Chapter 1138 Escape from Kaifeng City
Tian Lai Xiao said. 2. Lin Tianzhao hoped that before the Yan army entered the city, he would lead his troops to withdraw from Kaifeng City and strive to ensure that the Xuanjia soldiers under his tent would be safe and sound.
However, the sound of a dog barking came from the north gate, which made Lin Tianzhao's heart sink down, as if someone had stabbed him with a knife in his heart.
He told the rebels and Xuanjia soldiers not to act as traitors, and not to push more than 100,000 elite soldiers into the fire pit.
It's a pity that in the escape, the Xuanjia soldiers and the righteous army are still trying to survive, regardless of the lives of many robes.
At this moment, there was a loud dog barking from the north gate, it must be some rebellion, in order to save his life, he took the initiative to open the city gate and introduce Yan Qi into the city.
It's just that the soldiers of the Yan State hate the Chu State and the soldiers to the core, how can the rebels live.
The situation was critical, Yan Qi came in a blink of an eye, Lin Tianzhao couldn't help urging the army, speeding up the pace of progress, preventing Yan Qi and the dog wolf from chasing from the north gate, they did not flee from Kung Fu.
"Withdraw, withdraw!" As he was moving forward, Lin Tianzhao waved his short sword and urged his soldiers to move forward quickly.
The soldiers and nobles, the chaotic army fled, and they should be quick to hide their ears and do their best.
More than 100,000 soldiers defended Kaifeng City, but were betrayed by the Song army.
At present, the whole army is weak and has lost its combat strength, and he does not want to let the army under his account be buried in Kaifeng.
It's a pity that the Xuanjia soldiers, the righteous army, have been short of water for a long time, they are weak, they are sweating and panting during the rapid march, many soldiers have the corners of their mouths, their faces are pale, and even occasionally there are soldiers, who suddenly foam at the mouth and faint while marching.
On the contrary, they pushed each other, and when they fled, the tense atmosphere made the Xuanjia soldiers and the rebels completely collapse.
In front of the army, Lin Tianzhao himself, sweat was flowing on his back, beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, he was panting, and his face was pale.
During the rapid movement, he only felt that his legs seemed to be boiling molten iron, weighing a thousand pounds, and every time he moved forward, his strength in his body was reduced by two or three points, and he was dizzy.
When he ran wildly, the objects in front of him were hazy and blurred, and Lin Tianzhao was not clear whether he could safely withdraw from Kaifeng City.
About half a pillar of incense, Lin Tianzhao led the troops deep into the main street of Kaifeng City, suddenly, he heard the clattering of horses' hooves from all sides, like muffled thunder, through the deserters when evacuating, the sound of black mess, can be heard faintly clearly.
He couldn't help but be cautious, raised his right hand, signaled the whole army to be quiet, and supported the ground with a short sword in his left hand, shaking his legs back and forth steadily.
The Song army, who looked like a wounded beast, stopped one after another, looked up at the four directions, and held their swords vigilantly.
On both sides of the street, the door panels, the windows, were slightly shaken, and the dust on them was like a dragon rolling on the ground.
"Kill!"
"Kill"
Suddenly, two sounds of killing came from the streets and alleys on both sides of the street, and then, from the shops, restaurants, windows, and gates on both sides of the street, bursts of broken arrows and spears were shot like flying locusts and snakes.
Suddenly, the Song troops on both wings were shot by sharp arrows and pierced by spears, and there were screams in the streets.
Lin Tian looked at it and hurriedly said: "It's not good, the Yan army occupies the Song army and deploys defenses in the city to defend us, you can't stay here for a long time, and the whole army will evacuate quickly."
Before the battle, the Song army was built into an iron wall by Kaifeng City, preparing to fight with the Yan army in the city, fighting for every inch of land, consuming the vitality of the Yan army, from the streets and alleys of Kaifeng, reduced to the tomb of the Yan army.
It's a pity that the efforts of the Song army were not applied to the Yan army, and these traps fell into the hands of the Yan army, becoming an ambush for the Xuanjia soldiers and a sharp weapon for the righteous army.
The Xuanjia soldiers, the rebels, suffered heavy casualties from the ambush, and had to flee in a hurry with Lin Tianzhao, striving to escape from the trap set by the Song army as soon as possible.
They rode their horses to the city, picked up their crossbows in their hands, rushed out of the alley, picked up their crossbows, and quickly shot at the Xuanjia soldiers and rebels who were approaching.
For a while, a rain of arrows, like a downpour, fell from the sky, and the streets seemed to be wrapped in a rain of arrows.
Desperately fleeing the Xuanjia soldiers, the light pink soldiers of the righteous army, were caught off guard, and were shot countless by the sudden rain of arrows.
In front of the street, in the alleys on both sides, Hou Mingfeng and Ju Wentai led their horses to rush out, like a huge blunt knife, cutting off the long answer, completely blocking the escape of the righteous army and the Xuanjia soldiers.
Lin Tianzhao waved his soldiers, quickly blocking the rain of arrows, but his arms seemed to be restrained, heavy and weak, and his movements were slow, and he was soon injured by the messy arrow rain.
When he looked at Hou Mingfeng, Ju Wentai led the troops to block the middle of the street, and suddenly, his face turned pale with fright, and his whole body seemed to be drained, and he stared forward incredibly with a sword.
Before evacuating, he was worried that the Yan army would enter the city from the east and west gates in advance, who knows, the other party really entered the city in advance, and did not chase and kill the Song army, but ambushed the righteous army and the Xuanjia soldiers in the city.
There is no endless road, but Hou Mingfeng, Ju Wentai led the troops to kill, cold shooting, restaurants on both sides of the street, there are Yan troops hidden in the store, and a large number of Yan horsemen poured into the city from the north gate, there were enemies on all sides, and he had no way to retreat.
The rain of arrows struck, and the Xuanjia soldiers who hurried to the south gate, the righteous army, seemed to be surrounded by wolves, helpless lambs, all the soldiers suffered serious casualties, Lin Tianzhao's arm was injured, and he had no choice but to hide among the soldiers.
Hearing the sound of killing in his ears and seeing the rain of arrows in the air, Lin Tianzhao's heart was like an arm wound, bleeding nonstop.
The soldiers have been defeated in the hands of the Yan army many times, this time, they have not yet clashed with the Yan army, they are in a situation of total defeat, at this time, the Yan army holds a crossbow and kills the righteous army and the Xuanjia soldiers.
All kinds of things in the past, today's situation. It's a disgrace to the soldiers.
With this, Hou Mingfeng, Ju Wentai led the troops, impacted, shot half a cup of tea, saw the extremely poor combat effectiveness of the Xuanjia soldiers in the city, the righteous army, still blocked, Hou Mingfeng immediately shouted: "Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who stubbornly resist will not be killed."
"Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who stubbornly resist will not be killed."
"Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who stubbornly resist will not be killed."
Yan Jun drank wildly and conveyed Hou Mingfeng's order.
At this moment, Hou Mingfeng knew that the lack of water for several days had put the soldiers and civilians in Kaifeng City in a very dangerous state, and the morale of the defenders in the city had fallen to the bottom, and his own physical strength had been greatly damaged, and he was not the opponent of the Yan army at all.
The other party abandoned the city and fled, proving that the other party did not have much combat effectiveness, let alone firm determination.
Nowadays, the two armies meet in a narrow way, and the Yan cavalry has formed a crushing posture against the Xuanjia soldiers and the righteous army, and there is no suspense of counteroffensive in this battle.
He couldn't spend too much effort on the Xuanjia soldiers and the righteous army, and the empress led the Song army and fled.
What's more, if more than 100,000 soldiers are shot and killed by him and Ju Wentai in the streets of Kaifeng City, it will cause the Yan army to fight, and the biggest tragedy will definitely be reprimanded by the emperor.
If Lin Tian understands the current affairs and leads the troops to surrender quickly, the battle in the city is over, the Yan army does not have to kill, and he can also lead the army to go out of the city to pursue the empress. and the Song army he led,
Hearing the words of the Yan army, many Xuanjia soldiers were killed by the rain of arrows, panicked, and their faces were helpless, so they took the initiative to throw away their weapons, squatted on the ground, and surrendered to the Yan army.
The rebels were brave and afraid of being shot by a rain of arrows, but they still stubbornly resisted, and seemed to fight to the death with the Yan army.
Hou Ming couldn't help but be angry, and shouted wildly to the Yan cavalry on all sides: "Kill all the stubborn resisters, fight and fight, don't stay for a long time."
"Find Lin Tianzhao's traces, kill Lin Tianzhao, and break the will of the rebels." Ju Wentai was beside him, urging the army.
In any case, it is important to end the battle in the shortest possible time.
Even if the rebel army under Lin Tianzhao is killed, the empress can't let the Song army escape, otherwise, in the past few days, the Yan army has spent hard work, and it will not be wasted.
Yan Jun received the order, his face was firm, ruthless, as if the killing god had descended into the world, he picked up the crossbow and shot at the stubborn resisters, the arrow rain in the air was more victorious, the blade in the Yan rider's hand was faster, the more corpses on the ground, the stronger the smell of blood in the air.
The central main street of Kaifeng City has been completely reduced to a hunting ground.
Soon, when Lin Feng led his troops to arrive in the city, the defenders near the city gate were either bitten to death by dogs and wolves, or beheaded by Yan Qi, and the ground was full of corpses, and blood flowed slowly out of the city along the gaps in the bluestone slabs.
The passage from outside the city to the city is unimpeded.
However, there were still sounds of killing in the city, and the sound of soldiers intertwining sounded, Lin Feng thought secretly, guessing that most of the Hou Mingfeng, Ju Wentai led the troops, and killed into the city, and fought hard with the Song army, the Xuanjia soldiers, and the righteous army in the city.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Feng's face was cold, and Li Lin commanded Bai Yisheng: "Bai Yisheng, Li Lin, immediately lead the cavalry to the city and eliminate all the stubborn resistance."
"Yes!" Bai Yisheng and Li Lin led the troops to.
Bai Yisheng and Li Lin did not expect that the situation in Kaifeng City would change dramatically, and the guards at the north gate would take the initiative to abandon the city, and the whole army would evacuate, and even some Xuanjia soldiers would take the initiative to open the city gate, and it would be almost effortless to kill them into the city.
With this, Lin Feng turned his head to Cao Aman, and Luo Da said: "There is a fierce battle in the city, you lead the troops and me to the south gate, intercept the empress, and prevent the other party from escaping from the south gate in the chaos."
Escaping from the south gate, they will undoubtedly jump out of the fire pit, and they may not be able to catch up with the empress outside the city, so they must not let the other party escape from Kaifeng City.
Without scruples about the war in the city, Lin Feng, Cao Aman, and Luo Da led five thousand blade warriors, avoided the central street, walked into the alley in a roundabout way, and quickly headed towards the south gate.
The army is like a flood beast, spreading quickly through the city. From the north of the city to the south of the city, it flows mightily.
In their hearts, all Yan Qi wanted to capture the empress alive and capture Song Qi and Jian Ye, as long as the empress was captured alive, the Song Kingdom would be completely destroyed, and there would be no force in the north to threaten the Yan Kingdom.
With this, the empress, Song Qi, Jian Ye, led more than 100,000 Song troops, in no obstruction, the soldiers and nobles, dragging their tired bodies, fortunately rushed out of the south gate of Kaifeng City.
However, the body is tired and brave, either the advance is extremely slow, or in the advance, there are many people left behind, and the army comes out from the south gate of Kaifeng City, like a beast dragging a giant tail.
During the advance, the empress noticed the situation of the Song army, and hurriedly said to Song Qi and Jian Ye: "The whole army marches quickly, arrives in Nanyang City, and completely cuts off the bridge across the river, so that the Song army may be able to escape from death."
