Chapter 96 Light Rain (3)(2/2)
Wen Jia was so angry that she laughed, "There are not many ten times the strength of the city?"
"It's not much more than the entire Dingzhou Road." Qin Wan said with a smile, "It's only 60,000 to 70,000."
Wen Jia shook his head. Qin Wan was just like him, and he wanted to keep an optimistic attitude towards the outside world. But he only did this when facing the gunners, and Qin Wan had to do it anytime and anywhere.
Qin Wan had already guessed the army next to the Liao Lord. It looked almost the same as 60,000 or 70,000. There were 20,000 or 30,000 people who were labourers and slaves, and they could not count them.
Most of these sixty or seventy thousand soldiers should be the most elite Divine Fire Army in the hands of the emperor.
If Qin Wan had the entire Dingzhou Road troops in his hands, he would choose to go out to compete with the Liao army now. If only one-third of them were, he would also go out of the city to interfere with the Liao army's digging tunnels.
But he didn't dare to go out at will overnight. He could not afford to lose as the backbone of the army. As a little less, he could not lead the six or seven thousand people in the city.
"I really have to say it," said Qin Wan, "the Beilu used troops this time not as many as he imagined."
Wen Jia nodded and did not respond much.
"Excluding civilians, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses will be killed. Think about it, is the Northern Barbarians rich? Nanjing Road is comparable to Hebei? Hebei can only support 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the Liao people have more war horses. Including Hedong, those who can support 300,000 will be the best. There are only so many people, and Hedong Road needs to be put a little, Zhendingfu Road and Gaoyang Pass Road need to be put a little, and there are not many people left for Dingzhou Road!"
Wen Jia glanced at Qin Wan in anger, "I did it the day before yesterday, I did it again yesterday, and today I still have to do it. Everyone knows that the Liao Kingdom has no soldiers, and at most half of the reinforcements have to retreat. Why do you need to say it over and over again?"
Judging from the number of Liao troops, the offensive on the whole line must be insufficient. The key attack is to attack. The area that is too small cannot afford too many soldiers and horses, so you can only choose to replace the number with elite troops.
Neither Qin Wan nor Wen Jia could imagine how Yelu Yixin would conquer Tianmen Village while ensuring that the elite troops were not damaged much. Even if they were deduced by themselves, it would be difficult to find a way to break the city with small losses in a short period of time. However, the Liao people never retreated, which made them feel that they must have tricks.
After an hour, they finally understood what the Liao people did.
It turned out to drive the people to attack the city.
With the sound of trumpets, one figure after another came out of the tunnel near Tianmen Village. The cannon guns immediately aimed at them, but immediately, as the screams of the sightseeing hands, the cannon commanders all lowered the fire.
They are all dressed in the Han family. From the telescope, they are all seen in the elderly, weak, women and children, and very few are young and strong.
They walked out from every exit of the tunnel one after another, as if endless.
In the end, there were as many as ten thousand old, weak, women and children who were driven out of the tunnel from all directions in Tianmen Village.
Wen Jia was cold in his eyes. If they were all true people of the Song Dynasty, it meant that all the villages in the northern part of Ansu Army had been destroyed. Only in this way could there be so many women, children and elderly people.
They were driven away by the Liao people behind, and they cried one by one, fled to the Tianmen Village.
Hundreds of Liao soldiers followed behind and poked the fallen men to death with long spears. In the end, some of them even picked up a baby with guns and showed off their clothes under the city.
On Tianmen Village City, everyone who saw this scene was filled with bloodshot eyes.
Qin Wan even wanted to kill him with guns and cannons, but the distance between using guns was too far, and he was afraid of hurting his family by mistake, so he could only give up.
Exorcisting the people to attack the city is a common method of siege. It can attack the morale of the defenders and mix the fine works into the city. Better ones can also take advantage of the situation to attack the city, and at worst it can consume food and grass in the city.
However, this method hurts the harmony of heaven, and the Liao people rarely attack cities. There has been basically no war between the Song and Liao countries in history.
Two days ago, Qin Wan told Wen Jia not to worry. The Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty was here. If the Liao people took it seriously, they would not meet others.
The Khitan also claimed to be China. Although it was not as good as a barbarian in normal times, it still had to be said about its face.
Even the generals below can do it, but the emperor still can't do it.
I never thought that the emperor was shameless
Qin Wan gritted her teeth, and clattered between her lips and teeth, "After all, she is a barbarian."
