Yang Peng secretly left Bianliang and went to Yanjing. Everything has been arranged, so there is nothing to worry about. Before leaving, Yang Peng specifically talked to Chai Yonghui and asked her to arrange for Yang Gui to meet Zhou Bingqian. It turned out that Yang Peng not long ago sent an order to Yang Yanzhao to send Yang Gui to Bianliang on a business trip. He said it was a business trip, but in fact it was to choose a son-in-law for Zhou Bingqian. In Yang Peng's heart, he really regarded Zhou Bingqian as his biological sister. , so he naturally started to worry about her marriage.
Yang Peng and his party rushed to Yanjing day and night without any delay on the way. A few days later, they entered the city of Yanjing. Important civil and military officials from Yanjing came to pay homage to Yang Peng. Yang Peng asked Yang Jiumei: "What is the situation in the Liao Kingdom?" Yang Jiumei frowned and said: "The situation is urgent. The enemy's forwards have engaged our army several times! There have been casualties on each other!"
Yang Peng stood up and walked to the sand table that Yang Jiumei and others had prepared. Yang Jiumei pointed at Tanzhou and said: "Currently, General Manager Cao Jun is gathering heavy troops near Tanzhou, preparing to fight the main force of the enemy. In addition to the necessary troops to defend various key points, all our army's departments have already gathered near Tanzhou. The total strength exceeds Four hundred thousand."
Yang Peng thought about it: Although the 400,000 heavy troops are a lot, compared with the opponent's 800,000 troops and the 200,000 Korean troops, they seem a bit weak. This battle will never be easy!
Yang Peng asked: "Are all the opponent's forces concentrated in front of Tanzhou?" Yang Jiumei nodded, "Yes. Then Yeli Hucheng must know that there is no advantage in the strategy, so he wants to defeat skill with clumsiness!" Pointing to various key points on the border between Liao and Yanyun, "He deployed elite troops at various passes to prevent our army from advancing with surprise troops. At the same time, he sent heavy troops from Gubei Pavilion southward, creating a situation where Mount Tai was overwhelming the top of our army and forcing our army to do so." Instead of fighting a decisive battle! Although I don’t want to admit it, I have to say that the current situation is indeed influenced by him, and it is developing according to his intentions! "
Yang Peng looked at the map and thought for a moment, then asked: "Is the food, grass and baggage enough?" Yang Jiumei said: "The King of Yan can rest assured, the food, grass and baggage are already in place, which can support the 600,000 troops for half a year!" Yang Peng turned his head. He said to Yang Jiumei, "I'll leave the rest of this to you. I'm going to the front line." Yang Jiumei bowed and agreed.
On the same day, Yang Peng led Yin Sha and rushed to Tanzhou. Along the way north, I saw a large flow of people on the official roads, and tens of thousands of people escaped under the official organization. However, although the scene was huge, it was not chaotic at all. The people may have been used to this situation and did not feel panic. Some children were still laughing and playing. The scene was like following adults on a spring outing. The further north you go, the more desolate it becomes, and the number of people becomes fewer and fewer. One day later, Yang Peng and his party arrived in Tanzhou. They saw only military camps and teams of mobilized soldiers and horses, and no common people could be seen. .
When Cao Jun and other generals heard that King Yan was coming, they hurried out to greet him. When they saw Yang Peng, they worshiped together: "Greetings to King Yan (elder brother)!" Yang Peng stepped into the tent, and the generals followed. Yang Peng sat down at the top, glanced at the generals, and finally landed on Cao Jun on the left, and asked: "How is the situation now?"
Cao Jun clasped his fists and said: "The enemy's large force has not yet been fully positioned, but their 100,000 forwards have passed Gubei Pavilion and set up camp more than 30 miles north of Tanzhou, relying on the steep terrain. This one The forwards were all Mongolian cavalry. Two days ago, they suddenly crossed the Gubei Pavilion, rushed forward, and raided our military camp outside the city. They almost succeeded. The two sides fought a battle, each other suffered casualties, and finally ended with them retreating on their own initiative. ."
Yang Peng murmured: "Mongolian cavalry?" Cao Jun nodded and said: "Yes. The general leading the army is the Mongolian general Lakshen, and the deputy general is..." Yang Peng felt strange when he saw Liu Qi's expression was different, and then his heart moved. , asked: "Is the deputy general Yang Xiong?"
Yang Peng nodded. Yang Jing shouted: "This bastard is a bastard. I, Yang Jing, will chop him into pieces!"
Yang Peng thought: "If we can take advantage of the enemy's main force and defeat this Mongolian cavalry in one fell swoop, it will be very beneficial to the soldiers in the next battle!" At this point, Yan Nian raised his head and ordered: "Gather all the soldiers Cavalry, counterattack the enemy!" Yang Jing shouted excitedly: "It should have been like this a long time ago!" Cao Jun frowned and said: "The Mongolian war cavalry is by no means comparable to the Liao army's war cavalry. Their combat power is very powerful! All the war cavalry in our army are also It's only 110,000, so I'm afraid it's impossible to defeat the enemy army in a short time!" Yang Jing shouted angrily: "You are too courageous!" Cao Jun frowned, but did not refute. Yang Peng shouted at Yang Jing with a stern face: "Yang Jing must not be rude!" Yang Jing curled his lips, clasped his fists towards Cao Jun and said: "Manager, I, Yang Jing, don't speak well, so don't be offended!" Cao Jun said with a smile: " General Yang is a man of true temperament, how could I be so offended! On the other hand, I am indeed a little too cautious!" Yang Jing smiled and said, "It's good that the general manager knows!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Yang Peng shook his head angrily and said to Cao Jun: "Although it is difficult to win, you still have to try." Cao Jun promised with clasped fists. Seeing that Cao Jun had no objection, Yang Peng immediately ordered all the troops and cavalry to assemble. Cao Jun agreed and immediately issued the order. Yang Peng said again: "I will personally lead this battle. Manager Liu, you will be in charge of Tanzhou!" Cao Jun clasped his fists and promised.
The 110,000 warriors from each legion quickly gathered together. Yang Peng raised his voice to the soldiers: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy! Yan Yun will win!" The 110,000 tiger and wolf warriors roared in unison: "Yan Yun will win!" Yun will win! Yan Yun will win!" The sound shook the sky like thunder and tide. Immediately, 110,000 war cavalry surged northward under the leadership of Yang Peng.
Lakshen received an urgent report from the scouts and learned that the Yanyun Cavalry Brigade was coming with a fierce momentum. He was not surprised. There was excitement in his eyes, and he immediately ordered the entire army to assemble. The entire Liao army camp was in motion. One hundred thousand Mongolian warriors quickly left the barracks and formed a huge battle formation with their backs to the barracks and mountains, quietly waiting for the appearance of Yan Yun's army. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses were fighting in silence. Except for the occasional sound of horses neighing and the wind blowing flags, there was no noise at all! These Mongolian war cavalry are indeed rare and powerful in the world!
Not long after, I saw a sturdy knight appearing on the grassy slope in the distance, standing on horseback with his spear drawn, which was touching! Immediately afterwards, countless knights appeared behind him, flowing over the grassy slope like a tide, approaching slowly and slowly.
Lakshen got excited and raised his right hand. An officer next to him immediately picked up the horn and blew it, woo woo woo...! The Mongolian war cavalry stared at the approaching enemy troops and prepared to attack. Suddenly, the sound of the trumpet became shorter, and the five thousand forward warriors roared loudly, urging the horses to rush out, roaring and killing the Yan Yun army who had just arrived on the battlefield, like a large group of bloodthirsty wolves! This is one of the common tactics of the Mongolian army. The army waits for work, and then suddenly launches an attack when the enemy has just arrived on the battlefield and has not yet changed from marching to fighting. If the opponent is not elite enough or strong enough, he will often be caught by this sudden charge. Catch him off guard and shake the whole army, and the main force of the Mongolian army can take this opportunity to sweep the opponent away and win in one fell swoop!
Yan Yun's army faced the enemy's surprise attack. Suddenly, horns sounded in the army, and five thousand war cavalry shouted and charged. Iron hoofs raised smoke and dust all over the sky. People like tigers, horses and dragons rushed towards the enemy's war cavalry like a tide. The Yanyun Army is the elite in the world, so it is naturally impossible for them to be disrupted by this trick of the Mongolian Army.
Five thousand Yanyun war cavalry met five thousand Mongolian war cavalry. Although it was just a forward battle before the official battle, it was extremely powerful and astonishing! In the blink of an eye, the Mongolian war cavalry first fired a wave of arrows at the Yanyun war cavalry. The arrows streaked across the sky and fell into the wave of Yanyun war cavalry, causing countless ripples. Many Yanyun war cavalry Fall down! However, this did not stop the charge of Yan Yun War Cavalry, but made them go crazy. They were like ferocious beasts that saw blood, exuding a heart-stopping wild murderous aura!
The Mongolian war horsemen wanted to continue firing arrows, but when they saw their opponents struggling to throw javelins, they gave up shooting and hid under the horse's belly with their superb riding skills. The javelins rained down, and although the Mongolian knights had already hid under the belly of the horse, the heavy and sharp javelins still caused a rain of blood in the torrent. The Mongolian warriors fell on their backs, causing heavy casualties! After the rain of javelins passed, the Mongolian knights rolled back into their saddles. At this time, the distance between the two sides was very close. The Mongolian knights pulled out their scimitars, raised them high, and let out strange screams like wild beasts preying on them! The knights of Yanyun straightened up their horses or drew out their swords. The light of the swords reflected on the brave and fearless faces of the knights of Yanyun!
In the blink of an eye, the warriors from both sides collided violently! The sound of slashing and killing suddenly broke out, mixed with the roars of the soldiers on both sides and the neighing of the horses. Blood and flesh were flying everywhere on the scene, people were turned upside down, and the soldiers of both sides fell off their horses one after another! The main forces on both sides did not join the battle, they just watched the bloody killing!
The brutal bloody battle only lasted for two quarters of an hour, and both sides' war horses suffered heavy casualties. The battlefield was littered with corpses. The seriously injured horses struggled to stand up, but they couldn't do it no matter what. The bloody battle continued. Gradually, the Yanyun War Cavalry began to gain the upper hand. However, although the Mongolian War Cavalry was in an increasingly disadvantageous situation, they refused to retreat. They were all like mad beasts, howling and fighting desperately! Half an hour later, all 5,000 Mongolian war cavalry were killed, and the remaining 1,800 Yanyun war cavalry were all injured and immediately lay among the blood and blood of the corpses. A seriously injured Yanyun warrior suddenly fell off his horse and could not get up again.
The Mongolian soldiers were all furious, and at the same time there was an unconvinced look in their eyes. They all looked at the general, waiting for his order to fight with the Yanyun people!
Lakshen stared at the bloody scene in front of him and felt the blood all over his body boiling. At this moment, Yang Xiong came to Lakshen and whispered: "General, Yanyun's army is more powerful than ours. We should retreat to the camp and defend it to the death!"
Lakshen glared at Yang Xiong and shouted: "Do you want me to run away? We Mongolians only have warriors who die in battle, and there are no cowards who run away!" Seeing his unkind expression, Yang Xiong did not dare to say anything more, but cursed secretly in his heart. Incessantly.
Yan Yun's remaining knights returned to the army. At this time, Yan Yun's army had already formed a military formation. Huyan Chijin, the commander of the formation-breaking army directly under the army, rode alone between the two sides, reined in his horse, and shouted: "I am Huyan Chijin, the commander of Yanyun's formation-breaking army, who dares to come out and die!"
When the Mongolian warriors heard the obvious contempt in the other party's words, they couldn't help but became furious and asked for a fight. Lakshen was also furious. If he hadn't been the coach and couldn't easily go into battle, he would have already ridden his horse to fight. After glancing at the angry generals, his eyes fell on the most burly and majestic Mongolian general among them. This man's name was Xiong Ba. He was a famous warrior among the Mongols. He was so powerful that he could use an iron rod as thick as an arm. Injured and dead, even wearing heavy armor is of little use. Lakshen said loudly: "Xiong Ba, come on! Don't embarrass us Mongols!" Xiong Ba promised excitedly and galloped out of the military formation.
Xiong Ba came to Huyan Chijin, pointed an iron rod at Huyan Chijin and shouted. He was speaking in Mongolian. Huyan Chijin was confused, but he thought it was not a good thing after all, so he pretended not to talk nonsense to him. , shouted loudly, urged the war horse and rushed towards Xiong Ba. Xiong Ba was very excited when he saw that Huyan Chijin was here. He screamed and waved his iron rod to greet him.
In the blink of an eye, the two horses crossed each other, and there was only a loud clang sound, and their weapons collided violently in mid-air. Immediately, the two horses passed by each other, each took more than ten steps, and turned their horses' heads. Huyan Chijin only felt soreness and numbness in his right hand, and was surprised in his heart. He thought to himself: "This Mongolian is so powerful!" ’ I saw the Mongolian warrior charging forward with another strange cry. The blood in his heart couldn’t help boiling. He shouted and urged his horse to meet him. The two sides fought like this repeatedly for several rounds, regardless of the outcome, and then they became entangled and started fighting. Xiong Ba's iron rod danced like a tiger, and every stroke seemed to be able to crack mountains and rocks, which was amazing; while Huyan Chijin was better because of his exquisite moves and fast speed. The horse stick in his hand flew up and down like a swimming dragon, avoiding the heavy and taking the light, grabbing Strike back quickly when the opportunity arises. The two fought so hard that it was impossible to tell the winner for a while.
The two sides continued to fight until one hundred moves, but there was no winner. After two hundred moves, they were still inseparable. Xiong Ba was so good at killing that he ignored Ma Shan, who was rushing towards him from the left. He raised his iron bar and smashed it down on Huyan Chijin's head, as if he was going to die together! Huyan Chijin frowned. At this time, he had every chance to dodge the opponent's extremely sharp blow in time. However, at this moment, his blood could not help but surge up and he tried his best. He only turned slightly to one side and held the gun in his hand. Ma Shan still ran towards the opponent's chest!
Snapped! There was a loud noise, and the iron rod hit Huyan Chijin's left shoulder heavily. At the same time, blood flew, and Ma Shan stabbed into Xiong Ba's left shoulder with a pop. The two warriors who faced ten thousand enemies groaned at the same time. Although they both wanted to persist, they fell off their horses involuntarily!
When the soldiers on both sides saw this, they were shocked. Dozens of horsemen immediately ran out of their respective formations, rescued their own generals, and then retreated into the formation.
The generals on both sides fought hard, regardless of the outcome, but the fighting spirit of the soldiers on both sides became even higher! The shouts rang out one after another, soaring into the sky, causing all the birds within a few dozen miles to fly away.
Yang Peng raised his horse, and the front line of the battle formation separated, revealing the majestic Yanwang cavalry, which was wrapped in thick armor like an iron man and an iron horse. The strongest elite among them. The 60,000 cavalrymen in the legion directly under Yanyun have all been adapted into heavy armored cavalry, of which 20,000 are King Yan's cavalry).
Since the Yanyun Army had previously hidden the heavy armored cavalry behind them, the Mongolian Army had never noticed it. When they suddenly saw it, they couldn't help but be shocked. Luan Tingyu had a look of fear on her face and murmured: "The King of Yan's Cavalry! It's the King of Yan's Cavalry!!"
The horns of Yan Yun's army sounded loudly, and the 10,000 King Yan's cavalry slowly started to move. Although the speed was not fast, it was as heavy as a mountain, and the whole earth was shaking! Lakshen immediately ordered his most elite 10,000 warriors to fight. Ten thousand Mongolian war cavalry, led by several Mongol warriors, rushed out with shouts and met the King of Yan's cavalry, which was advancing like a mountain. These Mongolian war cavalry have burly knights and majestic horses. They are all as powerful as tigers and roar like wild beasts. They are obviously elites who are not afraid of death! Moreover, the equipment of these Mongolian war cavalry is also different from other Mongolian war cavalry. The armor is obviously much thicker, and they are all equipped with a special broad-bladed long knife, which is a long knife suitable for fighting on horseback and can cut through heavy armor. .
King Yan's cavalry saw the opponent's cavalry approaching and started to activate. Amidst the loud rumbling noise, a deeper sound can be clearly heard, getting louder and louder, more and more alarming! After a while, King Yan's cavalry charged at full speed. The cavalry from both sides collided at high speed. Their momentum was many times stronger than that of the previous forward battle. It was as if two terrifying giant waves were colliding! You can imagine how thrilling their collision will be! As they continued to get closer, everyone couldn't help but feel their hearts in their throats!
In the blink of an eye, the two 'big waves' collided violently, and the whole world seemed to tremble suddenly! Immediately afterwards, I saw the Mongolian cavalry rushing into the middle of King Yan's cavalry, slashing fiercely with their swords, and the clanging sound was heard, even on this rumbling battlefield, it was extremely clear! However, the heroic slashing of the Mongolian knights did not bring about the sight of King Yan's cavalry flipping over, but countless sparks were shot out. It turns out that the Mongolian cavalry's specially-made broadsword, specially designed to cut through heavy armor, was unable to cut through the armor of King Yan's cavalry. It could only stir up some beautiful sparks!
At the same time, the King of Yan's cavalry was not polite to the Mongolian cavalry. The mace flew in his hand and landed on the opponent's horse. The opponent flipped over and landed on the opponent's head, causing his brains to burst and flesh to fly everywhere. Wherever the tooth stick passes, there is no way to stop it!
The war horses from both sides passed each other, turned their horses' heads, and faced each other again. After several rounds of this, more than half of the Mongolian cavalry were dead or wounded, but the King of Yan's cavalry did not suffer many casualties. Their armors were covered with the blood of the enemy, making them look even more ferocious and terrifying than before!
Lakshen and others saw that King Yan's cavalry killed and wounded most of their own cavalry, but there were not many casualties, and they couldn't help but be horrified. Immediately, Lakshen calmed down and knew that facing the enemy head-on was no match for King Yan's cavalry, so he immediately ordered the army to retreat.
The horn of the Mongolian army sounded, but the Mongolian cavalry who was fighting fiercely with King Yan's cavalry did not retreat. Instead, they attacked King Yan's cavalry even more frantically. At the same time, the main force of the Mongolian army quickly retreated towards the military camp.
Yang Peng raised his iron horse and waved it forward, and a hundred thousand war cavalry launched, bypassing the fighting battlefield and killing the retreating enemy troops from the left and right wings. However, the enemy troops were all war cavalry, and the Yanyun war cavalry could not catch up at all. In the end, they watched the Mongolian war cavalry retreat into the military camp.
Yang Peng took advantage of the situation and launched a fierce attack. One hundred thousand Yanyun war cavalry crashed into the opponent's defense line one after another like waves. The Mongolian army felt extremely heavy pressure, and the defense lines were full of dangers. Suddenly there was a loud noise from the camp gate in front, and Yang Peng personally commanded tens of thousands of heavily armored warriors to break through the Mongolian defenses and rush into the military camp. Lakshen was shocked and immediately commanded all his troops to fight back. The two sides fought bloody battles in the military camp. The battle was extremely brutal! The Mongolian army was not afraid of death, and they fought back with all their might, fighting one after another! However, the combat power of Yanyun's heavy armored cavalry was too terrifying. The Mongolian army's desperate counterattack was like a tide hitting a boulder. Although the momentum was amazing, it would inevitably end up being shattered to pieces!
The military camp was already full of corpses and blood. The Mongolian army suffered heavy casualties, but they still continued to counterattack against the Yanyun army. At this time, the casualties of the Yanyun Army were also quite large, but with the Yanwang Cavalry and the Formation-breaking Cavalry as the vanguard, the situation was much better than that of the Mongolian army. They were gradually compressing the Mongolian army inward. The results are constantly expanding.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Lakshen was filled with grief and anger. However, as a general, he was clearly aware that the situation was urgent. If he didn't make a decisive decision, all the soldiers and horses would be ruined here! Although he was very reluctant, Lakshen finally gave the order for the entire army to retreat.
The Mongolian army began to retreat, but unlike other armies that were defeated once they retreated, although the Mongolian army was defeated and retreated, it was defeated but not in disorder. A small number of cavalry stayed behind and risked their lives, while the large army left in an orderly manner. battlefield.
Yang Peng saw that the opponent's large army was leaving the battlefield, and he was anxious. He wanted to use his army to pounce on them and wipe them out in one fell swoop. However, they were desperately entangled by the opponent's small army and could not escape at all. After finally wiping out the opponent's small force behind them, the opponent's large force was already far away. The opponent was all cavalry, so it was obviously impossible to pursue them. Yang Peng ordered all armies to stop pursuing and clean the battlefield. At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky seemed to be stained with blood, while the earth was littered with corpses! Although the Mongolian army suffered heavy losses, and although the Yanyun army won, the losses were also very considerable! Although the Yanyun Army won this battle, no one in the Yanyun Army felt relaxed! Everyone can't help but feel admiration for the Mongolian cavalry!
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
