While the defenders of Yanjing were actively preparing for war and preparing for the large-scale offensive of the Khitan army, on the sea east of Shandong, a few fishermen were driving small fishing boats to make a living on the sea as usual. One net after another was cast,
But they only caught some small fish and shrimps, and never caught any big fish. The fishermen couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. A young man said loudly: "Uncle, today must be a bad day, let's go back." The middle-aged fish leader took the lead.
He nodded and shouted: "Go home!" Everyone shouted, turning the oars and the rudder, and the fishing boat slid out of an arc on the water and headed west.
The helmsman inadvertently glanced back and saw many black spots appearing on the sea in the distance. The helmsman is a person who has been making a living at sea all year round. When he judged that there were many large ships heading this way, he couldn't help shouting.
He got up and said, "Look, why are there so many big ships coming from the east?"
Everyone turned to look, and sure enough they saw countless large ships covering the sea and approaching from a distance. The young man said: "What's so strange about this? They must be our navy!" Everyone felt that the young man was right and nodded one after another.
, so I didn’t pay much attention to it.
The speed of the warships was much faster than that of civilian ships such as fishing boats, so half an hour later, those warships caught up with the fishing boats. At this time, the two sides met only a few tens of meters away, and the fishermen suddenly discovered that these warships and them
The warships we often see look completely different, and the flags flying on those warships are not the two-winged flying tiger battle flag of the Yanyun Army. The sergeants on them all wear hat-like helmets and bamboo armor. This appearance is not only similar to that of the Yanyun Army.
The attire of the Yanyun navy army in black clothes and black scarves is completely different, and it is also very different from the Yanyun infantry army. Yubantou suddenly changed his expression and exclaimed: "No, they are not our army, they are Japanese!" All the fishermen shouted.
Hearing this, they were shocked and turned pale. They didn't even need to give orders to the fish, and they all rowed hard into the water.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud roar on the sea, and almost at the same time, a water column rose into the sky from the sea in front of the fishermen. The fishermen were frightened out of their wits, and they paddled desperately. At this time, there was a thunderous sound behind them.
There was a loud noise, and then the water column on the sea where the fishing boat was located shot up into the sky. A shell hit the fishing boat in the middle. The fishing boat immediately broke into two parts, and the fishermen on the boat fell into the water one after another.
The Japanese speedboat caught up and fired arrows at the fishermen who fell into the water. In an instant, several fishermen were shot dead on the sea, and their blood dyed the sea surface bright red.
The Japanese general standing on the flagship saw the fishing boat destroyed and the fishermen killed. He became excited and laughed. He turned to the generals around him and said: "We, the Yamato nation, have powerful gunboats, and the Yanyun navy will definitely be overwhelmed."
Attack!" All the generals couldn't help showing excitement. A young Japanese general said impatiently: "I really want to fight the Yanyun Army as soon as possible! I want to defeat the Yanyun Navy to wash away the previous shame!" The generals said
They all also showed a sense of impulsiveness. Previously, the Yanyun navy not only raided Mitsu Island and Tsushima Island, but also conducted several rounds of raids on several ports on Kyushu Island and Honshu Island. The Japanese suffered heavy losses. The Japanese were high and low,
In particular, the navy was resentful about this, seeing it as a great shame and humiliation, and eager for revenge. However, at that time, the Japanese crown prince tried his best to suppress the navy because his navy was not strong enough. This made everyone in the navy very dissatisfied. Today
The navy finally got the order to go out to Yanyun and come to destroy the Yanyun navy. Everyone was very ambitious and gearing up.
Standing on the flagship are the main generals of the Japanese navy. The commander of the navy is Shimazu Shigehao. This handsome guy in his fifties with a mustache is a fanatical democrat and a Japanese soldier.
The staunch supporter of the prince; the young general named Takahashi Sankichi, who was already a senior samurai at a young age, is now an important general in the navy, and is very famous in the Japanese country. Since his hometown is in Ganga
Mountain, hence the title of Okayama Warrior.
Shimazu Shigehao patted Takahashi Sankichi on the shoulder and said: "Takahashi-san, don't worry, we will see the Yanyun Navy soon!" Then he turned to ask the personal officer: "Did you see the signal?"
The guard officer immediately asked the lookout soldier standing on a high place, who replied: "I haven't seen the agreed signal yet!"
The fleet marched for almost an hour, and a small island appeared in front of you. Shimazu Shigehao recognized the uninhabited island and ordered the fleet to stop and wait for news. Later that day, a clipper suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and then typed
received the agreed signal. Shimazu Shigehao was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately ordered the clipper to be let in. The flagship signaled, and the clipper in the distance immediately sailed into the middle of the ship array. Since the flagship ordered the release, there were no warships.
To intercept it, it can reach the flagship unimpeded.
The clipper ship backed the flagship. The sailors on the flagship threw down the rope ladder. A man came out of the clipper ship and climbed up the rope ladder to the flagship. This was a short, skinny guy with bright eyes, wearing the clothes of a Han fisherman, walking quickly
Arriving in front of Shimazu Shigehao, he bowed: "I have met you, sir!"
"Okita-kun, you don't have to be polite. What's going on with the Yanyun Navy? Are they all in the Changdao Water Village?" The Changdao Water Village was originally the home base of Wang Hai's group of water pirates. After surrendering to Yanyun, the Changdao Water Village gained
After large-scale expansion, it is now the main base of the Yanyun Navy. Navy troops without missions will be stationed here.
Taro Okita said: "A group of sailors went south at the beginning of the year. I heard that they were escorting the caravan to the West. They have not come back yet. The other sailors are all in the Nagashima water village."
When Shimazu Shigehao and others heard this, their eyes lit up. Shimazu Shigehao asked: "Have the enemy made any moves? Have they discovered our actions?" Taro Okita shook his head and said: "No, they didn't make any changes."
Shimazu Shigego nodded solemnly, "Very good!" and then said regretfully: "It's a pity that we can't defeat them fairly and fairly!" Then he ordered the generals: "Send the order, attack Nagashima, and destroy the Yanyun navy in one go! Emperor
For ten thousand years, the prince will be for ten thousand years!" All the generals raised their arms and shouted: "The emperor for ten thousand years! The prince for ten thousand years!"
Immediately, the flagship sent an order, and the massive Japanese fleet headed towards Changdao, the base of the Yanyun Navy. The Japanese had secretly formed a navy for many years, and they had been waiting for this day to dominate the ocean in one battle.
The gaze turned back to Yanjing. Scout Yanyun entered the city of Yanjing at full speed, and then the scout appeared in the lobby of Prince Yan's Mansion, kneeling and reporting: "To inform King Yan, another 300,000 Khitan troops have entered Shunzhou!"
The generals under Yang Peng were all iron-blooded generals who rolled out of the dead. However, when they heard the scale of the Khitan army, they were still shocked. Li Xu frowned and said: "Once these three hundred thousand come, the enemy will
There are 600,000 people, so this battle will be difficult to fight!"
Yang Peng asked the scout: "How many infantry and how many cavalry does the enemy have in total?" "Reporting to King Yan, the specific situation is unknown. It is estimated that there are 300,000 cavalry, of which 100,000 seem to be Mongolian cavalry, and the other 300,000 are all infantry."
Yang Peng thought for a while and said to the scout: "Continue the investigation." The scout agreed and ran down.
Yang Peng stood up and walked to the giant sand table placed in the middle of the hall. He saw that the mountains, rivers, cities and towns on the sand table were completely a condensed version of the Sixteen States of Yanyun. Every detail was lifelike. The generals also
Walk to the sand table.
Ye Qi Guanyin said: "If I were to lead the Khitan army, it would be a waste if the 600,000-strong army only attacked Yanjing. We only need to siege Yanjing with 300,000 infantry and 300,000 cavalry."
Attack from all sides and capture cities and territories. Soon, only Yanjing City will be the only one left in the Sixteen Yanyun Prefectures!"
Yang Peng nodded and said: "I have expected this a long time ago, so I ordered all states and counties to evacuate to the south early!" He pointed at Yanjing and said: "As long as the Khitan army cannot capture Yanjing, even if it is captured
It doesn't matter if we have captured all the other prefectures, counties and cities. Our first priority now is to defend Yanjing, and we can give up everything else!" He raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said: "We have talked about how to defend many times.
Okay, I won't be verbose here. You all do your own thing. As long as we work together, we are not afraid of any enemy, and we will definitely be able to defend Yanjing!" After listening to Yang Peng's words, everyone couldn't help but feel.
Overflowing with boundless confidence, they clasped their fists together and agreed.
Yang Peng ordered Yang Jiumei to once again send an order to the states and counties: the people in the states and counties should move to the south immediately, and no property or materials should be left behind. The grain and grass materials that cannot be taken away should be hidden or burned on the spot. In short, nothing should be left to the Khitan people;
There is no need to rush to the rescue. It is a great achievement to do a good job in evacuation and transfer.
After the meeting, Yang Peng left Ye Qi Guanyin behind and asked: "How well are those militiamen trained?" Ye Qi Guanyin said: "They are better than before, but we can't have much expectations for them. These militiamen are better than before on the battlefield.
It's hard to say how much effect it will have. It may be able to turn the tide at a critical moment, but it may also cause trouble when the situation is still good and give the enemy an opportunity. Therefore, I suggest that you don't use it as a last resort.
These militiamen have been transferred to the battlefield." Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully, raised his head, and said with a smile: "You have to worry more about training the militiamen!"
Ye Qi Guanyin sighed and said: "Brother, I think it's better for you to find someone else to do this kind of thing." Yang Peng saw that she was a little uninterested and asked in confusion: "What happened?"
But Ye Qi Guanyin shook her head, "It's nothing."
Yang Peng said: "Something must have happened, tell the elder brother." Then his heart moved, and he frowned and asked: "Has anyone questioned your identity?" Ye Qi Guanyin said: "That's no wonder them, I am originally a Khitan.
Now those who come to attack Yanjing are also Khitans, so it is normal for them not to believe me!"
Yang Peng said angrily: "Who are these bastards who dare to be disrespectful to you?" Ye Qi Guanyin shook her head and said: "Not disrespectful." He glanced at Yang Peng and said mockingly: "No matter what I say, it's not disrespectful.
Princess Yan, how dare they disrespect me? They just have complaints behind their backs." He glanced at Yang Peng and said, "It's not easy for me to train the people's army. Let Xiao Feng do it. Khitan here
There are many people, and Xiao Feng is also a Khitan. He went to train the civilian army, and it can be said that he was like a fish in water."
Yang Peng felt that what Ye Guanyin said made sense, nodded, and looked at Ye Guanyin apologetically. Ye Guanyin said angrily: "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I will cry? I don't care about such a trivial matter.
I won't take it to heart!" Then he frowned and said worriedly: "I am only worried about whether I can withstand the fierce attack of the Khitan army!" He looked at Yang Peng and said seriously: "Brother, with all due respect, Yan Yun is the second
Although the legions are all elites who have fought many battles, and are brave and good at fighting, after all, the difference in strength is too great. I think there is a 90% chance of defeat in this battle, and there is no way we can hold on until reinforcements arrive!"
Yang Peng remained calm and nodded gently.
Ye Qi Guanyin continued: "Since it is very likely that we cannot save Yanjing, we need to prepare for the worst!" Yang Peng looked at Ye Qi Guanyin and asked: "What do you think we should plan?" Ye Qi Guanyin looked at
He glanced at Yang Peng and said: "First of all, the most important thing is that brother's safety must be guaranteed. Brother's safety is much more important than the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and more than two million people! Therefore, once the situation
In a critical situation, the eldest brother should not care about anything else. He must first break through the encirclement! As long as the eldest brother is fine, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures will be recovered sooner or later, so why worry about the gains and losses of one city and one place? On the contrary, if the eldest brother has three advantages and two disadvantages, it is not just Yanyun.
There is a disaster in Yunliu Prefecture, and the whole Yanyun will be overturned! Which is more serious, the elder brother is much smarter than the younger sister, so he can naturally see it clearly!"
Yang Peng frowned and nodded, and said: "If the situation really gets out of hand, I will naturally not lose the big for the small!" Ye Qi Guanyin smiled and said: "Actually, it is the city of Yanjing, my
It means that if Yanjing cannot be defended, Yanjing and the people of Yanjing should be handed over to the Khitans intact. Do not do any damage, and do not engage in urban street fighting to anger the Khitans!"
Yang Peng joked: "If you say this, I'm afraid many people will say you are a traitor."
Ye Qi Guanyin looked at Yang Peng and said angrily: "I don't care what others say, I only care about your opinion. Do you also think that I am a traitor?"
Yang Peng walked up to Ye Qi Guanyin, took her slender hands, and said softly: "Brother knows that you are planning for him." He pointed at Yan Jing on the sand table and said, "The reason why you want to do everything you can."
The purpose of preserving Yanjing as much as possible is simply to hope that when we regain Yanjing in the future, we can regain a prosperous city instead of a ruins!"
Ye Qi Guanyin's eyes showed tenderness, she raised her right fist and lightly hit Yang Peng's chest, and said softly: "You are worthy of being my man, and you finally didn't let me down!" Yang Peng couldn't help but say.
With a thought in her heart, she hugged her slender waist with both hands, and tightened, and the delicate body of Yeyi Guanyin was pressed tightly against Yang Peng's body. Yeyi Guanyin raised her head and gave Yang Peng an angry look.
"What do you want to do?" Yang Peng said with a smile: "What do you think I want to do?" Ye Qi Guanyin snorted, "You must want to do bad things!"
Yang Peng suddenly picked up Ye Qi Guanyin, and Ye Qi Guanyin was caught off guard and screamed in surprise, yelling angrily: "Put me down quickly!"
Yang Peng walked out of the hall from the back door and walked quickly towards the bedroom in the backyard. Ye Qi Guanyin thought that there are still many things to deal with now. How can you have such a leisurely life? At this thought, he couldn't help but get angry.
, struggled and shouted: "Put me down!..." Unexpectedly, the eldest brother actually buried his head and kissed his red lips. The screams stopped suddenly, and a wonderful feeling like an electric shock spread from his lips and tongue in an instant.
The whole body and consciousness become blurred, and the soul seems to fly into the clouds...
Shunzhou's capital army camped. Yeqihu City summoned the generals to discuss the marching strategy. Yeqihu City loudly said: "Our army is 600,000 strong, and even if all the enemy's troops return to reinforce, they will only number 100,000. This battle is sure to happen.
I have decided to personally command 300,000 infantry troops to attack Yanjing, and 300,000 cavalry troops to be divided into six groups and attack from all directions, sweeping the entire sixteen states of Yanyun in one go!" All the generals agreed in unison, with a rainbow-like momentum.
Later that day, Ye Qian Hucheng led an army of 300,000 troops from Shunzhou to the south, crossed the Wenyu River, and headed straight for Yanjing. At the same time, 300,000 war cavalry were divided into six teams and attacked from all sides, advancing furiously.
Like bloodthirsty wolves, they swallowed up cities and submerged villages. The entire Yanyun land was filled with smoke, and the Sixteenth State of Yanyun quickly fell.
Ye Qian Hucheng led 300,000 troops to the Yanjing City. They formed a large formation and shouted in unison. The beast-like roars rolled over the Yanjing City like rolling thunder. The soldiers of the Second Army faced an enemy six times their size.
, not afraid at all, unmoving, but the people in Yanjing City all had their hearts in their throats.
Yeqihu City immediately stood under the commander's flag and looked at the majestic giant city in front of him. A surge of heroism surged into his heart and he shouted: "Here comes someone!" A general immediately ran up and bowed.
Asked: "What is the king's order?" Ye Qian Hucheng pointed at Yanjing City and said: "Go and tell me that I want to see the eldest princess!" The general agreed and rushed away. When he came to the city gate, he stopped him.
Ma, raised his voice and shouted: "We, the Great Protector of the Liao Kingdom, want to see the eldest princess!" He shouted like this several times.
Yeqi Guanyin looked at Yang Peng, and Yang Peng also looked at Yeqi Guanyin, and saw a hint of pleading in her eyes. Yang Peng said: "Guanyin, you and Yeqi Hucheng have been separated for a long time, and you must have something to say.
Just go and see him."
Ye Qi Guanyin was deeply moved, and everyone else showed worries, but they couldn't express it.
Ye Qi Guanyin turned around and walked down the city gate tower. Immediately after the city gate opened and closed, Ye Qi Guanyin, wearing a black phoenix armor and a black cloak, rode out of the city gate alone. The Khitan army under the city gate was fighting.
The general immediately led Yeqi Guanyin towards Yeqihu City, and at this time Yeqihu City was galloping towards him.
In the blink of an eye, the two met between the armies of both sides and reined in their horses. When the brother and sister saw each other, they couldn't help but be filled with emotion, and the past came to mind like clouds and smoke. Ye Qihu Cheng said: "Little brother.
Sister, now we have restored stability in the Liao Kingdom, and the scourge of brother Ye Qianxiu has been eliminated. Come back, your Majesty and the Queen Mother will definitely not treat you badly!"
Yeqi Guanyin sighed and said: "Fifth brother, you know me best, there is no way I can go back!" Yeqi Hucheng frowned and asked angrily: "Are you going to help the Yanyun people deal with the Khitans?
Human? Don’t forget, you are a Khitan yourself!”
Ye Qi Guanyin said: "Since I left the Liao Kingdom and became my eldest brother's wife, I am no longer a Khitan. I am the Princess of Yan. I will fight for him in all directions! No matter who the opponent is, I will not be a subordinate.
Have mercy!" There was a helpless but determined tone in his tone.
Yeqi Hucheng stared at Yeqi Guanyin and asked: "Little sister, do you want to be my enemy?" Yeqi Guanyin showed pain and said: "Although I don't want to, it is inevitable! Brother, yes
Can’t stand it any longer!”
Ye Qianhucheng sighed, nodded, and said: "We Khitan people have a proverb, 'There is no turning back arrow when you shoot a bow.' It seems that you are the arrow that was shot out, and you will never look back!"
Yeqian Hucheng couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, but the determination in her heart was unswerving. She had already made up her mind that she would sacrifice everything for her eldest brother in this life. Suddenly she thought of her mother and asked with concern: "Brother,
Concubine, is she okay?"
Ye Qian Hucheng nodded and said: "I arranged for her to live in a palace outside Zhongjing City. She is doing well and living peacefully. She just thinks of you all the time. Little sister, for her sake, don't you do the same?
Don’t you want to come back?”
Yeqi Guanyin burst into tears and said: "Daughter, my daughter is unfilial and sorry for her mother-in-law. My daughter can only repay her kindness in the next life!" As soon as she said this, Yeqi Hucheng understood her intention.
, said nothing more. He raised his head and glanced at the gate tower of Yanjing, and said: "Yang Peng is a great hero, and he is indeed worthy of you! But this time he is probably doomed!" Ye Qi Guanyin
He said categorically: "Wherever he goes, I will go. If he dies, I will never live alone!"
Ye Qi Hucheng was shocked. He originally thought that this little girl only walked with Yang Peng because he was seeking refuge. However, at this moment, he discovered that her feelings for the King of Yan were so deep! Ye Qi Hucheng said:
"Little sister, please take care of yourself. After the war starts, the elder brother will not worry about you!" Ye Qi Guanyin said: "The same goes for the elder brother. On the battlefield, you and I are our own masters, and the younger sister will not do anything to you.
Show mercy!" Yeqi Hucheng laughed loudly and said loudly: "Okay, you are worthy of being my sister from Yeqi Hucheng. How many heroes in the world can have such courage! Little sister, let's say goodbye. On the battlefield
See you!" Yeqi Guanyin nodded, turned his horse's head and ran back to the city, Yeqi Hucheng also turned his horse's head and ran back to his army's formation.
Ye Qian Hucheng returned to the military formation, raised his right hand, and the trumpets sounded loudly. The Khitan army soldiers shouted one after another, like thunder and tsunami, and the momentum of the Khitan army was also in the process of shouting.
The army is getting stronger and stronger, which is really shocking. However, the soldiers of the Second Legion on the city wall are not moved at all, their expressions are cold and stern, as solid as a rock.
Yeqi Hucheng waved his hand forward, and hundreds of heavy catapults and more than a hundred cannons were pushed in front of the military formation. The reason why Yeqi Hucheng marched into Yanjing at this moment was not entirely to wait for backup supplies.
The main reason was to wait for these heavy siege weapons. Yeqi Hucheng knew that Yanjing City, which was under the control of the King of Yan himself, would not be easy to capture no matter how weak the troops were. It was only possible to attack the city with powerful weapons in hand.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
