Chapter 355 We are waiting to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty flee first
Three consecutive waves of raw cannon fodder made Ta Buye and his soldiers almost desperate.
After Tabuye ordered the gold juice to be poured down, he had lost all means of defending the city and could only rely on the walls of the capital to resist the Jurchen Tatars.
Wanyan's mother gave an order, and the Jurchen Tatars went into battle in person. They first shot down the Khitan students under the city with a hail of arrows, and then started to attack the city using the ladders and platoons of cars they had brought with their lives.
The bows and arrows of the defenders on the city did not have the penetrating power when shooting at ragged raw people. Many of the exhausted defenders shot soft bows and arrows, hitting the thick animal skin armor of the Jurchen Tatars, which was not effective at all. It won't help.
The Jurchen Tatars all carried big ropes with them. After tying them, a few people worked together and pulled out the Luzhai that was inserted into the frozen soil to block the siege troops and horses. I don't know how much faster it is.
Push away those rows of broken cars, push the piles of corpses down the ditch, and fill the road more densely.
The Jurchen soldiers continued to advance to the bottom of the city, and the Jurchen heavy cavalry behind them cheered, as if the city outside Beijing was about to succumb to the might of the Jurchen army!
In fact, unlike in movies and TV shows, sieges often involve soldiers and horses advancing to the city to fight hand-to-hand. A real siege battle must involve repeated battles in the peripheral defense system, even if the mobile forces in the city are gradually exhausted.
Only the defenders who are frightened, or whose strength is too different, will be beaten in the city.
For example, in the most famous battle of defending the city of Xiangfan, the Mongols fought in the dangerous areas outside Xiangfan for several years, even though the back was surrounded by a moat nearly 200 meters wide. Xiangyang City was almost the strongest in the world. The defenders of the Southern Song Dynasty He will not easily retreat to the city to defend it.
The Khitans in the capital city had 200,000 soldiers and horses, as well as private soldiers from various families, which were no less than the Jurchen Tatars outside the city. There was no reason to cower and take beatings.
If no one comes forward, the bottom line will be handed over to others. The same goes for Ta Buye. He was covered in blood and shouted at the top of his voice: "Damn, after guarding for so long, why don't the soldiers and horses in the city come? If we don't put the troops outside the city, If we pile up a lot of deer forts, are we going to let the Tatars ride on our faces and beat them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier came outside and shouted in a hissing voice: "It's not good, Commander-in-Chief. Your Majesty, he took the Prime Minister and the concubines and fled out of the city."
With a bang, the weapon that had not been lost after fighting for a day fell on the top of the city, and Ta Buye's face turned gray.
His lieutenant came forward, grabbed the soldier by the collar, and asked, "What about the reserve army in the city?"
"The soldiers and horses in the city were mobilized to escort His Majesty and the others, and they escaped together."
"The Thief Emperor, sell us out!" the lieutenant shouted loudly. This treasonous remark did not attract any refutation at all.
These desperate soldiers originally thought that there would be no worse news in the world, but then they heard even more desperate news.
People like myself have obviously become abandoned, and our lives have become a bargaining chip to buy them time.
A group of soldiers gathered around and looked at Ta Buye with cold eyes.
Ta Buye felt a chill on his back. He turned around and looked around. He spat blood-stained saliva and said loudly: "You bunch of bird warriors, look at what I do. It's not like I abandoned you and ran away. Don't think that I I don’t know what you’re thinking. Isn’t it just surrender? Tell me, I’m not going to surrender to Emperor Aguda. I want to help the Kingdom of Jin and cut off the two heads of Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Fengxian.”
Before the Jurchens could attack the city, a surrender call came from the city tower, and Wanyan's mother was also stunned.
I saw the gates of the outer city of Shangjing slowly opening, and the defenders on the city also put down their weapons.
Since the Jurchens launched their army to conquer the Liao Dynasty, although they have won countless battles, the Jurchen Tatars still feel unrealistic in being able to capture the outer city of Shangjing so easily.
They still cannot understand that sometimes the opponent's stupidity is more important than their own bravery and skill in fighting, and can also determine the outcome of the war.
In any case, the Jurchens won again, and their victory was still incredible.
After a fierce offensive and defensive battle, only 40,000 to 50,000 Khitan civilians died, and some of the city's bows, crossbows, arrows and defense equipment were consumed——
Gao Bing and other five envoys from the Song Dynasty, together with nearly a hundred people from the Song envoys, mingled with the army and fled to Datong Mansion in Xijing with Yelu Yanxi.
Countless Khitan people along the way looked at them with numb expressions. These nobles and royal families they supported had abandoned all the people in the east.
Datong Mansion in Xijing is a rare fortified city in the world. It is another dangerous barrier built by the Han people.
They can stop the Jurchen Tatars there, but people like themselves will soon become slaves of the subjugated country.
Some wealthy Khitan nobles and their families also fled with the large army, while more people chose to stay.
He was carrying a big sword with a high handle, standing on the carriage, looking majestic and capable of fighting.
Yelu Yanxi saw it from a distance and asked, "Which general is that?"
"It's Gao Bing, the envoy of Song Dynasty." The chamberlain beside him replied.
Yelu Yanxi secretly thought that if this person is still so majestic at this time, he must be confident and not panicked at all. He must be a real person. "Let him come to my carriage so that we can take care of each other if anything happens."
Gao Bing doesn't feel like his country is ruined and his family is ruined. He enjoys his current state very much. In the past, he always felt that he was a playboy, good for nothing except eating, drinking and having fun.
It's different now. Almost every day, he made a huge contribution to the Song Dynasty, which made Gao Yanei's heart very full.
Qin Hui didn't feel this way. In this non-stop carriage, he almost fell apart. When he looked up at the high-handled slut, Qin Hui cursed angrily: "High school senior, aren't you tired?"
"Tired, oops, my waist is so sore."
Qin Hui smiled and said, "You deserve it, I'll let you see me."
Just as Gao Bing was about to sit down and have a rest, the emperor's ministers came over: "General Gao, our Majesty invites you to ride in the same car."
The other four Song envoys looked at each other with strange expressions.
Gao Bing had no choice but to cheer up, get off the carriage and rush to Yelu Yanxi's luxurious carriage. Before leaving, he did not forget to wink with Qin Hui and others, looking very proud.
Yu Wenxu gave a bitter smile and said: "I finally understand why the Khitan fell. Our Majesty, the Lord of Liao, really doesn't have much vision."
Ma Kuo's face was not as relaxed as theirs. He breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "The Jurchen Tatars will soon capture Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing. In addition to the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo they have already captured, the next step is probably the Khitan tax center, our Youyan."
The place is Xijin Prefecture in Nanjing, the Khitan."
"Next, the opponents of these brutal and fierce Tatars may be us."
