The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 579

Guan Qi's character, Yi Xing is turbulent, obviously at that time he was proud of the spring breeze and his heart was surging, which is completely opposite to himself at this time.

All of them are famous officials of the Song Dynasty, each with a famous name, and they were all influential figures in this palace.

Three hundred and nine people including Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, and Qin Guan

This is when Cai Jing was in power, and he joined forces with Yang Lin to clean up the old party ministers in the Yuanfu period.

Li Gang sighed, shook his head at the stele, and walked out of the imperial city.

Before he got home, the imperial edict had arrived. Li Gang was dismissed from his post as an admonisher for discussing the faults of the government, and was exiled to supervise the taxation of Sha County, Nanjian Prefecture.

Back at the Hall of Spring Harmony, Zhao Si lost his mind and panicked, and asked, "Teacher Yang, after you said that Yan Zonghan's entry into the Great Wall was really Han Shizhong's scheme?"

Yang Jian grimaced and said, "How does this old slave know about these important national affairs as a servant, but what he hears is quite mysterious. If the officials want to know, this old slave should go to the Privy Council and the Ministry of War to find out the truth."

Zhao Si nodded, then shook his head at random, and said, "Forget it."

Yang Jian sneered from the bottom of his heart, racked his brains, wanted to frighten him, and let him go to Zen as soon as possible, so he whispered: "This Jurchen is very important, does your majesty still remember Yelu Yanxi? He fled from Shangjing Mansion to Yunnei, After fleeing to Bianliang, they were still sent back to Jurchen. These people kill like hemp, eat their hearts and livers alive, they are more fierce than animals, just like demons."

Zhao Si's face turns green and turns pale, and he can't even walk steadily. He said, "With Yang Shaozai, we Song Dynasty are not afraid. Up to now, Chongning has never lost a battle. Didn't the Jurchens also lose twice?"

Yang Jian laughed and said nothing.

In Longshan, the rain is falling continuously, and there seems to be a water curtain between the sky and the earth.

The roads in the valley are muddy and full of puddles and wetlands.

Xie Yuan looked at the vast rain, and kept cursing in his heart. Since the beginning of summer, Youyan has not rained a single drop. Once he was about to go into the mountains for a surprise attack, it was overcast for three days.

The military boots of the soldiers were covered with thick mud, which was very sticky, and it took three steps of normal strength to take one step.

In the valley, the Hushui River was turbulent, and the rising river level made a bang bang sound.

Xie Yuan gave an order, and Song Jun in the mountain began to sit under the tree to eat. They carried fried flour in their waists, unfastened their water bags, ate and scolded.

Originally, the west side of Longshan Mountain could be touched in a few days, but in order to prevent the Jurchens from setting up secret sentries and spies here, the army turned into the territory of Jin Kingdom and detoured from the north of the mountain.

This back and forth took a lot of time. Han Shizhong's request to arrive at Longshan [-] days ago was about to expire.

At this time, there is no way to communicate. Once there is a delay, Longshan cannot be covered, and it will be futile to win the front line.

Xie Yuan knew that if he could not complete the task, he would be dealt with.

He hastily filled his stomach, patted and dragged his heavy body, and ordered to continue eastward.

The sky was about to get dark, Xie Yuan ordered repairs on the spot, and these drenched soldiers did not dare to light a fire to roast.

He simply took off his wet clothes, and slept overnight on a rock in the mud.

The next day, the weather cleared up, and Xie Yuan was overjoyed. After discussing with some of his subordinates, he decided not to march today. He simply stopped here to dry his clothes, and waited for the road to be easier before sprinting.

The soldiers were overjoyed, but they couldn't celebrate. They were drying their clothes carefully.

At this time, on the land of Youyan, Wanyan Zonghan was so energetic that he finally broke through Jingzhou's defense line, and Tanzhou was surrounded by groups.

As long as Tanzhou is broken, Youyan will be flat, and no one can stop Jurchen from going south.

6 Chapter Fifty

Under the city of Tanzhou, Jurchen soldiers and horses surrounded Tanzhou, unable to attack for a long time.

Rows of arrows rained down from the crossbow bed as if they didn't want money.

These powerful crossbows are no more than curved bows. What they shoot is a crossbow as thick as a stick, and the arrowhead is replaced with a spear head. This is a small spear.

A small bed crossbow can be placed in every gap in the low wall. The Song army only needs to stand on the side of these small bed crossbows that have already twisted the iron strings and installed short spears that look like tailless iron arrows. Hit the tooth hair with a mallet, and the crossbow arrows shot out.

Every round of shooting, there will be a violent sound of piercing through the air, and eight iron arrows are fired from a bed crossbow.

The densely packed golden soldiers below the city suddenly howled miserably, and infantry could only be used to attack the city, and when these long iron arrows shot into such a dense infantry formation, the damage they caused was extremely tragic.

There are crossbow arrows with iron arrows, which can easily crush the heads of the Tartars, causing them to explode like rotten watermelons, and red, white, and gray things are flying around.

It's summer now, and the Jurchens, who are not resistant to heat, have taken off their thick leather armor.

Many iron arrows pierced through one Tartar, and then the castration persisted, and then shot through the back row of Tartars, and some even pierced through three Tartars at once.

When the first one of the Tartars forcibly shot a transparent hole, while the latter two were nailed together, with mouthfuls of dirty blood spraying from their mouths, and they stretched out their hands to pull out the rusty iron arrow. , As a result, he lost his strength in an instant, and the two were nailed together and fell down.

The most frightening thing is that these crossbow bolts seem to be exhausted. Amidst the loud sound of teeth being pulled, the sound of strings is as dense as rain, and the tailless wooden arrows fly like locusts. soldier.

If the Song army could shoot straight, even the gods would not be able to get close to this city.

Han Xianqi, the general of the Jin Dynasty who commanded his subordinates to conquer the city, is Zong Han's direct relative, and now he can't support it anymore.

After the soldiers around him were shot to death, Han Xianqi pulled out his long arrow and led his people to retreat to the back to see Zong Han.

Han Xianqi retreated out of breath, his body was covered in blood, and Zabaodi at the side said sadly: "Han Xianqi, we have passed Jingzhou with all our might, and you just marched to the city. Shoot you back?"

Han Xianqi threw the "little spear" in his hand and cursed, "You call this a bow and arrow?"

Zong Han bent down, picked it up, and saw that the stick-like center was covered with blood. This stick should have killed more than one person.

At this point, Zong Hancai truly understood the power of money.

It is said that the rich in the Song Dynasty used to be rich in scholar-bureaucrats and rich in public officials, and the poor in each battalion and army were begging for food.

Ever since Yang Lin came to power, the military pay was not bad, and if there was a commander in chief, if he needed money to develop weapons, the court would allocate funds quickly.

Han Shizhong has guarded Tanzhou for these years, and it can be said that he has built Tanzhou like an iron barrel. The order he received was not to give up an inch of land.

As the first stop, Tanzhou, backed by the Great Wall, naturally became a key city for him to build.

Zong Han held the long arrow, his expression became more and more ugly, and the generals around him didn't dare to quarrel anymore.

"We may have been fooled. The Song army was in Jingzhou and didn't use all their strength. They wanted to let us in."

Zong Han said coldly.

As a general of one party, he has led the army for many years, and he has keenly grasped the aura of danger.

But it was useless at this time, Longshan was being attacked by Song people, and it was in jeopardy. If there were no accidents, when he returned, Longshan had already changed hands.

Longshan Hongjiazhai is the most important place, as long as this military village is occupied, the only passage can be blocked.

No matter how guarded Longshan is, don't try to break through easily on both sides. Those cliff-like mountain roads alone are enough to scare most people away.
