Yang Dezheng had just arrived at Erdaowan with the elite of a thousand volcanic troops. The jumping soldier in charge of opening the way had just rushed to the mountain road of Erdaowan, and a tree trunk covered with stubble suddenly emerged from the dense forest. "Boom~" The trunk smashed into the bodies of the two jumpers, and the stubble on the branches directly poked several blood holes in their bodies.

"There is an ambush~" The Volcano Army soldiers who ran at the forefront shouted loudly. Yang Dezheng and the other Volcano Army soldiers reined in one after another.

"Go! Shouting. Yang Dezheng commanded. A volcano soldier rode forward, walked to the front of the Erdaowan mountain road, and shouted loudly. "We are the defenders of Yanmen Pass, the Volcano Army. This aisle carries out military affairs. Who is in ambush ahead? ”

"Whoosh~" answered him with two arrows. An arrow slammed into the heart shield on the chest of the Volcano soldier, snapping. The other, grazing the cheeks of the Volcano soldiers, shot his hat off.

The soldiers of the Volcano Army were not afraid. He just wiped the blood off his face and rode back to Yang Dezheng. "General, the other party has no intention of giving way." Yang Dezheng narrowed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to give way, then kill it." Our trip is related to the life and death of other brothers in Yanmen Pass. You can't just turn back because of a few little thieves. ”

"Dismount!" The Volcano soldiers jumped off their horses together. Yang Dezheng said in a deep voice: "This place is not far from Bald Mountain, there are mountain roads all the way, and we don't need to ride horses." After a while, I unloaded my gear and carried it all on my back. Then the horse's tail was burned and the horse was driven into the mountains.

Crazy Horse is enough for them to drink a pot. We went straight down the mountain road and killed it. "Understood!" "Understood!" “……”

The soldiers of the Volcano Army were very convinced of Yang Si, so without saying a word, they began to follow Yang Dezheng's orders. In the mountains and forests on both sides of Erdao Bay. Sima Kang and seven or eight other captains with nearly 4,000 men and horses were ambushed on both sides of the mountain road. "What are they doing?" Liu Hou came to Sima Kang's side, stared at the volcanic army unloading their horses and equipment at the bottom of the mountain, and couldn't help but ask. Sima Kang frowned and said, "It should be killed." ”

Liu Hou smiled in surprise: "Kill it?" It just so happened that the brothers had set a trap in the mountains and forests for two hours, just in time to entertain them. Sima Kang also showed a rare smile on his face. The elite of the Volcano Army, in the entire northwest, that is famous. They're not easy to deal with. If we don't take advantage of the terrain, we may not be their opponents. ”

Liu Houle said: "The equipment of the Volcano Army is good, the iron armor of Qingyishui. If we equip them. In the future, in this northwest, we can also become famous. Sima Kang scolded: "Something that has no interest." As long as we have completed the tasks assigned by the above. Iron armor is a trivial matter, but promotion and wealth are major matters. ”

"Yes, yes, yes~" Just when Sima Kang and Liu Hou were daydreaming. The volcano army at the foot of the mountain has lit torches one after another. Liu Hou was stunned and sneered: "Are they stupid? It wasn't dark yet, what did they do with the torches. Sima Kang also looked at the mountain with a puzzled expression. They're ...... Point the horse's tail ...... "Run!" ”

Sima Kang can be regarded as an old man, and he has mixed up with the position of the head of the capital, so he naturally knows some art of war and has seen some strategies.

Seeing Yang Dezheng leading the soldiers of the Volcano Army to point his horsetail, he guessed what Yang Dezheng was doing. He crawled and crawled to escape from this place. However, it was too late after all. Two thousand war horses, all of them are carefully selected fierce horses.

Once it loses control, it's like a wild boar with two thousand hairs gone mad. Under the deliberate drive of Yang Dezheng and the volcano soldiers, one horse after another rushed into the mountains and forests on both sides of the mountain road. The fire on the horse's tail caught the dry branches and leaves, and instantly ignited a large area.

Whew~ The north wind is blowing. A series of fires ignited. Plus 2,000 horses galloping through the mountains and forests. All of a sudden, both sides of the mountain road were completely lively. One after another, like groundhogs, emerged from both sides of the mountain road. Then run away in a frenzy.

Yang Dezheng's face did not have the joy of punishing the villains, but turned blue. "A bunch of brutes." Yang Dezheng gritted his teeth and said these four words. With his ingenuity, how could he not see the identity of these people. Nearly two thousand soldiers and horses blocked the attack near Yanmen Pass.

Combined with the fact that the scouts who had been separated from Yanmen had not heard from him, Yang Dezheng had already guessed what was going on. The Yang family was calculated and sold. can block Yanmen Pass so dead, and cause Yanmen Pass to be isolated. Then, there must be people from the Northwest General Gate involved.

Is this the intention of a certain general to assassinate the Yang family behind his back, or is it the emperor's intention? If it was the emperor's intention, then why? Yang Dezheng felt the anger in his chest about to erupt. Tears involuntarily burst out of his eyes.

There was no expression on his face. But tears were rolling down. "General, what's wrong?" Yang Dezheng's deputy was taken aback by Yang Dezheng. Yang Dezheng pointed to the people who fled in the mountains and forests on both sides of the mountain road, and said coldly: "It's so obvious, don't you understand?" Yang Dezheng's lieutenant glanced at the fleeing person, frowned, and said, "It's indeed a bit much......

"A little too much?" Yang Dezheng scoffed. "Do you think there will be 4,000 bandits in the northwest, where there are nearly a million troops hoarded?" Yang Dezheng's lieutenant was stunned.

"You mean ......" Yang Dezheng gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Someone has calculated the Yang family and wants us to die in Yanmen Pass." Hearing Yang Dezheng's words, look at the enemies all over the mountains. The soldiers of the Volcano Army all understand. "the girl!" "Thief!" “……”

The Volcano Army soldiers all gritted their teeth and cursed. "I'm going to kill these dogs." Yang Dezheng's lieutenant drew the long knife at his waist and wanted to pounce on the people in the mountains. Yang Dezheng grabbed him, wiped away his tears with his free hands, and said, "Don't worry!" They can't run. Yang Dezheng looked at the other indignant Volcano Army soldiers and shouted loudly: "Brothers, I, Yang Dezheng, swear here. Whether we win or lose this time, I will bring my brothers back. Kill all the dog stuff that wants our brother to die. ”

"That's right! Kill them! "Kill all the shit." "Lao Tzu will eat their flesh and drink their blood." "I will use their heads to honor the souls of my brothers in heaven." “……”

Yang Dezheng raised the big gun and roared: "Now, kill me with me." No one is left behind. "Kill!" The Volcano Army, which was originally a tiger warrior, has now turned into a tiger with red eyes in a fit of rage. Tigers are going to eat people. Yang Dezheng attacked with a fire attack and broke the enemy's defensive line arranged in Erdaowan. A fire came down, plus a stampede of Crazy Horse. The people who run all over the mountains are people.

Sima Kang escaped. Immediately organized people to exterminate the virtue and government. It's a pity that he only barely managed to gather more than a thousand people. Not even the formation was opened. Yang Dezheng led people to kill in front of him. The soldiers of the Volcano Army regarded the people in front of them as enemies of life and death. No mercy. The knife is raised and the knife falls, and the life is reaped wantonly.

In front of the elite and fierce Volcano soldiers, the rabble that Sima Kang temporarily formed was not an opponent at all. is just a face, and there are hundreds of people who die in front of Sima Kang. "Run!" When he saw a soldier of the Volcano Army, who randomly bit off an enemy's ear and put it in his backpack, Sima Kang knew that he was defeated. He turned his head, led the rest of the group, and fled in a hurry.

"Sima Kang!" Although it was just a face, Yang Dezheng still saw Sima Kang. Yang Dezheng has not been in the northwest for a short time, and he once met Sima Kang. Yang Dezheng roared, and Sima Kang stiffened, as if he was being targeted by death. He gritted his teeth and continued to run briskly, without looking back. Yang Dezheng stared at Sima Kang's back and shouted: "Tell the person behind you, your head is temporarily stored around your neck." When Lao Tzu comes back, he will definitely cut off your heads one by one. ”

Sima Kang heard Yang Dezheng's words, but did not make any response. He just ran away blindly with his men, and he didn't dare to look back. Yang Dezheng smiled coldly, and did not chase the lost dogs, and instructed the people under his hands: "Don't pay attention to those lost dogs." If you run away from the monk, you can't run away from the temple. Serious matters, hurry to Bald Mountain. ”

Yang Dezheng led a thousand volcano army soldiers to climb Bald Mountain when night fell. On the side of Yanmen Pass, the war is about to break out. Qidahar led 20,000 warriors of the beggar army and arrived in front of Yanmen Pass. "Young Patriarch, are we going to attack the city?" The warrior of the beggar tribe, who had a wolf's tail on his head, approached the beggar and asked flatteringly.

Beggar tried his best to hide his huge body behind a shield, and scolded irritably: "What's the hurry, the hurry to send him to death? The warrior of the beggar department smiled bitterly: "The siege time issued by the king of the southern courtyard is about to come, if we don't do it again." There is no escaping the charge of delaying a military plane. Beggar poked his head out from behind the shield, looked at the looming arrows on the gate of the wild goose, and subconsciously shrunk his neck. His eyes rolled, and he muttered: "Go and call the commander of the Ma Bujun to make Li Chongzhi come." ”

The warriors of the beggar tribe glared and said in amazement: "So the Han people? ”

Beggar frowned and shouted, "If you are told to go, you will go, where did you come from so much nonsense." The warriors of the beggar tribe reluctantly returned to the camp three miles away, and called Li Chongxue, the commander of the Ma Bu army. Li Chongzhi is not very old, in his thirties, thin and weak, and his ancestral home is Jincheng.

The reason why Li Chongzhi was able to become the commander of the Ma Bu army of the Liao State at the age of about thirty relied on his father. His father used to be the assassin of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and he was also the first batch of Han people who voluntarily defected to the Liao State.

The Heavenly Holy Sect of Liao, in order to show his open-mindedness and attract more Han people to vote, treated this group of Han people favorably and gave them extremely high treatment. However, even if Li Chongzhi is now the commander of the Ma Bu Army, he is nothing in front of the old nobleman of the eight clans of the Liao State.

Beggar just beckoned, and Li Chongzhi came to his side in a hurry. "Subordinate Li Chongxue, see the general." Li Chongzhu behaved very deferentially in front of Beggar Har, like a pug.

Beggar was very satisfied with his attitude, raised his fat head slightly, and pretended to say: "Li Chongxue, you are Chinese New Year's Eve six today, right?" Li Chongzhi said humbly: "General Lao Da remembers, the subordinate is exactly thirty-six years old this year. Beggar nodded and said, "Thirty-six, not too small." Now you are still just a commander of the Ma Bu Army with the name of the five grades. In the future, if there is no achievement in the army, it is estimated that he will stop at the position of commander of the Ma Bu Army in this life. ”

Li Chongzhi smiled dryly: "It's a shame to say that the subordinates have always wanted to serve the Queen Mother, but they can't wait for the opportunity." "Hmm!" Beggar said in a deep voice, "Your chance has come." "What chance?" A flash of joy flashed in Li Chongxue's eyes. Beggar said: "Don't say that General Ben won't promote you, this time to conquer Yanmen Pass is an opportunity." ”

Li Chongzhi is also a smart person, and as soon as he heard what he said, he understood what he meant. Li Chongzhi weighed the strength of Yanmen Pass and the beggar army, and found that the strength of the beggar department obviously had a huge advantage. He is also an aspirant.

He didn't think that with the absolute superiority of the beggar army, he himself would lose to Yang Ye. Moreover, now the people in Yanmen Pass are sleepy and lacking, and their combat effectiveness is probably weaker than before. This is indeed an opportunity. Li Chongxue's eyes were shining, and he solemnly saluted the beggar Har, and said, "Thank you for the cultivation of the general." ”

Beggar nodded in satisfaction. It's so easy to talk to smart people. There are some things that you don't need to say explicit to understand what you mean.

"Zhegu pinch, you go, order 20,000 warriors from the beggar department to General Li. The battle to conquer Yanmen Pass was under the full command of General Li. The warrior of the beggar tribe named Zhegu was obviously unconvinced, and wanted to refute it, but was stopped by the beggar har with his eyes. Zhegu pinched and went to order the troops and horses according to the orders of the beggar har.

Beggar Har patted Li Chongzhi on the shoulder and said solemnly: "General Li, the matter of conquering Yanmen Pass will be handed over to you." This general is here to help you sweep the formation, dare to be cowardly, and will not be spared. Li Chongzhi was a little worried about commanding the soldiers and horses of the beggar department just now, but with the words of the beggar har, he was suddenly full of confidence.

The 20,000 soldiers and horses of the beggar army were already ready. Zhegu pinched the past and just conveyed the order, and all the generals and colonels at all levels gathered together and arrived in front of Li Chongxue, waiting for Li Chongxue's military order. Li Chongxue, who was in power, felt that he was quite imposing, and the nobles of the Liao State who saw him arrogant on weekdays were all listening to orders in front of him at this moment, and he felt that he had a lot of face.

Of course, Li Chongzhi is not a waste. He has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and he also has a lot of experience in the art of war. In the face of the defense of Yanmen Pass, Li Chongzhi began to arrange the offensive steps in an orderly manner. The Liao people are good at horse warfare, and they are also good at running warfare, but they are not good at siege warfare. Therefore, Li Chongzhi has his own ideas about the offensive strategy of Yanmen Pass.

First of all, the first echelon, the dead cannon fodder echelon, is mainly composed of the servant army composed of Liaodi Han people temporarily transferred from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. The second echelon is dominated by siege chisels, ladders, siege crossbows and other equipment. The third echelon is the real main force of siege, and they will use the help of the first two echelons to greatly reduce the time and damage of the siege. It's not a clever plan, but it's a decent one. ……

The gate of the wild goose was closed. The people were transporting stones, rolling logs, stones, thistles, gold juice and other military supplies to the city.

The soldiers of the Volcano Army, holding their weapons, rested against the city wall. Due to the lack of troops in the pass, the soldiers of the Volcano Army were on standby for almost twelve hours, and even if they wanted to rest, they could only squint a little at their posts.

Yang Yanzhao took Yang Gui, wearing heavy armor, and patrolled back and forth in the city, boosting morale by the way. Yang Yanzhao and the soldiers of the Volcano Army are like a family, so whenever they go, they basically stop and chat with the soldiers in the army about their families.

Yang Yanzhao is like a big patriarch, and the soldiers of the Volcano Army are like members of this family. In their spare time, they are happy to share interesting stories with their parents. On the city wall, there is only one place, and Lao Yang will not go. That's the North Gate Tower.

The north gate tower is the most fierce attack of the Liao army, and it is also the one with the heaviest military task, and it is the one with the highest mortality rate. The people who are guarding here are the group of people that Yang Yanzhao relies on the most and is closest to. Yang Yanzhao didn't need to explain anything to them, and he didn't need to boost their morale.

They are all soldiers, generals, and subordinates of the Yang family. It's like an inseparable part of Yang Yanzhao's body. The battlefield, for them, has long been strange. Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood have become commonplace for them. One by one, like ruffians and hooligans, they lay on the ground on the north gate tower without any image.

Some of the Volcano Army soldiers who have been guarding Yanmen Pass all year round like to lean on their side, because they can hear a lot of interesting stories from the mouths of these ruffian-like guys.

"Uncle Ge, can you tell us about the eldest young master again?" A little seventeen-year-old fellow, thin and weak, carrying a large gun taller than himself, approached a sloppy man lying on the ground and sleeping on all sides, and shouted in a low voice. The sloppy man opened his eyes, glanced at the seventeen-year-old little one, snorted, and closed his eyes again.

The seventeen-year-old thief put his hand into his arms, took out a piece of dead leaf wrapping, and shook it in front of the sloppy man. The sloppy man shook his nose, sat up suddenly, and reached out to snatch the dead leaf wrap. "Yes, you, we've been without food for three days, and you can actually get meat." The sloppy man tore open the wrap of dead leaves, revealing a burnt black piece of meat.

He didn't dislike it, so he grabbed it and stuffed it into his mouth. The other men beside him smelled the smell and got up to beg for it, but they were all beaten away by him. The seventeen-year-old little guy scratched his head honestly and said with a smile: "Our brothers have been in the northwest for three or four years, and they rely on weasels to beat their teeth on weekdays. After a long time, I figured out some tricks. It's just that our craftsmanship is not good, and we always roast the meat. ”

The sloppy man said while eating: "Counting nine cold days, and being besieged by Liao thieves, it is not easy to eat a bite of meat." Besides, we are all fighting men, and we are not scholars, so we are not squeamish. The seventeen-year-old little guy said expectantly, "Tell us about the Seventh Young Master." The sloppy man ate up the meat wrapped in the dead leaves, puffed his greasy fingers unsatisfied, and said with a smile: "You little guys, and you are not readers, how can you just like to listen to the things of readers." ”

The seventeen-year-old little guy scratched his head and said with a smile: "We don't like to listen to the things of the readers, we like to listen to the things of the eldest young master." The affairs of the eldest young master are much better than those of those who read. The sloppy man casually pulled over a sheepskin jacket, leaned against the city wall, and said, "That's it, whoever makes my old man greedy and eats your things, I will tell you about the Seventh Master." ”

The seventeen-year-old little guy suddenly waved behind him excitedly, and suddenly from behind the wall on one side, more than a dozen little guys of his age poured out. The sloppy man shook his head with a wry smile, and stretched out his hand to point at the seventeen-year-old little guy, "Two dogs...... You, you...... There is really your ......" Ergouzi is the name of the seventeen-year-old little guy.

Yes, you heard it right, it's his name. Don't look at this little guy as a thief, he is actually a very stubborn person. When he was first registered for conscription, the generals looked at him coldly and wanted to give him a name. But this guy was stunned and didn't let his neck. said that the name was given by his parents, and he couldn't change it even if he was killed.

The world is big, and filial piety is the greatest. In the face of filial piety, Wang Fa also had to give in. Therefore, the general registered the name Ergouzi to him. Seeing the sloppy man Lao Ge complaining, the second dog was not afraid, and came to Lao Ge with a smile and asked, "Uncle Ge, you mentioned before that the eldest young master wrote poems in Changle Fang, and everyone in Bianjing City ran to see it, but what happened later?" ”

Lao Ge glared at Ergouzi with a smile and said, "Later...... Later, it was even more powerful. Since then, the eldest young master has a nickname, called Little Immortal. People in Bianjing City say that the eldest young master is a Wenqu star in the sky. Some people also say that the eldest young master is more powerful than the poet immortal Li Bai of the former Tang Dynasty. On the Yang Mansion, people who ask for words and paintings every day can line up from the gate of the Yang Mansion to the gate of Bianjing City...... ""Wow~"""So powerful?!" ”

The little ones listened with obsession and adoration. The old thief smiled sheepishly: "The most enviable thing is that the girls in Bianjing City want to marry the eldest young master as an aunt." When the eldest young grandfather went to take the imperial examination, there were tens of thousands of girls who danced and sang for the seventh master......"

"Goo~" Someone swallowed their saliva without making a profit, and the other little ones looked sluggish and envious. Lao Ge laughed even more thief. "And ...... On the night of Tanhua among the eldest and youngest grandfathers, the dignitaries and nobles of all sizes in Bianjing City dispatched seventy or eighty thousand people, and the people in Bianjing City rushed to bring the eldest young master back to them as aunts. ”

The other Yang Mansion composers, listening to Lao Ge's blowing, were a little exaggerated, and secretly shook their heads and laughed. However, none of them pierced Lao Ge. Young people look up to heroes, and that's the right thing to do. Back then, they were the same. Not only did they admire, but they followed, and in the end they became the composer of that person. That person is Yang Ye, the Golden Knife Linggong.

Lao Ge seemed to be a storyteller, and said in a colorful voice: "The magnates in this Bianjing City are very tight, and you almost overturned Bianjing City by fighting for me." At a critical time, a powerful figure came out, the privy envoy Cao Bin. This Cao Shumi is very powerful, with his seven sons and three thousand Qubu, he killed seven in and seven out of this crowd. The eldest young master grabbed it and brought it back to Cao's Mansion that night. ”

"Whew~" "Lord Cao Bin is amazing. "The eldest young master is more powerful." “……”

The little ones began to raving in admiration. Lao Ge pretended to be deep and said: "These are not the most powerful ......" The little ones asked eagerly, "What else, what else?" "The second dog is scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry." Uncle Ge, say it quickly! What's more? Lao Ge whetted the appetite of these little guys before he said: "The most powerful thing is that the reputation of the eldest young master is not spread all over the Great Song Dynasty." Even the widow Xiao of the Liao Kingdom knew.

When the year was last year, the envoys of the Liao State entered Bianjing. At that time, I met His Majesty on the vertical arch hall and said that I wanted to invite the eldest young master to Liaoguo. even said that if the eldest young master was willing to stay in the Liao Kingdom, they were willing to return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty. Guess what, why is the Liao State willing to exchange the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun for the eldest young master? ”

The little ones are babbling and jostling to speak. "I must be admiring the talent of the eldest young master, and I want to leave the eldest young master in Liao to write poems and paintings for them." "I think that Widow Xiao of Liao Kingdom wants the eldest young master to be her son-in-law." "Yes, yes, yes, I definitely want to marry my daughter to the Seventh Young Master." "There may be more than one daughter." "Fifteen daughters, all ready to marry the eldest young master." “……”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Lao Ge laughed like a chicken thief. You didn't guess right! ”

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