Chapter 340, the prologue of the Great War

Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard the sound of horses' hooves rushing to the door of the big tent, and almost at the same time several screams rang out, and then the black shadow flickered, and a knight actually rode into the big tent. Rao is Yelu Tiger City is brave and extraordinary, and he was still taken aback when he suddenly saw such a scene. At this time, there was no light in the big tent, and it was dark, and I couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, but I felt that the other party must be not good, so I subconsciously grabbed the mace that was placed on the side of the march.

Seeing that the knight rushed up, Ye Hu Cheng sneered in his heart: "You are here to die!" Thinking like this, his body has already moved, and his right foot takes a step forward, and his mace sweeps towards the belly of the opponent's horse, and if it hits this time, the war horse will not be spared, and the knight on its back will also be thrown off the horse. At this moment, Yelu Hucheng suddenly saw his opponent's hands move, and at the same time, a cold light flashed, and then he saw the sharp horse lance blade coming straight towards his right arm, and the speed was amazing! Ye Hu Cheng didn't expect the other party to be so quick and ruthless, and he was shocked, seeing that if he continued to fight like this, he could certainly kill the opponent's war horse, but one of his right arms would inevitably be sent away.

Yari Tiger City slashed his mace and wanted to attack the opponent's back, but he didn't expect the opponent to be faster, so he used a return pistol and stabbed straight at his face. Ye Hu Cheng hurriedly waved his mace, and the two weapons collided with each other, and there was a loud bang. The knight turned his horse's head suddenly, and swept towards Yelu Tiger City with his right hand wielding a horse lance, which could not be said to be incompatible between this move and the return horse pistol just now, and Yehu Hucheng was difficult to block for a while, so he had to lower his body and roll on the spot to avoid the sweep of this powerful force!

Before he could stand up, he saw that the other party had already rushed up on horseback, trying to use the impact of the war horse to hit him. The man stood up with a neighing horse, raised his two front hooves and went to trample on the Tiger City. Ye Hu Cheng didn't have time to dance the mace, threw away the mace in his hurry, grabbed a horse's hoof with both hands, the strength exploded, the roar of anger was wild, the heavy hooves of the war horse couldn't step on, and a man and a horse resisted each other to form a confrontation.

The knight was shocked and wanted to assassinate Yeron Tiger City with a horse lance, but at this moment, the whole person of Yelang Tiger City was almost close to the horse's belly, and the horse lance in the knight's hand could not attack at all. Drink!! Suddenly, Yehu Hucheng let out a thunderous roar, and pushed forward with all his strength, and the war horse took two steps back, and Yehu Hucheng also took two steps back. Immediately, the knight smiled and said: "What a Ya Hu Cheng, worthy of being the number one warrior of the Liao Kingdom!" As soon as Ye Hu Cheng heard this voice, his eyes widened, and he shouted in great surprise: "Yang Peng! You are Yang Peng, the king of Yan! ”

At this moment, the figures at the gate of the big tent surged, and all the relatives rushed in to rescue their king with a shout. Seeing that there was no chance, Yang Peng immediately turned his horse's head and crashed into the middle of those pro-soldiers, and the horse hit the lance, killing all the pro-soldiers and breaking out of the encirclement single-handedly.

Yelu Hucheng chased out, and at this time, the Khitan army in the camp had already reacted, and the infantry cavalry gathered in this direction like a tide. Ye Yu Hucheng saw Yang Peng and dozens of other war horsemen fighting all the way out of the barracks from a distance, and his own soldiers were unstoppable. Ye Hu Cheng shouted in annoyance, turned over on his horse, took the mace handed by his own soldiers, and shouted loudly: "Yang Peng, don't run!" Immediately led countless soldiers to chase after him.

The two sides rushed out of the barracks one after another, Yang Peng had no intention of stopping at all, leading dozens of horsemen to gallop in front, only to see figures flickering in the cold moonlight; And the army of Yehu Hucheng was chasing after him like a tide, and the furious Yehu Hucheng couldn't wait to devour Yang Peng alive!

Seeing Yang Peng, they had seen the clearing between the two trees, ran up the small hill in front of them, and stopped. Ye Hu Cheng saw Yang Peng stop, and his heart was overjoyed. At this moment, Han Chang next to him suddenly exclaimed, "Be careful of cold arrows!" Almost at the same time, Yelu Tiger City saw a cold light flying from that hillside, as fast as lightning! Ye Hu Cheng was shocked, subconsciously reined in the war horse, the war horse neighed and stood up, almost at the same time, a sharp arrow pierced the neck of the war horse and flew over against Ye Hu Cheng's cheek, knocking Ye Hu Cheng's hat away!

The war horse fell to the ground with a scream, and threw Yeyu Hucheng to the ground, and all the Khitan soldiers were taken aback, and they all reined in their horses, and they didn't know who was leading the way, and all the soldiers bent their bows and arrows to shoot towards the hillside. However, more than two hundred steps away, the wolf's tooth arrows shot by the Khitan soldiers had already fallen to the ground before they could fly up the hillside.

At this moment, another flash of lightning flashed on the hillside, and the Khitan soldiers were shocked, and someone exclaimed: "Be careful! Almost at the same time, a miserable scream sounded, and everyone hurriedly followed the voice, only to see that the general under General Xiao Dalazi, Echuan, was falling off his horse with his feet facing the sky! The soldiers of the Khitan army couldn't help but be frightened, everyone was in danger, and wanted to escape, but they felt that they were scared away by dozens of horsemen from the other side, which was really embarrassing, so everyone felt in a dilemma!

Shout! There was a sudden and extremely sharp sound on the hillside, and the Khitan soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was the screaming sound of the arrow. Han Chang and a few other generals who reacted quickly suddenly thought of something, their faces changed suddenly, and they exclaimed, "It's not good! ......" But before the words fell, the sound of killing suddenly rose in the forests on both sides, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder. The Khitan soldiers were startled, and following the prestige, they saw countless war horses rushing out under the moonlight, like terrible wolves!

The two Yanyun cavalry slammed into the middle of the Khitan army, the Khitan army was caught off guard, and was immediately killed so that people turned over on their backs and turned over their feet, and at the same time, Yang Peng led the dozens of horsemen to rush down, like a torrent rushing unstoppably, and the Khitan soldiers at the head couldn't help but be afraid!

Yang Peng led dozens of horsemen to crash into the enemy army, bravely moving forward, the horse lance opened and closed the tiger and the tiger was windy, raising the blood and water in the sky, the Khitan soldiers were invincible, there was no general, the flesh and blood were flying, and the people were turning over on their backs! Yang Peng is like a terrifying killing god, while Yanyun War Cavalry is like a tiger and a pack of wolves, wielding sharp claws and wantonly harvesting the lives of Khitan soldiers!

The Khitan army could not resist such a ferocious charge and retreated. Yang Peng led the cavalry to chase and kill all the way, and killed and injured countless Khitan troops, and the Khitan army that fled for its life was like a frightened bird. Yan Yunjun had already stopped pursuing, but the frightened Khitan soldiers had no intention of stopping, and ran wildly, only hating their father and mother for missing two legs, until they ran into the camp, and finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Ye Hu Cheng was shocked, thinking back to the experience just now, he felt that the enemy was only two or three thousand horsemen, and more than 20,000 of his own men and horses were actually killed and defeated, and the wolf ran to the spur, which was really embarrassing, and scolded angrily: "It's all waste!" It's all rubbish! The generals were ashamed and hung their heads.

Yelu Hucheng shouted to Han Chang: "Go and count it, see how many soldiers and horses have been lost?" And when he had said this, he went back to the big tent, and the generals followed. When he came to the big tent, Ye Hu Cheng turned around abruptly and said very angrily: "I didn't expect Yang Peng to dare to lead dozens of horsemen to raid our army's camp!" Looking at Da Lazy, "Da Lazy, how are you on duty at night, Yang Peng has already killed my big tent, and you are still ignorant!" What a rice bucket! Da lazy was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt: "It's the last general who has been derelict in his duties, and I ask the king to forgive me!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng's eyes widened, "Forgiveness? Hmph, it's not that easy! You have made such a big mistake and caused such a serious loss, if you are not killed, where is the military law! Come on! The soldiers outside the door immediately came in and saluted in unison: "Here!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng pointed at the extremely frightened Da Lazy and shouted: "Drag Da Lazy down and cut it!" The soldiers immediately stepped forward, twisted Dalazi's arms and took them off. Da lazy was terrified, struggling to beg for mercy: "The king spares his life, the king spares his life!" Unless the general is careless, the enemy is too cunning! Where is Ye Hu Cheng willing to believe, and smiled coldly. All the generals couldn't help but have a feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and pleaded with Ye Yu Hucheng one after another, and Lou Mu said: "King, General Da Lao really has no negligence, I have seen General Da Lao personally lead his troops to patrol the night before the incident!" Although the loss this time is not small, but General Da Lazy is not at fault after all, if he beheads General Da Lazy like this, I am afraid that it will make the soldiers feel cold! Please think twice! The generals chimed in, and Da lazily looked at Yehu Tiger City.

Seeing that the generals dared to intercede for Da Lazy, Ye Hu Cheng was even more furious, slapped the table, and shouted: "This king's military order, do you dare to disobey it?" The generals' hearts were stunned, and they didn't dare to speak anymore.

However, Ye Yu Hucheng thought about it for a while, and felt that it seemed a little unreasonable to cut Da Lazy like this, but if he was to be released, there would be no place to vent this evil anger, so he raised his voice and said: "I won't kill you for the time being, I will beat you with two hundred military sticks to let you know the majesty of military law!" Da Lazy was happy and worried, happy that he had finally saved his life, and worried that he didn't know if he could survive the two hundred military sticks.

Ye Hu Cheng waved his hand and shouted, "Drag it down, execute!" The soldiers dragged Da Lao down, and at this time, Han Chang was running into the big tent, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he didn't dare to report the casualties to Ye Yu Tiger City for a while. Immediately, the loud sound of crackling sticks hitting the skin and flesh came, and at the same time, the screams like lazy pigs were also heard at once.

When Ye Hu Cheng heard Da Lazy's screams, he hated even more in his heart, and couldn't help but scold: "What a rice bucket!" The warriors of the Great Liao Kingdom are not afraid of death, what's the big deal with a few sticks, they scream so miserably! Then he shouted, "Hit me hard!" Hit hard! The crackling sound became louder, and Da Lazy screamed even more violently, and everyone who heard it couldn't help but tremble. Gradually, Da Lazy's screams became quieter, and he was almost inaudible by then! The generals looked at each other and couldn't help but think: Da Lazy won't die just yet, right?!

A moment later, a personal soldier came in and reported: "King, General Da Lao has passed out, do you want to fight with a hundred sticks left?" Most of Ye Hucheng's anger had already disappeared, and he said, "Forget it, take it down to heal your injuries." The soldiers answered and ran down.

Da Lazy was lying on the marching collapse, naked, his back and hips were blurred with flesh and blood, Da Lazy was humming and chirping there, but the voice was very small, looking at him like that, he was afraid that his life was lost five or six times, an old medical officer was giving him medicine, and the purple-black ointment gradually covered the bloody skin.

Xiao Lou walked in and couldn't help but be a little frightened when he saw Da Lazy's miserable condition. Da Lazy opened his hazy eyes and saw Lou Room, "You, you're here?" Xiao Lou said, "I'll come to see you." Then he walked over to a small pestle on the side of the march and sat down. At this time, the old medical officer had already given Da Lazy a good medicine and withdrew.

Da Lazy said with a happy face: "I finally picked up a life!" ”

Xiao Lou said: "The king of the Southern Courtyard is gracious, exempt the hundred military sticks behind you, otherwise your life will be gone!" Da Lazy snorted, "It's not my fault in the first place!" Patrols everywhere and guards everywhere were all arranged by the king of the Southern Courtyard himself, and I didn't slack off in the slightest, but after something happened, they all blamed me! Hey, that's the case with us subordinates, and the sins are ours! Suddenly realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said: "Actually, I don't mean to blame the king, brother, don't misunderstand!" Xiao Loumur laughed, "Are you a Han who tells right and wrong?" Don't worry, the conversation between the two of us will never reach the ears of the king! Besides, you're just whining, and after being beaten, aren't you allowed to complain? Da Lazy smiled gratefully.

Xiao Lou said strangely: "The security of the military camp is not strict, so how did King Yan get in?" ”

Da lazy said: "Afterwards, I went to inspect all the places, and found that all the guards at a walled gate were killed, and a nearby patrol was also killed, Yang Peng and they should have broken through that walled gate!" Yang Peng has an elite personal soldier, called the 'secret guard', good at assassination and raids, the princess has suffered from them before, and it really comes and goes without a trace, like a ghost, it must be this 'secret guard' who touched the barracks, and then killed the sentries and patrols to open the gate of the village! ”

Xiao Lou frowned and said, "I've also heard of such an army, but I haven't seen it. ”

Da lazy said: "It's better not to see it, otherwise, I'm afraid your life has already been removed!" Xiao Lou smiled. Da lazy frowned, "Brother, I always have an uneasy feeling in my heart, I feel that this expedition will not go well!" Xiao Lou said with a smile: "You were frightened by Yang Peng's round of raids!" Then he sighed: "I was also scared!" I didn't expect him to ride dozens of horses in the camp of our hundreds of thousands of troops, coming and going, like entering a no-man's land! Even the king of the Southern Courtyard is in danger! Hey, Yang Peng, the king of Yan, is really unparalleled in the world! Da Lazy nodded sympathetically.

Xiao Lou said with a smile: "But we don't want to fight with him alone, our 800,000 army is overwhelming, his Yanyun army is only more than 200,000 horses, and he lost Baishan Mountain, it shouldn't be a problem for me to recapture Datong Mansion, maybe I can take advantage of the situation to capture Yanmen Pass!" Da lazy smiled, but he didn't know that this smile affected the injury on his back, and he only felt a tingling pain all over his body, and he laughed twice and pulled out the cold air.

Xiao Lou said with a smile: "Brother, be careful, there is a wound on your back!" Da Lazy breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother, I don't think things will go so well!" What kind of character is King Yan, since he dares to stay in the army to defend Datong Mansion, I am afraid that he is somewhat sure! When the Central Plains was still in our hands before, our army did not have a big advantage in any battle, but when the battle was fought to the back, even if we did not suffer a big defeat or loss, we suffered a lot of losses! It's hard for me to believe that we're going to win big this time! ”

Xiao Lou said with a smile: "There is one thing that you may not know yet. Da Lazy looked puzzled. Lou Room said: "Just now, the king of the Southern Courtyard received a letter from Western Xia! ......" Da Lazy is not a stupid person, as soon as he heard this, he immediately guessed seven or eight points, and asked happily: "Has Western Xia sent troops?" ”

Lou Room said: "The letter said that the Western Xia is preparing to send troops, and I believe that it will not be long before the Western Xia army will attack Yanyun!" Da lazy thought and said: "If the Xixia people send troops, there is a chance that they will attack the line of the Great Wall Ridge and Yinzhou, and the general manager of the Shaanxi-Gansu march is Yang Yanzhao, and Gao Hu is also over there, but I am afraid that the Xixia people will not be able to please him!" Xiao Lou said with a smile: "That's okay, as long as the Western Xia people can contain some of Yan Yunjun's energy, our side will have a few more chances of winning!" The Yan Yun army is very strong, but in terms of the current situation, there should be no problem in defeating the Yan Yun army to recapture Datong Mansion! Da Lazy nodded thoughtfully.

Early the next morning, Ye Hu Cheng ordered Xiao Hong, the general of Zuo, to lead 300,000 troops south to attack Yanmen Pass, and he himself led another 300,000 troops to attack Datong Mansion. 300,000 soldiers and horses surrounded Yanmen Pass from the east, north and south directions, the army was like a tide, murderous to the sky, a cry like a group of wild beasts howling, the army crushed the city to destroy, booming and agitating; On the city wall, the Yanyun army was in strict formation, just waiting for the enemy to attack.

Suddenly, a long whistle of a horn crossed the sky, and the shouts and war drums immediately stopped, and there was silence between heaven and earth. Then another long whistle of a horn crossed the sky, and the drums of war suddenly roared loudly, louder and more thrilling than before. The Khitan soldiers shouted violently, and at the same time launched an attack on Datong Mansion from the east, north, and south, and for a while, a rain of arrows like locusts flew in the sky, and stones crossed the sky like a meteor shower; The arrow towers and the caravans approached the city wall like a dense forest, and the chariots began to hit the city gate heavily, making a thrilling loud noise; On the city wall, rolling stones and sassholes poured down, only to see flesh and blood flying, and screams one after another.

As soon as the Khitan army came up, they did their best, and the battle entered a white-hot point at the beginning. Ye Hu Cheng and the others looked at the battlefield like the Shura Field, with a grim expression, although their own army had suffered heavy losses, and no one had yet climbed the city wall, but they were not in a hurry, this was the first day, they didn't expect to make much progress on the first day, if they had that kind of thought, wouldn't they despise the Yan Yun Army who was powerful in the world! On the first day of the attack, the main thing is to test the virtual and real situation of the opponent's defense, and then avoid the real and attack the false, and it is possible to break through the defense and seize the city!

The magnificent and fierce battle began early in the morning and lasted until noon, and after a short rest, the battle continued until about four o'clock in the afternoon, and did not stop. The Khitan army still kept storming the city wall, and piles of corpses had accumulated under the city wall, but the red-eyed Khitan army did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and still kept attacking like crazy. This is really an incomparably huge meat grinder, constantly grinding the soldiers on both sides into bloody corpses.

Woo, woo, woo! Ye Yu Hucheng and others, who were watching the battle under the East City Gate, suddenly heard the sound of the alarm horn from the south, and couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously looked over there. I saw the smoke and dust outside the southeast corner of Datong Mansion, thousands of war horses are rushing in, the first battle flag, embroidered with the "Yan King" two dragons flying phoenix dance big characters, all the Khitan soldiers saw the big flag, they couldn't help but be shocked, secretly said: Is it the Yan King is coming!?

Yelu Hucheng did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered the attacking troops outside the east gate to suspend the attack, and at the same time ordered all the armies to prepare for battle.

The horn of the Khitan army sounded loudly, woo, woo, and the troops who were besieging the city immediately retreated, while the troops that did not participate in the siege immediately lined up in a round or square battle formation, waiting for the battle.

The originally noisy and fierce battlefield immediately fell silent, and only the rumbling of horses' hooves coming from the southeast could be heard. The soldiers of the Yanyun Army in the city couldn't help but be excited when they saw the Yanwang battle banner approaching the enemy formation, and their morale was greatly boosted.

Yang Peng and Zhan Jinguo led two thousand Xuanjia troops to three hundred steps in front of the Khitan army's large array. The transition between movement and stillness was extremely fast, as if it was still speeding at full speed just now, and in the blink of an eye, it was as quiet as a mountain, and the Khitan soldiers couldn't help but be shocked when they saw this scene. At this time, the 20,000 or 30,000 Khitan army cavalry chasing all the way from the southeast stopped at about two hundred paces behind the Xuanjia Army, and only stopped completely after a period of brake-like buffering and chaos.

Zhan Jin Guo rode his horse to the two armies and shouted: "I am Yan Yun's general Zhan Jin Guo, who dares to fight me to the death?" "The sound is like thunder, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

When even a Khitan army warrior galloped out, everyone looked at it, and it turned out to be the famous golden haired general Vest in the Khitan army, only to see him carrying a huge cross sword and galloping towards the Zhanjin country. Zhan Jinguo saw that it was West, his eyes showed excitement, and he immediately urged the horse to meet him. The soldiers on both sides couldn't help but shout.

The hooves of the eight horses flipped sharply, and in the blink of an eye, the two horses intersected, one wielded a spear, the other danced a sword, and the two blades slammed together in the air, with a loud bang, and the sound shook the world! The two horses each ran more than ten steps, turned their heads suddenly, rushed towards each other again, and fought another move in the blink of an eye, and so on for several rounds, the two horses were entangled and fought fiercely. The crosssword in Vester's hand flipped up and down, and the moves were simple but powerful; The steel spear in Zhan Jinguo's hand was as fast as lightning, and the power was thousands, constantly attacking the key points of Vest, and the loud sound of the collision between the blades rang out. At this time, the blood of the soldiers on both sides was completely boiling, and one after another shouted straight into the sky.

West and Zhan Jin Guo fought for more than 20 rounds without a win, but Zhan Jin Guo became more and more courageous, and his momentum became more and more vigorous, while West gradually showed a state of exhaustion, and the expression in his eyes gradually became frightened. Seeing that West's condition was not good, Butler's companion hurriedly galloped out and prepared to capture the Kingdom of Jin with West.

Seeing this, Yang Peng immediately urged the horse to meet him. Butler saw Yang Peng come out, so he had to give up rescuing West and instead face Yang Peng. When the Yan Yun soldiers saw their Yan King personally fighting, they couldn't help but be extremely excited, and shouted with all their strength, and the shouts were like bursts of waves.

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