Yang Jiumei glanced at everyone and said categorically: "The King of Yan is an unparalleled hero in the world. There have been many more critical things than this in the past. Which one of them has troubled the King of Yan? Since the King of Yan is here, he is sure to hold on. Yanjing, when our reinforcements from Yanyun continue to arrive, the situation will definitely be reversed! Our army will win and the Khitans will lose!" All the staff were worried at first, but after hearing Yang Jiumei's words, they couldn't help but recover a lot. Confidence, I just feel that with King Yan here, no matter how big the difficulty is, I will be able to get through it without any danger.
Seeing the change in the demeanor of the staff, Yang Jiumei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As King Yan's subordinates, we don't have to worry about anything else. We only need to fulfill our duties faithfully, carry out King Yan's orders, and do our part." "All the staff bowed and agreed. Yang Jiumei said: "Everyone, please go down." Everyone responded and retreated. Yang Jiumei looked at the backs of everyone and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, then frowned slightly, with a clear look of worry in her eyes. …
After receiving the report, Yang Peng and Ye Qi Guanyin hurried to the city wall and looked outside the city. They saw flames rising to the sky on the Fragrant Mountain in the distance, lighting up half of the night sky. At the same time, there was a faint sound of swords and soldiers fighting. The sound of shouts and screams. Yang Peng frowned and cursed: "What a fool!" Xiangshan to the west of Yanjing is the location of Yanyun's Loyal Soul Hall. It is a place where Yanyun worships and pays homage to the loyal souls of fallen soldiers. Judging from the current situation, Zhonghun Hall must have been looted by Khitan soldiers.
"Look, King Yan!" Ma Jin suddenly pointed to the southeast and shouted.
Everyone's eyes immediately followed the direction of his finger, and they saw a scene of flames and candlelight in the southeast. Ma Jin said: "That should be Qingquan Town. The Khitans also looted it!" Qingquan Town is a town more than 20 miles southeast of the eye. Because there is a huge clear spring in the middle of the town, it was named Qingquan Town. Originally, It was a very peaceful place with beautiful scenery, but I don’t know what it has become now!
Soon after, one after another frightened refugees fled to the city wall, begging the defenders in the city to open the door and drag their families with them. Many people were injured, and the children were frightened and crying. The scene was a desolate scene.
The guards at various city gates came to ask Yang Peng for instructions, should they open the city gates? At this moment, in the darkness not far behind the refugees, there were longing figures, and the sound of horses neighing could be heard from time to time. It was obvious that there were Jin Army cavalry ambushing behind the refugees.
Ye Qi Guanyin said: "The enemy's cavalry are hiding behind the refugees, waiting for us to open the city gate, so that they can rush into the city gate and seize the city! They are plundering the town outside the city tonight. I'm afraid their purpose is not to wash the city. The plunder is in Yanjing!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a whooshing sound outside the city, and then the people outside the city suddenly screamed, and many people were shot to the ground by arrows. Seeing this scene, the people on the city wall were frightened and angry, while the people outside the city were even more frightened. Pushing each other, many people fell into the moat, struggling and shouting, and the scene was chaotic.
Ma Jin said excitedly: "King Yan, we can't just watch the people being killed by Khitan dogs! King Yan, please let me go out of the city to rescue!"
Yang Peng said: "To save these people, we must first defeat the enemy! I will lead a hundred secret guards to rush out of the west gate. Ma Jin and Guanyin, you will lead a hundred secret guards to rush out of the east gate and south gate respectively!" Remember, as soon as you leave the city gate, attack the enemy with all your strength so that they have no time to worry about anything else!" Ma Jin excitedly clasped his fists and agreed, and Ye Qi Guanyin also agreed. Yang Jiumei said anxiously: "King Yan, please don't act on impulse! This is the enemy's conspiracy. If you attack, the risk is too high. If the enemy is allowed to rush into the city gate, the consequences will be disastrous! King Yan is concerned about the safety of the entire Yanyun, and he must not commit the crime lightly." risk!"
Yang Peng patted Yang Jiumei's shoulder and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense, but as the King of Yan, I can't just watch Yanyun's people being killed by the enemy and remain indifferent!" Seeing that Yang Jiumei wanted to say more, he said : "I have decided, Jiumei, please stop talking!" Yang Jiumei showed helplessness. Yang Peng said: "After the three of us attack, you must prepare the crossbowmen to respond. In addition, you must prepare three armies to be placed near the three city gates to deal with the worst possible situation!" Yang Jiumei nodded. .
Yang Peng and the others ran down the city wall, while Ye Qi Guanyin and Ma Jin ran towards the east gate and south gate respectively. Yang Peng got on his horse, followed by a hundred secret guards, riding war horses and holding spears. They all looked fierce.
Yang Peng nodded to the city gate captain. Upon seeing this, the latter quickly led his soldiers to lift the door bars and open the city gate. At the same time, there was a loud bang outside the city and the suspension bridge was lowered. Yang Peng immediately led a hundred secret guards to gallop out, shouting at the same time: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!..." When the people outside the city saw the suspension bridge lowered, they were about to rush into the city gate, but suddenly they saw a large group of cavalry. He ran toward me with great momentum. He was startled, and when he heard the other party's shouts, he immediately and subconsciously stepped aside to both sides.
Yang Peng led a hundred cavalry and galloped past among the people. At the same time, the Khitan army's war cavalry, which had been hidden behind the people, surged up. Under the moonlight, there were only tens of thousands of people visible!
Yang Peng led hundreds of cavalry to pierce the enemy's center like sharp arrows. Yang Peng took the lead, and the iron horse in his hand danced with pieces of cold light. Screams rang out all around, and no one could match him; At the same time, the one hundred secret guards following Yang Peng also moved forward bravely, never to look back, charging and killing fiercely, fearlessly, and killed the enemy's soldiers bloody and bloody, and the secret guards fell off their horses. Undiminished, he still roared crazily, wielded his spear and sword, and slashed the enemy continuously, looking like a mad tiger, and finally died in a bloody battle!
The enemy's thousands of cavalry originally wanted to take advantage of the opening of the city gate to rush into the city gate. They didn't take it too seriously when they saw the enemy's hundreds of cavalry leaving the city just now. They just thought that their own thousands of cavalry were rushing forward, and it would be better to sweep them away like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. ? However, once the battle started, it was discovered that it was not the case at all. Although the opponent only had a hundred cavalry, they were extremely brave and unstoppable. Not to mention sweeping them away in one go, they could not even take care of the assault on the city gate for a while. Nearly ten thousand Khitan army cavalry were concentrated. Use your energy to deal with the hundreds of enemy troops in front of you.
Yan Yun Baiqi rode fearlessly among thousands of enemy troops. The more he fought, the braver he became, and until the end he felt like he was in a deserted land! The Khitan army saw that the Yan Yun army was so impressive and unstoppable that they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts. When Tuotuo, a powerful general of the Khitan army, saw that his own army of ten thousand war cavalry could not defeat the opponent's hundreds of cavalry, he was shocked and angry. He kept shouting at the top of his lungs. Under his command, the Khitan army's war cavalry continued to charge towards Yan Yun's war cavalry from all directions. Surrounded by everyone, a huge whirlpool formed with Yanyun War Cavalry as the center!
Yang Peng was paying attention to the movements of the Khitan army while fighting. He saw the Khitan army's cavalry constantly surrounding them from all directions. They all seemed to be frantic and desperate, and felt that if they didn't rush out as soon as possible, they would be surrounded by the enemy and unable to escape! At this moment, several groups of Khitan army warriors rushed up, charging at Yang Peng with spears and scimitars. Yang Peng arrived first, and quickly swept away the horse in his hand, cutting open the chests of several Khitan warriors. The Khitan warriors screamed and fell off their horses. Seeing that Yang Pengyong was unstoppable, the surrounding Khitan army warriors did not dare to step forward for a moment.
Yang Peng immediately placed the horse's saddle horizontally on the saddle in front of him, took out the cloud-piercing bow, drew out the carved feather arrow, and pointed the arrow at the Khitan general Tuotuo who was commanding his men to attack in the crowd. As soon as his fingers were loosened, there was only a bang. Almost at the same time, the Khitan army general Totuo screamed and fell off his horse.
The general was suddenly killed, and the Khitan army couldn't help but panic. Yang Peng took this opportunity and led the remaining dozen or so secret guards to break out of the siege and ran into the city gate covered in blood. The city gate was immediately closed and the drawbridge was pulled up. The Khitan army chased them to the moat, and arrows rained down from the city wall. The Khitan army officers and soldiers were immediately thrown off their horses, suffering heavy casualties and retreating in a hurry.
Yang Peng didn't care about getting off his horse and asked Yang Jiumei anxiously, "How is the situation at Guanyin and Ma Jin?"
At this moment, a scout came to report on Pegasus: "Report to King Yan, General Ma Jin has successfully withdrawn," "Where is Guanyin?" "The Princess is surrounded outside the South City Gate!"
Yang Peng's heart tightened, and he immediately galloped towards the south gate. A dozen secret guards covered in blood followed closely behind, while the people who had been rescued knelt down to thank them for saving their lives. Yang Jiumei shouted urgently from behind. Shouted: "King Yan! King Yan!" Seeing that Yang Peng did not agree, he couldn't help feeling annoyed. After thinking about it, he ordered Ma Jin to take the troops originally gathered at the east and west gates to the east gate, and warned: "If King Yan is in danger, so immediately lead all the soldiers and horses out of the city for rescue! The life and death of all of us is not important, nor is the gain or loss of Yanjing. The most important thing is the safety of King Yan!"
More than a dozen cavalrymen rushed out of the south city gate and saw the sound of killing in the distant fields. Countless Khitan army cavalry were surrounding Yeyi Guanyin and fiercely killing them. The enemy general leading the team was the one Yang Peng had seen before. Two blond ghost guys, West and Butler.
Yang Peng led a dozen brave warriors to penetrate through the middle of the enemy army. The enemy soldiers could not stop them, and they died under the weapons of these dozen desperadoes. The army suddenly became a little commotion.
When West saw Yang Peng leading his men to kill him, he was not surprised but overjoyed. He pointed at Yang Peng and shouted to Butler: "It's King Yan!" Butler had already seen it, nodded excitedly, and said loudly: "I'll kill him." Him!" After saying that, he urged his war horse and rushed towards Yang Peng with the cross sword in hand. In the blink of an eye, the two sides met among thousands of troops. Butler yelled and swung his sword towards Yang Peng's head. At this time, Yang Peng had just picked off a Khitan army officer and suddenly saw Butler's fierce momentum. Come to kill.
If ordinary people suddenly saw such a scene, they would definitely be shocked, but Yang Peng's eyes burst with excitement. Seeing that the opponent's cross sword was about to hit his forehead, at the critical moment, he quickly raised his iron horse. . In an instant, the cross sword struck hard on the iron pole of the iron horse, making a loud clang that could be clearly heard even in this noisy and fierce battlefield.
Yang Peng blocked the opponent's inevitable thunderous blow, then retracted the horse with both hands, quickly turned the horse, and then launched it towards Butler from the bottom up! Butler originally wanted to attack again, but he suddenly saw the opponent's horse roaring up from below. He was frightened and hurriedly dodged, narrowly avoiding it again and again. Chen Xiao continued to attack, one after another, sweeping across, upward, slashing, or stabbing, as fast as lightning, and as powerful as splitting a mountain. Butler could only parry and was unable to fight back. Butler blocked more than ten moves. Seeing that the opponent's attack became more and more fierce, he couldn't help being frightened and frightened.
Another few moves passed, but Butler's moves were scattered. Yang Peng went straight into the palace and struck the opponent's chest. Butler hurriedly returned his sword to block, but in his haste, his strength was limited and he was unable to block Yang Peng's overwhelming force. With one blow, only a soft click was heard, and Ma Cha pierced the armor on Butler's chest. Butler was so frightened that he leaned back hastily. It was by leaning back that he finally escaped the bad luck of being penetrated by the horse.
Seeing that he failed to kill Butler in one fell swoop, Yang Peng frowned and wanted to continue using his killing moves. But at this moment, West had already charged forward with a cross sword. Yang Peng glanced at him and saw him slashing diagonally with his sword in both hands. He immediately lay back and almost at the same time, the sword blade whizzed past in front of him. Yang Peng sat up quickly, and without turning around, he raised his hand. He only heard a sonorous sound, which seemed to have hit the opponent's body, but it did not completely penetrate the opponent's armor.
At this time, Butler had recovered from his fear. Seeing blood overflowing from his chest, he was frightened and angry. A surge of rage surged into his heart and rushed straight to his forehead. He immediately mobilized his horse and brandished his sword to kill Yang Peng. Yang Peng originally planned to pursue West, but at this time he had to divert his energy to deal with Butler. The two sides fought two moves, and Navest joined the battle group again, flanking Yang Peng with Butler. Yang Peng fought fiercely with the opponent's two warriors. The scene was thrilling! The surrounding Khitan troops subconsciously retreated into the distance, leaving an open area of more than twenty feet for the three of them to fight.
Yang Peng fought fiercely with the two generals for more than 30 rounds without deciding the outcome. He couldn't help but feel anxious. While fighting with his opponents, he looked towards Yexi Guanyin, only to see Yexi Guanyin trapped in the opponent's thousands of troops. , is already exhausted, and it is impossible to break out of the siege with his own strength. At this moment, Ye Qi Guanyin's mount suddenly fell down, and the surrounding Khitan troops rushed forward. Yang Peng was so anxious that he was inevitably distracted. West struck with his sword, but Yang Peng was unable to intercept it. He saw the opponent's sword light was about to hit his body. Thanks to Yang Peng's rich experience in actual combat, he did not panic at the critical moment. He turned abruptly to dodge the opponent's fatal blow. Then he turned his horse's head and ran towards Yeqi Guanyin.
Seeing Yang Peng's defeat, West and Butler were so excited that they quickly urged their horses to catch up. Yang Peng ran five or six feet away, suddenly turned the horse's head, lowered the iron horse's pole horizontally, took out the Chuanyun Bow, pulled out two eagle feather arrows, nocked the arrows and bent the bow to aim at West and Butler who were catching up. When West Butler saw this, his heart trembled, and he subconsciously reined in his horses, causing both horses to stand upright.
At this moment, Yang Peng loosened his fingers and heard a loud crash. Everyone saw only two black shadows fleetingly disappearing. West and Butler were so frightened that they broke up, and did not care about their image. They hurriedly rolled down the horse. They only heard a pop sound. It turned out that two sharp arrows pierced the abdomen of the two horses at the same time. One shot hit West's shoulder, and the other hit Butler's right chest, and the two men groaned.
The surrounding Khitan army officers and soldiers were shocked when they saw this scene. They immediately reacted and rushed to the rescue.
Seeing that West and Butler could not die, Yang Peng wanted to step forward and kill them both. However, at this time, the Khitan army officers and soldiers had surged up from all directions. Seeing that there was no chance, Yang Peng turned his horse's head and headed towards Yeqi Guanyin to kill. At this time, most of the Khitan army officers saw their two generals hit by arrows and fell from their horses. They did not know whether they were alive or dead. The Khitan soldiers passed through the thicket and met up with Ye Qi Guanyin. At this time, Yeyi Guanyin was fighting fiercely on foot. The situation was very difficult, and his body was already scarred. Yang Peng couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he saw this scene.
Yedi Guanyin was overjoyed when she saw her elder brother coming, but then she became worried. She was not worried about herself, but worried about Yang Peng's safety.
Seeing that his woman was forced into such a situation, Yang Peng was very angry. He waved his iron horse and killed the Khitan soldiers who were besieging Yeqi Guanyin in one fell swoop. Then he rushed to Yeqi Guanyin and pulled Yeqi Guanyin onto the horse. , leading her out of the siege and speeding towards Yanjing City. Thousands of Khitan army cavalry howled and chased after him. At this time, there were still sporadic battles behind them, and the few remaining secret guards were engaged in a final fight amid the enemy's siege, falling into a pool of blood one by one!
Yang Peng took Yeyi Guanyin and galloped towards the city gate, with thousands of Khitan army cavalry chasing after him. Although the black dragon colt is a rare divine horse in the world, it has been fighting for such a long time and now it is carrying two people, and it is impossible to compete with it. The pursuers kept their distance. The current situation is still very critical. Yang Peng and Ye Yi Guanyin should be able to rush into the city gate. However, the enemy army is not far away from them. They are afraid that when the two men rush into the city gate, the enemy troops will also take the opportunity to rush into the city gate. The consequences would be unimaginable! Yang Peng couldn't help but wonder, should he turn the horse's head and enter the city from another direction? At this moment, Ye Qi Guanyin said from behind: "You don't have to worry about me!..." Yang Peng said angrily: "Shut up!" Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but get angry, and then a feeling of infinite happiness came to his heart.
Yang Peng took Yeyi Guanyin and ran to a place only two or three miles away from the city gate. Seeing that the pursuers always kept a distance of about twenty steps from him, he frowned and prepared to turn his horse and run towards the other city gate. Go, but if the enemy war cavalry keeps chasing him, it may be useless to escape to other city gates.
At this moment, the city gate in front suddenly opened wide, and Ma Jin led thousands of soldiers and horses to rush out. They quickly arranged themselves against the city wall into a military formation, with shield bearers and spearmen in front, and crossbowmen in the back. A passage was left in the middle of the military formation, and Ma Jin immediately shouted in front of the formation: "King Yan, empress, come quickly!"
Yang Peng immediately gave up his plan to go to other city gates, and rushed in through the reserved passage in the middle of the military formation with Yedi Guanyin. At the same time, the Yanyun army's crossbowmen fired arrows, and the arrows were flying in random directions. The Khitan army's fighting horses screamed and people turned on their backs, and the speed of their galloping obviously slowed down, which seemed a bit chaotic. Immediately, the Khitan army's cavalry fought back with their riding and archery skills. Arrows fell into the middle of Yanyun's army, killing many people immediately.
In the blink of an eye, the Khitan army's cavalry hit hard on the Yanyun army's defense line. The Yanyun army's defense line quickly became criss-crossed, and many shield bearers and spearmen were knocked away by the huge force of the cavalry charge; the Khitan army's defense line quickly became crisscrossed. The military knights fell on their backs, but the war knights behind kept rushing up to attack the Yanyun Army's defense line. The Yanyun Army's defense line finally could not withstand it and was torn to pieces by the Khitan Army's war cavalry. Thousands of city defenders were frightened, and some began to retreat. The Khitan Army's cavalry rushed into the Yanyun Army's formation and swept across the battlefield!
Yang Peng rushed into the city gate with Yeqi Guanyin, and the city gate was immediately closed and the suspension bridge was pulled up. At the same time, arrows rained down from the city wall, and the Khitan army warriors rushing in front turned their horses upside down. The attack momentum of the Khitan army's cavalry was greatly weakened, but such an attack was obviously unable to repel the Khitan army.
Yang Peng reined in the black dragon, turned over and dismounted, and then reached out to hug Yeyi Guanyin down. As soon as Yeyi Guanyin's feet landed on the ground, she felt her whole body go limp and fell into Yang Peng's arms. Yang Peng was anxious and heartbroken when he saw that Ye Qi Guanyin was seriously injured. At this time, several female medical officers who had been waiting at the city gate rushed up. Yang Peng said to them: "Take the empress down immediately for treatment!" The female medical officers In response, he helped Ye Qi Guanyin get into the carriage, and then protected the carriage and ran towards the palace.
Yang Peng looked at the back of the carriage and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking back to the scene just now, he was still frightened. At this time, fierce sounds of fighting and screams could be heard outside. Yang Peng frowned, ignored Yang Jiumei and others who were running towards him, got on his horse, ordered the city gate to be opened, lowered the drawbridge, and then galloped out of the city gate. . When Yang Jiumei saw that Yang Peng had left the city again, she was angry and anxious. She hurried up to the top of the city and looked out of the city.
They saw that thousands of their own soldiers and horses had been smashed to pieces by the enemy. However, Yang Peng and Ma Jin rushed forward and killed each other step by step. The Khitan soldiers were turned upside down and their bodies were covered with blood. The ground was attracted to the two of them. Yang Jiumei was filled with admiration and annoyance at the same time, muttering and cursing: "What a mess!"
Seeing King Yan and the general charging and fighting fearlessly, the city defense army's original panic disappeared without a trace and was replaced by a fierce fighting spirit. The soldiers who were fleeing for their lives turned around and counterattacked. Following Yang Peng and Ma Jin, they counterattacked wildly, cutting off the horse's legs and picking up the enemy soldiers. Blood and flesh flew everywhere on the battlefield!
The Khitan army did not expect that the collapsed Yanyun army would come back with alarming momentum. They had been frightened by Yang Peng and Ma Jin, so they were met with a crazy counterattack by the Yanyun army. They were in chaos and retreated. The Yanyun Army finally defeated the Khitan Army! Seeing this, Yang Peng immediately ordered the attack to stop and led his soldiers to quickly retreat into the city. The Khitan army was only temporarily disrupted. After all, they had an absolute advantage in strength. If they stabilized their position and launched a counterattack, it would be very difficult for their own side to retreat, let alone win.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
