Toyosu. Ten miles away from Fengzhou City. Yang Dezheng is lurking here with his Renaissance Army. Three days ago. Yang Dezheng planned an overall situation two hundred miles away. This bureau was designed very successfully. He and Fan Long successfully led the cavalry of the Yeqi tribe and the original garrison of Fengzhou City to one place. Under his plan, the cavalry of the Yeqi tribe and the garrison of Fengzhou City fought together.
After the First World War, both sides suffered heavy losses. Yang Dezheng also took this opportunity to lead a thousand revival troops under his command to escape the enemy's siege. Yang Dezheng, who escaped, rushed to Fengzhou City according to his private agreement with the Fuxing Army. According to Yang Dezheng's plan, after the Renaissance Army dispersed, in addition to sneak attacks to weaken the Yeqi tribe's troops, they also had to rush to Fengzhou City and raid Fengzhou City in fifteen days.
Then with the help of the city wall, Ye Qiganbo was defeated. At this moment, the army gathered around Yang Dezheng had gathered to about 15,000 people. And after these fifteen days of guerrilla warfare, these people are full of cunning and toughness. This aura is completely different from the previous Renaissance Army.
It can be said that after these fifteen days of training, the soldiers of the Renaissance Army have been tempered, both physically and mentally, and have begun to transform into warriors. It is worth noting that after fifteen days of hard work, many of the positions of captains originally appointed by Yang Dezheng have been changed.
During this ordeal, the generals of the Zhejia Army successfully replaced the generals of the original Fuxing Army and gradually took control of the troops. No one seemed dissatisfied with this. Party members all admire the strong. The wisdom displayed by the Zhe family army on the battlefield easily convinced them.
Back to business. According to Yang Dezheng's plan, today is the time for them to attack Fengzhou City, but looking at the current posture of the Renaissance Army, it seems more like they are holding back. I have no other reason. When Yang Dezheng led his troops to attack Fengzhou City, he suddenly discovered that there was a group of troops coming from the east who seemed to have the same intention as them.
Yang Dezheng immediately ordered the entire army to lurk. Then send people out to find out the truth. An hour had passed since the time when the scouts were sent out, and the scouts who were sent out hurried back. The scouts were led by Fan Long, who was extremely quiet and restless. After Fan Long returned to the place where the army was lurking, Yang Dezheng greeted him.
"Are you clear?" Fan Long waved his hand and said nothing. He held an old earthen jar on the table and drank half of the jar of cold water. "Huh~" After heaving a sigh of relief, Shang Qingzi said, "I found out that this group of people who suddenly appeared and wanted to attack Fengzhou City seems to be the Liao Army."
Yang Dezheng turned to look at a general of the Zhe family army, his meaning was self-evident. The general of the Zhejia Army pondered: "As far as I know, the Liao army closest to here should be Guo Da's tribe in Shengzhou. This man's ancestors are also considered to be rare loyal. Later, when his family fell into trouble, he surrendered to Xiao Xiao of the Liao Kingdom. The family has become the lackey of the Xiao family."
When Yang Dezheng heard this, he immediately guessed what Guo Da was planning.
"This guy named Guo wants to take advantage of the situation. He wants to capture Fengzhou and increase his weight in the Xiao family. It's really a good plan." Fan Long asked: "The Liao people suddenly intervened. What should we do?" Yang Dezheng He smiled and said: "The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind him. He wants to be a fisherman, so let's be the oriole once. Watching the Liao people and the wild beggars wandering around. When they both lose, we will go out and take advantage."
Yang Dezheng immediately ordered: "Send the order and order the whole army to act in concealment, and not to expose the whereabouts and spoil the important matter. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed." After hearing the order, the generals of the Zhejia Army immediately went down to execute it. Although there are many of them, they are really hard to find if they really want to hide. After fifteen days of training, everyone has figured out a lot of hiding skills. After placing the army, Yang Dezheng said to Fan Long: "Let's go and watch the battle."
Yang Dezheng and Fan Long led a small team and quietly approached Fengzhou City. After they arrived outside Fengzhou City. Then they saw Guo Da leading the Liao army to the gates of Fengzhou City. The four gates of Fengzhou City were closed tightly, and the atmosphere was very depressing. There were no soldiers and horses from the Yeqi tribe on the city walls. There are only a few thousand people.
Compared with the Liao army under the city, it looked very weak. "Why is the defense of Fengzhou City so weak?" Fan Long frowned. Yang Dezheng said softly: "Most of the soldiers and horses of the Yeqi tribe have come to pursue us. Naturally, there are not many soldiers and horses in Fengzhou City." Fan Long said in a deep voice: "Doesn't that mean that the Liao people will easily take over? Going to Fengzhou City?" Yang Dezheng pondered: "That's not necessarily the case. The Liao army under Guo Da's department does look like a strong army under Guo Da's training. But after all, it is not the elite of the Liao army, so its equipment is a bit weak.
Although there were not many soldiers and horses on Fengzhou City, there was no need to show panic when facing Guo Da's Liao army. It should be something to rely on. Although I don’t know what this reliance is. " Fan Long said solemnly: "It stands to reason that since Guo Da has voted for the Xiao family, he should not be short of equipment..." Yang Dezheng rolled his eyelids and said: "The Liao people are short of iron..." Fan Long frowned and said: "The Liao people are short of iron." There are many iron ore deposits in the country. Yang Dezheng was stunned and said with a smile: "The Liao people's mining skills and iron-making skills are very primitive, and even their forging skills are very primitive." Therefore, for the Liao people, it was better to buy iron from the Song Dynasty than to smelt iron themselves.
Of course, now that there is no Yanyun Sixteenth State, there is even more shortage. Fan Long asked: "Why do you know so much?" Yang Dezheng smiled and said: "Because in Daizhou, I found several generals doing weapons business with the Liao people." Inferred from this. Fan Long was stunned and asked, "Why didn't you stop it?" "
Yang Dezheng shook his head and smiled, "What's the use of stopping it? The court is turning a blind eye, so why should I offend others? Besides, even if I stop it, what can I do? Daizhou won't let others sell it. They can also be sold from other places. Instead of that, it is better to let them sell it in Daizhou, and I can get some tax money from it." Fan Long wanted to ask a question, but was rudely interrupted by Yang Dezheng. "Stop talking, there is something going on in Fengzhou City."
Fan Long looked toward Fengzhou City and saw movement. Facing the pressure of Guo Da's army, Fengzhou City actually opened its east gate. "Rumble~" A shaking sound came from the gate of Fengzhou City. Immediately afterwards, a hundred riders were seen outside Fengzhou City. As soon as these hundred knights appeared, everyone who saw them took a breath of air. Each cavalryman is like an iron tower giant, wrapped in armor and very tall.
In their hands, they dragged Yanyue knives made of fine steel. The war horses under their crotches seemed to have been carefully selected. They were particularly tall and wore armor. A hundred riders stood there, lacking the aura of thousands of troops marching ahead. "Hiss~" Yang Dezheng first took a breath of air, and then said ecstatically: "Heavy armored cavalry?" Yang Dezheng seemed to have a special preference for heavy armored cavalry.
After arriving in the northwest, Yang Dezheng's hobby was infinitely magnified. Fan Long was not infected by Yang Dezheng's ecstasy. After seeing the heavy armored cavalry appearing in Fengzhou City, he raised his eyebrows. "It's them..." Yang Dezheng turned around and asked, "Do you know them?" Fan Long nodded, shook his head and said, "We don't really know each other, we just fought against each other before."
Yang Dezheng asked: "How is your strength?" Fan Long said thoughtfully: "One on one, you are no match for me..." Yang Dezheng couldn't help but rolled his eyes. As for Fan Long's martial arts skills, he could find them in the Song Dynasty. The opponent will never be more than a slap in the face. Fan Long understood Yang Dezheng's thoughts through Yang Dezheng's rolling eyes.
He mused: "If they come together, I won't be their opponent. It's hard to tell if they fight against the Liao army from Guo Da's tribe." Yang Dezheng asked curiously: "How come it's hard to tell?" Fan Long rolled his eyes and said : "How would I know if I didn't see them charging into the military formation?"
Yang Dezheng laughed and said: "Watch a play and watch a play." Outside Fengzhou City. Guo Da was also stunned when he saw the heavy armored cavalry appearing in Fengzhou City. He also felt the sturdy and heavy aura from the heavy armored cavalry. However, Guo Da felt that the opponent was not invincible. In terms of numbers alone, the soldiers and horses under Guo Da's command can crush the opponent to death.
Guo Da just felt that capturing this heavy armored cavalry might cost a lot. Now that things have happened, Guo Da can't help but hesitate. It was impossible for Guo Da to abandon Fengzhou City just because there were a hundred heavily armored cavalry blocking the way. Just a hundred people.
Not enough to threaten him. Besides, I haven’t fought yet, so it’s really easy to say who is stronger and who is weaker. Guo Da, who had a plan in mind, issued the military order without saying a word. "Attack." Thirty thousand Liao troops pounced on Fengzhou City like locusts. Under Fengzhou City. Facing the 30,000 Liao army attacking. Noqi Jigu had no expression at all on his face. He slowly raised the Yanyue Sword in his hand.
After the Liao army rushed into his attack range. The Yanyue knife slashed down. "Kill!" One hundred heavily armored cavalry. Like a torrent of steel, it surged out. They seemed to have transformed into a sharp sword, thrusting straight into the Liao army's formation.
"Whoosh~" He raised the knife and dropped it. In front of them, no Liao army could be their combined enemy. The Yanyue knife in their hands is like the judge's pen in the hand of a judge. One stroke can cut off a person's life. After rushing into the Liao army's formation, they showed their powerful destructive power.
Not to mention their sharp Yanyue swords. Just the horses under their crotches rushed forward. The Liao army's formation collapsed. Any Liao army that stopped in front of their horses would have their brains blown out when the horses hit them. Even if they are not killed, they will be trampled to death by the horses behind them. The charging posture of the heavy armored cavalry is very fierce and very fast. It took just one stick of incense to kill through the Liao army's formation.
The Liao troops standing in front of them or on both sides fell down like wheat. Yang Dezheng, who was watching the battle secretly, had brilliant eyes and kept saying, "So fierce, so fierce..." "Pah~" Yang Dezheng patted Shang Qingzi on the shoulder, startling Fan Long. Then in Fan Long's annoyed eyes, Yang Dezheng said solemnly: "Fortunately, we did not attack Fengzhou City and let Guo Da go through the muddy water first. Otherwise, we would have suffered heavy losses.
I just calculated that this charge alone caused more than 2,000 casualties to the Liao army. A hundred people, charging head-on, can achieve such a big result, it is really fierce. And there were only a few injured, but no one died. "Hearing that Yang Dezheng was worried about the casualties of the Renaissance Army soldiers, Fan Long was obviously stunned, and the annoyance in his eyes gradually disappeared.
He also saw the battle situation analyzed by Yang Dezheng. As someone who has fought against this heavy armored cavalry. After seeing the sharpness of the heavy armored cavalry on the battlefield, he still felt shocked. He felt it too. Heavy armored cavalry are not suitable for fighting alone. They seem to be born for the battlefield. On the battlefield, they are like demons descending.
The results were astonishing. At this moment when Yang Dezheng and Fan Long were analyzing the battle situation. Yeqi Jigu led his heavy armored cavalry again and launched a new round of charge. It was still a one-sided massacre. The heavy armored cavalry returned to the city gate from outside the battlefield. In just two rounds of killing, the damage caused was staggering.
Guo Da, who had been directing the Liao army in combat, turned dark. However, even so, Guo Da still had no intention of giving up. He sat on the horse and growled with a ferocious face: "Kill, you go ahead and kill. I don't believe you can keep killing endlessly. Don't you think you will be exhausted when you are wearing such heavy armor?"
By now. Guo Da had no other choice but to use his life to fill the gap. Then he defeated Noqijigu's heavy armored cavalry and defeated him in one fell swoop. In order to create greater resistance for the heavy armored cavalry, Guo Da even asked people to drive their horses to collide with them. Facts have proved that Guo Da's trick is indeed effective.
As tens of thousands of war horses joined in, they quickly disrupted the charge of the heavy armored cavalry. Speaking of which, Guo Da was ruthless enough that he was willing to use tens of thousands of war horses to build a wall of flesh to block Ye Qijigu's heavy armored cavalry. A large part of the lethality of heavy armored cavalry is caused by impact.
Being blocked by Guo Da, Yeqi Jigu's heavy armored cavalry started fighting among the horses and seemed a little powerless. Guo Da saw the opportunity and ordered the Liao soldiers to divide into small groups and rush into the horse group, taking the opportunity to cause damage to Noqijigu's heavy armored cavalry. It can be seen that Guo Da's tactics are very effective.
The heavy armored cavalry under Ye Qijigu began to die. When Ye Qijigu led his heavy armored cavalry to break out of the wall of flesh surrounded by the Liao army's horses, his heavy armored cavalry lost nearly thirty people. It dropped sharply by one-third.
It can be seen that the heavy armored cavalry under Ye Qijigu's command depleted their energy very quickly. In just three attacks, they were already exhausted. Yeqi Jigu was also decisive enough. When he realized that his heavy armored cavalry had lost their strength, he led his heavy armored cavalry in a half circle and entered the city from the south gate.
Yeqi Jigu made such a fuss, Guo Da's Liao army's offensive was disrupted into a mess. Guo Da could only temporarily stop his offensive and began to integrate his troops. After a short period of consolidation, Guo Da launched another attack on Fengzhou City. At this time, the heavy armored cavalry, who had rested for more than an hour, rushed out of the city gate again and launched a new round of charging.
The offensive that Guo Da had just formed was broken up by the heavy armored cavalry. This was repeated, and the two sides fought for a full day. After entering the night, both sides temporarily suspended their troops. The scouts left by Yang Dezheng were watching here, and he and Shang Qingzi returned to the camp where the Renaissance Army was hiding.
Yang Dezheng looked very excited. Today, Yeqijigu's heavy armored cavalry performed amazingly, leaving too many deep impressions on Yang Dezheng. Yang Dezheng had to admit that in this era, heavy armored cavalry was a weapon of victory. No wonder Li Yuanhao, the leader of the Xixia Kingdom, could create a large business in the northwest with three thousand iron kites. A night of silence.
Early the next morning. After Yang Dezheng got up, he had a hasty meal and took Shang Qingzi back to the place where he was watching the battle. Yang Dezheng had a hunch that today should be the day when Yeqi Jigu and Guo Da would show off. Ye Qijigu looked like he was guarding Fengzhou City together. Guo Da's attitude is that he will never give up until he achieves his goal. After a night of thinking, Guo Da also thought of some ways to deal with heavy armored cavalry.
Early in the morning, Guo Da sent tens of thousands of soldiers and began to dig trenches one after another along the perimeter of Fengzhou City, hoping to hinder Ye Qijigu's heavy armored cavalry. In order to deal with the dozens of heavy armored cavalry under Ye Qijigu's command, Guo Da also spent a lot of money. Yeqi Jigu, who had been watching the movements of Guo Da's tribe on the top of the city, seemed to have figured out Guo Da's purpose. When Guo Da sent people to dig trenches, he decisively led the heavy armored cavalry out of the city to destroy it.
Today, Guo Da seems to be avoiding the fight. As soon as Noqijigu's heavy armored cavalry appeared, his people quickly retreated. No chance for Ye Qijigu to have an attack at all. Although some Liao troops did not run in time, they were killed by Noqi Jigu.
But relatively speaking, Guo Da really doesn't care about this loss. Yeqi Jigu's several battles basically came back in vain. He could only watch from the top of the city as the Liao army dug trenches one after another and set up horse tripping stakes one after another. For Yeqi Jigu, this was a helpless thing.
The total number of soldiers and horses in Fengzhou City is less than three thousand, and they are all temporarily mobilized soldiers and horses, and their combat effectiveness is pitifully weak. These three thousand people pose no threat to Guo Da's tribe at all. The only real threat to Guo Da's tribe was the heavy armored cavalry under his command. After Guo Da tasted the power of the heavy armored cavalry yesterday, he focused on targeting them today. And when his arrangement was not completed, he would always avoid fighting and not give him a chance at all.
Although Yeqi Jigu felt helpless, he had to persevere. The letter asking for help has been sent out. As long as we insist on leading the army to Ye Qiganbo to return reinforcements, Fengzhou City will definitely be able to hold on. In fact, in Yang Dezheng's view, Yeqi Jigu is proud enough to be able to achieve this step.
With one hundred cavalry, he blocked Guo Da's nearly 30,000 Liao troops from advancing even an inch. This is already a classic battle of defeating more with less. With the huge difference in the number of people, it is really not easy to achieve this step. Even if you lose, it will be an honor even if you lose. Of course, Yang Dezheng just stood and talked without pain in his back.
If Guo Da's 30,000 Liao troops were placed outside Daizhou City, Yang Dezheng would never have such thoughts. Guo Da's arrangement lasted for a whole morning. It's approaching noon. The four sides of Fengzhou City are already covered with trenches and horse tripping posts. Guo Da can also be called crazy. Under his torture, there is almost no flat place outside Fengzhou City.
Three quarters past noon. With everything ready, Guo Da launched another attack on Fengzhou City. It can be seen that Guo Da is very confident in attacking the city this time. Because he took out all the soldiers and horses under his command. In one breath, they all gathered at the east gate of Fengzhou City.
Large catapults, ladders, and siege chisels were all pushed to the bottom of Fengzhou City. Guo Da held the order flag in his hand and shouted loudly: "Attack." Thousands of Liao troops, following Guo Da's order, quickly rushed towards Fengzhou City. When the Liao army was about to rush to the city, as expected, Yeqi Jigu led his heavy armored cavalry to attack again.
When the heavy armored cavalry appeared from the city gate. Yang Dezheng let out a long sigh and said, "What a pity..."
Fan Long was stunned and nodded. He understood what Yang Dezheng meant by 'what a pity'. Judging from the current situation, this heavy armored cavalry attacking again is no different from committing suicide. Heavy armored cavalry is more suitable for frontal charges and battle battles. But heavy armored cavalry is not suitable for defending the city. "kill!"
After Yeqi Jigu led the heavy armored cavalry under his command and rushed out of the city gate, he shouted loudly. The heavy armored cavalry attacked the Liao army. The shield soldiers in front of them were cut through the defense with little resistance. After the heavy armored cavalry rushed into the Liao army camp. Trenches and trip stakes began to do their job. One by one, the heavy armored cavalry began to fall to the ground.
The Liao troops surrounding them took the opportunity to rush forward and greeted them unceremoniously with their spears. In just a few breaths, a dozen heavy armored cavalry were killed. The wild beggar Jigu also suffered. He also tripped over the tripping post and fell to the ground. He fell off the horse and rolled several times on the ground in order to avoid the Liao army's attack. Looks very embarrassed.
"Dismount and fight on foot." At this time, the war horse has become a burden to the heavy armored cavalry, rather than an aid. Yeqi Jigu decisively ordered his subordinates to jump off their horses. The remaining forty people quickly formed a small steel battle formation. "Kill!" Yeqi Jigu took the lead. He waved the Yanyue Sword in his hand and kept slashing.
The heavy-armored cavalry soldiers who followed him also followed and slashed everywhere. This hand-to-hand battle lasted for a full hour. The soldiers of the heavy armored cavalry fell one by one beside Yeqi Jigu within an hour. At the end of the fight, only Noqi Jigu was left.
Beside him, corpses had piled up into a hill. The Yanyue Sword in Yeqi Jigu's hand had been cut into a curled blade. "Huhuhu~" Yeqi Jigu gasped. Around him, there was still a steady stream of Liao troops gathering. Yeqi Jigu wanted to pick up the Yanyue Sword and continue slashing, but he was exhausted. The Yanyue Sword was halfway raised and then fell to the ground with a clang.
"Puff~" "Puff~" "Puff~"
Three spears were stabbed into his body. The blood in Yeqi Jigu's mouth spurted out for free. "Quack, quack, quack~" Surrounded by his own soldiers, Guo Da rode his horse and walked to Noqi Jigu's side.
Guo Da looked around Yeqijigu and said with a dark face: "Bitch, it's because of you that I lost nearly ten thousand men and horses under my command. You deserve to die." Yeqijigu heard this and said, He raised his head, stared at Guo Da, and laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha..." Guo Da seemed to be irritated by Yeqi Jigu's laughter. He took out his saber from his waist and flicked it with all his strength. "Pfft~" A big head flew up. Ye Qiji's ancient body and head are in different places. Yang Dezheng and Fan Long, who were watching the battle from a distance, frowned at the same time.
But the two people didn't say anything. Guo Da beheaded Yeqi Jigu and immediately ordered the army to continue attacking the city. Under the fierce offensive of Guo Da's army, the defenders in Fengzhou City were no match for him.
Not until evening. The flag of the Liao army was replaced on the top of Fengzhou City. Yang Dezheng took Fan Long and quickly escaped back to the Fuxing Army camp. Yang Dezheng immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters. The meeting place was a thatched hut.
This is also the only building where the Renaissance Army hides. The rest of the Renaissance Army soldiers basically dug holes to sleep. The soil structure in the northwest is very good, and digging holes is not easy to collapse, and it is convenient. In the thatched house, after Yang Dezheng summoned all the generals, he said frankly: "Everyone, Guo Da of Shengzhou has now captured Fengzhou City. Although Guo Da's troops suffered heavy losses, they still have 20,000 troops.
If we want to take Fengzhou City back from Guo Da, it will definitely cost a lot of money to come back and we will definitely suffer heavy losses. When Ye Qiganbo leads his army to attack, we may not be able to defend Fengzhou City. Yang Dezheng glanced around at the generals and said, "Now, I want to ask you, should we fight or not fight this Fengzhou City?" "
The generals of the Zhe Family Army looked embarrassed. When they were under Zhe Yuxun before, Zhe Yuxun would not ask for their opinions at all, but chose to give them orders directly. Now that Yang Dezheng asked them for advice, they were really hesitant and didn't know whether they should say anything. If I say something wrong, will I be punished?
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
