"I surrender!"
The generals then shouted, and a large number of Song troops behind them began to charge.
Zhou Mei's capture of Yelu Begut was a great achievement, so he was not concerned about competing for credit.
Zhou Mei rolled her eyes.
Zhe Jimin also rolled his eyes. Fortunately, he had a good relationship with Zhou Mei. If someone else called him that, he would definitely get angry. So he said, "Something happened. The Liao people started the fire."
Zhe Jimin said: "Saving Xijin City is a great achievement."
The place where Yelu Renxian set fire was located at the Xijin General Administration Office, a building next to the Danfeng Gate, the south city gate. To the west was the Xijin Imperial Palace, where Yelu Zongzhen lived when he was in Nanjing.
Someone from Liao shouted in Liao language: "The Qingjin Gate has been breached, the Song dogs have entered the city, we need reinforcements, we need reinforcements!"
"Reclaim Xijin and recover Yanyun!"
Zhou Meihe asked.
Yelu Renxian was different from Yelu Begut. As a die-hard loyalist of Yelu Zongzhen, he understood that the situation was hopeless and the Song army would definitely break through Xijin, so he simply gave it a go and ordered his soldiers to set fire everywhere in the city.
The sunshine in early February has lifted the warm veil of spring, revealing its scorching face, spewing out passion and scorching the world.
In terms of age, he is thirty years older than Zhe Jimin. He participated in the Battle of Chanzhou when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, and now he is over sixty years old.
The purpose of Mr. Fan's surprise attack was to kill two birds with one stone. It was to disrupt the Liao army's strategy of retreating step by step and luring the enemy into deep territory, and at the same time to save Xijin City. Therefore, the fire had to be put out.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
There was a chorus of musketry below the city. Yelu Renxian was shot like a sieve and fell heavily from the city wall, broken into pieces.
"It's going to be difficult to put out a fire this big. Pass on my order. Except for those escorting the prisoners, all others will head south, across the central axis, destroy the houses, and dig a firebreak."
Thick smoke billowed from the direction of the south city gate, and raging flames engulfed the surrounding houses.
Therefore, the Pi Shi Army only symbolizes a part of the Liao army, but not all the soldiers of the Liao army are Pi Shi Army.
A large number of Song troops crowded at the city gate and were charging inside.
Fan Zhongyan stood up from the cart, with his hands behind his back. The gentle north wind blew his robe and beard, and although his face looked a little old, his eyes were firm and unwavering.
The Yanyun area, which had been lost for a hundred years, is finally returning to the embrace of the Han people!
