In the heavy snow, a crossbow arrow penetrated the cold air, broke through the sky net woven by dense snowflakes, and shot out from the top of the city with a faint sound of wind and thunder. Strictly speaking, this was not a crossbow arrow, but a crossbow arrow.
A hardwood stick. However, the head is slightly sharpened. The body of the stick is not very smooth, and there are mottled marks and slightly raised wood chips after sharpening. It can be seen that the person who made this crossbow was
How hasty it was.
Its flight is not perfect either. A perfect crossbow is smooth and stable in flight, like a fish swimming in the water without any hindrance, with a graceful posture. The trajectory it flies through is also smooth, with a graceful arc.
As for this crossbow arrow, due to its rough production and offset center of gravity, it not only rotates but also sways during flight. Its head and tail do not vibrate at the same frequency, which makes it look like it is frightened in the air.
Fish usually jump in the water and fly forward. The rough body brings resistance, which brings greater resistance to its flight, stirring up the surrounding snowflakes, causing obvious disturbance to the snowflakes, and thus also flying under the heavy snow.
A trace of turbulence was left in it, as if a trajectory had been drawn.
But even so, driven by the three powerful bowstrings, it was still like a cannonball, violently and savagely penetrating the space of three hundred steps, and it only took a few breaths to reach the location it wanted to reach.
Yelu Zongyuan and others around him were pointing at the city tower. Although they couldn't see the specific battle situation, Yelu Zongyuan and others could see the general progress clearly. There were more and more people on the walls on both sides of the city tower.
The flow of people attacking could still be seen clearly, and with news reports coming constantly, he knew that the Xicheng Tower was about to be captured. So Yelu Zongyuan was in a good mood. He would definitely be able to spend the night in Liaoyang Mansion tonight. At the last moment,
He conquered this place. This means that the Jurchens will flee like bereaved dogs, which means that the army will recover the land of Liaodong with overwhelming force, and finally drive them into the deep mountains and old forests of Changbai Mountain in the ice and snow. After that, he will
Looking to the south, that weak fat sheep is waiting for him to slaughter. In the south, that rich and prosperous land is waiting for him to conquer. That prosperous land full of rich and beautiful women will be the pinnacle of his imperial career.
"Buzz buzz!" A dull sound like wind and thunder shook everyone's eardrums. The guards beside Yelu Zongyuan immediately heard that it was the sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air, and they quickly responded
However, the heavy snow filled their eyes, and they could not see the arrival of the ferocious crossbow arrow in the distance. It was not until the crossbow arrow broke through the snow and fog and appeared in the air several feet away that Yelv Zongyuan
Only then did the guards around him discover its traces.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
"There's a cold arrow!"
At the critical moment, several guards still responded. Two of them rode forward and tried to block it with their shields. The others waved their scimitars and tried to knock the enemy away.
A crossbow arrow. However, their movements were too slow, or the time left for them to react was too short. The scimitar passed through the tail of the crossbow arrow, cutting off a large piece of snowflakes, but the shield had not yet reached its position, and the swinging sword
The crossbow arrows grazed the upper edge of the shield, making a harsh friction sound.
"Peng!" A dull voice sounded. It was like someone hit Yelu Zongyuan on the chest with a big hammer. The golden armor on Yelu Zongyuan's chest was obviously dented. His tall body
He fell backward from his horse. Before his body hit the ground, a mouthful of hot blood sprayed into the air, dyeing thousands of snowflakes red.
Rather than being pierced into the body by a crossbow arrow, it is better to say that the crossbow arrow hit Yelu Zongyuan's chest vigorously. The sharpened hardwood actually failed to penetrate Yelu Zongyuan's golden armor. That was just
It's just an exterior inlaid with gold, but it's a real heart armor on the inside. Wooden arrows are impenetrable, not to mention that it swings like a flower and shoots at it, which greatly reduces the penetration. Therefore, when the arrow is shot
When the armor blocked it, the arrow body and tail of the crossbow rotated horizontally, hitting the chest from the upper left to the lower right. All the kinetic energy was transferred to Yelu Zongyuan's body, even though it was released after a distance of three hundred steps.
, but in the end, Yelu Zongyuan's huge body was whipped and flew backwards.
The moment Yelu Zongyuan flew up, he already felt that he couldn't breathe. He felt that his internal organs were churning with severe pain, and he felt that his chest had no feeling at all. He felt that the fishy heat could not be suppressed, so he looked up to the sky and spurted blood.
Fall off the horse.
"Your Majesty has been hit by an arrow, Your Majesty has been hit by an arrow." All the Liao army guards and accompanying officials shouted in panic. The guards dismounted and ran towards Yelu Zongyuan. They soon discovered that Yelu Zongyuan's face was as golden as paper and he was unconscious.
woke up.
…
On the city tower, when the golden figure flew up in the air and landed, Wanyan Agu and the other Jurchens could hardly believe their eyes. This arrow was just a gift before retreating, and Wanyan Agu had no ability to do so.
In his expectation of hitting Yelu Zongyuan, he just thought that even if he could shoot around Yelu Zongyuan and frighten Yelu Zongyuan, he would have achieved his goal. He didn't even have a proper crossbow arrow, so how could he expect to really hit Yelu Zongyuan.
But the fact is that it was the simple crossbow arrow that I made with the hardwood handle of the mace that hit Yelu Zongyuan. Even if it was a stick that cannot be called a crossbow arrow, the three-gong bed crossbow
With the blessing, shooting at a flesh and blood body will also cause huge damage. Wanyan Agu's excited mind came up with the idea that he would not kill Yelv Zongyuan with one arrow. Even if he did not die, I'm afraid
He will also be seriously injured.
Wanyan Aguda suddenly burst into laughter, grabbed half of the mace and shouted loudly: "You guys, kill me! The dog emperor of Liao is dead, and the dogs of Liao can no longer jump, so kill them all with me."
The Jurchen warriors were excited,
Holding their maces high, roaring and howling loudly, they charged towards the walls on both sides like wild beasts. The Liao soldiers on the walls heard their shouts, and the soldiers who understood the Jurchen dialect immediately reported the content of their shouts to Yelucai and others.
Yelucai was doubtful and turned his head to look down the city. He found that his father, who was standing hundreds of steps below the city and fighting outside, was indeed no longer there. A large number of his entourage were also quickly evacuating. He was suddenly panicked.
"Yelu Zongyuan is dead. The Dog Emperor of the Liao Kingdom was killed by my Jurchen leader with a crossbow. The end of the Liao Dog has come. Kill him." The Jurchens yelled crazily, and the news quickly spread throughout the battlefield.
The Liao people were suspicious, and the Jurchens were excited. The situation had already reached collapse, and there were less than 80,000 Jurchens left out of the 200,000. They were at an absolute disadvantage. Everyone thought they would be defeated today and would die here today.
At that time, the news came which boosted their morale. The big leader did not let them down. At this time, the big leader actually killed the Liao emperor. This was a shot in the arm, and they began to fight back crazily. On the other hand, the Liao Dynasty
On the soldiers' side, although the news was suspicious, news soon came that the eldest prince Yelucai had led his troops to retreat from the city and return to the camp. This basically confirmed that the matter was not groundless.
After about a stick of incense, the sound of gold came from the city, which was the order to retreat. Soon the Liao soldiers received the order to withdraw immediately and stop attacking the city. This also officially confirmed the news that the emperor had been shot.
The soldiers immediately stopped attacking the city and retreated in defeat. They even abandoned a large number of siege equipment and retreated like a tide.
Wanyan Aguda and others had no intention of pursuing them. They were actually exhausted. The remaining nearly 80,000 Jurchen soldiers stood on top of the snow-filled city, and the sweat all over their bodies began to slowly turn cold, as if
It was like a nightmare. The corpses everywhere made them truly feel their luck. They crawled out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood. They were still alive, and the Liaoyang Mansion was still there. They did something that was impossible to do.
, everyone knows that the Liao people will no longer have a chance to get involved in Liaoyang Mansion after retreating today.
Wanyan Agu crossed his legs and faced the direction of the Liao army camp below the city. His chest was high and his fists were clenched tightly. His heart was full of excitement and pride. Although 200,000 people were killed or injured
More than half, but this is nothing. He knows that from today on, Wanyan Aguda can compete with the Liao Kingdom without relying on anyone's strength. From today on, the road ahead of Wanyan Aguda will be great.
More brilliant and flatter.
"Ah hey hey hey!" Wanyan Aguda suddenly put his hands around his mouth and roared loudly toward the empty white land. It was the cry that the Jurchens liked to make when they were successful in hunting and returned home with a full load.
"Ah, hey, hey, hey!" All the Jurchens, including the Jurchen people in the city, also shouted. The sound penetrated the endless heavy snow, resounded throughout the earth, and went straight into the sky.
