A general named Zheng Shilong praised: "The king's strategy is so brilliant! In this way, the enemy must have thought they had an opportunity and moved out in full force. At that time, the king had laid a dragnet, waiting for them to fall into the trap before attacking from all sides. , wiped them out in one fell swoop! After annihilating the main force of Yan Yun, everything will be easier to handle! This strategy is so clever, so clever, even the legendary Zhuge Kongming couldn't come up with such a clever strategy!" Then! He paid his respects to Yeqianhu City and said with great admiration: "Your Majesty is unparalleled in resourcefulness and Yanjing is about to fall, so Yang Peng will surely capture him without any help!"
All the generals glanced at Zheng Shilong and secretly scolded him for being shameless, but on their faces they had to agree with his words. Yeqi Hucheng was very happy. Although he did not think these words were true, he felt that these words were very auspicious and good luck. He glanced at the generals and said: "You are going to start handling my funeral, and you are going to do it as if it were true. You have to keep it secret from everyone except you. In addition, you have to ambush on all sides and wait. Yan Yun has thrown himself into a trap!" All the generals agreed in unison. …
The scouts discovered a funeral being held in the Khitan military camp and immediately reported the situation to Yang Peng and others. Li Xu said excitedly: "This is a great opportunity! The enemy's commander is dead and the army is leaderless. The army must be confused and overwhelmed!" He clasped his fists towards Yang Peng and said excitedly: "Our army will come out in full force and we will defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Generals such as Ma Jin and Zhan Jinguo all agreed that it was a good time to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Yang Peng did not express his position immediately. He looked at Ye Guanyin and saw tears in Ye Guanyin's eyes, looking extremely sad. Yang Peng sighed in his heart and stopped asking her questions. He turned to Yang Jiumei and asked, "Master Yang, what do you think?" In front of outsiders, Yang Peng called Yang Jiumei Master Yang, while Yang Jiumei called As Yang Peng is the king of Yan, he will naturally not be like this in private.
Yang Jiumei said: "If Yeqi Hucheng is really dead, it will naturally be a great opportunity to defeat the enemy! However, judging from the performance of Yeqi Hucheng last night, Yeqi Hucheng is definitely not a fool. He is a very resourceful person. I am worried that this could be a trap carefully laid by Yeli Hucheng?" Everyone's hearts trembled, and Zhan Jinguo said: "It shouldn't be possible! I saw clearly last night that the eldest brother was wearing The sharp arrow shot by the cloud bow hit the heart of Yeqi Hucheng. Yeqi Hucheng fell from his horse on the spot, and the scene was a mess! Although we were not able to check the body of Yeqi Hucheng, the power of the cloud-piercing bow is so close. Not to mention people, not even a big buffalo can survive the distance!"
Yeqi Hanyu looked at Yang Peng, and Yang Peng thought: "Under normal circumstances, under that arrow, Yeqi Hucheng should not survive." The implication is that he naturally believes that Yeqi Hucheng is real. died.
Li Xu said: "Brother, since we have concluded that Yeqi Hucheng is dead, we should attack immediately. Otherwise, if the Khitans elect a temporary commander to stabilize the morale of the army, we will miss a good opportunity!" All the generals agreed. Yang Peng nodded in agreement and glanced at the generals, "Generals, listen to the order and prepare to attack tonight!" The generals agreed in unison, and then hurriedly left the hall to prepare.
Ye Qi Guanyin said: "Brother, I'm a little uncomfortable." Then he turned around and left the hall from behind the screen behind Yang Peng.
Yang Peng knew that she was sad for Yeli Hucheng, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Yang Jiumei sighed: "It is really commendable that Princess Yelu can kill her relatives with justice!" Yang Peng sighed and said, "I feel sorry for her in this matter!" He shook his head, "Let's not talk about this anymore!" He glanced at Yang Jiumei and smiled. He asked, "What's the matter with Jiumei staying here?" Yang Jiumei's pretty face was flushed, and she seemed to be smiling but not smiling. She was full of affection. When Yang Peng saw her like this, his heart couldn't help but tremble.
Yang Jiumei suddenly looked serious and said, "Have you really thought about the attack?"
Yang Peng nodded, stood up, walked to His Highness, looked at the sky outside the palace, and said: "I have thought about it carefully from beginning to end. In that situation, no one can survive. Yelihu City should have been destroyed." There should be no doubt that he is dead." He turned to look at Yang Jiumei and said, "Now is a great time to seize the opportunity to counterattack and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" Yang Jiumei frowned and said, "You are right." He looked up at Yang Peng. , said, "But, I always feel a little uneasy, wondering if this is a trap deliberately set by Yeli Hucheng!"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "He is a human being, not a ghost, and certainly not a god. He can't come and set a trap for me after he dies!" Yang Jiumei couldn't help but smile when she heard what Yang Peng said was interesting. , and then showed a look of worry, she could never let go of this matter. Yang Peng walked up to Yang Jiumei, held Yang Jiumei's delicate hand, smiled and said softly: "You are worried about me, that's why you are so uneasy!"
Yang Jiumei thought that this might be the reason. She sighed resentfully and glanced at Yang Peng. Yang Peng's heart skipped a beat and he said softly: "Jiu Mei, why don't you come and live in the palace? We will never be separated!"
Yang Jiumei looked at Yang Peng affectionately, but gently pushed him away, turned sideways, and said quietly: "I don't want to be the canary locked in a cage by you!..." She turned around and looked at him affectionately. Looking at Yang Peng, she couldn't help but stretched out her slender hand to touch Yang Peng's cheek, and said tenderly: "I don't ask for anything else, I just want to be able to see you often and I will be satisfied!" After all, Yang Jiumei is not one of those young people who are new to love. For a girl, she doesn’t ask for eternity, as long as she once had it.
Yang Peng took Yang Jiumei's delicate hand, put it to his mouth, kissed her, and then held her in his arms. Yang Jiumei lay in Yang Peng's arms, with a look of extreme happiness in her beautiful eyes. Suddenly thinking of what was happening in front of him, the tenderness in his heart quickly faded. He quickly raised his head and said, "King Yan, I think you still have to think carefully about the attack! That Zhuge Wuhou was cautious. Such great achievements have been achieved!”
Yang Peng nodded with a smile and said: "Zhuge has always been cautious in his life! In fact, Zhuge Liang is more suitable for internal affairs than conquests. Although he is an unparalleled talent, he was too cautious in conquests and made several mistakes. This is a good opportunity to defeat Cao Wei and Zhongxing Han! You must know that nothing is certain on the battlefield. If you have to wait until you are absolutely sure before taking action, I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold! It can be seen that being too cautious is not the same!" Yang Jiumei sighed, He rolled his eyes at Yang Peng and said angrily: "I can't convince you anyway!"
Yang Peng smiled slightly and said softly: "Don't worry. Although we can't say that we will win this battle, it is still a sure thing. There will be no surprises!" Yang Jiumei nodded and said: "I hope so!" Yang Peng said : "When this battle is over, I will take you to the seaside for a few days. Do you agree?" Yang Jiumei said happily: "This is what you said, don't default on it then!" Yang Peng said with a smile: " How dare I keep my word in front of my sister!" Yang Jiumei said charmingly: "If you don't keep your word, my sister can't forgive you!" The two of them laughed at the same time.
Yang Peng suddenly thought of Yeqi Guanyin. She must be sad about the death of Yeqi Hucheng now. Thinking of this, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel sad, and said to Yang Jiumei: "Jiumei, I'm going to see Guanyin." Yang Jiumei nodded and said: "I will go back to the government office to prepare for your attack. You must be prepared in all aspects." Good!" Yang Peng said: "Thank you, Jiumei!" Yang Jiumei rolled her eyes at Yang Peng and said angrily: "To be so polite to my sister is really asking for a beating!" After saying that, he gave a false punch with his fist, and both of them couldn't help but laugh. stand up. Yang Jiumei turned around. Yang Peng turned around the screen and left the hall from the back. He learned the location of Ye Qi Guanyin from the Fei Feng female guard and walked quickly. …
As night fell, 200,000 Khitan troops spread quietly around the camp, forming a huge pocket, waiting for the appearance of Yan Yun's army. At the same time, in the Khitan army camp, there was a scene of fluttering white curtains.
Long Ba led 50,000 soldiers and horses to hide in the area closest to the city gate. His mission was to cut off the enemy's retreat in one fell swoop when the enemy came out. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the city gate in the distance, but there was no movement. One of the generals couldn't help but become anxious and whispered: "General, did the enemy notice something and won't come out?" Long Ba was also very anxious. After hearing the general's words, he shouted angrily: "Shut up, time." It’s still early, why are you in a hurry!”
About two-quarters of an hour later, footsteps suddenly came from the distance in the direction of the city gate. Long Ba and others, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately became energetic. Then they saw the city gate open and many people rushing out of the city gate. None of them had lit a torch, so they couldn't see clearly. Under the dim light of the stars and moon, , only human figures were seen, as if there were countless people and horses.
Long Ba and others became excited, and one of the generals couldn't help shouting in a low voice; "Here we come!" Long Ba immediately ordered in a low voice: "Send the order and prepare to fight!" All the generals agreed one after another and whispered the words. Long Ba turned to look in the direction of the camp, waiting for the signal to appear. According to Wanyan Gao's previous arrangement, once the Yanyun Army attacked the main camp, the main camp would hang three red lanterns, which was the signal for a full-scale attack. All ambushing troops must attack immediately upon seeing the signal and encircle Yan Yun's army according to the previous deployment. If no signal is seen, no one must act rashly under any circumstances, otherwise military law will be dealt with.
The soldiers of Long Ba's group, as well as the Khitan army soldiers who were ambushing elsewhere, were all looking at the military camp, waiting anxiously, and the time passed by with difficulty.
Suddenly, there was a huge shout from the military camp, accompanied by loud noises and flames shooting into the sky. The Yanyun Army finally launched an attack! Almost at the same time, three red lanterns rose up in the main camp, which stood out in the night sky!
As soon as the Liao army ambushing in all directions saw the signal, they immediately rushed out according to the predetermined plan, either besieging the enemy or cutting off their retreat. All the armies rushed to the camp, but there was nothing in front of them, not to mention Yanyun's army, not even a shadow of a ghost. The Khitan army officers and soldiers looked at each other and were at a loss for a moment. At this moment, a Khitan army general led tens of thousands of troops and horses and rushed out of the camp gate. He only saw his own troops and horses, but no enemy troops. He was also stunned. Long Ba asked angrily: "Barun, where is Yan Yunjun?"
Barron said with a puzzled look on his face: "Just now, you were attacking the camp gate just now! Why, why did you suddenly disappear?"
At this moment, fierce fighting sounds suddenly came from the northwest corner of the city. The generals were startled. Barron asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why is there a fighting over there?" Long Ba thought for a while and said loudly: "The situation has changed, let's go take a look together!" All the generals agreed in unison. Immediately, the generals led their armies and rushed towards the corner of the city where the killing sounds came from. At this time, each army lit torches, and the light of the torches illuminated the night sky like daylight.
Before they reached the place, the sound of fighting gradually fell silent. When each army arrived at the place, they saw one of their own armies scattered in chaos in the wilderness. They all looked shocked. Many corpses were lying on the ground, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Long Ba saw the leader of this army, Zheng Shilong, and asked, "What's going on?"
Zheng Shilong looked shocked, swallowed his saliva, and said: "Just now, I saw the signal in the camp, so I led my army to besiege according to the previous arrangement, but I didn't want to, but I didn't want to suddenly encounter Yanyun's army. They are coming to kill us! Our army was caught off guard, and they rushed into chaos in an instant, and then the Yanyun army rushed towards the west gate!" The generals looked at each other, and they couldn't understand what was going on? Didn't Yan Yun's army come to attack the camp? Why did they suddenly turn around and rush back to the city through the west gate? Could it be that one of the troops leaked Xingzang in advance, and Yan Yunjun realized that the situation was not good, so he temporarily changed his plan and suddenly turned back to the city? But even so, they shouldn't have time to retreat. What's more, hundreds of thousands of troops didn't see half of the enemy army before they rushed to the camp. What's going on?
The generals couldn't figure it out, but at this time the plan was ruined, and it was useless to think about it anymore, so they could only retreat temporarily. Long Ba raised his voice and said, "Let's go back first and then talk!"
The generals nodded, and each Khitan army withdrew to the camp. The generals quickly came to the big tent. At this time, Yeqi Hucheng was lying on the marching collapse and watching the progress of the war. He heard the sound of killing coming from afar for a while and then disappeared. After that, although there was a commotion and chaos outside, The sound kept coming, but there was never the expected sound of a battle. I couldn't help but be surprised. Now I saw the generals coming in, and asked anxiously: "What's going on? Why didn't I hear the sound of a battle?"
The generals looked at each other, and Long Ba briefly explained what had just happened. Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and murmured: "What's going on? Is this what's going on?" After thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out the reason.
At the same time, Yang Peng, who returned to the city, felt extremely lucky and said to Yang Jiumei: "Thanks to your reminder, otherwise our army would have suffered huge losses this time!" It turned out that although Yang Peng insisted on going out in full force, They raided the enemy camp, but because of Yang Jiumei's reminder, they had an extra thought. Yang Peng ordered the Xuanjia War Cavalry to be the vanguard, and he himself led the main force to follow up. When the Xuanjia War Cavalry arrived at the enemy camp, he deliberately created a great momentum to alert the enemy. The reason why Yang Peng ordered the Xuanjia War Cavalry to do this was because he felt that if the enemy was not prepared, alerting the enemy at this moment would not have much adverse impact on the attack. If the enemy was prepared, the enemy would be likely to be alerted in this way. Xing Zang was exposed in the ninth meeting. Yang Peng and others originally thought that the enemy army could not have any ambush, but they did not expect that with the Xuan Jia Army making a noise, three red lanterns actually rose up in the enemy camp, and they killed people from all directions at the same time. There was a sudden sound, and this was obviously an ambush situation.
Yang Peng was so shocked that he immediately led his army to turn around, broke through the enemy's encirclement from the northwest, and retreated into the city. Because the main force of Yanyun led by Yang Peng was still quite far away from the Liao camp at this time, and was not in the tightest encirclement of the Khitan army, and because the Khitan army did not expect that the Yanyun army would suddenly turn around and break through at this time, they were The Yanyun Army was caught off guard, so the main force of the Yanyun Army was able to successfully break through the enemy's siege and retreat into the city. The Xuanjia army in front of them, who were luring the enemy, relied on their speed advantage to rush out from the gap between the enemy troops before they could encircle them. These Xuanjia warriors were as fast as lightning, and none of the Khitan army units even noticed them. How did they withdraw.
Yang Jiumei said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, you have been more vigilant, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"
Yang Peng nodded, glanced at Ye Qi Guanyin, and saw the joyful look in the eyes of the originally sad Ye Qi Guanyin, and couldn't help but feel happy for her. Yeqi Guanyin originally thought that his eldest brother Yeqi Hucheng was dead, and felt very sad. Now when he saw that the Khitan army had set up a large formation to ambush from all sides, he knew that his eldest brother was fine. He was using the trick of cheating death to lure him The eldest brother is on the hook and Yeqihu City is not dead, so Yeqi Guanyin is naturally overjoyed.
Yang Peng and others climbed up the city wall and looked out of the city. The Khitan military camp in the distance was brightly lit, with longing figures under the lights, and noisy sounds kept coming.
Yang Peng glanced at Ye Qi Guanyin and said, "Guanyin, your big brother is really not simple. I almost fell into his hands!"
Ye Qi Guanyin smiled and said: "Eldest brother is naturally powerful, but after all, he is still a little inferior to his elder brother." Yang Peng laughed, looked at the Khitan army camp outside the city, and said: "This move of the Khitan army is useless. Tomorrow We will definitely attack the city with all our strength! The real fierce battle is about to begin!" Everyone's mood couldn't help but become solemn. The generals were not afraid of death, but they were afraid that even if they died, they would not be able to defend the city. The current situation was extremely dangerous, with three enemy troops One hundred thousand people besieged Yanjing, and there were a large number of catapults and cannons. Under such circumstances, it was hard to say how long Yanjing could defend it.
Yang Peng saw the expressions of the generals and knew what they were thinking, and said calmly: "Don't think about whether you can hold it or not, just do your best! Together with you, I will do my best to defend Yanjing!" The generals listened. After hearing these words, I felt that the huge pressure on my heart was instantly relieved a lot, and my confidence in guarding Yanjing could not help but increase a bit.
Yang Peng turned his head and glanced at the Khitan army camp, and said with a relaxed expression: "It's getting late. Those who don't have missions should go down and rest. Those who have missions should be careful." All the generals agreed in unison.
In the Khitan army's tent, Ye Qihu Cheng said with a ruthless face: "Damn it, I won't play these bullshit tricks with you anymore. I will start an all-out attack tomorrow! I don't believe it. There are 300,000 troops and more than 100 seats." The artillery will not be able to attack!" The generals couldn't help but get excited, and Long Ba said loudly: "With our army's full strength to attack the city, we will definitely break through Yanjing City within five days!" The generals agreed one after another. Long Ba's words are not an exaggeration. Based on the current strength comparison between the two sides, although the Yanyun Army is strong, no matter how strong it is, it can only be defeated by one against two. However, the strength of the Khitan Army is five times that of the Yanyun Army. ah! In fact, in a battle like this, unless the Khitan army made a major mistake, it would be difficult to lose.
Ye Qianhu City said to the generals: "Immediately inform the entire army that I am fine. Everyone should be prepared to attack Yanjing City tomorrow!" All the generals agreed in unison.
At this moment, a well-worn herald rushed into the tent, knelt down to Yeqihu City and said: "Your Majesty, our army's cavalry offensive is going smoothly. In addition to Luanzhou, Yinzhou, The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun outside Bazhou." Luanzhou and Yinzhou are to the east of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. The main forces of the Second and Third Army were originally stationed in these two places, while Bazhou is the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. The southernmost passage is the only way to enter the Hebei region. If Bazhou is also attacked by the Khitan army, the Khitan army's cavalry can rush south and drive straight in.
Yeqianhu City was not surprised at all by the results achieved by the cavalry. There was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, so such results could be said to be expected. Yeqian Hucheng thought for a moment, raised his head and looked at the herald, and asked: "Didn't you encounter Yanyun's third legion?" The herald said: "Our cavalry has never encountered any decent resistance from the enemy. The three legions are still missing.”
Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and murmured: "Missing? The situation in Yanjing is extremely critical now. If the Third Army did not come for reinforcements, where would they be?" With a thought in his heart, he immediately said to Long Ba: "Send all the troops. Scouts, closely monitor the situation within twenty miles of Yanjing. If there is any situation, report immediately!" After hearing this, the generals were all shocked. Long Ba clasped his fists and promised, and hurried down.
Yeqi Hucheng looked at the dancing lights and sneered: "It's not that easy to sneak attack our army!"
Early the next morning, in the early morning mist, the horns of the Khitan people sounded loudly, and a huge military formation composed of hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops slowly approached Yanjing City. The formation was like a mountain, and the spears were like a forest. , murderous intent surged into the sky, the rumbling footsteps were like rolling thunder, and looking around, there was a cold light, like sparkling waves!
The Khitan army approached and stopped three hundred steps away from Yanjing City. The thunderous sound quickly disappeared, and there was silence between heaven and earth. The horns suddenly sounded loudly, and the amazing catapults and cannons fired together. At the same time, tens of thousands The attacking troops pushed various siege equipment and began to attack the city wall. Since the Khitan people had filled in three moats the day before, the Khitan army's attacking force divided into three groups and rushed directly to the city wall from the filled areas and began to attack the city wall.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
