Li Dingkun was feeling proud and was preparing to execute Ao Daochong in a hurry. Ao Daochong was frightened and angry and cursed endlessly. At this moment, a huge sound of fighting and roaring suddenly came from the direction of the south city gate.
Everyone in the hall was stunned. Li Dingkun frowned, looked at Yeli Yuqi, and asked: "Are there still rebels that have not been eliminated?" Yeli Yuqi said strangely: "They have been eliminated. This is
What's going on?" Then he said, "I'll go take a look, maybe the soldiers are robbing the people!" He said and ran out of the hall.
Everyone in the hall heard the sound of killing in the city getting louder and louder. At first, the sound of killing was only near the south city gate, but soon after, the sound of killing quickly spread to the city, and then spread in all directions.
At this moment, the whole city seemed to be drowned by the sound of killing! Everyone in the hall was shocked and confused, and they secretly guessed, but they had no clue.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps at the gate, and dozens of people including Ye Li Yuqi were seen running in. Li Dingkun, who was anxiously waiting for the news, even wanted to ask questions, but when he saw the faces of dozens of people,
The numerous scars and arrows stuck in their bodies made them frightened, but they forgot what they wanted to say.
Yeli Yuqi and others stumbled to Li Dingkun. Yeli Yuqi said with a panic face: "No, it's bad, it's Yan Yunjun!" As soon as everyone heard the word 'Yan Yunjun', they
It was as if they heard the devil's name. They were all horrified and their expressions changed. Li Dingkun shouted in disbelief: "This is impossible! Isn't Yanyun waiting for our surrender? Isn't Yanyun's army fighting against the Tubo army?"
A confrontation? Why did it suddenly appear here? This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Ye Liyu begged: "But, what the general encountered was indeed the Yanyun Army!" With a look of fear on his face, he said: "With such a sharp and fierce offensive, there is no other army besides the Yanyun Army.
, the last general led three thousand people to fight back, but in the blink of an eye only these dozens of people were killed! General, please think of a way!"
Li Dingkun was shocked and doubtful, then he frowned and asked: "How many enemy troops are there?" Ye Liyu swallowed, shook his head and said: "I don't know, it seems that there are enemy troops everywhere, endless!"
Li Dingkun was furious and shouted: "Nonsense!" Li Dingkun quickly lowered his head. Li Dingkun rushed to the generals around him and said: "Everyone go down and organize all departments to fight back! Anyone who dares to retreat will be dealt with according to military law!" The generals agreed in unison and ran away.
Go down. Li Dingkun stopped his trusted general Li Haohan: "Li Haohan, you stay!" Li Haohan stopped, turned around, bowed and asked, "What are your orders, general?" Li Dingkun walked up to him,
He warned: "Immediately lead your cavalry to the palace to protect the Queen Mother and His Majesty the Emperor as they retreat to Xuanhua Mansion! This matter is very important and cannot be lost!" Li Haohan agreed and ran down.
Li Dingkun glanced at Aodaochong who was gloating about his misfortune, and couldn't help but feel angry. He wanted to kill him with a knife, but he felt that this man might still be useful, so he gave up the plan to kill him for the time being and ordered his soldiers to take him with him.
Retreat to Xuanhua Mansion. Immediately, Li Dingkun ordered the three thousand iron kites in the palace to assemble, leave the palace, and rush to South Street where the killing was the loudest. At this time, the whole city was filled with killing sounds, and all the Xixia troops were fully counterattacking the invading enemy forces.
, while the invading enemy troops were bravely attacking and constantly expanding their results, and the whole city was boiling.
Li Dingkun personally commanded three thousand iron kites and rushed to South Street. He was shocked to see that his own army had been defeated like a mountain and was in rout. The enemy was chasing them one after another. Bodies piled up on the wide street, and the ditches were full of blood. Every one of our own soldiers was like a soldier.
The frightened bird, the wolf and the pig!
Li Dingkun was taken aback and shouted loudly: "Don't retreat! Hold on, hold on!" The panicked and defeated army ignored it and ran into the middle of the Iron Kites, causing the formation of the Iron Kites to become a bit chaotic.
Li Dingkun was so angry that he pulled out his scimitar and slashed wildly at the defeated soldiers passing by him. At the same time, he roared loudly, but the frightened soldiers did not care at all and just ran for their lives.
"General! The enemy is coming!" a general shouted urgently.
Li Dingkun stopped slashing at the defeated troops and looked forward. He suddenly saw thousands of enemy troops in heavy armor, like iron towers, surging up with swords flashing with cold light. Li Dingkun was startled, his eyes widened and he shouted
He said: "Mo Dao Army! Is it really Yan Yun Army!?" Even though he wanted to lead his army to retreat, the streets were slowly filled with defeated troops, making it impossible to retreat and even turning around was very difficult.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Li Dingkun became furious, raised his scimitar and shouted: "Brothers, we are the elite of Daxia, the invincible iron kites. We will definitely defeat the enemy. The time has come to kill the enemy and make contributions. Follow us.
I'm going to charge!" Tie Yaozi's morale was greatly boosted. He shouted and followed Li Dingkun towards Modao's army.
However, the streets were crowded with broken soldiers, and Tie Yaozi collided with the Mo Dao army before he could even gain speed. The Mo Dao army lined up in rows, and the light of their swords formed a wall of swords and rolled towards Tie Yao Zi, slashing upward.
The man was slashing his horse, and in the rain of blood, the man was on his back! The Mo Dao Army was originally the nemesis of the cavalry, but at this time, the Xixia Iron Kites failed to pick up the speed. The situation on the battlefield was completely one-sided, and the Mo Dao Army
Stepping on the broken corpses and bloody water, they continued to advance and slaughter the enemy troops. Their murderous aura was as strong as a rainbow, while the Iron Kites kept retreating and fell into a pool of blood. The morale of the army quickly began to waver.
Soon after, Tie Yaozi finally couldn't resist anymore and turned his horse's head one after another to escape. However, he and other soldiers and horses crowded together on the street and could not escape for a while. Mo Dao's army rushed forward, slashing and killing violently, and the people were miserable.
The screams and the neighing of war horses were heard, and the soldiers of the Xixia Army fell one by one, just like the seedlings harvested by the harvester. Seeing his companions being chopped down in a pool of blood, the Xixia Iron Harrier was so frightened that he couldn't care less.
Our own infantry blocked the road in front. They urged their horses to release their hooves and trampled on the bodies of their own infantry to run away. For a long time, the Xixia infantry were trampled down piece by piece by their own iron kites. Blood and flesh were everywhere on the streets, and screams and curses were heard.
The sound became one.
Seeing that the enemy army was completely defeated, Yang Peng immediately ordered the Modao Army to disperse to both sides, and the light cavalry pursued the remaining enemies. Hearing the order coming from behind, the Modao Army immediately flashed to both sides of the street, followed by thousands of light cavalry.
The cavalry crossed the Mo Dao Army and chased the fleeing enemy army. In a blink of an eye, they caught up with the last enemy army. After a heavy killing, countless corpses were lying on the ground. Those who were not dead were panicking and heading towards the streets in all directions.
Fleeing in the alley, Yan Yun's cavalry scattered in all directions to pursue the enemy.
Li Dingkun led nearly a thousand defeated troops and fled to the gate of the Regent's Palace. At this time, Epon led a dozen cavalrymen from an alley on one side and said with fear on his face: "General, my, my soldiers
The horses are all dead!" Li Dingkun's heart sank. He looked around and saw that the whole city was filled with killing sounds, like a huge furnace, so he quickly asked: "Where are the others?" Epan said anxiously: "
General Yeli Yuqi was defeated by Yanyun's brave general Yang Gui, and the remaining defeated generals had already escaped from the city! The other generals were not seen, but I think they are all in danger! General, take advantage of the West City Gate now
It hasn’t fallen yet, so leave quickly, otherwise it will be too late!”
Li Dingkun's heart was frightened, and he quickly galloped towards the west city gate. Seeing this, everyone quickly followed him. On the way, he suddenly encountered a Yanyun warrior who led a team of warriors to attack diagonally. The soldiers of the Xixia army were large.
Frightened, Li Dingkun hurriedly fought, and there was a melee between the two sides. Epang was challenged and killed by Yan Yun, while Li Dingkun relied on the protection of his heavy armored iron kite to break through the encirclement and fled.
Groups of Xixia armies were defeated, groups of troops fled out of the city, and groups of Yanyun warriors chased them out of the city. Although the sound of killing was loud inside the city, there were also sounds of killing outside the city, and even far away.
The wilderness spread rapidly.
The killings in the city gradually calmed down. The people of Xixia hid in their homes and peeked out from the cracks in the doors and windows. They saw heavy casualties among the Xixia soldiers. Groups of them became Yan Yun's prisoners, and groups of Yan Yun's fierce
The soldiers kept walking through the streets and alleys. The people of Xixia were extremely frightened, worried that Yan Yun's army would break in and kill them. Although it was already late at night, no one dared to sleep. The young woman hugged her
She sat on the bed with the baby in her arms, covering the baby's mouth tightly with her palms, for fear that the baby's crying would bring disaster to the family.
Time passed slowly, and all the people lived like years. Finally, the night passed, day came, and the morning rays of light illuminated Xiliang Fucheng.
At this time, the sound of gongs was heard on the street, and at the same time, someone shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, don't be afraid, the Yanyun Army is here to rescue you! Now we are all the people of Yanyun.
Civilian families will receive the ten acres of land rewarded by King Yan for free according to the standards of Yanyun people. Everyone, hurry up and register your name at the Yamen! If you encounter difficulties, you can ask Yanyun soldiers for help at the nearest place!..." Such words continued.
Repeatedly, the gongs sounded far and near, and the shouts came and went. It was obvious that many people were preaching Yan Yun's policies in the streets and alleys.
After hearing these words, the people's original fear could not help but fade away a lot. They looked outside through the cracks in the doors and windows, and were surprised to see that the streets that were still piled with corpses last night had become neat and tidy. If it weren't for the
If the blood stains had not been washed away, I would have thought that what I saw last night was just a nightmare.
The doors of the residences gradually opened, and more and more people appeared on the street. When the people saw that the Yanyun soldiers who passed by were very kind, their fear subsided by three points. As bold people arrived,
The yamen registered their names and obtained the land certificate to show off. The people finally fully believed in Yan Yunjun and rushed to the yamen one after another to register their names and receive the land certificate issued by Yan Yunjun. The dull atmosphere in Xiliang Mansion suddenly disappeared.
It was swept away and became lively.
When the people got the land contract, they were all happy. However, they soon became worried, because although the land in their hands was awarded to them by the King of Yan, it belonged to the party nobles. If the Yan Yun army retreated,
The Dangxiang nobles are making a comeback. Wouldn’t it be that the land they acquired will return to the hands of the Dangxiang nobles, and I’m afraid that they will have to live with it. Everyone can’t help but hope that Yan Yunjun can stay there forever, and the Dangxiang nobles will never be seen again.
not coming.
Yang Peng led his cavalry to pursue the enemy all the way to the west and to the north. The defeated troops of Xixia had no fighting spirit and fled without fighting. The Yanyun army pursued the remnants of the enemy across Rouge Mountain, and descended on Xieshan County without a fight. On the morning of the next day,
Arrive at the hills outside Xuanhua Prefecture. This Xuanhua Prefecture is three hundred miles northwest of Xiliang Prefecture. It is Zhangye County that was incorporated into the territory of China during the Western Han Dynasty. Xixia established Xuanhua Prefecture here and established the Gansu Military Division. It is the Hexi Corridor.
important choke point.
The morning sun illuminates the entire city of Xuanhua. Xuanhua is located on a green grassland. To the south is the majestic Qilian Mountains and to the north is the endless yellow sand Gobi. This beautiful grassland is like a gift from nature.
.At this time, there was a commotion in Xuanhua City. The four gates were already wide open and countless people were running out of the city gates. Suddenly, a fiery snake rose from a corner of the city, and the commotion in the city became even louder.
Seeing this scene, Yang Peng immediately said to the generals around him: "There is a change in the city. Break into the city immediately and follow me!" After saying that, he urged the black dragon colt to run towards the city first, and all the soldiers urged their horses to follow.
More than 20,000 warriors galloped away, raising smoke and dust all over the sky. From a distance, it looked like a huge torrent.
The people who had dragged their families and fled out of the city were just in shock when they suddenly saw a large group of powerful cavalry rushing towards them. They were frightened and ran away screaming. However, they soon discovered that these cavalry did not pay attention to them.
, but ran straight towards the city. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They stopped one after another and stopped to watch. They saw the cavalry pouring into the city gate, and then there were exclamations in the city, mixed with the huge horses rushing with iron hooves.
There was a noise. The people outside the city couldn't help but swallowed their saliva. Some people looked pale and said: "That, that seems to be the Yanyun Army!" An old man from the party said sadly: "The enemy is currently facing us, but our troops are killing each other.
, Hey! Our Daxia Kingdom, our Daxia Kingdom, how did we end up in this situation!"
The Yanyun army entered Xuanhua Fucheng effortlessly. At this time, the soldiers and horses loyal to Aodaochong were fighting with the soldiers and horses loyal to Li Dingkun. They were fighting inextricably. Facing the surprise attack of the Yanyun army, they were completely unprepared.
, were attacked by Yan Yun's war cavalry and fell apart one after another. The Yan Yun army occupied Xuanhua Fucheng in one go, and the remaining Xixia army fled the city in panic. Yang Peng guarded Xuanhua Mansion with three thousand war cavalry and took custody.
After being captured, he led the main cavalry out of the west gate and continued to pursue and defeat the enemy.
Yan Yun's cavalry chased them all the way, and the soldiers of the Xixia army were killed and their corpses were scattered all over the field. They ran for their lives, panicking like a bereaved dog, and anxious like a fish that slipped through the net. They felt that the grass and trees were all soldiers, and they did not dare to stop for a moment.
The Yanyun warriors chased them for a day and a night. When the sun rose from the east, they saw the outline of a city appearing on the western horizon in the distance. Yang Peng reined in the warhorse, and the 20,000 Yanyun warriors also stopped. Yang Peng
I heard a gasp from behind me, and I couldn't help but look back. I saw that all the soldiers behind me looked exhausted. Even the horses under them were panting heavily, and some horses were swaying.
They fell to their knees and some of the horses were foaming at the mouth.
Yang Peng frowned, knowing that the soldiers had reached their limit and had to rest and recuperate. However, Yang Peng did not intend to set up camp and said loudly: "Everyone, follow me slowly to the city!" All the soldiers agreed in unison.
, although they are all exhausted, their momentum is still strong.
Yang Peng led 20,000 warriors to the city of Suzhou, and immediately sent a general to shout: "People inside, listen, Xixia is over, quickly open the city and surrender, our Yanyun Army can guarantee the safety of your lives and property."
!”
Suzhou garrison general Li Xianqi was on the city wall at this time. He saw that although Yan Yun's army looked very tired, but their military appearance was serious and murderous, his courage was exhausted. He also heard what General Yan Yun said, and he couldn't help but think.
Kaicheng surrendered, but he was still hesitating. After all, it is not easy to give up dignity and surrender to the enemy, not to mention whether this surrender will be a way of life or death. A lieutenant next to him said: "General, we only have five thousand
It is impossible for soldiers and horses to withstand the fierce Yanyun army. Resistance will only lead to death! Furthermore, Daxia is already over. So many relatives of the emperor have surrendered to Yanyun. Why should we die for Daxia?
Ah!" Li Xianqi's heart moved.
Yang Peng immediately stood under the king's flag and looked at Suzhou, hoping that the Xixia army in Suzhou would be frightened by his own side and open the city to surrender. Otherwise, they would have to temporarily retire and then attack the city again.
The general Yan Yun at the bottom of the city shouted again: "The King of Yan led his army to conquer personally. If you resist, you will be shattered to pieces!" When Li Xianqi and others heard that King Yan was outside the city, they couldn't help being surprised and hurriedly called towards him.
Looking from a distance, he saw Yan Yun's king's flag. Li Xianqi couldn't help but swallowed. The deputy general next to him said: "General, general, King Yan is brave and unparalleled. We, we cannot be his opponents!" Li Xianqi hurriedly said
He said: "Hurry, open the city gate and come out with me!" Hearing this, the generals and officers around him couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. Everyone agreed in unison and ran down the city wall.
The city gate opened, and Li Xianqi led all five thousand defenders to rush out of the city. He then threw their weapons to the ground and knelt down one after another. Li Xianqi alone held the seal of Suzhou, rode his horse to the front of Yanyun's army, and reined in his horse.
, turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, held up the seal with both hands, and said loudly: "The guilty minister Li Xianqi led all the defenders of Suzhou to abandon the secret and surrender to the light! Please forgive me, King Yan!"
Yang Peng smiled and said loudly: "General Li is innocent and has meritorious service. He can stay in his original position. We will discuss his merits and reward him after the war." Li Xianqi was originally worried, worried that the other party would not treat him well, but now he heard that the other party was
In the presence of the officers and soldiers of both sides, he guaranteed his official position and promised to reward him according to his merits. He was really overjoyed with the good news from heaven. He quickly kowtowed and said: "General, thank you to the King of Yan. Long live the King of Yan! Long live the King of Yan!"
Hearing that King Yan allowed his general to stay in his original post, he was overjoyed. When he heard his general shouting long live, he couldn't help shouting: "Long live, long live, long live!!" Yang Peng is only the king of Yanyun, and in terms of title, he can only
He is said to be a thousand years old, but there are probably not many people in the world today who do not regard Yang Peng as the emperor.
The army marched into Suzhou, which fell without a fight. The Yanyun army had to stop. The long-distance attack for several days and nights had exhausted the Yanyun army officers and their horses, and they were no longer able to carry out another attack.
In the lobby of the Suzhou Government Office, Yang Peng sat high on the throne. Li Xianqi led his generals and Suzhou officials to formally pay a visit to Yang Peng. Everyone looked respectful.
Yang Peng said: "From now on, you are my military and political officials in Yanyun. You still need to worry about the affairs of Suzhou." Everyone was overjoyed and said in unison: "It is heaven for me to be able to become the subordinates of King Yan.
What a great blessing, my subordinates will definitely give it their all and die!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded.
Li Xianqi said: "To report to King Yan, I have a gift to give to King Yan." Then he turned to the outside and shouted: "Bring it up!" Yang Peng looked towards the door and saw several sergeants holding a man tied up with five flowers.
The man came in. The man was over sixty years old, with gray beard and hair. His clothes were tattered, but he naturally exuded a sense of nobility. His face was covered with filthy blood stains, his expression was very depressed, but his temperament was extraordinary. At first glance, he looked like that
A person who is accustomed to giving orders.
Several sergeants led him to the hall, pressed him hard on the back, and pushed him to his knees. Li Xianqi pointed at the man and said: "This man is the so-called regent of Xixia, O Daochong, his subordinate
Bring him and present him to King Yan."
Yang Peng and others were all surprised. Yang Peng looked at O Daochong and said, "I have heard of your name a long time ago, but I didn't expect to meet you under such circumstances!" Yang Peng said about O Daochong.
I still admire the series of methods Daochong has adopted during this period. Although this old guy's resourcefulness is not unparalleled in the world, it is definitely rare in the world. There are probably not many people in the world who can match him. Wodaochong
He sighed, frustrated and resentful at the same time: "It's a pity that the misfortune caused the Xiaoqiang to grow into elbows and armpits, and all the efforts have been made in vain!"
Yang Peng looked at Li Xianqi and praised: "General Li has done a good job. This is another great achievement!" Li Xianqi was overjoyed and said quickly: "This is all due to King Yan's powerful spirit. How dare my subordinates take credit!"
Yang Peng smiled, looked at Ao Daochong, and asked: "Prince Regent, how did you come to Suzhou?" Ao Daochong smiled bitterly and said: "Why should King Yan ridicule me? I don't look like anything like this.
Regent!" Yang Peng looked him over and said, "I'm also wondering, how did you, the regent, get to where you are now?" Odaochong sighed, feeling that Daxia had already reached this stage, and why?
Is there anything that cannot be said? So he said: "The timing of King Yan's attack was perfect. When King Yan launched a surprise attack on Xiliang Mansion, it happened to be the time when Li Dingkun and others rebelled, and I became their prisoner."
Yang Peng nodded and said: "I told you why there was a sound of killing in Xiliang Mansion before we launched the raid. That's why." He glanced at Aodaochong and said: "The subsequent civil strife in Xuanhua Mansion was probably caused by you.
Is it because Ao Daochong's cronies tried to rescue you and clashed with Li Dingkun's troops?" Ao Daochong nodded, sighed, and said self-deprecatingly: "Our own people were killed in a daze, but we were picked up by King Yan.
Got the peach!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
