Chapter 55, Ten Thousand Victories, Ten Thousand Victories.

Ye was riding on a horse, his face was pale, but his eyes were blood-red. He lost this battle too badly. The auxiliaries were defeated, the vests were scrapped by the crossbowmen and the musketeers, and even the most elite of the Creek army was severely damaged by the crossbows. The elite of the Xi army rushed to more than 30 steps away from the Song army, and was shot by the Song army. Up to now, there were only more than sixty cavalrymen left alive around Ye Hongguang. Because they were riding in the back and being stopped by the hundreds of cavalry in front, these sixty elites were saved by the volley of Ming firearms.

Ye Yu Hongguang sighed, and led his troops to the battle, but he folded the entire northern envoy under the Song army city. After this battle, how many years will it take for the Northern Envoy to recover his blood? Where did this Song Jun come from? How could the Song army have such combat effectiveness? Why did he meet such a Song army? If the Song army had a few more such troops, wouldn't my Great Liao Kingdom dare not take the next step south?

Ye Hongguang couldn't figure it out. The red light was in the back row of the cavalry on the western flank, and it was originally in formation. But in front of him, all the elites of the Creek army were shot and fell, and there was no obstacle in front of him. Suddenly, a flintlock bullet whistled and slammed into Yar's red light's left arm. Ye Yan Hongguang only felt a cold in his arm, and the sharp pain came like a mountain - Ye Yan Hongguang knew that the bone in his left hand had been broken.

Yaren Hongguang gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain, and continued to ride forward. Ye Yu Hongguang was about to make a last fight, he held his saber high in his right hand, and led the last remaining elite of the more than forty Xi army and more than twenty people who were divided into the Song army column in Tianjing New City. The Song army has already discharged all the firearms, and now the warriors of the Great Liao Kingdom can finally rush into the enemy formation.

With so many warriors lost, even if he can return to Youzhou alive, the emperor will never let him go. It is better to die here, in front of this group of Song troops with unbelievable firepower. Rushing over like this, maybe there is still a slight chance to crush these Song troops who are not good at fighting? These Song troops have been using firearms to fight, and they don't have any long weapons around them, so they must be vulnerable to cavalry in close quarters! These Song troops can't use firearms to fight against the elite cavalry of the Great Liao Kingdom, right?

Like a gambler who has lost all his fortune, he has staked his fate on the last coin. He endured the severe pain in his left hand, and led the last sixty or so cavalry to rush to the front of the Song army, and was about to ride his horse into the four-layer queue of the Ming army. Under the leadership of Ye Yu Hongguang, the last more than sixty Khitan elites also forgot about life and death, and rushed towards the queue of the Xuanfeng Regiment one by one. However, they were greeted by a thousand bright bayonets.

It was a bayonet that made the Khitan army desperate. Most of the soldiers of the Election Regiment were veterans, and at this time they lined up in front of the formation with more than 1,000 Sensen bayonets, blocking all the charging routes of the elite of the Creek Army and the Assigned Pashku. One of the scorers had to go down to the sidelines, relying on the chain mail of the war horse, and rushed into the bayonet group with a loud roar, crashing into a soldier of the Elective Regiment. He rushed into the formation and swung his axe and slashed the left hand of another soldier of the Elective Regiment. But soon he regretted his bravery, and seven or eight bayonets stabbed at him from all sides. He dodged two or three, but was stabbed by the other five. The fine bayonet forged by Tianjing Xincheng Steel slammed through the armor of the Dividator and brought him to his horseback.

More than 20 elite soldiers of the Creek Army and Fende Paishku rushed directly into the formation, crashed into the bayonet group, and slashed more than 40 soldiers of the Selective Regiment, but were immediately stabbed into a hornet's nest by bayonets. The remaining forty or so Khitan cavalry patrolled in front of the formation, trying to find a safer entrance to cut into the formation, but the bayonet array that was waiting for them did not give them a chance.

Ye Yu rode in front of the formation of the Selector Regiment with red eyes and swept by, and from time to time he leaned on the bayonet array to threaten the Song soldiers. But those Song soldiers were apparently well-trained and well-trained. As soon as they approached, they collectively stabbed their bayonets, and with five or six sharp bayonets, they forced them to retreat. The blood from the gunshot wound on his left hand continued to flow out, and he lost too much blood and was in a trance. Is this the end of today?

How did these musketeers put their swords on the muskets, and who taught them? This Sensen's bayonet array forced him to be unable to rush into battle, and more than sixty of the last elite horsemen finally rushed to the front of the Song army's formation but did not make any gains. The 12,000 northern envoys who broke through the pass and entered the army brought by himself were all defeated under this big ditch city? The slaves of the Song State captured a few days ago can only be returned to the Song army? All of his own results were to kill and injure more than forty Song troops?

His left hand is useless, if he escapes back to Youzhou, will the emperor spare his life? It's impossible, the loss of the North Recruitment is so big, the emperor will definitely kill himself in anger. Ye Yan roared with red eyes and red eyes, full of unwillingness. He suddenly saw that the Song army in the back row raised the fire gun again, and the Song army in the back row was about to shoot again. Yaren knew she was going to die.

Before he died, he had to kill a few Song soldiers, and he would not be laughed at by the warriors of the Great Liao Kingdom on the Huangquan Road. Ye Hongguang rode his horse diagonally into the bayonet formation, and knocked a soldier of the Election Regiment with a bayonet in his hand. Ye Yu Hongguang roared, and slashed at a Song soldier on the right with a knife in his right hand, slashing the somewhat panicked soldier to death. The surrounding soldiers gathered and stabbed their bayonets at Yari's red light.

With a loud roar, Yaren rolled off his horse, dodging the bayonet that stabbed him. When it comes to hand-to-hand combat, these Song soldiers are too much to lose. He was about to swing his sword and fight again, but suddenly saw the surrounding Song troops suddenly retreat in unison and let himself in the middle. Ye Hongguang looked up and found that more than a dozen firearms were already aimed at him behind him.

The red light rolled to the ground, trying to avoid the firebolts. But these dozen guns are pointed at each other, and it is not so easy to dodge. There was a crackling gunshot, and Ye Hongguang was punched with several large holes in his body, and slowly fell in a pool of blood. The Khitan nobleman of the Great Liao State was red and killed in front of the Tiger Ben regiment.

Seeing that this big leader of the Khitan army was killed, the soldiers of the surrounding Xuanfeng Regiment were excited. This battle is a complete victory! The gunfire of the Xuanfeng Regiment rang out one by one, and the last 40 or so elites of the Khitan Army in front of the battle were all killed. At this point, all the Khitan troops recruited from the north were defeated and annihilated.

The battlefield was littered with 4,000 Tartar corpses, like a slaughterhouse. Next to the Khitan's corpse, the blood that flowed from the gunshot wound flowed to the lower part and gathered into a small pool. The smell of blood seemed to have turned into substance and lingered around, making people feel a little uncomfortable breathing. It was only when the wind blew that those tastes slightly better.

The losses of the Khitan army in this battle were even worse than the heavy ones. Although more than 50 soldiers were shot and wounded by the Khitan army, the Khitan army finally rushed into the battle and wounded and hacked to death more than 50 soldiers of the Xuanfeng Regiment, which made Yang Peng very worried. But compared to the huge casualties of the Khitan army, the losses of the Tiger Ben Regiment were negligible, and such an exchange ratio was still acceptable.

The soldiers of the Tiger Regiment fought for the rest of their lives, rejoiced in victory, raised their bayonets and shouted:

"Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!"

The wounded soldiers of the Election Regiment were lying on the ground, and the squad leaders were busy bandaging their wounds and stopping the bleeding. Some soldiers cut off their heads on the battlefield. This time the field battle killed 4,000 Khitan soldiers, and increased by 4,000 to the 4,000 head. Especially the corpse that got the red light of Ye Yan, it must be well preserved - this is probably the highest-ranking Khitan army general killed by the Song army since the Youzhou War, and I am afraid that the emperor will have to take a look at it at that time.

Yang Peng sent a thousand soldiers on horseback to chase down the rout. When the Khitan auxiliaries fled, they fled back to the camp and got their horses, and they fled on horseback. The Khitan army has many horses, and the elite, vest and infantry of the Xi army often have one war horse and many pack horses, and the followers and auxiliaries often also have pack horses. However, pack horses are inferior horses, and they cannot charge in battle—they are no faster than a man can run with all his might, and they are easily frightened by the sound of gunfire and lose control. But the stamina is good, and you can run farther by riding than by your feet.

When the tiger group kills out of the ditch, let the auxiliary soldiers lead a thousand horses to follow behind, although they are also pack horses, but they can also ride to chase the rout. At this time, Yang Peng was victorious, and Yang Peng immediately asked 1,000 soldiers of the Xuanfeng Regiment to ride on horses to chase and kill the Khitan rout. The soldiers of the Xuanfeng Regiment chased for dozens of miles until it was dark, and then chased and killed 600 Khitan routs. In this battle, the Tiger Ben Regiment won more than 11,600 Khitan Army heads.

After Yang Peng counted the heads, he asked the soldiers to ride to Cangzhou overnight and reported the news of the victory to the governor of the Great Song Dynasty. In the governor's yamen, Xu Nan was wearing a middle coat, lying on the bed and was about to let his subordinates blow out the candles, but suddenly saw Deacon Sun at home staggering over.

"My lord, what a victory!" These days, the rangers of the Khitan army are constantly cruising around Cangzhou, so that the Song army's "night does not collect" scouts cannot leave Cangzhou City, making Xu Nan become blind. He didn't have any news of the night, so he didn't know about the defense of the various states and counties in his jurisdiction. He was afraid that which state and county would be broken by the Khitan army again, and he would not be able to sleep peacefully. In addition, some time ago, Cangzhou County was almost captured, Xu Nan is to blame for these two things, he doesn't know if the officials will hold him accountable after the war. In short, Xu Nan was in a very bad mood.

Seeing the panicked Deacon Sun at this time, Xu Nan couldn't help but be a little irritable. He turned over to Deacon Sun on the bed and said unhappily, "What a great victory? Make it clear! ”

"Tianjing New City Victory!" Tianjing New Town? Great victory? Tianjing New City repelled the Khitan army rangers? Yang Peng has made meritorious service again? Xu Nan became a little interested, got up from the bed, coughed and asked, "Tianjing New City repelled the Khitan army rangers?" Deacon Sun nodded excitedly and said, "Yes! Repulsed! Deacon Sun found that something was wrong halfway through his words, so he slapped himself and said, "No, my lord, it's not to repel the rangers, it's Yang Peng who repelled the Khitan Northern Recruiting Army!" ”

Repelling the Northern Envoy? Xu Nan was stunned for a moment. The Khitan army has become stronger and stronger over the years, and the Song army does not dare to engage it at all. Even if they relied on the high city and deep pond to defend it, many cities were broken by the Khitan. The Northern Recruitment Envoy is the pro-army of the Empress Dowager Xiao, and his combat effectiveness is strong. Yang Peng resisted the attack of the Northern Envoy on the city and defended the city, which can be regarded as a great achievement!

Shaking his head, he said, "Tianjing New City is guarded?" "Hold on, sir! I asked the messenger of Tianjing New City to come and talk to you! Xu Nan nodded, got up and put on his official robe, and sat on the bed waiting for the messenger from Tianjing New Town. Sure enough, after a while, a young man about eighteen years old walked in and saluted Xu Nan.

Xu Nan hurriedly asked him to get up, and asked a little anxiously, "Tianjing New City repelled the Northern Recruit?" How many people were repulsed? Zhan Jinguo arched his hand and said: "My lord, my city lord, Yang Peng, the city lord of Tianjing New City, led the Tianjing New City army to repel the siege of 12,000 people from the north!" ”

Xu Nan was overjoyed when he heard this, and the secret path was really defended, and he repelled 12,000 people, which is a great achievement! Xu Nan touched his beard and said a little smugly: "Yang Peng didn't disappoint the old man!" This official must be Yang Peng's meritorious service. You go back and tell Yang Peng that when the plan is made in the next three years, the official will definitely get a reward for him from the official's family! Seeing that Xu Nan hadn't figured out the situation yet, Deacon Sun opened his mouth on the side, wanting to say something. But he looked at Zhan Jinguo and closed his mouth again.

Zhan Jinguo said slowly: "My lord, this time my city lord not only repelled the Northern Recruitment Envoy, but my city lord led his troops to attack, pursued the Northern Recruitment Envoy in the wilderness, killed the Khitan Yelu Hongguang, and saved the people of the Great Song Dynasty!" Hearing Zhan Jinguo's words, Xu Nan's mouth opened wide in surprise. What is the concept of pursuing 12,000 Khitan people and killing the Northern Envoy in the wilderness? It is the elite of the Great Song Dynasty, even the iron cavalry of the Yang family army can't do this!

And Yang Peng, a small city lord of Tianjing New Town, actually dared to chase after 12,000 people from the north, and defeated the north envoy in the wilderness. Not only that, but Yang Peng also killed the Khitan's Ye Yu Red Light? Are Yang Peng's soldiers all divine generals? Indeed, Yang Peng's soldiers gave enough monthly money, and I heard that they were also equipped with strong crossbows, but they were not opponents of the envoys from the north of the Great Liao Kingdom!

Or Yang Peng wanted to deceive the military merits, so he made a fake Ya Yu Hongguang to deceive himself. That's not necessary, Tianjing New City is not under the control of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty can't control Tianjing New Town, most of the time, it is too shocking to defeat the Northern Recruitment in the field. Thinking of this, Xu Nan's voice became a little cold, and said, "You guys are not mistaken? Really slashed the red light of Yar? This battle feat is to go to the official's family, and if the news comes that Ye Yu Hongguang is not dead after a while, it will be a big crime of bullying the king! ”

Zhan Jinguo arched his hand and said: "Lord Governor, not a word is wrong!" The little one saw with his own eyes that the red light of Yaren was killed in front of the battle! This time, my city lord captured and beheaded the Khitan 11,600, all of them are genuine Khitan dogs, if the governor doesn't believe it, you can personally follow me to Dagou City to check! Besides, can your officials in the Great Song Dynasty manage us? We tell you that we are reassuring you that the Khitan dog killed us, and there is no problem in Cangzhou. also deceived the king. Look at your cowardice, gone"

Hearing the number 11,600, Xu Nan's eyes widened suddenly, and his pupils widened. Eleven thousand six hundred heads? Is this a joke? Since Empress Dowager Xiao was difficult to come, my Great Song Dynasty has never had such a huge feat. It was the Battle of Jinyang, which was widely praised as a great victory, and the Khitan head was only 5,669. If Yang Peng really captured 11,600 heads, it would definitely be a great victory that this dynasty had never had!

Even if Yang Peng kills good and risky feats, among which the true Khitan head is only one-tenth, it is also a great success! This time, the Khitan army entered the customs like a broken bamboo, the towns were gloomy, the Great Song Dynasty could not defend the city, and the battalion generals followed the Khitan army and did not dare to engage in the battle, and the situation could only be described as a mess. As long as the people in Cangzhou City where they are located will cut off two hundred heads, they will be considered to have more merit than they can govern Cangzhou decently! And Yang Peng reported 11,600 first-level exploits...

This Yang Peng has always been honest, he dared to report the number of 11,600, could it be that he really killed more than 100 Khitan people? If there are one hundred and fifty true heads among them, it will be enough for him to get rid of the sin of the unfavorable Cangzhou War and the destruction of Baodi City. Xu Nan pondered and gradually became a little excited. Yang Peng, Yang Peng, don't get it all about killing good and risking merit in the end, so that this official can't pull it off! Kill so many people, the officials in the court will not ignore it!

"Pass the troops to prepare for the check, let him go to Dagou tomorrow to verify the head!" The sky was still slightly bright, and Cangzhou Bingbei Dao Cha Dengbei rushed to Dagou with a hundred sergeants. Some time ago, Ye Yu's red light recruited from the north to make the rangers roaming all over Cangzhou, forcing the officials and soldiers to dare not go out of the city at night, and the road was very uneven. Although Yang Peng had already defeated Ye Yu Hongguang at this time, Cha Dengbei and the others were not sure of the news. In their eyes, the road out of Cangzhou City was very dangerous, so Cha Dengbei escorted him with a hundred Zhenhai Battalion soldiers.

Cha Dengbei came to Dagou to inspect the first level. Last night, the governor sent someone to say that Dagou had seized the Khitan head, and asked Cha Dengbei to hurry up to verify the authenticity. Cha Dengbei didn't take it seriously at first, he thought that the sergeant of Dagou had killed the Khitan scout rangers, and probably captured a few heads. Until the man sent by the governor said the number of the first ranks—eleven thousand six hundred! Chaden became nervous.

Eleven thousand six hundred? This is not a bandit, this is the Khitan army that attacked the city in Liao and Mobei, and broke into the Great Song Dynasty several times to plunder like no man's land! Chadenbei didn't believe that this was true, a city lord could capture more than 10,000 heads? Are you kidding? Most of them are good and risky. If it is found that these heads are fake, it is a good and risky killing, I am afraid that the people of the Great Song Dynasty will not spare Yang Peng. A city lord who killed so many people and pretended to be Khitan soldiers is really as fierce as an enemy, I am afraid that Yang Peng will be impeached by the angry officials. In that case, Governor Xu Nan, who was already on the cusp of the storm, would be even more sad.

Even if it is the military preparation Daocha Dengbei, it will also be implicated. This city lord Yang Peng is a madman, how could he do such an incredible thing? Killed so many people? This time, it is going to hurt the Cangzhou contextual military officials. When Cha Deng Bei thought of this, he was very displeased with Yang Peng, who had reported 11,600 battle exploits. He entered the ditch with a black face, left the soldiers of the Zhenhai camp at the gate of the east city, and hurried to the official hall in a hurry. As soon as he entered the official hall, he saw the heads piled up in the courtyard. The 11,600 heads made of lime were piled up like a small mountain, emitting a strong smell of blood, making Chadenbei almost vomit.

The poor people of the Great Song Dynasty have all become the heads of the rebellious army at this time. Cha Dengbei withdrew from the official hall and eased his breath before re-entering the courtyard of the official hall. Walking into the official hall again, he looked at the piled heads, looked carefully, but was taken aback. Vaguely, Chadenbei felt that the outer layer seemed to be the first level. The braids and teeth don't look like the people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Is it a true head? This kind of judgment made Cha Dengbei stunned: Could it be that this Yang Peng really captured tens of thousands of Khitans? The Khitan soldiers fell into his trap and were yin by him? Or is his soldiers comparable to the veterans of a hundred battles of the Khitan soldiers? Chaden's dark face softened a little, and he couldn't help but glance at those heads a few more times. It does seem like it's true. At least the outer layer seems to be real.

Isn't that weird? He was observing there when Yang Peng greeted him. Cha Dengbei looked at Yang Peng, and secretly said that this is today's positive angle. If these heads are true, the imperial court will definitely be rewarded, because Yang Peng is not something that the imperial court can manage. At this time, Cha Dengbei suspected that the first level of the outer layer was all real, and he secretly said that maybe a few hundred of the eleven six hundred heads were true heads. He glanced at Yang Penggao, and when he saw that Yang Peng was about to salute, he immediately went up to support him, and said: "The city lord is exempt from the ceremony, the city lord has made a great contribution, and I am here to verify the head." ”

Yang Peng saw that Cha Dengbei was kind, and secretly said that the treatment of this meritorious service still went up, and pointed to the head in the courtyard and said: "My lord, the head is piled up here, please check it!" Cha Dengbei squinted his eyes, secretly said that this is about to see the real chapter, rolled up his sleeves and said loudly: "Come on, take five basins of water!" After the subordinates put the basin of water, Cha Dengbei took the four officials of the military garrison and began to inspect the heads one by one. He and the officials first put the head into the water to see if the head was face up or the back of the head was up, and if it was indeed a man's head, the head would float face up in the water. Secondly, look at the braids, if it is a tartar that has been shaved for a long time, its braids must be soft and weak. Finally, we have to look at the teeth, the Tartar soldiers eat a lot of meat, and their tooth decay is different from that of the people of the Great Song Dynasty. Finally, I have to check the light and comprehensively judge whether it is the real Khitan head.

The results of the examination greatly surprised Cha Dengbei.

"True Khitan Chief!" "True Khitan Chief!" "True Chief! This..."The bunch of nitrate heads, one by one, were tested, and in the end, they were all real Khitan heads!" It's true, it's indeed 11,600 Khitan heads! Shock, unspeakable shock!

Cha Dengbei sat in the courtyard with four people, inspecting the heads in the courtyard one by one, and he was indescribably shocked. Sit from morning to afternoon. Every time he checked a head, there was more surprise on Cha Dengbei's face. By the time the last one was tested, Cha Dengbei's hands were already trembling slightly with excitement.

Although his hands were trembling, Cha Dengbei's face was full of joy, and his eyes were wide open. 11,600 pieces, all of which are true Khitan heads. Great victory, unprecedented victory! How could the dynasty have such a great success? Who would have thought that Yang Peng, the city lord, would be able to capture more than 10,000 Khitan heads? Especially when this city was attacked by the Khitan one after another, and hundreds of officials did not dare to fight! In this way, Cangzhou doesn't know how many people will benefit from it - with such a big victory, the official family will definitely not be stingy with rewards.

When the time comes, the court will reward you, and it is inevitable that you will be promoted to an official. Maybe he can hang up as a military squire and be a governor in one place at that time, with enough oil and water, and a lot of money. Thinking about it, Cha Dengbei became more and more excited. Seeing that Chadenbei was excited after completing the examination, Yang Peng brought Chadenbei to Yanguli's corpse and said, "My lord, please look, this is the corpse of the Khitan Yelu Hongguang!" ”

Cha Dengbei's eyes lit up as he looked at the fine white scale armor on Na Ye Hongguang's body. Since these heads are real, and since they have killed 11,600 Zhengbei envoys, then the corpse of this Ya Yan red light is estimated to be true.

Great achievement, great achievement! You can't run away from your own reward! Chadenbei was even more excited, and his body trembled a little. In addition to the excitement, Cha Dengbei couldn't help but be a little shocked: the Khitan was so brave that he suffered such a big setback under Cangzhou Dagou City. With 11,600 heads, wouldn't the Khitan's northern envoy be crippled?

How did this Yang Peng do it? It is rumored that Yang Peng is a relative of Xu Nan, but that is not the opponent of the 11,600 Khitan recruited by the north? The Khitan soldiers have been fighting for a long time, how did he Yang Peng capture so many heads, and his soldiers are all divine generals?

Chaden Beiqiang suppressed his excitement and asked carefully: "How did the city lord capture so many Khitan soldiers?" Yang Peng looked at Cha Dengbei, and secretly said that he should not let these Great Song Dynasty officials steal their flintlock pistol skills, and said in disguise: "Don't hide it from the soldiers, there are four thousand soldiers below." Hearing Yang Peng's words that there were 4,000 soldiers, Cha Dengbei nodded, and secretly said that Yang Peng had many industries, that is, he was rich, and said: "It turns out that the city lord has raised so many soldiers with private property, which is really an example for the country!" Yang Peng said: "I have equipped these soldiers with bird guns and strong crossbows. When fighting, thousands of guns are fired together, even the Khitan courage can't support it! ”

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
