Chapter 868: Yelu Chongyuan rebelled
The order came down, saying that without Yeluhongji's order, the outer city was not allowed to open, and no one could leave without an order, which made him feel a little wrong.
As soon as possible, he sent his cronies to the inner city to report the matter to Xiao Hui.
Xiao Hui is also a smart person, as soon as he got the information, he sensed that something was wrong, so he went to the Qin Wangfu as soon as possible.
At this time, it was already completely dark, and it was only a little more than an hour before the original scheduled start time.
When Xiao Hui arrived and brought the news, Yelu Chongyuan knew that his rebellion was exposed. Although he didn't know who leaked the news, what he knew was that Yelu Hongji must have known what he was going to do next.
He doesn't do it now, just waiting to catch solid evidence.
"Okay, okay, this little boy has grown up, his wings are stiff, and he is so calm. It's just that in this way, it's impossible for you to catch Uncle Huang."
Yelu Chongyuan is also a person who is very resolute in his work, and he decided to leave the city now.
No matter how you say that Yelu Hongji is orthodox, it is better to say that the other party is defenseless, even if he is prepared, what he wants to do, basically there is no possibility of success. That is, now is not the time to go.
As long as he can successfully escape from Shangjing, once he goes to Zhongjing, he can rely on the Sun family to regain momentum, and at that time, he may not be able to bring troops back to Shangjing and become the real emperor.
Yelu Chongyuan planned to leave, but Xiao Hui, who heard it, was a little reluctant.
Many of his assets are in the city, don't talk about it, just say that there is a lot of grain in the warehouse, and if you leave in such a hurry, you can't take anything with you.
"Okay, don't think about your money now, leave the green mountains here, what will there be? After the big deal, after this king kills and returns to the capital, he will make up for it all for you." Seeing that Xiao Hui was still hesitating, Yelu Chongyuan couldn't make some promises. After all, if you want to leave Shangjing, you still need the help of the other party.
"This, okay." Xiao Hui let out a reluctant sigh, and then everyone began to prepare, except for some easy-to-take soft ones, everything else remained. An hour later, everyone was escorted by the Qin Wangfu's own soldiers to kill outside the city.
In order to succeed in going out of the city, Yelu Chongyuan personally took command and played the banner of Qin as early as possible. When we came to the inner gates, they were already closed.
"Who's here? It is nightfall, and no one is allowed to go out of the city." The Liao soldiers defending the city saw that a team was coming in the dark, and there were still more than twenty steps away, so they began to shout loudly.
"Blind thy dog's eyes, and behold no one who this king is. Now open the gates, this king has an important military to do, and whoever delays it will cut off his head." Yelu Chongyuan pretended to be a fierce and vicious appearance, and rode a horse to the front and spoke.
The person who came turned out to be the King of Qin, and after the Liao soldiers guarding the city saw the real person, there was really nothing to stop.
It is said that among the current royal family, Yelu Chongyuan is one of the few people who has led troops to the battlefield to fight and killed people. Otherwise, he would not have won the name of King Qin.
Since it was King Qin who personally led the team, the Liao soldiers guarding the city naturally did not dare to stop it. Only one young general, considering the order from above, stepped forward with some trepidation and explained, "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, it's not that the little ones don't open the city gate, it's really that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an edict that no one will go out of the city tonight without an order."
"Fart, do you only have the prince in your eyes, not the king?" Yelu Hongji felt a lot of work in his heart, and confirmed the reliability of Xiao Hui's news. But his face still pretended to be very angry, followed by a glaring of his eyes, and with a wave of the big knife in his hand, he slashed at the head of the Liao soldier who was blocking the way.
No one thought that King Qin would do it when he said that he would do it, the blade flashed, and a big head fell to the ground, and then everyone stopped squeaking.
The example of dying in the way is right in front of you, so who will dare to stop it next?
Without saying a word, a Liao soldier immediately opened the inner city gate, followed Yelu Hongji and a group of people out of the inner city, and went straight to the outer city.
What happened here, someone immediately reported it up,
It's just a pity that when he entered the East Palace, it was already a quarter of an hour later, and when he learned that the Nine Emperor Uncles had already left the inner city, Yelu Hongji was naturally angry.
"Quick, inform General Yelu Qingde in the outer city, let him personally defend the city, if the King of Qin wants to break into the city, kill!"
Yelu Hongji said angrily, and then said, "Send an order to General Jin Mugen, so that he doesn't have to wait, and take down Xiao Gui, a traitor, first."
Yelu Hongji, who had already lost his first move, decided not to wait.
Soon, Jin Mugen, who got the order, took action, and when he came to Xiao Gui's place with a group of palace guards, he saw the scene of his deputy gathering people.
It's almost time, what is he doing with all of a sudden gathering of these people?
The meaning of his rebellion can be said to be obvious, even if it is so, where will Jin Mugen be polite, and after a shout, he led people forward and rushed to kill him.
Xiao Gui didn't expect that what he was going to do would be revealed.
Of course, he would never have thought that at this time, his master Yelu Chongyuan had abandoned him. Now he can only resist desperately, and for a while there were bursts of shouts and killings in the palace, and then there was a river of blood, and human life was like a mustard.
Half an hour later, the battle was over.
In the end, Jin Mugen led more troops to victory.
Xiao Gui was killed on the spot, and even the hundreds of palace guards he organized were all killed.
Good news came from Jin Mugen over there, but then bad news came back from the outer city. Yelu Qingde, the general of the outer city, actually left the capital with Yelu Hongji, and when he left, he also took with him 5,000 cavalry of the Liao army.
"Yelu Qingde, you have mistaken this king's important matter." After getting the news, Yelu Hongji was naturally angry. The only thing that can be done is to send troops to hunt down the King of Qin, hoping to stop the other party's road to Zhongjing.
......
Anju City.
In the rebellion in the capital, Master Mu Huan didn't know, and he wouldn't care.
What he was thinking about now was how to defend the city while inflicting heavy losses on the Liao army besieging the city.
Early this morning, a lot of banners of the Liao army appeared under the city of Anzhou, followed by a large number of Liao troops appeared under the city, and there were cavalry and infantry.
The Liao army reinforcements finally came, and it seemed that they were bound to recapture the city of Anzhou.
More than 100,000 Liao soldiers appeared under the city, more than twice as many as the dragon army defending the city, but the dragon army on the city tower did not show the slightest sense of panic.
Especially as the first echelon of the peasant soldiers who defended the city, they all wanted to make meritorious contributions, seeing that so many comrades, they were originally Koreans, but now the word "help" on their heads has been removed, and many people have become peasant soldiers, or even auxiliary soldiers, and they can enjoy higher treatment.
When they return home, they will be seen as heroes, and they will all be moved and want to be like that.
Winning battles and killing enemies is the best manifestation of meritorious service.
These people who were originally destined to be cheap now have a chance to fight for their lives, and everyone will try to seize it, and no one is willing to back down. Under such a mentality, although the Liao soldiers under the city were crowded and they couldn't count them for a while, they didn't have any fear of it.
It's all about carrying a head on your shoulder, and you can kill it.
They also have the advantage of defending the city, so why should they be afraid.
Besides, there are still so many regular army dragons waiting to support them on the side of the battlements, so what is there to fear?
Everyone has a fearless look, this is the military spirit, this is the fighting spirit, and this is also the invincible army.
Under the city tower, Shen Yong arrived with 100,000 Liao troops, looked up at Anzhou City, which was fortified and high, and shook his head lightly. He really couldn't understand how such a fortified city could be lost in a few hours.
Should it be said that the dragon army is too fierce? Or are Xiao Yuan and Yi Yangxian too wasteful?
But it's the incompetence of these people that gives them a chance, doesn't it?
Even if he came, then this time he would give Long Jun a good look, and let the others also
Knowing, his Shen Yong's command ability also let the Long Army know the true strength of their Liao army.
"Everyone, line up, call all the generals over, and bring all the siege weapons with you." Constantly giving orders, Shen Yong's face was already showing extreme excitement.
Under the command of Shen Yong, half an hour later, the first batch of 5,000 Liao troops besieging the city came to the north gate.
Shen Yong also sent people to several other city gates, but the number was only two thousand, and those people mainly played a role in containment, and he put the direction of the real attack at the north city gate.
Five thousand Liao troops stood neatly under the north gate of Anzhou, holding shields, ladders, spears and other things in their hands.
Shen Yong was very optimistic about this group of first rushing teams, and personally came to the front of the battle to mobilize, making it clear that as long as they could attack the city tower and enter Anzhou City, everyone would make great contributions and give heavy rewards.
The 5,000 Liao troops were also stimulated by the benefits given by Shen Yong, and then the drums of the charge sounded, and the siege officially began.
Compared with the Liao army preparing under the city tower, above the city tower, the two thousand assistant peasant soldiers did not move to rest against the battlements.
The big battle is about to begin, so save enough stamina to kill more enemies.
Although the two thousand peasant soldiers closed their eyes and leaned against the battlements, in fact, none of them could really sleep. They may be nervous, excited, or apprehensive.
But whether they were afraid or not, these two thousand people, none of them had to retreat. They all know that this is an opportunity for them to make meritorious contributions and fight for a better future.
Opportunity is called an opportunity because it doesn't come up often, and now it's all they have to do to seize it.
