Yang Peng led the Zhanjin and Xuanjia troops to arrive outside the military camp at the foot of the mountain. The lookout soldiers at the camp saw it and thought it was their own cavalry, but didn't pay much attention. Yang Peng and others came to the camp gate and were greeted by the captain of the camp gate. Seeing the cavalry in front of me, all the horses were huge and majestic, and the knights were extremely sturdy, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart, and thought to myself: 'Whose subordinate is this? It's so majestic and powerful? ! It seems that the Protector King’s personal guard, Tiefutu, is far behind! 'These thoughts only flashed through my mind, and I hurriedly stepped forward to pay my respects: "Who is the general and why are you here?"
Yang Peng glanced at the military camp and saw that the military camp was bustling with people, smoke was curling up from cooking stoves, and Khitan army officers and soldiers were gathering in twos and threes to eat. Looking up towards the mountain, there are also countless smoke rising from the kitchen. Due to the lush forests on the mountain, no one can be seen, but it can be guessed that there must be countless Jin Army soldiers dining in the mountain forest.
Seeing that the other party ignored him, the captain of the city gate couldn't help but feel angry, and said to himself: "Even if you have a great background, you are too arrogant!" 'Although I thought so in my heart, I didn't dare to show it. I called softly: "General?"
Yang Peng withdrew his gaze. Suddenly he pulled out his horizontal sword and chopped off the captain's head with one blow. The Xuanjia soldiers immediately fired arrows at the Khitan soldiers inside and outside the camp gate and on the guard tower. Dozens of Khitan soldiers were shot down before they could react. ! Immediately, more than a dozen Yanyun troops rushed forward, moved their horses away, and opened the camp gate. Yang Peng and Zhan Jinguo led two thousand Xuanjia troops into the military camp!
The Khitan soldiers who were eating suddenly heard the loud sound of horse hooves and the loud sound of killing. They were frightened. Then they saw countless sturdy warriors rushing towards them, killing everyone on sight! The Khitan soldiers were caught off guard and suddenly saw such a scene. They were so frightened that they threw away their food and ran away. Those who had not fled originally saw their comrades running for their lives, so they started running for their lives. The scene of fleeing quickly spread in the military camp. It spread and was beyond control. Everyone was panic-stricken and ignored everything. Many people fell to the ground and did not die in the hands of Yanyun Army, but were trampled to death by their own people; Xuanjia Army was in the military camp. They were running around killing each other and setting fires everywhere. In an instant, the entire military camp was filled with smoke and fire. Corpses were scattered all over the ground. Under the flash of the sword, the corpses were covered in blood and flew away. Before the iron hooves rushed forward, the flags fell down!
The Khitan army scrambled to escape from the camp and fled towards the mountain, while the Yanyun army followed and chased them up. The defeated troops smashed the defense lines on the hillside to pieces. The Khitan army on the defense line saw their own soldiers fleeing for their lives. Hearing the loud killing sounds at the bottom of the mountain, they couldn't think of anything else. They panicked and fled for their lives with the defeated soldiers. Yan Yun's army followed the defeated soldiers and fought all the way up the mountain.
When Xiao Loushi heard the huge noise coming from the bottom of the mountain, he quickly ran out of the tent and looked down the mountain. I saw that the military camp at the foot of the mountain was completely submerged in the sea of fire, while tens of thousands of our own soldiers on the hillside were running backwards up the mountain in terror, and when they did so, there was the thunderous sound of horse hooves and the thrilling sound of killing!
Xiao Loushi's expression changed, he turned around and ordered to a general beside him: "Go and stop them immediately, don't rush up!" The general agreed and prepared to leave. At this moment, there was a sudden killing sound at the foot of the mountain to the west! Xiao Loushi was startled and hurried to the west hillside to look down the mountain. He suddenly saw Cao Jun's Yanyun army launching a fierce attack. The Yanyun army rushed towards the mountain like a tide!
The Khitan army arrayed on the western hillside was already shaken when they heard the huge killing sound coming from behind. At this time, facing the fierce attack of Yan Yun's army in front, they could not withstand the fierce attack. The defense lines were quickly broken by Yan Yun's army. Yanyun's army was like a broken bamboo, breaking through the Khitan army's defensive line one after another, and rushed towards the hillside. Its momentum was extremely fast and fierce!
Seeing that the situation was critical, Xiao Loushi personally commanded the guards and rushed down the mountain, trying to stop the fierce attack of Yan Yun's army. Unexpectedly, they bumped into the forward of the Modao Army led by Yang Jing. The two sides collided violently. In an instant, the swords flashed and flesh flew everywhere. In an instant, Xiao Loushi's soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and Xiao Loushi himself His left arm was cut off by Yang Jing with an axe, but he was rescued by his own soldiers.
After Xiao Loushi's defeat, the morale of the Khitan army collapsed, and they all gave up trembling and ran towards the mountains. At this moment, only the silhouettes of people were seen on the top of the mountain. Countless black-armored warriors were charging and killing among the crowds, and the sounds of curses and screams could be heard. When Xiao Loushi saw this scene, he knew something was wrong and quickly ordered his soldiers to retreat towards the side of the mountain. A large group of people hurriedly ran towards the right side, walking through thorns and bushes, one foot deep and one foot shallow, in a panic. The other officers and soldiers of the Khitan Army also fled in all directions, while the officers and soldiers of the Yanyun Army chased and killed the enemies and captured prisoners. The entire Duanyun Ridge was in chaos, and the Khitan army had completely collapsed!
Cao Jun rushed to the mountain and saw Yang Peng. He was overjoyed and came forward to pay homage: "General, I will pay my respects to King Yan!"
Yang Peng helped Cao Jun up. Cao Jun looked at Yang Peng and said in disbelief: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that King Yan would come in person!" Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Did you hear the sound of my surprise attack behind the mountain?" Cao Jun He nodded and said: "The generals and others suddenly heard the huge killing sound coming from behind Duanyun Ridge, and they judged that it was probably our people coming from the direction of Yanjing for reinforcements, so they immediately gathered the army to attack Duanyun Ridge. Sure enough, it came down in one go!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "I know that you, Cao Jun, will be able to make correct judgments and decisions, so I didn't send someone to inform you in advance. That would have wasted time and was more likely to expose me. Army action!" Cao Jun nodded, clasped his fists in admiration and said: "The King of Yan is wise!"
At this time, Yang Jing and other generals arrived one after another. When they saw Yang Peng, they were all overjoyed. Yang Jing hugged Yang Peng and spun around. Everyone looked sideways. Yang Jing put down Yang Peng and said with infinite joy: "Haha, big brother, big brother!!"
Yang Peng felt very cordial, punched Yang Jing in the chest, and said angrily: "You guy! I haven't been with my eldest brother for such a long time. Have you violated military laws by drinking too much?" Yang Jing said carelessly: "How can you? Yeah! I, Yang Jing, abide by military laws the most!" Cao Jun said with a smile: "General Yang Jing did not violate the military. I can testify that he just drank secretly sometimes!" Yang Jing immediately felt like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Normally, Lao Gao would shout loudly: "There is no such thing!"
Yang Peng asked with a smile: "Really not?"
Yang Jing just paid it off in front of others, but in front of Yang Peng, he didn't dare to lie at all. He hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I only have one or two sips occasionally!" Then he looked at Cao Jun and said angrily: "The last time I secretly drank two sips of wine, he beat me with twenty military sticks!" Cao Jun said with a smile: "General Yang Jing, don't blame me, this is military law, and I can only deal with it impartially!" Yang Peng said: "Cao Jun did the right thing! No matter how small the matter is, it must be dealt with impartially!" Yang Jing muttered in a low voice: "I didn't blame him, it was just my unlucky nature!" Everyone laughed.
Yang Peng said: "Okay, don't gossip anymore." He looked at Cao Jun and ordered: "Send the troops to pursue in all directions and eliminate as many enemies as possible!" Cao Jun clasped his fists and agreed.
Yang Peng walked quickly to the side of the black dragon, got on his horse, and rushed to the Kingdom of Jin: "Follow me the Xuanjia Army!" The Kingdom of Zhanjin promised, and shouted to the Xuanjia Army: "Mount the horse!" All the Xuanjia Army were originally there. They dismounted and came to rest. After hearing the order, they immediately got on their horses and gathered together. Zhan Jinguo also got on his horse.
Cao Jun asked: "King Yan, are you planning to raid Gui Dezhou?"
Yang Peng said: "It's not just about returning to Dezhou! You are chasing the remnants of the enemy and rushing to support them at the same time!" Cao Jun clasped his fists and promised.
Yang Pengle turned his horse's head and ran down the mountain on the way up. Zhan Jinguo led two thousand Xuanjia troops following closely behind. Yang Peng withdrew his gaze and issued a series of orders. The generals took the orders and ran down.
The prefect of Guizhou was a Khitan named Pu Gudong. When he saw the earth-shattering killings on Duanyun Ridge and heard the roar of the killings, he couldn't help but feel his heart in his throat. When he saw the Khitan army being killed and utterly defeated, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he calmed down and said hurriedly to the confidants around him: "Hurry! Open the city gate quickly! We surrender, we surrender!" Most of the residents of Xijing Road still remembered the Liao Kingdom in their hearts a few years ago, and these days During the year, the Khitan army continued to conquer and consumed a lot of money and food. Therefore, taxes in various places were extremely heavy, and Gui Dezhou was no exception. Therefore, the people here did not have much sense of belonging to the Liao Kingdom. When they heard that the prefect wanted to surrender to Yan Yun, Not only were they not angry, but they were all overjoyed and wished they could surrender immediately.
When Yang Peng led the Xuanjia Army on the way to Gui Dezhou, he saw Yan Yun's flag erected in Gui Dezhou and the city gates were opened wide, and he understood. He immediately sent a small group of fifty Xuanjia troops to occupy Guizhou, while he and Zhan Jin led the main force of the Xuanjia army to bypass Guizhou and kill Fengshengzhou in the south!
Two thousand war cavalry rushed forward and arrived outside Fengshengzhou City half a day later. At this time, Fengsheng Prefecture did not know the news that Xiao Loushi's army had been defeated. The city gates were open as usual, and business travelers continued to come in and out. More than two thousand war cavalry did not make any stop and rushed into the city gate like a whirlwind. Before the soldiers and civilians of Fengsheng Prefecture could react, the governor of Fengsheng Prefecture was killed, and Yanyun's flag was raised on the top of the city.
Yang Peng left Zhan Jin Guo and led 500 cavalry to guard Feng Sheng Prefecture, while he led the main force of the Xuanjia Army to continue to kill Khan Prefecture in the east! Ertai, the governor of Khan Prefecture, was born in the Liao army. He discovered Yang Peng and others in advance. Seeing that there were only 1,500 people coming, he mobilized the 3,000 defenders in the city to fight, intending to annihilate the Yanyun army in one go.
Unexpectedly, before the three thousand people formed their formation on the plain, the opponent swept over them like a strong wind. How could this kind of city defense force withstand the attack of the Xuanjia Army? They were instantly overwhelmed and defeated. The prefect Ertai actually wanted to challenge Yang Peng in a single fight, but he was thrown away by Yang Peng and died unexpectedly!
The three thousand defenders of Khan Prefecture were wiped out in an instant. When the officials on the city gate tower saw this, they were so frightened that they took off their official robes and fled down the city wall. In an instant, not a single figure escaped on the city wall. All gone. Yang Peng led the Xuanjia Army into Khan Prefecture and captured Khan Prefecture. Then Yang Peng led his army to the northeast, swept through the Western Mountains, broke through Wangyun, and entered Longmen Mountain. This Longmen Mountain is located at the junction of Xijing Road and Zhongjing Road in the Liao Kingdom. It is a steep mountain with Baihe River as its back. It is the choke point connecting Xijing Road and Zhongjing Road.
In just two days, after defeating Xiao Loushi's army, the Yanyun Army successively captured Gui Dezhou, Fengsheng Prefecture, Khan Prefecture, Ruzhou, as well as Wangyun and Longmen Mountain. It can be said that the land of Xijing Road in the original Liao Kingdom was basically seized by the Yanyun Army.
After Yang Peng occupied Longshan, he did not continue to send troops eastward, because there were still heavy Liao troops on the Zhongjing Road. Attacking the Zhongjing Road would not yield much, but might put himself in danger. Yang Peng ordered Cao Jun to lead 50,000 troops to guard Longmen Mountain and other places. He himself led 150,000 troops and the Xuanjia Army to turn south, pass Juyong Pass and enter the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.
The protector king of the Liao Kingdom, Yeqi Hucheng, was waiting for the news that the Japanese had completely wiped out the Yanyun navy and invaded Hebei. However, there was an urgent military situation that Xiao Loushi's army was defeated and Yanyun's 150,000 troops crossed Juyong Pass and marched south. Ye Qi Hucheng and others were in disbelief. Ye Qi Hucheng said angrily: "Xiao Lou's army of more than 100,000 people will not collapse in such a short time even if it is attacked!" The veteran herald looked frightened. Authentic: "King Yan, King Yan led the Xuanjia Army to suddenly appear behind our army. Our army was caught off guard. In an instant, they broke through the camp at the foot of the mountain. Then they broke up and fled up the mountain, disrupting the defense lines and camps on the mountain. At this moment, the Yanyun Army in front suddenly launched a fierce attack. Our army was in panic. It was difficult to resist in a hurry and was overwhelmed by the opponent in one fell swoop!..." The herald lowered his head with a look of shame on his face.
Ye Qi Hucheng paced back and forth anxiously, and all the generals looked at Ye Qi Hucheng. For a moment, the only sound in the tent was the sound of Ye Qi Hucheng's boots stepping on the ground, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.
Ye Qian Hucheng turned around and walked to the sand table. Seeing this, the generals couldn't help but gather around him.
Yeqi Hucheng looked at the sand table and frowned: "Damn it! With these 150,000 soldiers and horses coming, how can we attack Yanjing!" Han Chang said worriedly: "Add these 150,000 troops, the force is still far away Less than us, but Yanyun's army is very powerful, these soldiers and horses can already fight with our army in the field!" Looking at Yeli Hucheng, he cupped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that our army temporarily retreats to Shunzhou. To prevent this Yanyun army from cutting off our army's retreat!" Yeqi Hucheng's eyes fell on Shunzhou and thought: "Retreat to Shunzhou temporarily and wait for the Japanese to destroy the Yanyun navy and invade Hebei and Shandong." Han Chang nodded and said: "Exactly! When the Japanese army of 200,000 entered Hebei, they surrounded the 200,000 Yanyun army on the southern front from the rear. Together with our 150,000 or 60,000 cavalry, we could deal with the 200,000 The Yanyun Army should be confident! After they have eliminated the 200,000 Yanyun Army, and finally gather their strength to fight the Yanyun Army under Yanjing City, the morale of the Yanyun Army will definitely be frustrated, and our army will be Several times the Yanyun Army, we can definitely annihilate the entire Yanyun Army in one fell swoop!"
Zheng Shilong said angrily: "That's very good, but I'm afraid it's unrealistic!" Everyone's eyes focused on him, and Han Chang felt a little annoyed. Zheng Shilong said: "The Japanese are not our subordinates, how could they act according to our intentions?" Yeqi Hucheng and the generals nodded, feeling that what Zheng Shilong said was reasonable. Zheng Shilong continued: "The Japanese have always been greedy. I think there is a high probability that they will take advantage of Yanyun's main force being fettered by us and annex as much of Yanyun's territory as possible instead of coming to destroy Yanyun's main force with us. I think They wish we could fight with Yanyun's main force until both sides suffer losses!
Han Chang was even more annoyed, but what Zheng Shilong said was reasonable and he couldn't refute it at all. Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and nodded, saying: "Zheng Shilong is right! The Japanese will definitely not come to fight Yanyun's army!" After a pause, he snorted coldly and said, "The Japanese want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. I'll also let him sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!" He turned to look at the captain of the soldiers and ordered: "Immediately order Sa Lihe to lead the cavalry to get rid of Yanyun's army and retreat to Shunzhou!" The captain of the soldiers agreed and ran away. Go down.
Han Chang said: "The king's decision is very wise, so should our main army give up the siege of Yanjing and go to recapture the occupied Xijing Road?"
Ye Qianhu City shook his head and thought: "Although the Yanyun Army captured Fengshengzhou and other cities, that's all. The army from Zhongjing Road must have been mobilized to Xijing Road, and there will be no danger in Zhongjing Road. We We also retreated to Shunzhou and stationed troops in Shunzhou to wait for the opportunity." The generals looked at each other, not understanding what Ye Qi Hucheng meant. Yeqian Hucheng glanced at the generals and explained: "Our army of more than 500,000 troops stationed in Shunzhou is like a huge tiger entrenched on the mountain. Although Yan Yun has gathered more than 400,000 troops, but in front of him There is no advantage over us, let alone the certainty of victory. Therefore, I conclude that King Yang Peng of Yan has only one choice, which is to garrison Yanjing with part of his troops, and at the same time mobilize heavy troops to go south to deal with the Japanese first. Humph, wait for them to fight When the sky is dark and the ground is at a loss, we suddenly attack and besiege Yanjing, and capture the city of Yanjing in one fell swoop!"
When the generals heard this, their eyes lit up. Han Chang praised: "Your Majesty, what a plan! As long as we capture Yanjing City, the initiative will be in our hands!" The generals nodded in agreement. Yeqianhu City ordered: "All armies immediately set off to retreat to Shunzhou, and at the same time inform Sa Lihe of the situation!" All the generals agreed in unison.
The Yanyun soldiers at the top of Yanjing City couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the Liao army outside the city withdrawing camp and retreating north. The news spread quickly throughout the city, and the whole city burst into joy.
Ye Qi Guanyin and others climbed onto the city wall and saw the Khitan army slowly retreating towards the north. Yang Jiumei said excitedly: "The King of Yan must have defeated the Khitan army in Fengsheng Province, otherwise the Khitan army would not have been able to retreat!" All the generals looked very excited, Xiao Feng said excitedly: "The King of Yan is invincible, and he was defeated in one fell swoop with this attack The enemy troops have been diverted and the situation has changed!" The generals nodded with deep understanding, with a look of great reverence in their eyes.
Ye Qi Guanyin thought for a moment, frowned and said: "It's too early to be happy now!"
Everyone's eyes focused on Ye Qi Guanyin, and they all looked very puzzled. Ye Qi Guanyin said: "I know my elder brother very well, and he will never give up like this! Besides, the Japanese are still fighting fiercely with our army, and the outcome is unknown. If I were the fifth brother, I would definitely shrink temporarily and sit back and watch the situation develop. , and then decide how to attack!"
Everyone felt that what Ye Qi Guanyin said was reasonable, and they all became worried. Xiao Feng said worriedly: "I wonder what the situation is like with the navy?"
In the evening of that day, the lookout soldiers on the city wall were startled when they saw the smoke and dust in the sky, and immediately sounded the alarm. The soldiers immediately climbed onto the city wall to prepare for battle, while the people became nervous again, with their hearts in their throats.
Soon after, I saw a knight of my own side running to the city gate, reining in his horse, and shouted loudly: "King Yan, 150,000 soldiers from the direct army have arrived!" The people on the top of the city were extremely surprised when they heard this. However, for the sake of safety, the city gate was still not opened.
Half an hour later, an army of 150,000 troops entered Yanjing City, and Ye Guanyin threw herself into Yang Peng's arms regardless of the public. Their eyes met, and everything was unspeakable.
At the same time, Ye Qian Hucheng led the army back to Shunzhou. Two days later, Xiao Salihe's cavalry troops who had withdrawn from the south also entered Shunzhou. The Khitan army of nearly 550,000 people was entrenched in Shunzhou, watching the south with eager eyes! At the same time, Xiang Danian's 200,000-strong army, which was marching towards Yanjing, received a message from Yang Peng on horseback, ordering them to stop advancing north and station nearby.
Yeqian Hucheng frequently sent messengers and scouts to inquire about news about the Japanese. He eagerly hoped that the Japanese navy had completely wiped out the Yanyun navy. Soon after, he received news that 250,000 Japanese troops had landed off the coast of Dengzhou, Shandong, and he was overjoyed. Then he received news that the 200,000 Yanyun army on the southern front was turning southeast and heading towards Dengzhou. He felt that everything was as he expected, so he ordered his 550,000 troops to assemble and march towards Yan again. Jing rushed over. This time, he will devour Yanjing in one go.
An army of 500,000 people left Shunzhou, crossed the Wenyu River, and reached the city of Yanjing. At this time, Yang Peng led an army of 200,000 Yanyun and formed a battle formation with his back to the city.
Yeqianhu City was very excited when they saw that Yanyun's army was not defending the city. They felt that this was a good opportunity to annihilate Yanyun's main force in one fell swoop. In order to prevent Yan Yun's army from retreating into the city if the battle was unfavorable, he ordered General Barun to go to Yan Yun's army formation and shout: "This place is not spacious enough. If King Yan is really a hero, then come with us to a spacious place to fight to the death!" Yan Yun The warriors yelled and cursed one after another, and Yang Jing shouted with a loud voice: "Fucking Khitan dog, who are you? How dare you come here and scream!" Then he ran out of the military formation, pointed an ax at Barun and cursed: "Khitan dog, come and fight Grandpa for three hundred rounds!"
Barron recognized Yang Jing and knew that he was no match for this most dangerous weapon in the world. He hurriedly said: "I'm just here to deliver a message. It's up to you whether you dare or not! Farewell!" After saying that, he hurriedly turned the horse's head, panicking. He ran away in a hurry. Yang Jing laughed loudly and yelled: "Donkeys and oxen shoot birds, you have no guts!" General Yan Yun laughed, while the Khitan soldiers felt very ashamed and dishonored.
Barun rushed to the front of the Tiger City. Ye Qian Hucheng glared at him angrily. Barron felt ashamed and lowered his head. Yeqi Hucheng raised his right hand and ordered: "The armies take turns to cover and retreat to the west!" The 550,000 Khitan army immediately took action and slowly retreated to the west.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
