Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 592
Lu Qian has not received any response to Song Jiang's question, nor has he received any information from Zhenghuang Qi. He only knows that Tian Hu's army took advantage of the situation and captured Xiazhou, an important town in Xixia.Tell him to laugh out loud.

Song Jiang is not in a hurry at all, the governor of a province, like the big boss of a province in later generations, can be done in less than ten months?
What's more, Song Gongming wasn't there when all the officials in Hejian's officialdom were vying to give gifts to Song Jiang's father-in-law?Only for this one, even if he received a heavy gift indirectly, it can only be regarded as an oversight.It's just a demerit, but can you really beat someone to death with a stick?

But he is not worried about Xuan Zan and Zheng Huang Qi.At the eastern end of Dijinze, apart from the Liao people, there are also three prefectures of Fengfu and Lin.Can't beat it, can't Xuan Zan escape?When they fled into Dijinze, they already had more than three horses in hand.

Lu Qian is now more concerned about Huanqing Road and Qinfeng Road.

Wang Si on Huanqing Road had almost surrendered, but Zhao Dian on Qinfeng Road was still fighting back.After all, his sense of urgency is far less than that of Huanqing Road.The latter is right under the nose of Liangshan Army, in the area east of Longshan.But Qinfeng Road is to the west of Longshan.

It is not easy to fight from the west to the east, or from the east to the west.A long mountain, running north-south, like a mortise and tenon, firmly wedges into the Qinling Mountains running east-west, forming a big barrier between Tianshui and Tianshui in Baoji.Separated Shanxi and Hansu.

The Weishui gorge connecting Baoji and Tianshui cannot be used for military purposes at all, otherwise how could Zhuge Liang leave Qishan six times?
This Qishan Mountain is not Qilian Mountain. Looking at the map, it is clear at a glance that Qilian Mountain is a group of mountains running from northwest to southeast. Qilian Mountain nourishes the four towns in Hexi: Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang.It can be said that the Qilian Mountains are a wet island extending into the arid region of the northwest. If there were no Qilian Mountains, the deserts of Inner Mongolia would merge with the Qaidam Desert, so there would be no Hexi Corridor.It is the snow on the Qilian Mountains and the big river formed by the glaciers that nourish the important towns in the north.

Qishan is definitely not Qilianshan.Qishan Mountain is the remaining vein of Qinling Mountains. Leaving Qishan Mountain means walking out of Qinling Mountains. Then we have to fight northward along Longshan Mountain.

That Jieting is one of the important military locations on the west side of the northern end of Longshan Mountain.

There is Jingyuan Road in the east of Qinfeng Road, and Xihe Road in the west. The terrain is considered dangerous and solid, and it is not imminent. It is not surprising that Zhao Dian chose to wait and see for the time being.But by doing so, it's not a question of how this person's impression will be in Lu Qian's heart.

……

In mid-May, there were many wars in Guanzhong. Because of the policies implemented by the Liangshan Army, there were few gentry and wealthy households in various places who did not hate them.These people were also unwilling to stand still and waited to die, and raised troops one after another. No matter how many people and how powerful they were, they always restrained part of Liang Shan's army's energy.

But many armed forces are spinning up and down.

The Guanzhong Plain is no different than the mountains and hills, the latter can't escape if they can't fight, but here they can't escape.Although it caused a lot of trouble for the Liangshan army, it did not help the overall situation.

Teams of supplies arrived one after another, bringing in Liangshan cannons one after another.Later, Ling Zhen commanded the artillery battalion to bombard Chang'an city day and night.

The damage to the city wall was limited, mostly the city gate tower and the female wall were smashed, but there was no sign of the city wall being smashed at all.

After all, Chang'an City was the former capital of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, even though Han Jian, the Jiedu envoy of the Youguo Army stationed in Chang'an at the end of Tang Dynasty, rebuilt Chang'an City because the original city was too big and difficult to defend.The Outer City and Miyagi of the original Chang'an City were abandoned, and only the imperial city, called Zicheng, was retained for repair.The original imperial city had three walls in the east, south and west, and a wide horizontal street in the north, which was originally the boundary between the imperial city and the palace city.In this renovation, the south wall of the palace city was used as the north wall of the sub-city, and it was connected with the east and west walls of the imperial city, so that the original imperial city became a solid city surrounded by tall walls and closed. The three gates of Suzaku, Anfu, and Yanxi in the imperial city opened the Xuanwu Gate to the north for defense.

The rebuilt Chang'an City is called "New City".The circumference of the new city is twenty li, which is only a quarter of the circumference of the original Chang'an City.At the same time, an inner city was built in the city as the area where the government was located.However, in order to completely ignore the outer walls of the city, Han Jian also built a small city outside the east and west walls, as Danian County and Da'an County under his jurisdiction, and later restored the original names of Chang'an County and Wannian County respectively.The two cities have become the external barriers of Chang'an New City.

With such a pattern, the scale of the city wall has never changed from the Five Dynasties to the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Many people in later generations think that Chang'an fell during the Zhao and Song dynasties, but they don't know that the Chang'an city of the Zhao and Song dynasties was just the imperial city of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The Liangshan Army is currently concentrating stone cannons on Wannian County and bombarding Wannian County, sending out light and sharp attacks from time to time.Under the command of Liu Fa, the Chang'an Western Army also defended the city to the death, preventing the Liangshan Army from advancing an inch.

Liu Fa's main force was stationed in Chang'an, but he also divided his troops to station in the east and west cities. He also made many targeted preparations for the Liangshan Army's undiscovered Liangshan Cannon.The first is to strengthen the enemy building, set up a fence wall in front of the building, and cover the roof with wheat bran bags, so that even if the enemy building is hit again, it will not collapse.Then they asked people to rush to make a large number of wooden parapets, and the top of the city was leveled with cannon stones one by one, so it was no problem.

As for those crossbows, he would not place one on the east side of the Wannian County wall.

After the bombardment with stone cannons, the first thing Liangshan Army did was naturally fill in the trenches and fill up the moat.Then the water source was cut off first, and then bundles of dead branches and dry firewood were thrown into it, and then returned to the long plank of the wooden row, even the trench bridge was omitted.

The Song army at the head of the city was not freeloaders. When they saw the Liangshan army filling the trenches, they fired their bows and crossbows, regardless of whether they were useful.

After the bundles of timber and grass were obviously higher than the water surface of the moat, they shot down with rocket fire.But Liang Shanjun was clearly prepared.This didn't get in the way.

Song Jun saw that there was no effect in doing so, so he focused on blocking the transport team, but it didn't work.The trench filling vehicle was well protected, and the plate armor in front of the vehicle was covered with leather, which was very tough.Coupled with the weight of earth and rocks on the cart, even the magic arm bow could not penetrate it.Only the Paoshibed crossbow can barely work, but where does the Song Army in Wannian County have it?

And there are a lot of them.Soon the moat will be filled!
Everything seemed to be going well, and when the Liangshan Army captured Wannian County to the east, Chang'an City was no longer safe.If Liu Fa had no reinforcements from outside, the city would be destroyed sooner or later.

No one knows what Liu Fa is brewing at this moment. The people in Chang'an City only know that they are one step closer to danger.The public sentiment is already turbulent, not to mention that there are people inside who are specifically spreading rumors, posting nonsense posts, and stirring up trouble.

Even Liu Fa couldn't concentrate on the war!
You know, since ancient times, there has never been a shortage of people who want to make the country rich.The unprecedented prosperity of industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty created a shrewd and bold merchant class. From the day Liangshan's army broke through Yan'an, merchants of all sizes in Chang'an City began to accumulate various goods.And most of them focus on daily necessities, such as food and salt.

By the time Liang Shan's army arrived in Chang'an, the price of grain had quadrupled, and there was nowhere to buy salt even if they had money.

Such behavior naturally aroused the anger of the people.I don't know who yelled the word "grab" these days, and the people with pockets rushed up, pushed the door panel, smashed the profiteer's head, and looted all the coarse grains and fine grains in the shop.This matter was quickly suppressed by Song Jun who rushed over.But the impact of the matter is extremely bad, and the impact is huge.
