Chapter 255. Fierce battles, collapses
Brother Ye Hugh was speechless by Yang Peng's robbery for a while, and only after a long time did he say gloomily: "Since you are looking for death, I will fulfill you!" Yang Peng laughed, "I'm afraid you don't have that ability!" Then he turned the horse's head around and galloped back into the city. Yehugo snorted coldly, turned his horse's head and galloped back to the military formation. Immediately, I saw the Liao army slowly retreating, retreating to a small stream more than ten miles away, and camping with its back against the hills.
After Yang Peng ordered the four gates to increase vigilance, he ordered all armies to seize the time to rest and recuperate. That night, Yang Peng and Yang Jiumei snuggled up to each other and lay on the bed talking. "Tomorrow is the beginning of the war!" Yang Jiumei said. Yang Peng glanced at his wife in his arms and asked, "Are you afraid?" ”
Yang Jiumei shook her head, "Don't be afraid," glanced at Yang Peng's face, "As long as you are with your eldest brother, you are not afraid of anything!" Yang Peng couldn't help but kiss Yang Jiumei. Yang Jiumei squeezed her moving body into Yang Peng's arms, "Big brother, if we don't fight in the future, let's go to a secluded place with inaccessible scenery and beautiful scenery, okay?" Yang Peng stroked the waist of the ninth sister and nodded: "Okay!" Yang Jiumei sighed faintly, "I'm afraid that it's an unrealizable dream!" Even if there is no war in the future, the eldest brother still has endless things to deal with, where can he live in seclusion! ”
Yang Peng smiled and asked, "If I don't fight, how can I still have things that I can't deal with?" Yang Jiumei raised her head, put her chin on Yang Peng's chest, and looked at Yang Peng's cheeks with her eyes, "After the battle is over, the eldest brother will naturally reign in the world, how can there be leisure at that time!" Yang Peng smiled: "This is maybe!" Yang Jiumei glanced at Yang Peng and put her cheek on Yang Peng's chest, "You, you're coaxing me again!" I don't have extravagant hopes for seclusion or anything, I just hope that my eldest brother won't snub me too much in the future! Hey, when the harem beauties are three thousand, I'm afraid that the eldest brother will have already thrown me out of the clouds! ”
Yang Peng's heart swelled with gentle feelings, hugged Yang Jiumei's delicate body, and said angrily: "Don't think nonsense, eldest brother can't live without you in this life!" Yang Jiumei was very happy.
At this time, the moonlight shone in from the window and reflected on Yang Jiumei's face. Yang Jiumei looked out the window, and saw that the bright moon like a silver hook had slanted west to the treetops in the west, and hurriedly said: "It's not early, let's rest quickly, there are big things to do tomorrow!" Yang Peng smiled slightly, hugged Yang Jiumei and closed his eyes. Yang Jiumei looked at Yang Peng's face, her beautiful eyes showed a happy smile, she also closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep. ……
Early the next morning, the armies of the two sides lined up outside the city to confront each other, 400,000 Khitan troops against 160,000 Yanyun troops, banners surged, the formation was like a mountain, and the murderous spirit rushed straight to Xiaohan.
Brother Ye Hugo immediately looked at the other party's military formation under the handsome banner, with a look of surprise in his eyes, he originally thought that Yan Yunjun would not be able to shrink, but he didn't expect to dare to go out of the city to face the battle. However, this is in the arms of Brother Ye Hugh, Brother Ye Hugh is eager to solve the Yan Yun Army here, if the Yan Yun Army shrinks and does not come out of the city, it will make him a little embarrassed, and now Yan Yun Jun does not know whether to go out of the city to face the battle, which is just enough for him to fight quickly.
Leaving the chaotic thoughts behind, Yehu Hugo raised his right hand, and the unique horn sound of the Khitan army sounded loudly, woo...... Woo...... Woo ......, slashing through the sky, Ye Hugh Ge's right hand swung forward violently, and the frontal front line immediately opened, and the 20,000 Iron Floating Slaughter surged out like a flood that opened the floodgates, rushing towards the Yanyun Army Formation on the opposite side, surging fiercely and unstoppable, worthy of the Khitan Army's rampant strong army and sharp brigade Iron Floating Slaughter! At the same time, 150,000 Khitan light cavalry outflanked from the left and right flanks. As soon as the Khitan army came up, it invested 170,000 cavalry to attack, obviously trying to crush the Yanyun army in one go!
In the face of the fierce offensive of the Khitan army, the Yanyun cavalry did not meet the battle, and the infantry formed a defensive formation, and the cavalry army was all wrapped in the military formation, waiting for the battle, not moving like a mountain.
In the blink of an eye, the light cavalry of the Khitan army approached the two wings of the Yanyun army. In an instant, Yan Yun's army fired 10,000 bullets in unison, and the dense rain of ammunition darkened the bright sky, and then I saw the Khitan light cavalry falling to the ground one after another, and countless ripples rippled in the turbulent wave, and the momentum of the charge was obviously disrupted! The Khitan army cavalry continued to charge, and they all shot at the Yanyun army with their riding and archery skills, and the arrow rain fell one after another, but most of them were blocked by shields!
The light cavalry of the Khitan army approached, the Yanyun army was full of firepower, and the special rocket nest car made a sharp whistling sound, only to see that the rocket rushed towards the enemy like a crazy swarm of bees, and at the same time, all the crossbows were also shot, plus ordinary bows and crossbows, in an instant, only arrows were flying in front of me! The light cavalry of the Khitan army turned on their backs, and fell to the ground in an instant! The momentum of the Khitan army was greatly defeated, and the momentum of the charge also stopped. At this moment, the two flanks of the Yanyun Army opened, and 60,000 light cavalry roared and rushed out of the military formation and killed the enemy! The army was taken aback, and before he could react, he was knocked into the middle by Yanyun War Horse! The Yanyun army marched forward bravely and fought hard, and the Khitan army was killed for a while and retreated again and again, but the Khitan army was several times larger than the Yanyun army after all, and finally stabilized its position and launched a counterattack! The horses of the two sides were mixed together, the blood was flying, the cold light was long, the cavalry was stained with blood on the battlefield, and the cavalry who fell off the war horse was trampled into meat by the chaotic horse hooves before they could get up!
At the same time, the 20,000 Iron Floating Slaughter of the Khitan Army slammed into Yanyun's frontal defense line like a stormy wave, and the defensive front composed of heavy shield pikemen was unexpectedly smashed to the point of staggering and crumbling, the soldiers of the Eighth Legion were not Yanyun's main force after all, and they were about to be unable to resist it! The tyrannical blood of the Tiefu Tu was completely boiling at this time, and they roared desperately and rushed forward, wielding the spear and axe in their hands vigorously, killing Yan Yunjun's staggered and frightened!
Seeing this, Yehu Hugo, who was watching the battle from behind, was very excited and shouted: "The whole army is assaulted!" Assault of the whole army! The whining horn sounded rapidly, and more than 200,000 Jin troops roared and swept towards the Yanyun army.
Yan Yun's frontal defense line finally couldn't resist and collapsed, and Tiefu Tu poured into Yan Yun's army formation.
At the critical moment, the Eighth Legion commanded the three thousand Mo Dao Army of Min and rushed forward, desperately counterattacking, and one Mo Dao Army could cut down one Tiefu Tu, and was smashed to the ground by another Tiefu Tu who followed closely! Blood for blood, life for life, extremely miserable!
Yang Peng raised the iron horse lance and waved it forward, and the army attacked in an all-round way, colliding with the Khitan army in a fierce battle. Nearly 600,000 troops on both sides fought back and forth, killing the sky and the sun and the moon. Suddenly, the Khitan army cavalry rushed into the Yanyun army and swept through the columns, and suddenly Yanyun warriors entered the middle of the Khitan army and moved forward, the armies of the two sides flickered and decided, the Khitan army relied on the absolute superiority of the army to try to cause an overwhelming victory, but it never succeeded, although the Yanyun army was at an absolute disadvantage, but it did not show any decline.
The battle lasted from morning to noon, and both sides were exhausted and wounded, and each retreated. The noisy battlefield fell silent, and the fields were strewn with corpses, and the originally green grass turned into a large area of earthy brown.
"Duan Zhixian, are you okay?" Yang Peng asked. At this time, Duan Zhixian was bandaging his wound with his upper body naked, just now in the melee, Duan Zhixian tried to attack Ye Yu Xiuge, but he didn't want to be hit in the chest by an arrow shot by one of the opponent's generals, fortunately, he was wearing a heavy armor, and most of the strength of the arrow was blocked by the armor, otherwise Duan Zhixian was afraid that he was already a corpse at the moment. Duan Zhixian laughed, "It's okay!" It's like a mosquito bite! Yang Peng smiled and patted him on the shoulder. After inspecting the scene and seeing these many wounded soldiers, I couldn't help but feel heavy, this battle did not take advantage of our own side, but killed and injured many people.
On the other side, Yehu Hugo was full of confidence, and said to the generals with a happy face in the big tent: "This battle is well fought!" Although they failed to completely defeat the Yan Yun Army, it severely damaged their spirit! All the generals were also beaming. He couldn't leave: "I'm afraid that the other party won't be able to shrink back, in that case, it will be very disadvantageous for us!" Brother Ye Hugo frowned and nodded, and said to the general under his command: "Send someone to send Yang Peng a box of women's clothes, and at the same time the next challenge letter!" "Yes!"
Yang Peng received the women's clothes sent by Brother Ye Hugh, except for Yang Peng, everyone was very angry, and he really wanted to rush out immediately and fight with Brother Ye Hugh. The envoy of Yehu Hugo presented the war book and said proudly: "The generalissimo said that if King Yan is a brave man, please go out of the city in three days to fight a decisive battle with our army, and the battle will be won or lost!" ”
Yang Peng glanced at Yang Jiumei, who immediately went down to take the battle book and came back to forward it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the battle book, threw it on the desk casually, and said to the messenger: "Since there is a decisive battle, why wait until three days later, just tomorrow, tomorrow morning, I will fight to the death with him and Brother Hugh!" The messenger was overjoyed, and said, "You are in a hurry to die!" He immediately agreed and retreated.
As soon as the messenger left, Chong Min advised: "King Yan, in today's big battle, our army's losses are secondary, but the whole army is very tired, and tomorrow will definitely not be able to recover, how can we fight?" King Yan must not be rash! ”
Yang Peng said: "I have my own measure, you don't have to say much!" "Chong Min was very depressed.
The messenger returned to the army and reported to the Jaehu: "Generalissimo, Yang Peng and the others are very angry when they see a large box of women's clothes, and they will fight a decisive battle tomorrow in less than three days!" ”
Brother Ye Hugh laughed, "I thought that Yang Peng, the king of Yan, was a difficult character to deal with, but I didn't expect it to be like this!" Good! Since he was in a hurry to die, I fulfilled him! ”
Xiao Gan frowned and said: "There will be another war tomorrow, I'm afraid that the soldiers won't be able to recover!" Xiao Telie said: "What are you afraid of, we can't recover, he Yan Yunjun can't recover either, the situation on both sides is the same!" ”
"Yes, that's not a problem! Tell all armies, seize the time to rest, and go to battle early tomorrow morning! Yaren Hugh said. The generals agreed in unison.
Early the next morning, the armies of the two sides once again fought a decisive battle on the field, and nearly 500,000 troops fought in a scuffle, and the battle situation was even more tragic than the previous day! The Eighth Army Corps was under siege and was killed, Yang Jing and Chen Jie were seriously injured, and Duan Zhixian was injured again! The battle lasted from morning to noon, and showed no sign of stopping, until just before dusk, when the exhausted sides withdrew their troops.
When he returned to the big tent, he said regretfully, "What a pity! I almost defeated Yang Peng today! That's just a little bit! ”
Xiao Gan frowned and said: "Today's battle is really miserable, and our army has at least thirty or forty thousand casualties!" Xiao Telie on the side said: "Yan Yun's loss is not small! Our 400,000 troops can afford it, but they can't! He said to Brother Yahu: "Generalissimo, the last general thinks that as long as there is another big war, they can be completely defeated!" Yehu Hugo nodded and said to Zhanle: "You, send someone to the war letter again!" ”
Soon after, the messenger sent by Zhanle returned, and reported: "Generalissimo, the king of Yan is already angry, and he will fight us to the death tomorrow!" "Yes! I'm afraid he won't dare! If he dares to come, then he will die! ”
After the meeting was dismissed, he left the big tent and walked to his military tent. On the way, I saw the exhausted and demoralized soldiers, and I felt worried for no reason. Returning to his tent, the generals Hua Qi and Hanon greeted him, and Hanon hurriedly asked, "General, has the Generalissimo decided on his next move?" ”
Xiao Gan sat down and frowned: "The generalissimo intends to rely on the huge advantage of his troops to fight quickly, and the strange thing is that Yang Peng has repeatedly fallen into the middle of the battle!" The generalissimo sent a messenger to send a war letter, Yang Peng wants to fight a decisive battle with our army tomorrow! Hua Hao smiled; All right! Just wiped them out in one fell swoop! Hanon said suspiciously: "Why is King Yan so unwise, he is so bloody with our army!" Isn't that like his style? Although the combat power of the Yan Yun army is strong, but after all, the strength is far inferior to our army, after two days of bloody battles, they are already the end of the strong crossbow, if they fight again tomorrow, they will definitely be defeated and lost, he Yan Wang has three heads and six arms and is unable to return to the sky! ”
Xiao Gan nodded, "I also feel strange!" ”
Hua Qi said angrily: "I don't think it's strange!" Then Yang Peng must think that he will definitely not be able to defend it, so he will take the initiative to attack, hoping to repel our army! Xiao Gan couldn't leave the thought and said: "What you said also makes sense, maybe I'm too careful!" ”
As the night passed, the sky brightened, and the armies of both sides once again lined up in formation on the field. This time, the momentum of the Khitan army was much worse than before, and the soldiers who were physically and mentally exhausted after two days of bloody fighting looked demoralized.
Yehugo raised his scimitar and shouted, "The victory or defeat depends on today's battle!" If anyone can take off Yang Peng's head, I will guarantee him the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households and reward him with ten thousand gold! The amazing reward poured into the hearts of the Khitan soldiers like a needle of chicken blood, and I saw them regain some momentum.
"The whole army is ready!" Jerehugo shouted. The whining horn sounded for a long time, and the Khitan soldiers let out one shout after another. Before the Khitan army launched an attack, it often made such moves, mainly to boost morale and deter the opponent.
Yahu Hugo was about to give the order to attack, but when he suddenly heard the sound of war drums on the opposite side, he couldn't help but be stunned. Immediately, I saw that the opposite front opened, nearly 20,000 horses were wearing heavy armor, and the murderous majestic war horses slowly came out of the army formation, and the 20,000 war horses, morale like a rainbow, were obviously a new force!
Brother Hydon and the others were surprised, and Yakhu Brother's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "Why did such an army suddenly appear?" "The Khitan army didn't know that Yan Yun's 20,000 Broken Formation Iron Cavalry had come, and in the bloody battle of the past two days, although the Yan Yun Army was in danger, the Broken Formation Iron Cavalry had never appeared, so everyone on the Khitan Army, including Ye Hu Huge, didn't expect that Yan Yun Army was still hiding such a new force! Dry not centrifugal in the rise of a bad premonition. The officers and soldiers of the Khitan Army couldn't help but panic when they saw that such a powerful new force suddenly appeared in the Yanyun Army.
The 20,000 Iron Cavalry Breakers quickly lined up in a horizontal charging formation, with 2,000 people in a horizontal row, a total of ten rows. The first, fourth, and sixth rows of Formation-Breaking Iron Cavalry are more majestic and imposing than the other Formation-Breaking Iron Cavalry, they are not ordinary Formation-Breaking Iron Cavalry, but the so-called 'Yanwang Iron Cavalry' equipped with Yanwang horses, and their combat power is more powerful than ordinary Formation-Breaking Iron Cavalry! The fierce generals Huyan Chijin, Yang Gui, Si Xing, Duan Zhixian, and Huyan Bixian stood in the middle of the iron horse.
Xiao Gan hurriedly said to Brother Ye Hugh: "Generalissimo, don't let them rush up!" ”
Yehu Hugo frowned, and immediately ordered the remaining 10,000 Tiefutu under his command to attack first, and at the same time ordered the light cavalry to kill on both wings.
10,000 tired Iron Floating Slaughter, with a shout, rushed out, rushing towards the iron cavalry that broke the formation on the opposite side, and at the same time, hundreds of thousands of light cavalry fought out on both wings. For a while, I saw the iron hooves surging, like a tide.
The first row of Yan Wang Iron Cavalry shouted violently, and under the leadership of Duan Zhixian, he urged the war horses to meet them, and the earth trembled, as if a row of mountains was surging, and the momentum suddenly trampled the Iron Floating Tu under his feet. Immediately, the second and third rows of formation-breaking iron cavalry met the left and right wings under the leadership of Si Xing and Huyan Bixian respectively, and at this time, all the light cavalry of all Yanyun Army also fought out of the military formation, in order to cooperate with the formation-breaking iron cavalry to meet the opponent's light cavalry.
Zhan Jin led the Yan King Iron Cavalry to smash into the middle of the Iron Floating Slaughter, and the Iron Floating Slaughter only felt as if an incomparably powerful tide had crashed in, and they were horrified in their hearts, and they were killed on their backs! The Tiefu Tu, who was quite fierce before, seemed to have no ability to resist here, and I saw the Yan King's iron riding mace whistling and flying, and the Tiefu Tu was flying with flesh and blood, and they planted their war horses one after another, which was really invincible! In the blink of an eye, the Iron Floaters couldn't resist and were defeated!
Yehu Hugo and the others were shocked.
The Tiefutu were routed along the edges of both sides of their own array, and Zhanjin led the Yan King Iron Cavalry in pursuit. At the same time, the main force of the Breaking Formation Iron Cavalry was activated, and the 14,000 Breaking Formation Iron Cavalry launched a charge against the Jin Army with the most terrifying Yan King Iron Cavalry as the vanguard! The roar was like thunder, like a tiger coming out of the box, and the earth shook, as if a mighty heaven had descended on the world! Before the battle, the soldiers of the Jin Army have changed color!
"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Yehunhu yelled at the top of his voice.
The Khitan crossbowmen hurriedly released their arrows, and the rain of arrows fell into the middle of the Breaking Array Iron Cavalry, but they were all bounced off by the heavy armor on the Breaking Formation Iron Cavalry, and the dense rain of arrows did not hurt them in the slightest!
In the blink of an eye, the torrent of iron cavalry that broke the formation crashed heavily into the Khitan army front, and only a loud sound like a storm crashing on the shore was heard. Where could the exhausted Khitan army withstand such a ferocious impact, they flew out one after another like a bowling ball being hit, and the defense line collapsed in an instant! Yang Gui and Huyan Chijin took the lead, leading the tiger-like iron cavalry to kick into the Khitan army formation, bravely rushing to kill, the Khitan army was killed to the point that the flesh and blood flew on their backs, and the large array composed of hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops was completely shaken!
In a panic, he hurriedly mobilized all the heavy infantry to meet the fierce and invincible Iron Cavalry. The heavy infantry of the Khitan army rushed forward, but they were cut down like seedlings in front of the harvester! Yang Gui swung a heavy hammer and smashed the enemy's soldiers' helmets to pieces, blood plasma flew, Huyan Chijin wielded a spear and moved forward, there was no one under his command, and those iron horsemen who broke the formation were also extremely fierce, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep!
At this time, Yang Peng led the whole army to kill, and the Khitan army, which was already unable to resist, was even more frightened. The morale of the Yanyun army was like a rainbow, and the Khitan army finally couldn't resist a complete collapse, and hundreds of thousands of horses lost their armor and turned their heads and ran backwards. At this time, the light cavalry on both wings of the Khitan army was also defeated by the Yanyun army and was fleeing.
Yan Yunjun roared and pursued and killed, and it was only after more than 30 miles that he collected his troops. On the wilderness of more than 30 miles, I saw corpses all over the field, blood flowing into canals, and armor, weapons and baggage abandoned by the Khitan soldiers were piled up.
Yang Peng immediately stood on the hill, looking at the tragic battlefield in front of him, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Duan Zhixian rode his horse to Chen Xiao and said excitedly: "Big brother, big brother!" We've won a big victory! The 400,000 Khitan troops were killed and captured more than 100,000, and the rest were all frightened birds! Yang Peng smiled, "Our loss is not small!" The Eighth Army lost more than half of it, even Chong Min was killed, and the cavalry also lost twenty or thirty thousand, and this battle could only be regarded as a crushing victory! ”
Duan Zhixian said grinningly: "How can there be immortals in war!" As long as you win, it's good! ”
Yang Peng smiled, glanced at the battlefield full of corpses, and ordered: "Leave some men and horses to clean up the battlefield, and the others retreat to calm down and recuperate!" Duan Zhixian promised, turned the horse's head, and ran down. Some people may wonder why Yang Peng didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue at this time? The reason is very simple, Yan Yunjun's losses are not small, and at the same time, they are already exhausted and unable to pursue.
Yeylord fled west and returned to the city of Bingzhou. Shocked, he checked the losses and found that the previous 400,000 army was actually only 1670,000 left! Not only that, but the generals under his command also suffered heavy losses, including the generals Mu Tuo, Xiao Tianfeng, and the important generals under Xiao Gan's command, Hanong, etc., Xiao Tian was seriously injured on the left side and was being rescued. Brother Hugh wants to cry without tears, and he has the heart to die!
Xiao Gan sighed, "King Yan fell to the ground, it's King Yan!" Fighting with our army for two days in a row is nothing more than an attempt to paralyze our army and exhaust our army! Yeyerhugo was depressed, he originally thought that his opponent had fallen into his own trap, but he did not expect that he had always fallen into his opponent's trap.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
