The sound of trumpets sounded on the city wall, and the soldiers who were originally guarding the city wall quickly withdrew the city wall. I saw a Liao general raising a flag and shouting loudly. All the Liao officers and soldiers immediately got busy, loading gunpowder and stone bullets for the artillery, and loading stones or kerosene cans for the catapult. When the general of the Liao Kingdom saw that his soldiers were ready, he immediately pointed his command flag forward and shouted: "Let go!" There was a loud bang, and fireworks shot into the sky in front of the Khitan army's formation. At the same time, countless stones were thrown. And the burning fire oil jars flew into the sky and flew towards the city wall overwhelmingly.
There was a loud crackle, and the cannonball hit the city wall violently. Stone chips flew everywhere, and the sky shook. A cannonball hit the corner of the city gate tower, and that corner immediately collapsed. Before the huge noise caused by the cannonballs passed, stones and kerosene jars rained down again. The bombardment of the stones was enough to repay them, but the kerosene jars were very powerful. As soon as they landed on the city wall, they were instantly Light a piece.
Huge noises came one after another on the city wall, and the Yanyun Army officers and soldiers hid at the base of the wall, waiting quietly; while the people in the city heard the loud noises constantly coming from the city wall, and couldn't help but feel frightened and uneasy; however, being locked up inside The scholars in the cell were all restless and excited, as if they had taken drugs.
Catapults and artillery were bombarding, while Yeqi Hucheng was observing carefully. He was observing which part of the city wall was more vulnerable. He noticed that there were more fine lines on the city wall on the left. Although those fine lines did not threaten the safety of the entire city wall, it obviously meant that the city wall was more fragile. Yeqianhu City immediately ordered the catapults to stop bombarding, ordered all artillery to concentrate fire on that city wall, and ordered 30,000 assault troops to attack from other locations.
The Khitan army's long-range attack suddenly stopped, and the loud rumbling noise gradually stopped. At the same time, the 30,000 Khitan army divided into three teams and surged towards the three selected city walls. The sentry responsible for observing the enemy's situation immediately raised a signal flag towards the city. More than ten thousand Yanyun troops who were waiting at the base of the wall immediately ran up the city wall along the many ladders of the city wall. Looking outside the city, they saw the tide of enemy troops approaching, rolling thunder. A sound like that echoed in my ears.
"Three-bow crossbows are ready, crossbows are ready, rolling stones and wood are ready!" Following Li Xu's shouts, all the soldiers got busy, loading three-bow crossbows and strong crossbows.
Seeing that the enemy was only a hundred steps away from the city wall, Li Xu shouted loudly: "Three-bow bed crossbows, shoot!" More than a hundred three-bow bed crossbows were fired immediately, and huge arrows roared out from the city wall and fell into the sky one after another. Many enemies were knocked away among the enemy troops. Immediately afterwards, violent explosions occurred one after another. Balls of fireworks rose from the enemy troops. The remains of human bodies were lifted into the sky. The momentum of the Khitan army's charge was increased. There was a pause, and then they rushed toward the city wall even faster. Boom boom boom boom...! An earth-shattering loud noise suddenly came. Almost at the same time, stone debris flew from the wall on the right side of the city gate tower, and the ground shook. Sergeant Yanyun who was standing on the wall suddenly became unsteady and staggered around. Several of them staggered. He was so shaken that he fell off the city wall, but fortunately there were not many Yanyun troops on the city wall here, so the loss was not big.
The Khitan army's artillery fire came down in one round, and a lot of the city wall was peeled off. Then the second round of concentrated fire came, and the wall bricks kept falling, and there were fine lines on the wall. expand. At the same time, the Khitan army that was attacking the city wall had already rushed to the moat, and immediately covered it with shields, and at the same time began to fill the moat with soil. Strong arrows rained down from time to time on the city wall. Although the Khitan army prepared a large number of shields, they still People kept being shot down by the moat, and some even rolled into the river. In just a moment, many corpses were piled up beside the moat, and many corpses were floating in the moat. The Khitan people's river filling work was greatly affected. The degree of restriction has never stopped.
At this moment, the Khitan people's arrow tower was slowly approaching the city wall. From a high position, they fired arrows at the city wall. Many Yanyun soldiers fell to the ground. Yan Yun's powerful crossbow immediately turned to attack the enemy's archery tower. However, the powerful rain of arrows flew past, and most of them hit the baffle of the archery tower, without causing much damage to the Khitan soldiers on it. Another wave of arrows flew down from the archery tower, and many Sergeants Yanyun were hit by arrows and fell down.
Li Xu shouted: "All three crossbows, aim at the enemy's archery tower!"
The three-bow crossbows adjusted their firing angles one after another. In the process, the Khitan army crossbowmen on the archery tower fired arrows at the city wall non-stop. The three-bow crossbows aimed at the archery tower and fired one after another. The huge spears and arrows screamed and flew towards the Khitan army's archery tower! There was a loud buzzing sound, and many arrows were nailed to the arrow tower. The Khitan soldiers on the arrow tower only felt a vibration under their feet. They all looked down and saw that there were gunpowder packets tied to the arrows and fuses. It was burning with a roar, and everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they screamed in shock. At this moment, the fire flashed, and the violent explosions instantly deafened the ears; clouds of flames bloomed in the air, and the arrow towers were blown to pieces and collapsed. The Khitan soldiers on the arrow towers were like raindrops falling from the sky. It fell, and there were screams and screams.
…
The fierce siege battle lasted for a whole day before it ended. The Khitan army spent a day filling up three moats, and at the same time used heavy artillery fire to shake a wall to the point of collapse.
Ye Qi Hucheng sat in the big tent and looked at the map with a thoughtful look on his face. At this moment, a huge killing sound suddenly came from outside. Ye Qian Hucheng raised his head, frowned, and immediately stood up and left the tent. Looking in the direction from which the killing sound came, I could see blazing figures and figures in the direction of the back camp where food and grass were being stored, as if countless people were fighting. Ye Qian Hucheng smiled slightly, looking like he had everything under control.
Immediately, a general rode his horse forward, reined in the horse, stood up and reported: "Reporting to your Majesty, the enemy has indeed come to attack the camp. It has been surrounded by our army and is now annihilating the enemy!" He nodded and said: "Very good! How many enemies have come?" The general said: "About two thousand people." Ye Qi Hucheng frowned and said angrily: "Just two thousand people want to attack the camp. ? This is just looking for death! Yang Peng too underestimated me, the protector of the Liao Kingdom!" Then he said to the general: "Tell Long Ba, we must wipe out this enemy!" The general promised. , got on the horse, turned the horse's head, and galloped away.
Ye Qian Hucheng smiled coldly and said angrily: "Yang Peng, you are too arrogant!" Then he fled towards the back camp. There was still a sight of silhouettes and gleaming fire, and fierce sounds of fighting continued to be heard.
Yeqi Hucheng suddenly felt that the ground beneath his feet seemed to be shaking, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Then the vibration became more obvious, and the roar of rolling thunder could be heard in his ears. Yeqi Hucheng suddenly reacted and turned around to look at the gate. He suddenly saw countless huge warriors in black clothes and black armor pouring out of the darkness outside the camp gate with murderous intent. He couldn't help being frightened and couldn't help shouting; " Xuanjia Army!" Xuanjia Army, the most elite force in Yanyun, two thousand Xuanjia Army arrived in Yanjing shortly after Yang Peng arrived in Yanjing. It had not been used before, in order to achieve surprise at the most critical moment. Effect.
The Xuanjia Army warriors who rushed at the front were holding several logs with sharpened heads, and were suddenly thrown towards the closed camp gate by the high-speed speed of the horses. I saw several logs hitting the camp gate one after another, and the tightly closed camp gate suddenly opened. Then two thousand black-armored warriors, led by Chen Xiao and Yang Zaixing, rushed into the camp gate and headed straight for the handsome tent in Yeqi Tiger City. Run away to kill. The Khitan Army soldiers reacted and hurriedly came to resist. However, once the Xuanjia Army charged, they were unstoppable. The Khitan Army infantry fell like wheat being harvested in front of the Xuanjia War Cavalry, with blood and flesh flying everywhere in the direction of the soldiers. , the Xuanjia war cavalry passed through the Khitan army soldiers in one go, and rushed to the front of the big tent.
Yang Peng rushed to Yeqihu City first, stabbing Yeqihu City in the chest like a poisonous dragon with his hand. Ye Qian Hucheng shouted, waved his mace to fend off the attacking Ma Shange, and then shouted back and hit Yang Peng sideways to avoid it.
At this moment, hundreds of soldiers from Yeqihu City rushed up. Yang Peng picked and killed several soldiers one after another. Yeqihu City rushed up on horseback and hit Yang Peng with a stick on the head. Yang Peng raised his weapon. The iron horse spear and the mace hit the iron spear shaft heavily, with a loud bang that made Yang Peng tremble. The force was really not small. Yang Peng's eyes showed excitement. He pushed away the opponent's mace with luck, then moved his hands with both hands, and picked it up from the bottom towards Yeqi Hucheng. Yeqi Hucheng swung the stick away, and so on. After fighting for several rounds, the two sides still couldn't decide the outcome.
At the same time, the Xuanjia Army had killed the soldiers of Yeqi Hucheng until their corpses were covered with blood and they retreated repeatedly. These soldiers of Yeqi Hucheng were also ruthless characters who were not afraid of death and were in such a disadvantageous situation. , actually did not escape and were still fighting desperately. However, after all, their combat power was far inferior to that of the Xuanjia Army. Under the ruthless killing of the Xuanjia Army, they fell into a pool of blood one after another.
On the other side, Yang Peng and Yeqi Hucheng have been fighting for more than thirty rounds. Yang Peng is a little impatient and eager for success, but Yeqi Hucheng is getting more and more courageous as they fight. The battle between the two is very fierce and it is difficult to solve the problem. Points, sticks come and go, extremely dangerous.
At this time, the surrounding Khitan army officers and soldiers had discovered the critical situation of the coach and were rushing here quickly. There was the light of torches in all directions, and the figures under the fire were endless and longing.
Yang Peng made several fierce attacks one after another. In desperation, he only attacked but did not defend. Each and every move was a life-threatening attack. However, although Yeli Hucheng was attacked in a panic and was surrounded by dangers, he was able to resist them all without any danger. Living. Yang Peng suddenly turned his horse's head and ran towards the camp gate. At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Retreat!" The two thousand Xuanjia troops immediately broke away from the battle and ran toward the camp gate.
Seeing their own troops arriving one after another, Yeqian Hucheng changed its offensive and defensive positions. How could it be willing to let Yang Peng, the King of Yan, go like this? He immediately shouted: "Don't let Yang Peng run away, chase me!" Shouting, he chased Yang Peng first, followed by all the soldiers, and the surrounding soldiers also chased after him.
Yang Peng was about to run out of the camp gate. Yeli Hucheng was very anxious and subconsciously urged his horses. What he thought was that as long as he entangled Yang Peng, thousands of troops and horses would surround him, and Yang Peng would It’s impossible to escape with wings!
At this moment, he suddenly saw Yang Pengle turn to his war horse. The horse neighed and stood up. Almost at the same time, he saw Yang Peng bending his bow and aiming an arrow at him. Yeqi Hucheng suddenly thought of Yang Peng's terrible archery skills. He was frightened and hurriedly reined in his horse. The horse neighed and he stood up. At this moment, he heard a very sharp sound piercing the air. Yeli Hucheng's heart trembled, and then he felt a stinging pain in his left chest. He couldn't help but groaned, and all the strength in his body disappeared instantly. The huge With the mace in his body, he fell off the horse on his back.
The surrounding Khitan army officers were shocked, some of them shouted and ran towards Yelihu City, and more of them howled and rushed towards Yang Peng and the others. Yang Peng was overjoyed when he saw that Ye Qianhu was hit by an arrow and fell down. He also saw the enemy troops coming up like a tide. He knew that if he didn't leave, he would not be able to escape. He immediately turned his horse's head and led the Xuanjia army out of the camp gate. Walk away.
Seeing that they could not catch up, the Khitan army stopped chasing. At this time, the camp was in chaos, and the generals and soldiers of the Khitan army were scrambling to save Yeqihu City.
Yang Peng led Yan Yun's army and rushed into the city gate. Ye Qi Guanyin and Li Xu came to greet him immediately. They both looked relieved. Ye Qi Guanyin said angrily: "As a commander, you actually went to attack the camp. Too bad." What a mess!" Yang Peng chuckled and said, "Brother is wrong." Yedi Guanyin rolled her eyes at Yang Peng and said, "I said it wrong today, and you will do it again next time!" Yang Peng smiled. , turned over and dismounted, and ordered the Xuanjia army to go down to rest. At this time, Wang Kai came up and took Yang Peng's black dragon colt down.
Yang Peng, Ye Qi Guanyin and Li Xu walked side by side up the city wall and looked outside the city. They saw the fire in the Khitan army camp in the distance, as if it were daytime, and the faint sound of chaotic shouts. Yang Peng frowned slightly and said, "I wonder if this arrow killed him?" With the power of the Cloud-Piercing Bow, if it hit the chest at such a distance, generally no one would be able to escape it, but the situation at that time was a bit unusual. Similarly, the powerful arrow shot by the Chuanyun Bow first penetrated the belly of the war horse and then entered the chest of Yeqi Hucheng. As a general of the Liao Kingdom, Yeqi Hucheng wore heavy armor with excellent defensive capabilities. After the arrow shot through the war horse, its power has been greatly weakened. It is really difficult to say whether it can cause fatal damage to the heavily armored Yeqi Tiger City!
After hearing Yang Peng's words, Li Xu couldn't help but feel happy and asked hurriedly: "Brother, are you talking about Yeqihu City?" Yang Peng nodded, looked at the Khitan military camp and said, "I shot him with an arrow. He was hit in the chest, but I don't know if he was killed!" Li Xu said excitedly: "Brother's cloud-piercing bow is extremely powerful, it must have killed him! Great, once the enemy chieftain is gone, the enemy will be leaderless, and there will be chaos. It will be difficult to form an effective offensive within a short period of time!" Ye Qi Guanyin looked at the Khitan army camp in the distance, frowning, and his eyes showed concern and sadness.
When Yang Peng saw the look on Ye Qi Guanyin's face, he didn't know what to say. He just felt helpless about this matter. Suddenly I remembered something and asked, "Have Ma Jin and the others come back?"
Ye Qi Guanyin shook her head and said, "Not yet." Yang Peng frowned and said, "No, I'm going to pick them up!" Then he turned around and prepared to leave. Ye Qi Guanyin grabbed Yang Peng and pointed to the outside of the city: "Look, it should be them!"
Yang Peng turned around and looked outside the city, and saw dozens of horses galloping towards them. As they got closer, he could see clearly that it was indeed Ma Jin and the others. Yang Peng couldn't help but feel happy, then frowned.
The city gate opened, and Ma Jin and others ran into the city gate. Then Ma Jin and others ran up the city wall to Yang Peng and worshiped, "I have met King Yan, and I have met the princess!"
Seeing that Ma Jin and others were covered in blood and bruises, Yang Peng couldn't help but sigh, stepped forward to help Ma Jin up, and said to the others: "Everyone, get up." Everyone stood up. Yang Peng looked at Ma Jin with a resolute expression, patted Ma Jin's shoulder heavily and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" Ma Jin shook his head and said, "It's nothing to do with the last general, but it's a pity for those two thousand soldiers!" Yang Peng He turned around and looked at the Khitan army camp outside the city, and said: "Without their sacrifice, our two thousand mysterious warriors would not have been able to break into the main camp of the Khitan army! Their sacrifices were not in vain!" Everyone nodded.
Earlier today, Yang Peng, Ye Qi Guanyin and others discussed strategies to defeat the enemy. Li Xu proposed to attack the camp at night. He believed that the enemy's strong troops would inevitably think that their own side would not dare to fight, and a sudden attack on the camp would surely catch them off guard. Ma Jin, Zhan Jinguo and others agreed, but Yeqi Guanyin said: "The eldest brother Yeqi Hucheng is a veteran on the battlefield. Although he is a bit reckless, he is very experienced and his strategies are not simple. It is impossible not to be prepared for our sneak attacks. , I will definitely be on guard!" As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. However, in the face of the current extremely unfavorable situation, sitting back and waiting for death is obviously not the way to stick to it. As the saying goes, "If you defend for a long time, you will lose." You must use surprise troops to win. , so after careful consideration, Yang Peng decided to attack the enemy camp at night, but he slightly modified the plan. The two thousand elite infantry of the Second Army led by Ma Jin attacked the enemy's rear camp where they were storing food, grass and baggage. .
At the same time, Yang Peng personally commanded the Xuanjia Army to ambush outside the main camp. The two thousand elite infantry troops attacked first. If the enemy was unprepared and burned their food, grass and baggage in one fell swoop, the Khitan army would not be able to retreat if they did not want to. On the contrary, if the enemy is prepared, the two thousand infantry will certainly be trapped in a tight encirclement, but the enemy's attention will inevitably be attracted, and then Yang Peng will have the opportunity to break the camp in one fell swoop! As expected, the development of the matter was like this. Although the two thousand infantrymen who raided the rear camp were ambushed, they attracted the enemy's attention, creating favorable conditions for Yang Peng to lead the Xuanjia Army to break the camp in one fell swoop. Breaking into the camp, the iron hooves swept across, unstoppable, and the life and death of the arrow in Yeqihu City was unknown. This round of raid was extremely beautiful! However, the current question is, is Yeli Hucheng dead? …
People in all the Khitan army camps were in panic. There were rumors that Yeli Hucheng had been seriously injured and killed, and the commander was dead. Naturally, everyone was at a loss.
The main generals came to the big tent one after another. Long Ba, who had just wiped out the Yan Yun army that attacked the rear camp, also hurried to the big tent, looking anxious and confused. When I opened the curtain, I didn't see the imaginary mourning hall or the corpse of Yeqi Hucheng lying in the middle. Instead, I saw Yeqi Hucheng sitting on the marching collapse, drinking medicine, while the generals and an old medical officer were Standing next to the bed. Long Ba was greatly surprised, and then he was overjoyed. He walked forward quickly and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you, you didn't...! General, I thought..." Then he said angrily: "Which bastard is spreading rumors? General is going to kill you..." He captured and cut his body into thousands of pieces!"
After Ye Qian Hucheng drank it, he handed the medicine bowl to the old medical officer. The old medical officer took the empty bowl, bowed and warned: "Although the king is not in danger of his life, he is still seriously injured. He must take good care of himself." Recuperate and don't act rashly!" Ye Qi Hucheng said impatiently: "You are so verbose! I have said this more than once!" The old medical officer said: "No matter how unhappy the king is, the slave must keep reminding him! If the king is His body has three long and two shortcomings, and this little man can't bear it!" Ye Qi Hucheng said: "Okay, okay, I understand everything you said, go down." The old medical officer saluted Ye Qi Hucheng again. , retreated.
Yeqi Hucheng glanced at Long Ba and smiled happily: "If this king were not born different from ordinary people, I would be dead now!" It turns out that Yeqi Hucheng's heart is in a different position from that of ordinary people. He leaned to the left, but he leaned to the right. Therefore, although Yang Peng's arrow hit the left side of his heart, it did not hurt his heart. However, even so, the arrow in Yeqi Hucheng's chest was very badly injured. Gentle, fainting on the spot last night was definitely not a pretense. Although there is no danger of life in Yeqi Hucheng, it is impossible to recover in a short time, let alone mount a horse to fight.
The generals all felt very lucky after hearing what Ye Qian Hucheng said. They couldn't help but think that if the king's heart was on the left side like ordinary people, the consequences would be disastrous. This is really God's will.
Yeqianhu City said with lingering fear: "The King of Yan is unparalleled in bravery, I am no match for him!" The generals recalled the scene last night when Yang Peng and Zhan Jinguo led the Xuanjia Army to break the camp and enter the invincible, and they could not help but feel fearful.
Ye Qi Hucheng looked at Long Ba and asked: "Have you captured any prisoners?" Long Ba said angrily: "The Yan Yun army was stubborn. Although they were in desperate situations, they did not surrender and committed suicide!" Ye Qi Hu Cheng said Cheng frowned and asked, "In other words, no prisoners were captured?" Long Ba nodded shamefully. Yeqi Hucheng lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said to the generals: "Do you know why I deliberately spread the news that I am dead?" The generals were greatly surprised and looked at each other. They didn't know until now that there was an uproar in the camps. The news about King Gao's death was actually spread intentionally by King Gao.
Long Ba asked puzzledly: "Why would your Majesty spread such unlucky words?" His question was also the question of all the generals, and they all looked towards Yeqi Tiger City.
Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and said: "Yang Peng is extremely brave and cunning as a fox. If we don't use some means, even if we break through Yanjing City, our army will suffer heavy losses. What happened yesterday, I can just give Yang Peng a way to fake his death." Plan." When the generals heard this, they all understood, and they couldn't help but sincerely admire Ye Qi Hucheng.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
