When Musashi heard Fujita Hiromichi say this, he felt that it was indeed Fujita Mitsuaki's voice, and he became even more confused.
At this time, the general under the city wall raised his voice and said: "Those are the people sent by the Yan Yun Army to disturb the morale of the army! The Yan Yun Army has noticed that we are coming, and a large force will definitely arrive soon. Open the door quickly." Let us in at the city gate!" His tone was very anxious, but this is normal, because the Yanyun army has discovered their whereabouts. If they don't enter the city as soon as possible, once the Yanyun army arrives, even if they don't If the entire army is wiped out, they will also suffer heavy losses.
At this time, the man was fleeing further and further, being chased by dozens of warriors. The voice kept coming, but it became increasingly unclear: "They are the Yanyun Army, don't open the city gate!...I am..." Behind The sound was completely covered up by the rapid sound of horse hooves.
Although Fujita Hiromichi and others felt that the voice sounded like Fujita Mitsuhachi, they could not be sure. After all, the voices were similar, and the sound resemblance did not mean that it was that person; Fujita Hiromichi and others naturally recognized Fujita Mitsuhachi, but Although the stars and moon were bright at the moment, it was night after all, so the vision was very blurry, and the person never got close to the city wall, so it was impossible to judge the other person's identity from his appearance.
Fujita Hiromichi and Musashio looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment. The anxious voice of the general below the city came again: "What on earth are you doing? Are you going to believe that Yan Yun spy! Do you still have any doubts about our identity? Mr. Uesugi is here, and the arrows of His Excellency the General are also given. After all, do you still have any questions?"
Musashi thought what he said made sense and looked at Fujita Hiromichi. Fujita Hiromichi frowned and said softly: "Don't be careless! If there is an accident, it would be a pity for you and me to die, but we can't explain it to His Excellency the General and His Majesty the Emperor!" Musashio frowned and said angrily: " Then what should you do? You can't just freeze like this!" Fujita Hiromichi felt that it was really difficult to make a decision.
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the west, which came from the direction of Yanyun Military Camp. It was obvious that a large force had left the military camp. Fujita Hiromichi and Musashi Yu were startled and looked to the west.
The general at the bottom of the city shouted anxiously: "The Yanyun Army is here, open the city gate quickly! What on earth are you doing? Let us in quickly!" His tone was already very anxious and annoyed.
Musashio shouted to a senior samurai under his command: "Hurry and open the city gate!" The senior samurai agreed and ran down. Fujita Hiromichi shouted: "Don't move!" The senior samurai did not dare to leave immediately and looked at Musashio. Musashi said angrily: "What are you still hesitating about? If the Yanyun Army arrives, it will be too late to do anything else!" Fujita Hiromichi's mind was in a mess and he frowned: "Let me think about it, let me think about it!" Musashi snorted, "Think about it slowly!" Then he said to the senior samurai: "Go and open the city gate!"
Fujita Hiromichi was startled, took a step forward, and shouted: "I told you, don't move!" The senior samurai was unable to move forward or retreat, not knowing what to do. Musashio was furious, pointed at Fujita Hiromichi's nose and cursed: "I'm in charge here, don't be wordy!" Fujita Hiromichi didn't care about offending Musashio at this moment, and shouted at each other with his eyes wide open: "I He was appointed by His Majesty the General to stay in Kaijing, and everything here is up to me!" Seeing that Hiromichi Fujita dared to go against him, Musashi's face sank, and there was a cold look in his eyes, and he had already begun to murder.
At this time, the general at the bottom of the city shouted again: "What are you doing? Open the city gate quickly!" All the Japanese soldiers also shouted.
Fujita Hiromichi suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned around and shouted to the city: "Your Excellency Uesugi, it was your birthday not long ago. I gave you a gift. What gift was it!" The general at the city wall said angrily: "The current situation What are you talking about in such a hurry?" Musashi Yuya said: "Now is not the time to talk about this!" Fujita Hiromichi ignored Musashi Xiong, stared at the bearded general who was standing among the soldiers, and said loudly : "This is not an irrelevant matter. If you can answer it, I will believe that you are Mr. Uesugi Nobuo, otherwise you are lying!"
I only heard the bearded general say: "What you gave me is a Han Chinese military book, "Wei Liao Zi". Are you satisfied?" Fujita Hiromichi couldn't help showing a look of surprise, and said excitedly: "It's really true. Lord Uesugi!" Then he turned around and shouted: "Open the city gate quickly!"
The senior samurai guarding the city gate heard Fujita Hiromichi's order and quickly ordered his ashigaru to open the city gate. The army outside the city immediately poured into the city. Fujita Hiromichi and Musashio immediately came down from the city wall to greet them. When they saw Uesugi Nobuo, Fujita Hiroshi bowed apologetically and said: "I'm so sorry! I really have no choice but to ask for your forgiveness!" Uesugi Nobuo was originally very angry, but thinking of the other party It was just out of caution, not intentionally to make things difficult for myself. Seeing his sincere apology at this time, the anger in his heart disappeared and he said: "My lord, you are just being cautious, there is no need to apologize!" Musashio glanced at Fujita Hiromichi and said, He said angrily: "Sometimes, being too cautious can only lead to bad things!"
After a while, all 20,000 Hell Dao troops entered the city gate, and the city gate slammed shut. Almost at the same time, a loud rumbling sound came from the southwest corner of the city wall, like rolling thunder, and the earth trembled. Fujita Hiromichi and others quickly climbed onto the city wall and followed the sound, only to see tens of thousands of Yanyun troops running towards the city gate. Fujita Hiromichi and others could not help but feel terrified, thinking that if the city gate was not opened in time, the Hell Dao Army might have been surrounded by enemy forces!
Yan Yunjun rushed to the north gate and saw that the enemy had entered the city and the gate was closed. Knowing that there was no chance, he slowly retreated.
When Yang Peng and others returned to the big tent, Yang Peng cursed angrily: "Damn it, why did the Japanese come back with reinforcements so quickly!" Then he thought that the opponent's troops were small, with only 20,000 troops, and he felt that this army should be in the first place. After receiving the report of the critical situation in Beijing, a forward force was sent out to reinforce the troops from the south via the alley, thus bypassing Guanyin's blockade.
At this time, a secret guard rushed in from outside, knelt down and said: "Master, my subordinate is back!"
Yang Peng turned around and glanced at him, "Get up." The secret guard stood up. Yang Peng walked up to him and said with a smile: "You did a good job, you almost deceived the Japanese army in the city!" When the secret guard heard Yang Peng's praise, he couldn't help showing a look of joy. Chen Xiao said with some regret: "It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as God's calculations, and in the end we still fell short!"
Not long ago, Yang Peng suddenly received a report from a scout, saying that a Japanese army of 20,000 people suddenly appeared not far to the north of Kaijing City and was rushing towards Kaijing City at full speed. Yang Peng was very surprised. After judging that his own troops could no longer intercept them, he immediately sent a secret guard named Li Kaigu to deliberately spread rumors outside the North City Gate to disrupt the enemy. Li Kaigu was a hidden killing squad leader who had followed Wu Xing in Goryeo. He was proficient in Goryeo and Japanese. After receiving the order, Li Kaigu immediately rode his horse and rushed to the north gate. At this time, the Japanese reinforcements had already arrived at the city and were about to enter the city. Li Kaigu then galloped towards the city gate and shouted loudly: "They are the Yanyun Army, don't open the city gate..." This really made the Japanese in the city startled and suspicious, and for a while they didn't dare to open the city gate handle to come for reinforcements. All the Japanese soldiers were shut out. At the same time, Yang Peng's army came out of camp and came towards the north gate.
Unfortunately, the success fell short. Fujita Hiromichi used a thing that no outsider could know to test the authenticity of the Japanese army outside the city, and then opened the city gate and released the Japanese army into the city. When Yang Peng and Yan Yun's army arrived, it was already too late.
Hu Yanbixian said to Yang Peng: "Brother, although our army has rushed to produce many siege equipment, the enemy has also added 20,000 new troops. Not only has the situation not changed, but it has become even more unfavorable to us!" Xiang Danian said: " With the combat power of our army and so many siege equipment, we will definitely be able to capture Kaijing in a short time!"
Huyan Bixian glanced at Xiang Danian and said: "This is not certain. Judging from the previous storming of the city, it is really difficult to say whether the city can be captured in a short time!"
Yang Peng said: "Based on the current situation, it will be difficult to capture Kaijing within five days! And there is another problem. Since a reinforcement force has come from the path, I'm afraid there will be a second and third force coming from the path. ! The risk of continuing the attack is too great! Today's risks and benefits are no longer proportional. This deal is not worthwhile and there is no need to continue!" Although the generals were a little unwilling, they knew that what King Yan said was correct.
There were hurried footsteps at the door, and a dusty secret guard ran in. Everyone recognized him at a glance. He was a secret guard following Ye Qi Guanyin. Everyone's minds were agitated, worried that there might be some emergency situation over there at Yedi Guanyin?
The secret guard rushed to Yang Peng, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "I came here to report to the master on the order of the empress! Three Japanese main forces bypassed our army's blocking area and went straight from a path we didn't know. Coming to Kaijing, master, please be careful!"
When the generals saw that what Yang Peng had just predicted was about to come true, they couldn't help but show admiration. Yang Peng said to Yin Sha: "Rush back immediately and tell the princess not to stop the enemy and retreat to Haizhou!" The secret guard responded and ran down. Yang Peng glanced at the generals and ordered: "Send orders to all armies to break camp immediately and retreat to Haizhou!" All the generals agreed in unison.
Early the next morning, at dawn, Fujita Hiromichi, who couldn't sleep, climbed up the west city wall and looked towards the Yanyun Army barracks outside the city. He saw that the Yanyun Army barracks was quiet, and he couldn't help but feel strange. I thought it was Yan Yun's army playing some trick, and immediately ordered the gates on all sides to be on guard. All the Japanese soldiers tensed their nerves, waiting for the Yanyun army to attack the city.
However, after waiting for most of the day, there was no movement. The Yan Yun Army's military camp outside the city was still silent with not a single person in sight. Fujita Hiromichi couldn't help but become suspicious, and immediately sent scouts to investigate at the risk of death. Soon after, the scout came back and reported: "Sir, the Yanyun Army camp is already an empty camp, and all the Yanyun Army have disappeared." Fujita Hiromichi and others were greatly surprised. Uesugi Nobuo said doubtfully: "Last night, the Yanyun Army was still there. They were so fierce, why did they disappear today?" Fujita Hiromichi frowned and said, "They must have known that there was no hope of capturing Kaijing, so they chose to retreat overnight!"
At the same time, Yanyun's army led by Yang Peng had already walked halfway and was less than a hundred miles away from Haizhou. The army marched on the land destroyed by the war, and Goryeo people hiding in the surrounding mountains continued to gather and headed for Haizhou together. When Yan Yun's army returned to Haizhou, the size of the entire army exceeded 200,000, and most of them were Koreans who fled to Haizhou with Yan Yun's army.
Wu Xing, who stayed behind in Haizhou, led everyone to greet him. After both parties greeted him, they entered Haizhou City together. This Haeju City is a noisy and lively scene with a lot of people. Compared with other cities in Goryeo, it is really a different scene. Other places are silent hells with bones exposed in the wild, but here is obviously the noisy world, just a city. There were too many people, making it very crowded and a bit chaotic.
Yang Peng and his party were walking on the road to the camp. Both sides of the small street were full of Koreans with curious expressions on their faces. Some were pointing and some were talking in low voices. Yang Peng asked Wu Xingdao: "Is there any news about the princess?" Wu Xing shook his head, "I haven't received any news from the empress yet." Yang Peng couldn't help but become worried, frowning and said: "What happened? There was no message sent to Haizhou. They haven’t sent me a message, it’s been so long!” He turned to Wang Kai and said, “Immediately send a few secret guards to the north to inquire about the situation. If you find anything, report it immediately!” Wang Kai responded and immediately turned to the two men behind him. Yin Sha gave the order once, and the two secret guards agreed, turned their horses, and ran out of the city gate again.
According to the plan previously formulated by Yang Peng and Yeqi Guanyin, Yang Peng led the main infantry to attack Kaijing, while Yeqi Guanyin and Zhanjin Guo led the light cavalry of the 2nd and 3rd legions and the Xuanjia Army to go north to block the main force of the Japanese army. force. The plan at that time was that Ye Qian Guanyin would lead half of the cavalry to block the pine forest directly south of Pyongyang in Xijing to prevent the enemy's main force from driving directly to Haeju and then attack Kaijing, while Zhan Jin Guo would lead the other half of the cavalry in Xinxi southeast of Pyongyang. The direction was to block the enemy troops and directly rescue Kaijing. However, the plan could not keep up with the change. The Japanese army quickly came south from a path between the two positions that Yanyun did not control and rushed to Kaijing. As a result, Yang Peng's attempt to break through Kaijing in a short time finally came to nothing. There was no news at all, but Yeqi Guanyin and Zhan Jinguo, who were responsible for blocking the attack, had no news at this moment.
Time continues to pass, and new news comes from all directions. The Zhanjin Kingdom's troops have returned, but there is still no news about Yeqi Guanyin. Yang Peng was so anxious that he could no longer stay in the camp hall and came to the city wall. Looking towards the north, I saw endless mountains and mountains. My heart seemed to fly to the distance, and I was very worried about the situation of Yeqi Guanyin at the moment. In Yang Peng's opinion, although Ye Qi Guanyin was both wise and brave, after all, he only had 10,000 war horses at his disposal. Facing hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, it was hard to say whether something would happen.
A small dot suddenly appeared on the skyline in front of him. He quickly rushed towards this side. It was a knight speeding towards him. Chen Xiao's heart moved, and expectations and worries arose in his heart.
Soon after, the knight rushed forward. It turned out to be one of the two secret guards sent out by Yang Peng not long ago to find out the news. Hidden Kill flew into the city gate, then rushed to Yang Peng, and reported urgently: "Master, the empress and her soldiers and horses were surrounded by the enemy in Shaliyuan!" Shaliyuan, the name of the place, is thirty or forty miles south of the pine forest. The place.
When Yang Peng heard that Yedi Guanyin was under siege, he was startled and asked hurriedly: "How critical is the situation?"
The secret guard said: "Empress and nearly 10,000 soldiers were surrounded on a hill. Surrounded by 200,000 Japanese troops and Korean surrendered troops. Empress and others tried to break through several times but failed. However, several Japanese attacks The attack failed." Yang Peng couldn't help but feel a little relieved when he heard that Ye Qian Guanyin was not in danger for the time being. After taking a look at the secret guard, I realized that his body was covered in blood and scarred. Although the injuries were not serious, they were still shocking. He couldn't help but frowned and asked: "How did you get injured? Where are your companions?" The secret guard looked sad and angry and said: "The two subordinates returned after contacting the empress, but they were The Japanese army at the foot of the mountain discovered the trace, and the Japanese army came to stop us with thousands of troops. Zhang Zhang died in the battle to cover my breakout!" Zhang Zhang was the name of another secret guard.
Yang Peng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Go down and rest." The secret guard responded and retreated.
Yang Peng was extremely worried about the safety of Ye Qi Guanyin, and just wanted to fly to her side immediately. He immediately ordered people to summon Xiang Danian, Huyan Bixian, Wu Xing and others, and said: "I will personally lead the army north to meet the princess. , Wu Xing and Hu Yan will show you to stay in Haizhou, Zhan Jin will lead his troops to the east to guard, and if the enemy is found to be attacking, they will contain them; Xiang Danian, Hu Yan Chijin, you follow me!" Everyone unite! The sound promised.
Soon after, the gates of Haizhou City were opened wide, and 50,000 Yanyun troops left Haizhou City and headed towards Shaliyuan in the north at full speed.
The Japanese scouts lying in ambush on the road discovered the actions of Yan Yun's army, and immediately reported the news of the arrival of Yan Yun's reinforcements to Sasuro Shigeo. It turned out that Sashi Shigeo personally commanded an army of 200,000 people and came south, trying to seize Haizhou in one fell swoop to cut off the Yanyun army's retreat. After receiving the urgent report from the scouts, Sasuro Shigeo immediately adjusted his deployment and continued to besiege Wanyan Qingfeng's cavalry with only 30,000 soldiers and horses, while he personally led an army of 170,000 soldiers southward.
Yang Peng was worried about the safety of Yeqi Guanyin and led his army to advance northward. The next morning, the army arrived at a hilly area only thirty miles away from Shaliyuan.
Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of killing all around, and countless Japanese swarmed up from all directions. Yan Yunjun was taken by surprise. However, Yan Yun's army is an elite division that has experienced many battles. They remain calm in the face of danger and immediately set up their posture to fight under Yang Peng's order. In the blink of an eye, the Japanese 'tide' surged up and violently attacked the Yanyun Army's defense line. The two sides launched a bloody battle. There were scenes of killing everywhere in the mountains and fields. The cold light reflected from the tips of long knives and spears was one after another, and blood was flying all over the sky, with screams. And roared. The Japanese attacked Yan Yun's army from all sides with three times more troops. They originally thought they could defeat Yan Yun's army in one fell swoop, but they did not expect that Yan Yun's army was extremely tenacious and resisted their own fierce attack!
As the saying goes, "one vigorous attack will weaken again, and three times it will be exhausted", the Japanese's fierce attack failed to defeat Yan Yun's army, and their offensive and vigor could not help but gradually decline.
Seeing that the Japanese offensive was weakening, Yang Peng immediately led his army to launch a counterattack. Fifty thousand soldiers followed Yang Peng, Xiang Danian, and Huyan Chijin, and suddenly burst out with astonishing energy, like a huge wave that suddenly surged towards the Japanese. Killing every step of the way, corpses flying with blood, Yan Yun's soldiers roared like thunder, fighting forward among the enemy troops, like a sharp knife tearing apart the enemy troops! When Sasuro Shigeo saw such a scene, he couldn't help being frightened, and then he screamed urgently. Countless Japanese troops mobilized and constantly repaired the gap opened by the Yanyun army. The Japanese also tried their best to surround Yang Peng and the Yanyun army. The war entered a stalemate.
The two sides were fighting inextricably, and the wilderness was already littered with corpses.
At this moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came, but the soldiers on both sides who were fighting could not care about other things at all. Sasuro Shigeo looked toward the north where the loud noise came from, and saw countless warriors suddenly crossing a hill in the distance, rushing in like a tide, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Sasuro Shigeo no longer cared about how the Yanyun cavalry escaped from trouble, and quickly ordered a group of troops to stop the enemy.
More than 20,000 Japanese soldiers were ordered to go north to block the cavalry force that suddenly appeared on the battlefield. In the blink of an eye, Yanyun's war cavalry rushed into the Japanese army like a tide, trampling the Japanese with their iron hooves, and their long swords and horses raised a rain of blood all over the sky. The Japanese soldiers fell one after another, like sorghum in the strong wind, unable to resist at all. Can't live.
Yan Yun's cavalry passed through the Japanese army in one go, and then fiercely crashed into the middle of the Japanese army that was besieging Yang Peng's troops! The iron hooves rushed forward in the crowd, and the long swords and horses attacked wildly. This Yanyun war horse tore open the Japanese dense encirclement like a hot knife cutting butter. At the same time, the Yanyun led by Yang Peng The infantry also rushed in this direction, constantly approaching the cavalry troops coming to support! Sasuro Shigeo roared at the top of his lungs, and the Japanese soldiers tried their best to stop him, but they couldn't stop him at all.
Finally, the Japanese encirclement was completely torn apart, and the Yanyun war cavalry and the Yanyun infantry met on the battlefield. When Yang Peng and Ye Qian Guanyin saw each other, they couldn't help but show excitement. Without thinking of talking, they immediately led the army to rush out of the Japanese encirclement and retreat to the south. The Japanese soldiers were very unwilling and rushed behind them, roaring. Sasuro Shigeo felt extremely regretful, feeling that he was almost able to encircle and annihilate Yang Peng's army, so he immediately ordered: "Send the order, all armies should stop pursuing and withdraw!" The warrior next to him promised and took out a horn. He ran to the hillside and blew loudly at the sky. The army that surged towards the south like a tide gradually stopped and turned to gather here.
Seeing that the Japanese had stopped pursuing, Yan Yunjun slowed down slightly. Yang Peng stretched out his hand, took hold of Ye Qi Guanyin's slender hand, and looked at her affectionately. Seeing this scene, Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but feel infinite tenderness in her heart, and asked teasingly: "Are you worried to death?" Yang Peng rolled his eyes and said, "No! As soon as he heard the news that Guanyin was surrounded, My three souls and six souls seem to have flown out of my body! You really scared me!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
