A soldier rushed over and reported to Li Yanqing urgently: "Qi Yu commanded, more than half of our army suffered casualties in the battle for Yanjing Mansion, General Zhang was unfortunately killed, and begged for reinforcements!" ”

Li Yanqing's heart was dripping blood, the fourth battalion was responsible for attacking the Yanjing Mansion, but he didn't expect the partial general Zhang Wenxiao to be killed, he turned around and shouted: "Yanqing! ”

Yan Qing rushed up, "Humble duty!" ”

"You lead the scout battalion to support the government quickly!"

"Obey the order!"

Yan Qing waved his hand, "The scout camp will come with me!" ”

He led three hundred soldiers from the scout battalion to the palace.

At this time, another cavalryman sent an urgent report, "The Song army suffered heavy casualties in the Nancheng Street Battle, two generals were killed, and General Cao Xing asked for support!" ”

Li Yanqing knew that if Cao Xing was not in a critical situation, he would never ask for help from himself, but he himself only had 1,700 people left, and the opponent had 3,000 people, and he could no longer divide his troops to support, so he had to take out an arrow and hand it to his own soldiers: "Go to Dongcheng quickly, and let Wang Gui be sure to draw out 500 people to support Nancheng!" ”

"Obey!" The soldiers took the order and urged the horses to gallop away.

Li Yanqing was anxious, if he continued to fight like this, his right army would have more than half of the casualties, and he couldn't wait for reinforcements, and he had to end the war in the palace immediately, even if Empress Dowager Xiao fled, there was no way.

He immediately ordered: "Shoot the earth-shattering thunder and blow up the palace gate for me!" ”

A small trebuchet rumbled up, and this small trebuchet could shoot a sixty-pound sky-shaking laser fifty steps away, which was almost the distance of the palace gate.

The soldier lit the fire rope, and when the fire rope was about to burn to the mouth of the pot, the trebuchet suddenly launched, throwing the black earth-shattering thunder towards the palace gate, and all the Song soldiers covered their ears and lay on the ground together, if they did not cover their ears within a hundred steps, they were likely to be deafened by the explosion.

The earth-shattering thunder sneering white smoke landed ten steps in front of the palace gate, 'Bang! With a loud bang, it smashed several stone slabs, and it continued to slide towards the palace gate by inertia, and just as it had just hit the palace gate, it exploded suddenly.

The earth-shattering explosion shook the entire Yanjing City, the palace gate was shattered, the palace gates on both sides of the palace gate also collapsed, and the more than 300 Liao soldiers guarding both sides of the palace gate were all shocked to death.

Li Yanqing shouted, "Kill into the palace!" ”

1,700 Song soldiers under the leadership of Li Yanqing rushed to the palace gate, and Xiao Fengxian shouted hoarsely: "Give me the top and block the palace gate!" ”

A thousand Praetorian Guard soldiers rushed to the palace gate, and the soldiers on both sides fought fiercely in front of the palace gate, the Song army was extremely brave under the leadership of the fierce general Cao Meng, but the Liao soldiers also resisted desperately, and the corpses continued to pile up on the ground, but no one was willing to take a step back.

At this time, a soldier rushed over and presented an arrow letter to Xiao Fengxian, "It's another arrow letter shot by Jin Bing!" ”

Xiao Fengxian hurriedly ripped off the arrow and opened the letter, there was still only one sentence in it, "The tens of thousands of reinforcements of the Song army are less than thirty miles away from Dongcheng!" ”

Xiao Fengxian's heart was cold, as if he had stumbled and fallen into the ice cave, he was still counting on Xiao Gan's reinforcements, but he didn't expect that the Song army reinforcements arrived first, it seemed that the capital could not be defended, and it must be evacuated immediately.

He immediately shouted: "Order General Yelupu to defend Shengtianmen for me, even if the whole army dies in battle, I must resist the Song army!" ”

He turned around and ran towards the palace, in front of the steps of Ziyang Palace, Xiao Fengxian met the panicked Empress Dowager Xiao, he hurriedly said: "The Empress Dowager must leave Xijin City immediately, the Song army reinforcements are about to arrive, and the capital can no longer be saved!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao said in a trembling voice: "The capital can't be saved, where will the mourning family go?" ”

"The Queen Mother can go to the first emperor, he is currently in the Jiashan area, is actively recovering Xijing, and is willing to escort the Queen Mother forward."

Empress Dowager Xiao had no idea, so she had to nod and say, "Let the mourning family clean up and inform the ministers in the palace to go to Jiashan together." ”

"It's too late, the Song army has already broken through the palace gate, and it will soon be here, we have to leave now!"

"The jade seal has to be taken!"

"Where's the jade seal?" Xiao Feng asked anxiously.

"In the hands of Lu Hanerhua, the mourning family doesn't know where he is now?"

Lu Hanerhua was the confidant eunuch of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the earth-shattering explosion of the earth-shattering thunder just now scared him into tears and went into hiding.

Xiao Fengxian hurriedly ordered to look left and right, but after searching for a few laps and no one was found, at this time, there were several violent explosions at the palace gate, and a soldier rushed over, "The firearms of the Song army are too powerful, we can't resist it." ”

Xiao Fengxian stomped his feet with hatred, "It's too late, the Queen Mother gets in the car!" ”

Empress Dowager Xiao was so frightened that she completely lost her opinion, and she didn't care about looking for Yuxi again, so she immediately took several henchmen and palace maids into a carriage pulled by eight strong horses.

Xiao Fengxian was worried about the interception of the Jin soldiers outside the city, leaving only 1,000 soldiers to fight fiercely with the Song army, and he personally led the remaining 2,000 Praetorian Guard cavalry to escort the Empress Dowager Xiao to rush out of the Xuanwu Gate and flee to the Gubeikou in the direction of Danzhou.

As he expected, as soon as they rushed out of the Xuanwu Gate, the three hundred Jin State cavalry outposts immediately came out of the woods, shouting and shooting arrows at the Liao cavalry, in an attempt to intercept the Empress Dowager Xiao's chariot.

Xiao Fengxian shouted to a general: "You lead a thousand cavalry to stop the Jurchens, and I will escort the Queen Mother away!" ”

The general shouted, led a thousand Liao cavalry to meet the battle, and fought fiercely with the three hundred Jin State cavalry, while Xiao Fengxian led the rest of the cavalry to escort the carriage and galloped along the Beiguan Road.

At this moment, there was a continuous explosion in the direction of the palace behind him, black smoke rose into the air, Xiao Fengxian sighed lowly, the palace must have been lost.

With the explosion of more than 20 iron thunderbolts in the Liao army soldiers, the Liao army suffered more than 300 casualties, the main general Yelupu was killed, the Liao soldiers who were defending the palace finally collapsed, scattered and fled, Li Yanqing led more than 1,000 people to kill into the Liao palace.

"Light the Sky Tower for me!" Li Yanqing immediately ordered.

Guantianlou is the highest building in the entire Yanjing City, the whole city can see it, Guantianlou is set on fire is to tell the Liao soldiers in the city, the palace has been captured by the Song army.

．．．．．．．

With the fall of the palace, the morale of the Liao army in Yanjing City began to gradually weaken, the Song army finally gained the upper hand, Liu Jian led 500 people from the palace to support the battle for the palace, and the 500 Liao soldiers who defended the palace finally laid down their arms and surrendered.

The end of the tragic battle of the government was like a domino falling for the second time, and a thousand soldiers divided into two routes and turned to support the eastern and southern cities.

With 500 soldiers led by Liu Jian to kill from the back, the resistance of the Liao army was dissolved, and the Song army quickly captured the East City Gate, leaving only hundreds of remnants of the Liao Army soldiers to fight and retreat, retreating in the direction of the southeast city wall, this tragic battle for the East City Liao soldiers killed more than 1,000 people, and the Song army also killed nearly 600 people.

"Our reinforcements have arrived!" Some soldiers shouted outside the city.

In the night, I saw that the 3,000 reinforcements led by Wang Yuan had already been killed outside the city, and the other 7,000 people led by Zhang Shuye had also been killed five miles away, and they were rushing towards the east city.

"Lao Tzu has already won before they came, phew!"

Wang Gui was angry in his heart, and spat on the ground fiercely, Niu Gao hurriedly persuaded him, "The Jin soldiers are also about to be killed, and they are coming to defend the city!" ”

Wang Gui snorted heavily, jumped onto the city, planted the banner of the Song army on the city with his own hands, and shouted the order: "Open the city!" ”

The eastern city is the urn city, and the inner and outer gates rumbled open, and Wang Yuan led three thousand Song troops to rush into Yanjing City with a shout.

"Brothers, follow me to the warehouse!"

Wang Gui shouted, led more than 1,000 soldiers to rush down the city, and ran in the direction of the warehouse, the battle for the warehouse was not over, Li Yanqing ordered Wang Gui to rush to support immediately.

At this time, Liu Jian greeted him and met Wang Yuan, who had just entered the city, and Wang Yuan hugged his fists apologetically and said: "I'm sorry, we were harassed by the Jin soldiers, and they destroyed two key bridges and delayed a little time. ”

Liu Jian sighed in his heart, if the reinforcements could arrive half an hour earlier, it would not let the Empress Dowager Xiao escape, but he couldn't say this kind of complaint, so he could only report it truthfully to the Seed Master.

He hurriedly said: "Now the street fighting in the city has not completely ended, especially the fierce battle between the south city and the west city, please divide the troops to support immediately!" ”

Wang Yuan nodded, turned around and ordered: "General Qin, you lead 1,500 people to support Nancheng, and the rest of the brothers follow me to Dongcheng!" ”

The 3,000 reinforcements were divided into two routes and rushed to the south and west cities......

At this time, Li Yanqing had already finished the suppression of the palace, except for hundreds of soldiers who fled from the Xuanwu Gate, the rest of the soldiers all surrendered, thousands of palace maids and eunuchs were concentrated in the Ziyang Palace to guard, and dozens of Liao nobles and ministers hiding in the palace were also searched out by the soldiers one by one and imprisoned in the library building.

Li Yanqing walked into the inner warehouse of the palace that was strictly controlled by the army, the inner warehouse includes two parts above ground and underground, covering an area of dozens of acres, Li Yanqing was really shocked, one by one large boxes were piled up, and they had not yet reached the underground warehouse, and the ground warehouse alone was extremely shocking.

The chief of the inner treasury said to Li Yanqing flatteringly: "There are 15 million taels of silver stored here, as well as 800,000 taels of gold and countless treasures, and at least forty percent of the savings of the Liao Kingdom for hundreds of years are here. ”

"Why is the wealth here?"

"The general doesn't know, the Jin soldiers continue to advance, forcing the Liao State to continue to transfer wealth, this is the Liao State Nanjing City, originally from Shangjing, Tokyo and Zhongjing successively transferred more than half of the wealth, and then was taken away by Yelu Yanxi, the rest are here, the remaining wealth of the Liao State is all in this inner treasury."

Li Yanqing nodded, he understood now, this was the fundamental reason why the Jin Kingdom must seize Yanjing City.

At this time, Zhang Yingshen mysteriously ran over and handed a jade box to Li Yanqing, "We found a eunuch hiding in a dry well in the harem, and we found this on him. ”

"What is this?"

"You'll know when you open the system!"

Li Yanqing took this rather heavy jade box, slowly opened it, and there were three jade seals inside, each jade seal has a gold nameplate next to it, which is engraved with Khitan and Han texts, one is the jade seal of the emperor of Yeluchun, the other is the jade seal of the queen mother of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the largest jade seal really surprised and delighted Li Yanqing, it turned out to be the jade seal of the Liao State.

He picked up the jade seal, and on the front were eight big Khitan characters, although he didn't know the Khitan script, but he knew the content of the Khitan jade seal, which should be 'ordered by the heavens, and pass on the country forever'.

Li Yanqing was overjoyed, he thought that the jade seal of the Liao Kingdom was in the hands of Yelu Yanxi, but he didn't expect it to be in Yanjing City, and the Empress Dowager Xiao fled in a hurry and actually left it out.

With this heirloom jade seal, it can completely make up for the regret of Empress Dowager Xiao's escape.
