Yang Peng smiled and said: "No hurry!" Yang Jing said angrily: "I am just anxious!" Yang Peng chuckled, "Wait a minute, wait a minute and we will attack again!" Yang Jing did not dare to disobey Yang Peng's words.
He whispered in a low voice: "Wait, wait, wait, I don't know what to wait for!" Yang Peng ignored Yang Jing and raised his head to look at the fortress ahead.
Wei Mingtai stood on the wall of the village, watching Yan Yun's army in the field at the foot of the mountain. He felt that the army was neatly organized and majestic, and he couldn't help but feel that he was unable to resist. At this time, Wei Mingtai had already laid out the arrangements.
All the armies were in prepared positions, waiting for the Yanyun Army to attack, but the Yanyun Army just lined up in the field and made no movement. Wei Mingtai felt puzzled but also felt a little lucky. He just hoped that his opponent would never attack.
attack.
"It's on fire! It's on fire!..." A shrill cry suddenly came from inside the fortress. The Xixia soldiers were startled, and they turned to look inside the fortress. Suddenly they saw where the grain and grass were piled, and many fires were rising rapidly in the camp.
It spread, and at the same time, the officers, soldiers and civilians in the fortress were running around, creating a chaotic scene.
Wei Mingtai's expression changed and he couldn't help shouting: "No, a spy has sneaked in!" He turned to the two officers beside him and said: "Go down and stabilize everyone. If anyone dares to run around and scream, he will be killed on the spot."
Justice!" The two officers responded and ran down the wall. Then Wei Mingtai said to another officer of the company: "Two of you, one of you will organize people to put out the fire, and the other will hunt for the spies and arrest all the common people.
Get up!" The two men promised and ran down the wall.
The four officers acted in accordance with Wei Mingtai's orders, and the chaotic situation gradually stabilized. The fire in the grain and grass area and the camp area was also controlled. Although it could not be extinguished, it did not spread anymore.
Wei Mingtai was slightly relieved. However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the gate of the village. Wei Mingtai quickly looked towards the gate of the village and was shocked to see hundreds of sergeants attacking the soldiers guarding the gate. Those attacking
The attackers were very fierce, and the defenders were caught off guard. They were killed and retreated with heavy casualties. Seeing that the gate of the village was about to be lost, Wei Mingtai was shocked when he saw such a scene. He didn't think about it carefully and hurriedly shouted orders to those around him.
The soldiers went down the city wall to fight back.
The soldiers on the city wall received the order and rushed towards the village gate. However, before they arrived, the attackers had already opened the city gate. Wei Mingtai suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound behind him, and was startled. He quickly turned around and faced the city gate.
Looking down into the field at the foot of the mountain, I was shocked to see two thousand Yanyun Xuanjia troops flying in like black clouds, followed by tens of thousands of troops. Wei Mingtai's face turned pale in an instant.
After coming back to his senses, he turned around and shouted at the soldiers: "Quickly recapture the village gate!" If the village gate could be recaptured in time, it would be possible to hold on to the fortress. Otherwise, the Langshan Fortress would be lost today.
The Xixia soldiers also became frightened and anxious. In fear and anxiety, they counterattacked the village gate like crazy. Hundreds of Xixia soldiers crowded in front of the village gate and pushed forward desperately to attack; while Zhang Daniu led hundreds of hidden soldiers to desperately resist.
, fighting hard, roars and screams, swords and blood flying together. In this narrow area in front of the village gate, the soldiers of both sides fought with their lives, one side wanted to take back the village gate, and the other side had to desperately defend the village gate.
, in the blink of an eye, countless corpses were lying on the ground. The soldiers of both sides stepped on the corpses and continued to fight. The two sides formed a stalemate. Although the Xixia army was large in number, they could not use their weapons in this narrow area in front of the village gate.
not open.
The sound of rumbling horse hoofs came closer. Wei Mingtai quickly looked outside and saw that the black cloud-like Xuanjia Army had arrived in front of the village gate! Wei Mingtai suddenly felt as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant.
of.
Immediately, a loud rumbling sound came from the gate of the village. The Kingdom of Zhanjin led two thousand Xuanjia troops to rush into the gate of the village, crashed into the Xixia army, and fiercely slaughtered them forward. They trampled on them with iron hooves, and flew with swords and guns, killing the corpses of the Xixia army.
Ji Xue Fei retreated repeatedly, and finally drove them into pieces and fled. At this moment, the main force of Yan Yun had also arrived and was pouring into the city.
The Xixia army was gone and ran in all directions. Those who could not escape quickly threw away their weapons and knelt down on the spot... Half an hour later, the battle was over. The flames in the fortress had been extinguished by the Yanyun army, and the ground was littered with corpses.
Basically they are from Xixia, and many soldiers of the Yanyun Army are cleaning the battlefield; groups of prisoners are being escorted by the Yanyun Army towards one place with their heads lifted, and each prisoner's heart is full of humiliation. However,
Under this humiliation, there is also a sense of joy. No matter what, the battle is over and my life is still there.
Zhang Daniu rushed to Yang Peng, clasped his fists and said: "Master, all the enemies have been eliminated. Except for more than two thousand people who were killed, all the others were captured. However, Wei Mingtai ran away, and General Zhan is leading his army to pursue him."
Yang Peng nodded, smiled and said to Zhang Daniu: "You should be the first to conquer Langshan Fortress!" Zhang Daniu grinned, looking a little excited and embarrassed. Zhang Daniu and the hundreds of secret guards
How could they launch an attack from inside the Langshan Fortress? Haha, it is actually very simple to put it bluntly, because hundreds of the thousands of Xixia soldiers and civilians who fled into the Langshan Fortress were their fake names, Wei Mingtai.
They never thought that among the thousands of soldiers and civilians who were fleeing one after another, there would be Yanyun troops. Just when the Xixia people's attention was outside the fortress, Zhang Daniu led all the secret guards who had sneaked in to suddenly attack.
They set fire to create chaos, and then took advantage of the chaos to attack the village gate. The Xixia people were caught off guard and Zhang Daniu and the others captured the village gate in one fell swoop. Needless to say what happened after that...
Brother Weimingxiu and others finally crossed the Wuga River and rushed towards the Langshan Fortress. At sunset, they saw the military stronghold at the foot of Langshan Mountain from a distance. Everyone couldn't help but feel happy and hurried on.
Rush over there.
However, not long after he ran out, Li Qiyun suddenly reined in his horse and shouted: "Stop, stop, something seems wrong!" When everyone heard this, they quickly reined in their horses and looked towards the military camp, only to see a big ball flying over the military camp.
The flag was embroidered with two big Chinese characters of "Yanyun". Everyone was shocked. Weiming Huxiong couldn't help shouting, "Yanyun?! Could it be that the Langshan Fortress was also lost!?"
Weiming Shouzhong said quickly: "Let's not get close. If we are discovered by Yan Yun's army, we will be in danger! Go around!" Weiming Huxiong said angrily: "Langshan Mountain is steep. Except for the road in front of you, there is no way.
There is no way to go! What should we do after we go around it?" Wei Mingshouzhong said: "I know there is a small road in Langshan, which is very remote. Although a large group of people cannot walk with their luggage, there is no problem for dozens of us!" Wei
Minghuxiong's eyes lit up and he said happily: "There is still such a way! Great, let's go quickly!" The others did not take any action, but looked at Brother Weimingxiu. When Weiminghuxiong saw this, he couldn't help but look too.
Wei’s name is Brother Xiu.
Brother Wei Mingxiu looked at the Langshan Fortress in the distance, sighed, and turned away his gaze and said to everyone: "Let's go!" Everyone remained silent and turned their horses to head north...
Yan Yun's army captured Langshan Fortress in one fell swoop, and the entire Wulahai area fell into Yan Yun's control. Then Yang Peng left 3,000 people to guard Wulahai City and 2,000 people to guard Langshan Fortress, while he himself led
The large army continued to march. Three days later, the army arrived at the Hue Ferry, which is located at the branch of the Yellow River. After passing the Hue Ferry, the army could go down the left side of the Yellow River. The Hue Ferry had already been reached by Yan before.
Yun Zhanqi had already captured the Xixia reinforcements when they raided them, so the army did not have to fight here. However, the Hue Fortress, located eighty miles south of Hue Ferry, had to be attacked with great effort. At that time, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu planned the battle.
The plan was to ambush and annihilate the Xixia reinforcements, and then take advantage of the situation to seize the Hue Ferry. If the situation allowed, even the Hue Fortress would be captured in one fell swoop. However, after the Yanyun Army captured the Hue Ferry, they discovered that the Xixia Army in the Hue Fortress had already noticed.
When it came to our own actions, we gave up the plan to capture the Hue fortress immediately and concentrated on destroying the Xixia army in the Ula Hai area.
Yanyun's army passed the Hue ferry, and then moved southward by land and water. The rolling wave of troops approached the Hue fortress. However, at this moment, Yang Peng was worried about the situation in the south. He had wiped out the Xixia army in the Ulahai area not long ago, but he had not learned from those captives.
He further confirmed the battle situation in the south. The Tubo army had been defeated and fled. Li Qingxia had laid down a huge bag and was waiting for the Yanyun army to enter the urn. The situation was very favorable to Xixia. The situation in the south was unknown.
How's it going? Have Yang Yanzhao, Gao Hu and the others been defeated?
Yang Peng calmed down and temporarily put these worries behind him. He had made up his mind to insist on going south even in the worst case scenario. Only a devastating attack could minimize the losses caused by the defeat in the south.
In the past few days, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu were not only considering offensive strategies, but also how to stabilize the situation in the future. They both felt that if Yang Yanzhao Gaohu was defeated, they would have to transfer troops from Qinfeng Road to stabilize the situation. But if the enemy
The army used an elite force to seize Yan'an Prefecture before the Qin Feng Road reinforcements arrived, then the entire situation would be very unfavorable to our side...
Brother Wei Mingxiu and others crossed Langshan Mountain on a small road and then headed south. When they arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, they saw Yanyun's land and water army marching southward in the distance. They couldn't help but feel shocked. They immediately avoided Yanyun.
The army took a small road and rushed towards the Hue Fortress. When they arrived at the Hue Fortress, it was already evening, and dozens of people couldn't help but feel like they were reincarnated. The person guarding the Hue Fortress was a general under the command of Brother Weimingxiu.
, named Li Xiong, was very happy to see brother Wei Mingxiu arrive, and quickly gave up his official residence to brother Wei Mingxiu to camp. At the same time, Wei Mingtai, who had fled to Hue Fortress first, also came to visit Wei.
His name is Brother Xiu.
Brother Wei Mingxiu sat on the main seat, sighed, and couldn't help but murmured: "It's like a nightmare! In a few days, the entire Ulahai area fell! We are like bereaved dogs, and we are in panic all day long!" Wei
Ming Huxiong wanted to say something tough, but he couldn't say it at all. Even a fierce and fearless general like him was beaten out of temper by Yan Yunjun! "
Brother Weimingxiu looked at Li Xiong and asked: "How many defenders are there in Hue Fortress?" Li Xiong said: "A total of two thousand troops."
Everyone frowned, and Weiming Huxiong said angrily: "Facing Yanyun's army, two thousand people are not enough to fill our teeth!" Weimingtai said: "General, why don't we abandon the Hue Fortress?
, retreat to Keyi Gate or Lou Bo Bei." Lou Bo Bei is located in an oasis deep in the desert more than 300 miles southwest of Hue Fort. It is the seat of the so-called Baima Qiang Town Military Division. The leading general is named Li Xingguo.
Members of the Xixia royal family; the reason why Xixia set up the Baimaqiang Town Military Division there is of course because of the strategic location of Loubobei. There are two long and narrow oasis corridors to the west of Loubobei, and the northwest one can directly lead to the two huge lakes.
Heishui Town Yanjunsi is now near Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia, and the one to the southwest leads directly to the location of Gansu Militarysi, Xuanhua Prefecture, which is Zhangye.
In addition to its important strategic position, the military division of Baima Qiang Town is also one of the most important salt production areas in Xixia. The so-called Gilantai Salt Pond is located here. Keyi Gate is located more than 200 miles south of Hue Fortress, on the right
The seat of the Shunjun Division of the Xiang Dynasty, together with Shengwei City on the east bank of the Yellow River, formed the last barrier to the north of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xixia Kingdom. If the line of Keyi Gate was broken through, the Yanyun Army could reach Dingzhou directly, and Dingzhou
A few dozen miles to the south is Xingqingfu, the capital of the Xixia Kingdom.
Brother Wei Mingxiu sighed, "Those are not my territory. If we leave here, we will really become homeless dogs!" He paused, frowned and said: "Besides, this Hue Fortress, the place is not
It's a big place, but its position is very important. We must hold on here!" At this time, Brother Wei Mingxiu has made up his mind not to escape. If he cannot hold the Hue Fortress, it is better to die here than to escape to someone else's territory.
Being laughed at by others.
Li Qiyun frowned and said: "The general understands his intention! However, two thousand troops cannot defend the Hue Fortress no matter what!" Several generals couldn't help but nodded.
Brother Wei Mingxiu said angrily: "I have nowhere to escape after escaping here! If the Yanyun army comes to attack, I will fight with them to the last soldier! If you die, you will be a man. It is better than escaping."
Go to other people's territory and be ridiculed by others!" Such decisive words aroused the heroic spirit of the generals. Weiming Huxiong slapped his chest and loudly said: "I will defend to the end with my eldest brother!" The generals looked at each other and saluted together.
He said: "We are willing to follow the general to the death!" Brother Wei Mingxiu looked at the subordinates in front of him, and he was extremely pleased. He laughed and said: "Okay! You are worthy of being a good man of the party! We brothers will live and die together, and we will live and die together.
The Yanyun Army will fight to the bitter end!" All the generals shouted in unison: "We live and die together, and fight to the bitter end!!"
An officer rushed in anxiously, knelt down and said: "General, Yan Yun's army has arrived!" Although everyone had already made up their mind to die, when they heard the news of the arrival of Yan Yun's army, they still couldn't help but exclaim.
Surprised. Brother Wei Mingxiu stood up and walked outside, followed by the generals.
Everyone came to the city wall and looked outside the city. They saw several long 'giant dragons' winding from the mountains on the river, and a huge fleet of boats on the river was also going south. The generals
Seeing such a scene, fear arose in my heart. It's easy to say an oath, but once you have to face such an ending, few people can face it calmly. This is true for the Xixia generals, and even more so for the ordinary soldiers.
Needless to say, everyone looked pale and frightened, and there was no fighting spirit left.
Soon after, the Yanyun army on land was seen marching out of the mountains and setting up camp in the open space by the river seven or eight miles away. At the same time, the fleet on the water came to the shore and built a water fortress. Although they were separated by
It was still far away, but the sound of people shouting and horses neighing could still be heard clearly.
At this moment, a soldier led a veteran herald and rushed up, reporting with great excitement: "His Majesty the General has sent reinforcements again!!"
Everyone turned around suddenly and saw a veteran herald coming forward and saluting: "General, I am the herald under the command of General Shunjun in the Right Wing, and I have been specially ordered to come and inform the general.
My general has received your Majesty's urgent report and has mobilized 2,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 civilian troops to come for reinforcements." The name of the general of the Shun Army Division in the right wing is Wei Mingji. He has the same surname as Wei Mingxiu brother, so he naturally belongs to
They are of the same race, but their relationship is not close, and the two of them once had a conflict over a brothel girl.
Brother Wei Mingxiu was moved and said: "I didn't expect that the general would be so generous. Thank you so much!" Thinking of the ongoing war in the south, he couldn't help but ask: "Has the problem in the south been solved?"
The herald said: "I don't know about this villain, but since your Majesty ordered my general to support the general, the situation in the south must be very good. Maybe the Yanyun Army has been annihilated, and the main army is heading north!" He
These words were very inspiring, and the surrounding Xixia soldiers seemed to have been given a shot in the arm.
Brother Weimingxiu nodded thoughtfully and said to the herald: "When you go back, thank the general for me!" The herald agreed, and then said: "If the general has no other instructions, I will go back.
Returned!" Brother Weiming Xiu nodded. The herald bowed to Brother Weimingxiu and left in a hurry.
Yelu Huxiong laughed excitedly and said: "Okay! Although we were defeated miserably, the Yanyun Army was defeated even worse!" He glanced at the Yanyun Army Camp in the distance and couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck!"
Yes! When His Majesty's army arrives, it will be our turn to catch the ducks!" Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the previous dull and worried atmosphere seemed to have disappeared at this moment.
In the Yanyun tent, Yang Peng received an emergency military report from Xizuo and learned that Chaoshun Military Division in the south of Youxiang had assembled a troop of soldiers and horses and was heading towards the Hue Fortress. In addition, Xizuo was still near the capital.
I heard some rumors that Yan Yun's army had been defeated and fled south. Many people celebrated spontaneously, and there were scenes of jubilation and celebration everywhere inside and outside Xingqing Mansion.
The generals were very anxious and whispered among themselves. Yang Peng was also very anxious, but he did not show it at all. He raised his head, glanced at the generals, and said with a smile: "The behavior in the enemy's territory may not be true. They are very anxious."
Maybe you did this deliberately to disturb the morale of our army!" When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but think deeply. Yang Jing said loudly: "Brother is right, I think that's what it is! Those frustrated birds want to use this method to
Let's cheat him, I, Yang Jing, won't fall for this!"
Meng Hu laughed and said: "It's not easy to let Yang Jing be fooled!" Yang Jing laughed loudly, shook his head and said: "That's right!" Everyone laughed, and Yang Jing followed suit, very proud. Yang Pengyang
The voice said: "Go back to your respective armies and prepare to attack!" Everyone stopped laughing, clasped their fists in agreement, and then retreated one after another.
After the generals left, Yang Peng couldn't help but frown, with a graceful look on his face.
Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng and asked: "Brother, are you worried about the war in the south?" Yang Peng sighed, looked up outside the tent, frowned and said: "I have to worry, all the information I have received so far is
Bad! I’m afraid, Yang Yanzhao and the others have really been defeated! It’s unbelievable! Gao Hu can say that Yang Yanzhao actually defeated the battle!” Yelu Hanyu said: “Any genius general will inevitably lose the battle!”
Yang Peng nodded, lowered his head and thought: "According to the information obtained so far, Yang Yanzhao, Gao Hu and the others should have been defeated not long ago. Based on this calculation, we should still have time!" Yelu Hanyu asked: "Eldest brother plans to attack the right side.
Xiang Chao Shunjun Division in order to directly threaten the capital of Xixia?"
Chen Xiao nodded and thought: "Only in this way can we make up for the negative impact of the defeat on the southern front to the greatest extent!" Yelu Hanyu nodded, lowered his head in thought, and frowned tightly. In her heart, she felt deeply worried about the southern front.
It is actually difficult to accept the defeat on the front line. Since Yan Yun's rise, he has been invincible and has been unfavorable in all directions. Although it is not that he has never been defeated, they were all insignificant defeats. He has never been defeated like this.
However, this defeat not only wiped out Yanyun's pre-war strategic advantage in a short time, but also made it possible that Yanyun could no longer devour Xixia during Yang Peng's lifetime. How could the situation become like this? Is it God's will?
Should Xixia’s fate be cut off? Yelu Hanyu’s mind was a little confused.
At the same time, a fast horse galloped from the high mountains to the north. The rider on the horse was exhausted from the dust, and the horse under him was obviously exhausted. The horse's hooves were heavy and muddy, and he didn't know what happened to this man.
How long did the horse run? The knight was wearing the unique clothing of Yanyun's soldiers and carried a round bamboo tube on his back, which contained the urgent military information.
The messenger rushed to the gate of the camp, and the war horse screamed sadly, knelt forward and fell to the ground. Normally, the messenger would have jumped down in time, but at this moment, he was extremely exhausted and was feeling dizzy.
, no matter how he reacted, the whole person also fell down with the war horse, fell heavily to the ground, and could not get up.
When the sergeant at the door saw this, he rushed out and raised the messenger. The soldier fell with blood and dust on his face and weakly said: "Quick, quick, urgent report, urgent report of the battle situation in the south!" Upon hearing this, several sergeants said,
He quickly carried him in and ran straight towards the big tent. Entering the big tent, a sergeant clasped his fists and said, "I'm reporting to King Yan that we have urgent military information!" At this time, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu were standing in front of the map.
Hearing this, he immediately turned around and saw the herald who had more air coming out and less air coming in. He couldn't help but feel shocked.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
