Chapter 246, Falling into a Trap

Jiang Li came in from outside and looked at Chai Yonghui and Yelu Hanyu with a hesitant look. Chen Xiao asked, "Is something wrong?" Seeing that Yang Peng asked, Jiang Li didn't dare to hide it, and hugged her fists and said: "I just received news from Tianjing New City, the Goryeo Navy has been dispatched, and at the same time, nearly 100,000 infantry troops are coming towards my Yanyun from the sea!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and Yelu Hanyu sneered: "What a coincidence! Looking at Yang Peng, "It seems that they have already planned it!" Yang Peng nodded and said to Jiang Li: "Order the navy to all go to Tianjing New City to face the battle!" Jiang Li answered and ran down.

Yang Peng pondered: "This time it is definitely not only the Goryeo army that has been dispatched, but the Khitan army is bound to come in a big way!" This battle is not easy, but I hate that I can't leave this bed! ”

Yelu Hanyu said: "Big brother, you don't have to worry about it, I'll deal with it!" Yang Peng thought about it and felt that Yelu Hanyu's strategy was not weaker than his own at all, and he was his wife, and it was no better for her to lead the army. So he nodded and said to Yelu Hanyu: "Then I will give the responsibility of guarding Yanyun to my little sister!" "Big brother, don't worry, you can take care of your illness!"

Soon after, all the civil and military officers who remained in Yanjing were summoned to Yang Peng's bedside to discuss countermeasures with Yang Peng. Yang Peng told the general situation, and everyone couldn't help but feel the seriousness of the situation, Qian Letian frowned and said: "The Khitan army will definitely attack at the same time!" Yang Peng said: "I have already ordered Juyong Pass, Gubei Pavilion, Longshan and Yuguan to be vigilant and strictly guarded, in addition, I have ordered the navy to go to Tianjing New City to meet the Goryeo army!" ”

Zuo Mou said worriedly: "All the sailors are going to Tianjing New City, I'm afraid that the Khitan army will take the opportunity to cross the sea to attack!" Yelu Hanyu said: "Don't worry about this for the time being. So far, there have been no reports of the assembly of the Khitan army, so it will take some time for them to gather ships and troops to launch a sea-crossing operation! We can use this time to defeat the Koreans first, and then turn back to deal with the Khitans! At that time, the worst-case scenario was that the Liao army had already crossed the sea and landed. In that case, we will cut off their sea passage with a naval army, and at the same time hold the key points, and then counterattack when the enemy runs out of food, and maybe we can completely annihilate the landing Khitan army! ”

Everyone nodded, and Yelu Hanyu said, "But before that, preparations must be made to evacuate the people and supplies to a safe place." Otherwise, once the enemy army lands, I am afraid that it will be too late to do these things again! Hey, if the Liao army really landed, I'm afraid that countless grain fields and towns will be in ruins! Everyone couldn't help but be very depressed, and Yang Jing shouted: "Then don't let the Khitan dog land!" ”

Everyone laughed. Qian Lotian said: "I'm afraid it's not easy!" To really stop the Khitans from landing on the shore, it is necessary to defeat the Goryeo naval army! But this Goryeo navy is not simple, under the careful construction of the three generations of Goryeo kings, the Goryeo navy is probably the most powerful navy in the world! With 100,000 troops, all kinds of warships are also twice as large as the previous Liao State Naval Army, among which there is a kind of tortoiseshell warship, shaped like a big dragon tortoise, the speed is very slow, but it is extremely strong, it is said that ordinary stone cannons can not cause much damage to it, and it is difficult to jump to the gang to fight! ”

"This kind of tortoiseshell ship is also very powerful, and the nose is equipped with steel ramming horns, which can be devastating when it hits other ships! In addition, it is also equipped with weapons that are said to be similar to the Central Plains Fierce Fire Oil Tank, which can burn enemy ships at close range! In short, this tortoiseshell ship is very powerful, and it is not easy to defeat it! The Goryeo Navy is not only armed to the teeth, but also the sailors are trained by skilled fishermen, and fighting in the water is really like a fish in water, which is by no means comparable to the previous Liao Navy Army! ”

Yang Jing said angrily: "Do you want to say that our navy can't beat the Goryeo navy?" Qian Lotian smiled; I'm just going to tell you everything I know. ”

Yang Peng said: "The Goryeo Navy is indeed very powerful, so we must prepare for the worst in this battle." The worst-case scenario is that our navy failed to defeat the Goryeo navy, resulting in the landing of the Goryeo army and the Liao army in our Yanyun hinterland! Then we can only rely on the army to keep Yanyun and defeat the enemy! Glancing at Yelu Hanyu, "In order to minimize the losses as much as possible, we must evacuate the people and supplies to a safe place in advance!" ”

Turning his head to Zuo Mou, he said: "Zuo Mou, the matter of organizing the retreat will be left to you!" Evacuate the people and supplies to Yanjing, don't act for the time being, make preparations, and wait for orders from my side! "Yes!"

Yang Peng looked at Qian Letian, "You are still responsible for the preparation and transfer of logistics materials!" "Yes!" Zuo Mou clenched his fists and promised, and then suggested: "Lord, we should transfer some troops back from Hebei and Shandong, otherwise, the local garrison of Yanyun is too thin!" Three legions of 200,000 troops, I am afraid that it will be difficult to cope with the worst situation! ”

Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully, "In this way, transfer 100,000 directly subordinate legions from Yingtianfu, Guangji Army, and Puzhou to help." "Yang Peng's direct legion has a total strength of 200,000, of which only 5,000 are left in Yanjing, and the rest of the army is all outside, among them, 30,000 soldiers and horses are on the Chengtian military village, and the remaining nearly 170,000 soldiers and horses are arranged in Yingtianfu, Guangji Army and Puzhou, in addition to the guards of the direct legion, there are 60,000 soldiers of the Fourth Legion, and after the 100,000 soldiers of the direct legion are withdrawn, there are only 130,000 soldiers and horses left in this area, which is a little thin.

"Also, bring the Fifth Army back. In this case, Yan Yun has 360,000 ground troops, and he should be able to deal with the most critical situation! "The Fifth Army and the Sixth Army were led by Duan Zhixian to go south to break through the Daimyo's Mansion, and then captured Kaide Mansion, that is, Puyang, and now the two legions of 120,000 soldiers and horses are mainly guarding the fork of the Yellow River where Puyang is located, if the Fifth Army is transferred, there will only be 60,000 soldiers and horses guarding here, and it is impossible to attack, only to defend.

Zuo Mou frowned and said, "In this way, the pressure on the south side will be great!" In case the Liao army in the Central Plains takes the opportunity to launch a large-scale attack, I am afraid that it will ......" Yang Peng said categorically: "I believe they will be able to hold it!" The firm words made everyone present feel infinite confidence out of thin air. Yang Peng said to Chai Yonghui: "Little sister, help me write a letter," Chai Yonghui responded, and immediately walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down, spread out the paper, and Jiang Li sharpened the ink. When he was ready, Chai Yonghui picked up the brush and looked at Yang Peng; "What is Big Brother going to write?" Yang Peng said: "I read you write!" There was a pause.

"Han Bing, the war in the north has started again, and the entire Goryeo Navy has set out with the intention of destroying our Yanyun Navy. I was confident that I would defeat the enemy, but I had to prepare for the worst and fight the enemy on land. Therefore, I will transfer the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Army and 100,000 directly subordinate legions back to defend Yanyun. In this way, the army in the south will be thin, and the burden of a thousand pounds will be handed to you, so I hope you will be careful not to give the enemy any chance! If the situation is really difficult to maintain, you can give up the whole of Shandong, and you have full control over how to choose, and you don't have to ask me for instructions! “

After Yang Peng finished reading, Chai Yonghui had already finished writing. got up and went back to the bed and showed Yang Peng. Yang Peng nodded, "Okay, send it out immediately!" Jiang Li immediately came up and took the letter. Yang Peng instructed: "At the same time, I must also send a message to Duan Zhixian, Cheng Shijie and others, telling them that Han Bing's orders must be strictly implemented, Han Bing's orders are my orders, and violators will be dealt with by military law!" Jiang Li answered and ran down.

A secret guard rushed in and presented a letter, "Urgent military information from General Liu Zhiliang!" Yang Peng said to Yelu Hanyu: "Take a look for me." Yelu Hanyu hurriedly took the letter, opened it, took out the letter, read it, and frowned. Turning to Yang Peng, he said: "The Liao State has Ye Yu Guanyin as the commander, and the 500,000 army is gathering in Runzhou. ”

Although everyone had expected it, they were still taken aback when they heard the news. Chai Yonghui frowned and said: "As soon as the eldest brother had an accident, Liao Guo and Gao Li acted together, obviously it was planned a long time ago!" Yang Jing said viciously: "Damn! I'm going to cut off the heads of these frustrated birds and vent my anger for my eldest brother! ”

Yang Peng frowned and said, "I'm worried about the safety of Juehua Island!" The first thing they want to attack must be Juehua Island! "At present, there are 5,000 soldiers of the Second Army on Juehua Island, and the leading general is Xiao Chen, who was originally an officer of the Liao State, and fled into Yanyun with Yang Peng and others, and then joined the Yanyun Army, and later accumulated merit and was promoted to the commander of the Left Army Infantry of the Second Army. Another secret guard rushed in and hurriedly reported: "Master, there are a lot of rumors outside, saying, saying ,......"

Yang Peng smiled: "Does it mean that I am dead?" ”

"Yes." The women were furious, and Chai Yonghui said angrily: "Who is so hateful? Yang Peng smiled: "It must be the spy of Goryeo and Liao!" They probably thought I had been killed, so they spread rumors to create chaos! Yelu Hanyu said: "I'll deal with it immediately!" Then he left.

Soon after, Yelu Hanyu brought more than a dozen secret guards and Feifeng female guards to the downtown area of Yanjing. When the people heard the rumors that King Yan was dead, they were all shocked and panicked, but now when they saw Mrs. Yan Wang coming, they surrounded them. An old man raised his voice and said, "Madam, may I ask if His Royal Highness King Yan is okay?" The others also asked one after another, and they all looked very worried.

Yelu Hanyu raised his voice and said: "Don't listen to the rumors, big brother, he's fine!" The one who spreads this rumor is to want us to be chaotic! When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but they were still uneasy in their hearts, and someone raised their voices: "Since King Yan is fine, can you let us meet King Yan?" The people echoed it, and they all longed to see King Yan.

Yelu Hanyu said: "Although the eldest brother is unharmed, he was stabbed by the assassin, and he is recuperating at the moment, so it is inconvenient to come out!" Immediately someone shouted, "Who believes this?" Isn't it that King Yan is dead, and you don't mourn! The people were in an uproar.

Yelu Hanyu saw a sneaky young man hiding behind the crowd, and it seemed that he was the one who spoke just now, and immediately pointed at him with a horsewhip and shouted, "Arrest that spy for me!" The two guards rushed at once. Seeing that something was wrong, the man quickly turned around and fled, but was thrown to the ground by two young people. Stealth arrived, dragged him up, and escorted him to Jerutrius.

Yelu Hanyu asked, "Are you a Khitan or a Goryeo?" The young man snorted, "I'm Han!" Obviously, you are suspicious and secretive, and you actually use me to divert your attention! Then he shouted to the people: "King Yan is dead, I saw it with my own eyes!" Otherwise, why didn't King Yan come out! "The people are suspicious, and the people's hearts are in turmoil.

"Don't listen to this spy! He clearly wants to mess with me Yanyun! Come on, search your body! When the young man heard that he was going to be searched, his face changed, and he struggled and shouted: "It is clear that you want to usurp power and kill King Yan, but you have come to frame me!" This made the people even more uneasy.

The guards searched his body and found some items used by the Koreans, and the young man looked very frightened. When the sharp-eyed people saw the items that only Goryeo people had, they were furious and shouted, "This bastard is a spy of Goryeo!" Shoot him! A large crowd of people immediately rushed up screaming and knocking the young man to the ground, punching and kicking him. After the hidden killing finally dispersed the crowd, the Korean man had been beaten to the point that he was completely out of shape, dying, with more air out and less air in.

Yelu Hanyu frowned, and quickly ordered the secret guards to escort him down. When he walked out of the crowd, many people still spat and beat him. walked out of the crowd, and I don't know how many punches and kicks I received, and I saw that it was no longer good.

An old man walked up to Yelu Hanyu's horse, clasped his fists and pleaded: "Madam, if King Yan is really fine, please let us meet King Yan, so that our little bosses can rest assured!" Everyone agreed.

Yelu Hanyu frowned and said, "I have just said that last night, King Yan was assassinated by the Goryeo assassins and was injured, and now he is recuperating from his injuries, so it is really inconvenient to come out." ”

The people are still very suspicious. "King Yan is here!" Suddenly, someone shouted in a very surprised tone. Everyone hurriedly followed the prestige, only to see an open-top carriage surrounded by all the secret guards and Feifeng female guards, and the person sitting in the carriage was none other than Yang Peng, the king of Yan. Thousands of people were pleasantly surprised, and immediately rushed forward, shouting 'Yan Wang' while trying to get close to the carriage, the secret guards did their best to block the overly enthusiastic people, and the Feifeng Guard guarded the inner circle.

I don't know who took the lead in bowing down, and thousands of people knelt down and kowtowed: "Meet His Royal Highness King Yan......!" For a moment, I saw a surge of people, and a huge sound echoed in the sky above Yanjing. Yelu Hanyu was immediately outside the crowd, looking at the scene in front of him, and sincerely happy for his eldest brother!

Yang Peng raised his voice and said: "Everyone doesn't have to be polite, let's get up!" The people stood up. Yang Peng smiled: "I'm really sorry, I made everyone worried!" The old man who was talking to Yelu Hanyu just now said loudly in an extremely excited tone: "His Royal Highness King Yan, seeing that you are okay, my old man is relieved!" Yang Peng smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you old man, I'm fine!" It's just that the Koreans took a bite! Immediately, someone scolded angrily: "The hateful Goryeo people dare to assassinate King Yan, they must not be spared!" Everyone echoed each other, and angry shouts and curses came one after another.

Yang Peng raised his voice and said: "I am very touched by everyone's kindness, but please listen to me, don't embarrass those Goryeo businessmen who come to Yanyun to do serious business!" The people looked at each other with a very reluctant look. The old man just now raised his voice and said, "Since His Royal Highness King Yan has an order, let's act according to His Royal Highness King Yan's orders!" The crowd agreed.

Yang Peng hugged his fists and said: "Thank you!" The people were flattered and said: "Obeying King Yan's order is a matter of course, how dare you be this thank you!" Yelu Hanyu rode over and shouted: "You have seen the eldest brother, you should rest assured!" Now it's all gone! The people bowed to Yang Peng one after another, but dispersed.

Yelu Hanyu came to Yang Peng's side, glanced at Yang Peng, and said angrily: "Old man Wang told you not to move, did you forget?" Yang Peng smiled, "Isn't there no way!" Besides, I came out to be carried by everyone, and I came here in a carriage again, and I didn't move my hands and feet, it's okay! Yelu Hanyu snorted, "Okay, stop talking nonsense, go back quickly!" So the team turned around and went back to the Left-behind Mansion.

Along the way, the cold rain of Jerod was sullen. Yang Peng thought she was angry, and said with a smile: "Okay, I was wrong, I will definitely not next time, don't be angry!" The guards snickered. Yelu Hanyu sighed, "I'm not thinking about what happened just now, I'm thinking that I'm going to leave my eldest brother, and I feel very uncomfortable!" Yang Peng thought that she was going to go to the front line instead of herself, and he felt very uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "There is nothing uncomfortable, I believe it will be back soon!" ”

Yelu Hanyu said angrily: "Of course you are not uncomfortable, in addition to me, you also have Sister Yonghui, as well as Yang Tong and Zhao Jinxi, the two little goblins!" Yang Peng said, "You are unique in the heart of the eldest brother, and no one can replace you!" It really hurts the eldest brother to dare to doubt his eldest brother's heart for you! Yelu Hanyu was very happy and said softly: "Okay, okay, it's my mistake!" Otherwise, or you will punish me tonight, big brother! Yelu Hanyu's eyes showed a strange look.

Yang Peng was very moved when he saw Yelu Hanyu's charming appearance of being picked by Ren Jun, and then rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Where can I move now!" Yelu Hanyu smiled charmingly, "You don't have to move, I'll just move!" Yang Peng's eyes widened and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. Yelu Hanyu snorted and glanced at Yang Peng, "Stupid!" Then he frowned and said, "I don't know if I can do that, I have to ask Old Man Wang first!" I felt a little inappropriate, "Well, otherwise, when I come back, we will stay alone for three days and three nights, which can be regarded as your reward for me!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Okay!" It's all up to you! Yelu Hanyu was very excited, and looking at her appearance, it seemed that she couldn't wait!

Early the next morning, Yelu Hanyu reluctantly bid farewell to Yang Peng, and led a team of Feifeng guards and secret guards to leave Yanjing and go to Tianjing New Town. The news that the Goryeo army and the Liao army were about to invade Yanyun on a large scale spread all over Yanyun, and under the spread of well-intentioned people, the people everywhere were panicked. However, fortunately, the local government came forward to stabilize the people's hearts as soon as possible, so that there were no major problems.

Soon after, news came from the direction of Juehua Island that Yayu Guanyin attacked Juehua Island with 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the battle was extremely fierce; At the same time, after discussing with Liu Zhiliang, Zhan Jin Guo led two thousand Xuanjia troops to repeat their old tricks and went out of Yuguan in an attempt to attack the logistics of the Khitan army, but Zhan Jin Guo and Liu Zhiliang did not know at this moment that Ye Yu Guanyin had laid a net against the Xuanjia army of Zhan Jin and was waiting for them.

Zhan Jin led 2,000 Xuanjia troops day and night, all the way to Hailong Fort, more than ten miles northeast of Runzhou, according to intelligence, more than 100,000 loads of grain and grass of the Liao army's 500,000 troops were all placed there. The purpose of Zhanjin's trip was to destroy the logistics of the Khitan army in order to force the Khitan army to delay the attack.

The night of this day was very dark, the stars and the moon were dark, the wind was like a ghost crying wolf, Zhan Jin led two thousand Xuanjia troops to advance to the north of Runzhou City for more than ten miles, and a huge black shadow like a mountain in the distance was the Hailong Fort where the Khitan army hoarded grain and grass.

Zhan Jin Guo ordered the soldiers and horses to slowly approach the Sea Dragon Fort, and at the same time ordered a team of elites to climb the wall, quietly remove the sentries above and below the sea dragon fort gate, and then open the city gate.

Zhan Jin Guo saw the brilliance of a torch dancing rapidly in the city gate in front of him outside the city, and immediately led his Xuanjia army to rush up, and two thousand Xuanjia war horses poured into the city gate like a tide.

Kill...... Suddenly, the sound of killing was everywhere, and countless torches appeared around, illuminating the originally dark Sea Dragon Castle as if it were daylight, and there were only shadows under the firelight, as if there were infinite people and horses. Zhan Jin found out that he had been ambushed, and immediately led his army to break through to the city gate. At this moment, arrows rained down all around, and the Xuanjia army planted their horses one after another; The people in front shouted that the horses neighed, and they saw countless Jin Army foot riders rushing in from the gate, blocking the retreat of the Xuanjia Army.

The Xuanjia army did not stop, and rushed straight up, crashing into the enemy group, a fierce battle! Zhan Jin took the lead in picking up the five fierce generals of the Jin Army, and the Xuanjia War Horse Riding Horse Rush Forward, killing the Khitan Army War Riders on their backs, and killing the Khitan Army foot soldiers and corpses flying with blood. The Khitan army could not resist scattering and fleeing.

When the Khitan troops in the city saw this, they were all taken aback and surrounded them one after another. Immediately, three hundred Xuanjia war horses separated, divided into three teams, and turned around and crashed into the wave of enemy troops. I saw that the three hundred Xuanjia war horses were fighting bloodily in the boundless tide of enemy troops, slashing and killing countless enemies one after another, while they died on the battlefield one by one! A soldier of the Xuanjia Army bravely swung his horizontal knife in the enemy's tide of guns, slashed several enemy soldiers in succession, and then rushed up to one side A group of pikemen, the spears poked together, poked his war horse to the ground, and he fell off the horse. Jumped up, swung his knife and killed, only to see blood flying, roaring like a tiger, and three Khitan soldiers were cut to the ground by him again, at this time, countless spears poked from all directions, piercing his body together!

Thanks to the desperate and bloody battle of these three hundred Xuanjia warriors to buy them time for the Zhanjin Kingdom, they were able to recapture the city gate, open the city gate, and run out of the city.

Seeing that the brigade had successfully withdrawn, the Xuanjia War Cavalry, who was blocking the enemy, prepared to escape. But at this moment, a team of Khitan army horsemen rushed to the city gate from the gallop road by the wall, took the city gate again, and closed the city gate. This time, the Xuanjia army outside the city could not enter the city, and the Xuanjia army inside the city was in a desperate situation.

The boundless golden army cavalry was wrapped around, and the lonely figure of the Xuanjia war horse fought until the last moment.

Zhan Jin Guo was extremely excited, and turned around to seize the city gate to rescue his comrades. A captain grabbed the reins of his horse and said urgently: "General, you can't let the brothers die in vain, let's go!" Zhan Jinguo said angrily: "Our brothers live and die together!" They must not be left behind! Come with me if you want to go back with me! Immediately, he broke away from the captain and rode towards the Sea Dragon Castle, and all the Xuanjia soldiers followed without hesitation.

They suddenly turned back from the Jin Kingdom, and more than 100 Xuanjia soldiers climbed the wall and launched a surprise attack on the Khitan army above and below the city gate. The Khitan army did not expect that they would dare to come back from the Liao Kingdom, and they were caught off guard, and as a result, the city gate was taken away by the Xuanjia army.

The city gate opened, and Zhan Jin took the lead in leading the main force of the Xuanjia Army to pour into the city gate, fiercely crashing into the boundless and endless waves of enemy troops! The Khitan army in the city did not expect the Xuanjia army to go and return at all, and was caught off guard, and the commotion became chaotic. I saw that Yanyun rode like a tiger into a flock, iron hooves rushed forward, the horse lance and horizontal knife set off a rain of blood, the Khitan soldiers ran and dodged in panic, only to see the Khitan army retreat to both sides like the tide of the ebb tide. The main force of the Xuanjia Army rescued dozens of Xuanjia troops who were already covered in blood when they were encircled, and then turned around and broke out.

Xiao Tiehegan, the general of the Khitan army, was greatly annoyed when he saw this scene, and hurriedly waved his army to chase and kill.

The two sides rushed out for more than ten miles one after the other. Zhan Jinguo let his cavalry continue to run, but he turned his horse's head and rushed head-on at tens of thousands of Khitan army cavalry!

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