When Lao Wanggui led the Datong Army to Shengzhou, Yang Dezheng had just received the battle report from Fan Long's fast horse.
Chenjiakou. The Chinese army tent. Yang Dezheng sat on the couch in the Chinese army tent with a golden sword. The orderly soldier knelt on one knee in front of Yang Dezheng. Yang Dezheng opened the battle report sealed with fire paint and carefully
I read it over again. In the battle report, Fan Long described in detail the battle between him and Guo Da at the border between Fengzhou and Shengzhou, and was very upset to explain that he did not catch Guo Da and let Guo Da run away.
However, Yang Dezheng didn't care whether he caught Guo Da or not. As long as Guo Da's remnant army was wiped out, Guo Da had become a bereaved dog. He had no other choice but to quietly escape back to the Liao Kingdom and beg for mercy from his master.
The possibility of turning over.
"Bang~" After reading half of the letter, Yang Dezheng excitedly knocked on the table in front of him and said with a smile: "Guo Da's remnant army has been killed. From now on, this Shengzhou's surname will be Yang." After laughing, Yang Dezheng continued to read.
At the end of the letter, Fan Long told Yang Dezheng that the wild beggar Ganbo from Fengzhou pursued Guo Da to the border of Shengzhou. Hearing that Guo Da's remnant army was destroyed, he had no intention of retreating and was very interested in marching into Shengzhou.
possibility. After all, it was Guo Da who killed Ye Qiganbo’s eldest son, but it was the Fuxing Army who killed Ye Qiganbo’s younger son.
Fan Long was leading the Zhejia Army and was confronting Yeqiganbo. Due to limited forces, both sides were still conducting small-scale trials. After reading the letter, Yang Dezheng frowned slightly. There were only 10,000 troops left in Yeqiganbo.
, but was unwilling to retreat, and was still lingering on the border between Fengzhou and Shengzhou. Yang Dezheng speculated that Ye Qianbo probably wanted to break into Shengzhou, and the reason why he was wasting his time with Shang Qingzi was entirely to delay time.
, so that he can mobilize troops from within the party.
After guessing this, Yang Dezheng put down the letter and said to the soldiers around him: "Order the first and second regiments of the Fuxing Army Rangers, with 20,000 troops, to set off to the borders of Fengzhou and Shengzhou to support Shang Qing.
Son." The soldiers around Yang Dezheng took the order and quickly went out to convey Yang Dezheng's order.
Yang Dezheng wrote a separate handwritten letter and gave it to the soldier of the Zhejia Army sent by Fan Long to deliver the battle report, saying: "Take my handwritten letter and go back to Fan Long. At the same time, he told him that the First Regiment of the Fuxing Army Rangers
, the second regiment, after the two regiments of 20,000 horses arrive, he will control them."
The soldiers of the Zhe family army cupped their fists and said, "I obey my orders." Following Yang Dezheng's order, the first and second regiments of the Fuxing Army Rangers officially set off and rushed to the borders of Fengzhou and Shengzhou to support.
The soldiers of the family army also carried Yang Dezheng's handwriting and went with the Renaissance Army rangers. After the soldiers and horses were sent out to support, Yang Dezheng looked a little solemn.
If Yeqi Ganbo mobilizes a large number of troops from within the party to attack Shengzhou, then Yang Dezheng's situation in Shengzhou will become precarious. Shengzhou will be lost. The Liao people will definitely get the news soon and make a quick decision.
Reaction. Once the armies of the Liao and Yeqi Ganbo get together, the Shengzhou that Yang Dezheng just captured will most likely be lost, and the Renaissance Army will likely be crippled.
When he thought of this, Yang Dezheng seemed very impatient. The soldiers and horses of Ye Qiganbo were easy to deal with, but the soldiers and horses of the Liao people were not so easy to deal with. It is not that Yang Dezheng was afraid of the Liao people, but because the Liao people fought
The tactics of the Liao Dynasty were basically to fight with a large army pressing down on the border. In other words, once the Liao people went south, it was basically impossible to command 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it was very likely that they would command more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Therefore, in Yang Dezheng's heart, the Liao people are a serious concern. And the only thing that can help Yang Dezheng gain an advantage in fighting the Liao people is the Chenjiakou pass that is under construction. Yang Dezheng led Wang Xing, and Wang Xing
Carrying the big flag, when the group arrived at Chenjiakou, they saw the bustling city building scene in Chenjiakou.
Nearly 200,000 people gathered in Chenjiakou. The construction site in Chenjiakou seemed particularly lively. After Yang Dezheng saw the pass built in Chenjiakou, he was a little stunned. Because in the originally bare Chenjiakou, a three-foot-long section had sprouted.
The wall is already high. In just a few days, the city wall has been built?
What about the foundation? The foundation is the most important part of a city wall. It usually takes three months to build a city, and more than one month is spent on the foundation. This shows the importance of the foundation. Therefore, after seeing the three-foot-high wall that pops up,
When the wall was built, Yang Qi was not only not happy, but also a little angry. He ordered someone to find Chen Yao, who was in charge of building the city. When he saw Chen Yao, most of the anger in Yang Dezheng's chest disappeared.
In just a few days, the thin, frail, clean and fair Chen Yao disappeared. Chen Yao was seen with his trouser legs and sleeves rolled up, his hair messy, and his whole body dirty, like a beggar. Yang Dezheng took a look
, you knew that Chen Yao had been running around on the construction site and became like this. Yang Dezheng's scolding words came to his lips and turned into a cold question.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Chen Yao gasped in a low voice and grinned: "I was about to tell you about this, General. Originally, the pass we organized was sixteen feet away from here.
However, when it was time to lay the foundation, an old man told his subordinates that when the Liao people destroyed the Chenjiakou Pass, they only demolished the city wall and did not destroy the foundation.
The subordinates sent people to search around, and sure enough they found the foundation of the original Chenjiakou Pass. The subordinates ordered people to clear out the foundations and found that the original foundations were very stable and still usable. The subordinates quickly sent people to report to the general.
, General, you gave us permission to build the city here. With the original foundation here, we don’t have to waste time laying the foundation directly. We can build the city directly."
Chen Yao scratched his head shyly and smiled dryly: "I know the progress is a bit slow, but the people have been working day and night. This is already the fastest speed." Yang Dezheng was stunned and looked carefully.
After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that Chen Yao sent someone to report the matter to him two days ago. At that time, he was busy reforming the Renaissance Army and selecting elite soldiers, so he just said, "Let Chen Yao see what he does" and reported the matter to him.
The people were sent away.
He almost mistakenly blamed Chen Yao. Yang Dezheng twitched his lips and smiled dryly: "Well done, keep up the hard work. But you can't act carelessly just to dare to make progress. If you resist the easternmost city wall, you must face the Liao army's charge.
, so it must be built solidly." Chen Yao nodded heavily and said: "I understand that I will never dare to act carelessly." Yang Dezheng gave Chen Yao a few more words and sent Chen Yao to continue working.
live.
He took Wang Xing around the three-foot-high wall and arrived outside the wall. Strolling outside Chenjiakou, Yang Dezheng looked around and felt something was wrong there. After walking around for a long time, he saw that there were two buildings in Chenjiakou.
The mountains on the side are covered with trees. They are lush and green.
Immediately, Yang Dezheng said: "Send people to mobilize all the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Renaissance Army. Let them cut down all the trees on the east side of the mountains on both sides and the trees on the top of the mountains, and send them to the construction site for use as supports. At the same time, he warned
When they cut down trees, they must not cut them all down, but must leave a foot-high stubble."
The messenger went down to convey Yang Qi's order with a confused look on his face. The people around Yang Dezheng were also at a loss. Only Wang Xing, who was carrying the banner, said thoughtfully: "General, are you afraid?"
The Liao people came from the forests on both sides of the mountains to raid, so they ordered people to cut down the trees. The reason why the tree stubble was left was to use it to trip horses. The Liao people had many cavalry, and once the tree stubble was used as a shield
.Basically, the Liao people have no idea of a sneak attack."
Yang Dezheng stared at Wang Xing with a half-smile but said with a smile: "I can't tell, you are quite discerning. Your previous identity must be unusual, right?" Wang Xing's old face turned red and he coughed dryly: "It's all in the past.
It's over, why bring it up now..." Since Wang Xing didn't want to say it, Yang Dezheng didn't dig into the problem. Yang Dezheng sighed and said: "Time is urgent, so this is the only way to do it. If there is enough time,
If so, the city wall should be built all the way up the mountain range. Then, two more military strongholds should be built on the top of the two hills. In that case, it would be difficult for the Liao people to fly in even if they had wings."
Wang Xing heard this and praised: "The general is wise." Yang Dezheng rolled his eyes and said: "It's not me who is wise, it's my father who is wise." The method of building a city mentioned by Yang Dezheng was what Yang Yanzhao used at Yanmen Pass.
Yang Yanzhao guarded Yanmen Pass for ten years, built a city wall of nearly 20 miles along the mountains, and established three military strongholds.
The so-called Sanguan Stronghold refers to the three military strongholds built by Yang Yanzhao at Yanmen Pass. When Wang Xing heard Yang Dezheng's words, he was shocked and said: "Could your Majesty be the guard general of Yanmen Pass, the legendary Yang Yanzhao and Yang Liulang?"
Dezheng pursed his lips and did not answer Wang Xing's question.
Obviously, Yang Dezheng did not want to wear the hat of Yang Liulang's son in the eyes of his subordinates. Yang Dezheng inspected the city wall, and when he finally reached the edge of the city wall, he proposed to build a building outside the city wall.
After the suggestion to build a moat, I led others to respond.
Regarding the construction of the city, although Yang Dezheng was anxious, he could not rush it. He knew in his heart that once he urged it, it would easily lead to a shoddy project. When Yang Dezheng returned to the military camp, he found a huge group of refugees.
They gathered in the open space near the military camp and settled down. At the same time, there were tens of thousands of war horses galloping and neighing. Upon seeing these, Yang Dezheng's face flashed with joy, and his steps became much brisker.
After Yang Dezheng entered his Chinese army tent, he saw Yang Gui and Yang Xin waiting for him inside. Yang Xin was the person next to Yang Bajie. This time Yang Bajie was transferred to Yang Dezheng coldly. That time Yang Bajie was at Yanmen Pass.
Yang Peng was scolded by Yang Peng for being confused about the matter, and the news is still there. When the three brothers met, it was inevitable for them to exchange pleasantries.
After the three of them sat down, Yang Dezheng said with emotion: "My brother Yao, you are finally here. I feel relieved that you have arrived." Yang Xin's eyes kept looking outside the tent, and it seemed that he did not talk to Yang Dezheng.
In his mind, his soul had been taken away by the army outside that was preparing to cut down the trees. Yang Gui glanced at Yang Xin, shook his head and smiled, and said to Yang Dezheng: "After receiving your letter, your brother Yang and I will
Xin quickly walked here slowly. But with a large number of refugees under his command, he couldn't walk fast at all."
Yang Dezheng said excitedly: "It's good to come, it's good to come..." Yang Gui smiled and said with emotion: "Now Yang Xin and I have almost become soldiers under your command, and we must listen to you everywhere."
The general is dispatching. This letter of yours is more effective than a military order." Yang Dezheng grinned and said: "Yang Gui, are you making fun of me? Do you and I, brothers, still have a hierarchy?"
Yang Gui waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know that I won't get any favors from you, a prostitute, by talking nonsense. Brother, I won't joke with you anymore, let's talk about business." Yang Dezheng immediately acted like he was all ears. Yang Gui said seriously.
"Before coming to Shengzhou, my father sent me a letter asking me to advise you not to attack Fengzhou." Yang Dezheng pondered for a moment and immediately understood Yang Yanzhao's concerns.
Yang Dezheng laughed happily and said: "From the moment I arrived in Daizhou, Shengzhou has been included in the territory of Daizhou. Now that Shengzhou has been taken, it is impossible to hand it over again, right?" Yang
Dezheng joked: "I don't dare to do this kind of thing, I'm afraid of being poked in the back." Yang Gui pointed at Yang Dezheng with a dumbfounded expression, "You, you..." As Yang Gui's eldest brother, the letter handed over by Yang Yanzhao,
He has the responsibility and obligation to perform it. But execution is execution.
Yang Gui applauded Yang Dezheng's victory over Shengzhou. After conveying Yang Yanzhao's words, he stopped talking about whether to stay in Shengzhou. Yang Gui sat down seriously and said in a deep voice: "Come here.
On the way, I heard someone say that you are building a city at Chenjiakou?" Yang Gui nodded, "After taking Shengzhou this time, the Liao people will definitely not give up and will definitely invade in a large scale. At present, our troops are limited and it is impossible to fight with the Liao people.
We are facing the enemy. We can only step up the construction of city walls and use the power of the city walls to resist the Liao people."
Yang Gui nodded and said: "Your ideas and actions are correct. If you work so hard, I, the eldest brother, can't hold you back. This time, you and I, Yang Xin, have gathered a total of 120,000 refugees. This time
But they are all laborers, and they are all sent to build the city." Yang Dezheng cupped his hands and said: "Brother Lao will take care of building the city." Yang Gui waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brothers, you and I, don't be so polite."
At this time, Yang Xin suddenly turned his head and said: "What about me?" Yang Dezheng said solemnly: "The Ye Qiganbo troops are stationed on the border of Shengzhou and they have great intentions of attacking Shengzhou. From now on, I will bring 20,000 people with me.
The soldiers and horses go to the border of Shengzhou to have a showdown with Ye Qiganbo. Yang Xin, you will be responsible for sitting in Chenjiakou with your eldest brother. I will leave the remaining 10,000 Renaissance Army rangers under your control, fifth brother.
In addition, it is time to prepare for the establishment of heavy armored cavalry. Yang Xin, you can select qualified heavy armored cavalry soldiers while training these 10,000 Renaissance Army rangers." Yang Xin is a persistent person.
He was obsessed with training troops and commanding troops in combat. Therefore, Yang Dezheng was very satisfied with Yang Xin's arrangement. The arrival of Yang Gui and Yang Xin completely solved Yang Dezheng's worries.
He entrusted the affairs of Chenjiakou to Yang Da, and then to Yang Xin's 10,000 rangers. He himself took 20,000 revival army infantry and rushed to the border of Shengzhou to rush for reinforcements.
The junction of Shengzhou and Fengzhou.
The temporary camp set up by Fan Long. Yang Dezheng led 20,000 Renaissance Army infantry into the camp, but Fan Long did not come to greet him. What greeted Yang Dezheng was the regimental commander of the second regiment of the Renaissance Rangers. "My subordinate Grantai saw the general.
." Tuanzheng Grantai of the Second Regiment of the Renaissance Rangers is a burly man. Because his martial arts and equestrian skills are quite prestigious in the army, he has a high prestige among the Renaissance Rangers.
He was also one of the first lieutenants to follow Fan Long, and was promoted to the rank of Second Regiment Commander due to his meritorious service. He was a typical Party member who spoke straightforwardly and did not know how to beat around the bush. Yang Dezheng sat on the horse and looked around the camp.
The soldiers and horses asked: "Where is General Fan Long?" Grantai said stiffly: "This morning, the soldiers and horses dispatched by Ye Qiganbo from Dangxiang inland arrived, a total of 50,000 people. General Fan Long is afraid of the enemy.
We took the opportunity to launch an attack, so we took the troops from the First Regiment of the Renaissance Rangers and went to reinforce them."
Yang Dezheng raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Ye Qiganbo actually dispatched 50,000 horses to come for reinforcements. It seems that he really wants to take a bite of Shengzhou." Yang Dezheng sighed with emotion. After feeling with emotion, he
He ordered Grantai: "Grantai, please go down and put the entire second regiment of Renaissance Rangers on alert. Be ready to enter the battlefield at any time."
Grantet held up his hands and said: "I obey." After giving the order, Yang Dezheng had no intention of staying in the camp any longer. He also did not let the Fuxing Army infantry enter the battlefield. Instead, he led the 20,000 Fuxing Army soldiers.
The infantrymen left the camp and rushed directly to the battlefield.
At this point in the war, Yang Dezheng has no choice but to go head-to-head with the wild beggar Ganbo. The entire war situation has developed to this day, and there is no room left for conspiracy. Everything has to rely on strength. In terms of comparison of strength.
In other words, although the difference in strength between the two sides is only 10,000.
However, the gap in combat effectiveness is huge. At present, the 10,000 soldiers of Yang Qi's family army can be regarded as elite soldiers and strong generals. The Dangxiang people who have become monks on the way can only be regarded as barely qualified soldiers. There is still a large gap
All the troops were recruited from Shengzhou.
Moreover, from the equipment point of view, Yang Dezheng is also obviously at a disadvantage. Except for the soldiers of the Zhejia Army, Yang Dezheng has 50,000 troops. The remaining soldiers only have a sword and scattered weapons captured from Shengzhou.
A few armors.
In other words, the troops currently under Yang Dezheng's command are called soldiers and horses at best, but they are a group of civilians holding knives at worst. Looking at the total of 60,000 soldiers and horses here in Ye Qiganbo, they are not only
There are standard war horses, as well as armor, scimitars and many other equipment. Their combat effectiveness is much stronger than the soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng's command.
Because the two sides were facing each other head-on, it was a bit difficult to fight. When Yang Dezheng led 20,000 Renaissance Army infantry to the battlefield, he saw Fan Long leading 10,000 soldiers of the Zhejia Army and 10,000 Renaissance Rangers fighting with the field.
Begging for support.
The soldiers and horses under the command of Qi Ganbo on the opposite side were obviously eager to try. The soldiers and horses under the command of Fan Long seemed a little reserved and serious. When the 20,000 Renaissance Army infantry led by Yang Dezheng arrived, Yang Dezheng was obviously capable.
I felt that the soldiers and horses under Fan Long breathed a sigh of relief. The 20,000 infantrymen of the Renaissance Army merged into the soldiers and horses under Fan Long.
Yang Dezheng immediately arrived in front of the two armies and reached Fan Long's side. Fan Long was obviously relieved when he saw Yang Dezheng. He also took the initiative to give up his position as the general. Yang Dezheng turned to ask Fan Long and whispered: "
What's the situation now?" Fan Long lowered his voice and said solemnly: "The war is about to break out." Yang Dezheng was stunned, "The opponent's military strength and combat effectiveness are obviously superior, why didn't they attack?"
Fan Long pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "Yeqi Ganbo said that he did not want to invade Shengzhou, so he could give us a chance to hand over the murderers of his eldest son and youngest son, and the matter would be solved.
"
Yang Dezheng was stunned and sneered: "Does he not want to invade Shengzhou? He doesn't want to offend the Liao people. If Shengzhou is in our hands, we have to bear the anger of the Liao people. But once Shengzhou is in his hands, he
He had to bear the wrath of the Liao people. He didn't want to offend the northern overlord of Liao, so he took this tactic.
From this point of view, although his son is important in the heart of Yeqi Ganbo, he is not important enough to offend the Liao people for his son." Fan Long nodded silently. After understanding the whole story, Yang Dezheng felt that
I saw Yang Dezheng stepping forward on his horse, arriving in front of the two armies, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Are they the soldiers and horses of the leader of Ye Qiganbo on the opposite side?"
Among the soldiers and horses of the Yeqi tribe, Yeqi Ganbo heard Yang Dezheng calling him by his first name, and his brows wrinkled visibly. Compared with a month ago, Yeqi Ganbo was obviously much older.
His vigor has also been reduced a lot, replaced by an aging spirit. Although Yeqi Ganbo was dissatisfied with Yang Dezheng calling for his life, he did not make any extreme reaction.
He just waved his hand at the deputy general beside him. The deputy general immediately understood what he meant, and also rode his horse to the front of the two armies. "These are the soldiers and horses of my leader, who are you?" Yang Dezheng said with a playful smile:
"Who am I, you ask? I am the benefactor of your leader." When the deputy general heard this, he immediately shouted: "Fart, nonsense."
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
