Yang Peng smiled coldly, raised his iron horse, and swung forward violently. More than 3,000 formation-breaking cavalry shouted loudly, and followed Yang Peng in launching a charge, surging like a tide, moving forward indomitably! Han Chang originally thought that the other party was going to escape, but he did not expect that the other party actually launched a charge again. He was shocked and it was too late to form a formation, so he could only order all the warriors under his command to meet him.
In the blink of an eye, the warriors from both sides collided with each other in the street and started a massacre! Maces and scimitars were flying all over the sky, mixed with the blood of soldiers on both sides, and roars and screams were heard. Amidst the screams of war horses, only people could be seen turning on their backs! Yan Yun's formation-breaking cavalry was extremely ferocious. Although the Khitan army's cavalry had the numerical advantage, they could not withstand the terrifying power of Yan Yun's formation-breaking cavalry. After only a moment of fighting, they suffered heavy casualties and were frightened!
After a while, Yan Yun's formation-breaking cavalry violently defeated the Khitan army's cavalry and charged towards the Khitan army's infantry. The fleeing Khitan army's cavalry had no way to escape and had no choice but to rush towards their own army formation!
At the same time, on the streets on the left and right, Zhanjin Kingdom and Huyan Chijin were already locked in a bloody battle. Facing an enemy that was ten times their size, Yan Yun's army rushed to kill them with all their strength, and the front and back of the army marched forward inexorably. The battle was extremely tragic! Zhanjin Kingdom and Huyan Chijin were like crazy tigers, their eyes were blood red and they were completely crazy. They waved their weapons desperately and kept killing the enemies in front of them. The flying blood kept soaking their bodies. At this moment, they only had the only thing in their hearts. One thought, that is 'kill'! The killing turned the color of the world, and the killing was thrilling. The people turned into bloody men, and the horses turned into blood horses. The direction of the soldiers was unstoppable! The Khitan army also tried their best, roaring and charging forward!
The streets on the left are already choked with corpses and the ditches are filled with blood. The streets on the right are also in the same situation. I don’t know how many Khitan soldiers have been killed by them! However, Yan Yun's army suffered extremely heavy losses!
The Khitan army surged up again, and after a fierce fight, they surrounded the Kingdom of Zhanjin and the remaining two to three hundred cavalry regiments. At the same time, Huyan Chijin also fell into a tight siege; Guo Tong on the city wall couldn't help the Khitan army going crazy. They were charging like fierce enemies and were retreating steadily; but Yang Peng had already defeated Han Chang's troops. Han Chang's soldiers were running like wolves and hogs in a hurry to escape for their lives. Yang Peng led the formation-breaking cavalry to pursue them one after another, killing Han Chang's army with corpses. Xue Fei was extremely frightened!
However, at this moment, the rumble of horse hooves came in front of them, and the Khitan army was seen rushing towards Tiefutu. The leading generals were all trusted generals under Xiao Qianbuli's command. The Khitan Army's cavalry ignored Han Changjun who was fleeing for his life on the street and rushed straight away. As a result, many Han Changjun soldiers who could not escape were killed. Even Han Chang himself almost died under his own iron hoof.
Han Chang had just stopped being frightened when he suddenly heard an extremely loud and thrilling crash on the street behind him. He quickly turned around and saw that the cavalry of both sides had collided with each other on the street. Yan Yun's army was like a tiger or a dragon, waving its mace. The iron pagoda on our side also waved the battle ax without showing any signs of weakness; the beast-like roar was mixed with the clang of the ax hitting the human body, and in the flying blood rain, we saw the soldiers of both sides turning on their backs; Yang Peng, who was leading the way, was particularly fierce, with his hand The iron horse is like a swimming dragon. Every time it swings, one of its own soldiers will be dismounted. Even those powerful generals are not his generals at all.
Han Chang came back to his senses and was shocked when he saw Xiao Qianbuli's battle flag heading this way. After looking at the defeated soldiers around him, he quickly gathered them up, turned into the alley next to him, and went around behind Yang Peng, intending to attack Yang Peng from behind.
The brigade led by Xiao Qianbuli came to the scene and frowned when they saw the inextricable armored battle between the two sides. He did not send other troops to help in the battle, because the streets were too narrow to accommodate other troops to participate in the battle, not to mention that the two sides were fighting with armored warriors and cavalry, and the other troops could not help except for dying in vain!
At this moment, Xiao Qianbuli saw Han Chang leading an army to appear behind Yan Yun's army and launch an assault. Yan Yunjun was concentrating on the fierce battle with the Iron Buddha Tu in front. Unexpectedly, the enemy suddenly came from behind. He was killed by surprise and panicked.
Seeing this, Xiao Qianbuli smiled and nodded, obviously quite satisfied with Han Chang's performance. However, Yan Yun's army was an elite division after all. After only a brief panic, they calmed down and divided a part of them to attack Han Chang's troops, and immediately killed Han Chang's troops and retreated step by step.
Xiao Qianbuli saw that the battle in front of him was unlikely to be fruitful in a short time, so he raised his head and looked into the distance, only to see that the troops on the city wall were approaching the city gate. It seemed that the rebels could no longer resist. However, at this moment, for some unknown reason, many of our own soldiers on the city wall fell down from the city wall inexplicably. Then the rebels cheered, while our own soldiers seemed very flustered. Gan Buli's heart moved and his expression changed, "No! The enemy's army is coming!" He then ordered the generals next to him: "Quick! Go around and seize the city gate!" The generals agreed and prepared to take action. But at this moment, I saw figures surging at the city gate in the distance, and countless people and horses surged in.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Qianbuli's expression changed drastically. Seeing the generals around him standing there in a daze, he shouted angrily: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Go!" The generals came to their senses and immediately led their men around to the front. on the battlefield and rushed towards the city gate.
When the Khitan army arrived at the city gate, a considerable number of Yanyun troops had already entered the city. The Khitan army was preparing to launch a counterattack, but they didn't expect that the other party would attack first! What came were thousands of Mo Dao troops wearing heavy armor and holding Mo Dao iron towers. The leader was a black-faced god with a steel needle beard on his face. He was very ferocious. He was wearing heavy armor, but without a helmet, and carried a weapon with both hands. Wearing a pair of huge pure steel axes!
The two sides couldn't help but immediately ran into each other and started fighting! Mo Dao's army moved forward bravely, cutting off all the people and horses wherever the sword passed by. Yang Jing became even more ferocious, screaming strangely again and again, wielding a pair of axes and started killing people in crowded places. He saw blood flying and screaming repeatedly, and the Khitan army was killed. You have to retreat continuously!
As more and more Yanyun troops entered the city, the balance of the war gradually tilted towards the Yanyun army! Thousands of infantry troops, led by several powerful generals, rushed up the city wall and joined forces with Pharmacist Guo to counterattack the Khitan army! The Khitan army was panicked and their morale was already dampened. They continued to retreat under the fierce counterattack of the opponent.
Jiao Ting led nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses into the street on the left. He was shocked to see mountains of corpses on the street in front of him and a sea of blood and water. Yang Dezheng and a hundred or so cavalry sergeants who broke the formation were still fighting hard in the enemy's siege, roaring like tigers, and their bodies were full of blood. Bathed in blood, extremely tragic! Jiao Ting and others were shocked and immediately killed him. The Khitan army had already exhausted its morale in the previous bloody battles. Now it suddenly saw a large group of Yanyun troops coming to kill them.
Jiao Ting came to Yang Dezheng and saw that his true appearance was hard to distinguish because he was covered in blood. He couldn't help but stand in awe, clasped his fists and said, "General Yang, rest, and leave the rest to us!" But Yang Dezheng shook his head. Shaking his head, "It's no big deal, let's kill together!" Then he rode his horse and chased the enemy's troops. The formation-breaking cavalry quickly followed, and one of the formation-breaking cavalry fell off his horse because he was so seriously injured. Jiao Ting quickly ordered people to rescue him, while he led his troops to pursue Yang Dezheng.
At this time, the situation on the right street was the same. Just when Huyan Chijin was in great danger, Yang Erya led nearly 10,000 soldiers to rescue them. He then joined forces to defeat the enemy and then pursued them. The enemy troops at the gate of the city finally could not withstand the continuous fierce attacks of Yan Yun's army and were defeated like a mountain. Yanyun's army chased them one after another. Seeing that the Khitan army could no longer resist. Xiao Qianbuli was still unwilling to give in, and ordered his soldiers to bring all the gunpowder up and arrange the gunpowder along a street in the north of Guancheng.
The Khitan army could no longer resist and collapsed one after another. Xiao Qian was helpless and could only order a retreat in advance. The armies crossed the gunpowder defense line arranged by Xiao Qianbuli one after another, and Yan Yun's army chased them behind. Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Qianbuli ordered the crossbowmen to fire rockets before his own troops had withdrawn across the gunpowder line.
The crossbowmen who had been waiting for orders immediately fired arrows at the gunpowder line in the distance, and saw a rain of fire streaking across the night sky and falling on the long street. Immediately, countless fire heads sprang up, and at this moment, Yan Yun's army hugged the Khitan army and fought across the street.
Boom boom boom...! Violent explosions suddenly sounded, and together, huge fireballs rushed into the night sky, illuminating the entire Yanmen Pass as if it were daytime! Countless Khitan Army soldiers and Yanyun Army soldiers did not expect this, and were engulfed in flames one after another. Under the deafening explosions, there was a strange silence!
Xiao Qianbuli took the opportunity to lead the retreating generals and soldiers to counterattack. They ran into a large army led by Yang Peng and Han Bing. The two sides fought fiercely in the middle of Guancheng. Looking from a distance, they could only see the flashing light of shadowy swords and roars reaching into the sky! Suddenly the Yanyun army rushed over and killed the Khitan soldiers, causing them to fall on their backs. Suddenly the Khitan army came over and bumped into the Yanyun army, causing some confusion. The soldiers and horses on both sides suddenly seemed to be fighting and fighting inextricably!
At this moment, Yang Dezheng led a hundred bloody armored cavalry around the enemy's back and launched a sudden attack. When the Khitan army saw those one hundred terrifying murderous gods suddenly appearing in front of them under the moonlight, the shock in their hearts was absolutely indescribable! Yang Dezheng and a hundred armored warriors rushed into the middle of the Khitan army, rushing forward with all their strength and risking their lives! The entire Khitan army was shocked. At the same time, Yang Peng and Han Bing led the main force to attack head on! The Khitan army could no longer resist and was defeated like a mountain! Xiao Qianbuli kept roaring at the top of his lungs and slashed to death more than a dozen fleeing soldiers, but it had no effect. Even he himself was carried away by the defeated soldiers and fled towards the north.
The Yanyun army chased him in waves, killing the Khitan army corpses in the streets and alleys, filling the ditches with blood. The Khitan army soldiers were terrified and only regretted that their parents had lost two legs. The Khitan army officers and soldiers scrambled to escape from Guancheng, and the Yanyun army's infantry and cavalry immediately chased them out, chasing them for dozens of miles, and then retreated when the sky became brighter.
The sun rises from the east, the darkness quickly disappears, and the earth sees light again. Smoke billowed from the majestic Yanmen Pass, the streets and alleys were filled with corpses, and the blood turned the entire city dark red. The dripping sound was not water droplets, but bright red blood; the air was filled with a thick The smell of blood, combined with the smell of gunpowder smoke, makes people feel suffocated; north of the city gate, in the wilderness that stretches for dozens of miles, corpses are everywhere, and horses that have lost their owners are scattered everywhere.
Xiao Qianbuli waited until he saw that the pursuers were no longer chasing him, so he stopped to rest. The Khitan soldiers sat sparsely on the grass. No one spoke, only breathing was heard. A general returned to Gan Buli's side with a gloomy look on his face, as if he was hesitant to speak. Gan Buli glanced at him and asked: "How is it? How many troops are left?" The general swallowed his saliva, "Only, there are only more than 25,000 people!..."
Xiao Qianbuli was shocked, "What? There are only more than 20,000 people?" The general nodded, "They are all cavalry, not a single infantry was seen! In addition, many generals are also missing, including General Han Chang !" Xiao Qianbuli was heartbroken and his mind went blank, not knowing what to do. Suddenly someone shouted: "General Han Chang is back!" Xiao Qianbuli quickly stood up and followed the sound, and saw several knights galloping from the south, and the one leading them was Han Chang. Han Chang and others rushed to Gan Buli, reined in the horse, rolled off the saddle, and lay on the ground unable to stand up for a while. Several soldiers and officers immediately stepped forward, helped them up, and helped them come to Gan Buli.
Xiao Qianbuli saw Han Chang's face covered with blood, seven or eight wounds on his body, stab wounds and gunshot wounds, and two half-arrow arrows stuck in his left shoulder. It was obvious that he had narrowly escaped death. Xiao Qianbuli didn't know what to say and sighed. Han Chang cried: "The last general's army, the last general's army...!" Everyone couldn't help feeling sad.
Han Chang sat down next to Gan Buli, and with the help of an officer, he took off his clothes, revealing his naked upper body, and the wounds on his body were even more shocking. The officer carefully pulled out the arrow, then rinsed the wound with clean water, applied gold sore medicine, and then carefully bandaged each wound with a piece of white cloth. Han Chang felt a little more relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Qian Buli, he couldn't help but ask: "General, what should we do now?"
Xiao Qianbuli sighed, "What else can I do? Go back and wait for the princess's punishment! Hey, this battle has been defeated so miserably, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life!" Han Chang was also worried and didn't know what to say. .
At this moment, the rumble of horse hooves suddenly came from the north. The Khitan army was already frightened. When they heard such a noise, they were all startled. They all stood up and looked towards the north. I saw a huge cavalry unit running around a forest in the distance and rushing towards this side. After seeing the opponent's uniform and flag clearly, the panic expression of the Khitan army officers immediately turned into surprise. Many people couldn't help but wave and shout at them. It turned out that the coming army was not the Yanyun army, but the Khitan army.
One hundred thousand Khitan army war cavalry rumbled in, and soon they came to Xiao Qianbuli's face. Only then did Gan Buli discover that the leader was Xiao Loushi. Seeing Gan Buli and his subordinates in such a mess, Xiao Loushi was shocked for a moment, and then asked after a while: "Are you really defeated?" Xiao Qian Buli was very ashamed, nodded, and then asked in confusion: "Xiao Why did General Lou Shi come here?" Xiao Lou Shi frowned and said: "The princess is leading the army to Yanmen Pass. Unexpectedly, a broken army came to report last night, saying that Yanmen Pass was raided and the situation was critical. Therefore, the princess ordered me to lead a hundred thousand troops. The cavalry came to support, but unexpectedly it was a step too late!"
Xiao Qianbuli sighed. Xiao Loushi asked: "What is the situation at Yanmen Pass now? If my one hundred thousand warriors fight back, will they be able to recapture Yanmen Pass?" Xiao Qianbuli shook his head, "Impossible! There are dozens of troops under the command of Yan King Yang Peng. Wanbuqi, Han Bing, Yang Dezheng, Huyan Chijin and other generals are here. If General Xiao Loushi and these 100,000 cavalry go there rashly, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen!"
Xiao Loushi thought for a moment and said to Xiao Qianbuli: "The princess must really want to know the battle situation at Yanmen Pass. General Xiao Qianbuli, please go with me to see the princess!" Xiao Qianbuli was frightened, but couldn't shirk it, so he clicked nod. Xiao Loushi asked his deputy general to lead the army to stay in place, while he and Xiao Qianbuli galloped towards the north with dozens of cavalry. Half a day later in the afternoon, he saw a huge army coming towards him. Gan Buli knew that it was the princess's army, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Dozens of people flew straight towards the royal flag. When they saw the team stopped, it must have been that Ye Qi Guanyin discovered them and ordered the army to stop advancing. Dozens of people galloped in front of Yeqi Guanyin, who was dressed in a military uniform and looked heroic. They reined in their horses, dismounted and worshiped: "Greetings to the princess!"
Ye Qi Guanyin glanced at Xiao Qian Buli and asked, "Yanmen Pass is lost?" His tone was very flat. Xiao Qianbuli was extremely nervous, nodded, and then said: "The last general is incompetent! The last general failed to guard Yanmen Pass!" Ye Qianguanyin was silent for a moment, "Xiao Qianbuli, you are not a mediocre general. I don't believe that Yan Yunjun can Breaking Yanmen Pass overnight! Our Khitan army is not made of paper, how could two hundred thousand soldiers and horses not be able to withstand the Yanyun army's attack?" After saying this, Ye Qi Guanyin's tone showed anger.
Xiao Qianbuli kowtowed and said: "The general dare not beg the king for forgiveness! However, the reason why this battle was like this was because Guo Tong turned against him and opened the city gate. Although the general and others fought back desperately, they were unable to recover in the end, and the battle was defeated. close!"
Tong was shocked and angry: "Guo Tong? He rebelled?!" Xiao Qianbuli said: "Not only did he rebel, but all the ten thousand soldiers and horses under his command also rebelled! They captured the city gate by surprise, and then let Yan Yun go. A large army of troops entered the city. Although our army resisted desperately, it was still defeated! Only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were left among the 200,000 soldiers!" The generals around Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but exclaimed, 200,000 soldiers and horses The soldiers and horses fought so hard that only more than 20,000 people were left, which shows how brutal the battle was!
Ye Qi Guanyin's face became calmer and said, "Everyone, get up." Xiao Loushi stood up, but Xiao Qianbuli said: "I have lost Yanmen Pass, and my crime is unforgivable. I ask your Majesty to execute me according to military law!"
Ye Qi Guanyin shook his head and frowned: "Although you are responsible for the failure of Yanmen Pass, it is mainly because of my improper employment of people!" Then he said angrily: "I didn't see this duplicitous bastard clearly!" He looked at Xiao Qianbuli. , "Get up!" Xiao Qianbuli responded and stood up. Ye Qi Guanyin thought for a moment and said to Lou Shi: "Go and bring back the troops in front." Xiao Lou Shi responded, turned his horse's head and ran down. Ye Qi Guanyin said to the generals around him: "Send the order and the army will be stationed on the spot." All the generals agreed in unison. At this time, they were located near Langya Village, which was only sixty or seventy miles away from Yanmen Pass.
The army set up camp and all the generals gathered in the big tent. General Dalan said to Ye Qi Guanyin: "Yanmen Pass has been lost. Should we go south again?" All the generals looked at Wanyan Qingfeng. Ye Qi Guanyin showed a thoughtful look on her face, and after a moment she said flatly: "The plan remains unchanged!" All the generals were very surprised. Xiao Telie said: "Yanmen Pass has been lost. If we go south again, wouldn't we have to attack Yanmen Pass? I'm afraid... ..." Although he didn't finish what he said, everyone understood what he meant. Yanmen Pass is a dangerous pass and the Yanyun Army is a strong and powerful brigade. I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses by storming Yanmen Pass!
Ye Qi Guanyin stood up, walked to the middle of the tent, looked at the grass outside the tent, and said: "Despite such changes, our army still has an army of 500,000, and its strength is even greater than that of Yan Yun's army! "After a pause, he frowned and said: "Now that both Xixia and Song have sent troops, if our army gives up halfway, wouldn't it mean that the long-planned plan of the three families to destroy Yanyun has failed? Therefore, we cannot retreat. Not only can we not retreat, but we must also counterattack Yanmen Pass. !”
The generals looked at each other in confusion. Although they felt that what Ye Qi Guanyin said was reasonable, I am afraid that this counterattack on Yanmen Pass would be in vain! ? Ye Qi Guanyin continued: "If my estimate is correct, the situation in Hedong and Huainan must be very unfavorable to the Yanyun Army. Since the Yanyun Army has captured Yanmen Pass, it is bound to send troops to Hedong and Huainan to support, so we have to face The right number of Yanyun troops is not very large! As for how to break through Yanmen Pass," Ye Qi Guanyin said this, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, and he glanced at the generals, "I have my own way, you don't have to worry! "
The sight turns to Yanmen Pass. The generals gathered in the hall of Yanmen Pass, and Yang Jiumei was reporting the losses and results to Yang Peng: "..., the enemy army was more than 200,000, and nearly 100,000 were killed and nearly 70,000 were captured. In addition, some were captured. A large amount of baggage and supplies and more than 50,000 war horses; our army suffered more than 10,000 killed and nearly 40,000 injured."
Yang Peng frowned and said: "I didn't expect that our army also paid the price of 50,000 casualties! It was more than I expected!" Looking at Tong, he smiled and said: "General Guo, this time our army was able to break through Yanmen Pass so smoothly. You should be the first to take credit!" Guo Tong quickly stepped out and said modestly: "This is all due to the power of King Yan and the service of all the generals. How can the last general have any credit!" Yang Jing said carelessly: "Having merit means merit. You have merit, why are you talking about these nonsense? You guys are so hypocritical, I don’t like it at all. If you hadn’t made the first step to atone for your merits, I would have chopped you into three pieces with my two axes!"
Guo Tong hurriedly clasped his fists at Yang Jing and said, "The general taught you a lesson!" Seeing Guo Tong being so obedient, Yang Jing's inner resentment immediately subsided for the most part. He nodded at the big black head and said, "You're quite sensible. I'm thinking about it." For the sake of your atonement this time, I won't care about your previous sins!" Guo Tong thanked him quickly.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
