Chapter 346, the soldiers turned
Ye Hu Cheng snorted coldly and looked at Xiao Lou's room, "Xiao Lou's room, I'll give you 150,000 soldiers and horses, and you will suppress the Yanyun army of Datong Mansion for me!" Xiao Lou bowed and promised. Immediately, Ye Yu Hucheng roared fiercely: "The rest of the army will follow me south to track Yang Peng, and if you don't kill Yang Peng, you will not withdraw your troops!" The generals roared in unison: "If you don't kill Yang Peng, you swear not to withdraw your troops!" ”
Immediately, the order was passed down from Yelu Hucheng, and the army stopped attacking the city and collected its troops and returned to the camp.
Xiao Gan hurriedly found Xiao Lou's room, and said with some complaints: "Brother, why didn't you dissuade the king just now, but instead echoed his decision?" Can't you see that this is Yang Peng's strategy? Xiao Lou said with a wry smile: "You also saw the situation just now, the crowd is excited, and the king is even more angry!" Nothing will be useful to say! Xiao Gan frowned and said, "Then you can't say nothing!" The situation is very clear, Yang Peng used the method of agitation to transfer the main energy of our army from Datong Mansion to Yanmen Pass! Yanmen Pass, the world's Xiongguan, a husband is a pass, and now there are more than 100,000 Yanyun elite guards, although our army is huge, it is difficult to break through Yanmen Pass! Our army has exhausted its sharpness and grain and grass under the Yanmen Pass, and I am afraid that it will not be able to attack the Yanmen Pass, and Datong Mansion may still be in the hands of Yan Yun! We pay such a heavy price that we end up with nothing but nothing! ”
Xiao Lou nodded, "You're right. But the king is mad now, and no matter how reasonable the reasoning you say, he can't listen to it! ”
After a pause, "I mean, it's better to follow his wishes than to go against the king in a senseless way." As long as the king touches the nail under the Yanmen Pass, he will definitely calm down and reconsider the strategy. At that time, if we try to persuade again, there will be no problem! Xiao Lou said.
Xiao Gan frowned, nodded slowly, and sighed, "Now it's all about this!" Then he couldn't help but say, "It would be nice if the princess was still here!" Xiao Lou couldn't help but feel the same way, and muttered: "I don't know where the princess has fled now?" He frowned, "There are rumors that the princess became the princess of Yanwang, but I don't know if it's true or not?" Xiao Gan said categorically: "That's impossible!" It must be a rumor spread by villains with ulterior motives! Hmph, I think all the charges put on the princess's head are false, all of them were framed by others, and I never believe that the princess will be guilty of trouble! If she really wants to commit rebellion and seek the throne, who can stop her? I don't believe that she will marry the great enemy of our Great Liao Kingdom, Yang Peng! ”
Xiao Lou nodded, "That's a good point!" Another point, if the princess really did the things in the crime, why did she flee and come back on her own initiative? None of this can be justified! Ay! But it's too late to say anything, and the princess will definitely not come back! Xiao Gan is very depressed, he only thinks that if the princess is still there, the situation of the Great Liao Kingdom will never come to such a point now, the king is brave and invincible, and he also has resourcefulness, but the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, he can't control his irritable and impulsive emotions, the opponent is someone else, it's okay to say, but the opponent is like the fierce and cunning Yan Yunjun, this shortcoming of the king is enough to kill.
Yang Peng led the Xuanjia army to hide in a mountain, forest and valley, and a scout galloped from the north, went straight to Yang Peng, turned over and dismounted, knelt down and said: "Qiyu Yan King, the Khitan army suddenly changed its deployment!" Yelu Hucheng left Lou Room and 150,000 soldiers and horses to suppress Datong Mansion, and he himself led the main army to the south, as if he wanted to encircle and suppress us! ”
Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "This Yelang Tiger City can't afford to be stimulated, just such a bag of women's clothes and pants will make him mess up!" Okay, if he wants to encircle and suppress us, it can't be better, so we'll lead them to Yanmen Pass! Looking at Zhan Jinguo, "Jin Guo, act now!" Zhan Jinguo hugged his fists and promised.
Soon after, the Liao army surrounded Yang Peng and them according to the information from the scouts. Yang Peng and the others left the hiding place, and did not go south immediately, but first provoked the Khitan army, and then swaggered towards Yanmen Pass. Ye Hu Cheng just wanted to catch Yang Peng immediately and cut him with a thousand knives before he could relieve his hatred! With anger in his heart, he kept urging the army to speed up and track Yan Yunjun's army all the way south. In order to lure the Khitan army, Yang Peng made contact with the Khitan army from time to time, maintaining a state of imminent departure. The Khitan army couldn't catch the Xuanjia army, and unconsciously, the Liao army was getting farther and farther away from Datong Mansion, but it was getting closer and closer to Yanmen Pass.
Yang Peng led the Xuanjia Army to Yanmen Pass, bypassed Xiao Hong's Khitan military camp, passed through the Black Dragon Pond, and then entered the reckless mountains. More than 2,000 people marched along the winding and rugged path towards Yanmen Pass. More than half an hour later, came to a halfway up the mountainside, suddenly heard a scream of 'Xiu', and then saw many troops on the steep and abnormal hillside, in this case, the side on the mountain road can only be beaten and unable to fight back, it is really a man who can not open a thousand people!
Yang Peng and the others reined in their horses, and Zhan Jinguo shouted: "King Yan has arrived!" I saw that the soldiers on the hillside knelt down one after another: "Meet King Yan!" Their voices echoed among the mountains: "Meet King Yan!" Meet the Yan King! ……”
Yang Peng raised his voice and said: "Brothers have worked hard! The soldiers on the hillside couldn't help but get excited. Yang Peng led the Xuanjia Army through the steep and abnormal mountain road and headed towards Yanmen Pass. In this steep mountainous area, the Yanmen Pass between the two mountains is the main passage, but it is not the only passage, there are many extremely dangerous sheep intestine trails in the peaks and mountains on both sides of the Yanmen Pass, two of which can bypass the Yanmen Pass. The main force of the Yanyun army was stationed in Yanmen Pass, and defensive forces were also arranged in the two mountain passes, although the defensive force was not much, but with this extremely steep terrain, it could also be ensured. In addition, Yan Yunjun set up lookout posts on several of the highest peaks in the Yanmen Mountains as a precautionary measure.
When the group returned to Yanmen Pass, the girls who had been worried saw Yang Peng, and the heart that was always uneasy finally let go. Han Bing couldn't help but complain: "That kind of thing can obviously be done by General Zhan, why do you have to do it yourself!" Yang Peng held Han Bing's slender hand and said softly: "I'm worried about you!" Han Bing was shy in his heart, withdrew his palm, and said with a red face: "I'm not worried about you!" Glancing at the other women, "It's just that they worry about it day and night!" ”
Yelu Hanyu smiled: "Han Bing is hard-mouthed, in fact, she misses her eldest brother the most!" I remember that at noon that day, someone fell asleep in the big tent, but kept calling for big brother! That voice is really heart-wrenching! Han Bing was embarrassed, and said angrily: "You are too bad!" I promised not to tell outsiders, but I didn't keep my promise! ”
Yelu Hanyu's beautiful eyes glanced at Yang Peng, and said with a look of surprise: "Big brother, is he also an outsider?" I don't know! Yang Jiumei and Yang Erya pursed their lips and laughed.
Han Bing couldn't say anything about her, so he poured his anger on Yang Peng's head: "It's all your fault!" Yang Peng nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes!" It's all to blame on the big brother, the big brother is the worst! Han Bing was happy in his heart, and glanced at Yang Peng, "Scoundrel!" Yang Peng's heart fluttered, and then he smiled: "Okay, let's talk about business!" When the girls heard this, they all restrained their smiles and straightened their expressions.
Yang Peng said: "I didn't expect Ye Yu Hucheng to be so impulsive, and I was slightly stimulated by me so many times, so he stopped attacking Datong, and turned south, chasing my ass until Yanmen Pass!" When the girls heard what Yang Peng said interestingly, they couldn't help but smile lightly. Han Bing said: "It's really good that Ye Hu City gave up attacking Datong Mansion!" If they still besiege Datong Mansion with all their might, it will be dangerous, come to fight Yanmen Pass, but they are not afraid of him! The women nodded in agreement. Yelu Hanyu frowned; "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Ye Hu Cheng will finally wake up, give up attacking Yanmen Pass, and continue to besiege Datong Mansion!"
Yang Peng frowned, he felt that this possibility definitely existed, after all, Ye Yu Hucheng was a famous general of the Liao State, naturally not a mediocre person, he made a wrong decision in anger for a while, he was afraid that he would not continue to be wrong, and he would definitely wake up, this is like Cao Mengde who fell for Zhou Yu's counter-plot to kill Cai Mao and Zhang Yun by mistake, and Cao Cao immediately woke up afterwards, but the head had already moved and could not come back, Cao Cao had to swallow this bitter fruit. But there is one thing that Yang Peng has never figured out, he has seen Ye Yu Hucheng, although he is rude, but he is by no means a reckless and unscrupulous person, how can the king of Liao State be an easy person? But how could a few letters and a pack of women's clothes and pants make him so excited?
Yang Peng said the doubts in his heart, and the women also felt incredible. Yelu Hanyu frowned and said: "When Da Liao was still there, I fought against this Yelu Hucheng on the battlefield several times, although this person is brave and invincible, but he is not a brave and resourceless horseman, to say that he will be desperate to fight with the eldest brother for a few letters that ridiculed him and a pack of women's underwear, it is really unbelievable!" ”
Yang Jiumei smiled: "I don't think it's strange! This kind of person is brave and strategic, but he is extremely proud, the letters of the eldest brother and the woman's underwear are nothing in our opinion, but in his opinion, I am afraid that it is an unbearable insult! That's why he gave up attacking Datong Mansion and turned to chase after his eldest brother, wanting to fight hard! Yang Erya nodded, "Sister Nine is right!" ”
glanced at Yang Peng and said with a smile: "They have far more troops than us, and it is not impossible to directly attack Yanmen Pass!" Yang Peng smiled and said, "That's it!" Glancing at the women, he said with a smile: "We don't force anything, if Yeyu Tiger City fights hard to attack Yanmen Pass, then we will implement the plan I just said; If we are wrong, Ta Yeyu Hucheng is not a person who wants to save face at all, and leads the army back to attack Datong Mansion, then we will act according to the original plan! We have made up our minds, and we will take corresponding countermeasures just by looking at the actions of the enemy! The women smiled and nodded.
Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng, "More cunning than a fox, but more fierce than a tiger!" All the women smiled, and their eyes drifted towards Yang Peng.
Yang Peng laughed, "Mei'er, I'm praising me when you're doing it!" Yelu Hanyu pursed his lips and smiled, and said coquettishly: "People originally praised you!" ”
At the same time, Yelu Hucheng led a large army to Yanmen Pass and joined Xiao Hong. Yelu Hucheng listened to Xiao Hong's report in the big tent, and the whole person fell into deep thought. As Yang Peng expected, although Ye Hu Cheng was blinded by anger for a while, he had regained his sanity at this moment, although he still wanted to cut Yang Peng's bones to ashes with a thousand knives in his heart, but reason had already gained the upper hand. Ye Hu Cheng felt a little regretful in his heart, regretting that he should not have hastily changed his original strategy because of a moment of anger.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Yu Hucheng raised his head and said to the generals: "Some people think that I changed my original plan to go south in order to avenge Yang Peng's personal revenge...... His eyes glanced at the generals, "Those people are wrong!" The reason why I am like this is not for personal vendetta, the purpose of going south is not for Yang Peng, but to capture Yanmen Pass, in order to completely defeat the Yanyun army! When the generals heard this, they were a little surprised and could not help but look at each other. Ye Hu Cheng continued: "I have thought carefully before deciding that the army will go south, there is no problem in recapturing Datong Mansion, but how much effect is it in recapturing a Datong Mansion? Only by seizing the Yanmen Pass can our Great Liao State regain the initiative! Seize Yanmen Pass, the Yanyun army in Datong Mansion will naturally become a turtle in the urn, and it is only a matter of time before Datong Mansion recovers, more importantly, we have achieved a very favorable defensive posture, and at the same time obtained a very important forward base, in the future, it is not how we defend against Yanyun Army, but how they defend the iron hooves of our Great Liao Kingdom! ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help but be persuaded by his own words; When the generals heard Ye Hu Cheng's words, they all had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and felt that what the king said was really very reasonable? What's the use of capturing a Datong Mansion, it's better to take the Yanmen Pass!
Seeing that all the generals were showing joy and convincing, Yelu Hucheng couldn't help but feel more confident in his heart, and raised his voice: "The army will rest for a day and a night, and then take Yanmen Pass!" The generals responded in unison, and the sound was like thunder, showing that the hearts of the generals were full of confidence and desire.
And the generals left the horde and returned to their camps. Da Lazy came to a prisoner car, and the prisoner imprisoned in the prisoner car turned out to be Xiao Gan, the general of the Liao State, what happened? It turned out that he had been persuading Yehu Hucheng all the way not to ruin the country's major affairs because of his private abolition, and finally angered Yehu Hucheng, who was angry and wanted to kill him, but fortunately, the generals pleaded, and Yehu Hucheng spared him from death, but removed all his positions, put him into the prisoner car, and said that he would wait until the defeat of Yan Yunjun to deal with him, so Xiao Gan did not leave and followed the army all the way south in the prison car. However, although he was in the prison car, he still did not forget his responsibility, and still advised Yelu Hucheng through various channels, but his advice has not been echoed.
Xiao Gan couldn't leave his eyes when he saw Da Lazy coming, and said hurriedly: "Brother, tell me quickly, doesn't the king plan to attack Datong back?" ”
Da Lazy walked to the prisoner cart and said, "Brother, don't be too stubborn!" I think the king's decision is still very reasonable! ”
Xiao Gan said angrily: "How do you call it reasonable?" ”
Da lazy said: "That Yanmen Pass is the key key, the soldiers must fight for the key, as long as the Yanmen Pass is captured, not only the Datong Mansion will be recovered, but the strategic situation between us and Yanyun will also undergo a fundamental change, isn't this a very beneficial thing for our Great Liao State?" ”
Xiao Gan shook his head, "How can I not understand what you said?" "Glancing at Da Lazy, "But the question is, can we take Yanmen Pass?" Da lazy said: "There should be no problem, our army is nearly 600,000 troops, and Yanmen Pass is only 120,000 Yanyun troops, and we are almost five times as many as them!" With such an advantage, can't you still conquer Yanmen Pass? ”
Xiao Gan shook his head and said: "I don't dare to say that I will never be able to attack Yanmen Pass, but this approach is very risky!" Even if we can capture Yanmen Pass, the price our army will pay is unbearable! We don't just have the problem of Yan Yunjun, we also have the problem of the Mongols, and we have the problem of Goryeo! If our army's losses here are too great, what if there is an accident in the other two directions! ”
Da Lazy frowned and thought about it, and said to Xiao Gan: "What you said also makes sense, but the current priority is a war with Yan Yun. You can't be afraid of other enemies and stick your hands here, right? My opinion is different from yours, I think we should go all out to solve Yanyun's problem first, and it's okay to lose a lot of money, otherwise once there is a problem in other directions, we will be attacked on our backs! Seeing that Xiao Gan couldn't listen to him, and still wanted to talk about his set, he hurriedly said: "Brother, I still have something to do, so I'll go, and I'll come to see you again when I have time." Then he turned and left.
Xiao Gan raised his head, sighed, looked at the dim sky in a daze, and muttered: "If Yan Yunjun was so easy to deal with, our Great Liao Kingdom would not have reached such a point now!" Ay! I hope God willing, the king can successfully attack Yanmen Pass! If that's the case, then it's really the luck of our Great Liao Kingdom! ”
Ye Hu Cheng sat in the big tent and looked at the report, raised his head and asked Xiao Yegan, a trusted general standing below: "Our army has 550,000 horses, and grain and grass are a big problem. You immediately send someone to inform Xiao Lou's room and ask them to transfer as much grain and grass as possible. Xiao Ye responded and ran down. As mentioned earlier, Xiao Lou led 150,000 soldiers and horses to stay outside Datong Mansion to suppress the Yan Yun Army in Datong Mansion, and at the same time, the matter of transporting grain and grass also fell on him.
Yelu Hucheng stood up, walked out of the big tent, and looked at the majestic and precipitous Guancheng in the distance. Suddenly, he saw a small black dot, I don't know why, he immediately knew that he was Yang Peng, anger couldn't help but swelled up in his heart, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and he muttered: "Yang Peng, I will definitely not let you go!" I'm going to tear your body into pieces to pay tribute to my grandson's soul in heaven!" ”
Yang Peng stood on the city wall, as if he felt the anger of Ye Hu City, he felt inexplicable in his heart, and said with a smile: "Ye Hu City, is your qi too narrow!" So angry for a few letters and a pack of women's underwear! But that's fine, hate me so much, I really can't ask for it! ”
The time of the day passed quickly, early in the morning, the horn of the Khitan army sounded earth-shatteringly, the earth-yellow tide on the earth covered by clouds appeared from afar, slowly approaching the Yanmen Pass, the earth was trembling, and there was a thunderous sound in the ears.
The city gate opened suddenly, and two thousand Xuanjia soldiers rushed out of the gate surrounded Yang Peng and other Yan Yun warriors, and lined up against the city wall to form a battle formation, at the same time, Han Bing stood on the wall, leading the Yan Yun soldiers with bows and crossbows to line up in several rows, waiting for the battle, and the war drums sounded slowly but very powerfully.
Soon after, the Liao army approached 500 steps in front of the wall, stopped, and the sound of the horn stopped at the same time, and the heaven and earth were slaughtered.
A very majestic Liao army general, carrying a mace, galloped out of the military formation, came between the two armies, and shouted: "Yang Peng, I want to kill you!" Come out! "That imposing Khitan general is none other than the Liao country's protector king Ye Hu Cheng, he saw Yang Peng leading the army to battle from a distance, so he immediately couldn't control his emotions and personally came out to challenge!
Yang Peng smiled: "This old man has such a big temper! As soon as the words fell, a figure next to him rushed out. Yang Peng hurriedly looked over and saw that it was Yang Jing, this guy didn't ride a horse, he was on foot, and rushed up with a pair of pure steel plate axes. This guy originally had a horse, but he was born to ride a horse, and after being thrown by a war horse a few times, he finally became furious, and cut his mount into two pieces with an axe, and since then he has never ridden a horse again, and he is also the only general in Yang Peng's army who fights on foot.
I saw Yang Jing running to Ye Yu Hucheng, his legs were forked, he lifted the plate axe and pointed at Ye Yu Hucheng and said: "You are not qualified to let my eldest brother make a move, I Yang Jing will take your dog's life!" ”
Ye Hu Cheng was already very angry, and seeing Yang Jing's rude words, even if he couldn't control himself and rushed towards Yang Jing, his mace was raised high, and he was about to smash Yang Jing into a mashed meat, which was menacing!
Yang Jing's eyes lit up, and he greeted him with a strange scream, looking very excited. In the blink of an eye, the two sides met, and the mace in the hand of Ye Hu Cheng roared and smashed down on the head, and the power was so great that it seemed to be able to shatter the mountains. At the last moment, I saw Yang Jing swing the plate axe in his right hand, and the plate axe in his left hand went straight towards the opponent's horse hooves! With a loud bang, the mace smashed on the plate axe in his right hand, and the strong and powerful force smashed Li Kui's majestic body to the side, and the plate axe in his left hand could not cut the opponent's horse's hooves, and he was cut a few inches away.
After all, what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
