Chapter 255: The Broken Mountains and Rivers (Part 2)
Li Liangzuo led his army to gallop south along the Yellow River. Along the way, what Li Liangzuo saw was a devastated land, villages that had been burned by fire, and corpses all over the villages. Only ashes were left behind in the burned villages. The corpses of rotten people and livestock could be seen in the river. At that time, these were not necessarily done by the Eastern Liao army and the servant army under Yelu Nelugu, and some were also the actions of the rioters and bandits of the Song Dynasty.
But it is obvious that Li Liangzuo attributed all this to Yelu Nelugu. Logically speaking, Li Liangzuo was the emperor of Western Xia, and those who died were the people of the Song Dynasty. Li Liangzuo didn't need to be so angry at all. The reason why Li Liangzuo did this was because Li Liangzuo regarded the entire Song Dynasty as his own, and regarded the people of the Song Dynasty as his own people. When he saw his people being slaughtered like this, he would be furious if he was replaced by that ruler.
Seeing this scene, Li Liangzuo immediately ordered the cavalry to assault as quickly as possible. Along the way, Li Liangzuo's Xia cavalry was progressing very smoothly and he did not encounter any resistance at all. I am afraid that this would be the only time in the world! Soon Li Liangzuo led his army to his final destination, that is, the capital of the Song Dynasty, Bianliang, but at this time, Bianliang had already fluttered the Liao Kingdom's flag.
When Li Liangzuo led his army outside Bianliang City, the gates of the entire outer city of Bianliang City were wide open. Li Liangzuo, who was leading the way, immediately tightened the reins of Heifeng. Heifeng immediately braked and raised his front hooves high; the entire Bianliang City was very strange and suspected to be a ghost city, and the city also screamed from time to time. Li Liangzuo was a little suspicious and didn't know what to do.
After Li Yanze led his army to Li Liangzuo's side, he said, "Your Majesty, the entire city gates of Bianliang City are open four times, like a ghost city. Do you think there is a fraud in this city? Could it be that Yelu Nelugu set up an ambush in the city?"
Li Liangzuo said cautiously: "It's not that there is no such possibility. Now I only have ten thousand iron cavalry in my hands. Once I am ambushed by Yelu Nelugu, it may be detrimental to future battles!"
As soon as Li Liangzuo finished speaking, Li Yue rode his horse to Li Liangzuo and said, "Father, my son is willing to lead 300 cavalry into the city to investigate first. After confirming that there is no ambush in the city, my father is leading the army into the city."
"Yue'er, the city of Bianliang is full of dangers. I'm not at ease to lead my army into the city to be my father!" Li Liangzuo looked at Li Yue with great concern and said.
Li Yanze asked Li Liangzuo for his order: "Your Majesty, let me go! Let Prince Yi stay by your side to protect him."
"My son asks to enter the city with General Li." Li Yue asked Li Liangzuo for his resignation.
Li Liangzuo thought about it and said repeatedly: "Okay, I will allow you two to enter the city. You two will each bring 500 cavalry into the city. No matter what the situation in the city is, you must leave the city in half an hour, otherwise I will enter the city to rescue you."
The two immediately took the order and said, "As for your order, my son will complete the task to the death."
After the two received the military order, they led 500 cavalry to kill Bianliang City. The two of them successfully rushed to Bianliang City. Li Yue and Li Yanze each led 500 cavalry to go around the outer city of Bianliang City. Although they also encountered some servants, these servants were basically drunk. Now the outer city of Bianliang City has become a ghost city. Bodies, men, women, elderly and children can be seen everywhere in the city, and there are all kinds of ways to die, only you can't imagine or see.
After Li Yue and Li Yanze led their troops to a large circle on the periphery of Bianliang City, they immediately left the city to meet with Li Liangzuo outside Tongtian Gate. Li Yanze reported to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, there are no ambushers in the entire outer city. The defenders in the city were drunk as if they were drunk. Moreover, the people in Bianliang City were massacred, and at least hundreds of thousands of people died."
Li Liangzuo said with a gloomy face: "Send an order, the army can enter the city, occupy the entire Bianliang City in the shortest time, and eliminate all the remaining forces of Yelu Nelugu."
With Li Liangzuo's order, ten thousand Xia cavalry rushed into Bianliang City. In a short time, Li Liangzuo occupied the entire outer city of Bianliang City. As the outer city was occupied by Li Liangzuo, Li Liangzuo began to lead his army to attack the inner city. The defenders of the inner city were not as relaxed as the outer city. The gates of the entire inner city were always closed. When the Dongliao army guarding the city saw the flags of the Xia cavalry flying under the city tower, the entire Dongliao army panicked.
For the Eastern Liao army, the Xia army will always be an unforgettable nightmare for the Eastern Liao army. The news that the Xia army had entered Bianliang City was immediately sent to the palace. At this time, Yelu Nelugu was drunk in the palace. After receiving the news that the Xia army had already arrived, Deputy General Wang immediately came to Yelu Nelugu. At this time, Yelu Nelugu was drinking wine while admiring the graceful dance of the Song court maids. There were two palace maids who were stripped of their breasts and exposed their breasts.
After Deputy General Wang came in, the musician and the dancer retreated aside very consciously. Yelu Nelugu asked Deputy General Wang with great unhappiness: "Wang Aiqing, what's the matter? Why disturb my elegant pleasure like this?" Yelu Nelugu said drunk and lazily.
Deputy General Wang sighed and reported to Yelu Nelugu: "Report to your Majesty, the Xia cavalry has entered the city."
Yelu Nelugu immediately became energetic when he heard this sentence. His face was completely drunk. Yelu Nelugu asked unwillingly, "How is this possible! How could the Xia army reach Bianliang City in such a short time! And it has already attacked the outer city."
Deputy General Wang said to Yelu Nelugu: "Your Majesty, there is no time to worry about this issue now. The Xia army has already arrived. What should I do? You should make an idea as soon as possible!"
Yelu Nelugu sat on the dragon throne weakly like a deflated ball, saying, "What else can we do? Although we are invincible in the battle against the Song army, I am not sure about the fierce Xia army. I will keep the green mountains without fear of burning firewood. Tell my brothers, bring enough food and grass, and we will retreat from the South Gate. The Song Dynasty is vast and has a vast land and abundant resources, so we can make a comeback at any time."
With Yelu Nelugu's order, the soldiers of the Eastern Liao army, who had been drunk and dreaming, were immediately energetic when they heard the Xia army coming. They immediately packed up their luggage and prepared to escape. When Yelu Nelugu led 30,000 Eastern Liao cavalry to escape from Zhuque Gate and crossed Longjin Bridge and left Bianliang City from Nanxun Gate, Li Liangzuo was leading 10,000 Xia army cavalry to enter the inner city from Jinglongmen. The inner city was better than the outer city and was not destructively destroyed by the Eastern Liao army.
After Li Liangzuo entered the city from Jinglongmen, he immediately ordered Li Yanze and Li Yue: "Li Yanze, Li Yue obeys the order; Li Yanze leads a cavalry to immediately occupy the granary, arsenal, various departments and royal palaces in the city; Li Yue leads a cavalry to maintain order in the city and post a notice of the case name. Those who dare to violate the law and discipline can be killed on the spot."
"My son receives the order." The two of them took the military order in unison.
