Besides, Tan Xinwei, the 200,000 Shuai army hastily ran back to the Yingzhou camp, and there were 70,000 fewer soldiers, and in addition to the dead and wounded, there were also many deserters among the 70,000 people.

Tan Xin did not convene Xing Baochen to discuss the strategy.

Tan Xinwei said to Xing Baochen: "Now that the counteroffensive is second, how to explain the reason for the defeat of this battle to the official family is a major matter in front of you and me!" ”

Xing Baochen also hurriedly said: "The Lord is right!" Besides, the prison army Ye Pei rushed back to Daizhou City at the risk of death, and his life and death were uncertain, how could he explain this to the above! ”

Tan Xinwei was also like an ant on a hot pot, sighing: "Yes! Yes! I said a long time ago that she is a woman, and it is difficult to stand in the chaos of the army! At that time, she should not have been given 5,000 soldiers and horses, so that she could be cut off. ”

Xing Baochen rolled his eyes and said: "Now there is only one thing to do, two things to do, anyway, Ye Pei is more than lucky, so he simply blames her for the mistake." Tomorrow, the general will repair the war report, saying that Ye Pei, the supervising army, was greedy and reckless, which led to chaos, and now Ye Pei is separated from the army, life and death are uncertain, please send support from the official family! ”

Tan Xinwei sighed and said, "I can only follow my brother's words." When the reinforcements arrive, we will break through Yizhou and other places again to make up for the merits. ”

Therefore, Tan Xinwei and the others didn't think about going back to Daizhou to rescue at all, they just waited for the city of Daizhou to be broken, and Ye Pei died in battle, and there was no proof of death.

In the Liao State military camp outside Daizhou City, Xiao Xiaoxian's injuries were better, and the number of sieges organized was getting closer and tighter.

Xiao Xiaoxian looked at Daizhou City in the howling north wind, as if it was crumbling and vulnerable, and smiled contemptuously.

He said to Li Juming beside him: "The city is just around the corner. ”

At the head of Daizhou City, Cui Kui stood on Ye Pei's right side, and Huang Jian stood on Ye Pei's left side, both of them staring at Ye Pei directly, waiting for her to give orders.

Ye Pei asked Cui Kui, "How many soldiers are there in the city?" ”

Cui Kui said with a bitter face: "There are 5,000 people who can pick up arms!" ”

"How many arrows are there?"

Cui Kui was even more worried: "It's almost gone!" ”

Ye Pei nodded, revealing a resolute expression.

She instructed Huang Jian, "You organize the people to dig deep trenches around the city walls, so that they can prevent them from digging tunnels from outside. Then attach to the high-rise buildings in the city and build a few arrow towers. ”

"Yes! General Ye. "Huang Jian ordered to take his men down to the city to do it.

Ye Pei instructed Cui Kui again: "You take people to tie thousands of straw men and some wooden planks for backup." ”

Cui Kui asked, "General Ye, what does this mean?" ”

Ye Pei said calmly: "You will know when the time comes." ”

On a dim moonlit night, taking advantage of the unknown moonlight, Ye Pei ordered thousands of straw men to tie ropes and tie them down to the city.

"It's not good, it's Song Jun! They're going to run! The captain of the patrol camp thought that the defenders of the city were going to escape secretly along the city wall, and while ordering someone to immediately shoot the enemy with arrows, he sent someone to inform the commander Xiao Xiaoxian.

Because the light was unclear and they did not dare to send troops without authorization, thousands of crossbowmen fired arrows together to shoot the straw men. After a pillar of incense, the straw men in the city were full of arrows and were pulled back into the city.

Cui Kui exclaimed: "General Ye is a good plan, you are really the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming, a good method of 'borrowing arrows from grass boats'." ”

Ye Pei's face was not happy, and he only said lightly: "This is just the beginning, and in the future, it will all depend on General Cui and all the soldiers working together!" ”

In the big tent of the Liao army, after the commander Xiao Xiao knew first, he was so angry that he jumped to his feet.

"A bunch of idiots! Give me a siege at dawn! ”

It was dawn, and the Liao army attacked.

They pulled a cloud ladder several feet high and tried to climb the city wall, and the arrow tower built by Ye Pei ordered Huang Jian to come in handy.

Whoosh ...... The soldiers of the Song army stood on top of the arrow tower and shot countless Liao people with a large number of arrows sent by the Liao army.

The Song army in the city all shouted "Goddess Ye Pei", and the army's morale was greatly boosted.

Xiao Xiaoxian was almost angry, and immediately discussed the next siege plan with the deputy general Li Juming.

Seeing that the plan failed, Li Juming said: "There is a method of digging tunnels to attack the city in the art of war, why don't you give it a try?" ”

Xiao Xiaoxian agreed: "Okay, just follow this plan!" ”

Li Juming immediately sent sappers to dig tunnels in an attempt to dig into the city from underground.

But who would have thought that as soon as the tunnel was dug through, the Liao army at the front was slashed and killed by the Song army led by Huang Jian.

The Liao soldiers who were still in the tunnel behind didn't know the situation ahead, and they were still there

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

rushed in to kill, only to feel that the fire at the exit was soaring, black smoke choked his nose, and countless Liao soldiers were hacked to death and smoked to death in the tunnel.

Seeing that the Song army had once again repelled the attack of the Liao army, they were eager to try and sang with joy.

It turned out that this was Ye Pei's use of the law of "Conformism" in the book of war, to beware of the enemy's various siege strategies.

Xiao Xiao first covered the arrow wound with his hand and gritted his molars with a rattle. But he was also a brave general who had read a lot of military books, and he quickly calmed down.

Seeing that the tunnel could not be done, he immediately sent a rushing car to attack the gate of Daizhou City. The huge rushing car weighed a thousand pounds, like a fierce beast, rushing towards the gate of Daizhou City.

At once, twice, the wooden gate wrapped in iron made a "creaking and rumbling" sound.

Seeing the broken gate shaking, Ye Pei hurriedly ordered the soldiers to use the beams and pillars of the house against the gate, and also covered the city gate with a huge quilt to cushion the unloading.

Xiao Xiaoxian tried to burn the quilt with fire, and Ye Pei poured water on the quilt to extinguish the torch.

Looking at the dilapidated and porous Daizhou city wall, the rushing cars under the city are still crashing. The water poured on the quilt quickly froze into ice, and Ye Pei came up with another clever plan.

She ordered the sergeants to carry water and splash it on the city walls in the coldest early morning, and the water flowed down the river and quickly condensed. Layer after layer, thick layers of ice completely enveloped the ruined walls.

When the sun rose the next day, a brand new building rose from the ground, and the new walls shone brightly. The Liao army was almost shaken to the point that they couldn't open their eyes.

When Xiao Xiaoxian ordered to attack Daizhou City again, the Liao army found that the city wall was so slippery that the ladder could not be erected. The rushing car also slid off track outside the city, without breaking power.

Even the arrows and stone cannons were no longer lethal, and a stone cannon had just broken through a piece of ice skin on the city wall, and the sergeant at the head of Daizhou City carried a bucket of water and poured it down, and the city wall immediately became solid again.

The dilapidated Daizhou City has become a magic city with self-healing ability!

Song Jun cheered, chanted the name of "Ye Pei" again, and sang and danced.

The Song army was happy, but Xiao Xiaoxian in the Liao army tent was furious.

A small Daizhou actually let him lose 70,000 or 80,000 troops, and it took more than three months to capture it. If it drags on like this, the military resources and war preparedness will be insufficient, and the gains will be far less than the consumption, and the Liao army can only withdraw and seek peace, giving up in vain.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiaoxian felt a faint pain in his left shoulder, and the evil anger in his heart was difficult to dissipate.

is so high that the magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high, and it has been dealing with it for more than a month.

Ye Pei saw that the reinforcements were delayed, and he knew in his heart that he had become an outcast. But in the face of the sergeants who worked together, Ye Pei would not give up. She thought day and night, no matter how high the law of defending the city is, there will be a day when the oil runs out and the lamp runs out, how can she save herself?

In the city of Daizhou, Ye Pei inspected the barracks with a lantern in the middle of the night, she looked at the crescent moon, and suddenly thought of a formation mentioned in the book of war, in ancient times!

The next day, Ye Pei personally designed and drawn, she had read Master Bashan's weapon manufacturing spectrum, and also learned a pair of skillful hands, and personally led Huang Jian and others to supervise the construction of bed crossbows. She ordered people to collect the wooden beds of the people's houses as crossbow machines, and used the spears in the hands of the soldiers as arrows to fire from the crossbow beds.

In less than ten days, the construction of the crossbow bed was completed, and the battle formation rehearsed by Ye Pei also began to see the scale.

On this day, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the bright and bright Daizhou suddenly opened the city gates, and a group of Song troops walked out of the city in a neat formation, forming a crescent-shaped battle formation.

Xiao Xiaoxian was overjoyed, and thought to himself, "I'm afraid that the grain and grass in the city are exhausted, and Ye Pei, this little girl, is going to go out of the city and surrender, right?" ”

He himself went to the front of the battle to watch, but saw that the opponent was in a crescent shape, with his back to the city wall and arching out in front of him, as if to attack.

Xiao Xiaoxian sneered: "I don't know whether you are alive or dead! Behold that I have captured you alive today, and I will take revenge on my shoulder with a sword! ”

He shouted loudly against the Song army, "Ye Pei Xiaonizi, did you lead your troops to surrender?" ”

But no one answered in the battle array.

Xiao Xiao first rode on the horse and observed carefully, but he didn't see Ye Pei coming out, and he felt strange in his heart. He sent a forward and advanced dozens of zhang, but he did not see the Song army attacking.

Xiao Xiaoxian wondered in his heart, "What a Ye Pei Xiaonizi, what kind of trick to deal with me?" As soon as he lifted his horse, he led the army and rushed to the Song army battle formation with overwhelming force.

Everyone in the Song army's battle array held a shield in their left hand and a spear in their right hand, huddled together with each other, their eyes blazing, and they had the determination to look at death as if they were at home.

The cavalry of the Liao army rushed all the way to the enemy formation, and at first there was some slow hesitation, seeing the Song army

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

If he didn't let go of the arrows and didn't react, he became bold, shouted all the way, urged the fast horse under his crotch, and slashed the scimitar in his hand.

When the Liao army was about to rush to ten zhang away in front of the Song army, the Song army suddenly lined up on both sides, and in the middle of the crescent moon that was hollowed out in the middle, more than ten bed ballista carts were launched. Each of these ballistae had a square of ten spears, which were aimed at the enemy and shot "whoosh, whoosh".

Because the distance was too close, each spear could pierce through four or five Liao troops, killing several people at once like a string of sugar gourds.

The Liao army originally rode forward to kill, but the people in front suddenly fell, blocking the way of the people behind, and the people behind rushed to the front, only those who were shot to death, and those who escaped were trampled to death by horses.

The Song army had its back against the city wall and faced the anti-Liao army with a small contact, but saw that a large number of Liao troops were shot, trampled, and followed one after another, and the corpses were piled up as high as a hill.

Li Juming suddenly recognized this formation and shouted to Xiao Xiaoxian: "But the moon formation!" This is the Moon Array that has been recorded in the book of war, but has long been lost! ”

Why did Li Juming suddenly burst out and shout wildly?

It turned out that this moon array was a formation of the ancient gods, which was invented by the Yellow Emperor when he fought Chiyou, and was later lost. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu fought against Sun Song, the eldest son of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and once used this "Moon Array" again and destroyed the Northern Wei Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Later, this formation was lost again, and until now, Ye Pei used this formation again, which frightened Li Juming to retreat again and again.

Xiao Xiaoxian didn't know what to do, but the moon array, he only watched his 200,000 troops with his own eyes, most of them were killed and wounded, and they were defeated by the 5,000 sergeants of the Song army.

The commander was wounded, and most of the Liao army was killed or wounded, and he had no intention of fighting at this time. In the Liao army, led by Hu Pu and Li Juming, he led the remaining 100,000 Liao soldiers to withdraw from Daizhou and retreat to Yizhou.

As a result, Daizhou City, which had been besieged for more than four months, was finally saved.

The Song army broke the siege of 250,000 iron cavalry of the Liao army with 5,000 infantry, and returned safely, which is unique in tens of thousands of wars in history, enough to glorify the annals of history!

This year, Ye Pei just turned twenty years old!

------

Ye Pei saw that Xiao Xiao had withdrawn first, and ordered Cui Kui to pull back the dead Liao army's war horses to satisfy his hunger, and burn a large number of corpses with fire to prevent the disease from raging.

The fire burned for three days and three nights, looking at the raging fire, the corpse of the Liao army and the corpse of the Song army burned together, Ye Pei had mixed feelings in his heart. They were enemies when they were born, and they were buried together when they died, and who could tell whether they were friends or enemies?

Although the Liao army raised an unrighteous army, the soldiers were innocent, the people were innocent, and they were also killed and wounded, and suffered with them. It's really ominous for soldiers, and the sin is in war!

The remaining 5,000 elite soldiers in Daizhou were all grateful to Ye Pei and regarded her as a reborn parent, and later they followed Ye Pei and became her most loyal protector. This is a later story, let's talk about the present.

Ye Pei asked Cui Kui to lead 3,000 men to continue to garrison Daizhou, and he led 2,000 troops to return to Yingzhou.

Tan Xin didn't hear that Xiao Xiao had withdrawn his troops from Yizhou first, and was puzzled, when he suddenly saw Ye Pei, who was safe and sound, appear in front of him, he almost fell off the chair.

"Ye, Ye, Ye, Ye County Lord!" Tan Xinwei's tongue began to tremble.

Ye Pei stepped to Tan Xinwei's side with a brisk step, drew his saber and wanted to hack him to the ground.

Xing Baochen, the deputy general next to him, was so frightened that he knelt on his knees and begged, "Lord Le'an, keep people under your command!" Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive! ”

Ye Pei put the knife on Tan Xinwei's neck, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a few words: "Tan Xinwei, are you guilty!" ”

Tan Xin didn't know that he was going to die, but calmed down. "Tan's crime cannot be punished, and it is at the disposal of the county lord. It's a pity that the mutiny before the battle and the commander was killed, I'm afraid that the Liao army will take advantage of the weakness to enter, and my sin is too great! ”

Ye Pei's eyes were about to bleed, and he roared loudly: "Tan Xinwei, you will talk when you arrive!" At the beginning, my Song sergeant was besieged in Daizhou, and I was looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements every day, but in the end, I didn't see you leading a soldier to the rescue. If I hadn't been the one who defended the city, the thousands of Song Dynasty soldiers and the people of a city would have died a tragic death! ”

Tan Xin didn't close his eyes and said: "I know that I am guilty of a lot of crimes, but I am afraid that in order to save thousands of people, I will lose the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. ”

Ye Pei's saber trembled in his hand, his chest rose and fell, and it took a long time before he sighed and said, "Then wait for the official family to decide!" With that, he put the knife back in its sheath, turned and strode away.
