The firearms in the trap were sharp, the hit rate was extremely high, and the Khitan troops in the front row fell one after another. The Khitan army wanted to rush into the queue of the trapped regiment to fight, but when they rushed to the front of the formation, they found that there was an iron thistle in front of the formation, and they could not break through. Dozens of war horses recklessly rushed into the obstacle area formed by the thistles, and the hooves of the war horses were immediately stabbed by the spikes of the thistles on the ground. The horse neighed and fell to the ground, and was stabbed to death by more thistles.

If they can't rush up, the Khitan army can only shoot arrows in front of the formation, but the hit rate of the trapped regiment is much higher than that of the Khitan army, and the Khitan army is obviously just sending to death by shooting at each other. The morale of the Khitan army was on the verge of collapse. In such a one-sided battle, no matter how strong-willed an army is, it will not be able to hold on. The last belief that supported the Khitan army was to go around to the Song army's flank and break through, hoping to open a gap from the flank. The Khitan cavalry in the front row turned their horses' heads sixty meters in front of the trapping regiment, and while shooting a round of arrows at the front, they rushed to the two flanks of the trapping regiment, hoping to crush this terrifyingly strong Song army from the weak flank.

The Khitan army was like a river separated by boulders, and went around the sides of the trapped group. However, what awaited them on both sides was not the weak flanks that would collapse in one rush, but five hundred long-waiting rifles. Several platoon commanders gave the order in a loud voice, and seventy rifles on each side fired diagonally at the rushing cavalry in a volley. Before the hundred cavalrymen who rushed to the sides could react, they were beaten with blood by one hundred and forty rifles, and they were killed on their horses.

The trapping regiments lined up in a phalanx have no flanks and rear, no weak points. The Khitan army collapsed. No matter how the elite of the Creek Army in the back row roared, no one in the Khitan Army dared to rush to the muzzle of the trapped regiment again. The cavalry in the front row fled in a panic to both sides, hoping to escape with their lives. The cavalry in the back was suddenly given to the front row, and immediately panicked, and also fled to the sides. The cavalry at the rear, who simply turned their horses and fled.

A few seconds after the flank soldiers fired a volley, the Khitan soldiers had completely collapsed and were no longer in the army. Huyan Chijin did not let go of these fleeing Tartars, ordered the soldiers to continue shooting, and shot three more rounds at the fleeing Khitan soldiers. Another group of people turned on their backs, and more than 100 Khitan soldiers were shot and killed on their horses. The Khitan soldiers who were still alive threw away their armor and flags and honor guards, and only galloped with their heads down.

Half a minute later, the original arrogant "Yeyaha Chaoha Battalion" horse army no longer existed, and only the wolf-rushing Khitan army was left on the plain. Before the trap, the flag of the Khitan army was thrown to the ground, and the corpses of the Khitan soldiers were everywhere. The Khitan horses, which had lost their masters, either stood restlessly on the battlefield, or fled with all their hooves and fled away from the battlefield.

Three hundred soldiers of the trapped regiment scattered in all directions, chasing the aimless Khitan war horses, hoping to capture a few more. After capturing the war horses, the soldiers hurriedly sent the wounded soldiers of the trapped regiment back to the camp on their horses, so that the military doctor could treat the wounded. Other soldiers searched for wounded Khitan soldiers on the battlefield, and cut off the heads of the dead Khitan soldiers and stripped them off their armor.

It took half an hour to finish cutting the head. They put their heads, armor, the banner of the Khitan army, and the live mouth of the Khitan army on the captured horses, and returned triumphantly towards the camp. In this battle, 21 people in the trapped regiment were hit by the bows and arrows of the Khitan soldiers, of which 7 were lightly wounded, 10 were seriously wounded, and 4 were killed. The Khitan army, on the other hand, was killed by the trapping regiment, 404 people were killed, and 41 people were wounded and captured. Of course, there were also some lightly wounded Khitan soldiers who escaped and were not captured by the trapping regiment.

Halfway through the triumphant procession, they suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing in front of them, and a large number of Song troops rushed towards their side. Looking at the formation, at least 10,000 people came to cover and kill. The Song army drove to the trapping regiment, and when they saw the trapping regiment returning with a full load, they stopped in surprise. In the middle of the sound, the ranks of the Song army separated, and Kou Zhun wore armor and rode his Wumingji, leading Shi Pingzhang, Pan Hu and Shi Pinghu to come in line.

Yang Peng hurriedly went up to greet him. As soon as he saw Yang Peng, Kou Zhun blamed: "Why did the city lord come out to attack the Khitan soldiers by himself?" Let my army catch up for a while! Seeing Yang Peng, the two generals also frowned slightly, as if they were blaming Yang Peng for his self-assertion and making them have to support. Yang Peng smiled and arched his hand and said: "A small share of the Khitan army, don't work for the army!" The last general has already defeated him, captured forty-one people alive, and beheaded four hundred and four levels! ”

Kou Zhun was stunned and didn't react for a moment. After being silent for a while, he asked, "You have already defeated the Khitan army in this moment when you come out with a thousand men and horses?" Beheading four hundred? The two generals in the back also looked at each other, with a look of disbelief. Yang Peng said with a smile: "If you bring too many soldiers out, the Khitan soldiers will escape, and it is just right for a thousand people to kill these Khitan soldiers!" Yang Peng pointed back and said loudly: "If Lord Kou doesn't believe it, go to the front to see my gains!" ”

Seeing that Yang Peng's words were conclusive, Kou Zhun and several generals looked at each other a few times, and then went to test the truth of Yang Peng's words. Kou Zhun was not polite, shouted "driving", and rode a horse to Yang Peng's formation to check Yang Peng's capture.

Seeing the more than 400 Tartar heads, blood-stained armor, and the wounded Khitan soldiers who kept shouting, Kou Zhun was stunned all of a sudden. Huaihua General Shi Pingzhang and several people followed, and when they saw Yang Peng's results, they were stunned one by one. The Khitan soldiers are very strong, and if the Song army can capture a few heads on weekdays, the governor and general will write a pen and report it to the heavens. Yang Peng killed more than sixty Tartar scouts a few days ago, which had already surprised the generals. Now that more than 400 have been captured in an easy battle, how can it not make people's hearts beat?

Shi Pingzhang looked at the heads, and then at Yang Peng, with a look of disbelief.

Huaihua General Shi Pingzhang whipped his horse whip in the air and said loudly: "Lord Kou, great victory, great victory!" If this good news goes up, the official family will be praised! Kou Zhun looked at those Khitan heads, and suddenly became stupid, and muttered: "The state has a tiger minister, and the blessing of the society!" The veteran Shi Pingzhang finally came back to his senses, walked towards Yang Peng in surprise, took his hand and asked non-stop, wondering how he intercepted and killed so many Khitan troops. Yang Peng was vague and perfunctory one by one.

Everyone was excited for a while, and then led the army and Yang Peng to return together. Kou Zhun gave Yang Peng special courtesy, and rode his beloved horse and Yang Peng side by side. Kou Zhun said to Yang Peng, "Sir, how about a poem?" Yang Peng looked at Huyan Chijin and said to Kou Zhun: "I will make a poem for Yang Qilang's wife, Huyan Chijin, Lord Kou will not object!" And this battle was fought by Huyan Chijin, I don't dare to be greedy for this credit, seventh sister-in-law, you have no opinion, right? Huyan Chijin blushed and said to Yang Peng, "Little uncle, I have no opinion, I listen to you all," Kou Zhun immediately brought a pen and paper and prepared to write.

Yang Peng looked at the scene on the battlefield and said loudly, "The seven sons of the Yang family all donated their lives, but Liulang was left alone and desolate." Huyan Chijin is a strong woman, and her husband is dressed in a uniform after the funeral. The banner is spread through Changhong, and the knives are dazzling. And the captives are rampant, disturbing my people and violating my territory. For the time being, the enemy has sent heroic martyrs, and the people will sing it until the triumph. The Yang family has been loyal and good for generations, and Dan's heart is forever! Kou Zhun shouted, "Okay, good poetry, worthy of the Yang family's female general Huyan Chijin, good." ”

After walking for more than ten miles, Kou Zhun looked at Yang Peng and said, "The city lord has won more than 400 heads this time and captured forty-one Dongnu alive, which is a great achievement. Can you give some profit to other generals to encourage them to kill the Khitan soldiers? As soon as Yang Peng heard this, he secretly said that this Kou Zhun is here again. Yang Peng thought that it was useless for him to ask for military merits, so he said to Kou Zhun, "The prisoners are left, and it is useless for us to ask for the rest." ”

Yang Peng and Kou Zhun returned victoriously, and the entire reinforcement camp shook. Hearing that Yang Peng had killed more than 400 enemies, and Kou Zhun who went to support had also been captured, the other officers were envious and jealous. They only blamed themselves for not being the imperial court soldiers and horses brought out by Kou Zhun himself, and Dr. Jin Ziguanglu didn't call him for something good.

The officers all went to the big tent of the Chinese army to see the Khitan heads piled together, and they were amazed. Shi Pingzhang asked, "Lord Kou, how many days of food and grass do we have in our army now?" Kou Zhun muttered: "There are only five days of grain and grass left." Shi Pingzhang thought for a while, didn't speak, and retreated.

Shi Pinghu snorted angrily and scolded: "Li Teh is making things so difficult for us, what kind of battle are you fighting?" Go back to Bianjing! Shi Pingzhang shook his head and said, "If we escape, I'm afraid we will be charged with escaping!" Shi Pinghu said angrily: "Then what should I do, could it be that a group of our big living people were played to death by Li Te?" Instead of starving to death, it is better to fight with the Khitan army! Shi Pingzhang's face was cloudy and uncertain, and he did not speak.

How can a few generals in a unit fight Li Te, who is deeply favored by the Son of Heaven and is in charge of the military department. The generals in the camp had no choice, they all fell silent, and in the end, the whole tent was very quiet, and no one spoke. Kou Zhun looked at the top of the big tent and sighed. It seems that there is no way out. Kou Zhun was desperate there, but he heard a voice say, "Lord Kou, there will be a way in the end!" ”

Kou Zhun hurriedly followed the sound and saw that it was Yang Peng who spoke. The generals' eyes lit up, and they all looked at Yang Peng who was speaking, and they all wanted to listen to what he could do. Kou Zhun had a happy face and said, "What plan does the city lord have, say it quickly!" ”

Yang Peng looked at the dozen or so generals who were staring at him, and said, "The last general tortured those Khitan scouts, knowing that the Khitan concentrated all the looted grain and grass in Yingzhou County. There was a fort with more than 20,000 stones of grain and grass, and only 5,000 guards. Why don't we kill the army and rob all this grain and grass? When everyone heard this, they all took a breath. It's not so easy to grab the grain and grass of the Khitan soldiers! The grain and grass of the Khitan army must have been hidden in the fortress that was attacked, protected by the city wall. Five thousand Khitan soldiers defended the danger, and the Song army couldn't beat it for a month - the Song army didn't even dare to fight with the Khitan army in the field in these years, how could they beat the Khitan soldiers defending the city?

If the Khitan army returns to help when the siege is exhausted, the Khitan soldiers inside and outside the city will attack inside and outside, and it will be a complete defeat. What's more, now there are only five days of food and grass left in the army, and there is not enough time to siege the city. Hearing Yang Peng's suggestion, everyone was a little disappointed, and secretly said that this was not a good strategy.

"Lord of the city, this strong city attacking the Khitan, I'm afraid it won't be able to be defeated in half a month!" "I'm afraid that after a few days of attack, the Khitan soldiers will return to help, and we will be besieged under the city!" "Now that my army only has five days of food and grass, how can I get the fortified city guarded by the 5,000 Khitan army?"

Kou Zhun thought about it, sighed, and felt that he would not be able to take the grain and grass of the Khitan army within five days. Seeing that everyone was disappointed, Yang Peng arched his hand and said: "Yang Peng is willing to lead 10,000 people from his headquarters to go, and he will take these grains and grass within five days!" Hearing Yang Peng's words, everyone opened their eyes wide one by one and looked Yang Peng up and down.

Why is this Yang Peng so confident, doesn't he know the strength of the Khitan soldiers? Kou Zhun looked at Yang Peng in surprise and said, "There are five thousand guards there, and according to this, there is another day away, and the city lord can break through the Khitan army fortress in four days?" ”

Yang Peng said proudly: "Yang Peng is confident that he can break the Khitan army fortress!" Kou Zhun thought of the strong crossbow in Yang Peng's army, his face was happy, and he said: "If you can get more than 20,000 stones of grain and grass, then my army will not be short of food for three months." Go to the lord of the city, and I will do it for you!" ”

Yang Peng arched his hand and said: "Don't bother Lord Kou, I will lead the troops here, if I succeed, Lord Kou will come to Yingzhou to join me!" Yang Peng returned to the Tiger Division, led 10,000 soldiers and horses to leave the army, and went to Yingzhou in the south of the capital. Gu'an Town has been captured by the Khitan army, the city has been looted by the Khitan soldiers, and all the people and animals have been taken away, and the scene is very bleak. The Khitan sent 300 auxiliary soldiers to guard the city of Gu'an, but they did not mean to hold the city. However, Yang Peng did not attack Gu'an City, which had no grain stock, but found the fortress of the Khitan army to store grain according to the confession of the captives.

It was a fort with a circumference of two miles, the walls were five or six meters high, and only one gate was opened on the south side. There are various traps and potholes outside the city, and there are 5,000 Khitan troops guarding grain in the city. Seeing Yang Peng's soldiers and horses killed, the Qing army guarding the grain closed the city gate and stuck in the tunpu and did not come out. Yang Peng rode around the city wall, felt that the traps in the south of the city were less rejected, and decided to attack this fort from here.

Yang Peng's siege method is a flintlock pistol, which has never been seen by the Tartars of this era! Yang Peng first wanted to knock out the pheasants on the city wall. These moats can protect the Khitan archers on the city wall, and if they are not defeated, Huyan Chijin's troops will be damaged. Yang Peng's 140 six-strong crossbows lined up 300 meters outside the city and opened fire on the pheasants on the city wall.

As soon as the arrow rang out, the rumbling sound was incessant, resounding for several miles. The scene of more than 100 strong crossbows bombarding the city wall stunned the Khitan army on the city wall. Where have these Khitan soldiers from the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai seen so many strong crossbows, and they start shooting arrows at 800 meters? With the roar of the crossbow, the pheasant moats on the city wall turned into nothing.

Those pheasants were very thin, and they couldn't withstand the Khitan bombardment, and one arrow broke one after another. Yang Peng's strong crossbow fought for a morning, and an arrow like a tooth was drawn out, and all the pheasants on the south side of the city wall were leveled. When did the Qing army defending the city see such firepower? They tried to hide behind the pheasant moat to avoid the long arrows, but they were often injured and killed by the debris that burst out from the cannon moat.

There was no danger on the city wall, but the Khitan soldiers were reluctant to give up the city wall. How can you defend the city if you abandon the city wall? In the end, the Khitan left more than 200 corpses on the city wall, and then reluctantly withdrew. The southern part of the city was deserted at the end, and there was only one place left for rolling stones and trees. After destroying the city wall, Yang Peng began to attack the city. Yang Peng's soldiers and horses were all riflemen, and of course they couldn't rely on the ladder to attack, which would not reflect the advantages of the flintlock pistol at all. Yang Peng asked the soldiers to go outside the city to cut wood, and made 500 wells and fences six meters high.

The well railing was six meters wide and four meters long, and was equipped with wheels underneath to gradually push it to the edge of the city wall. More than thirty soldiers can stand on each well railing, and the rifleman standing on the well rail can condescendingly shoot the Khitan soldiers on the city wall. Destroying the pheasant moat on the city wall, Yang Peng let the well fence lean up. The soldiers pushed the wheels of the well fence and pushed the well fence a hundred meters away from the city wall.

The Khitan soldiers defending the city saw that the well fence on this side was coming up, and knew that if they didn't fight back, the city wall would be occupied by the Tiger Division, so they rushed up. More than 200 unwilling Khitan auxiliaries rushed to the city wall and tried to shoot arrows. But a hundred meters was too far for the Tartars' arrows to shoot. And they rushed to the city wall to shoot arrows, and they were undoubtedly the best targets for riflemen from a hundred meters away. Originally, the Khitan soldiers came up to shoot arrows only to deter the Tiger Division, but they didn't expect the Tiger Division's fire guns to shoot so far. They couldn't stop it, but they lost their lives.

Only a crackling gun was heard, and the riflemen on the well railing took aim at the Tartar archers and opened fire. Hundreds of riflemen took turns firing, and hundreds of bullets shot at the city wall at a rapid pace, shooting into the bodies of the Khitan soldiers. Most of these Khitan soldiers defending the city were auxiliaries and miscellaneous soldiers, and they did not wear armor, so they could not protect themselves from the bullets of the infantry of the Tiger Division. The skin of the Khitan soldiers was torn open by bullets, the fragile body parts were stirred into a ball of blood, and two hundred Khitan soldiers fell one after another on the unobstructed city wall, turning into a bloody corpse.

Only more than thirty Khitan soldiers were killed and were not hit by the riflemen who fired in turns. They jumped off the city wall in a panic, and they saved their lives. The Khitan soldiers no longer dared to walk on the southern city wall. The city wall to the south of Tunpu has been completely suppressed by the Tiger Ben Division. The soldiers of the Tiger Division gradually filled in the traps outside the city, and the well railings leaned towards the city wall little by little. The well fence is eight meters high, which is more than five meters above the city wall. After the well fence is close to the city wall, the riflemen on the well fence can shoot at the Khitan soldiers behind the city wall. The well fence leaned up little by little, and the soldiers on the well fence kept shooting the Khitan auxiliaries hiding behind the city wall.

Now the well fence is shooting condescendingly, and it is not safe even behind the city walls. The Tartars could only hide behind the buildings in the bunker, and from time to time they would rush out and shoot an arrow or two. But compared to rifles with an accuracy of 8 or 90 percent within 70 meters, their bow shooting accuracy is much worse. Moreover, the shooting ports on the well fence were equipped with wooden guardrails above and below, and the Tartar bows and arrows could not hurt the soldiers on the well fence at all unless they were fired into the shooting port accurately. After a few minutes of shooting, only a few of the soldiers on the well fence were shot by Tartar bows and arrows, but more than a hundred Khitan auxiliaries who resisted were killed.

But there are still more than 200 Khitan foot armor standing against the root of the city wall, unwilling to leave, and want to defend the southern city wall. The morale of these Khitan infantry armor is very tenacious, and at this time they are blocked by the city wall, and they are in the shooting corner of the well railing, and the riflemen on the well fence have nothing to do with them. To deal with these Khitan infantry armor who will not retreat, the only way to deal with them is to rely on hand-to-hand combat. The cavalry of the 2,000 Xuanfeng Regiment with handcuffs in hand jumped off their horses, loaded their handguns, and walked towards the city wall with ladders under the leadership of Yang Bamei. They calmly placed the ladder on the city wall, held it steady, and waited for the trumpets of the Chinese army.

Yang Peng and the other 200 ladders of the selection regiment were all put in place, and only then did the Chinese army blow the horn. Under the command of the sound of the trumpet, the cavalry of the two thousand Xuanfeng regiments attacked at the same time and took the lead in rushing to the city wall. As soon as they climbed the city wall, they aimed their handcuffs at the stone steps of the upper and lower city walls in the tun fort. Sure enough, seeing that the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Division on this side had climbed the city wall, the Khitan infantry standing at the foot of the city wall howled and rushed up to the city wall.

Not only that, but the Khitan auxiliaries hiding on the east and west walls of Tunpu also made a noise, howling and rushing towards the south city wall, trying to drive down the soldiers of the Xuanfeng Regiment who attacked the city wall. The Khitan archers, who were hiding behind the buildings, also jumped out and shot arrows at the city walls.

Although most of these Khitans defending the city were auxiliaries and miscellaneous soldiers, they followed the large army to defeat the Xu Song army for many years, and they had a condescending sense of superiority over the Song army. At this time, although the southern city wall was suppressed by the well fence, although the firepower of the Song army was a little incredibly strong, they still did not think that the Song army could defeat them, and they still had the morale to impact the Song army that attacked the southern city wall.

However, the cavalry of the Xuanfeng Regiment were not vegetarians, and they opened fire with handcuffs at the Khitan soldiers who were rushing up the stone steps. There are only four stone steps on the 250-meter-long southern wall that lead to the wall. The stone steps are just over two meters wide and can only pass three people at a time. The Khitan soldiers walking on these two stone steps became the best targets for handcuffs. The soldiers of the Election Regiment who climbed the city wall opened fire on the stone steps, and more than a thousand handcuffs were fired one after another, turning the Khitan infantry armor that rushed up the stone steps into a hornet's nest.

The Khitan infantry soldiers howled and rushed up the stone steps and were killed. Then the one behind rushed up and was killed again. Rush again, get killed again. Frightened, he ran away and was killed again. In the end, there were three or four layers of corpses piled up inside and outside the stone steps, and more than 200 Khitan infantry armors hiding behind the dead corners of the city wall were all killed. As for the Khitan auxiliaries rushing over on the east and west city walls, the selection regiment was handed over to the riflemen on the well railing. The width of the city wall was very narrow, only more than three meters wide, and the Khitan rushed from the city wall and there were only four or five people at most on a front. More than 200 rifles on the eight well railings outside the city wall were aimed at the narrow three-meter pouring ammunition, and again and again the Khitan auxiliaries who rushed forward were beaten into a sieve.

The Khitan soldiers, who were hiding behind the buildings below the city wall, saw that the Xuanfeng regiment had rushed up the city wall and tried to jump out and shoot arrows. But the riflemen on the well fence had been waiting for them to come out for a long time. Often, as soon as the Khitan soldiers emerged, they had to be aimed and shot with several rifles. After a few rounds, the bows and arrows of the Khitan soldiers were greatly disadvantaged. Moreover, the Selector Regiment wore chain mail, and the bows and arrows fired from under the city walls could not hurt them unless they hit the vital point.

The bows of the Khitan army auxiliaries are not strong bows, and their armor-piercing ability is very low. Soldiers of the Elector Regiment will not be seriously injured unless they are shot in the face or in the vital senses. After two or three rounds of shooting, the Khitan soldiers finally shot down more than 20 soldiers of the Selective Regiment, but they were killed and wounded more than 100 archers. At this time, the soldiers of the Election Regiment on the city wall also put away their handcuffs, raised their rifles on their backs and aimed them at the buildings below the city. The archers of the Khitan soldiers were pointed at by thousands of rifles, and they no longer dared to come out to shoot arrows.

Although the morale of the Khitan soldiers was very high, their counterattack was repulsed by the soldiers of the Tiger Division. The Khitan soldiers were hit hard, and there was something incredible. Where did this come from, and why is the combat effectiveness so strong? The leader of the Khitan soldiers in the tunpu was an elite of the Xi army, and he stood on the north city wall at this time, watching his soldiers die one by one under the handcuffs and guns of the Song army, and his stomach was incredible. How can this Song army have so many bird cannons? The Song army actually has such a strong combat effectiveness? Is this still Song Jun?

After all, let's see how it will be broken down next time
