Chapter 741: Waiting for the End
readx;
The guards in front of him and behind him fell one by one, and Yan Zhan clearly saw the dragon robe worn by Yelu Gollum. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Kill him! There! Kill him! Yan Zhan suddenly became extremely excited at this moment.
Yelu Gollum originally wore armor on the battlefield, but this time he insisted on wearing a dragon robe, because he wanted to use the identity of the emperor of Liao to meet the upcoming end.
A piece of iron sand flew over Jermane's grunting head, knocking the crown off his head, and a long shawl of hair fell, and there was a smell of burnt hair on it.
He became the main target of the Song army's attack here, not only the musketeers under the wall, but also the Song army above the city was not willing to be lonely, Gao Yingxi also saw the dragon robe, he was unwilling to let Yan Zhan snatch this great achievement, and immediately let the defenders at the head of the city also start shooting with bows and crossbows.
Chen Yuan sat on the head of the city and did not stop this phenomenon of grabbing merit. Because in the plan of the Song army, when the Liao people reached a hundred steps in front of the trench, the city would give support to the musketeers below.
Is it 100 steps now? No one said it clearly, as if it was a blurred line, and Gao Yingxi obviously couldn't wait.
The artillery in the city, the bows and crossbows at the head of the city, and the muskets that were constantly firing under the base of the wall constituted a three-dimensional attack, and the casualties of Yelune Gollum were even greater, and the guards around him were completely damaged before he could break through a dozen steps.
On the battlefield, Jerne Gollum didn't favor him because he was the main character or because he was extraordinarily brave, he was able to make it until now because the guards were protecting him with their surnames. When the people around him could no longer form a line of defense, a piece of iron sand finally swooped into the neck of Jermane's gollumy warhorse.
The horse didn't even scream, and suddenly fell to the ground. Gollum was thrown off his horse.
This was a great blow to the morale of the Liao people, and many soldiers who had been following him turned around and ran. The captain of Jermang's own army was very dutiful, and he hurried over, jumped off his horse, and at the same time helped Jermanglu onto his horse: "Hurrah! If you can't rush it, you go first! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a crossbow arrow pierced the back of the captain's heart, and his whole body staggered into Jermane's arms.
Jerynne grunted and hugged his body: "Let's go together!" ”
Another arrow came, and the captain of the pro-soldier spat out a mouthful of blood, and pushed away Yelune's grunt: "The last general can't go......"
A few of the soldiers behind hurriedly came over and helped Yelu Gollum onto the war horse without saying a word, and pulled him back in a hurry. This is how the first round of the Liao people's charge ended, and Yelu Gollu paid tens of thousands of casualties in this face, but he did not even rush through the wall of the Song army.
The sky-high bows and crossbows and endless muskets and shells gave the Liao people a great shock. In this battle, they had no chance to fight the Song army head-on, and firearms could not become the master of the war in this era, but the Song army had opened the door to the era of firearms.
Under certain conditions, especially in the defense of the city, the good use of firearms can completely cause the effect that the bow and crossbow cannot achieve.
The casualties of the Song army were minimal, and only more than thirty soldiers were lost in the entire battle. Chen Yuan was very satisfied with the outcome of the battle, which meant that in the future, far from the Song Dynasty mainland, the Song army could rely on firearms and fortifications to guard some strategic points with a small number of soldiers.
In the future, the Song Dynasty will go further, and it is really important to realize this. The horse master was happy, and naturally rewarded the three armies. It's still time to set up a celebration feast, but it's still necessary to add some food to the soldiers.
The night slowly covered the heavens and the earth, and tonight could not be played again, and Yelune's grunting expression was very sad, and he sat on the ground, and his messy hair was not combed in time.
The bonfire was burning, and the jumping flames jumped up to Jermane's body from time to time, and he didn't seem to feel the pain of the heat on his skin, and his eyes stared blankly at the stars in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Really, he would rather he had been killed by the Song army just now, in which case everything could be over. But now that he is alive, he still has to think about what to do tomorrow, and for a person who does not believe that he has a tomorrow, thinking about tomorrow is a very cruel thing.
"Hooray, just now another general under your command ran away with more than a thousand people!" Fujiwara Kunzaburo walked up to Yelu Gollum and whispered.
There was not the slightest expression on Yelune's face, not even a trace of anger: "Let them go." ”
Kunzaburo Fujiwara stood next to him: "Hooray! Did you really give up? ”
Jerne Gollum suddenly looked up at him, "What do you think I should do?" ”
Fujiwara Kunzaburo sat down in front of him: "The contemptible people think that it is not wise for Banzai to come to the capital this time to hit the capital, you can go, as long as you take the 400,000 army all the way to the north to kill, those Mongols can't stop you at all!" ”
Jerman grunted miserably: "What if you leave? To be the Northern Huns or the Turks? Fujiwara-kun, you should know best what it feels like to be uprooted and lose your home. ”
Fujiwara Kunzaburo nodded: "But I didn't give up, as long as I am alive, I will go to find the last ray of hope." ”
Yelune shook her head slightly, picked up the mare's milk wine beside her, took a sip of it, and didn't speak again. In this regard, he is different from Kunzaburo Fujiwara. This time I came to hit Zhongjing, and the resistance of the original Khitan people along the way made Yelu Gollu very sad. However, he knew that this at least showed that the Song people were good to the Khitans, and the massacre of the revenge surname did not appear.
The Song people did not implement the village protection system like the previous Dongying people, and Yelu Nigur felt a little comforted in his heart. This is also the reason why he did not choose to leave here, since the Song people can give the Khitan people a happy life, then why should he flee with them? Perhaps, he is really an obstacle to the Khitan people being able to live, so let's die.
Fujiwara Kunzaburo obviously understood the meaning of Yelu Ne's grunt, and took a deep breath: "So, please forgive me, and I will take my leave." ”
Jerine looked at him with a grunt, "Where can you go?" ”
Fujiwara's eyes were very firm: "I'm going to Bianjing, I'm going to rescue Emperor Zunhito." ”
A contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of Yelune's mouth, he didn't believe that Fujiwara could do this at all, and he wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, Yelune grunted and swallowed again, and finally just nodded: "Okay, I wish you success." ”
Fujiwara Kunzaburo stood up, bowed to Yelune, and then turned to leave. The short back walked so resolutely that Jerman stared at him with a purr, and only suddenly sighed when he could no longer see.
He couldn't understand that from the beginning of Li Yuanhao to the current self, everyone is not an easy person, why can Chen Shimei take them all down one by one? Chen Shimei! Thinking of this name, Yelune Gollum suddenly felt that Chen Yuan's face was dancing in the bonfire in front of him, and Yelune Gollum suddenly smiled.
A general ran over from the side: "Hurray, it's not good, I found the figure of Song army reinforcements on our flank." ”
"It's coming so fast! Which team is it? ”
"It looks like it's Bai Yutang's troops."
Jerynne grunted, "Got it, this mouse is coming fast. Leave him alone. ”
Bai Yutang is here, then Ren Jun will be fast, these two troops are the closest to Zhongjing, so they are the fastest. Even if they don't come, they won't be able to defeat Zhongjing, and now that they are here, Yelu Neguru is sure that tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, if you are lucky, you can delay it for three days, and the Song army will definitely complete the encirclement of yourself, and then, it should be over.
In fact, there was no point in delaying these three days for him, and he took out a token from his bosom, which was often used by Yelune when he conveyed military orders. He handed the token to the general: "Take this, I will write another letter, you go to General Xiao Bin now, and ask him to follow the instructions on the letter." ”
The general was stunned for a moment, and then said very anxiously: "General, now that we go to raid Baiyutang, maybe we can have unexpected results." ”
Yelune shook his head and said: "It's useless, that mouse is very alert, he won't give us a chance, you go now, don't worry about the things here, tell Xiao Bin, do what I said in the letter." ”
"Yes!"
The Song Dynasty received more and more reinforcements, and soon launched a counter-siege of Yelu Gollu outside the city of Zhongjing. On the contrary, the army on Yelu Gollum's side was decreasing day by day, some people ran directly to the Song army, and some people fled in all directions, and the Song army was very welcoming to those troops who came to surrender, and generally did not pursue the fleeing Khitans.
In just two days, there were less than 50,000 remaining of the 100,000-strong army at the time of the expedition. Many of the tents were empty, and the soldiers who were still with him ran out of food.
In addition to surrounding them, the Song army only launched a few small charges when they occasionally rose.
Yelu Gollum knew that now all the favorable conditions were on Song Jun's side, Chen Shimei was not in a hurry, he could wait slowly, or even wait until he starved to death.
Picking up the water bag in front of her, Jerman grunted her neck and poured it into her mouth, but nothing came out. He angrily threw the water bag on the ground and glanced around, most of the soldiers were also depressed.
And not far from them, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were talking and laughing relaxedly, and some of their comrades who were standing with them a few days ago were arranged by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to be at the forefront and constantly shout, encouraging the people around Yelu Gollum to go over.
Yelu Gollum did not stop this, and even some soldiers who wanted to shoot those who shouted with bows and arrows were stopped by him, he looked at it very openly now, let Chen Shimei play to his heart's content for a while, and he also saw how many people were left around him in the end.
