Poor Family Chapter 634

  Chapter 634 Huge pressure

In less than half an hour, the Song army used sandbags to build a solid sand wall a hundred steps away from the gate of the village, which could not only defend against the impact of giant trees, but also resist arrows. At this time, more than a hundred soldiers of the Song army Push the three small trebuchets into the sand defense wall.

The small trebuchet is actually not small, with a height of seven feet and a pole of two feet. It is only much smaller than the large trebuchet, but small also has a small advantage, that is, it is easy to carry and install, and it can be taken away with only five or six mules. A small trebuchet can be quickly installed within half an hour, and it is very flexible, even with a simple care on the slope, it can also throw stones.

  The small trebuchet is really unrealistic for throwing huge boulders weighing one hundred catties, but it is just right for thunderstorms weighing forty or fifty catties. Li Yanqing also took it with him because of this.

Inside the gate of the village, Ke Mei nervously watched the three trebuchets being pushed up, and he was secretly glad that this small trebuchet could only throw stones weighing forty to fifty catties at most, and could not destroy the strong gate of the village. With this method, I am not afraid anymore.

The three trebuchets have been installed in place. With Han Shizhong's order, the 20,000 crossbowmen retreated quickly, leaving only fifteen people in front of the trebuchets. This small winch-type trebuchet only needs five people to operate. The Thunderbolt has been put into the iron pocket, and throwing the Thunderbolt on the **** is also extremely risky. If the Thunderbolt does not explode in time, it will easily injure one's own people when it rolls down.

   This requires the person who gave the order to know the burning speed of the matchlock well. The person who gave the order was a gunpowder maker. He swallowed dryly and ordered to the soldiers: "Light it up!"

The three soldiers lit the matchlocks at the same time. The gunpowder maker stared at the matchlock closely, not daring to blink. At this time, the matchlock had already burned the red line at the bottom of the matchlock. The gunpowder maker ordered: "No. 1 and No. !"

  'Boom! ' The two trebuchets shot out at the same time, and two black thunderbolts soared into the sky and flew towards the gate of the village.

   "Shoot number three!" The gunpowder maker gave the second order.

  'Boom! The third Thunderbolt also shot out. The gunpowder maker and fifteen soldiers jumped under the sandbags and covered their ears tightly. Not only them, but all the soldiers of the Song Army below had already been ordered to cover their ears and lie down together. , Even the war horses turned their heads and covered their ears.

  'Boom! boom! boom! ' There were three earth-shattering explosions in a row, and the entire mountain was about to collapse. Flames shot out, black smoke rose into the air, and debris and corpses were blown up.

   After a while, the black smoke cleared, the gate of the village was gone, the ground was full of debris and corpses, and the fortifications on both sides also collapsed. The two thousand soldiers were either dead, fainted, or frightened.

  Han Shizhong roared, "Get in!"

   "Kill!"

  Nine thousand Song soldiers burst into a cry, rushing towards the cottage.

Yeli Yuanli sat down anxiously in the inner hall of Gyeongju government office. He knew Lin De very well, but the black and thin middle-aged man surnamed Mo next to Lin De had a stern gaze, which made him feel a little uneasy, and he was Coming to negotiate on behalf of the military, Yeli Yuanli knew in his heart that he was the real negotiator, and Lin De was just an accompaniment.

   "Mr. Mo, Genrei Nori is the brother of the old chief of Noribe, and he has also stayed in the Central Plains for many years. There should be no problem for us to communicate!" Lin De smiled and introduced the negotiating partner to Mo Jun.

  Lin De turned to Ye Li Yuanli again, "This Mr. Mo is Li Tongzhi's staff member, and he is also a recorder of the Jingzhao Army and joined the army. He can represent Li Tongzhi with full authority. If Yuan Li has any ideas, he can speak frankly without any scruples."

  Ye Li Yuanli hurriedly bowed to Mo Jun and said: "This military rebellion was definitely not my chief's original intention, but Ye Lifeng and Xixia colluded to send troops. Because of this, the old chief fell ill and died the day before yesterday."

  Beside Linde was taken aback, "Did the old chief die?"

  No Li Yuanli nodded, "Now the young master Ye Lisheng will take over the position of chief."

  At this time, Mo Jun asked coldly: "You brought a prison car, who is in the car?"

  Ye Liyuanli sighed, "It is the culprit of this riot, Ye Lifeng, our new chief has captured him and sent him to the court to plead guilty!"

  Linde said cautiously again: "Mr. Mo, Ye Lisheng has always been loyal to the imperial court. This time he did not hesitate to send his brother here to plead guilty. It can be seen that they are sincere!"

  Mo Jun shook his head, "Sincerity alone cannot solve the problem, and we also hope for a peaceful solution, but where is the basis for a peaceful solution? I can't see it yet."

   "I don't know what is the basis of what Mr. is referring to?" Nori Genrei asked puzzled.

   "The two counties of Qingdong and Beihe were breached, how many people were massacred, and you looted everywhere in Qingzhou and Yanzhou, murdered people and set fire to them. Do you think that sending a Ye Lifeng can be exchanged for a truce?"

Speaking of this, Mo Jun stared sharply at Ye Li Yuanli, and Ye Li Yuanli wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "The captured population will be released, the plundered wealth will be returned, and the casualties will be returned to us." Do your best to make amends."

  Mo Jun nodded, "It seems that you are indeed sincere. Since that is the case, I will open the window and tell you the truth. We have three conditions. If we agree to these three conditions, the war can end."

   After finishing speaking, Mo Jun handed a list to Ye Li Yuanli, and Lin De secretly sighed next to him, the asking price was too high, the Hei Gang Xiang was originally a poor tribe, how could he afford the compensation.

  After reading the list, Ye Liyuanli's face changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "We don't have that much money to compensate!"

   "Why do you have no money, don't you have money to buy weapons and armor from Yang Lin?"

   "The silver was given to Ye Lifeng by Xixia, and it has been spent. Our tribe is indeed very poor."

  Mo Jun calmed down and said: "If you don't have money, you can also take material compensation. We can accept sheepskin and medicinal materials. In short, the conditions cannot be changed, and your time is running out."

  No Li Yuanli was taken aback, "What do you mean time is running out?"

  Mo Jun said slowly: "I guess at this moment, the control has already led the army to break through the Feituo Department!"

  Yori Yuanli was so startled that his heart almost stopped beating. After a while, he stammered, "I'm going back to report to the chief!"

   "Then it's best to go back now. The longer it is delayed, the worse it will be for you."

   Ye Liyuan walked away with one foot and one shallow foot, and Linde asked in a low voice: "Is it true? The control has already broken through the Feituo Department."

  Mo Jun nodded, "Based on time, it has already been breached."

  Linde sighed, "I know them very well. They only earn a little money by selling medicine and sheepskins. If they are asked to pay tens of thousands of pennies, they really can't afford it."

Mo Jun smiled and said: "Hasn't Lin Zhizhou understood yet? It's not about compensation, but about teaching them a painful lesson. Otherwise, when the time is ripe, they will riot again. Li Tongzhi has always told me that these alien tribes cannot Too soft, too soft and they will be arrogant, but not too hard, too hard and they will rebound, you have to be soft with one hand and hard with the other."

   "But our asking price is too high."

Mo Jun waved his hand, "As I said just now, this is just a method. They can't bear it, so we can talk about it, but the premise is that they must surrender completely. Tongzhi has a sense of proportion. What should be killed must be killed, and what should be let go must be done." He will let them go, he will consider the actual difficulties of the black party, and will not drive them to a dead end, but the attitude must be in place, and Zhizhou does not need to worry about this.”

Lin De nodded. Although he had been in contact with Li Yanqing for a short time, he keenly felt that Li Yanqing was decisive and tactful. This was clearly a heroic temperament. Is it wise to have military power?

  But now that Lin De's fate is in Li Yanqing's hands, he has no choice but to throw away those doubts and fully cooperate with Li Yanqing to subdue the underworld.

Just as Lin De worried, the list of conditions issued by Li Yanqing immediately put tremendous pressure on Ye Lisheng. In fact, he could not do any of these three items. At most, he would release the people Ye Lifeng plundered and return the stolen property. , use Ye Lifeng's property war horse to pay off the debt, what about the other four?

  Up to now, none of the other four families have come to see him, the great chief, but he wants them to give up their vital interests. How could it be possible?

The reason why Yeli Yuanli got the attention of the Yeli brothers is that he is a rare strategist-type talent, treacherous and cunning, and knows how to stand at the most critical moment. He is very aware of the chief's worries, and he also wants to help the chief. To make up for his fault of following Ye Lifeng.

  Ye Liyuanli considered it carefully, and said cautiously: "Chief, in fact, sometimes I also think that the breach of the Feituo Department is not all a bad thing."

When Feituobu was mentioned, Ye Lisheng felt a pain in his heart. Feituobu fell, almost all adult men were killed, women, children and children became prisoners of war, and all the accumulation of hundreds of years was plundered by the Song army. As the chief of the black party , Why doesn't he feel pain in his heart.

   But Ye Lisheng also had to admit that he still felt a little happy in his heart. Whoever told Kemei not to come to see him, who refused to recognize his chief, and who asked them to follow Ye Lifeng to make trouble, now they are to blame for being slaughtered.

  No Lisheng sighed, "I just hope the other three companies learn their lesson!"

  At this time, a soldier reported outside the tent: "Chief Qi, the leaders of the Nanli, Mustang, and Begging Tribes are here to pay their respects!"

   "Bring him in!"

  No Lisheng looked back at Ye Li Yuanli, "You are right, it is indeed not a bad thing at all!"
