Chapter 277, will be counted.
Zhou Dayong said: "Now that we have successfully occupied Yanmen Pass and defeated the Khitan army, can we free up our hands?" The generals nodded one after another, and they all looked very relaxed. Han Bing glanced at Yang Peng and said to the generals: "It's not that simple!" Although the Khitan army suffered heavy losses, it was still able to mobilize 500,000 troops to attack, and that Yayu Guanyin was by no means a person who easily admitted defeat, and would definitely continue to move south! Yang Jing said indifferently: "Come on, come on, I haven't killed enough!" Then he said: "We also have more than 400,000 troops here, are you afraid that they will not succeed!" ”
Yang Peng said with a smile: "In this case, wouldn't it be that the troops will be pinned down and unable to support other directions?" Yang Jing snorted and picked his head, "This, what about this?" ”
Yang Peng smiled and thought about it. At this moment, a scout followed a hidden killer into the lobby, and the secret guard reported: "King Yan, scout returns!" All eyes were on them. The scout stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and reported: "King Qiyan, the princess of Liao, Ye Yu Guanyin, has led an army of 500,000 to Langya Village, and it is only seventy miles away from Yanmen Pass!" ”
Everyone was a little surprised, and Xingfang frowned and said, "It's so fast!" Then everyone looked at Yang Peng, waiting for his decision. At this moment, Wang Kai rushed in, held up a letter in both hands and said, "King Yan, there is news from the south!" Yang Jiumei immediately came over to get the letter and forwarded it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng continued the letter, opened it, took out the letter, opened it quickly, and read it again. Everyone looked at Yang Peng, but they didn't dare to make a sound, and they were very curious.
When Han Bing led the Yanyun cavalry into the barracks, the unprepared soldiers were so frightened that they were scurrying, while the officers were still drinking and gambling in the big tent, until a soldier stumbled in and shouted, 'The enemy has come in', and these officers didn't react for a while. Immediately, only the sound of horses' hooves outside the tent was like thunder, and the shouts and screams rang out, and the officers were shocked, and hurriedly grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the tent. Seeing countless war horses rushing through the camp as if they were in a no-man's land, they couldn't help but be frightened, and they didn't dare to face the battle, so they hurriedly mounted their horses, turned around and ran.
Han Bing and the others destroyed a Song army camp in the road without much effort, and then galloped towards Yangzhou City, where the outline was already faintly visible in the distance. The city of Yangzhou is located on the canal, and now it is surrounded by the military camps of the Song army on all sides, and it has become a lonely city.
In the barracks of the Song army, the sound of alarm horns and gongs and drums came and went, and at the same time, I saw crowds of people in each barracks. Soon after, a cavalry unit of two or three thousand Song troops came straight from the right and tried to cut off the Yan Yun army. Han Bing smiled coldly, raised his right hand and drew a half-circle in mid-air, and then pointed sharply to the right. The 10,000 Yanyun cavalry turned around and turned to the right at the same time as if they were a person, and killed the cavalry of the Song army. In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the two sides collided fiercely together, the iron hooves rushed, the long knives slashed and slashed, and in the rumbling horse hooves, only the thrilling roars and screams were heard, and the Song army war cavalry turned over on their backs.
The cavalry of the Song army could not resist the wild offensive of Yanyun's war cavalry and was defeated. Han Bing did not chase and kill, but turned around and ran towards Yangzhou. At this time, there have been two Song army battle formations in front, the shield is like a wall, the spear is like a forest, it is very rigorous, there are at least 30,000 soldiers and horses in the two military formations, and one of the military formations has erected the battle flag of the word 'high', and the horizontal spear under the battle flag immediately carries a very powerful general, which is Gao Hu.
Han Bing raised his right hand, and Yan Yunjun slowly stopped, completely stopping more than three hundred steps away from the Song army's formation.
The soldiers of the Yanyun Army on the city wall had already seen their own troops coming outside the city, and their morale couldn't help but be greatly boosted. Duan Zhixian said loudly: "It's General Han Bing!" Then he said to Cheng Shijie: "Cheng Shijie guards the city, I will lead the army out to meet them!" Cheng Shijie nodded, but Dunan grabbed Duan Zhixian's palm and shouted, "No, no!" Duan Zhixian turned his head and glared at him: "Let your mother's bullshit!" What is a must-have! Let go! Dunant said angrily: "If you go out of the city, you will fall for the enemy's tricks!" Duan Zhixian was stunned.
Dunan pointed to the Song army camps on the right and left, and a large number of troops had clearly gathered in those camps, but strangely none of them came out, "You see that in the military camps on both sides, it is clear that a large number of Song troops are ready, but why don't they come out?" Duan Zhixian and Cheng Shijie looked at both sides, and when they saw that this was the case, they also felt very strange, and Lu Zhishen asked, "Why is this?" ”
Dunant snorted coldly, "Hmph, it's not like you want to wait for our army to go out of the city and completely annihilate my army out of the city in one go!" He pointed to the Song army's military formation of about 20,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, "If my expectations are correct, after Brother Duan leads the army out of the city to attack them, they will definitely retreat immediately, and when Brother Duan and them are in a fierce battle, the Song army on the left and right sides will suddenly come out to cut off our army's rear road and besiege our army!" In that case, except for Brother Duan, everyone else is afraid that it will be difficult to break out of the encirclement! ”
Duan Zhixian and Cheng Shijie were shocked. Duan Zhixian frowned, and said loudly: "Even so, I can't help but support General Han Bing, a manly man, seeing a female generation fighting with the enemy, but not coming out of the city, what kind of thing!" In that case, the Sprinkle family might as well be killed by a headlong crash! So saying, he went down.
Dunan hugged Duan Zhixian vigorously and shouted, "You can't mess around!" ”
Duan Zhixian was furious, stretched out his right hand, grabbed Dunan's back collar, lifted him into the air, and glared: "You ****** less wordy!" Dunan hung in the air, and he would inevitably be frightened if he was in normal times, but at this moment, he was anxious, completely forgetting his situation, and glared at Duan Zhixian's angry face without fear and shouted: "You are going to die, be a man, no one can control you!" But if you bury Brother Yanwang's army in vain and lose Yangzhou City, you won't be able to explain to Brother Yan Wang even if you die! ”
Duan Zhixian's heart was shocked, and his right hand holding Dunan couldn't help but loosen, and Dunan, who was in the white sky, immediately fell. Dunant suddenly realized his situation, and his face changed drastically, ah! Before he screamed halfway, his fat body made intimate contact with the floor, and there was a muffled sound. Cheng Shijie hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. Dunan fell and his nose was bruised, his face was swollen, his nose was bleeding, he was very embarrassed, he covered his nose with one hand and gasped in pain, and a pair of goldfish-like eyes glared at the culprit Duan Zhixian in great annoyance.
Seeing this, Duan Zhixian couldn't help laughing, and then hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I didn't expect ......" Dunan covered his nose and said angrily: "It's not a big deal if I fall, but Brother Duan is definitely not allowed to go out of the city!" ”
Duan Zhixian frowned. Cheng Shijie said: "Dunan is right, we can't be rash!" Duan Zhixian glanced at Han Bing in the distance, frowned, and said, "Could it be that we just watch General Han Bing fight alone?" She's not just a woman, she's our sister-in-law! ”
Dunan put his hand down, looked at Han Bing in the distance, and said seriously: "General Han Bing is both wise and brave, and he will never recklessly want to break the enemy's blockade with these ten thousand war horses!" She did this for two purposes, one to tell us that reinforcements were coming, and the other to test the enemy's reality. You see, if my expectations are correct, General Han Bing will soon retreat! Duan Zhixian and Cheng Shijie both felt that what he said was very reasonable, but they still couldn't stop worrying about Han Bing in their hearts.
Gao Hu saw from a distance in the military formation that the leading general of the Yanyun Army turned out to be Han Bing, whom he had been thinking about day and night, and couldn't help but feel agitated, so he rode out of the military formation, came between the two armies, and shouted: "Miss Han Bing! ……”
Han Bing frowned slightly, and also rode out, and came to the distance between the two armies, only five or six steps away from Gao Hu, and hugged his fists and said, "General Gao, don't come unharmed?" Gao Hu looked at this peerless beauty who was close at hand, and he was so excited that he couldn't help but say: "It's been a few days since I was separated from Miss Han Bing!" Miss Han Bing is becoming more and more heroic! ”
Han Bing's face turned slightly red, frowned, and asked, "General Gao, I don't know why you can't get along with our Yanyun?" Now that my main force of Yanyun is fighting a fierce battle with the Khitans and the Western Xia people, wouldn't it be chilling for the general to do this? ”
Gao Hu felt a little ashamed, "This is not what I want, but as a minister, the king's order cannot be violated, and I am helpless!" Han Bing said coldly: "For the sake of a Zhao Song, is General Gao willing to see the alien race once again wreak havoc on the Central Plains?" ”
Gao Hu couldn't help but be very confused, "This, I don't know!" I don't want to see alien races wreak havoc on the Central Plains again, but, but His Majesty the Emperor ordered me to crusade against Yanyun, how could I disobey the Holy Order? Han Bing sneered: "What a loyal house slave!" Gao Hu's face changed, "Why did Miss Han Bing say that?" ”
Han Bing said sarcastically, "Isn't it? For the sake of the Zhao family, you don't care about anything, don't care about the land of your ancestors, don't care about right and wrong, don't care about thousands of Han people! Isn't this a house slave? ”
Gao Hu retorted wordlessly, his heart was extremely confused, and he couldn't help but have doubts about what he had been sticking to. Han Bing saw that his words had an effect, so he hit the railroad while it was hot: "General Gao is a hero of the world, and he should fight for my Huaxia clan!" For the sake of a corrupt and incompetent Zhao family, in the end, he can only be ruined! General Gao should wake up early and stand with me Yanyun! ”
Gao Hu lowered his head and was silent for a long time, but finally shook his head. When Han Bing saw this scene, he was disappointed. Gao Hu raised his head and looked at Han Bing, "What Miss Han Bing said may or may not be right!" I, Gao Hu, am just a martial artist, and I can't figure out who is right and who is wrong. Let's just be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor! After a pause, "I originally wanted to persuade Miss Han Bing to submit to the imperial court, but after listening to Miss Han Bing's words, I know that no matter what I say, it is useless!" ”
Han Bing said proudly: "Of course! How could I serve that bullshit court! Gao Hu sighed, "Although I am very unwilling, we can only divide the victory and defeat on the battlefield!" Han Bing smiled and said, "General Gao may still be counting on the Khitans or the Western Xia people to break into my Yanyun hinterland, right?" I can tell you, don't dream, not long ago, the eldest brother's handsome Yanyun main force broke through Yanmen Pass and annihilated the 200,000 gold army in Yanmen Pass! ......" Gao Hu was shocked, but then nodded with a smile: "Good job, worthy of the Yan King of the world!" It really makes me wait to raise my eyebrows! ”
Han Bing said proudly: "Of course! Big brother, he's the greatest hero in the world! Gao Hu saw that Han Bing admired Yang Peng so much, although he had known it for a long time, he still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart.
Han Bing said to Gao Hu: "My Yanyun main force will arrive soon, General Gao asked himself if it is the opponent of my Yanyun main force?" Gao Hu suddenly felt an inexplicable impulse in his heart, and said coldly: "Gao doesn't believe that Yan Yunjun is really invincible in the world!" Han Bing stared at Gao Hu for a moment, nodded, and sighed, "Okay, let's split the victory and defeat on the battlefield!" Chao Gaohu hugged his fist, "Take care!" Gao Hu also hugged his fists and said: "Miss take care!" Han Bing turned his horse's head, ran back, and then led his army to turn one hundred and eighty degrees and retreat towards the north.
In the dead of night, a cronie general under Gao Hu came in with a black cloak, hugged his fists and said, "Dashuai, Gongzi Zhou is here." The black cloak took off the hood on his head, revealing a high-flying and handsome face, which turned out to be the son of Zhou Xian, the prefect of Yangzhou, Zhou Lu. Zhou Lu hugged his fists and bowed: "I've seen the handsome!" ”
Gao Hu praised: "Gongzi Zhou and Master Zhou understand the righteousness and are willing to help Master Wang, I am very pleased!" Zhou Lu said: "The villain and his father have been waiting for this day for a long time!" Hmph, that Yang Peng, as a courtier, dared to rebel and make trouble, and those with a little conscience will definitely stand out with him! ”
Gao Hu nodded and asked, "It seems that you have already decided?" Zhou Lu nodded, "It's decided!" After a pause, "I just wonder if His Majesty's edict has come down?" Gao Hu turned around and walked to the front of the handsome case, picked up a yellow scroll of holy decrees, and handed it to Zhou Lu, "This is the edict that His Majesty just sent someone, Zhou Gongzi can take a look at it first." "Zhou Lu hurriedly took the edict, opened it, looked at it, and saw that it was written, 'After Yangzhou is recovered, Zhou Xian will be enshrined as the envoy of the two Huai Xuanfu, and Zhou Lu will be the prefect of Yangzhou, and he will be here.' The emperor's imperial treasure was stamped on the holy decree, and there is absolutely no doubt about it. Zhou Lu was overjoyed, and hurriedly returned the holy decree to Gao Hu with both hands. Gao Hu took the holy decree and asked with a smile, "Zhou Gongzi is not worried now, right?" ”
Zhou Lu hurriedly said: "No! The villain and his father will do their best to wish Wang Shi to recover Yangzhou and even the whole of Huainan! Gao Hu nodded and asked, "Have you considered what I told you before?" "It's been thought about. My father and I had about 600 people in the house, and with the government officials in the house, we had about 1,200 people in total. In the middle of the night, you can definitely take down a city gate, and you can rest assured. ”
Gao Hu nodded, "Very good." Now that you've decided, without further ado, the time for action is set for midnight tomorrow. As soon as you succeed, light three fires as a signal, and I will immediately lead a large army into the city. ”
Zhou Lu hugged his fists and said, "Yes." Gao Hu advised: "Be cautious in this matter, and don't leak the news before acting, otherwise I'm afraid it will fall short!" Zhou Lu said with a smile: "Although the handsome man can rest assured, it is absolutely foolproof!" Han Shizhong nodded.
Zhou Lu clenched his fists and said: "Dashuai, if there is nothing else to order, the villain will retire." Gao Hu hugged his fists and said: "Childe is easy to walk, pay attention to safety on the road." Zhou Lu answered, put on a hood, and turned to leave.
Zhou Lu came out of the Song army camp and joined an entourage guarding outside the gate, and then the two of them turned on their horses and quickly ran towards the remote southwest corner of Yangzhou City. When they arrived at the city wall, the two turned over and dismounted, Zhou Lu asked his entourage to lead the horse to the farmhouse outside the city, and he came to the city wall, looked at it for a while, and then learned to call the cuckoo.
After Zhou Lu learned that the cuckoo cuckoo cried, he immediately threw down the rope on the city wall. Zhou Lu immediately climbed up along the rope. When he came to the city wall, he saw an officer standing in front of him. Zhou Lu took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the officer, hugged his fists and said, "It's really hard!" The officer shook the silver ingot and said with a smile: "Childe is polite to me!" Then he put the silver ingot into his arms and said to Zhou Lu: "Childe come with me to change into a military uniform." The people on the stairs on the other side have been transferred away by me, and Childe leaves from there. As he spoke, he pointed to a staircase of the city wall not far away, which was lit only by a torch, and it was very dim, and there was no one at the moment.
Zhou Lu nodded, followed the officer to impress the dark place, and then took off his coat with the help of the officer, and changed into a set of Yanyun Army armor that the officer had prepared for him a long time ago. Then Zhou Lu descended the city wall ladder from the city wall, and returned home without encountering any obstacles along the way.
Although it was very late, Zhou Xian did not rest, Zhou Lu sneaked out of the city, where could he sleep. The butler hurried over and said, "Childe is back!" Zhou Xian hurriedly turned around, and saw Zhou Lu, who was dressed as a sergeant of the Yanyun Army, walking into the door and immediately stepped forward.
"Father!" Zhou Lu bowed with joy on his face. Zhou Xian saw his son like this, and immediately guessed that things must be going very well, "What, what did Gao Hu say?" Zhou Lu said with a smile: "The holy decree has come down, I have seen it with my own eyes, the holy decree said that once Yangzhou is recovered, I will be crowned as the pacification envoy of the two Huai, and I will be the prefect of Yangzhou." ......" Zhou Xian was overjoyed, "Okay, good!" That's great! Excited, he couldn't help pacing back and forth, while saying: "Since the court does not live up to me, I will not live up to the court!" ”
Zhou Lu said: "Gao Hu said that we want to act at midnight tomorrow, and after successfully seizing the city gate, we will immediately light three fires as a signal, and Gao Hu will immediately lead the army into the city to destroy the Yanyun army!" ”
Zhou Xian stopped pacing and frowned, "I'm just worried about whether our people can successfully capture the city gate?" That Yan Yunjun is not a vegetarian, and even the Khitans are not their opponents! Zhou Lu smiled confidently: "Father don't worry, this matter is foolproof!" I've figured it out that the garrison at the West Gate is the weakest, with only 500 people guarding at night, and more than 1,200 of us are enough to deal with! Besides, one of the important officers has been bribed by me, and we have only two or three hundred men to deal with! Zhou Xian nodded, "Then I'll rest assured!" ”
It was already the middle of the night, and Gao Hu led 60,000 elites to quietly come to the West City Gate and wait. Gao Hu rode on his war horse and looked at the west gate in the distance, only to see many torches lit on the city wall, and under the reflection of the firelight, there were many defenders. Gao Hu couldn't help but worry, worried about whether the Zhou family's father and son would be able to take the West City Gate as promised.
After waiting for about half an hour, I suddenly saw the figures on the city wall shaking, and then the soldiers who were standing on the city wall were all gone, and I felt as if I had been touched by someone. Gao Hu frowned, and couldn't help but get nervous, success or failure was in one fell swoop.
After a few more moments, a bright light came out of the dark doorway, and then three fires were lit in front of the gate. Gao Hu was overjoyed, immediately pulled out his sword, and raised his voice: "Rush me!" ”
The general Ma Buyou led 5,000 foot soldiers as the vanguard and rushed forward first, followed by Gao Hu with tens of thousands of troops. The footsteps were loud, and they were so clear in the silence of the night that they could be heard from more than a dozen miles away.
Ma Buyou led 5,000 infantry troops to surge, and then Gao Hu led the main force to the city gate. Gao Hu glanced up at the city wall, and saw that there were no people on the city wall, and he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart: Since the father and son of the Zhou family have opened the city gate, they should stand on the city head, even if the two of them are not on the city head, there are always people under them, how can there be no one?
Gao Hu was shocked, hurriedly reined in the war horse, and shouted urgently: "Retreat immediately!" Tell General Ma Buyou to retreat! The officer next to him was puzzled, answered, and rode towards the city gate.
At this moment, a trumpet suddenly exploded in the night sky, and countless Yanyun soldiers suddenly appeared on the city wall where there was no half of a person, and at the same time, the iron gate on the city gate fell suddenly, and the five thousand infantry troops of Ma Buyou's department who had entered the urn city were all locked up in the urn city.
The Song army was shocked, and when they were at a loss, they saw that the bullets on the city wall were like flying locusts, and the Song troops who were caught off guard outside the city were shot one after another; At the same time, in the urn city, bullets rained down from all sides, rolling stones and wood hailstones, and the five thousand Song troops could not escape, and there was no escape, and they died on the spot one by one, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere!
Gao Hu was furious and waved his army to storm the city gate, but they originally planned to come to attack secretly, and there were no heavy siege equipment at all, where could they attack it, but they suffered heavy losses under the dense rain of arrows.
After a cup of tea, Weng City had been quiet, Ma Bufang and his 5,000 infantry army were all wiped out, and the corpses were filled with urn city, like a slaughterhouse, it was really miserable, and several seriously injured and not dead sergeants crawled with difficulty in the blood and water of the corpses, trying to escape.
Gao Hu saw that the army in the urn city had been completely wiped out, and knew that if he continued to fight, he would not gain anything except increase casualties, so he could only withdraw his troops in pain! The Yanyun army in the city saw that although the Gao Hu army retreated, it was in good order and did not mess at all, so they did not go out of the city to pursue.
Gao Hu returned to the big tent, angrily kicked over the desk, and scolded: "**** Zhou Xian! actually conspired with Yan Yunjun to set such a trap for me! If I catch him, I will break him to pieces! The generals standing behind Gao Hu were also very excited.
Gao Hu and they really blamed Zhou Xian's father and son, they didn't conspire with Yan Yunjun. At this time, Zhou Xian's father and son and more than 20 cronies of the two were kneeling in the lobby of the Yangzhou Governance Office, all of them were terrified to the extreme, and the surrounding Yanyun Army sergeants were eyeing each other, and Duan Zhixian, who was full of smug faces, and Du Nan, a fat man with a belly of ghost ideas, stood at the top.
Duan Zhixian patted his bald head and laughed: "The **** thing actually plays this trick with me, it's just looking for death!" ”
Zhou Xian hurriedly begged for mercy: "General, the general spares his life!" Villain, how dare the villain rebel, it's all, it's all done by the little kid and the villain! Zhou Lu saw that his father had retreated everything to his head, and he was furious, and said urgently: "It's clear that you are the mastermind, why do you want to put the responsibility on me!" Zhou Xian turned his head and glared: "If you say it's you, it's you!" I am your father, how dare you argue with me, it is really unfilial! Zhou Lu was on the front line of life and death, where could he still take care of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, and said loudly to Duan Zhixian and Du Nan: "General, my lord, you have a good idea!" The villain is just a person who has no duties and no powers, where can he do this kind of thing, if it is not Zhou Xian's mastermind, I wouldn't dare to give the villain a hundred dares! ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
