Chapter 343, Mantis Yellow Sparrow

Xiao Hong couldn't help but say: "Such a secluded path, if someone doesn't guide us, how can we find it?" It can be seen that this is the Heavenly Death Yanyun! Then he ordered the army to enter the mountain.

So the 30,000 elites turned into a thin long snake winding between the dangerous peaks and mountains, slowly advancing, hundreds of sergeants who were good at mountaineering opened the way in front, others followed behind, the mountain road was not only very rugged, but also very bumpy and dangerous, above was a dangerous rock cliff, below was a bottomless abyss, a small stone rolled down, and the sound of falling could not be heard for a long time; The mountain road was only a few feet wide, and the Khitan army could not move side by side at all, so they could only move forward one by one, and the speed was very slow.

At this time, the sound of killing in the direction of Yanmen Pass was much quieter, not because the sound had become smaller, but because the steep mountains here hindered the transmission of sound.

Xiao Hong led 30,000 troops to walk between the cliffs and mountains for more than an hour, and the front suddenly stopped, and the whole team couldn't help but stop. Xiao Hong looked up and saw that the front team had reached an extremely dangerous place, and the sergeants who had opened the way in front of him crossed over hand and foot. Suddenly there was a loud noise, and at the same time there was a terrible scream, and everyone was taken aback, and then they saw a sergeant who was opening the way in front of him sliding down the cliff, and his body quickly disappeared into the valley.

Everyone stood on the mountain road in a daze, and their hearts couldn't help but be worried. Xiao Hong came back to his senses and raised his voice: "Keep going!" "The army continued to advance, more carefully than before, and most of them used the four-legged climbing method regardless of the image, which in any case was not as important as the life.

Thundered...... There was a sudden loud noise on the mountain, and the Khitan soldiers on the mountain road were shocked, and subconsciously looked up, only to see a few boulders tumbling down from the mountain, like thunder! The Khitan soldiers were frightened and dodged one after another, some of them fell off the cliff, and a few unlucky guys couldn't dodge, and were smashed by the big stones that poured down from the mountain.

When everything calmed down, the Khitan soldiers were shocked. Xiao Hong scolded angrily: "There is no landslide in the morning, no landslide in the evening, but the landslide at this time!" Then he shouted to the soldiers: "Keep going!" The army continued to advance, but with the experience just now, everyone glanced at it from time to time. Under the moonlight, many soldiers suddenly saw that the whole mountain seemed to be moving, and then they saw countless mountains and rocks rushing down, making a loud noise like rolling thunder, as if a mountain torrent broke out, and like the sky and the earth cracked, and the whole mountain seemed to tremble!

The Khitan soldiers changed color in an instant, and they shouted one after another, some ran forward, some fled backwards, but the narrow mountain road could not let them run away in time, and as a result, they pushed each other and many fell off the cliff. At this moment, the mountain stone waterfall rushed down, and in an instant, I saw the flesh and blood flying on the mountain road, but I was not killed on the spot, but also knocked down the abyss by the huge impact.

The loud roar and terrible screams rang out for a while before they stopped.

Xiao Hong was frightened, looked at the mountain road, and saw that the mountain road was in a mess, with many corpses lying there, and those who were not dead were huddled on the inside of the mountain wall, trembling. General Xiao Hu said: "General, it really doesn't look like a natural landslide just now!" Before he could finish speaking, he heard the laughter of many people coming from the mountains. The Khitan troops who were shrinking on the mountain road were taken aback, and they all looked up, only to see many torches lit up on the mountain, and there were countless armored sergeants under the reflection of the firelight, needless to say, it must be the Yanyun army.

The Khitan soldiers were terrified, and Xiao Hong said in disbelief: "What, how can this be?" How did they know there was such a path?! Xiao Hong was also too confident, and he didn't want to think about it, which of those generals in the Yanyun army was not wise and brave, what he could think of, couldn't those generals in the Yanyun army think of? In fact, this path was already known to Han Bing when he was stationed at Yanmen Pass, and in addition, there was another path that the Yanyun army knew but the Khitan army did not know.

Yang Jiumei looked at the Khitan army that could not advance or retreat on the mountain road below, smiled coldly, raised her right hand and waved it forward, the soldiers around her struggled to push down many rocks, and the scene of the torrent appeared again, only to see that the rocks rushed down again, smashing many Khitan soldiers and soldiers, and the screams rang out.

Xiao Hong's anxious voice sounded: "Hurry back, hurry back!" "These Khitan troops are all elite soldiers in the Khitan army, so although they have suffered huge changes, in the absence of orders, there is still no one to flee without authorization, and now Xiao Hong's order to retreat has been issued, and the Khitan soldiers have turned to prepare to retreat, but the mountain road is narrow and steep, and it is impossible to retreat in a short time.

The Yanyun army on the mountain just threw stones and arrows, and the screams on the mountain road came and went, and the Khitan soldiers were extremely angry and terrified, but in this case, the opponent took advantage of the territory, and they couldn't do it even if they wanted to fight back.

The Khitan army slowly retreated down the mountain, stones and arrows flying overhead, and I don't know how many people died unjustly. Finally, the Khitan army withdrew from the ambush range of the Yanyun army, and looking at the thrilling mountain road in the distance, everyone was extremely happy at the same time, but they couldn't help but have palpitations.

Xiao Hong scolded angrily: "This revenge, I will return it to you tenfold and hundredfold in the future!" The voice echoed in the mountains: 'Give it back to you, give it back to you...... and all the soldiers couldn't help but feel the same way, thinking of the scene of escaping death just now, they couldn't help but be furious.

Wow wow wow...... A loud, terrifying scream suddenly came from above. The Khitan soldiers were taken aback, looked up one after another, and saw a huge and vicious black man jumping down from the bushes above with a pair of cold-light plate axes, and at the same time, hundreds of fierce sergeants also jumped down with steel knives.

The Khitan soldiers were taken aback, and before they could react, they were rushed into the middle by the other party. The big black man screamed, and a pair of plate axes flew up and down, cutting the flesh and blood of the Khitan army, and the other sergeants were also as fierce as they were, wantonly killing lives like bloodthirsty beasts.

The Khitan soldiers were frightened and were attacked by such a ferocious raid again, even the most elite could not help but panic, but they had not collapsed yet, and many were still desperately fighting back. At this time, if Xiao Hong could take the lead in fighting the enemy, maybe he could move back to the situation, but Xiao Hong's performance was far from his bold words just now, seeing hundreds of fierce Yan Yun killed, he was so frightened that he fled for his life down the mountain. In this way, the morale collapsed, and the soldiers of the Khitan army saw that the commander had run away, and they had no intention of fighting, rushing for their lives, pushing each other and falling off the cliff and killing countless people, far more than Yang Jing and them.

Yang Jing was able to kill, carrying two plate axes to chase and kill first, and couldn't help screaming excitedly, only to see that the Khitan soldiers who didn't have time to run away were like firewood by him one by one. Yang Jing became more and more excited the more they killed, and the Khitan army became more and more panicked the more they ran.

The Khitan army finally escaped from the mountains, and seeing that the Yanyun army did not chase after them anymore, they settled down a little. Thinking back to the experience I had just experienced in the mountains, I really felt like I was reincarnated.

Xiao Hong looked at the soldiers around him, although he hadn't counted yet, he felt that he was almost half less than before entering the mountain, and his heart was depressed, angry and panicked, and there was also a sense of happiness. After looking around, he didn't see Xiao Hu and Zhou Fang, he was taken aback, and hurriedly raised his voice and asked, "What about General Xiao and General Zhou?" ”

The generals looked around, and an officer ran to Xiao Hong and reported: "Back to the general, the last general saw General Xiao Hu being smashed off the cliff by stones on the mountain road!" ”

Xiao Hong was stunned for a moment, and then a sad mood rose in his heart. Suddenly thinking of Zhou Fang, he hurriedly asked, "What about General Zhou?" The officer shook his head and said he didn't know. At this time, another officer rushed to report; "Just now, General Zhou Fang was cut into two pieces by that 'Black Demon God' with an axe!"

Xiao Hong was startled, and then he had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, he originally planned to capture Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that the other party had already taken precautions, not to mention that more than half of the army was lost, and even two cronies and generals were killed! It's really stealing chickens and rice!

Xiao Hong felt sorry for himself for a while, cleaned up his mood, and led the remnants of the defeated army back to the camp. When he returned to the barracks, he found that Xiao Zhanle had not returned, so he immediately ordered Xiao Zhanle to collect his troops and return to the camp.

Xiao Zhanle collected his troops and returned to the camp, rushed into the big tent, and saw Xiao Hong, who was sitting in a handsome position with his head down, and immediately expected a few points, and did not dare to touch his moldy head, but just saluted; "The last general has been ordered to withdraw!"

Xiao Hong nodded, glanced up at Xiao Zhanle, and asked, "You feinted to attack Yanmen Pass, how is the situation?" Xiao Zhanle said: "The opponent is well guarded, and our army has no chance to take advantage of it!" However, since the last general was only ordered to feint, there were not many casualties! ”

Xiao Hong nodded; "Well, if only there weren't many casualties!" After a pause, he said to Zhanle: "Pass the order, all armies will strictly defend it, without my order, no one is allowed to go to war without authorization, and those who violate the military law will be dealt with!" Xiao Zhanle promised and ran down. Xiao Hong was stunned for a while, sighed, walked to the front of the march, and lay down.

Eyes turned to Datong Mansion.

The Liao army rested for a night, and early the next morning, they lined up again to attack the city. The battle was very fierce, and the Khitan soldiers fought bravely to attack the city one after another, but Datong Mansion was like a golden city soup pool, and a ** impact wave hit the city wall but it was shattered into countless pieces! The battle went on for three days.

On the fourth day, the Khitan army continued to attack the city, and the attack was significantly stronger than the previous three days. Just when the battle was stalemate and the two sides were inseparable, the Khitan army actually launched many iron-clad artillery pieces in the battle array, and all the artillery was concentrated in the direction of the West City Gate, because the Khitan army had already discovered through the siege of the past few days that the West City Gate was the weakest place in the defense of the Yanyun Army.

The siege force of the Khitan army retreated like a tidal tide in the ebb tide. Immediately, the artillery roared in unison, and more than 200 cannons roared at the same time, which was really earth-shattering and deafening! I saw a rain of bullets roaring and smashing on the city wall, crackling with a loud sound, countless wall bricks were crumbled, two shells hit the city gate tower one after another, and the majestic city gate tower collapsed with a bang.

More than 200 artillery pieces have been bombarded for a long time, although the wall bricks have collapsed a lot, but the entire structure has not been damaged, thanks to the Khitans, if they hadn't strengthened Datong Mansion so well, how could they withstand the bombardment of more than 200 artillery pieces so uninterrupted?

Seeing that the city wall was still under the bombardment of artillery fire, Yeyu Hucheng couldn't help but scold angrily: "It's so well repaired, but it's cheaper than Yan Yun, how can it really be reasonable!" Ye Yu Longqing, who was in the army, couldn't help but feel ashamed, the city wall of Datong Mansion was strengthened at a great cost, and he originally planned to use it as a Jincheng soup pool to resist Yan Yunjun's army, but he didn't expect it to become a hard nail to hinder his side, it is really not as good as heaven.

The artillery continued to bombard for a while, and when Yeyurhucheng saw that it was a waste of ammunition to continue like this, he ordered the artillery group to stop bombarding. The roar of the artillery gradually stopped.

But at this moment, there was a sudden surge of smoke and fire on the city wall, and then the huge roar of artillery reached the ears of the Khitan soldiers. The officers and men of the Khitan army did not react for a while, thinking that it was the loud noise of their own artillery. However, before this thought was finished, the cannonballs flying from the city wall fell into the middle of the artillery group, and in an instant, I saw the dust and flesh flying, and the artillery was smashed to pieces by the whistling shells! The artillery of the Khitan army crawled around and made a mess! It turned out that the flaws in the western city wall were actually deliberately exposed by Cao Jun, and he did this in order to lure Yelu Hucheng to concentrate all the artillery in this direction, so that he could gather and annihilate it. While deliberately exposing the flaws, Cao Jun also secretly moved the artillery onto the city wall, leaned on the inside, covered it with tarpaulin, and could not be seen outside the city at all.

A round of firepower rushed over, only to see that the original location of the Khitan artillery group was in a mess, and the originally very powerful artillery pieces were lying on the ground in all directions, and there were many broken corpses of the Khitan army. The officers and men of the Khitan army were extremely shocked when they saw such a scene.

Yeron Tiger City was the first to react and roared urgently; "Hurry up and salvage the artillery now!"

The artillery of the Khitan army, together with some infantry troops, hurriedly rushed forward, preparing to rescue the intact artillery before the Yanyun army's artillery could be used again.

At this moment, countless fireworks appeared on the city wall, and then an earth-shattering roar came. The Khitan soldiers were shocked, and Yeyu Hucheng exclaimed, "Why is it so fast? "Hehe, it is indeed impossible for the ancient artillery to be so fast, but Cao Jun thought of a clever way to divide all the artillery into two parts, and fire one after another, the artillery that bombarded the enemy's artillery array just now was actually only half of the number, and the other half was ready to fire but did not fire, just waiting for the enemy to come out to rescue the artillery, and then they fired together to catch him off guard.

The officers and men of the Khitan army were rescuing the artillery, but they did not expect the opponent's artillery fire to come, and they saw blood and flesh flying everywhere, and the artillery and infantry did not care about rescuing the artillery, and they all hugged their heads and ran away.

The second round of firepower caused heavy losses to the Khitan army, and the loss of personnel was secondary, and the most unbearable thing for Yeyu Hucheng was that the precious artillery was destroyed a lot. Yeyurhucheng strictly ordered the sergeants to come forward to rescue the artillery, and the sergeants were forced by the pressure of military law, so they had no choice but to step forward, and they suffered heavy casualties under Yan Yun's artillery fire, but they could not save the artillery.

The Yanyun army's artillery bombarded in turn, and the Khitan army could only watch as their artillery was destroyed, but there was nothing they could do. When everything calmed down, the artillery positions of the Khitan army were only left with wreckage all over the ground, the wreckage of the artillery and the wreckage of the Khitan soldiers, which was shocking. Both of Tiger City's eyes were almost spewing fire, but what could be done?

At the same time, the other two directions were also rumbling with cannons, and although Yelu Tiger City didn't see the situation in the other two directions, he knew that the situation must be bad when he heard the sound. Although he wanted to fight with Yan Yunjun, reason told him that he had to stop attacking. Forced himself to suppress his anger, he ordered all directions of attack to stop the attack and return to the camp. A big battle was over, and the Khitan army had lost more than the previous days combined, but it did not make the slightest progress.

The atmosphere in the big tent of the Khitan army was extremely depressing, no one made a sound, many generals didn't have much hope for breaking through Datong Mansion, and felt that the Yanyun army's artillery was too powerful, and their own artillery was almost completely destroyed, how could this battle be fought?

Ye Hu Cheng stood up, and the generals' hearts sank, and their heads hung even lower. However, Yelu Tiger City did not get angry, but walked to the sand table in the middle of the big tent, looked at the terrain on the sand table, and thought. Suddenly, his expression moved, and he pointed his finger at Yuhe, "Yuhe!" I've got a way! The generals glanced at the river, but they didn't know what was going on.

Ye Hu Cheng said to Han Chang: "Han Chang, you immediately lead your ten thousand soldiers to a place thirty miles upstream, build a dam, and stop the river!" All the generals were battlefield generals, and after listening to Ye Hu Cheng's words, they immediately understood Ye Hu Cheng's intentions, and their eyes lit up, and Han Chang excitedly saluted. Ye Hu Cheng said to Xiao Gan again: "Xiao Gan will not leave, you lead 10,000 war horses to protect Han Chang, just in case!" "I can't leave my promise.

"Li Yanqi, you lead your five thousand foot soldiers to dig a diversion channel outside the northern city of Datong." Li Yanqi came out to promise. Ye Hu Cheng glanced at the three of them and said, "The sooner this matter, the better. Han Chang and Xiao Gan are inseparable, you two will act tonight, don't be perceived by Yan Yunjun! The two of them said yes and immediately left the tent.

What did Tiger City come up with? You might as well take a guess. Hehe, you guessed it, it's a water attack. At this time, it is about to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, the climate is dry, and the Yuhe River is not a big river, just a tributary of the Sanggan River, it is very convenient to repair the dam and hold back the water, there is no problem, 10,000 people work day and night, a simple dam can be built after three days, and after ten days, the dam can accumulate enough water. At that time, when the dam is opened, the river water that is bound upstream will rush out in an instant, rushing downstream with the infinite power of pulling up the mountains and destroying the withered and decaying, and the diversion channel dug by Li Yanqi can ensure that such a force will be directed to Datong Mansion.

This strategy of water attack has been used frequently in China and abroad from ancient times to the present, and it can be regarded as a use of the power of nature. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao destroyed LΓΌ Bu's battle, LΓΌ Bu's last city could not be attacked for a long time, so Cao Cao thought of a way to go down the jug; During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Nationalist Government did something similar, digging the Yellow River, but it was to retreat and stop the enemy rather than attack, and China's losses were much greater than Japan's.

Yelu Tiger City looked at the sand table and thought carefully for a moment, trying to find the loophole in this plan, thinking for a while, only to feel that this water attack plan can be said to be invulnerable. If Cao Jun didn't find out, then when the water poured into Datong Mansion, he might not know what was going on; If he had realized it in advance, it would have been fine, he would have to risk leading his army out of the city to attack my dammed army, and then he would have been able to kill him on the way. In short, as soon as this water attack plan comes out, it is convenient to be invincible.

Tiger City smiled confidently. However, Yang Peng's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and his anger surged suddenly, his heart suddenly sudden, he frowned, and muttered: "You must beware of him attacking my dam-building army!" As soon as he thought of this, he ordered Xiao Lou to lead 20,000 cavalry to the east bank of the Yuhe River to guard against Yang Peng and the Xuanjia army that came and went without a trace, and then assigned tasks to the rest of the generals, guarding the guard camp of the camp, and ambushing the halfway of the ambush.

After the arrangement was completed, the generals of the Tiger City retreated, returned to the main seat and sat down. Exhaustion came up uncontrollably, and I couldn't help but close my eyes and gently rub my temples. At this moment, there was the sound of hurried footsteps at the door. Yelu Hucheng opened his eyes and saw a very strong young general in his twenties rushing in. The incomparably stern and fierce face of Ya Yu Tiger City immediately revealed a loving expression.

The young general ran to the front of Yelu Tiger City and bowed, "Grandson, meet grandpa!" "It turned out that this young general turned out to be the most beloved grandson of Ye Hu City, Ye Yu Pingnan.

Ye Hu Cheng said: "Get up." Jerepinnan stood up.

Yelu Hucheng asked, "Didn't you encounter an enemy when you escorted grain and grass?" Ye Pingnan shook his head, "I haven't even seen a ghost!" Grandpa, I really want to see what kind of Yan King is, I want to see if his horse lance is strong, or my mace is stronger! ”

Yeron Tiger City laughed, "Good! My grandson has this ambition, and my grandfather is very pleased! Then he frowned, "But if you meet Yang Peng, you must not be reckless!" Yang Peng, the king of Yan, is brave and invincible, you are not his opponent! If you meet him, you must win with many, and you must not fight with him alone! Ye Yu Pingnan was very unconvinced, "Grandpa looks down on his grandson, and his grandson has to prove it to grandpa!" Ye Hu Cheng said sharply: "Grandpa's words, you must remember, you must not act recklessly!" Ye Yu Pingnan was shocked, he had never seen his grandfather speak to himself so fiercely! Although he was still unconvinced, he didn't dare to oppose his grandfather, and nodded, "Got it." ”

Ye Hu Cheng's expression softened, "Grandson, your martial arts are indeed rare among the younger generation!" However, there is still a distance compared to the Yan King! You still need time! ”

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