Chapter 433: It’s hard to tell the truth from the false
When Musashio heard what Hiromichi Fujita said, he felt that it was indeed Mitsuhako Fujita's voice, and he became even more confused.
At this time, the general under the city wall raised his voice and said: "Those are the people sent by the Yan Yun Army, who want to disturb the morale of the army! The Yan Yun Army has noticed that we are coming, and a large force will definitely arrive soon. Open the door quickly."
Let us in at the city gate!" His tone was very anxious, but this is normal, because the Yanyun army has discovered their whereabouts. If they don't enter the city as soon as possible, once the Yanyun army arrives, even if they don't
If the entire army is wiped out, it will also suffer heavy losses.
At this time, the man was fleeing further and further, being chased by dozens of warriors. The voice kept coming, but it became increasingly unclear: "They are the Yanyun Army, don't open the city gate!...I am..." Behind
The sound was completely covered up by the rapid sound of horse hooves.
Although Fujita Hiromichi and others felt that the voice sounded like Fujita Mitsuhachi, they could not be sure. After all, the voices were similar, and the sound resemblance did not mean that it was that person; Fujita Hiromichi and others naturally recognized Fujita Mitsuhachi, but
Although the stars and moon were bright at the moment, it was night after all, so the vision was very blurry, and the person never got close to the city wall, so it was impossible to judge the other person's identity from his appearance.
Fujita Hiromichi and Musashio looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. The anxious voice of the general below the city came again: "What on earth are you doing? Do you believe that Yanyun spy! Do you have any idea about our identity?
Do you doubt it? Mr. Uesugi is here, and His Majesty the General has given you his command arrow. Do you still have any questions?"
Musashi felt that what he said made sense and looked at Fujita Hiromichi. Fujita Hiromichi frowned and said softly: "Don't be careless! If there is an accident, it would be a pity for you and me to die, but we can't explain it to the General and the Emperor.
It's over!" Musashio frowned and said angrily: "Then what do you think we should do? We can't just freeze like this!" Fujita Hiromichi felt that it was really difficult to make a decision.
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the west, which came from the direction of the Yanyun Military Camp. It was obvious that a large force had left the military camp. Fujita Hiromichi and Musashi Yu were startled and looked to the west.
The general at the bottom of the city shouted anxiously: "The Yanyun Army is here, open the city gate quickly! What on earth are you doing? Let us in quickly!" His tone was already very anxious and annoyed.
Musashio shouted to a senior samurai under his command: "Hurry and open the city gate!" The senior samurai agreed and ran down. However, Fujita Hiromichi shouted: "Don't move!" The senior samurai did not dare to leave immediately and looked at Musashio.
Musashi said angrily: "What are you still hesitating about? If the Yanyun Army arrives, it will be too late to do anything else!" Fujita Hiromichi's mind was in a mess and he frowned: "Let me think about it, let me think about it!
"Musashio snorted, "Think about it slowly!" Then he said to the senior samurai: "Go and open the city gate!"
Fujita Hiromichi was startled, took a step forward, and shouted: "I told you, don't move!" The senior samurai couldn't move forward or retreat, and he didn't know what to do. Musashio was furious, pointed at Fujita Hiromichi's nose and cursed: "I make the decision here.
"Don't be so wordy!" Hiromichi Fujita didn't care about offending Musashi at this moment. He stared at each other and yelled: "I am the Kaijing guard appointed by His Excellency the General. I have the final say in everything here!"
Seeing that Fujita Hiromichi dared to go against him, Musashi's face darkened, and his eyes showed a cold look. He had already made murderous intentions.
At this time, the general at the bottom of the city shouted again: "What are you doing? Open the city gate quickly!" All the Japanese soldiers also shouted.
Fujita Hiromichi suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned around and shouted to the city: "Your Excellency Uesugi, it was your birthday not long ago. I gave you a gift. What gift was it!" The general at the city wall said angrily: "The current situation is
Why are you talking about these irrelevant things in such a hurry?" Musashi Yuya said: "Now is not the time to talk about this!" Fujita Hiromichi ignored Musashi Xiong, stared at the bearded general who was standing among the soldiers, and said loudly
: "This is not an irrelevant matter. If you can answer it, I will believe that you are Lord Nobuo Uesugi. Otherwise, you are lying!"
I only heard the bearded general say: "What you gave me is a Han Chinese military book, "Wei Liao Zi". Are you satisfied?" Fujita Hiromichi couldn't help showing a look of surprise, and said excitedly: "It's really true.
Lord Uesugi!" Then he turned around and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!"
The senior samurai guarding the city gate heard Fujita Hiromichi's order and quickly ordered his ashigaru to open the city gate. The army from outside the city immediately poured into the city. Fujita Hiromichi and Musashio immediately came down from the city wall to greet them, and saw Nobuo Uesugi and Fujita.
Hiroshi bowed apologetically and said, "How offended I am! I really have no choice but to ask for your forgiveness!" Uesugi Nobuo was originally very annoyed, but he thought that the other party was just being cautious and did not mean to make things difficult for him. At this time, he saw that he was so sincere.
After apologizing, the anger in his heart disappeared, and he said: "My lord, you are just being cautious, there is no need to apologize!" Musashio glanced at Fujita Hiromichi and said angrily: "Sometimes, being too cautious can only lead to bad things!"
A moment later, all 20,000 Hell Dao soldiers entered the city gate, and the city gate slammed shut. Almost at the same time, a loud rumble came from the southwest corner of the city wall, like rolling thunder, and the earth was shaking. Fujita Hiromichi and others
They quickly climbed up the city wall and followed the sound, only to see tens of thousands of Yanyun troops running towards the city gate. Fujita Hiromichi and others could not help but feel fear, thinking that if the city gate was not opened in time, the Hell Dao army might have fallen into the enemy's trap.
The army is surrounded!
Yan Yun's army rushed to the north gate and saw that the enemy had entered the city and the gate was closed. Knowing that there was no chance, they retreated slowly.
When Yang Peng and others returned to the big tent, Yang Peng cursed angrily: "Damn it, why did the Japanese come back with reinforcements so quickly!" Then he thought that the opponent's troops were not many, with only 20,000 troops, and he felt that this army should be in the first place.
After receiving the report of the critical situation in Beijing, a forward force was sent out and marched southward via a small road for reinforcements, thus bypassing Guanyin's blockade.
At this time, a secret guard rushed in from outside, knelt down and said: "Master, my subordinate is back!"
Yang Peng turned around and glanced at him, "Get up." The secret guard stood up. Yang Peng walked up to him and said with a smile: "You did a good job, you almost killed the Japanese in the city."
The army was deceived!" When the secret guard heard Yang Peng's praise, he couldn't help showing a look of joy. Chen Xiao said with some regret: "It's a pity that people are not as good as God, and in the end they still fell short!"
Not long ago, Yang Peng suddenly received a report from a scout, saying that a Japanese army of 20,000 people suddenly appeared not far to the north of Kaijing City and was rushing towards Kaijing City at full speed. Yang Peng was very surprised, and after judging that his own troops could no longer intercept it,
After them, they immediately sent a secret guard named Li Kaigu to deliberately spread rumors outside the North City Gate to disrupt the enemy army. Li Kaigu was a hidden killing squad leader who had previously followed Wu Xing in Goryeo and was proficient in Goryeo and Japanese. Li Kaigu
After receiving the order, he immediately rode his horse to the north gate. At this time, the Japanese reinforcements had arrived at the bottom of the city and were about to enter the city. Li Kaigu then galloped toward the city gate and shouted: "They are the Yanyun Army. Don't let them go."
Open the city gate..." This really made the Japanese in the city panic. For a moment, they didn't dare to open the city gate and locked out all the Japanese troops who came for reinforcements. At the same time, Yang Peng's army came out of the camp and headed towards
Kill from here at the North City Gate.
Unfortunately, the success fell short. Fujita Hiromichi used a thing that no outsider knew about to test the authenticity of the Japanese army outside the city, and then opened the city gate and let the Japanese army into the city. When Yang Peng led the Yanyun army, they had already arrived.
late.
Hu Yanbixian said to Yang Peng: "Brother, although our army has rushed to produce many siege equipment, the enemy has also gained 20,000 new troops. Not only has the situation not changed, but it has become even more unfavorable to us!" Xiang Danian said: "
With the combat power of our army and so many siege equipment, we will definitely be able to capture Kaijing in a short time!"
Huyan Bixian glanced at Xiang Danian and said: "This is not certain. Judging from the previous storming of the city, it is really difficult to say whether the city can be captured in a short time!"
Yang Peng said: "Based on the current situation, it will be difficult to capture Kaijing within five days! And there is another problem. Since a reinforcement force has come from the path, I'm afraid there will be a second and third force coming from the path.
! The risk of continuing the attack is too great! Today's risks and benefits are no longer proportional. This deal is not worthwhile and there is no need to continue it!" Although the generals were a little unwilling, they knew that what King Yan said was correct.
There were hurried footsteps at the door, and a dusty secret guard ran in. Everyone recognized him at a glance. He was a secret guard following Ye Qi Guanyin. Everyone's minds were agitated, and they were worried about Ye Qi Guanyin.
Did something unexpected happen?
The secret guard rushed to Yang Peng, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "I came to report to the master on the order of the empress! Three Japanese main forces bypassed our army's blockade area and went straight from a path unknown to us.
Coming to Kaijing, please be careful, Master!"
When the generals saw that what Yang Peng had just predicted was about to come true, they couldn't help but show admiration. Yang Peng said to Yin Sha: "You rush back immediately and tell the princess not to stop the enemy and evacuate to Haizhou!" The secret guard!
He responded and ran down. Yang Peng glanced at the generals and ordered: "Send orders to all armies to break camp immediately and retreat to Haizhou!" All the generals agreed in unison.
Early the next morning, at dawn, Fujita Hiromichi, who couldn't sleep, climbed up the west city wall and looked towards the Yanyun Army barracks outside the city. He saw that the Yanyun Army barracks was quiet, and he couldn't help but feel strange. He thought that
It was the Yanyun Army who was playing some trick, and he immediately ordered the gates on all sides to be on guard. All the Japanese soldiers tensed up, waiting for the Yanyun Army to attack the city.
However, after waiting for most of the day, there was no movement. The Yanyun Army's military camp outside the city was still silent without a single figure. Fujita Hiromichi couldn't help but become suspicious, and immediately sent a scout to investigate at the risk of death. Soon after, the scout came back and reported: "Sir
, the Yanyun Army camp is already an empty camp, and all the Yanyun Army have disappeared." Fujita Hiromichi and others were greatly surprised, and Uesugi Nobuo said doubtfully: "Last night, the Yanyun Army was still very aggressive, why are they missing today?
Did you?" Fujita Hiromichi frowned and said, "They must have known that there was no hope of capturing Kaijing, so they chose to retreat overnight!"
At the same time, the Yanyun army led by Yang Peng had already walked half of the way and was less than a hundred miles away from Haizhou. The army was marching on the land destroyed by the war, and Goryeo people hiding in the surrounding mountains kept gathering.
Come, let's go to Haizhou together. When Yanyun's army returned to Haizhou, the size of the entire army exceeded 200,000, and most of them were Koreans who fled to Haizhou with Yanyun's army.
Wu Xing, who stayed behind in Haizhou, led everyone to greet him. After the two parties said hello, they entered Haizhou City together. This Haizhou City was a noisy and lively scene with a lot of people. Compared with other cities in Goryeo, it was really a different scene. , other places are silent hells with bones exposed in the wild, but this place is obviously a noisy human world, but the city is too small and there are too many people, making it very crowded and a bit chaotic.
Yang Peng and his party were walking on the road to the camp. Both sides of the small street were full of Korean people with curious faces. Some were pointing and some were talking in low voices. Yang Peng asked Wu Xingdao: "Is there any news about the princess?" Wu Xing said. Shaking his head, "I haven't received the message from the empress yet." Yang Peng couldn't help but become worried, frowning and said: "What happened? There was neither a message to Haizhou nor a message to me. It's been such a long time!" He turned around. He said to Wang Kai: "Immediately send a few secret guards to the north to inquire about the situation. If you find anything, report it immediately!" Wang Kai responded, and immediately turned to the two secret guards behind him to give the order. The two secret guards agreed and turned around. The horse's head ran out of the city gate again.
According to the plan previously formulated by Yang Peng and Ye Qi Guanyin, Yang Peng led the main infantry to attack Kaijing, while Ye Qi Guanyin and Zhan Jinguo led the light cavalry of the 2nd and 3rd legions as well as the Xuanjia Army to go north to block the main force of the Japanese army. Troops. The plan at that time was that Ye Qian Guanyin would lead half of the cavalry to block the pine forest directly south of Pyongyang in Xijing to prevent the main enemy force from driving directly to Haeju and then attack Kaijing, while Zhan Jinguo would lead the other half of the cavalry in the southeast of Pyongyang. In the direction of Xinxi, they blocked the enemy troops and directly rescued Kaijing. However, the plan could not keep up with the change. A Japanese army group quickly came south from a path between these two positions that Yanyun did not control and rushed to Kaijing. As a result, Yang Peng was The attempt to break through Kaijing in a short period of time finally came to naught, but Yeqi Guanyin and Zhan Jinguo, who were responsible for blocking the attack, had no news at this moment.
Time continued to pass, and new news came from all directions. The Zhanjin Kingdom's troops had returned, but there was still no news about Ye Qi Guanyin. Yang Peng was so anxious that he finally couldn't stay in the camp hall. Now, we have arrived on the city wall. Looking to the north, we can see endless mountains. My heart seems to have flown far away, and I am very worried about Ye Qi Guanyin’s situation at the moment. In Yang Peng’s opinion, although Ye Qi Guanyin is wise and brave, after all, With only 10,000 war cavalry in hand, facing hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, it’s hard to say whether something will happen.
A small dot suddenly appeared on the skyline in front of him. He quickly rushed towards this direction. It was a knight speeding towards him. Chen Xiao's heart moved, and he felt both expectation and worry.
Soon after, the knight rushed forward. It turned out to be one of the two secret guards sent by Yang Peng not long ago to find out the news. He flew into the city gate with stealth, then rushed to Yang Peng and reported urgently: "Master , the empress and her soldiers and horses were surrounded by the enemy in Shaliyuan!” Shaliyuan, the name of the place, is thirty or forty miles south of the pine forest.
When Yang Peng heard that Yedi Guanyin was under siege, he was startled and asked hurriedly: "How critical is the situation?"
The secret guard said: "Empress and nearly ten thousand soldiers were surrounded on a hill. They were surrounded by 200,000 Japanese troops and Korean surrendered troops. Empress and the others tried to break through several times but failed. However, several Japanese attacks The attack also failed." Yang Peng couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he heard that Ye Qian Guanyin was not in danger for the time being. He glanced at the secret guard and found that his body was covered with blood and scars, although he was not seriously injured. , but it was also shocking. He couldn't help but frown, and asked: "How did you get injured, and where are your companions?" The secret guard showed grief and anger on his face, and said: "As soon as the two subordinates contacted the empress, they We returned, but we were discovered by the Japanese troops at the foot of the mountain. The Japanese troops came to stop us with thousands of troops. Zhang Zhang died in the battle to cover my breakout!" Zhang Zhang was the name of another secret guard.
Yang Peng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go down and rest." The secret guard responded and retreated.
Yang Peng was extremely worried about the safety of Ye Qi Guanyin, and just wanted to fly to her side immediately. He immediately ordered people to summon Xiang Danian, Hu Yan Bixian, Wu Xing and others, and said: "I will personally lead the army north to meet the princess.
, Wu Xing, Hu Yan will show you to stay in Haizhou, Zhan Jin will lead his troops to the east to guard, and if the enemy is found to be attacking, they will contain them; Xiang Danian, Hu Yan Chijin, you follow me!" Everyone unite!
Make a promise.
Soon after, the gates of Haizhou City were opened wide, and 50,000 Yanyun troops left Haizhou City and marched at full speed towards Shaliyuan in the north.
The Japanese scouts who were lying in ambush on the road discovered the actions of Yan Yun's army, and immediately reported the news of the arrival of Yan Yun's reinforcements to Saji Shigeo. It turned out that Sa Shi Shigeo personally commanded an army of 200,000 and came south, trying to seize Haizhou in one fell swoop to cut off the enemy.
Yan Yun's army's retreat route. Sashi Shigeo received the urgent report from the scouts and immediately adjusted his deployment. He continued to besiege Wanyan Qingfeng's cavalry with only 30,000 troops and horses, while he personally led an army of 170,000 southward.
Yang Peng was worried about the safety of Yeqi Guanyin and led his army to rush north. The next morning, the army came to a hilly area only thirty miles away from Shaliyuan.
Suddenly, the sound of killing suddenly broke out all around, and countless Japanese swarmed up from all directions. The Yanyun Army was taken by surprise. However, the Yanyun Army was an elite division that had experienced battles for a long time. They remained calm in the face of danger and immediately followed Yang Peng's order.
They opened up their posture to fight. In the blink of an eye, the "tide" of Japanese people surged up and violently attacked the Yanyun Army's defense line. The two sides launched a bloody battle. There were scenes of killing all over the mountains and fields. The cold light reflected from the tips of long knives and spears was one after another, and there was blood.
Flying all over the sky, there were screams and roars. The Japanese attacked the Yanyun Army from all sides with three times more troops. They originally thought they could overwhelm the Yanyun Army in one fell swoop, but they did not expect that the Yanyun Army was extremely tenacious and resisted their own fierce attack!
As the saying goes, "One vigorous attack will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted." The Japanese's fierce attack failed to overwhelm Yan Yun's army, and their offensive and vigor gradually declined.
Seeing that the Japanese offensive was weakening, Yang Peng immediately led his army to launch a counterattack. Fifty thousand soldiers followed Yang Peng, Xiang Danian, and Huyan Chijin. They suddenly burst out with amazing energy, like a sudden huge wave pounced on the Japanese. They killed them every step of the way.
, the corpses were flying with blood, and the Yanyun soldiers roared like thunder, fighting forward among the enemy troops, like a sharp knife tearing the enemy troops apart! Seeing such a scene, Sasuro Shigeo couldn't help but be horrified,
Then they shouted urgently. Countless Japanese troops mobilized and constantly repaired the gap opened by the Yanyun army. The Japanese also tried their best to surround Yang Peng and the Yanyun army. The war entered a stalemate.
The two sides were fighting inextricably, and the wilderness was already littered with corpses.
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came, but the soldiers on both sides who were fighting did not care about other things at all. Sasuro Shigeo looked towards the north where the loud sound came, and saw countless warriors suddenly
Crossing a hill in the distance, something rushed like a tide, and I couldn't help but be shocked. Sasuro Shigeo couldn't care less about how the Yanyun cavalry escaped, and quickly ordered a group of troops to stop the enemy.
More than 20,000 Japanese soldiers were ordered to go north to block the cavalry force that suddenly appeared on the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, Yanyun's cavalry rushed into the Japanese army like a tide, trampling the Japanese with iron hooves and sending swords and horses flying all over the sky.
The Japanese soldiers fell down one after another in the rain of blood, just like sorghum in the strong wind, unable to withstand it at all.
Yan Yun's war cavalry rushed through the Japanese army in one go, and then fiercely crashed into the middle of the Japanese army that was besieging Yang Peng's troops! The iron hooves rushed forward among the crowd, and the long swords and horses attacked wildly. This
The Yanyun war cavalry tore open the dense Japanese encirclement like a hot knife cutting through butter. At the same time, the Yanyun infantry led by Yang Peng also rushed in this direction, constantly approaching the cavalry troops coming to support! Zuo
Shi Chengxiong roared at the top of his lungs, and the Japanese soldiers tried their best to stop him, but they couldn't stop him at all.
Finally, the Japanese army's encirclement was completely torn apart, and Yanyun's cavalry and Yanyun's infantry met on the battlefield. When Yang Peng and Yeqi Guanyin saw each other, they couldn't help showing excitement, and they didn't bother to speak.
He led the army in one go and rushed out of the Japanese encirclement and retreated to the south. The Japanese soldiers were very unwilling and roared behind them. Sasuro Shigeo felt extremely regretful and felt that Yang Peng's army was just about to be surrounded and annihilated, so he immediately ordered:
"Send the order, all armies should stop pursuing and withdraw!" The warrior next to him promised, took out a horn, ran to the hillside, and blew it toward the sky. The army surged towards the south like a tide.
They gradually stopped and turned to gather here.
Seeing that the Japanese had stopped chasing, Yan Yunjun slowed down slightly. Yang Peng reached out and held Ye Qi Guanyin's delicate hand, looking at her affectionately. When Ye Qi Guanyin saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel infinite in his heart.
Tenderly, he asked teasingly: "Are you worried to death?" Yang Peng rolled his eyes and said, "No! As soon as I heard the news that Guanyin was surrounded, my three souls and six souls seemed to fly out.
Outside the body! You really scared me!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
