Chapter 89: The Battle of Hainan Pass (11)
"Dead?"
Yang Ye looked at Ye Luyan's corpse, and always felt a little unexpected, but when he thought about it carefully, he was expected.
Three thousand wild wolves rode bravely, and although it was difficult to break through the encirclement of more than 20,000 troops, it was not impossible to achieve. Yeluyan has trained this team for so many years, and he is full of confidence in himself and the wolf ride, which is why he is so rash.
But Ye Luyan didn't expect that in addition to Yang Ye, the general of the Song army, who was sitting in the Chinese army, there was also an extraordinary Yang Yanhe. It can be said that the root cause of the destruction of the wild wolf cavalry and the death of Yeluyan is Yang Yansi!
Yang Ye looked at Yang Yansi next to Ye Luyan and said happily, "Yansi! You're going to be done! ”
Hearing this, Yang Yansi was ready to tell the matter of his eldest brother Yang Yanping. But when he looked up, he looked at Yang Ye with a look of great joy, pursed his lips, lowered his head and swallowed back the words he was about to spit out.
After looking at Yeluyan's corpse, Yang Ye's eyes were full of war, and he shouted, "Order the three armies!" Rest for an hour! Attack! ”
"No!"
......
"Marshal! Eighty miles ahead is the Liao army camp guarding Hainan Pass! ”
Hearing this, Yue Fei nodded slightly, and said, "Quickly send out all the scouts, and be sure to find out the situation within a radius of a hundred miles." Remember! Don't let the enemy scouts find out! ”
"No!"
After the scouts left, Yue Fei ordered again, "Slow down the whole army!" After speaking, Yue Fei glanced back in the direction of Shuiyang County and muttered, "Count the day, the reinforcements from the Liao Court should also arrive......"
——————
In an open space in the center of Tianyang City, thousands of Song soldiers surrounded Tian Teng and others, who had shrunk into a ball in the open space from the surrounding streets, alleys, and rooftops of houses.
"Huhu~"
Tian Teng panted and glanced around at the surrounding Song Jun, and finally focused his gaze on Yang Zaixing, who was the leader.
Yang Zaixing's face was gloomy, and a pair of eyes full of murderous intent looked at Tian Teng.
In a night of street fighting last night, Yang Zaixing lost 3,000 men and horses before Tian Teng and others were wiped out. Although he won, he suffered heavy losses.
Yang Zaixing took a step forward and said in an indifferent tone, "Tian Teng! I remember the friendship between you and me who fought all night, and you can judge yourself..."
Tian Teng, who was standing inside the iron shield, laughed out loud when he heard this, and his face suddenly became hideous, "Even if I lose this battle!" I will never let you take Tianyang City easily! ”
"Archer prepare!"
Yang Zaixing looked at the ignition oil on the arrows of hundreds of archers, with a smile on his face, and said, "Do you think I wouldn't expect that you would want to burn jade?" ”
Looking at the complicated smile on Yang Zaixing's face, Tian Teng had a bad premonition in his heart, and immediately shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”
The archers pulled the strings to the full, and just as they were about to shoot, a shout came from the rear of the Song army...
The heads of the three major families rushed out of the crowd with a frightened face, shouting, "Stop me!" ”
Tian Teng's last few hundred troops were all government soldiers seconded from the family, and when those government soldiers saw their family master rushing out to stop them, they immediately stopped.
Tian Teng was slightly stunned, knowing that the defeat had been decided, he shouted unwillingly, "What are you doing in a daze!" Give me arrows! ”
Seeing that those soldiers were motionless, Tian Teng turned to look at the three masters, and said coldly, "Are you going to betray Da Liao?" ”
The three of them all sneered and snorted, "Betrayal of Da Liao? Tian City Lord! You have to speak with your conscience! Nearly 3,000 troops from our three major families have reinforced you, and now there is only so little left! Isn't that enough? Your Tian City Lord is loyal to Da Liao, and you still want to drag the people of our whole city to accompany you to the funeral? ”
Hearing this, Tian Teng's face turned pale, he took a few steps back tremblingly, slowly swept over Yang Zaixing and the others, nodded slightly, and said, "When I arrive, I won't be able to escape death!" After speaking, Tian Teng looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, put the sword in his hand in his throat, and shouted, "King! The minister has gone first! ”
Puff~
A blood arrow sprayed out from Tian Teng's throat, and only a bang was heard, and Tian Teng fell in a pool of blood...
Yang Zaixing sighed slightly, in awe of this Tian Teng in his heart, and said regretfully, "Clean up the battlefield immediately and verify the number of casualties." All the uninjured immediately returned to the city wall and held on! ”
As early as an hour ago, Yang Zaixing received news from the scout. The Liao army had already killed ten miles outside the city and rushed to this side. In terms of numbers, the scouts speculated that it was about 20,000 horses based on the movement of the march!
In other words, Yang Zaixing and others finally won Tianyang City after a night of hard fighting, but they are about to face a hard battle!
Originally, Yang Zaixing was still a little worried about the war, after all, when making a plan, their task was to resist for half a month. If the enemy army takes advantage of the fact that the Song army has just experienced a battle and is exhausted, it will launch a wheel battle to consume the Song army's physical strength in turn. Then Yang Zaixing is really not sure that he will be able to hold on. But it wasn't until Yang Zaixing went in to see the armory that Xia Tian Teng had not had time to burn, that the stone floating in his heart finally fell to the ground.
The arrows, falling rocks, and tung oil in the arsenal alone were enough for the Song army to last for a month. As long as Yang Zaixing can stabilize the people in the city and keep them from joining forces with the Liao army, half a month will not be a problem.
At this critical time, the heads of the three major families played a key role. With the prestige they have accumulated over the past hundred years, it is not a problem to stabilize the people of the city for ten days and a half.
Not only Tianyang City, but Liecheng and Tianshui City are also being attacked by soldiers at this moment.
The camp of the Liao army...
A man over thirty years old sat in the handsome tent, looking at the ten-meter-sized sand table in front of him, his fingers kept tapping on the table, as if he was pondering.
"The coastal road is dense into Shuiyang County, and in one fell swoop won Tianshui City, Tianyang City, and Liecheng... Song Guomo didn't think about it! Han Derang, the prime minister of Daliao, suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of light suddenly appeared.
"The Song State is now focusing on the Chu State, and my Great Liao must have harassed it in every way to cause the displeasure of the Song court's monarchs and ministers, so he wants to take Hainan Pass and solve the problem of the Liao and Song Dynasty in one fell swoop!"
Thinking of this, Han Derang stood up, turned around the sand table twice with thoughts on his face, and then stopped, and said, "The Song army is coming across the sea, and there must not be many cavalry. If you want to raid Hainan Pass, it won't have much effect! ”
"With Ye Luyan's resourcefulness, he will definitely be able to detect the cattiness of Song Guo's army this time, and 50,000 troops are enough for him to be fully prepared!"
Han Derang was very relieved about Yeluyan, he had a fateful friendship with Yeluyan on the battlefield, and he couldn't understand Yeluyan's skills. Although it is frivolous, its bravery is enough to rank in the top three in Daliao. And his ability to lead troops to fight is not under him!
As long as you can break through any of the three cities of Tianshui, Tianyang, and Liecheng before Hainan Pass is broken, and rush to the battlefield in time, you will not only be able to break this game. It was even able to oppose the guest, so that Yeluyan's army cooperated with the flanking attack, and left all the Song troops who crossed the sea behind!
After figuring it out, Han Derang shouted outside the tent, "Someone!" ”
"Prime Minister!"
"Let all the generals above the commander appear in my tent within half an hour!"
"No!"
The efficiency was very fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, dozens of generals wearing armor entered the tent one by one.
"Meet the Prime Minister!"
The generals respectfully saluted Han Derang.
Han Derang nodded slightly and said, "Sit!" ”
All the generals sat down immediately, and everyone bowed their heads slightly, not daring to look directly at Han Derang.
For Han Derang, their hearts were full of awe. Now the King of Liao is still young, and the court is controlled by Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang, and the power in Liao can be said to cover the sky with one hand. It is said that the two were childhood sweethearts when they were young, and Empress Dowager Xiao liked Han Derang very much and wanted to tie up with him. If it weren't for Han Derang, who thought that he was not famous, he would not have rejected Empress Dowager Xiao, and there would have been nothing to do with the former king of Liao.
Now that the former king of Liao is dead, the love between the two is not extinguished, and they often travel in the same car and bed, and they do not shy away from it.
Although this move caused a lot of national rumors, no one dared to say it. Standing behind the Empress Dowager Xiao is the Xiao family, one of the two giants of the Liao State, and Han Derang has made many miraculous achievements since he joined the army, and his official positions are all based on military merits little by little, and his prestige in the army is extremely high!
Han Derang glanced at everyone present with a rather majestic glance and shouted, "Everyone! ”
Everyone was stunned and looked at Han Derang.
"The Song State seized three cities in a row and sealed all the three official roads leading to Hainan Pass. At this moment, the Song State must have sent troops to Hainan Pass, trying to take it in one fell swoop! ”
Hearing this, all the generals looked at each other and were silent.
Han Derang could see that although everyone didn't speak, they still despised Song Guo very much in their bones. A country that has been in existence for less than five years and has not experienced a major war.
Alas~
Han Derang sighed in his heart and continued, "Now there are a total of 50,000 troops in Hainan Pass, and the general who guards the town is Zhennan General Yeluyan. It is estimated that Hainan Pass will last at least one month! ”
"However, if our army can quickly capture any of the three cities and quickly rush to the aid of Hainan Pass, we will be able to counterattack in one fell swoop and annihilate the Song army in our Liao territory!"
The bronze armor general said, "Prime Minister! The low walls of Liecheng City are thin, give me 30,000 troops, it won't take three days to take it! ”
Hearing this, Han Derang shook his head and said, "Liecheng is indeed the easiest to attack, but most of the official roads on both sides of Liecheng are valleys and forests, and it is very easy to set up ambushes. Don't take risks! ”
"The prime minister has ordered that all the available forces of Shuiyang County have been mobilized, and a total of 20,000 horsemen have been assembled to send Tianyang City."
As soon as Han Derang said this, the generals understood. This time, their goal is Tianshui City!
"Prime Minister, Tianshui City has thick walls, and its defense facilities are among the best among the many counties in Liao. If our army wants to take Tianshui City, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time! ”
"It is precisely because of the high walls of Tianshui City that the Song army will definitely not put the main forces inside. My 100,000-strong army wants to take Tianshui City, in less than five days! ”
