The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 560 The Beginning of Siege
"The sage has a saying: Good birds choose trees to live in, and good ministers choose their masters to serve. Dajin's Qing Prince Nurhachi is exactly the posture of the Ming Lord, and it is based on the words of the sages to take refuge in the Ming Lord." Kong Youde not only There is no attenuation above the momentum, but plausible arguments are more justified.

"The Northern Sect of the Confucian Mansion can produce a talent like you. Kong Qinli is really good at managing the family. He is sincere and righteous, cultivates himself and manages the family. He can't even manage the family. What is he talking about governing the country and the world?!"

Yu Yanyi didn't get entangled in this matter, but unexpectedly brought the topic to Kong Qinli.

But it was this move that made Kong Youde's complexion suddenly change.

The reason why the Northern Sect of the Confucian Mansion sent people to join Houjin Nurhachi was because they were optimistic about Nurhachi's potential and pledged their allegiance to the new king in advance.

But investing in advance does not mean that you have to put all your money on it.

Kong Qinli, the Dongge University scholar, is still in Shendu, which shows that the Kong family is still loyal to Da Zhou, and just wants to invest in Hou Jin in advance, and has no intention of stud at all.

So when Yu Yanyi mentioned Kong Qinli, Kong Youde's expression changed.

If it was because of him that Zhou Ting started to target the Kong family, it would be very bad!
Not to mention that Yu Yanyi now holds great power and supervises seven prefectures; even if the original Martial Arts Hall scholar wants to deal with a Guozijian Jijiu who has no real power, it is not difficult.

Moreover, Yu Yanyi is not a pure disciple of Confucianism, and he will not show mercy when he starts to fight.

So Kong Youde immediately pretended to be angry, "I was originally a mixed blood of Mohe and Zhou people, and I was discriminated against in the mansion! Now finally, when Prince Qing leads an army to the Central Plains, I will naturally pledge my allegiance to him!"

Kong Youde said this on purpose, wanting to break away from the Northern Sect of the Confucian Mansion.

But Yu Yanyi just smiled on the city wall. What's the use of such a trick in his eyes? !

He could clearly see Kong Youde's little expression.

"Don't talk about it, talk about it!" Although Zhao Tianlin was born as a military general with a long career, but in terms of verbal skills, he is still inferior to many scholars like Kong Youde. Hearing Kong Youde's sophistry here, Zhao Tianlin was furious. up!
"I am ordered by Prince Qing to negotiate peace with the Great Zhou! As long as Master Yu can represent the Great Zhou Emperor and agree to our terms, we will retreat immediately!"

Zhao Tianlin was about to refuse, when Yu Yanyi beside him said flatly: "Old General Zhao, calm down! Listen to his conditions first!"

Although Zhao Tianlin is an old senior, but after all, Yu Yanyi is the current coach of the Jinyang defense line, so he temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart, and Zhao Tianlin said loudly: "Say it, how do you negotiate a peace?"

Kong Youde smiled slightly, and took out a piece of sheepskin from his sleeve. Of course, it was not because Hou Jin was too poor to produce paper, but to negotiate peace with sheepskin, which is the tradition of the Mohe tribes.

"First, ask the emperor of Zhou to reward the officers and men of Mohe; second, cede the three prefectures of You, Ji, and Bing; third, pay 50 taels of silver, 10 taels of gold, and 100 taels of grain and grass to Houjin every year; fourth, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty As a younger brother, the Emperor Dajin is a brother, and the two sides are a country of brothers, and they will form an alliance forever; [-]. Offer the princess as the concubine of His Majesty the Emperor Dajin! [-]...."

After Kong Youde stated the terms of the peace negotiation one by one, the Zhou army on the city wall could no longer suppress their anger.

From another point of view, Kong Youde can also be regarded as a pig teammate.

These conditions for peace negotiations also completely aroused the morale of Zhou Jun.

Zhao Tianlin's eyes were about to burst, and he interrupted Kong Youde when he heard the fifth item, "You don't need to read any more! The founding ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Gao, said that all the kings and ministers of the descendants of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not allowed to pay tribute to the enemy. Ceding land, getting married, proclaiming ministers, anyone who violates it is not a member of my Great Zhou. Your Majesty will not agree to your conditions, you should go back and prepare your troops, and both sides will see the truth... despicable!"

Just as Zhao Tianlin on the city wall was furious and yelling loudly, someone next to Kong Youde pretended to shoot an arrow at the left chest of the coach Yu Yanyi.

Zhao Tianlin used to be a general who commanded thousands of troops across the battlefield, a martial artist in the Yuanhua realm, immediately drew out the long sword at his waist, trying to stop the sword.

But the archers are extremely skilled in archery, Zhao Tianlin is still a step too late.

Just when everyone thought they were about to hit him, they felt a blur in front of their eyes, and a white silk ribbon appeared in front of Yu Yanyi. It was just a light roll, and that strand had the potential to pierce the clouds and the sun, piercing through gold and stone. The mighty arrows turned into powder.

Although Zhao Tianlin's martial arts and reactions were not at their peak due to the aging of his physical skills,

But veteran Yu Wei is still there.

Zhao Tianlin immediately took a strong bow from the hand of the strong attacker on one side, opened the bow and set up an arrow, and shot at the master archer who stabbed in the back.

The opponent's reaction was also quick, and he immediately drew his bow and set up an arrow, and shot an arrow.

The arrows of both sides crossed in mid-air, and the opponent's arrow was deflected by Zhao Tianlin's palm force.

But Zhao Tianlin's arrow went straight to his face.

Although Mohe Archer tried his best to dodge, Zhao Tianlin's feathered arrow still hit the face door, leaving a shallow wound.

This round, the veteran Zhao Tianlin was the better player.

Seeing that Yu Yanyi was protected by experts, Kong Youde also put away a blank sheepskin in his hand, shook his head and returned to the formation.

Then he fell off his horse and knelt down in front of Nurha Chi's horse, "My lord! I have humiliated my mission, please forgive me!"

Originally, Kong Youde wanted to take advantage of Zhou people's inertia of thinking, and shot and killed Yu Yanyi by surprise during the negotiation.

When Yu Yanyi died, half of Jinyang City fell.

But unexpectedly, Yu Yanyi would be accompanied by a master of the Dongxuan Realm at any time.

The turtle on the other side saw Kong Youde to plead guilty, and was considering whether to plead guilty together, after all, Kong Youde had just helped him before, and now he has to express himself, but why should he plead guilty!Could it be that he sneezed just now, which affected the arrow? !
But when Biebai was thinking hard about how to bear the responsibility together, Nurhachi had dismounted himself and helped Kong Youde up.

"Mr. is a great talent, what's wrong with it?! If this plan fails, it's not Mr.'s fault!"

The turtle on the side feels that the joys and sorrows of people are not the same, why is there such a big difference in the attitude towards Kong Youde and towards himself? !
Since it's not enough to stab someone in the back, then there is only a strong attack!
Under the order of Nurhachi, Prince of Hou Jinqing, the dull sound of horns sounded, and the soldiers of Hou Jin slowly launched the siege equipment of the Zhou army obtained from the counties of Jizhou and Bingzhou. Make steady progress towards the city wall.

"Shields step forward! Bowmen shoot arrows!"

Under the command of the generals, the Zhou army on the city wall began to defend in an orderly manner.

A rain of arrows slanted down from the city wall.

The Zhou army in the city has plenty of arrows, and in the workshops in the city, craftsmen are still making them.

In the warehouse of Jinyang City, there are many materials for making feather arrows.

"Shoot!"

Under the order, the Mohe soldiers also started to fight back.

Mohe is originally a family of fishing and hunting, and his riding skills may not be good, but his shooting skills must be good.

But after all, it was a bottom-up attack, and the power of the arrow was greatly reduced.

Fortunately, Zhou Jun's arrows could not easily tear the armor of Mohe soldiers like before!
Houjin's smelting technology was extremely poor, and neither the quality nor the quantity of smelted iron could meet their armament needs. That's why so many merchants smuggled salt and iron to Jianzhou to earn high profits.

In the past, ordinary post-gold soldiers used wooden shields and leather armor.

In the face of ordinary feathers and arrows, wooden shields and leather armor can still resist, but in the face of strong bows and crossbows, it is difficult to protect them completely, which is no different from paper.

However, because of the capture of many counties and counties in Jizhou, Hou Jin obtained a large number of iron armor and steel shields.

It was one of the reasons why they dared to attack the city directly.

It's a pity that these iron armors can't completely resist the damage from the feather arrows.

Because on the tower of the east main gate, there are two thousand divine machine crossbows.

The Shenji crossbow is a single-shot infantry crossbow among the Wednesday crossbows. It does not have the mystical magic of firing ten arrows in succession like the Xuanji crossbow, nor does it have the power to attack cities and break walls like the Tianji crossbow.

Being able to rank among the three crossbows, the divine machine crossbow naturally has its strengths.

Sunder armor, penetrate iron armor, and penetrate deep into steel shields.

This is the power of the Divine Machine Crossbow.

The Shenji crossbow is a masterpiece of Gongjia after the improvement of the original Song Dynasty's divine arm bow.

The body of the crossbow is made of sandalwood, the tip of the spear is made of iron, the hair of the horse's face is made of copper, the string is made of silk and isinglass, and spring steel is used as the auxiliary. Inch, the arrow wood feather is several inches long, shoot 440 five steps, and can penetrate half an inch into the iron sheet.

Stretch it with the stirrup from the ground, shoot 450 steps, and be able to pierce the hole again, which is called "magic machine".

The Shenji crossbow is a crossbow with a partial frame, the bow body is placed vertically instead of horizontally, and the feather arrow is pressed on the right side instead of above.

With this design, the Divine Machine Crossbow, like ordinary bows, can also be aimed with the bow mark in the projected state.

Although crossbows are more powerful than bows, their flaws are also very obvious.

The horizontal direction is too wide to form a dense formation; the rate of fire is slow; the height of the sight is limited, and it can only be used for direct shooting. In the projectile state, it is not only impossible to aim, but the crossbow arm will block the target and so on.

The God-machine crossbow overcomes most of the shortcomings of the traditional crossbow. The vertical bow body also allows the god-machine crossbow to form a dense formation. The shooting accuracy is better than that of the bow, and it is easier to operate and learn than the bow.

With the tilt of armor-piercing feather arrows on the city wall, Mohe soldiers in iron armor also fell to the ground one after another.

The rate of fire and the number of people are doomed that the magic crossbow can only delay Mohe's attack rhythm, but cannot completely stop Mohe's attack.

After a while, the Mohe people were already close to the moat.

Nurhachi had obviously studied Da Zhou's method of defending the city, and had been prepared with sandbags early on and placed them in the siege vehicle.

A large number of soldiers took out sandbags from the siege vehicles and threw them into the moat.

If you want to attack Jinyang on a large scale, you must first fill in the moat.

But planks can be laid first, and then a small number of soldiers and siege vehicles can cross the river first.

As the long planks were erected, countless soldiers crossed the moat from the planks.

"Mysterious crossbow! Shoot at the Mohe soldiers on the wooden board!"

"The Divine Machine Crossbow continues to suppress the enemy's rear!"

"Strong Bow gives priority to shooting Mohe soldiers holding ladders!"

Although the archers of Mohe also fought back vigorously, the shields on the city wall seemed to erect a shield wall. The Zhou army on the city wall could fight back through the gaps between the iron shields, but the arrows of the Mohe soldiers could not pass through the iron shields. .

In fact, it is not that there is no magic crossbow in the Mohe army.

When Tumubao was defeated, the Mohe people obtained more than [-] crossbows, including many magic crossbows.

But Nurhachi was used to living in poverty, and when he saw such excellent weapons, he was reluctant to use them, and distributed them all to his guards.

And those who attacked the city on the first day were not Nurhachi's personal soldiers. As cannon fodder, if he could distribute the iron armor and steel shield, it was Nurhachi who put the overall situation first. It's daydreaming.

Kong Youde, who was under the city wall, was also observing the situation on the city wall, and then he clipped his horse's belly and came to the side of the sharp archer just now.

The name of the archer is Amu Rutaiqi, and he is the general of the Yellow Banner among the Eight Banners under Nurha Chi's command.

"General Amuru! Do you see the shield wall that suddenly erected above it? Later, I will let the catapults be thrown in that direction. Once there is a chance, I will ask General Amuru to shoot and kill another week. The generals of the army, increase the morale of our army and destroy the enemy's prestige!"

Amulu Taiqi smiled and nodded at Zhang Hongfan and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Kong! Just leave it to me!" Just now, Kong Youde created a mobile phone opportunity for him in the name of negotiating peace. Kong Youde looked at him with admiration. In the eyes of Amulu Taiqi, Kong Youde was a man of great wisdom.

As soon as Kong Youde opened his mouth at this moment, Amurutezi fully agreed.

Following Kong Youde's order, the eighteen catapults in the rear army moved at the same time. , 18 yuan boulder flew out.

Just when Amulutai was fully focused and ready to make a move, an embarrassing thing happened.

Because Nurhachi was worried about Zhou's craftsmen, all those who operated the catapults were soldiers of the Mohe tribe who had just started.

It's not that Houjin doesn't have catapults, but Houjin's catapults and Dazhou's catapults are completely different in terms of targeting system and range.

It is not an easy task to skillfully control Zhou Jun's catapult.

The soldiers of the Mohe tribe, who had just gotten started, couldn't accurately control where the boulders would fall.

The 18-yuan boulders just shot out fell in front of the city wall of Jinyang, causing considerable casualties to Mohe soldiers.

The furthest one among the eighteen was just barely thrown into the moat.

Kong Youde and Amuru were speechless, what kind of situation is this!
Seeing this scene, Zhou Jun on the city wall couldn't help but boost his morale.

Sometimes pig team players can boost morale better than god teammates!
The cloud ladder team at the forefront of the siege still put the ladder on the city wall.

But what was waiting for them was the strong Zhou Junli warrior who had already prepared and held a putter.

These people selected athletes from the army, and the only criterion was strength.

They waited on the city wall with forked poles in their hands. Once the ladder was on the wall, they immediately pushed the ladder away with push rods.

The Mohe soldiers who were climbing the ladder didn't know what happened when they saw the ladder fall and fell heavily on the ground.

After the Jin army attacked for two hours, there was not even a single soldier who could touch the top of the city wall!

Only more than [-] corpses were left under Jinyang City.

　Sorry, just made a mistake!
