Yang Peng chuckled, slapped her gently on the buttocks, and said with a smile: "No need." Then he closed his eyes, put his hands around Yeqi Guanyin's slender waist, and said, "Sleep."
Ye Qi Guanyin shook him gently. Yang Peng opened his eyes and saw Ye Qi Guanyin looking at him with his eyes open. He couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong? Can't you sleep?" Ye Qi Guanyin said, "No, you can talk to me." Yang Peng said. : "Then let me tell you a story." Ye Qi Guanyin showed a very interested expression and moved her delicate body in Yang Peng's arms to make herself more comfortable.
Yang Peng thought for a while and then told the story of Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies. ... After Yang Peng finished telling the story, he lowered his head to look at Ye Guanyin. He was surprised to find that Ye Xi Guanyin did not look as moved as the other women. Instead, he frowned with a look of contempt on his face. He couldn't help but feel strange: "Guanyin, Don’t like this story?”
Just listen to Ye Qi Guanyin say: "That Dong Yong is really a waste. The Seven Fairies would actually fall in love with such a man. He is even stupider than the stupidest woman!" Yang Peng was greatly surprised. This was the first time he heard this. Someone said this about this story. Ye Qi Guanyin continued: "That Dong Yong sold himself to bury his father, it only shows that he is a waste. He actually went to the point of selling himself to bury his father. If it was a war-torn era, it would be excusable, but it is obviously a peaceful and prosperous age. It shows that he is a useless man. Later, when he married the Seventh Fairy, he actually had to rely on his wife's secret help to earn enough money. A useless man like this is actually not much different from the kind of man who sells his wife and children. the difference!"
Yang Peng chuckled, feeling that although Ye Qi Guanyin's comments were unheard of, they seemed to make some sense. That Dong Yong seemed to be a really useless man. If you think about it carefully, it seems that he doesn't have any impressive performance in his feelings for the Seven Fairies.
Ye Qi Guanyin hummed: "This story is most likely made up by those good-for-nothing men, who imagine that if they can get a beautiful and capable wife, they can enjoy great blessings without having to do anything! Or maybe those Confucianists The story concocted by the scholar seems to promote filial piety, but in fact it does not promote the idea of loyalty to the emperor! Huh!"
Yang Peng kissed Yedi Guanyin's forehead and said with a smile: "Guanyin said it very well!" Yedi Guanyin said: "This story is not good, brother, please tell another story, but don't use this kind of story, it is not interesting at all. "
Yang Peng thought for a while and turned around all the ancient legends and stories in his mind. He found that they were all similar to the story of "Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies". Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of the martial arts novels about heroes he had read at that time. He immediately thought Now that I have the information, the beautiful story between Wei Xiaobao and Mrs. Hong is told with a slight change.
Ye Qi Guanyin giggled and looked at Yang Peng with her beautiful eyes. She gently hit Yang Peng on the chest with her fist and said angrily: "I am that Mrs. Hong, and you are that Wei Xiaobao!" She said slenderly The jade hand slid down from Yang Peng's chest into the quilt. Yang Peng shuddered and couldn't help but snort. Ye Qi Guanyin said charmingly: "Let Mrs. Hong serve Xiaobao!" Yang Peng's heart swayed, and a sense of pleasure that he had never felt before came to his heart. I saw Ye Qi Guanyin's charming face, her red lips gently opened...
Songhe's trusted general Awang led the 25,000 Tibetan war cavalry to quietly descend into the snow-capped mountain fortress at night, and then got into the dense forest to the northwest and headed northwest along the dense forest. Although the forests in the temperate zone are not as thorny as the tropical rain forests, it is very inconvenient for the cavalry to travel in the middle. The speed is much slower than traveling on the grasslands and official roads, but there is an advantage, that is, they can avoid Yan Yun. According to the scout's investigation, they were traveling in the dense forest. Unless Scout Yan Yun entered the forest to investigate carefully, it would be impossible to discover their whereabouts. And if Scout Yanyun really wants to come to the woods, they can detect it early and shoot him before he realizes the situation.
The Tubo cavalry walked through the woods and arrived at the edge of the woods the next morning. This place was already more than a hundred miles west of Xiliang Mansion. Generally speaking, scouts would not go so far, but Awang ordered the army to be on the safe side. Stop the march and wait in the woods for dark. At night, the army moved forward again and continued to march northwest. In this way, 25,000 war cavalry, led by Nga Wang, marched day and night towards Rouge Mountain. Behind these cavalry were 30,000 infantry troops led by Busang. They also marched day and night. As Awang's support force, they were also hurrying up.
At the same time, Song He personally commanded the main army with great fanfare under the Snowy Mountains and marched towards Xiliang Mansion. The army was at its peak. Scout Yan Yun noticed the movements of Song He's army and immediately reported the situation to Yang Peng. Yang Peng smiled and said to Shi Ping and Zhan Jinguo: "All cavalry, gather immediately and gather at the south city gate to wait for orders." Shi Ping and Zhan Jinguo clasped their fists in agreement and left. Everyone knows that Zhanjin Kingdom is the commander of the Xuanjia Army, and Shi Ping is the commander of the light cavalry of the legion directly under Yanyun.
Ye Qi Guanyin asked Yang Peng: "Brother, are you going to give them a showdown?"
Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Ye Qi Guanyin nodded and said: "Very good. But you must pay attention to safety! Although the combat power of our army's war cavalry is much stronger than that of the Tubo army, the Tubo army after all numbers in the hundreds of thousands, and the number of people is overwhelming. If If we really have a head-on confrontation, our army will definitely not be our opponent!" Yang Peng held Yedi Guanyin's slender hand and said with a smile: "Don't you trust me, brother?" Yedi Guanyin glared at Yang Peng angrily and said angrily: " I'm worrying blindly, your hateful enemy is much more powerful than me!"
Yang Peng's heart skipped a beat, and when he saw the stunning beauty of Yedi Guanyin, he wanted to kiss her red lips. However, thinking that there were many subordinates still around, he couldn't be too unscrupulous, so he said to Yedi Guanyin: "I will give the city to her again. You!" Ye Qi Guanyin nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will go wrong!"
Yang Peng smiled slightly and strode out of the hall.
Soon after, the south city gate of Xiliang Mansion opened, and more than 20,000 warriors poured out of the city gate, and then divided into two groups. A group of 2,000 Xuanjia troops led by Zhan Jinguo detoured from the east and advanced southward, while Yang Peng Lead a large group of cavalry to go straight south. The speed is not very fast. This is the way the cavalry marches before the battle. The speed is average, faster than the infantry, but much slower than the cavalry charge. This is to conserve horse power. If this is the time, run at full speed. , then when it comes time to engage the enemy, the cavalry will not have the strength to charge.
Yang Peng led more than 20,000 war cavalry and marched south for more than fifty miles. They saw smoke and dust rising from behind the grassy slope in front, and at the same time there was a faint thunder-like sound. Yang Peng raised his right hand and reined in the war horse. More than 20,000 war horses slowly stopped. There were more than 20,000 warriors and more than 20,000 war horses. Except for the occasional gentle cry from the war horses, there was no noise at all. The wind The flags were moving, and green ripples were rising on the grassland.
After a while, many figures appeared on the grassy slope in front, and then the crowd on the grassy slope surged, and at the same time there were screams of surprise.
Yang Peng pressed his hand forward, and more than 20,000 warriors roared and surged into action. In the blink of an eye, they rushed up the hillside and drove the Tubo army who was caught off guard on the hillside to pieces. Then a large army appeared in front of Yan Yun's army. On the south slope of the hillside, there were 20,000 to 30,000 people, a large black mass. , looking panic-stricken at the moment, obviously they did not expect to bump into Yanyun War Cavalry here!
Yang Peng led the Yanyun war cavalry without any pause, and rushed straight down the hillside, slamming into the middle of the enemy army. Trampled by iron hooves and flying swords, the Tubo army was instantly like a pile of sand in a flood. Then they collapsed in all directions, corpses were flying with blood, and people were on their backs, unable to stop the charge of Yan Yun's war cavalry. A torrent of Yanyun's cavalry swept through the enemy army. Tens of thousands of Tibetan troops completely collapsed. Corpses were scattered on the grass, while the surviving Tibetan troops screamed and ran away.
Yanyun's army ignored these defeated troops, slowed down and continued to advance south.
Hundreds of thousands of Tibetan troops marched northward in mighty force. Songhe rode in the middle of the army, full of ambition and imagining what would happen after a great victory over Yanyun's army. Suddenly, news came from the sentinel in front that a large group of enemy cavalry was approaching. Songhe and other Tubo generals were shocked, and Duosang said in disbelief: "I didn't expect that the Yanyun Army in Xiliang Mansion would dare to attack with such a small force!" Songhe said angrily: "I didn't expect that he also did it. !" Then he ordered: "Stop the entire army and form an array on the spot!"
The hundreds of thousands of Tibetan troops immediately stopped advancing and formed an array on the spot, forming ten large square formations with their backs on the grassy slopes. The Chinese army's formation was located on the highest grassy slope. The shield bearers and spearmen were in front, and the crossbowmen were in the back, waiting in full formation. The formation is like a mountain, and the swords and guns are like a forest. The Tubo army is indeed a well-trained elite division.
Soon after, tens of thousands of warriors were seen overflowing on the grassy slope in the distance, slowly approaching, and after a moment, they stopped.
When Songhe saw that it was indeed Yanyun War Cavalry, he couldn't help but feel angry and cursed: "What the hell is Hanon doing? Didn't he encounter them as a forward?" Duosang frowned and said: "I'm afraid they have been defeated. It's over! Hanon's vanguard is just an infantry. Facing these tens of thousands of cavalry, if we don't notice it in advance, we will definitely be unable to withstand it! As an infantry, after being defeated, I'm afraid it will be difficult to warn us!" Song He snorted, then looked at Yan Yun's army in the distance, and sneered: "Our army of hundreds of thousands is waiting in a tight formation, but we want to see how Yan Yun's warriors charge into the formation! I'm afraid they don't dare!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yan Yun's war cavalry moving in the distance, and then it surged towards his own army formation like a tidal wave. Songhe was shocked and said in disbelief: "Are they crazy? More than 20,000 warriors dare to charge at my formation of hundreds of thousands of troops!?"
Duosang stammered: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid Yan Yunjun can really do it!"
Yanyun's cavalry rushed to the Tubo army formation like a tide, and together they raised their cavalry crossbows and fired a wave of arrows at the Tubo army formation. The arrows fell into the Tubo army, and there was only a loud crackling sound. The Tubo soldiers were shot to the ground one after another. The army formation that was attacked by the arrows was in chaos. The Tubo soldiers were all frightened. The Tubo generals and officers were pulling at each other. With shouts, the Tubo crossbowmen fired arrows one after another, and the arrows flew out, but most of them fell in front of the Yanyun war cavalry and did not cause any harm to the Yanyun war cavalry.
Yanyun's cavalry stopped and raised their crossbows to fire arrows. The arrows flew in random directions, and many Tibetan soldiers were shot to the ground. The Tubo archers fought back again, but still couldn't reach Yan Yun's army. The Tibetan archers all use horn bows and do not have strong crossbows. The cavalry crossbows used by the Yanyun war cavalry are specially designed and improved from the infantry divine arm bows to facilitate the use of cavalry arrows. , the power and range are not comparable to the Tubo bows and arrows.
The Yanyun cavalry kept firing arrows, and the Tubo soldiers were constantly shot to the ground. The battle situation at the scene was completely one-sided. Tubo was completely passive and was unable to fight back. The morale of the army inevitably began to waver, and the entire military formation also began to waver. .
Seeing the critical situation, Songhe shouted urgently: "Hurry up and push the crossbow and stone cannon up!" Songhe had no choice but to use heavy weapons in desperation. The Chinese Tibetan army immediately took action, pushing the bed crossbows and stone cannons in front of the Chinese army's formation and setting them up on the hillside. Yang Peng saw the movements of the Tubo people from a distance, and immediately ordered the entire army to stop attacking and retreat, and the entire army began to retreat. The Tubo army struggled to load their guns, arrows and stones, and launched a wave of attacks on the Yanyun army without waiting for Songhe's order. I saw huge guns and arrows flying out, and stones were thrown high into the sky by catapults and fell into the distance.
The spears, arrows and stones fell into the middle of the retreating Yan Yun cavalry rear group. For a moment, the horses were turned upside down, and many people were killed or injured. The horses that lost their owners were still running with the group.
Yan Yun's cavalry returned to the previous place, turned its horse's head, and faced the enemy. When the Tubo people saw that many of their own people had been shot to death and wounded by their opponents, they could not help but feel sad and angry, and at the same time they were also frightened.
Yanyun's war cavalry did not launch another attack, but they did not leave. More than 20,000 war cavalry pressed against the Tibetan army, as if they would charge at any time. Relying on their large numbers and numerous heavy weapons, the Tibetan army stood ready, like a tortoise with its head shrunk and four legs, and was simply invulnerable. However, the Tubo army did not dare to act rashly. Facing the Yanyun War Cavalry, which was watching eagerly, they knew very well that as long as a very small flaw was revealed, the attack would surge in like a flood that broke the embankment, and they would be annihilated. Got it! The two sides were in a stalemate, and time passed slowly.
The sun has set in the west, but Yanyun's army still shows no sign of attacking, and has no intention of withdrawing. It seems that it is at war with the Tubo people. The Tubo people stood in formation for a whole day and were very tired, but they did not dare to move at all. At this time, the Tubo forward troops who had been defeated by Yanyun's cavalry were bypassing the confrontation area between the two sides and returning to their own formation one after another.
Hanon came to Songhe and saluted with a face of shame: "General, we, we..." Songhe was originally very angry about Hanon's defeat, but seeing his very embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help but be filled with anger. Most of the time had faded, and he said angrily: "Gather your troops and horses, and form up behind our army's formation." Hanon responded quickly and rode down to gather the remaining soldiers under his command.
"Hey, what is that?" A general suddenly pointed to the distance behind him and shouted. Everyone looked back and saw the sky in the distance was red, as if there was a fire somewhere in the distance. Songhe's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted: "No! Someone is attacking our rear army!" After hearing this, all the generals thought of it, their expressions all changed, and Zhan Dui said anxiously: "General, we have to Return for help quickly!"
Duosang said anxiously: "No!" Then he pointed at the more than 20,000 Yanyun warriors who were preparing to attack in front of him, and said: "The Yanyun warriors are guarding the side. If we move a little bit, they will attack immediately. Come up and attack fiercely, we must not act rashly!" Zhan Dui said angrily: "Are we just going to watch the rear army being wiped out by the enemy?" Duosang was about to speak, Song He said: "Now this situation is also unavoidable. !" Then he sternly said to the generals: "Pass the order, all troops must not move rashly, and those who disobey the order will be killed!" All the generals were shocked and agreed together.
The soldiers and horses of both sides continued to stand in a stalemate. Night had fallen and the flames in the distance became clearer. The Tubo people were very anxious, but no one dared to move. At this moment, to the surprise of all the Tubo people, the Yanyun War Cavalry, which they thought would continue to fight with them, actually withdrew.
The Tubo soldiers could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, but still did not dare to act rashly. Songhe sent scouts to investigate the actions of Yanyun's warriors, and found that Yanyun's warriors had indeed withdrawn. Songhe felt very confused and frowned: "It is not good for us but good for them to continue the stalemate with us here. Why do they want to retreat?" Duosang thought: "I think it is a problem of food and grass. How much food and grass can they carry with them?" What? It's been a whole day, and the food and grass must have been exhausted. It's impossible to retreat even if you don't want to!" Everyone felt that what he said made sense and nodded.
But Duosang immediately frowned and said, "But our food and grass were also burned by them. I'm afraid we have no choice but to retreat to the snowy mountains."
Songhe smiled and said, "That's not necessarily the case!"
Duosang looked at Songhe with a puzzled expression. Song He said to Zhan Dui: "You come and tell everyone." Everyone's eyes immediately focused on him. I saw him smiling triumphantly and saying: "The general has long expected that the enemy might send cavalry to attack our rear team's food and fodder, so he formulated a strategy that depends on reality and fiction early in the morning." Everyone was even more puzzled. Zhan Dui said: "The general has a clever plan and has long expected the enemy's move, so he divided the rear team into two parts. The first part transported not real food and grass, while the second part transported food and grass. The enemy attacked. This is the first part, and all that was burned was fake food and grass!" All the generals suddenly realized that they couldn't help but admire Song He's resourcefulness.
Song He raised his voice and said: "The army will camp on the spot and wait for the grain and fodder team to come up before continuing to march." The generals agreed in unison, seeming to have restored the morale that had been knocked down by Chen Xiao. …
After Yang Peng led the cavalry brigade to leave the battlefield, they did not return north to Xiliang Mansion. Instead, they ran west and entered a large forest. The army stopped to rest. A moment later, a fast horse galloped from the west, ran into the woods, and came directly in front of Yang Peng. He reined in his horse, turned over and dismounted, ran to Chen Xiao, knelt down on one knee, took out a letter from his arms, held it up with both hands, and said: "An urgent letter from General Yang Gui."
Yang Peng took the letter, opened it, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and read it again, with a slight smile on his face. At this time, a rumbling roar came from outside the forest. Yang Peng put away the letter and looked out of the forest. Under the faint moonlight, he saw many cavalry rushing towards this side. A secret guard rushed to Chen Xiao, clasped his fists and said, "Master, he is the war horse of General Zhan Jin." Yang Peng nodded and said to the secret guard, "You should return to Xiliang Mansion immediately and report the situation here to me. Inform the princess." The guard responded, ran down, and then saw a horse galloping out of the woods.
Zhan Jinguo led the Xuanjia Army into the woods, and the army stopped. Zhan Jinguo asked the officer next to him: "Where is King Yan?" The officer pointed to a place and said: "It's right there." Zhan Jinguo ordered his Xuanjia army to rest on the spot, and he galloped to Yang Peng. He reined in his horse, turned over, cupped his fists and said, "Brother!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work." Zhan Jinguo smiled and said: "It's not hard work. I didn't encounter much strong resistance at all. I defeated them in a few times and burned the food and grass!" Yang Peng murmured: "No. Encountered strong resistance." Then he motioned to Zhan Jinguo to sit down, and the two sat down. Yang Peng picked up a water bag next to him and threw it to Zhan Jinguo. Zhan Jinguozheng's mouth was dry, so he drank half of the water bag in big gulps, then put down the water bag and let out a long breath.
Yang Peng said: "You may not know that the grain and grass team you raided is not the real grain and grass team, but a false target released by the enemy."
Zhan Jinguo was shocked, and then he stood up angrily, clasped his fists and said, "I will lead the Xuanjia Army again!" Yang Peng stood up and said, "By the time you arrive, the food and grass should have entered their army." Camp, there is no chance." Seeing that Zhan Jinguo looked very annoyed and blaming himself, he smiled and patted his shoulder and said: "Don't blame yourself, I would have been fooled in that situation. The reason why I know you The target of the attack was false, not because of my ability to pinch and calculate, but because our army caught a Tibetan general when leaving the battlefield and learned about the situation from his mouth. This Songhe has some abilities. , is not an easy beauty to deal with."
Zhan Jinguo said angrily: "What a pity!" Yang Peng said: "Our purpose is to slow down the speed of the Tibetan army marching into Xiliang Mansion. After this round of raids, although the Tubo army cannot be said to have become a frightened bird, it will also become a frightened bird. We are very cautious and will never dare to separate the army and food, so the march will be very slow and it will take at least five or six days to reach Xiliang Mansion. In this way, we have achieved the purpose of delaying the Tibetan army." He glanced at Zhan Jinguo and said, Said: "We have more important things to do, have a good rest tonight!" Zhan Jinguo promised with clasped fists.
The forest was quiet as more than 20,000 Yanyun soldiers fell asleep. For the sake of confidentiality, there was not even a bonfire in the forest.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
