Chapter 498: The war is raging,

A horn sounded on the city wall, and the soldiers who were originally guarding the city wall quickly withdrew. A Liao general raised a flag and shouted loudly. All Liao officers and soldiers immediately got busy, loading gunpowder and stone bullets for the artillery.

Load stones or fire oil cans on the catapult. Seeing that his soldiers were ready, the Liao general immediately pointed his flag forward and shouted: "Let go!" There was only a loud bang, bang, bang, bang, and the Khitan army formed.

There were fireworks in the sky, and at the same time, countless stones and burning kerosene jars flew into the sky toward the city wall.

There was a loud crackling sound, and the cannonball hit the city wall violently. Stone chips flew everywhere, and the earth shook. A cannonball hit the corner of the city gate tower, and that corner immediately collapsed. The huge noise caused by the cannonball had not passed, and the stones

, the fire oil jars fell like raindrops again, and the impact of the stones was enough to knock them down. However, the fire oil jars were very powerful. As soon as they landed on the city wall, they instantly ignited.

Huge noises came one after another on the city wall, and the Yanyun Army soldiers hid at the base of the wall, waiting quietly; while the people in the city heard the loud noises constantly coming from the city wall, and couldn't help but feel frightened and uneasy; however, being locked up in the city

The scholars in the cell were all restless and excited, as if they had taken drugs.

Catapults and artillery were bombarding, and Yeqianhu City was observing carefully. He was observing which part of the city wall was more fragile. He noticed that there were more fine lines on the left city wall, although those fine lines were not yet there.

As for the threat to the safety of the entire city wall, it obviously shows that that part of the city wall is relatively fragile. Yeqianhu City immediately ordered the catapults to stop bombarding, ordered all artillery to concentrate fire on that part of the city wall, and at the same time ordered 30,000 assault troops to attack from other locations

Carry out an onslaught.

The Khitan army's long-range attack suddenly stopped, and the loud rumbling noise gradually stopped. At the same time, the 30,000 Khitan army divided into three teams and surged towards the three selected city walls. The person responsible for keeping an eye on the enemy's situation

The sentry immediately raised a signal flag toward the city. More than ten thousand Yanyun troops who were waiting at the base of the wall immediately ran up the city wall along the many ladders of the city wall. Looking outside the city, they saw the tide of enemy troops approaching, and there was a roar like rolling thunder.

Echoes in the ears.

"Three-bow crossbows are ready, crossbows are ready, rolling stones and wood are ready!" Following Li Xu's shouts, all the soldiers got busy, loading three-bow crossbows and strong crossbows.

Seeing that the enemy was only a hundred steps away from the city wall, Li Xu shouted loudly: "Three-bow bed crossbows, shoot!" More than a hundred three-bow bed crossbows were fired immediately, and huge arrows roared out from the city wall and fell into the sky one after another.

Among the enemy troops, many enemies were knocked away. Immediately afterwards, violent explosions occurred one after another, and clouds of fireworks rose from the enemy troops. The remains of human bodies were lifted into the sky, and the Khitan army's charge gained momentum.

There was a pause, and then they rushed toward the city wall even faster. Boom, boom, boom...! An earth-shattering loud noise suddenly came. Almost at the same time, stone debris flew everywhere on a wall on the right side of the city gate tower, and the ground shook.

, Sergeant Yan Yun, who was standing on the city wall here, suddenly became unstable and staggered around. Some of them were shaken and fell from the city wall. Fortunately, there were not many Yan Yun soldiers on the city wall here, so the losses were not big.

.

The Khitan army's artillery fire came down in one round, and a lot of the city wall was peeled off. Then the second round of concentrated fire came, and the wall bricks kept falling, and there were fine lines on the wall.

Expand. At the same time, the Khitan army that assaulted the city wall had already rushed to the moat, and immediately covered it with shields, and at the same time began to fill the moat with soil. From time to time, strong arrows rained down from the city wall. Although the Khitan army prepared a large number of shields,

However, people continued to be shot down by the moat, and some even rolled into the river. In just a moment, many corpses were piled up beside the moat, and many corpses were floating in the moat. The Khitan people's river filling work was severely affected.

A great degree of restriction, but it has never stopped.

At this moment, the Khitan people's archery tower was slowly approaching the city wall, and they fired arrows at the city wall from a high position. Many Yanyun soldiers fell to the ground. Yanyun's powerful crossbows immediately turned to attack the enemy's archery tower, but the powerful arrows flew away.

In the past, most of them hit the baffle of the archery tower and did not cause much damage to the Khitan soldiers on it. Another wave of arrows flew down from the archery tower, and many Yanyun soldiers fell down after being hit by arrows.

.

Li Xu shouted: "All three crossbows, aim at the enemy's archery tower!"

The three-bow bed crossbows adjusted their firing angles one after another. In the process, the Khitan army crossbowmen on the archery tower were firing arrows at the city wall non-stop. The three-bow bed crossbows aimed at the archery tower and fired one after another, with the huge guns and arrows screaming.

Flying towards the Khitan Army's archery tower! There was a loud buzzing sound, and many spears and arrows were nailed to the archery tower. The Khitan troops on the archery tower only felt a vibration under their feet. They all looked down and saw that they were tied to the arrows.

The gunpowder bag was burning, and the fuse was burning. Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they screamed. At this moment, the fire flashed, and the violent explosions instantly deafened the ears; balls of flames bloomed in mid-air.

, each arrow tower was blown to pieces and collapsed. The Khitan soldiers on the arrow tower fell like raindrops from the sky, and screams and screams could be heard.



The fierce siege lasted for a whole day before it ended. The Khitan army spent a day filling up three moats, and at the same time used heavy artillery fire to shake one wall to the point of collapse.

Ye Qi Hucheng was sitting in the tent looking at the map with a thoughtful look on his face. At this moment, a huge killing sound suddenly came from outside. Ye Qi Hucheng raised his head, frowned, and immediately stood up and left the big tent.

Tent. Looking in the direction from where the killing sound came, I saw blazing fire and figures in the direction of the back camp where food and grass were stored, as if countless people were fighting. Ye Qi Hucheng smiled slightly, as if he had everything under control.

appearance.

Immediately, a general rode his horse forward, reined in the horse, stood up and reported: "Reporting to your Majesty, the enemy has indeed come to attack the camp. It has been surrounded by our army and is now in the process of annihilating the enemy!" Yeqi Tiger City!

He nodded and said: "Very good! How many enemies have come?" The general said: "About two thousand people." Ye Qi Hucheng frowned and said angrily: "Just two thousand people want to attack the camp.

?This is just looking for death! Yang Peng too underestimated me, the protector of the Liao Kingdom!" Then he said to the general: "Tell Long Ba, we must wipe out all these enemies!" The general promised.

, got on the horse, turned the horse's head, and galloped away.

Ye Qian Hucheng smiled coldly and said angrily: "Yang Peng, you are too arrogant!" He then fled towards the back camp, where there were still figures and figures shining with fire, and fierce sounds of fighting continued to be heard.

Yeqi Hucheng suddenly felt that the ground beneath his feet seemed to be shaking, and he couldn't help but froze. Then the vibration became more obvious, and the roar of rolling thunder could be heard in his ears. Yeqi Hucheng suddenly reacted and turned around suddenly towards the gate.

Looking around, I was shocked to see countless huge war cavalry in black clothes and black armor pouring out of the darkness outside the camp gate with murderous intent. I couldn't help being frightened, and couldn't help shouting: "Xuanjia Army!" Xuanjia Army, Yanyun's most elite army.

The troops, two thousand Xuanjia troops, arrived in Yanjing shortly after Yang Peng arrived in Yanjing. They had not been used before, in order to achieve a surprise effect at the most critical moment.

The Xuanjia Army warriors who rushed at the front were holding several logs with sharpened heads, and were thrown towards the closed camp gate by the high-speed speed of the horses. Several logs were seen hitting the camp gate one after another.

Above, the closed camp gate suddenly opened, and then two thousand black-armored warriors, led by Chen Xiao and Yang Zaixing, rushed into the camp gate and rushed straight towards the commander's tent in Yeqihu City. The Khitan army officers reacted.

, hurriedly came to resist, but once the Xuanjia Army charged, they were unstoppable. The Khitan Army infantry fell like wheat being harvested in front of the Xuanjia War Cavalry. Blood and flesh flew in the direction of the soldiers, and the Xuanjia War Cavalry

He darted through the Khitan army soldiers and rushed to the front of the tent.

Yang Peng rushed to Yeqi Hucheng first, and stabbed Yeqi Hucheng in the chest like a poisonous dragon with his hand. Yeqi Hucheng shouted, waved his mace to fend off the attacking Ma Qige, and then

He yelled and hit back, but Yang Peng turned sideways to avoid it.

At this moment, hundreds of soldiers from Yeqihu City rushed up. Yang Peng picked and killed several soldiers one after another. Yeqihu City rushed up on horseback and hit Yang Peng with a stick on the head. Yang Peng raised his weapon.

The iron horse spear and the mace hit the iron gun shaft heavily, and there was a loud bang, which shook Yang Peng's whole body. The power was really not small. There was excitement in Yang Peng's eyes.

Jin pushed away the opponent's mace, then moved his hands with both hands, and picked it up from the bottom towards Yeqihu City. Yeqihu City swung the mace away. After fighting like this for several rounds, the two sides still couldn't win.

burden.

At the same time, the Xuanjia Army had killed the soldiers of Yeqi Hucheng until their corpses were covered with blood and they retreated repeatedly. These soldiers of Yeqi Hucheng were also ruthless characters who were not afraid of death and were in such a disadvantageous situation.

, actually did not escape and were still fighting desperately. However, after all, their combat power was far inferior to that of the Xuanjia Army. Under the ruthless killing of the Xuanjia Army, they fell into a pool of blood one after another.

On the other side, Yang Peng and Yeqi Hucheng have been fighting for more than thirty rounds. Yang Peng is a little anxious and eager for success, but Yeqi Hucheng is getting braver and braver as they fight. The battle between the two is very fierce and it is difficult to solve the problem.

The sticks come and go, and it is extremely dangerous.

At this time, the surrounding Khitan army officers and soldiers had discovered the critical situation of the coach and were rushing here quickly. There was the light of torches in all directions, and the figures under the fire were endless and longing.

Yang Peng made several fierce attacks one after another. In desperation, he only attacked but did not defend. Every move was a life-threatening move. However, although Yelihu City was attacked in a panic and was surrounded by dangers, he was able to resist them without any danger.

Stopped. Yang Peng suddenly turned his horse's head and ran towards the camp gate. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Retreat!" The two thousand Xuanjia troops immediately broke away from the battle and ran towards the camp gate.

Seeing their own troops arriving one after another, Yeqi Hucheng was changing its offensive and defensive positions. How could they let Yang Peng, the king of Yan, go like this? He immediately shouted: "Don't let Yang Peng run away, chase me!" Shouting, he was the first to go to court.

Yang Peng chased after him, followed by all the soldiers, and the surrounding soldiers also chased after him.

Yang Peng was about to rush out of the camp gate. Yeqi Hucheng was very anxious and subconsciously urged his horses. What he thought was that as long as he entangled Yang Peng, thousands of troops and horses would surround him, and Yang Peng would

It’s impossible to escape with wings!

At this moment, he suddenly saw Yang Pengle turn to his horse. The horse neighed and stood up. Almost at the same time, he saw Yang Peng bending his bow and aiming an arrow at him. Ye Qi Hucheng suddenly thought of Yang Peng's terrible archery skills and was horrified.

, hurriedly reined in the horse, and the war horse neighed and the man stood up. At this moment, he heard a very sharp sound piercing the air. Yeqi Hucheng's heart trembled, and then he felt a stinging pain in his left chest, and he couldn't bear it.

He groaned, all the strength in his body disappeared in an instant, and his huge body fell off the horse with the mace on his back.

The surrounding Khitan army officers were shocked, some of them shouted and ran towards Yeqihu City, and more of them howled and rushed towards Yang Peng and the others. When Yang Peng saw the arrow falling from Yeqihu City, he felt happy and then

Seeing the enemy troops coming up like a tide, he knew that if he did not leave, he would not be able to escape, so he immediately turned his horse's head, led the Xuanjia army and rushed out of the camp gate, and drove away.

Seeing that they could not catch up, the Khitan army stopped chasing. At this time, the camp was in chaos, and the generals and soldiers of the Khitan army were scrambling to save Yeqihu City.

Yang Peng led Yan Yun's army and rushed into the city gate. Ye Qi Guanyin and Li Xu came to greet him immediately. They both looked relieved. Ye Qi Guanyin said angrily: "As a commander, you actually went to attack the camp. It's too bad."

What a mess!" Yang Peng chuckled and said, "Brother is wrong." Yedi Guanyin rolled her eyes at Yang Peng and said, "I said it wrong today, and you will do it again next time!" Yang Peng smiled.

, turned over and dismounted, and ordered the Xuanjia army to go down to rest. At this time, Wang Kai came up and took Yang Peng's black dragon colt down.

Yang Peng, Ye Qi Guanyin, and Li Xu walked side by side up the city wall and looked outside the city. They saw the fire in the Khitan military camp in the distance, like daylight, and the faint sound of chaotic shouts. Yang Peng frowned slightly and said:

"I wonder if this arrow killed him?" With the power of the Cloud-Piercing Bow, if it hit the chest at such a distance, generally no one would be able to escape. However, the situation was a little different at that time. The Cloud-Piercing Bow shot

The powerful arrow shot through the belly of the war horse first, and then shot into the chest of Yeqi Hucheng. As a general of the Liao Kingdom, Yeqi Hucheng wore heavy armor with excellent defense. After the arrow penetrated the war horse,

The power has been greatly weakened. It is difficult to say whether it can cause fatal damage to the heavily armored Yeqi Tiger City!

After hearing Yang Peng's words, Li Xu couldn't help but feel happy, and asked hurriedly: "Brother, are you talking about Yeqihu City?" Yang Peng nodded, looked at the Khitan military camp and said, "I shot him with an arrow.

He was hit in the chest, but I don't know if he was killed!" Li Xu said excitedly: "Brother's cloud-piercing bow is extremely powerful, it must have killed him! Great, once the enemy chieftain is gone, the enemy will be leaderless, and there will be chaos.

It will be difficult to form an effective offensive within a short period of time!" Ye Qi Guanyin looked at the Khitan army camp in the distance, frowning, and his eyes showed concern and sadness.

When Yang Peng saw the look on Ye Qi Guanyin's face, he didn't know what to say. He just felt helpless about the matter. Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "Have Ma Jin and the others come back?"

Ye Qi Guanyin shook her head and said, "Not yet." Yang Peng frowned and said, "No, I'm going to pick them up!" After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave. Ye Qi Guanyin immediately grabbed Yang Peng.

, pointing to the outside of the city: "Look, it should be them!"

Yang Peng turned around and looked outside the city, and saw dozens of horses galloping towards them. As they got closer, they could see clearly that they were indeed Ma Jin and the others. Yang Peng couldn't help but feel happy, and then frowned.

The city gate opened, and Ma Jin and others ran into the city gate. Then Ma Jin and others ran up the city wall to Yang Peng and worshiped: "I have met King Yan, and I have met the princess!"

Seeing that Ma Jin and others were covered in blood and bruises, Yang Peng couldn't help but sigh, stepped forward to help Ma Jin, and said to the others: "Everyone, get up." Everyone stood up. Yang Peng looked at Ma Jin with a determined expression.

, patted Ma Jin's shoulder heavily and said: "Thank you for your hard work!" Ma Jin shook his head and said: "It's nothing to do with the last general, it's just a pity for those two thousand soldiers!" Yang Peng turned and looked at the Khitan military camp outside the city.

, said: "Without their sacrifices, our two thousand mysterious warriors would not have been able to break into the main camp of the Khitan Army! Their sacrifices were not in vain!" Everyone nodded.

Earlier today, Yang Peng, Ye Qi Guanyin and others discussed strategies to defeat the enemy. Li Xu proposed to attack the camp at night. He believed that the enemy's strong troops would inevitably think that their own side would not dare to fight. A raid on the camp would definitely catch them off guard. Ma

Jin, Zhan Jinguo and others agreed, but Yeqi Guanyin said: "The eldest brother Yeqi Hucheng is a veteran general on the battlefield. Although he is a bit reckless, he has rich experience and his strategies are not simple. It is impossible not to be prepared for our sneak attack.

You will definitely be prepared!" As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. However, facing the current extremely unfavorable situation, sitting back and waiting for death is obviously not the way to stick to it. As the saying goes, "If you defend for a long time, you will lose." You must use surprise troops to win.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Yang Peng decided to attack the enemy camp at night, but he slightly modified the plan. The two thousand elite infantry of the Second Army led by Ma Jin made a sneak attack on the enemy's rear camp where they were storing grain, grass and baggage.

At the same time, Yang Peng personally commanded the Xuanjia Army to ambush outside the main camp. The two thousand elite infantry troops launched the attack first. If the enemy was unprepared and burned their food, grass and baggage in one fell swoop, the Khitan army would not be able to retreat if they did not want to.

. On the contrary, if the enemy is well prepared, the two thousand infantry will certainly be trapped in a tight encirclement, but the enemy's attention will inevitably be attracted, and then Yang Peng will have the opportunity to break the camp in one fell swoop! As expected, things developed like this.

Although the two thousand infantrymen who raided the rear camp were ambushed, they attracted the enemy's attention, creating favorable conditions for Yang Pengzhan and Jin Guo to lead the Xuanjia Army to break through the camp in one fell swoop. Two thousand Xuanjia soldiers broke through the camp and entered with iron hoofs.

Sweeping, unstoppable, Yeqihu City was hit by an arrow, whether it was alive or dead. This round of raids can be described as extremely beautiful! However, the current question is, is Yeqihu City dead?...

People in all the Khitan army camps were in panic. There were rumors that Yeqi Hucheng had been seriously injured and killed, and the commander was dead. Naturally, everyone was at a loss what to do.

The main generals came to the big tent one after another. Long Ba, who had just wiped out the Yan Yun army who attacked the rear camp, also hurried to the big tent, looking anxious and confused. He opened the tent curtain, but he didn't see the mourning hall as he imagined.

and the body of Ye Qi Hucheng lying in the middle, but he saw Ye Qi Hucheng sitting on the marching couch and drinking medicine, while the generals and an old medical officer were standing beside the bed. Long Ba was greatly surprised, and then he was overjoyed.

, stepped forward quickly and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you, you didn't...! General, I thought..." Then he said angrily: "Which bastard is spreading rumors? I will arrest him and cut him into pieces."

!”

After Ye Qian Hucheng finished drinking, he asked for the medicine bowl and handed it to the old medical officer. The old medical officer took the empty bowl, bowed and warned: "Although the king is not in danger of his life, he is still seriously injured. He must take good care of himself."

Recuperate and don’t act rashly!" Ye Qi Hucheng said impatiently: "You are so verbose! I have said this more than once!" The old medical officer said: "No matter how unhappy the king is, my servant must keep reminding him! If the king is

His body has three long and two shortcomings, and this little man cannot bear it!" Ye Qi Hucheng said: "Okay, okay, I understand everything you said, go down." The old medical officer saluted Ye Qi Hucheng again.

, retreated.

Yeqi Hucheng glanced at Long Ba, and smiled happily: "If this king were not born different from ordinary people, I would be dead now!" It turns out that Yeqi Hucheng's heart is in a different position from that of ordinary people, and ordinary people are the same.

He was leaning to the left, but he was leaning to the right. Therefore, although Yang Peng's arrow hit the left side of his heart, it did not hurt his heart. However, even so, the arrow in Yeqi Hucheng's chest was very painful.

It's okay. I fainted on the spot last night and it was definitely not a fake. Although there is no danger of life in Yeqi Hucheng, it is impossible to recover in a short time, let alone mount a horse to fight.

After hearing what Ye Qian Hucheng said, the generals all felt very lucky. They couldn't help but think that if the king's heart was on the left side like ordinary people, the consequences would be disastrous. This is really God's will.

Yeqianhu City said with lingering fear: "The King of Yan is unparalleled in bravery, I am no match for him!" The generals recalled the scene last night when Yang Peng and Zhan Jinguo led the Xuanjia Army to break the camp and enter the invincible, and they could not help but feel fearful.

Ye Qi Hucheng looked at Long Ba and asked: "Have you captured any prisoners?" Long Ba said angrily: "The Yan Yun army was stubborn. Although they were in desperate situations, they did not surrender and committed suicide!" Ye Qi Hu Cheng said

Cheng frowned and asked: "In other words, there is no prisoner captured?" Long Ba nodded shamefully. Ye Qi Hucheng lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said to the generals: "You know why I deliberately spread the news

Is there any news that I'm dead?" The generals were greatly surprised and looked at each other. They didn't know until now that the news about King Gao's death that was spreading in every camp was actually spread by King Gao intentionally.

Long Ba asked in confusion: "Why would your Majesty spread such unlucky words?" His question was also the question of all the generals, and they all looked towards Yeqi Tiger City.

Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and said: "Yang Peng is extremely brave and cunning as a fox. If we don't use some means, even if we break through Yanjing City, our army will suffer heavy losses. What happened yesterday, I can just give Yang Peng a way to fake his death."

Plan." When the generals heard this, they all understood, and they couldn't help but sincerely admire Ye Qi Hucheng.

What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
