He stood up and said excitedly: "Pass on my order and order the privy envoy Cao Bin and the horse infantry commander Hu Yanbixiang to lead the troops back to the capital. When they return to the capital, I will definitely reward them for their merits."
Zhao Heng ordered Gao Hu and Ding Wei again, "Gao Aiqing, Ding Aiqing, you two can order all the troops and horses. When Cao Aiqing and Huyan Aiqing return to Beijing, you will immediately lead the Dragon Guard Army, the Divine Guard Army, a total of 100,000 forbidden troops."
, go north to attack the disobedient people." Zhao Heng almost decided on the military campaign in the northwest without giving anyone else a chance to interrupt. Li Hang, the Eighth Prince, Kou Zhun and others tried to interrupt, but Zhao Heng was cruel to them.
His eyes stared back...
Yang Dezheng, who was far away in Fuxingguan, didn't know that Zhao Heng had already ordered 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack him and the Zhe family. At this moment, he was standing on the top of the city, watching the enemy approaching.
Brother Yeluxiu of the Liao army did not hold back, and the 150,000 troops came forward together, creating a mass of darkness. Even though the Fuxing infantry and the Jin army on the city had been boosted by Yang Dezheng once before, they faced the 150,000 Liao army.
, my heart was still full of fear.
Many soldiers were swallowing their saliva subconsciously. Yang Dezheng was wearing armor, and his whole body looked a little stiff. Under the armor, there were layers of white cloth. He was obviously seriously injured, but he still stood on the top of the city.
It was precisely because of his presence that the fearful soldiers did not panic or run away.
Whenever they have bad thoughts in their minds, they look at Yang Dezheng, who is standing upright, and they seem to be able to get help from him. Yang Gui and Yang Xin have already gone to the two wings of Fuxing Pass to preside over the battle.
The only people around Yang Dezheng were Yang Qi and Wang Xing, who was carrying the flag.
Yang Qi clicked her lips, tugged the lips on her chin, and said with a solemn expression: "Brother Yelvxiu has seen your intention yesterday. The momentum and scene created by his large army today have already reduced the momentum and scene you rushed to kill yesterday.
The morale has been inspired..." Yang Dezheng stared at the enemy troops outside the city and said calmly: "Brother Yelvxiu is a master of military arts. He blocked Zhao Guangyi's two invasions. He is not in vain. I am so little.
Naturally, I can't hide my thoughts from him."
Yang Dezheng smiled bitterly and said: "Now we are at a disadvantage in this head-to-head style of fighting. The rejuvenation infantry and the Jin army are far behind the Liao army outside the city." Yang Dezheng frowned and ordered the king beside him
Okay, "Go and bring a chair over and put it in the center of Fuxing Gate, the most conspicuous place for me."
When Wang Xing heard this, he was obviously in a daze. Yang Qi exclaimed: "You want to control the morale of the army like this? It's too risky..." Yang Dezheng twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "The Liao army is really capable, just take it from me
My life. If they can't kill me, that's the end of it..." Yang Dezheng said this calmly, but full of arrogance.
Yang Qi moved forward, grabbed Yang Dezheng's arm, lowered his voice, and said: "You have to think clearly. Once you appear in the sight of the Liao army, the place where you are will definitely become the most vulnerable place for the Liao army to attack."
It's a violent place. If you're not careful, you will die. Moreover, you are seriously injured and must stay in bed for rest. Staying outside for a long time is not good for your condition.
Yang Peng and your mother asked me to come out of the mountain just to take care of you three brothers. They didn't ask me to help you collect the bodies." Yang Dezheng grinned and said: "Ba Gu, you are worried, I understand. However, the Liao people want to
It's not easy to take away my life. With my body, I can't rush to kill you now, and it's hard for the soldiers at the top of the smart city to fight. All I have to do is you and my two brothers."
Seeing that Yang Dezheng had made up his mind, Yang Qi had no way to stop him. As the head coach of Fuxingguan, it would be difficult for Yang Qi to question his orders openly. Once he did, Yang Dezheng's prestige in the military would definitely be destroyed.
It was somewhat damaged. Wang Xing quickly moved a chair and placed it in the most conspicuous place on the city wall.
In the doubtful eyes of all the soldiers on the city, Yang Dezheng sat on a chair with a golden sword. He grinned at the soldiers staring at him from all directions and said: "The Liao army is nothing to be afraid of. It can be hacked to death with one strike."
Two. This general kills the Liao army, just like killing pigs and sheep. As soldiers under my command, naturally you cannot weaken the name of this general. If anyone is timid, don’t tell others when you go out that you are my subordinate, Yang Yansi.
soldiers.
Our army will definitely win today's battle. I will stay here for a while, and when you win, call me again." As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Dezheng lay down on the chair, closed his eyes and fell asleep. It seemed that he was sleeping.
In his eyes, the Liao army outside the city was nothing to worry about.
Yang Dezheng's free and easy performance made the revival soldiers beside him very excited. In their hearts, they thought of the figure standing tall at the junction of Fengzhou and Shengzhou, and also thought of the figure who went to the meeting alone outside the city yesterday.
.For a moment, they suddenly felt that there was really nothing to fear from the Liao army outside the city.
They subconsciously gathered around Yang Dezheng. Yang Dezheng slept soundly next to them so confidently, which also meant that he had entrusted his life and death to them. This is a great trust and a great responsibility. At the same time, Yang Dezheng
The story of sleeping soundly on top of the city quickly spread among the Fuxing infantry and Jin troops. Some people did not believe it and quietly sent people over to inquire about it. After confirming that it was true.
The soldiers on the top of the city were all shocked. Their hands holding the weapons became much harder, and their eyes became firm. Not long after Yang Dezheng leaned on the chair, a thunderous roar came out
snore.
All the soldiers who heard Yang Dezheng's snoring became extremely excited as if they had taken aphrodisiacs. Some even eagerly hoped that the Liao army would arrive soon. However, the only person present was Yang Dezheng, who had grown up watching Yang Dezheng.
Dezheng knows.
Yang Dezheng never snores when he sleeps. The Liao army outside the city is approaching. Today, the Liao army is leading the attack with Xiao Tianzuo. Xiao She eats Yang seven or two golden monkeys to subdue the demon. He is seriously injured and cannot go out to fight.
After Xiao Tianzuo led the Liao army to approach the Fuxing Pass, he took the lead in launching a trebuchet attack. The trebuchet was a vital weapon in siege warfare. Stones as big as a human head were projected by the trebuchet, as if they were
The hailstones fell and made shallow pits one after another on the bluestone Fuxing Gate.
When a stone falls on a person, it can smash him into pieces in an instant. A living person suddenly turns into a half-meat next to you. The scene is very scary. Fear arises in the heart, and people
When facing the stones thrown by the trebuchet, they will subconsciously dodge.
This easily disrupts the camp that has been deployed. However, although most of the city leaders are new soldiers, they are guided by experienced veterans. After welcoming the first round of trebuchets from the Liao army,
Yang Qi, Yang Gui, and Yang Xin, commanding the generals of the Yang family, led the soldiers and horses on the city top and hid on the four-foot-high eaves. Of course, this could not avoid all trebuchets.
The stone, but it would dodge most of it. "Pop!" A stone hit Yang Dezheng's feet and instantly fell into pieces. Wang Xing subconsciously wanted to pull Yang Dezheng away. But he stopped after taking a step forward.
pace.
Yang Dezheng did not move. Wang Xing was neither an idiot nor a new recruit. He was an old soldier who had struggled on the battlefield against Liao. He was certain that Yang Qi was awake.
Such a big stone fell at his feet, and even stones hit his legs, but he didn't move. This shows that Yang Dezheng has no intention of moving.
Wang Xing cannot destroy Yang Dezheng's inner thoughts. This is the most basic ethics of a soldier. Although Wang Xing cannot pull Yang Dezheng away, he can stand in front of Yang Dezheng and use his old bones to help Yang Dezheng.
Serve as a human shield.
However, he hadn't moved yet. The revival infantry around Yang Dezheng moved first. They quickly defended in front of Yang Dezheng, forming an arc-shaped human wall. At the same time, in front of them, there were ten more
A shield made of fine iron.
Wang Xing was visibly relieved. He quietly looked at Yang Dezheng, only to find that Yang Dezheng continued to snore as if nothing was wrong. He was secretly sweating for Yang Dezheng, and at the same time he sincerely admired Yang Dezheng.
The Liao army's trebuchets under the city were constantly throwing stones. As the Liao army approached, a crossbow gun also shot at the wall.
"Ding ding ding~" A fine iron crossbow gun was shot on the wall of Fuxing Pass. It instantly bent and was bounced away. A series of crossbow guns were blocked by the bluestone, and the crisp sounds they made were connected. The distance was
In the Liao army, which was only a hundred feet away from the city wall, Xiao Tianzuo looked at the bounced crossbow and his pupils shrank.
"This is the city wall that Yang Dezheng spent fifteen days building... How much manpower and material resources did it cost..." Since the crossbow gun did not work on the bluestone wall, Xiao Tianzuo could only use the most primitive methods of siege.
.
Cloud ladders! Siege chisels! Climbing vehicles! The vanguard of the Liao army carried short ladders and set them up on the moat against the rain of arrows shot from the city wall. The Fuxing infantry and the Jin army's crossbowmen were on top of the city.
, holding strong bows or hand crossbows, constantly throwing rain of arrows. Yang Qi's two Qiantianjing New City troops brought great losses to Xiao Tianzuo. Yang Qi blocked Xiao Tianzuo's attack of more than 10,000 people.
, there were bang, bang gunshots everywhere, frightening the Khitans to avoid Yang Qi's attack and turn to Yang Gui.
The Liao army fell in pieces while cutting wheat. However, there were too many Liao troops under the city, and it seemed like they could not kill them all. When they rose up, some infantry even joined the archers. Under the city
There are so many Liao soldiers that there is no need to aim at all. Just shoot one more arrow to hurt or even kill a Liao soldier.
Many Liao troops fell under the rain of arrows, but they still rushed across the moat. The Liao troops who crossed the moat cut off the bridge that was hoisted over the moat, and pushed the siege behind them.
The troops who drilled the ground paved the way. "Gudu~" On the top of the city, a Jin soldier gulped secretly. "We have killed so many Liao troops, and they are still rushing forward. Aren't they afraid of death?"
The general of the Yang family beside him was bending his bow and nodding an arrow while explaining: "There are too many people. Those in front will be pushed forward by those behind them, even if they don't want to charge. From now on."
After you have experienced many battles, you will understand." The Jin soldiers nodded subconsciously. The Liao army rushed to the city, and the siege chisels, city climbing vehicles, and ladders were quickly set up. Seeing the Liao army gathering under the city, they gathered more and more.
The more. Yang Gui loudly ordered, "Put on the fierce fire oil, add the golden juice." Buckets of fierce fire oil were pushed down the city head, hitting the heads of the Liao army, and they were torn into pieces. Then a round of torches were thrown.
Come down.
In an instant, a sea of fire formed in front of Fuxing Pass. The Liao army, stained with fierce fire oil, instantly turned into a burning man. They roared miserably and began to rush around. The city seemed to suddenly become a
It was a blazing hell. When the timid Jin army on the top of the city saw this scene, their legs were trembling.
Someone bent over and began to vomit. The fierce fire oil was very lethal, and it was a very scarce military material in the Song Dynasty. Even the former Volcano Army was not qualified to equip it. The fierce fire oil at Fuxing Pass was secretly sent by Yang Peng.
.The Liao army has been fighting against the Song Dynasty all year round. They have also seen the power of fierce fire oil, and they also know how to restrain fierce fire oil.
The Liao army rushing up from behind quickly dug earth from the ground to extinguish the flames. After the fierce Liao army quickly extinguished the flames in front of them, they began to climb up the ladder and push the siege chisel.
The Liao army also began to use siege chisels to attack the city gates. The Liao army surged to the top of the city. The soldiers on the top of the city poured gold juice, pushed rocks and rolled logs to resist the Liao army's attack.
The two sides engaged in a brutal fight in front of Fuxing Pass. Before the battle, Yang Qi's warning to Yang Dezheng came true. The location of Yang Dezheng was as dazzling as a torch in the night. The Liao army that attacked Yang Dezheng's location
The Liao army was the largest. The Liao army was also the first to occupy this section of the city wall.
The Fuxing infantry guarding in front of Yang Dezheng showed extraordinary tenacity and strength. They almost ignored their personal lives and started a fierce fight with the Liao army. The Liao army attacked from here ten times.
He was beaten back ten times by them. But they always kept the battle line one foot in front of Yang Dezheng.
Even if they die, they will not take a step back. Even if they kill two hundred people until the end, and there are only fifteen people left, they still do not take a step back. What is surprising is that when the number of soldiers guarding in front of Yang Dezheng dropped sharply.
At this moment, Yang Dezheng's life seemed to be more important than the lives of all of them. The battle lasted for a whole day, from morning to evening. The Liao army used all their strength to attack the city, and successively attacked the first two buildings of the city.
They tried more than ten times, but they were all repulsed. The battle was extremely fierce.
The casualties on both sides were tens of thousands. The corpses were piled ten feet high under the Fuxing Pass. The charred corpses burned to death by fierce fire oil smelled of meat, and the corpses scalded to death by golden juice were full of stench. The smell of meat and the stench were mixed.
Together, the whole Fuxing Pass is filled.
The guards in front of Yang Dezheng have changed to five groups. The group of people who originally guarded Yang Qi now only have one man whose arm was chopped off by the Liao army. Five groups of people, nearly
Of the five hundred people, less than twenty survived. These twenty people guarded Yang Dezheng like an iron tower.
When night fell, the Liao army outside the city withdrew to their camp. At Fuxing Pass, torches were lit one after another, forming a fire dragon. Yang Qi bypassed the barrier that blocked the night. The Liao army outside the city withdrew to their camp. At Fuxing Pass, torches were lit one after another,
A fire dragon was formed. When Yang Qi bypassed the guard blocking Yang Dezheng and was about to wake up Yang Dezheng, he found that Yang Dezheng was actually asleep.
Yang Gui and Yang Xin rushed over and saw this scene. The three of them looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled bitterly. "He will be lifted to rest." Yang Qi ordered the guards around Yang Dezheng. The guards lifted him up without saying a word.
He took Yang Dezheng and sent him to the city gate building.
Yang Gui and Yang Xin helped Yang Dezheng take off his armor, and after placing Yang Dezheng in place, they left the city gate building. Yang Gui smiled bitterly and said: "He is really big-hearted. I heard from my subordinates that he was sleeping soundly on the top of the city.
I thought he was pretending to stabilize the morale of the army, but I didn’t expect that he actually fell asleep.”
Yang Qi pursed his lips and said with a complicated expression: "It was true that he was pretending at the beginning, but in the end, he really fell asleep." Yang Gui said with emotion: "I am afraid that today's scene will be spread out soon. His
I’m afraid my reputation will become even more powerful again.”
Yang Qi waved his hand and said: "How powerful his reputation is, it doesn't matter what we say. He is sleeping, and we can't be idle. You go to the camp under the city wall to arrange for the soldiers who were injured today. Yang Xin
, you go to the workshop behind the city and ask them to speed up the construction of arrows. At the same time, you lead the people to replenish the rolling wood, stones and gold juice on the city head as soon as possible.
The purpose of the Liao people's invasion this time is to wipe out Qilang and his men. Brother Yelvxiu will never give up until the goal is achieved, so we must be prepared for a long-term war."
Yang Gui and Yang Xin hugged their fists and quickly got off the city wall. Yang Qi stood guard on the city wall, looking at the Liao camp with bonfires outside the city, reminiscing about the past. Yang Dezheng slept all night. He woke up the next day.
At that time, he was woken up by the doctor who was changing the dressing. The doctor changed the medicine for Yang Dezheng and bandaged Yang Dezheng's wound again. Yang Dezheng wanted to put on his armor and go to inspect the city, but the doctor sternly refused.
Already.
"Young Master, you put on that Mingguang Armor, it is airtight all over your body. It is easy to suppurate after the injury. When the injury becomes serious, I will not be able to explain to the Master and Madam." The doctor, who is about thirty years old, is serious.
With his horse face, he refused to let Yang Dezheng put on the armor. In the end, Yang Dezheng had no choice but to put on a long gown, tightly wrapped himself and appeared on the top of the city.
The twenty soldiers who guarded Yang Dezheng yesterday, led by Ma Mian and Peng Pai, guarded on both sides of Yang Dezheng. Wang Xing carried the big flag and followed Yang Dezheng with a smile. Yang Dezheng inspected the top of the city.
After taking a lap, I found some differences.
In yesterday's battle, the soldiers on the city suffered heavy casualties. However, the soldiers no longer had the fear and uneasiness of yesterday. Instead, they had firm eyes and a calm atmosphere. It seemed that after yesterday's training, they had
From a new soldier, he transformed into a veteran soldier.
There was no longer any intention to retreat among the soldiers, instead there was an aggressive spirit. After a great battle, the soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng's command were finally tempered to some extent.
Yang Dezheng was very pleased with this. Even his steps became much brisker. However, when he heard Yang Qi's statistics of the number of killed and injured soldiers, his face turned a little dark.
Yang Qi held a roster in his hand. The roster was filled with names densely written in red pen. "After approval, in yesterday's battle, our army's death toll was 3,000, and as many as 13,000 soldiers were injured.
.”
Yang Qi reported these figures calmly. Yang Dezheng said in disbelief: "How could there be so many casualties?" Yang Qi said with emotion: "Most of the soldiers are new to the military formation. When they encounter the enemy, they will inevitably
It is reasonable to be panicked, die and be injured."
Seeing Yang Dezheng's ugly face, Yang Qi explained with a smile: "This is much better than expected. At the beginning of yesterday's war, I expected the number of casualties to be 40,000." Hearing this number of casualties, Yang Dezheng said
He was no longer in the mood to stay on the top of the city. He temporarily handed over the command of the city to Yang Qi, and led his people into the wounded soldiers camp to inspect.
After inspecting the wounded barracks, he found many dissatisfactions. He immediately made planned changes to many rules in the wounded barracks. Moreover, Yang Dezheng also left Peng Pai in the wounded barracks to supervise everything.
In Fuxingguan, there is nothing but a large number of people. With a large amount of manpower investment, the situation of the entire wounded barracks is rapidly improving. The originally dirty and messy wounded barracks has become the cleanest in Guancheng under Yang Qi's plan.
After combing through the injured barracks, Yang Dezheng rushed to the weapons workshop, armor workshop and other workshops.
After visiting several major workshops, Yang Dezheng transferred 150,000 civilians from the civilian camp outside Fuxingguan. One hundred thousand of them, led by Ma Mian, went to Fengzhou to mine and transport iron ore.
The remaining 50,000 civilians were crammed into the major workshops. When all the facilities were in the most basic and primitive state, Yang Qi could only shorten the construction period by adding a large amount of labor.
The injection of 50,000 apprentices also prompted the major workshops to quickly start working, and they were casting ordnance almost around the clock.
Yang Dezheng sorted out everything in Fuxing Pass. When he climbed to the top of the city, the Liao army came over again in darkness. The siege strategy adopted by the Liao army today was very unique. The Liao army outside the city was divided into ten groups.
, began to attack the city in a staircase shape.
The siege of the city was carried out echelon by echelon, with no intention of stopping. The Fuxing infantry and the Jin army on the city wall were exhausted to cope with the Liao army's siege. However, compared to yesterday's unfamiliarity and timidity, today's Fuxing infantry and
The Jin army performed in a decent manner.
Yang Dezheng came to Yang Hong, who was commanding the battle on the top of the city, and frowned: "What are the Liao troops doing today?" Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Did you see it too?" Yang Dezheng nodded.
Said: "Although the offensive is rapid and fierce, it does not have the same pressure as yesterday. I always feel that these Liao troops are not trying their best."
"Hahaha..." Yang Qi laughed loudly, "It's just a tactic to tire out the enemy. If we don't have any countermeasures, they will keep attacking until all the soldiers and horses on the city are exhausted, and then they will swarm up.
Yang Dezheng pondered and asked Yang Hong, "How are you going to deal with it?" Yang Qi stroked her beautiful hair confidently and said: "Hit one group and kill another." Soon Yang Dezheng saw the slap in Yang Qi's mouth.
It's a tactic of killing a group of people.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
