Chapter 348: Must Die (Part 2)

Zhao Kuangyi asked the soldiers to dance with swords first.

Although Song Jiu admired the hundreds of sword-dance soldiers, this thing was really technical. If you accidentally fail to catch the sword, you will die on the spot.

Then order the siege.

In order to show that his martial arts skills are no worse than his elder brother, Zhao Kuangyi personally put on his armor and braved the rain of arrows to command the front line. The minister advised him. Zhao Kuangyi said: "The soldiers fought for their lives to serve Feng Di, how could I sit down and watch him?"

No matter what, after he was troubled, all the soldiers were experiencing blood on their foreheads and attacking the city with no chance of life.

At the same time, tens of thousands of arrows flew into the city like a black rain.

Logistics is managed by Song Jiu. The iron production has steadily increased over the years. Compared with the iron volume of Song Chu, it is an amazing number. The sufficient steel and a good economy have led to the manufacture of countless armor and weapons in recent years.

When Song Jiu followed Zhao Kuangyi to attack Taiyuan, half of the soldiers continued to wear various cloth armor and leather armor, but now more than 90% were iron armor, and 70% were replaced with new armor. The weapons brought in this trip were also amazing, with tens of millions of arrows, millions of powerful crossbows specifically used for Fulu crossbows, and thousands of tiger cannons. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyi waved his hand and issued millions of arrows every time he attacked, but these millions of arrows were shot in the blink of an eye.

He even used gunpowder.

However, under the perseverance of Beihan, Taiyuan City still remained unstoppable. Instead, the Song army retreated from the top of the city brought several prisoners and got something from them. Liu Jiyuan paid ten coins in the city for an arrow, and had collected millions of arrows.

Zhao Kuangyi laughed and said, "It's what I have stored."

After breaking through Taiyuan City, these arrows were still from the Song Dynasty, but who made them? Can these arrows be used to kill the Song army before they were captured?

Just when the two armies were fighting bloody, bad news came. Tian Qinzuo was demoted to the guardian army, but he still had some power to supervise the army and continued to seek profits by traitors. Guo Jin refused to listen to his advice, and insulted Guo Jin. Guo Jin hanged himself in anger.

Tian Qinzuo first said that Guo Jin died of illness. However, this news must not be hidden.

Song Jiu was shocked.

In Zhao Kuangyin's hands, there were not many real battles with the Khitan. Once, Cao Bin and Li Jixun cooperated to defeat 60,000 invading Khitan troops in Pingjin. However, that time could not be considered a real battle between the two countries. Although it was 60,000 soldiers, most of them belonged to the Northern Han Dynasty. Moreover, it belonged to the southeast of the river, and there were cities to defend, with a lot of water.

Tian Qinzuo fought 60,000 with 3,000, but he just dragged the Khitan army to the south and failed to truly defeat it. Although it was good, he still had moisture.

The other is He Jiyun's great victory in Shiling Pass.

However, with Zhao Kuangyin's planning power in the middle, it cannot be regarded as He Jiyun's real independent battle.

Finally, the capture of the capture of Ma Renyu, who may not want to record the Song Dynasty's historian, took the initiative to attack. The Khitan can attack the grass valley, and our Song Dynasty can also attack the Khitan's grass valley. After fighting, there were very few people on the border of the Song Dynasty, and behind it was the huge Central Plains. However, if the people were not allowed to farm because the Song Dynasty often came to attack the grass valley, then a big incident would happen.

It was this fear that made the Khitan silently regard the Song Dynasty as unified Jiangnan and did not dare to go south.

Later, no one noticed it. After several major defeats, he only dared to defend passively. So the Khitan came to attack Caogu and Xixia came to attack Caogu. It was not until Fan Zhongyan that he proposed a similar idea and finally realized it in Zhang Shi's hands, which was Zhang Shi's famous shallow attack tactics, which almost destroyed Xixia at one point.

But this time it can't be considered a head-on battle.

Only Guo Jin was a real battle this time, winning with less, and all Khitan soldiers were in field battles, with great victory, and independent command.

If such a great victory is in a few months, it would be a super victory. Facing the Khitan army, there will be no more than three generals in the entire Song army. Even Song Jiu suspected that his father-in-law might not be able to do it.

However, he died like this, and because Ling Cun committed suicide because of unjust contempt, Song Jiu was puzzled. Even if Tian Qinzuo was the military supervisor, his power was not higher than Guo Jin. And just saying a few words, he could force Guo Jin to commit suicide?

Song Jiu looked at Zhao Kuangyi and suddenly realized that Guo Jin was bound to die.

No matter whether he makes meritorious or not, he will die. Otherwise, after Tian Qinzuo made a mistake, he would still be a guardian if he was not transferred.

This made him think of another person, Zhang Qiong.

These two brothers...

Song Jiu couldn't help but sigh.

There is a dark side and a light side. Song Jiu still admires Zhao Kuangyi very much.

After more than a month of bloody battle, Taiyuan City fell. In the past month, under the stimulation of Zhao Kuangyi, the Song army attacked desperately, and countless brothers and partners died, all of which were red-eyed. When he heard that the city was broken, the three armies climbed up the city with no chance. At that moment, the murderous aura soared into the sky, and almost the entire Taiyuan City was covered with blood.

Zhao Kuangyi shouted: "The three armies retreated a little."

"Your Majesty, why?" Cui Han asked.

"The three armies are angry. I am afraid that I will not be able to restrain myself from entering the city now, so I will slaughter the Taiyuan city."

Song Jun stood outside the city for a while, and when he saw everyone calm down together, Zhao Kuangyi ordered to enter the city.

Liu Jiyuan led all the ministers to surrender.

But at this time, Zhao Kuangyi, Song Jiu and others couldn't help but look up at the southeast direction. The Song army entered the city, and no one in the northern Han Dynasty resisted. The surroundings were quiet, but the sound of fighting continued to come from the southeast direction. Zhao Kuangyi told a little yellow door beside him: "Go and take a look."

After a while, Xiaohuangmen came back on a horse and reported that it turned out that it was Liu Jiye and his two sons and their men who continued to fight alone in the streets.

"Liu Jiye..." Zhao Kuangyi laughed and asked Liu Jiyuan to send someone to speak. Yang Jiye stopped resisting, Wangbei cried again, and came to see Zhao Kuangyi with his armor.

At this time, Liu Jiye had not yet washed up. Although he had unarmed his body and was covered with blood, there were more of him from the Song army. I don’t know how many Song soldiers he killed. This made Song Jiu very worried.

However, everyone unexpectedly expected that Zhao Kuangyi did not kill Liu Jiye, but instead comforted him. He gave Liu Jiye a dismissal position as the general of the left-leading guard, and asked him to return his original surname to Yang. However, the word Ji in the middle was not allowed to forget his godson and leave him with one. Zhao Kuangyi appreciated Yang Ye because of his military ability. At this time, Yang Ye did not perform well. He was defeated by Li Jixun, defeated by the party, and defeated by Tian Qinzuo. Apart from being brave and fearless, he did not look like a famous general.

The reason I like it is Yang Ye’s general idea.

Under the pressure of the Song Dynasty, the Northern Han Dynasty raised tens of thousands of troops with 30,000 to 40,000 households and 40,000 people. In addition, the Khitan ignored the Northern Han Dynasty and became the Khitan's loyal guard dog. They also came to fight the Qiufeng from time to time, which made Yang Ye very angry and hated, so he persuaded Liu Jiyuan to be a local people and voluntarily surrender to the Song Dynasty.

At the same time, he also liked his loyalty. Yang Ye was disgusted with the Khitan, but he was not disgusted with the Song Dynasty. However, the Song army entered the city. Because he had not received the order from Liu Jiyuan, he was still fighting alone and was not afraid of sacrifice. How many people could do this?

Therefore, those who must die do not have to die, and those who do not have to die do not have to die do not have to die.

Song Jiu looked at Yang Ye curiously.

He was a political affairs officer and had no right to inquire about the affairs of the Privy Council. Therefore, he did not know much about the generals on the front line. It was not until he came to Taiyuan that he knew that there was a person named Hu Yanzan, but he was not a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, but a general of the Song Dynasty. He once followed Wang Quanbin to Sichuan to make military achievements and was promoted to the deputy commander. This time, he came to Taiyuan City as a commander. Because he bravely climbed the city to get summoned by Zhao Kuangyi, Song Jiu knew about this person. Otherwise, Song Jiu would not know about the army of more than 100,000 and hundreds of commanders this time.

There is another man, Wang Gui, who has a higher status. He has independently attacked Qinzhou as the governor. And both of them are from Taiyuan.

Yang family generals can no longer let Yang Ye die in Langya Valley. Otherwise, when editing books in the world, not only Pan Mei was sad, but she might also be sad.

So after everything was settled, a Northern Han surrendered soldier called out and said, "Take me to Yang Ye's mansion."

The soldier didn't know that Yang Ye had changed his name, and was scared again and asked in a trembling voice: "Song Xianggong, that person is Yang Ye."

"Liu Jiye."

"General Liu. I know."

The soldier brought Song Jiu to Yang Ye's mansion.

Strictly speaking, Yang Ye can also be regarded as the prince of the Northern Han Dynasty and a general, but because of the economic difficulties of the Northern Han Dynasty, the mansion was not luxurious. It was just a few simple courtyards.

In terms of status, the two are very different. Song Jiu is the deputy prime minister of the court. Yang Ye is just a surrendered general, and even his general is nothing in the eyes of the Song Dynasty. However, although Yang Ye came out, he was not afraid.

Song Jiu sighed.

You must be proud of yourself. Can you still become a famous general without backbone?

But this backbone may later lead to a conflict between him and Pan Mei, so there will be only one result and he will die.

Song Jiu sat down, Yang Ye's expression was plain, with a slight regret, but his wife was a little sad. It was not that Zhe had no roots, but that she was afraid that Song Jiu would come to cause trouble. She used a sword to directly hang Song Jiu's neck.

Song Jiu said: "Madam Zhe, don't worry. Your Zhe family is loyal to the court. When the two countries are fighting, they are their own masters. If they pass, they will pass."

The reason why I came to the door was not to retaliate. One was to be curious, and the other was to want to build a relationship so as to avoid the recurrence of the Wolf Tooth Valley incident.

"Mr. Song has a large number of them..."

"I wonder what advice should Mr. Song come to the door?"

"I heard that you have a few, you can fight well..."

"I have seven sons."

"What a seven-son..." Song Jiu muttered in his heart.

Yang Ye continued: "But the other philosophers are still young, and only the eldest and second sons can go to the battlefield a little."

"Can I see you?"

Yang Ye was puzzled, but he still called his sons and introduced them one by one, the eldest son Yang Yanlang (who later changed his name to Yanyu because he avoided taboos), the second son Yang Yanzhao, Yanpu, Yanxun, Yangui, Yanbin. Yang Yanzhao was only twenty-one years old, and the rest were in their teens and a few years old. Therefore, Yang Ye was puzzled when he heard Song Jiu say that they were all good at fighting.

Song Jiu was also puzzled. Yang Yanzhao was the second child, so why did he become Yang Liulang later?

No wonder in my previous life, I said that the Yang family generals acted randomly and were "luanlun". Even though Mu Guiying was Yang Wenguang's wife, she became Yang Wenguang's mother.

But at this time, Song Jiu misunderstood that Yang Liulang was indeed ranked sixth. The reason for this is that he has several cousins, that is, the children of his uncle Yang Chongxun.

Song Jiu suddenly had an idea and asked, "Who can lead the troops alone?"

Yang Ye hesitated and said, "The eldest son Yanlang can force him."

"Where is him?" Song Jiu pointed at Yang Yanzhao and asked.

"Yan Zhao can be a subordinate general, but he may not be able to lead the troops alone."

"That's how..."

"I wonder why Mr. Song asked?"

"Let me think about it," Song Jiu said. He had an idea just now. Beihan took it. The upcoming battle of Song and Liao. There was that demon, Yelu Xiu Ge, who existed. With this half of his jealousy, he probably couldn't think of a solution.

But the tactics are not good, but the strategy is OK. After all, he still has a little golden finger. How much does the Western Xia have to do with the Song Dynasty? Therefore, he continued to focus on Liaodong and focused on the Wushe Kingdom. Although a batch of weapons began to be shipped to Wushe Kingdom, Song Jiu still believed that the strength was not enough, and there was no other reason, Yan Po and others were not able to do military capabilities.

However, if you select generals from China, those who are capable will not pass, those who are willing to pass will not pass, and those who are willing to pass will not be able to, and they are unfamiliar with the Khitans. Therefore, he thought of the Yang family generals. Yang Ye and Yang Liulang, but now Yang Ye says that Yang Liulang is young and only Yang Yanlang is going on, but Song Jiu has no idea what Yang Yanlang has done in history.
