Yang Erya's face turned red and she said anxiously: "That's not what I meant! In fact, the credit of Sister Jiumei and I is secondary! Brother, you don't know, the reason why I did this is all because of Sister Han Bing
"The instructions!" Yang Peng was stunned, and Yang Jiumei was also a little surprised. Yang Erya explained: "When I returned to Datong Mansion before, Sister Hongyu talked to me about this matter alone! She said that Yanmen Pass is a weakness of our army.
, I'm afraid that the Khitan army will raid there. If that happens, the consequences will be disastrous! She asked me to escort the money and food back to Yanmen Pass and stay for a while to be on strict guard. Because of Sister Han Bing's instructions, I
You won’t do those things until you come to Yanmen Pass! So in the final analysis, the biggest contributor to thwarting the enemy’s conspiracy is actually Sister Han Bing!”
Yang Peng lowered his head and pondered: 'Hey, why don't you tell me directly? Yes, I am in high spirits, but you are afraid of spoiling my joy and making me angry!' At this thought, thousands of things can't help but rise in his heart.
Rousi came. She glanced at the two women and said with a smile: "You guys, please stop giving in to each other! You are both good wives for the eldest brother. Without you, the eldest brother would be really embarrassed this time!"
Yang Erya blushed and said: "We, we are eldest brother's wives, we should do these things, there is nothing to say!" Yang Jiumei nodded with deep sympathy. Yang Peng didn't know what kind of words to use.
To express his love and gratitude to them, he could only hold their delicate hands tightly. The two women looked at him tenderly, with only him in their eyes.
Turning her eyes to the other side, Li Qingxia couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw that the civil strife in the Liao Kingdom had been resolved dramatically. She then said goodbye to the Empress Dowager and rushed back to Xixia. She hoped to urge her father to send troops as soon as possible to help the Liao Kingdom deal with it.
Yan Yun and his party traveled long and hard. At noon that day, they arrived outside Dezhou City. They saw the chaos in Dezhou City from a distance. They couldn't help but be surprised. Li Qingxia frowned and said, "Did Dezhou actually be captured by Yan Yun's army?"
Qingxia and others are still on the road, so they don't know the current specific situation on Xijing Road.
A close confidant who was accompanying him asked for orders: "I'm going to investigate!" Li Qingxia nodded. The close confidant turned his horse's head and galloped away with a wave of his whip. Li Qingxia and others waited at the same place, not daring to leave.
He came down to rest immediately, fearing that he might encounter Yan Yun's army suddenly. In that case, he could immediately mount his horse and escape.
Everyone waited for a long time in a restless mood, and saw a few horses galloping towards them. The one at the head was the crony who just went to inquire about the news. The few people following behind him looked like they were dressed as staff officers in the local government offices of the Liao Kingdom.
character.
Several people rushed to Li Qingxia and reined in the horse. The confidant said to Li Qingxia hurriedly: "Princess, the Yanyun Army captured Dezhou not long ago!" Li Qingxia was surprised and asked hurriedly: "The Yanyun Army
Are you in the city of Dezhou?" The confidant shook his head, "No, they had evacuated a few days ago!" Then he pointed to several Liao officials following him, "They are all staff of the Dezhou government.
I know the specific situation with the Yamen!" Li Qingxia looked at those people, who performed a chest pressing ceremony together: "I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Li Qingxia said: "No need to be polite! I just came from Zhongjing.
I don’t know the specific situation here at all, so please let me know!”
Several officials quickly became humble, and the fat middle-aged official among them said: "Reporting to the princess, just as this gentleman said, our Texas was captured by the Yanyun Army not long ago, but they were captured two days ago
They have been evacuated. According to the information received by the official, Datong Prefecture has been captured." When Li Qingxia suddenly heard the news, she was shocked and said in disbelief: "Datong Prefecture City Gao Hekuo has sufficient reserves, and there are hundreds of thousands more troops.
How could the defense be captured so quickly?" The official shook his head, "I don't know the specific officer. I only know that Datong Mansion fell, and I also know that Lord Ye Qian Longqing's hundreds of thousands of troops and General Xiao Dalu's
The entire army of 100,000 was wiped out!"
Li Qingxia frowned tightly and glanced at the official, "What else is there?"
The official said: "This morning, I heard from an officer who escaped from the south that General Xiao Loushi's 100,000 war cavalry encountered a setback on the east bank of the Yuhe River and are retreating rapidly!"
Li Qingxia was in a particularly depressed mood. She did not expect to hear such bad news one after another. The main force of the Liao Kingdom's Xijing Road seemed to be destroyed. Yan Yun captured Datong Mansion and annihilated the Liao Kingdom's Xijing Road defenders.
Not only did it severely damage the morale of the Liao government and the opposition, but it also drove a sharp wedge into Xijing Road! The situation was very favorable for Yanyun, but it was very unfavorable for the Liao State!
But then I thought: 'Maybe this is not a bad thing. If Yanyun had not captured Datong Mansion, the Liao Kingdom's determination to fight Yanyun would not be very strong. But it is different now. Datong Mansion has been lost, and Xijing Road is in danger.
, I'm afraid that even the Zhongjing Road and the Shangjing Road will no longer feel safe! The Khitan people have no way out and can only fight! If their two families fight hard on the Xijing Road, we Xixia will have an opportunity!' With this thought, Li
Qingxia couldn't help but become excited.
He raised his head and glanced at the officials from the Liao Kingdom in front of him, and said: "Thank you for telling me these situations." Several people quickly humbled themselves, and the fat official said: "Your Highness, if you don't have any other instructions,
, let's say goodbye now!" Li Qingxia nodded, and suddenly something happened and asked: "Since Yan Yunjun has given up on Dezhou, why is Dezhou so chaotic?" The fat official sighed, "Our officers,
When the city was broken, they all surrendered to Yan Yun. Now that Yan Yun's army had left, they were worried about being sanctioned by the court, so they naturally followed suit. As a result, Dezhou became leaderless, and those rogue bandits took the opportunity to burn
Killing, looting, Texas is simply a hell now! Your Royal Highness, Princess, you have a golden body, please do not enter the city!" Li Qingxia nodded. The fat official bowed to Li Qingxia, then turned his horse and galloped towards the north.
Then he left, followed by several other officials.
Li Qingxia told her subordinates, "Let's bypass Texas and rush back to China as soon as possible!" Everyone agreed in unison.
The sight turned back to Datong Mansion. The Yanyun Army was ready and was just waiting for the main force of the Khitan Army to arrive. The focus of the Yanyun Army's defense was naturally Datong Mansion, but heavy troops were also deployed on Baishan Mountain and Yanmen Pass, forming a link with the city of Datong Mansion.
The power of the horns. The general guarding Datong Mansion is Cao Jun, who has 100,000 troops and horses. The guard general on Baishan Mountain is Li Xu, who has 30,000 troops and horses. Yang Peng personally commands an army of 120,000 troops stationed at Yanmen Pass to provide support in both directions at any time.
Yang Peng and Cao Jun were walking on the wall of Datong Mansion. Yang Peng asked: "Do you need anything else?" Cao Jun shook his head, "I don't need anything anymore. I will be confident in defending Datong Mansion!" Yang Peng stopped.
, smiled and said: "General Cao is guarding here, I can rest assured!" Cao Jun felt a sense of trust in his heart, which he had never felt before in the imperial court. In the imperial court, he
What he felt all the time was the suspicion of the emperor behind him and the entire civil court. That feeling almost made him breathless, but what he felt here was indeed full of trust and sincerity. Cao Jun was grateful in his heart and couldn't help but feel
Holding his fists, he said: "General, I will defend Datong to the death. As long as I am alive, the Khitan people will not even think about setting foot in Datong Mansion!" Yang Peng nodded with a smile and patted his shoulder.
Yang Peng stopped and looked under the city wall. He saw a steady stream of people dragging their families out of the city and heading south. The city gate was bustling and noisy. The war will soon come, and this huge city in the north will
It became a terrible Shura field, and the people fled their homes to the pass to escape the war, planning to come back after the war was over. However, not all people fled to the south, many still stayed, and some fled to the north.
and the northeast, these people are naturally mainly Khitan people.
A scout on horseback galloped from a distance, rushed to the city gate, and shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Urgent military situation!" The people on the official road ran to both sides to avoid it, and the scouts galloped past the crowd.
.After a while, Chen Xiao and Liu Qi saw a scout running up quickly.
The scout rushed to the two men, clasped his fists and said: "Report to King Yan, the army of Yeqi Hucheng has passed Hongzhou!" Yang Peng said calmly: "Let's explore again!" The scout responded, ran down, and then just
I saw him galloping out of the city on horseback.
Yang Peng said to Cao Jun: "It's time for me to return to Yanmen Pass. I'll leave this place to you." Cao Jun clasped his fists and said, "The general will definitely live up to the trust entrusted by King Yan!" Yang Peng warned: "Send people to follow me often.
Keep in touch." "Yes!" Yang Peng walked down the city wall surrounded by secret guards, and then Cao Jun, who was standing on the city wall, saw Yang Peng and his party riding out of the city gate and galloping towards the south.
A few days later in the morning, in the early morning mist, Yan Yunjun who was guarding Baishan Mountain was suddenly awakened by bursts of thunderous noises. Looking down the mountain, he saw an endless tide coming towards this side, almost
There is no end as far as the eye can see; the main force of the Khitan army has finally arrived. It is really a tidal wave of soldiers and horses, flags and clouds are surging, the cold light reflected by the swords and guns is like the sparkling waves on the sea, and a terrifying momentum like a collapse of the sky and the earth is coming.
; That thunderous rumbling sound was made by the footsteps of 800,000 people and the iron hooves of hundreds of thousands of war horses, and the earth was shaking. It is undeniable that this is an almost indestructible and powerful army, but they
His opponent is the more powerful Yan Yun Army. Who will win this battle in the end? No one can give an answer!
Yang Peng returned to Yanmen Pass and soon received news that 800,000 troops from Yeqihu City had arrived at Yuhe, completely controlling the east bank of Yuhe, and were besieging Baishan Mountain with all their strength. The real fierce battle finally began.
Yang Peng asked Han Bing: "Han Bing, have the Shanxi militia troops assembled?" Han Bing clasped his fists and said, "Reporting to brother, all 200,000 militiamen have been assembled and are on their way to Yanmen Pass." Yang Peng asked for food and grass.
It is not enough to mobilize too many troops. However, a large amount of supplies were seized from Datong Prefecture not long ago. Therefore, the military and civilian armies in Shanxi and Henan can be mobilized. Yang Peng can only mobilize these civilian armies nearby because of the lack of food and grass in various places.
, if the regular army is mobilized, it is really impossible to raise food and grass, but the civilian army is different. They can carry their own dry food, so this section does not need to be considered.
Yang Peng thought: "When all the civilian troops are in place, we can free up our hands." His eyes turned to Baishan Mountain, and he saw the Khitan army controlling the east bank of the Yuhe River while storming the Baishan Mountain military stronghold. The Khitan army was like a tide.
They charged forward one after another; however, the rolling rocks and trees that kept pouring down from the mountain made it difficult for them to make any progress. After attacking for a long time, they made no progress!
Yeqi Hucheng frowned and looked at it, holding the handle of the knife tightly with his palm. Dallan ran back to Yeqi Hucheng and said angrily: "Those Han people are really hateful, they just hide in the mountains and throw stones. We have suffered heavy losses, but
We can't even get halfway up the mountain!" Han Chang, who was standing on the other side of Yeqihu City, said: "Your Majesty, this Baishan Mountain is very dangerous, and the Yanyun Army has obviously made sufficient preparations. A frontal attack is unlikely.
Harvest!" Han Chang was originally a general under Brother Yeqianxiu, but after Brother Yeqianxiu was executed on the spot, he and most of the generals under Brother Yeqianxiu swore allegiance to the imperial court and became the Tiger City of Yeqian
's subordinates.
Yeqian Hucheng frowned and said: "Baishan Mountain and Datong Mansion are across the river, overlooking the entire plain. If we don't capture Baishan Mountain first, our army will not be able to attack Datong Mansion with confidence!"
Han Chang said quickly: "What the king said is absolutely true! But what the general means is, can we think of other ways?" Ye Qi Hucheng looked at Han Chang and asked: "Do you have an idea?" Han Chang looked at
He looked at the Baishan Mountain in front of him that reached straight into the sky, and said: "With such a big mountain, the general will not believe that there is no well-traveled path that can bypass the front of Yanyun's army's defense!" He held his fist towards Yeqi Tiger City and said, "Your Majesty.
, we can send people to arrest the people living around, especially the hunters and herb gatherers, and ask about the route, and the general will believe that we can definitely find a route that can lead to a sneak attack on the top of the mountain."
Ye Qian Hucheng thought for a moment and nodded, "Very good, go ahead and do it!" Han Chang promised, turned his horse's head and ran down.
At this time, Cao Jun was standing on the gate tower of Datong Mansion, looking at the battle on the other side, frowning, as if he was thinking about something. Sun Haocheng, the general next to him, suddenly pointed at the Khitan army on the other side and shouted: "General, look
, the Khitan army has stopped attacking!" Cao Jun recovered his thoughts and saw that the Khitan army had stopped attacking and was withdrawing its troops back to camp. General Li Mu laughed and said: "Haha, the Khitans have nothing to do with Baishan Mountain! There is no way to defeat Baishan Mountain.
, but we can’t attack Datong Mansion with peace of mind!”
Cao Jun turned to the herald beside him and said: "You immediately go to Baishan Mountain to remind General Li Zheng, asking him to defend to the death, pay special attention to the flanks and rear, and be careful of enemy sneak attacks!" The herald responded and ran down.
The Khitan army has heavily surrounded Baishan Mountain. However, Baishan Mountain covers a large area with high mountains and dense forests. Therefore, the Khitan army's siege cannot be airtight. There are still many places where they can penetrate. The herald sent by Cao Jun then
With the help of a natural ravine full of thorns, we passed through the siege of the Khitans and reached the mountain.
When the herald came to the big tent on the mountain, Li Zheng and others were celebrating the victory they had just won. Everyone was relaxed and smiling, and they seemed not to care about the 800,000 Khitan troops at the foot of the mountain.
The herald clasped his fists and bowed to Li Zheng and said, "I have seen General Zhu!" Li Zheng smiled and said, "General Cao must have seen the fighting here on the city wall! Don't worry, General Cao. The Khitans are just attacking."
It’s impossible to capture it even if it takes a hundred years!”
The herald responded, and then said: "General Cao ordered a villain to remind General Li. General Cao said: The enemy is very likely to find remote roads to attack the top of the mountain. General Cao needs to be careful and pay attention to the flanks and rear!"
Li Zheng smiled and said: "General Cao is too careful!" He nodded, "Okay, I understand. You go back and tell General Cao and I will definitely do it." The herald agreed and left. A general clasped his fist towards Li Zheng and asked: "General, the soldiers and horses under my command are idle. Why not defend the flanks and rear?"
Li Zheng waved his hand, "There's no need. This Baishan Mountain is extremely steep. Except for the front, the other places are full of cliffs. Where can we climb? We don't need to be distracted!" The generals felt that what Li Zheng said was reasonable, and they all nodded. nod.
The herald returned to Datong Mansion and reported Li Zheng's words to Cao Jun. Cao Jun was relieved. However, Cao Jun did not know that Li Zhengyang was perfunctory and did not do what he said.
In the middle of the night, Liu Qi, who was resting in the hall, was suddenly awakened by a hurried call. He saw his subordinate Sun Haocheng standing in front of him with an anxious look on his face. He frowned and asked: "What's the matter?" Are you in such a panic?" Sun Haocheng said anxiously: "It's not good, general, the Khitan army has attacked Baishan Mountain!" Cao Jun was startled, suddenly stood up, picked up the weapons at hand and ran out of the hall. He headed towards Baishan Mountain. Looking in the direction, he saw flames rising to the sky on Baishan Mountain. The situation was obviously very critical. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "How could this happen? How did the Khitan army attack the mountain?" Then he said to Sun Haocheng: "Quickly pass the order. , the army must gather and follow me to rescue Baishan Mountain!" Sun Haocheng promised and ran down. Cao Jun turned to look at Baishan Mountain, his brows furrowed tightly.
At this time, Baishan Mountain was in chaos. Countless Khitan soldiers had already rushed up the mountain. The 30,000 Yanyun Army was caught off guard and was rushed to pieces. Although they were still resisting desperately, they were obviously unable to recover. There were fighting figures everywhere, and blood was flying everywhere. The Khitan Army soldiers were cut down to the ground one by one, and the Yanyun Army soldiers fell in a pool of blood one by one. Li Zheng waved his sword and roared in the enemy army. As they fought, blood was flying, and the Khitan soldiers were invincible, and no one could combine with them.
A Yanyun officer covered in blood stumbled towards Li Xu. His feet gave way and he knelt down on one knee. He panted and said: "General, we, we can't resist it anymore!..." He hadn't finished speaking yet. , he saw him falling to the ground with his eyes wide open. Li Zheng was startled, and then he saw several arrows stuck in his back! He was filled with grief and anger, and when he raised his head, he saw more than a dozen people not far away. A Khitan soldier bent his bow and pointed an arrow at him. Li Zheng was so angry that he roared and rushed towards the dozen Khitan soldiers with a sword in hand.
The Khitan soldiers were struck by his momentum and couldn't help being shocked. Seeing him charging fiercely, they quickly fired their arrows. More than a dozen arrows whizzed towards Li Zheng. Li Zheng waved his sword to block and deflected seven or eight arrows. Almost at the same time, there were a few pops and several arrows hit Li Zheng's chest! Li Zheng grunted and leaned on the ground with a big knife to hold himself up. At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded. When the sound was heard, several Khitan generals raised their maces and axes and rushed towards Li Zheng with strange shouts.
Li Zheng's eyes widened, he yelled, and actually waved his sword to meet him. The two sides were instantly intertwined, and there was a fierce fight. The sound of swords and axes was slashing, and the sound of swords clashing was heard. Two Khitan army warriors
He screamed and fell off his horse, while Li Zheng's head flew into the sky!...
Cao Jun led his army out of the city in a hurry. However, as soon as he left the city, he immediately felt that something was wrong and quickly ordered the army to retreat into the city. At this moment, the enemy troops who were ambushing in all directions rose up and came towards Yan Yun's army with howls and pitch black.
In the night, it felt like there were countless people and horses!
Cao Jun remained calm in the face of danger and immediately ordered 1,500 war cavalry to be divided into three teams to fight in the north, south and east directions respectively, while the main force retreated into the city as quickly as possible.
In the darkness of the night, the Khitan army suddenly discovered that Yanyun cavalry was coming towards them. They were surprised. They had not expected this situation at all. The two sides started fighting in a melee. The Khitan army was not sure how many people came from the Yanyun army.
I couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so I just tried my best to kill, but ended up killing many people. It was also a self-defeating move on the part of the Khitan army. They originally wanted to use the night to make Yan Yun's army frightened, so that they could defeat Yan Yun's army in one go and then take advantage of the attack.
When they entered Datong Mansion, they did not expect that the war cavalry of the Yan Yun Army took the initiative to greet them. This time they became guests, and they couldn't help but panic. In the dark night, they couldn't see their fingers, and they killed many people in the process of killing and hacking.
The leading general Han Chang discovered the problem in time and said urgently: "Light the torch quickly, light the torch quickly!" The torches lit up one after another. At this time, the eyes of the Khitan army officers were clear, and they saw many of their own soldiers lying on the ground.
corpses, and Yanyun Cavalry has long since disappeared.
Han Chang was so angry that he immediately led his army to attack Datong Mansion. Arrows rained down from the city wall, and rolling stones and trees poured down like a waterfall. The Khitan army suffered heavy casualties but could not even touch the wall stacks. Han Chang often saw the Yanyun army.
He was fully prepared and knew that it was impossible to conquer the city in a hurry, so he had no choice but to temporarily withdraw his troops.
"General, the enemy has retreated!" General Sun Haocheng said to Cao Jun. Cao Jun nodded and turned to look at Baishan Mountain. He saw that the fire on Baishan Mountain was gradually decreasing, and the battle seemed to have come to an end. Cao Jun knew
The situation on Baishan Mountain was extremely bad, but he still hoped that a miracle would happen. He turned to Sun Haocheng beside him and said, "Send scouts immediately to inquire about the situation on Baishan Mountain!" Sun Haocheng promised and ran down.
In the early hours of the morning, Cao Jun fell asleep while sitting in the guard room in the city gate building. Sun Haocheng hurried in and saw Liu Qi asleep, so he called in a low voice: "General!" There was a very anxious tone in his voice.
After making two noises, Liu Qi woke up with a start. When he saw Sun Haocheng, he hurriedly asked: "How is the situation on Baishan Mountain?" Sun Haocheng looked sad and angry, "The whole army was wiped out, and General Li Zheng was also killed!"
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
