As night falls, the city of Yanjing, which was supposed to be the first time for lights to turn on, was now a bustling city with lights and feasting, but now it is lifeless. Shops are closed and pedestrians are returning home. Except for armored sergeants with guns patrolling back and forth, and a few wild dogs wandering around, the sky above the streets No one.
The Northern Expedition of the Song Army was fierce, and the city of Yanjing was in turmoil. Although the city of Yanjing was impregnable and there were 100,000 troops stationed in the city, the Song army was so powerful that the soldiers and people could not leave the city, and people were panicked.
For the people of Yanjing City, they have experienced a lot of military affairs. When the Mongolian army broke through the city of Yanjing, the soldiers and civilians in the city suffered a catastrophe, and only about 100,000 people survived in the city.
Whether it was hard days or good days, the people of Yanjing, who had just been clean for a few years, never imagined that they would have to experience the baptism of war again.
In the East Street of Yanjing City, in an official hall, the lights were brightly lit. Yelu Aigu, Yelu Shange and other generals from Dongliao were discussing matters in the hall, which was very lively.
In a fierce battle outside the city, the Song army was fierce. Not only did they defeat Gesar's 5,000 cavalry who attacked by surprise, but they also killed more than 20,000 fine Mongolian cavalry. His Dongliao disciples alone lost more than 6,000 cavalry.
The Mongolian cavalry had been defeated and discouraged, and they could only rely on the Eastern Liao soldiers and Zhang Honglue's Han army to defend the city.
Thinking of the fierce fighting scene outside the city and the bloody and bloody tragedy, Dongliao coach Yelu Aigu felt as if there was a huge stone weighing him down, making him breathless.
If the Song army attacks the city, where will the Eastern Liao soldiers go? Under the indiscriminate bombardment, how many more casualties would the Dongliao soldiers have?
"Yanjing City is surrounded by walls. Let's guard the east side. There is a vast plain outside, so there will be a lot of casualties!"
Xiao Shan, the commander of Dongliao, looked gloomy and said angrily.
After a big battle during the day, the commander Kou Wenbuhua chose to defend the city. Dongliao's 30,000 troops guarded the east wall, Baozhou Zhang Hongyan defended the south wall, Yanjing's Han army guarded the north wall, and Temutai guarded the west wall.
As for Kou Wen Bu Hua, he led more than 10,000 Mongolian elite cavalry to sit in the Yamen of Yanjing Prefecture and command from the center.
All the gates in the city, except for the two main gates in the southwest, have been blocked by huge rocks, and the Mongolian army is ready to hold on.
"In these years, following Temujin and Ogedai's expeditions east and west, my sons from Dongliao have suffered too many casualties. If Yanjing City is defended, they will probably die!"
The deputy governor, Wu Laer, stroked his beard and sighed.
"Don't be scared out of your wits. The Song Army is not that powerful. We can defend the city with swords, guns and firearms, but we can also make the Song Army piss off!"
Cha Lahai, a powerful general in the army and commander of the infantry, said angrily.
"That's right! Zhang Hongyan is guarding the south wall, and he is facing the main force of the Song army. Zhang Hongyan said that he will defend Yanjing City to the death. Zhang Hongyan is not afraid. Our Eastern Liao soldiers are strong, so what are we afraid of?"
Another cavalry commander, Osu Hai, also said loudly, with a raging fighting spirit.
If you can't fight on horseback, let's have a hearty battle to defend the city.
"Aosuhai, you fart! Zhang Hongyan's father, Zhang Rou, was assassinated by the Song Dynasty. Your father was assassinated? Those who died were all children of Dongliao. Don't you feel sad?"
Commander Xiao Shan cursed dissatisfiedly.
"Xiao Shan, you Niang are farting! The Song army is approaching the city, do you Niang want to surrender to the enemy?"
Aosuhai also immediately scolded him back.
"Who said I'm going to surrender to the enemy? I'll kill you, you thief!"
Xiaoshan's face turned red, he drew his sword out of its sheath and headed straight for Aosuhai.
"Come on! I'm afraid of you!"
Aosuhai did not show any weakness, he also drew his sword and went straight to Xiaoshan.
All the generals in the hall quickly pulled the two away.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you think I'm dead?"
Coach Yelu Augu slammed the table, his face ashen.
"Whoever dares to fight among themselves again, I will engage in military law!"
The coach showed off his power, and the generals immediately fell silent. Yelu Aigu glanced at the generals and then said:
"The Song army is approaching the city. The enemy is in front of us. Don't let your own people get into chaos before the fight begins. Get down, prepare for battle, and prepare to defend the city tomorrow! Get out of here! Get out of here!"
Yelu Aigu waved his hand impatiently, and all the generals left one after another.
Not long after the generals left, a few people turned back. Yelu Agu waved his hands, and several of his confidants sat down one after another.
"Uncle, what are you thinking about?"
Brother Yelu Shan, his nephew, looked at the sad-looking Yelu Aigu and asked in a low voice.
He saw a fierce battle between the Song and Meng armies outside the city, and was frightened in his heart. But he was young and brave, and did not lose his soul.
His subordinates Wei Shouye, Xiao Shan and others all turned their attention to Yelu Aigu.
Yelu Aigu made a gesture with his eyes, and Xiaoshan understood. He walked to the door, looked out for a moment, and then closed the door.
"Xiao Shan, Wei Shouye, do you think this Yanjing City can be defended?"
Yelu Aigu frowned, lowered his voice and was careful.
"General, the Song army is powerful and has ferocious firearms. It is difficult for thousands of troops to stop it. If they attack the city and use their firearms to bombard them indiscriminately, I am afraid there will be countless casualties."
Wei Shouye was still frightened when he thought of the fighting outside the city.
"General, if the Song Army attacks the city, we, the children of Liaodong, may have hundreds of artillery pieces and tens of thousands of sky-shaking thunders, but how can we compare with the Song Army? When the city is defended and the battle is over, I don't know who will be able to go back. Several people?"
Xiao Shan followed with a sad face.
In a charge outside the city, under the Song army's artillery cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry had little power to fight back. It can be said to be a bloody massacre.
With firearms, siege is no longer about fortification. The old tactics of besieging ten times and attacking five times are obsolete.
"General Xiao, what are you afraid of? There are 100,000 troops in Yanjing City. The city wall is thick and impregnable. No matter how powerful the Song army's weapons are, it will be difficult to break through the city!"
Brother Yelushan didn't care about anything, which made Yeluxigu glare and scold him.
"Shut up! You know nothing! Do you think that more than 30,000 people from Liaodong will die in Yanjing City? Have you forgotten what your mother and your eldest brother told you?"
Brother Yelushan blushed and did not dare to say anything.
Uncle's remaining power is still very powerful.
"General, several armies of the Song Army are marching to the north. Yanjing City is besieged. I don't know what's going on over there in Taiyuan City? It won't be a big battle, right?"
Wei Shouye was uneasy and Xiaoshan said something resentful.
"We can't control what Taiyuan is for. Just worry about us. Maybe tomorrow, there will be a big war!"
He raised his head, looked at Brother Yelushan, and hesitated:
"General, when you went to the Song Dynasty to meet Emperor Song, didn't you make any promises and..."
Xiao Shan whispered softly, Yelu Aigu shook his head and smiled bitterly, lowering his voice as much as possible.
"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty has been a famous emperor for thousands of years. He has thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in his mind. I admire him very much. He said that we can just sit back and watch, waiting for the world to be settled. But who would have expected that we are now in the city of Yanjing? So what?"
The Song Emperor asked Dong Liao to stay away from the matter, but the Mongol Khan Ogedai ordered the troops to be mobilized. How dare he not come?
"Uncle, do you want to open the city and surrender to the enemy? How about I..."
Brother Yelushan became excited all of a sudden, and he immediately approached Yelushangu, his voice as quiet as a mosquito's chirping.
"Uncle, how about I go out of the city and go to Song Camp to coordinate the inside and outside..."
If the Song Army's Northern Expedition goes smoothly and the two rivers are pacified, he can also go to the south of the Yangtze River and experience the beautiful scenery there.
"No! It's too risky! If we are discovered by Oral Wen Buhua, our heads will fall to the ground."
Yelu Aigu shook his head and denied his nephew's adventure.
"It's a pity that Emperor Song didn't have a chariot to conquer it personally, otherwise we could have given it a try."
"Yes! Offering the city to surrender is of great importance. Once the news leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous. This matter needs to be done with caution and must not be done hastily."
Xiao Shan and Wei Shouye both nodded and whispered.
Yelu Aigu nodded and frowned in thought.
The situation is urgent. If we can't make a decision, we may have to fight the Song army.
"General, brothers caught a man outside the Yamen. This man claims to be some kind of Yanjing miracle doctor who can cure all diseases."
The guard reported outside the hall, and Brother Yelushan scolded him angrily:
"Go away! What time has it been? What kind of bullshit miracle doctor is here! Lock him up! Go!"
"General, Major General, the miracle doctor said that he can cure the general's heart disease."
The guard warned him, Brother Yelu Shan was still angry, but Yelu Gu stopped him.
"Bring the warlock up."
Brother Yelushan wanted to speak, but Xiao Shan and Wei Shouye stopped him at the same time.
A Confucian scholar in his thirties came in with an ordinary appearance and was dressed in a green shirt. When he saw Yelu Aigu and others, he bowed.
"When I was in charge of the Xia Song Dynasty, I met General Yelu."
Song Dynasty? General Yelu?
Yelu Gaigu's heart moved, but his face remained calm.
"Mr. Song, since you claim to be a miracle doctor and can cure all diseases, do you know what disease I have?"
If you don't stay at home well late at night, you come to this military yamen to cure all diseases. Do you still know that there are such strange things in the world?
"General, this is absolutely true. I don't dare to deceive the general. Please stay away, lest the magic will not work."
Song Shiren said softly, but there was something in his words.
"Uncle, this man is a charlatan, don't be deceived by him!"
Worried about being deceived, Brother Yelushan quickly advised him from the sidelines.
A charlatan appeared out of nowhere, deceived people into the General Yamen, and people didn't laugh to death when word spread.
"Go! Guard the door! Everyone else, get out!"
Yelushangu said decisively, Brother Yelushan stood up angrily and came to guard the door. The guards retreated and the door was closed.
"Sir, don't mind. We are all our own people here. If you have anything to say, sir, it doesn't matter."
Yelu Aigu whispered and asked Song Shiren to sit down.
"General Yelu, I am here today to give you a fortune that will bring you great wealth, and it is also related to the future of our Dongliao soldiers. I wonder if the general is willing to listen to what I have to say."
Song Shiren sat down with playful eyes.
"Sir, it doesn't matter what you say. I'm all ears."
PoTian's wealth, future and destiny were all revealed. Yelu Gaigu and the others knew a little bit about who this person was.
"General, someone has asked me to bring a letter to the general. The general will read it before speaking."
After Song Shiren finished speaking, he took out a letter from his arms. Xiao Shan quickly took it and gave it to Yelu Aigu.
Yelu Aigu took the letter, opened it in a daze, read it for a moment, and opened his eyes in surprise.
"Sir, is Uncle Zhou Guo outside Yanjing City? When he came in, he wasn't seen by the generals who were going out, right?"
Yelu Aigu was secretly frightened. This Song Shiren is really brave. If he encounters Aosuhai and Chalahai, he doesn't know how much trouble he will cause.
"Don't worry, general. I looked carefully. I waited for everyone to leave before entering the office wearing a hood. And when I came in, not many people saw me."
Song Shiren continued, and everyone in Yelu Aigu nodded.
This man is meticulous in his work and is indeed no ordinary person.
The people of the Song Dynasty were able to lay out their plans in Yanjing, which shows that their plans were based on the two rivers.
"Why did you come just now?"
Yelu Aigu shook his head and sighed.
Having said that, even if the other party contacted them early, could they not listen to their words and send them out of the city to fight?
"General, Uncle Zhou Guo is going north on the orders of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty for today's matter. Uncle Zhou Guo is in the military camp outside the city. What is said in the letter is the order of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and will never be deceived. How to choose , I believe the general will make his own decision."
Song Shiren said softly, Yelu Aigu and others felt at ease.
With the promise of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, there was no hesitation about this petition.
"I am deeply grateful for the kindness of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Sir, we might as well discuss in detail how to plan."
Song Shiren, Yelu Shangu and others were whispering. Brother Yelushan stood by the door and listened carefully, his heart pounding.
The uncle was determined and pinned the future of Dongliao on the Song people.
