Brother Ye Qianxiu was speechless after being snatched away by Yang Peng. After a long while, he said gloomily: "Since you are looking for death, I will help you!" Yang Peng laughed loudly, "I'm afraid you don't have the ability!" He turned the horse's reins and ran back to the city. Brother Ye Qianxiu snorted coldly, turned his horse and ran back to the military formation. Immediately, the Liao army retreated slowly, retreated to a creek more than ten miles away, and set up a camp with its back on the hill.
After Yang Peng ordered the four branches to be more vigilant, he ordered all armies to take time to rest and recharge their batteries. That night, Yang Peng and Yang Jiumei were lying on the bed cuddling each other and talking. "The war will start tomorrow!" Yang Jiumei said. Yang Peng glanced at his wife in his arms and asked, "Are you afraid?"
Yang Jiumei shook her head, "I'm not afraid," she glanced at Yang Peng's face, "As long as I'm with my eldest brother, I'm not afraid of anything!" Yang Peng couldn't help but kiss Yang Jiumei. Yang Jiumei squeezed her moving body into Yang Peng's arms, "Brother, if there is no more war in the future, we will live in seclusion in an inaccessible and beautiful place. Do you agree?" Yang Peng caressed Jiumei's waist. , nodded and said: "Okay!" Yang Jiumei sighed faintly, "I'm afraid that is an unattainable dream! Even if there is no war in the future, eldest brother will still have endless things to deal with. How can I live in seclusion!"
Yang Peng asked with a smile: "If there is no war, how can I still have unfinished things to deal with?" Yang Jiumei raised her head, put her chin on Yang Peng's chest, and looked at Yang Peng's cheek, "The war is over. After that, the eldest brother will naturally dominate the world. How can I have leisure at that time?" Yang Peng said with a smile: "That's not sure!" Yang Jiumei rolled her eyes at Yang Peng and put her cheek against Yang Peng's chest, "You Ah, you're coaxing me again! I don't have any extravagant hopes for seclusion or anything like that. I just hope that my eldest brother won't neglect me too much in the future! Hey, when the harem has three thousand beauties, I'm afraid that eldest brother will have already forgotten me! "
Yang Peng's heart welled up with tender feelings, he hugged Yang Jiumei's delicate body and said angrily: "Don't think so wildly, I can't live without you in this life!" Yang Jiumei was very happy.
At this time, the moonlight shone in from the window, reflecting on Yang Jiumei's face. Yang Jiumei looked out the window and saw a bright moon like a silver hook slanting above the treetops in the west. She quickly said: "It's getting late. Let's take a rest. There are still big things to do tomorrow!" Yang Peng smiled slightly, hugged Yang Jiumei and closed his eyes. Yang Jiumei looked at Yang Peng's face, with a happy smile in her beautiful eyes. She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. …
Early the next morning, the armies of both sides lined up to confront each other outside the city. 400,000 Khitan troops faced off against 160,000 Yanyun troops. Banners surged in the air, the formation was like a mountain, and murderous intent shot straight into the sky.
Brother Ye Qianxiu immediately looked at the opponent's military formation under the commander's flag, with a somewhat surprised look in his eyes. He originally thought that Yan Yun's army would be unable to retreat, but he did not expect that Yan Yun's army would dare to go out of the city to fight. However, this played into Brother Ye Qianxiu's plan. Brother Ye Qianxiu was eager to deal with the Yan Yun Army here. It would be a bit difficult for him if the Yan Yun Army retreated and pacified the city. Now that the Yan Yun Army came out of the city to fight regardless of life and death, it was just right. Let him make a quick decision.
Putting the chaotic thoughts behind, Brother Yeqianxiu raised his right hand, and the unique horn sound of the Khitan Army sounded loudly, Wu... Wu... Wu..., piercing the sky. Brother Yeqianxiu raised his right hand violently. With a wave forward, the front line immediately opened, and 20,000 iron pagodas surged out like a flood from the gates, rushing towards the Yanyun army formation on the opposite side. The surge was fierce and unstoppable. It was worthy of the rampant force of the Khitan army. Bingrui Brigade Tiefutu! At the same time, 150,000 Khitan light cavalry surrounded them from the left and right wings. As soon as the Khitan army came up, they launched an attack with 170,000 cavalry troops, obviously hoping to defeat the Yanyun army in one go!
Facing the ferocious offensive of the Khitan army, Yanyun's cavalry did not fight. The infantry formed a defensive formation, and the cavalry were all wrapped in the military formation. They were ready and motionless as a mountain.
In the blink of an eye, the light cavalry of the Khitan Army approached the two wings of Yanyun Army. In an instant, tens of thousands of ammunition were fired from Yanyun's army, and the dense rain of ammunition darkened the bright sky. Immediately, the light cavalry of the Khitan army fell to the ground one after another, and countless ripples rippled in the turbulent wave. The charging momentum was obviously disrupted! The Khitan army's cavalry continued to charge, shooting at Yan Yun's army with their riding skills. Arrows rained down one after another, but most of them were blocked by shields!
The light cavalry of the Khitan Army approached, and the Yanyun Army opened fire with full firepower. The specially-made rocket nest car made a sharp whistling sound, and the rockets were seen rushing towards the enemy like a mad swarm of bees. At the same time, all the crossbows also After shooting, with the addition of an ordinary crossbow, in an instant, all I saw were arrows flying around! The light cavalry of the Khitan Army turned on their backs and fell to the ground in an instant! The momentum of the Khitan army was greatly reduced, and the momentum of the charge also stopped. At this moment, the two wings of Yanyun's army opened up, and 60,000 light cavalry roared out of the army and killed the enemy! Qujun was taken aback, and before he could react, he was knocked into the middle by Yan Yun's cavalry! The Yan Yun army moved forward bravely and charged with all their strength. The Khitan army was killed and retreated continuously. However, the Khitan army was several times more powerful than the Yan Yun army. In the end, it stabilized its position and launched a counterattack! The cavalry of both sides fought together, with blood flying and cold light spreading. Each cavalry was stained with blood on the battlefield. The cavalry who fell off their horses were trampled to pulp by the turbulent hooves before they could get up!
At the same time, the Khitan Army's 20,000 iron pagodas hit Yanyun's frontal defense line like a stormy sea. The defensive line composed of heavy shields and spearmen was knocked to the point of being crumbling. The soldiers of the Eighth Army were not Yanyun's main force after all. Seeing that it is on the verge of collapse, it is almost impossible to resist! The violent blood of the Iron Buddhas was boiling completely at this time. They roared and rushed forward, waving the spears and axes in their hands vigorously, killing Yan Yun's army, staggering here and there in fear!
Brother Ye Qianxiu, who was watching the battle from behind, was very excited when he saw this, and shouted: "The whole army attacks! The whole army attacks!" The horn sounded loudly and loudly, and more than 200,000 Jin troops roared towards Yan Yun's army. swept away.
Yanyun's frontal defense finally collapsed, and Tiefutu poured into Yanyun's military formation.
At the critical moment, Zhong Min, commander of the Eighth Army, rushed forward with three thousand Mo Dao soldiers and fought back desperately. Only one Mo Dao soldier chopped down an iron pagoda, and was knocked over by another iron pagoda that followed closely. On the ground! Blood for blood, life for life, the beating was extremely brutal!
Yang Peng raised his iron horse and waved it forward. The army attacked in full force and collided with the Khitan army in a fierce battle. Nearly 600,000 troops from both sides went back and forth to fight, until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the sun and the moon were dim. Suddenly, the Khitan army's cavalry rushed into the Yanyun army and swept across it. Suddenly, Yanyun's warriors rushed into the middle of the Khitan army and marched forward. The armies of both sides fluctuated and fought. The Khitan army relied on its absolute superiority in strength to try to create an overwhelming victory. , but failed to do so. Although the Yanyun Army was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, it did not show any signs of decline.
The battle lasted from morning to noon. Both sides were exhausted and suffered heavy casualties, and each retreated. The hustle and bustle of the battlefield became quiet, and the fields were littered with corpses, and the originally green grass turned into a large expanse of earthy brown.
"Duan Zhixian, are you okay?" Yang Peng asked. At this time, Duan Zhixian was having his upper body bare and being bandaged by a medical officer. In the melee just now, Duan Zhixian tried to attack Brother Ye Qianxiu, but he did not want to be hit in the chest by an arrow shot by a general of the other side. Fortunately, he was wearing a thick armor, and the arrow Most of his strength was blocked by the armor, otherwise Duan Zhixian would have been a corpse at this moment. Duan Zhixian laughed, "It's okay! It's just like a mosquito bite!" Yang Peng smiled and patted his shoulder. I patrolled the scene and saw so many injured soldiers that I couldn't help but feel heavy. We did not gain any advantage in this battle, but instead suffered many casualties.
Brother Ye Qianxiu on the other side was full of confidence. He said to the generals in the tent with a happy face: "This battle was well fought! Although it failed to completely defeat the Yanyun Army, it severely defeated them. Such enthusiasm!" All the generals also looked happy. Ganbuli said: "I'm afraid that the other party will be unable to retreat. In that case, it will be very disadvantageous for us!" Brother Ye Qianxiu frowned and nodded, and said to his general Zhanle: "Send someone to give Yang Peng a gift." Box of women's clothes, and send a challenge letter at the same time!" "Yes!"
When Yang Peng received the women's clothes from Brother Ye Qianxiu, everyone except Yang Peng was extremely angry. They really wanted to rush out and fight Brother Ye Qianxiu immediately. Brother Ye Ganxiu's envoy presented the letter of war and said proudly: "The general has said that if King Yan is a courageous man, please come out of the city in three days to fight our army decisively. The winner will be determined in one battle!"
Yang Peng winked at Yang Jiumei, who immediately went down to accept the letter of challenge and came back to forward it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the letter of challenge, casually threw it on the desk, and said to the messenger: "Since we are going to have a decisive battle, why wait until three days later? Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, Brother Ye Qianxiu and I will fight to the death!" The messenger was delighted. He couldn't help but thought to himself: You are really in a hurry to die! He immediately agreed and retreated.
As soon as the messenger left, Zhong Min admonished: "King Yan, there was a big battle today, and our army's losses were second to none. However, all the soldiers in the army are very tired. They will definitely not be able to recover tomorrow. How can we fight?" King Yan, please don’t act out of anger!”
Yang Peng said: "I know my own rules, you don't have to say anything!" Zhong Min was very depressed.
The messenger returned to the army and reported to brother Ye Qianxiu: "Generalissimo, when Yang Peng and others saw a large box of women's clothing, they were very angry. They cannot wait for the decisive battle in three days and want to fight our army tomorrow!"
Brother Ye Qianxiu laughed loudly, "I thought King Yan Yang Peng was a difficult character to deal with, but I didn't expect it to be nothing more than that! Okay! Since he is in a hurry to die, I will help him!"
Xiao Qianbuli frowned and said: "If the war starts again tomorrow, I'm afraid the soldiers won't be able to recover!" Xiao Telie said: "What are you afraid of? If we can't recover, Yan Yun's army can't recover either. The situation on both sides is the same! "
"Yes, this is not a problem! Send an order to all armies to seize the time to rest and go to battle early tomorrow morning!" Brother Ye Qianxiu said. All the generals agreed in unison.
Early the next morning, the armies of both sides once again fought in the wilderness. Nearly half a million troops fought in melee. The battle was even more fierce than the previous day! Zhong Min, the commander of the Eighth Army, fell into a tight siege and died in the battle. Yang Jing and Chen Jie were seriously injured, and Duan Zhixian was injured again! The battle lasted from morning to noon, but there was still no sign of stopping. It was not until dusk that the two sides, who were fighting inextricably and exhausted, retreated their troops.
Brother Ye Qianxiu returned to the big tent and said with great regret: "What a pity! We almost defeated Yang Peng today! Just a little bit away!"
Xiao Qianbuli frowned and said: "Today's battle was really miserable. Our army had at least thirty or forty thousand casualties!" Xiao Telie said on the side: "Yan Yun's losses are not small! Our army of four hundred thousand can afford it. But they can't afford it!" He said to Brother Yeqianxiu: "Generalissimo, I think that as long as there is another battle, they can be completely defeated!" Brother Yeqianxiu nodded and said to Zhanle : "You, send someone to declare a challenge again!"
Soon after, the messenger sent by Zhanle came back and reported: "Generalissimo, King Yan is very angry. He wants to fight us to the death tomorrow!" "Okay! I'm afraid he doesn't dare! Since he dares to come, then he He’s dead!”
After the meeting, Gan Buli left the big tent and walked towards his military tent. When I saw the exhausted and demoralized soldiers on the road, I felt worried for no reason. Returning to his tent, he was greeted by his generals Hua Chao and Hanon. Hanon hurriedly asked: "General, has the Grand Marshal decided on the next move?"
Xiao Qianbuli sat down and frowned: "The Generalissimo intended to rely on the huge advantage of military strength to win a quick victory. The strange thing is that Yang Peng actually fell into the trap repeatedly! The Generalissimo sent a messenger to write a letter of war. Yang Peng Peng is going to have a decisive battle with our army tomorrow!" Hua Cha said with a smile; "Okay! We just wiped them out in one go!" Hanon said doubtfully: "How could King Yan be so unwise and fight so hard with our army! It's not like him. What is your style? Although the Yanyun army is powerful, it is far inferior to our army after all. After these two days of bloody battles, they are at the end of their strength. If they fight again tomorrow, they will definitely be defeated. He, King Yan, has Even with three heads and six arms, there is nothing we can do to save him!"
Xiao Qianbuli nodded, "I feel strange too!"
Hua Cha said angrily: "I don't think there's anything surprising! Then Yang Peng must have thought that it would be impossible to defend to the death, so he took the initiative to attack, hoping to repel our army!" Xiao Qianbuli thought: "You That makes sense, maybe I’m overly concerned!”
One night passed, the sky brightened, and the armies of both sides once again formed military formations in the wilderness. This time, the momentum of the Khitan army was much weaker than before. The soldiers, who were exhausted physically and mentally after two days of bloody battles, looked demoralized.
Brother Ye Qianxiu raised his scimitar and shouted loudly: "The outcome depends on today's battle! Whoever can take Yang Peng's head, I recommend that he be made a Marquis of Ten Thousand Houses and rewarded with ten thousand gold!" The amazing reward is like a needle. Chicken blood poured into the hearts of the Khitan soldiers, watching them regain some momentum.
"The whole army is ready!" Brother Ye Qianxiu shouted loudly. The trumpet sounded for a long time, and the Khitan army officers and soldiers shouted one after another. The Khitan army often makes such moves before launching an attack, mainly to improve morale and also to deter the opponent.
Brother Ye Qianxiu was about to order an attack when he suddenly heard the loud sound of war drums on the opposite side and was startled. Immediately, I saw the opposite line open. Nearly 20,000 horses and horses were all wearing heavy armor. The majestic warriors with murderous intent slowly came out of the military formation. Those 20,000 warriors, with high morale, were obviously a powerful army!
Brother Ye Qianxiu and others were greatly surprised. Brother Ye Qianxiu opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief: "Why did such an army suddenly appear?" The Khitan army did not know that Yan Yun's 20,000 formation-breaking cavalry had arrived. , in these two days of bloody battles, although the Yanyun Army was in danger, the formation-breaking cavalry never appeared. Therefore, no one in the Khitan Army, including Brother Ye Qianxiu, even expected that the Yanyun Army was still hiding. Such a new force! A bad premonition arose in Gan Buli's heart. The officers and soldiers of the Khitan Army couldn't help but panic when they saw such a powerful new force suddenly appearing in the Yanyun Army.
The 20,000 formation-breaking cavalry quickly formed a horizontal charging formation, with 2,000 people per row, forming a total of ten rows. The formation-breaking cavalry in the first, fourth, and sixth rows are more majestic, tall, and imposing than the other formation-breaking cavalry. They are not ordinary formation-breaking cavalry, but the so-called 'Yan King's cavalry' equipped with King Yan's horses. ', the combat power is more powerful than the ordinary formation-breaking cavalry! The fierce generals Huyan Chijin, Yang Gui, Sixing, Duan Zhixian, and Huyan will appear among the cavalry.
Xiao Qianbuli said urgently to Brother Ye Qianxiu: "Generalissimo, don't let them charge!"
Brother Ye Qianxiu frowned and immediately ordered the remaining tens of thousands of iron pagodas under his command to attack first, and at the same time ordered the light cavalry to attack from both wings.
Ten thousand tired Tiefutu rushed out with a cry and rushed towards the formation-breaking cavalry on the opposite side. At the same time, hundreds of thousands of light cavalry rushed out from both wings. For a moment, I saw the surging iron hooves, as powerful as the tide.
The first row of King Yan's cavalry shouted fiercely, and under the leadership of Duan Zhixian, they urged their horses to meet them. The ground trembled, as if a row of mountains were surging forward, and the momentum immediately trampled the iron pagoda under their feet. Immediately, the second and third rows of formation-breaking cavalry, led by Sixing and Huyanbixian respectively, attacked the left and right wings. At this time, all the light cavalry of the Yanyun Army also rushed out of the formation to cooperate with the formation-breaking cavalry to fight against the opponent's light cavalry. cavalry.
Zhan Jinguo led the King of Yan's cavalry and rushed into the middle of the Iron Buddha Tu. The people in the Iron Buddha Tu felt as if an extremely powerful tide had crashed in. They were horrified in their hearts and were immediately killed so that they fell off their backs! The iron pagoda, which was quite fierce before, seemed to have no resistance at this point. I saw the maces of King Yan's cavalry roaring and flying. The iron pagodas were flying with blood and flesh, and they fell on their horses one after another. It was really invincible to anyone who blocked it! In the blink of an eye, the Iron Buddhas could no longer resist and collapsed!
Brother Ye Qianxiu and others were shocked.
The Tiefutu were defeated along the edges of both sides of their own formation, while Zhan Jinguo led the King of Yan's cavalry in hot pursuit. At the same time, the main force of the formation-breaking cavalry was activated. Fourteen thousand formation-breaking cavalry launched a charge against the Jin army's formation with the most terrifying King Yan's cavalry as the vanguard! The roar was like thunder, like a tiger coming out of its box, and the earth shook, as if the mighty power of heaven descended on the world! Before the battle started, the soldiers of the Jin Army had already changed their colors!
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow quickly!" Brother Ye Qianxiu shouted at the top of his lungs.
The Khitan army's crossbowmen hurriedly fired arrows, and the rain of arrows fell into the middle of the formation-breaking cavalry, but they were all bounced away by the heavy armor of the formation-breaking cavalry. The dense rain of arrows actually did no harm to them at all!
In the blink of an eye, the torrent of formation-breaking cavalry hit the Khitan army's front line heavily, and there was only a loud noise like the waves crashing on the shore. How could the exhausted Khitan army withstand such a fierce impact? They flew out like bowling balls after being hit, and the defense line collapsed in an instant! Yang Gui and Huyan Chijin took the lead and led the tiger-like formation-breaking cavalry into the Khitan army's formation. They charged bravely and killed the Khitan army. The Khitan army was so bloody that they fell on their backs. The formation composed of hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops was completely shaken!
Brother Ye Qianxiu was panicked and hurriedly mobilized all the heavy armored infantry to fight against the fierce formation-breaking cavalry. The heavy armored infantry of the Khitan Army rushed forward, but were cut down like seedlings in front of a harvester! Yang Gui swung a heavy hammer and smashed the helmets of the enemy soldiers into pieces, causing blood to fly. Huyan Chijin waved his spear and moved forward without a single general. Those iron cavalry that broke the formation were also extremely ferocious, like tigers entering a herd of sheep!
At this time, Yang Peng led the entire army to attack, and the Khitan army, which was already unable to resist, became even more panicked. The morale of the Yanyun army was like a rainbow. After ten battles and ten battles, the Khitan army finally couldn't resist the total collapse. Hundreds of thousands of troops abandoned their helmets and turned around and ran backwards. At this time, the light cavalry on both wings of the Khitan army were also defeated by the Yanyun army and were in the process of fleeing.
Yan Yun's army roared and pursued them until they had gone more than thirty miles before retreating. In the wilderness of more than thirty miles, corpses were everywhere, blood flowed into channels, and armor weapons and baggage abandoned by the Khitan soldiers were piled up like mountains.
Yang Peng immediately stood on the hill, looking at the tragic battlefield in front of him, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Duan Zhixian galloped up to Chen Xiao and said with great excitement: "Brother, big brother! We have won a great victory! The 400,000 Khitan troops were killed, hundreds of thousands were killed, and hundreds of thousands were captured, and the rest were just frightened birds!" Yang Peng smiled and said, "Our losses are not small! The Eighth Army lost more than half, even Zhong Min was killed, and the cavalry also lost 20,000 to 30,000. This battle can only be regarded as a tragic victory!"
Duan Zhixian said carelessly: "There is no immortality in a war! As long as you win, it's good!"
Yang Peng smiled, glanced at the battlefield littered with corpses, and ordered: "Leave some of the troops to clean the battlefield, while the others retreat to calm down and rest!" Duan Zhixian agreed, turned his horse's head, and ran down. Some people may wonder why Yang Peng doesn't pursue the victory at this time? The reason is very simple. Yan Yun's army suffered a lot of losses. At the same time, it was exhausted and unable to pursue.
Brother Ye Ganxiu fled westward back to Bingzhou City. After the shock subsided, I checked the losses and found that only 160,000 to 70,000 of the previous 400,000 troops were left! Not only that, the generals under his command also suffered heavy losses, including generals Mutuo and Xiao Tianfeng, as well as Hanon, an important general under Xiao Qianbuli. Xiao Tian was seriously injured on the left side of his body and is being rescued. Brother Ye Qianxiu wants to cry but has no tears, and he even wants to die!
Xiao Qianbuli sighed, "It was King Yan who fell to the ground! He fought fiercely with our army for two consecutive days, just to paralyze and exhaust our army!" Brother Ye Qianxiu was very depressed. He originally thought that his opponent had fallen. He fell into his own trap, but he didn't expect that he had fallen into his opponent's trap.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
