Yang Peng said with a smile: "No rush!" Yang Jing said angrily: "I'm just in a hurry!" Yang Peng chuckled, "Wait a minute, let's attack again!" Yang Jing did not dare to disobey Yang Peng's words. He muttered in a low voice: "Wait a minute, I don't know what to wait for!" Yang Peng ignored Yang Jing and raised his head to look at the fortress ahead.
Wei Mingtai stood on the wall of the village and stared at Yanyun's army in the field at the foot of the mountain. He felt that the army was in good order and majestic, and he couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart. At this time, Wei Mingtai had already made arrangements, and all the military units were in full formation, waiting for the Yanyun Army to attack, but the Yanyun Army just lined up in the field without any movement. Wei Mingtai felt puzzled but also felt a little lucky. He just hoped that his opponent would never launch an attack.
"Fire! Fire!..." A shrill cry suddenly came from inside the fortress. The Xixia soldiers were startled and turned to look inside the fortress. They saw many fires bursting out in the grain and grass storage areas and the camp area and spreading rapidly. At the same time, the officers, soldiers and civilians in the fortress were running around in a chaotic scene.
Wei Mintai's expression changed, and he couldn't help shouting: "No, a spy has sneaked in!" He turned to the two officers beside him and said: "Go down and stabilize everyone. If anyone dares to run around and scream, he will be killed on the spot." Justice!" The two officers responded and ran down the wall. Immediately, Wei Mingtai said to another officer of the company: "You two, one of you organizes people to put out the fire, and the other goes to hunt for the spies, and arrest those common people!" The two men agreed and ran down the wall.
The four officers acted according to Wei Mingtai's orders, and the chaotic situation gradually stabilized. The fire in the grain and grass area and the camp area was also controlled. Although it could not be extinguished, it did not spread anymore.
Wei Mingtai felt relieved a little. However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the village gate. Wei Mingtai quickly looked towards the gate of the village, and was shocked to see hundreds of sergeants attacking the soldiers guarding the gate. The attackers were very fierce, and the defenders were caught off guard and were killed and retreated with heavy casualties. The gate was about to be attacked. Lost. Wei Mintai was shocked when he saw such a scene. Without thinking about it, he quickly shouted and ordered the surrounding soldiers to get down from the city wall to fight back.
The soldiers on the city wall received the order and rushed towards the village gate. However, before they arrived, the attackers had already opened the city gate. Wei Mingtai suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound behind him, and was startled. He quickly turned around and looked towards the wilderness at the foot of the mountain. He suddenly saw two thousand Yanyun Xuanjia troops flying in like black clouds, followed by tens of thousands more. The army of conspiracy. Wei Mingtai's face turned pale in an instant.
After coming back to his senses, he turned around and shouted at the soldiers: "Recapture the village gate quickly!" If the village gate can be recaptured in time, it is possible to hold on to the fortress. Otherwise, the Langshan Fortress will be lost today.
The Xixia soldiers also became frightened and anxious. In fear and anxiety, they counterattacked the village gate like crazy. Hundreds of Xixia soldiers crowded in front of the village gate and pushed forward desperately to attack; while Zhang Daniu led hundreds of hidden soldiers to resist desperately. , fighting hard, roars and screams, swords and blood flying together. In front of the village gate, in this narrow area, the soldiers of both sides fought with their lives. One side wanted to take back the village gate, but the other side wanted to defend the gate with all their strength. In the blink of an eye, countless corpses were lying on the ground, and the soldiers of both sides stepped on it. He landed on the corpse on the ground and continued fighting. The two sides formed a stalemate. Although the Xixia army had a large number of troops, they could not operate in the narrow area in front of the village gate.
The rumble of horse hooves came closer. Wei Mingtai quickly looked outside and saw that the black cloud-like Xuanjia Army had arrived in front of the village gate! Wei Mingtai suddenly felt as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant.
Immediately, a loud rumbling sound came from the gate of the village. The Kingdom of Zhan Jin led two thousand Xuanjia troops to rush into the gate of the village, crashed into the Xixia army, and fought forward. Trampled by iron hooves and flying swords and guns, the Xixia army officers and soldiers were killed until their corpses were covered in blood and they retreated again and again. Finally, they were rushed into pieces and fled in all directions. At this moment, Yanyun's main force had arrived and was pouring into the city.
The Xixia army was defeated and fled in all directions. Those who could not escape quickly threw away their weapons and knelt down on the spot. ...Half an hour later, the battle was over. The flames in the fortress have been extinguished by the Yanyun Army. The ground is littered with corpses, mostly of Xixia people. Many Yanyun Army soldiers are cleaning the battlefield; groups of prisoners are being escorted by the Yanyun Army with their heads hanging. Converging towards one place, every prisoner's heart was filled with a feeling of humiliation. However, under this humiliation, there was also a sense of joy. No matter what, the battle was over and his life was still there.
Zhang Daniu ran to Yang Peng, clasped his fists and said: "Master, all the enemies have been eliminated. Except for more than two thousand people who were killed, all the others were captured. However, Wei Mingtai ran away, and General Zhan is leading his army to pursue him."
Yang Peng nodded, smiled and said to Zhang Daniu: "You should be the first to conquer Langshan Fortress!" Zhang Daniu grinned, looking a little excited but embarrassed. How could Zhang Daniu and those hundreds of secret guards be inside the Langshan Fortress and launch an attack from within? Haha, it is actually very simple to put it bluntly, because hundreds of the thousands of Xixia soldiers and civilians who fled into the Langshan Fortress were faked by them. Wei Mingtai never thought that among the thousands of soldiers and civilians who fled one after another, there would be There is the Yanyun Army. Just now, when the attention of the Xixia people was outside the fortress, Zhang Daniu led all the secret guards who had sneaked in to suddenly attack, first setting fire to create chaos, and then taking advantage of the chaos to attack the gate of the fortress. The Xixia people were caught off guard and Zhang Daniu and others captured the village gate in one fell swoop. Needless to say what happened after that. …
Brother Wei Mingxiu and others finally crossed the Uga River, and then rushed towards Langshan Fortress. At sunset, we saw the military stronghold at the foot of Langshan Mountain from a distance. Everyone couldn't help but feel happy and hurried towards that direction.
However, not long after running out, Li Qiyun suddenly reined in his horse and shouted: "Stop, stop, something seems wrong!" When everyone heard this, they quickly reined in their horses and looked towards the military stronghold, only to see a big ball flying over the military stronghold. On the flag, there are two big characters "Yanyun" embroidered with teeth and claws. Everyone was shocked, and Weiming Huxiong couldn't help shouting; "Yan Yun?! Is the Langshan Fortress also lost!?"
Weiming Shouzhong said quickly: "Let's not get close. If we are discovered by Yan Yun's army, we will be in danger! Go around!" Weiming Huxiong said angrily: "Langshan Mountain is steep. Except for the road in front of you, there is no way. There is no way to go! What should we do after we go around it?" Wei Mingshouzhong said: "I know there is a small road in Langshan, which is very remote. Although a large group of people cannot walk with their luggage, there is no problem for dozens of us!" Wei Minghuxiong's eyes lit up and he said happily: "There is still such a way! Great, let's go quickly!" The others did not take any action, but looked at Brother Weimingxiu. Seeing this, Weiminghuxiong couldn't help but look too Wei's name is Brother Xiu.
Brother Wei Mingxiu looked at the Langshan Fortress in the distance, sighed, turned back his gaze and said to everyone: "Let's go!" Everyone remained silent and turned their horses to head north. …
Yan Yun's army captured Langshan Fortress in one fell swoop, and the entire Wulahai area fell into Yan Yun's control. Yang Peng then left 3,000 men to guard Wulahai City and 2,000 men to guard Langshan Fortress, while he led a large force to continue marching. Three days later, the army arrived at Hue Ferry, which is located at the branch of the Yellow River. After passing Hue Ferry, the army can go down the left side of the Yellow River. Hue Ferry had already been captured when Yanyun's cavalry raided the Xixia reinforcements, so the army did not have to fight here, but the Hue Fortress, located eighty miles south of Hue Ferry, had to be attacked with great effort. At that time, the battle plan formulated by Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu was to ambush and annihilate the Xixia reinforcements, and then seize the Hue ferry. If the situation allowed, even the Hue fortress would be captured in one fell swoop. However, after the Yanyun Army captured Hue Crossing, they discovered that the Xixia Army in the Hue Fortress had been aware of their actions, so they gave up their plan to immediately capture the Hue Fortress and concentrated on destroying the Xixia Army in the Ula Hai area.
Yanyun's army passed the Hue ferry, and then moved south by land and water, and the rolling tide of troops approached the Hue fortress. However, at this moment, Yang Peng was worried about the situation in the south. He had wiped out the Xixia army in the Wulahai area not long ago. However, the battle situation in the south was further confirmed from the mouths of those prisoners. The Tubo army had been defeated and left, and Li Qingxia had already laid down his plans. A huge pocket is waiting for Yan Yun's army to enter the urn, and the situation is very favorable to Xixia. I don’t know what the situation is like in the south? Have Yang Yanzhao and Gao Hu been defeated?
Yang Peng calmed down and temporarily put these worries behind him. He has made up his mind to insist on going south even in the worst case scenario. Only a devastating attack can minimize the losses caused by the defeat of the south. In the past few days, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu were not only considering offensive strategies, but also how to stabilize the situation in the future. They both felt that if Yang Yanzhao Gaohu was defeated, they would have to transfer troops from Qinfeng Road to stabilize the situation, but if the enemy The army used an elite force to seize Yan'an Mansion before the Qin Feng Road reinforcements arrived, so the entire situation was very unfavorable to our side. …
Brother Weimingxiu and others crossed Langshan Mountain via a small road and then headed south. When we arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, we saw Yanyun's land and water army marching southward from a distance, and we couldn't help but feel shocked. Then he avoided Yan Yun's army and took a small road towards Hue Fortress. It was already evening when we arrived at Hue Fortress, and dozens of people couldn't help but feel like they were human again. Guarding the Hue Fortress was a general named Li Xiong under Brother Weimingxiu. Seeing the arrival of Brother Weimingxiu, he was very happy and quickly gave up his official residence to Brother Weimingxiu for his camp. At the same time, , Wei Mingtai, who fled to Hue Fortress first, also came to visit Brother Wei Mingxiu.
Brother Wei Mingxiu sat on the main seat, sighed, and couldn't help but murmured: "It's like a nightmare! In a few days, the entire Ulahai area fell! We are like bereaved dogs, and we are in panic all day long!" Ming Huxiong wanted to say something tough, but he couldn't say it at all. Even a fierce and fearless general like him was beaten to the point of losing his temper by Yan Yunjun! "
Brother Weimingxiu looked at Li Xiong and asked, "How many defenders are there in Hue Fortress?" Li Xiong said, "A total of two thousand troops."
Everyone frowned, Wei Ming Hu Xiong said angrily: "Facing Yan Yun's army, two thousand people are not enough to fill our teeth!" Wei Ming Tai said: "General, why don't we give up the Hue Fortress? , retreat to Keyi Gate or Lou Bo Bei." Lou Bo Bei is located in an oasis deep in the desert more than 300 miles southwest of Hue Fort. It is the seat of the so-called Baima Qiang Town Military Division. The leading general is named Li Xingguo. Members of the Xixia royal family; the reason why Xixia set up the Baimaqiang Town Military Division there is of course because of the strategic location of Loubobei. There are two narrow oasis corridors to the west of Loubobei, and the northwest one can directly lead to the two huge lakes. The Yanjunsi in Heishui Town is now near Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia, and the one to the southwest leads directly to the Xuanhua Prefecture, where the Gansu Militarysi is located, which is Zhangye.
In addition to its important strategic position, the Military Division of Baimaqiang Town is also one of the most important salt production areas in Xixia. The so-called Jilantai Salt Pond is located here. Keyi Gate is located more than 200 miles south of the Hue Fortress. It is the seat of the Shun Army Department of the Youxiang Dynasty. Together with Shengwei City on the east bank of the Yellow River, it forms the last barrier to the north of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Western Xia Dynasty. If the line of Keyi Gate is broken through, Yan Yun's army can reach Dingzhou directly, and a few dozen miles south of Dingzhou is Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xixia Kingdom.
Brother Weimingxiu sighed, "Those are not my territory. If we leave here, we will really become homeless dogs!" He paused, frowned and said: "Besides, this Hue Fortress, the place is not It's a big place, but its position is very important. We must hold on here!" At this time, Brother Wei Mingxiu has made up his mind not to escape. If he cannot hold the Hue Fortress, it is better to die here than to escape to someone else's territory. Being laughed at by others.
Li Qiyun frowned and said: "The general understands his intentions! However, two thousand troops cannot defend the Hue Fortress no matter what!" Several generals couldn't help but nodded.
Brother Wei Mingxiu said angrily: "I have nowhere to escape after escaping here! If the Yanyun army comes to attack, I will fight with them to the last soldier! If you die, you will be a man. It is better than escaping." Go to other people's territory and be ridiculed by others!" Such decisive words aroused the heroic spirit of the generals. Weiming Huxiong slapped his chest and loudly said: "I will defend to the end with my eldest brother!" The generals looked at each other and saluted together. He said: "We are willing to follow the general to the death!" Brother Weiming Xiu looked at the subordinates in front of him, and he was extremely pleased. He laughed and said: "Okay! You are worthy of being a good man of the party! We brothers will live and die together. The Yanyun Army will fight to the bitter end!" All the generals shouted in unison: "We will live and die together, and fight to the bitter end!!"
An officer rushed in anxiously, knelt down and said: "General, Yan Yun's army has arrived!" Although everyone had already made up their mind to die, when they heard the news of the arrival of Yan Yun's army, they still couldn't help but exclaim. shock. Brother Wei Mingxiu stood up and walked outside, followed by the generals.
Everyone came to the city wall and looked out of the city. They saw several long 'giant dragons' winding from the mountains along the river, while a huge fleet of boats on the river was also heading south. When the generals saw such a scene, they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts. It's easy to say an oath, but once they have to actually face such an ending, few of them can face it calmly. The generals of Xixia were like this, let alone the ordinary soldiers. They were all pale and frightened, and they had no fighting spirit.
Soon after, the Yanyun army on land was seen marching out of the mountains and setting up camp in the open space by the river seven or eight miles away. At the same time, the fleet on the water came to the shore and built a water fort. Although they were still far apart, the sound of people shouting and horses neighing could still be heard clearly.
At this moment, a soldier led a veteran herald and rushed up, reporting with great excitement: "His Majesty the General has sent reinforcements again!!"
Everyone turned around suddenly and saw a veteran herald coming forward and saluting: "General, I am the herald under the command of General Shunjun in the Right Wing, and I have been specially ordered to come and inform the general. My general has received your Majesty's urgent report and has mobilized 2,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 civilian troops to come for reinforcements." The name of the general of the Shun Army Division in the right wing is Wei Mingji. He has the same surname as Wei Mingxiu brother, so he naturally belongs to They are of the same race, but their relationship is not close, and the two of them once had a conflict over a brothel girl.
Brother Wei Mingxiu was moved and said: "I didn't expect the general to be so generous. Thank you so much!" Thinking of the ongoing war in the south, he couldn't help but ask: "Has the problem in the south been solved?"
The herald said: "I don't know about this villain, but since your Majesty ordered my general to support the general, the situation in the south must be very good. Maybe the Yanyun Army has been annihilated, and the main army is heading north!" He These words were very inspiring, and the surrounding Xixia soldiers seemed to have been given a shot in the arm.
Brother Weimingxiu nodded thoughtfully and said to the herald: "When you go back, thank the general for me!" The herald agreed and then said: "If the general has no other instructions, I will go back. Back to life!" Brother Weimingxiu nodded. The herald bowed to brother Wei Mingxiu and left in a hurry.
Yelu Huxiong laughed excitedly and said: "Okay! Although we were defeated miserably, the Yanyun Army was defeated even worse!" He glanced at the Yanyun Army Camp in the distance and couldn't help but cursed: "Fuck Yes! When His Majesty's army arrives, it will be our turn to catch the ducks!" Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the previous dull and worried atmosphere seemed to have disappeared.
In Yanyun's tent. Yang Peng received an emergency military report from Xizuo and learned that the Chaoshun Army Division in the south of Youxiang had assembled a troop of troops and was heading towards the Hue Fortress. In addition, Xizuo also heard some rumors near the capital, saying that Yan Yun's army had been defeated and fled south. Many people celebrated spontaneously. There were scenes of jubilation and celebration everywhere inside and outside Xingqing Mansion.
The generals were very anxious and whispered among themselves. Yang Peng was also very anxious, but he did not show it at all. He raised his head, glanced at the generals, and said with a smile: "The behavior in the enemy's territory may not be true. They may very well do this deliberately to disturb the morale of our army!" When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but think deeply. However, Yang Jing said loudly: "Brother is right, I think that's the case! Those idiots want to use this method to deceive us, and I, Yang Jing, will not be fooled!"
Meng Hu laughed and said, "It's not easy for Yang Jing to be fooled!" Yang Jing laughed loudly, shook his head and said, "That's right!" Everyone laughed, and Yang Jing followed suit, feeling very proud. Yang Peng said loudly: "Go back to your respective armies and prepare to attack!" Everyone stopped laughing, clasped their fists in agreement, and then retreated one after another.
After the generals left, Yang Peng couldn't help but frown, with a graceful look on his face.
Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng and asked, "Brother, are you worried about the war in the south?" Yang Peng sighed, looked up outside the tent, frowned and said, "I have to worry, all the information I have received so far is Bad! I'm afraid, Yang Yanzhao and the others are really defeated! It's really unbelievable! Gao Hu can say that Yang Yanzhao can actually defeat the battle!" Yelu Hanyu said: "Any genius general will inevitably lose the battle!"
Yang Peng nodded, lowered his head and thought: "According to the information obtained so far, Yang Yanzhao, Gao Hu and the others should have been defeated not long ago. Based on this calculation, we should still have time!" Yelu Hanyu asked: "Big brother plans to attack the right side." The Shunjun Division of the Xiang Dynasty in order to directly threaten the capital of Xixia?"
Chen Xiao nodded and thought: "Only in this way can we make up for the negative impact of the defeat on the southern front to the maximum extent!" Yelu Hanyu nodded, lowered his head and pondered, frowning tightly. It was actually difficult for her to accept the defeat on the southern front. Since Yan Yun's rise, he has been invincible and his troops have always been unfavorable. Although they have not never been defeated, they are all insignificant defeats. They have never been like this. Now that there has been such a big defeat, this big defeat not only wiped out Yan Yun's pre-war strategic advantage in a short time, but also made it possible that Yan Yun could no longer devour Xixia in Yang Peng's lifetime. How could the situation become like this? Is it God's will that Xixia's fate should not be cut off? Yelu Hanyu's mind was a little confused.
At the same time, a fast horse galloped from the high mountains to the north. The rider on the horse was exhausted from the dust, and the horse under him was obviously exhausted. The horse's hooves were heavy and muddy, and he didn't know what happened to this man. How long did the horse run? The knight was wearing the unique clothing of Yanyun's soldiers and carried a round bamboo tube on his back, which contained the urgent military information.
The messenger rushed to the gate of the camp. The war horse screamed sadly, knelt forward and fell to the ground. Normally, the messenger would have definitely jumped down in time, but at this moment he was extremely exhausted and was feeling dizzy. Where could he react, he fell down with the horse and fell heavily to the ground. Can't get up.
When the sergeant at the door saw this, he rushed out and raised the messenger up. The soldier fell with blood and dust on his face and weakly said: "Quick, quick, urgent report, urgent report of the battle situation in the south!" Upon hearing this, several sergeants said, He quickly carried him in and ran straight to the big tent. Entering the tent, a sergeant clasped his fists and said, "This is to King Yan, we have urgent military information!" At this time, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu were standing in front of the map. After hearing the words, they immediately turned around and saw the man who was venting his energy and entering too much. The angry herald couldn't help but feel shocked.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
