Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight God bless Daliao(1/2)

Di Yong entered the formation, and Shi Honglei also entered the formation, one east and one west, one left and one right, directly into the Liao people's formation.

This made Gan Qi extremely anxious because it would bring about a problem, that is, there would be no chaotic battles in a moment. If the time was a little longer, the two sides would be intertwined. After the intertwined, the artillery would have to stop.

If it is constantly bombarded, there will be almost no difference, and countless Song soldiers will fall under their own artillery.

No matter how cruel Gan Qi is, he will have a huge psychological burden when killing his own people with his own hands. This is different from ordering soldiers to charge forward. Soldiers to charge forward is their duty and they should do, and between life and death, it is the matter of both the enemy and us.

If one is his own person killing oneself, that is really a different matter.

So Ganqi, who was anxious, kept shouting: "Come on fire, hurry up."

Not only did Gan Qi shout, he also came forward to help himself, picked up the gunpowder barrel and poured it into the barrel. The specific weight was not enough, it was all based on the feeling. Just a little more. After the gunpowder was poured in, a soldier would poke it into the barrel with a wooden stick wrapped in cloth in front of his head. The compacted gunpowder must be stuffed in some paper balls and ripped it into the barrel to increase the air tightness before it would be stuffed into the projectile.

The bombardment started again. The Liao people in the distance fell into pieces again. Gan Qi was looking forward to it, hoping that the canopy would collapse.

Unfortunately, the Huagai still did not fall, swaying, but still stood on the spot.

Symbolism is extremely important for a group. For the Liao army, the canopy symbolizes many things, and for the Song army, Ganqi, wearing golden armor, also represents many things. For a group of people, the flag also represents many things.

When it becomes this symbol, there will undoubtedly be huge risks. Ganqi chose the risk and also the symbol. This is Ganqi's choice. Because becoming a symbol is too important for Ganqi, he tried his best to manage himself into this symbol.

The Huagai, or the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, did not wear golden armor because the Huagai represented majesty, just like a towering palace, representing the emperor's supreme authority.

At this moment, at some point, victory was so close to Ganqi that Ganqi personally operated the cannon again and again, looking forward to the moment of the lottery draw like a lottery draw. So much so that Ganqi forgot that the cannon could really explode the chamber, and it might blow him to death after the chamber was blown up.

But Gan Ba ​​never spoke to persuade Gan Qi. Perhaps he had never had the habit of persuading Gan Qi not to do anything. He just stayed by the side. Whenever Gan Qi ignited the fire again and took a few steps back, Gan Ba ​​would erect the big wooden shield in front of Gan Qi.

Perhaps if Di Yong was here, he would persuade Gan Qi, or even sacrifice his life to drag Gan Qi backwards.

In the north city, there were 30,000 Liao cavalrymen, all of whom were off the horse. There were hundreds of long ladders. There were actually not many people who were 30,000, but the Liao people only brought so many.

The siege battle began immediately, and there was no time for the private to set up their formation. From the moment they dismounted, all the Liao people rushed to the city wall. Ten thousand people came from above. When they saw the Liao cavalry appear, they were already facing a great enemy.

There is no new trick to attacking the city and defending the city. This is like this in the Great Wall, this is like this in Gubei, and this is like this in Datong. The wooden forks push out on the long ladder, rolling stones, and all the heavy objects that can be moved down. A little tincture oil pours down in a moment. There is not enough tincture oil, and the golden juice comes to make up, and the boiled golden juice continues to sprinkle it down.

The hot excrement was smelly, making the Liao people wail.

There are many people in Liao who have the possibility of winning, and there are even many.

For example, when the southern city was captured, 30,000 Liao people entered the city and rushed north, instantly attacking the Song army inside and outside the city wall. When the city gate was opened, tens of thousands of Liao people easily entered the city. Although the Song army was a large number at that time, they would immediately lose their power. The Song army would also turn from an organized group to an individual, and victory would not be far away.

For example, the emperor suddenly returned to his destiny and rushed to the front line with the canopy. For a moment, his morale was greatly boosted, and he rushed to the city wall with bullets.

If the emperor had a way to quickly pass through the crowd to the front line, it would be safer, because Ganqi's artillery could shoot hundreds of steps, but not one or two hundred steps. If the cannon wanted to hit a close distance of one or two hundred steps, it would be difficult.

Either placing the tail of the gun mount high so that the muzzle is facing downward, but this posture will obviously be unstable. Or placing the muzzle directly at a large angle to make the parabola of the projectile higher. Once the parabola is higher than a certain degree, the range will become shorter. For example, the cannon is at a right angle to the ground, and the shell will hit it and then fall down on the spot. This is the principle.

However, this kind of operation is difficult to work in reality. Whether it is a down angle or a huge elevation angle, human-controlled artillery giants are difficult to stabilize.

It’s a pity that the Liao people did not realize this, and it was safer to let the emperor and Huagai go to the front line. Because in the Liao people’s consciousness, artillery seemed to be far and near, and going forward would only be more dangerous. If you were bombarded a few more times, Yelu Yixin and others would definitely understand this truth, but it was the first time they were bombarded and they never turned around.

Yelu Hongji walked around in the crowd, and even Yelu Yixin kept ordering the people surrounding him to scatter, and the canopy came and went, dodging shells everywhere.

Things like lottery are due to luck, but also to probability. As long as there are enough times, you can always win.

What's more, hundreds of cannons were going to hit a canopy with such an obvious target? When Gan Qi kept firing at the canopy, the other side did not receive the order of fifty cannons. After watching several rounds, he finally understood and knew where his target was.

Round after round of shelling, until the eighth round, Ganqi finally got the shot.

The canopy fell down in response to the sound and shattered.

Gan Qi was so excited that he roared angrily, and he shouted: "The Emperor of Liao is dead, and you all have great achievements, rewards, and rewards."

The gunners on both sides were still looking at each other. Is the Liao emperor dead? Just like that?

Then a huge cheer burst out: "Roar!!! The Liao emperor is dead!"

Gan Qi suddenly turned around and ordered everyone: "Everyone shouted, all shouted, the Liao emperor is dead, shout!"

The shouting was even more shocking, but it was just a mess, but it was impossible to hear what the shouting was.

Ganqi hurriedly pressed his arm: "Stop, stop, stop, stop, listen to my order."

Gan Qi pressed his arm for a long time before stopping the shouting, which shows how difficult it is to command a group of people.

"Listen to my order, I called the Liao emperor to death by cannons. I count one, two, three, and you will shout together. Prepare... one, two, three, and shout together!" Gan Qi's commander of more than one hundred thousand people did such a thing.

"The Liao emperor was killed by cannon!"

"The Liao emperor was killed by cannon!"

Countless Song soldiers turned around and looked at the city wall. They were stunned at first, then excited one after another, and shouted one after another. This excitement was beyond words, because this news meant that the fierce battle seemed to be finally over.

Many Liao people also looked back, because there were many Liao people who could understand Chinese. In the Liao Kingdom for more than 100 years, the Han people and the Khitans lived in a mixed relationship. There were many Khitan people who could understand Chinese, and there were even Han people in the Liao army.

Disguised form has been born.

The canopy was gone, it was really gone. The artillery continued. Originally, the artillery was moving north, which relieved countless pressure on the front line, causing many Liao people to gather together again. The canopy entered the formation and gave morale to the army. The Liao army that had gathered again began to move forward again.

Looking back, Huagai is really gone, and the emperor who is encouraging morale is gone?

"Impossible, how could His Majesty the Emperor die?" The generals shouted, the more the generals were, the more they could understand Chinese. Their shouts seemed confident, but they were indeed confident. The more uncertain they were, the more they had to be confident, and the more they had to appease the morale of the army.

"Forward, forward, your Majesty will not die!"

"Your Majesty will definitely not die!"

"The Emperor of Liao was killed by cannons!" The shouts of the Song people became louder and louder, more and more people joined the ranks of shouting.

The soldiers of the Song people seemed to have suddenly had chicken blood. They were still retreating just now, but they began to move forward in an instant.

Among the countless Liao troops, an old man suddenly stood up from his horse's back and shouted loudly: "I am here, I am not dead, I am here!"

Yelu Yixin also stood up from the horse's back and shouted: "Your Majesty is here, Your Majesty is here, your Majesty is here, boys, rush up!"

The shelling came again, and Yelu Yixin stood up very straight and did not hide: "Your Majesty is here!"

Yelu Hongji went down, but was pulled down by Yelu Renxian and a group of guards, with countless wooden shields covered with them.

The Song cavalry, like a sharp blade, penetrated into the Liao wings and continued to attack forward.

The whole place is no longer described, there is only one word chaos.

A mess.

The shelling finally stopped. Because Di Yong and Shi Honglei's two teams of cavalry were already too deep into the formation, the cannon could not be set off anymore, otherwise it would have beaten their own people to the point of overturning the horse.

Gan Qi left the cannon, but did not enter the city tower again, but reached the battlement before the city tower, climbed the battlement, and stood up high.

Countless cowhide drums were behind him.

He wanted all the soldiers in the place to see him, and he was standing at the mercedes in golden armor.

The golden armor held a spear and kept pointing forward. He could still see the golden armor shouting. Although most people could not hear the shouting, they seemed to feel the voice of Gan Xianggong inspiring the soldiers to bravely.

Gan Xianggong is inspiring the soldiers to move forward, forward, and forward again.

Gan Xianggong seemed to be saying: "My sons and brothers, defeat the Liao people, give them great rewards, land, money and food."

What exactly is Gan Xianggong talking about is not important anymore.

"Brothers, rush, follow me, the Liao emperor is dead, the Liao people are about to run away..." The generals were also shouting.

"Pretty, the Liao people are going to run away. Kill one more is one, and rewards are indispensable for Mr. Gan!"

The Khitans face to face, resisting the charge of the Song people, looked back and saw that they really wanted to see the emperor. Many people had really seen the emperor. They just wanted to know if the emperor was really dead, because Huagai was really gone.

The Song army's flags could be seen everywhere, from front, back, left and right, and the Song army had even appeared in the formation.

"Your Majesty the Emperor should not die! Yes, Your Majesty the Emperor will definitely not die!" Countless Liao people comforted themselves in this way, but they turned back to see them frequently.

Countless Song people moved forward step by step, shouting excitedly and shouting and killing each other, one after another.

Decline and failure, two different words, are a change of will.

Such a bloody battle is a competition of will.

Decline and failure are the difference between one word, the details change subtlely, and the overall changes are significant.

Every military man may not feel that it is the high-ranking Gan Qi. He can see at a glance. He watched the front line push forward at a speed visible to the naked eye. He watched groups of Liao people still fighting bloody battles, but retreating step by step.

This is not a chain reaction after a military man suddenly collapses his will, but a whole effect.

No military man suddenly shouted "I won't beat you anymore" and then ran away, because whenever he shouted this sentence, he would be stabbed by someone to turn around.

Even most military men thought they did not believe the news that the emperor was dead, but they still couldn't help but look back and look around, to see what their comrades around them had their opinions or expressions.

The golden armor of Gan Xianggong was still standing on the mercedes, still shouting hard, constantly waving his spears. He also summoned a sporadic arrow to shoot from afar, but it was too far away. Before the end of the powerful crossbow, Gan Qi did not avoid it, nor could he avoid it, and still shouted that the swinging spear was also the sporadic force crossbows coming from afar.

The sensitive Yelu Yixin stood on the horse and clearly felt the change. He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't believe the rumors of the Song people. Your Majesty is here, go forward, go forward."

Going forward, going forward, everyone around Yelu Yixin could hear his shouts, and even wanted to strive forward. But that's all.

This is the situation, there has not been a defeat yet, and the decline is no longer reversed.

The Song army was fighting hard, and the Liao army was fighting hard.

Di Yong kept going deep into the enemy formation. Even though the knights around him were carried by the Liao people and threw them to the ground, he still looked forward and said from time to time: "Follow up, keep up."

Time turned the sun red, and it was approaching the end of the mountains and rivers, and a ray of blood shone out.

The situation was over, and Yelu Yixin stood on the horse with a hoarse throat, watching with his own eyes the painful process of a group of lions turning into a group of sheep.

Yelu Yixin turned his head and looked at the emperor, saying in a hoarse and painful voice: "Your Majesty, let's retreat to Linhuang Mansion!"
