Section 409 The Battle of the Domestic City

Cao Rui offered conditions, so the original servants, servants, and serious offenders of the nobles. As long as one pen is killed, one can survive, two pens are killed, and two pens can be registered assigns work, or land. The three leaders are killed, five guan, four leaders are killed, fifteen guan, and five iron pens can be officials.
By the way, Cao Rui surrounded the domestic city at that time. He sat in the camp, holding all the strategic plans in his hand were given by Shi Baoji.
The so-called shopkeeper of the Shi family sent by Shi Baoji, all three of whom joined the army.
"Siege, no attack." Cao Rui ordered.
Goryeo was endless. After the bloody battle of the Goryeo nobles, the treasury was very thick, but Cui Shanwei was used to continuously exchange the weapons and supplies of the Song Dynasty.
This time, Cui Shanwei came to the front line in person, and what he was looking for was his great achievements this time.
Since the Liao Kingdom made a battle with the Song Dynasty with Goryeo, he would have made great contributions if he defeated it.
The total number is said to be eighty miles, but in fact there are only 200,000 combat troops. The Goryeo army, which transports labor, surrounded the three layers of the country's city.
On the frozen river surface, there are chariots that are sliding over every day, transporting rice, coal, salt and other materials.
Cui Shanwei personally took charge of the logistics.
After hearing Cao Rui's order to surround him but not attack, he said, "Don't worry, General, there are still three million stones of rice from Chameng. I have sent someone to secretly call a hundred transport ships to approach the frozen sea every night, and then transport the rice from the ice to here. We can take it."
"Mr. Cui, where to keep warm?"
"Don't worry, there were arrangements. We prepared 5,000 felt tents for use by the Central Army. It was not a problem to squeeze 80,000 people. The rest of the logging houses were more about digging cellars to live in."
Cui Shanwei said that he was digging a diagonally downward hole with wood as the roof. This kind of cave house is very warm.
And a large amount of coal is transported, so as long as people don’t get hungry, a little coal can keep warm.
"Important materials are placed in Beipu Fortress. As long as there is ice on the river surface, it will only take half an hour to transport them."
"Then, let's sleep them for ten days first."
Ten days are a blink of an eye for the historical siege of any era.
In the Warring States Period, it was common to siege the city every year.
Ten days were Cao Rui's limit on the Liao army's domestic city at this time.
The Liao army was not good at defending the city, so the Liao army did not study much about defending the city.
The Jurchens were hunters and mostly moved in the mountains and forests, and they were even worse. The Bohai people were very rebellious towards the Liao people. They were tied up on chariots as the lowest-class slave soldiers.
After Cao Rui's detailed work, he had a list that was almost accurate in his hand.
In the domestic city, when the Jurchens returned to the city, they brought a large amount of prey, while the Bohai people brought about 150,000 kilograms of fish, while the Liao people drove about 20,000 sheep into the city.
However, the city has less than 500 kilograms of salt and less than 1,000 dan of firewood.
Qiandanchai sounds quite a lot, but it can't stand more people.
What's even more terrifying is that there is no water.
It was too close to the river and was always taking the river water, but now the river water was frozen. A cryptanalysis buried ten feet deep underground was also dug by Cao Rui, and it was frozen in just one hour.
On the first day, the domestic city defenders did not feel anything scary about the Goryeo soldiers.
They could tell that these people did not have the real Song army, and there was still a difference between the Goryeo and the Song people.
Therefore, the people in the domestic city did not feel nervous, but instead waited for the other party to attack the city.
However, just three days later, the atmosphere changed.
The domestic city began to face a dilemma, tearing down the house as firewood, and now it is warm, and I will freeze until I die at night.
With meat, the Jurchens retreated and returned a large amount of prey to enter the city.
At this time, the prey was frozen harder than the stone.
There is no water, there is still a little snow on the roof, but there is no firewood, so what can I use to boil water?
On this day, soldiers from the domestic city invented a new delicacy, using a knife to cut the frozen raw meat into very thin slices of meat, and then apply some salt to eat.
On the fifth day of the siege, the salt was gone.
The soldiers could not stand eating frozen meat but not drinking water. At first, some soldiers were ready to rush out to get some firewood in the mountains and forests.
Cao Rui was still burning wine around the stove and eating hot pot.
The first battalion composed of the servants of the Goryeo nobles discovered the movements of the Liao army. They did not report to anyone, and they quietly contacted them. The four battalions had a pocket for the Liao army outside the city.
When the Liao army walked to a place about five miles near the mountains and forests, a Goryeo officer stood up and shouted in Liao language.
"Our instructor is General Song."
What's the meaning?
The Liao people didn't understand what the other party said at all, but they soon understood.
These Korean soldiers used ice cubes to replace the sacks commonly used by the Song army. They first put a wall, then added a spear, and placed a shield behind them, and paired with crossbows.
Speaking of bows, the Liao army's bows are afraid of water, and the Song army's bows are afraid of cold, but at this time the Korean army's bows are not very afraid of cold.
In the eyes of the Liao army, it was obvious that the bow used by the Koreans in front of them seemed very special, not the standard bow of the Song army.
In fact, hehe.
The bows of this military horse in Goryeo are all fakes. The bow is just a bent bamboo piece, which is usually used by soldiers to carry their luggage and tie them with a hemp rope, which seems to be a bow.
Where is the arrow? There are branches in the woods. Pick a few straight and cut them.
Such a bow can shoot an enemy who is not wearing clothes at five steps away, and it is useless to wear clothes.
What about the shield.
The branches are weaved and covered with mud. If frozen, it looks like the heavy shield of the Song army.
Half of the knife is fake, made of wood chips.
Everyone has it, but there are only two things that are completely real guys, about one foot long and four inches short daggers.
Why is it called a sting sword? Because there are no blades on both sides, only there are blades in front, and the lengths and widths of a battalion are definitely different when placed together. Because it is all transformed with the old sabres that broke the knife head by the Song army.
The original guard leader of the Gaoli Jin family who led the team was a person who had defected to him in the early days.
As a pariah and a pariah that is not valued by its owner, it is a very luxurious thing to have a name.
He has no name.
At least it didn't before, now it's called Jin Liu Ba Si.
Jin was the surname of his former master, and his name was because he could recognize hundreds of Chinese characters and the number after attending the officer training camp.
It's that simple.
Jin Liubasi was very careful to observe the enemy opposite, a former Goryeo prisoner, charged with six crimes of desertion.
Those who can be a deserter six times are actually... talented.
This person has no name either. His name is gray pottery jar. At least others call him that. After joining the army, he removed the word gray and changed his name to Tao Kou.
Tao Kou walked to Jin Liubasi: "These are not Liao people. I have been in the border army for many years, and these people are not the Jurchens I have seen."
Chapter completed!
