Brother Wei Mingxiu showed admiration and said: "It turns out that the general is from the capital, no wonder he has such an extraordinary demeanor!" Niaz couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and frowned again when he thought of what was happening in front of him. Come on, sigh.
Weiming Xiuge, Natural Way Niaz, was wondering why he was troubled and said: "General, don't worry. Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. General Mills must be a reasonable person and will never blame the general too much for a failure. " Niaz couldn't help but feel less worried when he heard Brother Weimingxiu's words, and said: "The general is naturally reasonable, but you can't escape the punishment. Hey, I don't really have anything to punish, but It's too uncomfortable to be embarrassed in front of others!" Brother Weinaxiu patted Niaz on the shoulder and said: "General, don't worry, I will defend the general in front of the general! In that case, no one can It’s impossible to escape the fate of the entire army being annihilated!”
Niaz was so moved that he bowed to Brother Wei Mingxiu and said, "Thank you so much, General!"
Brother Wei Mingxiu laughed and said: "From now on, we are colleagues. Why should the general be polite to me? We should help each other!" Niaz nodded with deep sympathy and said to Wei Mingxiu sincerely. The brother said: "The general is such a good friend. If the general blames the general for losing Yumen Pass, I will definitely defend the general!" Brother Wei Mingxiu wanted this, and he said gratefully: "Thank you very much!"
The group of people marched all the way to the west. After more than an hour, the army came to an open land sandwiched between woods and sand mountains. Under the moonlight, they saw corpses littering the land, which was shocking.
Niaz couldn't help but feel sad, and cried: "We, we were ambushed here!..." Brother Xiu frowned and nodded, glanced at the scene, and couldn't help but sigh. Niaz said with lingering fear: "Those Yanyun troops came from the woods and sand mountains, just like wolves in the desert. They were extremely fierce. Before we could react, we suffered heavy casualties and were defeated! Those guys are simply not human!"
Weiming Huxiong smiled coldly and said: "What do these Yanyun troops mean? What is really scary about the Yanyun army is the Xuanjia army, the Modao army and the Yanwang cavalry. You are even afraid of such a Yanyun army." In this way, if I meet a real Yanyun elite, I will be scared to death!"
Niaz showed a look of disbelief and asked: "Are you saying that the Xuanjia Army, the Modao Army and the King of Yan's Cavalry are more powerful than the Yanyun Army we are encountering now?" As soon as this question came out, Then I saw that all the Xixia generals, including Brother Weiming Xiu, showed fear. It was revealed naturally. Only those who have an unforgettable fear of certain things will be scared as soon as they hear their names. He couldn't help but show such an expression of fear.
Wei Mingtai murmured: "The Yanyun Xuanjia Army comes and goes like wind and ghosts. By the time you notice it, they are basically dead. Even a million troops cannot catch them. But once they attack, they are like lightning and strong wind." , extremely deadly; Mo Daojun is the God of Iron Tower Killer, although the infantry and light cavalry are no match for them, even the armored cavalry will end up with blood and flesh flying against them; the King of Yan's armor is the most terrifying in the world. The heavily armored war cavalry, as strong as tigers, horses and dragons, were as motionless as mountains and attacked like a tide. No one in the wilderness could withstand their onslaught. Corpses lay everywhere and rivers of blood flowed wherever they passed. They were iron soldiers that could not be resisted by human power. Rui Lv!"
Niaz couldn't help but turned pale, and asked: "They, where are they?" Brother Weinaxiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, these elites have not come here." Niaz breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about it in his heart Yan Yunjun, who had wiped out his entire army, was extremely curious and wanted to continue asking. However, he felt that this was not a place for small talk, so he suppressed the urge to ask.
Brother Wei Mingxiu said: "Keep moving forward." The army continued to move forward and walked to the middle of the corpses on the ground. They couldn't help but feel lingering fear. Kill... The huge killing sound suddenly broke the silence of the night. The Xixia army, which was marching between the woods and sand mountains, suddenly heard such a loud noise. They were all frightened. They looked around hurriedly and saw the flames and candles on the sand mountains. In the sky, thousands of people were squatting or standing under the firelight, and they were Yan Yunjun. Brother Wei Mingxiu and others were shocked to the extreme. They never expected that Yan Yunjun would actually set up an ambush here. They never expected that Yang Yanzhao would expect that his side would escape in the middle of the night and set up an ambush, let alone the ambush. The location would be at a location where an ambush had been set up before. This was completely contrary to the art of war and was simply unbelievable.
Shoot the arrow! Following General Yan Yun's order, only the sound of whistling wind was heard, and the flying arrows could not be seen in the dark night. The panicked Xixia soldiers fell to the ground one after another. The sound of whistling wind was endless, Xixia soldiers were shot to the ground one after another, and screams came one after another. Brother Weiming Xiu shouted loudly: "Retreat toward the woods quickly!" The soldiers immediately resisted the arrows shot from the mountain and retreated toward the woods. In the process, people continued to be shot down by arrows, but no one died. He was crawling and screaming for help, but in this situation, who would dare to risk his life to save others.
The Xixia soldiers suffered heavy losses and retreated to the woods. At this moment, a loud whine suddenly came from the woods. When the Xixia soldiers suddenly heard this voice, they were startled. Before they could turn around, many Xixia soldiers were hit by arrows in their backs and fell to the ground. The Xixia soldiers hurriedly turned around, and another wave of arrows came towards them, immediately shooting down countless Xixia soldiers.
Before the Xixia soldiers could react, there was a loud killing sound in the woods. Under the moonlight, countless fierce Yanyun Army soldiers were seen pouring out of the woods to kill. The Xixia soldiers were horrified and hurriedly fought. The two sides collided violently and started to kill each other. Cold light was flying and blood was flowing wildly. The Xixia soldiers fell to the ground one after another. Yanyun's warriors were like tigers rushing into a flock of sheep. The Xixia army was killed and retreated in a blink of an eye. They were completely defeated! …
Weiming Xiuge and Niaz only escaped from the siege with dozens of cavalry, and ran towards the west, as fast as a fish that escaped the net, as panicked as a bereaved dog, and the sound of wind around them seemed to be from Yan Yun's army. Roaring, the chirping of birds is like the whistling of arrows. How can I dare to turn back and fight again? I only regret that my parents have two legs.
At the same time, Zhang Jiang, Zhang Yuan and the nearby sergeant were surrounded in a forest, unable to escape. They saw groups of Yanyun troops forming formation outside the forest and were about to launch a final attack.
Zhang Yuan said to Zhang Jiang: "General, it is human nature to hesitate before, but at this moment, we can no longer hesitate, otherwise we will all die without a burial place!" Zhang Jiang looked around and saw the soldiers around him. They all looked at themselves with very frightened and hopeful eyes, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said: "I originally planned to be loyal to Daxia, but how could I bear the heart to die together with my brothers who have been with me for so many years? In order to save everyone, I, Zhang Jiang, have no choice but to bear the charge of rebellion!" Then he said to Zhang Yuando: "Brother, go see General Yan Yun immediately and tell them that we are all Han and ask them not to attack, we are willing to surrender!" Zhang Yuan responded happily and quickly galloped out of the woods.
Zhang Jiang and others stood in the woods and looked nervously outside. After seeing Zhang Yuan say something to the man who looked like a general, the general issued an order, and then saw people outside the woods getting ready to attack. Yan Yun's elite retreated fifty steps, and everyone couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Shushu saw Zhang Yuance running back on horseback. Zhang Jiang asked anxiously: "Brother, does the Yanyun Army accept our surrender?" Zhang Yuan said with joy on his face: "That general is actually Yang Yanzhao's powerful general Yang Dezheng. He said that since they are all Han, they are his own. They won’t make things difficult for us. They tell us to go out immediately, put down our weapons, and accept the arrangements!”
Zhang Jiang hesitated and said: "They, will they say this deliberately to lure us out and then kill us?" Zhang Yuan said angrily: "This is impossible! Yan Yunjun has never done this before. This kind of unethical thing, and with the strength of the Yanyun Army and the current situation, why bother playing tricks with us? If they want to kill us, none of us can escape! Brother, we have no choice now. Instead of sitting back and waiting for death, Why not take the risk and give it a try!”
Zhang Jiang felt that what Zhang Yuan said was reasonable, sighed, and shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, come out with me. If the Yanyun army is trying to trick me, let them shoot me first!" The soldiers were moved. They all shouted: "We will live and die together with the general!"
Zhang Jiang took a deep breath and walked out of the woods first. Seeing this, all the soldiers followed him out. Thousands of people threw away their weapons, took off their armor, walked to Yan Yun's army, and lined up in a square formation to wait for disposal. Everyone couldn't help but feel uneasy.
Yang Dezheng sent a team of sergeants to escort them down. At this time, the fighting in other places had already ended. The corpses of the Xixia Army were found all over the mountains and plains, and groups of prisoners were escorted by the Yanyun Army. Brother Wei Mingxiu's 10,000 troops seemed to have been wiped out. It was unlucky for him to meet the world-famous general Yang Yanzhao. All the calculations were under the control of Yang Yanzhao. This result can be said to have been doomed for you.
Yang Dezheng ordered the army to clean up the battlefield, and then escorted the prisoners back to Yumen Pass. Yang Dezheng hurriedly came to the camp hall. He couldn't hide the joy on his face and bowed: "Father, the last general was ordered to ambush the enemy. The enemy's nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses have been completely wiped out. Unfortunately, the enemy general Weiming Xiu Ge escaped. Got it!"
Yang Yanzhao said indifferently: "They are just a few lonely ghosts, don't take them seriously." Yang Gui stepped out and said: "General, our army's morale is so high now, should we simply attack Hamili?"
Yang Yanzhao shook his head and said: "As generals, we cannot attack other countries rashly, unless there is an order from King Yan. The war against Xixia is over! Send a fast horse messenger immediately to report the situation here to King Yan!" Yang Gui agreed. With a cry, he ran down.
Tubo soldiers and horses mobilized from all over the country have gradually gathered in the Snow Mountain Fortress and Qingtang area. The total number of troops has exceeded 300,000, and the leading general is still Song He. Originally, the Tubo Emperor had already retreated after receiving the news that Songhe's attack on Xiliang Mansion had failed. However, he thought that the country had spent countless money and food without getting any benefits. He could not explain to the people that he was the second best, and he could not hope to win Xixia. The nobles of the land confessed that their prestige was very bad, so they felt that the war should be continued. Moreover, he believed that Yanyun was still in difficulty and it was difficult to mobilize enough troops. With tens of thousands of troops and horses, our side still has a great chance of winning. If the entire Xiliang area can be captured in one fell swoop, the people will be happy, the nobles will be happy, and they will naturally be happy as well. The most important thing is that they can obtain a large amount of land to meet the needs of themselves and the nobles.
More than 300,000 Tubo troops gathered in the south of the Snow Mountain. Songhe was full of ambition and prepared to attack Xiliang Mansion in a large scale. However, at this moment, a stream came from the west: the young emperor of Xixia, the queen mother, and the regent all surrendered to Yanyun, and Xixia had perished.
Song He and others were shocked when they suddenly received the news, but when they thought about it, they felt that it was just a matter of time. Duosang frowned and said: "Xixia has been destroyed. The Yanyun army can concentrate its forces in the direction of Xiliang." He glanced at Songhe and said: "We, do we still have to carry out the original plan?"
All the generals frowned and said nothing. Only the middle-aged man with a stout figure and a proud temperament said loudly: "Yan Yun's army can only concentrate its strength at 150,000 troops. Our army exceeds 300,000, twice his size, and we are sure to win." , why are you so timid!" None of the generals said anything, thinking to themselves: "You have never seen Yan Yunjun, so naturally you can say it very easily. Once you have seen it, I'm afraid you won't be able to say this! 'Although all the generals thought so in their hearts, no one said it out loud.
Qucuo said to Songhe: "General, His Majesty has appointed you as the commander-in-chief of this crusade. If you are too timid to take on this important task, why not give up the position of commander to this general?"
Songhe was displeased and said angrily: "My commander-in-chief was appointed by your majesty, how can I just let someone else do it? If you really want to be this commander-in-chief, you can go and beg your majesty!" Qucuo snorted and said loudly: " Then please ask the commander-in-chief to immediately order the attack on Xiliang Mansion! His Majesty appointed you as the commander-in-chief, not just to work as a foreigner!"
Songhe said coldly: "I have my own reasons for what I do. You don't need to remind me, General!" Qucuo sneered and said, "It's good that you know! But you have to be careful. You have been defeated before." After that, if you fail again, let’s see how you explain it to His Majesty!”
Songhe snorted coldly and said, "Of course you hope that I, the general, will fail!" Qucuo said, "I didn't say that. I'm just worried that you will fail, but I don't want you to fail. Don't spit on me!"
Songhe said: "I don't care what you are thinking. Anyway, now I am the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition. You must obey my orders, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless in military law!" Qucuo was furious, and then suppressed his anger and said to himself: Let you be proud for a while. If you attack Xiliang again and it is unfavorable, I will not let you go!
Seeing that Qucuo obeyed his authority, Songhe felt secretly proud. He glanced at the generals and said, "Your Majesty's determination to annex Xiliang is unshakable. What we have to consider is not the difficulty, but how to complete the tasks entrusted by Your Majesty." Mission!" All the generals agreed in unison.
Songhe continued: "Although the Yanyun Army has hundreds of thousands of people, our army is far stronger than them, and we are still relatively sure of this battle; what's more, the main force of the Yanyun Army is still in Gua. On the other side of the state, there are not many enemy troops in Xiliang Mansion. We can take this opportunity to capture Xiliang Mansion first. As long as we capture Xiliang Mansion, the situation will be very polite to us." The generals nodded one after another, feeling Songhe What he said made sense. Only Qu Cuo looked at Song He with a sneer.
Zan Pu said: "What the general said is absolutely true, but considering that Yang Peng and Ye Qian Guanyin are both famous generals on the battlefield, they must have thought of this. Therefore, Xiliang Mansion must be on strict alert. If we attack Xiliang As the saying goes, winning is definitely no problem, I’m just afraid of losing too much!”
Songhe couldn't help but nodded, glanced at Zamp, and asked: "Do you have any good ideas?" Zamp smiled slyly and said: "Since the enemy can predict that we will do this, why must we do this? Let’s do it! We can completely change our strategy and take it by surprise!”
Songhe and others were very curious after hearing what he said was mysterious. Songhe asked: "How to catch him by surprise?"
Zamp walked to the map stand on one side of the tent, and Songhe and other generals surrounded him. Zan Pu pointed at Xuanhua Mansion and Rouge Mountain and said: "Yang Peng and others must be focusing on Xiliang Mansion at the moment. They would never have expected that our army would raid Rouge Mountain and Xuanhua Mansion." Everyone present They are all veteran generals on the battlefield. When they heard what he said, they all understood. They all brightened up. Duosang praised: "Your Excellency, this is a brilliant plan! Xuanhua Prefecture and Rouge Mountain are located between Xiliang Prefecture, Guazhou and other places. , is the chokepoint of the Hexi Corridor! If we occupy this place, it will be equivalent to cutting off the connection between Yanyun's main force and Xiliang Mansion. In this way, our army can not only attack Xiliang Mansion with peace of mind, but also trap it. Yanyun's main force on the Death Guazhou side can be said to have killed two birds with one stone!" All the generals nodded in praise.
Zanpu said: "There is another advantage to attacking Xuanhua Mansion and Rouge Mountain. The Yanyun Army did not expect that we would abandon the near and go far to attack Xuanhua Mansion and Rouge Mountain. Therefore, the defense of these two places must be very weak and defenseless. Our military cavalry can go down in one go without any suspense." Everyone nodded and looked very excited. Zamp's strategy made everyone see the hope of victory.
Songhe said: "Master Zamp's suggestion is very good. This move is beyond the enemy's expectation and will definitely lead to a complete victory!" After thinking for a moment, he said decisively: "That's it!" Then he turned to Awang and said : "Awang, I will hand over all the more than 20,000 war cavalry to you. You lead them to leave the snow-capped mountains and march westward, first to seize Rouge Mountain, and then to seize Xuanhua Mansion! Once you succeed, send someone to report back immediately!" Awang bowed The body promises. Songhe said to Busang again: "Busang, you will lead 30,000 infantry troops to respond later. After capturing Xuanhua Mansion and Rouge Mountain, the Yanyun Army will definitely come with all their strength to capture it! The gains and losses of Xuanhua Mansion and Rouge Mountain are closely related to the entire battle situation." , you two must deal with it carefully, don't be careless!" The latter sentence was said to Busang and Ngawang, and they both bowed and agreed. This Ngawang is not tall, has a strong build, and his dark face gives people a very calm feeling, and his pair of eyes reveal a profound charm; while Busang has no characteristics, he is just a dark middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance.
Songhe said to Zanpu: "Please, Governor, please continue to garrison the Snow Mountain Fortress!" Zanpu asked for it. Although it would be difficult to make any achievements if he did not participate in the Northern Expedition, there would be no fault in staying at the fortress. It would be best if there were no merits and no faults. .
Song He glanced at the other generals and said loudly: "The rest of the generals and their armies will follow me to march to Xiliang Mansion!" All the generals agreed in unison. …
On the city wall of Xiliang Mansion, Yang Peng and Yeli Guanyin were walking under the afterglow of the setting sun, holding hands and loving each other. If it were any other princess, even Zhao Jinxi and Yang Tong would never dare to hold the hand of their lover for a walk in such a public place, but Ye Qi Guanyin is different. This woman from the white mountains and black waters has a wild personality and dares to love. Dare to hate, being intimate with her lover is a natural and very beautiful thing for her. Not to mention just holding hands for a walk, she also dares to do more intimate things.
The two stopped and turned to look at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains outside the city. They saw a high mountain range looming in the clouds and mist at the far end of the horizon. Yang Peng let go of Wanyan Qingfeng's slender hand, and then naturally hugged Yeqi Guanyin's slender waist, raised his other hand and pointed at the mountain range, and said: "That is the snow mountain. According to the intelligence received during the day, More than 300,000 Tibetan troops have gathered south of the Snowy Mountains. Not only did the Tibetans not retreat, but they also increased their troops, which shows that they are not willing to allow us to seize the entire Hexi Corridor!"
Ye Qi Guanyin said proudly: "Xixia is over. We can concentrate our efforts. It will not be a problem to deal with them with more than 300,000 troops!" Yang Peng nodded with a smile, and said with a thoughtful look on his face: "I believe it won't be long. , the Tubo army will launch an attack on Xiliang Mansion!" Yeli Guanyin smiled slightly and glanced at Yang Peng, "We are ready. If they come, just come. Don't be afraid of them! I'm afraid they will be like before. That way, you can escape back in just two seconds!"
Yang Peng chuckled, held the delicate hand of Ye Qi Guanyin tightly, and said softly: "With Guanyin here, let alone the 300,000 Tibetan troops, even if you come and get one million, it's just like a meat bun beating a dog." No reply!" Yedi Guanyin raised her right hand and lightly punched Yang Peng, and said angrily: "What kind of meat bun is beating a dog? Am I a dog?"
Yang Peng sighed and realized there was something wrong with his words. He couldn't help but feel funny and said with a smile: "If you say that, wouldn't we have become a dog couple?" Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but smile and thought about it. Thinking about it, I found it very interesting and smiled.
Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps behind them, and then they came to a stop a few steps behind the two of them. Then Na Ren's voice came: "To the King of Yan, to the Empress, there is a document from Tianjing New City." The two turned around and saw Naren standing in front of him with a letter in his hands.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
