lao Liang to come over and be my lieutenant."

Tan Liang said in surprise: "General!"

Wu Jie reached out and patted Tan Liang's cheek and said: "You are indeed very smart, but you don't understand the commander at all, nor do you understand the hearts of us old brothers, go down!"

Tan Liang was confused and was put on a stretcher by the soldiers, covered with an oilcloth and carried off like a corpse. When passing by the back camp, he saw Liang Ji holding his hands on the handle of a huge sword and looking at it boredly.

Heavy rain outside the shed.

Liang Ji lifted up the oilcloth and looked at Tan Liang, who was huddled under the oilcloth, and said in a low voice, "Take good care of yourself. I'm going to the front."

Tan Liang opened his mouth a few times and before he could say Wu Jie's instructions, Liang Ji, who was as majestic as a mountain, had already walked into the pouring rain.

When being carried onto the crumbling bridge by his own soldiers, Tan Liang looked at the surging river and realized that he was indeed judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. Not a single soldier brought by Liang Ji was seen on the bridge!

After Liang Ji arrived at the front, he came to Wu Jie, took out two chickens and handed them to Wu Jie. Wu Jie took the chickens, reached into Liang Ji's arms, took out a flat wine flask, and drank the wine vigorously.

After taking a big sip, he said: "Always hide good things."

Seeing Wu Jie giving the chicken to a young soldier, Liang Ji sighed and said, "I feel like I'm back to Qingtang again."

Wu Jie nodded and said: "Yes, the Liao people here are very fierce. You can see it just by looking at the horses. They rode directly up to the barbed wire fence, let alone the barbed wire fence. The Liao people who came first were just lying on the barbed wire fence.

The cavalry behind them stepped on top of them. If my lieutenant hadn't risked his life to fight to the death, the losses would have been even greater."

Liang Ji looked at the blurry front and said, "It's stopped now?"

Wu Jie laughed and said: "I have brought the artillery here. As long as the spy lying in front gives me a signal, I will use the artillery to bombard these sons of bitches to death in the city gate cave."

"The commander asked me to bring a lot of incendiary bombs. You can use them vigorously."

"I know that now is not the time to use that thing. The soldiers can still support it. The heavy rain will last for who knows how long. If the bridge is washed away by the flood, this is our last trump card and cannot be used lightly.

"

Liang Ji smiled and said: "The effect of using incendiary bombs in heavy rain is too bad. It's better to wait until the weather clears."

Wu Jie and Liang Ji, who were chatting, suddenly heard a piercing scream. Wu Jie ordered Sun Jie without thinking: "Fire!"

Sun Jie took out the gunpowder and stuffed it into the blast hole along with the oil paper wrapped outside. The red-hot iron bar was inserted into the blast hole, and the gunk made a hissing sound. Wu Jie and Liang Ji both covered their ears and watched from a distance.

When the artillery was fired, there was only a bang, and two shells the size of a shell tied together by an iron chain spun and hit the opposite side. The iron egg seemed to open a path in the heavy rain, and Wu Jie could even see it clearly.

What happened in the cave of the city gate a hundred feet away.

Wrinkling, he did not turn his head and continued to shout to Sun Jie: "The hit is very accurate, come again, there are many Liao people coming up."

There was no need for him to tell Sun Jie that after the first chain bullet flew out, he hurriedly led the gunner to clean the barrel, fill the primer, readjust the angle, insert the chain bullet, and repeat the actions just now.

Chain bullets entered the city gate hole one after another. It was strange that no sound came from there. Even the Liao people who had been noisy at the top of the city fell silent.

Wu Jie laughed loudly, pointed at the top of the city and shouted: "Come here if you don't care about your life. I have so many cannonballs that I will tear you all into pieces."

Seeing that Wu Jie was so proud, Liang Ji didn't want to spoil the scenery. He sat on the grass pier holding his sword and said to Wu Jie: "The Liao people should calm down for a while. Let me have a sleep first. When the Liao people come, call me!"

Wu Jie laughed and said: "Be careful of their giant trebuchet!"

Liang Ji laughed and said: "If the Liao people still have that thing, I will definitely kill Sun Jie with a knife. He said that he has already killed all the Liao people's trebuchets."

Also, Lao Wu, can the cowhide rope on the trebuchet still be used in this weather condition? You should tie your belt first, the bird is almost exposed."

Wu Jie took out the soft leather belt around his waist and threw it on the ground. He lifted up his pants that were about to fall off. He cut off half a piece of hemp rope and tied it to his armor. Only then did he feel that his whole body was in order. Then he looked at Liang Ji's

At that time, I found that this guy had fallen asleep leaning on the haystack.

The river rose higher and higher, and finally flowed over the bridge. Seeing that the bridge was in extreme danger, Yun Zheng ordered his soldiers and craftsmen to withdraw from the bridge, and stood by the river to watch the flood with Wen Yanbo.

The bridge was destroyed, and the wood on it was finally carried down the river. With a stick of incense, the relatively strong bridge on the river disappeared, leaving only a few wooden pillars stuck in the bottom of the river standing abruptly.

In the middle of the water.

The sound of artillery on the other side of the river stopped, and Yun Zheng no longer had the need to stay on the river bank. The heavy rain was falling endlessly, and he didn't know when it would end. After arranging the defense, he planned to go back and have a good sleep.

For a long time, there is still no winner in this war.

There was water in Lan Lan's tent. Lan Lan lay lazily on the bed and stared at the four maids scooping water out. The tent was filled with moisture and everything was wet. Lan Lan sighed. This happened in the military camp.

The situation is really too normal.

When Yun Zheng came, Lan Lan stood barefoot in the water and ordered the maid to change all the wet curtains in the tent. There was no way to live in such an environment.

Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Don't be busy, let's go to the army fodder farm. The monkeys have already built several huts there. I heard it's very dry, so there's no need to play with water here."

Lanlan nodded with some disappointment, put on her raincoat with the help of the maid, mounted her horse and followed Yun Zheng to the forage field.

The hayyard for the 200,000-strong army occupies a large area, and piles of hay are piled high. Although it is raining heavily, the roots of the haystacks, which are ten feet in diameter, are still dry.

War horses cannot always eat green grass, otherwise they will suffer from diarrhea, and they must also be provided with enough hay and concentrated feed. The huts mentioned by monkeys are actually dug out a number of holes in the haystacks. As long as the bedding is placed inside, it will be a perfect

Good place to sleep.

Lanlan liked it when she saw it, and happily took the maid into the largest grass hole. The women's screams of surprise kept coming from inside.

Wang Anshi poked his head out of a haystack not far away and looked at Yun Zheng with a smile. Only after Yun Zheng walked over did he realize that Wang Anshi had made the grass cave where he lived extremely elegant.

"If possible, I plan to sleep in a haystack from now on."

Yun Zheng laughed and said, "Do you think you know the benefits of digging holes in the haystack?"

"That's natural. When I and Marquis Yun were in the royal garden, we also encountered a heavy rain. As a result, you and I formulated a unique law such as the "Green Miao Law" in the haystack, and the Great Song Dynasty Bank was able to survive.

Kong was born to benefit all people. You and I are reunited in the haystack today. I wonder if Marquis Yun has any ideas that can benefit me."

Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "I'm almost exhausted. I don't have time to drink with a rotten old man. Where are the beauties like flowers, who would care to be with you!" (To be continued)
