Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1052 The Battle of the Gentlemen
Feng Yuan nodded, without any nonsense, and said seriously: "The general situation is set, and the Taiwei's persistence will not change the general situation. Returning to the imperial court can still continue the glory of the Kan family. It will be decided soon."

Kan shook his head first, and said in a deep voice: "I know that it is impossible to do something about loyalty to the emperor. I hope the Taiwei will forgive me."

Feng Yuan frowned slightly, staring at Kan Xian with both eyes, sighing a bit authentically: "That's Yu Zhong, the Wei family originated from the Tuoba clan, and was originally the border guard of the Song Dynasty, but he stole the Dingnan Five States and expelled his brother Patriarch, killing the court envoys, such an unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unrighteous family, do you really want to die for it?"

Kan Xian smiled wryly. He wanted to argue but he had nothing to say. If he changed positions, he could refute forcefully. That would be dissatisfaction with the tyranny of the court. What right does he have to speak now? His hundreds of thousands of troops have arrived in the capital. The real people took advantage of the fire to rob, and the fall of Daxia was imminent.

Reason is the patent of the strong, even if the weak are wronged to the extreme, they are not qualified to sue.

"Seeing that the Taiwei is both wise and brave, if he can submit to the imperial court, it will not be difficult to take charge of the camp in the future and expand the territory for the people of the world." Feng Yuan saw that Kan was silent first, and then resorted to his trump card.

It is the dream of every warrior with great ambitions to be in charge of the camp and expand the territory. Kan Xian also knows the new military system of the Song Dynasty. The first level of the army is the pinnacle of leadership. Too bad he couldn't turn back.

Thinking of his own family, and the imminent burial of thousands of people, he was very unwilling and filled with resentment. He shook his head awkwardly, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you." Say it, and turned around resolutely and walked towards the camp .

Feng Yuan didn't give hope from the beginning, he believed in his own vision, Kan Xian was a persistent person, he would never abandon his loyalty for the sake of personal life and death, he just wanted to see his opponent, maybe it was just like what Wang Xiu said , Respect your opponent, even the enemy who fought you bloody to the end.

This kind of person may be foolish and loyal, but from another perspective, he might not be a respectable martyr. He said loudly, "Is it worth it?"

Kan Xian stopped suddenly, turned his head slowly and smiled, and said, "What about you?"

Feng Yuan grinned, clasped his hands together, said nothing, turned around and walked back, they completely left their backs to each other, they didn't take precautions, didn't need to take precautions, let alone thought about shooting from behind, even though he had 100% sure.

Between gentlemen, it's just a heart-to-heart exchange. With just a few words, you can trust each other. This is not pretentious, but genuine honesty.

When Feng Yuan returned to the army, his face became very serious. He called several generals in the army and said sharply: "Although Shibaozhai is small, it is related to the overall situation. From now on, concentrate all the forces of the army, regardless of day and night, don't worry about consumption. , I will enter the stockade at this time tomorrow."

Everyone was awe-inspiring, as a general in front of the palace, he knew Feng Yuan well, he was definitely a person who said nothing about it, he said when he entered the village, that was the time, there was no discount at all.

When everything became inevitable, the Song army broke out with powerful combat effectiveness, launching stone throwers and bed crossbows regardless of cost, and firing the stored iron shells and pear flower arrows at a low price, and the crossbowmen fired in three rows without interruption.

The baggage transfer troops are suffering. If you have to use modern words to describe it, it is one base ammunition in normal times, three bases in wartime, and five bases in wartime. At this time, they have to prepare five bases. use it.

The Song army's attack was strengthened several times, and the defenders were miserable. The fortifications that had just been repaired were wiped out in an instant, and even the granaries were blown down by iron cannonballs, causing a raging fire, and everyone had no food to eat.

The attacking troops of the Song Army reorganized into ten teams, wave after wave, storming without any gaps, and once again established a foothold.

Due to the fierce attack of the Song army, the defenders were overwhelmed, and the crossbowmen even came within [-] steps of the wall to support them. As long as the defenders dared to show their heads and fight back, they would be shot by crossbow arrows like a storm.

The crossbowmen's close support greatly encouraged the attacking troops, filled them with confidence in victory, and constantly aroused hysterical fanaticism.

In the continuous night of attack, the Song army suffered a lot of casualties, but made great progress. In a large-scale attack before dawn, the Song army took control of a section of the wall by using crossbow arrows to attack the gap. If it can succeed, the two sides are still confronting each other, and the Song army continues to increase its strength.

It can be seen from this that the fall of Shibaozhai was only a matter of time. Kan Xian knew very well that when he looked back at Feng Yuan, he was not surprised by the stormy blow from the resolute but regretful eyes of the other party.

From the moment he walked into the camp safely, he became even more certain that an upright gentleman who disdained to stab others in the back would definitely be terrifying in battle.

For this reason, he no longer kept it, and invested in the final reserve team, strictly ordering everyone in the position to fight until the last drop of blood was shed, and to kill the enemy to the maximum extent.

The battle on the wall was very fierce. Due to the desperate resistance of the defenders, it was difficult for the Song army to break through the wall. They were entangled in a small space and squeezed the opponent entirely by the strength of the group. It was deployed among the crowd, and people were hacked and killed every moment.

There were even brave warriors who were assassinated by the weak, and fell down with an unwilling roar.

With the coming of Xiangwu, the defenders who fought all day and night were exhausted, and their combat effectiveness gradually declined. The Song army was more and more numerous, and their advantages became more and more obvious. Half of the long wall was occupied, and the defenders were forced to retreat again and again.

"Follow me."

Kan Xian took a deep breath, knowing that the final decisive moment had come, and he should step into eternal silence. He brandished a saber and rushed into the crowd of Song soldiers who were rushing with more than a dozen soldiers.

There was a whining sound of the horse-chopping knife, and in a short while, three or five Song army officials fell under the knife. The mountains around him were all excited. Fighting, it was retreating steadily, even the general was beheaded, if ordinary troops would probably disperse in a hurry.

However, these arrogant soldiers in front of the palace are the elite of the Song army, and their fighting power is quite powerful. He was also hacked first, but fortunately his armor was excellent and he was not seriously injured.

"Hang on, beat them down." Kan Xian stared angrily, rushed forward recklessly, slashing wantonly with his big knife.

Although he is desperately afraid of dying, he is brave after all. There are many officials and scholars in the Song army. Overwhelming.
