Yang Jing's eyes widened and he said angrily: "So you know me! I thought you didn't know me! Since you know me, why didn't you greet me when you saw me just now? Do you look down on me?"
Duan Yang hurriedly said: "General, General, forgive me! You villain, how dare you look down on the general, my villain, I just received an order to reinforce the west city gate, so I rushed over in a hurry, but I was negligent. Thanks to the etiquette, Sir General, please forgive me, please forgive me!"
Yang Jing suddenly grinned and said with a smile: "I was just kidding you. Why are you so nervous? I won't eat you!" Duan Yang said this and really didn't know how to respond. I was extremely anxious, worried that I would mess up something big by carrying a reckless man on my back, and there would be no way to explain it!
Yang Jing glanced at Duan Yang's men and asked, "Where did your civilian army come from?" He turned back to Duan Yang and asked, "What's your name and who are you? "
Duan Yang did not dare to lie, so he said truthfully: "The villain's name is Duan Yang." Then he pointed to his subordinates and said: "They are all the villain's servants and guardians!"
Yang Jing raised his thick eyebrows and said, "Your surname is Duan. What does it have to do with Duan Yao, the one who rebelled before?" As soon as these words came out, Duan Yang and Hui Li didn't both become extremely nervous. Hui Li didn't think the situation was bad and repeatedly asked Duan Yang He winked and signaled to get rid of these people in front of him, but Duan Yang didn't seem to see him and didn't react at all. I didn't see this scene when I returned the gift. I was so worried, but there was nothing I could do!
Duan Yang looked ashamed and said: "The villain and Duan Yao are brothers!..."
Yang Jing's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Since you are a rebellious brother, you must not be a good person. Come with me!" Duan Yang and Huili Buwei became nervous, and Duan Yang hurriedly said: "General Mingjian, Xiao People have received military orders to support the west city gate, and they dare not leave their posts without authorization!" When Yang Jing heard that he had military orders, he immediately stretched out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan and shouted: "Bring it here!" Duan Yang had no choice but to take it from his waist. A black iron order was taken out of the leather bag. Yang Jing and Hui Li were both shocked when they saw nothing. Yang Jing muttered with dissatisfaction: "Brother is really confused, how can you give the King of Yan's Token to this guy?" However, since the other party took out the Black Iron Token of the King of Yan, there was nothing he could do. If he wanted to do it at this time, To take people by force would be to disobey King Yan's general order. Although Yang Jing was reckless and violent, he would never dare to disobey military orders.
Yang Jing glared at Duan Yang and said angrily: "You kid, don't be arrogant. I'll report it to my eldest brother and then I'll deal with you!" After saying that, he turned his horse's head and rode off, followed closely by a dozen soldiers. .
Duan Yang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Jing finally left. He picked up his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He walked up without returning the gift, glanced at Yang Jing's back, and said happily: "This black guy is finally gone!" Then he turned around and asked Duan Yang suspiciously: "How come Mr. Duan has King Yan's Black Iron Order in his hand?" Duan Yang chuckled, waved the Black Iron Token in his hand casually, and asked: "General, does he also believe that this King Yan's Black Iron Token is real?" He was stunned for a moment in return, then suddenly realized, nodded and said: "It turns out that Mr. Duan I have forged a black iron order a long time ago!" Duan Yang nodded, "That's right. Originally I just wanted to use it under the city gate, but I didn't expect it to be used here!" He said in return: "This is God's will. Yes, God will let us succeed in the Liao Kingdom!"
Duan Yang nodded and said nothing in return: "When we get to the city gate later, don't do anything yet. Let me use this Black Iron Token to try to see if I can move them away. If I can, I will save a lot. It also eliminates possible risks." In return, he didn't think this plan was brilliant and said: "If you can use this fake black iron order to divert the Yanyun defenders, it would be great! If you do it, it will really There is no guarantee that everything will go wrong. After all, the Yanyun Army is the most powerful in the world. Even if our elite Liao Army launches a surprise attack, we may not necessarily be able to succeed!" Duan Yang saw that he agreed and said, "Let's go." Then a large group of people People continued towards the west gate.
After a while, a large group of people came to the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city gate immediately became vigilant and formed a battle formation. The captain stepped forward, raised his right hand, and shouted loudly: "The city gate is an important place, stop anyone coming!" "
Duan Yang and his party stopped and returned the greeting but Yan Yunjun was very vigilant. He couldn't help but worry secretly, feeling that the raid would be difficult to succeed. Duan Yang took a step forward, took out the black iron order, raised it high, and said loudly: "According to the military order of King Yan, I will take over the defense of the city gate!"
The captain was surprised when he saw him taking out the Black Iron Order. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Please wait a moment, I'll report it to the captain!" Then he turned around and ran up the city wall, while Duan Yang and others were waiting on the spot. In return, he glanced sideways at Duan Yang, seeing how calm he looked, and couldn't help but admire him.
After a while, a middle-aged man who looked like a general walked down, accompanied by the captain and several sergeants. Duan Yang cupped his fists towards the city gate captain and said, "Young man Duan Yang, I have met the general." The middle-aged man nodded and asked, "Are you here to take over the city gate defense?" Duan Yang nodded: " Exactly!" The middle-aged man glanced at the subordinates behind Duan Yang, frowned and said: "You are all civilian soldiers, why did King Yan let you take over the defense of the city gate?" Duan Yang was obviously prepared, as soon as he heard After saying this, he said: "In view of the current serious situation, King Yan hopes that all regular troops can seize the time to rest and recuperate in order to cope with the war that may come at any time. Therefore, he specially ordered us to come and take over the defense of the West City Gate." King Yan then took the hand. The black iron order was presented and he said: "This is the black iron order given by King Yan himself. Please take a look at it, general."
The captain quickly stretched out his hands, bowed to take the Black Iron Order, looked at it carefully, nodded, accepted the Black Iron Order, clasped his fists towards Duan Yang and said: "Since the Black Iron Order has arrived, naturally there will be no If you have any questions, I'll leave them to you, sir!" Duan Yang quickly replied: "We are all serving King Yan, general, don't be polite!" The lieutenant nodded and said to the people around him: "Give the order, both front and back. The sergeants at the gates of the city must gather here immediately!" Several people responded and ran down, and soon after, more than 600 sergeants Yanyun who were guarding the front and rear gates of the West City gathered at the gate.
The captain clasped his fists towards Duan Yang and said, "Sir, I'll leave this to you. If you find anything, please knock the gong on the top of the city gate to warn you." Duan Yang returned the salute: "I'll take note of it!" He led his sergeants and left.
As soon as Yan Yunjun left, he couldn't help but said excitedly in return: "Great! I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. They actually captured the city gate without any blood!"
Duan Yang said: "Without further delay, let's quickly control the two city gates, open the city gates, and then send the signal." He nodded in return. Duan Yang immediately ordered, and more than a thousand people immediately divided into six or seven hundred people, climbed up the city wall, and controlled the front and rear gate towers of the Wengcheng in the west city. Duan Yang and Hui Libu led another six to seven hundred people out of the city gate, passed through the barbican, and came to the gate of the outer city wall. After waiting for a while, the people who occupied the city gate tower opened the iron gate of the outer city gate. . Duan Yang waved his hand, and a dozen people behind him immediately rushed forward, lifted the huge door latch across the city gate, and then pushed the city gate open.
He returned the gift without any haste and ran out of the city gate. At this time, the suspension bridge on the moat was slowly lowered. In return, he took off the horn bow on his back, pulled out the signal rocket prepared in advance, lit it, put on the bowstring, pointed the full moon at the night sky, then loosened his fingers, and with a crash, the arrow disappeared into the night sky. Then there was only a popping sound, and a red spark exploded in the night sky, which was particularly eye-catching.
A moment later, there was a faint thunderous sound outside the city, and under the reflection of the moonlight, human figures could be seen faintly and endlessly. Duan Yang changed his color slightly, walked to Hui Li Bu's side, and said: "General, let's go back to the inner city gate to prevent Yan Yun's army from seizing the city gate after noticing!" Hui Li didn't think Duan Yang's words made sense, so he clicked nodded. Everyone quickly left the outer city gate and rushed to the inner city gate.
After a while, I saw a rolling 'tide' pouring into the outer city gate. In return, he said unexcitingly: "Here he comes! He comes!"
In just a moment, tens of thousands of Khitan troops poured into Wengcheng and rushed towards the inner city gate. At this moment, there were two loud bangs, and the iron gates of the inner and outer city gates actually fell down. The tens of thousands of Khitan troops who entered the Wengcheng suddenly became turtles in the urn! Although the Khitan army was shocked, they were also very surprised in return. They quickly turned to Duan Yang and asked: "What's going on? Raise the iron gate quickly!" Duan Yang sneered and said: "No need!" He waved his hand. The sword slashed him, and he was caught off guard in return. He couldn't dodge, and his chest was cut open by the sword. He fell heavily to the ground and was immediately punished.
At this time, arrows rained down from the walls around the Wengcheng, and rolling stones and trees fell like hail. The Khitan troops in Wengcheng had nowhere to hide or escape. Their flesh and blood flew everywhere and they fell down one after another.
Seeing that Yeqi Hucheng outside the city had fallen into Yang Peng's scheme again, he was frightened, angry and confused. He did not think carefully and ordered all the troops outside the city to attack the city fiercely. The troops outside the city shouted and stormed the city wall. Since the Khitan army did not intend to attack the city wall tonight, they did not carry siege equipment. They only used simple siege equipment such as ropes and simple ladders to attack the city wall. Because of the obstruction of the moat, the Khitan army's The attack made no progress. Instead, the Yanyun army suffered heavy casualties under the attack of bows and gunpowder. In just a moment, a layer of Khitan army corpses floated on the moat! Those who were not completely dead were still struggling desperately in the water, unable to survive even before their eyes!
Seeing that the attack on the city was not going well, Yeqianhu City was extremely angry and kept issuing strict orders to attack the city. However, the right time, place, and people were not on the side of the Khitan army. Even if he issued strict orders, it was difficult to make progress. He saw waves of attacks coming up. The Khitan soldiers fell down, but they didn't even reach the top of the city!
Han Chang said anxiously: "The enemy is obviously well prepared. Such a strong attack will only increase casualties in vain. We should find another way!" Yeqi Hucheng was really at a loss. After hearing this, he quickly asked: "Do you have any?" What’s a good idea?”
Han Chang pointed to the city gate and said: "Why don't we concentrate all the gunpowder and use it in the direction of the city gate to blow it down in one fell swoop. Maybe we can turn defeat into victory! Even if we can't turn defeat into victory, we can still rescue the trapped troops!" End Yan Gaoshen thought so and immediately ordered the gunpowder soldiers to concentrate all the gunpowder under the city gate and blow it down. The gunpowder soldiers received the order and took action immediately, pushing a dozen gunpowder carts and rushing towards the city gate.
At this moment, Ye Qianhucheng and others suddenly heard that Wengcheng became quiet, and then discovered that there were still many soldiers and horses of their own in Wengcheng, but the surrounding Yanyun army had stopped attacking. Just when I was feeling puzzled, the iron gate of the inner city gate suddenly rose, and the mighty general Zhan Jinguo led two thousand Xuanjia troops to rush out and slammed into the middle of the Khitan army!
The Khitan soldiers in Wengcheng had been beaten to a pulp and their souls were gone. At this time, they were suddenly charged and killed by the Xuanjia army. They were rushed to pieces and ran around. No one dared to fight with the Xuanjia army. !
The Zhanjin Kingdom led the Xuanjia Army in one fell swoop and rushed through the Wengcheng. At this moment, the iron gate of the outer city gate also rose. The Zhanjin Kingdom led the Xuanjia Army and rushed out of the outer city gate and crashed into the Khitan on the suspension bridge. In the army crowd, iron hooves collided, cold light flashed, and the Khitan army soldiers were killed until their corpses were covered in blood and fell into the moats on both sides. The Kingdom of Zhan Jin led the Xuanjia Army to rush across the moat in one fell swoop, galloping and killing among thousands of Khitan troops. No one could stop them!
Yeqianhu City was extremely angry and ordered all the armies to besiege. However, the Xuanjia Army led by the Kingdom of Zhanjin penetrated the siege of the Khitan Army like an extremely sharp dagger and flew towards the north in a cloud of dust. Seeing this scene, Yeqianhu City could only give up encircling and annihilating them, and ordered all the troops to return to their original positions and continue to storm the city wall.
At this moment, an officer of the Gunpowder Army rushed to Yeqianhu City and reported urgently: "Your Majesty, the Yanyun Army raised the suspension bridge and we cannot approach the city gate!"
Ye Qihucheng and others were surprised. They quickly looked towards the city gate and saw that the suspension bridge that had been lowered had actually been raised! Yeqi Hucheng and others suddenly realized. Yeqi Hucheng cursed angrily: "Damn Yanyun people!" Han Chang frowned and said: "The basic purpose of the Xuanjia Army's surprise attack just now was to clean up our troops on the suspension bridge. Get rid of them so we can raise the drawbridge! They expected that we planned to use gunpowder to blast open the city gate!"
The suspension bridge has been raised, and the intention of blowing open the city gate of Yeqihu City cannot be realized. They can only continue to storm the city wall. The Khitan soldiers trapped in the urn city continue to die under the constant attacks from all directions, and screams come one after another. The sound was so loud that it greatly affected the morale of the Khitan soldiers outside the city. Han Chang and others saw that the situation was unfavorable and that they would die in vain if they continued to fight, so they suggested that Yeqi Hucheng withdraw its troops and return to the camp. However, Yeqi Hucheng was so angry that he not only did not adopt the generals' suggestions, but instead sent them to the camp. After being severely reprimanded, the generals did not dare to say anything anymore.
The screams inside the urn gradually became fainter, while the Khitan soldiers outside the city who stormed the city wall suffered heavy casualties one after another, but still made no progress. It’s no wonder that although the Khitan army is powerful, they don’t have suitable siege equipment in front of the high city wall and the wide river. How can they possibly attack the city wall guarded by Yan Yun’s elite with simple ladders and ropes?
At this moment, Han Chang suddenly pointed to the military camp behind him and shouted with horror on his face: "Look!" When everyone saw this, they quickly turned around and looked, and they were all shocked! I saw that the night sky in the distance was fiery red, and the joint camp more than ten miles away turned into a raging and terrifying sea of fire. Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and couldn't help shouting: "No! The Yanyun Army must have taken advantage of us to attack the city and raided the camp! All soldiers and horses, return immediately for reinforcements!"
The Khitan army stopped attacking the city and rushed towards the camp. At this time, the tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers in Wengcheng had been killed and injured. The iron gates of the two city gates at the front and back suddenly rose, and the suspension bridge was lowered. Upon seeing this, the thousands of Khitan troops who were lucky enough to survive in the Wengcheng felt as if they had seen a life-saving straw in despair. Unspeakable surprises welled up in their hearts, and they rushed towards the outer city gate. Suddenly, there was a loud rumble behind him. The Khitan soldiers were startled. Looking back, they saw Yan Yun's fierce general Xiang Danian rushing into Wengcheng with countless soldiers and horses.
The Khitan soldiers were frightened and ran away in a hurry. However, they fell to the ground under the constant rain of arrows fired by Yan Yun's army, and screams continued one after another. Yan Yun's army caught up with them, and with a fierce killing, the remaining Khitan army was completely killed.
Tens of thousands of Yanyun troops and hundreds of thousands of civilian troops, led by Xiang Danian, rushed out of the city and attacked the retreating Khitan army. Hundreds of thousands of horses and horses filled the mountains and fields and attacked wildly. All the civilian troops were infected by the atmosphere and became enthusiastic. It surged and roared like a beast attacking its prey. It was thrilling! The Khitan army first exhausted its energy when attacking the city defenses. Later, when they saw the camp being attacked and the flames soaring into the sky, they couldn't help but panic and were at a loss. Now they saw the Yanyun army approaching fiercely, with hundreds of thousands of troops all over the mountains and fields. They couldn't help but be frightened! As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, the rear line was torn to pieces, and the rout troops fled backwards. The result was like a domino effect, and the rout quickly spread to the entire army! The Yanyun Army fought even more energetically, roaring and howling in excitement as they charged forward desperately. Although those civilian soldiers had little effect in the tragic battle, they played a big role at this time! In the dark night, from the perspective of the Khitan army, they thought there were really hundreds of thousands of Yanyun troops, and they couldn't help but feel frightened!
Seeing the overwhelming defeat, Yeqian Hucheng was anxious and angry. However, the matter had come to this, and it was of no use to be anxious or angry. After all, Ye Qian Hucheng was a famous general. He quickly calmed down, quickly made a judgment on the situation at hand, and urgently ordered all his soldiers to go down and deliver the order, ordering all the ministries to retreat to Shunzhou!
At this moment, a troop of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses came from the direction of the burning military camp and launched a fierce attack on the retreating Liao army. The fierce general who was leading the way and had no generals under him suddenly suddenly It's Yang Peng!
The Khitan army could no longer resist and the entire army collapsed! Yan Yun's army chased them one after another, killing the Khitan army corpses all over the field and bleeding into rivers. They killed the Khitan army and cried for their fathers and mothers, and their souls were gone! …
At dawn, the soldiers and civilians who climbed the city wall saw that the Khitan military camp in the distance, which had been weighing heavily on their hearts these days, had turned into a charred ruin. Corpses were strewn across the field, and groups of Khitan military prisoners were buried in Yanyun. Under the escort of the army, he walked towards this side with his head pulled up. Although the residents did not know the specific situation of the battle, they felt that their side must have achieved an unprecedented victory, and they couldn't help but cheer. Under the excitement, they could only shout "Ahhh" and could not say anything else! Shouts of joy echoed on the city walls.
In the city, the people rushed to the streets to inquire about the situation of the battle. They came galloping together and shouted with great excitement: "We have won! We have won!..." The people were endlessly surprised, and some were even more surprised. I cried with joy.
Yang Peng led the army back to Yanjing, and the people turned out to welcome him. The sound of cheers filled the world, and there was almost no other sound to be heard! Tears of extreme joy were flying in the air! Many people knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Peng!
Duan Yao and others who were imprisoned in the cell originally fully expected the Khitans to conquer Yanjing. Not only would they have to escape from the prison, but they would also jump to the dragon gate and become officials in charge of Yanyun. At that time, all new and old accounts could be settled in one fell swoop. . However, the expected chaotic sounds did not appear, but cheers like landslides and tsunamis came, making people feel surprised and uncertain. Duan Yao shouted from the jailer standing far away: "Hey! Hey!"
When the jailer heard the cry, he came over and said angrily: "What are you yelling about?" Duan Yao asked hurriedly; "My lord, what happened outside? Why is it so noisy?" The jailer laughed and said: "King Yan led us to fight a victorious battle last night. The Khitans were completely defeated, and the remaining troops advanced and retreated to Shunzhou!" Duan Yao and others were shocked when they heard this, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
On the other side, Ye Qian Hucheng led the remaining defeated troops to retreat to Shunzhou. After taking inventory, he found that there were only about 300,000 people left in the army. Thinking of the 600,000 people and the majestic momentum when the troops were sent out, everyone couldn't help but feel discouraged and frightened. The big tent was very quiet and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Ye Qian Hucheng saw the expressions of the generals in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel annoyed, and said in a deep voice: "What are you doing with such discouraged looks? We are not defeated yet!" The generals looked at each other, and did not speak. He thought secretly: 'Our army has lost more than half, its morale is low, and its food and fodder have been destroyed. How can we still call it undefeated? It's not just a failure, it's a complete defeat! '
The generals felt that if the fight continued, they would probably destroy all the remaining 300,000 troops. Then the problem would become serious! The generals couldn't help but feel worried when they thought of this. West came out and said: "Your Majesty, our army has failed! If the current situation continues, the consequences will be disastrous! The general thought that we should retreat immediately!" All the generals agreed.
Ye Qian Hucheng was furious and slammed the desk with a loud bang. The generals' hearts trembled, and they couldn't help but shut their mouths. Suddenly, the sound of needle drops could be heard in the big tent! Yeqihu City stared at the generals like a wounded beast and said harshly: "Whoever dares to talk about retreat again and shakes the morale of the army will be killed immediately!" The generals were frightened and looked at each other, not knowing what to do. .
Ye Qian Hucheng's expression softened a little and said: "As long as the Japanese can make significant progress in the south, we can turn defeat into victory!" West couldn't help but muttered: "Our army of 600,000 has been defeated, and the army of 200,000 has been defeated." It would be really strange if the Japanese army could defeat 200,000 Yanyun troops!" Yeqian Hucheng was furious and asked: "Are you doubting my words?" West thought to himself: "It's better not to provoke him. Well, if he kills her in a rage, it won’t be worth it! ' As soon as he thought about this, he bowed and said: "The general does not dare to question the king, but he is a little worried!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
