Yang Peng joked: "What does that mean?" Yedi Guanyin became angry and snorted, "That's not what I meant anyway!..." Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt his red lips being kissed. , smelling the strong masculine aura on Yang Peng, he immediately became emotional, his eyes ignited with burning passion, a pair of delicate hands suddenly hugged Yang Peng's waist, and he kissed back wildly.
…
In the Tubo camp outside Xiliang City, Song He, the Tubo Pingxi General, was pacing back and forth in the tent with an anxious look on his face. The generals stood under the tent, their eyes following Song He's movement.
Songhe stopped, looked at the general standing on the right, and asked angrily: "How long do we have to wait? That mediator looks unreliable to me!" The general standing on the right was originally Duosang is one of the important generals under General Zanbutai. In this expedition to Xixia, the main force is still under Zanbutai. However, because Zanbutai performed poorly in the previous battles and suffered huge losses, this time In the expedition against Xixia, although the army was Zanbutai's army, the commander of the army was replaced by Song He, the general of Tibet's expedition to the west.
Duosang said: "General, don't be anxious, I believe there will be news soon!"
The general on the left said to Song He: "General, I think we should not waste time, we should seize the time to attack with all our strength!" This general's name is Zhan Dui, and he is Song He's confidant. Songhe, as the general who conquered the west, came to take charge of Zanbutai's army, so he naturally had to bring some of his cronies. After listening to Zhan Dui's words, Song He frowned and said nothing. In fact, it was not that Song He didn't want to attack the city in one go, but that the siege battle some time ago made him feel that the Xixia army's defense was much stronger than expected, so he forced the city to be attacked. Even if he finally breaks through the city, he will probably pay a heavy price. It is for this reason that he agreed to Duosang's suggestion and sent people to Aodaochong to persuade him to surrender.
In Songhe's view, although Xixia is still struggling to hold on, only the land west of Xiliang Mansion is left. The soldiers and civilians have suffered heavy losses, and people's hearts are like frightened birds. It is impossible to regain their strength, and resistance is just delaying destruction. That's all. A smart person will definitely be able to see this. Since he is destined to perish, he must be able to persuade Ao Daochong to surrender. However, after the envoy was sent, Songhe's performance made Song He confused as to what his intentions were. He said that he would fight to the end, but he was still negotiating with the envoys from his own side and Yanyun. , let’s say he was sincere and surrendered, but he didn’t mention any substantive issues.
Zhan Dui said: "I'm worried that Aodaochong will eventually surrender to Yan Yun!"
Songhe snorted and said harshly: "If he dares to do this, I will cut him into pieces after the city is broken! Huh, don't think that the Yanyun army can protect him. Now that Yanyun can't keep food and grass, it's impossible. We can't raise a large army to rescue him! Aodaochong is not an idiot, he should be able to see the current situation!"
Duosang said: "We don't have to worry. We'll wait and see. If Aodaochong still cares about left and right and refuses to surrender, it won't be too late for us to launch a massive attack! If we can defeat him without a fight, that's the best situation. !" Songhe frowned and nodded.
At this moment, there were rapid footsteps at the door of the tent. Several people couldn't help but look towards the door. They saw a private officer leading a young man in casual clothes in. Their hearts were moved. . The personal officer bowed and said: "General, the envoy has sent someone." After saying that, he stepped aside, and the young man in civilian clothes immediately stepped forward and said: "I pay my respects to the general!..."
Songhe took a step forward and asked urgently: "How is the situation? Has Aodaochong decided to surrender?"
The young man said excitedly: Odaochong has arrested all Yanyun's envoys, and said that he will surrender soon! "
Songhe and others were very surprised when they heard the news. Then Songhe frowned and asked angrily, "What do you mean by surrendering recently? Didn't he decide to surrender immediately?"
The young man said: "The mediator said that surrender is not a simple matter, and many people in Xixia do not agree with surrender, so he needs time to resolve the internal issues before surrendering."
Songhe felt something was wrong, frowned, turned to look at Duosang, and asked: "What do you think?" Duosang thought: "Since Aodaochong captured Yanyun's envoy, he must have made up his mind to surrender to us. Otherwise, why would they do this to offend Yan Yun? Wouldn't it be unwise? The reason he said for not surrendering immediately was also correct. After all, Aodaochong was not the emperor of Xixia. Although he had great power, that was not the case. He only got the power after retreating to Xiliang Mansion. I'm afraid many people inside don't listen to him that way, and I'm afraid he won't be able to keep his word, so it's reasonable to deal with internal issues first."
After hearing Duosang's words, Songhe felt relieved and asked, "You mean there is no problem with Odaochong?"
Duosang did not dare to take this guarantee and said: "It's just that as of now, there is nothing suspicious." Songhe hesitated and said: "In that case, let's wait for another three days." Yes. The messenger said: "You go back and tell Awang that I, the general, will give Odao three days to attack. Within three days, he must open the city and surrender, otherwise our Tibetan army will destroy Xiliang Mansion!" The messenger agreed and ran away. Go down.
Song Hyuk returned to his desk and sat down.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the door, galloping straight towards the big tent. Song He and the others all had expressions on their faces, wondering secretly: 'What urgent military situation can there be at this time? 'The Tubo Army, like the Yanyun Army and the Khitan Army, did not have to dismount outside the camp gate to convey the urgent military information. The scouts could use their arrows to gallop their horses into the military camp without any hindrance.
The sound of horse hooves quickly came to the outside of the big tent, and then the sound of horse hooves suddenly stopped, and the sound of horses neighing was heard. After a while, an officer with blood stains all over his body and a look of fear on his face rushed into the big tent. . Everyone recognized the officer who came in, and they couldn't help showing expressions of disbelief.
I saw the officer plopped down on his knees, lying on the ground, and said anxiously: "General, no, it's not good, Snow Mountain Fortress, Snow Mountain Fortress..." Because he was anxious and tired, he couldn't finish the words in one breath. I couldn't speak any more.
Songhe left his seat in a hurry, ran to the officer, pulled him up, and asked angrily: "What happened to the Snow Mountain Fortress? Tell me!"
The officer swallowed hard and said: "Yan Yun, Yan Yun's army attacked and breached the Snow Mountain Fortress. We, our entire army was wiped out!"
The faces of Song He and others changed greatly, and they all felt unbelievable. Song He said angrily: "That's nonsense! How could the Yanyun army come to attack my snow mountain fortress when they lack food and grass?" The officer shook his head and said, "No, I don’t know! However, it is indeed the Yanyun Army! It is the Yanyun Cavalry! The leaders are Yang Qi and Yang Gui. They, we, we were caught off guard and were defeated in the blink of an eye by them!"
Songhe was shocked and confused. He didn't know what to do for a moment. Suddenly he remembered something and asked urgently: "Where are the grains and grass stored in the snow mountain fortress? Did you transport them out in time?" The officer saw Songhe's look of horror. , couldn't help but trembled, and stammered: "No, no, General Jeb originally planned to transport it out the next day, the next morning, but he didn't expect it, he didn't expect it..."
Song He was so upset that he threw the officer to the ground and cursed: "Damn it!" The officer quickly knelt down, not daring to look at Song He, and was extremely frightened.
Songhe asked: "Where's Jeb? I have to kill that bastard with my own hands!"
The officer hurriedly said: "Report, report back to the general, General Jebu, he was killed by the Yang Qi formation when the enemy invaded!" Songhe was shocked, and the hatred in his heart disappeared instantly, thinking that Jebu had followed him for many years. , now that he is actually dead, I can’t help but feel sad and sigh.
Duosang asked the officer: "Since the food and grass are still in the fortress, was the food and grass finally taken away by the Yanyun Army, or burned down?" The officer quickly said: "It was taken away by the Yanyun Army. Five hundred thousand All the food and grass were taken away!" Duosang asked again: "Where is the Snow Mountain Fortress? Did the Yanyun Army leave any troops to guard it?" The officer shook his head and said: "No. They, after they broke the fortress, they robbed The food left and nothing was left. Upon seeing this, our remaining brothers returned to the snow-capped mountain fortress."
Duosang immediately said to Song He: "General, it seems that the Yanyun army still lacks food and grass!"
Songhe frowned and asked in confusion: "Why did you say that?"
Duosang said: "If Yan Yun has sufficient food and grass, he should not seize the food and grass, but defend the snow mountain fortress to cut off our army's retreat. In this way, the overall situation will be under the control of Yan Yun Army! Now Yan Yun Army But instead of guarding the snow mountain fortress, they seized food and grass. This shows that Yanyun's army is short of food and grass and urgently needs this batch of food and grass to mobilize the army for action! "
Songhe felt that what Duosang said made sense and couldn't help but nodded. Duosang said anxiously: "General, if the Yanyun Army is allowed to transport this batch of grain and grass back and mobilize the army, our situation will not be good. We should immediately dispatch all the cavalry to intercept and kill this Yanyun Army. , even if we can’t get the food and grass back, we must destroy all the food and grass, and we must not let Yan Yun’s army get the food and grass!”
Songhe nodded in agreement, and then asked the officer: "How many troops are there in the Yanyun Army?" The officer thought for a moment. In the chaos, they didn't know how many Yanyun Army came. They only felt that although the enemy army was fierce, , but the number did not seem to be very large, so he said: "There are not many enemy troops, probably, only ten or twenty thousand warriors!" Songhe immediately said to Zhan Dui and Hanon: "Zhan Dui, Hanon, you guys The two led all the cavalry to intercept and kill the enemy. I don’t care whether we can annihilate the enemy, but you must burn all the food and grass for me!" The two bowed and agreed, and hurried out of the tent. Soon after, in the military camp, The sound of hoofbeats and shouts rang loudly, and all 30,000 Tibetan warriors poured out of the military camp.
Zhan Dui and Hanon led 30,000 warriors out of the military camp and galloped toward the southeast. They did not know the specific location of Yan Yun's army at this moment, but they thought that after Yan Yun's army seized the food and grass, they must transport it to Zhuoluo City. , so pursuing in the southeast direction is definitely not a mistake.
Thirty thousand warriors chased them for a day and a night. This morning, in the hazy mist, they came to a wilderness on the east bank of the Crochuan River. It was only more than 150 miles away from Zhuoluo City controlled by the Yanyun Army. distance. The army slowed down and slowly moved southward along the Crochuan River.
Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the front, and the soldiers couldn't help but look forward. They saw one of their own scouts galloping along the Crochuan River.
Zhan Dui raised his right hand, and the army slowly stopped.
The scout galloped to Zhan Dui and Hanon, reined in his horse, jumped off his horse, knelt down and said, "I'm reporting to the two generals that we have discovered traces of the enemy!" The two generals were overjoyed, and Zhan Dui was in a hurry. He asked: "Where?" The scout said: "Just a dozen miles to the south, in a basin, he is resting!" Hanon asked: "How many people are there in the enemy army? Have you seen the food and grass? The scout nodded and said, "I saw the food and grass. There are flags everywhere in the enemy's basin. The exact number is unknown, but based on the smoke, it is estimated that the enemy army should exceed 10,000 people!"
Zhan Dui said impatiently: "Let's attack immediately to eliminate these bastards and take back the food and grass!"
Hanon frowned and said: "The Yanyun Army is extremely brave. Even though there are only more than ten thousand warriors, we can hardly be sure of victory!..." Zhan Dui snorted and said angrily: "You were frightened by the Yanyun Army. How dare you! I don’t believe how powerful the Yanyun Army is! The so-called Yanyun Warriors are bullshit in my eyes!" Hanon became angry and said angrily: "We have fought with the Yanyun Army more than once. Could it be that we have fought with the Yanyun Army more than once? Are you still talking nonsense?" Zhan Dui snorted coldly, with a look of ridicule on his face. Seeing him like this, Hanon held his breath in his chest and was speechless.
Zhan Dui said: "Okay, don't brag about Yan Yun's army! I'm here today, no matter what the situation is, I can handle it! Let's go, if we delay the opportunity to fight and the general is punished, you and I will bear it Sorry!"
Hanon frowned and ordered the war cavalry to advance, and the 30,000 war cavalry continued to march south. Hanon said to Zhan Dui: "The general has told us that our first task is not to destroy Yan Yun's army, but to burn the food and grass. We should follow the general's order!" Zhan Dui nodded and said: " This is natural, but there is a good saying among the Han people: If a foreigner is not willing to accept his fate, since we have a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy, how can we give up?" Seeing what Hanon wanted to say, he said angrily: "I have already made up my mind. , please stop talking! If the general takes the blame, I will take the blame, so why do you have to worry!" After saying that, he hit the horse and ran forward, ignoring Hanon at all. Hanon sighed and murmured: "I hope you can still have such courage after meeting Yan Yunjun!"
Zhan Dui ran up the hill beside him and shouted at the army: "The whole army obeys the order and advances at full speed. Don't let Yan Yun's army escape!" The 30,000 warriors immediately started running, just like the other troops beside the Crochuan River. It flows like a river towards the south.
The journey of more than ten miles was fleeting for the cavalry. Soon after, 30,000 Tibetan war cavalry arrived near the basin the scout had mentioned. The army stopped, and Zhan Dui said to Hanon: "I will lead 10,000 warriors to attack, and you will lead the other 20,000 warriors to outflank and support them. We must annihilate all the enemies!" After saying this, regardless of Hanon's opinion, he led a group of soldiers. Wan Zhanqi rushed towards the short hill not far away. According to the intelligence, after passing that hill was the camp where Yan Yun's army rested temporarily. Zhan Dui was very excited. He just wanted to kill a few more Yan Yun warriors to show Hanon and others how powerful he was.
Ten thousand warriors rushed up the hill under the leadership of Zhan Dui. Suddenly, their eyes suddenly opened up. They saw many Yanyun troops fleeing to the south in a large basin. There was a forest in the basin, which was filled with countless grains and grass. , Yan Yunjun only focused on escaping for his life, and didn't even care about the food and grass.
Zhan Dui laughed loudly and said loudly: "Everyone talks about how brave Yan Yun's army is, but they are just a group of cowards!" Then he pulled out his scimitar, raised it high, and shouted: "Everyone follow me and kill them all. Han people, take back the food and grass!" The ten thousand knights were so angry that they shouted one after another. Immediately, 10,000 warriors followed Zhan Dui and rushed down the hillside howling. Yan Yun's army did not dare to engage in the battle and fled southward.
Hanon became nervous when he saw Zhandui leading 10,000 war cavalry across the hills in front. However, he soon received news from the scouts that Zhandui broke into the basin and killed Yan Yun's army in panic. General Zhandui And the war cavalry under his command have recaptured the food and grass that were previously taken away by Yan Yun's army in the Snow Mountain Fortress. Hanon was greatly surprised, and couldn't help but feel an unreal feeling in his heart. He didn't understand why Yan Yun's army was so vulnerable today, and then he thought: Is Zhan Dui really so brave that even Yan Yun's warriors can't stop him?
Zhan Dui led his army to rush into the woods in the middle of the basin. He saw mountains of grain and grass inside and outside the woods. Zhan Dui laughed loudly and said loudly: "Leave a thousand brothers to guard the food and grass, and the rest of the troops will follow me to continue the pursuit!" All the soldiers agreed in unison, and their morale was like a rainbow.
"Eh? How could this happen?" An officer checking the food and grass suddenly shouted.
Zhan Dui frowned and asked: "What's going on?"
The officer tore open the sack in front of him, and what was revealed was not the expected white grain, but a pile of dry weeds! When Zhan Dui saw this scene, he was greatly surprised and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Open it and take a look!" All the soldiers got off their horses and cut open the sacks nearby. All the sacks were the same. Wherever there was any food, all the sacks were there. It's dry weed. Zhan Dui frowned and cursed: "What the hell are these Han people doing?"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless rockets suddenly flew from all directions. The Tubo soldiers were taken aback and exclaimed. The rockets rained down, igniting countless sacks in an instant, and the flames quickly jumped up and spread in all directions. Seeing this scene, Zhan Dui turned pale and shouted: "No! Get out, get out!" However, the whole forest was already a sea of fire, and countless Tubo soldiers and the horses under them were burning. The horses were burned to the point of neighing and running around, causing the flames to spread even faster. The soldiers were burned to the point of screaming, some rolling on the spot trying to extinguish the flames, and some running around like headless flies. The scene was chaotic and completely chaotic.
Zhan Dui led half of the troops out of the hellish sea of fire, and almost everyone was covered in smoke. Before they could calm down, they suddenly heard a loud rumbling noise coming towards them. They thought it was Hanon's army coming to meet them. They all looked up and saw iron hooves rushing towards the sky with murderous intent. However, they were not their own cavalry. They were clearly Yan Yun. War Cavalry! ! The Tibetan army officers and soldiers were so surprised that they became panicked. Zhan Dui was suffocating with a sense of futility. When he saw Yan Yun's cavalry appear, he immediately rushed forward with a scream. Seeing the general's bravery, the Tubo soldiers were greatly encouraged and followed Zhan Dui towards Yan Yun's cavalry. .
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of both sides collided violently, and then charged at each other, as if two torrents collided heavily, and then merged and stirred! The sword was flashing and the smoke was swirling. For a moment, it was impossible to tell who was the Yanyun army and who was the Tubo army. The Tubo War Cavalry was far from being a match for the Yan Yun War Cavalry, and they had just experienced a flaming ambush. After recovering from their shock, they were unable to compete with the Yan Yun War Cavalry. They saw the Tubo War Cavalry was covered in flesh and blood under the Yan Yun War Cavalry's devastating onslaught. The flying man flipped over on his back!
In just a moment, the two torrents that merged together separated again, each took dozens of steps, and then turned their horses to face each other. At this time, the open space between the two sides was littered with corpses. The seriously injured horses screamed and tried to get up but could not. Seventy-eight of the ten people killed were Tibetan soldiers. Although the strength of both sides was equal, their combat power was not. There is a huge difference. The Tubo War Cavalry is no match for the Yanyun War Cavalry. Therefore, most of the people killed in battle are Tubo soldiers. The Yanyun warriors were ready to attack, their murderous intent was soaring to the sky, and their momentum was even stronger than before. However, the Tubo warriors were frightened, with a look of fear on their faces. An officer whispered to Zhandui: "General, the Yanyun warriors are very brave. We , we are no match for them! Retreat!" Zhan Dui frowned.
Just when Zhan Dui was hesitating, Yan Yun's warriors roared loudly and charged again. Thousands of iron hooves broke through the ground and rushed towards the Tibetan army. Zhan Dui thought that Hanon's 20,000 war cavalry were not far away and would surely arrive soon for reinforcements. He immediately made up his mind, raised his scimitar and shouted: "Come with me!" Although the Tibetan soldiers were afraid, they subconsciously With a shout, he followed Zhandui to meet Yan Yun's army.
The Yan Yun army crashed into the Tubo army like a stormy sea, with iron hooves like the tide and cold light like snow, killing the Tibetan soldiers staggering around and shaking in fear. Zhan Dui met a Yanyun warrior, intending to kill the opponent in one fell swoop and turn the tide of the battle. However, he did not expect that the Yanyun warrior was so brave. When a shot came at him, he raised his gun to block the attack, which was so shocking that all the bones in his body seemed to fall apart. Generally speaking, Zhan Dui was horrified! After several rounds of fighting, Zhan Dui's hands were trembling from the strength of the opponent, and he seemed to be unable to hold the spear! At this moment, he saw his opponent's big gun roaring towards him. Zhan Dui was frightened and hurriedly raised his gun to block. The two guns intersected with a loud snap. Zhan Dui immediately couldn't hold the long gun and exclaimed, "The long gun Fly out.
The fierce general Yan Yun followed up with a shot. Zhan Dui saw the cold light flashing at the head of the gun and rushed to the door. He was frightened and hurriedly dodged, but failed to completely dodge. There was a pop, and the opponent's spear penetrated. His left shoulder. Zhan Dui only felt severe pain. He was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything else. He hurriedly turned his horse's head, leaned on the saddle and ran away. Yan Yun's warriors are in hot pursuit.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
