As the saying goes, 'Fortune is unequaled and disaster is not a single line', just after Yang Peng received the urgent report of the invasion of the Western Xia army, it was less than half a day, and there was an emergency military situation from Yangzhou, the imperial court Gao Hu and Cao Jun were marshals, leading 400,000 Song troops to kill the Yangtze River in the left and right, and the east route was led by Gao Hu out of Zhenjiang to attack Yangzhou, and the west road was led by Cao Jun out of Wuhu to attack Hezhou, the morale of the two armies was like a rainbow, and the battle situation was very unfavorable to the Yanyun army.

Yang Peng was very taken aback after receiving this report, he originally thought that the imperial court would not come to this troubled water, but he did not expect that the imperial court would suddenly send 400,000 troops, which was obviously an appointment with the Khitans and the Western Xia people. On the same day, although Wang Qinruo accepted Yang Peng's bribe, he still colluded with the Khitans behind his back, plotting to join forces to destroy Yanyun, and after the secret envoy of Liao brought the news of the Liao Xixia Alliance, Wang Qinruo was overjoyed, and then lobbied the emperor Zhao Heng with this, Zhao Heng was originally unwilling to quarrel with Yanyun again, but as soon as he heard that Liao and Xixia had formed an alliance to prepare to deal with Yan Yun together, that heart couldn't stop being alive again, plus Wang Qinruo fanned the flames from the side, Zhao Heng finally agreed to fight with Liao, The Western Xia united their plans against Yanyun and, following Wang Qinruo's advice, reactivated the previously deposed Gao Hu and Cao Jun. The two led the army, and Song Jun's performance was very different, which made Yan Yunjun feel the pressure he had never felt before.

Gao Hu's 200,000 troops pressed Yangzhou, and all kinds of heavy equipment were continuously transported to Yangzhou from the waterway, and the morale of the Song army was like a rainbow, and the war was about to break out.

That night, Gao Hu was sitting in front of the map thinking, and his own soldiers suddenly came in and reported: "Marshal Qiyu, a person came outside, saying that the marshal's relatives wanted to see the marshal." Gao Hu was surprised: Where do I have any relatives in Huainan?

Then I understood: it must be Yan Yun's secret envoy, and he wants to see me under this pretext. After hesitating for a moment, he said to his own soldiers, "Please let him in." The soldiers answered and ran down. Gao Hu walked to the handsome seat and sat down, waiting for this so-called relative, and couldn't help but think that he, Yang Yanzhao, and Yang Peng were drinking and talking happily to each other that day, which was really embarrassing!

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Gao Hu raised his head, only to see a tall, thin and thin scribe-looking guy following his own soldiers in. The pro-soldier hugged his fists and said: "Marshal, people have brought it." Gao Hu nodded, "You go down." The soldiers answered and withdrew.

I saw the tall and thin scribe clasping his fists and saying, "The villain Bai Tong has seen General Gao!" General Gao's prestige villain has been admired for a long time! ”

Gao Hu sneered and said, "What is this reputation compared to King Yan? ”

Bai Tong smiled and said with great admiration: "General Gao is really extraordinary, and you can see the origin of the next at a glance!" Gao Hu said: "This is nothing!" Don't talk nonsense, let's explain the intention! ”

Bai Tong Zhengse said: "General Gao is a hero, and my King Yan is also a hero!" Now my Yan Wang is leading Yanyun soldiers to fight with the Khitans and Xixia people to fight bloodily to recover Heshan, but General Gao is coming to copy my Yanyun's back road at this time! Wouldn't it be embarrassing to do this, the villain is very curious, how will General Gao face the ancestors of our Huaxia clan when he goes underground in the future? ”

Gao Hu frowned, "As a courtier, Your Majesty has a life, how dare I disobey?" Yan Yun, as a courtier, did not obey the holy order, was arrogant, and it was only natural for the court to send troops to crusade! ”

Bai Tong sneered: "In this case, that cowardly and incompetent imperial court lost the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, and caused hundreds of people to fall into the hands of aliens and become beasts, so it is also a matter of course?" ”

Gao Hu was speechless, and his heart was very confused.

Bai Tong continued: "This world is not the world of his Zhao family, nor is it the world of any family, but the world of the people of the world!" If it can be said that the world is the world of the Zhao family, then how should the Zhao family say that the world of the Chai family seized the world, and how should the world of the former Tang and Li families be said? Gao Hu is even more indefensible, if you paraphrase the saying that the Qin Dynasty lost its morality and lost the world, but it doesn't make sense here, then the orphans and widows of the Chai family were very pitiful, how could there be a little bit of immorality, why did Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, seize the country of the Chai family? In this way, isn't it that the country of Zhao and Song is very improper? And if you push it up like this, it will be inexplicable who the country belongs to! Gao Hu's head was a mess, and he couldn't figure out what was right and what was wrong, but in the end, it was the long-term loyalty education that prevailed, and he said in a deep voice: "Anyway, today's world should be the world of the Zhao family, and as a courtier, I must be loyal!" ”

Bai Tong frowned, "Could it be that General Gao completely disregarded the lives and deaths of the people of the Central Plains for the sake of this so-called 'loyalty'?" With all due respect, if loyalty to one king would plunge hundreds of people into the heat of water, it is better to be disloyal! ”

Gao Hu was startled, slapped the bookcase suddenly, and shouted: "Bold! ”

When the sergeant outside the tent heard Gao Hu's anger, he immediately rushed in and surrounded Bai Tong.

Bai Tong squinted at Gao Hu and sneered: "Could it be that General Gao wants to kill him?" Then he nodded and mocked, "That would show your loyalty!" ”

Gao Hu frowned and waved his hand, "All stand down!" The sergeants withdrew. Gao Hu stood up, walked in front of Bai Tong, looked at Bai Tong and said, "It's really hard to say the merits of this matter!" I, Gao Hu, am just a martial artist, and I can't understand those things, so I have to act according to the emperor's orders! Although I don't want to be the enemy of Yan Yunjun, but Huang is difficult to do, and I have nothing to do! After a pause, he hugged his fists and said: "On the battlefield in the future, if my Gao Hu dies at the hands of Yanyun soldiers, I will have no complaints!" Bai Tong sighed, hugged his fists and said: "Since this is the case, there is nothing to say, in the future, there will be life and death on the battlefield, the general take care!" He bowed, turned away, and sighed again when he reached the door.

Gao Hu followed out of the big tent, looking at Bai Tong's distant back, he was very confused, he didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong? I only joined the army, is it just to work for the Zhao family? Gao Hu was taken aback by this thought, quickly shook his head and put these rebellious thoughts behind, took a deep breath, and turned back to the big tent.

Turning his gaze back to Yanmen Pass, the two defense lines in the west and south are in critical condition, but at this moment Yang Peng can't care so much, his attention is now all on the Yanmen Pass in front of him, and he must take Yanmen Pass as soon as possible!

The agreed time finally came, Guo Tong, Chang Sheng, and Guo Tong led 10,000 troops to leave the barracks and go to Guanmen, these 10,000 soldiers and horses are Guo Tong's cronies, which is the so-called resentful army before, and it is also all the forces he can mobilize at the moment.

encountered several patrols along the way, but the patrol team was not suspicious, after all, Guo Tong was a deputy general, and it was very normal to mobilize the army.

Dozens of horsemen came in front of him, Guo Tong thought it was a patrol at first, but when he got closer, he found that it was his cronies and dozens of cavalry, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Hua Wei was very surprised to see that Guo Tong led nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to leave the barracks, so he stopped Guo Tong and them on the road and asked, "Where is General Guo going?" Hua Wei's behavior is very inappropriate, because Guo Tong, as the deputy general of Yanmen and his boss, not only did he not salute, but also openly blocked the way, which was a very rude move.

Guo Tong suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "I was ordered by the general to lead the army to guard the city wall. Hua Yi was even more strange, and glanced at the army behind Guo Tong, "There are enough troops on the city wall, why do you need to send troops?" Besides, I just met with the general not long ago, but I didn't hear him say that he had this order! ”

Guo Tong snorted coldly, "Hua Hao, don't be embarrassed!" I'm your boss, and it's unreasonable for you to openly stop me for questioning! Hua Yi was not afraid at all, and sneered: "Boss, only you think like this!" Then he pointed to the cavalry beside him, "Our Khitan warriors treat you as a green onion!" The cavalry burst out laughing, and their laughter was filled with contempt.

Guo Tong was angry up and down, Guo Tong saw that there was no one else on the street at this time, his eyes couldn't help showing a fierce color, and he waved his right hand violently: "Take it for me!" Hua Yi was taken aback when he saw hundreds of sergeants rushing forward, and then glared and shouted, "Bold! Stand down! ”

Hundreds of sergeants ignored him, and dozens of them were pulled off their horses one after another, twisting their hands and holding them. Seeing that Guo Tong dared to do it to herself, Hua Yi was shocked and angry, and scolded: "Xin Guo, you ****** impatient!" Guo Tong frowned and shouted, "Shut up their mouths for me!" All the sergeants took out dirty handkerchiefs from their bodies and rudely stuffed them into the mouths of Hua Yao and others, Hua Hao and the others immediately couldn't make a sound, only smelled a stench that rushed straight to their chest and abdomen, and almost fainted.

Guo Tong left the army on the street, and he and hundreds of sergeants dragged dozens of people into the dark alley next to him. At this moment, a patrol team came outside, said hello to Chang Sheng and Guo Tong, and continued to patrol, and they did not find anything unusual.

Guo Tong waited for the patrol to go away, so he walked up to Hua Xi and kicked him hard at the crotch of his pants. Hua Xi was in a cold sweat and glared at Guo Tong angrily. Guo Tong squatted down, patted Hua Yan's cheek, and said fiercely: "Do you want to take revenge on me?" But you don't stand a chance! As he spoke, he pulled out a dagger from his waist. Hua Wei felt Guo Tong's killing intent and was very surprised. Guo Yaoshi scolded: "****** Lao Tzu is fed up with you Khitan dogs!" As he spoke, he stabbed Hua Xi in the chest, Hua Yao's eyes widened in disbelief, and her body fell to one side, not breathing.

Guo Tong returned to the street, turned on his horse, and led the army straight towards the gate. After walking for a while, I saw that the lights were bright in front of me, and that was the most important gate of Yanmen Pass, at this time, the gate was lit with torches, and the night was illuminated into day, and I saw only the figure of people under the firelight, and I was afraid that there were not thousands of people guarding there.

Guo Tong secretly ordered his subordinates to prepare for battle, nearly 10,000 people slowly approached the gate, and many soldiers had secretly pulled out their weapons and mounted arrows.

A subordinate general under Han Chang, the general guarding the city gate, named Zhao Cheng, although he is a Han Chinese, but looking at his dress and bearing, he no longer looks like a Han person, and he is a Khitan general. Zhao Cheng was very surprised when he heard that Guo Tong had led a large number of troops to come, so he walked to the inside of the city wall, looked down by the battlements, and sure enough, he saw that there were crowds of people below, and he was afraid that there would be tens of thousands of people. At this time, Guo Tong raised his voice below: "General Zhao, we are ordered to take over the city defense!" ”

Zhao Cheng said in surprise: "I haven't received any orders!" ”

Guo Tongdao: "This is the order that the general just given!" ”

Although Zhao Cheng felt very sudden, he didn't think there was any problem, then Guo Tong was the deputy general of Yanmen, and his status was higher than himself, and the general replaced him to guard the gate, which could be regarded as strengthening the defense. As soon as he thought of this, he raised his voice and said: "Since it is the general's order, the last general should obey it!" Then he prepared to go down the city wall to hand over to Guo Tong.

But at this moment, Zhao Cheng suddenly saw that many people in Guo Yaoshi's army were unsheathed and arrows were wound, which made him very surprised, and he couldn't help but feel bad in his heart. So he stopped and raised his voice: "General Guo, the last general's duties are limited, and he can't leave his post without permission, please General Guo send the general's order!" Then he whispered to the officer next to him: "Tell everyone to get ready for battle!" The officer was stunned, answered, and ran down.

Guo Tong frowned and raised his voice: "Okay! You wait! ”

Zhao Cheng heard that the other party agreed so happily, and couldn't help but relax his vigilance, thinking that he was nervous just now!

Guo Tong suddenly pulled out his scimitar and swung it forward, shouting, "Do it!" The soldiers who had been preparing for a long time immediately launched, and the crossbowmen raised their hands and fired arrows at the opposite side, and then the pikemen and sword and shield men rushed towards the city gate and the city gate respectively under the leadership of Chang Sheng and Guo Tong.

Although Zhao Cheng was prepared, he was still caught off guard, and in a big shock, he ordered his subordinates to resist while ordering someone to ring the alarm bell, and the alarm bell rang for a long time, breaking the silence of Yanmen Pass.

The rebels rushed and fought, and the Khitan army could not resist the defeat and retreat, and finally failed to hold the city gate and fled. Guo Tong hurriedly asked the door to be opened. But at this moment, there was a rumbling footstep in the city pass, and I followed the prestige, only to see the general Han Chang leading the soldiers and horses to kill this side, the torches flashed brightly, and there were only shadows and shadows under the firelight, as if there were infinite people and horses! Guo Tong was taken aback, and hurriedly sent a signal to the outside of the pass, and then ordered the whole army to turn around and line up to prepare for battle.

Before the rebels were ready, there was a dense whistling sound in the air, and then it was like a storm blowing, blowing the torches and swaying, and many rebel soldiers were shot to the ground, and for a time the screams rang out.

The rebel soldiers were terrified, and before they could engage in battle, their morale was already shaken.

At this time, I only heard the whining horn sound from the Khitan army, and then the earth trembled, and I saw nearly a thousand battle horsemen wielding scimitars and roaring and rushing, like a tide! The faces of the rebel soldiers changed, and Guo Tong shouted at the top of his voice: "Release the arrow!" The crossbowmen above and below the gate fired arrows together, and I saw many of the horsemen fall to the ground, but the momentum of the other party's charge became even more ferocious! Before the rebels could fire a second arrow, the wave of iron cavalry had already arrived, and in an instant, the rebel defense line was smashed to pieces, trampled by iron hooves, slashed with scimitars, and the rebel soldiers were killed in a crooked manner, and they were about to be unable to resist. Guo Tong saw that the Jin army was coming fiercely, and he was terrified, so he wanted to abandon the door and flee.

Boom, boom, boom, boom......! At the moment when Guo Tong wanted to escape, a thunderous sound suddenly came from behind him. At first, he was stunned, and quickly turned his head to look, and his face showed a look of surprise, only to see that in the dark night, countless black ironclad warriors were surging, obviously the most elite formation-breaking iron cavalry in the Yanyun Army, and the leading three generals were Yang Peng, Zhan Jinguo and Huyan Chijin!

Guo Tong was overjoyed, turned his head and shouted, "Yan Yunjun is here!" Brothers, hold it off for me! ”

When the rebels saw the Yanyun army coming up, their morale was greatly boosted, and they immediately desperately resisted the offensive of the Khitan army, the crossbowmen fired arrows, the shield bearers protected, and the pikemen waited for the opportunity to knock the Khitan army's war horses to the ground. For a while, it was incomprehensible!

Han saw this scene, frowned, and ordered the heavy infantry to rush forward. As soon as the order was issued, I suddenly saw countless majestic and fierce war horses pouring in at the gate of the city, it was Yan Yun's most elite array-breaking iron horse, and Yan Wang Yang Peng actually took the lead, and the two fierce generals on the left and right were Zhan Jin Guo and Huyan Chijin! When the soldiers of the Khitan army saw this scene, they were all taken aback, and before they could react, Yan Yun had already killed the Khitan army war cavalry near the city gate, and the momentum was unabated, and they went straight to Han Chang's large army!

Han Chang didn't have time to line up at all, so he hurriedly ordered all the heavy infantry to meet him, and at the same time ordered the other troops to retreat and line up!

More than 5,000 heavy armored infantry of the Khitan army roared to meet them, and under the light of the torches, they saw a cold light, like a sparkling wave under the moon. Yang Peng, Yang Dezheng, and Huyan Chijin were the first to kill in the middle of the enemy army, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and the three weapons flew up and down, killing the enemy's corpses and flying blood, and then the iron cavalry that rushed up to break the formation was also very fierce, countless maces were fluttering, and I saw that the heavy infantry of the Khitan army were smashed to the ground!

Before Han Chang's large army had completely set up the formation, seeing that the heavy infantry in front of him had been completely defeated, he was shocked and shouted at the top of his voice: "Release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! ”

The Khitan army crossbowmen hurriedly released their arrows, and the strong arrow rain fell like the middle of the Yanyun army, crackling loudly, and at the same time the sparks flew wildly, but none of the Yanyun army fell, and the Khitan army's bow and crossbow had no effect on the formation-breaking iron cavalry wearing Xuantian battle armor!

Zhan Jin took the lead in breaking through the Khitan army's defense line and killing the enemy, and a pair of hammers flew like windmills, smashing the Khitan soldiers and soldiers with flesh and blood, and the entire battle array was alarmed! At this moment, Yang Peng and Huyan Chijin led the iron cavalry to kill, and the stormy ironclad cavalry tore apart the Khitan army's defense line like a stormy wave, and the iron cavalry rushed forward, and the weapons were whistling and flying, only to kill the Khitan army soldiers and soldiers who couldn't turn over and retreat.

However, the terrain on the streets was narrow after all, and there were many Khitan troops crowded on the streets, and although the power of the Iron Cavalry was amazing, the speed finally stopped. Han saw that the impact of the other party was finally unloaded, and he was very excited, and shouted and ordered all the troops to come forward and surround and kill the enemy! The Khitan army rushed up with a shout, and the Yanyun army fell into a tragic melee! Yan Yunjun struggled to wield his mace, and in the heavy whistling sound, he saw that one by one the soldiers of the Khitan Army were blown up and fell to the ground with their heads broken and bleeding.

Several lifeless Khitan soldiers poked a broken formation iron cavalry from one side with a spear at the same time, and the broken formation iron cavalry was wearing a Xuantian battle armor with a double-layer plate armor structure, so he was not injured, but he was pushed off the horse by this huge force, and he didn't have time to get up, countless spears and scimitars were killed in all directions, only to hear a sonorous bang, splashing countless sparks, but he couldn't hurt him at all, he came back, roared angrily, and waved his mace at the same time, and forced the surrounding Khitan soldiers to retreat, Immediately, I saw him pounce on the Khitan army in front of him like a mad tiger, the Khitan army was shocked when he saw the ferocity of his coming, and couldn't help but take a step back, the formation-breaking iron horse roared angrily, raised his mace and smashed it down, a Khitan soldier couldn't dodge, was hit in the chest, screamed and spurted blood and fell to the ground.

On the other side, Yang Peng wielded an iron horse lance and constantly provoked and killed the enemy. At this moment, the sound of hurried horses' hooves suddenly came from one side. Yang Peng realized that someone was sneaking up, and immediately turned his horse's head, and sure enough, he saw an enemy general riding his horse and shooting him, only five or six steps away. In the blink of an eye, the spear bento in the enemy's hand stabbed in the chest, and Yang Peng gently snatched it sideways. The two horses intersected, Yang Peng stretched out his left hand and grabbed the man's neck, and actually lifted him over, and the surrounding enemy troops couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this.

The enemy general struggled endlessly, Yang Peng frowned, threw him to the ground, followed by a horse lance to pierce his chest, and then struggled to pick his body out, and fell straight into the enemy bushes in the distance.

Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, the horns of the Khitan army came one after another, only to see the city walls, streets and alleys on both sides, and on the streets in front, the torches were shining brightly, and countless enemy troops were coming!

Seeing this scene, Pharmacist Guo, who was guarding the city gate, couldn't help but panic! Yang Peng turned his horse's head to fight his way out of the encirclement and galloped towards the city gate, and other soldiers also turned their horse's head to fight their way out of the encirclement and followed Yang Peng.

Han Chang thought that Yang Peng and the others were going to escape, and in his excitement, the soldiers under his command chased after him. Yang Peng and the others rushed to the city gate, Yang Peng raised the iron horse lance, and thousands of iron horsemen who broke the formation immediately stopped. Yang Peng turned the horse's head, and all the soldiers also turned the horse's head. Yang Peng glanced at the approaching fires on the streets on both sides, and ordered Zhan Jin Guo and Huyan Chijin: "You two will lead a thousand iron cavalry to block the enemy troops on the left and right streets!" The two of them agreed, and then led a thousand iron cavalry to meet the Jin army that was rushing on the streets on the left and right.

Yang Peng looked at the Khitan troops on the city walls on both sides, and said to Guo Tong: "The enemy army on the city wall will be handed over to you, be sure to hold it until my large army arrives!" Guo Tong hugged his fists and promised, and then personally led people up to the city wall. Yang Peng moved his gaze to the enemy army in front of him, and saw that Han Chang and other generals were leading tens of thousands of soldiers and horses rushing in, with a fierce momentum.

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