At the top of Datong City, Yao Pingzhong finally fell to the ground and rested for a long time. When he got up again, he felt something was wrong.
An uneasy feeling lingered in his heart, making him quite irritable.
Are you tired of it? Yao Pingzhong smiled and shook his head. He couldn't think about the war anymore.
The Jurchens desperately attacked the city. Now that the servant army was almost done fighting, the main force began to participate in the battle below the city.
The garrison materials in the city were already stretched thin. Yao Pingzhong made a plan, calculated on his fingers, and saved some money to persist for ten days until the end of the month, when reinforcements should arrive.
I have already written a letter asking for help. The imperial court will not let people like myself be trapped in Datong. Today's soldiers are very valuable.
Another round of attacks was repelled, and the soldiers of Song Dynasty were busy seizing the little time before the Jurchen's next attack, and quickly replenished the rolling stones and wood, as much as they could.
Suddenly, Yao Pingzhong's hair stood on end and said: "Where are the Liao soldiers!"
He found the reason for his uneasiness. In the past, the number of Liao soldiers under the city repairing and waiting for rotation had decreased a lot.
Normally when a war is so urgent, it would be difficult for the generals to notice the difference. After all, it is still covered by night.
But the famous general has a keen sense of smell, and Yao Pingzhong still saw something was wrong. Unfortunately,
Haishi has arrived!
Xiao Yixue's eyes were closed tightly at the west gate, holding a spear. He had numerous internal and external injuries on his body. The thick willow leaf armor, coupled with a layer of soft armor inside, was already in tatters.
"Open the city gate!"
His subordinates have known this outcome for a long time. The more than a thousand of them are the last barrier for the Liao bloodline to retreat.
How much more blood will the Khitans shed on the land of Yunnei? These one thousand people are the final answer.
Xiao Yixue's whole family was taken away, as were the children of these one thousand people.
The Liao soldiers were all silent, raising their heads and looking at the slowly opening city gate. I died under the city today. I wonder if my descendants will remember me.
A ray of fire sent light into the city gate, and Xiao Yixue's eyes were stabbed in pain.
The Jin soldiers who had been slowly retreating were shocked to find that the city gate they had tried their best to attack for half a month actually opened by themselves.
At the same time, on the road to the east, the Liao people on horseback unconsciously looked back at the Datong City Wall.
Yelu Dashi brought all the sufficient grain with him, and then set fire to the warehouse. The grain and baggage were destroyed, and the remaining Liao soldiers set fire to everywhere in the city.
No matter who wins Datong, they must spend time rebuilding this powerful city to prevent the other party from coming to seize it.
Yelu Dashi walked decisively, leaving no escape route, and created the best opportunity for himself to escape.
The group of people numbered no more than 50,000. Following the path that had been planned long ago, they began to migrate for the survival of the nation.
According to Yelu Dashi's plan, by passing through Jinhe Mountain and Heishui Town, and reaching the west of Bage tribe, we can temporarily avoid the competition between Song and Jin Dynasties, recuperate and restore our vitality.
As for Yun Nei’s victory or defeat, it doesn’t matter. After I leave, I won’t care about the flood. If I stay here, the Khitan will be exterminated!
The changes in the east gate soon fell into Yao Pingzhong's eyes, and he suddenly understood.
No wonder Yelu Dashi took advantage of the last war to concentrate the main force of the Khitan, but he didn't react when Yingzhou was captured. This series of anomalies made him tired even though he thought he was stronger than Yelu Dashi.
Did he actually have such an idea? Yao Ping Zhongrao had a lot of courage, but now he is like falling into an ice cellar.
Looking around, he saw that they were all young generals, all of whom he had led by himself.
"Most of the Khitan people abandoned the city and fled. They opened the city to attract the Jin soldiers, so that we can fight to the death with the Jin soldiers, so that they can have a chance to escape comfortably." As soon as Yao Pingzhong finished speaking, the soldiers around him suddenly cursed loudly.
.
"This thief has a vicious plan!"
"There's a fire in the city!"
"Thief, you did a great job!"
The shouting and cursing suddenly stopped, and the golden soldiers under the city, after a period of confirmation, began to slowly press closer.
At this time, Yao Pingzhong's heart calmed down. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone looked over.
"The Khitans have withdrawn, and Yunnei is destined to be the site of a direct confrontation between Song and Liao. I predict that the army will arrive soon. We quickly retreat to the city. There is still food in the camp, and we will fight with the Jin soldiers in every street.
Tanzhou, Yuzhou, Yingzhou, and Shuozhou all have strong reinforcements, and they will definitely come to Yunzhou one after another. We will try our best and wait for the reinforcements."
As soon as he spoke, he immediately analyzed the situation clearly and thoroughly, and the generals felt at ease after hearing this. It was just a more severe fight.
"Show off all the firework to signal for help. There are sentries all around. Get out of the city quickly!"
What can be expected is that every lane in Yun Nei is filled with bloody fighting. It is unprecedentedly cruel. Who can persevere in such a purgatory and get out of this Datong city of blood and fire.
The Jin soldiers tentatively attacked and found that all the ropes of the suspension bridges at the east gate had been cut off and the gate was open!
"Has anyone surrendered in Liaogou?" Wanyan Loushi said in confusion.
Wanyan Aguda took a few steps forward, and the Jurchen generals around him gave way. Looking at the wide-open east gate, Wanyan Aguda also hesitated. This was too weird.
Although the Jin soldiers were still slowly pressing forward, their steps were slow and their attitude was cautious. They were much more aggressive than when they attacked the city just now.
At this time, a general is needed to step forward and find out the truth.
Wanyan Loushi was repelled the first time and almost died in Aguda's tent, thinking secretly in her heart.
I'm not of royal blood. If I don't work hard, how can I get ahead? Last time it was Sagai who stepped in to save me. This time I can make a contribution so that I can explain to Zong Han.
He glanced at Zong Han, who nodded slowly. Without hesitation, Lou Shi stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Lou Shi is willing to be the vanguard and go in to find out what's going on."
Aguda nodded and Lou Shi stood up. Several soldiers followed him and quickly put on their armor and mounted their horses.
This team of Muke is his most trusted subordinates and the most adept at fighting.
After walking through the mountains of corpses and seas of blood under the city, we arrived at the east gate and saw a group of Liao warriors with resolute faces standing in front of us.
They exuded a strange fighting spirit, as if they couldn't wait, and seemed to be willing to die. Wanyan Loushi felt a burst of anger in his heart, and he took the lead in killing them.
"We're finally here!" Xiao Yi and Xue Yangtian shouted, leading a thousand infantry and rushing towards the cavalry.
All the war horses of the Liao people were left to the fleeing and migrating tribesmen, and not a single one was left behind.
Are the Liao people crazy? This is what Lou Shi and his cavalry are wondering at this moment.
It is very clear that these people are seeking death. Why?
They had seen too many Liao people either kneeling down and begging for mercy, or running away in all directions, and occasionally some fighting to the death. But this was the first time they saw the infantry not forming a formation against the cavalry, but instead rushing forward to die.
