Chapter 355: We are about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty flee first
Three waves of raw cannon fodder in a row made Tart Buye and his soldiers almost desperate.
After Tart Buye ordered the gold juice to be poured down, he had lost all means of defending the city, and could only rely on the walls of the capital to resist the Jurchen Tartars.
After Yan Yan's mother's order, the Jurchen Tartars personally went into battle, they first shot the Khitan Shengkou under the city with a rain of arrows, and then used the ladders and carts they brought with their lives to start attacking the city.
The bows and arrows of the defenders of the city did not have the penetrating power of the ragged raw mouths, and many of them were exhausted defenders who shot soft bows and arrows against the thick animal skin armor of the Jurchen Tartars, which did not help at all.
The Jurchen Tartars carried a big rope with them, and after bolting it, several people joined forces, and they shook and pulled out the deer barn inserted into the frozen soil to block the siege soldiers and horses, which was many times faster than the people just now.
Push away the broken rows of cars, push the corpses down the trenches, and fill in the road a little denser.
The Jurchen soldiers continued to advance to the city, and the Jurchen heavy cavalry that was sweeping behind them already had a cheering voice, as if this outer city of Shangjing was about to succumb to the military might of the Jurchen army!
In fact, unlike in film and television dramas, the siege of the city is often a hand-to-hand fight between soldiers and horses advancing to the city. The real siege battle must be repeatedly fought over in the outer defense system, even if the mobile forces in the city are exhausted one by one.
Only the fearless defenders, or those who were too far apart in strength, would be beaten in the city.
For example, in the most famous battle of Xiangfan, the Mongols fought for several years in the periphery of Xiangfan, even if the back was surrounded by a moat nearly 200 meters wide, and the strongest Xiangyang City in the world, the defenders of the Southern Song Dynasty would not easily retreat to the city to defend it.
In the Khitan capital, there are 200,000 soldiers and horses, as well as private soldiers of various families, no less than the Jurchen Tartars outside the city, and there is no reason to shrink and be beaten at all.
If no one comes up, he will hand over the bottom line to others, and it is the same with Tart Buye, he was covered in blood, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Damn, after guarding for so long, why haven't the soldiers and horses in the city come yet?" If you don't pile up the deer outside the city, will you let the Tartars ride on your face and beat them? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a personal soldier came from outside, and shouted with a roar: "Dutong, it's not good, Your Majesty, he took Xiangguo and the concubines and fled out of the city." ”
With a bang, the weapon that had not been lost for a day fell on the head of the city, and the face of the tart was gray.
His lieutenant stepped forward, grabbed the soldier by the collar, and asked, "What about the reserve army in the city?" ”
"The soldiers and horses in the city were mobilized to escort His Majesty and them, and they fled together."
"The Thief Emperor, sell us!" The adjutant general shouted loudly, and this great rebellious remark did not attract any refutation at all.
These desperate soldiers thought that there would be no worse news in the world, and then they heard even more desperate news.
These people have obviously become outcasts, and their own lives have become bargaining chips for them to delay time.
A group of soldiers surrounded him, looking at Tart Buye with cold eyes.
Tart Buye's back was cold, he turned his head to look around, spat a mouthful of blood-stained saliva, and said loudly: "You bird soldiers, look at what I do, and it's not that I abandon you and run away." Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know your thoughts, isn't it just surrendering, shout to me, I don't surrender to the emperor. To help Dajin Guo, he cut off the two heads of Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Fengxian. ”
Before the Jurchens attacked the city, there were surrender shouts from the city tower, and Wanyan Yan's mother was also stunned.
I saw that the gate of the outer city of Shangjing was slowly opened, and the defenders of the city also laid down their weapons.
Since the Jurchens started their army to invade Liao, although they have won countless battles, they still have a sense of unreality when they break through the outer city of Shangjing so easily.
They still can't understand that sometimes the stupidity of the opponent is more important than their own bravery and skill, and it can also determine the outcome of the war.
In any case, the Jurchens won again, and it was still so incredible to win.
After a fierce offensive and defensive battle, only forty or fifty thousand Khitan people died, and some bows, crossbows, arrows and equipment were consumed to defend the city.
---
Gao Shan, five other Song envoys, with nearly 100 Song envoys, fled to Datong Mansion in Xijing with Yelu Yanxi in the army.
Countless Khitan people along the way looked at them numbly, these aristocratic royal families who supported themselves abandoned the entire people in the east.
Xijing Datong Mansion is a rare solid city in the world, which is another barrier built by the Han people.
They can block the Jurchen Tartars there, but their own people are about to become slaves of the country.
Some wealthy Khitan nobles also fled with their families and the army, while more chose to stay.
Gao Shan, carrying a large knife, stood on the carriage, majestic, and looked very capable of fighting.
Yelu Yanxi saw it from a distance and asked, "Which general is that?" ”
"It's the Song envoy Gaoshan." The attendant next to him replied.
Yelu Yanxi secretly thought, this person is still so majestic at this time, he must be confident, not panicked at all, and must be a person with real skills. "Let him come to my carriage, and take care of each other if there is anything."
Gao Shank didn't have the slightest feeling of ruining the country and ruining his family, he enjoyed his current state very much, and he always felt that he was a gentleman in the past, and he was useless except for eating, drinking, and having fun.
Now it's different, almost every day, he has made a huge contribution to the Great Song Dynasty, which makes Gao Yanei's heart very full.
Qin Hui didn't have this feeling, on this non-stop carriage, he was about to fall apart, and when he looked up at the appearance of the high-handled bag, Qin Hui scolded angrily: "Senior Gao, aren't you tired?" ”
"Tired, ouch, my back hurts."
Qin Hui chuckled and said, "You deserve it, let you show your eyes." ”
As soon as Gao Shanshan wanted to sit down and rest, the ministers beside the emperor came over: "General Gao, our majesty invites you to share a car." ”
The other four Song envoys looked at each other... Looks weird.
Gao Shanshan had no choice but to shake his spirits, get off the carriage, and rush to Yelu Yanxi's luxurious carriage, and before leaving, he didn't forget to squeeze his eyebrows with Qin Hui and the others, looking very proud.
Yuwen smiled bitterly and said, "I can understand why the Khitan died in the country, our Majesty the Liao Lord, really doesn't have a good eye." ”
Ma Kuo's face was not as relaxed as theirs, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and said: "The Jurchen Tartars will immediately capture the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, plus the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo that they have already captured, and then it is likely to be the Khitan tax center, our Youyan Land, and the Khitan Nanjing Xijin Mansion." ”
"Next, the opponent of these fierce and fierce Tartars may be us."
