Chapter 84. Slash Xiao Tianyou.

The Khitan auxiliaries and followers collapsed. Although they had the greed for battle exploits and the determination to fight hard, in front of them were the iron-blooded Tiger Ben Division riflemen, not the weak other Song troops. In the face of strong crossbows and rifles, how can flesh and blood bargain? After being shot by a crossbow and a platoon of guns, the auxiliaries and followers understood the strength of the enemy, lost the confidence to win the battle, and scattered.

They turned into routs and fled from both sides of the Elector Regiment and the Bandar Regiment. They were originally a rabble in a hurry, driven by greed for a short moment, and then returned to their weak nature. They retreated like the waters of the low tide, exposing the reef behind the waters. Behind them, five thousand Khitan infantry armor appeared in Yang Peng's field of vision. Five thousand horse armors were draped in iron sheet cotton armor, holding a walking bow, and rushed forward quickly.

That was Xiao Tianyou's last force, and this time, Xiao Tianyou could be said to have bet all his old books. If this infantry armor of 5,000 people is defeated, Xiao Tianyou will be completely lost. This infantry soldier is armed with a bow and arrow, ready to shoot at the Tiger Warrior. The Khitans were good at foot combat, and when they dismounted to fight, they were stronger in both hand-to-hand combat and archery than when they were on horseback. The Khitan people's foot bow is divided into six force bows, eight force bows and ten force bows according to the size of the bow force, and one force is almost ten catties of pulling force. Elite Hada and some vests can wield the Ten Force Bow, while most infantry armors use the Eight Force Bow.

At this time, the five thousand step armor used was basically all eight-force bows. The Eight Forces Bow can threaten the enemy at a distance of sixty paces, or ninety meters. The 5,000 infantry armor rushed to the 90 meters away from the Tiger Division, and the 2,000 people in the front row raised their bows and arrows and threw a round of bows and arrows at the Xuanfeng Regiment. The two thousand arrows were like a torrential rain, and they were thrown towards the Selector Regiment and the Swinging Band.

Throwing from 90 meters away is still a bit far for the Eight Forces Bow, the accuracy is limited, and the momentum of the bow and arrow that hits the Tiger Master is too old to break the armor. The soldiers of the Elector Regiment wore chain mail, but they were not afraid of bows and arrows thrown from sixty paces away. Unless they were shot in the head, the arrows could not hurt the soldiers of the Selective Regiment. But the unarmoured bands were wounded, and more than a hundred of them were shot with bows and arrows, and they retreated screaming.

More than 30 people were shot directly in the heart and other vital points and died in front of the battle. Yang Peng looked at the soldiers of the Dangkou Regiment who were hit by the arrow, and frowned. Every soldier of the Tiger Division is precious and cannot be sacrificed casually. Because the soldiers were not equipped with armor in this battle, the soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. After the end of this battle, Yang Peng made up his mind to equip each soldier with a pair of iron armor to prevent the rain of Tartar arrows.

Two seconds after the Khitan soldiers finished shooting their bows and arrows, the Tiger Ben soldiers in the back row loaded their bullets, stood on the firing position and began to shoot. A thousand rifles were aimed at the Khitan archers at a distance of ninety meters, and platoon after platoon opened fire, spewing sparks and bullets. Compared with the eight-force bow, which requires more than eighty pounds of effort to pull the bowstring of the eight-force bow and shoot at the enemy, the rifleman's shooting is much easier, and he only needs to hold a rifle weighing a few pounds and press the trigger to fire. Also skilled marksmen, flintlock riflemen at a range of 90 meters have a much higher hit rate than archers.

"Kill the Khitan dog!" The rifle shoots at a distance of ninety meters, hitting almost stationary archers, with amazing accuracy. A thousand bullets whistled towards the Khitan soldiers not far away, and in an instant, a large number of Khitan soldiers were brought down. Row after row, blood splattered from the Khitan warriors who bent bows and arrows in the front row, and they fell down screaming, leaking out some of the back row warriors of Zhang Huang.

The Khitan army was beaten by riflemen and fell into confusion. Obviously, the bow and arrow shooting on the Khitan army's side was not as efficient as the rifle shooting efficiency of the Ming army. If you want to improve the accuracy of your bow and arrows, you need to rush closer. But the Khitan soldiers knew that the further they rushed forward, the more dense the firepower of the Song army became.

The Song army still has more than 10,000 people, and the Khitan army, which is still in a fighting state, has only more than 4,000 people left, and this battle is obviously going to be lost. The infantry did not want to be cannon fodder, and when they panicked, some people wanted to flee behind. In the Chinese army behind the Khitan, Xiao Tianyou, who was standing on the small earthen bag and observing the battle situation, saw that the infantry armor showed signs of rout, his heart tightened, and he subconsciously bent his waist. These archery armor is Xiao Tianyou's last hope. The Khitan army finally rushed within range of the bow and arrows, and Xiao Tianyou hoped that the rain of arrows of the Manchu warriors would crush Yang Peng's troops. Compared with rifles that fire once every 20 seconds, the ultimate rate of fire of a bow and arrow can reach 5 or 6 seconds per shot, which has an advantage in rate of fire.

Of course, to really gain an advantage, hit percentage is also a key factor. Then the infantry armor is required to force within fifty meters of the Tiger Ben Division to shoot directly at close range. Xiao Tianyou gritted his teeth, his hands were tightly clasped together, and he prayed for the blessing of his ancestors and blessed his infantry to be able to hold on.

Xiao Tianyou was praying, and Han Derang, who was behind the infantry with the elite of the 500 Xi Army, ensured the discipline of the infantry with his actions. The elite of the 500 Creek Army was on horseback, and under the command of Han Derang, they slashed and killed more than 20 infantry armor that fled backwards, and forced more than 4,000 infantry armor forward. The infantry had no choice, and it was death to retreat, so they could only rush. The infantry's minds were blank, feeling that life no longer belonged to them, and they rushed forward ten meters, and then shot a rain of arrows at the Tiger Ben Division eighty meters away.

Two hundred unarmoured soldiers were hit by the arrow, and they fell to the ground screaming, criing out over the wounds of the arrows. More than twenty soldiers of the Elective Regiment were shot through the chain mail by the arrows of the Tartars, hit the vital point, and also withdrew from the battle ranks.

But soon, it was the turn of the soldiers of the Election Regiment and the Swinging Regiment to fight back. The soldiers of the Tiger Division can complete a reload and fire in twenty seconds, and in a three-row rotation formation, they can shoot once in seven seconds. A few seconds after the Tartars fired a round of arrows, nearly 1,000 soldiers in the back row of the Xuanfeng Regiment and the Dangkou Regiment stood in the firing position and opened fire on the Khitan soldiers.

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

More than 900 rifles fired a volley, spewing angry bullets at the Khitan infantry armor eighty meters away. Like a storm of death, the bullet swept through the gap in the battlefield and fired into the body of the front-row infantry armor. The thin iron-inlaid cotton armor on the infantry armor couldn't stop the bullet at all, and the bullets that were hindered by the cotton armor shattered and rolled irregularly, which would cause more serious damage to the Khitan who was shot.

The front of the Khitan battle was like a hurricane, and the infantry fell to the ground with a plop. Of the five thousand infantry armor that rushed into the formation, there were only more than three thousand left in the blink of an eye.

The Khitan soldiers couldn't stand such casualties, no matter how they looked at the battle, they were lost, no one was willing to continue to commit suicide in front of the battle, and the infantry began to flee. The last 5,000 infantry armor of the Khitan army was also defeated. First, dozens of people fled, and they fled to the east and west without hesitation. Then the actions of these dozens of people drove the infantry armor next to them, and hundreds of people began to flee, and finally the entire infantry armor camp collapsed and dispersed. The infantry scurried with their heads in their hands, avoiding the swinging teeth of the rear row, and routed from both sides of the array.

Looking at the retreating Khitan army, Yang Peng breathed a long sigh of relief. This battle was won. 12,000 men defeated nearly 30,000 Khitan soldiers. Although only 10,000 Khitan soldiers were soldiers of the Liao State, and the rest were all Xi troops and auxiliaries, this battle was still a great victory in Biao Bingyu.

What kind of army did the Great Song Dynasty have, which could defeat nearly 30,000 Khitan troops in one battle?

The next step is to hunt down the deserters! The 1,000-strong crossbowmen of the Xuanfeng Regiment did not let go of the fleeing Khitan infantry armor, loaded with strong crossbow arrows and continued to shoot at the infantry armor. Although the infantry were scattered when they fled, they were bombarded by shotguns at close range, leaving behind hundreds of corpses.

Not only that, but the soldiers of the Swingers and the Drafters were still shooting. These soldiers obviously hadn't killed enough Khitan soldiers, and one by one they stood in the front row and shot the fleeing infantry, shouting "kill the Khitan dogs". If the infantry wanted to escape beyond the range of the Tiger Master, they would have to leave at least a thousand corpses behind. Not far away, the elite of the 500 Creek Army turned their horses and fled to the north. Yang Peng raised his binoculars and watched the enemy's Chinese military command flag fall in the distance, and all kinds of military flags and the eye-catching golden dragon were thrown to the ground without hesitation. Xiao Tianyou, a Tartar general in gilt armor, joined the general's guards and fled to the north on horseback.

Want to escape? It's not that easy! Yang Peng roared loudly: "The selection regiment is on the horse and pursues the enemy general!" The horn of the Chinese army sounded for a long time, and the flag was waved. The Selector Regiment no longer shot at the fleeing infantry, but returned to the middle of the phalanx to find their horses and chase the Tartar general, Xiao Tianyou.

The selection regiment is the elite of the Tiger Division, all of them are equipped with two war horses for one person, and the speed of riding is very fast. Huyan Chijin also rode a horse and led a horse, and personally led 2,000 soldiers of the Xuanfeng Regiment to chase after Xiao Tianyou, who had escaped. The Khitan general guards were also one man and two horses, and when they saw Huyan Chijin chasing after him, Khitan Yang spurred the horse to run fast. The two armies chased after each other to the north of Tianjing New City, and after a short time they ran ten miles north.

Yang Peng captured more than 10,000 military horses in these wars, and selected the best 4,000 of them for the Xuanfeng regiment. Compared with the war horses of the Khitan guards, the war horses of the Xuanfeng Regiment are more elite and have more horsepower.

And Xiao Tianyou was very flustered, eager to get rid of Huyan Chijin behind, and urged the horse too quickly at first. After running for more than ten miles, although Xiao Tianyou threw Huyan Chijin more than two miles away, the horsepower was exhausted. Li Zhi chased after him steadily, using horsepower sparingly, and after chasing for more than ten miles, he began to close the distance between him and Yue Tuo and bit it.

Xiao Tianyou rode as he rode, his face was pale, but his eyes were blood-red, and he was getting more and more panicked. He kept shouting at the guards around him, but he couldn't make them run faster. The guards had already changed horses twice, and even if they changed horses again, they could only run at this speed, and they were about to be caught up by Huyan Chijin's selection team. The guards began to take off their armor in order to increase the speed of their horses, throwing away their bulky cotton armor and chain mail, hoping to run faster and lighter. But even with the armor off, the Pickers a mile away were still getting closer.

Xiao Tianyou's face turned pale, and he secretly said that he was going to die here today? Han Derang, the deputy general beside Xiao Tianyou, said loudly: "General, divide two hundred guards to stop Huyan Chijin!" Xiao Tianyou looked at the guards around him, and his face twitched. These guards are the elite of the elite of the Great Liao Kingdom, and if they die, there will be one less, and Xiao Tianyou will never be willing to use them until the critical moment. I didn't expect to be used as a dead soldier now, using my life to stop the pursuers behind.

Xiao Tianyou's lips trembled, and he didn't speak. Han Derang said loudly: "General, give the order, if you go on like this, you will be caught up!" ”

Xiao Tianyou nodded and said, "Okay, let two hundred guards stop Yang Peng!" Han Derang turned his horse and rode to the guard's capital, and loudly passed Xiao Tianyou's order. Two hundred guards were selected and left the ranks as dead soldiers to stop the Song army, which was chasing endlessly.

The two hundred guards knew that they would die, but they did not dare to disobey the general's orders. The so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days is a time to use soldiers, and the guards are pampered and respected on weekdays, and this is the time for them to serve Daliao. They rode away from the group and charged towards the Song army behind. Huyan Chijin was chasing Xiao Tianyou, and he felt that he was about to catch up, but he saw two hundred Khitan soldiers rushing over. Obviously, Xiao Tianyou wanted to use Khitan soldiers as dead soldiers to delay his pursuit.

Yang Peng snorted coldly and shouted loudly: "Huyan Chijin led a thousand people to meet the Khitan soldiers, and the remaining thousand people followed me around to continue to pursue Xiao Tianyou!" "Today, Xiao Tianyou will definitely be beheaded in Tianjing New Town!" The deputy commander of the regiment, Huyan Chijin, led a thousand cavalry of the Xuanfeng Regiment to draw their handcuffs and rushed towards the two hundred Khitan guards.

The distance is a little closer, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters. Both sides were approaching each other at the speed of fast horses, and the distance was very fast. At a distance of seventy meters, the Khitan guards raised their horned bows and fired a round of arrows. About twenty of the two hundred arrows hit the soldiers of the Chosen Regiment, and several of them pierced the chain mail of the Chosen Regiment, inflicting damage.

After the Khitan guards finished the horn bow, they hurriedly held axes and broadswords, and galloped over to prepare for hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers of the Xuanfeng Regiment. "Kill the Khitan dog!" At a distance of twenty meters, four hundred soldiers of the Xuanfeng Regiment in the front row fired handcuffs at the Khitan guard soldiers. Only a crackling sound was heard, and a dazzling fire shot from the handcuffs. A hundred brave and skilled Khitan guards had blood on their bodies and fell under their horses with bullets. The Khitan guards didn't expect that the Ming army still had such melee weapons, and a hundred warriors were killed in an instant, and it was suddenly chaotic.

After shooting the handcuffs, the soldiers of the front row turned around and rode to the left and right, and the four hundred cavalrymen behind rushed up with handcuffs.

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

Another flash of fire erupted, and one by one the remaining hundred tooth swingers were shot and killed, and fell under their horses. Two hundred Khitan guards were shot to death in one fell swoop. Huyan Chijin, who commanded the thousand soldiers, looked at the corpse of the tooth-swinging horn that was bleeding on the ground, and then looked up at the city lord Yang Peng, who had already chased away, and said with a smile: "Brothers, dismount!" Cut the head! "Huyan Chijin doesn't want to take the credit of Yang Peng, this time the battle has already been shown.

Yang Peng led another 1,000 people and chased for another ten miles, gradually catching up with Xiao Tianyou in front. Yang Peng rode on a horse, holding a well-loaded rifle in the bumping, aimed at Xiao Tianyou's back two hundred meters in front, and fired a shot.

"Smack!" The bullet flew and did not hit Xiao Tianyou, but it startled the guards who fled in front. The guards saw that the shots had already been fired here, and they knew that it would be a dead end to escape with Xiao Tianyou. And they were afraid that Xiao Tianyou would treat his three hundred people as the dead soldiers of the palace to stop the Xuan Feng Regiment, and they no longer followed Xiao Tianyou to the north, but fled to the east and west.

Even Xiao Tianyou's lieutenant Han Derang rode away from Xiao Tianyou. Obviously, Yang Peng's target is Xiao Tianyou, as long as he leaves Xiao Tianyou and escapes elsewhere, there will be a glimmer of life. Xiao Tianyou, who fled on a war horse, fled at the front, and at first he didn't realize that all his subordinates were scattered. When he felt how quiet his surroundings were, and when he looked back, he was surprised to find that all the warriors around him had dispersed.

A hundred soldiers of the Election Regiment, riding their best horses, had already chased after him a hundred meters behind. Xiao Tianyou saw the Ming cavalry a hundred meters away and knew that he was going to die. He flicked his whip angrily, stabbing the spur in his heel into the horse's belly, stimulating the horse under his crotch to make a final escape. But his horse was exhausted, and after being stimulated by the spurs, the horse only rushed forward twenty meters before returning to its original speed.

Xiao Tianyou then used a spur to stab the horse's belly, stabbing the war horse to blood, but it had no effect. A hundred meters away, a hundred soldiers of the Xuanfeng Regiment slowly loaded their horses with bullets and gunpowder, raised their rifles and aimed at Xiao Tianyou in front. Yang Peng also loaded his rifle, he aimed at Xiao Tianyou and fired.

As soon as Yang Peng fired, dozens of musketeers behind him followed suit. More than thirty bullets were fired at Xiao Tianyou in front, and at least a dozen bullets hit him. The bullets of the flintlock pistol exploded more than a dozen blood flowers on his body, and in an instant, he took the life of Xiao Tianyou, the general of the Great Liao State.

Xiao Tianyou could no longer grasp the reins of the horse in his hand, fell off the horse, and fell on the hard and cold yellow earth of December. Yang Peng rode up on horseback, took a turn around Xiao Tianyou, saw the gorgeous gilt armor on Xiao Tianyou's body clearly, and confirmed that this Xiao Tianyou was dead. The soldiers of the Election Regiment gradually surrounded them, looking at Xiao Tianyou's corpse on the ground with excited faces.

After a while, someone excitedly raised his fist and shouted loudly. "Wan Sheng!" The soldiers all raised their fists and shouted in unison: "Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!"

On December 14, Cangzhou Governor Cha Dengbei heard the jaw-dropping news that Yang Peng had defeated the Khitan army north of Tianjing New City. Not only defeated the Khitan army of nearly 30,000 people, but Yang Peng also beheaded Xiao Tianyou, the general of the Great Liao State, and captured the Khitan Tartar with two hundred and forty-nine hundred and twenty-six heads. When Chadenbei heard the news, he almost didn't fall out of his chair.

He heard some time ago that Tianjing New Town was surrounded by 30,000 Khitan troops, and thought that Tianjing New City would definitely be captured this time. He was overjoyed and surprised at that time, happy that the domineering Yang Peng was finally taught a lesson by the Khitan army, and now the nest was destroyed by the Khitan army. What was surprising was that the Khitan army was too strong, and in a few days, it marched more than 600 miles from Mozhou to Tianjing New City. After capturing Tianjing New City, will the Khitan army attack other states and counties in Cangzhou?

If you throw too much soil, your position as governor will not be guaranteed! Chaden prepared for war and led the Governor Battalion to guard the city of Cangzhou, and could not hold on to martial law on all sides, lest the Khitan army attack Cangzhou City. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a few days and not seeing the terrible Qing army, I heard the news of Yang Peng's complete victory.

Yang Peng's soldiers and horses defeated the Khitan! Slash Xiao Tianyou! This Yang Peng's soldiers and horses, are they divine soldiers? That's 30,000 Khitan soldiers, although half of them are Xi people, but the Xi people's combat power is not bad. Such an army of 30,000 under the command of the generals of the Khitan Army, even 100,000 Song soldiers could not defeat it, but it was just crushed at the first touch. Even if the Yang family army is strong, it will take at least 40,000 or 50,000 troops to dare to confront the 30,000 Khitan army.

And Yang Peng's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses defeated the Khitan army and beheaded more than 20,000 people? If someone else reported this merit, Cha Dengbei would not believe it anyway. But what happened to Yang Peng was very reasonable. In the third year of the Dao, when the Khitan army entered the fortress, Yang Peng led 4,000 people to defeat 12,000 Yelu Hongguang and beheaded 11,600 people. Although in the end, Xu Nan divided Yang Peng's exploits and only left Yang Peng with 1,500 heads, but Cha Dengbei knew the inside story. That battle was completely fought by Yang Peng himself.

In this way, Yang Peng, who now has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, can indeed defeat the Khitan army of 30,000 people. This Yang Peng's strength is really too strong. If this continues, in a few years, won't he be able to compete with the 50,000 or 60,000 Khitan troops? Fighting bandits is not easy? Wouldn't he be able to reverse the predicament of the Great Song Dynasty with the power of one person?

Yang Peng is now very powerful. The official family is extremely gracious to Yang Peng, just because Yang Peng can fight! In a few years, Yang Peng's strength will be even more inflated, so how much will the official family rely on Yang Peng?

Cha Dengbei is a clear stream, and Yang Peng is not a person all the way. But even if he was repeatedly resisted or even ignored by Yang Peng, when he thought of Yang Peng's power, he still didn't dare to offend Yang Peng and didn't dare to be an enemy of Yang Peng. After Chaden got the news of Yang Peng, he trembled and sent a ranger out of the city to investigate. After he reconnoitred for a long time to confirm that Siyeli had been cleared and there were indeed no Khitan rangers, he escorted out of the city with a team of 500 people. He rushed to Tianjing New City with his guards and more than a dozen staff members to verify Yang Peng's head.

When he arrived at the official hall of Tianjing New Town, before he entered the courtyard of the official hall, Cha Dengbei smelled a pungent smell of blood. Although the first level was nitrated with lime, the smell of blood still diffused, and it was extremely strong. When Cha Dengbei walked into the official hall of Tianjing New City and looked at the scene in the official hall with his eyes, he was immediately shocked by the two piles of heads piled up like two hills.

Although Zhidao has seen such a posture once in three years, this year, this pile of heads is even more, and it almost occupies the entire courtyard of the official hall. Not to mention Xiao Tianyou's corpse on the trolley, the gorgeous gilded armor. Killing the great general of the Great Liao State in a battle is a war feat that the Great Song Dynasty has never had.

Cha Dengbei was secretly frightened, and secretly said that Yang Peng has made new achievements and is powerful now, but don't offend him. Cha Dengbei stood in the compound for a while, only to see Yang Peng walk out with Huyan Chijin and seven or eight other subordinates. Then Yang Peng didn't kneel and salute, and shouted to himself with a grin:

"Don't come unharmed, Lord Governor!" The military attachés behind Yang Peng also followed suit, and just bowed to Chaden.

Cha Dengbei is now very in awe of Yang Peng's strength, even if Yang Peng is rude, Cha Dengbei does not dare to correct Yang Peng. angered Yang Peng, Yang Peng went to the Son of Heaven to participate in his own copy, and he didn't want to be the governor. Cha Dengbei pinched his nose in his heart and endured Yang Peng's contempt, but a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "The city lord has made a new contribution!" Actually killed the Khitan general Xiao Tianyou? More than 20,000 levels? ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "Please check these heads!" Cha Dengbei turned his head to look at the dozen or so staff members behind him, and the dozen or so teachers immediately rolled up their sleeves and sat in the courtyard, and asked for a basin with the subordinates in the official hall, and began to inspect the heads one by one. Check the face, check the braids, check the hair beard, check the luster, and check them one by one. The final report made Chadenbei breathe a sigh of relief.

Twenty-four thousand nine hundred and twenty-six Khitan heads, all of them are true heads. The head level is real, and Xiao Tianyou's corpse is also real. For such a big thing as killing the Khitan general, the official family will soon be able to verify it through the details outside the Saiwai, and it is impossible for Yang Peng to dare to talk nonsense.

Chadenbei's hands trembled a little when he heard the final confirmation. What a big victory is this? Although the credit was made by Yang Peng, as the governor of Cangzhou, he also has merit! Cha Dengbei looked at Yang Peng and said, "The city lord is really a tiger general!" With such a big battle achievement, the housekeeper doesn't know how happy to be! ”

After thinking about it, Cha Dengbei said tentatively: "The city lord has more than 20,000 heads, can he send dozens of them out to other battalion military attachés?" Don't ask for merit, but just seem that they are not so cowardly and avoid war? Yang Peng smiled and said, "It's a fact that they are cowardly and avoid war. My Tianjing New City was besieged for three days, and there were no soldiers and horses to save me! ”

"This head, the first level can't be separated!" Cha Dengbei looked at the tough Yang Peng, took a breath, but still pinched his nose and said obediently: "The city lord is becoming more and more decisive in doing things, this is the blessing of the country!" ”

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