"Hahaha, I didn't write this!" Yang Peng didn't dare to take the honor that belonged to him, so he quickly interrupted: "Why do you have time to come out? I asked you to practice archery. How is the situation?" It turns out that this time, All captured were the most exquisite hand crossbows of the Song Dynasty. Because the number of hand crossbows suddenly increased, Yang Peng used this kind of hand crossbow as a charge equipment, so all team members must master hand crossbows.
While you can't equip everyone with a hand crossbow these days, it never hurts to have a weapon at your disposal. Especially for his communications class, in addition to two teenagers, there are six female soldiers, so his requirements are even stricter. "Of course we can't compete with you. However, our right-hand shooting has absolutely no problem within 50 meters!" Qin Yuefang heard Yang Peng ask about shooting training, and quickly explained: "If we have some support, the shooting range should be able to reach About 60 meters.”
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Haha, as far as I know, there are many female heroes who can shoot left and right. It seems that you have to work hard!" The three of them were joking when the sentry at the foot of the mountain suddenly came back and reported: "Zhang Yan is back. , saying there is an emergency report!" Yang Peng became anxious upon hearing this, because Zhang Yan could not return suddenly without special circumstances. When he returned to the headquarters, Zhang Yan rushed in not long after.
Zhang Yan didn't have time to breathe, so he hurriedly said: "Captain, our store suddenly received an anonymous letter last night, saying that Fei Yanzi was trapped in the mountains east of Yingzhou and couldn't get out. It's been more than half a month, I don't know. Dead or alive! I hope we can go to the rescue for the sake of old friends! I came out overnight and finally arrived now."
The strange letter asking for help that Zhang Yan brought back turned out to be from "Feiyanzi" who had never had direct contact with him before, and it was the news that Feiyanzi was besieged by the Khitan army. The establishment of Huasheng Garment Store has not taken long until now. Moreover, Yang Peng stipulated that no one could practice with Zhang Yan, so how did the owner of this letter know the relationship between the two?
With this doubt, Yang Peng opened the letter and read it and said: "You go and have a rest now and have something to eat. I will discuss it with a few people before we talk." It didn't take long for Shi Liancheng to call all the deputy squad leaders and above. Come in. "Brothers, just now Zhang Yan sent a letter asking for help. Let's take a look first!" Yang Peng handed the letter to everyone for circulation, and then continued: "Because it is an anonymous letter, there are several possibilities. The first thing is to understand , how did this person know about the relationship between Huasheng Garment Store and us? Zhang Yan, tell me."
"Captain, was someone following me when I was delivering the goods?" Zhang Yan couldn't tell clearly: "We are usually in the store and rarely go out. Externally, Wu Dehua and Dong Hongsheng are the ones who contact us. Normally, no one should know. That's right. After we received this letter last night, we were very surprised, so we hurriedly sent it over." "Captain, I think this letter is probably true." Cheng Shijie continued: "If the Khitans want to find us Revenge, since they know this place, they should have surrounded us a long time ago. There is no need to do anything extra! Besides, Fei Yanzi and the others can move around, and they should have their spies in Yingzhou."
"Cheng Shijie is right!" Duan Zhixian also nodded and said: "The person who sent the letter obviously knew our relationship with Feiyanzi, otherwise he would not have let us rescue him." "Since everyone has this idea, then we can't see death. No rescue!" Yang Peng nodded: "But we have to be prepared! We set off in two ways. I will take the lead on the first way, and I will follow after falling behind for three hours on the second way. According to our skiing speed, from One night is enough to get here to the east of Tieling."
"I will lead Zhang Xiang's first class and the crossbow class to set off in the afternoon. The second and third classes will be commanded by Cheng Shijie. They will set off in the evening. The communications class will look after the house! The cooking class will prepare dry food immediately. The more the better. Feiyanzi Since we are trapped, we probably have nothing to eat." "We are heavily armed and cannot cross Yingzhou directly. The specific route is to go northeast to Gaoying, then turn northwest through Jiahe, and go straight to Jiemo Ridge. When we get there Only then can we know the specific situation, and now no one knows where dozens of them are hiding.”
"I don't agree with the captain's arrangement!" Zhao Jinxi was the first to come out and sing the opposite: "As the saying goes, rescuing troops is like putting out fires. Speed is the key. When it comes to skiing skills, no class can compare with our communications class! If anyone is not convinced, now Just go out and compete! Since we have to pay attention to the speed of rescuing people, which of you has the advantage of our communication class? Fei Yanzi is also a female generation, are we inferior? This is simply unreasonable!"
Zhao Jinxi chattered a lot and seemed to be still angry. He gave Yang Peng another hard look and then closed his mouth. Several other squad leaders did not dare to say anything. On the one hand, the communication class in skiing was originally a coach. On the other hand, issues between the communications monitor and captain are always taboo issues. It's better to talk less and watch the show better to avoid getting into trouble! Just these two people, no one here can afford to offend them, unless you want to make yourself uncomfortable.
Zhao Jinxi's point of view is reasonable and Yang Peng has no room to refute. In fact, deep down in his heart, he didn't look down on girls, but he didn't want to see the girls around him in danger, but he couldn't say this excuse. In desperation, he had no choice but to nod and agree to join the first echelon of the communication class.
After a lot of fuss, Zhang Xiang's class 1 and Zhao Jinxi's communications class were ready, and the first batch of dry food for the cooking class was also brought to them. Bai Shujie had no choice but to order the cooking team again to keep an eye on the secret camp before ordering the team to set off. Fortunately, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and there was not even a ghost in the barren mountains and mountains. Therefore, Yang Peng could be fully armed in broad daylight and rush through the city in a swaggering manner. This is my first time skiing. It seems to be going in an arc, but the speed is extremely fast. In the evening, they had crossed Yingzhou and arrived at Hada at the foot of Jiemo Ridge.
Yang Peng asked Zhang Xiang to take people to the town to inquire about the situation. He and the other soldiers found a mountain nest to take shelter from the wind and rest. After Zhang Xiang led two soldiers into Hada Town not far behind him, they found an inn and got in. I ordered a plate of braised beef and a plate of peanuts, and two pots of roasted knives, and the two soldiers pretended to drink.
Seeing that there was no movement, Zhang Xiang asked the shopkeeper: "I heard from the front that the mountain is not peaceful these days. Shopkeeper, we have an emergency to go to Yanling. I don't know if we can climb through Jiemoling now." Past?"
"Old man, this is not easy to say!" the shopkeeper said in a low voice: "Yesterday, some Khitan people entered the mountain from here. It is said that they came from Xintun. There were more than thirty people, all with long swords and bows and arrows. . We haven’t seen them come out yet! I advise you to wait until they withdraw before leaving.”
"So that's it, I'm so anxious!" Zhang Xiang took out a piece of silver and threw it on the table, and then said: "Thank you, shopkeeper. I'm going to go back immediately and tell my boss that I'll stay for two days before leaving!" Returning to the mountain nest In the phone, Zhang Xiang told the truth what he heard. Yang Peng and the soldiers had also eaten dry food, and then they ordered to put on their skis and set off immediately along the ridge.
This search lasted until midnight. Just when they couldn't figure out the direction, they vaguely saw a light in the mountain col due to the north. Yang Peng took the lead and walked in that direction. After half an hour of arduous trek, he finally reached the top of a mountain.
Yang Peng stretched his head and looked down. It turned out that there were five or six fires in the ravine. Each fire was surrounded by four or five people warming themselves up, with long knives on their backs. On both sides of the fire, there were three mobile sentries moving around. This hilltop is less than 80 meters away from the Khitan army! "Shh! Here is the Khitan army!" Yang Peng retracted his head and whispered behind him: "Everyone, be careful not to make any noise, or alert the Khitan dogs! Zhang Xiang, send someone to the bottom of the mountain to pick up Cheng Shijie and the others. They should be quick. Are you here?"
"Yin Mingde, your crossbow squad went back to the left. Did you see there is a large protruding rock there, about three hundred meters away from the Khitan army. Your crossbows are lying in ambush there. When we start fighting here, you Just shoot and drive the Khitans out of the ravine!"
After Yin Mingde, Xiang Danian and Fan Longtao left, Yang Peng said to Jin Guo: "Pick out a few warriors with good archery skills and prepare to deal with the guy below with the command knife and the crossbow next to him. !The rest are ready to fight!”
More than an hour later, it was almost two o'clock in the morning, and Cheng Shijie's large army arrived! "Duan Zhixian's third squad followed me and went around to the ridge on the opposite side. Zhang Xiang, you are commanding here. When you hear us shooting on the opposite side, start shooting! Don't rush down and drive the Khitan army out along the ravine. We Chase down the mountain ridge!"
After more than two hours of long-distance detours, Bai Shujie and the others finally arrived at the opposite side. It's already four o'clock in the morning. According to the human biological clock, now is the most tiring time. When Duan Zhixian dispersed the team, Bai Shujie smashed his right fist down and shouted: "Arrow!" Duan Zhixian aimed at the mobile whistle and fired the first arrow! In an instant, violent arrows sounded from the top of the mountain ridge and ravine on the opposite side. Especially the two crossbows at the top of the ravine, shooting down the ravine, it's like shooting in a straight line! Surrounded on three sides, the typical strategy of surrounding three and missing one, the Khitan army was immediately in chaos!
There is no way to fight back now, and we don't know how many enemies there are. The Khitan army immediately extinguished the fire, whether it was a trap or not, and retreated along the ravine. As soon as Yang Peng saw the Khitan army's movement, he drew his crossbow and chased it down the mountain ridge. At the same time, he shouted: "Kill the Khitan dog! Brothers, come with me!" Zhang Xiang, who was on the opposite side, also took the medicine according to the prescription, and led the soldiers to chase down the mountain ridge while shouting. Yin Mingde and the others were not idle either. After changing their arrow clips, they picked up the crossbow and rushed out of the ravine!
Escape and chase are all about foot strength. However, Yang Peng adopted an expulsion strategy. They did not want to eat all the Khitan troops, but they wanted to drive them out! So when they saw the Khitan army running forward desperately, they also shouted leisurely behind them.
The bow and arrow shooting was like a charge, and in the middle there were five machine crossbows that could kill people and took turns firing. Don't worry about whether you can kill people. Twenty dozen hand crossbows and several machine crossbows fire at the same time. Just the terrifying sound of continuous shooting can scare many people to death in the middle of the night! This kind of fighting style was not comparable to that of the later "Ming Army". What matters is a momentum, a momentum that scares people!
Yang Peng believes that destroying an enemy with one arrow is the sacred realm of war. You can pursue it, but you can't demand it. Being able to guarantee the destruction of an enemy with a hundred arrows would make him laugh out of his dreams! The Khitan army could not figure out the reality and how many large troops were surrounding them. Apart from breaking out, I can't think of any good ideas at the moment!
Finally at dawn, the Khitan army was driven out of Hada Town. Of course Yang Peng couldn't let the Khitan army stay here, so he asked some soldiers to put on their skis and go around to the front of the Khitan army to carry out a pincer attack!
Just like that, the soldiers in front started fighting, and the soldiers behind skied around to the front and waited. When the Khitan army came over, they were hit with a volley of arrows! The two sides always maintained a distance of 30 to 50 meters, and the Khitan army could not reach them. Moreover, there are always five machine crossbows pointing at the back. If you don’t run, you will be waiting to die!
Seeing that they had chased for more than 20 miles from Hada, Yang Peng ordered to stop the pursuit. The communications squad and the crossbow squad were left on alert, while the other two squads returned to clean the battlefield while looking for the people they wanted to rescue.
It was not until noon that the battlefield was cleared. In this pursuit, a total of 19 Khitan people were killed and 17 broadswords, bows and arrows were seized. 1,706 bows and arrows and other items were found from Khitan. Of course, it is necessary to take off the Khitan people's fur coats, cotton clothes, trousers and shoes. Zhou Dayong looked at the trophies in front of him and cursed his mother in anger: "Damn it! The Khitans are so stingy, they didn't even leave me the crossbow or arrow box!"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "The Khitan people don't know anything but they know how to rob other things besides cattle and sheep. They want nothing. Of course they are stingy. You see, we killed 19 people, but in the end we only had 17 swords. It shows that the Khitan people The knives have all been taken away. Do you still want the crossbow? There is no way! If we hadn’t chased you quickly, you wouldn’t even have gotten these!”
The soldiers tied up the trophies and carried them separately. Then they heated up the kettle's water, grilled the mutton, and ate some dry food on the fire that the Khitan army had not completely extinguished last night. Then they dispersed in squad units and started searching all the way north. There is snow all over the mountains and plains, without any trace. I don't know where there is a cave, so I can only look for it slowly from hill to hill. Fortunately, the soldiers all have skis, so it is not too difficult to cross the mountains. When the sky gradually darkened, the Dananshan area east of Yingzhou was searched.
Yang Peng was getting more and more anxious, because further west was the land price of Youzhou, where there was a Khitan brigade and an iron ore guard team! If you hit him head-on, isn't that asking for death? However, now that you are here, you cannot give up halfway. Finally, I bit the bullet and searched to the northeast side of Danan Mountain. Not far ahead was a mountain rush.
Just at this moment, there was an arrow sound coming from the front, and then the sound of a crossbow was heard: "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The crossbow is shooting arrows, which means that the crossbow shooter has found a clear target and is hitting it hard! "Advance in a skirmish line, follow me!" Yang Peng shouted, taking the lead in rushing forward. Soon we reached the top of the mountain peak we just saw. Looking down, it turned out that the sound of arrows was halfway up the mountain!
"Zhang Xiang led the first and second squads down the ridge on the left. The crossbow squad and the third squad followed me down the right ridge. The communications squad was responsible for battlefield security. Move quickly, covertly engage the enemy, and attack freely!" Yang Peng ordered After finishing, the leader ran down.
Let’s talk about Feiyan later. As time enters the end of October, the weather becomes colder and colder, and the demand for charcoal increases significantly. In order to further increase production, Yingzhou Qianjin Village colluded with Da Datou and captured a large number of local refugees from the west of Yingzhou to Shanhaiguan.
I don’t know what happened to this news, so Fei Yanzi found out. She immediately led her men to rob the carriage in the Gaotaizi area. Although a group of people were rescued, they were entangled by the Khitan Chalin team. The strange thing is that these Chaling teams are completely different from the past. Not only are their arrows accurate, but they are also fearless of death!
The Khitan army at Hushitai was notified of the situation and learned that they had captured Fei Yanzi, who had always been against Daliao, and immediately sent a hundred-man Khitan army to intercept it. Feiyanzi was unable to return to the south and was forced to retreat all the way to the northeast. Later, Yingzhou's centurions dispatched a small team to encircle them. Under attack from three sides by the enemy, Fei Yanzi could only retreat to Jiemo Ridge. Just when she was about to take a detour to the southeast to break through, Youzhou's centurions surrounded her and blocked her way.
As soon as the two hairs came into contact, five of Fei Yanzi's sisters died. They had no choice but to turn around and retreat to the northeast, and were finally blocked in a mountain rush on the northeast side of Danan Mountain.
These words sound simple. Only the parties involved know how many thrilling battles there were in the process. However, now that they are blocked in the canyon, Fei Yanzi and her sisters have all their chances of survival cut off! The Khitan army may also be afraid that they will fight to the death, so they did not rush to attack, but surrounded them without attacking. As long as Fei Yanzi does not break through, the Khitan army will not shoot arrows. If this stalemate continues, Feiyan will starve to death! freeze to death! Today, Feiyanzi's sisters have not eaten or drank for three days, and finally decided to fight to the death!
It is said that Yang Peng rushed down the mountain ridge with his crossbow squad and Duan Zhixian's third squad. When we reached the mountainside, we heard the sound of crossbow shooting not far away. Yang Peng waved his hand back, then leaned forward and touched forward. After walking about two hundred meters, I finally saw a crossbow team of the Little Devils. Three Khitan men controlled a crossbow.
Yang Peng opened the heads of both hand crossbows, took a deep breath, then suddenly jumped out, came behind the Khitan people, and shot three arrows in a row! "Duan Zhixian, control the crossbow immediately!" Yang Peng ordered and continued to touch down the canyon. Not far away, I heard the sound of a crossbow in front of me again. He took a closer look and found out that the Khitans occupied half of the mountain ridges on both sides and arranged crossbows on two levels to block the attack.
From this point of view, the Khitan army should have four machine crossbows. There are two towers on the east side and there should be two towers on the west side, thus locking the entire canyon. Thinking of this, Yang Peng became more careful and slid down step by step. Finally, fifty meters later, I saw another crossbow group below my feet. Still three Khitans and one machine crossbow.
At this moment, the sound of arrows rang out from the Xishan Liang opposite. The Khitan man at Yang Peng's feet was stunned for a moment, and his hand crossbows shot at the same time! At the same time, his body jumped down, just on the crossbow position. Regardless of whether the Khitans are dead or not, each guy takes one more stab.
Sure enough, once the crossbow stopped, there was no sound of arrows in the entire Dongshan Liang. Yang Peng put away his hand crossbow, picked up the machine crossbow, and fired two long bursts at the machine crossbow at the bottom of the Xishan Liang! As soon as Yang Peng fired an arrow, Duan Zhixian's machine crossbow and the two machine crossbows in the machine crossbow class also fired at the machine crossbow in Xishan Liang!
Zhang Xiang wasn't just for a living. Seeing that all the arrows fired from Dongshan Liang were aimed at the crossbows of the Khitan army, he knew that Yang Peng and the others had succeeded. With a quick charge, he knocked out the last crossbow of the Khitan army!
All of a sudden, the Khitan army was in chaos! All their large forces were near the entrance of the valley, and all the commanding heights on both sides were lost!
Yang Peng heard that the crossbow on the opposite side had also become mute, and knew that the last moment had come. He took a deep breath and shouted to Xishan Liang: "Brothers, the Khitan dogs are in the valley below. Charge with me and drive the Khitan army out!"
The firepower of the four crossbows was suddenly increased, and the density of arrows on the mountain ridges on both sides suddenly increased more than ten times! The soldiers of the Song Dynasty's anti-corruption team had experience in the previous pursuit battle, and they were even more familiar with it this time. While releasing a row of arrows, they shouted wildly.
Nine machine crossbows opened a path along the mountain ridges on both sides, and more than twenty hand crossbows fired continuous arrows to ensure that the machine crossbows changed arrows. The two Khitan teams were immediately overwhelmed. Without any orders from the commander, they all exited the valley in droves.
It's ready now! Zhang Xiang led four machine crossbows on the left, and Bai Shujie had five machine crossbows on the right. The Khitan army withdrew from the mouth of the valley, still unable to stand and could only continue to retreat.
When the enemy retreats, I will pursue him! Yang Peng would never forget this tactic even if he fell asleep! The scene in Hada Town continues to be staged here! However, this time Yang Peng is serious! The nine machine crossbows were spread out in one word, and that was no joke. Especially when chasing the enemy's ass, the nine-armed crossbow never gives the enemy a chance to turn around! Just like this, we chased the duck all the way, and soon we chased it for more than ten miles! The Khitan army was beaten with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood flowed!
If a small team of the Khitan army was able to chase down a battalion of the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, now Yang Peng and the nine of them can chase more than a hundred Khitan soldiers to the sky and nowhere! I just wish my parents had lost two legs!
After chasing for more than twenty miles, Yang Peng and the others almost ran out of arrows, and then they stopped with anger. Nine crossbows were on standby, and Zhang Xiang directed three squads of soldiers to clean up the battlefield. The harvest this time is much greater! During the pursuit, a total of 69 Khitans were killed and 75 swords, bows and arrows were seized! Including the 12 on the crossbow position, 81 Khitan people were killed before and after!
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
