The rise of the prince

Chapter 802
When the sun rose again, the front of Shanhaiguan was already extremely noisy.

Black clouds are pressing down on the city, Jingguo's tens of thousands of troops in the west are ready to attack at any time, and Jing's army in the south has entered the city along the passageway at the top of the city without hindrance, and the encirclement has been formed.

Jing Jun's morale was high, and the top management finally recovered from the shock last night, ready to go all out to overcome the first level in the world.

Who would have believed that after a long and fruitless confrontation like this, the situation turned sharply in one day, so when he heard that the commander-in-chief attacked the city in the southern section with the method of attacking east and west, the army's respect and trust for him almost became desperate It seems that as long as they follow the coach, they can always win.

Wei Yubai was ready for the final general attack, and all kinds of siege equipment were laid out under the city. The four divisions of the new army no longer took turns to fight, but each was responsible for a section of the city wall.

Amidst the sound of the horn, the sky was full of flags, and the sun was covered by sand and dust. Since the confrontation, the new army has taken advantage of the guns and guns, and the new army has wiped out a large number of golden troops in the city.

But even under such conditions, the Jin army still showed terrifying fighting will and accomplishment. They waited against the city wall to avoid the guns of the new army. Withstood the offensive.

Although the losses were relatively heavy, the Jing army was never allowed to completely occupy the city wall during the long confrontation.

Even Yang Hongzhao, a veteran general, admired the Shanhaiguan guard very much when he talked about this matter, saying that he was astute and knowledgeable about soldiers, and had the air of a general.

Wei Yubai was also thinking in his heart, maybe he could talk to the guard at Shanhaiguan.

When they besieged the city, many soldiers of the Jin Army fled by falling into the wall at night. They caught a few and asked a lot of information, including the location of the camp in the city, and most of the escaped Khitans.

The Great Liao Kingdom was destroyed only a few years ago, and the Jurchens recruited a large number of Liao Kingdom troops, but not everyone was willing to serve them.

Especially when life and death were at stake, many Khitans defected, and according to their account, the Shanhaiguan guards were also Khitans and not Jurchens.

Yelu Dashi of the Khitan royal family has already surrendered to Jingguo, and Princess Yelu Yali of the royal blood will marry Huang Taisun, so he can be persuaded by reasoning that he may be able to surrender in Kaesong.

Wei Yubai was about to send an envoy first to explain the situation, and when Xiaozhi moved him with emotion, the gate of Shanhaiguan opened slowly.

The city gate, specially reinforced to defend against the Jingguo cannon, was extremely thick, opened slowly, and made a creepy rattling sound, which made one's teeth itch.

Everyone is puzzled, is the golden man ready to surrender?
Slowly, the iron cavalry of the Golden Army appeared in the city cave. They were fully clothed and walked out of the city slowly.

"No more than five hundred riders." Yang Hongzhao made a judgment immediately.

"What are they trying to do?" Yan Shen was puzzled. In front of them was the Jing Kingdom's tens of thousands of troops lined up neatly. The formation stretching for several miles was a huge monster in front of these Jin people. In contrast, the Jin people in front were nothing more than a thin strip Wire.

"Send someone over to pass the word that the general wants to talk to their general." Wei Yubai said.

Soon the messenger passed by, and the other party did not refuse.

The two sides raised their flags to avoid the battle, and then each retreated a hundred steps to express their agreement. Then the main generals rode forward and met in the open space between the two sides.

They have Wei Yubai, Yang Hongzhao, and Yan Shen on their side, and there are two people on the other side, one of them is wearing fine armor, and the other should be a person who can speak Chinese and act as an interpreter.

The two sides stopped about ten steps away from the horse's head.

"Yelu Tuohu, I have admired his name for a long time." Wei Yubai cupped his hands and said a nice word at the beginning. After all, if you want to win over, it's not wrong to say something nice first.

In fact, none of them had heard of Yelu Tuohu's name before, and he probably belonged to the kind of general who didn't show his great achievements.

The other party also spoke, speaking in an unintelligible Khitan language, but fortunately, the people around him translated and conveyed: "Everyone, don't need to say anything, I admire you so far. This time I am here to fight, let's fight to the death."

"General Yelu, Yelu Dashi, the great king of your Nanyuan, was conferred the title of King of Liao in Jingguo, and your princess Yelu Yali will be the concubine of Jingguo in the future. Are you still willing to sacrifice your life for the Jurchen?" Yang Hongzhao immediately took a step forward. Open your mouth.

"Surrender, we guarantee the safety of you and your soldiers, and we also guarantee that you will be treated kindly like Yelu Dashi, with official titles and salary.

The people of the Kingdom of Jin attacked your country and occupied your capital. There is blood and blood between you, so why serve them.

At this time, he changed his mind and this was not a breach of the oath, but revenge for the country and the family. "

Yang Hongzhao tried to untie the psychological burden for the guard in front of him. Of course, he was just trying. In this situation, they have no way out. If they don't know the current affairs, they will only die.

But if they surrendered, a battle would be avoided, and a lot of people would be killed (at this time, Yang Hongzhao and others did not know that most of the defenders in the city fled north overnight).

The other party was silent for a while after listening, then nodded and said something.

Seeing him nodding, the three thought it was a success, and he planned to surrender, but after the translation came, it was not at all.

"Thank you General Jingguo, I have betrayed my compatriots once, this time I will definitely not, I just want to see your coach before I die, it seems that he is not here, I am very sorry.

Please go back and prepare for battle."

After the translator beside him finished speaking, Yelv Tuohu nodded again, then turned and left.

The three of them looked at each other and hurried back to the army.

After a while, the sound of horns was heard from far below the city. Yelu Tuo put his last cavalry in order, drew out a long formation, and then accelerated slowly without fear of death, charging towards them.

Hundreds of cavalry rolled up the dust, trampled on the ground, and the whole world seemed to be shaking, with a tragic rush to death.

Yelutu's iron cavalry was just a thin line in front of the huge Jing army formation, even if they screamed and killed, they still couldn't make any waves.

Amidst the dense gunfire, the cavalry running at high speed were like felled wheat stalks, and quickly fell into the soil, gliding for a long distance under inertia, and everyone turned their backs on their backs, screaming again and again.
After a few rounds of shooting, the battlefield fell silent.

None of the hundreds of riders could get within fifty steps of the new army formation. The sun had only risen overhead, and the battle was over.

In the end, Yelu Tuohu, who had been shot dozens of times, was found among the dead. The whole body was almost beaten into a sieve. After discussing with Yang Hongzhao and Yan Shen, Wei Yubai decided not to take his head, and buried his whole body under the city wall of Shanhaiguan.

The city gate was not closed, so there was no obstacle to entering the city, and the army entered the city smoothly without any obstacle.

The city was in dilapidated condition, except for some wounded who were half dead and no one cares about them, there was no trace of anyone. After asking someone, I found out that Yelu Tuo had already ordered his men to flee north overnight with the remaining troops to prevent the two sides from being surrounded. .

Subsequently, most of the Third Division from the south also arrived to join forces with the main force.

When everyone saw Li Xingzhou, they all praised the commander in chief for his strategy and courage.

Then began to organize troops to chase the Jin army who fled last night to the north.

The chasing troops were dominated by cavalry troops of the Imperial Army and the New Army. They did not stop all the way, and they never left their saddles. Finally, they caught up with the rear army of the Jin Army. Most of them are on the road, and there is no chance to reach Ningyuan.
