Chapter 338, the whole army was annihilated

Yang Erya blushed and said urgently: "I didn't mean that!" Actually, in fact, the credit of me and my ninth sister is secondary! Big brother, you don't know, the reason why I did this is all because of Sister Han Bing's advice! Yang Peng was stunned, and Yang Jiumei was also a little surprised. Yang Erya explained: "Before I returned to Datong Mansion, Sister Hongyu came to me and told me about this matter alone! She said that Yanmen Pass is a weakness of our army, and she is afraid that the Khitan army will raid there, and if something like that happens, the consequences will be unimaginable! She asked me to escort the money and grain back to Yanmen Pass and stay for a period of time to take strict precautions. It is precisely because of Sister Han Bing's entrustment that I will do those things after I come to Yanmen Pass! Therefore, in the final analysis, the biggest contributor to thwarting the enemy's conspiracy is actually Sister Han Bing! ”

Yang Peng lowered his head and pondered: "Hey, why didn't you just say it to me? Yes, I'm on the rise, you're afraid of sweeping my excitement, you're afraid I'll be angry! As soon as I thought of this, thousands of soft threads could not help but rise in my heart. glanced at the two women and smiled: "You guys, don't push each other!" You are all good wives of the eldest brother, if it weren't for you, the eldest brother would be embarrassed this time! ”

Yang Erya blushed and said, "We, we are the wives of the eldest brother, we should do these things, and there is nothing to say!" Yang Jiumei nodded sympathetically. Yang Peng didn't know what words to use to express his love and gratitude to them, so he could only hold their slender hands tightly, and the two girls looked at him gently, and he was the only one in his eyes.

Turning her gaze to the other side, Li Qingxia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the civil strife in Liao had been dramatically resolved, and then she resigned to the Empress Dowager and rushed back to Western Xia, hoping to urge her father to send troops as soon as possible to help Liao deal with Yanyun. At noon that day, they arrived outside the city of Dezhou, and saw the chaos in the city of Dezhou from a distance, and couldn't help but be surprised, Li Qingxia frowned and said: "Could it be that Daozhou was actually broken by the Yanyun army?" "Li Qingxia and others have been in a hurry, so they don't know the specific situation of Xijing Road at present.

One of the accompanying cronies pleaded: "My subordinates go and investigate!" Li Qingxia nodded. The cronie turned his horse's head and galloped away with a whip. Li Qingxia and the others waited in place, and they didn't dare to get off their horses to rest, for fear that they would suddenly encounter Yan Yunjun, in that case, they could immediately ride their horses and flee for their lives.

Everyone waited in a restless mood for a long time, only to see a few horses galloping over, the first person was the cronie who had just gone to inquire about the news, and the few people who followed behind him should be the staff officials and officials of the local government office of the Liao State.

Several people rushed to Li Qingxia and restrained their horses. The cronie hurriedly said to Li Qingxia: "Princess, not long ago, the Yanyun army captured Texas!" Li Qingxia was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Is Yan Yunjun in Dezhou City?" The cronies shook their heads, "No, they had already withdrawn a few days ago!" Then he pointed to a few Liao officials who followed him, "They are all staff and servants of the Dezhou Mansion, and they know the specific situation!" Li Qingxia looked at those people, and those people made a chest salute together: "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Li Qingxia said: "No need to be polite! I just rushed from Zhongjing, and I don't know the specific situation here, so please let me know! ”

Several officials hurriedly humbled themselves, and one of them, the chubby middle-aged official, said: "Princess Huiyu, just as this lord said, not long ago, our Texas was captured by the Yanyun army, but they had already withdrawn two days ago. According to the news obtained by the lower officials, Datong Mansion has been captured," Li Qingxia suddenly heard the news, was shocked, and said in disbelief: "Datong Mansion has a high city and wide rivers, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses to garrison, how could it be captured so quickly?" The official shook his head, "I don't know the specific subordinates, I only know that Datong Mansion has fallen, and I also know that Lord Yelu Longqing's 100,000 troops and General Xiao Dalu's 100,000 troops have all been wiped out!" ”

Li Qingxia frowned tightly and glanced at the official, "What else is the news?" ”

The official said: "This morning, I heard from an officer who fled from the south that General Xiao Loumur's 100,000 cavalry had suffered a setback on the east bank of the Yuhe River and was retreating sharply! ”

Li Qingxia's mood was extremely depressed, she didn't expect to hear a few such bad news one after another, the main force of the Xijing Road of the Liao State seemed to be all finished, Yan Yun seized the Datong Mansion and annihilated the defenders of the Xijing Road of the Liao State, which not only seriously hit the morale of the government and the opposition of the Liao State, but also drove a sharp wedge into the Xijing Road! The situation is very favorable to Yan Yun, but it is very unfavorable to Liao!

But on second thought, 'Maybe that's not a bad thing. If Yanyun hadn't captured Datong Mansion, the determination of the Liao State and Yanyun to fight a decisive battle would not be very strong, but now it is different, Datong Mansion is lost, Xijing Road is in danger, I am afraid that even the Zhongjing Road and Shangjing Road will no longer feel safe! The Khitans had no way to retreat, so they could only fight hard! The two of them are working hard in Xijing Road, and we have a chance to take advantage of Xixia! At this thought, Li Qingxia couldn't help but get excited.

He raised his head and glanced at the officials of the Liao State in front of him, and said, "Thank you for telling me this." Several people hurriedly humbled themselves, and the fat official said, "Your Royal Highness, if there is nothing else to order, we will leave!" Li Qingxia nodded, and suddenly something sounded, and asked, "Since Yan Yunjun has given up Texas, why is Texas so chaotic?" The fat official sighed, "Our chiefs all surrendered to Yan Yun when the city was broken, and now that Yan Yunjun is gone, they are worried about being sanctioned by the imperial court, so they naturally followed, so Texas has become a leaderless situation, and those scoundrels and bandits and robbers took the opportunity to burn and loot, and now Texas is simply a hell!" Your Royal Highness the Princess, you have golden branches and jade leaves, but don't enter the city! Li Qingxia nodded. The fat official bowed to Li Qingxia, then turned his horse's head and galloped towards the north, followed by several other officials.

Li Qingxia instructed his subordinates; "Let's bypass Texas and rush back to China as soon as possible!" Everyone agreed in unison.

Turning his gaze back to Datong Mansion, the Yanyun army was ready, just waiting for the main force of the Khitan army to arrive. The focus of Yanyun's defense is naturally Datong Mansion, but heavy troops have also been deployed on Baishan Mountain and Yanmen Pass, and Datong Mansion City has become a corner. The guard of Datong Mansion is Cao Jun, with 100,000 soldiers and horses, the guard of Baishan Mountain is Li Xu, with 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Yang Peng personally commands 120,000 troops to sit in Yanmen Pass, supporting both directions at any time.

Yang Peng and Cao Jun were strolling on the city wall of Datong Mansion, and Yang Peng asked, "Do you need anything?" Cao Jun shook his head, "There is no need for anything, the last general has the confidence to hold Datong Mansion!" Yang Peng stopped and said with a smile: "I am relieved that General Cao is guarding here!" Cao Jun's heart rose up a feeling of trust, this feeling had never been felt in the imperial court, in the imperial court, he always felt the suspicion of the emperor behind him and the entire civil court, that feeling simply made him breathless, and what he felt here was indeed full of trust and sincerity. Cao Jun was grateful in his heart, and couldn't help but clench his fists and said: "The last general swears to defend Datong to the death, as long as the last general has a breath, the Khitans don't want to step into Datong Mansion one step!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, patting him on the shoulder.

Yang Peng stopped and looked under the city wall, only to see a steady stream of people dragging their families out of the city to the south, and the city gate was bustling and very noisy. The Great War will soon begin, and the Northland Giant City will become a terrifying Shura Field, and the people will flee their homes to escape the fighting in the Guannai, intending to return after the war is over. However, not all the people fled to the south, many remained, and some fled to the north and northeast, and these people were naturally mainly Khitans.

A scout galloped from afar, ran near the city gate, and shouted, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Emergency military intelligence! The people on the official road avoided in both directions, and scouts sped through the crowd. A moment later, Chen Xiao and Liu Jian saw a scout rushing up.

The scout ran to the two of them, clasped his fists and said, "King Qiyan, the army of Yeyu Tiger City has already passed Hongzhou!" Yang Peng said lightly: "Explore again!" The scout answered, and ran down, and saw him galloping out of the city on horseback.

Yang Peng said to Cao Jun: "I should go back to Yanmen Pass, and I will leave it to you here." Cao Jun hugged his fists and said: "The last general will definitely live up to the trust of King Yan!" Yang Peng advised: "You must always send people to keep in touch with me." "Yes!" Yang Peng walked down the city wall surrounded by secret guards, and then Cao Jun, who was standing on the city wall, saw Yang Peng and his party riding out of the city gate and galloping towards the south.

A few days later, in the morning mist, Yan Yunjun, who was guarding Baishan Mountain, was suddenly awakened by a thunderous noise. Looking down the mountain, I saw that the endless tide was surging towards this side, and there was almost no end in sight; The main force of the Khitan army finally arrived, it was really a tide of soldiers and horses, surging with flags, and the cold light reflected by swords and guns was like a sparkling wave on the sea, and a terrible momentum like collapsing the sky and the earth came to the face; The thunderous roar was trampled by the footsteps of 800,000 people and the iron hooves of hundreds of thousands of war horses, and the earth trembled. It is undeniable that this is a powerful army that is almost invincible, but their opponent is the more powerful Yanyun army, and no one can give an answer to who will kill the deer in the end in this big battle!

Yang Peng returned to Yanmen Pass, and soon received news that the 800,000 troops of Yeyu Hucheng were approaching the Yuhe, completely controlling the east bank of the Yuhe, and were besieging Baishan Mountain with all their might, and the real vicious battle finally began.

Yang Peng asked Han Bing: "Han Bing, have the people's army in Shanxi been assembled?" Han Bing hugged his fists and said: "Back to the eldest brother, the 200,000 people's army has all been assembled, and they are on their way to Yanmen Pass one after another." "Yang Peng is short of grain and grass, unable to mobilize too many troops, but not long ago captured a large number of materials from Datong Mansion, so he can mobilize the military government and civilian army in Shanxi and Henan, Yang Peng can only mobilize these civilian troops nearby, because of the shortage of grain and grass in various places, if the regular army is mobilized, it is really impossible to raise grain and grass, but the civilian army is different, they can carry their own dry food, this section does not need to be considered.

Yang Peng pondered: "When the people's army is all in place, we can free our hands." "Turning his gaze to Baishan Mountain, I saw that the Khitan army controlled the east bank of the Yuhe River on the one hand, and attacked the Baishan military village on the other, and the Khitan army rushed wave after wave in general; However, the rolling stones and trees that kept pouring down from the mountain smashed their flesh and blood and made it difficult to advance an inch, and they had not made any progress after attacking for a long time!

Yehu Hucheng frowned and watched, his palm gripping the hilt tightly. Da lazy ran back to Ye Yu Hucheng's side, and said angrily: "Those Han people are really hateful, so they hid on the mountain and threw stones, we suffered heavy losses, but we couldn't even go up halfway up the mountain!" Han Chang, who was standing on the other side of Yeyu Tiger City, said: "King, this white mountain is very dangerous, and Yan Yunjun has obviously made sufficient preparations, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to gain from a frontal attack!" "Han Chang was originally a general under the command of Ye Hu Huge, but after Ye Hu Xiu Ge was corrected on the spot, he swore allegiance to the court with most of the generals under Ye Hu Huge and became a subordinate of Ye Hu City.

Ye Yu Hucheng frowned and said: "Baishan Mountain and Datong Mansion face each other across the river, looking down on the entire plain, if we don't capture Baishan Mountain first, our army will not be able to attack Datong Mansion with confidence!" ”

Han Chang hurriedly said: "What the king said is extremely true! But what the last general means is, can we think of another way? Yelu Hucheng looked at Han Chang and asked, "Do you have an idea?" Han Chang looked at the Baishan Mountain in front of him, which was reaching into the sky, and said, "With such a big mountain, the last general doesn't believe that there is no inaccessible path that can bypass the front of Yan Yunjun's defense!" "Chao Yelu Hucheng clenched his fist, "Great King, we can send someone to arrest the people living in the surrounding area, especially the hunters and herb pickers, and ask for the path, and the last general believes that we will definitely be able to find a path that can sneak up on the top of the mountain." ”

Yelu Hucheng thought about it and nodded, "Very good, you can do it!" Han Chang promised, turned the horse's head, and ran down.

At this time, Cao Jun was standing on the gate tower of Datong Mansion looking at the battle on the other side, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. Sun Haocheng, the general next to him, suddenly pointed at the Khitan army on the opposite bank and shouted: "General, look, the Khitan army has stopped attacking!" Cao Jun retracted his thoughts, and sure enough, he saw that the Khitan army had stopped attacking and was collecting troops and returning to the camp. The subordinate general Li Mu smiled: "Haha, the Khitan people have no way to take Bai Mountain!" If you can't take Bai Mountain, you won't be able to attack this Datong Mansion with peace of mind! ”

Cao Jun turned his head to the herald beside him and said, "You immediately go to Baishan Mountain to remind General Li Zheng, and ask him to guard to the death, especially pay attention to the flanks and rear, and be careful of the enemy's sneak attack!" The herald answered, and ran down.

The Khitan army has surrounded Baishan Mountain, but the area occupied by Baishan Mountain is very large, and the mountains are high and dense, so the encirclement of the Khitan army cannot be airtight, and there are still many places to penetrate it, and the herald sent by Cao Jun is to pass through the encirclement of the Khitans and go up to the mountain with the cover of a natural ravine full of thorns.

When the herald came to the big tent on the mountain, Li Zheng and the others were celebrating the victory they had just won, and everyone looked relaxed and happy, as if they didn't care about the 800,000 Khitan troops under the mountain.

The herald clasped his fists at Li Zheng and bowed: "I've seen General Zhu!" Li Zheng said with a smile: "General Cao must have seen the battle situation here on the city wall!" Let General Cao rest assured, even if the Khitans attack for a hundred years, they will not be able to attack it! ”

The herald answered, and then said: "General Cao ordered the villain to remind General Li, and General Cao said: The enemy is likely to find a deserted path to sneak attack the top of the mountain, and General Cao should be careful and pay attention to the flanks and rear!" ”

Li Zheng smiled: "General Cao is too careful!" Nodding, "Okay, I know, you go back and tell General Cao, just say that I will do it." The herald answered, and departed. A subordinate general clasped his fist at Li Zheng and asked, "General, the soldiers and horses under the command of the last general are idle, so it is better to go and defend the flank and rear." ”

Li Zheng waved his hand, "There's no need for that, this white mountain is steep and abnormal, except for the front, the rest of the place is full of cliffs, where can you get on people?" We don't have to be distracted! The generals felt that what Li Zheng said made sense, and nodded one after another.

The herald returned to Datong Mansion and reported Li Zheng's words to Cao Jun, and Cao Jun was relieved. However, how did Cao Jun know that Li Zhengyang was perfunctory, and he didn't do what he said at all.

In the middle of the night that day, Liu Kuang, who was resting in the hall, was suddenly awakened by a rapid call. I saw that Sun Haocheng, the subordinate general under his command, was standing in front of him with an anxious face, frowned, and asked, "What is so panicked?" Sun Haocheng hurriedly said: "Oh no, General, the Khitan army has attacked Baishan Mountain!" Cao Jun was startled, Huo Ran got up, picked up the weapon in his hand and ran out of the hall. Looking in the direction of Bai Mountain, I saw the flames on Bai Mountain, the situation was obviously very critical, and I couldn't help but exclaim: "How can this be? How did the Khitan army attack the mountain? Then he said to Sun Haocheng: "Quickly pass the order, and the army will gather with me to help Bai Mountain!" Sun Haocheng promised and ran down. Cao Jun turned his head to look at Bai Shanshan, his brows furrowed tightly.

At this time, there was chaos on Baishan Mountain, countless Khitan soldiers had rushed up the mountain, and the 30,000 Yanyun army had been rushed to pieces under the surprise of the 30,000 Yanyun army, although they were still resisting desperately, but they were obviously powerless to return to the sky, there were fighting figures everywhere, flying blood everywhere, one by one the Khitan soldiers were cut to the ground, and one by one the Yanyun soldiers fell in a pool of blood; Li Zheng brandished a big knife and roared and fought in the enemy army, only to see blood flying, and the Khitan soldiers were invincible, and there was no one to join forces.

A blood-stained Yanyun officer stumbled in front of Li Xu, his feet were weak, he knelt down on one knee, and said breathlessly: "General, we, we can't resist!" ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw him fall to the ground with a star, Li Zheng was taken aback, and then saw several feather arrows stuck in his back! With grief and indignation in his heart, he raised his head, only to see more than a dozen Khitan soldiers not far away bending their bows and arrows aimed at him, Li Zheng was furious, and rushed towards the dozen Khitan soldiers with a big knife and roaring.

The Khitan soldiers were shocked by his momentum, and they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, and when they saw him rushing fiercely, they hurriedly released their arrows. More than a dozen arrows roared towards Li Zheng, Li Zheng waved his big knife to block, blocking seven or eight arrows, almost the same as here, poof, a few arrows hit Li Zheng's chest! Li Zheng snorted and held a big knife on the ground to support himself from falling. At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and several Khitan army warriors raised their maces and axes and rushed towards Li Zheng with a shout.

Li Zheng's eyes widened, he shouted, and actually waved a big knife to meet him, and the two sides were instantly intertwined, only to see a fierce fight, the sound of swords and axes slashing, and the sound of blades colliding sounded into a loud one, and the two Khitan generals screamed and fell off their horses, and Li Zheng's head flew into the sky! ……

Cao Jun led the army out of the city in a hurry, but as soon as he left the city, he immediately sensed that something was wrong and quickly ordered the army to retreat into the city. At this moment, the enemy troops lying in ambush in all directions rose up, howling and killing the Yanyun army, and in the dark night, it only felt as if there were countless people and horses!

Cao Jun was in danger, and immediately ordered 1,500 cavalry to be divided into three teams to meet the north, south, and east directions, while the main force retreated into the city as quickly as possible.

In the darkness of the night, the Khitan army suddenly found that Yanyun cavalry was coming up, and they were taken aback, they had not expected this situation at all in advance. The two sides scuffled, and the Khitan army couldn't figure out how many people Yan Yunjun came, so they couldn't help but feel a little worried in their hearts, so they just tried their best to slash and kill, and as a result, they hacked each other to death. It was also self-defeating on the part of the Khitan army, they originally wanted to use the night to make the Yan Yun army frightened, so as to break the Yan Yun army in one fell swoop and attack Datong Mansion, but they didn't expect the Yan Yun army's war horse to take the initiative to meet it, this time they turned the host into a guest, and they couldn't help but panic in their hearts.

Han Chang, the leading general, discovered the problem in time and said urgently: "Hurry up and light the torch, hurry up and light the torch!" The torches lit up one after another, and at this time, the eyes of the Khitan soldiers were good, and they saw that there were many corpses of their own soldiers lying on the ground, and the Yanyun cavalry had long since disappeared.

Han Chang was so angry that he immediately led the army to storm Datong Mansion, the arrows on the city wall rained down, and the rolling stones and trees poured down like a waterfall, and the Khitan army suffered heavy casualties but did not even touch the wall battlements. Han Chang Yan Yun's army was well prepared, knowing that it was impossible to break through the city in a hurry, so he had no choice but to temporarily retreat.

"General, the enemy has retreated!" General Sun Haocheng said to Cao Jun. Cao Jun nodded, turned his head to look at Bai Mountain, and saw that the fire on Bai Mountain's mountain was gradually decreasing, and the battle seemed to have entered the end. Cao Jun knew that the situation on Bai Mountain's mountain was extremely bad, but he still hoped that a miracle would happen. Turning his head to Sun Haocheng beside him, he said: "Immediately send scouts to find out the situation on Bai Mountain!" Sun Haocheng promised and ran down.

In the wee hours of the morning, Cao Jun fell asleep while sitting in the guard's room at the city gate. Sun Haocheng hurried in, saw that Liu Jian was asleep, and whispered: "General! There was a hint of anxiety in his voice. After shouting twice, Liu Jianyi woke up in shock, saw Sun Haocheng, and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation of Bai Mountain?" Sun Haocheng showed a look of grief and indignation, "The whole army was annihilated, and General Li Zheng was also killed!" ”

After all, what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
