"Your Majesty, quickly, retreat quickly!" A general rushed to Yelu Longqing and said in panic. Yelu Longqing suddenly pulled out his machete and chopped off his head with one blow. Seeing such a scene, the surrounding soldiers couldn't help but feel trembling in their hearts. Yelu Longqing shouted sternly: "I am the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, and I will never retreat!" When the soldiers heard these heroic words, their blood boiled and they roared in unison. The morale of the Liao army was already on the verge of collapse. At this moment, it turned out that Miraculously bounced back.

Yelu Longqing pointed a bloody scimitar at the advancing Yanyun army and shouted: "The whole army is fighting back!!" All the soldiers roared in unison, and immediately divided into three groups to meet the Yanyun army that broke into the camp from three directions. At the same time, those Liao soldiers who had fled in defeat also turned around and rejoined the battle.

The war situation has entered a new stage. Hundreds of thousands of Liao troops risked their lives to fight back desperately. The Yanyun army was originally overwhelming, but now it is gradually contained. The entire military camp was like a melting pot. The Yan Yun army moved forward indomitably, while the Liao army tried their best to block it. Their swords flashed and flesh and blood flew everywhere! Gradually, the Liao Army formed a stalemate with the Yanyun Army, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable for the Yanyun Army! It is true that the Yanyun Army is invincible, but after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great. If the hundreds of thousands of Liao troops are no longer afraid of risking their lives in a fight, it is absolutely impossible to win with the 80,000 Yanyun Army, and it is even possible Being surrounded by the opponent's absolutely superior force and the entire army was annihilated!

Yan Yun's warriors and soldiers gradually felt trapped in an endless wave of enemy troops. The enemy troops seemed to be endless, and they were simply invincible! Yang Dezheng felt that it was not an option to continue like this, so he turned to look at the enemy Wang Qi, his eyes focused. He immediately roared angrily, mobilized his war horse, waved a pair of copper hammers to break through the enemy group, and went straight towards Yelu Longqing. Zhan Jinguo had the same idea as him, and he also jumped on his horse and danced his spear to kill Yelu Longqing. The second general marched forward bravely and killed all the Liao army officers and soldiers. No one could stop them. In the blink of an eye, they killed the enemy group and approached Yelu Longqing!

The tent guards guarding Yelu Longqing roared and rode up to meet him. Yang Dezheng occupied the Jin Kingdom and ran into the enemy group. He waved his weapons and saw flesh and blood flying everywhere. The Liao army was penetrated in an instant.

When Wahid and the other four generals guarding the tent saw the enemy approaching with great ferocity, they immediately shouted, urged their horses, and waved their swords to face them. Yang Dezheng and Zhan Jinguo fought two enemy generals respectively. Yang Dezheng's bronze hammer danced like a tiger, while the iron horse in Zhan Jinguo's hand looked like a poisonous dragon coming out of its cave. The four generals who guarded the tent were ranked first with two. , even fell behind, I couldn’t help but feel horrified!

The two sides fought fiercely for more than ten rounds. Yang Dezheng suddenly roared and smashed a pair of copper hammers from top to bottom towards the enemy general on the left like a mountain pressing down on him. The enemy would use a big sword. Seeing that the opponent's move was extremely powerful, , in shock, he hurriedly raised his sword to resist! There was only a loud snapping sound, and the sword suddenly broke from it. The enemy general changed his color in shock. Before he could react, the opponent's pair of copper hammers hit him hard on the chest! There was a loud click, and at the last moment the enemy general only saw that his chest and his heavy armor collapsed! The enemy general screamed and fell off his horse. Then Yang Dezheng withdrew his bronze hammer and swept towards another enemy general. The enemy general was in shock when he saw that the opponent's bronze hammer turned towards him. In horror, Dodge in a hurry!

Yang Dezheng forced the enemy general back, and instead of taking advantage of the situation to attack, he urged his horses to rush toward Yelu Longqing. At the same time, the Kingdom of Zhanjin also forced away the two enemy generals who were besieging it, and went towards Yelu Longqing to kill him. At this time, Yelu Longqing was surrounded by soldiers guarding the tent. Everyone held large shields and steel knives, guarding Yelu Longqing tightly.

Yang Dezheng wielded a copper hammer to knock down the enemy, and Zhan Jinguo wielded an iron horse to kill the enemy. The enemy army could not stop them, but their defense was very strong. Even with the bravery of Yang Dezheng and Zhan Jinguo, it was difficult to break through for a while. , but the generals of the Liao army are rushing to rescue them desperately, and the two generals have no time.

Yang Dezheng was anxious, roared angrily, raised his right hand upward, and flew towards Yelu Longqing who was surrounded by soldiers with a roar. When Yelu Longqing saw the heavy copper hammer roaring towards him, he couldn't help but change his color in shock. At the critical moment, he no longer cared about his image and quickly rolled sideways off the saddle. Almost at the same time, a heavy copper hammer whizzed past from above, and then hit the imperial flag of Xiliao heavily with a loud bang! Although the flagpole was as thick as a child's arm, it couldn't withstand such a powerful impact. The flagpole broke with a click and collapsed suddenly!

When Zhan Jinguo saw this, his heart suddenly moved. He immediately raised his voice and shouted in a slightly stiff Khitan language: "The Emperor of Xiliao is dead! The Emperor of Xiliao is dead!..." General Yanyun, who knew Khitan, In order to cheer up, they started shouting. For a moment, the whole military camp could only hear shouts of "The Emperor of Xiliao is dead! The Emperor of Xiliao is dead!" The officers and soldiers of the Liao army were shocked. They all looked in the direction of the imperial flag. They were shocked to find that the imperial flag had collapsed. The place where His Majesty the Emperor was originally was already in chaos! When the officers and soldiers of the Liao army saw this scene and heard the shouts of "The Emperor of Xiliao is dead" coming from their ears, they believed it and believed that His Majesty the Emperor had really been killed. Their fighting spirit instantly dissipated, and some people began to run for their lives.

At this time, the Yanyun army from three directions took advantage of the momentum to attack fiercely, killing one step at a time, moving forward indomitably! The Liao army could no longer resist and began to collapse! Yelu Longqing got back on his horse and shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the situation. However, the defeat was already irreversible!

The Liao army was defeated like a mountain, and they escaped from the barracks in waves. Yan Yun's army killed them mercilessly. There was blood flying everywhere and heart-rending screams everywhere. Yelu Longqing urgently ordered the troops guarding the tent to cut off the rear, and at the same time ordered the army to retreat toward the west. Although it was such a critical moment, Yelu Longqing still did not panic.

The Liao army's tent guards desperately blocked Yan Yun's army and finally bought some time for the evacuation of their own large forces. After Yan Yun's army annihilated the tent-protecting army, they pursued westward. Yelu Longqing led the defeated army to retreat dozens of miles west of Xiliang Mansion. Seeing that the originally powerful army had turned into a bereaved dog, he couldn't help but be furious! At this time, a scout caught up from behind and reported with a panic look on his face: "Your Majesty, it's bad, Yan Yun's army is catching up!" Yelu Longqing shouted coldly: "Why are you panic!" The scout's heart trembled.

Yelu Longqing thought for a moment and immediately said to Wahid, the general who guarded the tent: "Wahid, you immediately lead 10,000 cavalry to Rouge Mountain and prepare for defense!" Wahid agreed and immediately led 10,000 cavalry. The horse galloped towards the west.

Yelu Longqing immediately ordered to the generals around him: "The rest of the soldiers and horses are arrayed on the spot to fight the Yanyun Army! We in Daliao will never be defeated, and victory will definitely belong to us in the end!" The morale of the generals was very low, but now they heard that After hearing Yelu Longqing's words, their morale was boosted and they shouted in unison.

Yelu Longqing led hundreds of thousands of defeated troops to form a large formation on the spot. Soon after, I saw the dust in front of me, and the Yan Yun Army was coming! The Liao army officers and soldiers couldn't help but become nervous. Yelu Longqing shouted: "Get ready!" The Liao army soldiers shouted in unison, staring at the rapidly approaching Yan Yun army, pursed their lips!

The Yanyun army came to the Liao army's formation, formed a fighting formation, and faced the Liao army at a distance. Immediately, Yanyun's war drums sounded loudly, and Yang Dezheng gave a fierce shout and led 500 elite volcano troops to rush out of the military formation, while Zhan Jinguo also led 2,000 Xuanjia troops to rush out of the military formation. The two armies, one on the left and the other on the right, went straight towards the enemy's flanks. At the same time, Yang Yanzhao led the army towards the Liao army.

Two Yanyun elites crashed into the Liao army formation at the same time, risking their own lives and moving forward bravely. The Liao army had not yet recovered from the previous disastrous defeat, but now they were suddenly rushed into the formation by the opponent's elite troops, and they were immediately panicked. Without warning, the formation immediately began to waver! Yelu Longqing was shocked and ordered the soldiers to resist! At this moment, Yan Yun's main force, commanded by Yang Yanzhao, arrived and charged into the formation like a furious wave! The Liao army officers and soldiers could not resist and began to collapse.

Yelu Longqing frowned and decisively ordered all the cavalry to be cut off and the infantry to retreat. The Liao army's cavalry, led by the two generals who guarded the tent, fought desperately to block the attack. However, in less than an hour, they felt that they could not resist it. They were defeated like a mountain and the remaining army fled in a desperate attempt! Yan Yunjun continues to pursue!

After chasing to the foot of Yanzi Mountain, they were intercepted by 10,000 Liao troops. The Yanyun army relied on the momentum of victory to attack bravely. The morale of the Liao army was turbulent. They only resisted for less than an hour before they were broken through by Yan Yun's army and fled westward. The Yanyun Army crossed Rouge Mountain and directed its troops towards Xuanhua Prefecture. Ten thousand Liao Army infantry stopped the Yanyun Army in Xuanhua Prefecture. The two sides fought fiercely. The Yanyun Army broke through the city and recaptured Xuanhua Prefecture, and then continued to advance westward. In this way, Suzhou, Guazhou and Shazhou were recovered along the way, and the troops came to Yumen Pass. Yang Yanzhao took advantage of Ruhong's momentum and immediately attacked the city. The Liao army resisted desperately. The two sides fought fiercely for a day and night, both suffering heavy losses. In the end, the Yanyun army failed to break through Yumen Pass.

Seeing that Yumen Pass was difficult to break and that his own soldiers were very tired, Yang Yanzhao decisively ordered a halt to the attack. The troops retreated to the sandbank to rest and confront the Liao army at Yumen Pass.

The news of the victory soon spread to Bianliang. The people who were originally worried about their own army were so excited when they heard such a great news, and the whole city became lively.

After seeing the good news sent by Yang Yanzhao's fast horse, Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "After so many days, I finally heard some good news!" Zhang Xiang said excitedly: "I didn't expect General Yang to actually Can he defeat the Liao army!?" Yeqi Guanyin couldn't help but nodded and said: "It's really unexpected! Originally, I just hoped that he could delay the advance of the Liao army as much as possible. After all, there are 500,000 Liao army, so Yelu Longqing can He can be called a world-famous general! I didn’t expect that he could defeat 500,000 Liao troops in one fell swoop with 100,000 troops!”

Huang Qiaoyun said: "No wonder eldest brother often said that General Yang is an unparalleled general who can only be seen in a thousand years! When I heard eldest brother say this, I thought it was a bit exaggerated. Now it seems that General Yang is really a well-deserved unparalleled general! I didn't expect that he would dare to At the expense of giving up so many prefectures and counties, we lured the enemy deeper!" Then he smiled and said: "Originally I just hoped that Ningxia could delay the Western Liao army to buy time for victory in other directions, but now this is really an unexpected surprise!"

Everyone smiled, and Yeqi Guanyin thought: "Although General Yang has won a great victory, the situation is still not optimistic! Yelu Longqing is not simple. Although he was defeated, he fought hard and finally stood at Yumen Pass. Stand firm! There are still nearly 300,000 troops left in Xiliao. I'm afraid they won't give up here. General Yang and the others will still face heavy pressure!" After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but feel excited and joyful. Worry was replaced, Huang Qiaoyun smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry! Previously, Yelu Longqing attacked with half a million men and was defeated by our army! How can he be our army's opponent now?" Everyone couldn't help but wonder. He laughed and felt much relieved.

Huang Qiaoyun asked Ye Qi Guanyin in confusion: "Sister Ye Qi, since General Yang has planned to lure the enemy deeper into the country at the expense of abandoning many prefectures and counties, why did he send an elite army to fight to the death with the Liao army at Yumen Pass? Woolen cloth?"

Yeqi Guanyin praised: "This is the brilliance of General Yang! If he hadn't done this, with Yelu Longqing's resourcefulness, he would have suspected that General Yang had used a trick to lure the enemy in. Therefore, he must use an elite force to attack There was a bloody battle with the Liao army at Yumen Gate! Only after such a bloody battle, Yelu Longqing would not doubt, would be fooled, and would have a chance to defeat him! General Yang ambushed outside Xiliang Mansion, and he was also careful It has been considered. Because once the Liao army thinks that our army's defense has collapsed, they will definitely want to sweep across the entire Ningxia region as quickly as possible in order to take the initiative strategically. In this way, they will be the most exhausted when they reach the west of Xiliang Mansion. It was also the most unprepared time! The attack at this time hit their weak spot! Facts have proved that all General Yang's plans were correct and brilliant. Our army of 80,000 actually defeated the opponent's fifty soldiers in one fell swoop. Wan Dajun! This cannot but be said to be a miracle!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Huang Qiaoyun asked curiously: "Sister Yeyi and eldest brother can do it, right?" Yeyi Guanyin smiled and said: "I can't say, but eldest brother can definitely do it!" Everyone's eyes couldn't help but reveal infinite expressions. Come with a look of admiration. Huang Qiaoyun smiled and said: "Sister Yeqi is so humble! I think Sister Yeqi can definitely do it!"

Yeqi Guanyin smiled and ordered: "This great victory is of great significance. The news of the great victory must be spread throughout the world immediately!" Everyone agreed in unison. At the same time, in the back hall of the merchant, a group of guys plotting a rebellion were already in chaos. Shang Shiheng, who was full of confidence before, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, looking at a loss. Others were talking about it, and everyone's expressions were full of panic.

Mo Haotian glanced at these frightened guys, and he couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart. He raised his voice and said, "Don't panic!" The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Mo Haotian. Mo Haotian said: "Yan Yun's army just used conspiracy and tricks to win by chance, so why panic!"

Bai Mu said angrily: "Even if it's a fluke, it's still a win. Ningxia was originally the most likely to fall in several directions, but now the situation has reversed. I'm afraid the situation in other directions will be worse!" Everyone started talking in fear again.

Mo Haotian frowned and said loudly: "The Yanyun Army won a lucky victory, but the strength of the Xiliao army is still there, and it is still far stronger than the Yanyun Army. The Yanyun Army just delayed for some time! "Everyone showed surprise, and Shang Shiheng asked: "Why is Mr. Mo so sure?"

Mo Haotian said: "I have an informant in Prince Yan's Mansion. She sent me a message not long ago, saying that although Yan Yun's army relied on trickery to take advantage of it, the main force of the Xiliao army is still there, and the Xiliao army will definitely continue to attack! And Yan Yun's army has taken advantage of it through trickery. The Yun Army also suffered a lot of losses in this battle, so the situation in Ningxia is actually still very unfavorable for the Yan Yun Army!"

Everyone showed surprise, and Bai Mu couldn't help but said: "This is really a gift from the sky!"

Mo Haotian said to Shang Shiheng: "Mr. Shang, the overall situation of the world has not changed now, so our plan should not change! Don't hesitate any more, we will suffer chaos if we continue!" Shang Shiheng hesitated for a moment, and then He nodded heavily and said loudly: "Okay! The original plan remains unchanged!" Then he stood up and called everyone to come to the map. This map is a detailed bird's eye view of Bianliang City. Although it cannot be compared with the bird's eye view of cities in modern society, the main locations, streets and alleys are also represented.

Shang Shiheng pointed to a place in the city near the west gate marked 'City Defense Barracks' and said: "This is the city defense barracks. Once we are, the first thing we have to do is to seize this place in one fell swoop and defeat the city defense army. Now inside the city There are only 30,000 city defense troops, I believe they can be eliminated in one fell swoop." Everyone nodded. Shang Shiheng then pointed to the location labeled 'Prince Yan's Mansion', "This is Prince Yan's Mansion. While seizing the city defense barracks, I will personally command a team of elite troops to capture Prince Yan's Mansion! Hehe, as long as we take Prince Yan's wife and children With it in hand, we will be invincible!" Everyone laughed obscenely, and a scholar said excitedly: "We'll have to see how beautiful the concubines of King Yan are!" Everyone agreed. His heart showed excitement. Shang Shiheng said: "If you have made great achievements, I can even reward you with one of them as a prize!" The scholar was very excited, swallowed his saliva, and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Shang, what did you say? But really?"

Shang Shiheng nodded and said seriously: "You are not joking!" Then he glanced at the others and said: "This promise is equally valid for all of you!" When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.

Shang Shiheng pointed to the location of the Bianliang Mansion Office and said: "While seizing the city defense barracks and Prince Yan's Mansion, we must also seize the Bianliang Mansion Office. Mr. Mo will be responsible for this matter." Then he looked at Mo Hao. Tian, ​​​​asked: "Master Mo, there should be no problem with your troops seizing the government office, right?" Mo Haotian nodded and said: "Don't worry, it's foolproof!" Shang Shiheng glanced at everyone and said, "This is the plan. Do you understand?" Everyone nodded. Seeing this, Shang Shiheng said: "Then let's go down and prepare, and we will take action in three days!" Everyone agreed and left.

Shang Shiheng looked at the map, his eyes radiating with excitement. He felt that a dynasty belonging to him was about to come! Thinking of the current situation in the world, he rolled up the current map, revealing the entire map of the Yanyun area at the back. This map was actually bought by him from Yanyun's state-owned store. It was naturally much simpler than Yanyun's military map, but the main cities and roads, as well as the various states and counties and the surrounding forces of Yanyun were clearly reflected. !

Shang Shiheng turned his eyes to the north and murmured: "Xixia is not our land in the first place, so it doesn't matter if we let Xiliao occupy it; well, we can also give them Shanxi and Shaanxi. In this way, Xiliao will definitely That's enough. As for the Jin people, it's enough to give them the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Hebei Road and Shandong." His attention turned to Sichuan, "Just give Sichuan to Tubo and Dali. I believe they will not have any trouble again. I think so." Then his eyes turned to the south and murmured: "As for a few Song emperors, give them the whole Jiangnan, they will be very happy." Finally, his eyes fell on the ground in Henan and Lianghuai, and in his eyes Showing excitement, he said: "Henan and Lianghuai are my land! I will be the emperor here! Well, what name should I give?" His heart moved, "Let's call it Dazhou! I Dazhou upholds Zhou rites, inherits the righteousness of Confucianism, and takes Dazhou as the country's title. It is truly worthy of the name!" After thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel extremely happy.

His eyes turned back to Niulan Mountain. When Yang Peng received the good news from Bianliang, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He immediately ordered the good news to be spread throughout the army, and the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted. Yang Peng stood in front of the map, looking at the Ningxia region, frowning slightly. Although Yue Fei had won a big victory, Yang Peng still couldn't relax. Although Yelu Longqing is defeated, he will definitely regroup and continue to attack. The strength of the two sides has not been reversed. It is difficult to make mistakes in the next battle. It is really hard to say that Yang Yanzhao can withstand Xiliao's fierce attack!

Putting aside the matters in Ningxia for the time being, he couldn't help but move his eyes to the Sichuan area, paused, and then moved his eyes down to Jiangnan, frowning tightly. He is very worried about the situation in Jiangnan. Although he is very confident in Yelu Tri's wife, too many unexpected things have happened. Whether Yelu Hanyu can hold on in such a situation is really worrying!

At the same time, Cao Yong was leading his army back to support Guangzhou. The army marched southward at the same time, not daring to waste any time. After a few days, they arrived at the foot of Qitian Ridge. Qitianling Mountain is high and densely forested, and it is steep and difficult to navigate. The Song army built a strong camp on Qitianling Mountain. Looking from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, we can see that the camp is hidden in the dense mountain forest, looming. The precipitous terrain played a crucial role in why the Yanyun Army failed to sweep through Jinghu South Road and then Guangnan East Road.

Cao Yong immediately raised his head at the roadside and glanced at the military camp on the mountain. The army continued to pass through him and headed up the mountain. Cao Yong sighed and murmured: "It's really unexpected! The Yanyun navy actually raided Guangzhou from the water! And the Guangzhou defenders collapsed at the first touch!"

What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
