back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 965 The Final Battle ([-])

The north wind is chaotic, and the night has not yet arrived.

The horse screamed and the snow covered the sky.

The sound of horseshoes breaking, and the sound of living people swallowing.

Cangshan is like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood.

The grassland after the war is a tragic scene.

The snow-covered grassland has now become a meat grinding ground.Corpses piled up like a mountain, broken knives and broken swords, flags and arrows scattered all over the place.

The lonely steed was whining, as if missing its master.After that, it could only stagger alone, limping and walking into the distance.In this battlefield where life is so humble, it is but a horse.It was not seriously injured, but it had already completed its mission.

Because of the injury, it was abandoned by both parties.The Khitans didn't want an extra horse to share their limited fodder, and the imperial army didn't want it either, after all it was lame.

And because of this, it was free.Maybe the next moment it will be devoured by a pack of wolves, but who cares?

War is so cruel.In the understanding of this war horse, it is fighting for the territory and the position of the leader.After all, the same law applies to horses, but it's not so dead or injured.Use hooves to plan, use teeth to bite, use body acceleration to collide...

Horses don't understand what people do, just as people don't fully understand what horses do.

But the war cannot be changed because of them. All they can do is struggle.I don't want to be killed by the other party, so I can only struggle, struggle desperately.Whoever gives up struggling is not far from death.

Yeluzara looked at the battalion full of wounded soldiers, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

The fighting power and tenacity of the imperial army was beyond his expectation.

The palace tent army is already the most powerful army in the Liao Kingdom, but it can't do anything to the imperial army at all.Even if they approached and fought, the forbidden army never lost the slightest bit.Although half of the Imperial Army's cannons were exhausted with human lives, the Imperial Army still has thousands of Hongxiang-style rifles. If they fight again tomorrow, he doesn't know how many Khitan warriors will die from a small lead. Bouncing down.

Yeluzara stared at the small lead bullet in his hand, which was dug out from the body of a dead Khitan warrior. He really couldn't understand why such a small lead bullet could be bought for a Warrior's life?

"Han people, it's too scary! Han people with ambitions are even more terrifying!" Yelu Sala murmured.

There was a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and he understood that this was a gap, a cultural gap.

This kind of gap cannot be achieved by relying on brute force, but a real gap in the progress of civilization promoted by time.Khitan has a history of more than 100 years but less than 200 years. How can it compare with the Chinese civilization that has a history of 3000 to [-] years?

The history of the grassland is not lost to the Han people.But did the dynasty on the grassland have any cultural heritage?

Throughout history, the owners of the grassland have changed batch after batch.But the Central Plains is still under the wings of the Han people.And the civilization of the Han people has been passed on slowly and tenaciously from generation to generation.

Can Khitan do this?
No, even if Yelu Hongji already understood that to become a big country, he must learn from the Han people, but now, how much time does he have?Even if the Han people don't attack the Liao Kingdom now, Yelu Hongji is still in his prime, but can his son, his grandson, carry on his legacy?

Everyone knows that is impossible.

Although Liao is a country, there are still slaves; although there are emperors, there are princes and nobles; although there is centralization, there are still private armies in the local area...

Various systems restrict the Liao Kingdom, like an extremely powerful giant, but the inside is already riddled with holes.

No one wants to change because they all have vested interests.

No one will think about why the Liao Kingdom can finally defeat the Han people, but cannot destroy the Han people.

No one would have imagined how dark the future of Liao Kingdom would be.

Jerushalah understood, through this little lead bullet.Even if the Han people don't look very strong, they know how to use tools and use their ingenuity, but what about the Khitan people?Still superstitious about brute force, superstitious that he is invincible.Given time, how can you be undefeated?Even if he tried his best, he was only blocking the progress of history.But after all, he is alone, can he stop it?
There are also smart people among the Khitan people, but their vision is too small.They only know how to focus on immediate interests, intrigue, food, drink and pleasure, but never put their ingenuity on benefiting the Khitan people.

Among the Han Chinese, although there are many such people, more of them are willing to put their ingenuity on the progress of civilization.Like the latest firearms of the Han people, isn't that what it is?
Even in terms of bows and crossbows, the Han people are too far behind the Khitan people.Such as God Arm Crossbow, Bed Crossbow, Eight Bull Crossbow, and even a large Nine Bull Crossbow that can be pulled by one person. , Unbelievable, for the first time Yeruzala felt very powerless.

It's not terrible to be defeated, what's terrible is that you can't see a glimmer of hope for victory.

"Unless the Han people seek their own death, who else in the world can beat them?"

For the first time in Yelu Sala's life, this thought came to him from the bottom of his heart. He turned his head and looked at the campfire of the forbidden army ten miles away. Isn't it my long-cherished wish to die in the battle of Liao?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has issued another decree." Suddenly, a general came to report.

"What did you say?"

"Your Majesty let us sneak attack at night!"

Yeluzara looked at his eager face, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy: "Okay, you go with ten thousand troops..."

He had a strong premonition that the Imperial Army must be ready.

At a distance of ten miles, the cavalry arrived in an instant.

In fact, this is no longer a sneak attack, but an "open and honest" call.

Because of the trenches, the 1 Khitan cavalry could only throw rockets from a distance, and [-] of them would not dare to dismount and rush into the trenches.After all, during the day, they had already been killed by the imperial guards.That horrible firearm, the sound over there, will definitely fall down a row here.Although the Khitan people are brave, they are not fools.

They wouldn't be stupid enough to use their bodies as meat shields.They would rather fire a rocket, so that the imperial army can't rest.

This is harassment, not sneak attack.To use exhausted tactics to the greatest extent can also increase the odds of winning for tomorrow.

That night, the Khitan cavalry lost more than a thousand, but it also disturbed the imperial army from a good night's sleep, which can be regarded as extremely successful.

At dawn, Yelu Sala nodded slightly after hearing the battle report ahead: "I see, let's get ready to fight..."
