Chapter 518 Zhongjing Palace
On the grassland, the war continues.
There are fewer and fewer Mongolians in the encirclement! Now, there are only 50,000 or 60,000 Mongolian soldiers and horses left! However, these 50,000 and 60,000 Mongolian soldiers and horses know that the situation is extremely dangerous, and everyone is fighting hard!
There were still gaps in the surrounding Song army. Many Mongolian soldiers and horses knew where the trap was, but they continued to move towards the gap.
After they left the gap, they all tried their best to escape to the north. Their physical strength was almost exhausted, and such a desperate escape would consume even more physical strength. More than ten miles away, there were Song troops waiting for them, and there might not be one out of a hundred who could escape in the end!
Two hours passed, and the shouts of killing gradually laughed, because there were fewer and fewer Mongolians in the encirclement, leaving only 20,000 to 30,000.
At this moment, the 20,000 to 30,000 people had gathered together, and all the Mongolians had despair on their faces.
"The war has been going on now, and we have finally gathered together!" Suddenly, Zhahusi looked behind him and smiled bitterly.
"Khan, let's rush out immediately!" said a Mongolian leader.
"Run out? How to rush out? The number of Han people is countless times that of ours. They have surrounded us! Only these 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses are left, and we don't have much energy anymore. How to rush?" Suddenly, Zhahusi said.
"What should I do?" said the Mongolian leader.
"Surrender! Now we can only surrender! After surrender, we can survive!" Suddenly, Zahusi said.
"Is there no other choice?" The Mongolian leader opened his mouth, hesitated for a while before asking.
"Apart from surrendering, you will die in battle! If you want to die, then continue to fight! If we die, our tribe members on the grassland will not be able to survive! Now that we surrender, we may be able to rescue the tribe members on the grassland!" Suddenly, Zhahusi said.
"Save it? How can I save it after surrendering?" said the Mongolian leader.
"I don't know, at least we are still alive, we can still reproduce, right?" Suddenly, Zhabu Si said.
The Mongolian leader nodded slightly.
The Song army around seemed to have already ceased to fight at this moment, but in fact they were just adjusting their formation! The remaining 20,000 to 30,000 Mongolians were no longer taken seriously by them. They had some ways to eliminate these 20,000 to 30,000 Mongolians! Moreover, the Mongolians were thinking about fighting their lives just now, and everyone was red in their eyes. Now, a little slowing down the attack can weaken the murderous aura in the hearts of the Mongolians. When the Song army is ready and attacking again, the resistance will become much smaller!
The formation of more than 100,000 crossbowmen became neat again, and everyone raised their crossbows! Now that the Mongols gathered together, they could once again take advantage of the crossbowmen's attack!
Suddenly, Zha Husi saw more and more crossbowmen in the distance, and his eyes were twitching!
"Quick! Surrender immediately!" Suddenly, Zhahusi shouted loudly.
He had already got off the horse and fell to his knees on the ground. The other Mongolian soldiers hesitated and fell to the ground!
Gradually, more and more Mongolians fell to the ground, but there were still hundreds of people hesitating!
"No! We cannot kneel in front of the Han people so humbly! Kill!" A Mongolian soldier who was still standing suddenly shouted angrily, and he actually came out of the crowd and rushed towards the Song army in the distance!
Soon, the sound of a crossbow sounded, and the Mongolian soldier fell into a pool of blood.
Among the remaining 20,000 to 30,000 Mongolians, dozens of them rushed around, but all of them were killed. These Mongolians were obviously seeking death. They knew that rushing out was a dead end, but they were unwilling to surrender.
The rest of the Mongolians all fell to their knees!
The Song army around us came towards here, and the kneeling Mongolians felt a sense of horror in their hearts! Now they voluntarily gave up resistance. If the Song army still wanted to take their lives, they would have no way to die.
"Please accept our surrender!" Suddenly, Zhahusi shouted loudly, he was the only Chinese-speaking person among these Mongolians.
"Suddenly, Zhahusi's sweat, please get up!" A voice came from beside him. Suddenly Zhahusi raised his head, and then he found Liang Hao standing beside him.
"It's you!" Suddenly, Zhahusi was stunned.
Liang Hao suddenly stabbed Busi and helped him up and said, "Our general wants to see you!"
At this moment, the other Mongolian soldiers were still surrounded by the Song army. Their weapons and war horses had been taken away by the Song army! After another quarter of an hour, they could finally stand up and they were gathered together! These Mongolian soldiers did not know their fate, but were still nervous in their hearts, and many of them were trembling.
*******
Suddenly, Zhahusi was taken to Yue Fei and he knelt down to salute.
Generally speaking, few Mongolians kneel down and bow, most of them bent down. However, in today's battle, the Mongolians completely failed. Suddenly, they only wanted to survive, and had given up all their dignity.
"Shank you please get up!" Yue Fei said.
"Thank you, General! Please forgive us our lives." Suddenly, Zhahu Si said.
As he said this, he felt extremely painful! Just a few days ago, they had not taken the Song army seriously, and they still fantasized about going south and seizing territory and wealth. But now that the Song army attacked, they were defeated. Khan like him became prisoners of the Song army! He didn't know how Hebule Khan was now, he only knew that Hebule Khan would not be much better than him.
"Since you surrender, we will not kill you! Liang Hao had told you before, "Are you willing to let you surrender to my Song Dynasty?" Yue Fei said.
"Of course we are willing." Suddenly, Zhahusi said hurriedly.
"In the future, we will enter the grassland and we will need your help." Yue Fei said.
"Yes, we are willing to help the Song Dynasty." Suddenly, Zhabu Si said.
"You go down first. How to deal with you requires your decision! Now I can only guarantee not to kill you." Yue Fei said.
Suddenly, Zhabusi breathed a sigh of relief, and he was taken down by someone.
Yue Fei rode on the horse, his eyes swept across the battlefield, and he saw corpses everywhere! Most of them were the corpses of Mongolians, but there were also a small number of the corpses of the Song army.
"One general succeeds and thousands of bones are undone." Yue Fei murmured.
"Master, sacrifice is essential for me, the Song Dynasty! If we don't go north to kill them, they will go south to invade us. At that time, countless people will die!" A voice came from Yue Fei.
Yue Fei turned his head and saw Yue Yun coming to his side.
"I naturally understand this principle. I still feel sad when I see dead bodies everywhere! You go and pass the orders to let the soldiers clean up the battlefield quickly. Then we go to Fengzhou. After a day off in Fengzhou, we must go north immediately and go to Fuzhou and Zhenzhou, two thousand miles away, to face Yelu Dashi!" Yue Fei said.
"Fight Yelu Dashi? Are we not waiting for him to come to Shangjing?" Yue Yun said in surprise.
"The 180,000 Mongolian troops were completely wiped out, and this news will soon reach Shangjing. Yelu Dashi will also get news. At that time, Yelu Dashi may not continue to go south to Shangjing! They either return to the northwest grassland thousands of miles away, or take a long way to the Liaodong area! If they go to Liaodong, their strength and Wanyan Zonghan's power combined will still be a huge threat to us! Moreover, Yelu Dashi has a very high prestige among the Khitans. If he takes the opportunity to incite the Liaodong rebel army and make the Liaodong rebel army fight us, the threat will be greater. It will be even more difficult for us to pacify Liaodong! Therefore, we must go north immediately and annihilate it before he can react!" Yue Fei said.
"The last general understands!" Yue Yun nodded.
A new war is about to come, and Yue Yun did not feel the hardship, but felt even more excited!
The Song soldiers packed up all the bones of their comrades, and in the future they had to transport them back to their hometown. Then they packed up the bones of the Mongolians and buried them in countless big pits! Then they packed up all the Mongol horses, weapons, etc. until noon on October 15th that they were busy, and then they went to Fengzhou.

Zhongjing City was originally one of the most prosperous cities on the grassland, but now it is a dilapidated scene.
From the rise of the Jurchens to the Song army heading north, this city has experienced many wars, and the people in the city have suffered.
In recent days, the snow has become heavier and colder. In Zhongjing, many Han and Khitans have no clothes and food, and countless people find it difficult to survive.
Since the capture of Zhongjing City, Zhao Chen has led many soldiers to inspect the city. This morning, he set up a porridge factory in the city to provide disaster relief.
It was late at night that Zhao Chen, Qu Duan, Liu Qi, Fu Xuan, Wanyan Chang and others were busy and they came to the Liao Palace in Zhongjing.
Zhongjing has the longest history as the capital of Liao Kingdom. The imperial palace here was also built when the Liao Kingdom was most prosperous, so the imperial palace here is even more grand! When Jin Wushu and Wanyan Chang were stationed in Zhongjing, it was once the command center of the Jin soldiers and the material reserve center. Now it has been vacated and the Song army has occupied it.
"How much food is left in the Zhongjing Palace?" Zhao Chen said.
"There are still hundreds of thousands of stones." Wanyan Chang said.
"The food can be distributed to the people, but it cannot be distributed blindly. It will be distributed all at once. A large number of people will starve to death this winter! As long as they are allowed to starve to death this winter, they will gradually get better after the spring next year! I will temporarily use the porridge factory to distribute porridge in the past few days. Yu Yunwen is about to come, and I will talk about everything when he arrives." Zhao Chen said.
Everyone nodded.
"Zhongjing has been pacified. Yue Fei and Li Xianzhong are about to go north to face Yelu Dashi! If nothing unexpected happens, Yelu Dashi is not our opponent! Shangjing will be subdued by us at that time! The five capitals of the Liao Kingdom, Shangjing, Zhongjing, Xijing, and Nanjing are all under our control. In addition to the Liaodong area, we have inherited the Liao Kingdom's country's territory! We don't have to advance east immediately, we need to stabilize Shangjing first and Zhongjing's situation." Zhao Chen said.
The Five Capitals of the Liao Kingdom, Shangjing and Zhongjing are located on the grassland, the Xijing is Datong, and Nanjing is the later Beijing. There are many small cities around with the Five Capitals as the center. Now these small cities are also under the control of the Song army, and there are many people here that need to be appeased!
According to the plan of the Military Affairs Office and the General Staff Headquarters, the form of going to Beijing, Zhongjing and surrounding cities will be temporarily settled before entering Liaodong and pacifying Liaodong in one fell swoop! After Liaodong is pacified, there will be no foreign enemies in the Central Plains!
The Zhongjing Imperial Palace is in ruins, and many palaces are even leaking! Over the years, the Jurchens have not sent anyone to repair the damaged palaces here.
"Your Majesty, this is the Hall of Qinzheng, the place where the Emperor of Liao Kingdom handles national affairs." After coming to a palace, Wanyan Chang said.
