Chapter 349, Flame Retreats from the Enemy

The 80,000 Yanyun army cavalry was divided into two parts, one part of the nearly 30,000 cavalry in front, and the other part, 50,000 infantry in the rear, Yang Peng personally commanded the 30,000 cavalry to rush to the Eagle Sorrow Stream, through a valley to a basin surrounded by high mountains. And at this moment, there was a roar in the col opposite, and countless earthy yellow waves poured out, and it turned out to be the Khitan army war horse!

When the two sides suddenly met, they were both surprised. When the brave wins on the narrow road, Yang Peng raised his iron lance and shouted: "Rush with me!" Yan Yun's war cavalry shouted in unison, and followed Yang Peng towards the Khitan army on the opposite side. Xiao Yegan reacted, and there was no choice and hurriedly led the army to meet the battle. The two sides were equal in number of horsemen, rushing up in the basin like two mountain torrents, and the 240,000 iron hooves shook the mountains and trembled.

In the blink of an eye, the two warhorses slammed into each other, making a series of loud, thrilling loud noises, and the knights fell off their horses one after another, and were instantly drowned in the rolling iron hoof wave.

Yang Peng took the lead, the black dragon horse leaped like a dragon, the iron horse lance in Yang Peng's hand opened and closed, setting off a rain of blood, where people turned on their horses, no one was his general, Zhan Jinguo, Huyan Chijin and other fierce generals also marched forward bravely in the enemy army, bloody battles, killing people and horses, all the soldiers followed Yan Yun and the fierce generals to move forward, sacrificing their lives to fight! However, the soldiers of the Khitan army are not a bad breed, they scream strangely, and rush desperately on horseback, and the succession is endless! Xiang Meng, who led the way for Yan Yunjun, saw such a magnificent and tragic battle, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and an unprecedented excitement surged into his heart, it seemed to be a nature hidden in the depths of his blood!

Yang Peng didn't know how many enemies he had killed, and when he looked up, he saw an enemy general who was shouting in front of him and directing the Jin army to fight, Yang Peng didn't know him, but he was obviously the head of this Khitan army. Yang Peng immediately did not hesitate, and rode his horse towards him!

The Khitan soldiers flocked to him, Yang Peng let go of the horse's reins, controlled the horse with only his legs, and killed it with both hands with his iron horse lance, the cold light of the horse lance flickered and whistling, and he picked up more than a dozen enemy soldiers in a row. At this moment, I saw four enemy generals holding their blades and roaring towards them, Yang Peng's heart was even more boiling, and he rushed forward with a shout, and his hands moved the horse lance to sweep towards the two enemy generals at the head with a thunderous momentum, and the two enemy generals saw that Yang Peng's move was extremely fierce, and they were taken aback, and hurriedly raised their blades to block. I only heard a loud bang, and the enemy general on the left was the first to take the move, only to feel the majestic power of the other party surging, and the weapon could not be grasped, and the whole person fell backwards.

The iron lance smashed over the enemy general on the left, castration continued, and then smashed on the blade of the enemy general on the right, and the enemy general trembled violently, like a leaf swaying in the wind.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Peng's war horse was side by side with the enemy general, and at this time, Yang Peng had already turned the iron horse lance and smashed it towards the enemy general from the other direction. The enemy general was unable to react, and was hit in the back by the front end of the iron lance, and flew forward with a scream. The other two enemy generals were horrified when they saw their two companions being shot down from their horses in the blink of an eye, and because one of their companions had fallen in front of their horses, they quickly reined in their horses.

Yang Peng's black dragon foal did not stop, trampling on the body of the enemy general who fell to the ground, and the sound of flesh and bones shattering made people's scalps tingle. The two enemy generals saw that Yang Peng was coming fiercely, and they were frightened, but they also rushed up to meet them, roaring loudly, seeing that the two sides met, and the two weapons swept towards Yang Peng on the left and right. At the last moment, Yang Peng leaned back, and two weapons flew over him.

The two sides staggered, Yang Peng quickly straightened his waist, did not turn around, his backhand was a lance, and with a pop, the horse lance pierced the body of the Khitan general on the right. Yang Peng felt a blow, pulled out the horse lance with his right hand, and turned the horse's head with his left hand violently. At this time, the remaining enemy general also turned around, and saw that he was the only one left, and he was very frightened, but the glory of being a military general of the Great Liao State made him still face Yang Peng.

The Khitan army warrior Yuan widened his eyes, shouted, and rode his horse towards Yang Peng. Yang Peng stood in place and carried the iron horse lance, without any movement, like a stone statue! In the blink of an eye, the Khitan army general rushed in front of Yang Peng, shouted, and swept towards Yang Peng with a knife! At this moment, the cold light flashed in Yang Peng's hand, and the iron horse lance flew up from the bottom up, and the latter came first, cutting off the opponent's right arm with a click, and the blood flew into the sky with the broken arm and the big knife. Yang Peng shook his hand, and the iron horse lance drew an arc and stabbed the opponent's chest! There was a thud, and the Khitan army general was stabbed in the heart! The surrounding Khitan soldiers couldn't help but be shocked when they saw Yang Peng defeat his four fierce generals in a blink of an eye!

Yang Peng used his arms to pick up the corpse of the Khitan general, threw it towards Xiao Yegan, and fell into the middle of the Khitan army with a snort, and the Khitan soldiers were in a panic. Yang Peng took the opportunity to ride his horse and rushed up, and the horse lance flew up and down, killing the corpses of the Khitan soldiers and soldiers in a mess!

Seeing that Yang Peng was fierce and unstoppable, all the Khitan soldiers around Xiao Yegan rushed up to try to stop Yang Peng. Hundreds of thousands of horsemen surrounded Yang Peng to fight, roaring again and again, in the middle of the battle circle, only to see flesh and blood flying on their backs, although Yang Peng's castration was stopped, but hundreds of Khitan soldiers could not get close to him within a battle.

The core of the Khitan army was stirred by Yang Peng, and the army in front was shaken, but the soldiers of Yanyun were becoming more and more courageous, attacking more and more fiercely, stepping on blood and corpses to move forward bravely, the Khitan army's losses were getting bigger and bigger, and they gradually couldn't resist! Finally, the Khitan army began to retreat uncontrollably, they didn't want to retreat, but they really couldn't resist the heavy and surging pressure of the Yanyun army, although the Khitan army tried its best to fight, but it felt that the strength was not caught and could not resist, the entire front, the entire army slowly retreated, but although the situation was unfavorable for the Khitan army, they were still gritting their teeth and insisting, although the Yanyun army used all its strength, but still failed to crush the Khitan army, the tenacity of the Khitan army is really admirable!

At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed: "The flag has fallen!" The flag is down!! Shouting in Khitan language, all the Khitan soldiers panicked, and quickly turned their heads to look at the rear, but found that the flag was still good. However, it was like this when he lost his mind, he couldn't resist the onslaught of Yan Yun's army, and the front line collapsed first, only to see Yan Yun's war cavalry rushing like a withered and decaying horse. At this moment, the Khitan soldiers finally felt that they could not support it, and part of the Khitan army broke and fled first, and this situation was quickly transmitted to the whole army, and in a blink of an eye, the whole army broke and fled, and the situation was out of control! Fighting a war is about morale, and once morale is lost, this battle will not be able to be fought!

Yan Yun's rank chased and killed, and went straight into the mountain col, without stopping, chasing and killing all the way until he was in front of a mountain stream that was dangerously secluded. I saw that tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry were waiting in front of the mountain stream, and the fleeing Khitan cavalry rushed over to join them. Yan Yunjun stopped. Xiang Meng pointed to the mountain stream in front of him and said, "King Yan, there is the Eagle Sorrow Stream!" Yang Peng nodded. At this time, 30,000 Yanyun war horses were gathering one after another, but there were Khitan army war horses coming out of the mountain stream, and there were more and more Khitan army war horses in front of the mountain stream, and the figure of Tiefutu also appeared.

Yang Peng frowned and asked, "When will the Broken Formation Iron Cavalry come up?" Huyan Chijin said: "I'm afraid it will be better for a while!" ”

Yang Peng looked ahead, saw that the enemy army was coming much faster than his own, and felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so he raised his iron horse lance and shouted: "Brothers, follow me, charge!" Yan Yun's war horses shouted in unison, and followed Yang Peng to urge the war horse to rush up. The Khitan army originally planned to strictly guard the exit of the mountain stream, and wait for the army to come up and defeat the Yanyun army in one go, but seeing that the Yanyun war cavalry launched a charge, they had no choice but to charge, the cavalry was like this, and the charge must be dealt with by charging, otherwise it will be difficult for the static side to resist the impact of the opponent.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided together, and a scuffle broke out. The sound of horses' hooves, roars, screams, and the clashing of swords echoed through the mountains. The Khitan army has more than twice as many horsemen as the Yanyun army, although the soldiers of the Yanyun army are all fearless and desperate to charge, but the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Yanyun army, and there are more and more Khitan troops coming out of the mountain stream, which makes the balance of power between the two sides continue to develop in a direction that is not favorable to the Yanyun army. Yan Yun tried his best to fight and charge, Yang Peng, Zhan Jinguo, Huyan Chijin and other fierce generals all took the lead, but these could not reverse the unfavorable situation in front of them at all, and the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for Yan Yunjun! If the situation continues like this, Yan Yunjun is only afraid that sooner or later it will be defeated!

Yang Peng saw that no matter how much he rushed, he couldn't turn the situation around, so he couldn't help but restrain his war horse, forced himself to calm down, and told himself that the more he was at this time, the more calm he became. Looking over the battlefield of the tragic battle, scanning the surrounding mountains, the vegetation of the Yanmen mountains is sparse, that is only relatively, in fact, the vegetation is still very much, although there are not many tall trees, but there are clumps of shrubs and pieces of weeds that are waist-length to the human waist, it is autumn at this time, the climate is dry, and the mountain wind blows all dry breath.

Yang Peng's heart moved, and he immediately called Wang Kai and gave him some instructions. Wang Kai loudly agreed, and then led dozens of secret guards down.

Yang Peng's attention returned to the battlefield in front of him, and he rushed in to continue fighting, but he looked a little absent-minded, although he was fighting on the battlefield, his attention was paid to the periphery from time to time.

There are more and more Khitan army cavalry coming from the mountain stream, the offensive of the Khitan army is becoming more and more fierce, and the morale is getting stronger and stronger.

The momentum of the Khitan army is like a rainbow, and the offensive is like a tide, and everyone is fighting bravely, eager to defeat the Yanyun army in one fell swoop! And the development of the war situation seems to be getting closer and closer to the expectations of the Khitan army, although the Yanyun army is the world's best choice, but the Khitan army is not a bad breed, not to mention that their strength is several times that of the Yanyun army, and the Yanyun army is gradually unable to support it!

Suddenly, a fiery snake suddenly sprang up at the foot of the mountain on the left, and many people noticed this situation, but in a blink of an eye, they focused their attention on the battle in front of them, and the sound of killing on the battlefield was as fierce as ever, and no one cared about the sudden fire. Soon after the first fire snake appeared, dozens of fire snakes appeared one after another on the slope of the hill near the side of the Eagle Sorrow Stream. It was autumn, the vegetation was dry, and the flames spread rapidly among the shrubs and weeds, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of huge flame tabernacles were formed, swaying and whistling in the mountain wind, and the momentum was still expanding!

When the Khitan soldiers found out about this situation, they couldn't help but panic and gradually stopped attacking. Yan Yunjun's side also retreated. Zhan Jinguo ran to Yang Peng's side and said loudly; "King Yan, I don't know why the surrounding mountains are on fire!" Yang Peng looked at the surrounding fire and said, "I ordered someone to release it!" Zhan Jinguo was stunned.

Yang Peng saw that the fire was spreading at an extremely fast speed, and this area was about to turn into a hell of a sea of fire, and hurriedly ordered: "The whole army retreats!" Then he turned his horse's head and led Yan Yun's soldiers to gallop away along the way they came.

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

Seeing that the flames of Zhang Tian had become a prairie fire, the soldiers of the Jin Army did not dare to stay here, and retreated into the mountain stream one after another.

Wanyan Gao was leading the main force through the mountain stream, and suddenly saw the red light and black smoke outside the mountain stream in front of him, he couldn't help frowning, reined in his horse, ordered the whole army to stop, and then sent someone to investigate the situation. Soon after the people sent to go down, they led Ryuba back. When Long Ba saw Yan Gao, he hurriedly said: "King, Yan Yunjun set fire to the mountain, the flames are spreading, and it will be too late if you don't leave!" As if in response to his words, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a whistling sound at the exit of the mountain stream, and everyone hurriedly looked ahead, only to see that the fire had already spread in, and the soldiers outside the mountain stream were rushing in with exclamation. Long Ba was very anxious and hurriedly looked at Wan Yan Gao.

Wan Yan Gao stared ahead, frowning, he was unwilling!

Long Ba saw that Yan Gao was silent for a long time, and his heart was anxious, and he couldn't help but call: "The king ......"

Wan Yan Gao came back to his senses and said in a deep voice; "Retreat!"

Long Ba breathed a sigh of relief, and then shouted loudly: "Retreat!" Fall back! The front team becomes the back team, and the front team is the back team! Retreat now! Seeing the spread of the mountain fire, the soldiers of the Jin army were already panicking, and now when they heard the order, they immediately did not hesitate, turned around and ran. In the whole mountain stream, people shouted and neighed, scrambling, and it was very chaotic. And Xiang Hu, who led the way for the Jin army, looked gloating.

Chen Xiao led the war horse to retreat, and the sky behind him was fiery red. Chen Xiao met Hu Sanniang Qiongying and others who were leading the infantry army and the iron cavalry to break the formation halfway through, Hu Sanniang couldn't help but ask, "Big brother, what's going on in front?" Chen Xiao turned his head to look at the magnificent scene of the flames burning the sky behind him, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, just put a few fires!" Hu Sanniang and Qiong Ying looked at each other.

Chen Xiao said: "The Jin army can't come over for a while, let's go back to Yanmen Pass first." Then he led all the soldiers back to Yanmen Pass.

Back at the barracks behind Yanmen Pass, Yeluteri and Liang Hongyu immediately greeted him, and as soon as Liang Hongyu saw Chen Xiao, he asked, "Big brother, did you set fire to the mountain?" Chen Xiao nodded, turned to look at the Yanmen mountains in the west, and saw that the sky on that side was all fiery red, and there was a fire spreading to this side, Chen Xiao was not worried that the fire would spread, because the grassland where the military camp was located had already been trampled by soldiers and horses coming in and out, and there was nothing to burn, and there was a stream between the military camp and the mountains to the west, and the mountain fire caused by weeds and shrubs could not be burned. Even so, for the sake of insurance, Chen Xiao still asked Hu Sanniang to lead people to inspect the stream just in case.

"The enemy will not just stop, they will wait outside the mountain for the fire to pass, and then come back!" ”

Chen Xiao nodded, turned his head to look at the mountains in the east, and saw that there was a lookout post on the top of a peak closest to Yanmen Pass in the east, so he pointed to it and said, "Let's go up and see!" Then he said to him: "If you hear the sound of arrows shooting from the mountain, you will immediately lead all the cavalry to the Eagle Stream!" "Kick your fist and promise. Chen Xiao rode towards the top of the mountain, and Yelutri and the others followed closely behind.

Came to the foot of the mountain, and ran along the mountain road for a while, the war horse could not move forward, the slope in front was very steep, and the strange rocks were craggy, the war horse was difficult to carry people on such a terrain, and it was very unsafe to ride a horse in such a place, so Chen Xiao and others gave up the war horse to climb the mountain on foot. Two quarters of an hour later, when the crowd finally reached the top of the mountain, many of them panting, and Jerutri was even more drenched in sweat.

Chen Xiao wiped her sweat and said distressedly: "Tell you not to come with me!" Yerutri smiled, "People just want to follow the big brother!" Chen Xiao's heart fluttered, and his gentle feelings rippled in his chest. Holding Yelutri's hand and walking towards the edge of the cliff, several sentries who were in charge of the lookout here immediately greeted him and bowed, "Meet the King of Yan, meet the princess!" ”

Chen Xiao and Yelutri walked to the edge of the cliff, with a panoramic view of thousands of mountains and ravines, and at the bottom of the mountain, the very majestic Yanmen Pass became like a model on the sand table, and the camp of the Jin army was in the distance north of the Yanmen Pass, backed by several mountains, although the scale was very large, but here it also looks like a model on the sand table. Attracted by the firelight, he turned to the west, and saw that the flames were spreading in all directions in an irregular circle, turning over the dangerous peaks and overflowing the valleys, and the jackals, tigers, leopards, pigs, cows, sheep, and dogs in the mountains were running for their lives; Within the confines of the circle of flames, the eyes were scorched black, and everything was burned by the merciless flames, like hell, with a thin north-south line appearing and disappearing in the mountains in the middle to the north.

When Chen Xiao saw the thin line, his heart moved, and he pointed there and said to Yelutri: "It should be the Eagle Sorrow Stream, right?" Yelutri looked at Chen Xiao's finger, "It seems to be that!" ”

Chen Xiao looked at the sentinels and asked, "Have you seen that valley before?" Several sentries looked in the direction of Chen Xiao's finger, saw the thin line, shook their heads together, and the sentry led by said: "I didn't see anything before, but after the fire burned, I gradually saw the thin line!" Several of the other sentinels nodded in agreement.

Chen Xiao lowered his head and pondered: "Maybe it was covered by vegetation before, so you can't see anything in the distance, but now the vegetation has been burned, so it is visible." Jerutri nodded, "That's how it should be." ”

Chen Xiao followed the thin line and looked towards the north of the Yanmen mountains, but his vision was blocked by the steep mountains, and he couldn't see the movement of the Jin army at all, but Chen Xiao speculated that Wan Yan Gao must be leading the army to wait outside the Eagle Sorrow Stream.

The fire burned for a day and a night before it gradually went out. At this time, the iron hooves in the mountains were still hot, and the cavalry led by the Leap was rushing to the Eagle Stream, and the main infantry and the iron cavalry of the broken formation followed closely; At the same time, Long Ba, the general of the Jin army, also led the war cavalry to rush into the mountains of Yanmen, and rushed towards the Eagle Stream, followed by the main army led by Wan Yan Gao.

The forwards of both sides reached the north and south exits almost simultaneously, and Ryupachi led his horsemen into the Eagle Stream, and the heat wave enveloped in all directions, which was much hotter than when he had just galloped outside the mountain stream, it was like being grilled in a huge stove. There was a scorched black scene everywhere, the shrubs and dead grass that had covered the top and feet had all been turned to ashes, and the air was full of the smell of burning, and the ubiquitous ashes continued to burrow into the mouths and noses of the soldiers of the Jin Army, so the coughing sound came and went.

On the other side, he ordered part of the army to enter the mountain stream to prepare for battle, while the other part of the army climbed the steep cliffs on both sides to get ready.

Soon after, a loud rumbling sound came from the depths of the mountain stream, and the spirit of the army was lifted, and the army was ordered to prepare for battle! The Yanyun warriors in the mountain stream were waiting for the battle, and the Yanyun soldiers on the cliffs on both sides were bent and ready to attack.

A moment later, countless people and horses suddenly rushed out of the hazy smoke and dust, screaming and rushing towards this direction. His eyes widened, and his right hand slammed down. Arrows rained down on the cliffs on both sides, and in an instant, the Jin army's war cavalry turned on their backs, and the momentum of the impact was greatly weakened. He shouted violently, and led the Yanyun war horses in the mountain stream to rush up, and in the blink of an eye, the two war horses collided together and killed each other. The Jin army was numerous, but it could not be used at all in the mountain stream where only a few horses could be used in parallel, and the superiority in strength could not be brought into play at all. The two sides crowded into the narrow mountain stream and shouted and fought, and the Yan Yunjun on the cliff just fired arrows downward, and the sound of swishing was endless, in this case, the Yan Yunjun didn't have to aim to shoot the target at all, and the Jin army below had nowhere to hide.

The situation was relatively unfavorable for the Jin army, and in a few moments, the Jin army suffered many casualties and its morale was shaken. Seeing that it was difficult to break through, Long Ba ordered the army to retreat temporarily, so the Jin army stopped the attack and retreated. He restrained the army from chasing and killing, and remained near the exit. At this time, there were many corpses stacked in the mountain stream, some of which belonged to Yan Yunjun, but more of them belonged to Jin Jun.

He ordered a part of the sergeants to come forward to collect the corpses of his own fallen soldiers, and Yan Yun dragged the corpses of his own soldiers out of the pile of corpses.

"General, we're running out of arrows here!" An officer shouted from the cliff. He immediately ordered everyone's arrows to be gathered up and sent to the cliffs on both sides, and then shouted: "You can also use the stones on the mountain!" The voice that spoke just now raised his voice and promised: "Yes! ”
