Chapter 186, the sky is cracking.
Yang Qi is also a master of the arts. He ordered the soldiers at the head of the city to kill the first batch of Liao troops who rushed up. When the second group of Liao troops came to charge, they secretly released water and let them climb to the top of the city. And in the face of the third batch that followed, they were greeted by a huge rain of arrows suppressed.
The second group of Liao troops who rushed up were isolated at the head of the city. The Fuxing infantry and the Jin army, which had been prepared for a long time, quickly launched a strangulation of the Liao army. Three groups of Liao troops strangled in a row. The Liao army suffered heavy casualties.
Inside the tent of the Liao army commander outside the city. Jeruxiugo got the number of battle damages, and frowned. Judging from the number of battle losses, his tired tactics have been seen through. After hearing the subordinates report on the tactics of the opposite revival pass.
Brother Yelu Xiu subconsciously lost his voice and said: "This is Yang Peng's army, and Yang Qi is also here...... She actually went out of the mountain...... "Yang Qi's art of war has very distinct characteristics, and the reason why it is called the art of bed bug war is because his art of war is like a shell Lang rolling a dung ball, which is getting bigger and bigger. Yang Peng's art of war in Tianjing New City is not only not grand enough, but very obscene.
He hardly misses every opportunity to strike at the enemy on the battlefield. Even if it is something that can make the enemy lose a force, he will not hesitate to do it. Moreover, only Yang Qi would dare to risk being breached and let the enemy army go to the city wall in order to consume the enemy's troops. Everyone who fought against him was helpless.
Because he always inexplicably accumulates all the inconspicuous little details and small losses. Anyone who fights against him will always find out inexplicably that Yang Peng did this in Tianjing New City, developing from nine people to the current behemoth. His men and horses are constantly growing, and their own people are constantly shrinking.
When Yang Qi's forces outweigh his opponent, he will give his opponent a fatal blow. Yelu Hugo had seen Yang Peng's methods on the battlefield once, so when he met Yang Qi here, he was stunned. Yelu Xiuge, who understood Yang Peng's methods, immediately asked the herald to go down to give orders. With the order of Jeruxiugo.
The Liao army retreated. The Liao army retreated inexplicably, which made Yang Dezheng a little stunned. "This anticlimactic?" Yang Qi smiled bitterly: "People guessed that I appeared, so they quickly shrank their troops. Next, I'm afraid that both of us will be exhausted. Until Jereux has figured out how to deal with us, he will not use his army lightly. ”
Yang Dezheng was stunned and grinned: "Then let him think slowly, it's best to think about it for ten days and half a month." Yang Dezheng didn't expect that he was right. Since Yelu Hugo discovered Yang Qi's existence, he has almost never mobilized troops against Fuxing Guan. He was just Chen Bing in front of the revival pass, and he didn't move.
This is ten days. In these ten days, the revival infantry and Jin army under Yang Dezheng can be said to have changed every day.
Day 1. All the revival infantry under Yang Dezheng's command were replaced with all the same leather armor. The cotton armor they eliminated was taken over by the Jin army.
Day 3. All the soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng's command have all been replaced with all horizontal swords.
Day 5. The soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng all wore protective armor. In addition, in the Revival Infantry and Jin Army, there are two more crossbowman camps.
Day 7. In addition to foot soldiers and crossbowmen, there were also shield soldiers, pikemen, and heavy crossbowmen under the command of Yang Dezheng.
Day 10. The soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng's command were all replaced with leather armor, the shield soldiers were replaced with fish scale armor, and the pikemen also began to appear chain mail.
In just ten days, the soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng have completely completed a transformation. From the original homeless team, it has officially transformed into a regular army.
After you have dressed up in a uniform outfit. The soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng's command have a different spirit. The infrastructure in the Fuxing Hall has been prepared, and the equipment shortcomings of the soldiers and horses under Yang Dezheng have been completed.
Yang Dezheng immediately dismissed the people in Fuxing Guan. They all took the handwritten letter issued by Yang Dezheng and returned to their homeland to discuss the merits and divide the fields. There were still many people who were unwilling to leave, and they were uniformly included in the Agricultural Reclamation Corps, and began to take root on the wasteland ten miles away in Fuxing Pass. Originally, some of the people in the major workshops were also dismissed by Yang Qi.
At present, there are more than 5,000 elite personnel in the major workshops. Except for these more than 5,000 elites, the rest of the people were all dismissed. In the entire Fuxing Pass, in just ten days, there were only the remaining pure soldiers, as well as the 30,000 people who assisted the soldiers in the battle. There are city walls to rely on in Fuxing Pass, and the food needed by soldiers and horses is sent by Sun only alone, so there is no need for more people.
Ten days later. Yang Dezheng, Yang Qi, Yang Gui, and Yang Xin gathered in the city gate building of Fuxing Pass, their faces dull.
"Eighth aunt, two elder brothers, I have always been restless in the past two days. I'm afraid something big is going to happen. Yang Qi muttered: "The Liao army outside the city is indeed a bit abnormal, it has been nearly ten days, and there has been no movement at all. I'm also worried about what's going on. ”
Yang Xin asked, "Will the Liao people bypass the mountains and attack us from behind?" Yang Qi shook his head and said, "If the Liao people really want to sneak attack us from behind, they will definitely bump into Fan Long, who also went to sneak attack." When Fan Long bumps into the Liao, he will definitely send someone to warn us. ”
Yang Dezheng said categorically: "I dare to conclude that the Liao people must be planning something that we don't know. You help think about it, the Liao people will not attack us from the front, nor will they attack us from behind. So where will they sneak up on us? ”
Yang Gui hesitated: "After removing the back and front of us, then the left and right sides, as well as the underground, are left." Yang Xintou shook like a rattle and said, "The Liao people will not sneak attack us from the left and right. The mountains on the left and right sides have been filled with traps by us, and as long as they make a move, we will definitely receive the wind. ”
Yang Dezheng frowned and said, "Then the underground is left?" Will the Liao people dig tunnels? Yang Qi said solemnly: "Then give it a try and see if the Liao people have dug tunnels, ten days is enough for them to dig under the city wall from ten miles away." ”
Yang Dezheng nodded and said, "Send a team of dead soldiers to go out and have a look." Yang Xinyan stood up and said, "This matter will be left to me." That night, Yang Xin led hundreds of people to quietly go out of the Fuxing Pass and began to inspect on the flat ground outside the Fuxing Pass.
Yang Xin took people and spent the night outside the city. Then he returned to the city. After returning to the city, under the inquiring eyes of Yang Dezheng and others, Yang Xin shook his head slightly. As it turned out, the Liao did not dig tunnels outside the city. So, what are the Liao people doing in the past ten days? ……
Not to mention the conspiracy of the Liao people, just talk about Bianjing. A dark cloud has hung over Yang Dezheng's head. Zhao Heng almost gritted his teeth, stared at Taishi Pang and said, "Then you say, what should I do?" Master Pang pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "The old minister is afraid to say it, and His Majesty will blame the old minister." "I forgive you for your innocence." Master Pang arched his hand and said, "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to temporarily withdraw Gao Hu and Ding Gao, who went to Daizhou, and order the two of them to lead the soldiers and horses to exterminate the Fu family's rebels." ”
Zhao Heng shouted unwillingly: "Just let Yang Dezheng go like this, that chaotic minister and thief? Master Pang smiled bitterly: "In comparison, the Fu family is more harmful. Although the Yang family had a disobedient heart, they did not raise the anti-flag. Yang Dezheng also promised that he would never betray the Great Song Dynasty for the rest of his life.
The Yang family is like a dot of ink stuck to Da Song's body, and it will not cause any harm to Da Song. When the time comes, you can brush it off at any time. The Fu family is different, the Fu family rebelled, and it was widely implicated, and almost all the places along the southwest coast were involved. The Fu family is like a cancer, which will continue to erode the Great Song Dynasty, and even cause permanent damage to the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Zhao Heng gritted his teeth and said: "Let go of Yang Dezheng, that chaotic minister and thief, I am unwilling." At this moment, Zhao Heng doesn't look like an emperor at all, but more like a gambling child. Master Pang sighed faintly and said: "Your Majesty can completely order the envoy of Cao Shu to exterminate the two families of Zheyang......" Master Pang said a sentence that made Zhao Heng not take it lightly.
Let Yang Peng's close friend go to kill Yang Dezheng, this kind of thing Zhao Heng can't do. Let's not talk about whether Cao Bin will kill his relatives in righteousness, even if Cao Bin is willing, Zhao Heng will not dare to let him go. Within a year, the two rebellions and rebellions had already made Zhao Heng a little frightened. Zhao Heng couldn't say a word when he was scolded by Master Pang. After a while, he spit out a sentence stiffly.
"Let's allow the little cub of the Yang family to run rampant for a few more days." Immediately, Zhao Heng ordered to transfer back Gao Hu and Ding Gao who were on the march, and let them lead the soldiers and horses to Gusu. The emperor's will is basically eight hundred miles expedited.
Gao Hu and Ding Gao, two generals, led 100,000 forbidden troops and just left the Kaifeng territory. And the decree of their revocation was set before them. Ding Gao was a little incredulous, "What is the Fu family doing at this time?" Even the second child, that waste, is also qualified to rebel? "Almost all the veterans in Bianjing City look down on Fu Lao Er.
Compared with Boss Fu, the second Boss Fu is too far behind. Far enough to be described as a difference between cloud and mud. When Boss Fu was alive, the Fu family sat firmly in the position of the first gatekeeper. As soon as the Fu family died, Fu Lao Er tossed the Fu family into the ranks of the top generals such as the Cao family, the Gao family, the Shi family, and the Wang family.
Between the generals in Bianjing City, they secretly called Fu Lao Er the first loser in Bianjing. Gao Hu took the holy decree and said with a pale face: "Waste is not waste, people have rebelled, can you still stop it?" Since Your Majesty has already issued an order, we can only turn the horse's head and go to Gusu. ”
The two tacitly did not mention Cao Bin. They all knew in their hearts that Cao Bin, a good bow, needed to be hidden. …… Fu Lao Er rebelled and helped Yang Dezheng resolve a crisis, but Yang Dezheng didn't know it. At this moment, he was completely in shock. In the temporary tent in the city gate building, Chen Yao took an honest farmer and entered inside.
As soon as the farmer entered the door, he was about to make a big salute, but was stopped by Yang Qi. "You just have to tell what you find, and you don't have to talk about it." Zhuang Jiahan was obviously a little nervous in the face of Yang Dezheng, Yang Qi, Yang Gui, and Yang Xin, the four generals wearing shining armor. Chen Yao cheered him on the side, "Don't worry about speaking boldly, the general won't blame you for making a mistake." ”
The farmer nodded, hesitated, and said: "The villain went up the mountain this morning, and wanted to cut some wood to make the beams of the house. While running around, the villain found a trench dug in the mountain, and there were many Liao soldiers in the trench. ”
"Liao Army?!" Yang Dezheng stood up suddenly, with an incredulous expression. Yang Qi, Yang Gui, and Yang Xin were also shocked. Yang Xin said in disbelief: "We have laid so many traps on the mountains on both sides, how can the Liao army come over." ”
Yang Qi frowned and said, "He just said that he saw the Liao army in the trench, so the Liao army must have dug up." Most of our traps are set on the sunny side, and there are very few traps on the mountain shade side. The Liao army used the most stupid method to quietly break the trap we set in the mountains and forests. Yang Qi immediately ordered: "Yang Xin, you immediately take two thousand men and horses to search the mountains and forests on both sides, and after encountering the Liao army, don't startle the snake." ”
At this moment, Wang Xing entered the city gate tower and said, "The Liao army has been killed." Yang Qi said with a solemn face: "The trench of the Liao people should have been dug to the top of the mountain." They suddenly attacked at this time, just to buy time for the Liao army on the mountain to raid. ”
Yang Dezheng said in a deep voice: "Yang Gui, you take 10,000 horses to guard Beishan; Fifth brother, you take 10,000 horses to defend Nanshan. Once the Liao army appeared, they decisively set fire to the mountain for me. Even if the two mountains are burned to the ground, the Liao army cannot be let in. ”
At the critical moment, Yang Dezheng did not hesitate and gave the death order on the spot. Yang Gui and Yang Xin arched their hands and went to guard the mountain with soldiers and horses. Yang Dezheng frowned and said: "Once 20,000 soldiers and horses are taken from the city, we will not have many soldiers and horses to defend the city." ”
Yang Qi cracked his mouth and smiled hideously, "I have already prepared a big gift for the Liao army, and if I am in a hurry, I will carry the big gift out to them." Yang Dezheng looked at Yang Qi curiously, but Yang Qi refused to say anything. When the two of them reached the top of the city, the Liao army had already arrived at the bottom of the city.
The black Liao army bravely rushed to the Fuxing Pass. At the head of Fuxing Guancheng, round after round of tragic battles were launched again. After the replacement of equipment, the revival foot soldiers and the combat effectiveness of the Jin army increased exponentially. In the face of the fierce Liao army, they were not as flustered as they were at the beginning.
Relying on the advantages of the armor in his hands, even if he is inferior to the Liao people in terms of bravery. It also firmly occupies the advantage. However, the momentum of the Liao army's battle was as turbulent as the tide of the sea. Round after round of tide rushed over, and there was no intention of stopping. The battle continued into the night.
The Liao army still did not retreat. They lit torches and continued the siege. The revival infantry and Jin soldiers on the head of the city are plummeting at a rate that can be seen with the naked eye. The battle at the head of the city was fierce.
But Yang Qi and Yang Dezheng's eyes were not on the city, their eyes were on the mountains on both sides. They all knew very well in their hearts that the real purpose of this station was a sneak attack on both wings. Once they are successfully attacked by the Liao army, then they will go around behind Fuxing Pass, causing a tendency to attack Fuxing Pass on both sides. At the same time, it will also cut off all supplies to Fuxing Pass.
"Roar, roar, roar~" The two sides fought until the second half of the night. In the mountains and forests on both sides, a raging fire was lit. The strong wind fueled the fire, and all at once the whole mountain burned. Fuxing Pass was reflected as a night sky.
"The Liao army is coming up from both sides." Yang Qi muttered, his eyes fixed on the mountain. "Report!" A herald hurriedly rushed up the city wall, and when he arrived in front of Yang Qi, he knelt on one knee and said, "General Qiyu, General Yang Gui of my family said that the enemy is strong and requires an additional 10,000 horses. ”
Before Yang Dezheng could answer, he saw another herald who also admired the head of the city, kneeling on one knee, "General Qiyu, my general asked for an additional 10,000 horses to be sent to the south. Yang Dezheng glared and said, "Five thousand for one person, it can't be more." Yang Dezheng stopped Yang Qi and roared: "You are crazy, now there are less than 35,000 soldiers and horses left in the city, and if you transfer another 10,000, there will be 25,000 left." How to defend the Liao army's attack. ”
Yang Qi said with a firm gaze: "I'm not crazy, it's Brother Yelu Xiu who is crazy, since he forced me, then I will let him see my methods." Yang Qi transferred 10,000 soldiers and horses from the city and distributed them to Yang Gui and Yang Xin. He ordered people to go to the wounded barracks and recruited Peng Pai.
"Peng Pai, take your people and go out along the tunnel. Light a fire for me. Peng Pai's pupils shrank, and his lips trembled, "The real point?" Peng Pai, a person who knew the inside story, obviously felt fear after learning about the ignition of the fire.
Yang Dezheng obviously felt that Yang Qi's decision was extraordinary. However, even so, he still couldn't guess what Yang Qi's decision meant. If he knew, he might have stopped it. Peng Pai saw that Yang Qi had made up his mind, he nodded heavily, and quickly went down to the city.
After Peng Pai got off the city wall, he immediately recruited his subordinates. A group of six people entered a closed room at the corner of the Fuxing Pass city wall.
Inside the room, there is a hollow. Peng Pai led them to the hollow and nodded to each other. They lit torches and went into the hollow.
Inside the cavern is a tunnel. The tunnel covers the city wall to the north of Fuxing Pass and leads directly to the outside of the city. About a mile outside the city. There is a row of bamboo tubes with joints that are buried in the ground. Peng Pai led people to avoid the Liao army, and opened the soil surface, revealing the bamboo tube.
The bamboo tube was stuffed with sackcloth. Peng Pai and the six took out the fire twist, blew the fire twist, and then stuffed it into the bamboo tube tremblingly. "Run!" After doing this, Peng Pai took everyone and started to run away without looking back. The six of them, after running into the secret passage, quickly escaped. They ran out of the entire secret passage for more than thirty feet, and then they heard one deafening roar after another.
The six people were directly shocked and hit the wall next to them, and their heads were bleeding. "The sky is falling?!" The people who closed it did not see the heavens, but they saw that the earth had sunken. One after another explosions rang out. In the camp of the Liao army charging outside the city, it was like fierce beasts rushing out of the ground one after another. They frantically devoured the lives of the Liao army.
"Boom!" After an explosion that sounded like the ground cracking, everything was calm. The majestic wave of qi directly blew the soldiers and horses on the head of Fuxing Guancheng to the ground. Someone was even blown off the other side of the wall. There was a huge earthquake in the entire Fuxing Pass, and even within a radius of 100 miles in the entire Fuxing Pass. After the explosion and the earthquake, everyone froze in place, unable to utter a word.
Outside the Fuxing Pass, a huge crater appeared. The pit is more than ten zhang deep, and within a radius of five miles, it is all covered by the pit. Around the crater, piles of stumps and severed arms were scattered. But inside the pothole, everything is gone.
Including the 60,000 Liao troops who stayed in the pit. What can cause so much power? Gunpowder for the answer! How much gunpowder does it take to inflict such power? Fifteen thousand pounds! Yang Qi, who was frenzied, buried 15,000 catties of gunpowder outside the city. This is also the reason why Peng Pai trembled when he went to light the fire. Even Peng Pai, who has the stakes of gunpowder, knows what the concept of fifteen thousand catties of gunpowder is.
Yang Dezheng stared at the outside of the city, trembling all over, his face turned blue, and he said in a trembling voice: "Eighth aunt...... What the hell did you do? He couldn't believe his eyes, and he couldn't believe Yang Qi's ruthlessness. Yang Qi's own face was also a little pale. He couldn't believe what he saw.
The same is true of purgatory on earth. Yang Dezheng's hand grabbed Yang Qi's arm and asked loudly, "Yang Qi, do you know what you did?" Yang Qi gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Ci is not in charge of the soldiers, I just did what I had to do." Yang Dezheng wanted to slap Yang Qi's two big mouths, but finally held back.
Yes. According to Yang Qi's reasoning, what he did was indeed right. This is the concept of Tianjing New City, with the most powerful moves to treat the enemy, Yang Peng is not the pedantry of the Great Song Dynasty. But in Yang Dezheng's view, Yang Qi unleashed a killing machine, a demon, and a devil who turned the war into more cruel.
Yang Dezheng returned to the city gate building in despair. Beside Yang Qi, those soldiers who heard that everything outside the city was made by Yang Qi looked at Yang Qi's eyes full of horror. There was no fear in their eyes, only fear.
Outside the city, ten miles away. Yelu Hugo was shaken off his chair by this loud noise, he quickly lifted the tent, saw the sky-rushing firelight, also saw the rapid subsidence, and saw the 60,000 Liao troops, and in a blink of an eye, all disappeared. For the first time in his life, his eyes were filled with fear. Manpower, can it do this?
"Yang Dezheng, what did you do?" Brother Yelu Hugo stood outside the tent in a daze, waiting for someone to give him an answer. He waited a long, long time. Xiao She, who survived before the Fuxing Pass, returned. Xiao She was missing an arm, her body was pitch black, and her body was full of fireworks.
Xiao She knelt down in front of Yelu Xiuge like dementia, and there were only two words muttering back and forth in his mouth. "Gunpowder...... Gunpowder...... Gunpowder ...... "Gunpowder is not something that is difficult to see. In fact, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty had already begun to use gunpowder to make fireworks.
The fireworks of the Great Song Dynasty were also sold to the Liao State. The nobles of the Liao State also generally knew about the existence of gunpowder. Yelu Hugo didn't expect that gunpowder could be so powerful. He didn't expect that the 150,000 Liao troops he brought would be lost by more than half overnight. "Yang Dezheng, are you unscrupulous? Then don't blame this king for being ruthless. ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
