The Yanyun Army's artillery fired a volley, the terrifying roar resounded across the sea, and the storm-like rain of bullets swept away. At such a close distance, the bullets were almost in vain. I saw the wooden blocks of the warships flying in front of me, and the walls were broken and the masts fell. The strips tilted and then sank into the water.
The Khitan army approached while attacking, hoping to use their firepower when they got closer. Indeed, as the distance got closer, the killing effect of the Khitan warships on the Yanyun fleet increased significantly. However, they were not happy because they were horrified to find that as the distance got closer, the power of Yanyun's cannons became more powerful. It goes up in a straight line! When the two sides approached less than a hundred steps away, the Yanyun Army's artillery fire was like a strong wind and huge waves. Every time a salvo was fired, the Khitan Army felt as if the world was turned upside down. Countless warships were blown into pieces, and countless soldiers died.
The Khitan officers and soldiers raised their rockets and fired towards the opposite side, hoping that the fire would defeat Yan Yun's army. The fire rain fell into Yan Yun's army, and the Khitan army looked forward to it. However, the sight of billowing flames they expected did not appear, and soon the fire heads disappeared without a trace. The officers and soldiers of the Khitan Army were very surprised. They did not know that the warships of the Yanyun Army had been designed to defend against fire attacks from the beginning, so a layer of asbestos was nailed up and down the warships before they were launched into the water.
The fire attack of the Khitan Army had no effect, but the storm of artillery fire from the Yanyun Army roared in again. In an instant, the sea boiled, buildings collapsed and ships collapsed. The Khitan Army soldiers fled with their heads in their hands, but unfortunately they were blown to pieces by the artillery shells!
The Khitan army officers and soldiers could no longer hold on and turned their boats around to escape. Artillery fire chased their butts and bombarded them continuously, and many warships took in water and sank.
After a while, the sea calmed down. Yang Peng climbed up to the oar and looked into the distance, only to see dozens of broken warships of the Khitan army fleeing for their lives in a hurry. He smiled and said to the navy commanders around him: "This battle was really enjoyable! After this battle, the Liao navy basically ceased to exist!" All the commanders looked excited. Guan Shan said in disbelief: "I didn't expect that Xiao Tianzuo didn't play any tricks. It's really puzzling!" Wang Rong said angrily: "Why bother with this kind of thing? The important thing is that the Khitan army and navy were destroyed by us Yes!" Guan He smiled and nodded.
The Yanyun Army sent speedboats into the sea where countless wreckage was floating, searching for survivors, and successively rescued countless Khitan officers and soldiers who fell into the water.
Guan Shan set up a speedboat and brought several prisoners to the flagship. He raised his head and clasped his fists at Yang Peng who was standing on the deck: "King Yan, we rescued a general of the Khitan Army." "Oh? Who is it?" "Deputy Commander of the Navy, Xiao Zuo."
Xiao Tianzuo led more than 20 dilapidated warships and fled back to Runzhou port. Xiao Fuheqian got the news and rushed to the port. When he saw the twenty-odd warships scattered in front of him, he was stunned. Once upon a time, the fleet of Daliao Kingdom was so powerful! Now, surprisingly, there are only so many broken boats left! ?
Xiao Fuheqian quickly found Xiao Tianzuo, "General Xiao, how did you end up like this?" Xiao Tianzuo said with a bitter smile: "The governor forced us to fight, but we had no choice but to fight Yan Yun's army! The result was a decisive battle! After the war, my navy, my navy..." Xiao Tianzuo burst into tears.
Xiao Fuhe was speechless for a long time. Not seeing Feng Lin and Xiao Zuo, he quickly asked: "Where are General Feng and General Xiao?" Xiao Tianzuo sighed and shook his head, "Their warships were sunk. I think it's a disaster!" Xiao Tianzuo said Frowning, he said: "You can say that the navy has been completely wiped out! How should we explain to the Governor, and how should we explain to His Majesty?"
Xiao Tianzuo was flustered and shook his head. That night, Xiao Tianzuo and his son gathered in the cabin to talk. "Father, when things get to this point, I'm afraid we will all die!" Chopin said worriedly. Xiao Tianzuo sighed, "What can we do now that the matter has come to this? We can only wait for His Majesty to convict him!" The father and son sighed at each other, both filled with sorrow and anger.
An officer suddenly ran in, "Commander, General Xiao Zuo is back!" When the father and son heard this, they couldn't help being very surprised. Xiao Tianzuo ran out quickly, and Cho Bang also ran out quickly. Seeing Xiao Zuo, the father and son couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Xiao Tianzuo stepped forward quickly, hugged Xiao Zuo, and said excitedly: "Good brother! I thought you had been killed!"
Seeing Xiao Tianzuo's true feelings, Xiao Zuo couldn't help but be very moved and said with a smile: "This subordinate is very lucky! The King of Hell won't accept it!" Xiao Tianzuo laughed and said: "It'll be good if you come back! It'll be good if you come back!" Then Xiao Zuo He was pulled into the cabin and asked the soldiers to bring wine and food. The three of them ate and chatted.
After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Zuo suddenly asked: "Have the Governor ever thought about his current situation?" Xiao Tianzuo put down the wine bowl and sighed: "There is nothing more to say now, I can only leave it to fate!" Xiao Zuo looked at it Outside, he lowered his voice and said: "Commander, we are the navy of the Liao Kingdom, why should we wait here to die?" Xiao Tianzuo was stunned, "What do you mean by this brother?" Xiao Zuo quickly leaned into Xiao Tianci's ear and said Made some remarks. …
Xiao Tieheqian wrote a memorial and a report, called the herald, and ordered them to be sent to His Majesty and the Grand Governor Han Derang respectively. After doing this, Xiao Fuheqian was ready to rest. However, at this moment, a general rushed in anxiously and reported urgently: "General, all the people in the navy are missing!" Xiao Tiehegan was stunned and hurried out of the room. Soon after, Xiao Fuheqian led thousands of cavalry to the dock. All the warships that were parked on the dock before had disappeared. At this time, several officers ran over.
Xiao Tiehegan pointed at the empty pier with his riding whip and asked sternly: "What's going on?" An officer clasped his fists and said: "About two-quarters of an hour ago, the sentry discovered that the navy ship was leaving the pier, and immediately stopped it, but The other party ignored it at all. When my subordinates arrived, the naval vessel had disappeared."
Xiao Tiehegan frowned and asked, "Didn't they say anything before they left?" The officer shook his head, "They left suddenly, and we didn't know about it at all." Xiao Tiehegan swung his whip and cursed: "Son of a bitch! They must have rebelled!" Then he ordered an officer beside him: "Report this to the Grand Governor immediately!"
Handerang was woken up in the middle of the night and was very annoyed. He rubbed the corners of his eyes and walked out and said angrily: "What's going on?" The herald quickly handed over the Flying Eagle message from Laoheqian to Han Derang, "General Laoheqian stayed overnight. There is a message from the Flying Eagle, sealed with red clay!"
Handerang frowned when he heard that it was a letter sealed with red mud. He quickly took the bamboo tube, crushed the mud seal, and poured out the scroll. He spread it out and looked at it again, and was shocked, "Xiao Tianzuo rebelled?! What's going on?" Since the previous battle report was sent by fast horse, it had not been sent to Han Derang at this moment. Handerang still didn't know the news about the navy's defeat in the battle.
In the early morning of the next day, news about the navy's defeat came, and Han Derang understood why Xiao Tianzuo rebelled. Handerang originally wanted to make a surprise move and defeat the enemies that the emperor's wife had not been able to defeat in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, instead of showing his face, he exposed his butt. The anger in his heart was self-evident, and he immediately sent orders to surrounding states and counties to arrest Xiao Tianzuo and others.
Soon there was news about Xiao Tianzuo, but Han Derang couldn't be happy at all. Because this news came following a battle report: Yan Yun's army, under the guidance of Xiao Tianzuo, captured Juehua Island in one fell swoop. All the more than 10,000 defenders on the island were captured except those who were killed.
Handerang was extremely angry and immediately mobilized civilian ships to carry more than 30,000 troops to conquer. However, when the fleet arrived at the sea near Juehua Island, it was attacked head-on by the Yanyun fleet. It can be imagined that the big ship full of soldiers was like a big dumpling with thin skin and big stuffing. It had no resistance at all in front of the Yanyun gunboat. The war was a complete one-sided massacre! With artillery fire in the sky, Khitan warships were seen sinking one after another, and countless Khitan soldiers were buried in the belly of the fish. When the battle ended, the densely packed corpses floating on the sea made people feel numb! In this battle, the Khitan army had more than 36,000 soldiers and horses, at least half of whom were killed in the sea, and another five to six thousand were captured, and the rest escaped by chance. Having said this, I have to say that the shortcomings of Yanyun gunboats are that they are more powerful, but their speed is really beyond praise. Once the enemy runs away, there is no way to catch up.
Handrang looked at the defeated soldiers retreating into the port. He was first angry, then panic and fear came to his heart. He really couldn't imagine what kind of results would be waiting for him after the news of such successive defeats reached the emperor. Handerang spread all his fear and anger on the leading generals and ordered the two generals to be beheaded in public. As a result, the entire army was filled with resentment.
Soon after, Han Derang was dismissed from his post as the Governor of the Bohai Sea and recalled to the capital. The materials and troops originally stored in Laizhou for cross-sea operations were transferred to Shanxi. The plan to cross the sea to attack the hinterland of Yanyun was put on hold indefinitely. .
"Hey! I really shouldn't have changed you back!" Ye Qian Longxu said with anger and regret. Ye Qian Guanyin frowned and said, "Your Majesty also has His Majesty's considerations!" Ye Qian Longxu asked, "Are you planning to go to the Central Plains immediately?" Ye Qian Guanyin nodded, "This is your Majesty's order!" Ye Qian Longxu smiled. He said: "Are you still blaming me?" "Don't dare!" Ye Qian Longxu said: "My brother has indeed done something wrong. Sister, please forgive me!"
The anger in Ye Qi Guanyin's heart couldn't help but dissipate, and she sighed, "My grievances are nothing! It's just that the navy army was completely wiped out, and the situation on the Bohai Sea became very unfavorable to us! The Yanyun Army won again! "
Ye Qian Longxu sighed helplessly, "Cannon! This is where we were defeated!" Then he said angrily: "Why can't our craftsmen make it?" Ye Qian Guanyin frowned and said: "We have already made countless trial productions. Times, but every time the barrel explodes! It seems that the material used to make the barrel is very special, and we won’t be able to solve this problem for a while! I have sent people to sneak into Yanjing, and I hope they can gain something." Ye Qi Guanyin nodded.
"I'll leave this matter to you. I believe you won't let me down." Then he smiled and said: "In two months, we Khitan people will hold the biennial warrior conference. My little sister will wait for the warrior conference before returning to the Central Plains. Right." Ye Qi Guanyin hesitated for a moment and nodded. "I hope my little sister can find a warrior of your own by then! Haha, we Khitan warriors are all looking forward to your favor!" Ye Qi Guanyin sneered: "If you want to be my man, you must defeat me!" Ye Qian Longxu sighed, "Little sister, should you lower your conditions? It's really hard to find a warrior who can defeat you!" Ye Qian Guanyin said: "This is my business. Your Majesty, don’t worry!”
Ye Qian Longxu nodded helplessly, "Okay, it's up to you!" Ye Qian Longxu said: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will leave." Ye Qian Longxu nodded. Ye Qi Guanyin left. Ye Qian Longxu squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Qian Guanyin's back, wondering what he was thinking.
Returning to the Concubine Goryeo, the charming and beautiful Concubine Goryeo hurriedly greeted her. As soon as Ye Qian Longxu saw her, his troubled mood disappeared without a trace. The imperial concubine of Goryeo held Ye Qian Longxu's arm and looked very affectionate. Ye Qian Longxu walked to the coffee table and sat down, sighing uncontrollably. Concubine Goryeo quickly asked: "Is there anything about my concubine that dissatisfies His Majesty?"
Ye Qianlongxu smiled slightly, picked up the delicate hand of Concubine Gao Li, patted the back of her hand gently, and said softly: "It has nothing to do with my concubine, it's just that the war situation over the Bohai Sea makes me very troubled!" Concubine Gao Li blamed herself: "It's all my fault! I shouldn't have come up with such an idea to Your Majesty!"
Ye Qian Longxu waved his hand, "It's none of your business. It wasn't just you who had that view at that time, I also had that view. In fact, even if the princess was not replaced, the situation would not be much better!" He frowned, "You don't know, Yan Yun has created a powerful weapon that makes our army unable to compete with them on the sea! This is the main reason why our navy was completely annihilated!"
The Concubine of Goryeo disagreed. She thought that Ye Qian Longxu only said this out of face. In her imagination, there was no weapon that could be as powerful as Ye Qian Longxu said! She was thinking this in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud. As a concubine, she knew very well what to say and what not to say. "Your Majesty, I think the Goryeo navy can help us!"
Ye Qian Longxu thought for a while and nodded, "That's fine." He looked at the Concubine of Goryeo and said, "The Goryeo Navy helped me fight, and I can't treat Goryeo badly. Let's do this. In the future, the Goryeo Navy will capture the treasures in battles." Everything belongs to Goryeo, and I will not interfere with it. In addition, I will cede Juehua Island, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and Shandong area to Goryeo. Those places will be captured by our Jin army or Goryeo army in the future. , all ceded to Korea!"
The Concubine of Goryeo was very happy. She thanked her Yingying and said, "I would like to express my gratitude to Your Majesty on behalf of my father and on behalf of Goryeo!" Ye Qianlongxu smiled and helped the Concubine of Goryeo. The noble concubine of Goryeo said sweetly: "I have recently learned a few new songs. Would your Majesty want to listen to them?" Ye Qianlongxu nodded enthusiastically and said: "Of course I want to listen to your beloved concubine's natural sound!" I walked behind the guqin, knelt down and sang a cappella while playing with the strings. The song seemed to be a Tang poem, with a melodious melody that was particularly moving. Ye Qian Longxu couldn't help but be intoxicated.
His eyes turned back to Yan Jing. Today, the West Street of Yanjing City was extremely lively, and thousands of people came to welcome the triumphant army. Walking on the street were hundreds of extremely powerful warriors, and the general who led them was extremely heroic. There were cheers and shouts, many people were extremely excited, and even an old man knelt down beside the road.
When Zhao Lihua heard that Yang Peng was back, she had just entered through the West City Gate, so accompanied by her personal maid, she hurriedly climbed up to an attic in the backyard and looked towards the West Street. I saw a group of war cavalry surrounded by thousands of people, and the general who led them. She was far away and couldn't see clearly, but she subconsciously felt that the man had extraordinary temperament and martial prowess. She couldn't help but feel her heart flutter, and then she frowned and couldn't help but hold the jade pendant given to her by Ni Chengmou with her palm.
"That's King Yan?" Zhao Lihua asked curiously. The palace maid nodded, "It should be so!" Zhao Lihua thought for a while, turned around and left the attic. Seeing this, the palace maid hurriedly followed.
Yang Peng came to the gate of the left-behind mansion and saw four wives and concubines standing at the door to greet them, like four flowers with different styles. Yang Peng was overjoyed and quickly got off his horse and stepped forward. The four wives and concubines bowed together: "Welcome to my husband for your triumph!" Yang Peng quickly helped them up and said with a smile: "It's just a small battle, it's not worth this, it's not worth this!"
The girls smiled sweetly, and Yelu Hanyu said angrily: "What are you talking about at the door? Let's talk about it after we go in!" So the girls surrounded Yang Peng and walked into the door. When they came to the hall, the four wives and concubines offered tea to Yang Peng in turn, and then stood two on the left and two on the right.
Yang Peng said angrily: "What are you standing for? We don't have such rules in our family! Everyone, please sit down!" The four girls smiled and sat down.
Yang Peng looked at the beautiful faces of Zhao Jinxi and Han Yu, and then at the pretty looks of Yang Tong and Chai Yonghui. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's better to be at home! You don't know that I miss you even during the day outside. I miss you guys tonight too, it’s really uncomfortable to be worried about me!” The fourth girl laughed. Yelu Hanyu said teasingly: "I think you don't miss us, but the Princess of Song!"
Only then did Yang Peng think of Zhao Lihua, and couldn't help but feel very troubled, "This princess, I really don't know how to deal with her!" Yelu Hanyu snorted, "Everyone has already been sent to you, so naturally she is yours. You're a woman, what's wrong with it?" Yang Peng smiled bitterly and shook his head. Yelu Hanyu sighed, "I know what you are thinking, but it's useless for you to think like that! Now that she is yours, you can't just ignore her. That will hurt her even more!"
Zhao Jinxi nodded and said: "That's right. In any case, she is also your wife in terms of status. You can't neglect her too much!" Yang Peng looked at Yelutri and then at Zhao Jinxi with a strange look on his face. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "You are right." Then he stood up and said, "Then I will go see him!"
Yelu Hanyu pointed at Chen Xiao and said to Zhao Jinxi: "Look, his fox tail was exposed all of a sudden! He was unwilling just now, but now he is so impatient!" Zhao Jinxi rolled his eyes at Yang Peng , "That's right!" Yang Peng rolled his eyes, "I'm talking about you two! Why do you say everything?" Then he sat back and said, "I'd better not go."
Zhao Jinxi said softly: "You'd better go and see her, so that others won't gossip!" "No." Zhao Jinxi stood up, walked to Yang Peng, pushed him gently, and said like a child: "Be good. "Listen to your sister and go take a look." Yang Peng hugged Zhao Jinxi's slender waist and kissed her red lips without any explanation. Zhao Jinxi did not expect to be attacked suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, and then lost himself in the touching feeling. Yelu Hanyu muttered something angrily; Yang Tong and Chai Yonghui could not hide their jealous expressions.
After a long while, Yang Peng let go of Zhao Jinxi. At this time, Zhao Jinxi's face was already red and her beautiful eyes were filled with affection. She rolled her eyes at Yang Peng and complained in a low voice: "It's so bad!" Yang Peng's heart skipped a beat, he put his arms around Zhao Jinxi's waist and said with a smile: "I remember that. We haven't had the wedding yet! Tonight, we must do this big thing no matter what!" Zhao Jinxi was so embarrassed that she pushed Yang Peng, "Stop wasting time, go see your princess!"
Yang Peng sighed helplessly and stood up, "Okay! I'll go see her!"... "Princess, Princess Yan, King Yan is here!" The palace maid rushed to Zhao Lihua excitedly to report.
Zhao Lihua was startled and quickly looked behind the palace maid. She saw an extraordinary young man in armor and cloak walking from the shade of the flowers among the trees, as if the God of War from heaven had descended to the world. No matter how many thoughts Zhao Lihua had before, seeing Yang Peng's appearance now, she couldn't help but feel her heart flutter, and then panic filled her heart.
Yang Peng saw the legendary Princess Lihua from a distance, and was a little surprised. He found that the temperament and appearance of Princess Lihua could actually be compared with Zhao Jinxi and Yelu Hanyu. It is true that Chunlan Qiuju is good at winning each other, and it can't be said. Who is better. In fact, when a woman's temperament and appearance reach a certain level, it's hard to tell who is taller and who is lower. They can all be included in the list of peerless beauties!
Yang Peng walked over while thinking. When he came to Zhao Lihua, Zhao Lihua was facing him sideways, seeming a little panicked.
Yang Peng cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness Princess..." Zhao Lihua turned around quickly. Seeing this legendary man so close, I couldn't help but feel even more flustered. "You, you're back?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "I just came back. I apologize for not being able to greet the princess in person before!" Zhao Lihua stroked her hair at the temples, "It's nothing."
Yang Peng turned around and looked around, saw a pond not far away, and said, "Let's go for a walk by the pond." Zhao Lihua nodded subconsciously. Yang Peng turned and walked towards the pond, with Zhao Lihua following behind him. The two of them strolled along the cobblestone path by the pond, with Chen Xiao walking in front and Zhao Lihua following closely behind, her head lowered and her face slightly red. At this moment, her heart was in chaos.
Yang Peng stopped and turned around. Unexpectedly, Zhao Lihua was so distracted that she didn't notice that Yang Peng had stopped, took over and ran into Yang Peng's arms.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
