The crossbow arrows were cocked and flew out like a torrential downpour. More and more Liao soldiers fell in pieces under the stormy offensive.
This should be regarded as an extremely rich victory, but Li Danqing's brows furrowed at this moment.
He didn't understand whether the Liao people had lost their minds or had really become so disorganized.
The crowd fell down almost as if they were being slaughtered. There was no resistance at all, they just rushed towards the altar.
It was as if as long as they entered the altar, they would have hope of living.
Li Danqing found it difficult to understand this logic. He felt that there might be something weird behind it, but it was difficult to figure it out in a short time.
But in the end, killing these Liao people should be the right thing for them. No matter what the Liao people's plan is, these Liao troops should be an extremely important force to them. To weaken them is to weaken them.
The possible conspiracy of the Liao people.
To be honest, such a scene is indeed a bit cruel.
But Li Danqing had no plans to be soft-hearted.
He knew that being soft-hearted at this time was irresponsible to the Wuyang warriors who had followed him all the way here.
After more than an hour, the massacre finally came to an end.
On the altar of the Fierce Yin Mountain Temple, there were piles of corpses of Liao soldiers. The bodies were so huge that they almost formed a hill. The smell of blood was permeating the air, making people sick.
Li Danqing Chumo made a rough estimate. In this hour alone, there were tens of thousands of Liao people who died under their arrows.
"Your Majesty...are they going to do it?" Gongsun Zhi stepped forward and asked at this moment.
If he didn't smell the strangeness in it at the beginning, as the casualties of the Liao people continued to increase, Gongsun Zhi gradually saw that these Liao people seemed to be sending their own lives.
He also had trouble understanding the logic.
“I don’t know what the Liao people are planning, but it’s always best to be careful.”
Li Danqing said in a deep voice, at this time Wuyang's army had already stepped forward under the command of Mang Ku and began to clean up the corpses of the Liao people, while the remaining Liao people had already retreated.
In the shrine, Li Danqing was afraid that the Liao people would have some back-ups, so he did not let everyone launch an offensive immediately.
After the tens of thousands of Liao corpses in front of the altar were cleared, Li Danqing led his army to the altar.
He looked at Liu Zizai beside him. Liu Zizai understood instantly. At this moment, he nodded and walked forward, shouting loudly towards the altar: "Listen to the Liao barbarians inside, my Wuyang army has surrounded you."
The shrine is here. Your Major General Shan Yu Tongjian has been executed. Now you are the turtle in the jar. If you withdraw from the shrine now, those who are sincere in the city can save their lives! Otherwise, they will be buried together with the shrine on the top of this sinister mountain. "
Soldiers never tire of deceit. In order to destroy the psychological defenses of these Liao people as much as possible, Liu Zizai deliberately said that the main force of the Liao army had been defeated.
Such lies would of course make people laugh at ordinary times. After all, the main force of the Qinglang tribe is more than 100,000 people, which is almost twice as many as the Wuyang army today. Their combat power and equipment are stronger than the Wuyang army. If you want to
Defeating them is no easy task.
Judging from the performance of the Liao people just now, it is obvious that they have lost their military morale. At this moment, such lies that were self-defeating in the past can now become the straw that breaks the camel's back.
But to Li Danqing's expectation, the shrine was tightly closed and there was no response at all.
"Young Master! This?" Liu Zizai was also a little confused. At this time, he retreated to Li Danqing, scratched his head and asked.
Of course Li Danqing also understood their troubles, so he himself was not confused by them.
The Liao people were already doomed to be the turtles in the urn by hiding in this sacred platform. If they really wanted to resist, they should have organized a large army to defend them before. Now that most of them were killed and injured, they still insist on refusing to surrender. It is unreasonable no matter how you look at it.
"Let the army prepare and prepare to destroy the altar directly!" Li Danqing couldn't understand, so he simply didn't think about it in detail. He said with a serious expression on his face.
Destroying the altar is the real purpose of their trip.
Whether they had hung the corpse at Shanyuguan or sent letters to provoke them, the purpose was to get the Liao army to dispatch, so that they would have the opportunity to sneak up to the Fierce Yin Mountain and destroy the shrine.
Although to this day, Li Danqing still cannot clearly know what exactly this shrine is.
What does it mean to the Liao people?
The gods they said came to the world were somewhat credible, but he felt that since the Liao people could pay such a high price for this, there must be some basis for it.
The Liao people had been secretly carrying out this matter for more than a month. From the mouths of the previous prisoners, Li Danqing also knew that whether it was the shrine of Jiyin Mountain or the man-made holy mountain located in Wangshan Qionglai County
, in fact, they have reached the point where they are almost completed.
If he led his army to break out of the encirclement at this time, relying on the food and grass stolen from the Qinglang tribe's central army camp, there might not be a chance at all, but the time wasted by these two trips would be enough for the Liao people to complete all their plans.
After thinking about it, Crown Prince Li locked himself in the camp for a full night. When he walked out of the camp again, everyone was surprised to find that the Crown Prince, who was just nineteen years old, already had white hair.
This is a very difficult decision.
Stay in Jieyin Mountain and destroy the shrine with surprise soldiers. Even if everything goes well and the shrine is destroyed, the Liao people's plan will be stranded, and they will have no escape, and they will face hundreds of thousands of Liao soldiers.
Under siege, the fate that awaits Li Danqing and his soldiers is obvious.
Li Danqing was not afraid of death, but the decision to drag so many loyal checkmates to die with him was not an easy decision to make.
But no matter what, now that he had reached this step, Li Danqing did not hesitate at all and gave the order in a deep voice.
The soldiers around them had already understood what they would face if they stayed, having destroyed the key to the Liao people's plan. What they would face was destined to be the crazy ambitions of the Liao army who had come back to their senses.
But after the battle at Kuyue Mountain, those who were still willing to stay with Li Danqing had a strong heart and were already well prepared to die.
After hearing this, everyone did not say much. They just arranged the soldiers according to the plan. Catapults seized from the nearby military camps were pushed out one after another and came to the area around the altar. Those that were transported up were engraved with strange curses.
The stones were placed.
As the rope was tightened, the catapult was ready to go.
Li Danqing glanced at this huge altar, his face darkened at that time, and he whispered: "Let go."
