When Huyan Chijin saw that among the large group of Khitan troops who had escaped, there were royal banners from Yeqi Hucheng. He couldn't help but get excited and immediately led his troops to charge. In an instant, iron hooves surged and thunder rolled. Yeqi Hucheng saw Yan Yun's army coming.
It was so fierce that there was no way to avoid it, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the army to meet them. Seeing that Yeqi Hucheng was leading the way to meet the enemy, the officers and soldiers subconsciously followed suit. At this time, those who had followed Yeqi Hucheng and retreated
There are still fifty or sixty thousand troops, but they are all frightened, and they are all infantry. How can such an army withstand the charge of five thousand formation-breaking cavalry waiting for work! I saw rolling iron hooves, and the torrent of steel was as sharp as a hot knife.
The Khitan army was torn apart like cutting butter. The Khitan army was killed and their bodies were turned over on their backs, covered in blood!
The only fighting will of the Khitan army was wiped out by the formation-breaking cavalry in an instant. The Khitan army officers and soldiers did not care about the glory of the Liao Kingdom, let alone the orders of Yeqi Hucheng, and only focused on themselves.
They fled, and tens of thousands of Khitan troops were running around like crazy. Yan Yun's army pursued for a while and killed some people. Then they stopped the pursuit under Huyan Chijin's order and retreated to the burning military camp to wait.
.
After a while, the rumble of iron hoofs was heard in front, and many cavalry were seen running towards this direction under the dim moonlight. Huyan Chijin did not dare to be careless and ordered his cavalry to prepare for battle, and then he watched with wide eyes.
After a while, the opponent came closer. Huyan Chijin clearly saw that the heroic and extraordinary general in front of him was King Yan, and behind him were the Xuanjia Army and Iron Armor wearing Pixiu battle helmets and black uniforms.
The King of Yan's cavalry and the formation-breaking cavalry, wrapped like iron towers, Huyan Chijin quickly rode up to meet them.
The two sides met and each reined in their horses. Huyan Chijin clasped his fists on the horse and said: "King Yan!" Yang Peng nodded, glanced at the burning military camp behind him, and said with a smile: "It seems you have done well.
The task I gave you!" Huyan Chijin smiled, and then reported the battle just now. Yang Peng thought: "The opponent's war cavalry actually ran away first, which is not a good thing!" It turned out that Yang Peng was
In his plan, Long Ba should lead hundreds of thousands of warriors to counterattack with all his strength. He, Han Bing, and Yelu Hanyu expected this, so they arranged the Huyan Chijin warriors in advance to block the enemy. In their view,
Come on, the enemy army is in panic. Even though there are hundreds of thousands of people, it is difficult to break through the blockade of 5,000 formation-breaking cavalry. After our main force has completely defeated the enemy's main force, we can then concentrate our efforts to annihilate it, or at least severely damage the enemy force.
War Cavalry, but they didn't expect that Long Ba would be defeated for a while before his entire army fled, making the previous plan useless.
Yang Peng thought for a moment and immediately ordered the messenger beside him: "Immediately order all armies. The infantry should stop pursuing and converge here. The light cavalry will continue to pursue. If you encounter a counterattack by the enemy's cavalry brigade, do not rush into battle!"
"The herald promised, quickly turned the horse's head and ran down.
Yang Peng said to Huyan Chijin: "I will stay here with all the heavy armored warriors. When Han Bing comes up later, you tell her that I want her to lead the main force for me!" Huyan Chijin responded and then asked:
"King Yan is going to pursue the enemy?"
Yang Peng said: "After this defeat, the enemy has become a frightened bird. We just took the opportunity to kill them hard! Okay, I'm leaving! Remember what I told you!" Huyan Chijin clasped his fists and promised.
Yang Peng turned his head and said: "Xuanjia Army, follow me!" Then he galloped towards the north, and Zhan Jin led two thousand Xuanjia Army to follow closely. The rumble of horse hoofs went north and gradually disappeared.
In the darkness, all the formation-breaking cavalry and the Yanwang cavalry stayed in place.
Not long after, I saw a rolling stream of soldiers coming from the south. At the head were two beautiful female generals. They were really eye-catching on this battlefield of blood and fire.
Huyan Chijin and others hurriedly came forward and said: "General, I will pay my respects to the two princesses!" Liang Hongyu asked anxiously: "Where is the eldest brother?" Huyan Chijin cupped his fists and said: "Not long ago, King Yan led the Xuanjia warriors to the north to pursue the enemy.
Gone! When King Yan left, he asked his general to tell the princess that the main force here is commanded by the princess." Han Bing was secretly annoyed: "Another person ran ahead and took risks, it's true!" He glanced at Huyan Chijin and said,
"I understand." Yang Erya on the side said anxiously: "Sister Hongyu, let's go and pick up the elder brother quickly!" Han Bing nodded and said to a Feifeng girl guard beside him: "Go back and tell Sister Yelu, just say the enemy
We have been defeated, we are chasing the enemy, tell her not to worry!" Fei Feng female guard responded, turned her horse's head, and ran down.
Han Bing glanced at the surrounding generals and said loudly: "Leave a thousand infantry here to deal with the aftermath, and the rest of the troops will follow me northward!" All the generals agreed in unison.
At this time, the Xuanjia Army led by Yang Peng had just defeated a Khitan army that had stopped to rest. Not long ago, this Khitan army of nearly 10,000 people ran for their lives and fled to a small river. They were really exhausted.
, stopped and wanted to take a rest. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of rumbling thunder came from the south. Everyone was shocked, and then saw countless black warriors surging towards them under the moonlight.
, rushing like a tide, with murderous intent reaching the sky. When everyone was in shock, they suddenly saw such a scene, and only one thought came to their mind, escape for their lives! So nearly ten thousand Khitan troops ran away without any resistance! Xuanjia
The army pursued them for a while, killing and injuring thousands of people. Then they ignored the scattered Khitan troops and continued to pursue the main force of the Khitan army north!
The Xuanjia Army pursued them all the way to the north, defeating many groups of Khitan troops one after another, killing countless people. When the sun rose from the east, Yang Peng had already led the Xuanjia Army to pursue them all night and arrived at the north of Yanmen Pass.
Hundreds of miles away from Yingzhou City. Yingzhou City, as mentioned above, is a transportation hub between Yanmen Pass and Datong Prefecture. Its strategic position is very important. The Yanyun Army had already conquered this city when it was shrinking its defenses.
The walls of the city were all destroyed.
At this time, Yan Yunjun came outside the city and saw that the city was as quiet as a ruined temple on a barren mountain.
Zhan Jinguo said: "They didn't stop here!" Yang Peng nodded and said to Zhan Jin Guo: "Send a few soldiers to go in and have a look." Zhan Jin Guo responded and immediately called a few soldiers to go in and check. Several soldiers
Riding his horse into Yinzhou, the rapid sound of horse hoofs suddenly disappeared in the city, and the world became silent again. Yang Peng stared at the city and waited. He was not worried about the Khitan army playing tricks here. If the Khitan army really
If they want to plot something in this abandoned city of Yingzhou, they will be seeking death. When their main force comes up, they will not be able to escape even if they want to.
After a while, several soldiers who had been sent came back on horseback. The leading soldier reported to Yang Peng: "I am reporting to King Yan that there is no one in the city, but there are many pots and stoves that were too late to clean up, and food is still cooking in them.
, it’s still hot!” Zhan Jinguo said excitedly: “The enemy must not be far away!” Yang Peng nodded, “Keep chasing!” Then he led the Xuanjia Army to continue chasing north.
Tens of miles away from Yinzhou City, we came to a place with rolling hills. Woo...! The horns of the Khitan Army suddenly sounded loudly. The Yanyun Army who was chasing the enemy were startled, and then they saw an army of nearly ten thousand people.
A human-sized enemy war cavalry rushed out from the mountains to the east, shouting, and at the same time, a Khitan army war cavalry of the same size surged up from the north.
Yang Peng didn't have time to think, and led the Xuanjia War Cavalry to meet them. In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided with each other, and a melee broke out between the hills! The Xuanjia War Cavalry was very powerful, and kept cutting down the Khitan army that was rushing towards them crazily.
When they turned over, they saw people on their backs, horses on their backs, and blood flying. However, the tigers could not hold back the wolves, and the powerful Black Armor cavalry also continued to suffer casualties! Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Yang Peng immediately led his army to break out of the encirclement. The Khitan army pursued for a moment and then stopped the pursuit.
, back into the hills.
Yang Peng led the Xuanjia Army to break out of the encirclement. Seeing that the Khitan army was not chasing them, he reined in his horse. Seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the Xuanjia Army also reined in their horses. Yang Peng turned his horse's head and looked at the hills, as if he was laughing at himself.
He smiled and said: "I was careless, and the boat capsized in the gutter!" Zhan Jinguo also looked very depressed. Yang Peng looked at the soldiers around him and saw that the casualties were not very large, so he was relieved. Although they had been attacked just now,
There was an ambush of more than 20,000 enemy warriors. However, the Xuanjia Army was too powerful after all, and coupled with the two great killers Yang Peng and Zhan Jinguo, the Khitan Army's 20,000 warriors had an advantage, but suffered far greater losses.
Far higher than the Yanyun Army, and they were unable to trap the Yanyun Army. Of course, their ambush at least temporarily repelled the Yanyun Army's pursuit, and the strategic goal was achieved.
At this time, Yeqi Hucheng was leading his army to retreat towards Baishan Mountain and had reached the junction of Sanggan River and Yuhe River. The Khitan army officers and soldiers were exhausted and their morale was low. Han saw that everyone was working too hard, so he suggested to Yeqi Hucheng
He said: "Your Majesty, stop and take a rest." Ye Qian Hucheng looked at the soldiers around him. They all looked exhausted and swaying around. He also felt very sleepy, so he nodded and said: "Stop.
Take a rest!" Han Chang received the approval and immediately raised his voice and shouted: "The king has ordered, rest on the spot! The king has ordered, rest on the spot!..." When the Khitan army soldiers heard this, they felt as if they had been granted amnesty, and they all
He sat down on the ground or even lay down, never wanting to move again. Looking around Yeqi Hucheng, he saw his soldiers sitting in piles here and there, in a mess, completely lacking the atmosphere that a great country's army should have. However, Yeqi Hucheng
Qian Hucheng only felt guilty, but not angry.
Yeqianhucheng sat down under a big camphor tree. Longba brought dry food and water. Yeqianhucheng took the dry food and water and wolfed it down. He had not eaten any rice or water all night, and he was already very hungry.
.Long Ba stepped aside and asked Han Chang in a low voice: "General Han, what happened last night?"
Han Chang sighed, "We have all been fooled! Yang Peng has set a trap for us from the beginning! It's all fake about the army going south! Yang Peng used this to lure us over, and then only deployed the army at the gate.
To resist us, his Yanyun main force all bypassed Yanmen Pass from a place called Yansu Cliff and set up an ambush behind us!"
"Then he raided our camp with his elite troops and forced our army to return for reinforcements. In this way, our army fell into the trap he carefully laid. Alas, last night, our army was marching, but we did not expect Yan Yun
The main force suddenly attacked from all directions. Before our army could react, it was smashed into several sections by their formation-breaking cavalry and King Yan's cavalry! By the time we reacted, the army was in chaos. Although we desperately directed the army to counterattack, we were unable to fight back.
Oh my god, I saw hundreds of thousands of troops being smashed into pieces by them, and there was no way to stop them! Hey, this Yang Peng is really terrifying! Not only is he brave and invincible, but he is also more cunning than a fox. How could such a person appear in the world?
A demon-like person?!" Han Changqing couldn't help but said. Long Ba couldn't help but sigh.
Han Chang looked at Long Ba and frowned: "In the most critical moment, we all counted on you to lead the cavalry to come back for reinforcements, but why couldn't we see you for so long?" Long Ba could hear the questioning tone in the other party's tone.
He had wanted to explain for a long time, but he never had the chance. Now when he heard Han Chang asked about it, he took the opportunity to tell what happened in detail. After hearing this, Han Chang frowned and murmured: "This is also the case in Yang Peng
In his plan!" Yeqi Hucheng, who was sitting not far away, naturally heard Long Ba's narration, and felt relieved. Then he sighed at Yang Peng's cunning. At this time, he no longer wanted to ask Yang Peng
Peng's ambition for revenge was high, and this defeat completely knocked out his spirit.
A cavalry of scouts came galloping from a distance, and everyone couldn't help but become nervous when they saw this scene, worried that bad news would come again.
I saw the scout galloping to the front of Yeqihu City, reining in his horse suddenly, jumping down, running to the front of Yeqihu City, kneeling and reporting: "Your Majesty, General Xiao Yeqian successfully ambushed the enemy! The enemy army
The pursuit force has been repulsed!"
When Ye Qi Hucheng and others heard this, they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Some people couldn't help but thank the Buddha and God. Ye Qi Hucheng said excitedly: "Okay, Xiao Yegan really didn't let me down!" Long heard these words.
In Ba's ears, Long Ba couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Han Chang walked to Yeqihu City and said, "Your Majesty, the Yanyun Army is no better than other armies. Although General Xiao Yeqian repelled the pursuers, there is no guarantee that the Yanyun Army will not attack again immediately! We cannot delay for too long.
, you should go and join General Xiao Lou as soon as possible!" Ye Qi Hucheng nodded and asked, "Hasn't there been a reply from Xiao Lou's room yet?" Han Chang shook his head, "Not yet!"
At this moment, someone pointed to the west and shouted: "Someone is coming!" Everyone turned their eyes to the west, and saw a troop of thousands of soldiers and horses running towards this direction, with flags swaying this way and that, panicking like a bereaved dog. Han Chang
He said to Ye Qi Hucheng: "Your Majesty, it seems to be General Dallan!" Ye Qi Hucheng looked at it carefully and nodded, "It's him!"
After a while, Dalan led the remaining defeated generals and ran in. Dalan ran straight to the Yeqi Tiger City, reined in his horse, jumped down, knelt down towards the Yeqi Tiger City with a plop, and cried out sadly: "Your Majesty, at the end of the day.
The general's men have suffered heavy losses!!" When all the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but feel sad. Thinking back on last night's experience, it felt like they had just had a nightmare.
Ye Qian Hucheng stepped forward, helped Dallan up, and blamed himself: "It's not your fault, it's my fault, it's my fault!!" Then he said to Han Chang: "Bring some dry food and water."
Han Chang responded, ran down, and then got water and dry food, and handed them to Ye Qi Hucheng: "Your Majesty." Ye Qi Hucheng took the water and dry food, handed them to Dalai's hands, and patted his shoulder.
, "It doesn't matter if we lose this time, we will definitely come back for revenge in the future!!" Dalan felt that this revenge would never be avenged, but he didn't dare to say it. Dalan was already very hungry and thirsty.
, my thoughts immediately returned to the water and food in my hands, and I couldn't care about anything else. I filled my stomach first and started devouring it.
Ye Qi Hucheng returned to the camphor tree and sat down. He leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes to rest. Thinking back to this battle, he couldn't help but feel extremely heavy and couldn't let go. How could this happen? How could this happen? Ye Qi Hucheng couldn't help thinking in his heart.
Asking himself, he felt that he had not made any big mistakes. Every step he had taken before seemed to be a wonderful move at the time! Alas, in the final analysis, his skills are still inferior to others. Yang Peng's chess is superior, and all my strategies are just
I'm afraid he'll find out! Thinking of this, Ye Qian Hucheng couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
In fact, the idea of Yeqi Hucheng is not completely correct. Although the Yanyun Army won the battle beautifully, in fact, there were many dangers in the process. The previous Yingchoujian was just a little bit successful by Yeqi Hucheng.
Well, last night, although the Yanyun Army laid a trap, there was a situation that Yang Peng and the others did not expect. That is, the Junfu Army was almost defeated by the Khitan Army. At that time, the victory or defeat was actually on the line.
In the meantime, as long as the Khitan army breaks through Yanmen Pass, the outcome of this battle will be completely different. War is like this. A small difference is a world of difference. In fact, it is difficult to say whether any decision on the battlefield is right or wrong.
What is wrong? In many cases, it is like betting big and betting small. It is not much different from gambling, unless the strength of the two parties is too different! Those historians or scholars hold a cup of tea to criticize the merits and demerits of historical figures. In fact,
Pure hindsight is meaningless!
Just when Ye Qi Hucheng was drowsy, the sound of horse hoofbeats came again. Wanyan Gao's heart moved and he opened his eyes. At this time, Han Chang said to Ye Qi Hucheng: "Your Majesty,
The people who were sent to contact General Xiao Loushi are back." Ye Qianhucheng stood up, turned and looked to the north, and saw a dozen knights running not far away, reining in their horses, and getting down one after another to fight the first two officers.
Run over quickly.
The two officers rushed to Yeqihu City and saluted. Then the officer on the left said: "Your Majesty, there is also a problem over there in Datong Mansion. General Xiao Loushi's 150,000-strong army was defeated by Cao Jun. Baishan Mountain was also defeated.
lost!"
Ye Qi Hucheng and others were shocked, and Ye Qi Hucheng asked anxiously: "How could this happen?"
The officer looked at the officer next to him and said, "He was sent by General Xiao Loushi. Let him tell you the specific situation." Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the officer on the right, and they heard the officer say: "
Not long ago, Cao Jun suddenly came out, and General Xiao Loushi led his army to fight against him. The armies of both sides fought fiercely in the fields outside the city, from morning to dusk, and there was no winner! But at this time
, but the Yanyun battle flag was erected on Baishan Mountain! Seeing this scene, the morale of our army was in chaos, and the Yanyun army took this opportunity to counterattack fiercely. Our army could not reach it and was ultimately defeated, and was forced to abandon the large offensive on the west bank of the Yuhe River.
The battalion retreated to the east bank of Yuhe..."
Ye Qian Hucheng asked angrily: "Didn't Xiao Loushi want to take back Baishan Mountain?"
The officer said: "After General Xiao Loushi led us back to the east bank of the Yuhe River, before we could gain a foothold, Cao Jun led his army to attack us. Our army fought fiercely with them, was defeated again, and retreated for more than thirty miles...
"
Ye Qi Hucheng was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, and cursed: "Trash, waste!!" The officer's heart froze and he did not dare to say any more. Ye Qi Hucheng glanced at him and shouted: "Keep talking!" The officer said
Then he continued: "After our army was defeated again, Cao Jun did not attack again. Until the villain left, General Xiao Loushi and the others were still stationed in the same place." Yeqi Hucheng asked: "How much did you lose?
?” “A total of thirty to forty thousand horses were lost. The Yanyun Army’s casualties were also considerable.”
Yeqihu City lowered his head and thought. Han Chang whispered beside him: "Your Majesty, we must cross the Yuhe River from here. If we go further, we are afraid that we will encounter an ambush from Cao Jun's side!" Yeqihu City
He frowned, nodded, and said to Han Chang: "Lead your troops down immediately to investigate whether there is a place where you can wade across the river. At the same time, cut down trees and collect boats to build a pontoon!" Han Chang responded and ran down.
Yeqihu City said to Long Ba again: "Long Ba, lead your 30,000 warriors to the north to ambush. If Yan Yun's army appears, I will intercept and kill them!" Long Ba responded and ran down.
Ye Qian Hucheng looked up at the sunny sky, but there was a haze in his heart. Then he couldn't help thinking: 'Maybe there is room for change. If the Xixia army has already attacked the Yellow River, the outcome of this battle is not certain.
Well.' As soon as I thought of this, I couldn't help but regain a lot of confidence in my heart.
The Khitan army was busy building pontoon bridges. At noon, the two pontoon bridges were built. At the same time, Han Chang reported that he found a shoal that could be waded across. The Yuhe River is a tributary of the Sanggan River, which is different from the major rivers.
, there are many shoals on this river that can be waded across. At the same time, urgent reports came from the north and south, saying that Yanyun's army had appeared.
Yeqianhu City did not dare to delay and ordered the army to cross the river. The Khitan army soldiers, who had already become frightened, rushed to cross the river, and the scene was chaotic. At about this time, the Yanyun army chasing from the south had already attacked Xiao Yegan's troops.
The Khitan army launched a fierce attack, and Yanyun's infantry and cavalry cooperated with each other to attack the Khitan army's defense line, flattening sections of the defense line like bulldozers! The battle lasted for half an hour, and the Khitan army, which tried its best, finally could not resist it, and the entire army collapsed.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiao immediately led all the light cavalry and Xuanjia troops to pursue and kill him. The soldiers of both sides chased and fought fiercely, and the killing screams never stopped.
At dusk, Yang Peng led his cavalry and rushed to the river, but in the end they arrived a step too late. The Khitan army had all escaped across the Yuhe River. The two pontoon bridges were burning on the river, and countless people who had been killed by the Khitan army were piled on the bank.
The armor's supplies were in a mess. Yang Peng didn't know the location of the shoal in this section, so he couldn't pursue it for a while.
In view of the fact that his own soldiers were quite exhausted after days of fierce fighting, Yang Peng ordered all the armies to gather at the intersection of Yuhe and Sanggan rivers for a temporary rest. He ordered Cao Jun to withdraw his troops to guard Datong and Baishan Mountain. At the same time, he sent out a large number of scouts for reconnaissance.
Every move in Yeqianhu City. The battle on Xijing Road has temporarily stopped.
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
