Chapter 1889: The counterattack of the Tianzhu people
When people are forced to resist with all their might, they will definitely resist with all their might. What is this true for a country? Under Seljuk's "good intention" advice, the Indians found that at this time, the fate of the Polo dynasty had reached the most dangerous time.
Just as the person standing on the edge of the cliff could already feel the bottomlessness of the abyss from the falling gravel and the tragic appearance of being about to fall down to pieces, Nayepolo realized how stupid it was to deal with the Song Dynasty.
While he sent an envoy to ask for peace from Zhao Zhen, he also sent an envoy to ask Seljuk for help. This little thing that originally took advantage had turned into a major disaster.
At this time, any assistance to him was a life-saving straw. The Jepolo's messenger got what he had been thinking about from Tugluk. Seljuk would form an alliance with the Indians and give them aid of weapons and ordnance.
The huge Seljuk Empire is the best "friend" to India. At present, India can only have the opportunity to turn over with the help of Seljuk's power, otherwise it will be completely eaten by the ferocious dragon of the Song Dynasty.
Yepolo still doesn't know what kind of demon he is, but he dares to attack a giant like the Song Dynasty. The price of provoking a strong man is either to be destroyed by the strong man himself or to defeat the strong man.
Nayepolo felt that Tugluk's words were very reasonable. If the war between the Polo Dynasty and the Song Dynasty could not be avoided, it would be possible to fight to the end. The worst result would be to be destroyed by the Song Dynasty. However, if the battle was fought, there would still be a chance to make the Song Dynasty give up the conquest of the Polo Dynasty.
People’s stupidity lies in overestimating one’s own ability. Few people can do it in a seemingly simple sentence. When a critical moment, it is more terrifying than anything else.
Yepolo was not so stupid that he felt that he could destroy the Song Dynasty, but his stupidity was to think that he could fight against the Song Dynasty and stop the war.
In Nayepolo's view, at least one big victory was needed to save the current decadent situation of the Polo dynasty. Many high castes were trembling. In their opinion, India could not confront the Song Dynasty at all.
Najepolo was not confident in the soldiers under his command, but in the number of soldiers. He had assembled an army of nearly half a million, and more soldiers were ordered to assemble.
Now the high castes are tied to themselves in a chariot, and all of them will decline with the demise of the Bolic dynasty. The gold in their hands will become golden cakes in the treasury of the Song people, and it will never be passed on.
When the temple is destroyed, the golden robes on the Buddha will be melted, and the gold and silver jewelry in the family will become things in the treasure house of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and will be distributed to the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. The family that was finally established and the caste system that made descendants stand out will be abolished. Pengjialuo is a best example.
All of this scenes are Naye Polo's description of the high caste and the future of monks.
At the same time, it also aroused the resistance in their hearts. If they do not resist, their family will suffer a catastrophe after the country is destroyed, which is something that no one wants to see.
The army of hundreds of thousands has been besieging Pengjialuo for a while. The Song people's city defense is very strong. The originally short Pengjialuo city is constantly expanding in the hands of the Song people.
The original small wall disappeared, turned into a city wall several feet high, and the narrow city disappeared, turning into a fortress, as if they knew that India would counterattack Pengjialuo, and the effort the Song people spent on the city should not be underestimated.
Fortunately, the number of Song troops in Pengjialuo has not increased. The army with less than 100,000 people can defend against the attack of more than 100,000 people. This is almost incredible to the Indians. According to their philosophy, even if the Song troops are two for one or even three for one, the Song troops should not be able to last for so long.
In fact, the Indians did not have any siege equipment. A long ladder or a grapple hook was already the only way they siege. They either used chariots to attack the city, and then used the earth and stones on the chariots to build a platform for soldiers to climb.
If they say that their sharpest weapon is just a stone throwing cart that throws stones. This thing is no longer used in the Song Dynasty, but the Indians believed that this was the best way to refute Pengjialuo to strengthen the city.
Soldiers kept falling from the city walls, with many soldiers in India and very few soldiers in the Song army.
Soon, the soldiers of the Indians retreated like a tide, because the white powder began to be thrown on the city walls of the Song people. As long as all the Indians smelled the powder that emitted a strange smell, they were as if they saw ghosts and gods.
Even so, I could not escape the disaster. The fire appeared. The green phosphorescence emitted from the blazing fire was shocking, just like a maggot that could not be extinguished. Even water and earth and rocks had no choice but to bury people in the soil or mud.
But most people can only let the flame burn. The best way is to cut off the flesh from the burning place. The Indian soldiers called it the demonic flame.
When he saw a soldier coming back with demonic flames, General Tianzhu screamed in his throat as if he had encountered a pervert: "Kill them, kill anyone who is on fire!"
So all the bows and long swords that were originally fighting against the enemy appeared on their own people. The small flames were terrible. If they could not be completely extinguished, they would ignite the entire camp.
The ones that cover the retreat of the Indian soldiers were a round of stones. The Indians were smart enough to learn that the catapults must not be close to the area of the Song army's city. As long as they get close, they would be attacked by a huge spear. Once the spear hit, it would explode like thunder, and at the same time, the precious catapult would be split into pieces.
These trellis were bought from Seljuk at a high price. The craftsmen who made trellis were also bought together. They were very slow in making trellis and had to experiment. As long as they didn't work at all, they would never be sent to the battlefield.
Because they have something to ask for, the Indians had to swallow their anger and wait, but they could not afford to lose money on the battlefield.
The sky gradually darkened, but even so, the general of India did not relax, but was more vigilant and asked the soldiers to patrol all night, and once there was a policeman, he had to blow the horn immediately.
During this period, they were almost mentally dysfunctional by the night attack by the Song army. They couldn't sleep well all night, and they felt a greasy feeling in their hearts during the day.
But the more worried he was, the more he would come. When everyone was trapped in the second half of the night, the Song army's charge arrived as scheduled. The general of the Tianzhu couldn't figure out how there was no sound at the beginning of the cavalry charge of thousands of people?
Such a number of cavalry charges should start from the city gate and will be discovered early by the sentry outside, but almost every time the fast horses of the sentry immediately rushed over.
