Chapter five hundred and forty-first purgatory on earth
Yelu Zongxin's face was pale, and all this was completely beyond his expectations. For many years, he thought that he had read the military books of the Han people and was able to handle the Song people with ease. When soldiers came to block the water and came to the soil, he had solutions even if there were a little difference.
This is why he so confidently asked Yelu Ying to stick to the support, because he felt that a team of 30,000 people could completely defend this steep pass, but now he realized that he was wrong, and it was quite outrageous.
The army of the Song Dynasty showed tactics and combat power that he had never seen before, and the weapons and equipment of the Song people in front of him were also something he had never seen!
He did not see what Da Song used to knock down the city wall, but only saw a small iron cannon stone, but did not see the cannon, otherwise he would have escaped, while the armor of Da Song in front of him was something he actually saw.
The shiny armor is not only amazing, but also has a very good protective effect. The rain of arrows from the Liao Dynasty just now basically had no big impact on the Song Dynasty's military formation. This alone made Yelu Zongxin crazy jealous. If the cavalry of the Liao Dynasty could have such armor, it would definitely be an invincible existence in the world!
Unwillingly forgot about the Song army that was coming to his face, Yelu Zongxin turned to his personal soldiers and said, "Follow me to fight out!"
Yelu Ying was shocked and grabbed Yelu Zongxin and said, "How can you withdraw at this time?! Once you and I leave these 30,000 Khitan warriors, they will be slaughtered by the Song people!"
Yelu Zongxin said coldly: "Without these people helping you and me to resist, how can we withdraw?"
"Didn't you say you can defend Feihu City?!"
Yelu Zongxin pointed to the ruins on the south side and said, "There is still a need to defend such a flying fox city? Even the brick and stone walls cannot do anything to the Song people. Now there is nothing left! Look at the warriors of our Great Liao Dynasty, they are simply lambs to be slaughtered in front of such a Song people. The momentum of the army dispersed from the beginning. How can they have the power to fight?"
Following Yelu Zongxin's finger, what Yelu Ying saw was a mess. The originally fierce Liao Dynasty warriors were no match for the Song people at all, and even 30,000 people were not the one-union enemy of more than 10,000 Song imperial guards.
This is a massacre of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty. They slaughtered all the Khitan warriors like a huge steel beast. The wave of defeated soldiers became increasingly larger and more difficult to control. At this time, they could only use their elites to fight for a bloody path. Otherwise, these 30,000 people would have no way out and would definitely be slaughtered by the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
Yelu Ying stomped helplessly: "Oh! Now that's all we can do, gather the elite soldiers of you and me, and fight out from the north gate, leaving a way out for the remaining soldiers, so how much can they save!"
Yelu Zongxin nodded and said, "Then take the opportunity to fight out now. As long as the north gate opens, the soldiers will definitely flee outside, and naturally they will not be slaughtered by the Song people."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting: "The north gate is open, the north gate is open!"
Yelu Zongxin's face changed. When the north gate opened, the Liao army would inevitably flock to the crowd, and it was messy. It would be better not to open the door like this!
Sure enough, with the words of the Khitan soldiers, the Liao Dynasty soldiers on the entire battlefield had no intention of fighting and swarmed towards the north gate. The sound was made in Khitan, and the sound was pure and unquestionable. But only Yelu Zongxin heard that the source of the sound was near the Song army camp in the south...
Yelu Zongxin knew that this must be the instigation plan of the Song people, but at this time it was useless to care about these things. The entire Liao Dynasty defenders were completely in panic and rushed to the north gate. Even if the north gate was not opened, the north gate defenders would open the door by themselves in such a defeat.
Yelu Zongxin did not know that the true fear of human beings is fear itself.
When the defeated Liao army rushed to the North Gate like a tide, the North Gate defenders heard only the horror of the Song Dynasty imperial guards and the astonishing words of the gods standing on the side of the Song Dynasty. Thinking of the previous thunder and the vibration of the city walls, the North Gate defenders quickly opened the city gate, and the defenders who could have stabilized their positions also collapsed...
Yelu Zongxin closed his eyes in despair and sighed: "The power of the Song people's soldiers is so powerful, and my Great Liao is in danger!"
Obviously, his words did not get Yelu Ying's approval. He raised his head and said proudly: "Once I, the Khitan warrior, will definitely compete with the Song people immediately!"
Yelu Zongxin was no longer willing to explain to him, so he shook his head and left. The city was in front of him. After leaving the danger of geographical advantage, the iron cavalry of the Song people would definitely pursue him with his tail. I don’t know how many 30,000 people could be left.
Yelu Zongxin and Yelu Ying were swept by the defeated soldiers and moved towards the north gate. Strangely, the Song people did not pursue them, but formed a military formation to block the collapsed city wall in the south and waited for it. Just when the Liao people were not aware of it and mocked the Song people for not knowing how to use troops, a thunder suddenly sounded...
The shells slashed over the head of the Song army formation and smashed towards the north gate like a pop. All the people and horses that blocked it were barely turned into meat mud, and the huge impact was eroded by a hundred meters. For a moment, the north gate was surprisingly quiet.
Everyone stared at the flesh and blood flying across the ravines and was stunned. This was the method of the gods!
Greater fear enveloped their heads, and the defeated soldiers shouted, cried and cursed, crowded towards the narrow north gate. The scene became increasingly difficult to control. The power of a shot was so terrifying. What else could I resist? The courage of the Liao people was completely defeated, and the last trace of courage in their hearts was also lost.
At this time, Yelu Ying finally understood what Yelu Zongxin meant. The Khitan warriors who had lost their courage were no match for the Song people at all...
The artillery began, and the continuous whistling sound came towards the north gate like a fierce ghost seeking his life. The crowded Liao people became the best target. For a moment, blood rain rose with a loud noise, and the broken limbs and arms were everywhere. The extremely fearful Khitan warriors even abandoned their glory and knelt on the ground to pray to the sky, but the ruthless shells still fell on them. The iron shells carried mud and rushed forward on the ground.
Yelu Zongxin watched Yelu Ying's body split, and a piece of meat from some unknown place hit his face, which was so wet and sticky that it was disgusting.
But at this time, he had no time to care about the minced meat on his face. He quickly fled to the west under the guidance of his personal soldiers. The more people he had, the more unsafe he had, and the city walls on both sides were better.
After getting on the city wall, he tied his body with a rope with the help of his personal soldiers and slid down the wall. He pressed his heart down the moment his feet stood on the ground. He finally escaped from hell on earth.
The sound of cannons stopped, and when the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty moved forward again, the scene in the city was already terrible, and there was no trace of resistance at all. The Liao people at the North Gate had completely lost their will to fight and became a bunch of trembling and terrified little beasts, gathered together to look at the Song army with fear on their faces.
