Chapter 905: Rushing Out (Plus Change)
Yelu Chongyuan was originally full of hope, but after hearing the words of the envoy, the whole person's mouth widened, and there was no problem with enough to stuff an egg in that way.
I was really surprised.
But the surprise was not that the dragon army had been blocked for eight to ten days, but that the dragon army had chased after it so quickly, and it seemed that it was not only about dealing with itself, but also preparing to enter the grassland and enter the Mongolian land this time.
The size of Montenegro and the breadth of the region can be said to connect all places.
Since ancient times, anyone with common sense knows that you can defeat the Mongols, but it is simply impossible to truly conquer them.
It's like Huo Qu's illness back then, all of them have been sealed as wolves, and they have all been beaten to the depths of the Mongolian people, but so what?
After his death, wasn't the Mongols still a great scourge for the Han people, and had been the case for many years?
When their Liao State was once strong, they also thought about completely conquering Yumeng, and sent a large army to defeat the Mongols. But the end result is to make the other party superficially surrender to themselves, and they only receive a little tribute every year, which is already very satisfying for them.
I know all these truths, can someone as smart as Su Shi not know?
Yelu Chongyuan couldn't figure it out, what is this Su Shi going to do? It's just to destroy himself, and it's obviously unreasonable to mobilize the people like this, does he want to take advantage of the time when the army is in full swing to completely enter Montigo and occupy this place?
Thinking of this, Yelu Chongyuan became happy.
He knew that Su Shi was very strong, and he also knew that the Dragon Army was very powerful and had strong combat effectiveness. But he still didn't think that the other party had the strength to destroy the entire Mongolian people. That is the case, the other party is coming with an army at this time, isn't this a good opportunity to weaken the dragon army?
As long as the dragon army is left in Monti and its strength is constantly weakened, that is when his opportunity comes.
Once the dragon army suffers a setback here and is defeated, it will be the time to wave its army back to Liaodi, isn't it?
Yelu Chongyuan is definitely a person who is good at seizing the opportunity, otherwise there would be no such thing as his establishment of the Khitan State. And now, with the opportunity in front of him, how could he not seize it?
"Okay, I promise you, but you also have to promise to let our Khitan army enter Mongolia, and this time, I can only bring 30,000 soldiers to guard this place to stop the Dragon Army, and the other 20,000 troops will protect the magnates of my Khitan country."
Yelu Chongyuan decided to agree, but before that, he still needed to make his own reasonable requests. He can stay and fight the dragon army, but the seeds of their Khitan kingdom must be kept.
The envoy just wanted Yelu Chongyuan to lead the army to block the dragon army for a while, to buy time for the arrival of their army. And as long as this goal is achieved, other things are not called a problem at all.
"Yes, now you can arrange for someone to leave with the envoy."
The envoy agreed, Yelu Chongyuan was not polite, so it was arranged, and for the sake of safety, he himself decided to leave with 20,000 Khitan soldiers and more than 30,000 magnates, Yelu Qingde was left behind, leading 30,000 soldiers and horses in the same place and waiting for the arrival of the dragon army to stop them.
"General Qingde, as long as you complete this task this time, you will be the great general of my Khitan Kingdom in the future, the eternal general, and I can swear here." In order to cheer up Yelu Qingde, Yelu Chongyuan said with a sworn look, and raised his right arm.
How could the Dragon Army be so easy to deal with?
If it is easy to deal with, there will be no defeat of their three-nation alliance.
But now, Yelu Chongyuan has said so, Yelu Qingde has no choice, he believes that if he doesn't agree, the next moment, he will be killed here.
Thinking that it was just a block, not a hard fight, and maybe there was still a chance to do so, Yelu Qingde had no choice but to take the errand.
Yelu Qingde was left behind, along with 30,000 Khitan troops. Then Yelu Chongyuan and the envoy left together and rushed straight to the direction of Niuqi Town in the north.
It was only three hours after these people left, and the vanguard of the dragon army was already there
Appeared outside of Kaqi Town.
Wang Cai, who had become the commander of the First Division of the First People's Army, laughed out loud when he heard the news from the scouts that there were 30,000 Khitan troops in the town and that they were already making defensive preparations.
"The grasshopper shakes the tree, but it is not enough. Come on, first completely surround this place, and wait until the chariot arrives and destroy this place directly."
Because of the road, this time the speed of the tank slowed down, and this is why the first division is the vanguard.
But it doesn't matter, this so-called slowness is only an hour of slowness. That is, two hours later, the artillery arrived, and with them came the main force of the First Army, and even Su Shi with the guard regiment and the black cavalry regiment also rushed over.
Whether it's the guard regiment or the black cavalry, this expansion has nothing to do with them.
It's not that Su Shi doesn't pay attention to them, on the contrary, it is precisely because of the importance that the army has not been expanded, and that is because Su Shi wants to ensure their strong combat effectiveness, so he has not forcibly expanded the army.
When the chariot arrived, the artillerymen pushed out the towing dragon cannon and aimed it in the direction of Kaqi Town.
"Tell the soldiers that they don't have to be stingy with cannonballs, and completely destroy this place, and we will rebuild the city here in return, and it will be even taller and more majestic at that time." Su Shi was surrounded by the guards and soldiers, and said such a thing.
It's just a town, and in the eyes of others, it's a pity to destroy it, but in Su Shi's eyes, it's nothing at all.
Destroying it early and rebuilding it early is just a matter of taking out some faith points. The current Su Shi occupies a wide area and has a large number of people, and the belief point can no longer become a shackle for him to move forward.
Su Shi made up his mind, where would the soldiers below be polite, and one by one the dragon cannons were aimed at the town.
Outside the town, all the generals of the First People's Army were in full array, just waiting for the enemy to run out of here, just waiting to catch more prisoners.
In the town, after the previous lesson, Yelu Qingde had a long memory and sent people to dig a lot of deep ditches.
He knew that the kind of chariot of the Dragon Army was very powerful, and it was not possible for manpower to resist, and once they were allowed to get close, the kind of big firecrackers thrown from the cart could cause a lot of damage to them.
Even so, then the chariots must not be allowed to get close, and with these large pits, they can be stopped. When the time comes, it will be no problem for him to stay in the town for seven or eight days. As soon as the time comes, the Mongolian cavalry reinforcements will arrive, and when the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined, and there may not be no chance of victory.
Ignorance is the most terrible of all.
He didn't know the power of the dragon cannon at all, but Yelu Qingxin, who had only seen the dragon thunder, didn't know that this time the dragon army had no intention of rushing into the town at all. They were originally playing with long-range bombardment.
When hundreds of dragon cannons were ready, with the order of the artillery division commander Long Yuntian, a hundred cannons rang out at the moment, and then the entire Kaqi Town fell into a burst of collapse.
People shouting, horses neighing, cries come and go...
Under the huge power of the dragon cannon, the whole town is like hell, and there are very tragic scenes everywhere.
"What's going on? Did the dragon army rush in?"
When he saw the constant noise around him, the war horse had already refused to listen to the call due to fright, and from time to time he could see that the nearby houses had collapsed one after another, Yelu Qingde said with a pale face.
"General, the dragon army didn't rush in, but they have weapons that can blow us up from a distance, like catapults, no! It's far more powerful than a catapult, and the attack range is farther!" The deputy general, Yelu Qingxin, returned to Yelu Qingde's side and roared loudly.
It's really not okay not to be loud, otherwise, what you say, the people around you won't be able to hear it at all.
"What? If we have such weapons, then we..."
Yelu Qingde didn't say the next words, but the meaning was already quite clear, that is, the dragon army had such weapons, wouldn't they be waiting for death if they stayed in the town?
Yelu Qingxin obviously understood the meaning of these words, and continued to speak, "General, the only way to do this is now
We can't stay here any longer, so it's better to rush out quickly. If we tell Your Majesty and the Mongolian people what happened here, they will understand us." Look at the book
He didn't understand Yelu Qingxin or not, but what he understood was that if he continued to stay, he would really be waiting for death.
Yelu Qingde is not stupid, obviously he also knows this truth, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty will understand us, and the Mongolian people also understand this truth, so let's organize it immediately, and we will rush out, rush out."
No one wants to die unexplained, let alone Yelu Qingde, who has become a general.
After receiving the order, Yelu Qingxin immediately organized a cavalry team of 2,000 people, and then looked at the northwest direction behind him, and rushed out of the town.
The sound of artillery continued, and from time to time there were second-generation dragon bullets that would fall on the side of this team, and some of the unlucky Khitan cavalry were injured and fell off their horses, and some lost their square inches because of the frightened horses and fell to the ground.
Even Yelu Qingde's horses almost rushed out several times because of fear, if they hadn't been surrounded in the middle, I am afraid that they would not even have a chance to rush out.
The 2,000 Khitan cavalry were still elite cavalry, and when they really rushed out from the north, there were nearly 500 fewer cavalry. Looking at this result, Yelu Qingde wanted to cry without tears, but what made him even more desperate was that when he was finally ready, he would not easily rush out of the town, but what he saw was the soldiers of the First People's Army who had been waiting for work outside for a long time.
