Zhan Jinguo hummed: "Our Xuanjia Army is the elite of Yanyun, so naturally we should take the lead! I'm afraid the Yang Family Army can't bear this heavy burden!" How could Yang Gui be convinced? "What the Xuanjia Army can do, the Yang Family Army can do the same.
If you do that, I don’t believe that the Yang Family Army will lose to the Xuanjia Army!"
Duan Zhixian suddenly intervened and said: "Since you two can't compete with each other, why not let the yesterday family take the lead!" Zhan Jinguo said angrily: "You are the deputy commander of the direct army, why are you competing with us for this vanguard?
position!" Yang Gui agreed: "That's right! What Duan Zhixian said makes no sense!"
Yang Peng raised his right hand and said, "You guys, stop fighting. There is no vanguard in this battle. All light cavalry will advance in separate directions and must sweep away the enemy in the shortest possible time!" The generals were a little surprised. Yang Peng looked at Yang Gui.
, "Yang Gui, lead the 20,000 warriors of the Volcano Army under your command to attack the Mianman Shuibei Army Stronghold!" "Yes!" "Si Xing, lead the 20,000 warriors of the Volcano Army to attack the Mianman Shuinan Army Stronghold!" "Yes!" "
Duan Zhixian and Yang Jing, each commanding 10,000 war cavalry, will raid Baijing Village and Pingding City respectively!" Duan Zhixian and Yang Jing clasped their fists in agreement.
"The Kingdom of Zhan Jin led two thousand Xuanjia troops out of Chengtian Army Stronghold and headed north, with the goal of Yanmen Pass." The Kingdom of Zhan Jin was very excited and accepted the military order. Yang Peng turned his attention to the other generals, "I will lead the other generals.
The cavalry will follow, Zhong Min, you and the Eighth Army will follow." Zhong Min stepped forward and promised. Following Yang Peng, his eyes fell on Yang Jiumei and Yang Erya, "Jiumei, Erya are responsible for escorting the food and grass!"
The woman was a little unhappy, but she couldn't disobey her elder brother's order, so she clenched her fists in frustration and agreed.
Yang Peng glanced at the generals and said, "The enemy still doesn't know that our cavalry group has arrived at Chengtian Army Stronghold! The purpose of this battle is to attack the enemy with speed and to sweep across the Jin army in front of them with lightning speed! All you generals need to do is
Remember one thing, rush forward at full speed, don't look around for delays! If someone delays the opportunity, don't blame the ruthless military law!" All the generals agreed in unison.
The sight turned to Mianman Shuibei Military Village. In the night, several Khitan Army sentries were standing behind the fence chatting. It was early spring, the climate was cold, and several sentries were so cold that they held their spears, huddled their necks, and kept stamping.
Put your feet on.
"The army has been mobilized frequently recently, and it seems that we are going to fight another big war!" The soldier with a flat nose said worriedly. A young soldier next to him said with a longing face: "I really hope that I can make meritorious deeds on the battlefield and glorify my ancestors!" The older soldier said
He said angrily: "The little guy is ignorant, the Yanyun Army is so easy to deal with! Against the Yanyun Army, let alone making contributions and honoring the ancestors, being able to save a life is all due to the merits of the ancestors!" The young soldier was very unconvinced.
Authentic: "I don't believe that the Yanyun Army is a monster with three heads and six arms!" The veteran laughed, "They do not have three heads and six arms, but they are really monsters!" The young soldier snorted.
The rumble of horse hooves suddenly came from the dark night outside the fence. Several sentries immediately stopped talking and looked outside, only to see more than a hundred cavalry running through the night. The young soldiers immediately picked up their spears nervously. The veterans patted them.
He looked over his shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous! They come from the west, and they are so arrogant, they must be our own people!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the knights arriving at the camp gate and reining in their horses. The camp captain shouted:
"who,"
"Don't you recognize me?" A majestic voice sounded. The captain was startled, and quickly looked carefully. He saw the other party's appearance clearly by the light of the torch, and hurriedly bowed: "I don't know if the general has arrived.
Welcome from afar, please forgive me!" It turned out that the person who came was none other than Xiao Qianbuli, the general of the Liao Kingdom. The captain quickly ordered someone to open the camp gate and welcomed Ganbuli and his party into the military camp.
When the young soldier saw this, he was very surprised and said to the veteran with admiration: "Brother, you are so awesome!" The veteran laughed and said, "This is nothing! You will be like me if you see more in the future.
!" Xiao Qianbuli waited until he galloped to the front of the big tent, dismounted his horse, and strode into the big tent. The camp leader, General Xiu Ri, hurriedly came up to pay homage: "General Xiu Ri will pay homage to the general!"
Xiao Qianbuli walked straight to the top, turned around and sat down. He looked at Zuri and asked, "Is there any movement in the Chengtian Army Stronghold?" "Reporting to the general, everything is as usual in the Chengtian Army Stronghold, and Yan Yun's army has not made any movement!"
"Don't be careless! Now that the generalissimo has sent his troops south, we can't make any mistakes here!"
"General, don't worry. We have received detailed reports recently. There is no movement on the other side of the mountain. Yan Yunjun's attention is obviously not here. There will definitely be no problem!"
Xiao Qianbuli nodded, "Nothing is best!" Zhiri said: "General, there is something I don't know whether to say or not." "Tell me." "General, since the time when the generalissimo took charge of the affairs of the Central Plains,
, our army has never been to the main battlefield. Last time we were diverted to contain the Yanyun Army in Chengtian Army Village. This time it is the same. The general suspected that the Generalissimo saw that we were the princess's army, so he did not
Are you willing to give us a chance to make meritorious deeds!"
Qian Buli frowned, "The general is not like this, is he?" Sanri continued: "The general also heard about what happened in Zhongjing before. The princess does not want to argue with the general, but the general may have something in his heart.
It won’t be like the princess! Once it sweeps through the Central Plains this time, the generalissimo will have the rich land and a large population of the Central Plains. By then, his power will exceed that of the princess, and he might attack the princess!" Xiao Qianbuli was shocked.
, shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Zui Ri said: "How dare you talk nonsense? I'm just worried about the princess! It's best if something like that doesn't happen. What if something like that happens?" Xiao Qianbuli frowned and asked, "Then how do you think we should deal with it?
"The general believes that the princess should be in charge of the Central Plains as before, so there will be no worries! Even considering the interests of the entire Liao Kingdom, the princess should be in charge of the Central Plains. When the princess was in charge of the Central Plains,
Has the Yanyun Army ever been so arrogant? However, since the Generalissimo took over from the Princess, the Central Plains fell, our army suffered successive defeats and suffered heavy losses, and the situation is almost out of control!"
Xiao Qianbuli was silent for a moment, stood up and walked to Zuiri, "What you said makes sense. But since the princess has not objected to the generalissimo's control of the Central Plains, we are the princess's subordinates, how can we contradict the princess! As for what you said
Since you can think of that situation, how can the princess not think of it? Let’s not worry about it! Since the princess has not given any instructions, we cannot be half-hearted and must obey the command of the general! What you just said will not matter in the future.
Stop talking!" "Yes!"
Xiao Qianbuli said: "I came here mainly to inspect the defense situation. I have seen the situation near the military camp. You did not disappoint me. The checkpoints monitoring the Chengtian military camp are not slack, are they?"
"How dare you relax even a little bit, General? Don't worry, General!" Gan Buli nodded. The sentries who were chatting with their spears were still chatting by the fence. The veteran looked up at the sky and saw only darkness and the moon.
, all the stars were gone. The veteran cursed lowly, looked inside the barracks again, and muttered: "I don't know what time it is, it should be time to take over the shift!" The young soldier said: "Brother, I'm in a hurry.
What, let’s chat again!”
The veteran turned around and said with a smile: "You kid, you haven't experienced danger yet, you just think the things I said are very interesting! If you have experienced it in the future, you will definitely not find it interesting!" Flat nose smiled:
"What do you always scare him for?"
The young soldier was about to speak when he suddenly seemed to hear something. He turned his head and looked towards the dark night outside the fence, but saw nothing. Upon seeing this, he asked with a flat nose: "Boy, what are you looking at?" The young soldier pointed outside.
With a puzzled face, he said: "I really want to hear something!"
The veteran laughed and said: "I just said that your kid is not afraid of tigers when he is a newborn. Why are you timid again now?" The young soldier shook his head, "I'm not timid, I really heard the sound!" "How could...
"The veteran's voice suddenly stopped. An arrow flew out of nowhere and penetrated his neck. The other two soldiers were startled and looked outside hurriedly. A shadow seemed to flash before their eyes, and a slight sound came from their ears.
There was a sharp sound breaking through the air. Before the two of them could react, sharp arrows pierced their throats and chests respectively. The two of them fell on their backs. The only thought before they died was: Enemy! How is this possible? No wonder they have such thoughts.
, they are located on the west side of the camp, how come there are enemies coming from the west?
Just as the three sentries arrived, a dense rain of arrows suddenly flew out of the darkness with a loud crackle. The soldiers of the Jin Army at the camp gate were shot to the ground one after another. The captain was seriously injured and was not dead yet. He tried his best to call the police
The gong climbed away. At this moment, ghostly war cavalry surged out of the darkness, broke open the shaft door and rushed in. Before the captain could even touch the gong, he was trampled to pieces by countless iron hooves!
Kill!!! Xiao Qianbuli, who had just rested, suddenly heard the astonishing sound of killing coming from outside. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly jumped up and ran out of the tent. He suddenly saw countless black warriors sweeping through the camp, trampling their long swords with iron hooves.
As they were slashing and killing, blood was flying under the light of the fire, and our own soldiers were running away in all directions. Many of them didn't even have time to put on their clothes, and they were in a very embarrassed state.
Xiao Qianbuli was shocked. How could Yan Yun's army suddenly appear? No wonder he was so confused. His Khitan army had deployed more than a dozen checkpoints near Chengtian's stronghold. How could Yan Yun's army suddenly appear?
Here? Xiao Qianbuli didn't know at this moment that the dozen or so checkpoints had been removed by the secret guards half an hour ago. The dozen or so checkpoints had not had time to send out an alarm signal.
Zuiri stumbled over and said urgently: "General, we can't resist anymore, retreat quickly!" "Fart! If we lose here, the morale of the entire army will be shaken, and the consequences will be disastrous! Go and lead the army to fight back!"
If you can't win, come and see me!" Unable to retreat, he could only promise and ran down.
Cai Ri hurriedly gathered thousands of troops to counterattack. The Yan Yun Army, which had turned into a prairie fire, felt as if they were thrown into a whirlpool and could not extricate themselves. Cai Ri saw the general of the Yan Yun Army leading the way, wielding a pair of hammers, blocking the way.
The enemy was invincible and very fierce, so he mustered up the courage to charge forward. Yang Gui saw an enemy general rushing towards him, became excited, and urged his horse to meet him. When he got close, he held the hammer tightly in his right hand and violently moved up from bottom to top.
The ground was lifted! Zuri was shocked when he saw the hammer whizzing towards him. He quickly reined in his horse. The horse neighed and stood up. The hammer hit the horse's neck hard. The horse overturned to one side, throwing Zuri away.
Come down.
Zuiri hurriedly climbed up, only to see that the opponent had already rushed in front of him. He was shocked and wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The hammer came down with a roar, and his head burst open and blood flew!
The Khitan army was already unable to resist. When they saw the Japanese general being killed by the opposing general, they were so frightened that they turned around and fled. The Yanyun army continued to pursue them, but the Khitan army was unable to recover.
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Xiao Qianbuli hurriedly led his soldiers to escape from the camp. He wanted to escape to Mianmanshuinan Village, but he was shocked to see the fire shooting to the south of Mianmanshui. Mianmanshuinan Village was also attacked by the opponent. He was horrified.
Down, he hurriedly fled to Pingding.
After running for dozens of miles, Pingding City was in sight. I saw a Yanyun Army cavalry attacking the city. I was shocked and calmed down. I found that the Yanyun Army had not entered the city. I felt relieved. I hurried towards Pingding.
He rushed to the north gate of the city. At this moment, Yan Yun's army was attacking the east gate, and there was nothing going on in the direction of the north gate, so he ran to the north gate.
After Xiao Qianbuli entered the city, the sounds of fighting in the east gradually stopped. By the time he arrived at the top of the east city gate, the Yanyun warriors who had just attacked the east city gate had retreated.
Gan Buli turned around and asked Hanon, the general who was staying behind to pacify Ding, "What's going on?" Hanon said in shock: "More than half an hour ago, a group of cavalry wearing our flag and wearing our army uniforms appeared under the city gate.
Call the door! The general almost opened the city gate, but fortunately he noticed something strange in time so he didn't open the door! Seeing that the opponent's plan was revealed, they suddenly attacked! Fortunately, they were all cavalry and had no siege equipment, so the city was not lost! "Dang!
Buli was extremely happy and said: "You have done a great service! You immediately send someone to call Taiyuan to alert the generalissimo!" "Yes!"
The whole night, the pacified defenders guarded the city nervously. The next morning, in the early morning mist, I saw a fast horse galloping from the southeast, running to the city gate, holding up a banner.
Flag Yang shouted: "Open the city gate quickly, I have urgent military information to report to the general!" The city gate opened immediately, and he galloped in. Soon after, the knight appeared on the top of the city and reported to Qian Buli:
"General Qi, Baijing Village has also been lost!" Xiao Qianbuli had already expected that Baijing Village could not be defended, but he was still a little shocked when he heard the exact news.
"General, look!" Hanon suddenly pointed to the outside of the city and shouted. Xiao Qianbuli quickly looked outside the city and saw countless troops approaching in the mist. He was startled and shouted: "
The whole army is on alert and ready to fight!" The Khitan army was prepared and very nervous.
After a while, only ten thousand Yanyun troops were seen coming out of the mist and stopping a few hundred steps ahead. Looking at the two-winged flying tiger warriors and the astonishing murderous aura of the dense military formation, the Jin Army soldiers could not help but feel nervous.
stand up.
Xiao Qianbuli's eyes were fixed on the extremely heroic figure under the banner of war, and he was surprised, "Yang Peng, he actually took action himself!" Yang Peng looked at Pingding City in front of him, and frowned slightly. The man next to him frowned slightly.
Duan Zhixian said with a face of shame: "I'm sorry, big brother, for failing to capture Pingding City yesterday!" Yang Peng shook his head, "It's not your fault! I didn't expect the defender of Pingding City to be so alert!"
Duan Zhixian cupped his fists and said, "Brother, I went to challenge them yesterday!" Yang Peng nodded. Duan Zhixian immediately rode out of the battle, came between the two sides, reined in the horse, and shouted loudly: "Donkey birds in the city, come out quickly.
Die!"
Several generals under Xiao Qianbuli couldn't hold it any longer and wanted to go out of the city to fight, but Xiao Qianbuli shouted: "You are not allowed to fight!" A warrior with a particularly strong physique, fierce temperament and a beard said angrily: "Since the other party has come to challenge
, how can you be so stubborn!" This person's name is Hua Cha, and he is a famous warrior under Xiao Qianbuli. Xiao Qianbuli said angrily: "Do you know who this person is? He is Yang Peng's sworn brother, Yan Yun.
The important general, General Duan Zhixian! He is extremely ferocious. Yan Yun's army is full of powerful generals, but there are not many who are stronger than him! If you go to war rashly, you will have no chance of winning!"
Duan Zhixian saw that the Khitans were unable to retreat and continued to curse, "You donkeys and oxen shoot birds with no eggs. Since you dare not fight with the yesterday's family, you should run away quickly!"
The vulgar words were thrown at him. The Khitan generals on the city wall were so angry that they were furious, and the sergeants did not dare to fight when their generals were so insulted, and their morale was low.
"General, let me go to battle! I don't believe how powerful that general can be! I will use the big ax in my hand to split his head open and see if he can still be arrogant!" Hua Chao said angrily.
Xiao Qianbuli was still hesitating. He didn't think that Hua Chao was definitely not Duan Zhixian's opponent. In his mind, Hua Chao should be a warrior comparable to Duan Zhixian. However, he was worried that Hua Chao would make a mistake. If so, I'm afraid that
The blow to one's own morale is even more serious.
Hanon whispered: "The morale of the soldiers is low, so it is better to accept the challenge. If we can win, our morale will be greatly improved!"
Xiao Qianbuli looked at the demoralized soldiers around him, nodded thoughtfully, and said to Hua Chao, who looked eager, "I give you permission to fight!" Hua Chao was overjoyed and pressed his right fist hard on his chest.
"General, let's see how the last general kills that general!" Yuluo picked up the ax and ran down the city wall. Immediately after the city gate opened and closed, Hua Chao carried a Xuanhua ax and rode a Hua Chao.
The mane horse ran out. He ran to Duan Zhixian more than twenty steps away and reined in the horse, wanting to tell his name. But Duan Zhixian had already galloped up on his horse, and the attack was fierce. Hua Cha had no choice but to swallow back the words that were on his lips and urged him to move.
The war horses rushed forward!
In the blink of an eye, the two horses crossed each other, and there was a loud clang, and the two of them exchanged moves. Then the two horses passed each other, ran about ten paces, turned their horses and charged towards each other again. At this time, both sides
The sound of the war drums sounded as loud as the sky, and the shouts came one after another. Hua Chao and Duan Zhixian fought each other for seven or eight meetings. Duan Zhixian became more and more brave as he fought, but Hua Chao only felt numbness in his arms, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.
Horrified. The two sides clashed again. When they got close, Duan Zhixian shouted loudly and swung his iron Zen staff. The staff tore through the air and made an alarming whistling sound. Hua Chao hurriedly raised his ax to block, only to hear a loud clang.
The big ax in Hua Chao's hand flew up with a sound. Hua Chao was frightened and hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran towards the city. Duan Zhixian reined in the horse and laughed loudly: "Is this all that a donkey or an ox can shoot at a bird?"
The Yan Yun army burst into laughter, while the Khitan army officers and soldiers were all frightened, and there was a dead silence. Yang Peng smiled coldly, raised his right hand, and the war drums suddenly sounded loudly. The rumble was like thunder, and then only five thousand Yan Yun steps were seen.
The army carried crude ladders and surged towards the city wall, followed by five thousand infantry armed with flintlock rifles.
I saw arrows flying in the sky. Yan troops were constantly hit by arrows and fell to the ground. The Khitan troops on the city wall were also shot down. The assault infantry put up ladders on the city wall against the constant rain of arrows and climbed up the city wall bravely.
Rolling stones and trees kept falling from the top, making loud rumbling noises, making it difficult for Yanyun's army to reach the top of the city, and the losses were considerable.
The strength of the Khitan army's resistance was somewhat beyond Yang Peng's expectations. Yang Peng originally thought that the Jin army's morale had been dampened and that it might be defeated in one attack, but he did not expect that it still had such strong combat effectiveness. He turned around and ordered: "Send the order, stop the attack!"
The ferocious offensive of the Yanyun Army suddenly stopped and receded like an ebbing tide. Immediately, the Khitan Army officers saw the retreat of the Yanyun Army and couldn't help but cheered. Gan Buli said to Hanon: "The Yanyun Army is only retreating temporarily, and it will definitely return.
We will attack, and order all armies to be on guard!" "Yes!"
Yanyun's army retreated more than ten miles and settled in the mountain. Then thousands of soldiers and horses entered the mountain forest to cut down trees. At the same time, they continuously transported the cut logs back to the military camp. In the military camp, craftsmen from the ordnance field accompanying the army were working with some soldiers.
Step up the production of siege vehicles such as siege vehicles and nest vehicles.
In the big tent, Khitan looked at the map with a thoughtful look on his face. Duan Zhixian next to him said angrily: "If the cannons come up, let's see how long those birds can resist!" Yang Peng looked at the map and said: "The cannons are coming.
It will take at least ten days to get here. We can't wait for the artillery to come up before attacking. We must seize Pingding City before the Khitan army returns to support as a wedge for our army to enter Shanxi. Otherwise, this raid will be disrupted.
Brother Ye Qianxiu's attack rhythm doesn't make much sense!" He turned around and said, "Zhixian, pass on the order and ask everyone to take time to rest and attack tonight!" Duan Zhixian was stunned, "How can we attack tonight?"
Those siege equipment will take at least several days to make!" Yang Peng smiled enigmatically, "Have you forgotten that we still have gunpowder?" Duan Zhixian still didn't understand and looked very confused.
Gan Buli in the city received a report from the scouts and knew that Yan Yun's army was rushing to make siege equipment, and he felt a little relieved. He understood that it would not be possible to make siege equipment overnight, it would take at least three or four days, at least
In these three or four days, he didn't have to worry about Yan Yun's army coming to attack. Even so, he still didn't dare to be careless and ordered all the troops to be on guard and not slack off.
The troops sent by Xiao Qianbuli rushed non-stop and arrived in Bingzhou in the evening. Zhang Xiaochun was left behind in Bingzhou (this man was originally a pseudo-prime minister under the Han people, but he left the Central Plains with Dalan and retreated to Shanxi, and was later captured by the Khitan people.
Accepting his fate as Taiyuan's left behind, he hurriedly came to the hall.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
