Chapter 87
Yelu Hongji stood in the building, watching the Song army not far away busy and installing artillery. His face was as heavy as water and he didn't say a word.
Yelu Xiantong whispered: "Your Majesty, the Song army has brought so many cannons these days, and the people who come here are not good."
Yelu Hongji said: "So what if the person who came is not good? Now, it is nothing more than a battle with the Song army to the death. I don't believe that hundreds of thousands of troops will be ruined here! I sent people to Zhongjing a few days ago and ordered reinforcements to come. Is there any news?"
Yelu Xiantong said, "There is no news back. I am afraid that the messenger was captured by the Song army?"
Yelu Hongji shook his head: "I have sent seven or eight times, and there are always people to Zhongjing. Even if all the troops are sent, Zhongjing should send reinforcements. Without the army here, how can Zhongjing defend it?"
"Your Majesty is saying." Yelu Xiantong was also helpless. The situation is very obvious now. The Khitan was unable to break through, and the Song army could launch an attack at any time. Moreover, there was no food and grass transport in, and many Khitan troops began to kill horses and eat meat. If this continues, the combat power of the horse would be even worse. How can we break through?
Until now, Yelu Hongji couldn't see anything unusual and had been calm and calm. He just didn't know what he looked like when there was no one. Anyway, the ministers were already panicked and they all said anything.
The surrounding Song army surrounded the Khitan army tightly. No matter which direction the Song army broke through, there were Song dynasties.
After watching for a while, after falling from the building, Yelu Hongji returned to his handsome tent. He ordered someone to pick up the wine and drank alone in the handsome tent.
Yelu Fairy Tong returned to his commanding tent and looked at the door of the tent. He never expected that this war would be like this in the end. For more than two months, the Khitan had not won one game except for sneak attacking Quyang County because the magistrate escaped and won one game. Moreover, a Song Dynasty city was not broken, and all supplies must be transported here from the rear. Yelu Fairy Tong understood that the Khitan was exhausted when he reached this field. Yelu Hongji said that reinforcements were, did he believe it? Not to mention that there were no one in Zhongjing, even if there were people, they could not reach here.
I can't figure out how the Song army, which was looked down upon by the Khitans a few years ago, is now so capable? Although this war was initiated by the Khitans, it was suppressed by the Song army throughout the whole process. The early victory at the Qianning Army gave the Khitans an illusory imagination. Now, the Khitans can see that the kind of war actually helped the Song army train their teams.
Sighing, Yelu Xiantong looked outside the tent and was worried. He didn't know what he should do and what would happen. He only knew that the Khitan was probably over. A big country should not be defeated by a war. But this time, all the Khitan troops were surrounded by the Song army. Without these hundreds of thousands of people, the Khitan was equivalent to being confiscated and armed.
What will happen next? The Jurchens have rebelled, and the Tatars in the east may no longer be as obedient as before. There are also Dangxiang, Tuyuhun, and many tribes. The Khitan army was destroyed, so they will definitely not be able to defend themselves.
Perhaps, there is no need to think about them. The Khitan is difficult to protect itself now, so why do you think so far?
At this moment, the personal soldiers came in and bowed and said, "King, the Ten Gods Slave Kings are asking for a visit."
The Ten Gods Slave came in and bowed to Yelu Xiantong and said, "There is nothing to do with you, and you can't stay in your own tent. Come to the king and talk about some gossip."
Yelu Xiantong hurriedly gave up her seat and shook her head and said, "At this time, I don't even have tea here, so the king will take care of you."
The Ten Gods slave said, "Who is not like this after being surrounded for so many days? You're welcome, just gossip."
The two of them sat opposite each other and didn't know what to say for a moment. If you want to talk about war, there are only sad things now. If you talk about other things, you are surrounded here, how can you know what it looks like outside?
After a long time, the Ten Gods Slaughter sighed: "I have lived for decades, but I never expected that I would encounter this situation today. King, now hundreds of thousands of troops are surrounded and the food channels are cut off. What should I do? I can't just be here and starve to death by the Song army!"
Yelu Xiantong shook his head: "I have been by the Lord these days. Anyway, it seems that the Lord has nothing strange. People who have sent many rescues to Zhongjing Dao will always have news."
The Ten Gods slave said: "Now there are hundreds of thousands of Song troops outside. How many people can Zhongjing send? Can they break through the siege of the Song army? King, reinforcements are just tricks to deceive themselves. Could they really believe it? If this continues, I am afraid-"
"What are you afraid of?" After hearing the Ten Gods' words, Yelu Xiantong's expression suddenly became stern.
The Ten Gods Slave didn't care at all and said, "A few days ago, because of insufficient military rations and unstable morale in the army, more than 7,000 soldiers were killed. The so-called people were afraid of death but were afraid of death. Now the morale of the soldiers is not stable. I have received news that the soldiers are colluding with each other and intend to surrender to the Song army."
Yelu Xiantong said coldly: "I'm afraid that the signing army will rebel! If there is any abnormal movement, I'll just order someone to kill him."
The Ten Gods slave said, "I'm afraid it's not so easy. The lack of food in the army is the first thing that is to cut off the military rations. In the encirclement, there is no food. How could they not think about other things? At this time, killing is useless. Anyway, they will starve to death, so why are they afraid of beheading their heads?"
After hearing this, Yelu Xiantong said nothing. After a while, she sighed and said, "What we are saying is that the people are not afraid of death, but why are they afraid of death? Are we really at the end of our journey? How come the great powers in the world have reached this stage in just over two months!"
The Ten Gods Slave shook his head and didn't say anything for a moment. For many important Khitan officials, they wanted to ask, why did this battle be like this? For hundreds of years, the grassland people have gone south and even if they cannot win, they can retreat safely. To the grassland athletes south, it is like traveling. Why is it different this time? Not only can they not win, they can't even go back.
After a while, Yelu Xiantong said: "Maybe we didn't realize that the current Song army is different from before. They now use guns and cannons, and their commands are strict, and their combat power is not comparable before. When the two armies face each other, we are not their opponents now."
The Ten Gods Nu said, "Although I don't say it, everyone now understands that we can't defeat the Song army. Before the war started, I thought that I could be invincible when going south, but now it's really funny! At first, the Song army did not move, and I thought it was because I was afraid of us, so I attacked south with all my might. If we hadn't gone deeper here, how could we be blocked by the Song army!"
The two shook their heads and sighed. It was too late to know now. The Khitans' military advantages for many years made them psychologically feel that the Song army was not their opponent. If it weren't for the large number of people in the Central Plains and the large number of troops, they would not be able to do anything with brothers. They would not hit the wall and look back until the whole country was surrounded, and these Khitans realized that the Khitan army was no longer the opponent of the Song army.
After a while, the Ten Gods slave said, "King, there is no way out now. I heard from someone that it would be better to surrender to the Song Dynasty. What will happen to them? It's just that the brotherly country cannot be completed, and I will pay tribute to the Song Dynasty."
When Yelu Xiantong heard this, he couldn't help but change his face: "Don't say this kind of thing! The emperor is working hard and trying his best to find a way to break through! You and my ministers should do their best to assist the emperor!"
