Chapter 705 The Overfed Song Dynasty Scholar
The Liao army attacked the camp, but Cao Bin did not notice it.

After tossing and tossing all night, more than [-] wild boars were caught, and not far from the camp, a group of cages where the wild boars were held and several gongs were found.

Obviously, the so-called Liao people's attack on the camp was a means of exhausting the enemy planned by Handerang.

There were more than [-] wild boars, and hundreds of thousands of troops made a noise, which did not stop all night.

The wild boar was slaughtered by the Huotou army, and a bowl of broth was added to the soldiers.

After eating and drinking enough, the hundreds of thousands of troops who were exhausted could only rest in broad daylight.

This sleep lasted for more than ten hours.

After everyone got enough sleep, it was already early morning of the next day.

In the early hours of the morning, Han Derang still sent people to implement the method of exhausting the enemy, but Cao Bin, who had been prepared for a long time, saw through and deployed scouts in advance.

Those sent by Han Derang became the souls of the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

After eating and sleeping well.

Cao Bin rectified military affairs and began to implement the battle plan for Youzhou City.

Han Derang has hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Youzhou City, and it is very difficult for Cao Bin to rely on tricks to win.

Only head-to-head shopping.

When the strength of the troops has reached the level of both of them, small conspiracies and tricks cannot be brought to the fore.

Fire attack and water attack did not have much effect on the defense of Youzhou City.

At this time, the fight is about who has the most troops and who is brave enough.

There were no loud proclamations, and no swearing-in sessions.

After the army was assembled, the siege campaign was launched amidst the dull sound of drums.

Although the armor of the imperial army of the Song Dynasty is strong, it has no characteristics when fighting.

Several times the bows and crossbows pressed the ground, and the soldiers of the imperial army wore thick infantry armor and advanced step by step.

It is worth mentioning that there are many bows and crossbows in Youzhou City. In terms of quantity, although there are not as many as the soldiers of the Imperial Army, they have all the bows and crossbows that the soldiers of the Imperial Army should have.

The bed crossbow erected on the city wall was equipped with a crossbow gun.

With a burst shot, it can easily penetrate the thick infantry armor of the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty.

At the same time, the huge force carried on the crossbow gun will push the person who was shot to the back together, piercing through the next Imperial Guard soldier and knocking down a large area.

If Yang Qi was here and saw the Liao soldiers driving the bed crossbows and wantonly shooting and killing the soldiers of the Great Song Imperial Army, he would definitely curse at his mother.

Damn literati, damn Zeng Gongliang.

Although Zeng Gongliang was not born yet, what he did was enough for Yang Qi to remember him.

Cai Lun improved paper, and Bi Sheng invented movable type printing.

This provides great convenience for scholars all over the world.

Ever since, those civil servants of the Song Dynasty who had a vegetarian meal with their corpses, in order to leave their names in history, began to learn from the books written by the ancient sages.

These civil servants are particularly particular about writing books.

It can even be said that it is so rigorous that if there is a slight mistake, it will make you feel uncomfortable.

Some people even abused their power in order to obtain some secret data.

Ever since, a famous painting called "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival" appeared.

The painting is a good painting, but unfortunately, it is because it is so good and so real.

The layout of the Song Dynasty in Bianjing City, and even the defense of Bianjing City, etc., have been leaked.

If others want to attack Bianjing City, they don't need to send any spies to take the trouble to investigate. They just need to buy a fake "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

In addition to "A Picture of Shanghe During the Qingming Festival", there are countless books and paintings that reveal the military secrets of the Song Dynasty to the outside world with great fanfare.

Some books clearly describe the military strength, deployment, and subordinate departments of the Song Dynasty in Bianjing City.

Some books fully record some advanced things and technologies of the Song Dynasty, without any mistakes or omissions.

What's more, they will clearly write down the craftsmanship, manufacturing methods, and usage of the Song Dynasty's military equipment from beginning to end.

One of the best is Zeng Gongliang.

He is the author of a book called "Wu Jing Zong Yao", which clearly records all the news about the Song Dynasty's military equipment, including gunpowder.

And this "Wu Jing Zong Yao", after Zeng Gongliang made it, almost everyone can buy it as long as they are willing to spend money.

Are you saying it's ridiculous?
Everyone is full and free.

If this was in Yang Qi's hands, they would all have to be dragged out and beaten to death.

So, don't blame the ancestors for not leaving anything good for the younger generations.

Our ancestors were smart, the top-notch kind.

The wealth of knowledge they left behind is enormous.

It's just that there are too many prodigal sons who think they are smart, and they can't hold on.

In the end, those wolves were allowed to bully us with the wisdom crystallization of our ancestors.

……

Closer to home.

This siege battle was a brutal one.

The combined strength of both sides is nearly 100 million people.

The scale of the battle was already comparable to the two previous final battles of the Northern Expedition.

Human life seems so fragile and worthless at this moment.

Every minute, every second, someone dies.

The entire battlefield is like a huge meat grinder, devouring people's lives anytime and anywhere.

Both sides are doing everything they can to injure their opponents.

So they do everything they can.

Dirty arrows, golden juice, and other things that can easily kill people are scattered all over the battlefield.

Facing this tragic battlefield, whether it is Cao Bin, who straddles a horse outside the city of Youzhou, and climbs to the hills to watch the battle; or Han Derang, who is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai on the top of the city.

The two of them just watched calmly.

Even the death of thousands of soldiers under their command still couldn't move them.

The war has only just begun.

The real worst time has yet to come.

Within one day, Cao Bin ordered his soldiers to storm Youzhou City three times, but failed to achieve much.

Youzhou City still stands there.

Han Derang's banner was still flying over the city.

The battle loss of the Liao army reached [-], and the battle loss of the Song army also reached [-].

They don't seem to be able to see this number.

The next day.

The war continues.

This dozen is ten days.

During this period, Cao Bin tried more than a dozen methods, but he still had no choice but to win Youzhou City.

Cao Bin was blocked in Youzhou City, but Zhao Guangyi, who was hundreds of miles away in Zhending Mansion, was anxious.

Zhendingfu.

Inside the temporary command post.

Zhao Guangyi was scolding his mother again.

There is no other reason, during the ten days when Cao Bin was blocked outside Youzhou City.

The left army of Yang Qibu conquered Huanzhou.

Since then, the land of the two states promised to Yang Qi by Zhao Guangyi has been captured by Yang Qi.

When Yang Qibu's soldiers took Huanzhou, except for a bloody battle in Huancheng, the rest of Huanzhou cities were almost all taken without bloodshed.

The reason was due to Jiao Zan's mouth.

With He Jing who was the first to persuade Jiao Zan to surrender Shuocheng, Yang Da and others seemed to be inspired.

Then, with the support of Yang Da, the Yanmen army under He Jing sang "Ancient Song" all the way, and went one by one to those cities stationed by Han people to persuade them to surrender.

The results are gratifying.

Huanzhou was captured.

And Shi Shouxin's right army also had victories.
