Hu Yuan saw that Xiao Tianzuo also shouted Yang Peng's name, as if he had been amnestied, he hurriedly said: "Yes, commander, it's this Yang Peng again!" It's not Hu Yuan's waste, it's really that Yang Peng's soldiers and horses are too strong! Xiao Tianyou put the index finger and thumb of his right hand together and rubbed them gently, and asked Hu Yuan loudly, "Hu Yuan, how did he beat you?" "Hu Yuan Xuanran is a training envoy of the Youzhou regiment, but because his biological mother is low, his status among the Khitan nobles is not high, and he does not have many hundred-man teams. Although Xiao Tianyou is Hu Yuan's brother-in-law, as the younger brother of the commander of the Great Liao State, he has repeatedly made military exploits, and Xiao Tianyou's status has always been above Hu Yuan. Hu Yuan was also accustomed to being interrogated condescendingly by Xiao Tianyou.

Hu Yuan looked at Xiao Tianyou and said loudly: "General, then Yang Peng has arranged 10,000 soldiers and horses on the east flank of Kou Zhun, including more than 100 strong crossbows. Six thousand soldiers and horses on my right flank rushed forward, and only a rumbling of arrows was heard, and a thousand men were killed by strong crossbow arrows in front of the formation, and the right flank was crushed. "As soon as the right flank collapses, then Yang Peng immediately leads his troops to outflank the middle and left flanks, and I can only withdraw the troops and withdraw all the soldiers and horses." "I was chased and killed by the Song army all the way, and finally broke more than 700 vests, more than 800 foot armors, and more than 1,000 auxiliaries to follow."

Hearing Hu Yuan's words, the nobles of the Great Liao Kingdom in the big tent of the Khitan army stirred for a while, and they talked about each other. Strong crossbows are not new, at this time, the Khitan and Song armies are equipped with strong crossbows, for example, Xiao Tianzuo's left wing army has more than 30 strong crossbows, and Xiao Tianyou's right wing army also has more than 20 strong crossbows. But Yang Peng's 10,000 soldiers and horses are equipped with more than 100 strong crossbows, which is too well-equipped, and this firepower is too fierce.

What was the scene of more than a hundred powerful crossbows firing in front of the formation? What kind of damage will it cause? After thinking about it, all the nobles of the Great Liao Kingdom shuddered.

No wonder Hu Yuan collapsed. Han Derang, who was sitting at the bottom left of Xiao Tian, said loudly: "This Yang Peng is indeed brave. Our right-wing army was captured by a Song army under the banner of Yang Zi in two days at Hanjiazhuang, Tunliang Tunbao, Gu'an County, with a loss of 300 infantry armor and 2,600 auxiliary soldiers. Now it seems that the capture of Hanjiazhuang must also be Yang Peng's soldiers and horses. ”

The commanders discussed for a while, and finally Zhang Hua stood up and said: "Two generals, we are here to plunder the population and materials in the belly of the Song army, not to entangle with the Song army. This Yang Peng's military horse is too strong, I suggest that he avoid it when he meets him in the future to avoid unnecessary losses of soldiers and horses. ”

The Xi nobles were attached to the Liao people, but they were unwilling to use the lives of their warriors as a stepping stone for the hegemony of the Liao people. Several other Xi nobles seconded Zhang Hua's suggestion and said loudly: "Instead of bumping into Yang Peng, it is better to fight a few more counties and grab a few more cities!" "We have grabbed personnel and materials, and we can be strong. The strength of the soldiers and horses is their own benefit, and it is their own loss to touch Yang Peng, so don't fight to the death with a strong enemy for the sake of momentary spirit, and lose the soldiers. ”

"More than a hundred strong crossbows are too scary, how many soldiers do you have to lose before you can rush forward?" Seeing the weakness and evasion of the nobles of the Xi clan and the foreign domain, Xiao Tianyou and Han Derang glanced at each other and were very disdainful. These Xi people are banditry, and if they can grab a bucket of millet, they will first grab a bucket of millet, without any long-term consideration, no wonder they will be broken one by one by our Great Liao State, driven by my Great Liao.

Hu Yuan looked at the two main generals and said: "Two generals, I also don't think I can have a hard time with Yang Peng, and when we see his soldiers and horses in the future, we will leave!" We have a lot of horses, and he can't catch up with us! Xiao Tianyou was very dissatisfied with Hu Yuan's weakness, snorted coldly, and said: "Fear the enemy like a tiger!" Was he chased by Yang Peng after that? Where has the majesty of my Great Liao Kingdom gone? ”

Hu Yuan said: "To take down this Yang Peng, I don't know how much blood will be shed!" I think even if Empress Dowager Xiao is here, he won't attack Yang Peng! Xiao Tianyou sneered: "Hu Yuan, you are scared of Yang Peng." If I meet Yang Peng, I will definitely not be defeated by him! Han Derang also smiled and said: "Hu Yuan, you have lost all the prestige of my Great Liao Kingdom!" ”

Xiao Tianyou shook his head and said: "If this Yang Peng is not eliminated for a day, he will be a big day." It's better to be late than early, and don't give him a chance to break us. I think we won't attack Jinan this time, we will gather troops to march west, destroy Yang Peng first, and then slowly plunder in various states and counties. Xiao Tianzuo touched his pigtail and was silent.

It wasn't until everyone looked at him at the end that Xiao Tianzuo said: "I heard that Yang Peng raised soldiers with private property, and his industries include soap, glass, mirrors, cloth and steel, all of which are concentrated in Cangzhou Tianjing New Town. "If these industries of Yang Peng are destroyed, Yang Peng's soldiers and horses will have no money to support at all, and they will all be disbanded!" "Yang Peng is now far away in Jinghai, and we sent 40,000 people to Jinghai to drag him, harass him and entangle him. Send another 30,000 people to take Tianjing New City and destroy his roots! Without industry, he has nothing to worry about! ”

Hearing Xiao Tianzuo's words, all the Xi nobles were stunned, and none of them spoke. It took a long time for these nobles to react, and one by one they said loudly: "Commander's clever plan!" "High! The commander is indeed wise! ”

"The Great General is wise! That's a great plan! Yang Peng was anxious when he received the information from Jinyiwei. These Khitans are so cunning, and when they are defeated by themselves, they divide their troops and raid their hometowns. For example, today there are only more than 2,000 soldiers defending Beijing New City, where can the 30,000 Khitan army defend it? If Tianjing New City was captured by the Qing army, its own industry would be completely finished. Without industrial support, the Tiger Benshi is also a soilless wood, or it will collapse in a few months.

Yang Peng couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly back to Tianjing New Town, and immediately asked Kou Zhun for his resignation. Yang Peng left Kou Zhun's army and rushed to Tianjing New City day and night. Jinghai is three hundred miles away from Tianjing New Town, and Yang Peng led a large army to rush to Tianjing New City in only five days.

Outside Tianjing New City, the Khitan army has been besieging the city for three days. 30,000 men surrounded the city three layers inside and three layers outside, as if it were an iron barrel. Against the strong crossbows on the city wall, the auxiliary soldiers of the Khitan army pushed the chariot to fill the trench traps, and approached the city wall little by little, until they saw Yang Peng's returning soldiers and horses.

Yang Peng's return of reinforcements surprised the Khitan army. The Khitan army hurriedly withdrew the siege equipment, retreated two miles, picked up swords and lined up in the north of the city, and confronted Yang Peng's soldiers and horses. Yang Peng led his troops to the foot of the city wall in the north of the city and joined the 2,000 soldiers in the city. In the Chinese army tent of the Khitan army, the nobles of the Xi tribe were very surprised by Yang Peng's return, and argued about whether to fight or retreat.

Xiao Tianyou blushed his face and looked at the nobles of the Xi clan who were desperately trying to retreat, and said nothing. Zhang Hua said: "General, we originally came to attack Yang Peng's rear. Now that Yang Peng is back, our trip has lost its meaning, it's time to retreat! Xiao Tianma said: "General, that Yang Peng's soldiers are strong and strong, plus the two thousand soldiers and horses on the city wall have more than 10,000 strong soldiers, the general must not talk about a decisive battle lightly, and sacrifice the soldiers in my banner in this Tianjing New City in vain!" ”

Hu Yuan said: "At the beginning, Ye Yu Hongguang relied on many waves of soldiers, but as a result, the North Recruitment Envoy was disabled. Now that Yang Peng's soldiers and horses are three times as large as they were then, we must not underestimate the enemy! Xiao Tianyou snorted coldly and said, "Then as soon as Yang Peng came, you ran away with your tail between your legs?" Xiao Tianma said loudly: "General! The commander Xiao Tianzuo didn't want to fight Yang Peng to the death, so he came up with this strategy to copy his back road. Now that Yang Peng has returned to help, the strategy has failed, we should go back to Mozhou, how can we change our hexagram halfway and fight Yang Peng? ”

Hu Yuan also said: "If the general wants to go to war, it will go against the original intention of the commander!" Xiao Tianyou glanced coldly at several Xi nobles and looked at his deputy general, Han Derang. Han Derang thought for a while and said: "General, then Yang Peng is also a human, not a three-headed and six-armed monster, so you don't need to be so afraid of him." We have 30,000 people, and I think we can fight! If there are so many troops that we don't dare to fight, we won't be able to enter the fortress and plunder in the future. ”

Xiao Tianyou nodded and said, "This is what my Great Liao warrior should say!" He stood up and said loudly: "Tomorrow and Yang Peng's decisive battle outside the city, those who dare to retreat again, behead!" Several Xi nobles glanced at each other, their faces pale.

Zhan Jinguo led 2,000 soldiers to walk out of Shangwu Gate, the north gate of Tianjing New City, and joined Yang Peng's soldiers and horses. Zhan Jinguo found Li Yangpeng in the Chinese army and said loudly: "Big brother, it has only been three days since the messenger who asked you for help was sent, and I thought it would take you at least half a month to get there, and I was worried that the city would be broken by the Khitan soldiers this time!" ”

Yang Peng nodded and said: "By mistake, this time the ministers of the court helped, and as soon as the Khitan army and horses moved, someone notified me to return to help, so I came back so quickly!" Yang Peng looked at the pit trap outside the city that had been filled in a quarter, and he couldn't be so careless in the future. If only 2,000 people were left to defend the city, it would be easy for the Khitan to break through the city. In the future, at least 5,000 people must be left to defend the city, and 40 crossbows and 6 strong crossbows must be left to be foolproof.

However, if you leave 5,000 people to defend the city, you can only bring out 7,000 soldiers and horses, and you can't resist the combined attack of tens of thousands of Khitan people. After thinking about it, the troops are still insufficient, and it is still necessary to expand the army. Zhan Jinguo looked at the Khitan army in the distance and asked, "Big brother, I have carefully observed these Khitans with a telescope, there are 10,000 Khitans of the Xi tribe, 15,000 Khitans of the Liao Kingdom, and some Goryeo and Han people. If they don't leave, will we have to fight these Khitan soldiers? ”

Yang Peng looked at the Khitan army in the distance and said, "I don't know what these 30,000 Khitan soldiers think, if they retreat, I won't chase them." If they dare to come up and challenge, I will fight them once! After Yang Peng said this, he sent two hundred soldiers to the south of the city and drove away the hundreds of Khitan soldiers in the pig farm. These days, the Khitan soldiers feel that the soldiers are invincible, thinking that they can slowly eat the pigs in the pig farm, but they have not destroyed the pig farm. A large amount of pig food was piled up in the warehouse of the pig farm, and the Khitan left hundreds of auxiliary soldiers in the pig farm to feed the pigs and kill the pigs.

30,000 Khitan soldiers occupied the pig farm, ate meat with an open stomach, and killed a thousand pigs in three days. As soon as Yang Peng's two hundred musketeers arrived, the auxiliaries occupying the pig farm were scattered. After Yang Peng dealt with the pig farm, he walked into the city. Yang Paifeng waited anxiously in front of the official hall, and as soon as he saw Zhang Xiang, Yang Paifeng threw himself into Zhang Xiang's arms and cried non-stop.

On December 8, only 10,000 of Kou Zhun's army remained in Dingzhou. The morning was particularly cold, and the sun was overshadowed by thick clouds. Last night, the scouts reported that there were Khitan army rangers all around, and it was obvious that most of the Khitan army was about to be killed. Kou Zhun stayed awake all night, and when he tossed and turned in the middle of the night, he saw countless iron horses and glaciers in his mind, and he saw the past of his life: he saw that he had been reading at night since he was a child, reciting the words of the saints; I saw how I got up early every day to practice arching horses when I was a child; He saw his deceased father, and when he saw his father dancing happily when he was a high school jinshi on the gold list, he took him back to his hometown to worship his ancestors; He saw his self-satisfied appearance when he was in Xuanda Tuntian, accumulating 200,000 stones, and receiving official awards; He saw himself in the middle of the court, and saw himself chasing and killing the rebellion in the mountains of Yunyang, covered in blood.

The past is like a picture scroll, one by one in his mind. He couldn't sleep, and he got up before dawn. As soon as he got up, he faintly heard the galloping of military horses and the shouting of slaves outside the barracks. "Chen An! What's going on out there? Chen An ran over with a panicked face, knelt on the ground and shouted, "My lord, we have been surrounded by the Khitan army on all sides!" ”

Kou Zhun closed his eyes, opened his eyes for a while and asked, "How many Khitan soldiers are there?" Chen An said loudly: "There are more than 30,000 Khitan troops!" "30,000 Khitan troops, how can you stop your 10,000 remnants? Kou Zhun returned to the big tent of the Chinese army and sat on a chair to think about countermeasures. Slowly, the sergeants woke up. They all knew that their army had been surrounded by the Khitan army, and they all gathered around the big tent of the Chinese army, looking at the big tent anxiously, hoping that Lord Kou would come up with countermeasures.

Kou Zhun sighed when he saw that there were more and more people surrounding outside. He walked out of the big tent and looked at the 10,000 young soldiers who were dazed, and two tears couldn't help but flow from his face. These are all strong soldiers who follow themselves all the way and dare to kill the Khitan, and they are all the blood of the country, but today they are going to die in Dingzhou. Now the enemy is rushing west, the reinforcements are separated from the east, the big guys are obstructing, everything is contained, and today this is the place where the bones are buried...

Flicking the front of his filial piety clothes, Kou Zhun knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, and bowed to the soldiers on all sides and said: "I will receive the favor of the court with the soldiers, and I will not die if I suffer, and I will not live if I don't suffer." The 10,000 people stared blankly at the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor Kou Zhun who was kneeling in front of the big tent, and was silent. After a long time, the soldiers gradually cried. In the end, no one dared to look up at Kou Zhun, and 10,000 people gritted their teeth and said:

"Fight with the Khitan!" "Kill slaves to repay the country!" "I'm here to die with my lords!" "I'm here to die with my lords!" Kou Zhun shouted loudly: "Guan Yu has a broken head, and the horse aid is wrapped in leather, at this time!" "Bazhai, fight to the death with the Khitan!" Guan Yu is decapitated, and Ma Yuan is wrapped in leather, at this time! "Bazhai, fight to the death with the Khitan!"

Yang Peng rode on his horse, looked at the Khitan army camp in the distance, and was silent. The Khitan army in front of him seemed to be hesitating to attack Yang Peng, and lined up outside the city for a day without action. If Yang Peng retreated into the city, the Tartars would definitely not be able to capture the city, so they could only leave. But in that case, the pig farms and other peripheral facilities will be destroyed by the Tartars, not to mention the houses of the surrounding people, all of them will be destroyed.

This time, the Khitan army went straight to Tianjing New Town from under Mozhou City, just wanting to take Yang Peng's lair as quickly as possible, and there was no time to destroy it along the way, and the villages and towns around Tianjing New City were still intact. Yang Peng confronted the Khitan soldiers outside the city, and he was able to keep the property of the surrounding people. When he saw the village near the pig farm, Yang Peng burned in anger.

Yang Peng angrily raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Heavenly Dao is insufficient, I'll wait for the puppet to make up for it!" The whole army marches, kills the Khitan dogs, and avenges the common people! "Kill the Khitan dog!" Hearing Yang Peng's roar of killing the Khitan dog, 12,000 tiger masters shouted one after another, and their voices were higher and higher.

"Kill the Khitan dog!" "Kill the Khitan dog!" "Kill the Khitan dog!!"

The roars of more than 10,000 people resounded throughout the four fields. Where have the Khitan soldiers and horses two miles away seen such momentum? They didn't know why the Ming and Song armies were suddenly so angry, and they panicked one by one. Yang Peng's prestige has been far away, and at this time, he is so mournful that the soldiers will win, how can ordinary people stop it?

Khitan Hu Yuan was very panicked when he saw the Tiger Benshi approaching. Xiao Tianyou in the formation didn't pay attention, and fled to his soldiers and horses on horseback. When he arrived at his own soldiers, Hu Yuan shouted, "Escape with me." In a cloud of smoke and dust, Hu Yuan fled with his Khitan warriors. The 500 personal soldiers of the Khitan Chinese army went out to chase and kill the deserters, but they couldn't stop the deserters' horses' hooves, and after chasing for a while, they reluctantly turned back.

Yang Peng's 12,000 Tiger Ben division lined up the phalanx, lined up 140 strong crossbows in front, and inexorably slaughtered more than 20,000 Khitan soldiers.

Hu Yuan's escape obviously caused chaos in the Khitan army, and Xiao Tianyou began to suspect that the other Xi generals around him had risen up, and put the guards back to surround the Chinese army, making a gesture to prevent the Xi nobles from escaping. This kind of distrust of the arrangement of the Xi people made those Xi nobles angry.

After Yang Peng's soldiers and horses were escorted a mile away, Xiao Tianyou stabilized his position and ordered the whole army to advance towards Yang Peng's tiger division. The military flag waved and the horn sounded, and the more than 20,000 Khitan troops stretched for several miles, howling loudly, and rushed towards Yang Peng's phalanx. Xiao Tianyou used some scheming when he set up the formation, letting the 15,000 soldiers of the Xi tribe rush in front, and let the soldiers of the Great Liao Kingdom follow behind and charge.

"Kill the Khitan dog!" At a distance of two hundred and fifty meters, Yang Peng's one hundred and forty strong crossbows were shot with long arrows. More than a thousand bows and arrows are a thousand Grim Reapers, shot at the Khitan soldiers with blood on their hands. The blood flower was like the inquisitor's salute flower, blooming one after another on the body of the Khitan soldiers in the front row, connecting into one piece. Those long arrows were able to pierce through the bodies of the two layers of Tartars, causing a tragic killing to the Tartars in the front row

In just one shot, one hundred and forty strong crossbows killed more than 1,000 Khitan soldiers. The front of the battle was filled with blood and stumps in an instant, and mutilated corpses were everywhere. The Khitan soldiers were hit hard, and they all panicked all at once. His feet trembled, and the soles of his feet went limp, and he slowed down the pace of the charge.

Xiao Tianyou of the Chinese army had long known that he would be hit hard by the strong crossbow of the Song army, but seeing the tragic situation after being shot with his own eyes still shocked him: the soldiers in the front row of two miles wide on the battlefield were almost completely wiped out, and the front of the formation of nearly 30,000 people charging was beaten alive. The scene of blood flying is like a massacre. Xiao Tianyou gritted his teeth, stretched his right hand into the skirt armor, and subconsciously pinched his thigh, pinching his thigh without paying attention.

The Khitan soldiers, who were lucky not to be hit by the shotgun, finally walked fifty meters and rushed to the firing range of the Tiger Division's rifles. The front of the phalanx was in a three-stage strike formation at this time, and there were 1,000 people in each row on the front. When the trembling Khitan army entered the firing range of 200 meters, the roars of the soldiers of the Tiger Division rang out one after another.

"Kill the Khitan dog!" "Kill the Khitan dog!!"

A thousand soldiers of the Tiger Division shouted to kill slaves, aimed at the Khitan army and pressed the trigger. In the crackling sound of gunfire, flintlock rifles spat out tongues of fire, and patches of thick fog emerged in front of the Tiger Division. The Xi Tartars in the front row of the Khitan army fell down one by one like straw cut by a sickle. After the soldiers in the front row finished shooting, they withdrew from the right, and the soldiers in the back row were already ready to go, stepped up and stood in the front row, and began the second shot.

"Kill the Khitan dog!" "Kill the Khitan dog!!"

There was another crackling gunshot, and one by one the Khitan soldiers of the Xi tribe fell in a pool of blood like cannon fodder used to fill the forbidden area of death in front of the battle. The two hundred meters in front of the battle turned into a morgue, filled with dead bodies in various postures. Some of the Khitan soldiers who were not dead screamed loudly, convulsed, and pressed their wounds to try to stop the bleeding. Some Khitan soldiers with severed hands and feet even hobbled in search of their severed limbs, turning the front of the battle into a miserable Shura hell.

But the soldiers of the Tiger Division were still shooting angrily.

"Kill the Khitan dog!" "Kill the Khitan dog!!" When he saw the tiger master coming, he was very panicked. Xiao Tianyou in the formation didn't pay attention, and fled to his soldiers and horses on horseback. to his own soldiers.

Lin Qing'er and She Lao Taijun watched Yang Peng with Zhang Xiang on the city wall, Zhan Jin Guo, Huyan Chijin, and Yang Bamei They were fighting with the Khitan soldiers, and they were already full of emotion in their hearts, and She Lao Taijun said, "The Yang family army is alive. Yang Jiajun is alive again, they are all my children, they are all good children, haha"

After all, what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
