Chapter 1137 Fleeing, abandoning the city and fleeing

Song Qi made an estimate of the combat effectiveness of the elite soldiers of Yan and Song, and believed that when the Song army was dehydrated and weak, it lost its combat effectiveness.

In the continuous strong attack of the dragon spirit tiger fierce Yan army bed crossbow and catapult, it encountered a rain of guns and stones, and suffered serious casualties.

If the soldiers are in crisis, if they do not evacuate in advance, when the Yan army kills the head of the city and enters the city, the Song army is afraid that the whole army will be destroyed.

Therefore, the only way to do this is to give up Kaifeng, quickly lead the troops to the south gate, take advantage of the fact that there is no Yan army attacking the city at the south gate, and strive to escape, so as to protect the vitality of the Song army.

The aisle was dying, and the Song army suffered heavy casualties, and when they heard Song Qi's order, if they were amnestied, they no longer hesitated, grabbed their soldiers, didn't care about defense, and hurriedly evacuated.

They lost all their strength, and they couldn't even pull the longbow, let alone control the bed crossbow, and counterattack the Yan army.

Despite the evacuation of the West Gate and the abandonment of Kaifeng City, it was a great shame for them. In the face of life and death, they would rather give up their dignity than steal their lives to prepare for the future counterattack on Kaifeng and the counterattack on Yan.

On the west gate, the Song army evacuated like a tide, one by one like frightened birds, not daring to linger for a moment, and evacuated in an orderly manner.

Soon, when they arrived at the central main street, Mingyue and the deputy general protected the empress, and met Song Qi and the deserters in the street.

Seeing Song Qi's embarrassed expression, the Song army withdrew from the city wall, the empress looked panicked and puzzled, and asked: "Song Qi, what happened, why did you evacuate directly before you fought, or did you say that the Yan army captured the West Gate and entered the city?"

The empress had the idea of giving up Kaifeng and retreating the whole army south, however, the Yan army attacked the city, and Song Qi ordered the army to withdraw from the west gate by himself, wouldn't it make it easy to process outside the city?

However, if the Yan army captures the city and evacuates at this moment, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape from the pursuit of the Yan army's iron cavalry.

"Your Majesty, the Yan army used catapults and bed crossbows to storm the west gate, the city was seriously damaged, and the Song army lost its combat strength and could not stop it at all. If they are forced to hold on, the Song army is afraid that they will have to fight the city wall, and they will all be severely damaged by the Yan army." Song Qihu was in a hurry to report the situation of the Song army to the empress.

In an instant, the ruddy face became more and more red, and he gasped for breath, and continued: "In this battle, Emperor Yan is bound to win Kaifeng City, and the last general proposes to abandon Kaifeng City, transfer the whole army to the south, preserve strength, and wait for Meng Kuo to conquer Yanjing, Emperor Yan will wave his army to the north, and I will lead the troops back."

Song Qi knew very well that the empress had the idea of transferring the whole army, and at this moment, when the Song army was in a bad situation, it was not an exaggeration for him to lead the whole army to evacuate.

Hearing the sound, the empress raised her head and looked at the city wall of the West Gate, only to see spears shuttling in the air, boulders flying down, bombarding the city wall, and there were loud noises.

At the same time, the sound of the Yan army shouting wildly came from outside the city, and it seemed that it was clear that the Song army had withdrawn from the west gate and was eager to enter the city.

For a moment, I was secretly panicked.

Immediately, the empress calmed down and hurriedly said: "Song Qi, the Song army can't all evacuate Kaifeng, we must leave the death squad, rely on the streets and alleys in the city to block the pace of the Yan army, otherwise, Ximen Yan will kill into the city, and the iron cavalry will chase and kill, and the Song army will not be able to escape at all."

"Your Majesty, the north gate of the city is defended by Lin Tianzhao, there is no need to leave a death squad, not to mention, the Song army is chaotic, and it is difficult to form a death squad in the chaotic army." Song Qi cut the railway, the more soldiers left in Kaifeng today, the weaker the strength of the Yan army to counterattack in the coming day.

A trace of coldness crossed the empress's pretty face, and she was very worried, but the Song soldiers around her did not stop at all, and withdrew to the south gate one after another.

With a helpless look, he hurriedly said: "In this way, immediately send a messenger to the east gate to inform Jian Ye that all the Song troops in the city will withdraw from the south gate and move to Nanyang City."

Time was running out, the Song army lost its combat strength, and the empress did not dare to order the army and fought to the death with the Yan army on the city wall.

If Lian finally gathered the Song army, he was also wiped out by the Yan army in Kaifeng City, even if Meng Kuo led the troops to occupy Yanjing, the Song State had no chance to reverse the situation.

"Yes!" Song Qizhen immediately ordered the deputy general to go to the east gate, inform Jian Ye, and immediately lead the Song army to protect the female body, and quickly evacuate to the south gate.

Central Main Street, heading to the direction of the South Gate, the Song army is like a mighty flood, destroying everything and flowing towards the South Gate.

At this time, the north gate of Kaifeng City, the sound of killing is everywhere, and it is about to become a real battlefield.

Under the city, Cao Aman held a hammer and smashed seven or eight water tanks, allowing the water in the tanks to splash on the ground.

The defenders of the city, licking their dry lips back and forth, their mouths chirping, there were also soldiers, their faces were lost and anxious, they crawled at the head of the city, looking at the water tank stupidly, if they could grow wings, they wanted to fly down the city immediately, and plunged into the water tank to drink.

Lin Tianzhao was extremely annoyed, and he was extremely eager for the water in the tank to flow into the city and resolve the urgent need.

However, it was not easy to quell the Xuanjia soldiers, the rebel army mutinied, if there was a little slack, it is estimated that the defenders at the head of the city would immediately rebel and make a rebellion, and the Yan army at the north gate would be self-defeating.

In the Yan army, Lin Feng sat on horseback, his eyes looked at the situation of the defenders of the north gate in detail.

After the half-pillar incense kung fu passed, the defenders in the city made waves, and soon calmed down, Lin Feng knew very well that if he wanted to provoke the Xuanjia soldiers, the righteous army, and internal contradictions, I am afraid it would be extremely difficult.

No longer hesitated, and immediately, he drew his saber, the blade was in the scabbard, gurgling, and he rode violently, shouting: "The whole army is attacking, attacking the city!"

He left the defenders in the city with a chance, but the other party did not cherish it, so the only way to attack was to attack.

The order, the cavalry on all sides, grabbed the drum hammer and struck it violently on the snare drum to encourage the morale of the three armies.

With this, in front of the battle array, the Yan army relied on bed crossbows and catapults, as if giants were striding towards the north gate of Kaifeng, and soon, the whole army was ready to strike a fierce blow to the defenders of the city.

Lin Tianzhao saw that the Yan army finally couldn't bear it anymore and attacked, so he immediately clenched his short sword tightly and shouted to the defenders of the city: "The Yan army is coming, and if you don't want to die, you should fight the enemy with spirit."

After receiving the order, his legs were weak, he was weak to defend the army, and he grabbed the soldiers listlessly, and used the crossbow for a short period of time to defend, but he turned a blind eye to the most lethal bed crossbow next to him.

The rain of guns and stones in the air came, as if the cannonballs fell on the north gate, the boulders were shattered, the spears entered the body, the dust in the aisle was flying, and the screams were continuous.

For a while, the Xuanjia soldiers, among the rebels, those who were not strong-willed, suffered heavy losses, and witnessed the tragic death of the four-sided robe, and fled from the city wall in a hurry.

Resisting the enemy like this is no different from seeking their own death, those, the Xuanjia soldiers who have not experienced a hard battle, the rebels, holding their heads and running around, dare not stay for a long time.

Lin Tianzhao had the heart to lead the troops to insist, defend the north gate, and strive for a glimmer of life for the whole army.

However, the Xuanjia soldiers and the righteous army suffered extremely heavy casualties, and in addition, they kept fleeing, and in the corridors, the corpses of the righteous army and the Xuanjia soldiers were staggering and scattering all over the city.

Lin Tianzhao's face was cold, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had not stopped the Yan army since the war. The Xuanjia soldiers, the righteous army, have paid a heavy price, and if it continues, the Xuanjia soldiers and the righteous army will be wiped out.

What's more, who dares to guarantee that the fleeing soldiers will not open the city gate and welcome the Yan army into the city.

At this time, there were spies of the Song army in the east and west directions of the city head who hurried over, ran up the city wall in a hurry, came to Lin Tianzhao's side, and panted: "Will.... Checkmate...... Big things are not good, Song.... Song Jun... Evacuated from the east and west gates!"

"What?" Hearing the sound, Lin Tianzhao was taken aback when he heard the sound, and asked in a creepy manner.

At the north gate, despite the demands of the soldiers, he forcibly suppressed the mutiny of the defenders and ordered the soldiers to defend the city to the death.

Song Qi was silent, moving to the south gate, if not expected, most of the other party had evacuated Kaifeng City.

This Kaifeng City is the city of the Song Kingdom, not the Chu State, not the soldiers, the battle of Kaifeng City, just started, the Song army was fully evacuated, wouldn't it push the Xuanjia soldiers and the righteous army to the land of no return.

Lin Tianzhao's mind spun quickly, and he repeatedly thought about what to do next.

Occupy Kaifeng and defend it, waiting for the soldier lord to lead the troops to come, or abandon the north gate, and the whole army withdraws, or is helpless, and takes the initiative to surrender to the Yan army.

Nowadays, the righteous army, the Xuanjia soldiers, the combat effectiveness is very limited, the Song army has withdrawn, the east and west defenses are empty, and the righteous army and the Xuanjia soldiers alone cannot stop the Yan army's edge.

If the city is broken by the Yan army, the Xuanjia soldiers, the righteous army stays behind, the Yan Chu contradiction, the Yan country and the soldiers contradict, Emperor Yan will definitely kill all the Xuanjia soldiers, the righteous army, everyone will definitely die.

In the helplessness of the chaos, Lin Tianzhao turned his head to look outside the north gate, at this moment, the Yan army was like a rainbow, attacking with all his might, and suddenly, he was nervous and shuddered. The more confused it becomes.

The Song army was the first to evacuate at the east and west city gates, and the Yan army outside the east and west city gates must seize the opportunity to enter the city.

At this moment, the retreat of the Xuanjia soldiers and the righteous army is very likely to be blocked, not to mention, the Yan army is surrounded by three missing one, who dares to guarantee that it will no longer be ambushed at the south gate?

When there was little silence, Lin Tianzhao gritted his teeth and made a decision, withdraw, must evacuate. He immediately ordered: "The whole army should stop defending and evacuate without stopping, and all the troops must withdraw from the city before the Yan army enters the city."

The monarchs and ministers of the Song State, despicable and shameless, wanted him and the Xuanjia soldiers and the righteous army to stay, and fought to the death with the Yan army to the end, so as to fight for the Song army to get a chance to escape, Lin Tianzhao would never make wedding clothes for others, and let the soldiers under the tent die tragically to open the north gate of the city.

"Yes!" The guard was ordered to understand the cause and effect of the incident, and learned that the Song army was withdrawing from Kaifeng City, and he was also very annoyed.

However, the situation was critical, and he did not dare to hesitate at all, so he could only withdraw from the city quickly.

"Evacuate the whole army!" The defender waved his blade and walked towards the defenders.

After receiving the order, the Xuanjia soldiers and the righteous army who had already had the intention of evacuating seemed to rush out of the fence and flock to all directions.

However, during the withdrawal of the army, some soldiers and Lin Tianzhao quickly moved to the south gate, and some soldiers rushed down the city, went straight to the north gate, and opened the north gate to surrender to the Yan army.

Hunger and thirst made many soldiers in the righteous army and Xuanjia soldiers lose their minds, and in order to survive, they will not consider anything else at all.

Lin Tianzhao led the troops forward, and when he saw the soldiers in the rear turning back towards the north gate, he immediately ordered the soldiers around him: "Shoot all traitors."

The rebels, the Xuanjia soldiers, just rushed down the city, if some traitors, open the north gate, and then Yan cavalry rushed into the city, only with weak soldiers, how to escape from Yan cavalry.

Loyal to Lin Tianzhao, he picked up his crossbow and shot the traitor who went to the north gate with all his heart.

The broken arrow flew swiftly in the air like a locust, and soon, under the north gate, there was a river of blood and corpses.

Those soldiers who planned to go to the north gate, open the city, and welcome the Yan army into the city, seeing that Pao Ze was killed, and not many soldiers wanted to go to the north gate, they couldn't help but stop and secretly hesitated.

At the moment of life and death, Lin Tianzhao was cold-blooded and ruthless, none of them dared to fight for their lives and joke with their lives.

However, Lin Tianzhao didn't dare to stay for a long time, among the righteous army and Xuanjia soldiers, there were soldiers who wanted to open the city gate and lead the Yan army into the city, he could kill some of them, but he couldn't kill them all.

What's more, if the eunuchs are delayed at the north gate, if the Yan army attacks from the city, it will be difficult for any of them to evacuate.

Ordering the army to shoot the first wave of traitors, Lin Tianzhao immediately grabbed his blade and led the troops to evacuate quickly.

Time is running out, and the longer they waste time at the North Gate, the worse they will become.

For a while, the killing at the north gate stopped, and a large number of soldiers moved to the south gate with Lin Tianzhao.

Those who had bad intentions and were anxious to survive were brave and noticed that Lin Tianzhao Dao led the troops away. Then he hurriedly turned and walked towards the north gate.

Soon, in the concerted efforts of the other party, Xun opened the north gate.

Unfortunately, they had not yet rushed out of the north gate, but they saw wild dogs and wolves all over the mountains outside the city, like a tide, bursting out with a terrifying barking of dogs, coming from outside the city gate.

Those who had just poured out of the city gate, and saw the vicious and cruel dogs and wolves on all sides, rushed to them, and hurriedly turned around, wanting to return to the city.

However, many soldiers in the rear rushed out, and they turned around and wanted to rebel and enter, but unfortunately, they could not return to the city at all.

Instantly, near the north gate, a terrifying scream sounded, the dog and wolf had not yet approached, and many soldiers were already paralyzed with fright.

Near the city gate, Cao Aman led hundreds of horsemen to provoke under the city gate, and when he saw the city gate open, the dog and wolf rushed into the city gate as if it were a tide.

Cao Aman grinned, grabbed the double hammer, and shouted wildly to the blade warriors beside him: "Pick up the repeater and shoot, act quickly, and open the passage for the rear army."

"Yes!"

More than 100 blade warriors quickly picked up the repeater crossbow, galloped on horseback, and in the process of moving forward, they had already pulled the repeater in advance and shot it.

Bai Yisheng and Li Lin were ordered by Lin Feng to pay close attention to the situation at the north gate at all times, and when they noticed that the north gate was opened, they did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the cavalry to follow the dogs and wolves and kill them into the city.

At this moment, they don't care why the north gate is open or why the defenders of the north gate are withdrawing, as long as they enter Kaifeng City, with dogs, wolves, and cavalry, they can still easily kill the weak Xuanjia soldiers.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Bai Yisheng and Li Lin waved their troops and ordered the army to seize the fighter planes and move forward quickly, striving to enter the city in a lightning speed.

The sound of horses' hooves on the ground rolled, and the sound of the ground shaking the mountains exploded.

In the process of moving forward, Yan Qi quickly drew his horse chopping knife and walked away from his strength.

At this moment, in the passage of the north gate, there is chaos, and the dogs and wolves are attacking, which makes the north gate a hunting ground.

Cao Aman led the troops forward, and after the first round of shooting, he found that the passage was full of dogs and wolves, and there was no need for cavalry to shoot, and the defenders of the north gate did not want to defend it.

Suddenly, grab the double hammer and speed up the speed.

Lin Tianzhao led the army to evacuate to the south, and not long after leaving the north gate, he heard the barking of chaotic dogs from the rear, and suddenly, his heart trembled, and his heart was extremely frightened.
