Chapter 476: Decline again, exhaustion in three
Xiao Hujian, who was beside Yelu Chongyuan, rode a tall horse, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you rush to the palace?" ā
Yelu Chongyuan said: "I have ordered Xiao Ge, the prime minister of the Northern Mansion, to lead his troops to attack the palace gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe palace gate has been broken before, and I think it's just a matter of plugging it with some wood. As long as the offensive is maintained, the Luanhe Palace has entered the grain. ā
Xiao Huzhen said: "Your Majesty, relying only on the prime minister of Beifu alone, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it." Why don't you send the king of the southern courtyard and the king of the northern courtyard to fight together, so as to achieve complete success? ā
Yelu Chongyuan thought about it, and this is also the truth. They are now unsuccessful and benevolent, they have all come to this point, and they still have something to do! Yelu Chongyuan immediately said: "Okay, let them go together!" ā
As soon as the words fell, Yelu Chongyuan caught a glimpse of the Luanhe Xinggong City Tower, and a person he least wanted to see appeared, Yelu Renxian. I saw him shouting loudly: "I am the privy envoy of the Southern Court, and all the palace tent troops have listened to my orders and gathered in front of the palace gate!" ā
The soldiers beside him also shouted, with the backbone of the heart, the palace tent army was immediately different, and they rushed to the Luanhe Palace, even if the rebels behind bit fiercely, they also retreated in front of the palace gate without hesitation. The arrows on both sides continued to fly wildly, and from time to time someone fell off their horses and was trampled into flesh. In the light of the fire, Yelu Chongyuan Tie blushed, gritted his teeth and said: "All of them will rush up to me, capture Yelu Hongji alive, reward 10,000 taels of gold, and tear the earth to seal the king!" ā
Under the heavy reward, the rebels fought bravely one by one. Yelu Tzu also watched the palace tent soldiers being killed by random arrows one by one, and was so disgusted that he was dumbfounded: "Father, please allow me to fight!" ā
Yelu Renxian shook his head calmly and said, "No, the Han people have a book called "Zuo Chuan", which has a story about Lu Zhuanggong resisting the attack of Qi State, and a man named Cao Di commanded the army. He said that after one blow, then decline, and three exhaustions, then the Qi State was really defeated. In the same way, don't look at the menacing rebels, in fact, they are just the end of the crossbow. If you look at the number of torches, it's only a few tens of thousands. We have 100,000 palace tent troops, and more than 30,000 royal tent horses, so why are we afraid of the rebels? The reason why the rebels rushed to the palace in a decisive battle was because they knew that once the momentum weakened, they would be defeated. In my opinion, they will not be able to sustain such a fierce attack, and when they are discouraged, we will strike again, and we will be able to achieve success in one fell swoop. Now I order you to go down to the palace gate, so that the sons and daughters will form a formation with the palace gate on their backs, and they will not go to battle without my order! ā
Yelu Tzu also knew that he was far inferior to his father when he expected the enemy to come first, so he immediately obeyed the order. After all, the palace tent army is the elite of the Liao State, and once the dragons have a leader, it will not be something that the rebels can match. I saw that Yelu Tart also carried out the military order well, and ordered the soldiers of the Liao State to surround the palace gate and unite in formation. A shield made of thick wood covered with cowhide to ward off stray arrows. Regardless of the onslaught of the rebels, they cannot move forward.
At this moment, the royal tent rider who got out of the predicament finally lifted his spirits, but the horsepower had already consumed a lot, and he couldn't raise the speed for a while. The "Kidnapping Horse" is like this, although it looks majestic in full armor, but in fact, it consumes a lot of horsepower, and if it can't exert its maximum combat power in a short sprint, it can only be used as a meat shield in front. This is the disadvantage of heavy cavalry, a Khitan has weighed more than 100 catties, plus the whole body armor, weapons, and the armor on the horse, it is more than 300 catties.
It would be good if the royal tent himself rode a Mongolian horse, although the charging speed was slightly inferior, the load capacity was large, and the durability was good. It's a pity that in order to maximize the speed, the royal tent himself rode the "Tianma", which was later called the Ili horse, which was tall and handsome, and the endurance was okay, but the load was average. That's why the royal tent has two horses. It's just that in the midst of the chaos, the royal tent riders can find the stables and bring out a horse, which is already well-trained.
However, by mistake, the royal tent rode into a moving steel shield, and the armor was so well made that the rebels' arrows could not penetrate it. If you are unlucky, you will be shot into the gap in the armor and you will be painted.
Seeing this, Yelu Chongyuan hurriedly asked, "Privy envoy, what should I do at this time?" ā
Xiao Hujian is also a military idiot, although he pretends to be a privy envoy. Seeing that the offensive was blocked, he panicked for a while: "Your Majesty, since the palace gate can't be attacked, why don't you try to enter through the palace wall?" ā
Yelu Chongyuan was reminded by him, slapped his thigh and said, "That's right! ā
But soon he was stunned again: "The palace wall is three zhang high, and there is no ladder, how can I go up?" ā
This time it was Xiao Hu's turn to be dumbfounded, and he was speechless.
At this moment, Yeluren first saw that the palace tent army seemed to have relieved his breath, and knew that the opportunity could not be lost, so he hurriedly issued a military order: "Pass my military order, and the whole army will counterattack!" ā
Yelu tart did not wait for this for a long time, he hid under a cowhide shield, and after a long time, he was finally ready to go on the expedition, and just stood up and said: "Sons, come with me......" Before the words fell, a cold arrow suddenly shot, and in the dark, even Yelu tart did not find it. By the time he realized it, the cold arrow was already in his chest. Fortunately, Yelu Tart was not slow to react, and as soon as he turned around, he made a soft "poof" sound, and he was still hit by an arrow.
Jeredron was in the dark, not noticing that his son was wounded. In the shadow of the sword and spear, the sound of killing shook the sky. The light of the torch flickered on and off. Yeluren first focused all his attention on the battle situation, where did he take care of the movements under the palace gate?
Seeing that his father was directing the battle, Yelu Tart, who had been hit by an arrow in his left shoulder socket, was also ruthless, and he broke the arrow shaft with his right hand, and shouted: "Rush me!" ā
Xiao Yuanlan, who was originally in the palace gate, saw Yelu Tart so brave in the firelight, and he also had the heart to protect him. When he saw that Yelu Tart had also stepped on the war horse, he hurriedly took a war horse and rushed out with him.
This time period happened to be the node when the morale of the rebels was declining and the follow-up was weak. As a result, the rebels who attacked with all their strength and didn't think about defending were suddenly scattered and the middle door was wide open.
Yelu Chongyuan was shocked: "Hurry up...... Stop them! ā
Among the rebels, there are also brave men. Yelu Chongyuan operated in the northeast region for many years, and gathered many strong generals and strong soldiers of the Murwei (the ancestors of the Mongols). These Murowei people, all of them are loyal, and as long as they give enough gold and silver treasures, they will never betray.
At this moment, Yelu Chongyuan ordered, and the most elite of these rebels, the Murwei tribe, shouted words that the Khitans could not understand, carried bows and arrows, and rushed out on horseback. Their tactics are peculiar, first shooting with their horse bows from a distance, and then pulling away, riding and shooting as they run.
In fact, this kind of tactics has no technical content. Speaking of horse archery, the Khitans are not inferior, as soon as they see these people so "obscene", they immediately return the color. The two sides shot at each other, and it was not until they were about to retreat in front of the Yelu Chongyuan Zhongjun that these Murowei people screamed, drew their sabers and rushed back reflexively.
