Yelu Hongji and the generals of the Liao army were furious. The Song people played a psychological offensive on the battlefield. No one knew whether this method was effective, and the terrible thing was the unknown result. Su Jin's eloquence was very good. If anyone
If he keeps chattering like this, there is no guarantee that defections will not happen.
"Come on, sons and daughters, come on, people of the Liao Dynasty, don't be seduced by the Song people. The Queen was killed because she persuaded us to surrender in front of the battle, asking us to surrender and hand our lives into the hands of the Song people. The prince had no choice but to kill him.
He killed the queen, and the prince was reviled by the world for the sake of Liao Gan. This is a decisive decision to kill relatives for justice; kill, kill all the people of Song Dynasty today, I will make a final decision, Your Majesty, and ask for your merits and rewards." Yelu Kanrong did not hesitate to make up lies and put them in the shit basin.
He directly pinned it on the head of the dead Queen Renyi, and at the same time promised various rewards in a hoarse voice to offset the influence of the Song Dynasty.
Yelu Hongji also echoed desperately: "What General Yelu said is the truth. If the queen hadn't betrayed me, how could I have killed my mother? For the sake of the Liao Dynasty, I, Yelu Hongji, was willing to bear the name of matricide. Afterwards, the emperor beheaded me."
I also recognized the head of Daliao, but now our enemy is the Song people in front of us. The Song people are cunning and treacherous. They have united with the Xia Kingdom to provoke us, Daliao, in many ways, so we, Daliao, crusade against them. You must not be fooled by their
Deceived by lies.”
Their words of defense worked, and the soldiers around them quickly recovered. However, it was a pity that the loud shouting had a too small impact compared to the volume of the loudspeaker. Millions of newspaper headlines were published.
Compared with the internal reference newspaper headlines with tens of thousands of circulation, the influence is not comparable, and their voices were quickly drowned out by the sound of the loudspeaker.
"People of the Liao Kingdom, don't come here to die. Look, our airship is ready and will fly over you. I don't want to order burning kerosene bombs to be dropped on you, and I don't want to attack the unarmed people."
When the people take action, we know that your army is threatening you with swords from behind, so we will show you a clear path."
Following Song Jun's words, more than a dozen airships slowly rose in the distant sky. The people who had been bombarded by airships were panicked when they saw this thing, as if they had seen aliens. It was these ghost things.
The bombing continued day and night for several days, almost destroying the entire imperial city. Those dropped burning objects were difficult to extinguish if they touched the body. The common people who had witnessed too many people being burned alive naturally understood this.
The destructive power of several airships.
They actually didn't know that Su Jin had drained all the kerosene barrels to get a pitiful little kerosene, and had to reluctantly let the airship take off here to increase its deterrence; if the airship really wanted to attack, I'm afraid
If it doesn't take enough time to fly to a cup of tea, it will become a weight.
"We will allow you to pass through the checkpoint guarded by our Song Army. You will put down the sticks, knives and forks in your hands, pass along the passage we let go, and go to the Nancheng Square to gather. There will be water and food there. I know that you are hungry, cold and afraid.
Today, as long as you cooperate, I guarantee that none of you will be harmed; the grievances between countries have nothing to do with the people, and I will settle the accounts with the troops led by your prince; but I will tell the ugly story first, I, the Song Army
I don’t kill people, but I am not a pedantic person. If someone wants to take the opportunity to attack, I will issue an attack order without mercy. When the time comes, the sword has no eyes, and you will lose your life. Don’t blame me for not predicting."
Su Jin used both kindness and power to try to break down the defense lines of the Liao people. He even roped in the officials of the Seoul government who had surrendered after occupying Seoul to speak out and try their best to persuade them.
Su Jin didn't know if what he did was effective, but he believed that a person would fight to the death only when there was no way out, and the same was true for the common people. There was a Liao army governor behind him, and retreating would be better than being beheaded.
There are Song troops guarding them in front, and they will be massacred if they advance forward. Under such circumstances, they will naturally choose to fight to the death in order to survive.
Comparing the concept of likes and dislikes and the current numbers and sizes of the two teams, the Song Army seems to be at a disadvantage here. It has more than 100,000 people on its own side and only 80,000 on the other side. It would be foolish not to attack the Song Army's front with all their strength.
The shouts of the Song army stopped, and the Song army on the east side of the street spread out, revealing a narrow alley. People who are familiar with the streets of Seoul know that this alley leads to the south gate.
Square; while the Song troops in other places all showed their weapons, with swords and spears like a forest, and arrows like hemp, all aimed at the people of the Liao Kingdom who were slowly approaching.
This is a psychological game. Everyone is waiting with bated breath for the people's choice. The alley and the North Street are like two roads leading to hell and heaven. No one knows which way.
The choice is correct.
The people of the Liao Kingdom looked puzzled. They didn't know how to make a choice. They hesitated and dragged their feet, hardly looking like they were charging. The soldiers of the Liao Army who were sandwiched among the people waved their whips and yelled and cursed loudly. They kept threatening and threatening.
A school captain noticed the subtlety of the emotion and raised his long sword and shouted loudly: "Whoever dares to be deceived by the Song people will be killed without mercy."
In order to act as a deterrent, he saw an old man walking slowly beside him, as if he was delaying. Without saying a word, he slashed with his knife. The old man's head immediately fell to the ground. The captain added: "Take this as an example.
No mercy."
The people's faces showed hatred, grief and anger. The Song people across the street said they would never kill the people, but the Liao soldiers around them frequently killed people and threatened them. Comparing the two, it was natural for them to prefer whom psychologically. The people could not wait to kill that person.
The school captains tore him alive, but unfortunately no one had the courage to take this step.
The Song army took this step for them. Ma Han bent his bow and nocked an arrow. Eighty steps away, he used his iron-armed bow to blast an iron-headed arrow into the captain's forehead. The captain's head almost fell.
was overturned.
This kicked off the Song army's long-range sniping and killing of the Liao army escort soldiers mixed with the common people. The Liao army soldiers were wearing the most eye-catching armor. Dozens of sharp archers hid in high places and fired cold arrows, killing dozens of them.
name the Liao soldiers in front; after the Liao soldiers realized that they were the targets of the Song army, they were so frightened that they hid in the crowd and did not dare to show their heads; but the common people made a silent choice, and they all spontaneously dodge to the side.
A small piece of open space was revealed to expose the Liao soldiers hiding in it. Although it only lasted a few breaths, it was enough for the Song army's sharp archers to snipe them.
The front row of the team had arrived forty steps away, and the arrows of the Song Army's dark bows could be seen clearly. A red line was drawn on the ground thirty steps away. It was the warning line set up by the Song Army. The people of Liao Kingdom knew that
, as long as you step on the other side of the red line, those poisonous snake-like arrows will rain down on you without hesitation.
Suddenly, a young man threw away the stick in his hand, opened his arms and ran towards the alley with a shout; just like the leader of a flock of sheep, once confused and circled, as long as one person makes a choice, the others will
They chose to follow without any conditions. The people shouted and followed the young man's footsteps towards the entrance of the alley. The soldiers accompanying him yelled and cursed to stop him. However, they could not stop the torrent of people, but a few waved their swords.
The soldier who was about to chop him down was kicked to the ground secretly, and was trampled by countless feet in an instant, turning him into a pulp alive.
Su Jin stood on a high place behind the entrance of the alley and let out a long sigh of relief. The danger was finally averted. These nearly 100,000 strong men were like the floods of the Yellow River. Blocking was absolutely impossible, but channeling was the right way. How important is ideological work?
, the people are not stupid and stubborn, they have their own bottom line in the face of life and death issues and the simple view of right and wrong; of course, all this is also thanks to Yelu Hongji's heroic character. If he hadn't killed his mother and killed his younger siblings, how could he have done it?
It triggers the despair in the hearts of the people. At this time, you stand up and give hope. As long as you are a normal person, you will have a normal reaction.
"Run slower, don't step on yourself and hurt yourself." Su Jin shouted loudly, but the effect was average. The crowd still entered the alley like crazy to get away from the battlefield behind them. The excitement of escaping from death made them weak from hunger and cold.
Infinite power erupted from the body, and the soldiers from the Liao army who were among them were dragged forward involuntarily. They immediately took off their armor and threw away their weapons and quickly became members of the common people. It must be said that this is a group of smart human beings.
Yelu Hongji fell down on the bluestone steps at the rear, his face turning blue as he watched the soldiers try in vain to stop the people from fleeing.
Yelu Kanrong rushed over, with a frustrated look on his face, and gasped: "Your Highness, the situation is not good. The general recommends that you evacuate immediately. After the people flee, the Song army will definitely choose to attack. We are not opponents."
Yelu Hongji murmured: "How could this happen? Aren't they all my subjects of Daliao? Aren't they all my Khitan people? How can they surrender to their mortal enemy?"
Yelu Kanrong sighed secretly and thought to himself: You didn't force them to do this. They are Khitan people, but do you think they are human beings?
"Retreat, retreat quickly." Yelu Hongji suddenly jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "Retreat to the imperial city and close the gate."
The fleeing people were not only limited to sneaking into the alleys, but all the dozen or so street entrances leading to the north wall had been opened by the Song army. There was a long dragon crawling in at every street entrance, and it took less than a meal.
, nearly 100,000 people fled the battlefield, and the open space created by the demolition of large buildings in Beicheng suddenly seemed lonely and empty, and the Liao army's rapid retreat towards the covered bridge also came into view.
The horn sounded, and the Song Army launched a massive attack. They caught some of the Liao Army's tail and rushed to the gate. The Liao Army had to close the gate in advance and sold tens of thousands of soldiers to the Song Army. The Song Army was not polite and took them all.
, in a short period of time, these ten thousand Liao troops, who had lost all their morale, were completely wiped out.
