Yeqihu City finally calmed down and turned to ask Barron: "How many people did our army lose in this battle?" Barron said: "Including the Iron Buddha Tu, the total loss was about 50,000." Yeqihu City was again.
There was a burst of heartache, and he said in a deep voice: "If this revenge is not avenged, how can I, the Hucheng City of Yeqi, still stand between heaven and earth?"
The generals looked at each other, looking a little discouraged. Han Chang frowned and said: "The Yan Yun army is too powerful. We were overwhelmed by them without paying attention! Especially the Yan King's cavalry." At this point
, Han Chang's face couldn't help but change slightly, with a hint of fear, "The King of Yan's cavalry charged, like a landslide, like a tsunami, devastating and unstoppable! If our iron pagoda and light cavalry hadn't fought to the death to stop them,
The consequences are really unimaginable!" Everyone nodded with deep sympathy, and everyone was still frightened! Barron said with a puzzled face: "I really don't know where the Yanyun people found that kind of war horse? It's so majestic and powerful.
, using this as a cavalry mount is truly unstoppable!"
Han Chang looked at West and Butler and asked: "Two generals, I heard that the war horses of the West are very majestic and tall. I wonder if these horses of King Yan's cavalry are the war horses of the West?"
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on West and Butler. The two looked at each other. West said: "Our war horses in the west are indeed taller than those in the east, but they cannot compete with those of King Yan's cavalry.
A war horse is on par!" Then he showed a look of amazement, "We have never seen such a majestic and powerful war horse! It's really shocking!"
The generals were talking a lot, and they were all speculating about the origin of King Yan's horse. They talked about all kinds of weird things, and even myths and legends were told.
Ye Qi Hucheng raised his voice and said: "Okay, no more guessing!" Everyone stopped talking, the tent became quiet, and everyone's eyes focused on Ye Qi Hucheng again.
Ye Qihu City was pacing back and forth, suddenly stopped and looked at the sand table. His eyes fell on Juyong Pass, and his heart moved. He immediately raised his finger and pointed at Juyong Pass and Fengsheng Prefecture, which had been captured by the Yanyun Army, and said:
"The Han people have a strategy called 'lure the snake out of the hole, and invite the king into the urn'. Let's give them a trick of 'lure the snake out of the hole, and invite the king into the urn'!" The generals didn't know what was going on. Ye Qianhucheng said to the generals: "We are going to take back Xijing Road with great fanfare.
!" The generals looked at each other in confusion, completely confused as to what kind of medicine was being sold in the gourd of Yeqianhu City.
Yang Peng was discussing the strategy of retreating from the enemy with Yeqi Guanyin, Yang Jiumei and others. The scout hurried in and knelt down and reported: "To King Yan, not long ago, the army of Yeqi Hucheng's commander left to the northwest.
!”
Everyone was shocked, and Yang Peng asked the scout: "Did the entire Khitan army leave the camp, but left a part of the army behind?" The scout said: "Half of the army was left behind, and Yeqi Hucheng led half of the army towards the northwest.
And go!”
Yang Jiumei looked at Yang Peng and said with a worried expression: "King Yan, they must be heading towards Juyongguan and Xijing Road. They want to take advantage of our inability to return reinforcements and recapture Xijing Road!" All the generals nodded, thinking they were sure.
That's it. Yang Peng's eyes fell on Yang Jiumei's face, and Ye Guanyin looked thoughtful and remained silent.
Yang Jiumei said: "King Yan, if the Khitan army succeeds, not only will all the previous efforts be in vain, but even Datong Mansion will be in danger!" The generals agreed, and Yang Jing said carelessly: "Brother, let's send troops quickly.
Go support Juyong Pass!" Xiao Feng said: "We have just won a great victory. If we divide one of our troops to support Juyong Pass, it will not affect Yanjing's defense! The terrain of Juyong Pass is majestic and steep, the fortifications are extremely strong, and it is equipped with cannons. I think
We only need to increase the number of troops by about 50,000 to ensure that nothing goes wrong!" Everyone agreed with Xiao Feng's words. Yang Peng did not express his position, but paced back and forth. Everyone looked at Yang Peng, and the scene of the heated discussion suddenly became quiet.
Yang Peng stopped, glanced at everyone, and said decisively: "We are going to send troops!" All the generals showed joy, and Yang Jing said excitedly: "I will gather the soldiers immediately!" After saying that, he turned and left. Yang Peng shouted
"Yang Jing is not busy!" Yang Jing turned around, clasped his fists towards Yang Peng and said, "Brother, what else do you have to say?" Yang Peng said with a smile: "You are not busy, we are not going to send troops immediately, but tonight
Send troops!" The generals looked at each other in shock, and Yang Jing said impatiently: "Wouldn't this delay things!" The generals all agreed, thinking that troops should be sent for rescue as soon as possible.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Although there are only 10,000 defenders at Juyong Pass, the terrain of Juyong Pass is dangerous and has been continuously reinforced and improved in recent years. Although the Khitan army is huge, they want to break the city in a short time.
You don’t have to think about it! I estimate that it will take at least ten days and a half for the Khitan army to break through Juyong Pass, so we don’t have to worry!” The generals looked at each other. Although they all felt that what King Yan said was reasonable, the military situation was like a fire.
The unhurried approach still made everyone feel that they were not at odds. Yang Peng glanced at the generals, smiled, and said: "Don't be too nervous, the situation is not as severe as everyone imagined. We operate at night to let the enemy
It is difficult for us to detect our movements and the size of our troops, which is more beneficial to us!" The generals suddenly understood and nodded one after another.
Yeqi Hucheng led an army of 250,000 people and marched twenty-five miles northwest, arriving at a place with tall mountains and dense forests. Yeqi Hucheng reined in his horse, looked up, and asked, "This is where it is."
Xiangshan, right?" Zheng Shilong next to him said quickly: "This is Xiangshan!" Yeqi Hucheng ordered: "Send the order, the main force will immediately ambush here, and the feint troops will continue to advance towards Juyongguan!" Zheng Shilong agreed and immediately sent the message
Give orders.
200,000 of the 250,000 troops entered the mountains and forests near Xiangshan and hid, while the 50,000 troops continued to march toward Juyongguan with great fanfare. Soon, the Xiangshan area became quiet. Looking from a distance, the entire Xiangshan area was very...
Silent, as if there was no one around.
Yeqianhu City set up its temporary camp under a camphor tree halfway up Xiangshan Mountain. From here, you can have an unobstructed view of the scenery within a dozen miles below the mountain. However, the people at the foot of the mountain looked up the mountain, but could not see any clues. The sun set.
Now, the moon has climbed to the top of the mountain, and Yeqihu City stands on the edge of the hillside, looking into the distance, feeling slightly nervous. When fighting other opponents, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Yeqihu City will not feel it.
He was not nervous at all, but facing the King of Yan Yang Peng, he couldn't control his mood, and the nervousness always surged into his heart uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a small black dot appeared in his field of vision, looming under the moonlight and hard to see clearly. Yeli Hucheng's heart moved. After a moment, he saw clearly that it was a scout riding a fast horse.
Two quarters of an hour later, the scout ran up the mountain and ran straight to the vicinity of Yeqihu City. He dismounted from his horse and ran to the side of Yeqihu City. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Yanyun's army is leaving the city.
Already!..."
Yeqi Hucheng and the generals around him became excited. Yeqi Hucheng asked urgently: "How many soldiers and horses came out?" The scout said: "There are about hundreds of thousands of people, and King Yan Yang Peng personally leads the army!
"
Ye Qian Hucheng laughed loudly and said loudly: "Okay! Very good! Even if King Yan is treacherous, he never expected that we would prepare a dragnet for him here!" Then he turned to the generals and said: "You guys immediately
Go down and prepare. This time, we must annihilate the Yanyun army in one fell swoop and capture Yang Peng alive!" All the generals agreed in unison and ran down. Yeqi Hucheng turned back to the hillside, looked into the distance, and murmured
: "Come on, come on quickly!"
Time gradually passed, and one hour passed before he knew it, and two hours passed, but the Yan Yun army he was expecting never showed up. Yeqi Hucheng couldn't help but become anxious, pacing back and forth on the hillside.
The sudden sound of horse hoofbeats sounded. Yeqihu City stopped and followed the sound. He saw a scout galloping up the mountain, so he stopped. The scout reined in his horse, got down, and hurried to Yeqihu City.
In front of him, he knelt down on one knee and said urgently: "Your Majesty, it's not good! Yan Yun Army, Yan Yun Army..." Ye Qi Hucheng was impatient and asked: "What's wrong with Yan Yun Army?"
The scout swallowed hard and said urgently: "The Yanyun Army raided our military camp. Our army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses!" Yeqi Hucheng was shocked and shouted: "What?" The scout repeated it again.
Yeqihu City was so shocked that it was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do. He suddenly reacted and said in a hurry: "Quick, send an order to all the troops to return to the camp immediately to support!" All the soldiers agreed and hurriedly said.
Ran down.
The originally silent mountains suddenly became noisy. The Jin troops who were originally ambushing in the mountains and forests rushed out one after another, gathering into one force and rushing towards their own camp outside Yanjing City. After running for more than 20 miles, they saw the night sky in the distance.
It was so red that everyone couldn't help but be frightened. The generals urged each other, and the soldiers couldn't help but speed up their pace.
He ran for another ten miles.
Suddenly, shouts suddenly rose from the mountains and forests on both sides, and the Jin Army soldiers were shocked. Before they understood what was going on, a sharp whistling sound came from their ears. In an instant, many Khitan Army soldiers were shot to the ground.
The officers and soldiers of the Khitan army were caught off guard and became confused. People in Yeqihu City were frightened and shouted urgently: "There is an ambush, the whole army shrinks! The whole army shrinks!" The officers and soldiers of the Khitan army heard the shouts from Yeqihu City.
They hurriedly gathered towards Yeqihu City, and at this moment, the sound of rolling thunder and the sound of killing one after another came from all directions. The Khitan army officers and soldiers saw countless torches rushing in from all directions, and the firelight illuminated them.
Underneath, there are looming figures, as if there are countless enemy troops!
The King of Yan's cavalry was divided into five teams and first broke into the enemy's formation. The horses trampled with iron hooves and the big maces roared, killing the Khitan army corpses with blood and souls scattered! In an instant, the Khitan army was cut into several sections, and then the light cavalry, infantry
The army stormed up, rushed into the enemy group, and charged and killed fiercely!
The soldiers of the Khitan army tried their best to resist, but they were suddenly unprepared. In just a moment, they were rushed to pieces and defeated. The defeated army fled all over the mountains and fields, panicking like a dog that had lost its home, and rushing like a fish that had slipped through the net. It was chaos.
In this situation, even if Li Mu is reborn and Bai Qi comes, he will not be able to turn the tide. Yeli Hucheng was devastated and fled in a hurry towards the camp surrounded by soldiers...
Ye Qi Hucheng and others fled back to the camp. Seeing that the camp was relatively calm, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Xiao Salihe and others who stayed behind at the camp were stunned when they saw Ye Qi Hucheng and others fleeing back in embarrassment.
, I didn’t know what to say for a moment. Seeing Xiao Salihe and the others in Yeqian Hucheng, they were so ashamed and frustrated that they had nothing to say.
After a while, Ye Qian Hucheng asked: "What happened here? Where is the enemy?"
Xiao Sali said with a look of lingering fear on his face: "About an hour ago, Yan Yun's army suddenly entered the camp! Fortunately, the general followed the king's wishes and took precautions, so it did not lead to irreparable consequences! However, but...
..." Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and said angrily; "Don't hesitate to speak! But what?" Xiao Sali frowned and said: "Although our army repelled the enemy's surprise attack, the food and grass still suffered a big loss.
"Loss," Yeqi Hucheng was taken aback and asked anxiously: "How much food and grass was lost?" Xiao Sali said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the food and grass were only lost about a quarter! Yeqi Hucheng
He breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "It's okay, it's okay."
Xiao Salihe glanced at Xiao Salihe and others who were in a very embarrassed state, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, you guys, have you encountered something?"
Ye Qian Hucheng frowned, snorted, and walked towards the tent. Xiao Salihe looked at Zheng Shilong in confusion. Zheng Shilong walked up to Salihe and whispered with lingering fear: "We were attacked by Yan
The Yun army ambushed, the army was scattered, and the losses were heavy!" Although Xiao Salihe had expected it, he was still shocked when he heard this, and asked in shock: "How could this happen?"
Zheng Shilong said: "Our army was originally in ambush in Xiangshan, waiting for the enemy troops to arrive. However, instead of waiting for the enemy troops, we waited for the emergency scouts sent by you, the general!..."
Xiao Sali was surprised and said: "I didn't send anyone to report the news to you!" Zheng Shilong was startled, "What, General, you didn't send someone to report the news?" Xiao Sali shouted: "Although the enemy army
We raided the camp, but the force was limited and our army was well prepared, so although we lost some food, grass, soldiers and horses, the situation was not dangerous, so I did not send a messenger to the king!"
Zheng Shilong said in surprise: "The messenger was not sent by the general, who could have sent it?" The two men's hearts moved at the same time, and they looked at each other with horror in their eyes. Zheng Shilong nodded and said: "It must be the messenger sent by King Yan.
!This is all a trick of King Yan, and we have all been fooled!" Xiao Sali nodded with deep sympathy. Zheng Shilong frowned and said: "As soon as we received the so-called warning message, we immediately gathered the army to come back for reinforcements. As a result,
We were suddenly attacked by Yan Yun's army on the way! Hey, we were unprepared and were killed and defeated, hey!"
A feeling of fear arose in the hearts of both of them at the same time. Xiao Sali couldn't help but said: "Yang Peng, the king of Yan, is really terrible! Originally, we set a trap for him to fall into his trap, but we didn't want him to trick us!" Zheng Shilong
He nodded with deep sympathy and said with great confusion: "I still don't understand how King Yan Yang Peng saw our army's intention? This guy is simply a monster!"
Xiao Sali sighed and said: "Let's enter the big tent." Zheng Shilong nodded. The two of them walked into the big tent together. At this time, Ye Qihucheng was pacing back and forth in the big tent, looking very angry.
, none of the generals standing in the tent dared to say a word. Xiao Salihe and Zheng Shilong quietly walked to their positions and stood up.
Ye Qian Hucheng stopped, glanced at the generals, and asked angrily and suspiciously: "How did Yang Peng know about my plan?" The generals were frightened and lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say a word.
, for fear that if he made any noise, he would be suspected by Ye Qi Hucheng.
Ye Qian Hucheng's eyes swept over everyone's face, and did not find anything suspicious. Then he thought: These generals are either my confidants or veterans who have fought for the Liao Kingdom for many years. How could they possibly compete with each other?
Yang Peng is colluding!
After thinking about this, his expression softened a little, and he looked at Xiao Salihe and asked: "How many soldiers and horses have been lost in the camp?" Salihe quickly came out of the queue, bowed and said: "Report to the king, seven or eight thousand people have been lost.
Less than 10,000, the main loss is the food and grass!" Xiao Salihe frowned and nodded, looked at Zheng Shilong, and asked: "How many troops have returned?" Zheng Shilong immediately stepped out of the queue, bowed and said: "Report to the king, rough statistics
After a while, about 50,000 horses were lost!"
Yeqi Hucheng felt a pain in his heart, and then he frowned, with a thoughtful look on his face. All the generals looked at Yeqi Hucheng, no one dared to speak. Everyone knew that Yeqi Hucheng was in a very bad mood at this moment, and they were afraid of touching him.
If you get into his bad luck, you will be in bad luck!
Ye Qi Hucheng thought for a moment, glanced at the generals, and said: "Go down and rest." The generals secretly breathed a sigh of relief, defeated Ye Qi Hucheng, and filed out of the tent.
Yeqi Hucheng also left the tent and patrolled the military camp. He saw that the morale of the soldiers was very low after two major defeats. Seeing such a scene, Yeqi Hucheng felt even worse. Unknowingly,
When I walked outside a soldier's tent, I heard someone talking inside. I couldn't help but stop and listen carefully. I heard an older voice sighing and saying: "Some people have long said that King Yan is the blue dragon in the sky.
It is impossible to defeat Xing Xiaxia! I didn’t believe it at first, but now I have to believe it!” Then there was a sigh, and there seemed to be a lot of people in the tent.
Then a young voice said in a horrified tone: "Yan Yun's army is like a group of monsters! Yesterday during the day, our army of more than 500,000 people faced their 200,000 soldiers and horses, but we couldn't beat them! Tonight, obviously,
We set a trap, but they actually plotted against us. I almost lost my life! Hey, I don’t think we can beat them!" Then there was a voice of agreement in the tent. Listening to these voices,
Obviously everyone is scared and worried.
Yeqianhucheng immediately wanted to rush into the tent and question the soldiers, but then he thought: What should he question them for? What's the use of asking them? At this point, he gave up his previous plan, sighed secretly, and turned around
left.
Returning to the main tent, he was thinking about how to defeat the Yanyun Army and occupy Yanjing all the way. He just felt that judging from the current situation, it was really difficult to defeat the Yanyun Army. Not only were the Yanyun Army extremely powerful, but they also
The leader of the army, King Yan, was extremely cunning, and he fell into his scheme without paying attention! For a moment, Ye Qian Hucheng couldn't think of any good ideas. He walked into the tent, raised his head, and saw Han Chang coming to greet him: "
King!"
Ye Qian Hucheng nodded, walked up to sit down, glanced at Han Chang, and asked, "Didn't I tell you to rest? What are you doing here?"
Han Chang smiled and said: "The king must be worried about how to destroy the current Yanyun army!" Yeli Hucheng felt that he was laughing at him, snorted and said angrily: "I don't need to tell you what I want!
"Han Chang's heart trembled, and he realized that what he just said had misunderstood the king, and he quickly bowed and said: "The general will never dare to disrespect the king!" Ye Qi Hucheng's expression softened a little, and asked: "Are you running away at this time?
Come on, there must be something going on, right? Stop beating around the bush with me and tell the truth! That’s the bad thing about you Han people, you always don’t speak and do things happily!”
Han Chang smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty, the general has thought of a strategy to break through Yanjing and eliminate Yanyun's army!..." Ye Qi Hucheng's eyes lit up, he stood up suddenly, and urged: "Say quickly!"
Han Changdao: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Yanyun under the rule of King Yan is not monolithic. Many people are actually against King Yan! Not long ago, there was a rebellion in Yanjing City! This incident
Although it failed in the end, it also shows that there are many people in Yanjing City who are against Yang Peng! What the general meant is to send people to sneak into the city to find the forces that oppose Yang Peng. As long as such a force can be found, the inside should cooperate with the outside.
We can definitely break through the city and defeat Yan Yun’s army in one fell swoop!”
Ye Qian Hucheng frowned, looked at Han Chang, and said: "Those people's rebellion has been completely crushed. I heard that all the leaders involved in this matter have been arrested. Can any opposition to Yang Peng still be found?
?”
Han Chang said: "It should be possible. No matter what, it won't hurt to give it a try." Ye Qi Hucheng nodded and said: "Now we can only give it a try!" Then he ordered: "You choose it yourself.
A reliable person was sent to sneak into the city to find the forces that oppose Yang Peng." Han Chang promised, bowed to Yeqihu City, and retreated.
The sight turned to the main hall of the Yanjing Palace. Yang Peng and everyone gathered in the main hall. Yang Jing talked about the defeat of the Khitan army not long ago, and everyone laughed. Yang Jing said with admiration: "Brother is better than that Zhuge Liang."
Much more powerful! Whatever the Khitan people want to do, nothing can escape the eyes of big brother! Big brother, can you just count it out and know that it will be five hundred years before and five hundred years after?" Everyone laughed again. Yang Peng was deliberately serious.
He said with an expression: "It's nothing to know five hundred years before and five hundred years later! Your elder brother, I know five thousand years before and one thousand years later!" Yang Peng's words are not nonsense.
Yang Jing blinked his eyes and looked at Yang Peng in awe. He obviously took Yang Peng's words seriously. If another person had said these words, Yang Jing would definitely have slapped him in the face and called him nonsense.
Badao, and then spit in his face, but these words were said by Yang Peng, so Yang Jing did not have the slightest doubt!
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
