Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 350

The grass grows and the warblers fly, and the gongs and drums outside Daizhou City are noisy. The small town has changed its appearance now. Nearby, 6 or [-] troops of the Qin army gathered, which is really a sea of ​​people, boundless.

Unknowingly, the Liao army outside the city had been besieged for six days. Shi Congyun specially arranged scouts at the head of Daizhou city to observe the situation of the Liao army in the town condescendingly.

A few days ago, at night, they demolished the houses and used them to keep warm, but after all, there were thousands of people. Ma rushed out of Daizhou City and excitedly came to report to him the situation of the Liao army.

"Officials! The Khitans are killing horses!"

After hearing this, Shi Congyun immediately got out of the big tent, looked to the north, and said happily: "Killing the horses means that they are almost done! It is estimated that the food and grass are almost exhausted, and if they starve for a few more days, they will not have the strength to try their best."

"The official family is really, really bad!" The soldier next to him said happily.

"What are you talking about, the officials are wise and powerful, and they have no plans! How can the Khitan people compete with the officials with a little knowledge!" The accompanying secretary even corrected, saying that scholars speak differently.

Shi Congyun was very happy, "Let the soldiers sing and sing when they have nothing to do, especially at night, sing louder, so that they can sleep soundly! The catapults in the south should not be idle, and throw some stones into them at night.

If you dare to come to my territory in Qin State, you have to treat them well and let them remember it for a lifetime! "

Everyone laughed, "I'm afraid it will be the next life!"

The orderly immediately mounted his horse and delivered the order.

"This is an ambush from ten sides, besieged on all sides!" The clerk was very excited, seeing such a big scene for the first time.

Ma Pijing, a member of the living room, said in a serious manner: "The official, I heard that the official took the lead near Xinkou a few days ago, led the army to charge the battle, killed a hundred people and broke the Liao army's formation. I don't know if it is true or not?"

Others would never ask the emperor what he said, but the living room is different. The living room is also called the living man. The officials set up in the Sui Dynasty are mainly responsible for recording the words and deeds of the emperor at any time, and then compiling them into a book, which has become an important part of many history books. Historical sources.

Because of this, Ma Pijing ran with the emperor, and the battlefield did not fall behind.

As soon as Shi Congyun said this, before Shi Congyun opened his mouth, the soldiers beside him said together: "That can still be fake, I will follow the officials to charge into the battle, and I will see it with my own eyes."

"The officials put on armor and held spears, at least two hundred were killed!"

"It's useless to talk about the official's ability, it must be true"

"."

Everyone said one sentence to another, making Shi Congyun's thick old face a little red, and even stopped them: "Stop, stop, stop, don't listen to their nonsense, I know this matter well.

You just do what I said. "

Ma Pi nodded in shock, prepared the bamboo slips, and licked the writing brush he took out from his pocket.

"It is true that I lead the charge in a strong and sharp manner, but the first to break into the formation is the Jincheng army led by Yang Jiye.

I didn't kill any two hundred people, but I still worked hard. I stabbed twenty people to death casually. You can remember it. I don't want to show off to future generations.

What is important for a good emperor is to strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away, not to fight bravely. This small achievement does not need to be described in a big way. "

Ma Pi nodded in surprise, and wrote down everything the officials said,

"Officials are so brave! There is no one in the past, even the overlord of Chu back then." The secretary in charge said with admiration.

Shi Congyun laughed, shook his head and said, "I'm not as brave as Xiang Yu, but it's about the same. It's about the same."

"The official family is a place where heroes are useless, otherwise we would have to kill a hundred of them!
Besides, Xiang Yu is the courage of a common man, how can it compare with the official's Wen Tao Wu Lue, Wen Cheng Wu De."

Everyone praised him, and Shi Congyun's heart was in full bloom, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. It was a harmonious scene where the monarch and his ministers get along with each other. Outsiders couldn't help but praise that it was a model of a monarch and his ministers.

I don’t know if the courtiers are happy or not. Emperor Shi was very comfortable being flattered. In the end, Lang Ma Pijing also truthfully recorded this battle. More than fifty people, the bandits were defeated, the three armies fought bravely to be the first, defeated the Liao army in the south of Xinkou, and captured [-] people.
Shi Congyun was very pleased with the factual records of the official historian, and even praised a few words. He was very excited. He could almost imagine what a wise and mighty monarch he would be in the eyes of future generations, and how many people would praise him. His literary and military strategies are brave and invincible, and it is humility to say that ten thousand enemies are invincible.

Unknowingly, at the beginning of April, spring has passed, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the situation of the Liao army in the town is getting more and more difficult.

Unknowingly, the siege has lasted for 20 days, and the Liao army in the encirclement has demolished all the houses, cut down all the trees, and even ate almost all the bark and horses.

Many people were so hungry that they wanted to come out and surrender, but they all fell under the arrows.

As time went by, the Liao army had no chance.

On the 20th day, the scouts at the top of the city reported to Shi Congyun with horror and joy that the Liao army had already experienced cannibalism.

After hearing this, Shi Congyun thought for a while, "Let them starve for a few more days."

"promise!"

"Also, we have had a good harvest in Hebei this year, and Luzhou and Taiyuan have also seized a lot. Let the soldiers eat well, eat and drink enough to fight, and eat in front of the Liao people."

"promise!"

After making all the arrangements, Shi Congyun lay comfortably on the bed brought by the eunuch, looking at the mountains and rivers in the distance, feeling extremely happy.

In mid-April, the weather was hot and food and water were cut off. The Liao army risked their lives to fetch water from the east river for several days, and they spent all night, but most of them died under the strong bow and crossbow of the Qin army.

The army can survive for many days without food, but it cannot survive without water.

The few horses were eaten up early, and the situation of people eating and killing each other also happened in the encirclement. The situation was already very tragic. The bad people were crying and kneeling out to beg for surrender. The Qin army carried out the emperor's order and returned arrows arrow.

Seven days into the siege of No.20, the soldiers at the top of the city reported that the Liao army in the town started fighting by themselves, because they had no food, and they were starving to death. Looking for the Qin army outside was courting death. The only one who could fight Only our own people have lived, and only biological instinct remains.

This kind of siege is cruel. Shi Congyun remembers that in the Five Dynasties, there was an army besieging the city for a year. As a result, the population of the city dropped from 10 to [-] to [-]. The people inside were not killed by the enemy, but were eaten by their own people. .

At the beginning of the Battle of Changping, after the Zhao army led by Zhao Kuo was surrounded by the Qin army, there were also incidents of quietly killing people and sharing food.

At this point, it is impossible for the army to have any combat power, and the Liao army may have been too hungry to resist.

No.20 On the morning of the [-]th, Shi Congyun ordered people to wear clothes for himself, brought a horizontal knife, fed the horses, and then went to the town in person, accompanied by many civil and military personnel, everyone looked excited and nervous.

Shi Congyun looked at the town to the north from a distance, and said, "I know a hundred victories from a distance, and I will pay back by sweeping the ghosts!"

(Ah, I have to be on duty this year because I can’t go home during the Chinese New Year. I was sad all night, and I forgot the codeword)
