Chapter 635 Huge pressure

In less than half an hour, the Song army used mud and sand bags to build a solid mud and sand wall a hundred steps away from the village gate, which could not only defend against the impact of giant trees, but also resist arrows. At this time, more than a hundred Song soldiers pushed three small catapults into the mud and sand defense wall.

The small trench machine is actually not small, as high as seven feet and the throwing rod is two feet long. It is just much smaller than the large trench machine. However, it also has a small advantage, that is, it is easy to carry and install. Only five or six mules can take away a small trench machine, and then it can be quickly installed within half an hour. It is also very flexible. Even if it is simple to take care of the slope, it can be used for trenching.

Small trenchers are indeed unrealistic for throwing huge rocks weighing hundreds of pounds, but they are just suitable for thunders of forty or fifty pounds. It was Li Yanqing who took this to carry it with the army.

Inside the village gate, Ke Mei watched the three catapults push up nervously. He was also secretly glad that this small catapult could only throw up at most forty or fifty kilograms of stones and could not destroy the strong village gate. If the Song army had only such a little method, he would not be afraid.

Three catapults have been installed. With Han Shizhong's order, 20,000 crossbowmen quickly retreated, and only fifteen people were left in front of the catapult. This small winch-type catapult only requires five people to operate. Three dark thunders have been placed in the iron bag. The risk of throwing thunders on the slope is also extremely high. If the thunders do not explode in time, it will easily hurt your own people when rolling down.

This requires the person who issued the order to know the speed of the fuse. The person who issued the order was a gunpowder. He swallowed his mouth and said to the soldier: "Light!"

The three soldiers lit the fuse at the same time. The gunpowder stared at the fuse, not daring to blink. At this time, the fuse had burned the red line at the bottom of the fuse. The gunpowder said, "Photos No. 1 and No. 2, No. 3 wait!"

‘Bang bang!’ Two catapults shot out at the same time, and two dark thunders rose into the sky and flew towards the village gate.

"Shooting No. 3!" The gunpowder gave the second order.

‘Bang!’ The third thunder of shocking thunder was also shot out. The gunpowder and fifteen soldiers rushed under the sandbag and covered their ears tightly. Not only them, but all the Song soldiers below had already received orders to cover their ears together and lay down. Even the war horses turned their heads and covered their ears.

‘Boom! Boom! Boom!’ Three earth-shaking explosions, the entire mountain was almost collapsed, flames burst, black smoke soared into the air, and broken wood and corpses were blown up.

After a while, the black smoke disappeared, the village gate was gone, the ground was covered with broken wood and corpses, and all the fortifications on both sides collapsed. Two thousand soldiers were either dead or fainted, or were frightened.

Han Shizhong yelled, "Get in!"

"Kill!"

Nine thousand Song troops burst into a shout and rushed into the mountain village.

In the yamen of the Qingzhou Prefecture, Nori Yuanli sat down in the inner hall uneasily. He was very familiar with Lin De, but the black and thin middle-aged man next to Lin De's name was cold, which made him feel a little nervous. Moreover, he was on behalf of the military to negotiate. Nori Yuanli knew in his heart that he was the real negotiator and Lin De was just a guest.

"Mr. Mo, Yeri Yuanli is the brother of the old chief of the Nori tribe. He has also been in the Central Plains for many years. There should be no problem with our communication!" Lin De smiled and introduced the negotiation partner in front of Mo Jun.

Lin De said to Nori Yuanli again, "This Mr. Mo is a staff member of Li Tongzhi and is also a member of the Jingzhao Army. He can fully represent Li Tongzhi. If Yuanli has any ideas, you can frankly say that there are no need to worry about it."

Yeli Yuanli hurriedly bowed to Mo Jun and said, "This military chaos is not the original intention of our chief, but Yelifeng and Xixia colluded to send troops. The old chief was so angry that he fell ill and unfortunately died of illness the day before yesterday."

Lin De was surprised, "Has the old chief passed away?"

Nori Yuanli nodded, "Now it is the young master Norimoto who takes over as chief."

At this time, Mo Jun asked coldly: "You bring a prison car, who is inside the car?"

Nori Yuanri sighed, "It is Ye Lifeng, the culprit of this rebellion. Our new chief has taken him down and given him to the court to apologize!"

Lin De said carefully again: "Mr. Mo, Ye Lisheng has always been loyal to the court. This time he did not hesitate to send his brother to apologize. It can be seen that they are sincere!"

Mo Jun shook his head, "As long-standing alone cannot solve the problem. We also hope to resolve it peacefully, but where is the basis for a peaceful solution? I can't see it yet."

"I wonder what the basis is that sir is referring to?" Nori Yuanli asked in confusion.

"The two counties of Qingdong and Beihe were captured and how many people were massacred. You are also robbing and killing people and setting fires in Qingzhou and Fuzhou. Do you think that sending a wild sharp front can bring you a truce?"

Speaking of this, Mo Jun stared at Yeli Yuanli with sharp eyes. Yeli Yuanli wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The captured population will definitely be released, the plundered wealth will be returned, and we will try our best to compensate the casualties."

Mo Jun nodded, "It seems that you are indeed sincere. Since that's the case, I will open the window and say something. We have three conditions. If we agree to these three conditions, then the war can end."

After saying that, Mo Jun handed a list to Yeli Yuanli. Lin De sighed secretly, "The price is too high, and the black party Xiang is originally a poor tribe, how can he afford to compensate?"

After reading the list, Nori Yuanli's face suddenly changed. He trembled and said, "We don't have that much money to compensate!"

"Why don't you have money? Don't you have the money to buy weapons and armor from Yang Lin?"

"Those silver was given to Ye Lifeng by Xixia. It has been spent. Our tribe is indeed very poor."

Mo Jun said calmly: "If you don't have money, you can get material compensation. We can accept sheepskin and medicinal materials. In short, the conditions cannot be changed, and you have not had much time."

Nori Yuanli was startled, "What does it mean to not have much time?"

Mo Jun said slowly: "I guess the commander has led his army to break through the Feituo unit by now!"

Nori Yuanri was so shocked that his heart was about to stop beating. After a while, he stuttered: "I want to go back and report to the chief!"

"Then it's better to go back now. The later it's going to be, the more unfavorable it will be for you."

Nori Yuanritsu left with a shallow kick, Lin De whispered: "Is it true? The command has already broken through the Feituo Division."

Mo Jun nodded, "From time, it has been broken."

Linde sighed, "I know them very well. They make some money by selling medicine and sheepskins. They ask them to compensate tens of thousands of pounds, but they really can't get it."

Mo Jun smiled and said, "Don't Lin Zhizhou understand yet? In fact, it is not about compensation, but about giving them a painful lesson. Otherwise, if the time is ripe in the future, they will have riots. Li Tongzhi kept telling me that they should not be too soft to these alien tribes. They will be arrogant, but they cannot be too hard. They will rebound. They must be soft and the other hand."

"But we ask for a price too high"

Mo Jun waved his hand, "I have said just now that this is just a means that they can't bear it. They can talk about it, but the premise is that they must surrender completely. Tongzhi has a proper position. He must kill and kill, and he will release what should be released. He will consider the actual difficulties of the black party and will not force them to a dead end, but his attitude must be done in place. The magistrate does not have to worry about this."

Lin De nodded. Although he had been in contact with Li Yanqing for a short time, he keenly felt that Li Yanqing was decisive and skillful in killing. This was clearly a kind of heroic temperament. Is it wise for the court to delegate him to Jingzhao to take charge of military power?

However, now Lin De's fate is in Li Yanqing's hands, and he has to throw away those doubts and cooperate with Li Yanqing wholeheartedly to conquer the black party Xiang.

.........

Just as Lin De was worried, the list of conditions offered by Li Yanqing immediately put great pressure on Ye Lisheng. In fact, he could not do any of these three things. At most, he would release the population plundered by Ye Lifeng, take back the property, and use Ye Lifeng's property to compensate for the debt. What about the other four companies?

So far, the other four families have not come to pay their respects to the chief, but they have asked them to give up their vital interests. How could it be done?

The reason why Yeli Yuanli received attention from the two brothers Yeli was that he was one of the few military advisors, cunning and knows how to stand at the most critical moment. He knew the chief’s concerns very well, and he also wanted to help the chief to make up for his mistakes in following Yelifeng.

Nori Yuanli pondered it and said carefully: "Chief, I sometimes think that it is not all bad to be violated by Feituo's tribe."

When talking about Feituo tribe, Ye Risheng felt a pain in his heart. Feituo tribe fell, almost all adult men were killed, women, children and children became prisoners of war, and the accumulation of a hundred years was plundered by the Song army. As the chief of the black party Xiang, how could he not feel hurt in his heart?

But Ye Lisheng had to admit that he still felt a little happy in his heart. Whoever asked Kemei not to come to pay homage to him or recognize his chief, who asked them to follow Ye Lifeng to cause trouble, and they were the only one who was killed now.

Norimatsu sighed, "I just hope the other three families learn from their lessons!"

At this time, soldiers reported outside the tent: "The chief, Nanli tribe, Yema tribe and Qijie tribe are here to pay a visit!"

"Please come in!"
