The Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State led an army of 150,000 to the upper capital, and the black pressure was overwhelming, giving people a terrible feeling that the black clouds were pressing the city and wanted to destroy it. Aliqi, the first warrior of the Liao Kingdom, rode out of the battle and challenged loudly. The city gate was wide open, and Huyan Chijin rushed out of the city gate with a red tasseled spear and a dragon horse for thousands of miles. The two sides fought together, Aliqi wielded a big axe, fierce as a tiger, and Huyan Chijin ran a spear, with a momentum like a dragon. The two sides are like a pair of ancient beasts, and the battle is inseparable. The soldiers on both sides shouted like thunder, and the drums of war shook the earth.

Standing for 20 rounds, the two sides are still evenly matched. At this time, the two Liao generals came out together, holding spears, one left and one right to attack Shi Wengong. One of these two generals is named Bi Jin Xianggong, and the other is named Biter Weikang, both of whom have the courage of ten thousand people. The three Liao army warriors attacked Huyan Chijin together, and Huyan Chijin gradually fell into the downwind with one enemy and three enemies, and the danger was full of dangers.

The city gate opened again, and Chen Jie, who was naked and exposed a tattoo, and Cheng Shijie, who was wearing heavy armor and holding a heavy mace, rushed out of the city together. Seeing this, Xianggong Jin and Biter Weikang immediately abandoned Huyan Chijin and came to fight Chen Jie and Cheng Shijie. The three battles will be slaughtered, and the blood of the soldiers on both sides is completely boiling.

Contrary to the princess, he gradually became cowardly, but Chen Jie became more and more courageous. Finally, Xiang Jin was not careful, and was snatched into the middle palace by Chen Jie and slashed down. Contrary to Xianggong's complexion changed greatly, and he was cut off in two before he had time to react. Seeing this, Weikang, who was fighting with Cheng Shijie next to him, was shocked and changed color, and his tricks became scattered. Cheng Shijie took this opportunity to shout, and smashed the head of Biting Weikang with a stick.

The Liao army lost the second general in a blink of an eye, the morale was greatly reduced, the shouting stopped abruptly, and the cheering drums became weak; The morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and the shouts and war drums shook the sky.

Chen Jie and Cheng Shijie turned out to be opponents and came together to attack Aliqi. Although Aliqi is known as the first warrior of the Liao army, he is in danger with one enemy and three enemies. Empress Dowager Xiao was worried that Aliqi would lose, so she ordered the Tielin Army to cover up the past. The horn sounded loudly, and thousands of Iron Forest soldiers rushed out with shouts. Seeing this, Huyan Chijin and the three immediately turned their horses and ran back to the city, and then the city gate was slammed shut. Bullets rained down on the city walls, repelling the Tielin Army.

Aliqi returned to the Empress Dowager Xiao, panting, and said with a ashamed face: "The last general is incompetent!" Empress Dowager Xiao said with a relieved face: "General Aric is one against three, although he is defeated, he is still glorious!" Xiao Ying frowned and said: "Yang Peng's fierce generals are like clouds, and you can't fight against him anymore!" Empress Dowager Xiao frowned and nodded, turned her head and raised her voice to order: "The whole army retreats ten miles to the village!" The Liao army slowly retreated. ……

That night. Huyan Chijin said to Yang Xiong, who was on duty with him: "During the day today, Chen Jie and Cheng Shijie will make great achievements in killing the enemy, but you and I have not yet made an inch, which is really anxious!" Yang Xiong nodded thoughtfully, frowned, and said: "I only hope that I can make military achievements in the next battle, otherwise I am afraid that I will be looked down upon by the brothers!" Huyan Chijin said: "That's exactly what he said. But there's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

Yang Xiong hurriedly asked what the opportunity was. Huyan Chijin said: "The Liao army has just arrived, and its foothold is not stable, if you and I go to rob the camp, we will definitely be successful!" In this way, you and I also have a face in front of all brothers! Yang Xiong nodded thoughtfully.

Huyan Chijin couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Yang Xiong agreed, and hurriedly said: "Since you also agree, then we will wait until midnight for the soldiers and horses of the Shuai Headquarters to sneak attack the Liao camp!" "In the middle of the night, the Liao army camp in the distance stretched like a city, among which the bonfires were lit and silent, the flags swayed gently on the flagpoles, and only occasionally a few patrolmen were seen walking past the bright part of the barracks.

The north gate of the city slowly opened, and Huyan Chijin Yang Xiong led three thousand infantry troops out of the city quietly. When they came near, three thousand men hid in the darkness. Huyan Chijin carefully observed the situation of the enemy camp, and said to Yang Xiong excitedly: "Great! The enemy army is completely defenseless! This battle is sure to be a great success! Yang Xiong nodded excitedly, "Let's do it." Huyan Chijin immediately ordered dozens of elite foot soldiers to do it.

I saw dozens of elite soldiers dressed in black touch the vicinity of the gate, quickly got rid of a few sentries at the gate, and then opened the gate. Huyan Chijin Yang Xiong led three thousand foot soldiers to quickly pour into the camp with excitement. Huyan Chijin Yang Xiong went straight to the big tent of the Empress Dowager Xiao.

Rushed into the big tent, only to see that Shuai was sitting on a scarecrow wearing a helmet and cloak of Yerutri, and the figure I saw outside just now turned out to be a scarecrow!! The two were shocked, and then rushed out of the big tent. At this moment, the surrounding trumpets and artillery sounded, and almost at the same time, the sound of killing suddenly rose, and countless Liao troops surrounded Liao troops in all directions, and the three thousand Song troops were instantly wrapped in dumplings.

Huyan Chijin was frightened in his heart and was a little overwhelmed, Yang Xiong raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Brothers, rush out with me!" Then he carried the Pu knife and killed him in front of him, and the soldiers who were at a loss saw this situation, and they all subconsciously followed him to break through! In a scuffle, the 3,000 Song army was almost wiped out, and only a few dozen people including Huyan Chijin and Yang Xiong broke out of the encirclement. Hundreds of Liao cavalry pursued relentlessly. It's about to catch up with them.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Huyan Chijin couldn't help but shout: "It's over!" We're done! Yang Xiong rolled his eyes, "Since you can't run away, I'll fight with them!" As he spoke, he actually reined in the horse's reins, turned the horse's head, carried the blood-dripping Pu knife, and stared at the pursuers who were getting closer and closer, his eyes were full of desperate taste; Seeing this, dozens of officers and soldiers also turned around and prepared to fight hard; Although Huyan Chijin was scared in his heart, when he saw this situation, he also subconsciously turned around.

Suddenly, everyone heard the whistling sound of bullets breaking through the air, and then the leading Liao army general dismounted with a scream. Yang Xiong and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly turned their heads to look behind them, only to see that Li Xu had come to support with hundreds of cavalry. Everyone was pleasantly surprised, and Huyan Chijin shouted: "General Li Xu! ”

At this time, the hundreds of Liao pursuers hurriedly turned their horses and fled. Li Xu led the cavalry to the front of everyone, frowned and asked, "Why don't you follow the orders of the eldest brother and go out to fight without permission?" The two of them looked ashamed, Yang Xiong hugged his fists and said: "It was my greed for merit that caused the annihilation of the 3,000 soldiers, and I am willing to be dealt with by military law!" ”

Li Xu said: "How to deal with it, the eldest brother has the final say!" Now come back with me! Then he turned his horse's head and ran towards the city, and the people hurriedly followed. ……

Empress Dowager Xiao sat in the big tent and waited for the report, and the generals were divided into left and right. An officer rushed into the big tent and knelt down excitedly: "Your Highness, the three thousand Song troops who came to attack were wiped out except for a few dozen people who escaped!" Five or six hundred of them were captured! Empress Dowager Xiao smiled indifferently, "Finally gave him a dismount!" The order went down, and all armies were on strict alert to prevent the Song army from coming to attack again. The officer answered and ran down.

His gaze turned to the hall of the Left-behind Mansion. Yang Peng sat at the top, the brothers were lined up on the left and right, and the embarrassed Yang Xiong and Huyan Chijin stood below with a look of shame. Yang Peng said in a deep voice: "I once ordered three times, without my order, you can't go to war, you actually dare to disobey the general's order, resulting in the annihilation of the three thousand soldiers!" ”

Yang Xiong knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The younger brother disobeyed the eldest brother's military order and killed 3,000 brothers, and he is willing to be punished by military law!" Huyan Chijin also knelt down and pleaded guilty. Yang Peng said: "Disobey the military order, the crime should be beheaded!" Huyan Chijin changed color, and the other brothers were taken aback. Duan Zhixian said hurriedly: "Big brother, you don't really want to kill them, do you?" ”

Yang Peng said coldly: "Military law is like a mountain, there are no exceptions!" Come on! The four guards immediately walked in, clenching their fists in agreement. Yang Peng shouted: "Drag the two of them down and behead them!" ”

Four guards immediately held up two of them. Huyan Chijin's face was fearless, and his face was calm, but Yang Xiong couldn't help but beg for mercy: "Big brother spare your life!" Cheng Shijie said urgently: "Although the two of them deserve to be beheaded, they should be exempted from the death penalty if they read the merits of the past!" All the brothers also came out to plead, and they all begged Yang Pengnian to be exempted from the death penalty for their past achievements.

Yang Peng hesitated for a moment, and said to Huyan Chijin and Yang Xiong: "For the sake of the past merits of the two of you, and there are many brothers to intercede, the death penalty can be avoided." Yang Xiong was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him, but Huyan Chijin frowned and said, "The general should kill me, then I will feel better!" ”

Yang Peng glared and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" Huyan Chijin lowered his head. Yang Peng said: "Although the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime cannot be escaped. I will punish you two with forty sticks before the army, and demote them to infantry captains. Chen Jie, you come to prison. Chen Jie clenched his fists and promised.

Huyan Chijin was lying on the bed, the skin on his back was shocking, Huyan Chijin was sweating on his forehead because of the pain, but this strong female man didn't snort. The maid sat next to him, holding a bowl with ointment and carefully applying medicine to him, and her mouth inevitably had some complaints: "The eldest brother is really true, why don't you miss brotherhood at all?" ”

Huyan Chijin said: "Don't blame the general, it's me who disobeyed the military order and violated the military law!" I should have been beheaded, but the general spared my life, which is already an extrajudicial favor! The maid nodded. There was footsteps at the door. The two couldn't help but look towards the door, and saw Yang Peng, who was dressed in civilian clothes, walk in. The two were taken aback, the maid quickly put down the bowl and stood up with a fist salute, and Huyan Chijin also struggled to stand up.

Yang Peng hurriedly stepped forward and held down Huyan Chijin, "Seventh sister-in-law, don't move, you are injured!" Huyan Chijin said apologetically: "I was rude!" Yang Peng smiled, sat down next to him, glanced at the shocking scar on his back, and asked with concern, "How do you feel?" Huyan Chijin shook his head, "It's okay, it's much better than those brothers who died in vain!" ”

Yang Peng frowned and said angrily: "I'm really angry today!" You Huyan Chijin has always been cautious, this time you are so reckless! Huyan Chijin looked ashamed. I wanted to make you alone, but this time I was so disappointed! ”

Huyan Chijin was ashamed and ashamed, "The slave knows that he is wrong!" Yang Peng frowned and said softly: "There is nothing wrong with making mistakes, and no one can be a sage or a sage." But be sure to learn your lesson and don't fall in the same pit. Then he took out a military book from his bosom and put it next to Huyan Chijin, and admonished: "It's good for you." Huyan Chijin said movingly: "The slave obeys the general's teachings!" ”

Yang Peng patted Huyan Chijin on the shoulder, stood up, and said with a smile: "You take care of your injuries." Then he said to the maid: "Huyan Chijin here, you have to worry a little more." The maid clenched her fists in agreement. Yang Peng nodded at Huyan Chijin and turned to leave.

Huyan Chijin said with great emotion: "I didn't expect the general to come and see me so late!" The maid sat down next to Huyan Chijin again, and said while applying medicine to him: "Yu Gong, the eldest brother is a general, and he must enforce the law like a mountain, but he is not too private, after all, he is our brother!" Huyan Chijin nodded thoughtfully.

Huyan Chijin dressed the medicine and sat up with the support of the maid. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he picked up the military book that Yang Peng left for him, and read it carefully. This book of war is not the ancient traditional art of war, but a book of war written by Yang Peng based on the ancient art of war and in his mind, with a small number of words, but it basically contains Yang Peng's understanding and experience of the way of war. Yang Peng handed over such a military book to Huyan Chijin, which shows that he still has a lot of expectations for him. After Yang Peng left Huyan Chijin, he went to Yang Xiong again. Yang Xiong was grateful for Chen Xiao's arrival. ……

As soon as the next day dawned, the fog covered the land, and the war drums of the Liao army broke the silence of the early morning. The soldiers of the Song army hurriedly climbed the city wall, only to see more than 100,000 Liao troops overwhelmingly surging towards the city wall.

The Liao army stopped about two or three miles away from the city wall, and then saw nearly a thousand Liao warriors escorting four or five hundred Song army prisoners to the front of the military formation, forcing the hundreds of prisoners to kneel on the ground, as if they were about to be executed. Seeing this, the soldiers of the Song army on the city wall inevitably became agitated, and Duan Zhixian shouted, "What do they want to do? ”

A Liao army general rode his horse to the city gate and shouted: "My queen mother wants me to send a message to the generals of the Song Dynasty, if you don't want to watch your soldiers die, open the city and surrender early." His Royal Highness guarantees the safety of the military and civilians of the whole city, and entitles the general as the king of the southern courtyard of my Liao country, and continues to rule the sixteen states of Yanyun! If the general doesn't agree, then those of your soldiers will be killed immediately! ”

Yang Peng secretly admired: This Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom is really scheming! She knew for sure that such a manoeuvre would never make him surrender, but it would undoubtedly be a serious blow to the morale of her own soldiers. Generally speaking, in the face of such a thing, the commander of an army can only choose to abandon those soldiers, which is understandable and understandable, but as a soldier on the threatened side, the emotional morale will definitely be affected. This influence often plays a role in determining victory or defeat in many cases.

Yang Peng glanced up at the heroic figure standing under the handsome flag in the distance, as if he saw the proud smile of the victor on her beautiful face. The surrounding soldiers all looked at Yang Peng, waiting for his decision. The reckless Duan Zhixian shouted, "I'll save them!" "You come back to me!" Yang Peng shouted.

Duan Zhixian had to stop, and shouted with some annoyance: "Could it be that we just watched them being killed by the Liao?!" Everyone showed a helpless look, and Zhou Dayong frowned and said: "Although it makes people very angry, there is no way!" He raised his hand and pointed at the light cavalry on both sides of the opposing army's formation, "Their cavalry is waiting for us to get out!" As soon as we choose to go out of the city to rescue the people, their cavalry on both wings will immediately outflank them! At that time, the loss was far from the hundreds of brothers outside the city, and even the entire Shangjing City might be captured by the other party in one fell swoop! Sometimes it is very painful to endure it, but it can't help but endure! ”

None of them spoke. "General, how did you decide, tell me something!" The Liao army general under the city shouted loudly, and there was a bit of smugness in his tone. Li Xu took out an arrow, put it on the bowstring, and waited for Yang Peng to give an order to shoot the Liao general under the city. Although this approach can't save those hundreds of brothers, it can take a breath of evil.

Yang Peng ignored the Liao army general under the city, but shouted to the Empress Dowager Xiao in the distance: "Empress Dowager Xiao, you have a noble status, don't you feel ashamed to do such a thing?" Empress Dowager Xiao laughed mockingly.

Yang Peng continued: "I heard that the Khitan people are a brave people, and they regard honor as life, but now they threaten me with hundreds of my brothers, is this what a warrior should do? These words just poked at the weakness of the Khitans, and most of the Liao soldiers couldn't help but show shame, and looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao. Empress Dowager Xiao frowned.

"I have a proposal, why don't we each send a general, and fight in a battle! If we win, release my brother at once; If you win, I won't say a word, and I'll surrender immediately! What do you think? ”

Empress Dowager Xiao was silent for a moment, rode out of the military formation, reined in her horse, and asked in a loud voice, "Is this the general's challenge?" "Empress Dowager Xiao's question is very mysterious. Yang Peng couldn't help but reply that it was his challenge. But once he said that, he had to fight in a while, otherwise his morale would inevitably suffer a big setback. Empress Dowager Xiao's move left Yang Peng without any room for maneuver. Zhou Dayong heard the mystery and frowned tightly.

Yang Peng raised his voice and said: "This is my challenge, are you willing to accept the challenge?" As soon as these words came out, the soldiers of the Song army were excited. Empress Dowager Xiao raised her voice and said: "Our army accepts your challenge, and Aliqi will come out to meet the battle." If the general wins, I will release all the prisoners at once. If the general is defeated, please keep his promise! ”

Yang Peng raised his voice and said: "I will keep my promise!" Then he prepared to go down the city wall. But the brothers stopped him, and Duan Zhixian said urgently: "Big brother, you are injured, how can you fight!" I'll just go! Yang Peng patted Duan Zhixian's shoulder, glanced at the brothers with anxious faces, and smiled: "Don't worry! I know what to expect! Then he told Li Xu and Zhou Dayong: "You must be careful to defend the city, don't give the opponent a chance!" The two of them clasped their fists and promised.

Yang Peng ran down the city wall, lifted his iron horse, stepped onto the cloud-like horse, and nodded to the captain of the city gate, who was waiting for his order, who immediately ordered his men to open the city gate. The gates rattled and slowly opened. Yang Peng clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the war horse immediately rushed out of the city gate like a sharp arrow off the string. Dark horse, heavy armor, scarlet cloak, cold eyes, and momentum like a tiger, as if the overlord of Chu has reappeared in the world!

Yang Peng rode his horse between the two armies, restrained the war horse, and stood proudly. The soldiers of the Liao army couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes were full of brilliance, and then she showed a fierce look, and turned her head to look at Aliqi next to her. Aliqi received the order of Yerutri, shouted, rode out, raised the big axe and ran towards Yang Peng, screaming like a mad beast.

Yang Peng snorted lightly and rode his horse to meet him. The two of them hedged at high speed, as if two armies were charging, and the momentum was amazing. In the blink of an eye, the two horses intersected, and everyone heard only a loud clang. The soldiers on both sides couldn't help shouting, Duan Zhixian grabbed the drumstick in the drummer's hand, pushed the drummer away, and beat the war drum with all his might, knock......, knock, the huge drum sound rushed straight into Xiao Han, mixed with Duan Zhixian's roar.

Yang Peng and Aric have fought back and forth for more than 20 rounds, without a win. Empress Dowager Xiao stared at Yang Peng, her brows furrowed, and her eyes obviously showed a look of doubt and surprise, she had already gotten the news about Yang Peng's injury, but looking at his vigorous fighting spirit in front of him, it didn't seem like he was injured?

Yang Peng and Aric fought for more than a dozen rounds. After all, Yang Peng was injured, his face became a little pale, and his tricks were not as good as before! But Aliqi became more and more courageous, and the giant axe in his hand danced like a windmill, crushing Yang Peng to danger!

Seeing this, the brothers on the city wall were very anxious, and Chen Jie, Zhou Dayong and a few others were going out of the city to help in the war. Li Xu hurriedly stopped them and said urgently: "This going out is equivalent to us breaking our promise, and those hundreds of brothers will definitely die!" Soon after, the soldiers of the army saw Huyan Chijin and Yang Xiong receiving sticks in front of the barracks, and Chen Jie read out the charges on the side. The hearts of all the soldiers were awe-inspiring.

"No matter what, I have to save my big brother!" Cheng Shijie exclaimed excitedly. Empress Dowager Xiao in the distance, with a victor's smile on her face, the situation in front of her was completely as she expected. She had already guessed what the other party was going to do next. His brothers and subordinates would have come out of the city to rescue him, so that they could justifiably kill the captives, which would have dealt a serious blow to their morale, which was exactly what she wanted.

Syllable! I only heard a loud noise on the battlefield, and everyone saw Yang Peng's iron horse lance flying high into the sky, and then inserted it in the grass. Yang Peng was panting, pressing his right hand to his chest, looking very painful. When the soldiers of the Song army saw this scene, they were shocked, while the soldiers of the Liao army let out earth-shattering shouts.

Aliqi laughed and said, "You've lost!" Yang Peng said: "I'm still alive, this competition is not over yet!" Aliqi was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, and the tyrannical impulse rushed straight to his head, and he raised his big axe and slashed down at Yang Peng. Yang Peng's brothers were so frightened that they fell into an ice cave.

At the moment when the big axe was about to come to his body, Yang Peng's face showed a strange smile. Suddenly, I saw him turn his body away, and the giant axe slashed dangerously in front of him. Immediately, I saw him step on the saddle and fly towards the other party like a roc bird. Aliqi originally thought that his opponent was defenseless and defenseless, but when he saw the opponent pounce, he was shocked and it was too late to take countermeasures.

Yang Peng threw Aliqi to the grass, quickly pulled out the sword at his waist, and the sharp blade forced Aliqi's neck. Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect such a big reversal at all. Yang Peng's brothers rode out of the city gate and came behind Yang Peng.

Yang Peng smiled and said to Aliqi: "You lost!" Aliqi glared at Yang Peng, unconvinced, but he really lost, so that he blushed but couldn't speak. Yang Peng turned his head and raised his head to the gloomy Empress Dowager Xiao in the distance: "Empress Dowager Xiao, you have lost!" The soldiers of the Liao army all looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao.

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