Chapter 718 Emperor Gaozong of Song: My Brother-in-Law is Here? [4 Updates, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Recommendations]
"That's fine!"
Wu Yanguang nodded, looking reluctant.
"Since things have come to this, I'll do as you say!"
Banguer was speechless. He shouldn't have been so talkative, but who knew that the King had also learned how to make non-stick pans?
Sure enough, things changed after the commander-in-chief became king...
"Yes!"
But there was nothing he could do; after all, he was the king. Bangur passed down the order:
"Prepare to attack the city!"
At Banguer's command, his Liao soldiers used their swords and spears to gather the people they had gathered.
"Line up!"
"If I tell you to charge, then charge! Charge all the way to the city!"
"Don't retreat! Retreat means death!"
The Liao soldiers had been living in Song territory for several months, and even those who didn't speak Song language had picked up a few simple phrases.
However, their stiff, awkward Song language, combined with their fierce and aggressive demeanor, made them even more imposing.
These people were captured from the surrounding villages; there were men, women, and children, totaling more than 10,000.
"Wow-wow-"
"Please! Please, have mercy and let this old woman go!"
"I have silver! I have silver!"
"No, no, I'm already pregnant..."
"You son of a bitch! Kill me if you dare! I'll be a hero again in eighteen years!"
The child is crying, the old man is pleading, the rich man is trying to bribe him, the woman is trembling with fear, and the man is cursing loudly...
The cacophony of voices created a chaotic and noisy din, which only made Banguer more annoyed.
"Enough talk! Charge!"
His Liao soldiers then pointed their swords and spears at the civilians, forcing them to walk towards the city wall.
The Song soldiers on the city wall were dumbfounded. They were local soldiers, and these people were their fellow villagers...
"What are you still doing?"
Liu Guangshi on the city wall cursed loudly:
"Didn't you see them attacking the city?"
Don't you have bows and arrows?
"Shoot!"
One of the Song soldiers couldn't help but explain to him, "General, you can't shoot! They are all innocent civilians!"
"idiot!"
Liu Guangshi went up and slapped him hard across the face:
"They all helped the Liao army attack the city, how can they be called innocent?"
Another Song soldier retorted angrily, "But they were coerced by the Liao soldiers!"
"so what?"
Liu Guangshi suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at the Song soldier:
"You've softened your heart?"
They're besieging the city!
"Once they help the Liao soldiers breach the city, the Liao soldiers will cut off your head!"
Will they feel sorry for you?
Look me in the eyes! Answer me!
"If you die, will they feel sorry for you?"
The Song soldier was speechless. Liu Guangshi snorted coldly, drew his sword, and pointed it towards the city below:
"On my command, fire!"
Liu Guangshi successfully intimidated the Song soldiers, who, though unwilling, ultimately did not want to die.
"Shuashuashua——"
Arrows rained down from the sky, and instantly, countless people fell to the ground...
"Ugh--"
Imperial Censor Cui Jing said to Emperor Gaozong of Song, who was watching the battle:
"Your Majesty, although General Liu's actions were taken in a time of emergency, they are ultimately against the will of Heaven..."
Emperor Gaozong glanced at him but said nothing.
You're so out of touch with the times! You'll shut up once the city falls!
"I wonder when the King of Qi's reinforcements will arrive..."
Infantry Grand Commandant Duan Chang sighed:
"The Liao soldiers are too brutal; only the Qi army can suppress them..."
Although unwilling to acknowledge Duan Chang's words, Emperor Gaozong of Song, Cai Jing, and Qin Hui were all speechless.
But at this moment, they heard Liu Guangshi angrily burst into a tirade:
"I told you to shoot arrows a long time ago!"
"You bunch of idiots who won't listen to me, you sons of bitches!"
Emperor Gaozong of Song and Cai Jing hurriedly peered down from the crenellations and saw that the people had already rushed down to the city walls.
These civilians carried ladders in their hands, and after setting up the ladders, they were driven to rush up the city!
However, the situation had already deteriorated to this point, yet the Song soldiers defending the city were still showing mercy...
Liu Guangshi was both angry and anxious, while Emperor Gaozong of Song was so weak in the knees that he could only cling to Cai Jing's arm.
"Grand Tutor, what should we do..."
At this point, Cai Jing had no other options but to resort to bribery.
"Kill! Rage the enemy army, and you will be rewarded with ten strings of cash!"
"Ten strings of cash each!"
Money is the most tempting thing to people. The Song soldiers who were just soft-hearted became ruthless after hearing this!
Then screams echoed from the city wall, and many civilians fell off the ladders, their heads bleeding profusely...
"Woooooooo..."
When the people saw that the Song soldiers were even killing their own people, they could only run back home crying.
"Those who turn back will be killed!"
Banguer roared, spurred his horse forward, swung his broadsword in a wide arc, and cleaved an old woman in two with one stroke!
With him setting an example, the Liao soldiers and surrendered soldiers all became like wolves and tigers, slaughtering the civilians who had fled back.
Emperor Gaozong of Song was only a fifteen-year-old child, and he simply couldn't bear to watch his people being slaughtered.
He had no choice but to close his eyes.
"Boom... Boom..."
Just then, the ground shook violently in the distance, as if muffled thunder was rumbling, or as if surging waves were rising!
Before Emperor Gaozong of Song could even open his eyes, a cheer erupted from the city walls:
"King Qi is here!"
My brother-in-law is here?
Emperor Gaozong of Song subconsciously opened his eyes and looked into the distance, where he saw an endless cavalry army on the horizon!
It is just like the endless flow of the Yangtze River, or the unstoppable flooding of the Yellow River!
Those blood-red banners, when viewed from afar, form a line, resembling a vast sea of blood about to devour the entire world!
"Oh la—oh la—"
The Song soldiers throughout the city cheered and jumped for joy, as if it were New Year's Day!
In contrast, the Liao soldiers, and Wuyan Guang, the king of Southern Liao, looked back in disbelief:
"So many cavalry?"
Where did the State of Qi get so many cavalry?
"Lady Bat" Yu Decheng explained from the side: "King Qi has defeated the Jin army several times in a row, capturing countless warhorses..."
Is that what I wanted to ask?
Wu Yanguang was almost going crazy: "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Your Majesty, something's not right!"
As the Qi army drew near, "Ghost Golden Sheep" Wang Jing cried out in alarm:
"So many Jin soldiers! And Liao soldiers too!"
It turned out that there were too many surrendered soldiers in the Qi cavalry, including criminals, wicked soldiers, and wolf cavalry. Providing them with clothing and armor was a huge undertaking.
So they still followed the old tradition and tore off half of the sleeve.
However, in the eyes of Wuyan Guang and his defeated troops, half of the Qi army were Jin soldiers!
They feared the Jin soldiers as if they were tigers, just as the Song soldiers feared them as if they were tigers...
Immediately, the Liao soldiers that Wuyan Guang had gathered to prepare for battle were thrown into chaos!
As the saying goes, "once bitten by a snake, twice shy," they were afraid to fight the Jin soldiers, and their morale plummeted at a visible speed!
Can't wait any longer!
As the commander-in-chief, Wuyan Guang keenly sensed the decline in morale, gritted his teeth, and glared:
"All troops, charge!"
"kill--"
Immediately, under the leadership of Wuyan Guang, 50,000 Liao soldiers and 50,000 surrendered soldiers charged towards the Qi army!
As they charged, the surrendered soldiers subtly slowed down, allowing the Liao army to advance ahead...
Goodnight, please give me some monthly tickets and recommendations, or maybe 2?
