Chapter 744

: Beat harder

In the letter, Li Wei said that, headed by their Empress Dowager, a group of people gathered in front of the Song Dynasty's military camp every day, questioning why the Japanese can become Song people now, but they cannot?

The Empress Dowager was even more radical and made a straw mat and sat at the door of the Song army's military camp, claiming that if the Song Dynasty people did not give them the same treatment as the Japanese people, she would go on a hunger strike and starve to death in front of the Song army's military camp.

This action was responded by the people of Goryeo, and many people joined the ranks. Even a strong man actually opened his stomach with a knife to protest the unequal treatment of the Song Dynasty for the treatment of Japanese and Goryeo people.

Chen Yuan was really surprised when he looked at Li Wei's letter. This result was something he never expected. In contrast, Yelu Niegulu was a little stubborn. If he had half the awareness of being a stick, why would the two sides have had a fuss to this point?

Wen Yanbo needs to come forward to formally accept Goryeo, but Chen Yuan has to reply to Li Wei immediately. The empress dowager cannot be really starved to death. For those who are determined to surrender, they must be comforted.

Of course, resistance will inevitably exist, and Li Wei must not take it lightly at this time.

Chen Yuan believed that if the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty knew about the current situation in Goryeo, they would not have kept people from thousands of miles away.

Chen Yuan put away Li Wei's letter and looked at Di Qing: "Brother, our family's affairs have almost been done. Now you have to be prepared. Once the Yelu Niegulu's affairs are finished, we will send troops to fight Arabia immediately!"

Until now, the Song Dynasty has fully established an unshakable hegemony in East Asia. As Fan Zhongyan thought, if the Song Dynasty sits down and digests the fruits of victory at this time, the Song Dynasty will develop more smoothly in the future.

But Chen Yuan did not want to stay completely still. He believed that appropriate exercise could stimulate digestion. For example, as long as the war against Arabia was controlled within a certain scale, it would not harm the Song Dynasty.

Central Asia is now a vassal state of the Arab Empire. This ancient empire was injected with the blood of the Seljuk Turks, which could be said to have rebirth. If the Seljuk Turks had not triggered the Crusades in history, the life of this empire would have lasted even longer. They even had the ability to compete with the Mongols in the desert.

The several crusades of the Crusaders not only made the Arab Empire suffer, but also caused heavy losses to Europe's own strength. Even in the last crusade, some children participated in the battle.

Of course, Chen Yuan did not want to give the Arab a chance to stand up again. This time, Chen Yuan gathered all the cavalry forces of the vassal states, striving to give this giant who had just stood up again a heavy blow. Even if he could not defeat him, he would not have the strength to challenge the Song Dynasty in the future. The Song army could safely manage the Western Regions lost by the war and open a land exit.

Di Qing nodded: "Don't worry, the Mongolian mercenaries, the Uighurs and Tubo's troops are already in place, and our own troops can leave at any time. The key now is how many cavalry from the Liao Kingdom can take away."

Liu Ping said hurriedly: "According to the current situation, the shopkeeper's previous estimated 300,000 people are gone, but 200,000 is still OK."

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "Yelu Niegulu! He was a hero and reduced my entire 100,000 troops!"

After saying that, Chen Yuan opened a map of the Middle East and looked at the icons that the Song Dynasty had made in detail and was not prepared for. His hand was pointing at Neshapur: "Here, brother, you are optimistic about this location. The paintings of the detailed may not be accurate, but you must mark this place for me."

Di Qing looked at it. He knew that it was the old nest of the Seljuk Turks. Once this place was captured, it would cause a great impact on the Turks' psychology. It was not easy to defeat this place. The biggest difficulty was that the Song army could only use the method of raiding to carry out the battle. The unfamiliarity of the road and the unfamiliarity with the desert environment were destined to raiding.

However, Di Qing did not say this, but just gave Chen Yuan a full confidence answer: "No problem."

Chen Yuan said: "I'm going to put you in the Uighurs, don't worry, if there is any problem with material supply, I will ask."

Di Qing smiled and said the combat plan that had been brewing in his heart: "Shimei, I plan to divide the troops into three groups, most of them carry Tubo, and the Uighurs' Sweet Potato army came out of the Uighurs in two groups to attack the Heikhan Empire with a clamp attack. They must be asking for help from the Arabs. We are here, and fighting a dignified battle with the Arabs, the pressure on the Zhuluo Kingdom will be reduced."

This is Di Qing's strategy of attacking him and rescuing him. It is impossible for the Song army to attack Hei Khan Arabs without any hesitation, just like if the Arabs attack the Uighurs, the Song Dynasty would definitely go back to fight.

Di Qing's hand drew on the westernmost side of Mongolia again: "In addition, I plan to send some troops to let the Mongols work together to walk down from here and attack the Turkic lairs. Take him off!"

Di Qing's combat plan was very general, but it was just the right one. Like the Song Dynasty in Bianjing, it planned all the actions of the generals in Bianjing, and it was impossible to win a battle.

A general guidance plan was proposed, and the details had to be reached until the border was reached, and the situation was formulated in detail based on geography, weather, opponents, and their own situation. This was the war. Chen Yuan was generally satisfied with Di Qing's strategy. Di Qing took black sweat as his main goal, which was destined not to overstimulate the Arabs. The Song Dynasty needed a bridgehead in Central Asia, and the Song army needed to use some means outside the battlefield to exchange for the time to build this bridgehead.

Di Qing obviously understood this truth, and Chen Yuan smiled: "Brother is the one who is the leader."

In their planning for the next enemy, three days passed quickly, and more than two thousand people around Yelu Niegulu could not hold on. After leaving him within these three days, more than a thousand people died of hunger and thirst.

Chen Yuan had already forgotten the three-day agreement, or he did not take the three-day agreement seriously. If possible, he would be willing to keep surrounding Yelu Niegulu like this, and there was no one around Yelu Niegulu. At that time, there would be no problem either by grabbing him or letting him go.

But Yelu Niegulu was a person who kept his promises at this time. As soon as the dawn of the third day arrived, Bai Yutang came to tell Chen Yuan that Yelu Niegulu in the camp had moved!

This really surprised Chen Yuan. He hurriedly put on his clothes and walked outside. At the same time, the war drums of various teams of the Song army were also ringing.

When he arrived at the top of the city, he saw Yelu Niegulu and the remaining thousands of Liao cavalry had already ridden on the war horses. He held the spear, wore the dragon robe, tied up his scattered hair, and stared at the direction of the city.

Chen Yuan shook his head as he saw it: "Is he crazy? He still wants to hit the capital at this time?"

When the Liao people were 70,000 to 80,000 people, he could not rush over. Now he had only a few thousand people. Chen Yuan was surprised when he saw Yelu Niegulu again posing as he was about to rush to the capital. But he immediately understood that in a 21st century words, Yelu Niegulu wanted to let himself fall on the road to charge.

Even though both sides were enemies, Chen Yuan still admired him a little. There were more than 6,000 Khitan soldiers following Yelu Niegulu, all of them were good, at least, they were worthy of the word "soldier".

Yelu Niegulu might have just waited for him to appear on the city wall again, he might have just wanted to see how different he was from himself. This is a guy who is unwilling to admit defeat. He has arrived in this field, and he still wants to show his stronger side than Chen Yuan. Including Li Yuanhao at the end, he was thinking about escaping from Mongolia, and being indifferent to life and death, only he could do it.

Bai Yutang said softly: "Do you want to persuade the surrender again?"

Chen Yuan sighed: "Forget it, don't insult him."

Yelu Niegulu was waiting for Chen Yuan to come out again. Really, he just wanted Chen Yuan to see that the bravery he showed at this time was absolutely nothing for people like Chen Yuan. When he saw Chen Shimei's banner rising above the city, he smiled, turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him, and suddenly said loudly: "Brothers! If you leave now, I will never blame you!"

The Khitans behind them all looked firm. They stared firmly at the front and stared at Yelu Niegulu without answering, and that was already telling Yelu Niegulu and their current choice.

Yelu Niegulu laughed: "Haha! OK! I, Yelu Niegulu, can be with you, and this life will be worthwhile! Carry the flag!"

A veteran Khitan responded to the slogan of Yelu Niegulu, and the battle flag was blown by the wind, making sounds, looking so desolate.

Chen Yuan on the top of the city gently moved his finger: "Tell me brothers, beat me hard!"

For such an opponent, the only way to do his best and hit him hard is to respect him the best.

The horn of the Liao people played the final masterpiece. Yelu Niegulu took the lead in running towards the city gate of Zhongjing. Thousands of Liao soldiers behind him made shouts that rose from the bottom of their hearts, following closely behind his horse.

Opposite them, Yan Zhan's musket team had already been solemnly in the trenches. This time, the Song army participated in the battle more than 200 artillery pieces in the city, and next to these thousands, there were also 100,000 Song soldiers aimed at them with crossbows. The gunners on both sides had also adjusted the positions of the gun bodies. After these Liao people entered the pre-set strike area, tens of thousands of artillery fired together!

Yelu Niegulu could feel the sharp eyes projecting from the Song army's crossbowmen. With countless pairs of such eyes, Yelu Niegulu suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment rising from the depths of his heart. His horse was still running forward, and he continued to shout, his eyes became brighter and brighter and more energetic.

"Kill..."

His arm raised his spear high, and his roar penetrated the entire battlefield and floated into Chen Yuan's ears. The yellow dragon robe was so eye-catching.

The Khitans followed him and shouted like crazy, but the Song army beside him stared at them without saying a word, silent, quiet and moving, which made the battlefield full of a different atmosphere.

Fifty steps, as long as he goes forward fifty steps, the Song army will open fire. Chen Yuan really hopes that at this moment Yelu Niegulu can suddenly stop, and then take him to Arabia to help him complete the next war, and let him see that he can really give the Khitans happiness and will not do worse than Yelu Niegulu.

But Yelu Negulu finally did not stop his horse stance. He rushed so fast that he rushed through these fifty steps in an instant.

Chen Yuan could only hear Liu Ping shouting in his ear: "Let it go!"

The scene in front of me suddenly changed. Thousands of shells flew towards the Liao people who were charging from all directions, and countless crossbow arrows flew overwhelmed.

Chen Yuan soon couldn't see clearly the situation on the battlefield. He could see the earth flying after the round shells exploded, and he could not even hear the shouts of the Liao people.
