Before Yeqihu City could figure out what was going on, he only heard the sound of horse hooves rushing to the entrance of the big tent, and several screams almost at the same time. Then the black shadow flashed, and a knight rushed into the big tent on horseback. Even though Ye Qi Hucheng was extremely brave, he was still shocked to see such a scene. At this time, there was no light in the big tent and it was completely dark, and the person who came could not be seen clearly. He just felt that the person who came was definitely someone with bad intentions, so he subconsciously grabbed the mace placed at the edge of the marching collapse.
Seeing the knight rushing up, Ye Qian Hucheng sneered in his heart: "You are here to die!" 'Thinking like this, his body has already moved. He takes a step forward with his right foot and moves the mace with both hands to sweep towards the belly of the opponent's horse. If it hits this time, the war horse will have no chance of being spared, and the one on its back The knight will also be thrown off his horse. At this moment, Ye Qian Hucheng suddenly saw his opponent's hands move, and at the same time there was a flash of cold light, and then he saw the sharp horse blade heading straight towards his right arm at an astonishing speed! Yeqian Hucheng did not expect that the opponent would respond so quickly and ruthlessly, and was shocked. Seeing that if he continued to fight like this, he could kill the opponent's horse, but he would also lose one of his right arms. At the critical moment, he suddenly Shengchi stopped his forward momentum and bounced to the left. He felt the cold air from his opponent's Ma Shu blade sweep past him just a short distance in front of him, and his hair stood up involuntarily!
Ye Qian Hucheng swung his mace and wanted to attack his opponent's back, but he didn't expect that the opponent was faster and used a carbine move to stab him in the face. Ye Qian Hucheng hurriedly waved his mace, and the two weapons collided with a loud clang. The knight suddenly turned his horse's head, swung the machete with his right hand and swept towards Yeqihu City. There was no time between this move and the previous move to return the carbine. Yeqihu City was unable to block it for a moment, so he had to lower his body. The ground rolled to avoid this powerful move!
Before he could stand up, he saw that the opponent had already charged forward on horseback, trying to use the impact of the horse to hit him. The war horse neighed and the man stood up, raised his two front hooves and stepped on Yeqi Tiger City. Yeqian Hucheng had no time to wield the mace, so he threw it away in the midst of his busy schedule, grabbed a horse's hoof with both hands, burst out with strength, roared angrily, and the heavy hoofs of the war horse could no longer step on them. The horses butt each other up to form a confrontation.
The knight screamed in surprise and wanted to assassinate Ye Qi Hucheng with his horse spear, but at this moment Ye Qi Hucheng's whole body was almost pressed against the horse's belly, and the horse spear in the knight's hand was unable to attack at all. drink! ! Suddenly, Yeqi Hucheng let out a thunderous roar and pushed forward with all his strength. The war horse took two steps back, and Yeqi Hucheng also took two steps back. The knight immediately laughed and said: "What a great Yeqihucheng, he is indeed the best warrior in the Liao Kingdom!" As soon as Yeqihucheng heard this voice, his eyes widened and he shouted in great surprise: "Yang Peng! You are the King of Yan, Yang Peng!"
At this moment, there was a surge of people at the entrance of the big tent, and all the soldiers roared and rushed in to rescue their king. Seeing that there was no chance, Yang Peng immediately turned his horse's head and ran into the middle of the soldiers. The horse collided and hit, killing all the soldiers staggering, and he single-handedly broke out of the siege.
Ye Qianhu City chased them out. At this time, the Khitan army in the camp had already reacted, and the infantry and cavalry were gathering here like a tide. From a distance, Yeqian Hucheng saw Yang Peng and dozens of other warriors fighting their way out of the military camp, but their own soldiers were unable to stop them. Ye Qi Hucheng shouted angrily, got on his horse, took the mace handed over by his own soldiers, and shouted: "Yang Peng, don't run!" Then he led countless soldiers to chase him.
The two sides, one in front and one behind, rushed out of the military camp one after another. Yang Peng had no intention of stopping at all. He led dozens of riders in front and galloped wildly. Only human figures flickered under the cold moonlight; while the army of Yeli Hucheng Then he chased after him like a tide, and the furious Yeli Hucheng wanted to eat Yang Peng alive!
Seeing that Yang Peng and the others had passed through the open space between the two woods, they ran up the hillside in front and stopped. Seeing Yang Peng stop, Ye Qihu City felt happy. At this moment, Han Chang next to him suddenly screamed: "Be careful of cold arrows!" Almost at the same time, Yeli Hucheng saw a cold light flying from the hillside, as fast as lightning! Yeqi Hucheng was startled and subconsciously reined in his horse. The horse neighed and stood up. Almost at the same time, a sharp arrow penetrated the horse's neck and flew past Yeqi Hucheng's cheek. The hat of Ye Qianhu City was also knocked away!
The war horse screamed and fell to the ground, knocking Yeqihu City to the ground. The Khitan soldiers were shocked and reined in their horses one after another. No one knew who was holding the lead. The soldiers bent their bows and shot arrows towards the hillside. . However, more than two hundred steps away, the wolf-fang arrows shot by the Khitan soldiers fell to the ground before they could fly up the hillside.
At this moment, another flash of lightning flashed on the hillside, and the Khitan soldiers were shocked. Someone exclaimed: "Be careful!" Almost at the same time, a scream rang out, and everyone hurriedly followed the sound, only to see Xiao Dallan. The general's general, Echuan, was falling off his horse! The officers and soldiers of the Khitan army couldn't help but feel frightened. Everyone was in danger. They wanted to escape, but they felt that it was really embarrassing to be scared away by dozens of the opponent's cavalry. Therefore, everyone felt in a dilemma!
call out! Suddenly there was a sharp sound on the hillside. The Khitan soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that it was the scream of an arrow. Han Chang and other quick-reacting generals suddenly thought of something, their expressions suddenly changed, and they exclaimed: "No!..." However, before he could finish his words, there was a sudden sound of killing in the forest on both sides, and the sound of horse hoofbeats. thunder. The Khitan army officers were startled, and looked out according to the sound. Under the moonlight, they saw countless warriors rushing out, like a terrifying pack of wolves!
Two Yanyun war cavalry crashed into the middle of the Khitan army. The Khitan army was caught off guard and was immediately killed. The men turned their backs on their horses and fell into chaos. At the same time, Yang Peng led the dozens of cavalry and rushed down, like a mountain torrent rushing down unstoppably. The Khitan at the head was The soldiers could not help but feel fear!
Yang Peng led dozens of cavalry to rush into the enemy's thicket, and bravely moved forward. The horses and horses opened and closed, and the tigers and tigers created the wind, raising blood all over the sky. The Khitan soldiers were invincible, and there was no one who could unite, and flesh and blood flew everywhere. , people fall on their backs! Yang Peng is like a terrifying god of death, while Yanyun War Cavalry is like a pack of ferocious tigers and wolves, waving their sharp claws and fangs to harvest the lives of Khitan soldiers wantonly!
The Khitan army could not withstand such a fierce charge and retreated in defeat. Yang Peng led the cavalry to pursue them all the way, killing and wounding countless Khitan troops. The fleeing Khitan troops were like frightened birds. Yan Yun's army had already stopped pursuing, but the frightened Khitan soldiers had no intention of stopping. They ran like crazy, only hating their parents for having lost two legs. It wasn't until they ran into the camp that they finally relaxed. One breath!
Yeqi Hucheng had just recovered from the shock. When he recalled what he had just experienced, he felt that the enemy only had two or three thousand horses, but more than 20,000 of his own troops were actually killed in such a huge defeat. It was really embarrassing and he cursed angrily: "They're all trash! They're all trash!" The generals were ashamed and lowered their heads.
Ye Qian Hucheng shouted to Han Chang: "Let's do some statistics to see how many soldiers and horses were lost?" After saying this, he returned to the big tent, followed closely by the generals. Arriving at the big tent, Ye Qi Hucheng suddenly turned around and said angrily: "I didn't expect that Yang Peng would dare to lead dozens of cavalry to raid our camp!" He looked at Dalan, "Dalan, you are Why are you on the night watch? Yang Peng has already killed me in my tent, and you are still unaware! You are such a loser!" Da Lan was frightened, and quickly knelt down to apologize: "The general has neglected his duty, please forgive me!"
Ye Qian Hucheng's eyes widened, "Excuse me? Huh, it's not that easy! You made such a big mistake and caused such serious losses. If I don't kill you, where is the military law? Come on!" The soldiers outside the door They came in immediately and saluted in unison: "Here you are!"
Ye Qian Hucheng pointed at Dalan who was extremely frightened and shouted: "Drag Dalan down and chop him down!" All the soldiers immediately stepped forward, grabbed Dalan's arms and tried to take off his clothes outside. Da Lalan was so frightened that he struggled and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, please spare your life! It's not because the general is careless, but the enemy is too cunning!" How can Yeqi Hucheng believe it? He smiled coldly. All the generals couldn't help but feel sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead, and they all appealed to Yeli Hucheng for mercy. Lou Shi said: "Your Majesty, General Dalan did not make any mistakes. We all saw that General Dalan personally led troops to patrol the night before the incident. ! Although the loss this time is not small, General Dalan is not at fault after all. If he kills General Dalan like this, I am afraid it will chill the soldiers! Please think again, your Majesty!" All the generals agreed, and Dalan watched helplessly. It is located in Yeqihu City.
Seeing that the generals dared to intercede on behalf of Dalai, Yeqian Hucheng became even more furious. He slapped the desk and shouted, "How dare you disobey this king's military order?" Speak.
However, after Ye Qian Hucheng thought about it himself, he felt that it seemed unreasonable to kill Dalan like this, but if he were to let him go, there would be no place to vent his anger, so he raised his voice and said: "I won't kill you for now. I'll beat you with two hundred military sticks to show you the majesty of military law!" Da Lan felt happy and worried at the same time. He was happy that he finally saved his life, but he was worried that he didn't know if he could survive the two hundred military sticks.
Yeqi Hucheng waved his hand and shouted: "Drag him down and execute him!" All the soldiers dragged Dalan down. At this time, Han Changzheng rushed into the tent. Seeing the scene in front of him, he did not dare to report the casualties to Yeqi Hucheng for a moment. . Then there was a loud crackling sound of a stick hitting flesh, and at the same time, Dalan's screams like killing a pig also came one after another.
Ye Qian Hucheng heard Da Lan's screams and felt even more hateful. He couldn't help but cursed: "What a loser! The warriors of the Liao Kingdom are not afraid of death. What's the big deal if they get a few sticks? They screamed like this!" He shouted loudly: "Hit me hard! Hit me hard!" The crackling sound became louder, and Dallan's scream became even more shrill, and those who heard it could not help but tremble with fear. Gradually, Dallan's screams became quieter, and eventually they were almost no longer audible! The generals looked at each other and couldn't help but think: Dallan won't just die, right? !
After a while, a soldier came in and reported: "Your Majesty, General Dallan has passed out. Do you still want to fight with a hundred sticks left?" Yeli Hucheng's anger had mostly dissipated, and he said: "Forget it, bring me with you." Go down and treat the injury." The soldier responded and ran down.
Dallan was lying on the marching platform, naked, his back and buttocks were bloody. Dallan was humming there, but his voice was very low. Looking at him like that, he might have lost 50% to 60% of his life. The old medical officer was applying medicine to him, and the purple-black ointment gradually covered the bloody skin.
Xiao Loushi walked in and couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he saw Da Lan's miserable condition. Da Lan opened his hazy eyes and saw Lou Shi, "You, are you here?" Xiao Lou Shi said, "I'm here to see you." Then he walked to a small table beside the marching collapse and sat down. At this time, the old medical officer had already given Dalian the medicine and left.
Da Lan said happily: "I finally saved my life!"
Xiao Loushi said: "Your Majesty, the King of the South Campus, have mercy on you and spare you the hundred military sticks behind you, otherwise your life will be lost!" Dalan snorted, "It was not my fault in the first place! Patrolling everywhere, The warnings everywhere were personally arranged by the King of the South Campus, and I didn't slack off at all. But when something happened, it was all blamed on me! Hey, that's how it is for us subordinates, the faults are all ours! "Suddenly he realized that he had made a mistake and said quickly: "Actually, I don't mean to blame the king. Brother, please don't misunderstand me!" Xiao Loushi laughed loudly, "Do you think I am a Han Chinese who is making trouble? Don't worry. , The words between the two of us will never reach the ears of the king! Besides, you are just complaining. After being beaten, are you not allowed to complain?" Dallan smiled gratefully.
Xiao Loushi said strangely: "The security of the military camp is not tight, so how did King Yan get in?"
Dallan said: "Afterwards, I went to inspect various places and found that all the guards at a village gate were killed, and a group of patrols nearby were also killed. Yang Peng and the others should have broken in through that village gate! Yang Peng and the others should have broken in through that gate!" There is an elite group of soldiers under his command, called the "Secret Guard", who are good at assassinations and raids. The princess has suffered from them before. They really come and go without a trace, like a ghost. It must be this "Secret Guard" who got in. Enter the military camp, then kill the sentries and patrols and open the gate!"
Xiao Loushi frowned and said, "I have heard of such an army, but I have never seen it."
Dallan said: "It's better not to see him, otherwise, I'm afraid 50% of your life will be lost!" Xiao Loushi chuckled. Dallan frowned, "Brother, I always have an uneasy feeling in my heart. I feel that this expedition may not go well!" Xiao Loushi smiled and said, "You were frightened by Yang Peng's surprise attack! "Immediately said with emotion: "I was also frightened! I didn't expect that dozens of his riders would be walking around in the camp of our hundreds of thousands of troops as if they were in no one's land! Even the King of the South Campus was in danger! Hey, Yan Wang Yangpeng is really brave and unparalleled in the world!" Dallan nodded in sympathy.
Xiao Loushi smiled and said: "But we are not going to fight him alone. Our 800,000-strong army is coming in overwhelming numbers. His Yanyun army only has more than 200,000 troops, and he has lost Baishan Mountain. I want to take back Datong Mansion." It shouldn't be a problem, maybe we can seize Yanmen Pass!" Da Lan laughed, but he didn't know that this smile affected the injury on his back, and he only felt a stinging pain all over his body, and after laughing twice, he started to feel cold.
Xiao Loushi said with a smile: "Brother, be careful, there is an injury on your back!" Da Lan calmed down and said, "Brother, I think things may not go so smoothly! Who is King Yan? Since he dares to stay The army is garrisoning Datong Mansion, I'm afraid we have some confidence! When the Central Plains was still in our hands, our army didn't have a huge advantage in every battle, but when the battle came to a later stage, even if we didn't suffer a huge defeat, we still suffered a lot. What a loss! It’s really hard for me to believe this time that we can win a big victory!”
Xiao Loushi smiled and said: "There is one thing that you may not know yet." Dalan looked puzzled. Lou Shi said: "Just now, the King of Nanyuan received a letter from Xixia!..." Da Lan was not an idiot. He immediately guessed it when he heard this, and asked happily: "Xixia sent troops?"
Lou Shi said: "The letter said that Xixia is preparing to send troops. I believe that it won't be long before the Xixia army launches an attack on Yanyun!" Dalan thought: "If the Xixia people send troops, nine out of ten they will attack Changcheng Ridge and On the Yinzhou line, the general manager of the Shaanxi-Gansu March is Yang Yanzhao, and Gao Hu is also there. I'm afraid the Xixia people won't be able to get a good deal!" Xiao Loushi smiled and said: "That's okay, as long as the Xixia people can contain part of Yanyun's army. Energy, our side has a better chance of winning! The Yan Yun Army is very strong, but considering the current situation, there shouldn't be any problem in defeating the Yan Yun Army and taking back Datong Mansion!" Da Lan thought and nodded.
Early the next morning, Yeqihu City ordered General Xiao Hong of the Left to lead an army of 300,000 people south to attack Yanmen Pass, and he himself led another 300,000 troops to attack Datong Mansion. Three hundred thousand soldiers and horses surrounded Yanmen Pass from three directions: east, north and south. The army was like a tide, with murderous intent. The screams were like the howls of wild beasts. The army was pressing down on the city and was about to be destroyed. The sound of the thunder was coming; the city wall Shang Yanyun's army was in a tight formation, just waiting for the enemy to attack.
Suddenly, a long blast of a horn passed through the sky, and the shouts and drums stopped immediately. There was silence between heaven and earth, and it was very solemn. Then there was another long blast of horns across the sky, and the sound of war drums suddenly boomed, louder and more rapid than before, and even more thrilling. The Khitan soldiers shouted fiercely and launched an attack on Datong Mansion from the east, north and south at the same time. For a moment, locust-like arrows flew in the sky, and stones streaked across the sky like meteor showers; The arrow towers and city-climbing vehicles approached the city wall like a dense forest, and the city-carrying vehicles began to hit the city gate heavily, making a thrilling loud noise; on the city wall, rolling stones and trees poured down, and only flesh and blood flew everywhere, and screams came one after another.
The Khitan army used all their strength as soon as they came up, and the battle entered a fierce stage from the beginning. Ye Qianhucheng and others looked at the battlefield that looked like Shura Field with grim expressions. Although their own army suffered heavy losses and no one had climbed onto the city wall yet, they were not in a hurry. This was the first day, and they did not expect it to be the first day. How much progress can be made? If you have that kind of idea, wouldn't it be too much to underestimate the world-famous Yan Yunjun! The main purpose of this first day's attack is to test the strength of the opponent's defense, and then avoid the strength and attack the weakness, so that it is possible to break through the defense and seize the city!
The grand and fierce battle started early in the morning and lasted until noon. After a short break, the battle continued until about four o'clock in the afternoon. The Khitan army still kept charging at the city wall, and piles of corpses had accumulated under the city wall. However, the red-eyed Khitan army showed no intention of retreating and continued to attack like crazy. This was really an extremely huge meat grinder, constantly grinding the soldiers on both sides into bloody corpses.
woo woo woo woo! Yeqi Hucheng and others who were watching the battle under the East City Gate suddenly heard the sound of a warning horn coming from the south. They couldn't help but be startled and looked over there subconsciously. I saw smoke and dust outside the city in the southeast corner of Datong Mansion. Thousands of war cavalry were rushing towards me. At the front was a battle flag embroidered with the two Chinese characters of 'King of Yan' with flying dragons and phoenixes. When all the Khitan soldiers saw that big flag, they all I couldn't help but feel shocked, and thought to myself: Could it be King Yan is here! ?
Yeqian Hucheng did not dare to neglect, and immediately ordered the attacking troops outside the east city gate to suspend the attack, and at the same time ordered all armies to prepare for the battle.
The horns of the Khitan army sounded loudly, and the troops that were attacking the city immediately retreated, while the troops that were not involved in the siege immediately arranged themselves into a round or square battle formation, ready to fight.
The originally noisy and fierce battlefield immediately fell silent, and only the rumble of horse hooves coming from the southeast was heard. The officers and soldiers of the Yanyun Army on the city couldn't help but be excited when they saw King Yan's battle flag approaching the enemy's formation, and their morale was boosted.
Yang Peng and Zhan Jinguo led two thousand Xuanjia troops to a sudden stop three hundred steps in front of the Khitan army's formation. The transition between movement and stillness was extremely rapid, as if just a moment ago it was flying at full speed, and in the blink of an eye it was as still as a mountain. The Khitan army officers couldn't help but feel shocked when they saw this scene. At this time, the 20,000 to 30,000 Khitan Army warriors chasing all the way from the southeast stopped about 200 paces behind the Xuanjia Army. After a burst of braking-like buffering and confusion, they came to a complete stop.
Zhan Jinguo rode his horse between the two armies and shouted: "I am General Yanyun from Zhan Jinguo. Who dares to fight to the death with me?" His voice was like thunder and his momentum was like a rainbow.
When a strong general of the Khitan Army flew out, everyone took a quick look and saw that it was the famous golden-haired strongman West of the Khitan Army. They saw him speeding towards the Kingdom of Zhanjin with a huge cross-cutting sword. When Zhan Jinguo saw that it was West, his eyes showed excitement, and he immediately urged his horse to meet him. The soldiers on both sides couldn't help shouting.
Eight horse hooves turned sharply, and in the blink of an eye, two horses crossed each other, one brandished a gun, the other wielded a sword. The two weapons collided fiercely in the air, with a loud clang that shook the world! The two knights each ran for more than ten steps, turned around suddenly, and charged towards each other again. In the blink of an eye, they launched another move. Repeated for several rounds, the two knights became entangled and fought fiercely. The cross sword in West's hand flipped up and down like a tiger, and the moves were simple but extremely powerful; the steel spear in Zhan Jinguo's hand was as fast as lightning, and powerful, constantly attacking West's vital points, and the swords collided with each other. There was a loud noise. At this time, the blood of the soldiers on both sides was completely boiling, and their shouts soared into the sky.
West and Zhan Jinguo fought for more than 20 rounds with no outcome, but Zhan Jinguo became more and more courageous as they fought, and became more and more powerful, while West gradually showed a helpless attitude, and the look in his eyes also gradually changed. Became fearful. Seeing that West was in a bad situation, West's companion Butler quickly galloped out to prepare to attack the Kingdom of Jin together with West.
When Yang Peng saw this, he immediately urged his horse to meet him. When Butler saw Yang Peng coming out, he had to give up rescuing West and instead fight against Yang Peng. When the Yanyun soldiers saw their King Yan personally going to battle, they couldn't help but be extremely excited and shouted with all their strength. The shouts were like waves of waves.
After all, what happened next will be explained later.
