Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1034 The Interference of the Golden Army

"Anyway, it's a concubine, it's not a big deal, it just so happens that you don't have a concubine yet." Wang Xiu said very indifferently, with a hint of teasing in her eyes.

It turned out that the Kingdom of Goryeo had envoys here long ago, and sent two daughters of the Li family, saying that one entered the palace to serve Zhao Guan's family, and the other served as his concubine.

Can he want the daughter of the Li family?Obviously it was impossible, the imperial edict obviously had Zhu Lian's intentions, and the words were very eloquent, which gave him a way out.This led to today's conversation, he asked Zong Liang to marry Li's daughter.

Although Goryeo wanted to curry favor with the Song Dynasty, Wang Kai could not refuse his kindness. Cui Ru and Li Zhong were both dukes, and the two daughters of the Li family obviously had a high status.

The one who entered the palace was lucky to say that it is fine to be a Wanyi, and to be favored by the emperor, it is a woman's luck, but it is fine to give birth to a prince who is a little lady, if it is a man, I am afraid that he will be a vassal king.

Being a concubine to Zong Liang is not an insult to him.

why?The King of Korea can only be equated with the vassal king of the Song Dynasty, and even not as noble as the vassal king. The position is naturally below the prime minister and above the county king. Compared with Zongliang's purple horse and jade belt, he has a bright future, and it will be a matter of time before he enters the two prefectures and seals the title of Kaiguo.

The daughter of a vassal minister's family is also qualified as a concubine. Even if the Korean side knows, there is nothing to say. Anyway, Wang Xianggong cannot afford it.

Zong Liang couldn't help but smiled wryly, he couldn't refuse at all, he said that when he grew up, he would do it for his family and country, but fortunately he was a concubine, if he was a wife, then it would be fine.

Not to mention Zongliang's helplessness, the Song army was extremely fierce under the city of Xingwei, and it was even more calm to waste.

With bursts of dull sounds, the huge black iron cannonballs slid across the air in graceful curves, and flew towards the city with a dull sound of breaking through the air. The range of this round of strikes was obviously adjusted, and the accuracy was extremely high.

The iron cannonballs fell on the city one after another, showing great destructive power. Houses were knocked down, there were violent explosions, blazing fires, dead bodies, and mournful wailing.

Wang Cunli was very sad and angry. He also had a trebuchet and a strong bow and crossbow, but in front of the Song Army's obviously improved projectile weapons, it was a joke. He could only be beaten on the scalp without any temper.

I once tried to sneak out of the city to attack, but because the opponent's trebuchet was placed too far away, I couldn't break through the defense several times. Instead, I lost many strong men, which was not worth the candle.

"It's time for the top of the city, go down and hide." He counted the time, his face changed drastically, and he hurried down the city.

However, one after another stone bombs were precisely smashed on the city wall, causing violent tremors. The outer bricks on the city wall were smashed, some were smashed directly, and what's more, some parts of the wall had already exposed the wall. , can collapse at any time.

Some artillery stones directly hit the top of the city, and the officials who couldn't avoid it were hit, and their flesh and blood flew all over the place.

When he had just arrived at the bottom of the city and looked back, he saw a stone bomb hit the top of the city not far away, smashing the two battlements to pieces, and falling into the city with splashing bricks and stones, five or six officials were crushed. When the stone was hit, the two fell to their deaths immediately, and the remaining few screamed and fell to the bottom of the city. I am afraid that such a high city wall can be regarded as an explanation.

Witnessing such a tragic and terrifying scene up close, even he shuddered, not to mention those ordinary officials, perhaps they would have been heartbroken long ago.

It is absolutely impossible to continue like this. He has set up a guard force at the head of the city. The number is not large, but it cannot withstand such consumption. Everyone is precious and cannot be wasted needlessly.

"They're going to attack." An official who was still standing firm at his post waved the flag in his hand immediately after the impact of the cannon stones decreased.

Wang Cunli hurried up the city, looking out through the dilapidated crenels, and saw that more than a thousand Song soldiers were approaching, carrying a simple climbing ladder, which was obviously a test, not enough to pose a huge threat to the defense.

In the north, smoke and dust rose in the sky, and the troops of the Song army were obviously mobilizing, which made him feel a glimmer of hope. It seemed that a support army had arrived.

Sure enough, as he had expected, thousands of black-clad and black-armored cavalry troops lined up in random formations, confronting them with crimson waves.

Chen Gao wore an iron pocket on his head, a black lacquered mountain armor, a short half-sleeved vest, and leather combat boots covered with steel leaves. A large gun in his hand was placed across the saddle bridge of the war horse. With bright eyes, he calmly looked at Xia Jun who was opposite him.

Hundreds of cavalry behind them, without exception, wore fine iron armor and a black half-sleeved short vest. The golden lion pattern embroidered on the vest showed that they were an elite cavalry team. Putting them at the forefront was enough to To illustrate this point.

He was recommended by Feng Yuan for surviving a catastrophe, and was assigned to the Yunjie Army. Because of his military exploits, he became an official official of the Ma Jun camp, and he was in charge of the most elite horse army of the Yun Jie Army. It is not too much to give a battalion command to shake the foundation of the Xia army and lead to the victory of the Yanzhou raid.

For half an hour, both sides were under the scorching sun, and everyone was sweating profusely. Although the sun hats were used to cover them, the iron armor on their bodies was getting hotter and hotter. It was better for those wearing leather armor, but the thick clothes on their bodies were still hot. It's so hot that you can't breathe, and most people drink water constantly to quench their thirst.

"These captives can really survive. Could it be that they are made of iron?" A team general was impatient with waiting, and he frowned and complained to Chen Gao.

Wearing thick sackcloth and iron armor on a hot day is uncomfortable. Chen Gao has experienced a nightmare of killings, and he has died twice before. How can he care about this grievance?He said slowly: "Hurry up, we will definitely take a detour later, and we will kill as many people as we want."

The team general laughed out loud, and the nearby officials couldn't help laughing too. The atmosphere eased a little, and everyone was not too nervous.The atmosphere before the war was the most tense, and even the strongest fighters would have no confidence in their hearts. Relieving the pressure of the atmosphere is an essential quality for a general.

"Okay, everyone, get ready, they can't help it anymore." Chen Gao glanced at the sun in the sky and couldn't help feeling dizzy. Not to mention their discomfort, the people on the other side felt even worse. If they didn't fight, they would have to retreat up.

Sure enough, when the two sides became more restless, it was surprising to find that the horse army on the opposite side was retreating.Yes, it was retreating under alternate cover, slowly withdrawing to the north, as if not worried about the Song army's attack.

Chen Gao was like Ming Jing in his heart, Song Jun would never go after him. This was not a problem that he could not fight, but that it was not appropriate to fight directly.
