Chapter 104 Finally Descending
Seeing the fire in front of him sparsely, Yelu Xiantong let out a breath. His butt was burning and still hurt. At this moment, he felt that he had no strength.
After entering the commander's tent, Yelu Xiantong bowed: "Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty has allowed us to surrender. The artillery fire of the Song army opposite has stopped and ordered us to go out in sequence. However, the artillery fire of the army next to us has not stopped. If we do not go out in time, there will still be danger here."
Yelu Hongji stood up and said, "Okay, you recruit your personal soldiers, and we will go out now. Go and order Yelu Yixin to quickly lead the palace army and all of them out. They are elite soldiers in the palaces and should not be lost here for nothing."
Yelu Xiantong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't say anything, just bowed his hands to say yes.
Yelu Hongji decided to surrender, and after sitting in the tent of Yinjing, he recovered quickly. Judging from his appearance, wasn't he still thinking about going back? Not to mention him, these elite soldiers of the palace army, I'm afraid that the Song army would not be able to put them back. However, Yelu Xiantong did not say it. He was injured and felt sad. He really had no energy to talk to Yelu Hongji.
After leaving the tent, Yelu Xiantong said to the Ten Gods slaves: "Is it because he has never seen Yelu Yixin's shadow? Is it because he has encountered an accident?"
The Ten God Nu curled his lips disdainfully: "Yi Xin Jing is like a ghost. Why would something happen if something happens? No matter what, we send some personal soldiers to inform others, and it would be better to leave here early. The Song army's cannon in front stopped, but there was no other place. One is not good, and the shells hit the body and the result of their lives. Wouldn't it be a ghost that was unjustly dead?"
Yelu Xiantong said: "We must wait for the priest first for such a big thing. We will leave without authorization. What should the priest do?"
The Ten Gods Slave shook his head slightly and said nothing. But he said in his heart, when has it been, Yelu Hongji is putting on airs, why should others cooperate with him? He has surrendered, does he think he is still the emperor? When he arrived at the Song army, he still doesn't know what happened.
After a while, he saw Yelu Hong coming out. He actually changed into a new dress and cleaned it, as if he was going to go to court. When Yelu Xiantong and the Ten God Nu met, they both complained in their hearts, but they didn't say anything, so they went forward to salute.
He ordered his personal soldiers, Yelu Fairy Tong, Ten Gods Nu, and some ministers near the commander's tent to walk towards the Song army. He saw that the Song army in front of him were all holding muskets and staring at him with a shaky bayonet. Everyone was actually a little scared.
When he arrived in front of the Song army, a general stood there and bowed to everyone: "Chen Ziyuan, please wait here for you under the orders of the two Grand Marshals. Follow me and go to see the Grand Marshal. There must be no abnormal movement on the road, otherwise there will be no swords and guns!"
Yelu Hongji looked unhappy and didn't say anything. Yelu Xiantong, who was on the side, hurriedly replied, and took someone to follow Chen Ziyuan forward.
Soon, we arrived at a clearing area. A large number of soldiers came here. When they saw the Khitans coming, they came up and asked about their names and official positions. Someone next to them held paper and pens and recorded them one by one. All senior officials went to one side, while the rest were taken to the other side.
Yelu Hongji said unhappily: "What are you doing? As long as I say something, they will naturally do things as they order!"
Chen Ziyuan looked at Yelu Hongji and said, "It is different from the past. Now you are prisoners of war, so of course you have to listen to our orders. Even if you give the order, who dares to listen? I will cut his head with one knife! Long-lasting!"
After saying that, he said to the officer around him: "Take these people quickly to Taiwei Dou! If there is any trouble, kill them without mercy!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked someone to take Yelu Hongji and his officials and leave.
Yelu Hongji was furious and was about to lose his temper. When Yelu Xiantong saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly grabbed Yelu Hongji and signaled him not to speak. Now he has become a prisoner of war, and people are the peddlers, and I am the fish and meat, so why are there any emperor's airs? The shaky sword and gun are beside him, so Mingzhe will protect himself.
Soon, Yelu Hongji and a group of ministers moved forward and arrived in front of Dou Shunqing and Liu Jianji.
Seeing everyone coming, Dou Shunqing bowed: "Thank you all the hard work! When you get here, it's safe."
Yelu Hongji said coldly: "I am the Khitan Emperor. Even if I surrender today, I will not insult me! What is your identity?"
Dou Shunqing smiled slightly: "Dou Shunqing is the commander of the army here. Since he is the lord of the Khitan Kingdom, there is no need to delay here. Let's go to the city. The commander of this dynasty will accompany the emperor to wait in the city."
Yelu Hongji was stunned: "It turns out that the Southern Dynasty ruler was in charge of the army? There is no news in the military camp these few days."
Dou Shunqing said: "You are right. The emperor did go to Wuqing to personally fight. I am busy with trouble, so I won't talk to you anymore."
After saying that, he sent a commander, led one hundred soldiers, and rushed Yelu Hongji and a group of Khitan ministers to enter the city quickly. He and Liu Jianji both wanted to maintain the situation here and could not leave for a while. Nearly 200,000 Khitans surrendered, and the establishment had been disrupted, which was not a trivial matter.
Seeing that he was treated with a sluggish attitude, Yelu Hongji's face was as deep as water. Fortunately, Yelu Xiantong persuaded him to stop, but he did not attack and followed the Song army to Wuqing City.
Seeing everyone leaving, Liu Jianji said, "Look at the Khitan Emperor, he seemed to be dissatisfied. If he had backbone, he would simply not surrender and see what would happen in the end. When our shells were transported, we would still feel a little loss if we didn't shoot them all out."
Dou Shunqing said: "How many things are we going to do, and there is no time to get angry with him. Let him go to the city to meet the Grand Marshal. The matter is no longer with us, and it is easy. There are 200,000 people in the opposite military camp, and there are less than a thousand people out now. I don't know when it will end."
Liu Jianji said: "I have been fighting for most of the day. How many people can there be left? Today we fired a lot of shells, and it should have killed a lot of them."
Dou Shunqing shook his head: "That's not the case. If the army gathered into a military formation, of course there would be many people killed by artillery shells. But the Khitan army on the opposite side had already dispersed and they were hiding themselves. It would be hard to say how many people were killed."
The two chatted there, and if there was no entry, a senior Khitan official came, he sent someone to take him into the city. The rest of the Khitan army also ordered people to watch the designated place outside the city. It was getting late, and the Song Dynasty prepared rice and firewood and asked them to cook their own rice.
These Khitans were so hungry that they fought over each other as soon as they saw rice. Fortunately, the Song army was suppressing each other and no major events occurred.
Yelu Hongji, Yelu Xiantong, Ten God Nu and others entered Wuqing City and saw soldiers standing on both sides of the road. They all held muskets and had bright bayonets on them, which looked very powerful. Outside the army, there were people standing there watching the fun. When they saw Yelu Hongji, the people cheered.
When Yelu Hongji saw that these people were applauding him for being captured, he was furious. However, he saw that the soldiers on the roadside looked serious and the muskets in his hands were a little scary, so he forced himself to suppress them and did not get angry.
Yelu Xiantong was injured on his butt. He walked along the way and sweated coldly all over his body, feeling that he had no strength at all. Fortunately, the Ten Gods slaves around him saw that he looked wrong and reached out to support him, and then he walked all the way.
When we arrived at the county government gate, the escort commander ordered everyone to wait here and report it themselves.
