The envoy was surprised after hearing Yang Peng's words, and asked cautiously: "I don't know, I don't know how the King of Yan wants to compensate?" Yang Peng said: "I don't want more, you Liao Kingdom can just compensate 10 million taels of silver! The messenger was startled and exclaimed: "Ten million taels?!"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "What? Too little?" The envoy said quickly: "No, no, no, it's too much, too much! Ten million taels of silver, this is too much!" Then he frowned and said : "Although our army has caused a lot of losses to your side, our army has also suffered heavy losses, and Feng Sheng Prefecture and other places have been captured by your side! Speaking of losses, the two sides are actually about the same!..."
Yang Peng waved his hand and said: "This is my condition! Since you are not the main negotiator, I have nothing to do with you! You go back and tell your empress my conditions. It's up to her whether you like it or not!"
The envoy felt that he really couldn't make the decision on such a big matter, so it would be better to repay the favor and let the empress make the decision. As soon as he thought of this, he bowed and said: "I will definitely bring King Yan's message to you! Farewell." Yang Peng said: "Your Majesty, please leave. I won't send you off!" The envoy left.
Li Xu couldn't help but said: "I'm afraid the Khitan people won't agree to these conditions put forward by elder brother!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "I know." Li Xu and other generals showed very puzzled expressions. Yang Jing said angrily: "Brother, since you know, why do you still put forward such a condition? Isn't this like taking off your pants and farting? , is this unnecessary?" Everyone couldn't help laughing. Yang Jing suddenly blinked his eyes and said as if he suddenly realized: "I understand, brother, you don't want to negotiate at all, you are just teasing them! I'm right, haha!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "There are many places where we need to use troops. If the imperial army comes, the strength of the troops will be even more tense. Therefore, it is very important for us to call a truce with the Khitans as soon as possible!"
Yang Jing blinked stupidly, "Well, then..." Yang Peng smiled and said, "It's like doing business now." He glanced at Yang Jing, "Yang Jing, if you are selling goods, Yes, I'm a buyer. If I particularly want to buy a product from you, what would you do?" Yang Jing said without thinking: "Brother, if you want it, I'll just give it to you. I can't buy anything. Bought! Unless you don't treat me as a brother!" Yang Peng was stunned and couldn't help laughing, and everyone also laughed.
Ye Qi Guanyin asked: "What if the person who particularly wants to buy the goods in your hand is not your eldest brother, but a person you don't recognize?"
Yang Jing also said loudly without thinking, "Of course, I will definitely kill him severely! You are a fool not to take advantage of him!" Everyone laughed. Ye Qi Guanyin smiled and said: "That's right! Now the king is like a cargo owner, and we are the buyers. If we show that we really want it..." Yang Jing's eyes lit up and he said loudly: " I understand! That prostitute from the Liao Kingdom will definitely kill us severely! It’s his grandma’s!” Everyone couldn’t laugh or cry when they heard that he actually called the Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom.
Yang Peng thought: "As soon as we proposed a truce, the other party immediately agreed. This means that at least Wang Jun was scared of being beaten and did not dare to fight again! In this case, we might as well take up the air and let the Khitans think we are We don't really care about a truce, making them fearful and uncertain! Only in this way can we reach an agreement with them! On the contrary, if we act very eagerly, I'm afraid the Khitans will feel that we are not confident enough and have a Have other thoughts!”
Yang Jiumei was so impressed that she couldn't help but said: "What King Yan has considered is very reasonable. It can be said that it is a comprehensive plan!" Yang Jing said carelessly: "I don't understand very well!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "These annoying things , Yang Jing doesn’t need to worry!" Yang Jing grinned and said happily: "Brother understands me! Haha!"
After the meeting, Yang Peng went to the lake in the backyard and stared at the sparkling water in a daze. There were footsteps behind him, and Yang Peng came to his senses. Without turning around, he knew who was coming. He smiled and said, "Guanyin!" A chuckle came immediately, and then a cold, slender hand penetrated Yang Peng's hand. On the palm of his hand, a beautiful and wild face appeared in front of Yang Peng's eyes. Yang Peng couldn't help but feel infinite tenderness in his heart. He leaned down and kissed her red lips. Ye Qi Guanyin's beautiful face immediately turned red, her beautiful eyes radiated with wild desire, her slender hands tightly grasped Yang Peng's palm, and said angrily: "You haven't loved me for a long time!"
Yang Peng's heart skipped a beat, but when he thought of the current situation, all his impulses disappeared in an instant! He stretched out his right hand to the back of Ye Qi Guanyin's neck, rubbed it, and then kissed her red lips, saying softly: "When the war is over, big brother will accompany you in Yanjing to play with him for more than ten days!"
Yeqi Guanyin's beautiful eyes lit up, looking very excited. Yang Peng held the slender hand of Yedi Guanyin and turned to look at the lake. Thinking of something, he couldn't help but frown. Ye Qi Guanyin noticed Yang Peng's expression and asked, "Brother, are you thinking about the Japanese?"
Yang Peng chuckled, glanced at Ye Qi Guanyin, and praised: "You're so smart, you guessed it right!" Then he frowned slightly and said, "I wonder how the situation is with Xiang Danian?"
Turning to the hill, Xiang Danian led the 200,000 Yanyun army to fight three battles with the Japanese army of 200,000, and defeated the Japanese in both battles. The Japanese were forced to retreat to the hill. The Yanyun army attacked for several days, but was repelled by the Japanese relying on favorable terrain, and the two sides entered a stalemate.
On this day, the Japanese general Ueno Morinao was discussing matters with his subordinates in the tent, and everyone looked solemn. Senior samurai Ryumoto Taro frowned and said solemnly: "Our navy suffered a huge defeat, and the Khitan people also suffered a massive defeat. They can't rely on them!" Another senior samurai Noda Yoshihiko glared at Ryumoto Taro. , said angrily: "Our military strength is not much less than that of the Yanyun Army. We can definitely defeat them. The final victory must belong to our Yamato nation!"
Taro Ryumoto said: "We fought the Yanyun Army three times in a row before, and we were defeated in each of them! Noda-kun, it is impossible not to admit the facts. Our combat effectiveness is indeed much worse than that of the Yanyun Army. Regardless of the physique, morale, or strength of the Yanyun Army, Their fighting spirit, skills, battle formations, and dedication are all better than ours, and they are extremely well-equipped and even have elite cavalry that we lack! To be honest, let alone 200,000 people are no match for 200,000 people, even if we have Even with an army of 500,000, it will be difficult to defeat them! Without foreign aid, it is hard to say whether they can defeat the Yanyun Army or whether they can break through the encirclement and return to Goryeo!"
Noda Yoshihiko was furious, stood up suddenly, glared at Ryumoto Taro and shouted: "You are letting other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige! Our Japanese samurai are the strongest!" Ryumoto Taro sneered and said: "Facts If you don't admit it, you are not a true samurai!" "Baga!" Yoshihiko Noda cursed, his right hand already pressed on the handle of the sword.
Seeing that the conflict between the two was about to break out, Ueno Mamoru hurriedly said: "You two, what's the use of arguing about this? Shut up!" The two closed their mouths, Noda Yoshihiko glared at Tatsumoto Taro, He sat back angrily.
At this time, a low-level warrior ran in and knelt down and said: "Sir, Lord Nobukawa's messenger is here." Ueno Mamoru's eyes lit up and said: "Bring him in quickly!" The low-level warrior responded and ran Go down. Ueno Morinao glanced at everyone and said: "A few days ago, I sent someone to send a letter asking for help to Lord Nobikawa! As long as Lord Nobukawa's fleet arrives, we can break out of the encirclement through the waterway and enter the sea!"
Noda Yoshihiko said unhappily: "Isn't this an escape?" Ueno Mamoru was so robbed by him that he couldn't get off the stage. He was ashamed and annoyed, and said angrily: "Noda-kun, you are too presumptuous!" Noda Yoshihiko said impulsively. : "Your Excellency is a warrior of the Yamato nation. To run away like this really hurts the dignity of the Yamato nation!" Ueno Mamoru frowned. At this moment, the low-level warrior came in with the dusty messenger.
The low-level warriors bowed down first and stepped aside. Then the messenger paid homage to Ueno Mori Nao: "I am the messenger of Lord Nobukawa. Lord Nobukawa sent me to tell the general that the fleet has entered the Xuanhui River and will reach the hill in one day." Ueno Mori Nao was very happy. Said: "Very good! You go back and greet Mr. Xinchuan for me!" "Hi! If the general has no other instructions, I will rush back to resume my life!" "You go!"
The messenger stood up and exited the tent. At the same time, Xiang Danian and Kou Yan received an urgent report from the scouts, saying that a large fleet had been spotted entering the Xuanhui River. Xiang Danian was startled and said: "Damn it, they must be here to meet the Japanese! The artillery team has just arrived at Yanshan. Without the artillery team, I'm afraid they can't stop the Japanese!" He turned to look at Kou Yan. Kou Yan is the governor of Hebei and is now regarded as Xiang Danian's military advisor. Kou Yan is in charge of Yang Peng's orders and Xiang Danian is the deputy. Therefore, Xiang Danian has to obey Kou Yan's orders.
Kou Yan thought about it and couldn't think of a good solution for a while. The Japanese still controlled the river beach below the hill, and we were unable to prevent the other party from boarding the ship. Unless they cross the river and capture the river beach before the Japanese fleet arrives, this is obviously impossible. Xiang Danian said anxiously: "If these Japanese people escape, we will lose face!"
Kou Yan frowned and said: "It's a small matter to lose face. However, if these tens or hundreds of thousands of our troops are safely withdrawn, I'm afraid it will have a negative impact on other battlefields! If so, our sin will be huge!"
Xiang Danian's eyes narrowed, "Damn it! I will go into battle personally and must capture the river beach within a day!" Kou Yan shook his head and said, "This is almost impossible!" Xiang Danian glared and said, "If you don't give it a try, Try, how do you know it's impossible! Just give the order. If we lose, it will be on me!" Kou Yan said angrily: "If we lose, I will naturally bear the main responsibility!"
Kou Yan frowned, looked at the sand table in front of him, and said: "It is not easy to capture the river beach in front of you in one day!" Xiao Duoli, deputy commander of the Sixth Army, nodded and said: "Although the Japanese are not good at equipment, physique, and tactics. , but they are very brave, and it is difficult to form a formation to attack across the river. The Japanese will definitely swarm and fight to the death. It will be difficult to capture the river beach even in three days, let alone one day!"
Xiang Danian said angrily: "As long as you are determined, you can definitely do it!"
Li Tian looked at Kou Yan and said: "Master Kou, since you are the commander of this battle, it is up to you to decide what to do!" Wan Chun Qiuxia brother and sister nodded, Qiuxia said: "Master Kou, just do it Decide!" Wan Chun and Qiuxia are both deputy generals of the Seventh Army, while Li Tian is the commander of the Seventh Army. Xiang Danian and Xiao Duoli also looked at Kou Yan.
Kou Yan thought for a moment and said decisively: "No matter what, we can't just watch the Japanese slip away from under our noses! We have to give it a try whether it works or not!" Xiang Danian said excitedly: "That's right. ! Without further ado, let’s attack immediately!”
Kou Yan nodded, pointed to the river beach in front of him, and began to assign tasks. …
The sound of war drums sounded loudly, accompanied by the sound of trumpets. Yanyun's army came to the river bank in formation, with swords and spears like a forest, flags like clouds, a formation like a mountain, and dense armor. There was no noise, and they had a murderous atmosphere.
The Japanese troops mobilized one after another and prepared for the attack. The Japanese general Ueno Morinao led a group of generals and warriors to the top of the mountain. Looking down, they couldn't help but feel shuddered when they saw the great military might of the Yanyun Army. Taro Tatsumoto couldn't help but sigh: "Yanyun Xiaorui, it's really amazing!" Yoshihiko Noda snorted and wanted to refute Tatsumoto Taro's words, but he couldn't say anything. He wanted to pretend as if nothing had happened, but His eyes betrayed him. There was clearly a trace of fear in his gently trembling eyes. Although he tried his best to hide it, he couldn't hide it.
Ueno Morinao said to Noda Yoshihiko: "You lead a group of samurai and go to the front line to command in person! Remember, you must not let the Yanyun Army gain a foothold, otherwise the subsequent battle will be difficult to fight!" Noda Yoshihiko was happy! Then he shouted and led his two hundred or so intermediate and low-level warriors to run down the hillside. They rushed to the front line of the river beach and shouted loudly. The content was nothing more than asking the Japanese soldiers to fight to the death. The Japanese soldiers shouted loudly, giving people a crazy feeling.
Dong dong dong dong…! Yan Yun's war drums suddenly sounded loudly and quickly. Ueno Mamoru's eyes narrowed and he said: "The Yanyun people are attacking!" As if in response to his words, five or six thousand Yanyun troops on the other side rushed into the river carrying hundreds of bamboo rafts, and with a burst of water splashing around Splash, Yan Yunjun got on the raft and rushed towards the other side!
Noda Yoshihiko drew his katana, raised it high, and shouted: "Archers, come forward!" The Japanese archers immediately came out, ran to the river bank, pulled out their arrows, put on their bowstrings, and were ready.
The Yanyun Army advanced to the middle of the river. Following an order from a Yanyun officer, many Yanyun Army soldiers raised their crossbows. I saw the Yanyun officer swiping his long sword forward and shouting at the same time. The Yanyun soldiers pulled the triggers together, only to hear a loud buzzing sound, arrows flying suddenly from the river, and the sky suddenly darkened. The arrows flew straight towards the Japanese archers on the other side!
When the Japanese archers saw this, they were startled and dodged one after another. The originally neat archer position immediately became chaotic. The arrows rained down, and the Japanese archers were shot to the ground one after another, and screams were heard. The Japanese archers had not yet recovered from the first round of blows, and the second wave of arrow rain covered the sky again. With a loud crackling sound, the Japanese staggered around, and there were many more corpses on the ground!
Noda Yoshihiko quickly ordered the shield men to step forward to protect the archers. Thousands of shield bearers rushed forward holding large shields made of leather and wood, covering the archers who were already in a mess.
The raft on which the Yanyun Army was riding reached the shoal on the other side, and five to six thousand Yanyun Army soldiers jumped off the raft one after another. The Japanese shield bearers immediately removed their protection, revealing the Japanese archers. The Japanese archers were already ready to attack. As soon as the shield bearers removed their protection, they immediately fired their arrows! The Japanese bows and arrows are different from other bows and arrows. The so-called "long bow and huge arrows are fired at close range". Now the two sides are only a few dozen steps apart, which is the range where the Japanese bows and arrows can exert their power. The scene is darkened, and the huge arrows are like locusts. They rushed towards the landing Yanyun army. With a loud crackling sound, Yanyun soldiers fell to the ground one after another with arrows. Immediately, shield bearers rushed forward and formed layers of shield walls to protect the entire army.
The Japanese's arrows, as dense as locusts, flew in again, and they all hit the iron shield with sparks flying everywhere. As soon as this wave of arrow rain passed, the shield wall quickly spread out, revealing countless soldiers holding powerful crossbows. Yan Yun fired his powerful crossbows together, only to hear a loud roar, and the strong rain of arrows whipped up a gust of wind and rushed towards the enemy! At such a close distance, the shields made of leather and wood could not withstand it at all. With a loud popping sound, the powerful arrows penetrated the shields like cracks and bones and shot into the bodies of the Japanese soldiers. The Japanese shield-hands fell to the ground one after another, as if they were blown by a strong wind. A piece of fallen grass seedling!
The Japanese soldiers were horrified. Before they could react, a second wave of arrows followed. The Japanese lost the protection of their shields, causing even more casualties. The entire army began to retreat.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Noda Yoshihiko couldn't help but have a ferocious impulse in his heart. He swung his sword and slashed several retreating officers. The Japanese soldiers felt awe-inspiring and couldn't help but stop retreating. Noda Yoshihiko raised his bloody katana and shouted sternly: "Don't retreat! The warriors of the Yamato nation are invincible!" Then he swung the katana forward, "Charge! Destroy the Yanyun people!"
The Japanese soldiers gathered their warriors, shouted, and rushed towards Yan Yun's army. A powerful rain of arrows flew towards them, and countless Japanese who were at the head were shot to the ground. However, the Japanese still rushed forward like crazy and roared wildly.
Yanyun's army only had time to send out three waves of arrows with the three-stage shooting method, and the Japanese army had already rushed not far in front of them. They all look crazy, like a herd of frightened wild boars. This kind of charge has a special name in the Japanese culture, "pig burst"!
"Remove the crossbows and charge!" Following the officer's shout, Yan Yunjun put their crossbows back on their backs, pulled out their swords, raised their arm shields, shouted, and faced the Japanese like a tide. In the blink of an eye, the two tides collided heavily. Blood flew in an instant, and many people were knocked to the ground!
Yan Yunjun resisted the opponent's attack with shields or arm shields, and at the same time attacked with long knives, constantly cutting down the Japanese to the ground. With blood flying, more and more Japanese fell to the ground. The fierce tigers fought against the evil wolves, and the tiger's claws passed by. All I saw was flesh and blood flying everywhere! The Japanese were very crazy, screaming strangely, and marching one after another. They seemed not to be afraid of death at all. Although the equipment and combat power of the Yanyun Army were far superior to the Japanese, under the crazy attacks of their opponents, there were still casualties.
A soldier of the Yanyun Army waved his arm shield upward with his left hand, deflected the Japanese spear ashigaru on the opposite side, and stabbed the ashigaru with the spear. Then he swung the sword with his right hand and pointed it at the ashigaru's head! When the ashigaru saw the cold light coming towards his head, his expression changed drastically and he wanted to dodge, but his body no longer obeyed his orders, and he couldn't help but feel infinite fear! With a click, the long knife in the Yanyun soldier's hand cut open the ashigaru's face. Blood and brain matter burst out. The ashigaru didn't even have time to scream before he fell into a pool of blood! However, at this moment, a strange scream suddenly came from one side! The Yanyun soldiers were startled, and quickly turned around to look, and saw a Japanese warrior striding forward with a samurai sword raised high.
With a roar, the samurai sword struck his head. Yanyun's soldier reacted very quickly and immediately raised his arm shield. With a snap, the katana struck the arm shield. The arm shield equipped by the Yanyun soldiers had an iron hook. The katana struck the arm shield. Sparks flew everywhere, and the Yanyun soldiers naturally hooked it. He picked up his katana and headed outside. The Japanese warrior's right arm could not help but be taken away, and the middle door immediately opened wide. The Japanese warrior was startled, and then he saw the opponent slashing at his head with a sword! At the critical moment, the Japanese warrior subconsciously dodged to one side, and the long sword slashed in front of the Japanese warrior, almost decapitating him!
The Japanese warrior was sweating coldly on his back. He was frightened and angry. He immediately lowered his body and spun at the same time. The samurai sword immediately got out of the trap and followed the Japanese warrior's body in a circle. Then he stabbed the Yanyun soldier in the waist and ribs from another direction. , the angle is extremely tricky! The Yanyun soldier was raising his sword and wanted to attack again. He didn't expect his opponent's counterattack to come so quickly and cunningly. He couldn't dodge it. He only heard a thud and the samurai sword pierced his waist! The Yanyun soldiers snorted!
The Japanese warrior succeeded with one blow and was very excited, with a bloodthirsty smile on his face. However, he was happy too early! Just when he was about to draw out his samurai sword and chop off his opponent's head, he never expected that the Yanyun soldier who had been pierced by him suddenly stretched out his left hand and grabbed his arm tightly! Frightened, he hurriedly tried to withdraw his katana, but his opponent's force was so strong that he couldn't do it for a moment! Looking up at the Yanyun soldier, he was shocked to see that his expression was extremely brave. The Japanese warrior who had always killed people was immediately horrified, and his whole soul seemed to be compressed into a small ball by the opponent's momentum!
The Yanyun soldier roared angrily, and the long sword in his right hand suddenly fell down, as powerful as splitting a mountain! The Japanese warrior could not dodge. In his extremely horrified gaze, his head flew up with a click and fell to the ground far away. The Yanyun soldier's body swayed and he leaned over the headless corpse of the Japanese warrior.
The Yanyun soldiers were like fierce tigers fighting a pack of wolves, with flesh and blood flying everywhere where the blades passed. Although the Japanese soldiers were extremely crazy and their number was twice that of the Yanyun army, they were still gradually exhausted!
After all, what happened next will be explained later.
