Chapter 554: Back to the Crane Imperial City

"I'm on official business, let's do it another day!" , Yelu Ahai took away the liquor and refused. Yaravaka joked twice, and then began to probe: "The king of Khan summoned you today, but for the purpose of returning to the crane? ”。

Previously, when the envoys of Huihe were hurriedly led to the king's tent, many people could see them on the road. Yarawachi has good ears and eyes, and naturally knows what is going on. Originally, he wanted to poison the Hui He envoy on the way, but there was a message from the Affairs Department that he should not startle the snake.

Yelu Ahai glanced at Yaravachi vigilantly, and the latter quickly explained with a smile: "If Mongolia is at odds with Khorasan, it will be difficult for us to do business. Therefore, I knew the news earlier so as not to be out of time. ”。

The relationship between Li's firm and Li Chengji, Yelu Ahai is not unaware. So he didn't believe all of Yaravachi's words. However, there are some things to say to Jerea Hai, and it is not impossible. He pondered for a while, and then spoke: "Huihe is a vassal of my Great Mongolian State, and Khorasan has angered the Khan by raising troops in a hurry. Now he sent me to negotiate, and pointed out that the eldest prince was stationed in the old land. I only hope that the lord of Khorasan will know his way and not make mistakes again. ”。

In these words, the meaning of warning is not too strong!

Yaravachi also knew Yelu Ahai's intentions, so he only smiled embarrassedly and said, "I only hope that Mongolia and Khorasan will be on good terms, and don't make it difficult for me to do business." ”。

Jereus Ahai listened, but didn't say much. Then Yarawachi didn't stay long, and took his leave.

Just as the Mongols were preparing to put pressure on Khorasan, the sound of artillery in Hezhou was earth-shattering.

But it was Khorasan who lit twenty cannons at the same time, and the city wall of Hezhou was blown to the ground and crumbling. The original tall city gate tower has disappeared. The soldiers stationed in the city were also nowhere to be seen.

There were only ruins and smoke of gunpowder. From time to time, the wails of the dying are heard, which makes people's hearts tremble. The Khorasan soldiers outside the city also stared wide-eyed! Although in Ali Mali, the Khorasan cannon was already powerful.

But at that time, ten guns were fired alternately, and it was not as devastating as the salvo of these twenty guns. Many of the tribal elders have put away the arrogance that has been born of the plundering in recent days, and once again revered Khorasan as a god.

In the prime minister's mansion, Bayingelen listened to the deafening sound of artillery fire and felt the shaking of the ground. The stubborn Huihe also protected him, and gave birth to a strong disdain. Although he was detained in the city because of the envoy of Khorasan, because of his status as the son of the prime minister, there was no danger of his life.

Of course, it was also Balshu Arte who also wanted to leave a way back for himself, so he did not dare to kill him and angered Khorasan.

This made Bayingelen look down on Balshu Arte even more in his heart. Because Khorasan has long said that he will not surrender to death!

Therefore, when the Khorasan army entered the city, there was only one way to die up and down the crane.

And in the imperial city, which is separated from the prime minister's palace by a wall, Balshu Arte is also very worried. It's just that he is not because of the sound of cannons outside the city, but because of the chaos that suddenly appeared in the imperial city.

At present, he doesn't know who planned and instigated it, but when the chaotic party appeared, he quickly assigned the guards to clean it up, and he hid in the palace alone, for fear that the chaotic party would come in.

And outside the city, a salvo has stopped. The artillerymen began to water the hot barrels so that their temperature would cool down quickly. At the same time, the catapults were loaded and began to smash into the dilapidated walls in unison.

I saw that the earth and rocks above the foundation of the city began to crumble, and gaps appeared. There was no need for Li Chengji to say much, Li Gao commanded the soldiers to rush to the city wall.

At this time, the defenders had suffered heavy losses under the artillery fire of Khorasan, and even if they survived, they did not dare to approach the city walls. Therefore, the Khorasan army successfully attacked the city and opened the city gates.

Tens of thousands of Khorasan cavalry began to pour into the city, and any resistance was wiped out in the face of this torrent.

"Run! Run! ”,

"The infidels have come in!" Some of the defeated troops, together with the people, turned around and fled to the inner city. The Khorasan army only wanted to take control of the city gates as quickly as possible, so they did not care to distinguish between the people and the defeated army. Only trample all the creatures in your way under your feet, and quickly rush to the inner city.

So many of the people and the defeated army fell under their horses, and the sound of the hoofs of the horses sounded, and they were trampled to pulp.

But the outer city is too big, and there are many obstacles on the way. By the time the Khorasan army rushed to the inner city, the gates were already closed.

He led an army alone and made meritorious contributions. Seeing that the city gate was closed, he couldn't help but be angry and scolded. And he threw his great axe at the gate, and struck it upon it. This caused the defenders, who were already frightened birds, to flee one after another, and it was comical for a while.

"Call me!" , who was about to give up, immediately rejoiced, and took the lead in rushing to the city gate. The other soldiers followed, pulling out the fire and thunder they were carrying.

Other generals shot arrows at the walls to provide shelter for the Barbarians and them. In the end, the walls of the inner city were not as good as the outer city, neither tall nor wide. The longbow of the Khorasan army could be shot at the head of the city.

This made the already demoralized defenders even more unintentional.

And the Torbas barbarians, they stuffed all the fire and thunder under the city gates. Twist the lead wire into a rope and light the fire.

Hearing a thud, they clamped the horse's belly and hurried away.

Rumble!

Ground Earthquake!

Some of the defenders on the walls were unsteady on their feet and fell straight down. Before they could call, the Khorasan soldiers took their lives with a single sword.

And the city gate also exploded from the bottom, and you can see the stunned defenders inside.

"Rush!" , such a great opportunity, how can you miss it! Ghubas was the first to rush towards the gates. The other soldiers followed, and together they broke through the deformed gates.

The defenders hurriedly fired a few arrows and fled into the city.

They had no mercy and fought against the enemy who had their backs to them. Rows and rows of enemy troops fell, and the ground was tiled with layers upon layers of corpses.

When they arrived at the imperial city, they found that there was already a shout of murder inside.

At first, he thought it was a friendly army that had attacked first! Until the palace maid who fled told them that there was a rebellion in the imperial city.

Although he didn't know what the origin of the chaotic party was, he couldn't think about it. After all, it is a great achievement to seize the imperial city and capture the lord of the Crane Kingdom. Whoever sees it will not be willing to let it go in vain.

stopped a few palace maids and eunuchs who had escaped, and asked them to lead the way to the palace of Yidu Hu.

When they came to an open space in front of a temple, they found two groups fighting on a stone bridge over the moat. One of them was dressed in armor and was clearly from a military background. The other party is dressed differently, and many of them are still dressed as palace people. It's just that the cuffs are tied with red scarves, which should be the mess that those palace maids said.
