back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 480 Decline Again, Exhausted Three Times
Xiao Hu Jian, who was beside Yelu Chongyuan, was riding a tall horse, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you rush to the palace?"

Yelu Chongyuan said: "I have already ordered Xiao Ge, the Prime Minister of the Northern Mansion, to lead troops to attack the palace gate. The palace gate was broken earlier, and it was supposed to be blocked with some wood. Just keep the offensive, and the Luanhe Palace has entered the valley."

Xiao Hu Jian said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the prime minister of the Beifu alone will not be able to do it. How about sending the King of the South Court and the King of the North Court to fight together so that we can achieve full success?"

Yelu Zhongyuan thought about it, and it was the same reason.They are either successful or benevolent now, and they have reached this point, so what is left behind!Yelu Zhongyuan immediately said: "Alright, let them go together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yelu Chongyuan caught a glimpse of the person he least wanted to see appearing on the upper floor of the Luanhe Palace, Mr. Yelu Ren.I saw him shouting loudly: "I am the privy envoy of the South Court. All the palace tent troops listen to my orders and gather in front of the palace gate!"

The soldiers beside him also shouted, "With the backbone, the palace tent army will be different immediately, rushing towards the Luanhe palace in a swarm, no matter how fierce the rebels behind are biting, they will retreat in front of the palace gate without hesitation." .The arrows on both sides kept flying randomly, and from time to time, some people fell off their horses and were trampled into flesh.In the light of the fire, Yelu Zhongyuan's face was ashen, and he said through gritted teeth: "All of them will rush up to me, whoever captures Yelu Hongji alive will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold, and he will be crowned king by cracking the earth!"

With heavy rewards, the rebels fought bravely one by one.Yeluta also watched the palace tent soldiers being shot to death one by one by random arrows, and he was so angry that he was so angry: "Father, please allow me to fight!"

Yeluren shook his head calmly first, and said: "No, the Han people have a book called "Zuo Zhuan", which contains a story about Duke Zhuang of Lu resisting the attack of Qi State, and a man named Cao GUI led the army. He said that after a vigorous effort, it will decline again and again, and then Qi will be defeated. In the same way, despite the menace of the rebels, they are actually just the last of their strength. Look at the number of their torches, but only a few tens of thousands We have [-] palace tent troops, and [-] royal tent cavalry, so why be afraid of the rebels? The reason why the rebels rushed to the palace in a decisive battle was because they knew that once their momentum weakened, they would Defeated. In my opinion, their fierce attack will not last long. When they are discouraged, we will attack again, and we will be able to make great achievements in one fell swoop. Now I will order you to go to the palace gate and make the sons carry the palace gate Form an array, don't fight without my order!"

Yeluta didn't know that he was far inferior to his father in terms of anticipating the enemy first, so he immediately obeyed his orders and left.After all, the palace tent army is the elite of the Liao Kingdom. Once the dragons have a leader, they will not be able to match the rebel army.I saw that Yeluta also carried out the military order very well, and ordered the Liao soldiers to surround the palace gate and unite in battle.A shield made of thick wood covered with cowhide to resist the flow of arrows.Despite the onslaught of the rebels, they could not move forward.

At this moment, the royal cavalry who got out of the predicament finally cheered up, but the horsepower had been consumed so much that he couldn't pick up the speed for a while. The "kidnapper horse" is like this. Although it is full of armor and looks majestic, it actually consumes a lot of horsepower. If it can't exert its maximum combat power in a short sprint, it can only be used as a meat shield in the front.This is the disadvantage of heavy cavalry. A Khitan already weighs more than [-] catties, including the armor, weapons, and armor on the horse, it is more than [-] catties.

It would be fine if the Mongolian horses were used by the Yuzhang to ride. Although the charging speed is a little slower, they can carry a large load and have good durability.It's a pity that in order to maximize the speed, the Yuzhang pro-rider chose the "Tianma", which is also known as the Yili horse in later generations. This kind of horse is tall and handsome, and its endurance is not bad, but its load is so-so.This is also the reason why the royal tent cavalry has two horses.It's just that in the midst of the chaos, if the royal tent cavalry can find the stable and bring out a horse, it is already well-trained.

However, by mistake, the royal tent rider became a moving steel shield, well-made armor, and the rebel arrows could not penetrate it at all.Those who were unlucky were shot into the gaps in the armor and died.

Seeing this situation, Yelu Zhongyuan quickly asked: "Privy envoy, what should we do at this time?"

Xiao Hujian is also a military idiot, although he claims to be a privy envoy.Seeing that the attack was blocked, he panicked for a while: "Your Majesty, since the palace gate cannot be attacked, why not try to enter through the palace wall?"

Yelu Chongyuan was reminded by him, slapped his thigh and said, "That's right!"

But soon he was stunned again: "The palace wall is three feet high, and there is no ladder, how can I go up?"

This time it was Xiao Hujian's turn to be dumbfounded, Zhizhimubu was speechless.

At this moment, Yeluren first saw that the palace tent army seemed to have calmed down, and knew that the opportunity must not be missed, so he quickly issued a military order: "Send my military order, the whole army will fight back!"

Yeluta had been waiting for this for a long time. He hid under a cowhide shield and was angry for a long time. Finally, he was ready to go to war. He just stood up and said: "My sons, come with me..." Before he finished speaking, a The cold arrow shot suddenly, in the darkness, even Yeluta didn't notice it.When he woke up, the cold arrow was already approaching his chest.Fortunately, Yeluta didn't react too slowly, leaned his body, and with a soft "poof", he was still hit by the arrow.

Yeluren was in the dark first, not noticing that his son had been injured.In the shadow of swords and spears, the sound of killing shook the sky.The light of the torch flickers on and off.Yeluren first focused all his attention on the battle situation, how could he care about the movement under the palace gate?

Seeing his father commanding the battle, Yeluta, who was hit by an arrow in the socket of his left shoulder, was also ruthless. He snapped the shaft of the arrow with his right hand and shouted: "Go for me!"

Xiao Yuanlan, who was originally inside the palace gate, saw that Yeluta was so brave in the firelight, and he also had the heart of protection.Seeing that Yeluta had also stepped on the horse, he immediately led another horse, and rushed out together with him.

This period of time happened to be the point when the morale of the rebel army was declining and the successor was weak.As a result, they attacked with all their strength, and the rebels who hadn't thought about defending were suddenly scattered, and the middle door opened wide.

Yelu Chongyuan turned pale with shock: "Quick... stop them!"

Among the rebels, there are also brave people.Yelu Chongyuan has been operating in the Northeast for many years, and has gathered many strong soldiers from the Shiwei tribe (ancestors of the Mongols).These Shiwei clansmen are loyal and loyal, as long as they are given enough gold and silver treasures, they will never betray.

At this moment, Yelu Chongyuan ordered that the most elite Shiwei clan among the rebels yelled words that the Khitan people could not understand, held a bow and arrow, and rushed out on horseback.Their tactics are peculiar. First, they use horse bows to shoot from a distance, and then they distance themselves, riding and shooting while running.

This method of warfare actually has no technical content.Speaking of riding and shooting, the Khitan people are not inferior. When they see these people being so "wretched", they immediately fight back.The two sides fired at each other, until they quickly retreated to the large banner of the Yelu Chongyuan Central Army, these Shiwei people screamed strangely, drew their sabers and rushed back.
