Chapter 975: Battle Linhuang (9)
"Straight sissy thief! Vicious! Mahan scolded repeatedly, and rode up with his guards, Yelu Hongji did not hesitate, and after killing people, he turned around and fled, Mahan and the others ran more than ten steps away, and he had fled to the horses.
Seeing that the situation had changed, Yelu Hongji's entourage and soldiers in the rear also rushed forward, bending bows and shooting arrows to block the pursuit route of Ma Han and others, Ma Han waved his sword in his throat and wanted to chase, Su Jin quickly ordered them to stop the pursuit, so as not to cause casualties.
"This guy is so vicious, he even killed his own mother and younger brothers and sisters, damn it, it's really incredible." Mahan's lips turned blue with spittle.
"He doesn't want us to have the capital to blackmail him, this person is like iron, he is a character who is desperate for profit, and over time, it will become a big disaster." Su Jin said coldly.
"I'm really unwilling to let him go like this." Mahan Road.
"Don't worry, it's a way for him to do this, but it's not necessarily the best way, we lost the chess pieces we held hostage, but he killed his mother's brothers and sisters with his own hands, what will the soldiers and civilians of Liao think? We can't take advantage of that. ”
"How to use it?" Mahan didn't get it.
Su Jin snorted and said, "Try it, let's talk about it when we go back to the formation." ”
Yelu Hongji fled back to his own formation, got off his horse and sat on a big bluestone panting, and more than a dozen generals looked at him from afar, but none of them came to condole.
Yelu Hongji killed the queen mother and the princesses and princesses with his own hands, and his heart was a little empty, seeing Yelu Kanrong and the others respectfully staying away, his heart was a little angry, he stood up and walked over and shouted: "Don't you go and urge the strong men to attack, what are the pestles doing here?" Do you think I'm doing something wrong? ”
Yelu Kanrong's expression was indifferent, and he said lightly: "How dare the last general and others point out that His Highness is not." ”
"How dare you? …… Your expressions tell me clearly, are you blind? Didn't you see the Song people threatening us to surrender with the lives of the queen mother, princess, princess and ministers? I did this out of necessity, for the sake of the Great Liao Society, even if my father is here, he won't accuse me, do you understand? ”
The generals were still silent, with a clear expression of disdain on their faces, Yelu Kanrong said: "If the Song people want to coerce, we definitely can't agree, but if the queen, princess, princess and others die at the hands of the Song people, they have nothing to say, they are sacrificing their lives for the country; Moreover, it seems that we have taken drastic measures without the slightest effort to save them; We know what the prince thinks, but after all, the prince killed them in front of 10,000 people and the army, what do you teach them to think? ”
Yelu Hongji also remorseful, it seemed too arbitrary when he did it just now, indeed, since the Song people took them hostage, they would never kill them until the last moment, and he raised a knife to kill his mother and younger siblings in order not to be coerced, which was indeed too hasty.
At this moment, the guilt and fear after the murder of the mother struck together, and the generals and the soldiers and civilians looked at them with no respect except for fear and contempt, and all kinds of blows came to their hearts, Yelu Hongji's body was weak for a while, after all, he was a seventeen-year-old boy, and suddenly his emotions collapsed, and he covered his face in pain.
Yelu Kanrong sighed, although what the prince did was too shocking, but after all, for the sake of the current situation in Daliao, it was not easy for a young man to hold the current situation up, and let the enemy hold the queen and the princes and princesses hostage, how could this battle be fought?
"Your Highness, let's deal with the current crisis quickly, everything has been done, and it is useless to regret it now; The last general immediately went to the whole army and launched an attack. ”
Yelu Hongji stopped crying and sobbed: "The queen mother did not die at my hands, but at the hands of the Song people, after catching Su Jin, I will delay him for 7749 days and make him pay the price for everything he has done." ”
……
The Liao army gave the order to attack, driven by scimitars and spears, the people slowly poured towards the Song army's defense line like lambs to the slaughter, although more than 100,000 people did not have much combat power, but the power of impact and trampling alone was enough to make the Song army unable to eat and go around.
As the distance between the two sides gradually approached, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and thousands of bows and crossbows on the Song army's defense line had been wound with arrows, aimed at the Liao people who were surging in front, these driven people had already entered the firing range, and the Song people only needed to give an order, and thousands of people would immediately fall to the ground and die.
I don't know when, dozens of trumpet-shaped objects on the left side of the Song army's defense line near the roof were put on the ridge of the roof, and I didn't know that I thought it was some long-range attack weapon of the Song people, but in fact it was just a simple megaphone.
Su Jin stood on the top of a building in the direction of the main attack of the Liao army on Dongjie, holding a loudspeaker and began to shout loudly, every time he shouted, more than a dozen soldiers with loud voices around him would repeat a sentence in unison behind a larger loudspeaker, the purpose was to let everyone on the battlefield in front of him hear.
"Fathers and villagers of Liao, I am Su Jin, a Song person, and I am also the commander of the Song army in front of you, I have a few words from the bottom of my heart to talk to you fathers and villagers of Liao."
The sound of the loudspeaker suddenly sounding made the soldiers and civilians on the battlefield involuntarily stunned to listen, seeing that the two sides were about to fight, this Su Jin said something in his heart, but it was a little different.
"The reason why my Great Song army appeared in Shangjing, the capital of your country, is not that my Song people are warlike, but that they are forced to be helpless; Song Liao since the alliance of the Yuanyuan, decades as a country of brothers, the two sides respect each other, mutual benefit, our Song people love peace, in order to maintain this peaceful coexistence relationship, even willing to give your country every year coins, silk, tea and other materials, but also open the border forests, for your country to cut down and graze, it can be said that it is benevolent and righteous. Su Jin said in a loud voice.
"What is this kid farting? Quickly drive the strong men to break through the enemy's defenses, and don't listen to their nonsense. Yelu Hongji saw that not only the strong men began to slow down, but even many of the soldiers hiding behind were listening attentively and scolding urgently.
The generals around him immediately conveyed the order to the generals of the various battlefields, and the soldiers hurriedly shouted loudly to drive the strong men to speed up their pace.
The indomitable voice still echoed in the air, muffling out the noise of the owl: "...... Your country brazenly mobilized 700,000 troops to attack our northern frontier, and our Great Song Dynasty naturally could not sit idly by and watch it perish, so in addition to frontal resistance, I also volunteered to form this expeditionary force to enter your territory to disturb you, which is really a helpless move; Because you are human beings, we Song people are also human beings, you want to live, we also want to live; In other words, we are all victims of war; If we die in battle, it will be to protect the Great Song Dynasty and protect our wives and children, but what is the point of you being driven to death today? ”
The entrance of Dongjie, where seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and civilians had gathered, was silent, and the strong men of the Liao Kingdom seemed to have stopped moving, they hung their heads, listening to the voice in their ears echoing in the air, crashing into their numb souls.
"You have been compelled to come and die, because you have been abandoned by your emperor and nobles; They will pave the way with the lives of your parents, brothers, wives and children, and continue their lives of pleasure and pleasure. I can't bear to kill you, and if you think you can easily win by virtue of your numbers, you are very mistaken; Think about it, the terrifying bombing over your imperial city a few days ago, our Great Song Dynasty has already mastered the ability of the wings of the ribs, if I send hundreds of airships to bomb over your heads, will you survive? I'm afraid you'll all be burned to charcoal, and you won't even have a chance to get close, but I didn't order to do that, because I, the Song people, uphold the precepts of the saints, never kill indiscriminately, and respect everyone's life; You can look at the people in Seoul, although they are Han Chinese, they are already your native Liao, have we killed any of them indiscriminately? ”
"Not only that, I led the army into your realm, although I destroyed a lot of cities and looted a lot of materials along the way, but have you ever heard the rumors that my Song army slaughtered the city indiscriminately? Far away, in the nearest ancestral state, we flooded the whole city, but in the end we rescued all the people besieged by water on rafts and settled down, and I am sure you must know about it. ”
There began to be a buzz among the people, Zuzhou and Shangjing gathered very closely, after Zuzhou was captured, many refugees fled to the capital to join relatives and friends, the situation of the battle of Zuzhou naturally also said a rough idea, the Song people did not lie.
"But what did your own emperors, nobles, and ministers do to you? Not only did they drive you to death, but even their own parents, brothers and sisters were openly slaughtered, and most of you have already seen it just now, we captured the queen of your country and several princes and princesses, but we treated each other with courtesy, without any harm, and even kindly let your prince Yelu Hongji meet with them to talk, but Yelu Hongji actually killed his own mother and younger brothers and sisters with a knife, what kind of beastly behavior is this? The parents of the body and skin, the ancients did not hesitate to cut the flesh and drugged in order to save the disease of their parents, that is, at present, the folk 'parents are not far away', 'selling their bodies to bury their fathers' and other filial piety have also been heard of, I have not heard of someone who killed his mother and brothers and sisters for his own selfishness, such beasts are worthy of your precious life for them to win a chance to live? This kind of person should be cut into the Yin Division by a thousand knives and tortured endlessly, I advise you, don't be confused anymore. ”
A voice of persuasion is like a bolt of lightning tearing through the thick clouds, although the ignorant wisdom cannot be awakened immediately, but in the moment of lightning, they also seem to get a moment of clarity.
