Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Not bad for those people!"

Han Shizhong sat on the side, he didn't speak, he didn't speak, basically no one in the army dared to go against Zhao Chen's words.

Han Shizhong definitely supports Zhao Chen, as long as Zhao Chen doesn't mess around, Han Shizhong will acquiesce in his decision.

While eating at noon, there were shouts from the Japanese outside, probably begging for mercy.

Zhang Yang went to take a look, but saw those Japanese kneeling there, kneeling in several rows, beheaded one by one.

The head rolled to the ground, separated from the corpse, blood was scattered everywhere, and there was a pungent smell of blood in the air.

The heart-piercing wailing did not bring back his life.

Zhang Yang vomited on the side, throwing up all the food he ate.

After the meal, the Song army pulled out of the camp, and under the guidance of He Yang Shengyuan, they headed towards the place where the Da Nei clan was located.

On the seventh day of March, the Song army arrived at the mountain city where the Da Nei clan was located.

As we all know, Japanese castles are very famous in the 21st century, but those only started in the Kamakura Shogunate period, and most of them were formed in the Sengoku period.

Because the Sengoku period was an era of high military tension in Japan, the daimyos would spend a lot of money on the military.

Japan's Sengoku period corresponds to China's Ming Dynasty, and during the Song Dynasty, Japan was in the Heian period.

Although it is the end of the Heian period, Japanese castles are still very rough.

These castles are more of a mountain city, modeled on the mountain city of Goryeo.

Its starting point was the tense relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Japan hundreds of years ago, which forced Japan to begin to attach importance to military defense.

Of course, Japan later accepted defeat and began to send envoys to the Tang Dynasty. The relationship between the Tang Dynasty and Japan improved, but there were frequent frictions between Silla and Japan.

Many pirates also appeared along the coast of Japan, which forced the local nobles in Japan to start imitating Silla, that is, Goryeo in the Song Dynasty, and build these mountain cities.

Of course, a mountain city is built on a mountain, but it cannot be built on a very steep mountain. You have to choose a slightly gentler slope.

Otherwise, there is no way to solve the food problem, and the water source is also a problem.

Most of the Japanese mountain cities in the Heian period were built on the hills, which not only ensured the safety of being on top, but also took into account the convenience of going up and down.

The same is true of Ouchi's mountain city.

Although the Ouchi family is a branch of the Duo Duo Liang family, they are also nobles. They have their own territories and tenants. There are not many people, but they also built a mountain city for themselves.

He Yang Shengyuan said: "I have already brought you here, but you can't take down this mountain city. It's better to meet the lord, and the two sides sit down and have a good talk."

Zhang Rong slapped him, causing He Yang Shengyuan to roll on the ground, screaming a few times, but he didn't dare to resist.

Sima Du on the side said: "This mountain city is not easy to attack!"

Zhao Chen said with a smile: "As for this kind of mountain city, you Han Shuai did not know how many they conquered when he was in Korea!"

Han Shizhong did not deny that this was much simpler than the Kaijing, the royal city of Koryo he attacked at that time.

The terrain of Kaijing is also very high, but the city wall is still four meters high.

The city wall of the Ouchi family is at most two meters high, and it is also to guard against Japanese dwarfs.

"Drag the cannon over here!" Zhang Rong said to Wang Yun, "Fire in front!"

"No, this kind of city doesn't need artillery, so save the gunpowder for critical moments." Han Shizhong pointed to the place in front, "Let the engineering battalion build some simple ladders and trebuchets, and then use archers and crossbowmen to press the formation! "

Chapter 1202 Negotiations are out of the question, let’s talk after killing (first update)

The principles of many affairs in ancient times are nothing more than two types: one is political needs, and the other is economic principles.

For example, the cumbersome etiquette of nobles is a political demand.

When it comes to city walls, it is a combination of political and economic needs.

In politics, of course, it is to separate the people while protecting the safety of the lord.

Economically, while meeting basic political needs, it is necessary to follow the most cost-effective economic principle.

Therefore, the wall of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty is only six meters high.

Why not grow taller?

Because it is no longer necessary, it can already satisfy the city defense, and at the same time, the load bearing of rammed earth has reached a reasonable technical limit.

The same goes for the walls of Japan.

The average height of the Japanese in this era is 1.4 meters, and more than 1.4 meters are considered tall.

This is not just nonsense. Since Buddhism was introduced to Japan, it has had a great influence on Japan. Buddhism advocates not killing.

Since then, the ancient Japanese believed that meat was eaten by filthy and inferior people, and the emperor also prohibited eating meat, only fish, vegetables, fruits and so on.

Vegetarian food further led to loss of appetite. Until the time of Emperor Meiji, Meiji ate some beef and thought that beef was delicious and could stimulate people's appetite. In addition, Japan was learning from the West at that time, so it began to relax the ban on meat.

But Song people are different.

Huaxia has a characteristic: the right to interpret belongs to me.

Do you say that killing is forbidden in Buddhism?No meat?

I'm sorry, I will destroy Buddha!

Here, it is not the Buddha who has the final say, but the powerful people.

Huaxia has never had any ban on meat.

The average height of Song people is about 1.6 meters five.

The emperor's upper army has higher requirements. For example, the upper fourth army in the traditional sense has a minimum requirement of 1.7 meters five.

The one holding the Japanese army is basically more than 1.8 meters.

This is clearly recorded in "Song History", and it is a rule set by Zhao Kuangyin.

As for Zhao Ning, the Fourth Army of the Emperor was expanded to the Sixth Army of the Emperor. Due to the large number of expansion, the requirements were naturally lowered.

The minimum requirement is more than 1.7 meters.

Coupled with the improvement of the army's food, the reform of the military system, and the increase in training intensity, the individual combat capabilities of the Song Army have been greatly improved.

Right now, when we arrived at the mountain city of the Da Nei family, seeing the two-meter city wall, for Zhang Rong's Dragon Guards, they almost laughed out loud.

Of course, Song Jun has received professional training and generally does not laugh.

Unless you can't help it.

The Japanese at the head of the city discovered Song Jun. They were shocked, and they didn't know where so many people suddenly came from.

To the Japanese, thousands of people are more than the people in a city.

In the Heian era, the total population of Japan was only 600 million, and most of them were distributed in rural areas.

Those who can live in the city are nobles with status.

As for dispatching thousands of troops at one time, that is only available in the capital.

Looking at the word "Song" on the Song Junjun flag, he probably guessed the origin of the other party.

The news quickly spread in Ouchi's mountain city, causing unprecedented panic.

More guards were ordered to go to the top of the city, and the Ouchi family began to increase their defenses in panic.

But the Patriarch Ouchi Hiroya is not in the castle, he has already gone to Tatara's castle.

Song Jun didn't talk about it immediately, but prepared his own.

The Song army settled down, and the engineer battalion moved quickly. They took axes and started cutting trees around in groups.

Ladders are built quickly.

Zhao Chen and Han Shizhong found a place to sit and were discussing the silver mine with Liu Bing and Zhang Yang.

While speaking, the war drums of the Song Army rang, and the sound spread into the city, which made the Japanese panic even more.

The forward team began to prepare, Han Shizhong stood up and walked to the coaching platform.

Zhang Rong was in command of the vanguard. The vanguard wore iron armor, not infantry armor. The iron armor weighed [-] catties. In order to reduce the load, he carried a knife.

At this time, the gate of the city opened, and a man in a long robe, leading several people, walked towards the Song army barracks in a panic, but was stopped by patrolling soldiers.

"It's an envoy sent by the city to see you, Han Shuai."

"bring it here."

The envoy was brought over, and the envoy said in Hangzhou dialect proficiently: "I don't know if the venerable of the Celestial Dynasty is here, but I am far away to welcome you."

Zhao Chen was surprised that this person could speak Hangzhou dialect.

In fact, even in Japanese in the 21st century, the pronunciation of many characters is similar to that of Wu and Hokkien in the southeast.

Japan in the Song Dynasty traded with the southeast coast, and the upper class was proud to speak the language of the Chinese dynasty. They had more contact with the southeast area, and naturally learned the language of the southeast area.

Liu Chu translated the Hangzhou dialect for Han Shizhong, a great Han in Northwest China.

Han Shizhong didn't speak, Zhao Chen said: "Let your city lords come out."

The words were translated, and the messenger said, "Our city lord is not in the city today."

Zhao Chen didn't want to talk any more nonsense, he waved his hand and said, "Kill it."

Before the envoy could react, a guard beside Zhao Chen walked over and drew out a knife, and chopped it off. The envoy's head fell off his neck in an instant, and the headless body fell to the side.

Several other people screamed strangely in fright, turned around and ran, but they couldn't run.

Zhao Chen said again: "Leave one of them to go back and bring a message, let their city lord Ouchi Hong's family come out, otherwise the city will be razed to the ground!"

Sure enough, one was put back. Obviously neither Zhao Chen nor Han Shizhong had the patience to talk nonsense to the Japanese.

Those who went back brought Zhao Chen's words with them, and the city fell into panic.

The city lord Ouchi Hiroya is not in the city at this time, he rushed to Tatara's castle yesterday.

But the Japanese came out quickly, and they found a fake one.

But he was immediately exposed by He Yang Shengyuan, now Zhao Chen didn't intend to continue talking nonsense with the Japanese.

Rows of crossbowmen and archers lined up behind the moat, and the sound of war drums spread around.

The peasants in the distant village hid in their homes in horror, not daring to come out.

"Fire arrows!"

With an order, rows of dense arrows soared into the sky, moving in the air like a black cloud rising from the ground, and pressing towards the city.

The Japanese at the top of the city had never seen such a battle before, and they were frightened stupid on the spot.

The eyeballs protruded, and the jaw almost fell to the ground.

In panic, some of them turned around and ran away, while others quickly lay on the ground.

The rain of arrows hit the top of the city in unison, covering it indiscriminately.

Those who turned around and ran basically couldn't run anymore. Some people were hit by more than a dozen arrows in an instant, and were even knocked to the ground by the impact of the arrows.

Those who were lying on the ground did not turn around and ran away. Some people missed an arrow, and only part of them were shot.

More arrows crossed the top of the city and shot into the city.

There was a muffled sound, and the arrows were nailed to the surrounding houses and ground, everywhere.

This sense of oppression shocked everyone.

But this was just Song Jun's appetizer.

Chapter 1203 Destroy the city and stand up! (Second more)

On this day, the people in the inner city of Ishijian National University may never forget the fear of being dominated by the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty.

The earth-shattering drums of war and the oppressive feeling of rain of arrows made everyone in the city feel like the end of the world.

The people lying on the top of the wall covered their heads with their hands and screamed in panic, like pigs being sent to a slaughterhouse to be slaughtered.

After the first wave of strikes, the Song army did not stop, the crossbow arrows continued, and hundreds of crossbow archers fired staggeredly.

It hit the city and the back of the city like a storm.

I don't know how long it has passed, but no one can be seen on the top of the city.

Under the officer's order, the crossbowman stopped.

Next came the forwards who charged. They carried ladders, crossed the bridge over the moat, quickly rushed to the bottom of the city, put the ladder on the top of the city, and began to use their hands and feet.
