After a while, Kong Shouzheng also rushed to the south with his guards, but his team was a cavalry, with a small number of people, only a few hundred, and the queen. Then the black Khitan cavalry came over, some wearing armor, and some wearing leather armor, bare chest and belly exposed.

In fact, the appearance of the two races is not very different.

However, he had a fierce aura, and he kept shouting in his mouth, just like driving a duck. He Jiyun whispered: "I have it."

The Khitans were very powerful, but the Song army had successfully confused them. They came all over the mountains and fields, and looked very afraid of people, but in fact they lacked the most important thing, military discipline, or formation. One of the leaders was still shouting, obviously urging his subordinates to chase them quickly. One was infantry and the other was cavalry. If they chased them, they would be slaughtered by fat sheep.

He Jiyun waved his hand and the guards blew the trumpet.

Song Bings all turned over and horses.

Hu Da and Guo Da also turned over and horses. Song Jiu almost wanted to say, "You really fight, but you are not soldiers. Even if you kill the enemy, how can you remember this credit?"

Song Jiu also turned on his horse.

Dahei licked Song Jiu with his tongue, obviously it didn't know the upcoming tragic battle.

The first move was the Song soldiers on each mountain, but they were far away and Song Jiu could not see them. They lifted their disguises one by one. Those who were close to the mountain road would lift big stones and smash them down, and those who were far away would shoot them with Fulu crossbows.

The Khitans were inexplicably surprised. Someone was shouting, "The Khitan language, Song Jiu couldn't understand it, maybe he was ambushed while shouting. The Khitans who happened in the mountain road could not see it, but they could hear the screams of their comrades.

In fact, this is how it is often produced by defeating more, not only weapons and soldiers’ combat effectiveness, but also the psychological quality and morale of soldiers. Just when they hesitated, the Song army came out. It was not infantry against infantry, but Zhao Kuangyin would not say that Tingwu would wait for the victory. The real decisive battle was still the cavalry. There were also horses. At this time, the horses used by the Song Dynasty were mostly northwest horses, and there was no shortage of horses, which was a matter of cost. Can the cost of raising horses be afforded?

As soon as the Western Xia was independent, the Song Dynasty was in a difficult situation. Not only did it lack war horses, but there were no good horses.

This type of horse is taller than the Khitan horse. It has strong explosive power, but the Khitans also have advantages. Khitan horses can endure hardships and have good endurance. Most of them have light armor or leather armor, not the heavy vests of the Song cavalry. Therefore, when they run long, the Khitan cavalry still has the advantage of speed.

Song troops emerged from the mountains and forests.

It did not collapse immediately, but the Song army had the advantage. It cut repeatedly with neat formations. What's even more terrible is that the Khitans could not come up behind. The narrower the mountain road, the more ambushed the Song army on both sides, continuously smashing stones. The Khitans were also afraid of death.

Song Jiu stood on the hillside and watched.

Hu Da rushed down the hillside with a scream. Guo Da was fine, so he stood by his side diligently. But he still fought for a while. A Khitan rushed over in a hurry. Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Jiu pulled out a Pu Da to meet him. Guo Da also met. In fact, the two of them had a practical experience together, perhaps not as good as the Khitan soldier, but the Khitan soldier was in chaos. The three of them were dancing weapons in their hands, not knowing what they were doing, as if they were scribing talismans in the air. In the end, Guo Da happened to approach him and slashed the man down with a knife.

Guo Da used a knife to cut off his head and hung it on the horse's back. He was trying to get the skills, but Song Jiu was vomiting, and Guo Da was not very good either. He bent over and wanted to vomit.

If they were like them, they would be over, but the other Song troops were all very fierce. This is the battlefield. They rarely fight for a few hours. Whoever gets psychologically collapsed will be defeated first. The Khitans saw that the situation was not good and began to collapse, and some people fled back.

At this time, Kong Shouzheng returned with the Song army who was pretending to escape and joined the battle. Most of his subordinates were infantry, but once they joined, the Khitans finally collapsed and fled back one by one. He Jijun shouted: "Chase."

He turned his head and said to He Chengrui: "He has a head with armor and rewards His Majesty with his best."

Otherwise it would be too late.

He Chengrui cut the heads of the Khitans on the ground with a knife, took dozens of heads, and went back to show his victory. Song Jiu watched him cutting the heads while busy, but he couldn't stand it, so he also took Guo Da to chase them. Many corpses fell down in a mixed manner, including Khitans and Song people, but the few Song people were probably Khitans. There was a great victory, but the scene was very bloody. Song Jiu sometimes closed his eyes and ran forward with Dahei.

After leaving Shiling Pass, Kong Shouzheng continued to chase after him, but He Jiyun stopped and began to clean up the battlefield, arrested prisoners of war, and rescued the wounded. Seeing that Song Jiu was coming, he laughed to the sky and said, "How?"

Kong Shouzheng was still chasing him, and it was almost noon. Song Jiu was suspicious, and the ministers were also suspicious, looking north together. Zhao Kuangyin was actually not relieved. He was a Khitan, so he stood on the North Platform and looked north.

After noon, it can be considered noon. A horse came from the north. The guards stopped him and asked who he was. He Chengrui replied, "I am He Chengrui, the son of He Jijun, and I will offer victory to Your Majesty."

The ministers looked at each other, and Zhao Kuangyin was also very happy. It was his own magical plan to win.

In fact, his consequences were very bad. Several emperors of the Song Dynasty wanted to learn from him, which caused a headache for the soldiers on the front line.

This battle was unexpectedly joined by Song Jiu, and the results of the battle were brilliant. Nearly 2,000 Khitan soldiers were killed and more than 1,000 people were captured, including the formation envoy Wang Pode, Wuzhou Governor Wang Yanfu and other two governors. But they could not be all Khitans, half of which were Han people in Youyun.

This made Song Jiu very worried. If you fight, don’t kill Yu Ping’s father. This is a Khitan soldier in Shuozhou, Wuzhou. Once the troops were sent to Hebei, Yu Ping’s father would definitely be put on the battlefield. The most eye-catching thing was Kong Shouzheng. He chased him for more than 30 miles with his troops and horses. At this time, he slowly couldn’t catch up. Then he turned around and captured the prisoners behind. Khitan commander Nan Dawang Sha made him chase him in a daze. He led his men and fled to Yanmen Pass and stopped.

In fact, the Song Dynasty did not know the situation in the Khitan, otherwise He Jiyun would have let go of his hands and feet to pursue the enemy this time and would have gained even greater. But we can also see some that if the Song army was defeated, the entire army would be wiped out and could not escape. However, the Khitans were defeated to this point and the losses were less than half. They stopped when they saw the opportunity. Generals such as Song Jiu took the prisoners and seized weapons and supplies back to Taiyuan City.

Zhao Kuangyin was not overjoyed. Instead, he was furious in the tent.

The Northern Han thought that the Khitan came to help, and there was no fear of being held. Zhao Kuangyin put the heads on the head and the captives were entrusted in front of the formation. This time it would be better to surrender. Still not surrender.

So the city was sieged.

I don’t know how many Northern Han soldiers have killed in the past few days, but the most killed were innocent people. The soldiers hid behind the walls, and the number of deaths was not as large as imagined. The fourth battalion dispatched at the same time and began to attack Taiyuan City.

But at this time, the Northern Han people brought out the stones that the Song army threw into the city and used them to defend the city. After attacking for one day, the Song army suffered heavy casualties, and Zhao Kuangyin had to order the attack to stop. Chen Chengzhao, the Zuo Shenwu Army, offered advice, and His Majesty had tens of millions of soldiers on his side. Hu Bu did not do it.

Zhao Kuangyin stunned him.

Chen Chengzhao pointed at Fenshui.

Zhao Kuangyin laughed, but he still didn't understand. Before Song Jiu could react, Zhao Kuangyin began to issue an edict, ordering officials to drive farmers from the suburbs of Taiyuan counties to the city, build a long dike to cover the Fen River. Then, Song Jiu and his students were asked to inspect and measure.

Song Jiu understood and sighed. Many people in the flooded city were hit by the seedlings again.

But I have to obey the orders, and this damn war will end soon, otherwise more people will die.

The Fen River cannot be filled first. Instead, start from both sides, increase the long embankment on the east side, and use the terrain from high to low to raise the river embankment. A river embankment is also built in the south of the city. It is impossible to flood all the southern Taiyuan city walls together. However, due to the terrain, the city walls are also uneven. For example, the terrain around the South City Gate is very good. Going westward and very low. This section of the city wall is flooded.

Measure the height. Build the embankments on both sides, then block the Fen River. Open the Fen Dike and store the water level. The water spreads to the south of the city until the city wall is submerged or washed away. Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to build a small boat and prepare to enter the city by boat. Then he summoned Song Jiu into the tent and said, "It's time to blow up the city wall."

"Your Majesty, haven't you started to block the dike?"

"It is best not to block the dike, otherwise it will be possible to break through Taiyuan City and die too many people, which will hurt the heavens."

"Here." Song Jiu came to Beiying, which was Cao Bin's camp.

He is also an old friend, Cao Bin said: "Xiaojiu, you did a good job. You have also made contributions to this battle."

Because it was Zhao Kuangyin's finger planning, no one dared to say that Song Jiu actually had perfect achievements, but could he compete with Zhao Da for merit? Song Jiu didn't care about his achievements. He didn't care about this military merit, nor did he want military merit. It was not a good thing.

Song Jiu was measuring, Zhao Zan was blocking the Jinci water. The water was strong in April, and the Fenggu River could not block the water. The water flow was too high, but it was cut off from the west.

However, it was obvious that the soldiers dug a trench inside in the rain of bullets. Cao Bin asked Song Jiu: "Is it OK?"

"General Cao, it is not omnipotent, but I want to crack it for the time being, enough to work hard in Taiyuan City for a while. Look at the picture in my hand." Song Jiu handed the picture to Cao Bin. There are two ways to deal with it in the city. One is to divert water and pour the moat. If the tunnel is dug under the city wall, the water of the moat will swell into the tunnel, but the city wall will also be dangerous. If it is damp, the foundation of the city wall is unstable, and there is no need for gunpowder, and you can also knock the city wall down by crashing. Therefore, there is only the second method. Its explosive point is under the city wall, and soldiers will be sent to lie on the trenches and listen. If there is any movement, using a spear to stab the soldiers to death in the tunnel. It has to be admitted that people have a very fast ability to accept war.

However, there is another way, that is, listen. With such a long city wall, the city needs manpower and manpower, so how many soldiers can be sent to listen. Therefore, the tunnel can be digged inclined. But there is still a way to deal with it.

The main advantage is not obvious.

Perhaps it was obvious that Song Jiu was unwilling to think about it. For no reason, the number one enemy was the Khitan, and even the Western Xia, who mainly fought in the wild. If he didn't study the siege technique, it would become a disaster for his own family.

Cao Bin looked at the drawing and asked, "It would be very troublesome if you calculate it like this."

"Otherwise, why should I get a trigonometric function?" Song Jiu said. With it in his hand, what is the difference between a straight line and a slash?

Cao Bin didn't understand, but looked at Taiyuan City and said, "This city is very strange."

He also broke through many cities when he said it was tall and strong, or the terrain was dangerous. Some cities were not as tall as it was, and they were even more dangerous than it. It was not, but once the two were combined, they would produce chemical reactions. They all struggled to this point, but the city still did not surrender.

The tunnel digging project is not small.

May was here, and Song Jiu was really worried. He had worked hard in the army and didn't mention the trouble at home. He didn't know how to deal with the trouble at home. He heard the good news on the other side, which was exactly what Song Jiu was worried about. The Khitans also knew how to surround Wei and save Zhao, and divided their troops from Hedong to Hebei. Han Chongyun paid a visit to Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin also talked about the strategy. When the Khitans went deep, they must come from Dingzhou and pass by Yu Jiashan. The Khitans really passed by Jiashan, and Han Chongyun was ready for the battle.

The Khitans looked up and saw countless flags, and were shocked. Once the war in this era let the other party know the march route, it would be very dangerous under various arrangements. Just like Xue Rengui and Lun Qinling hid and took a hiding and seeking in Dafeichuan, Xue Rengui had never found Lun Qinling's main force, but Xue Rengui was clearly aware of Lun Qinling, and the end result was Xue Rengui's defeat. Han Chongyun waved the flag and attacked him again. A young general appeared in this battle. Li Hanchao's son Li Shouen led thousands of fangs to chase him, killing many Khitan soldiers, and capturing many leaders. His father Li Hanchao was even a good general. He also had a good friend named Ma Renyu, the colonel that Wang Jixun wanted to kill. This time Ma Renyu would do something even more amazing, because Li Hanchao and Ma Renyu turned against each other and became enemies...

There is another thing that Song Jiu didn't notice, that is, the real lethality is not Han Chongyun's main force. He played the role of defeat, of course, the greatest contribution is that he can only kill if defeated. However, in terms of lethality, he is Li Shouen's subordinate, and he is a cavalry!
