Chapter 106 Light Rain (13)

The battle has just begun.

If Qin Wan hadn't brought the telescope, he would no longer see the Liao army standing in front of him.

The Liao people's offensives all stopped.

The battlefield was quiet, as if peace had finally come.

But Qin Wan would never think that the Liao army would stop there.`

The Liao people demolished all the houses in the town and transported all the wood inside. So much good wood is not just used to build camps.

The Liao Kingdom has been cultivating craftsmen for so many years, and even listed the work of craftsmen as the foundation of the country. If the craftsmen trained by the Liao Kingdom spent ten years to even rush into chariots and thieves, such as the most basic siege equipment, then the Liao Kingdom would not dare to provoke the Song Dynasty this time.

All the people who were supposed to collect were taken into the city, and Qin Wan arranged manpower to check along the sheep and horse wall and the inner embankment of the moat to see if there were any survivors who could be rescued.

The five-meter-wide moat swallowed at least a few hundred lives. As long as Song Jun turned his head, he could see several corpses floating in the water. Qin Wan would not blame him for their death, but after arranging people to clear the river, the chill in his eyes became even deeper.

"Maintain, should you go back first?" Wang Shu asked.

There is no trace of the enemy in front of you, and standing on the stone bridge and being sunny, it doesn’t seem to be meaningless. There are nearly ten thousand people in the city, including dragons and snakes. I don’t know how many spies from the Liao Kingdom are, and that is the one who is the one who is intimate.

"It's just right for those people to be arranged." He said.

"No," Qin Wan said while holding up the telescope, "If the Liao people are not confused, they will not leave us time to rectify the internal affairs."

If there is an hour of free time, Qin Wan can drive enough manpower to identify the people included in the city. At least 1,800 women and children can be allowed to enter the city, and the urn can become looser and faster. So as not to die of heatstroke in one day, saving people will turn into killing people. But Qin Wan never thought that the enemy could be so considerate.

The sound of the horn resounded throughout the field.

Qin Wan snorted, and as he expected, the Liao army launched a new wave of offensive again.

Wang Shuyuan looked over and his face turned pale even more.

This time, the refugees from the Song State were no longer driven away, but trenches.

The bridge panel several meters long, with six wheels installed under it, pushed by more than a dozen people, appeared at different exits of the tunnel.

But there are more than 30 on this side of the West City. If the same is true on the other three sides, there will be more than 100 trench bridges.

Wang Shu was frightened to find that the tunnel that besieged Tianmen Village like a spider web could unknowingly accommodate a trench bridge several meters long and five feet wide.

Perhaps the parts were assembled near the exit, but the spacecraft police whistle above Tianmen Village did not notice this at all, which also proved the ability of the Liao people.

"Why didn't the cannon sound?!" Wang Shu shouted.

Qin Wan said, "The target is too small, you have to be close to it." After stopping, he added, "Don't worry, we still have sheep and horse walls, and grenades."

Wang Shu shook his head. The moat has been broken through. How long can the sheep and horse wall last? Could it be that the Liao people would only build trenches and bridges?

As for grenades and bullets, there are indeed Tianmen Village, but it consumed a lot of them during the night attack before, and the number was not large.

The trained grenades can throw standard grenades and bombs to twenty steps. If they are the Grand Marshal Li Xin, who is the best in the army to throw grenades, it is not surprising that fifty steps are not surprising. The Guangxin Army next door was once under the control of Li Xin, and there are also a group of grenades who are good at throwing spears.

However, there are not so many high-level grenades in Tianmen Village - many died in battle before - the best record is thirty-five steps, which is a little further than the effective range of the tiger squat cannon.

"The chief minister, I have to let Kong Qing go out." Wang Shu rarely suggested to Qin Wan with a tough attitude.

Only by dispatching cavalry immediately to burn the moat is the safest way to Tianmen Village.

The most effective way to deal with siege equipment is to go out to fight back. Siege weapons such as trench bridges, nesting vehicles, rushing vehicles, and cloud ladders are all made of wooden objects. It is the most worry-free to burn them with a fire, and there are no future troubles. If you wait until it is pushed under the city wall before solving it, the risk will be much greater.

Qin Wan suddenly fell silent, without saying a word, holding a telescope facing the enemy formation. However, on the back of his hand, blue veins bulged, and his knuckles turned white.

"Maintain!" Wang Shu didn't notice this and called Qin Wan in a louder voice.

"It's all Song people again." Qin Wan squeezed out a sentence from her throat.

"What?" Wang Shu didn't hear it clearly.

Qin Wan grabbed the telescope in front of Wang Shu’s chest and put it on his eyes. His voice was so light that it didn’t look like his personality at all. “Look at it carefully!”

Wang Shu raised his hand and grabbed the lens barrel, adjusted it for a while, and then saw the cart pusher next to the car from the telescope, and his body suddenly became cold.

The people who pushed the cart were all dressed in Han family, all in rags. They were driven away by the cavalry behind them and pushed the trench bridges quickly.

When these trenches are built on the moat, the five-meter-wide moat water will no longer become a danger to attack Tianmen Village.

"Why are there so many people?" Wang Shu exclaimed in surprise.

"Although Ansu doesn't have much household registration, it is actually at least 120,000 yuan." Qin Wan said calmly.

The Ansu Army, Guangxin Army, and northern Baozhou have a population of more than 200,000. Even if most of them are strong and rather die than surrender, the remaining half of the Liao people arrested 20,000 or 30,000 people, which is not worthy of surprise.

"The Chief Executive, what should I do?" Wang Shu asked.

According to Qin Wan's approach just now, they could not fight at all, but if the Liao people just sent captured Chinese people to cooperate in the attack, would they die if they had to close their eyes?

Qin Wan put down the telescope, shook her head and sighed, "It's all Ding Zhuang."

The old, weak, women and children who could be found in the Liao people are now all in the urn of Tianmen Village. Wang Shu said coldly, "Of course only Ding Zhuang."

The elderly, weak, women and children had no strength and were not useful, so they were driven over first. And the worst of Ding Zhuang was the one who had the strength to dig the tunnel, and they were also the ones who built camps for the Liao people. When everything was ready, their last part was also used by the Liao people.

"The Chief Executive," Wang Shu's voice slowed down a little, "The Tianmen Village can no longer hold so many people."

There were only more than 10,000 more people in Tianmen Village, and the attack passage in the city was immediately blocked. Even if the Ximen could still be used, the other three city gates were missing, so the Liao people only needed to be prepared for the Ximen to send troops. The tactics of combining virtual and real are simply useless.

The Liao people's intention was this. Regardless of whether Tianmen Village accepts more than 10,000 people from the previous days, when more than 10,000 elderly, weak, women and children are driven to Tianmen Village. The tactic of leaving the city to fight is equivalent to being blocked by the Liao army.

More than 10,000 people in the city - dare not go out.

More than 10,000 people outside the city - how to get out?

Whether it is strategy or tactics, the less choice you can choose, the more you are at a disadvantage.

We cannot fight on the city, but can only rely on high walls. In the law of defending the city, it has reached the most critical level. It is equivalent to when China is separated from north to south, the Southern Dynasty was unable to maintain the Jianghuai line and could only defend the south bank of the Yangtze River.

In the Southern Chen and Southern Tang, no matter which country is in the south, after losing the Jianghuai barrier, it will have no way to be defeated.

On that day, there was only one city wall left in the village. No matter how tall and there were many artillery, how long could it last ten times the Liao army's strength?

Qin Wan whispered, "It seems that the Liao people really want to capture Tianmen Village today."

"Chief, do you still need to be sheltered?" Wang Shu asked sternly.

Qin Wan looked up at the scorching sun in the sky. In just a moment, she was dazzled. He sighed, "The old, weak, women and children are weak, unable to resist the thief, and are helpless."

As for the adult man, Qin Wan didn't say anything, and there was no need to say anything.

Wang Shu felt a little relieved, at least Qin Wan did not have the kindness of a woman.

He heard Qin Wan shout again, "Ma Yuan!"

A personal soldier bowed his head and clasped his fists. It was the one who was outside the city, "The villain is here."

Qin Wan pointed ahead, and the trench bridges were pushed faster and faster, and even dust was crushed out, becoming more and more aggressive. "What do you think?" he asked.

Ma Yuan's face had already turned pale, just as there might be his mother and sister among the people before. Now among the people who are pushing the cart, there may be his father and brother, struggle, hesitation, resentment, and all kinds of emotions passing by on his face, and finally turned into peace.

He knelt down on his knees and pressed his forehead against the ground, "Please give them some pleasure!" Even he knew that they could not save them.

As the personal soldiers knelt down, another officer of the same local origin also knelt down in front of Qin Wan, with a sincere love saying, "The chief minister of the capital is a great man and righteousness, we all witness it with our own eyes. But if we are tolerant of them again, there will be no 20,000 people in Tianmen Village, and no one will survive. Please inspect the chief minister!"

The officers and soldiers who took the initiative to follow Qin Wan to fight gave up their responsibilities at this moment and persuaded each other, "The chief of the capital is kind and righteous, and he will cherish the people in the city!"

"I'm still in front of the formation!" Wang Shu roared at the officers and soldiers, "You are not included in the list yet!" After cursing for a few words, he turned around, "Maintain, can't hesitate anymore."

Qin Wan sighed and shook her head, she really couldn't protect her.

"Go back to the city!"

With the order of Qin Wan, the soldiers who went to fight returned to the city in an orderly manner under the leadership of the officers. It was like a long whale sucking water. In a blink of an eye, only Qin Wan and a few personal guards were left at the gate.

Qin Wan left in the end.

The trench bridge that was rushing to the front was approaching, and the Khitan cavalry who were urging the Han people to push the bridge, saw the flags isolated on the bridge, and then rushed over with a bunch of horse heads.

The artillery that had been silent for a moment finally began to make sound at this time. One of the cavalry shot accurately hit one of the cavalrymen.

The upper body on the horse's back suddenly disappeared, and the shock wave brought by the shell also pressed the war horse to the ground, and the lower half of the waist was still straddled on the horse's back, exposing its white spine to the sun.

Seeing the result of this comrade, the rest of the Khitan cavalry could not help but slow down.

Qin Wan looked at the battlefield deeply and turned back to the city.

To fight against foreign countries, he must first settle the country. Now he must deal with spies placed in the city as soon as possible under the offensive of the Liao people to deal with the more fierce offensive in the afternoon or evening.

The gate slowly fell down and the gate slowly closed. Qin Wan walked out of the deep door hole and walked into the urn.

Hundreds of soldiers and more than a hundred common people made the city of turrets narrow.
