The east wing of the Khitan army collapsed after only one round of powerful crossbow fire. The Khitan soldiers never expected to be hit by such a bow and arrow. At a distance of 800 meters, the bloody scene was so terrifying that they were stunned.
There was no more fighting spirit. A thousand people were killed in one fell swoop. How much blood would it take to rush forward? They did not dare to rush forward anymore, but fled in a panic along the way they came.
Like crabs receding on the beach, five thousand Khitan soldiers from the east wing scurried away with their heads in their arms. The Khitan soldiers rushed to the place where they dismounted, snatched the horses, and fled away. The scene of snatching the horses was very chaotic. The Han people followed, and the Koreans
The followers and followers of the Xi clan were fighting over the horses. Although these followers did not dare to fight with the bannermen, they were obviously out of order after being defeated by strong crossbows and arrows.
In the center of the Khitan army, Hu Yuan stared dumbfounded at the collapsed east wing. Was he defeated? Wasn't it just the beginning? His warriors collapsed before they could touch the enemy? He led his troops to plunder Qinghe
The county and county seat were not captured, but they were defeated by the Song army with a single blow? If word of this spread, how will Hu Yuan be able to establish a foothold in Youzhou in the future?
Why does the Song army on the opposite side have so many powerful crossbows? How can they fight this battle?
Hu Yuanyou wanted to personally go into battle to sort out the defeated troops and charge at the Song army on the east wing, but the black holes of powerful crossbows in the Song army's formation made him feel cold. This was a Song army that Hu Yuan had never encountered before. This was a Song army that Hu Yuan had never encountered before.
The shape of this war has changed in a direction that Hu Yuan cannot understand. Where did the Song army come from, and how could it be so powerful? Hu Yuan suddenly remembered Yeqi Hongguang. It is said that Yeqi Hongguang was defeated by an army full of firearms.
The Song army was defeated. Could it be that I encountered this Song army?
After the Song army on the east wing on the opposite side defeated the east wing of the Qing Khitan army, it began to outflank the Khitan army in the middle. The Khitan army was originally small in number, and it was impossible to stop it when encountering such a powerful Song army. The three thousand Khitan army in the middle would obviously be defeated soon.
Yes, the whole army collapsed in front of him. An elite of the Xi army in front of Hu Yuan pulled Hu Yuan's horse and said loudly: "General, we lost! Leave quickly!" Hu Yuan looked at the scene on the battlefield, and his heart seemed to be bleeding.
.After escaping, how many of his soldiers and horses will be hunted down by the Song army? Hu Yuan seems to have seen the scene of Empress Dowager Xiao punishing himself in anger. Maybe he will not be able to keep his title of regiment training envoy!
But the defeat has been decided, so the only thing Hu Yuan can do is to let the soldiers escape and reduce losses. "Ming Jin! Retreat the troops!" Hu Yuan shouted, and then rode his horse to escape to the west. Under his leadership, the Chinese army
The elite troops of the Wubaixi Army turned their horses and fled to the west. On the battlefield, the Khitan Army on the central and west wings had just entered combat mode when they suddenly heard the order to withdraw. They were surprised. They looked back
, only to see the collapsed east wing and the Chinese army fleeing in panic.
What's going on? Didn't the fighting just start? But no matter what, the battle was lost. The Khitan soldiers no longer had the fighting spirit, abandoned the Song army one by one, and retreated to the place where they dismounted. However, although they retreated, they
They did not collapse, but retreated in an organized manner. As they retreated, they turned around and shot arrows to drive back the pursuing Song army, then mounted their horses and fled to the west.
The three generals on the west wing didn't know what happened. They only knew that after the sound of arrows, the Khitan army retreated one after another. In any case, the balance of victory had already tipped to the Song army! The three
The commander-in-chief excitedly rode out and led his cavalry to chase the Khitan soldiers.
When Huaihua marched into Shi Pingzhang, he was inexplicably excited. This was a rare opportunity to pursue the enemy! Sure enough, if he followed Yang Peng's troops to kill the enemy, he would have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds! Holding the boring palladium, he took the lead and rushed to the front of Jing Ding's team. He hacked two people to death.
After an auxiliary soldier of the Khitan army failed to grab the war horse, he continued to chase towards the west, towards the Khitan soldiers who were galloping towards the west.
But the Khitan soldiers were not so easy to chase. The Tatar archers turned around and shot a few arrows from time to time, and could even shoot down the chasing Song army cavalry. But when had Shi Pingzhang ever pursued the Khitan army so smoothly? At this time, he was eager to make a contribution.
Suddenly forgetting his personal safety, he led his servants into the back of the Khitan army and fought with the Khitan soldiers at the back.
What Shi Pingzhang bit was a Khitan army of more than a hundred people, who had been shooting arrows at the rear of the Khitan army. These Khitan soldiers did not break up, but retreated when they heard the sound of gold.
But they fought with Shi Pingzhang's servants for a while, and then the large group of Song troops behind them came and killed them. Finally, these Khitan troops were surrounded by a large group of Song army cavalry.
The eyes of these Khitan soldiers were bloodshot, and they roared and charged back and forth in the Song army formation, killing three or four of Shi Pingzhang's servants. The momentum of the trapped beasts making Shi Pingzhang's servants unable to hold them down for a while.
More and more Song troops surrounded the outside, and the archers of the Song army began to shoot arrows at these Khitan troops. The bowstrings rang, and the Khitan soldiers were hit by arrows one after another and fell off their horses.
Shi Pingzhang laughed loudly. He ordered ten soldiers to go up and cut off the heads. He led his servants and rode horses to chase the Khitan army in the distance. Zhang Yan, Shi Pinghu, and more than 3,000 cavalrymen of Kou Zhun also rushed out to pursue them.
The Khitan army, these cavalrymen galloped across the North China Plain, chasing the Khitan cavalry who fled in embarrassment.
Yang Peng's vanguard regiment is also chasing the Khitan army. Yang Bamei and the cavalry of the vanguard regiment have rifles. They can rush to within two hundred meters of the Khitan army and kill the cavalry in front. There is no need to fight with the Khitan soldiers. The efficiency of the pursuit is
Very high. The Selection Regiment chased south for more than ten miles and killed more than a thousand Khitan soldiers who were gradually falling behind.
The more troublesome thing is that every time a Khitan army is killed, one must immediately dismount and have his head cut off, otherwise it is very likely that Shi Pingzhang's servants will cut off his head. After chasing for more than ten miles, the Song army's cavalry stopped chasing.
At this time, the Song army's infantry had fallen ten miles away from the cavalry, and there were only more than 6,000 Ming army cavalry chasing them. If the Khitan's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses turned around to surround the Song army's cavalry, the situation would be reversed.
The Song troops watched the Khitan army flee from a distance, feeling proud and regretful at the same time. The results of this battle were very gratifying. Shi Pingzhang rode back and forth on the battlefield, calculating his gains, and finally he got something that made him
The number with shining eyes: level three hundred and twenty-three!
Shi Pingzhang triumphantly patrolled the battlefield and finally found Yang Peng. "Lord City Lord, how many heads have you captured?" Yang Peng turned to ask Yang Bamei: "How many levels have we hunted down?" Yang Bamei replied.
: "General, we hunted down level 1,120!"
Yang Peng replied: "Including the 1,071 levels before the battle, my soldiers have achieved 2,191 levels!" Shi Pingzhang was stunned. He did not expect that Yang Peng had won so many heads. He praised him.
He hit Yang Peng on the chest like a circle and said: "Good guy!" But he soon became proud again and said loudly: "Lord City Lord, I have also achieved level 320! Hahahaha!"
After chasing down the Khitan army, Kou Zhun summoned all the troops to check their military achievements. Finally, it was determined that Shi Pinghu captured and killed 272 levels, Zhang Yan captured and killed 231 levels, and Shi Pingzhang captured and killed 323 levels.
level, Kou Zhun's governor's camp captured and killed 307 levels. However, these four families together did not gain as much as Yang Peng's, and Yang Peng's army captured and killed 2,191 levels.
Now that Yang Peng has a strong army, no one can share his military exploits. Yang Peng did not share his military exploits for defeating Hanjiazhuang, and Yang Peng did not share his military exploits for capturing more than 2,000 levels this time. But this time the three families
After all, Kou Zhun and Superintendent Biao's battalion all gained something, and it was only thanks to Yang Peng that he defeated the Qing army's east wing that everyone achieved such a gain. For a while, no one was jealous of Yang Peng.
Kou Zhun and the generals happily surrounded the sergeants who were salting their heads with lime, discussing this great victory. "I didn't expect that I, Shi Pingzhang, could hunt down more than 10,000 Khitan soldiers! It was really fun!" Shi Pinghu laughed loudly.
Laughing, he said: "It's all thanks to the city lord's general that he defeated the Khitan's east wing with a single blow! We only had such a chance to pursue the Khitan soldiers! The city lord's general's soldiers and horses were so brave that they defeated the Khitan soldiers with a round of strong crossbows and long arrows.
Already."
Zhang Yan said with a smile: "One hundred and forty powerful crossbows, really a thousand arrows shot together. How can a flesh and blood body stop this powerful crossbow bow and arrow?" Zhang Yan asked curiously: "What kind of bow and arrows does the city lord general use?
?Can one round of artillery fire kill a thousand Khitan soldiers?"
Yang Peng said: "The strong crossbow I use can kill two Khitan soldiers with one arrow from a distance of 800 meters!" "What is a long arrow?" "It is a strong crossbow with ten long arrows!"
Shi Pinghu suddenly realized it and kept saying that it was so. Shi Pingzhang said: "Let's go! Let's take a look at the powerful crossbow of the Lord of the City?" Everyone was very interested and went to Yang Peng's army to observe Li Zhi's powerful crossbow. Everyone had limited knowledge of the powerful crossbow and was not familiar with it.
The types of strong crossbows are only known to be machine crossbows. As for Li Zhi's iron core, copper body technology and iron billet cannon technology, they have no idea at all.
After looking around, these generals didn't see anything special, they just cheered. Kou Zhun stroked his beard and said: "The cannons of the city lord general are indeed powerful. I wonder how much one costs?" Yang Peng gave a high number,
He replied: "One door costs six hundred taels of silver!"
Kou Zhun calculated the calculation and said: "Six hundred taels is also a good deal. After this battle, I, the superintendent of Biao Battalion, also want to equip some of these powerful crossbows. At that time, I will give twelve thousand taels to the general, and the general will make them for me."
Twenty strong crossbows?" The cost of Yang Peng casting a strong crossbow is only one hundred taels. If he sells it to Kou Zhun for 600 taels each, he will make a profit of 500 taels. Yang Peng thinks that this business cannot be done.
Finally I agreed.
"Okay, then I will fire twenty crossbows for Master Kou!" Kou Zhun was happy when he heard this, stroking his long beard with satisfaction, and nodded. Hearing that Qiang Nu was willing to fire crossbows for Kou Zhun, several generals were busy.
They gathered around and said: "General Lord of the City, I also want fifteen gates!" "General Lord of the City, also cast twenty gates for me!"
Seeing that these three generals wanted to buy their own strong crossbows, Yang Peng felt that he was selling them too cheaply and didn't want to sell them anymore. He lied and said, "It takes a month to make a strong crossbow. I have three workshops working together."
I can only cast three doors in a month. When I finish casting twenty doors for Lord Kou next year, I can cast them for you again!"
The three generals were stunned when they heard this, but they thought it was reasonable. It usually takes dozens of days and a month to make a strong crossbow. Yang Peng's strong crossbow is cheap, but it can't be made faster than others. Only this one
The moon can only cast three gates, and I don't know when it will be able to cast them for themselves. The three generals looked at Yang Peng's powerful crossbow angrily, and were very unwilling to do so.
Shi Pinghu said tentatively: "How many used artillery pieces can the city lord general sell me? Urgent use!" Yang Peng rolled his eyes and said: "Those are not for sale!" Everyone was discussing ordnance there, but they heard firecrackers in the distance.
The sound rang out. Everyone looked back and saw that the gate of Jinghai City was wide open, and the squire and common people in the city came out to reward the army, carrying wine and meat on their backs.
There were only a thousand rural soldiers in the city. Those rural soldiers and civilians guarded the city for five days. Seeing that the traps and tunnels under the city were filled up little by little by the Khitan army, everyone thought that this time it would be inevitable. Who knew that Wang Shi was coming from the north?
The drums beat down and defeated the Khitan army. The people in the city rejoiced and said that it was Master Wang who saved me, so they naturally came out to reward the officers and soldiers.
The group of people carried pigs, sheep, livestock, wine, rice and food out of the city gate and walked towards Kou Zhun beating gongs and drums. The people in the city crowded out the city gate. They crowded under the city wall to see who could save their lives.
What are the officers and soldiers like, but they are a little afraid of the officers and soldiers and dare not go to the front.
Walking at the front of the team was an old man on crutches. The old man was seven or eighty years old. He had a snow-white beard and hair, but he still looked strong. Walking next to him was an old man wearing the uniform of a seventh-grade civil servant.
The civil servant was probably the magistrate of Jinghai County. The old man looked at the arrangement of the army, looked in front of the formation, grabbed a few soldiers and asked, and then led the people towards Yang Peng's strong crossbowmen.
I came and found a group of officers and generals who were discussing ordnance.
When Kou Zhun saw the people coming, he led Yang Peng and others to greet him. When he got to Kou Zhun, the old man asked: "Which master is this?" Kou Zhun raised his hand and said: "Old countryman, I
Is it Dr. Jin Ziguanglu? Kou Zhun, these are the soldiers and horses under my command!" The old man looked at Kou Zhun, cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Kou, you are so polite!"
The magistrate quickly came up and said, "Master Kou, this is Lu Duan, the former Minister of the Ministry of War and the former Prime Minister."
Kou Zhun suddenly realized, raised his hands and said, "Junior, I have met Lu Gong!" The old man waved his hand and said, "I have become an official, and now I have no official status. Master Kou is exempt from courtesy, don't try to offend me." Lu Duan looked at him.
The general behind Kou Zhun asked: "I can see clearly at the city gate that it was a long arrow that drove back the Khitan soldiers. This crossbow is really sharp! Which general's crossbow is this?"
Kou Zhun let Yang Peng out and said, "This is Yang Peng's crossbowmen in Tianjing New City!" Yang Peng walked up to Lu Duan, cupped his hands and said, "Lv Gong, I'm going to Tianjing New City, Yang Peng!" Lu Duan looked at it.
Yang Peng said: "The general saved the people of Jinghai City and saved the lives of Lao Chen's family. I pay you my respects!" After saying this, he slowly bent down, and finally he arched his waist.
He put his hands on the crutches and gave Yang Peng a deep bow with difficulty.
When the county magistrate saw Lu Duan bowing down, he also quickly bowed to Yang Peng and said loudly: "General, please bow to me!" Seeing this, the squires and common people behind Lu Duan knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowed and said:
"Thank you, Master Wang, for saving us!" "Master Wang, for saving us, we are so grateful!" "Master Wang, with his mighty power, saved a whole city of people!"
Some excited people began to cry. They thought about what kind of punishment they would suffer if the Khitan captured the city, how many relatives they would lose, and whether they could save their lives. As they thought about it, they became more and more grateful to use strong crossbows to drive them away.
Yang Peng, a member of the Khitan soldiers, all knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
Lu Duan was also very emotional. He had a fierce personality. If Kou Zhun's reinforcements did not come again, he would hang himself after the city was defeated. This time the Khitan army attacked Gaoyang City, his five sons, six grandsons, and two nephews,
The eight great-nephews all took the initiative to join the defense force, and more than a hundred men from his family were on the city wall to help the village soldiers defend the city. If the city was breached by the Khitan soldiers, his entire family would surely suffer the harshest retaliation from the Khitan army.
Neither can survive.
Yang Peng used cannons to repel Hu Yuan, and the one who saved was not him alone, but the whole Lu family. How could Lu Duan's gratitude to Yang Peng be expressed in a single bow? Seeing Lu Duan thank Yang Peng,
Seeing the people kowtow to thank Yang Peng, cry and worship, the three generals were very sad. Lu Duan was a famous minister of the generation, the emperor of Zhenzong. It was a great blessing to be worshiped by such a famous minister.
The tears and gratitude of these common people are not what the general wanted in his life?
They were a little jealous of Yang Peng's treatment, but they admired it very much. How could their troops not have the combat effectiveness of Yang Peng to drive away the Khitan soldiers with one arrow? Yang Peng's combat effectiveness was worthy of such a scene.
If they wait until next year and buy dozens of powerful crossbows from Yang Peng, maybe they can be as majestic as Yang Peng?
Kou Zhun stood aside and smiled. Lu Xiangsheng is thirty-nine years old this year and has been working as an official in Bianjing. He has only seen Lu Duan from a distance a few times, and that was more than ten years ago. He and Lu Duan are basically the same.
He didn't know him, but when he met Lu Duan today, Kou Zhun realized that Lu Duan's eyes were really powerful - Lu Duan could tell at a glance that this army mainly relied on Yang Peng to fight, and he wanted to find the real owner to thank him.
Yang Peng looked at the people who were kneeling and smiled. He helped Lu Duan up and said loudly: "Mr. Lu, please get up! Now that the Khitan is raging, it is our duty as military attachés to save the people. Why do you need to be so generous?
Lu Duan slowly straightened up and said, "If it weren't for the general, there would have been dozens of people from Lao Chan's sect! How could it be that he was the same as Lao Chan?"
The common people gradually stood up. A village old man came up with rice wine in his hand and said: "This is rice wine brewed by the villagers using local millet. Please drink it with Lord Kou and the generals!" Kou Zhun held the rice wine in his hand and drank.
After drinking it all, the old man brought the rice wine to Yang Peng again. Yang Peng picked up the wine bowl and drank it in one gulp. Lu Duan looked at Yang Peng, nodded, and said slowly: "The state's tiger generals are a blessing to the country!"
However, Hu Yuan's career was not glorious. He was beaten away by Kou Zhun and fled to Mozhou. In the Khitan army tent under the city, Xiao Tianzuo and the Khitan army generals sat on chairs and looked at the people standing in the tent.
Hu Yuan and Han Derang in the middle have extraordinary looks, are talented in archery and horsemanship, and have always been a bit conceited. Hearing Hu Yuan's words, Han Derang sneered and said: "You said that when you besieged Jinghai City, you were beaten by more than 20,000 Song troops.
Collapsed!" After a pause, Han Derang said: "Hu Yuan, you have fifteen thousand Daliao warriors under your banner!"
Hu Yuan's face turned red, and he looked at himself, Han Derang, with some annoyance, and said loudly: "If Han De asked you to be there, you would still have no choice but to run away!" Han Derang said loudly: "We, Yingzhou's five thousand soldiers and horses, defeated twelve thousand.
Thousands of Song troops. If I lead 15,000 soldiers and horses, I will definitely beat the more than 20,000 Song troops into panic!"
Hu Yuan was scolded by Han Derang and felt a little ashamed. The Khitan army's expedition was divided into internal operations and external operations. Xiao Tianzuo led Xiao Tianyou, Zhang Hua and Han Derang to attack the castle of the Song Army's Guanning defense line in the west of Mozhou to contain the west.
The Khitan troops who entered the fortress were not all Daliao troops. Among the Khitan troops who entered the fortress, there were probably more than 30,000 Khitan troops, plus more than 20,000 Xi tribesmen and Bohai tribes, and finally some handymen.
, known as one hundred thousand.
At this time, there were many Xi tribe nobles and Khitan nobles sitting in Xiao Tianzuo's camp. Xiao Tianyou came up and said a word for Hu Yuan: "This Song army can defeat Hu Yuan. It must be good. I don't know which one it is."
A Song army?" Hu Yuan then found a step and said quickly: "This Song army is the soldiers and horses of Kou Zhun of the Song Dynasty, and under his command is Yang Peng, who wiped out the Hongguang troops of Yeqi the year before!"
Kou Zhun's name was well known and did not attract the attention of the generals. But when they heard Yang Peng's name, the Khitan generals in the tent were startled. The year before last, Ye Qi's red-light army of 12,000 Zhenghuang Banners was in Cangzhou.
Defeated by Yang Peng, the soldiers were almost wiped out by Yang Peng. Only more than a thousand auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers escaped alive and returned to Yingzhou's army. The Baizhao envoy was crippled in this battle.
If Xiao Tianzuo can plunder more people and property this time and return to Youzhou, his prestige will be even greater. Empress Dowager Xiao will have to discuss all military and state affairs with Xiao Tianzuo in the future. When they heard that Hu Yuan met Yang Peng, all the Khitans
A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the nobles, and they looked at each other a few times. This was the master who led four thousand soldiers and horses to cripple twelve thousand Zhengye's red army. If the Battle of Dagou was a fluke,
, then this time he defeated Hu Yuan again, which is enough to prove Li Zhi's strength.
After the Northern Recruitment Envoy was defeated at Dagou City the year before last, the Liao State sent a large number of spies to Cangzhou to inquire about Yang Peng's information. Although the continuous guarantee system in Tianjing New City was strictly enforced, the Liao Kingdom's spies could not get in, but
Cangzhou is easy to sneak into. Liao's agents have found out a lot of information about Yang Peng in Cangzhou and have already figured out Yang Peng's basic situation.
After Yang Peng defeated Ye Qi Hongguang, there was no news. This Yang Peng was completely different from other Ming generals. Other Song generals lived on empty wages and drank the blood of soldiers. It would be good to have 3,000 soldiers from 5,000 soldiers. But this one
Yang Peng did the opposite and used private property to support his troops. Xiao Tian, the general of the Liao Kingdom, sat in the middle of a group of nobles, frowning and thinking.
Xiao Tianzuo was a lean young man with a handsome face and a beautiful beard. He was only forty-seven years old at this time, but he was already a very important figure in the Liao Kingdom. Other generals and nobles may not be particularly clear about Yang Peng's information, but
Xiao Tianzuo knew it very well. In Xiao Tianzuo's heart, Yang Peng was already the number one enemy of the Liao Kingdom. When Hu Yuan reported Yang Peng's name, Xiao Tianzuo narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "
Is this Yang Peng again?"
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
