Yang Qi is also a talented and bold artist. He ordered the soldiers at the top of the city to kill the first batch of Liao troops who rushed up. When the second batch of Liao troops came to charge, water was secretly released to allow them to climb to the top of the city. When facing the third batch that followed, they were greeted by a huge rain of arrows.
The second batch of Liao troops who rushed up were isolated on the top of the city. The Fuxing infantry and the Jin army, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly launched a stranglehold on the Liao army. Three batches of Liao troops were strangled in succession. The Liao army suffered heavy casualties.
Inside the Liao army commander's tent outside the city. Brother Yeluxiu frowned when he got the figures of battle losses. Judging from the numbers of battle losses, his tactics of weakening the enemy have been seen through. After hearing the report from his subordinates on the opponent's strategy of reviving the gate.
Brother Yeluxiu said subconsciously: "This is actually Yang Peng's army, and Yang Qi is here too... She actually came out of the mountain..." Yang Qi's tactics of war have very distinctive characteristics, and the reason why they are called bug tactics is that Because his art of war is like a dung beetle rolling a ball of dung, getting bigger and bigger. Yang Peng's art of war in Tianjing New City is not only not grand enough, but also very vulgar.
He rarely misses an opportunity to strike an enemy on the battlefield. Even if it is something that can cause the enemy to lose one of his troops, he will do it without hesitation. Moreover, only Yang Qi could risk the city being breached and let the enemy troops climb onto the city wall to wear down the enemy's strength. Everyone who fought against him was helpless.
Because he always accumulates all the inconspicuous little details and small losses inexplicably. Anyone who fights against him will always find out inexplicably that this is what Yang Peng did in Tianjing New City, growing from nine people to the current behemoth. The men and horses under his command are constantly growing, and his own men and horses are constantly shrinking.
When Yang Qi's troops are stronger than his opponent, he will give his opponent a fatal blow. Brother Yelu Xiu had seen Yang Peng's methods once on the battlefield, so when he met Yang Qi here, he seemed very shocked. Brother Yeluxiu, who understood Yang Peng's methods, immediately asked the ordering soldiers to go down and deliver the order. Following Brother Yelvxiu's order.
The Liao army retreated. The Liao army retreated inexplicably, which made Yang Dezheng a little stunned. "Is this anticlimactic?" Yang Qi smiled bitterly: "People guessed that I appeared, so they quickly reduced their troops. Next, we will probably be in trouble. Before Brother Yeluxiu can figure out a way to deal with us, He will not use troops easily."
Yang Dezheng was stunned and grinned: "Then let him think about it slowly, preferably ten days and a half." Yang Dezheng did not expect that he was right. Ever since Brother Yelvxiu discovered the existence of Yang Qi, he almost never launched troops against Fuxing Pass. He was just Chen Bing in front of Fuxingguan, motionless.
This stop lasts for ten days. In these ten days, it can be said that the Fuxing infantry and Jin army under Yang Dezheng changed day by day.
Day one. All the revival infantry under Yang Dezheng were replaced by uniform leather armor. The cotton armor they eliminated was taken over by the Jin army.
The third day. All the soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng's command have been replaced with uniform horizontal swords.
The fifth day. The soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng's command all wore protective armor. In addition, there are two more crossbowmen camps among the Fuxing infantry and Jin troops.
The seventh day. In addition to infantry and crossbowmen, Yang Dezheng's troops also included shield soldiers, spearmen, and heavy crossbowmen.
The tenth day. All the soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng were replaced with leather armor. Among them, the shield soldiers were replaced with fish scale armor, and the spearmen also began to appear in chain armor.
In just ten days, Yang Dezheng's soldiers and horses have completely completed a transformation. From the original refugee-like team, it has officially transformed into a regular army.
After putting on neat and uniform clothes. The whole spirit of the soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng's command was different. The infrastructure in the Fuxing Pavilion has been completed, and the equipment shortcomings of Yang Dezheng's troops have been completed.
Yang Dezheng immediately dismissed the people in Fuxingguan. They all took the handwritten letter issued by Yang Dezheng and returned to their hometown to discuss their merits and divide their fields. There were still many people who were unwilling to leave, and they were unified into the Agricultural Reclamation Corps, and began to take root in the wasteland ten miles away in Fuxingguan. Some of the people in the major workshops were also laid off by Yang Qi.
Currently, there are more than 5,000 elite personnel in major workshops. Except for these more than 5,000 elites, all the remaining people were dismissed. In the entire Fuxing Pass, after just ten days, only the remaining soldiers were left, as well as 30,000 civilians who assisted the soldiers in fighting. There were city walls to rely on in Fuxing Pass, and the food needed by the soldiers and horses was sent by Sun Zhi alone, so no more civilians were needed.
Ten days later. Yang Dezheng, Yang Qi, Yang Gui, and Yang Xin gathered in the city gate building of Fuxingguan with gloomy expressions.
"Ba Gu, two brothers, I've been feeling restless in the past two days. I'm afraid something big is going to happen." Yang Qi muttered: "The Liao army outside the city is indeed a little abnormal. In the past ten days, there has been no movement at all. No. I'm also worried about something fishy."
Yang Xin asked: "Will the Liao people go around the mountain and attack us from behind?" Yang Qi shook his head and said: "If the Liao people really want to attack us from behind, they will definitely run into Fan Long who is also attacking us. Fan When Long collides with the Liao people, he will definitely send someone to warn us."
Yang Dezheng said categorically: "I am sure that the Liao people are definitely planning something we don't know about. Please think about it, the Liao people will not attack us from the front, nor will they attack us from behind. So what will they do? Are you planning to sneak attack on us?"
Yang Gui hesitated and said: "After we have dug out our back and front, we are left with the left and right sides and the ground." Yang Xin shook his head like a rattle and said: "The Liao people will not sneak attack from the left and right sides. Ours. The mountains on the left and right sides have been filled with traps. As long as they make any move, we will definitely get wind of it."
Yang Dezheng frowned and said: "Then what's left is underground? Can the Liao people dig tunnels?" Yang Qi said solemnly: "Then give it a try and see if the Liao people can dig tunnels. Ten days is enough for them to dig tunnels from ten miles away. , dug under the city wall."
Yang Dezheng nodded and said: "Send a team of dead soldiers to go out and have a look." Yang Xin said, stood up and said, "Leave this matter to me." That night, Yang Xin led hundreds of people out quietly. Fuxing Pass, began to inspect on the flat ground outside Fuxing Pass.
Yang Xin and his people stayed outside the city for a whole night. Then returned to the city. After returning to the city, Yang Xin shook his head slightly under the questioning looks of Yang Dezheng and others. It turns out that the Liao people did not dig tunnels outside the city. So, what were the Liao people doing during these ten days? …
Not to mention the conspiracy of the Liao people, just talk about Bianjing City. A dark cloud has shrouded Yang Dezheng's head. Zhao Heng almost broke his teeth and stared at Master Pang and said, "Then what should I do?" Master Pang pondered for a moment and whispered: "I am afraid to say it out, and your Majesty wants to blame me." "I forgive you. Not guilty." Master Pang cupped his hands and said, "For the current plan, we can only temporarily withdraw Gao Hu and Ding Wei who are heading to Daizhou, and order them to lead the troops to exterminate the Fu family rebels."
Zhao Heng yelled unwillingly: "Just let that traitor Yang Dezheng go?" Taishi Pang smiled bitterly and said: "In comparison, the Fu family is more harmful. Although the Yang family has disobedient intentions, they have not raised any objections. Rebel against the banner. Yang Dezheng also promised that he would never rebel against the Song Dynasty in his life.
The Yang family is like a speck of ink stuck to Song Dynasty and will not cause any harm to Song Dynasty. Once the time is right, it can be brushed off at any time. The Fu family was different. The Fu family's rebellion was very widespread, and almost all the southwest coast areas were involved. The Fu family is like a cancer that will continue to erode the Song Dynasty and even cause permanent damage to the Song Dynasty. "
Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and said: "I am not willing to let that rebellious minister Yang Dezheng go." At this moment, Zhao Heng didn't look like an emperor at all, more like a angry child. Taishi Pang sighed quietly and said: "Your Majesty can definitely order Privy Envoy Cao to destroy the Zheyang family..." Taishi Pang made Zhao Heng angry with one sentence.
Asking Yang Peng's close friends to destroy Yang Dezheng was something Zhao Heng couldn't do. Let's not talk about whether Cao Bin would kill his relatives out of justice. Even if Cao Bin was willing, Zhao Heng would not let him go. Two rebellions in one year had already frightened Zhao Heng. Zhao Heng was unable to utter a word when being retorted by Master Pang. After a long while, he uttered a sentence harshly.
"Let the brats of the Yang family run wild for a few more days." Zhao Heng immediately ordered that Gao Hu and Ding Wei, who were on the march, be recalled and let them lead the troops and horses straight to Gusu. The emperor's orders are basically eight hundred miles away.
Gao Hu and Ding Wei, two generals, led a hundred thousand forbidden troops and had just left Kaifeng. The decree to recall them was before them. Ding Wei was a little unbelievable, "Why are the Fu family joining in the fun at this time? Is Fu Laoer, a good-for-nothing, qualified to rebel?" Almost all the veteran generals in Bianjing looked down on Fu Laoer.
Compared with Fu Lao Er, Fu Lao Er is far behind. It's so far away that it can be described as cloud and mud. When Boss Fu was alive, the Fu family firmly held the position of number one general. As soon as Fu Lao Er died, Fu Lao Er pushed the Fu family into the ranks of top generals such as the Cao family, Gao family, Shi family, and Wang family.
Among the generals in Bianjing City, they secretly called Fu Laoer the number one loser in Bianjing. Gao Hu took the imperial edict and said with a livid face: "Trash is not trash, they have already rebelled, how can you stop them? Since His Majesty has issued an edict, we can only turn around and go to Gusu."
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention Cao Bin. They all knew in their hearts that Cao Bin, a good bow, needed to be kept secret. ...Fu Laoer rebelled and helped Yang Dezheng resolve a crisis, but Yang Dezheng had no idea about it. At this moment, he was completely in shock. In the temporary tent in the city gate building, Chen Yao entered with an honest farmer.
The farmer wanted to salute as soon as he entered the door, but Yang Qi stopped him. "Just tell me clearly what you discovered, no need to be polite." Facing the four generals Yang Dezheng, Yang Qi, Yang Gui, and Yang Xin wearing shining armor, the farmer was obviously a little embarrassed. Chen Yao encouraged him from the side, "Speak confidently, the general will not blame you if he makes a mistake."
The farmer nodded, hesitated, and said: "The little man went up the mountain this morning to cut some wood to make the beams. After entering the mountain, the little man encountered many big pythons, which scared him so much that he rolled and crawled around. Run. While running around, the villain discovered a trench dug on the mountain, and there were many Liao soldiers in the trench."
"Liao Army?!" Yang Dezheng stood up suddenly with a look of disbelief on his face. Yang Qi, Yang Gui, and Yang Xin also looked shocked. Yang Xin said in disbelief: "We have laid so many traps on the mountains on both sides, how could the Liao army come over?"
Yang Qi frowned and said: "He just said that he saw the Liao army in the trench, so the Liao army must have dug the soil here. Most of our traps are set on the sunny side, and there are very few traps on the shady side. The Liao army used the stupidest method. , quietly breaking through the trap we set in the mountains and forests." Yang Qi immediately ordered: "Yang Xin, you immediately lead two thousand men and horses to search the mountains and forests on both sides. After encountering the Liao army, don't alert the enemy."
At this time, Wang Xing entered the city gate building and said: "The Liao army is coming." Yang Qi said with a solemn face: "The Liao people's trenches should have been dug to the top of the mountain. They suddenly attacked at this time in order to The Liao army on the mountain is trying to gain time for a surprise attack."
Yang Dezheng said in a deep voice: "Yang Gui, you lead 10,000 horses to guard the North Mountain; Fifth Brother, you lead 10,000 horses to guard the Nanshan. Once the Liao army appears, set fire to the mountain decisively. Even if it burns two pieces of the mountain, Even in Chengbai, we cannot let the Liao army in."
At the critical moment, Yang Dezheng did not hesitate and issued a death order on the spot. Yang Gui and Yang Xin bowed their hands and went to guard the mountain with soldiers and horses. Yang Dezheng frowned and said: "Once the 20,000 soldiers and horses are removed from the city, we will not have many soldiers and horses to defend the city."
Yang Qi cracked her mouth and smiled ferociously, "I have already prepared a big gift for the Liao army. If they are in a hurry, I will carry out the big gift for them." Yang Dezheng looked at Yang Qi curiously, but Yang Qi said nothing. Refuse to say. When the two climbed to the top of the city, the Liao army had already arrived.
The dark Liao army rushed towards Fuxing Pass bravely. On Fuxingguan City, another round of brutal fighting began again. The combat effectiveness of the Fuxing infantry and the Jin army increased exponentially after changing their equipment. Facing the fierce Liao army, they were not as panicked as they were at first.
Relying on the advantage of the soldiers and armor in their hands, even though they are not as good as the Liao people in terms of bravery. Also firmly occupied the advantage. However, the Liao army's fighting momentum was as turbulent as the ocean tide. Wave after wave of waves rushed over, with no intention of stopping. The fighting continued into the night.
The Liao army still did not retreat. They lit torches and continued to attack the city. The Fuxing infantry and Jin army soldiers on the city walls were declining at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. Although the battle on the city was fierce.
But Yang Qi and Yang Dezheng's eyes were not on the top of the city, but on the mountains on both sides. They all knew in their hearts that the real purpose of this stop was a sneak attack from both wings. Once they are successfully attacked by the Liao army, they will go around Fuxing Pass and attack Fuxing Pass from both sides. At the same time, all supplies at Fuxing Pass will be cut off.
"Ho ho ho~" The two sides fought until midnight. There were blazing fires in the mountains and forests on both sides. Strong winds fanned the fire, and suddenly the entire mountain was ablaze. Fuxingguan is reflected in the night sky.
"Liao troops are coming up from both sides." Yang Qi murmured, his eyes fixed on the mountain. "Report!" A messenger rushed up the city wall, knelt down on one knee in front of Yang Qi, and said: "General Qi, my general Yang Gui said that the enemy is powerful and requires the dispatch of 10,000 more horses. "
Before Yang Dezheng could answer, he saw another messenger who also admired the city and knelt on one knee, "General, my general requested to send an additional 10,000 horses to the south." Yang Dezheng stared and said: " Five thousand per person, no more." Yang Dezheng stopped Yang Qi and roared: "You are crazy. There are less than 35,000 soldiers and horses left on the city. If we transfer another 10,000, there will be only two It’s 10,000. How to defend against the Liao army’s attack.”
Yang Qi said firmly: "I'm not crazy. The crazy one is Brother Yelvxiu. Since he forced me, I will let him see my methods." Yang Qi allocated 10,000 soldiers and horses from the top of the city. Yang Gui and Yang Xin. He ordered people to go to the wounded barracks to recruit Peng Pai.
"Peng Pai, take your people and go out along the tunnel. Light a fire for me." Peng Pai's pupils shrank and his lips trembled, "What's the real point?" Peng Pai, a person who knew the inside story, after learning about the need for a fire, obviously Feeling afraid.
Yang Dezheng clearly felt that Yang Qi's decision was extraordinary. However, even so, he still couldn't guess what Yang Qi's decision meant. If he knew, he might have stopped it. Seeing that Yang Qi had made up his mind, Peng Pai nodded heavily and quickly descended from the city.
After Peng Pai got off the city wall, he immediately summoned his subordinates. A group of six people entered a closed room at the corner of Fuxingguan City Wall.
Inside the room, there was a void. Peng Pai led them to the hollow and nodded to each other. They lit torches and entered the cave.
Inside the cavity is a tunnel. The tunnel covers the city wall to the north of Fuxingguan and leads directly to the outside of the city. About a mile outside the city. A row of bamboo tubes with their joints opened were buried underground. Peng Pai and his men avoided the Liao army and dug up the soil, revealing the bamboo tube.
The bamboo tube was stuffed with linen. The six men from Peng Pai took out the fire twisters, blew them on, and then stuffed them into the bamboo tube tremblingly. "Run!" After doing this, Peng Pai started to run away with everyone without looking back. The six people ran away quickly after entering the secret passage. Throughout the entire secret passage, they ran out for more than thirty feet when they heard deafening roars one after another.
The six people were knocked directly against the wall next to them, their heads bruised and bleeding. "The sky is falling?!" The people at Fuxing Gate didn't see the sky couch, but they saw the ground sinking. The roar of explosions sounded one after another. In the Liao army camp charging outside the city, one after another beasts seemed to rush out from the ground. They crazily devoured the lives of the Liao army.
"Boom!" After an explosion like the cracking of the ground, everything returned to calm. The powerful air waves directly blew the soldiers and horses on the head of Fuxingguan City to the ground. Some people were even blown off the other side of the city wall. A huge earthquake occurred throughout Fuxing Pass, and even within a hundred miles of Fuxing Pass. After the explosion and huge earthquake, everyone froze on the spot and could not say a word.
Outside Fuxing Pass, a huge pothole appeared. The potholes are only a dozen feet deep, and all areas within a radius of five miles are covered by potholes. There were piles of broken limbs scattered around the pit. But inside the pothole, all is lost.
Including the 60,000 Liao troops staying in the pits. What can cause such great power? The answer to gunpowder! How much gunpowder is needed to create such power? Fifteen thousand pounds! The frantic Yang Qi buried fifteen thousand kilograms of gunpowder outside the city. This is why Peng Pai trembled when he went to light the fire. Even Peng Pai, who knows the pros and cons of gunpowder, knows what fifteen thousand kilograms of gunpowder is.
Yang Dezheng stared out of the city, his whole body trembling, his face turned blue, and he said in a trembling voice: "Bagu... what on earth did you do?" He couldn't believe his eyes, nor could he believe Yang Qi's ruthlessness. Yang Qi herself turned a little pale. He couldn't believe what he saw before him.
Purgatory on earth is nothing more than this. Yang Dezheng's hand grabbed Yang Qi's arm and asked loudly, "Yang Qi, do you know what you did?" Yang Qi gritted his teeth and whispered: "Ci does not wield troops, I just did it. What I should do." Yang Dezheng wanted to slap Yang Qi twice, but finally held back.
Yes. According to Yang Qi's reasoning, he did the right thing. This is the philosophy of Tianjing New City. Use the most powerful moves to deal with the enemy. Yang Peng is not a pedantic person from the Song Dynasty. But in Yang Dezheng's view, Yang Qi released a killing machine, a demon, a demon that made the war more cruel.
Yang Dezheng returned to the city gate building in despair. Beside Yang Qi, the soldiers who heard that everything outside the city was caused by Yang Qi looked at Yang Qi with horror in their eyes. There was no fear in their eyes, only fear.
Outside the city, ten miles away. Brother Yelvxiu was shaken off his chair by the loud noise. He quickly opened the tent and saw the soaring fire, the rapid collapse of the ground, and even the 60,000 Liao army. In a blink of an eye, All gone. His eyes were filled with fear for the first time in his life. Manpower, can we do this?
"Yang Dezheng, what on earth did you do?" Brother Yelu Xiu stood blankly outside the handsome tent, waiting for someone to give him an answer. He waited for a long time. Xiao She, who survived Fuxing Pass, is back. Xiao She was missing an arm, his whole body was dark, and his body was filled with the smell of fireworks.
Xiao She knelt down in front of Brother Yelvxiu as if he was demented, mumbling only two words back and forth. "Gunpowder...Gunpowder...Gunpowder..." Gunpowder is not something that is difficult to see. In fact, merchants in the Song Dynasty had already begun to use gunpowder to make fireworks.
Fireworks from the Song Dynasty were also sold to the Liao Kingdom. The nobles of the Liao Kingdom also generally knew the existence of gunpowder. Brother Yelvxiu didn't expect that gunpowder could be so powerful. He never expected that more than half of the 150,000 Liao troops he brought would be lost overnight. "Yang Dezheng, are you unscrupulous? Then don't blame me for being cruel."
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
