Chapter 100 Do you want to drop too?
Seeing the Xi people's position on the right lowering the flags and the Song army in front stopped artillery fire, Yelu Hongji said in shock: "Have the Xi people surrendered?"
Yelu Xiantong hurriedly called to visit the horse and immediately went to visit. Once the Xi people surrendered, the right wing of the central army was exposed and the impact would be greatly affected.
Soon after, he came back from the horse and reported that the Xi people had surrendered. Under the surveillance of the Song army, the Xi people were moving north to Wuqing.
Yelu Fairy Tong sighed, returned to Yelu Hongji, and bowed, "Your Majesty, Xi Maliu has surrendered. Now the Xi people are heading to the north of Wuqing, and the only position is left there. In this way, our right wing will be completely exposed to the Song army. What should we do?"
Yelu Hongji was silent for a while and said sternly: "Appoint Yelu Yixin and immediately send someone to block the right wing. The front attacks the Song army's artillery position, so stop first. Just keep it and wait until it gets dark before we find a way!"
Yelu Fairy Tong responded and went there in a hurry.
Yelu Hongji looked at the sun above his head, and then at the battlefield filled with smoke in front of him, with a heavy face. He was not a fool, so he naturally knew that the reform and destruction of the Khitan was now a foregone conclusion. However, it would be impossible for him to surrender to the Song army like Xi Maliu. Even if all the Khitans died on the battlefield, he would not surrender. As a great country in the world, Yelu Hongji had this ambition.
But what should I do if I don’t surrender? Yelu Hongji didn’t know. The so-called waiting until night is just a talk. So what if I wait until night? Will the Song army still give up a way to let the Khitans leave safely? With the current lack of food and clothing for the Khitans, the Song army really gives up a way out. Where can the Khitans go? Youzhou and Pingzhou have all been lost, and the Khitan army cannot go back.
Xi Maliu led his army to the north of the city, surrounded by Zhang Yu's cavalry, so he watched it firmly. Now the war is constantly going on in front of him, and he has no energy to deal with them. He can only transport food first and let Xi Maliu take care of his subordinates' meals. Everything will be discussed after the war.
Seeing the soldiers busy there, the general Song Hao in charge said, "King, I still have some wine and meat here, you can eat some. As long as the soldiers are quiet and don't cause trouble, this battle will be over for you. However, if someone causes trouble, don't blame us for being harsh."
Xi Maliu thanked quickly and said, "At this point, as long as you keep your life, it is a blessing. Who will cause trouble? Don't worry, general, the men have been tired of fighting this battle, and it is best to be able to end it."
Song Hao nodded and ordered his subordinates to send wine and meat to Xi Maliu for him to enjoy it himself.
Xi Maliu had not had enough food for more than a few days, and when he saw the wine and meat, he was extremely excited. He didn't care about the indecentness in other people's eyes, so he started to enjoy it on the roadside. After taking a few bites, he raised his head and saw the Xi people on the side looking at him, and couldn't help but sigh.
How could I imagine that this battle will be like this in the end?
The rice was sent, and the soldiers were there to set fire and cook. The rest of them squatted or sat on the ground, watching. It was winter now, and the ice on the ground had not melted and was extremely cold. However, the soldiers suffered too much these days, and they didn't care and just sat there.
The weapons had been taken away by the Song army, and these people had completely lost their fighting spirit. Now the only thing that attracted them was a bite of hot rice.
On the left wing, Ma Huaide stood on the tower and watched the war ahead. Gu Ni and Dielide were both defeated players under their command, and today there was Jingtai assist in the north, so they were not opponents at all. But the Song army did not want to fight desperately, but kept slowly moving the artillery position to ensure the artillery fire. The attack speed was not fast. Ma Huaide himself estimated that it would be possible to completely compress the Khitan army formation to the range of artillery fire in about one hour. At that time, the Song army would just fire artillery. Even the Khitans could not withstand the artillery fire.
Li Weixian came over, went up to the looking building, and said to Ma Huaide: "Taiwei, the Xi people on the right wing have surrendered."
Ma Huaide was shocked: "I surrendered? The Xi people really can't fight! How many times have they been? They surrendered in less than half a day!"
Li Weixian said: "What can I do if the Khitans do not surrender today? Until now, only Yelu Hongji's army in the middle organized an attack. As a result, he crashed into the army formation of the thunder chariot. He did nothing and disappeared after thousands of people."
Ma Huaide smiled and said, "Those Khitans are really unlucky. Attacking other places, they will fight a war. Are they not trying to kill themselves when they attack Pili? The Khitans in front of us have no choice but to just die there. In my opinion, it will be almost done in another hour."
Li Weixian said: "Yes. They dare not attack. If the artillery is in place, they can only get shot. This way of fighting will not work for any army."
The Song army had sufficient artillery and ammunition, and after compressing the Khitan army, it was not difficult to bombard them all with artillery. In the battle of hundreds of thousands of people, the Song army basically had no losses and won a complete victory. I would like to mock it. However, the loss ratio of cold weapons to guns and cannons was like this. In the past, when the Song army was not trained enough and had no experience, there were still some contacts. The Song army was proficient and could not fight this battle.
In the Khitan military camp, Gu Ni leaned against the door of his military camp, sat in a slanted position on a chair, lowering his head, and saying nothing. He let the artillery fire outside be filled with smoke, as if he had not heard it.
Pugu came over and said with his hands: "General, the Song army's artillery is fierce and getting closer, so it is not a solution to continue like this."
Gu Ni raised his head and said lazily: "What should I do?"
Pu Gu was stunned for a moment before saying, "Now it is surrounded by the Song army on all sides, which is really hard to deal with. Today, the Song army in the south has been fighting for dozens of days, and it is not their opponent. In addition, the Song army in the north is in a worrying situation."
Gu Ni said, "Yes, the situation is worrying. Am I worried here? Today is a dead situation, so why bother to struggle? Just wait until the Song army attacks. At that time, it is time to kill or capture, let them be allowed."
Gu Pu said: "Are you just here watching the Song army attack? You have to think of some solutions!"
Gu Ni said angrily: "If you have a solution, I will send someone to do it immediately. Do you have it?"
Pu Gu shook his head: "The two armies have fought for dozens of days but have no choice. I am anxious, how can I come up with a countermeasure."
"Isn't that all!" Gu Ni spread his hands. "There was no choice but to wait for death here. I knew that Song Jun used guns and cannons, but I felt that they were not very powerful, and there was always a way to deal with them. As a result, after a fight, I realized that it was not the case at all. They could hit us with guns and cannons from afar. We could not get close to them with swords and guns, so how could we fight this battle!"
Pugu looked at Gu Ni in a daze, knowing that he was telling the truth, and this battle was really impossible. But just staying honestly and waiting for the enemy to kill his army with shells is not a solution.
At this moment, Tu Guci hurried over. After looking at the two of them, he said, "The Xi man on the right has already surrendered!"
Gu Ni stood up suddenly and said, "Did you read it wrong? If the Xi tribe has more than 80,000 people, if they surrender, the right wing of the emperor will be exposed to the Song people! At that time, the Song army set up a cannon on the right side again, how can we stop it?"
Tuguci said: "Of course there is nothing wrong! I can see clearly from a high place that the Xi people have arrived in the north of Wuqing City, and their positions have all become Song people. The Song army is setting up artillery there, preparing to bombard our central army!"
Gu Ni looked at Pu Gu, and after a while, he said, "After they surrender, is there any movement in the central army?"
Tu Guci said: "What can happen? It's just to send people to defend the right wing. The Song army attacking the central army had dozens of iron chariots in front of them, which were completely invulnerable to swords and guns. There were cannons on the iron chariot, which was the most powerful. The central army itself was overwhelmed, so there was no spare time to care about anything else."
Gu Ni nodded and pondered there. After a while, he said to the two: "Today's life can only be surrender. The Xi people have surrendered. Do you think we should surrender too?"
