Chapter 360: Return to the Forbidden City 5
From Liu Yanqing, Wang An, and others to send away Emperor Maode's concubine Zhao Fujin in the morning, in less than a day, the situation suddenly changed, and so many things happened. In fact, it can't be said that it all happened today, and some things were buried the day before Zhao Fujin left.
Concubine Xiao De saw that Wan Shengjun withdrew from Yanjing, she couldn't hold back her loneliness, and sent someone to invite Gao Liu, thinking that with these wine bags and rice bags under Liu Yanqing, as long as she recruited the soldiers and horses of Juyongguan Gao Liu, she would definitely be able to regain control of Yanjing, but who knew that Yelu Yujian was lured over, and Yelu Yujian still wanted to sit on the emperor's throne, of course, she had to kill her Xiao Defei first.
Liu Guangshi and others plundered the city, robbed the Han Ji leather store, and killed the shopkeeper Han Yuanshan, but Liu Guangshi didn't know that the Han Ji leather store was the head store of the merchants in Yanjing in Danzhou City, but if they robbed the Han Ji leather store, the Black Iron Army would not sit idly by, not to mention killing the trusted shopkeeper Han Yuanshan and a group of guys?
Yelu Yujian is even more calculated, among the various forces, Yelu Yujian is the most secure, the inside and outside should join forces to capture Yanjing, and kill Concubine Xiao Defei for the first time, and the next thing is to gather the ministers and worship him as the emperor. However, Yelu Yu saw that he didn't know that Liu Yanqing's gang had committed their own death, which attracted the Black Iron Army in Danzhou, which greatly surprised him and caught him off guard; Second, he didn't expect that his personal soldier Boruen had secretly become Lou Mur's eyeliner, and without Boruen's guidance, Lou Mu would not have dared to seize Juyong Guancheng. Now Yelu Yujian no longer has these worries, as for the Black Iron Army and the Lou Room soldiers and horses, he doesn't have to worry about it.
As for Wanyan Lou's room, who led the troops from outside the city, he had long expected that there would be defenders in Yanjing City, and as for whether the defenders were Gao Liu's soldiers and horses or other soldiers and horses, it made no difference to him. After he captured Juyong Pass, he first sent people back to report to Emperor Aguta, and then left half of his men and horses to defend Juyong Pass, so as not to lose this passage connecting the front and back of the mountain; In the end, he led the other half of the men and horses to coerce the Song soldiers who surrendered at Juyongguan, and rushed to this Yanjing City, waiting for an opportunity to attack the city.
The Black Iron Army led by Yelu Yu Liyan and Xiao Laoliu originally thought that the city was just a group of unsuccessful Song soldiers, but they didn't expect that Yanjing City was already in chaos to the extreme: the Song soldiers were chased out by Gao Liu's cavalry, and the Jin soldiers and horses were also killed under the city.
For each party, the reality is not what they expected and imagined, but they have to face it for their own purposes. I'm afraid that no one can tell the cause and effect for a while.
Yu Zhongwen, Kang Gongbi and other ministers saw that Yelu Yu Liyan was going to risk the arrow stone and go to the city to watch the battle, naturally no one flinched, and Yelu Yu Liyan's maid silver bottle also got down from the back carriage and accompanied Yu Liyan. A group of black iron troops surrounded Yelu Yu Liyan and Xiao Laoliu, ascended the city, and came to the tower of Danfeng Gate, followed by the ministers.
In early winter, the sun is about to reach the top of the West Mountain very early, and the clouds are illuminated by the sun and are inlaid with golden borders. It should have been a time when the sun was waning and thousands of birds were returning to the forest, but outside the city was murderous. I saw a cavalry army, just outside the moat under the Qingliang Hall in the west, less than a thousand people, although the number was small, and only the upper body was covered with armor, and the lower body was only wearing thick leather pants and boots, but they were all strong and powerful, and they were thought to be golden soldiers. There was also an infantry army of about 3,000 people, looking at the clothes, it should be the soldiers of Juyongguan City, standing in front of that cavalry army, but it was as if they were being escorted over to fight. Farther away, a group of three or five Jin soldiers rode war horses, chasing and killing the Song soldiers or the cavalry of Gao Liu.
I saw that the Jin soldiers were in a group of three, one was chasing after the horses, and the other two were covering and killing from the left and right sides, and the Song infantry army didn't have time to run at all, so they were chased by the Jin soldiers and slashed to death; And because the cavalry of the sixth high school is scattered everywhere, often a cavalry is chased and killed by three golden soldiers, or chased and stabbed to death, or shot by an arrow, fell to the ground, and was trampled by a golden soldier from behind, and in the screams of the man on the ground, the golden soldier turned around and surrounded the other Liao soldiers. For a while, the Liao soldiers and the Song soldiers ran as far as they could, and they didn't dare to stay within ten miles around Yanjing City.
The Song soldiers were killed, and everyone in the city was not pitiful, but they just watched the cavalry under Gao Liu, who was also a Liao soldier, being bullied by the Jin soldiers so much, which made Xiao Lao Liu indignant, and said suddenly: "If it weren't for the unknown enemy's situation, I would have to kill out of the city and cut down the golden soldier." ”
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a shout outside the city, and it turned out that the Jin soldiers outside the city were scolding a thousand Juyong Guan Liao soldiers to climb onto the car.
It turned out that Yelu Yujian and others led troops to attack the city from the flying ladder and the cloud ladder, but the car was not used. Outside the city, the Jin soldiers thought that after seeing the car, they looked at the shape of the car and guessed the purpose of the car, and at this time they were sending those Liao soldiers to verify.
After those Liao soldiers went up to the top of the car, they were already flush with the city wall, and with the shouting of the Jin soldiers, the Liao soldiers standing on it began to shoot arrows to the black iron army on the city wall, so that the black iron army on the city wall dodged one after another, and when the black iron army returned fire and shot arrows at the Liao soldiers on the car, they were blocked by the animal skin covered in front of the car.
As soon as those golden soldiers saw it, they went to try the ladder and the curtain cart, and the trench cart stayed on the moat, and naturally they understood it at a glance. The curtain was raised to shield the arrows from the soldiers climbing the ladder, which also made the golden soldiers very happy. Since the Jin Bing uprising, they don't know any siege tactics at all, they only know how to blindly fight brutally and fill with human lives.
After some attack, there were casualties. The golden soldiers under the city saw that it was getting late, so they issued an order to withdraw the troops. The Liao soldiers who were escorted to attack the city got down from the ladder and the chariot, retreated to a mile away from the south bank of the moat, gathered together, and set up camp under the order of the Jin soldiers. In the distance, the Jin people who chased and killed the Song soldiers and Liao soldiers still rode horses and cruised in the distance to ensure the safety of the perimeter and prevent people from sneaking up on the military camp.
Seeing that the Jin soldiers retreated, Yelu Yu Liyan said to everyone: "The golden thief is nothing more than that, he is not sure of capturing Yanjing, so he will withdraw his troops early." At the moment, there is no hurry to deal with the gold thief, first clear the Song soldiers and Yelu Yujian's subordinates in the city, and then find an opportunity to drive away the gold thief. ”
Seeing that Yelu Yu Liyan arranged properly, Yu Zhongwen and others said again and again that the Jin soldiers outside the city could not attack this lofty Yanjing City, and the most important thing at the moment was of course to settle down in the city. Yu Zhongwen said to Yelu Yu Liyan: "Princess, the ministers immediately notify the officials of each government, perform their duties, and let the decree be smooth; Then, according to the practice of the Wansheng Army, people were sent to patrol the streets day and night to stabilize the people. ”
Yelu Yu Liyan nodded and said, "What Yu said is very true, and I ask you to bother to settle the people as soon as possible." ”
Kang Gongbi also said: "The minister and all his colleagues, each with his own slaves, immediately clean up the palace city, so that the princess can enter the palace." ”
Yelu Yu Liyan thanked him: "Then there is labor. ”
Xiao Lao Liu also said: "Princess, let's go to the city with all the ministers." ”
Yelu Yu Liyan asked, "Won't my uncle go down?" ”
Xiao Laoliu pointed at the Jin soldiers and said, "I'm worried that the Jin soldiers will attack the city in the middle of the night. Stay in the city tonight. Yelu Yu Liyan said hard work to Xiao Lao Liu, and went down to the city with everyone.
