The palace city in Gaochang City is surrounded by the city's center and the most prosperous place, and naturally it is also the preferred place for dignitaries and nobles to live. They were originally glad that the Song army's limited artillery range allowed their houses to be preserved. But with the city, they were also glad that the Song army's artillery range was limited.

The soil building built by the Northern Song army is getting higher and higher, indicating that the catastrophe is about to come to them. What is more terrible than death is waiting for death. Even though he knows that death is about to come, he is unable to resist. This kind of torture is a terrible to fight.

Just imagine it.

The dignitaries and nobles living in the north of the city could no longer sit still. Once the artillery fire of the Song army came, they lost not only their lives, but also the wealth accumulated by the Book of the Book. So they joined the petition with the people and demanded that the king of the country.

Talk to the Song army again and is willing to take out part of the property as a gift to the Song army. And Bile Ge also wants to negotiate at this moment. The north palace wall of the palace city is the north wall of the inner city, and his old nest is also in the Song army.

The artillery fire was covered, but the problem was that the Song army had rejected his 'good intention'.

Under the pressure of fear and public opinion, Bilege was scared. The generals' evasive eyes showed that they were already afraid of the sharp firearms of the Song army and no longer had the confidence to keep going. And those gentle and gentle civil officials also began to complain.

For some small profits, he cut off the trade channels with Song regardless of the overall situation and tore up the arbitrary decision of the alliance, which caused the disaster today. He pointed out that he was not worthy of being the king, and implied that he abdicated and gave way to the wise to eliminate the anger of the Song emperor.

Under the fierce public opinion, Bilege could only order the prime minister to carry five carts of gifts out of the city and discuss with the Song army again, saying that as long as the Song army retreated, he would be willing to pay tribute to Song. The annual tribute doubled and cut off

All the dealings with the Western Liao and Jin Kingdoms. I sincerely served Song for generations and never rebelled against Song. But the result was that the Song army accepted the gift but did not agree to their conditions. It was said that the Lord of Gaochang, Bilege, colluded with the enemy country.

If you repeatedly violate the imperial power, you must cancel your own title and open your city and surrender, waiting for the Emperor of Song Dynasty to deal with it, and interview other conditions.

Of course, Bile Ge would not agree to the harsh conditions of the Song Dynasty. If the self-dismissal of the title is equivalent to losing the position of the king and becoming a pariah. Before the conditions were agreed, he would lose his last shelter and become a Song Dynasty.

Whether toys in the army's hands depends on the mood of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, he asked to open the city and welcome the heavenly soldiers into the city while retaining the name of Gaochang and the security and status of the royal family. He sent the prince to the Song Dynasty to serve as a

To show your determination to be good with Song Xiu.

The prime minister ran away and was told all the good things, but he still failed to impress the Song army. He could only give him a regretful return. The emperor's order was to destroy the country, which was too far from the conditions proposed by Bilege, so of course Gao Chong and Zhao Li did not.

I dared to agree, but of course the gift I gave was a meat bun and a dog that had gone but never returned. And they had no choice but to continue fighting until they were beaten to subdue them. It was a pity to destroy such a good place...

The day after the second negotiations broke down, the Song army resumed artillery. The Song army's artillery shells seemed to have eyes and accurately hit the residences of the prime minister and General Zuo. Fortunately, they were prepared to withdraw in time so that they did not lose their lives

.The palace is naturally also the main target of shelling. The obstruction of the tall buildings in the palace may have caused the Song army to fail to observe the observation post. It failed to hit Bilege's bedroom, but it exploded the inner garden into a mess, and the rare birds and beasts kept in it

The lion, tiger, wolf, and insects were frightened and rushed around in the palace. They bit more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids to death, and finally had to use their army to hunt down these beloved things of the kings.

The head of the kingdom was bombarded, causing an uproar in the city. Those who had long been destroyed by artillery fire were gloating and had a lot of balance in their hearts. Now everyone is the same. This is the end of your refusal to cooperate with the Song army, and it should be; and those

'Doesn' the people who 'avoided' were also frightened. I wonder if it would be their own head next time. The shells fell into the palace city, which means that the city was under the attack of the Song army. I want to

Wherever you fight depends on the mood of others. Now, only by persuading the king to agree to the conditions of the Song army as soon as possible is the only way to protect oneself!

It is not completely correct to say that there is no safe place in Gaochang City. So far, no artillery shells have been dropped in the Buddhist temples in the city. This is definitely not something that the Song army cannot see. Most people in Gaochang believe in Buddhism, and Buddhist temples are everywhere in the city, and they are often built majestic

The tall, especially the magnificent hall, the towering pagoda is the most eye-catching. It is said that they didn't see it unless the Song people were blind. At first, everyone believed that it was the Buddha who used his magic power to protect his home from artillery fire.

But as the city was bombarded everywhere, everyone gradually realized that this was not the Buddha's boundless magic power, but the Song people believed in Buddhism like them, and consciously avoided the temple when firing the cannon, which not only gave them a temporary shelter.

The reason why they believed that the Song people who had the same belief would definitely not hurt themselves at will. They were targeting the king who had never agreed to the conditions of the Song army. It was precisely because of his treason that caused everyone this unscrupulous disaster!

In fact, what the Gaochang people should thank the most was Zhao Li, the supervisor of the Song army. After the first few rounds of artillery attacks, everyone had already discovered that the Gaochang people and officials who had lost their homes had all gone to the temple to take refuge, and only once the artillery fire was attacked.

This will result in a major victory, so the temple is required to be the target of attack. However, Zhao Li flatly rejected the suggestion of the artillery soldiers and issued a strict order to prohibit the artillery shooting of the temple under any circumstances, and not fire the monks. Even after entering the city, this must be strictly abide by

Order, otherwise there will be no mercy to kill!

In theory, everything is to fight against the enemy with annihilation of the enemy's biological forces and strike important targets. Therefore, the command of the military supervisor made the generals very puzzled. Even Gao Chong felt confused, so Zhao Li had to explain this. He met back then.

During the Daguan period, the monks and Taoist struggles were destroyed and Taoist temples were built everywhere in the country under the premise of the emperor's worship of Taoism, which triggered a conflict between monks and Taoists who had lasted for several years. The monks refused to resist, even at that time.

The Crown Prince Zhao Huan was involved, and in the end he was able to continue using the power of the government to force the implementation.

The battle between monks and Taoists left a deep impression on Zhao Li at that time, and also made him understand the powerful power implicitly in religious beliefs, so that the princes at that time had to pretend to be gods and ghosts to confuse everyone to achieve their goals. Later, they conquered Xixia and the Emperor of Dali

They all use the power of Buddhists to stabilize people's hearts and weaken the hostility of the people. However, the whole country, whether it is the king of the country or the lowest slaves, all believe in Buddhism. Those temples are their spiritual sustenance and their homeland, especially in China and the West.

Here at the forefront of cultural conflict, the people have a stronger sense of religious belonging.

If the temple is destroyed rashly regardless of the local people's conditions, the Gaochang military and civilians will inevitably be regarded as invading pagans, which will inspire their resistance and unite against the Song army. In addition to the initially decided to destroy the enemy through firepower strikes.

The purpose of resisting consciousness and disintegrating enemies of all classes goes against the contrary, then what you have done before will be gone, and countless potential enemies will be added to yourself...

In the next few days, the Song army concentrated on attacking several strategic areas and city defense facilities in the city, especially in a granary in the inner city, the incendiary bomb was burned. Although the loss was not large compared with the total amount of grain stored in the city, this

The military and civilians in Gaochang City were more worried. Once the Song army launched artillery bombardment against the granaries in the city and destroyed all the food, the only one who persisted until the end would be the Song army, but he became hungry because he could not stand it. At the same time, the soldiers were also killed.

We have already regarded the city as a daunting road. Without the cover of the city defense facilities, going up is no different from dying, and morale has dropped to freezing point.

Due to heavy casualties among officials, the situation in the city has already shown signs of out of control. There are constant vicious cases of robbery, stealing, killing and robbing, and even attacking military soldiers carrying out curfew missions. In fact, everyone understands that many of these incidents have soldiers involved in it.

In order to avoid shelling, we dare not go out, merchants dare not open their doors to open business, and conflicts caused by exhaustion of food storage emerged one after another. The weather gradually warmed up, and the people and animals that were killed were no one buried, gradually stinking stench, which would cause plague if it lasted for a long time.

The chaotic situation turned Gaochang City into a dead city.

Brother Bile was also in panic all day long. The shells that fell from time to time in the palace made it unsafe here. He changed the palace three times a day to prevent the Song army from finding out where he was located and taking his life.

There is no intention to deal with government affairs. The bad news from outside the palace also made him uneasy. The soldiers transferred from other places have been at the forefront, resulting in heavy casualties, especially those tribal soldiers at the bottom, who are even cannon fodder. They understand that they are fundamentally

He is not an opponent of the Song army, so he will die here sooner or later if he continues to waste this, so he began to plot to kidnap the king and open the city gate to surrender to save his life.

At this time, the envoys sent to the Western Liao Dynasty passed through the blockade of the Song army and returned to the city, bringing bad news. Now the envoys of the Seljuk Empire have arrived in the Western Liao Dynasty, claiming that more than 100,000 troops have gathered on the border, if

If the Western Liao does not surrender, they will launch a holy war, swearing to destroy the country of Western Liao and kill all the soldiers and people. However, the Western Liao Khan Yelu Dashi rejected the "good intention" of the Seljuk Empire and was determined to fight, so naturally there was no extra military force to take care of it.

Things happened to Gaochang.

Gaochang Kingdom has reached the verge of collapse, and Bilege will suffer from suffering. It is because he believes that the Western Liao will not give up on them, so he struggles to support the Song army's request. Now the Western Liao refuses to send troops to aid.

The news was like a bolt from the blue for him, which meant that the Western Liao had abandoned him and no longer cared about his life or death. In despair, Bilege sat in the hall for a day without eating or drinking, and did not say a word until
