Yang Peng waved his hand, "Let's talk about these things later. The top priority is to deal with the Khitan army outside the city!" He looked at Zhongshidao and asked, "General, what do you think?" Zhongshidao cupped his fists and said, "The general is so powerful that I am naturally above it.
The general is following his lead!" "If that's the case, then I will do my part!"
Brother Ye Qianxiu led 50,000 cavalry into Gan Buli's military camp. Gan Buli immediately reported the situation: "Currently, there are 30,000 original defenders in Huailai Mansion, 30,000 soldiers who retreated in defeat, and 30,000 Yanyun troops.
, nearly 100,000 troops.”
Brother Ye Qianxiu felt a little surprised, "There are so many Yanyun troops in the city?" "The Yanyun army has a total of 50,000 troops. I am ashamed. I have fallen into Yang Peng's way before, and his 20,000 troops passed me by.
They passed through underneath and caused so much trouble to the armies of the two great kings!"
Brother Ye Qianxiu waved his hand, "I can't blame you! Hey, the Yan Yun Army is indeed the best choice in the world! If other Song armies were as iron-blooded and brave as the Yan Yun Army, we in the Liao Kingdom would be
Trouble!" Gan Buli felt the same way.
Brother Yeqianxiu thought for a moment and asked: "Do you think we should attack Huailai Mansion?" When Brother Yeqianxiu asked this, Handerang happened to come in after changing. Hearing Brother Yeqianxiu's question, he immediately
He said angrily: "Our army should attack Huailai Mansion and massacre the whole city!"
Brother Ye Qianxiu didn't answer, and looked at Gan Buli. Gan Buli thought for a moment, frowned and said: "Huailai Fucheng is high up and wide by the river, and it is located on the Yi Tuo River and backed by mountains. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, there is plenty of money and food in the city, and the people are strong and strong.
.It would be fine if only the Song army was stationed, but now there are 30,000 Yanyun troops here, and General Yang Peng is personally in charge! Although our army is large in number, it does not have a big advantage. I am afraid it will be difficult to attack Huailai.
Mansion! The general’s intention is that it is better to withdraw to Jingxing and make plans again!”
Handerang stared and said: "How can this be done?" Brother Ye Qianxiu thought: "What I want to know most is, what is the situation on Huanggu's side? If Huanggu is still attacking Juyongguan, we should not withdraw our troops.
!" The so-called heroes see the same thing. At this moment, Yang Peng's thoughts were also closed in Juyong.
Under the Juyong Pass, the fierce battle that has lasted for more than twenty days has not stopped. The Liao army continued to attack the city, and the Yanyun army relied on the dangerous terrain to resist desperately. There were mountains of corpses under the pass, and the remains of various siege equipment were scattered in the wasteland.
Above; the gray-white wall has completely lost its original color at this moment, and it has been dyed red by the blood of both sides! The 10,000 Western Army and the 10,000 Yanyun Army have run out of fuel, and the 100,000 Liao Army has also been exhausted.
!
As the sun set, Ye Qi Guanyin looked at the city gate that was still standing in front of her, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed. Her eyes couldn't help but fall on the flying tiger flag fluttering on the ruined city gate, her beautiful eyes showed resentment and yet
Come with an expression of admiration.
Ye Qi Guanyin left the tent and came to the middle of the army. All she saw were wounded soldiers, wailing. In this fierce battle for almost a month, her 100,000 soldiers paid a heavy price of nearly half of the casualties, but she still saw
There is no hope of victory, the battle flag of Yanyun Army is still fluttering in the wind, and the soldiers of Yanyun Army are still guarding the city gate! Maybe it is time to retreat? But Yeyi Guanyin is a little unwilling!
At this time, Hu Yanbixian, the general guarding Juyong Pass, was very worried. Because he did not have many soldiers under his command. There were 10,000 Xi Army and 10,000 Yan Yun Army, totaling 20,000 troops. At this moment, there were only more than 13,000 people left. He was really worried.
He didn't know how long he could hold on. He had already sent seven letters to Yanjing asking for help, but the replies all told him to hold on. He understood that the 50,000 Yanyun troops stationed in Jizhou could not be mobilized because 550,000
The Liao army is pressing in the direction of Gubei Pavilion, Longshan and Yuguan, and may launch a landslide and tsunami-like attack at any time! Although the fighting has not started in those three directions, the pressure is by no means less than what he is here! Hu Yanzhuo stood on the city wall, looking at
At the Liao army camp outside the city, he murmured: "It seems I can only bury these old bones here!"
Ye Qi Guanyin decided to continue the attack. She did not believe that the Yanyun army was made of iron. Even if it was made of iron, how much combat power would it have left after nearly a month of fierce fighting? The horns of the Liao army sounded, and the drums of the Liao army sounded.
He formed a fighting formation and prepared to launch an attack. At this moment, earth-shaking cheers suddenly erupted from the city gate opposite. Ye Qi Guanyin was shocked. Could it be that reinforcements from the Yanyun Army had arrived?
Before the thought was finished, the door suddenly opened, and a general rode out alone and came between the two armies. He was wearing an iron beast-faced swallowing head armor, a black cloak, and a red tassel on his head.
, holding an iron horse and riding a group of black dragon colts roaring in the wind, he is heroic and impressive, with his signature smile slightly raised at the corner of his mouth, it is none other than Yanyun General Yang Peng
!
When Ye Qi Guanyin saw Yang Peng coming, she immediately felt uneasy. Yang Peng smiled and said in a loud voice: "Miss Guanyin, you're welcome and safe!"
"Huh!" "Miss Guanyin, do you want to fight me alone, or do you want to fight with me in a group? No matter what, I will accompany you!" Yang Peng said with a smile, his tone was quite teasing and provocative, and at the same time, it also made people feel that he was
There are countless conspiracies hidden behind the cynical smile, just waiting for the opponent to get into it.
Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but think of the scene of being spanked by him before, her face turned red, and she was filled with shame and anger. She glanced at the city wall behind Yang Peng, and saw that all the sergeants standing on the wall looked as if they were unbearable.
The wounded soldier couldn't help but become more suspicious. His eyes returned to Yang Peng, and he shouted with gritted teeth: "Yang Peng, I will let you go today. Sooner or later, I will crush you to ashes to relieve you."
Hatred in my heart!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Why wait, let's do it today!" "Humph! I won't accompany you anymore!" Then he ordered the army to retreat. Yang Peng shouted at the back of Ye Qi Guanyin: "Beauty, I won't accompany you!"
I’ll give it to you!” Ye Qi Guanyin gritted her teeth in anger, but forced herself to ignore it.
Yang Peng smiled and turned his horse back to the city gate. There was no ambush in the city gate. There were still only the few thousand remnants of Hu Yanbixian. Yang Peng just showed weakness deliberately, but it made the resourceful Yeyi Guanyin doubt Yan.
The reinforcements of the Yun Army have arrived, and an ambush has been set up in the city pass.
Hu Yanbixian came to Yang Peng and said excitedly: "The general retreated from the enemy alone. He is really wise and brave!" Yang Peng glanced at the scarred soldiers around him and said in admiration: "It is because of your bravery that Liao
The soldiers dare not attack rashly! Thank you for your hard work!" The soldiers couldn't help their excitement and worshiped together: "I am willing to die for the general!"
Although Yang Peng estimated that Ye Qi Guanyin would not attack Juyong Pass in a short time, for the sake of safety, he still stayed at Juyong Pass and raised his general flag. At the same time, Yang Peng continued to send people to inquire about all aspects.
News. Not long after, news came from Huailai Mansion that Han Derang and Ye Qianxiu's troops had withdrawn from Huailai Mansion and returned to Jingxing. The 550,000 Liao troops pressing on the border on the northern front also all retreated.
Yang Peng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately ordered 20,000 Yanyun troops to be transferred from Jizhou and 5,000 Liao troops to be transferred from Tanzhou to reinforce Juyongguan.
Soon after, Yang Peng rushed back to Yanjing. As soon as he came back, he ordered a comprehensive expansion of the army and ordered the ordnance field to expand its scale and produce all kinds of ordnance. The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was running day and night like an extremely huge machine.
. There is another major event going on at the same time, which is to provide pensions for the casualties. In this battle, the Yanyun Army lost 10,000 people, and the former Western Army lost almost 10,000 people. According to the pension standards set by Yang Peng, at least 100,000 people must be spent.
Six hundred thousand taels of silver were used to compensate the relatives of the wounded and killed soldiers, and there was another grand sacrificial event at the Zhonghun Hall.
In the capital of the Liao Kingdom, celebrations and banquets continued for days, and the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom were immersed in ecstasy. After several days of carnival and banquets, Empress Dowager Xiao gathered all the civil and military ministers to discuss the next strategy. Brother Ye Qianxiu said with some regret:
"It's a pity that so many beauties were obtained, but they were allowed to escape again!" His father Xiao Zhan didn't shout: "Don't talk nonsense in front of the king!" Then he apologized to the Empress Dowager Xiao: "Brother Xiu made a mistake, your majesty.
Punish!"
Empress Dowager Xiao glanced at Brother Xiu, waved her hands and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. To be honest, I am very sorry for being alone! I originally hoped to catch a glimpse of the concubine of the Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect that the rabbit in her mouth ran away!"
When Ye Qian Longqing heard this, he was so ashamed that he remained silent.
Empress Dowager Xiao said: "If we let them run away this time, they won't have such good luck next time. Now that the Song Dynasty has been destroyed, the vast land of the Central Plains has not been annexed. What a pity!"
Ye Qi Guanyin said: "The Central Plains is vast and densely populated, and there are countless heroes in the wilderness. It is not as good as the Liao Kingdom. It is really difficult to annex it in a hurry! But we have laid a very good foundation. Now the Qingtang is in my hands. This is
With a wedge wedged into the Central Plains, we can send troops to encroach on the Central Plains at any time; in addition, we have the documents in hand that the Song Dynasty ceded the two rivers. We can use this to send people to demand these states and counties. If the defenders refuse, we can attack with a large army.
, is also a well-known teacher, and can use this to blackmail the Song people to hand over Lianghe Prefecture and County. It doesn't matter whether the Song people give it or not. It can be used to cause civil strife in the Song Dynasty, and we, the Liao Dynasty, can reap the benefits of the fishermen."
Empress Dowager Xiao nodded appreciatively, "What the princess said is absolutely true!" After a pause, she frowned and said: "There is nothing in the Central Plains. The cultivators are dead, Kou Zhun is excluded, the Qingtang is in our hands, and the people of Song Dynasty are leaderless and panic-stricken.
, annexing the Central Plains is just a matter of time! But the Sixteenth State of Yanyun is a serious problem! Gu Zhen did not expect that the fighting power of the Yanyun Army was so powerful. A mere 20,000 Yanyun Army could defend Gushan for five days.
Our army suffered heavy losses, and was finally able to escape from the siege by the remnants of the army! We fought fiercely at Juyong Pass for nearly a month, killing mountains of corpses but still unable to break through! The Yan Yun army will not be destroyed, and Yang Peng will not die. It will be difficult to sleep and eat alone!"
The civil and military officers deeply agreed. Brother Ye Qianxiu said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. I also feel that the Sixteenth State of Yanyun is a serious concern for our country. However, it is not appropriate for us to change our current strategy because of this. Nowadays, all the dragons in the Central Plains have no leader and the hearts of the people."
Chaos is a great opportunity to seize the opportunity to seize the Central Plains! If we turn to attack Yanyun, when the two sides are in a stalemate, and the Song people slow down and elect a courageous and resourceful monarch to regroup, I am afraid things will not be good.
Done! Therefore, I believe that we should stick to the established strategy and completely destroy Song Dynasty first, and then attack Yanyun!"
Night fell. Mag said: "The Yanyun army came all the way to fight. They must be tired and exhausted. I decided to lead the troops to rob the stronghold tonight!" Tong Yelu Yu Jian quickly dissuaded him: "No, no! Yang Peng, a famous general in the world, what's the matter?
Maybe we’re camping without taking precautions! We’d better guard the city strictly!”
Magar said angrily: "Don't brag about that Yang Peng! No matter how powerful he is, he is just a human being! I have made up my mind. If you are afraid, just stay in the city!" Yelu Yujian continued to persuade, but Magog refused to listen.
At midnight, Magu led 10,000 Liao troops, armed with horses and bells, opened the south city gate, and quietly headed toward the Yanyun army camp outside the east city gate. The 10,000 Liao army shouted and rushed into the Yanyun army camp, but failed.
Discovering that this was actually an empty camp! Mag was shocked and hurriedly led his men to turn around. At this moment, earth-shattering shouts and rumbles of horse hooves rang out from all around. Four war cavalry rushed in from all directions, instantly overwhelming the Liao army.
After being rushed to pieces, the Liao army was completely defeated. Mago could not care about anything else and fled towards the city in a hurry.
The Yanyun army's cavalry defeated the Liao army in one go, and then drove the defeated troops towards the city. Magu led hundreds of defeated troops and fled to the east city gate, shouting loudly: "I am Mago, open the city gate quickly!"
"At this time, Tongyelu Yu saw him standing at the east city gate, but he didn't dare to open the door at all.
The Yanyun army chased after them like a pack of wolves that suddenly appeared in the dark night. They charged and killed most of Mag's hundreds of soldiers, and some of them scattered and fled to their own lives. Only a dozen cavalry were still closely following Mag.
Check, go around the city and escape to the west.
The Yanyun army's cavalry chased the Liao army's defeated troops from all directions outside the city, killing them until their corpses were scattered all over the place. Yelu Yujian in the city sat back and watched the success or failure. He neither dared to send troops to rescue nor open the city to let the defeated troops in.
, he was worried that it would be difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy in the dark, and he would not know where Yan Yun's army was. If he opened the door rashly, he would be afraid that Yan Yun's army would take the opportunity to rush in!
The next morning, the infantry of the Yanyun Army finally arrived, so more than 30,000 infantrymen lined up outside the east city gate, preparing to attack the city. The 30,000 Yanyun Army kept shouting, and the loud sounds were like thunder rolling in the sky.
The fighting spirit continued to rise, and the momentum became stronger and stronger; Yelu Yu and others in the city couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw their faces pale.
Yang Peng raised his iron horse, and the shouts suddenly stopped, and the world suddenly became silent, a deathly silence. The war drums rumbled loudly, and the five thousand Yanyun Army infantry shouted, carrying the simple ladder as if they were driving.
The torrent of the gate generally rushed towards the city wall. Arrows rained down from the city wall, and the soldiers of the Yanyun Army rushed forward one after another. They rushed to the bottom of the city wall, set up ladders, and the soldiers of the Yanyun Army braved the rolling stones and wood pouring down from the top of the city to climb up.
Seeing more and more casualties, finally, soldiers of the Yanyun Army rushed to the city wall and chopped down the Liao soldiers in front of them. However, before they could jump to the city wall in time, they were pushed out of the city wall by spears pierced from all directions.
The ground fell to the city wall.
More and more Yanyun Army soldiers boarded the city wall. They fought to the death and attacked fiercely. The Liao Army sacrificed their lives to surround and kill the Yanyun Army soldiers who rushed to the city wall. They roared and screamed, and the flying blood reflected them.
With faces that were frantically fighting for their lives, a soldier of the Yanyun Army had his right arm cut off by his opponent. He actually rushed forward crazily, hugged the enemy with his left arm and fell from the city wall together, both of them falling to death. Casualties on both sides
More and more, the corpses of soldiers from both sides piled up under the city wall! The Yanyun army almost broke through the city defense several times, but they were all stopped by the indiscriminate shooting of the crossbowmen ordered by Guo Yaoshi!
The brutal siege battle lasted for a whole day, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. Although the Yanyun army almost broke through the city defense several times, they failed in the end. As the sun set, the Yanyun army suspended the attack and retreated.
The next day, the Yanyun Army launched an even more violent offensive. The soldiers of the Yanyun Army sacrificed their lives in the fierce attack. The Liao Army gradually became unable to withstand it. At this moment, a group of scouts suddenly galloped up to Yang Peng and shouted urgently.
Report: "General, the Liao Army and the Leote Division have arrived nearby!" As if in response to his words, before he could finish his words, the unique howl of the Liao Army came from the southwest, and only three people were seen.
The Wan Liao army rushed forward under the leadership of Liao army general He Lute.
Yang Peng frowned, glanced at Jingzhou, which was about to be conquered, and decisively ordered: "Retract your troops immediately and form a formation to fight!" The golden bell of the Yanyun Army rang loudly, and the Yanyun Army, which was about to occupy the city gate, had to retreat.
Go down.
Yanyun's army formed a battle formation, preparing to attack Helet's Liao army. Helet led 30,000 Liao army infantry and cavalry to the outside of the east city gate, and began to line up with their backs against the city wall. Seeing this, Yang Peng immediately ordered: "Everyone
Army, listen to the order and charge with me!" The war drums rumbled loudly, and the Yanyun Army soldiers shouted loudly and rushed toward the 30,000 Liao Army troops outside the city! Before the Liao Army completed their formation, they saw the Yanyun Army rushing towards them.
He was shocked when he came up to kill him. Helot was quite experienced and hurriedly waved his army to attack.
The two armies crashed into each other like two waves, and then they mixed together and started fighting! Infantry against infantry, cavalry against infantry, infantry against cavalry, the armies of both sides suddenly opened and closed, and suddenly fought, and the Liao army was gradually exhausted!
At this moment, the scouts rushed to report to Yang Peng that 40,000 soldiers and horses led by Liao Army General Lu Yegan had arrived outside the west gate of Jingzhou and were encircling the city. Yang Peng knew that he could no longer fight, so he immediately
He led the army to charge forward and fight fiercely for a while, defeating Helet's 30,000 Liao army, and then retreated to the camp.
Yeluyu who was on the city gate saw Yan Yun's army retreating and quickly opened the city gate. The shocked Helet's soldiers and horses entered the city one after another. Lu Yegan, who was rushing outside the east city gate, heard the report and said
After Yan Yun's army retreated, they no longer rushed to the East City Gate, but entered Jingzhou through the South City Gate.
Later that day, Xiao Duoli led 25,000 troops (of which 20,000 were soldiers of the Yanyun Army directly affiliated with the Yanyun Army stationed in Jizhou) and arrived at Jingzhou City from the south. Before nightfall, Yelutli led 30,000 Yanyun Army
The soldiers of the directly affiliated legion arrived at Jingzhou City from the west.
Lu Yeqian and his generals were discussing matters in the lobby of the Jingzhou government office. Yelu Yu saw it and said: "Now that Yanyun Army reinforcements are arriving one after another, and our army has suffered a new defeat and its morale is low, the generals in the end think it is better to abandon Jingzhou and retreat to Longshan.
Bar."
As soon as these words came out, everyone objected, and He Lute said angrily: "We, the Liao Kingdom, have not given up the city as a precedent. If we do this, how will we face your majesty and other soldiers in the future?" Others
People nodded one after another, saying that they must never give up on Jingzhou.
Mag said: "Our army should stick to Jingzhou, and at the same time send people to the surrounding armies to ask for reinforcements, and ask them to divide their troops and cross Longshan to support Jingzhou!"
Lu Yegan nodded and immediately issued the order. At the same time, Yang Peng, Duan Zhixian, Liu Zhiliang, and other generals also gathered together to discuss strategies. Yang Peng frowned and said: "What I am most worried about is that they abandon Jingzhou and retreat.
Baolong Mountain. If that's the case, things will be in trouble!" The generals began to discuss in a low voice.
Liu Zhiliang said: "So the current priority is not to conquer Jingzhou, but to seize Longshan!" Yang Peng looked at Liu Zhiliang, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling like they had a clear understanding of each other.
Li Zheng frowned and said: "But how to capture Longshan? There are nearly 20,000 Liao troops guarding Longshan. With the current strength of our army, it is difficult to suppress Jingzhou and divide our troops to capture Longshan at the same time!" The generals nodded one after another.
I think this might be difficult to do.
Yang Peng said: "I already have a plan. Although it is very risky, I can give it a try." Then he told his plan. After hearing the words, everyone looked at each other and felt that the general was too risky. Li Zheng clasped his fists
He said: "It's nothing else, but I think the general shouldn't take the risk himself!" The generals agreed, and they all advised: "The general has a body of ten thousand gold, so he really shouldn't take the risk! General, please think again!"
Yang Peng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, this time I have to lead the team in person. The situation this time is different from the previous ones. There may be some emergencies. If I am not on site, it will be difficult to adapt to changes!" See you!
The generals still wanted to persuade, so they said: "You don't have to worry about my safety. If something cannot be done, I will just go back the same way! This matter has been decided!"
After the meeting, each general returned to his military camp, but Han Bing did not leave. He looked at Yang Peng with some annoyance. Yang Peng hugged her slender waist, kissed her red lips, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
?Who made our Miss Han angry?"
Han Bing said angrily: "It's you!" Yang Peng hugged Han Bing and sat down on the chair, caressing her waist, then raised his right hand and gently tapped Han Bing's vagina, mouth
Li Ke said seriously: "Then the eldest brother will apologize to your highness, kowtow once, kowtow twice..." Han Bing grabbed Yang Peng's palm, looked at Yang Peng with a red face, and said angrily: "If you do this again,
I just can’t help it!”
Yang Peng smiled, kissed Han Bing's red lips, and said impulsively: "When this battle is over, I will eat you up!" Han Bing showed an impulsive look inadvertently, and looked at her with beautiful eyes.
Xiang Yang Peng, the burning flame of love melted Yang Peng's heart and almost made him unable to hold on now.
Both of them wanted to go to Wushan together, but they knew that now was not the time, so they could only hold back the raging passion. Han Bing gently pushed Yang Peng away and reluctantly said: "I'm going back." Yang Peng said.
"I'll send you off." Han Bing nodded lightly. Then Yang Peng sent Han Bing out of the camp and watched Han Bing quickly go away under the escort of the cavalry.
The envoys sent by Lu Yegan went out from the north gate of Jingzhou and went north to Mount Longshan to ask for help. At the same time, Lu Yegan ordered all the troops to defend to the death and strictly prohibited them from leaving the city without permission!
In the next day, the Yanyun army only surrounded the city and did not launch an attack. The Liao army soldiers in the city were also relaxed, except Yelu Yu who was full of doubts. He came to Lu Yegan and bowed.
, "General, I think the current situation is very abnormal! It stands to reason that the Yanyun Army should know that we have sent a messenger for help, so they should attack Jingzhou urgently, but now they are holding back. There must be some fraud in this!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
