"Straight thief! So cruel!" Ma Han cursed repeatedly and rode up with his bodyguards. Yelu Hongji did not hesitate. After killing the people, he turned around and ran away. Ma Han and others ran out of ten
A few steps away, he had already fled to the horse.
Seeing the change in the situation, Yelu Hongji's followers at the rear rushed forward one after another. They bent their bows and fired arrows to block the pursuit route of Ma Han and others. Ma Han continued to chase while waving his sword at the top of his voice. Su Jin quickly ordered them
Stop the pursuit to avoid causing casualties.
"This guy is so cruel. He even killed his own mother and younger brothers and sisters. Damn it, it's really unbelievable." Ma Han spat and his lips turned blue.
"He doesn't want us to have the capital to threaten him. He has a heart of iron and is a character who will do anything for his own interests. If time goes by, he will definitely become a big trouble." Su Jin said coldly.
"I'm really unwilling to let him go like this." Ma Han said.[
"Don't worry, what he did is a way, but it may not be the best way. We lost the chess pieces that we held hostage, but he personally killed his mother, siblings, what would the soldiers and people of the Liao Kingdom think? We might as well take advantage of this."
"How to use it?" Mahan didn't understand.
Su Jin snorted and said, "Let's try it and we'll talk about it after we get back to the formation."
Yeluhongji fled back to the formation, dismounted and sat on a large bluestone to catch his breath. More than a dozen generals looked at him from a distance, but came over to offer condolences.
Yelu Hongji killed his mother, queen, princes and princesses with his own hands. He felt a little guilty. Seeing Yelu Kanrong and others keeping a distance, he felt a little angry. He stood up and walked over and shouted: "If you don't urge the strong men to attack, a
What are you doing here? Do you think I did something wrong?"
Yelu Kanrong's expression was indifferent and he said calmly: "How dare you, the general, to accuse His Highness of being relegated?"
"How dare you?... Your expressions clearly tell me, are you blind? Haven't you seen the Song Dynasty threatening us to surrender with the lives of our mothers, queens, princes, princesses and ministers? I did this out of necessity, for the sake of the Liao Dynasty
For the sake of the country, even if my father is here, he will not criticize me, do you understand?"
The generals remained silent, with a clear expression of disdain on their faces. Yelu Kanrong said: "We certainly cannot agree to the Song people's threat, but if the queen, prince, princess and others die at the hands of the Song people, we can say nothing.
That was sacrificing one's life for the country; and we took drastic measures without making the slightest effort to save them, which seemed to be unconsidered; we know the prince's thoughts, but after all, the prince killed them in front of thousands of people and the army, you
Teach them how to think?”
Yelu Hongji also felt regretful. It seemed too arbitrary when he took action just now. Indeed, since the Song people took them as hostages, they would never kill them until the last moment, and he killed them with a knife in order not to be threatened.
My mother and siblings were indeed too hasty.
At this moment, the guilt and fear after killing his mother came together. The generals, soldiers and civilians looked at him with fear and contempt, and seemed to have no respect. All kinds of blows came to his heart, and Yelu Hongji's body became weak.
, after all, he was a seventeen-year-old boy who suddenly had an emotional breakdown and covered his face in pain.
Yelu Kanrong sighed. Although what the prince did was too shocking, it was for the sake of the current situation in Daliao. It was not easy for a young man to sustain the current situation. Moreover, the enemy was allowed to hold the queen and everyone hostage.
Prince and princess, how can we fight this battle?
"Your Highness, my condolences. Let's deal with the current crisis quickly. We've done everything, and there's no point regretting it now. The general will immediately assemble the army and launch an attack."
Yelu Hongji stopped crying and sobbed: "The queen mother did not die in my hands, but in the hands of the Song Dynasty people. After catching Su Jin, I will delay him for seventy-seven forty-nine days to make him do what he did."
Everything comes at a price.”
…
The Liao army issued an order to attack. Driven by scimitars and spears, the people slowly rushed towards the Song army's defense line like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Although the more than 100,000 people did not have much combat power, they were trampled by just the impact.
The power was enough to make the Song army unable to eat and carry away.
As the distance between the two sides gradually came closer, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Thousands of crossbows on the Song Army's defense line were already cocked, aiming at the Liao people coming forward. In fact, these driven people had already entered the shooting range.
, as long as the Song people gave an order, thousands of people would immediately fall to the ground and die.
I don't know when, dozens of trumpet-shaped objects were placed on the roofs near the Song Army's defense lines on various streets. Some people thought they were some kind of long-range attack weapons of the Song people, but in fact they were just simple loudspeakers.
.
Su Jin stood on the roof of a building in the direction of the Liao army's main attack on East Street. He held a loudspeaker and began to shout loudly. Every time he shouted, a dozen soldiers with loud voices around him would shout in unison behind the larger loudspeaker.
To repeat, the purpose is to be heard by everyone on the battlefield in front of you.
"Fellows of the Liao Kingdom, I am Su Jin, a native of the Song Dynasty, and I am also the commander-in-chief of the Song Army unit in front of you. I have a few words from the bottom of my heart that I would like to say to all the fellows of the Liao Kingdom."[
The sudden sound of the loudspeaker made the soldiers and civilians on the battlefield involuntarily listen. When both sides were about to fight, this Su Jin had something to say, which was a bit different.
"The reason why our army of the Song Dynasty appeared in the capital of your country was not because the people of Song Dynasty were warlike, but because they were forced to do so; Song and Liao had been countries of brothers for decades after the Chanyuan Alliance, and the two sides respected each other and traded with each other.
Mutual benefit, we Song people love peace, in order to maintain this peaceful coexistence relationship, we are even willing to give you coins, silk, tea and other materials every year, and also open the border mountains and forests for your country to cut trees and graze, which can be said to be the most benevolent and righteous."
Su Jin said loudly.
"What is this kid farting on? Quickly drive the strong men to break through the enemy's defense line, don't listen to their nonsense." Yelu Hongji saw that not only the strong men began to slow down, but also many soldiers hiding behind were listening.
Showing off, yelling in a hurry.
The generals around him immediately conveyed the order to the generals on each battlefield. The soldiers quickly shouted loudly and drove the strong men to speed up.
That unyielding voice still echoed in the air, covering up the noise of the birds: "... Your country brazenly mobilized an army of 700,000 to attack our northern border. Naturally, we, the Song Dynasty, cannot just sit back and watch our destruction. Therefore, in addition to frontal resistance, I also
It is really a helpless act to volunteer to form this expeditionary force and enter your territory to cause nuisance; because you are human beings, and we Song people are human beings too. You want to live, and we also want to live; in other words, we are all victims of the war.
"If we die in battle, it will be to protect the Song Dynasty and to protect our wives and children. But what's the point of you being driven to death today?"
There was a roar of crows at the intersection of Dongjie Street where 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers and civilians gathered. The strong men of the Liao Kingdom seemed to have stopped moving. They lowered their heads and listened to the voice in their ears that echoed in the air and penetrated into their numb souls.
"You are forced to come to die because you have been abandoned by your emperor and nobles; they want to use the lives of your parents, brothers, wives and children to pave the way and continue their life of debauchery and pleasure; I cannot bear to kill you, if you
If you think you can easily win with the advantage of numbers, you are totally wrong; think about it, the horrific bombing over your imperial city a few days ago, our Song Dynasty has already mastered the ability to create two wings from the ribs, if I
Will you be able to survive if hundreds of airships are sent to bomb your heads? I'm afraid you will all be burned into charcoal, and you won't even have a chance to get close. But I didn't order it to be done, that's because, I am from the Song Dynasty
Adhering to the teachings of the saints, we will never kill indiscriminately and respect everyone's life; you can look at the people in Seoul. Although they are Han people, they are already your native Liao people. Have we ever killed any of them indiscriminately?
Any of them?"
"That's not all. I led my army to your territory. Although I destroyed many cities and plundered a lot of materials along the way, have you ever heard the rumors that my Song army massacred cities indiscriminately? No matter how far away, in
In Zuzhou, which is closest to you, we once flooded the whole city, but in the end we used boats and rafts to rescue all the people who were besieged by the water and resettle them. I believe you must know this."
There began to be buzzing whispers among the people. Zuzhou and Shangjing were very close to each other. After Zuzhou was captured, many refugees fled to the capital to seek relatives and friends. Naturally, the situation of the battle in Zuzhou was roughly summarized. Song people did
Didn't lie.
"But how did your own emperor, nobles and ministers treat you? Not only did they drive you to die, they even openly massacred their own parents, brothers and sisters. Most of you have seen it just now. We captured your
The queen and several princes and princesses of our country, but we treated each other with courtesy and no harm, and even kindly allowed your prince Yelu Hongji to meet and talk to them. However, Yelu Hongji actually killed his biological mother and his wife with a knife.
Younger brothers and sisters, what kind of animal behavior is this? The body and skin are affected by the parents. In order to save the parents from illness, the ancients did not hesitate to cut the flesh and administer medicine. Nowadays, among the people, "the parents are not far away" and "sell the body to bury the father" and other filial piety
I have heard a lot, but I have never heard of anyone killing his mother, brothers and sisters for his own selfishness. Are these beasts worthy of you giving your precious lives to give them a chance to live? This kind of people should deserve it.
Being cut into pieces with a thousand knives, thrown into the underworld and subjected to all kinds of torture, I advise you not to be confused anymore."
Each sound of advice is like a bolt of lightning tearing through the thick clouds. Although the ignorant wise cannot awaken immediately, they seem to get a moment of clarity when the lightning illuminates them.
