Kelun came back to his senses, with a desperate look in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "The whole army listens to the order and charge with me!" The horn sounded loudly, and the 60,000 Khitan infantry shouted fiercely and headed towards the opposite side.
The Yanyun army surged forward. At this time, the Khitan army cavalry finally could not withstand the massacre of the Mo Dao army, collapsed completely, ran back, bypassed the front of the own army and came to the two wings. Then turned the horse's head and fought again with the own army.
Once he rushed towards Yan Yun's army.
The war drums of the Yanyun Army rang loudly, and bullets and arrows fired by both sides flew in the sky. The sky seemed to darken, and soldiers from both sides continued to fall to the ground after being hit by arrows. At the same time, Yanyun's war cavalry rushed out from both wings, fighting with each other.
The Khitan army's cavalry fought as a group; the front line was completely opened, and Duan Zhixian led the three thousand Modao army as the vanguard, leading the army and roaring towards the Khitan army. Everyone fought bravely to be the first!
The three thousand Mo Dao army collided violently with the opponent's heavy armored infantry. The Khitan army's scimitar struck the Mo Dao army's armor with a loud clang and splashed countless sparks, while the Mo Dao army roared and slashed at the Jin army's heavy armor.
But there was a surge of blood on the ground. Even the heavy armor could not stop Mo Dao's soldiers. One by one, the Khitan army's heavy armored infantry screamed and fell into a pool of blood!
The infantry armies of both sides fought fiercely, swinging and fighting, with crazy faces and bloody swords flying. The cavalry on both sides were also fighting fiercely. The Khitan army's cavalry could no longer resist and was in the process of being defeated.
In the blink of an eye, the Khitan army's cavalry was once again defeated and fled in panic. At the same time, the infantry also defeated the Khitan army. The Khitan army was defeated like a mountain. They abandoned their helmets and armor and trampled on each other and ran away.
The momentum is like a rainbow, roaring in pursuit. As long as you catch up, it doesn't matter whether the opponent surrenders or not, just chop him down with one knife!
The Khitan army completely collapsed, and Yan Yun's army pursued them bravely, killing the Khitan army's officers and soldiers until the corpses of the Khitan army were strewn across the wild and blood-stained grassland...
In the evening, Kelun managed to escape back to Bei'an Prefecture. However, the 70,000-strong army he brought out only returned less than 2,000 cavalry. Of course, the cavalry suffered heavy losses, and the infantry was completely wiped out! Kelun
Returning to the hall, he sat down, dumbfounded, as if he hadn't recovered from the defeat!
An officer stumbled in and reported urgently: "General, Yan Yun's army has arrived at the city!" Kelun was startled, stood up suddenly, quickly picked up his weapon and ran outside. When he came to the city wall, he saw
Yanyun's warrior cavalry has arrived outside the city. The leader is Yanyun's warrior Ma Kuang, who killed his warrior Ke Mo. He is challenging at the foot of the city!
"Kelen, you shy turtle! Are you a man or a woman? Why are you hiding in the city and afraid to see people!" Kelun was furious and wanted to go out and fight. A general next to him hurriedly advised: "General
Don't be impulsive!" Kelun glared and yelled: "Does this general have to endure this humiliation? Get out of the way! Whoever dares to stop, I will kill him!" If the general dared to stop again, he quickly got out of the way.
Kelun ran down the city wall and led 500 cavalry out of the city. Kelun reined in his horse, pointed his sword at the horse and shouted: "Yanyun men, I will fight to the death!"
When Ma Kuan saw that he had really come out, he was very excited and immediately urged his horse to kill Kelun. When Kelun saw this, without hesitation, he raised his sword and urged his horse to meet him. The two sides fought together for more than twenty rounds.
Afterwards, it was difficult to tell the difference. Ma Kuan suddenly turned around and ran towards the west, as if he was running away timidly. Ke Lun was eager to kill, and pursued him relentlessly. He kept shouting: "Yanyun man, you have the courage."
Just don't run away!" Ma Kuang, however, had no intention of stopping and kept running away.
The two sides chased each other and ran away for about a few hundred steps. Ma Kuan, who was running in front, suddenly turned his horse's head, pulled out a short ax from the saddle and threw it at Kelun, who was rushing towards him. Kelun didn't do anything.
Unprepared, he suddenly saw an ax flying towards him. He was startled. It was too late to dodge. He only heard a loud pop, and the ax hit Kelun's forehead! Blood surged, and Kelun screamed and fell off his horse.
!
Seeing the death of Kelun, the Khitan army was horrified. The city guard hurriedly ordered the city gate to be closed. Ma Kuang led the cavalry to rush to the bottom of the city wall, but the city gate was already closed. Arrows were fired from the city, and Ma Kuang temporarily retreated with his army.
, and then sent someone to report the victory to Yang Peng.
Although the Yanyun Army temporarily retreated, the Khitan Army officers and soldiers were panic-stricken. Thinking that the entire army had been wiped out and the three main generals had been killed, and that the terrifying Yanyun Army was about to arrive, several generals decided after deliberation,
Before Yan Yun's army arrived, they abandoned the city and fled. Soon after, the east city gate opened, and the remaining five or six thousand Jin Army soldiers swarmed out. After a period of commotion, the city became quiet again.
Ma Kuang received a report from the scouts and learned that the Khitan army had escaped, so he immediately led his cavalry into Bei'an Prefecture City.
At dawn the next day, Yang Peng led his troops into Bei'an Prefecture City. The people woke up early in the morning and were surprised to find that the Khitan troops who were still there when they fell asleep last night had disappeared.
The city gates were decorated with Yanyun Army officers in red clothes and black armor!
Yang Peng walked into the lobby of the government office surrounded by the generals. When he stepped in, his superior turned around and said to Ma Kuang with a smile: "Ma Kuang, you did a good job! You deserve the first credit for conquering Bei'an Prefecture!"
Ma Kuang clasped his fists excitedly and said, "Thank you so much, King Yan!" All the generals looked at him with envy.
Yang Peng looked at Duan Zhixian and said, "Immediately send someone to send a message to Liu Zhiliang and inform us of what happened." Duan Zhixian clasped his fists in agreement. Yang Peng then said to Ma Kuang: "Ma Kuang, you lead all the cavalry across the Luanhe River and go north.
Then go east to Xiaolu Yegan to contain Xiaolu Yegan's troops who are returning to support Zhongjing from the Longshan defense line." "Yes!" "The remaining armies should seize the time to rest and recuperate!"
At the same time, on the west bank of the Bali River in the west of Bei'anzhou, a team was crossing the river. There were hundreds of people in this team. One of them was holding a staff usually held by envoys of the Han Dynasty, and the accompanying cavalry was holding a flag.
On it were written the words "Envoys of the Song Dynasty" in four straight characters. It turned out that this group of people was none other than Wang Lun and his group who were sent as envoys to the Liao Kingdom by Zhao Heng.
The group crossed the Bali River and headed towards Bei'an Prefecture, planning to rest there tonight. However, before they had gone far, the Khitan officer who had gone to Bei'an Prefecture to contact local officials rushed back in panic.
, "It's not good, it's not good! Yan Yun's army has conquered Bei'an Prefecture, return to Xijing Road quickly!"
Wang Lun and others were stunned for a moment. Wang Lun asked in disbelief: "General, are you saying that the Yanyun Army captured Bei'an Prefecture? How is this possible?"
The Khitan officer glared and shouted: "How can I, general, have time to joke with you! Hurry up, hurry up, return to Xijing Road!" While shouting, he rode his horse to the west, and the accompanying Khitan officers and soldiers hurriedly followed, throwing
The envoy from the Song Dynasty ignored it. Everyone in the envoy looked at each other, "Sir, what should we do now?" Deputy envoy Lan Gongzuo asked at a loss. Wang Lun hesitated for a moment, "Since Bei'an Prefecture has been captured by Yan Yun's army,
If we break through, we can only temporarily retreat to Xijing Road and make plans again!" So the Song delegation also turned around and headed for Xijing Road.
"Hey!..." Lan Gongzuo suddenly sighed on the way. Wang Lun asked in confusion: "Why are you sighing?" Lan Gongzuo smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "I'm just feeling a little emotional! I don't think so.
The Khitan people were so arrogant and arrogant when they swept across the Central Plains! However, they had a different face in front of the Yan Yun Army. Just now, the officers and soldiers of the Liao Kingdom changed their colors when they heard the name of the Yan Yun Army, and they fled in panic before they even met!
We and Yan Yunjun are both Han people, so why are there such big differences?" Wang Lun was secretly ashamed and speechless.
The sight turned to Zhongjing. Yan Yun's army and Xiao Zhanweihe's rebels attacked Zhongjing from the north and south. The offensive was extremely fierce. However, the defenders of Zhongjing relied on the high walls and fortified city to withstand their waves of attacks, and the city was not attacked at all.
Signs of breach.
Boom...!! An earth-shattering loud noise suddenly covered up all the sounds on the battlefield. The soldiers and civilians in Beijing only felt the ground shaking. Following the sound, they saw only a huge cloud of smoke and flames mixed with countless rubbles and human bodies falling from the ground.
Something shot up into the sky near the South City Gate, like a volcano erupting! The Khitan soldiers and civilians were so horrified that they almost thought a terrible natural disaster had occurred! Almost at the same time, a loud noise that shook the heavens and earth came from near the North City Gate.
Yan Yunjun and Xiao Zhanweihe rebels used thunder to blow up a hole in the city wall on the north and south sides, and then the war cavalry from both sides rushed in with shouts. The panicked Khitan soldiers could not resist and were killed by Xiao Zhan.
The rebels and Yan Yun's army rushed into the city and saw that Zhongjing was about to fall.
However, Liu Zhiliang and others found that the situation was getting more and more wrong. Reinforcements of the Khitan Army continued to rush to the south to join the battle and fight back desperately. They gradually curbed the offensive of Yan Yun Army; and Yan Yun who rushed into the city
Yun Zhan was unable to move his horse on the narrow street, and his situation became increasingly disadvantageous.
"Something's wrong! Why does it seem like all the defenders of the Khitan Army are coming to our side? What on earth is Xiao Zhan doing without drinking?" Liu Zhiliang frowned and said angrily.
Hu Yanbixian led the assault cavalry to rush forward desperately in the street. They fought bloody battles in the long street. However, it was difficult to make any progress. Seeing the Khitan army's dense forest of spears coming, the Yanyun army's cavalry were about to lose their support.
Stop! At this moment, a messenger cavalry ran up and shouted: "The general has ordered that all troops and horses stop attacking and withdraw!" Hu Yanbi was furious, "Retreat?! Why?" said the messenger.
: "An enemy is outflanking us. The general orders all troops to retreat immediately!"
Hu Yanbixian frowned, looked back at the streets blurred with corpses and blood, and shouted: "Retreat!" Then the Yanyun Army's cavalry that broke into the city quickly withdrew.
Hu Yanbi Xian came to Liu Zhiliang and said angrily: "General, just retreat like this, all the brothers have sacrificed in vain!" Liu Zhiliang pointed to the left front, "Look over there!" Hu Yanbi Xian followed Liu Zhiliang's lead.
Looking in the direction of the finger, I saw smoke and dust filling the sky outside the West City. There were numerous shadows under the smoke, as if there were countless enemy war cavalry rushing towards me! Hu Yanbixian was surprised, "What's going on?"
Liu Zhiliang raised his voice and said: "The whole army is arrayed and ready to fight!"
Soon after, the enemy troops came closer. As expected, they were all cavalry. Huyan Bixian looked carefully and showed great surprise, "Why do they seem to be Xiao Zhan's army?" Liu Zhiliang frowned and shouted.
: "Don't worry so much, prepare to fight!" "Yes!"
Several blasts of horns were heard from the enemy cavalry, and then they were seen roaring and surging forward, like a rapidly spreading sea wave. Liu Zhiliang shouted to Hu Yanbixian: "I'll attack from the front, you attack the flanks!"
Immediately, Yanyun's cavalry also launched a charge. Liu Zhiliang led the main force to fight head-on, while Huyan Bixian led a cavalry to make a detour from the side.
Waves of cavalry from both sides collided fiercely, and under the glint of swords, men and horses were turned upside down and blood was flying everywhere. Just as the cavalry groups on both sides were fighting inextricably, the cavalry led by Hu Yanbixian slammed into the Khitan cavalry from the flank.
In the group, they smashed the Khitan cavalry into two pieces with great force. The Khitan army was frightened and their momentum was suddenly released. The situation was inevitably a bit chaotic. At this time, Liu Zhiliang launched a fierce attack with his troops, and the Khitan army immediately could not resist and ran away one after another.
Seeing this situation, Emperor Ye Qiangan, who was watching the battle from the attic of the palace, couldn't help but exclaimed: "In the past, I only heard how powerful Yan Yun's army was, but today I saw it with my own eyes and realized that the rumors were indeed true! With such a powerful army and brigade,
No wonder our army has repeatedly failed in front of it!"
After repelling the enemy's cavalry, Yanyun's army did not pursue them, but quickly retreated to their camp.
Back in the tent, Hu Yanbixian cursed in great annoyance: "What on earth is Xiao Zhan doing without drinking?!" Liu Zhiliang frowned, looking thoughtful.
A scout hurried in and knelt down to report: "General, General Xiao Zhanmeihe was killed by his subordinates, and all Zhanmeihe's troops were lured to surrender by Brother Ye Qianxiu!"
Everyone was shocked, and Hu Yanbixian asked anxiously: "How could this happen?"
"When Xiao Zhanwuhe's army conquered the city, the Emperor of Liao Dynasty Ye Gandan suddenly appeared on the city tower and issued an order to Zhanmeihe's army, asking them to abandon the dark side and surrender to the light. There was a commotion in Xiao Zhanwuhe's army, and someone immediately killed Zhan Meihe.
Drink. Then brother Ye Ganxiu took the opportunity to come forward and surrender Xiao Zhanmeihe’s army. Then Zhanmeihe sent his general Paba to lead Zhanmeihe’s army around the city to attack our army.”
Hu Yanbixian scolded: "After a long time of work, the Khitan cavalry that just attacked us are actually Xiao Zhan's army, ******!"
Liu Zhiliang thought: "Now the situation has taken a turn for the worse and we must retreat immediately!"
In the palace, "Your Majesty, the current situation is very unfavorable to the Yanyun Army. They must not dare to stay here anymore!" Prime Minister Han De gave way. Ye Qiangan frowned and said: "Prime Minister, you mean they are going to run away?" Han De gave way.
He nodded. Brother Ye Qianxiu next to him said with a ferocious expression: "Your Majesty, we must not let this Yan Yun army escape! We must completely eliminate them here!" Ye Qiangan also had this intention, nodded, and was determined.
He said: "If we can't destroy them, where is the majesty of the Liao Kingdom!" He looked at Brother Yeqianxiu, "Please ask the Generalissimo to command all the armies in Zhongjing Road, and be sure to annihilate this Yanyun army!" Brother Yeqianxiu thought in his heart.
Overjoyed, he bowed and accepted the promise.
Brother Ye Ganxiu hurriedly left the palace, came to the military camp, gathered the generals, and conveyed the order. At this time, the sun had set and the moon hung on the treetops. Compared with the hustle and bustle during the day, it seemed extremely quiet at this moment.
Soon after, this rare silence was broken. The Khitan Army troops poured out of the city like a tide, with infantry behind and cavalry in front. A hundred thousand troops rushed towards the Yanyun Army camp. The Yanyun Army camp was very quiet, as if
It was as if he didn't notice the enemy's arrival at all.
The Khitan army shouted and rushed into the military camp, only to find that it was actually an empty camp. Brother Ye Qianxiu immediately realized that something was wrong and shouted at the top of his voice: "Quickly retreat! Quickly withdraw!" At this moment, in the darkness around him,
Suddenly there were shouts soaring to the sky and the sound of horse hooves shaking the ground. Two war cavalry, led by Liu Zhiliang and Hu Yanbixian, rushed from both sides. At the same time, countless rockets shot into the military camp, immediately igniting the fire.
He picked up the firewood piled in the military camp, and in the blink of an eye, flames rolled into the sky.
The Khitan army in the military camp had no time to retreat, and was burned by the flames and cried to the sky; while the Khitan army outside the military camp was violently charged into several sections by Yan Yun's cavalry, sweeping across the army, slashing horses with swords and trampling to death countless golden soldiers.
The Khitan army could not resist and ran backwards one after another. The Yanyun army pursued them until they reached the city wall before withdrawing their troops. They had already killed the Khitan army corpses everywhere!
The emperor and the ministers were waiting for the news of victory, but they did not expect the news of a great defeat. They were all shocked. Some ministers suggested abandoning the city and fleeing for their lives. Fortunately, Ye Qiangan was a little brave and dismissed it.
After a while, news came that Yan Yun's army had failed to break into the city and had withdrawn. The monarchs and ministers were relieved.
Brother Yeqianxiu had just recovered from his shock. He checked his soldiers and found that out of the 100,000 troops that had left the city, only 60,000 or 70,000 people had returned. Brother Yeqianxiu couldn't help but feel like he wanted to cry without tears, but for Yan Yun's army, he had already
It was fear from the bottom of his heart. Although the current strength of the Yanyun Army was still several times that of the Yanyun Army outside the city, they did not dare to leave the city anymore. Not only him, but also the Khitan Army officers and soldiers also did not dare to leave the city. In their eyes,
Maybe Yan Yunjun is the devil after all!
Liu Zhiliang immediately looked at Zhongjing City in front of the burning military camp, smiled coldly, turned to Huyan Bixian and said: "Okay, the enemy will not dare to come out again, we can retreat!"
The Yanyun Army cremated the bodies of the fallen brothers and quickly evacuated Zhongjing with their ashes.
Twenty thousand war cavalry retreated toward Deshan.
Xiao Lu Yegan, who had already marched to Shiziling, received a scout report saying: The crisis in Beijing has been resolved, Xiao Zhan was killed, Xiao Zhan did not drink the army anyway, and Yan Yun's army had retreated to the vicinity of Deshan. Lu Yegan immediately
Decided to change the original plan to support Beijing, and decided to divide the army under his command into two groups to encircle and suppress the Yanyun Army of Liu Zhiliang Hu Yanbixian.
Just when Xiao Lu Yegan was ready to put his determination into action, an emergency report suddenly came from the rear. It was the news that Zezhou had been lost! When Xiao Lu Yegan and others heard the news, they were all shocked. Zezhou
Where is it? Zezhou is more than 150 miles south of Zhongjing, north of the Shenshan Mountain and Songting Pass. It is an important barrier to the south of Zhongjing. It is also an important city that connects all directions of the Liao Kingdom, and its status is extremely important.
Xiao Luyegan thought about it and was really worried about being accused by the emperor for the fall of Zezhou. At the same time, he was also worried about being attacked by Yanyun's army from the rear. So he gave up the plan to encircle and suppress Liu Zhiliang's troops and instead stationed a force of troops and horses.
Shiziling to prevent Liu Zhiliang from raiding his rear, while he himself led the main force to turn back and attack Zezhou.
One day later, the army arrived at the city of Zezhou and immediately launched an attack. The Yanyun army resisted for a while and then retreated to the east. The Khitan army recaptured Zezhou and found that the official treasury and the mansions of the nobles had all been looted, and the money and food that had been looted were
Most of them were actually distributed to the local people by Yan Yun's army. The nobles sent people to snatch money and food from civilians' homes, killing and injuring many people. As a result, the civilians became angry and took up weapons to fight back. Not only did they kill
Many nobles' thugs and servants also took advantage of the situation to break into the homes of many nobles and rob them.
The nobles panicked and rushed to Xiao Lu Yegan's tent for help. When Xiao Lu Yegan heard that the civilians were rebelling, he couldn't help but flew into a rage and immediately dispatched an army to suppress it. As a result, a fierce melee broke out with the civilians. The entire Zezhou city was massacred.
The sound soared into the sky and fireworks exploded.
Ma Kuang, who had retreated to Songting Pass, couldn't help but be very surprised when he saw the chaos in Zezhou City. Soon after, the scout came back and reported the details to Ma Kuang. Ma Kuang said excitedly: "King Yan's strategy really worked! Now Zezhou
There is chaos, how can we wait until we take the opportunity to stab him hard?" Immediately, only a hundred people were left to guard Songting Pass, while he led all the warriors out of the pass and rushed to Zezhou.
The Khitan army under Lu Yegan was fighting with the people in the city and was in a state of panic. He didn't pay attention when Ma Kuan suddenly led the Yan Yun war cavalry and kicked them into the Khitan army camp. There were not many Khitan troops left guarding the barracks outside the city, and they were caught off guard.
, so it collapsed completely in an instant. The defeated army rushed into Zezhou City wrapped in Xiao Luyegan and others.
Ma Kuang rushed into the city and launched a fierce attack. The Khitan army was in a hurry and couldn't figure out how many Yanyun troops were coming. They only heard the sound of killing as if countless soldiers and horses were coming. They couldn't help being frightened and fled to the north.
They trampled each other and killed countless people. Ma Kuang actually drove the Khitan army out of Zezhou just like that.
Immediately, local people cried to the Yanyun army about the tragic situation of being massacred by the noble Khitan army. Without saying a word, Ma Kuang immediately sent troops to help the people seek justice. As a result, the nobles were in bad luck! The local people were in Yanyun.
With the support of Yan Yun's army, they crazily slaughtered the nobles in the city. If Yan Yun's army had not deliberately protected those women, children and the elderly, I am afraid that none of the nobles in the city would have survived.
Night fell, the crazy killing finally stopped, and the once bustling Zezhou turned into a hell! Bodies were piled on top of corpses in the streets and alleys, blood filled the sewage ditches, many houses turned into ruins, and the sound of crying
It echoed over the city, as shrill as a cry over a cemetery.
Xiao Lu Yegan retreated hastily to Shiziling, checked his men, and found that only more than 10,000 people had been lost. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Recalling his previous experience, he felt very angry at the defeat. He immediately ordered all the armies to rest for one night, and tomorrow
Go back early in the morning to take revenge.
The next day, Lu Yegan led the army and fought back to Zezhou. However, at this time, the city gates of Zezhou were wide open and silent, as if it had become an empty city. Lu Yegan became confused and did not dare to rush.
Entering the city. After hesitating for a moment, he sent a small group of cavalry into the city.
After a while, the cavalry came back and reported: "General, Yan Yun's army has left, and all the people have disappeared, leaving only some orphans and widows of the nobles!"
Xiao Luyegan quickly led the army into the city. Seeing the Zezhou City that was almost in ruins, Xiao Luyegan felt like crying without tears. Many orphans and widows gathered around and cried out their miserable experiences. Xiao Luyegan was very irritable.
He ordered people to drive them away. Then he sent scouts to investigate the situation of Yan Yun's army. Soon after, the scouts reported back that Yan Yun's army had retreated into Songting Pass, and more than 100,000 people in the city had followed Yan Yun.
Junnan went.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
