Kelun came back to his senses, his eyes showed a desperate look, and he shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, follow me to charge!" The horn sounded loudly, and the 60,000 Khitan infantry soldiers shouted violently and rushed towards the Yanyun army on the opposite side. At this time, the Khitan army's war cavalry finally couldn't resist the slaughter of the Modao army, completely collapsed, ran back, and bypassed the front of their own army to the two wings. Then he turned his horse's head and rushed towards Yan Yunjun again with his own army.

The war drums of the Yanyun army sounded loudly, and the bullets and arrows fired by both sides in the sky flew staggered, and the sky seemed to be darkened, and soldiers from both sides continued to fall to the ground with arrows; At the same time, the two wings of Yanyun's war cavalry rushed out and fought with the Khitan army's war cavalry; The frontal front was completely opened, and Duan Zhixian led the three thousand Mo sword army as the vanguard to lead the army to roar and kill the Khitan army, and everyone fought bravely!

The three thousand Mo knife army and the opponent's heavy armored infantry collided violently, the Khitan army's scimitar slashed on the armor of the Mo knife army with a sonorous sound and splashed countless sparks, and the Mo knife roared and slashed on the heavy armor of the Jin army, but the blood was surging, even the heavy armor could not stop the Mo knife's soldiers, and one by one the Khitan army heavy armored infantry screamed and fell in a pool of blood!

The infantry armies of the two sides fought fiercely, flickering and deciding, only to see crazy faces and flying bloody swords; The war cavalry on both sides is also in full swing, and the Khitan army war cavalry can no longer resist and is in the process of rout.

In the blink of an eye, the Khitan army was defeated again, and they rushed backwards; At the same time, the infantry army also defeated the Khitan army, the Khitan army was defeated like a mountain, throwing away their armor and trampling each other to run for their lives, and the Yanyun army was like a rainbow, roaring and chasing, as long as they catch up, no matter if the other party surrenders or not, just cut it down with a knife!

The Khitan army completely collapsed, and the Yanyun army bravely pursued and killed, killing the corpses of the Khitan soldiers all over the wilderness and staining the grassland with blood. ……

In the evening, Kelun finally escaped back to Bei'anzhou, but the 70,000 troops he brought out at the beginning only returned with less than 2,000 horsemen. Of course, the cavalry suffered heavy losses, and the infantry army was completely annihilated! Kron returned to the hall and sat down, as if he hadn't recovered from the defeat!

An officer stumbled in and hurriedly reported: "General, the Yanyun army has already arrived in the city!" Kelun was startled, Huo Ran got up, and hurriedly picked up his weapon and ran outside. When he came to the city wall, he saw that Yanyun Zhancai had come to the outside of the city, and the leader was the Yanyun warrior Ma Qiang, who had beheaded his fierce general Ke Mo, who was challenging under the city!

"Koron, you shrunken turtle! Are you a man or a woman, why are you huddled in the city and don't dare to see people! Kron was furious and wanted to go out and fight hard. A subordinate general next to him hurriedly persuaded: "The general should not be impulsive! Kelun glared and shouted, "Is General Ben going to endure this humiliation?" Get out of the way! Whoever dares to stop it, I will kill his dog! How dare the general stop it, and hurriedly get out of the way. Koren ran down the city wall and led five hundred cavalry out of the city. Ke Lun stopped the horse, pointed at the horse with a big knife and shouted: "Yanyun Pifu, I will fight to the death!" ”

Seeing that he had really come out, Ma Qiang was very excited, and immediately urged Ma to kill Kelun. Seeing this, Kelun did not hesitate at all, and urged the war horse to meet him with a big sword. The two sides fought together, and after more than 20 rounds, it was difficult to solve. The horse suddenly turned his horse's head and ran westward, as if he had fled timidly. Kelun was able to kill, chased after him, and kept shouting: "Yanyun Pifu, don't run away if you have the guts!" Ma Jian didn't mean to stop at all, and ran away one by one.

The two men chased and fled for about a few hundred paces, and the horse, who was running in front, suddenly turned his horse's head, pulled out a short axe from the side of the saddle, and threw it at Koron, who was rushing towards him. Kelun was defenseless, and suddenly saw the axe flying towards him, he was taken aback, and it was too late to dodge, only to hear a loud pop, and the axe hit Kelun's forehead! In the midst of the surging blood, Kelun screamed and fell off the horse!

The Khitan army was horrified when they saw Kelun dead. The city guards hurriedly ordered the city gates to be closed. Ma Qiang led the cavalry to rush under the city walls, but the city gates were already closed. Arrows were shot from the city, and Ma Qiang temporarily led the army to retreat, and then sent someone to report to Yang Peng.

Although the Yanyun army temporarily retreated, the soldiers of the Khitan army were panicked. Thinking that the army had been wiped out, the three main generals had also been killed, and the terrible Yanyun army was coming, several generals decided to abandon the city and flee before the Yanyun army arrived. Soon after, the east gate opened, and the remaining five or six thousand soldiers of the Jin Army swarmed out. After a commotion, the city fell silent again.

Ma Qiang received a report from the scouts and learned that the Khitan army had fled, so he immediately led his cavalry into Bei'anzhou City.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Yang Peng led the brigade into Bei'anzhou City. The people woke up early in the morning and were surprised to find that the Khitan army that was still there when they fell asleep last night had disappeared, and the soldiers of the Yanyun Army in red clothes and black armor were changed on the streets and alleys and city gates!

Yang Peng walked into the lobby of the office surrounded by the generals, turned around when he stepped in, and said to Ma Qiang with a smile: "Ma Qiang, you are doing a good job!" Conquer Bei'anzhou, the first credit belongs to you! Ma Qiang excitedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you King Yan!" All the generals cast envious eyes.

Yang Peng looked at Duan Zhixian, "Immediately send someone to summon Liu Zhiliang and inform us of what happened." Duan Zhixian clenched his fists and promised. Yang Peng said to Ma Qiang again: "Ma Qiang, you lead all the cavalry to cross the Luan River to the north, and then go east to Xiao Lu Ye to contain the Xiao Lu Ye Cadre Department who returned to Zhongjing from the Longshan Defense Line. "Yes!" "The rest of the armies hurry up and rest!"

Meanwhile, on the west bank of the Bari River, west of Pak Anju, a team is crossing the river. This team looked like hundreds of people, one of them was holding a scepter customarily held by the envoys of the Han Dynasty, and the accompanying cavalry held a banner with the words 'Great Song Dynasty Envoys' written on it. It turned out that this group of people was none other than Wang Lun and his party who were ordered by Zhao Heng to envoy Liao.

The group crossed the Bali River and headed for Pak Anju, preparing to rest for the night in Pak An this evening. But he didn't go far, and the Khitan officer who went to Bei'an Prefecture to contact the local officials first rushed back in a panic, "Oh no, no! Yan Yunjun has broken through Bei'anzhou, hurry up and return to Xijing Road! ”

Wang Lun and the others were stunned, and Wang Lun asked in disbelief: "Is the general saying that the Yanyun Army has captured Bei'anzhou?" How is this possible? ”

The Khitan officer glared and shouted, "How can General Ben have time to laugh with you!" Hurry up, hurry up, return to Saikyo Road! While shouting, he rode his horse to the west, and the Khitan officers and soldiers who accompanied him hurriedly followed, leaving the Song delegation alone. The envoys looked at each other, "My lord, what should I do now?" Deputy Envoy Lan Gongzuo asked at a loss. Wang Lun hesitated for a moment, "Since Bei'an Prefecture has been broken by the Yan Yun Army, we can only temporarily retreat to Xijing Road and make plans!" So the Song delegation also turned around and went to Xijing Road.

"Hey! ......" On the road, Lan Gongzuo suddenly sighed. Wang Lun asked puzzledly, "Why are you sighing?" Lan Gongzuo smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "The subordinates are just a little emotional!" Think of how arrogant the Khitan people are to sweep the Central Plains, how unstoppable! However, in front of Yan Yunjun, there was a different face, just now those Liao officers and soldiers changed color when they heard the name of Yan Yunjun, and before they could meet each other, they fled in embarrassment! We are both Han and Yan Yunjun, why is there such a big difference? Wang Lun was secretly ashamed and speechless.

Eyes turn to Nakyo. Yan Yunjun and Xiao Zhan did not drink the rebels to attack Zhongjing from the north and south, and the offensive was extremely fierce. However, the defenders of Zhongjing relied on the high walls to resist their onslaught wave after wave, and the city showed no signs of being breached.

Bang......!! An earth-shattering loud noise suddenly drowned out all the sounds on the battlefield, and the soldiers and civilians of Zhongjing only felt the ground shaking, and following the sound, they only saw a huge cloud of smoke and flames mixed with countless rubble, and the human body was rising from the vicinity of the south city gate, like a volcanic eruption! The Khitan soldiers and civilians were so shocked that they almost thought that a terrible natural disaster had occurred! Almost at the same time, there was a loud and earth-shaking noise near the North City Gate.

Yan Yunjun and Xiao Zhan didn't drink, and the rebels used the thunderbolt to blow up a hole in the city walls on the north and south sides, and then the two war horses rushed in with shouts. The panicked Khitan soldiers couldn't resist it, and were rushed into the city by Xiao Zhan's rebels and Yan Yunjun, seeing that Zhongjing was about to fall.

However, Liu Zhiliang and others found that the situation was becoming more and more wrong, and reinforcements from the Khitan army continued to rush to the south to join the battle and fight back desperately, but gradually the offensive of the Yanyun army was contained; However, Yan Yun Zhan Cavalry, who rushed into the city, could not be used on the narrow streets, and his situation became more and more disadvantaged.

"Something is wrong! Why does it seem that all the defenders of the Khitan army are pressing on our side? What is Xiao Zhan doing without drinking? Liu Zhiliang frowned and said angrily.

Huyan Bixian led the assault cavalry to desperately rush forward in the streets, fighting bloodily on the long streets, fighting extremely fiercely, but it was difficult to make any progress, seeing the Khitan army's dense forest-like spears surging, the Yanyun army's war cavalry was about to be unable to support it! At this moment, a herald cavalry rushed up and shouted: "The general has an order, all soldiers and horses stop attacking and retreat!" Huyan was furious, "Retreat?!" Why? The herald said: "There is an enemy outflanking from the flank, and the general orders all the troops to retreat immediately!" ”

Huyan Bixian frowned, glanced back at the blood-soaked street, and shouted, "Retreat!" So the Yanyun army's cavalry, which broke into the city, quickly withdrew.

Huyan Bixian came to Liu Zhiliang and said angrily: "General, just retreat like this, the brothers have died in vain!" Liu Zhiliang pointed to the left front, "Look over there!" Huyan Bixian looked in the direction of Liu Zhiliang's finger, and sure enough, he saw the smoke and dust outside the West City, and there were many shadows under the smoke and dust, as if there were countless enemy war horses surging forward! Huyan Bixian was taken aback, "What's going on?" ”

Liu Zhiliang raised his voice and said: "The whole army is arrayed, ready to fight!" ”

Soon after, the enemy army came closer, and sure enough, it was all cavalry. Hu Yan Bixian looked at it carefully, revealing a look of great surprise, "Why does it seem to be Xiao Zhan's army?" Liu Zhiliang frowned and shouted, "Don't care so much, get ready to fight!" "Yes!"

A few trumpets rang out from the enemy cavalry, and then they howled and surged like a rapidly spreading tide. Liu Zhiliang shouted to Huyan Bixian: "I attack head-on, you attack the flank!" Immediately, Yanyun cavalry also launched a charge, Liu Zhiliang led the main force to meet the front, and Huyan Bixian led a cavalry to make a detour on the side.

The waves of cavalry on both sides collided fiercely, and they saw that under the light of the sword, the people were flying on their backs and flesh and blood. Just when the cavalry groups on both sides were inseparable, the cavalry led by Huyan Bixian slammed into the Khitan cavalry group from the flank, and smashed the Khitan cavalry into two with one blow. The Khitan army was horrified, and the momentum was suddenly discharged, and the situation was inevitably a little chaotic. At this time, Liu Zhiliang waved his army to attack, and the Khitan army immediately couldn't resist it and rushed away.

Seeing this, Emperor Ye Yan, who was standing in the attic of the palace and watching the battle, couldn't help but exclaim: "In the past, I only heard how strong Yan Yunjun was, but today I saw it with my own eyes, and I know that the rumors are really true!" With such a strong army and sharp brigade, it is no wonder that our army has repeatedly folded in front of it! ”

After repelling the enemy cavalry, Yan Yun's army did not pursue it exhaustively, but quickly retreated to the battalion.

Back in the big tent, Hu Yan Bixian scolded very annoyedly: "What are you doing without drinking?!" Liu Zhiliang frowned tightly, and his face was thoughtful.

A scout hurriedly rushed in, knelt down and said, "General, Xiao Zhan didn't drink the general was killed by his subordinates, and all the troops under the Zhan didn't drink were lured down by Ye Hu Huge!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and Hu Yanbixian asked urgently, "How can this be?" ”

"When Xiao Zhan's army broke through the city, the Liao Emperor Ye Yugan suddenly appeared on the city tower and announced that the soldiers of the army were not drunk, asking them to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. There was a commotion in Xiao Zhan's army, and then someone killed Zhan Xuan. Then Ye Hugh took the opportunity to come forward and recruit Xiao Zhan to drink the army. Immediately, he sent his general Paba to lead the army around the city to assault our army. ”

Hu Yan Bixian scolded: "It's been a long time, and the Khitan war cavalry that attacked us just now is actually Xiao Zhan's army, ******!" ”

Liu Zhiliang pondered: "Now that the situation has taken a turn for the worse, we must retreat immediately!" ”

In the palace, "Your Majesty, the current situation is very unfavorable to Yan Yunjun, they must not dare to stay here!" Prime Minister Han De conceded. Ye Yan frowned and said, "What does the prime minister mean that they want to run?" Han Derang nodded. Brother Ye Hugh next to him said with a hideous face: "Your Majesty, you must not let this Yanyun army run away!" Be sure to wipe them out here once and for all! Ye Yan also had this intention, nodded, and said categorically: "If they can't be eliminated, where is the majesty of my Great Liao Kingdom!" "Look at Brother Yahu, "Please ask the generalissimo to command all the armies of Zhongjing Province, and be sure to annihilate this Yanyun army!" Yeylord Hugh was overjoyed and bowed down to promise.

Yeychelo left the palace in a hurry, went to the barracks, gathered the generals, and delivered orders. By this time the sun had set, and the moon hung on the treetops, it was unusually quiet compared to the hustle and bustle of the day.

Soon after, this rare silence was broken, and the Khitan army troops poured out of the city like a tide, with infantry behind and cavalry in front, and 100,000 troops slaughtered towards the Yanyun army camp. The Yanyun military camp was very quiet, as if it was completely unaware of the enemy's arrival.

The Khitan army shouted and rushed into the barracks, only to find that it was actually an empty camp. Brother Ye immediately realized that something was wrong, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Retreat! Evacuate! At this moment, the shouts of the sky and the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded in the darkness around them, and two war horses rushed from both sides under the leadership of Liu Zhiliang and Huyan Bixian; At the same time, countless rockets were fired into the barracks, which immediately ignited the firewood and grass piled up in the barracks, and in the blink of an eye, the flames rolled into the sky.

The Khitan army in the barracks had no time to withdraw, and was burned by the flames and cried for a long time; The Khitan army outside the barracks was violently charged by Yanyun's war cavalry for several sections, swept the columns, and killed countless Jin soldiers by slashing and slashing horses.

The Khitan army couldn't resist it, and they ran backwards, and the Yanyun army chased and killed under the city wall before collecting the troops, and the Khitan army corpses were already all over the field!

The emperor and the ministers of the court were waiting for the good news to come, but they did not expect the news of the defeat to come, and they were all stunned. Some ministers suggested that they should abandon the city and flee for their lives, but fortunately, Ye Yan was a little bold and rejected this suggestion. A moment later, news came that Yan Yun's army had withdrawn before it could break into the city. Only then did the monarchs and ministers breathe a sigh of relief.

Frightened, he checked the soldiers under his command and found that only 60,000 or 70,000 of the 100,000 troops had returned when they left the city. Brother Ye Hugo couldn't help but feel like crying without tears, but for Yan Yunjun, it was already a fear from the heart. Although the current strength is still several times that of the Yanyun army outside the city, they dare not go out of the city again. Not only him, but the soldiers of the Khitan army did not dare to go out of the city, in their eyes, maybe the Yanyun army was a demon at all!

Liu Zhiliang immediately looked at Zhongjing City in front of the burning barracks, smiled coldly, turned his head to Huyan Bixian, and said: "Okay, the enemy army will not dare to come out again, we can retreat!" ”

Yan Yunjun cremated the remains of his fallen brothers and quickly evacuated Zhongjing with their ashes.

20,000 warrior cavalry retreated in the direction of Deshan.

Xiao Luyegan, who had already marched to Shiziling, received a report from the scouts that the Zhongjing crisis had been resolved, Xiao Zhan had not drunk and was killed, Xiao Zhan had not drunk the army anyway, and Yan Yun's army had retreated to the vicinity of Deshan. Lu Yegan immediately decided to change the original plan to support Zhongjing, and decided to divide the army under his command into two ways to encircle Liu Zhiliang and Huyan Bixian's Yanyun army.

Just when Xiao Luye had made up his mind and was ready to put it into practice, an urgent report suddenly came from the rear, and it turned out to be the news of the loss of Zezhou! When Xiao Luyegan and the others heard the news, they were all shocked. Where is Zezhou? Zezhou is more than 150 miles south of Zhongjing, located in the north of Shenshan and Songting Pass, is an important barrier to the south of Zhongjing, and is also an important city in the thoroughfare of Liao in all directions, and its position is extremely important.

Xiao Luye thought about it, he was really worried that the emperor would be questioned about the loss of Zezhou, and he was also worried that Yan Yunjun would raid him from the rear. So he gave up the plan to encircle and suppress Liu Zhiliang's troops, and instead stationed a force of soldiers and horses in Shiziling to prevent Liu Zhiliang from raiding his rear, and he himself led the main force to turn back and counterattack Zezhou.

A day later, the army entered the city of Zezhou and immediately launched an attack. Yan Yun's army put up a little resistance and retreated eastward. When the Khitan army recaptured Zezhou, they found that the official treasury and the mansions of the nobles had all been looted, and most of the money and grain that had been looted had been distributed to the local people by the Yanyun army. The nobles sent people to the homes of the commoners to rob the money and food, killing and wounding many people, which aroused the anger of the commoners, and they took up arms to fight back, not only killing many of the nobles' thugs, but also taking advantage of the situation to rush into the homes of many nobles and loot.

The nobles rushed to Xiao Lu Yegan's big tent in a panic to ask for help, Xiao Lu Yegan heard that the civilians had rebelled, and couldn't help but be furious, and immediately dispatched a large army to suppress it, resulting in a fierce melee with the civilians. The entire city of Zezhou was filled with murderous sounds and fireworks.

Ma Liang, who had retreated to Songting Pass, saw the chaos in Zezhou City, and couldn't help but feel very strange. Soon after, the scout returned and reported the details to Ma Qiang. Ma Qiang said excitedly: "King Yan's strategy is really useful!" Now that Zezhou is in chaos, when will you not take the opportunity to stab him hard? Immediately, only a hundred people were left to guard Songting Pass, and he led all the war horses out of the pass and went to Zezhou.

The Khitan army of Lu Ye's cadre was fighting with the people in the city, and he was so anxious that he didn't watch out for Ma Qiang suddenly leading Yanyun to kill and kick into the Khitan army camp. There were not many Khitan troops left behind in the military camp outside the city, and they were caught off guard, so they completely collapsed in an instant. The defeated army rushed into Zezhou City in a hurry with Xiao Luye and others.

Ma Qiang rushed into the city and attacked with his army. The Khitan army couldn't figure out how many Yan Yun troops had come in a hurry, only to hear the sound of killing, as if there were countless soldiers and horses killed, they couldn't help but be frightened, and fled to the north one after another, trampling on each other and killing countless people. Ma Qiang drove the Khitan army out of Zezhou like this.

Immediately, some local people cried to Yan Yunjun about being slaughtered by the aristocratic Khitan army. Ma Qiang didn't say a word, and immediately sent an army to help the people get justice, so the nobles fell into blood mold! The local people, with the support of Yan Yunjun, frantically killed the nobles in the city, if it weren't for Yan Yunjun deliberately protecting those women, children and the elderly, I was afraid that no one in the city would survive.

Night fell, the frenzied killing finally stopped, and the originally bustling and lively Zezhou became like hell! Corpses crushed the streets and alleys, blood filled the drained ditches, many houses were in ruins, and the cries echoed over the city, as bitter as the cry above a cemetery.

Xiao Luye retreated to Shiziling in a hurry, checked his subordinates, and found that he had only lost more than 10,000 people, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Looking back on the previous experience, I only felt very defeated. The army was immediately ordered to rest for the night and return early tomorrow morning to take revenge.

The next day, Lu Yegan led the army back to Zezhou. However, at this time, the gate of Zezhou City was wide open, and there was silence, as if it had become an empty city. Lu Yegan was puzzled instead, and did not dare to enter the city rashly. After hesitating for a moment, he sent a small group of cavalry into the city.

After a while, the cavalry came back and reported: "General, the Yanyun army has left, and the people are gone, leaving only some orphans and widows of the nobles!" ”

Xiao Lu Yegan hurriedly led the army into the city. Seeing Zezhou City, which was almost in ruins, Xiao Luyegan felt like crying without tears. Many orphans and widows gathered around and cried out about their misery. Xiao Luye was very irritable and ordered someone to drive them away. Scouts were immediately sent to investigate the situation of Yan Yunjun. Soon after, the scouts reported that Yan Yun's army had retreated to Songting Pass, and more than 100,000 people in the city had also followed Yan Yun's army south.

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