Chapter 499: Taking advantage of the situation

A general named Zheng Shilong exclaimed: "The king's strategy is so brilliant! In this way, the enemy must have thought they had an opportunity and went out in full force. At that time, the king laid a dragnet and waited for them to fall into the trap before attacking from all sides.

, wiped them out in one fell swoop! After annihilating the main force of Yan Yun, things will be easier to handle after that! This strategy is so clever, so clever, even the legendary Zhuge Kongming couldn't come up with such a clever strategy!" Immediately

He paid his respects to Yeqianhu City and said with great admiration: "Your Majesty is unparalleled in resourcefulness, Yanjing is about to fall, and Yang Peng will surely capture him without mercy!"

All the generals glanced at Zheng Shilong and secretly scolded him for being shameless, but on their faces they had to agree with his words. Ye Qi Hucheng was very happy. Although he did not think these words were true, he felt that these words were very auspicious and good luck.

He glanced at the generals and said: "You are going to start handling my funeral. You have to do it as if it were true. You have to keep it secret from everyone except you. In addition, you have to ambush on all sides and wait.

Yan Yun has thrown himself into a trap!" All the generals agreed in unison...

The scouts discovered a funeral being held in the Khitan army camp and immediately reported the situation to Yang Peng and others. Li Xu said excitedly: "This is a great opportunity! The enemy's commander is dead and the group is leaderless. The army must be in chaos and be at a loss what to do!"

He raised his fist towards Yang Peng and said excitedly: "When our army comes out in full force, we will definitely defeat them in one fell swoop!"

Generals such as Ma Jin and Zhan Jinguo all agreed, believing that now was a good time to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Yang Peng did not express his position immediately. He looked at Ye Qi Guanyin, but saw tears in Ye Qi Guanyin's eyes, looking extremely sad. Yang Peng sighed in his heart, and stopped asking her questions, and turned to look at Yang Jiumei.

, asked: "Master Yang, what do you think?" In front of outsiders, Yang Peng called Yang Jiumei Master Yang, while Yang Jiumei called Yang Peng King of Yan, which was naturally not the case in private.

Yang Jiumei said: "If Yeqi Hucheng is really dead, it will be a great opportunity to defeat the enemy! However, judging from the performance of Yeqi Hucheng last night, Yeqi Hucheng is definitely not a fool.

He is a very resourceful person. I am worried that this could be a trap carefully laid by Yeli Hucheng?" Everyone's hearts trembled, and Zhan Jinguo said: "It shouldn't be possible! I saw clearly last night that the eldest brother was wearing

The sharp arrow shot by the cloud bow hit the heart of Yeqi Hucheng. Yeqi Hucheng fell from his horse on the spot, and the scene was a mess! Although we were not able to check the body of Yeqi Hucheng, the power of the cloud-piercing bow is so close.

Not to mention people, not even a big buffalo can survive the distance!"

Yeqi Hanyu looked at Yang Peng, and Yang Peng thought: "Under normal circumstances, under that arrow, Yeqi Hucheng should not survive." The implication is that he naturally believes that Yeqi Hucheng is real.

died.

Li Xu said: "Brother, since we have determined that Yeqi Hucheng is dead, we should attack immediately. Otherwise, if the Khitans elect a temporary commander to stabilize the morale of the army, we will miss a good opportunity!" All the generals agreed. Yang Pengshen

He nodded in agreement and glanced at the generals, "Generals, listen to the order and prepare to attack tonight!" The generals agreed in unison, and then hurriedly left the hall to prepare.

Ye Qi Guanyin said: "Brother, I'm a little uncomfortable." Then he turned around and left the hall from behind the screen behind Yang Peng.

Yang Peng knew that she was sad for Yeqian Hucheng, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Yang Jiumei sighed: "It is really commendable that Princess Yelu can kill her relatives with justice!" Yang Peng sighed and said, "I feel sorry for her in this matter!"

He shook his head and said, "Don't talk about this anymore!" He glanced at Yang Jiumei and asked with a smile: "Jiumei, why are you staying here?" A blush appeared on Yang Jiumei's pretty face, and she seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She was full of affection, Yang Peng

Seeing her like this, my heart skipped a beat.

Yang Jiumei suddenly looked serious and said, "Have you really thought about the attack?"

Yang Peng nodded, stood up, walked to His Highness, looked at the sky outside the palace, and said: "I have thought about it carefully from beginning to end. In that situation, no one can survive. Yelihu City should have been destroyed."

There should be no doubt that he is dead." He turned to look at Yang Jiumei and said, "Now is a great time to take advantage of the opportunity to counterattack and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" Yang Jiumei frowned and said, "You are right." She raised her head and glanced at Yang Peng.

, said, "But, I always feel a little uneasy, wondering if this is a trap deliberately set by Yeli Hucheng!"

Yang Peng said with a smile: "He is a human being, not a ghost, nor a god, but he can't come and set a trap for me after he dies!" Yang Jiumei couldn't help but smile when she heard what Yang Peng said was interesting.

, and then showed a worried look. She could never let go of this matter. Yang Peng walked up to Yang Jiumei, held Yang Jiumei's delicate hand, smiled and said softly: "You are worried about me, that's why you are so worried.

Ning!"

Yang Jiumei thought that this might be the reason. She sighed resentfully and glanced at Yang Peng. Yang Peng's heart palpitated and she said softly: "Jiumei, why don't you come and live in the palace? We will never be separated!"

Yang Jiumei looked at Yang Peng affectionately, but gently pushed him away, turned sideways, and said quietly: "I don't want to be the canary locked in a cage by you!..." She turned around and looked at him affectionately.

Looking at Yang Peng, she couldn't help but stretched out her slender hand to touch Yang Peng's cheek, and said tenderly: "I don't ask for anything else, I just want to see you often and I will be satisfied!" After all, Yang Jiumei is not one of those young people who are new to love.

For a girl, she doesn't ask for eternity, as long as she once had it.

Yang Peng took Yang Jiumei's slender hand, put it to his mouth, kissed her, and then hugged her into his arms. Yang Jiumei lay in Yang Peng's arms, with a look of great happiness in her beautiful eyes. Suddenly she remembered what was happening in front of her,

The tenderness in his heart quickly faded, and he quickly raised his head and said: "King Yan, I think you should carefully consider the attack! That Zhuge Wuhou achieved such great achievements because of his caution.

!”

Yang Peng nodded with a smile and said: "Zhuge has always been cautious in his life! In fact, Zhuge Liang is more suitable for internal affairs rather than conquest. Although he is an unparalleled talent, he was too cautious in conquests and made several mistakes.

This is a good opportunity to defeat Cao Wei and Zhongxing Han! You must know that nothing is certain on the battlefield. If you have to wait until you are absolutely sure before taking action, I am afraid that the day lily will be cold! It can be seen that being too cautious is not the same!" Yang Jiumei sighed,

He rolled his eyes at Yang Peng and said angrily: "I can't convince you anyway!"

Yang Peng smiled slightly and said softly: "Don't worry. Although we can't say that we will win this battle, it is still a sure thing. There will be no surprises!" Yang Jiumei nodded and said: "I hope so!" Yang Peng said.

"When this battle is over, I will take you to the seaside for a few days. Do you agree?" Yang Jiumei said happily: "This is what you said, don't default on it then!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "

How dare I keep my words in front of my sister!" Yang Jiumei said charmingly: "If you don't keep your words, my sister will not forgive you!" The two of them laughed at the same time.

Yang Peng suddenly thought of Yeqi Guanyin. She must be sad about the death of Yeqi Hucheng. Thinking of this, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel sad and said to Yang Jiumei: "Jiumei, I'm going to see Guanyin." Yang Jiumei clicked.

He nodded and said: "I will go back to the government office to prepare for your attack. I have to be prepared in all aspects!" Yang Peng said: "Thank you, Jiumei!" Yang Jiumei rolled her eyes at Yang Peng and said angrily: "You are still like this with your sister.

You're so polite, you really deserve a beating!" After saying that, he gave a false punch with his fist, and both of them couldn't help but laugh. Yang Jiumei turned around and left. Yang Peng turned around the screen and walked out of the hall from the back. He learned from the Fei Feng female guard.

Knowing the location of Ye Qi Guanyin, I walked quickly...

As night fell, two hundred thousand Khitan troops spread quietly around the camp, forming a huge pocket, waiting for the Yanyun army to appear. At the same time, in the Khitan army camp, white curtains fluttered

scene.

Long Ba led 50,000 soldiers and horses to hide in the area closest to the city gate. His mission was to cut off the enemy's retreat in one fell swoop after the enemy came out. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the city gate in the distance, but there was no movement.

One of the generals couldn't help but become anxious and whispered: "General, did the enemy notice something and won't come out?" Long Ba was also very anxious. After hearing the general's words, he shouted angrily: "Shut up, time."

It’s still early, why are you in a hurry!”

About two-quarters of an hour later, footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the city gate in the distance. Long Ba and the others, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately became energetic. Then they saw the city gate open and many people rushing out of the city gate.

When they came out, the other party didn't light a torch, so they couldn't see clearly. Through the dim light of the stars and moon, they could only see the shadows of people, as if there were countless people and horses.

Long Ba and others became excited, and a general couldn't help shouting in a low voice: "Here we come!" Long Ba immediately ordered in a low voice: "Send the order and prepare to fight!" All the generals agreed one after another and passed the words on in a low voice.

Ba turned his head and looked in the direction of the camp, waiting for the signal to appear. According to Wanyan Gao's previous arrangement, once the Yanyun Army attacked the main camp, the main camp would hang three red lanterns. That was the signal for a full-scale attack.

The ambush army must attack immediately upon seeing the signal and encircle Yanyun's army according to the previous deployment. If no signal is seen, no one must act rashly under any circumstances, otherwise military law will be dealt with.

The soldiers of Long Ba's group, as well as the Khitan army soldiers who were ambushing elsewhere, were all looking at the military camp, waiting anxiously, and the time passed by with difficulty.

Suddenly, there was a huge shout from the military camp, mixed with loud noises, and flames shot into the sky. The Yanyun Army finally launched an attack! Almost at the same time, three red lanterns rose up in the main camp.

, particularly eye-catching in the night sky!

As soon as the Liao army ambushing in all directions saw the signal, they immediately rushed out according to the predetermined plan, either besieging the enemy or cutting off the retreat. The armies rushed to the camp one after another, but there was nothing in front of them, let alone the Yanyun army.

, there was not even half a shadow of a ghost. The Khitan army officers and soldiers looked at each other, and they were at a loss for a moment. At this moment, a Khitan army general led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and rushed out of the camp gate. He only saw his own soldiers and horses, but

Not seeing the enemy army, he was also stunned. Long Ba asked angrily: "Barun, where is the Yan Yun army?"

Barron said with a puzzled look on his face: "Just now, you were attacking the camp gate just now! Why, why did you disappear all of a sudden?"

At this moment, fierce fighting sounds suddenly came from the northwest corner of the city. The generals were startled. Barron asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why is there a fighting over there?" Long Ba thought for a while and said loudly:

"The situation has changed, let's go and have a look together!" the generals agreed in unison. Then the generals led their armies and rushed towards the corner of the city where the sound of killing came. At this time, all the armies were set on fire.

Torches, the brilliance of torches illuminates the night sky like daylight.

Before they arrived at the place, the sound of fighting gradually fell silent. When each army arrived at the place, they saw one of their own troops scattered in disorder in the wilderness. They all looked frightened. There were many people lying on the ground.

There were corpses, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Long Ba saw the leader of this army, Zheng Shilong, and asked: "What's going on?"

Zheng Shilong looked shocked, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Just now, I saw the signal in the camp, so I led my army to besiege according to the previous arrangement, but I didn't want to, but I didn't want to suddenly encounter Yanyun's army.

They are coming towards us! Our army was caught off guard, and they rushed into chaos in an instant. Then the Yanyun army rushed towards the west gate!" The generals looked at each other in confusion, and they couldn't understand what was going on? Wasn't the Yanyun army?

Did you come to sneak attack the camp? Why did you suddenly turn around and rush back to the city through the west city gate? Could it be that one of the troops leaked the information in advance, and the Yanyun Army realized that the situation was not good, so they temporarily changed their plan and suddenly turned back to the city? But

Even so, they shouldn't have time to retreat. What's more, hundreds of thousands of troops didn't see half of the enemy army before they rushed to the camp. What's going on?

The generals couldn't figure it out, but the plan was ruined at this time, and it was useless to think about it. They could only retreat temporarily. Long Ba said in a loud voice: "Let's go back first!"

The generals nodded, and each Khitan army withdrew to the main camp. The generals hurriedly came to the big tent. At this time, Ye Qihu Cheng was lying on the marching collapse and watching the progress of the war. He heard the sound of killing in the distance just now.

The sound came for a while and then disappeared. After that, although there were constant sounds of chaos outside, there was still no sound of the battle as expected. I couldn't help but feel surprised and uncertain. At this moment, I saw the generals coming in and asked anxiously: "What's going on?

Why didn’t I hear the sound of the battle?”

The generals looked at each other, and Long Ba briefly explained what had just happened. Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and murmured: "What's going on? Is this what's going on?" After thinking about it, he kept thinking.

Can't think of a reason why.

At the same time, Yang Peng, who returned to the city, felt extremely lucky and said to Yang Jiumei: "Thanks to your reminder, otherwise our army would have suffered huge losses this time!" It turned out that although Yang Peng insisted on going out in full force,

They raided the enemy camp, but because of Yang Jiumei's reminder, they had an extra thought. Yang Peng ordered the Xuanjia War Cavalry to be the vanguard, and he himself led the main army to follow up. Before and after the Xuanjia War Cavalry arrived at the enemy camp, he deliberately created a great momentum to alert

The enemy. The reason why Yang Peng ordered the Xuanjia War Cavalry to do this is that if the enemy is not prepared, alerting the enemy at this moment will not have much adverse impact on the attack. If the enemy is prepared, the enemy will be alerted.

There was a high probability that Xingzang would be exposed. Yang Peng and others originally thought that there could be no ambush by the enemy, but they did not expect that with the Xuanjia Army making a noise, three red lanterns would actually rise in the enemy camp.

At the same time, there were sudden sounds of killing from all directions. This was obviously an ambush situation.

Yang Peng was shocked and immediately led his army to turn around, broke through the enemy's encirclement from the northwest, and retreated into the city. Because at this time, the main force of Yanyun led by Yang Peng was still quite far away from the Liao camp and was not in Khitan.

In the tightest encirclement of the army, and because the Khitan army did not expect that the Yanyun army would suddenly turn around and break out at this time, the Yanyun army was caught off guard. Therefore, the main force of the Yanyun army was able to successfully break through the enemy's encirclement and retreat.

Entering the city. The Xuanjia army in front of them, who were luring the enemy, relied on their speed advantage to rush out from the gap between the enemy armies before they could encircle them. These Xuanjia warriors were as fast as lightning, and the Khitan army's troops unexpectedly

I didn't find out how they were evacuated.

Yang Jiumei said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, you have been more vigilant, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

Yang Peng nodded, glanced at Yeqi Guanyin, and saw the joyful expression in the eyes of the originally sad Yeqi Guanyin, and couldn't help but feel happy for her. Yeqi Guanyin originally thought that his eldest brother Yeqi Hucheng was dead,

I was very sad in my heart. At this moment, I saw that the Khitan army had set up a large formation to ambush from all sides, and I knew that my elder brother was fine. He was using a trick of cheating death to lure him into the trap. Yeqi Hucheng was not dead, and Yeqi Guanyin naturally

Overjoyed.

Yang Peng and others climbed up the city wall and looked out of the city. The Khitan military camp in the distance was brightly lit, with longing figures under the lights, and noisy sounds kept coming.

Yang Peng glanced at Ye Qi Guanyin and said, "Guanyin, your big brother is really not simple. I almost fell into his hands!"

Ye Qi Guanyin smiled and said: "The elder brother is naturally powerful, but after all, he is still a little inferior to the elder brother." Yang Peng laughed, looked at the Khitan army camp outside the city, and said: "This move of the Khitan army is useless. Tomorrow

We will definitely attack the city with all our strength! The real fierce battle is about to begin!" Everyone's mood could not help but become solemn. The generals were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that even if they died, they would not be able to defend the city. The current situation was extremely dangerous, with three enemy armies.

One hundred thousand people besieged Yanjing, and there were a large number of catapults and cannons. Under such circumstances, it was hard to say how long Yanjing could defend it.

Yang Peng saw the expressions of the generals and knew what they were thinking, and said calmly: "Don't think about whether you can hold it or not, just do your best! Together with you, I will do my best to defend Yanjing!" The generals listened.

After hearing these words, I felt that the huge pressure on my heart suddenly eased a lot, and my confidence in defending Yanjing also increased a bit.

Yang Peng turned his head and glanced at the Khitan army camp, and said with a relaxed expression: "It's getting late. Those who don't have missions should go down and rest. Those who have missions should be careful." All the generals agreed in unison.

In the Khitan army's tent, Ye Qihu Cheng said with a ruthless face: "Damn it, I won't play these bullshit tricks with you anymore. I will start an all-out attack tomorrow! I don't believe it. There are 300,000 troops and more than 100 seats.

The artillery will not be able to attack it!" The generals couldn't help but get excited, and Long Ba said loudly: "With our army's full strength to attack the city, we will be able to break through Yanjing City within five days!" The generals all agreed with Long Ba's words.

This is not an exaggeration. Based on the current strength comparison between the two sides, although the Yanyun Army is strong, no matter how strong it is, it can only defeat one against two. However, the strength of the Khitan Army is five times that of the Yanyun Army! In fact, this

In a battle under such circumstances, unless the Khitan army made a major mistake, it would be difficult to lose.

Ye Qianhu City said to the generals: "Immediately inform the entire army that I am fine. Everyone should be prepared to attack Yanjing City tomorrow!" All the generals agreed in unison.

At this moment, a well-worn herald rushed into the tent, knelt down to Yeqianhu City and said: "Your Majesty, our army's cavalry offensive is going smoothly. In addition to Luanzhou and Yinzhou,

The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun outside Bazhou." Luanzhou and Yinzhou are to the east of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. The main forces of the Second and Third Army were originally stationed in these two places, while Bazhou is the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.

The southernmost passage is the only way to enter the Hebei region. If Bazhou is also attacked by the Khitan army, the Khitan army's cavalry can rush south and drive straight in.

Yeqi Hucheng was not surprised at all by the results achieved by the cavalry. There was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. Such results could be said to be expected. Yeqi Hucheng thought for a moment, raised his head and looked at the herald, and asked

He asked: "Didn't you encounter Yanyun's third army?" The herald said: "Our cavalry has never encountered any decent resistance from the enemy. The third army is still missing."

Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and murmured: "Missing? The situation in Yanjing is extremely critical now. If the Third Army did not come for reinforcements, where would they be?" With a thought in his heart, he immediately said to Long Ba: "Send all the troops.

Scouts, closely monitor the situation in the twenty-mile radius of Yanjing. If there is any situation, report it immediately!" After hearing this, the generals were all shocked. Long Ba clasped his fists and promised, and hurried down.

Ye Qi Hucheng looked at the dancing lights and sneered: "It's not that easy to sneak attack our army!"

Early the next morning, in the early morning mist, the Khitan people's horns sounded loudly, and a huge military formation composed of hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops slowly approached Yanjing City. The formation was like a mountain, and the spears were like a forest.

, murderous intent surged into the sky, the rumbling footsteps were like rolling thunder, and looking around, there was a cold light, like sparkling waves!

The Khitan army's formation approached and stopped three hundred steps away from Yanjing City. The thunderous sound quickly disappeared, and there was silence between heaven and earth. The horns suddenly sounded loudly, and the amazing catapults and cannons fired together. At the same time, tens of thousands

The attacking troops pushed various siege equipment and began to attack the city wall. Since the Khitan people had filled in three moats the day before, the Khitan army's attacking troops were divided into three groups and rushed directly to the city wall from the filled areas and began to attack the city wall.

.

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