When Hu Yuan saw that Xiao Tianzuo also called out Yang Peng's name, he felt as if he was being pardoned and said quickly: "Yes, Commander, it's this Yang Peng again! It's not that Hu Yuan is useless, it's because Yang Peng's soldiers and horses are too strong!" Xiao Tianyou
Put the index finger and thumb of your right hand together and gently rub them together, and ask Hu Yuan loudly: "Hu Yuan, how did he defeat you?" Hu Yuan Xuanran was the training envoy of Youzhou regiment, but because of his lowly biological mother, his status among the Khitan nobles was not high.
Although Xiao Tianyou was Hu Yuan's brother-in-law, he had repeatedly made military exploits as the commander-in-chief of the Liao Kingdom. Xiao Tianyou's status had always been higher than that of Hu Yuan. Hu Yuan was also used to being ignored by Xiao Tianyou.
Tianyou’s condescending questioning.
Hu Yuan looked at Xiao Tianyou and said loudly: "General, Yang Peng has deployed 10,000 troops and horses on Kou Zhun's east wing, including more than a hundred powerful crossbows. On my right wing, 6,000 troops and horses rushed forward, only to hear
When there was a roar of arrows, a thousand people were shot to death by crossbows in front of the formation, and the right wing collapsed." "As soon as the right wing collapsed, Yang Peng immediately led his troops to surround the center and left wing.
All the horses were withdrawn." "I was chased all the way by the Song army, and in the end I lost more than 700 horse armor, more than 800 infantry armor, and more than a thousand auxiliary soldiers."
After hearing Hu Yuan's words, the nobles of the Liao Kingdom in the Khitan army's tent became agitated and started talking among themselves. Strong crossbows were nothing new. At this time, both the Khitan and Song armies were equipped with strong crossbows, such as Xiao Tianzuo.
Yang Peng's left-wing army has more than 30 strong crossbows, and Xiao Tianyou's right-wing army also has more than 20 strong crossbows. However, Yang Peng's 10,000 troops are equipped with more than 100 strong crossbows. This equipment is too sophisticated, and this firepower is also insufficient.
A bit too fierce.
What would it be like to see more than a hundred powerful crossbows firing in front of the formation? What kind of damage would it cause? The nobles of the Liao Kingdom thought about it and all shuddered.
No wonder Hu Yuan collapsed. Han Derang, who was sitting at the lower left of Xiao Tian, said loudly: "This Yang Peng is indeed brave. Our right-wing army was in Gu'an County's Tunliang Tunbao Hanjiazhuang. In two days, a force carrying a banner with the word Yang was
The Song army captured Hanjiazhuang, losing 300 infantry and 2,600 auxiliary troops. Now it seems that the ones who captured Hanjiazhuang must have been Yang Peng's troops."
The commanders discussed for a while, and finally Zhang Hua stood up and said: "Two generals, we came to the Song Army's belly to plunder the population and supplies, not to quarrel with the Song Army. This Yang Peng army and horse are too powerful. I
It is recommended that you avoid him if you encounter him in the future to avoid unnecessary losses of troops and horses."
The nobles of the Xi tribe were attached to the Liao people, but they were unwilling to use the lives of their own soldiers as a stepping stone for the Liao people's hegemony. Several other nobles of the Xi tribe agreed with Zhang Hua's suggestion and said loudly: "Instead of confronting Yang Peng head-on, it is better to fight more
A county seat, grab a few more cities!" "We can become stronger by grabbing people and materials. A strong army and horses will benefit us, and a head-on confrontation with Yang Peng will be a loss for us. We must not fight to the death with a strong enemy just for the sake of temporary motivation, and lose our troops and generals."
"More than a hundred powerful crossbows are too scary. How many warriors must be lost before we can charge forward?" Seeing the weak evasion of the Xi tribe nobles and foreign vassals, Xiao Tianyou and Handerang looked at each other with great contempt. These Xi tribe people are full of banditry.
, if you can grab a bushel of millet, you will grab a bushel of millet first, without any long-term considerations. No wonder they will be defeated one by one by our Daliao Kingdom and be driven by our Daliao Kingdom.
Hu Yuan looked at the two generals and said: "Two generals, I don't think we can confront Yang Peng head-on. If we see his troops and horses in the future, we will leave! We have many horses, and he can't catch up with us!" Xiao
Tianyou was very dissatisfied with Hu Yuan's weakness and snorted coldly and said: "Fear the enemy like a tiger! Then will I be chased by Yang Peng from now on? Where has the prestige of my Daliao Kingdom gone?"
Hu Yuan said: "To capture this Yang Peng, I don't know how much blood will be shed! I don't think even if the Queen Mother Xiao is here, she will not attack Yang Peng!" Xiao Tianyou retorted: "Hu Yuan, are you being killed by Yang Peng?
Peng is scared. If I meet Yang Peng, I will definitely not be defeated by him!" Han Derang also smiled and said: "Hu Yuan, you have completely destroyed the prestige of my country, the Liao Kingdom!"
Xiao Tianyou shook his head and said: "If this Yang Peng is not eliminated, he will become more powerful. It's better to be late than early. Don't give him every opportunity to defeat us. I think we won't attack Jinan this time. Let's gather our troops to the west."
Go ahead and kill Yang Peng first, then go to the states and counties and slowly plunder them." Xiao Tianzuo touched his pigtails and was silent.
It wasn't until everyone looked at him in the end that Xiao Tianzuo said: "I heard from Xizuo that Yang Peng raised his army with private property. His industries include soap, glass, mirrors, cloth and refined steel. These industries are all concentrated in
Cangzhou Tianjing New City." "If Yang Peng's industries are destroyed, Yang Peng's troops will have no money to support them, and they will all be disbanded!" "Yang Peng is far away in Jinghai now. We sent 40,000 people to Jinghai to hold him back.
Harass him and pester him. Then send 30,000 people to capture Tianjing New City and destroy his foundation! Without his property, he will have nothing to worry about!"
Hearing Xiao Tianzuo's words, all the Xi tribe nobles were stunned, and no one spoke. It took a long time for these nobles to react, and they all said loudly: "The commander has a wonderful plan!" "High! The commander is indeed wise!"
"The general is wise! This is a great plan!" Yang Peng was very anxious after receiving the information from the Jinyi Guards. These Khitans are so cunning. They divided their troops to raid their hometown when they were defeated by them. Now there are only more than 2,000 soldiers defending the new city of Beijing. When encountering three
How can the Wan Khitan Army hold on? If Tianjing New City is captured by the Qing army, its own industry will be completely destroyed. Without industry support, the Huben Division is like a tree without soil, and it will fall apart in a few months.
Yang Peng couldn't wait to fly back to Tianjing New City and immediately resigned from Kou Zhun. Yang Peng left Kou Zhun's army and rushed to Tianjing New City day and night. Jinghai was three hundred miles away from Tianjing New City, and Yang Peng led the army in a hurry.
It only took five days to arrive at Tianjing New City.
Outside Tianjing New City, the Khitan army has been besieging the city for three days. Thirty thousand people surrounded the city on three levels inside and outside, as if it were an iron barrel. Against the crossbows on the city wall, the auxiliary soldiers of the Khitan army followed and pushed the battle
The car filled the trench trap and approached the city wall little by little until they saw Yang Peng's returning reinforcements.
Yang Peng's return troops and horses surprised the Khitan army. The Khitan army hurriedly withdrew their siege equipment, retreated two miles, picked up their swords, and lined up in the north of the city, confronting Yang Peng's troops and horses. Yang Peng's troops
Then he led his troops to the foot of the north wall of the city and joined the two thousand soldiers on the city. In the central tent of the Khitan army, the Xi tribe nobles were very surprised that Yang Peng returned to help, and started arguing over whether to fight or retreat.
Xiao Tianyou had a livid face and looked at the Xi clan nobles who were trying to retreat without saying a word. Zhang Hua said: "General, we originally came to attack Yang Peng's rear. Now that Yang Peng is back, we are here
It's meaningless, it's time to retreat!" Xiao Tianma said: "General, Yang Peng has strong soldiers and horses, plus there are more than 10,000 strong soldiers on the city wall, including the two thousand soldiers and horses, the general must not talk about a decisive battle lightly, and use our flag to fight.
The soldiers died in vain in Tianjing New City!"
Hu Yuan said: "In the beginning, Ye Yi Hongguang relied on many troops to fight, but the Northern Recruitment Envoy was crippled. Now Yang Peng's troops and horses have been tripled. We must not underestimate the enemy!" Xiao Tianyou snorted coldly and spat:
"Then as soon as Yang Peng came, you ran away with your tail between your legs?" Xiao Tianma said loudly: "General! Commander Xiao Tianzuo didn't want to fight Yang Peng to the death, so he came up with this strategy to steal his retreat. Now Yang Peng
Peng returned to help, but the plan failed, so we should return to Mozhou, how could we change our minds midway and fight Yang Peng decisively?"
Hu Yuan also said: "If the general wants to start a war, it will go against the original intention of Commander Feng!" Xiao Tianyou glanced at several Xi tribe nobles coldly, and then looked at his deputy general Han Derang. Han Derang thought for a while and said: "Great general
General, Yang Peng is also a human being, not a monster with three heads and six arms. You don’t need to be so afraid of him. We have thirty thousand people, and I think we can fight! If we don’t dare to fight with so many troops, we won’t be able to enter the fortress and plunder in the future.
Already."
Xiao Tianyou nodded and said: "This is what I, the Daliao warrior, should say!" He stood up and said loudly: "Tomorrow we will have a decisive battle outside Yangpeng City. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!" Several Xi tribe nobles
They looked at each other and turned pale.
The Kingdom of Zhan Jin led two thousand soldiers out of Shangwu Gate, the north gate of Tianjing New City, and joined Yang Peng's troops. The Kingdom of Zhan Jin found Li Yangpeng in the middle of the army and said loudly: "Brother, I'm asking you for help."
It has only been three days since the messenger was sent out. I thought it would take at least half a month for you to arrive, and I was worried that the Khitan soldiers would capture the city this time!"
Yang Peng nodded and said: "By some mistake, the ministers in the DPRK helped me this time. As soon as the Khitan army moved, someone notified me to come back for reinforcements. That's why they came back so quickly!" Yang Peng looked at the outside of the city and saw that it had been filled.
A quarter of the potholes and traps have been removed, and the secret passage cannot be so careless in the future. If only two thousand people are left to defend the city, it will be easy for the Khitans to break through the city. In the future, at least five thousand people must be left to guard the city and forty gates left.
Only with six powerful crossbows can one be foolproof.
However, if 5,000 men were left to defend the city, he would only be able to bring out 7,000 soldiers and horses, which would not be able to withstand the joint attack of tens of thousands of Khitans. After thinking about it, the number of troops is still insufficient, so we still need to expand the army. Let's take a look at the Kingdom of Jin.
Looking at the Khitan army in the distance, he asked: "Brother, I have carefully observed these Khitans with a telescope. There are 10,000 Khitans from the Xi tribe, 15,000 Khitans from the Liao Kingdom, and others from Korea and Han. If they don't leave,
,Are we going to fight these Khitan soldiers?"
Yang Peng looked at the Khitan army in the distance and said: "I don't know what these 30,000 Khitan soldiers are thinking. If they retreat, I will not pursue them. If they dare to come up to challenge, I will fight them once!" Yang Peng
After Peng said this, he ordered two hundred soldiers to go to the south of the city and drove away hundreds of Khitan soldiers in the pig farm. These days, the Khitan soldiers felt that the soldiers were safe when they invaded the territory, so they thought they could slowly eat the pigs in the pig farm.
The pigs did not damage the pig farm. There was a large amount of pig food piled up in the pig farm warehouse, and the Khitan left hundreds of auxiliary soldiers in the pig farm to feed and kill the pigs.
Thirty thousand Khitan soldiers occupied the pig farm, eating meat with open stomachs, and killed a thousand pigs in three days. As soon as Yang Peng's two hundred musketeers arrived, the auxiliary soldiers who occupied the pig farm dispersed. Yang Peng finished processing the pigs.
After attending the meeting, Yang Paifeng walked into the city. Yang Paifeng was waiting anxiously in front of the official hall. As soon as he saw Zhang Xiang, Yang Paifeng threw himself into Zhang Xiang's arms and cried non-stop.
On December 8, only 10,000 Kou Zhun's army remained in Dingzhou. The morning was particularly cold, and thick clouds covered the sun, making everything dark. Last night, the scouts reported that Khitan troops were all around.
Riding, it was obvious that most of the Khitan army was about to kill them. Kou Zhun stayed up all night. As he tossed and turned in the middle of the night, he saw countless iron horses and glaciers in his mind, and also saw all the past in his life: he saw that he had been burning the midnight oil since he was a child.
He read at night and recited the saint's words; he saw how he got up early every day as a child to practice bow and horse; he saw his deceased father, and saw his father dancing with joy when he was named a high school Jinshi on the gold medal list, taking him with him
He saw himself returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors; he saw how proud he was when he accumulated 200,000 shi of millet in Xuanda and was rewarded by officials; he saw himself in the court and chased him in the mountains of Yunyang.
Killing and suppressing rebels, looking like they were covered in blood.
The past events were like a picture scroll, appearing in his mind one by one. He couldn't sleep no matter what, so he got up before dawn. As soon as he got up, he faintly heard the sound of military horses galloping outside the military camp.
"Chen An! What's going on outside?" Chen An ran over in a panic, knelt down and shouted: "Sir, we are surrounded by Khitan troops on all sides!"
Kou Zhun closed his eyes, then opened them after a while and asked: "How many Khitan soldiers are there?" Chen An said loudly: "There are more than 30,000 Khitan soldiers!" With 30,000 Khitan soldiers, what about the remaining 10,000 of his own?
Can it be blocked? Kou Zhun retreated to the Chinese army's tent and sat on a chair to think about countermeasures. Slowly, the sergeants woke up. They all knew that their army had been surrounded by the Khitan army, and they all gathered at the Chinese army's tent.
People around the big tent looked anxiously at the big tent, hoping that Master Kou could come up with countermeasures.
Kou Zhun sighed when he saw more and more people gathered outside. He walked out of the tent and looked at the 10,000 bewildered young soldiers, and couldn't help but shed two tears on his face. These were all following him all the way.
The strong soldiers who dared to kill the Khitan are the essence and blood of the country, but today they are going to die in Dingzhou. Now the enemy is rushing to the west, the reinforcements are separated from the east, and the big boss is obstructing everything. Today, this is the place where the bones are buried.
...
Kou Zhun shook the front of his filial piety uniform and knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes. He knelt down to the soldiers around him and said, "I and your soldiers share the blessings of the court. We must not worry about death, but we must not worry about life." Ten thousand people knelt down and watched blankly.
In front of the big tent, Kou Zhun, the Jin Ziguanglu doctor, was silent. For a long time, the soldiers gradually burst into tears. In the end, no one dared to look up to Kou Zhun. Ten thousand people gritted their teeth and said:
"Fight with the Khitan!" "Kill the slaves to serve the country!" "We will die here with you!" "We will die here with you!" Kou Zhun shouted loudly: "Guan Yu beheaded, Ma Yuan was wrapped in leather.
It’s time!” “Break out the stronghold and fight to the death with the Khitans!” Guan Yu beheaded and Ma Yuan is wrapped in leather, it’s now!” “Break out the stronghold and fight to the death with the Khitans!”
Yang Peng was riding on his horse, looking at the Khitan army arrayed in the distance, silently. The Khitan army in front of him seemed to be hesitating whether to attack Yang Peng, and had been forming a camp outside the city for a day without taking any action. If Yang Peng
If they retreat into the city, the Tatars will definitely not be able to capture the city and will have to leave. But in that case, the pig farms and other peripheral facilities will be destroyed by the Tatars, not to mention the houses of the surrounding people, all of which will suffer.
This time, the Khitan army headed straight from Mozhou City to Tianjing New City. They just wanted to capture Yang Peng's lair as quickly as possible. They didn't even have time to cause damage along the way. The buildings in the villages and towns around Tianjing New City were still intact. Yang Peng was there
By confronting the Khitan soldiers outside the city, the property of the surrounding people could be saved. When he saw the villages near the pig farm, Yang Peng burned with anger.
Yang Peng angrily raised his sword and shouted loudly: "The law of heaven is not enough, I will wait for ordinary men to make up for it! The whole army marches forward, kill the Khitan dogs and avenge the people!" "Kill the Khitan dogs!" Hear Yang Peng's roar of killing the Khitan dogs.
, 12,000 tiger soldiers followed and shouted, their voices getting louder and louder.
"Kill the Khitan dogs!" "Kill the Khitan dogs!" "Kill the Khitan dogs!!"
The roars of more than 10,000 people resounded throughout the countryside. How had the Khitan army two miles away seen such momentum? They didn't know why the Ming and Song armies were suddenly so powerful that they all panicked. Yang Peng's reputation was already far-reaching.
Outside the fortress, at this time, the soldiers are so desperate that they are sure to win. How can ordinary people stop it?
Khitan Hu Yuan was very panicked when he saw Master Hu Ben approaching. He took advantage of Xiao Tianyou who was in the formation and did not pay attention. He rode his horse and fled towards his own troops and horses. When he arrived at his own troops and horses, Hu Yuan shouted, "Follow me."
I'm running away." In a cloud of smoke and dust, Hu Yuan fled with his Khitan soldiers. Five hundred soldiers of the Khitan army went out to chase the deserters, but they could not stop the deserters' horses. After chasing for a while, they turned back helplessly.
Yang Peng's 12,000 Hu Ben divisions formed a square formation, lined up 140 powerful crossbows in front, and attacked the more than 20,000 Khitan soldiers unstoppably.
Hu Yuan's escape obviously caused chaos in the Khitan army. Xiao Tianyou began to suspect that other Xi tribe generals around him rose up and sent their personal guards back to surround the Chinese army, making a gesture to prevent the Xi tribe nobles from escaping. This kind of gesture
They did not trust the arrangement of the Xi tribe people, which made the Xi tribe nobles turn pale with anger.
After Yang Peng's soldiers and horses were escorted a mile away, Xiao Tianyou stabilized his position and ordered the entire army to advance towards Yang Peng's Huben Division. Military flags were waved and horns were blown, and more than 20,000 Khitan troops stretched for several miles, howling loudly.
, rushed towards Yang Peng's phalanx. Xiao Tianyou used some tricks when setting up the formation, letting the 15,000 soldiers of the Xi tribe rush in front, and let the soldiers of the Daliao Kingdom follow behind.
"Kill the Khitan dogs!" From a distance of 250 meters, Yang Peng's one hundred and forty powerful crossbows were shot with long arrows. More than a thousand bows and arrows were a thousand gods of death, shooting at the Khitan soldiers whose hands were full of blood. Blood flowers.
Like the judges' fireworks, they bloomed one after another on the bodies of the Khitan soldiers in the front row, forming a single piece. Those long arrows were able to pierce through two layers of Tatar bodies, causing tragic killings to the Tatars in the front row.
With just one shot, one hundred and forty powerful crossbows killed more than a thousand Khitan soldiers. The front of the formation was filled with blood and mutilated limbs in an instant, and mutilated corpses were everywhere. The Khitan soldiers were hit hard.
Everyone panicked. Their feet were trembling and the soles of their feet were weak, so they slowed down their charge.
Xiao Tianyou of the Chinese Army had known that he would be hit hard by the powerful crossbows of the Song Army, but seeing the tragic situation after being hit by the arrows with his own eyes still shocked him: the soldiers in the front row two miles wide on the battlefield were almost completely wiped out, and nearly 30,000 people were killed.
In front of the charging formation, a hole was made alive. The scene of blood flying everywhere was like a massacre. Xiao Tianyou gritted his teeth, reached into his skirt with his right hand, and subconsciously pinched his thigh, pinching his thigh blue.
Didn't even notice.
The Khitan soldiers, who were lucky enough not to be hit by the shotguns, finally walked fifty meters and rushed within the firing range of the Huben division's rifles. The front of the square array was now in a three-stage attack formation, and each row on the front had a thousand soldiers.
When the trembling Khitan army entered the two-hundred-meter shooting range, the roars of the soldiers of the Huben Division rang out one after another.
"Kill the Khitan dogs!" "Kill the Khitan dogs!!"
A thousand soldiers of the Huben Division shouted to kill the slaves, aimed at the Khitan army and pressed the trigger. Amidst the crackling sounds of gunfire, flintlock rifles spit out tongues of flame, and thick fog emerged in front of the Huben Division's formation. In front of the Khitan army
The Xi Tatars in the row were like straw cut by a sickle, falling down one by one. After the soldiers in the front row finished shooting, they withdrew from the right. The soldiers in the back row were already ready to go and stepped forward to stand in front.
Platoon, start the second shooting.
"Kill the Khitan dogs!" "Kill the Khitan dogs!!"
There was another crackle of gunfire, and the Khitan soldiers of the Xi tribe fell into a pool of blood one after another, like cannon fodder used to fill up the death zone in front of the formation. The two hundred meters in front of the formation turned into a morgue.
The field was filled with dead bodies in various postures. Some of the Khitan soldiers who were not dead screamed loudly, twitched, and pressed their wounds hard to try to stop the bleeding. Some Khitan soldiers with broken arms and legs even staggered around looking for their own bodies.
The severed limbs turned the front of the battle into a miserable Shura hell.
But the soldiers of the Huben Division were still shooting angrily.
"Kill the Khitan dogs!" "Kill the Khitan dogs!!" Seeing Master Hu Ben approaching, he was very panicked. He took advantage of Xiao Tianyou who was in the formation and didn't pay attention, so he rode his horse and fled towards his own troops. When his troops arrived
Horse place.
Lin Qing'er and Mrs. She watched on the city wall as Yang Peng led Zhang Xiang, Zhanjin Kingdom, Huyan Chijin, Yang Bamei and the others were fighting with the Khitan soldiers. They were already filled with emotion. Mrs. She said, ""Yang Jiajun
He is alive again. Yang Jiajun is alive again. They are all my children, and they are all good children, haha."
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
