When Brother Wei Mingxiu heard the news, he couldn't help being shocked. Li Qiyun, the general next to him, said in fear: "They are going to cut off our retreat!" Brother Wei Mingxiu said urgently: "Quickly, send the order and retreat immediately!
"The generals hurriedly agreed and ran down. Immediately there was a commotion in the fortress.
Yang Peng noticed signs of commotion on the Hue Fortress from afar, and immediately ordered the army to leave the camp and attack the Hue Fortress. The war drums rang loudly, the gates on the south side of the camp were opened wide, and a torrent of soldiers poured out.
Out, the horses' hooves roared, their armor clanked, and they rushed towards the Hue Fortress.
The Xixia army in the fortress was retreating in a hurry. At this time, they saw Yanyun's army coming out in full force. They were so frightened that they couldn't care about the generals' orders and rushed to escape from the city. The scene was in chaos. Brother Weimingxiu saw
Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He couldn't care about it now.
Seeing that there was no one on top of the majestic and steep fortress beside the dangerous peak, Yan Yun's army immediately launched an attack. The wave of soldiers surged under the city wall and then overran the city wall. Then the city gate was opened by Yan Yun's army who entered the fortress.
, without encountering any resistance from beginning to end. Then Chen Xiao led the army into Hue Fortress.
Yanyun's army captured Hue Fort without any bloodshed, and divided the army into two groups. One was the main force led by Yang Peng, which advanced by land and water and drove directly to Keyi Gate, which is almost two hundred miles south of Hue Fort. The other group was led by Yelu Hanyu.
Leading only 20,000 soldiers and horses, he marched southwest and attacked Loubobei, where the military headquarters of Baima Qiang Town was located.
Let’s leave this aside for now and let’s turn our attention to Xiping Mansion. Li Qingxia, dressed in military uniform, stood on the city gate of Xiping Mansion, looking at the vast wilderness in the south, her brows furrowed. All the civil and military personnel stood behind her, looking very serious.
With a solemn look, even the most carefree people cannot relax at this time. After all, a war that concerns the entire Xixia and the fate of the entire party is about to come, and the battlefield is right here.
Li Qingxia turned to ask the Generalissimo Li Zongdao beside her: "Generalissimo, is there any news from Li Cunxiao?" Li Zongdao replied: "I was about to report to Your Majesty. I just received news that Li Cunxiao's Snow Mountain Army is still attacking Youzhou.
.The Yanyun Army refused to retreat, and the battle was extremely brutal! Li Cunxiao's Snow Mountain Army had already suffered nearly 10,000 casualties! Of course, the Yanyun Army also suffered heavy casualties!"
Li Qingxia frowned and said: "If Li Cunxiao cannot break through Youzhou, it is better to transfer the main force of the Snow Mountain Army here, so that we can be more sure." Li Qingxia currently has a total of 400,000 troops in Xiping Mansion. Isn't that enough?
Maybe it's really not enough, because of the 400,000 troops, less than 200,000 are regular troops, and the rest are civilians gathered temporarily; but Yang Yanzhao's Volcano Army is different. Although there are only 100,000 in number, they are all
They are elites who have fought in hundreds of battles, and each of them is as brave as ten. Therefore, although the Xixia army has 400,000 soldiers, it is really hard to say whether they will win or lose this battle.
After listening to Li Qingxia's words, Li Zongdao was silent for a moment and said: "Our army can at least draw a tie when facing Yang Yanzhao's troops, so there is no need to worry too much! And if the main force of the Snow Mountain Army is transferred over, our advantage will not be the same.
It will increase too much. If the Yanyun Army retreats to Yanzhou, we will have nothing to do with them. This will become an embarrassing situation of being invincible. However, if the main force of the Xueshan Army continues to attack Youzhou, our army will most likely
To win, after all, there are only 10,000 Yanyun troops in Youzhou. No matter how brave they are, they can't withstand the continuous fierce attacks of our Snow Mountain elite! As long as Youzhou is broken and the Snow Mountain army marches straight in, they can take the Great Wall Ridge in one go! The Great Wall Ridge can be taken in one go.
Next, our army can be said to be sure of victory, and at least it can annihilate Yang Yanzhao's 100,000-strong army!"
Li Qingxia pondered and nodded, "The Generalissimo is right!" She raised her head and looked into the distance and murmured: "I hope Li Cunxiao can live up to his great trust!" Li Zongdao said categorically: "He can definitely do it! If he can't, we'll have to
No one in the Xia army can do it!"
A fast horse suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance, galloping towards this side. The eyes of everyone on the city gate couldn't help but fall on him. Prime Minister Zuo Li Tongren said: "He is a scout of our army!" After a moment,
The scout galloped to the city, reined in his horse, and shouted: "Military emergency, open the city gate quickly!"
The city gate immediately opened, the scouts galloped in, and the city gate was closed immediately. A moment later, the scout appeared behind Li Qingxia, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, Yang Yanzhao's Yanyun Army has arrived thirty miles away.
!”
Everyone was shocked, and Li Zongdao couldn't help but said: "It's so fast! In the morning, the distance was still sixty miles, but now it is only thirty miles!" Li Qingxia looked grim and said loudly: "Let's explore again!" The scout responded.
With a sound, he ran down the city wall, and then the city gate opened and closed, and the scouts galloped out and flew into the distance.
At sunset that day, the Yanyun army suddenly appeared in the field of vision. Facing the setting sun, one could see a blood-red hue as the Yanyun army rolled in. An invisible and huge pressure hit their faces. All Xixia people were shocked.
She felt breathless, and there was a dull and vague rumble in her ears, as if the brewing thunder was approaching from far away. Li Qingxia couldn't help but murmured: "It's here! It's finally here.
!”
The tide of one hundred thousand Yanyun troops slowly approached the city wall and stopped four hundred steps away from the city wall. The sound of thunder gradually stopped, and then there was a chilling atmosphere.
A brave general carrying two hammers rushed out from Yanyun's army, ran between the two armies, and shouted: "I am General Yang Gui of Yanyun, who dares to fight with me!" Huge power!
The violent sound was louder than thunder, rolling and reverberating in the sky. The Xixia people on the city wall were stunned and stunned.
When Li Qingxia saw that Yang Gui's aura actually overwhelmed hundreds of thousands of his own troops, she couldn't help but be surprised and admired. Her eyes shone with brilliance and she couldn't help but murmured: "Such an aura is worthy of being powerful in the world."
Tiger general!"
After hearing Li Qingxia's words, the fierce general Yeji was very unconvinced and loudly shouted: "Your Majesty, I will go and get his head!" After saying that, he ran down the city wall. Then the city gate opened and closed, and Yeji carried his hand.
Mace ran out of the city gate. Everyone on the city wall saw him speeding away towards Yue Yun, and they couldn't help but get excited, and shouts rang out one after another on the city wall.
Yeji rode his horse more than ten steps in front of Yang Gui, reined in his horse, pointed at Yang Gui and shouted in Party language: "I am General Yeji, and I want to take your head!"
Yang Gui didn't understand Dangxiang's language and knew it was not a nice thing to say, so he stopped talking nonsense to him and rushed towards him. Seeing this, Yeji shouted to urge his horse, raised his mace high and faced him, saying
The howl was really like a wild beast. At this time, on the battlefield, the shouts of the soldiers on both sides were like a sea wave, deafening!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides met, and Yeji swung the mace and hit Yang Gui on the head. It was really astonishing. Yang Gui looked motionless, raised his left hand with the copper hammer in his hand, and with a snap, he came down from the bottom.
The mace collapsed and flew high upwards. Yeji felt the opponent's power was extremely powerful and was shocked. At this moment, he heard a loud roar and saw the copper hammer in the opponent's right hand hitting him! Yeji was frightened.
He jumped and wanted to dodge, but before he could, the copper hammer hit him hard on the head. His helmet was cracked and his brain was shattered. His brains were scattered everywhere. He couldn't survive! The Xixia people on the city wall saw such a scene.
, my heart was shocked, the shouting and cheering suddenly stopped, and there was a dead silence on the city wall!
The two horses passed each other and ran for more than ten steps. Yang Gui reined in his horse, turned around, and looked towards Ye Ji, who then dismounted and leaned to one side. Yang Gui turned around and looked at the city wall, shouting loudly
He shouted: "Is there anyone else coming to die?" Although the Xixia soldiers could not understand Yang Gui's words, they were overwhelmed by his momentum and felt fearful and uneasy in their hearts.
Yeji's younger brother, Ye Heli, said sadly and angrily: "Your Majesty, I am going to avenge my brother!" After saying that, he ran down the city wall. Li Qingxia turned to the heroes around her and said: "You guys go together, be sure to take down Yang Gui
The heads!" All the generals agreed in unison and ran down the city wall together.
The city gate opened wide, and the sound of horse hooves rumbled. Yue Yun looked toward the city gate and saw six enemy generals pouring out together, with excitement showing on his face. The six enemy generals poured out of the city gate without saying a word.
He roared and rushed towards Yang Gui. Yang Gui held a pair of copper hammers and stood tall and unmoving, like a towering mountain peak. The Xixia people on the city wall couldn't help but feel heartbroken when they saw Yang Gui's arrogance, and Li Qingxia was even more heartbroken.
Ripple, cannot do it by oneself.
Six Xixia warriors suddenly swarmed in front of Yang Gui, and then attacked fiercely with swords and guns. Yang Gui waved his hammers, and only heard the loud sound of the weapons hitting each other. In the blink of an eye, six Xixia warriors surrounded him.
Yang Gui was fighting around him like a revolving lantern. All kinds of weapons kept coming at Yang Gui. However, Yang Gui danced a group of bronze hammers until they made a whirring sound. All the weapons he attacked were knocked away by him.
Yes, it is really impenetrable and airtight!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides fought fiercely for more than thirty rounds, but there was still no winner. Yang Gui became more and more courageous as he fought. The brass hammer in his hand whistled louder and louder, swinging away the enemy's attacking weapons and counterattacking at the same time.
With one against six, he actually gained the upper hand more and more; but the six Xixia warriors were getting more and more stretched. Seeing Yang Gui's bravery like a god, he couldn't help but feel timid, and the Xixia people on the city wall stared with wide eyes.
, pursed her lips tightly, clenched her hands, and sweated profusely for the generals on her side. Yang Gui's bravery deeply shocked them!
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen moves passed, and Yang Gui's momentum had already overwhelmed the six Xixia warriors. Yang Gui's roar was heard, like a thunderbolt from the blue. The six Xixia warriors were shocked physically and mentally, and their movements were all shaken.
He couldn't help but hesitate. At this moment, Yue Yun's pair of hammers were seen flying up and down, hitting the chests of two enemy generals with two bangs.
The two enemy generals screamed and fell off their horses. The other four were shocked when they saw two of their companions killed instantly. Before they could react, Yang Gui had already found the third person. Xixia Han
When the general saw Yang Gui approaching fiercely, he was frightened. He hurriedly attacked Yang Gui with his sword, the light of the sword flashed. Yang Gui shouted, and swung the two hammers in his hands upwards to attack the opponent's sword with a loud bang.
There was a sound, and the broadsword broke instantly after being hit by the two hammers! The Xixia warrior was horrified when he saw that the sword that he had used to fight was broken by his opponent in one fell swoop! Then he saw his opponent's copper hammer whizzing towards him, and it was as powerful as a mountain collapse. The Xixia warrior was frightened.
He was so frightened that he couldn't help but subconsciously raised the knife pole to resist. He only heard a loud bang, and the copper hammer smashed the knife pole like a piece of wood. The force did not diminish, and then it hit the ground with a muffled sound.
On the Xixia warrior's chest, I saw his chest dent, blood spurting from his mouth and nose, and he fell off his horse with his legs in the air.
At this moment, Xixia warrior Ye Heli attacked Yang Gui from behind. Upon seeing this, Yan Yun's soldiers shouted. Some reminded Yang Gui to be careful of the enemy behind him, while others cursed the enemy as despicable. In fact, Yang Gui had already heard the news behind him.
He heard the sound of the horse's hoofbeats, but deliberately did not turn around. When he heard the sound of the horse's hoofbeats, he suddenly turned around and swung the copper hammer with his right hand to sweep past him. Ye Heli ran behind Yang Gui, fully expecting to get the mace.
As soon as he raised it, he saw his opponent's copper hammer suddenly sweeping towards him. He was so shocked that he didn't care about attacking anymore and quickly leaned his body back. Almost at the same time, the copper hammer was carried by the strong wind and flew past him.
Half a foot away, Ye Heli was so shocked that he was sweating coldly. However, before he could sit up, he heard the terrible sound of the copper hammer, and almost at the same time, he saw Yang Gui's other copper hammer coming down from top to bottom.
It hit him straight down. At this time, Ye Heli was lying on his back on his horse. He saw the copper hammer falling down like a mountain. He wanted to dodge, but his body had no time to react.
The others only saw Yang Gui's copper hammer slamming into Ye Heli's face, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere. The remaining two Xixia warriors were horrified to the extreme, feeling that the Yanyun warrior in front of them was simply inhuman.
, clearly a terrifying monster from hell. They turned their horses' heads in unison and bolted towards the city gate.
Yang Gui was eager to fight and chased after him. Seeing this, the Xixia people on the city wall couldn't help but feel their hearts in their throats. The two sides were at the same speed, and the distance between them never got closer. The Xixia warrior at the end was a long way away from Yang Gui.
There is a distance of about two horse lengths.
Seeing that the two Xixia warriors were about to escape, Yue Yun suddenly heard a roar on the battlefield. At the same time, he raised his right hand and threw the heavy copper hammer in his right hand at the back of the Xixia warrior.
Get out! The bronze hammer flew across the distance between two horses and hit the Xixia warrior in the back. The Xixia warrior screamed and then fell off his horse. The Xixia people on the city wall were stunned for a moment.
He swallowed involuntarily.
The last Xixia warrior rushed into the city gate, and the gate was closed immediately. Yang Gui ran to the body of the Xixia warrior. Seeing the corpse bleeding from all its orifices, with a look of horror on his face, he smiled coldly. He bent down and picked himself up.
Holding a bronze hammer, he looked up at the large group of Xixia nobles on the city gate tower and shouted: "Is there anyone else who has come to die?"
The Xixia civil and military officials seemed to be standing in the cold wind, their whole bodies shivering uncontrollably. Li Tongren couldn't help but said: "I have heard of Yang Gui a long time ago, but I didn't expect him to be even scarier than the legend!"
Wen Wu feels the same way.
Li Qingxia shouted: "What's so scary! Isn't he just a man with some brute strength? How can the bravery of an ordinary man be said?" All the civil and military officials couldn't help but feel ashamed. Footsteps sounded behind them, and only one of the six Xixia warriors was left.
Li Yuantong, the fierce general, rushed behind Li Qingxia, bowed with shame on his face and said: "The last general is incompetent, please punish him!"
Li Qingxia turned around and looked at Li Yuantong with a very complicated expression. She just heard her say: "You are not guilty. You have tried your best. It's just that Yang Gui is too powerful! You won't be defeated by him."
It’s not a shame!” Li Yuantong said with lingering fear: “The general has gone through countless battles, big and small, and there have been countless strong generals from Liao, Mongolia, Tubo, and Song, but he has never encountered such a terrifying tiger general! The general and the other six people
It is incredible to besiege him alone and gain less than half an advantage. However, under such circumstances, he can kill five generals of our army one after another. This, this, this is simply not something that a human can do.
thing!"
Li Qingxia frowned. Although she was also very horrified by Yang Gui's performance, she didn't like it when her subordinates said such words. Saying these words would not be of any use except to make others more ambitious and destroy her own prestige.
Li Qingxia said displeasedly: "Yang Gui is just a bit brave, and it doesn't have much effect on the outcome of the war! On the battlefield where millions of troops are fighting fiercely, a single arrow can kill his dog."
Life!" Everyone felt that what His Majesty said was very reasonable, and the fear of Yang Gui in their hearts subsided a lot.
Yang Gui continued to challenge loudly outside the city, but the Xixia army, which had already lost six strong generals, dared to fight. Seeing that the enemy troops were retreating in the city, Yang Gui did not dare to fight, so he turned his horse around and returned to his own formation. When he came to his father
In front of the commander, he crossed his two hammers in front of the saddle, clasped his fists and said: "Father, commander, the enemy army can't retreat, the child is back and alive!"
Yang Yanzhao looked at Yang Gui, his eyes full of praise, but these expressions were quickly replaced by serious expressions, and he nodded slightly, "You did a good job, and finally you didn't lose the face of our Yan Yun Army!" Yang Gui agreed.
With a sound, he returned to his father. Yang Yanzhao looked up at the city and said: "The enemy will not go out to fight. The army retreated fifteen miles and retreated to the mountain to retreat to the stronghold!" The generals agreed in unison, and then rode down to greet each other.
The army under his command. The front column of the 100,000-strong army turned into the rear column, and the rear column changed into the front column, slowly retreating toward the southeast.
When Li Qingxia saw that Yanyun's army had retreated, she said to Li Zongdao: "I ordered all the troops to be on guard and guard and not to be negligent." Li Zongdao agreed, and then gave the order to several of the heralds around him, and several of the heralds agreed.
, and immediately ran down.
Li Qingxia led the civil and military personnel back to the camp hall. Li Qingxia walked up to the top and sat down. The civil and military personnel were separated on the left and right. Li Qingxia glanced at everyone and asked: "Do you have any way to defeat the Yan Yun army in front of you?"
Everyone was talking in low voices, and they all looked downcast. Li Qingxia couldn't help but feel angry when she saw everyone like this, but she suppressed it and didn't have an attack. The situation is critical now, and she can't let her emotions cause any internal discord. Li Qingxia
Colleagues saluted Li Qingxia and said: "Your Majesty, the Yanyun army is brave and good at fighting. It will be difficult to defeat it! I think we should defend the wall and not go out to fight!" Many civil servants nodded in agreement, saying that fighting with Yanyun in the field was simply a waste of time.
The only way to seek death is to cling to this path.
Li Qingxia frowned and remained silent. Li Zongdao saluted Li Qingxia and said, "Your Majesty, the general's view is different from that of the prime minister! As the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose, and offense is the best defense!" He paused.
He paused, "The Yanyun Army must also think that we don't dare to fight. Today they won another big victory, so they must despise us even more! We will take it by surprise and do the opposite. We will send troops to rob the camp tonight, and we will definitely succeed in the battle."
!”
Li Qingxia was very moved, but she still hesitated. Li Tongren said: "It cannot be said that what the Generalissimo said is unreasonable, but it is a very risky thing. If the Yanyun army is prepared, we will steal the chicken but lose it."
rice?"
Li Zongdao said angrily: "There is no way to fight without taking risks! If you are always afraid of failure, how can you win?" Then he said to Li Qingxia: "Your Majesty, this matter should be successful, please make your decision!"
Li Tongren said quickly: "Your Majesty, please don't be impulsive. Think before you act!" Li Qingxia glanced at the two humerus ministers, stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, and thought to herself: "What you two said makes sense.
! But I am more inclined to Prime Minister Zuo’s statement!" Li Tongren was overjoyed and said quickly: "Your Majesty is wise!" Li Zongdao was surprised and said urgently: "Your Majesty..."
Li Qingxia raised her right hand and interrupted Li Zongdao, "The strategy considered by the Generalissimo is naturally very clever! But Generalissimo, our opponent is Yang Gui, who is as famous as Yang Peng! For such a person, we must
There must not be any opportunistic thoughts, because whatever we can think of, he must also be able to think of, and the fact that he saw through the plan we carefully planned to lure you into the urn is proof!" Li Zongdao frowned and said nothing more.
Li Qingxia suddenly raised her voice and said loudly: "There is no way our army of 400,000 can defeat his 100,000 troops! Tomorrow, I will set up a majestic formation outside the city for a decisive battle with him!"
The civil servants were startled, but the military generals were greatly encouraged and shouted in unison: "Long live! Long live!!" After the meeting, Li Zongdao stayed alone, while the other civil and military officers left the hall, and the generals returned to their respective rooms.
In the military camp, the civilian officials returned to their temporary residence. Several civilian officials caught up with Li Tongren and said one after another: "Sir, please stay!" Li Tongren stopped, glanced at his colleagues, and asked with a smile: "Comrades, what do you want?
Something happened?" Several people looked sad, and one of them said: "Your Majesty will leave the city tomorrow for a decisive battle with Yan Yun's army. We all feel that this is very wrong!..." Several others nodded in agreement.
Li Tongren said: "In that case, why didn't you say anything to remonstrate just now?" The civil servant who just spoke said: "We originally wanted to remonstrate, but we saw that the Prime Minister did not speak, so it was hard to say anything! Prime Minister
Sir, why don't you advise His Majesty? Isn't it good to hold on to the city?"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
