The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

In the tent next door, groups of guards wearing various armors escorted their respective masters out and came to salute Yang Lin one after another.

Yang Lin smiled and greeted them one by one, nothing more than asking about the people in Yandi, saying a few words about living abroad, hard work and so on.

When the banquet started, Yang Lin seemed a little absent-minded and kept looking around.Everyone didn't know, so they didn't dare to ask, after all, they just met each other not long ago.

Although the person in front of him is young, he is already a top civil servant in the Song Dynasty. In the future, everyone will gain a foothold in the Song Dynasty. This is a natural thigh, and we must take the opportunity to embrace it.

Otherwise, when he goes back to Bianliang, there will be no chance for local gentry like himself to easily meet Shao Zai.

In the barracks just outside the big tent, there are two long tables separated on the left and right, with some wine and wine glasses on top, and some stools on each side.

After everyone was seated, every two soldiers carried a sheep and filled the strips.

Yang Lin said with a smile: "Come on, it's not very convenient to be in the army. When I come to Bianliang in the future, I invite you to have a taste of the flavor of the old country. This time, I will do it once. Please use it."

Everyone took their knives to cut up the meat and ate it, with some alien demeanor. The so-called sub-command roasting is just such a scene.

The newcomers were not very familiar with Yang Lin, except that they had heard some anecdotes about him occasionally.

After drinking for a while, they gradually realized that this Shaozai's airs were actually not big. He looked scary but was actually kind.

Everyone slowly let go and said some words of allegiance, and some inevitably showed their personal loyalty to Yang Lin. If there was no such thing, he would not scold him, but just added with a smile, "mainly for the officials, for the Song Dynasty."

When the wine was hot, there was a sudden burst of drumming, and the whining of horns sounded, which was extraordinarily loud and clear on this flat and wide land.

The crowd turned pale with shock and overturned a lot of wine glasses and jars. Yang Lin stood up and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, everyone. Zhuozhou refuses to surrender and resists the heavenly soldiers. Let me watch the soldiers attack Zhuozhou today while drinking."

Chapter 383 I once wore golden armor because of the national disaster

Under the city of Zhuozhou, the Song army surrounded them on all sides, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Looking from a distance, the unique Fanyang caps of the Song Army, with pieces of red tassels on top of the hats, fly like flames, forming a sea of ​​flames, which is frightening.

With his hands behind his back, Yang Lin watched the battle from a high place with the Yan land powerhouses who had just eaten and drunk. This battle is bound to be fought beautifully, and these newly attached Yan people will know the strength of Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, it is not impossible for these people to vote for others in this chaotic world, where people's hearts go back and forth.The people of Yandi are all sharp and aggressive. As long as they are young and strong men, most of them can ride bad horses and drive hard bows.The folk customs are aggressive, although they are a little weaker in terms of righteousness-there is no other reason.It has been more than a hundred years away from the Han Central Center, so this has naturally faded a lot.

Keep them in your hands, otherwise they can only defect to Jurchen, and become enemies with Song Dynasty in the future, which will be double harm.What's more, these powerful private soldiers in Yandi will be good sergeants once they return to Song Dynasty.At least compared to the vast majority of soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty, they are three or two points stronger.

With more than [-] troops, there will be no boundaries. At this time, there are more than [-] troops under the city of Zhuozhou. It seems that there is a huge momentum of throwing whips to stop the flow and raising hands like clouds.

After accumulating strength for so long, how can it be insufficient to mobilize the entire Great Song Dynasty for the battle against Yan.

In fact, in terms of material supplies alone, this battle has surpassed that of Yongxi's Northern Expedition.The three armies are ready to go, and Xi Wang Xiaoqian in the city is also preparing to usher in his first battle.Xi Ren has been suppressed for so long, and he has long lost the will to resist, but there are still some nobles like Xiao Qian, who are always trying to restore the country and live the dream of an emperor.

Yang Lin was so nervous that he jumped up and down, but he had developed a good skill, that is, he didn't change his face.

Forcibly restraining his excitement, he waved his hand and said casually: "The last time has come, Xiao Qian has not surrendered, let's fight."

The people around are all heartbroken, this is the demeanor of a king, just like the big city that the Song Dynasty could not take down for a hundred years, the sore spot in the hearts of the heroes of the Han family-Zhuozhou City, in front of him, it is like a free gift.

The sound of the horn sounded again, and the command flags at the four corners waved together, and the army, which was as motionless as a mountain, moved forward slowly.

The siege officially begins!It was a climax from the very beginning, without the slightest procrastination. This battle was regarded as Song's first battle in the North, and it was inevitable from top to bottom.

Rows of clustered crossbow arrows poured on the top of the city as if they didn't spend money. In the violent blow like a storm, there were more than a hundred trebuchets, which smashed stone bullets weighing hundreds of catties towards the city. Every time a huge boulder fell down, a cloud of thick yellow smoke rose up, and yellow smoke suddenly rose from the well-built Zhuozhou city wall.At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, there were no stone cannons on the battlefield. Song Taizu attacked Taiyuan, and Song Taizong attacked a strong city like Youzhou. Attacking vehicles such as rushing carts and ladder carts directly used tactics such as Bocheng, and did not use stone cannons.

It wasn't until the Song Dynasty and Xixia fought for decades that the Xixia army began to use stone cannons, and the Song army was soon equipped with such weapons.Of course, stone cannons are still used to kill soldiers and horses, and trebuchets are more used to deal with the city walls, throwing huge stones onto the city walls, which makes people frightened.

Yang Lin and the others who were watching the battle from a high place could clearly see this overwhelming majesty, it was simply a majesty that shook the world.

The formation of this formation by ordinary soldiers and soldiers one by one made the powerful people of Yandi immediately feel that this is a war, and the disputes in Yandi that people like themselves experienced before were nothing more than petty fights.

There is a lot of yellow mud in Yandi. The loess is extremely viscous. After being rammed, it is as strong as cement and a bit more tough than cement. It is most suitable for building cities.

Zhuozhou is a large state, and it has been an important military town in the past dynasties. The city walls are naturally extremely thick. Otherwise, under the bombardment of such huge boulders, ordinary city walls would easily shatter and collapse.

The Liao soldiers at the top of the city fought back tenaciously at the Song army at the bottom of the city. After rows of sharp arrows creaked and burst into ecstasy, they attacked the Song army at the bottom of the city like locusts.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the war started, the Yan people in the high places had already seen the result. If there were no other changes, the Liao people in the city would not be able to defend for long.

The army of the Song Dynasty had inexhaustible weapons and equipment, as well as a mountain of grain and rice supply, and the follow-up grain and fodder were still being transported in a steady stream.The Liao people who were trapped in Zhuozhou were themselves isolated and helpless, and many strong soldiers and supplies were transferred to Yanjing City to fight the Jurchens desperately.

This extremely unequal strength gap will make the mentality of the two sides in the battle completely different. Da Song's side must be fighting more and more aggressively.How long the Liao people in the city can last depends on their will.

Xiao Qian has great ambitions, but the people of Liao may not fight to the death for this King Xi. Daliao has been torn apart. How many loyal warriors are there in this border land?To put it bluntly, the Liao people don't know why they are fighting

The Song army's offensive outside the city has slightly weakened, and the first round of attack has consumed enough supplies. Just when the Liao people wiped off their sweat and felt a little relieved, the sound of horns sounded, and the Song army behind them filled up again. .

Enough Liao people died, and the towers were full of corpses, but the Song army they shot and killed was quickly replenished, and it seemed that they could never finish killing them.

A sense of desperation slowly spread across the city, and they could only huddle under the low wall of the tower, risking their lives and shooting arrows back again and again.

This time, the Song Dynasty had 15 soldiers and horses, and more than 50 civilian husbands. They almost took out the young and strong from Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, and all prefectures and counties to carry and replenish supplies after the army.

With every gesture, mobilizing the power of tens of thousands of people is what countless men in this world throw their heads and blood to fight for.

Yang Lin's slogan is also very clear, the First World War ended the century-old intrusion of foreign races on you, and made the land of Hebei the prosperous and prosperous land of the Han family again.

On the battlefield, arrows and rocks flew across the battlefield, shouts of killing were like thunder, and the tyrants of Yan who stood behind Yang Lin had completely surrendered so far. Even if Zhuozhou had not yet been captured, they did not regret their move to vote for Song.

With this combat power, if you get the land of Youyan in the future, are you afraid you won't be able to hold it?

With a bang, the gate of Zhuozhou City was finally smashed under the bombardment of the boulder, and a hole appeared in the strong Zhuozhou City.

In the army formation below, Han Shizhong watched coldly, standing proudly under the banner, in front of him was a group of burly soldiers.

"Back when the army destroyed Xia and the soldiers crushed the Xingqing Mansion, I, Han Shizhong, took the lead as the vanguard and broke through the capital of the Xia thief. From a small soldier in the army to today's status. You birds and soldiers who are not behind you are greedy and scolded me bitterly. But by luck.

Now your luck has also come, and I will give you this opportunity. Those who charge into the battle and enter Zhuozhou first will be rewarded with a hundred taels, and they will be commanded when they are promoted. "

"Come here, serve wine for all the strong men."

A soldier came up with a jar of good wine, and Han Shizhong shared a bowl with them. After drinking it up, everyone's faces flushed with excitement.

Hu Yantong was actually among them, took the lead and smashed the bowl and wiped his lips, saying: "Fucking bird Zhuozhou, what are you doing to stop me?"

After speaking, he let out a howl, holding the shield in his left hand and a simple knife in his right hand, and slapped the knife vigorously on the shield, making a clanging sound, and brought the hundred and ten people out of the camp.

The flag was waved, and the formation of the Chinese army split from the middle, making way for them one after another.

Chapter 384 Blood-burning Youyan Two Fighting Front

The movement and cheers of the army startled the people watching the battle from a high place, and all looked up.

The city gate of Zhuozhou collapsed suddenly, and a gap was opened in the Song army, and a hundred people rushed in through it with their shields raised.

The mighty Liu Yunqing of Yandi couldn't help but clapped his hands and shouted: "Good! What a group of daredevils!"
