On top of the city tower, Han Desui, the king of the South Court of the Liao Kingdom, stood on the side of the crenel with a pale face, looking fiercely at the siege formations below the city. After receiving the news that Zhuozhou was captured by Zhou Dynasty soldiers and horses a few days ago, Han Desui was shocked and angry at first.
, scolding the Zhou people as despicable and capricious, and actually broke the agreement again. But soon, he felt that something was fishy.
After calming down, he immediately sent someone to understand the situation. Soon, he understood that this was just a private action of a small group of Zhou soldiers and horses in Bazhou City. The reason was simple, the number of soldiers and horses attacking Zhuozhou was not large.
, the soldiers and horses from other border towns of the Zhou Dynasty did not attack together. Moreover, the convoys of materials transported by the Zhou Dynasty for peace compensation also entered the Liao territory as usual. All this shows that it was the work of a small group of rebel soldiers and horses of the Zhou Dynasty. Their purpose was also
He obviously means to undermine the peace agreement and stir up trouble.
Han Desui reported the news to Yelu Zongyuan, and Yelu Zongyuan soon sent back instructions through a bird messenger, asking Han Desui to take full responsibility for the matter. He sent an envoy to the Great Zhou Dynasty to inquire about the reason, and ordered the Great Zhou Dynasty to deal with the rebels immediately. Han Desui immediately
According to the instructions, envoys were sent to Bianliang to ask the Zhou court to inquire about the crime, inquire about the situation and take measures.
Han Desui originally thought that this small group of Zhou rebels would only dare to huddle in the city after capturing Zhuozhou City. Han Desui did not plan to send troops to attack. Of course, this kind of thing would be left to the Zhou court to use their own troops and horses.
It is best to clear out the rebels. With the troops and horses he currently has on hand, if he sends troops to attack the city out of temporary anger, he will lose his own people instead. There is no need for this at all. Dazhou himself sent people to wipe out this rebellion, and all the people were killed or injured.
They are from the Zhou Dynasty, so this is the best way to deal with it. Han Desui also believes that the small group of rebels dare not make any other changes. After all, they only have 30,000 people, and conquering Zhuozhou is already their biggest task.
achieved.
However, what Han Desui never expected was that the soldiers and horses would advance north very quickly, crossing the Sanggan River and heading towards Xijin Mansion where he was. Han Desui was really angry. These guys simply didn't care.
In my opinion, do they think that with those 30,000 soldiers and horses, they can capture the Xijin Mansion like they captured Zhuozhou? A few months ago, Yang Jun, the Privy Councilor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack the Xijin Mansion.
, the result was defeat and disgrace. Don’t these rebels feel no fear at all?
In any case, now that they are here, they can only wipe out this group of rebels personally. It doesn't matter who is dead. Afterwards, they can ask the Zhou Dynasty for another sum of money. Anyway, they will not suffer any loss. So Han Desui
Immediately ordered preparations for the defense of the city, closed the city gates, mobilized soldiers and horses in the city, carried the defense materials at the city head, and prepared for the battle. Although the opponent only had 30,000 people, they were obviously here to die. But as a mature man, he was cautious.
As the leading general, Han Desui will not underestimate any opponent. All the preparations that should be prepared are in place without any carelessness.
Tonight, when a convoy of hundreds of vehicles transporting supplies and food from Datong, Xijing arrived at Xijing Prefecture, Han Desui felt even more confident. Because Emperor Yelv Zong Yuanzheng led an army of 500,000 to invade Daohe, Tokyo.
When the Jurchens are fighting, all materials and food must be transported to the battlefield over there, and all resources must be tilted towards the main battlefield, so the food and materials in Xijin Mansion are actually not sufficient. A few transporters will compensate.
When the convoy of supplies passed through Xijin Prefecture, Han Desui did withhold some supplies, but he could not intercept them arbitrarily, because after all, the main battlefield was on Tokyo Road, and he had no reason to withhold these supplies. Just to intercept a few vehicles, he needed to find some reason.
Otherwise, it would be suspected of irritating Yelu Zongyuan. But today, it can be said that God followed people's wishes. The Zhou rebels came to attack the city, and he wanted to fight with them. There was sufficient reason to withhold these hundreds of carts of supplies.
Yes. Because I also need these things.
With these hundreds of vehicles of supplies, there is no need to worry about the city defense battle that is already guaranteed to win. There is no need to worry at all. You can slowly spend it with these rebels and drag them to death. There is no need for you to worry.
In order to annihilate them, it is quite boring to be idle in Xijin Mansion anyway. This group of people came to attack the city. It is extremely boring entertainment for me. I just play with them slowly. The longer the battle lasts, the more credit will be gained in the future.
The bigger it is, the more difficult it can be said to be a difficult battle. This will prevent the generals who participated in the war from being arrogant in front of them after the war in Liaoyang Prefecture is over.
If it weren't for the fact that the war was about to break out tonight, Han Desui would have personally gone to see the deputy general from Xijing named Xiao Quan who escorted the car. He would have given him a few words of praise. He came in time.
It is simply my lucky star.
Han Desui knew from the scout information that the opponent would attack the city tonight. He was also prepared. However, he thought that the opponent should launch an attack tomorrow. However, he did not expect that the opponent would not take a breath and immediately launched an siege operation, as if
They have this city at their fingertips. It's as if they can easily invade the city and spend the night in Xijin Mansion. This is contempt and contempt for themselves. These rebels are too arrogant. This battle tonight
You have to hit them hard, but you can't hit them too hard to scare them away. In short, you have to hit them very skillfully.
…
"Your Majesty, the one on the flagpole seems to be... General Zongze, what... what should we do?" On the tower, the generals beside Han Desui recognized the man on the flagpole who was shouting for help with his teeth and claws.
The reason why Han Desui turned pale was because of this matter. His most valued son, Han Zongze, who had the highest hopes for him, led 20,000 troops to garrison in Zhuozhou City. After the city fell, the Liao soldiers who escaped had already reported the news of Han Zongze's capture to Zhuozhou City.
Han Desui. After hearing the report, Han Desui was angry and resentful.
My most valued son, Han Zongze, usually talks about leading the army in battles. He talks about all kinds of battle examples, and he talks eloquently and eloquently. I thought that my son was full of military knowledge and his future was limitless. He would be better than his master in the future.
Better than Lan, his achievements are greater than his own. But who would have thought that in a simple battle to defend the city, with 20,000 defenders against 30,000 attacking enemies, even any of his generals would not be able to defend the city.
It was captured in less than an hour. What was even more annoying was that Han Zongze was so stupid that he overestimated his own capabilities and wanted to recapture the city after it was broken. He also put himself in danger and was captured alive by his opponents. This is simply ridiculous and stupid.
When the opponent's siege troops tied Han Zongze to the flagpole and lifted him high in the air, Han Desui recognized that it was his stupid son who had embarrassed himself by talking about military affairs on paper. So he had a relaxed face.
Shangcai looked angry and gloomy.
Han Zongze was tied to the flagpole, like a fly stuck on a spider web, waving his limbs constantly, shouting for help and struggling.
"Han Desui, look who this is? This is my beloved son Han Zongze. If you want to save him, come out and talk. We have a suggestion. If you can agree, let your son live. Otherwise, your son will
I'm afraid I'm going to die." Someone in the formation below the city shouted loudly.
Since Han Zongze is Han Desui's beloved son, it is natural to use this chess piece. The so-called talk is actually just an excuse. The real purpose is to make the opponent dare not shoot arrows. While shouting, attack
The city square has advanced fifty steps further down the city, and has already entered the range of the arrows at the top of the city. However, because Han Zongze was on the flagpole, the defenders at the top of the city did not dare to fire arrows. He was the son of King Han.
.
Next to the crenellations of the city tower, the muscles on Han Desui's face were trembling and his teeth were clenching. He could tell that the opponent would hesitate when he was sure, so he used Han Zongze as a shield and used his own hesitation to move forward. The best strike of the bow and arrow
The range and distance are only the distance from Baibu to the bottom of the city. Once the opponent reaches the bottom of the city wall, it will be a blind spot for bows and arrows. The opponent can avoid the most dangerous siege stage where they are shot by arrows, which is of great benefit to them. They
Got this right.
"Pass my order...shoot the arrow!" Han Desui shouted coldly.
"Sir, you can't do it. General Zongze is in their hands, and the arrows don't have eyes. If these random arrows are shot down and hurt General Zongze, what should we do?" the general on the side shouted hurriedly.
"Yes, dad, the fifth brother is in their hands." Han Desui's second son, Han Zongchang, also hurriedly added.
Han Desui's face turned livid, he stretched out his hand and shouted coldly: "Bring me the bow."
"This..." Han Zongchang hesitated for a moment, and Han Desui shouted sharply: "Bring it here!"
Han Zongchang hurriedly handed over the bow and arrow in his hand, and Han De then took the bow, bent the bow and aimed the arrow at Han Zongze's body on the flagpole below the city, who was shouting for help. The muscles on his face were twitching and shaking, and he whispered: "Zongze,
Don't blame dad. The national affairs are so important that dad has to sacrifice you. It's impossible for dad to compromise with the enemy because of you, and it's impossible for dad to be coerced by them because of you. The only blame is that you were too careless, how could you be captured?
If you blame dad for being cruel, there is nothing he can do."
As he spoke, Han Desui bent his bow like a full moon, loosened his hand, and shot out an arrow like a shooting star. Amid the exclamations of the generals at the top of the city, the arrow hit Han Zongze's chest and penetrated.
Although they were hundreds of steps apart, they seemed to be able to hear the terrifying sound of the bow and arrow breaking into flesh and blood, and they seemed to be able to see the blood bursting out of Han Zongze's chest. Han Zongze's body shook suddenly as the arrow penetrated, incredible.
He raised his head and looked towards the city head. Even though he was a hundred steps away, his gaze penetrated the chaos of the night like a sharp sword and fell on the people at the city head, making people shudder. The next moment, Han Zongze roared and his head
His arms and legs drooped, like a scarecrow on a flagpole, never moving again.
"Fire the arrow!" Old Han Desui burst into tears and shouted loudly.
