Nearly a thousand Yanyun infantry troops suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the Western Xia army, holding swords and guns and shouting and rushing up. In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided and fought viciously, knives and guns flew to the flesh and blood, and the soldiers of the Yan Yun Army were like crazy beasts desperately killing the enemy, but they themselves fell in a pool of blood one by one.

The Yanyun army tried their best to fight bloodily, and did not hesitate to die with the enemy, all of them were like wolves and tigers, and they did not retreat in bloody battles, but the number of enemies was too much, as if they could not be killed, but the number of Yanyun soldiers was rapidly reduced, and more and more Yanyun soldiers fell on the blood-stained hillside. In less than two quarters of an hour, all the thousands of Yanyun soldiers were killed. The Snow Mountain Army rushed up the ridge over the hillside full of the corpses of soldiers on both sides. At this time, the Yanyun army, which was blocking the enemy army on the left and right, had to give up blocking the enemy army in front and shrink into the barracks, ready to make the last desperate resistance!

The three Snow Mountain armies on the left, center and right entered the ridge and surrounded the Yanyun army that had retreated into the barracks from three sides. Fan Longyuan glanced at the enemy army with his eyes open, and muttered, "Fuck, these dog mongrels actually saw through Yang Ye's scheme!" He turned his head and asked an officer next to him: "What about General Ma Qiang?" The officer replied: "General Ma and his five hundred cavalry are encircled by the enemy at the foot of the mountain and cannot get out!" ”

Fan Long couldn't help but be a little worried, but this worried emotion was instantly left behind, in his mind, since he became a soldier, it was not a big deal to die on the battlefield! glanced at all the soldiers, and saw that the soldiers were panting and looked a little tired, but everyone's eyes were firm and fierce, without the slightest fear, and they couldn't help but be very proud in their hearts! I only heard Fan Long shouting: "Brothers, for the sake of the final victory, we must defend the Great Wall Ridge to the death!" We are Yanyun's men, and we must not let the Xixia dog thieves look down on us!! The soldiers roared in unison, and the momentum was even greater!

Woo woo woo ......, the sound of the Western Xia horn came from outside the camp, and I saw that the three Western Xia soldiers and horses launched an attack from three directions at the same time, surging like a tide.

Fan Long raised his axe and roared, "Bow and arrow!" All the Yan Yun soldiers were ready to shoot with their bows and crossbows, and their eyes were coldly staring at the enemy who was getting closer and closer.

Seeing the enemy rush to the fence, Fan Long pointed his axe forward and shouted, "Release the arrow!" Yan Yun soldiers immediately released arrows, the arrows suddenly, like a dense wave of flying locusts plunged into the tide of the enemy army, only to see that the tide was agitated, and many of the soldiers of the Western Xia army were shot to the ground by the arrows, but the fierce Western Xia army was not afraid at all, and still rushed up to smash the wooden fence frantically! Yan Yunjun kept firing arrows, and after a few rounds, he only heard a loud noise, and a large piece of wooden fence was actually pushed down by the soldiers of the Western Xia Army, and then he saw the soldiers of the Western Xia Army surging in like a flood of the embankment.

Fan Long roared: "Rush with me!" While roaring and urging the horses to rush towards the tide of the enemy, Yan Yun's soldiers abandoned their bows and crossbows, drew their long knives, picked up spears and axes, and rushed forward with a roar. In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided together and fought, a roar, thrilling, knives and guns flew and collided in the air, blood was fierce, and soldiers on both sides fell in pools of blood; The frenzied Yan soldiers had no one to defend, so they just sacrificed their lives to attack, completely ignoring the enemy's blades attacking at them, the enemy's scimitar cut their bodies, and at the same time, their long knives also cut the enemy in two, the blood-stained eyes were fierce and abnormal, blood for blood, and life for life, Yan Yun soldiers had put life and death aside, and just wanted to kill more enemies before they died!

Fan Long desperately wielded his battle axe in the crowd, raising blood and water in the sky, killing the corpses of the enemy all over the field, really like a demonic beast; The surrounding Yanyun soldiers are all fighting with their lives in the same way, and as long as they have one breath, they will kill an enemy!

The fierce battle lasted until dusk, the corpses on the Great Wall Ridge were like mountains of blood, thousands of Yanyun soldiers were all killed on the battlefield, and around their bodies were more corpses of the Snow Mountain Army, many of the corpses still maintained the appearance of fighting in front of them, like a thrilling statue.

A seriously wounded officer Yan Yun limped back to the top of the corpse pile with a blood-dripping spear, panting, and his blood-stained eyes looked coldly at the enemy troops who surrounded him!

Li Chongshan rode out on horseback, stood more than a dozen steps in front of the Yanyun officer, and shouted: "You are the only one left, surrender!" ”

The officer smiled, "There is only one Lao Tzu left, what is Lao Tzu still alive for!" Yuluo suddenly roared angrily, raised his spear and threw it at Li Chongshan with his last strength. Seeing the spear flying, Li Chongshan turned sideways to avoid it, and the spear flew over, shooting down an officer behind him. The Xixia soldiers were very annoyed, so they wanted to step forward together and break him into pieces, but they saw him pull out the Yanyun war knife that had almost turned into a saw on a corpse next to him, and slammed it into the neck, and a bloody arrow shot out! All the Western Xia soldiers were shocked, and then they saw his body fall backwards! Li Chongshan frowned, and couldn't help but scold: "Fuck! ”

At this time, an officer rode his horse to Li Chongshan's side, reined in his horse, and reported: "General, that Fan Long has escaped from the Great Wall Ridge under the escort of dozens of Yanyun troops!" Li Chongshan was annoyed, "Damn, I actually let him run away!" ”

At this time, dozens of scarred soldiers and officers were escorting Fan Long, who was seriously injured and unconscious, running wildly among the barren mountains and mountains. A group of people ran to a three-way intersection and stopped. One of the officers said: "We can't just flee back to Yan'an Mansion, we have to report to the chief administrator!" Another officer said, "I'll go to report the news, and you go back to Yan'an Mansion!" The officer who spoke in front nodded, "That's it!" Immediately, dozens of people separated at the three-way intersection, one rode his horse and galloped towards the east, while the others continued to protect the seriously injured and dying Fan Long towards Yan'an Mansion.

The officer who was going east to report met Ma Qiang on the way, and couldn't help but be surprised, "General Ma, we thought you were already ......" Ma Qiang shook his head, "It's almost over!" Pointing to the dozens of bloodied cavalrymen behind him, "There are only so many of my five hundred war horsemen left!" The officer couldn't help but be gloomy. Ma Qiang asked, "Where are you going?" The officer replied: "The Great Wall Ridge is lost, I will go to report to the chief manager!" Ma Qiang said, "Let's go together." The officer answered. Ma Qiang turned the horse's head and ran in the direction of Yinzhou, and everyone followed.

Li Cunxiao stood on the Great Wall Ridge, looking at the vast land in the south, he couldn't help but feel excited, turned his head and ordered: "Without further ado, leave 5,000 people to guard the Great Wall Ridge, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will follow me to attack the back of Yinzhou!" The generals agreed in unison. That night, Li Cunxiao led tens of thousands of snow-capped mountain troops to outflank Yinzhou.

At noon the next day, the Snow Mountain Army hurried to the outside of Yinzhou City. Li Cunxiao saw that the direction of Yinzhou City was very quiet, and the generalissimo's army had not yet arrived, so he ordered the army to be stationed on the spot, and at the same time sent scouts to the surrounding areas of Yinzhou and the north of Yinzhou to reconnoiter the situation.

In the big tent, Li Cunxiao stood in front of the map, his eyes fell on Yinzhou, and his brows were furrowed tightly. Seeing that their general seemed to be preoccupied, the generals all felt very strange, Li Chongshan said: "General, we have broken through the Great Wall Ridge, this battle has basically been won, what are the generals still worried about?" ”

Li Cunxiao said: "Until the last moment, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses, not to mention that our enemy is still a powerful and fierce enemy like Yan Yun!" The generals didn't think so, they felt that the current situation was already very obvious, the Great Wall Ridge was broken by their own side, Yinzhou was copied from the back road, and it was only a matter of time before the main force of the Yanyun Army in the Yinzhou region was annihilated! Although they thought so in their hearts, their respect for Li Cunxiao made them not say what they thought.

Li Cunxiao turned around and asked, "Are the scouts back?" ”

Li Chongshan saluted and said, "I haven't come back yet!" Li Cunxiao didn't make a sound, turned around, and continued to look at the map. Li Chongshan couldn't help but ask: "General, should we attack Yinzhou?" The generals echoed one after another, and one of them said excitedly: "If we capture Yinzhou after breaking through the Great Wall Ridge, this time the battle will be ours!" All the generals nodded, and they all looked at Li Cunxiao very eagerly.

Li Cunxiao shook his head, "Don't worry, wait for the scouts to come back." ”

The generals felt that the general was really too cautious, but no one dared to contradict his words.

Li Cunxiao returned to the handsome seat and sat down, closing his eyes and recuperating. The generals stood under the tent, looking a little impatient, but no one dared to make a move.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and all the generals looked towards the door together, and Li Xiaochun also opened his eyes. I saw a scout rush in, kneel on the ground, and report: "General Qiyu, there is nothing abnormal around Yinzhou!" ”

Li Cunxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and muttered, "It seems that I am too careful!" He stood up and said to the generals: "Immediately send someone to shoot an arrow letter to Yinzhou City, just say that we have broken through the Great Wall Ridge and Yan'an Mansion, Yanyun is gone, as long as they surrender, I can guarantee their current power position!" Li Chongshan saluted and said: "The last general will do it himself!" The other generals were very annoyed when they saw that Li Chongshan had taken the lead. Everyone naturally wants to grab this errand, not to mention a big or small credit, the important thing is to be able to shake his majesty in front of Yan Yunjun!

Li Cunxiao thought to himself: Yanyun's main force should have gone to the Wuding River to meet the generalissimo's main force, there must not be many defenders in this city, I have two choices, one is to take the opportunity to attack the city, the other is to use a part of the force to contain the Yanyun army in the city, and the main force will bypass Yinzhou to attack the rear of Yanyun's main force, so that the Yanyun army can be defeated in one go.

Li Cunxiao pondered for a moment and felt that he should adopt the second strategy and annihilate Yanyun's main force in one go.

This side was temporarily put down, and his eyes turned to the outside of Yanmen Pass. The Liao army really retreated, but the speed of retreat was very slow, and the front and rear squadrons were all on strict alert, apparently to prevent the Yanyun army from taking the opportunity to raid. The Khitan army retreated slowly like this, and they couldn't walk dozens of miles a day, and at this rate, it would take them about 20 days to retreat to Baishan Mountain.

In the evening of this day, the Liao army set up camp on the wilderness almost 300 miles away from Yanmen Pass, and under the reflection of the setting sun, the smoke curling in the camp was very lively. In the big tent, Yelu Tiger City was standing in front of the map, frowning and looking pensive.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps at the door, and the generals entered. When they came to Wan Yan Gao, they stopped together and bowed: "King! ”

Ye Yu Hucheng turned around and asked, "What is the movement of Yan Yunjun?" ”

Han Chang said: "The scouts have just returned, and they saw on the top of the mountain that there are signs of a large army moving behind the Yanmen Pass!" Yarhu Hucheng immediately asked, "Is it moving south?" "Yes. However, the specifics are not clear. In addition, the scouts who were monitoring Yanmen Pass outside Yanmen Pass reported that everything was business as usual when Yanmen Gate was closed, and nothing had changed. ”

Ye Hu Cheng thought for a moment and muttered, "Yang Peng is very cunning, even if he divides his troops to the south, he is afraid that he will not show any signs!" Are the signs of going south real or fake? "Yeeon Tiger City is uncertain.

At this moment, a pro-soldier officer rushed in, knelt down and said, "Great King, the envoy of Western Xia is here!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Invite him in!" The pro-soldier officer answered, ran down, and a moment later, led the Western Xia envoy who had come before. At this time, Yelu Tiger City was already standing on the top, and the generals were divided on both sides. As soon as the envoy of the Western Xia saw Yeyu Tiger City, he didn't care about saluting, and asked urgently, "Why did the king withdraw his army?" ”

Ye Hu Cheng said with a smile: "The envoy doesn't need to be nervous, we are not withdrawing our troops, we are just retreating a few hundred miles to receive grain and grass." ”

The Western Xia envoy said angrily: "Does it take the entire army to retreat a few hundred miles to receive grain and grass?" King, we should share the same hatred, but we can't make small calculations! ”

Xiao Ye shouted dryly: "Presumptuous! What is your identity, how dare you speak like this to the protector king of our Great Liao Kingdom! The generals also shouted and cursed. In the hearts of the Khitan people, the Western Xia was inferior to them, and the Great Liao State had never even recognized the status of the Western Xia as an independent state, so how could they bear the envoys of the Western Xia to talk to their protector like this. Ordinary people may not be very clear, in fact, the status of the Western Xia at that time was very low, the Liao and Song States did not recognize the status of the independent state of the Western Xia, and the Western Xia also often called the two countries vassals, vacillating between the two countries, the Western Xia Emperor was the first time to the Liao State to pay tribute, so the Western Xia can only be regarded as a vassal of the Liao State strictly speaking.

The Western Xia envoy frowned.

Yehu Hucheng raised his hand and shouted, "Shut up!" The tent gradually fell silent. Yelu Hucheng said to the Western Xia envoy: "Rest assured, the envoy, our army will attack Yanmen Pass again in a short time!" "The Western Xia envoy sneered in his heart and said secretly: 'Are we fools? You are nothing more than trying to pretend to retreat, so that Yan Yun can press the main force on our heads! Hmph, now Yinzhou should be in control, even if the Yanyun army on the Yanmen Pass comes back to help, it will not be able to return to the sky, but in this way, it may hinder our army from crossing the Yellow River eastward, although it can be broken through after all, but I am afraid that it will delay a lot of time! In this way, if the Khitans break through the Yanmen Pass and go south, they are afraid that Shanxi will be taken into their pockets! Although there is an agreement between the two sides in advance, if the Khitan people have already bitten the fat into their mouths, they are afraid that they will not spit it out again! ’

As soon as he thought of this, he said to Ye Yu Hucheng: "King, when I came, I got reliable information that a considerable part of the Yanyun Army on the Yanmen Gate has been transferred!" If the king doesn't take this opportunity to attack Yanmen Pass, I'm afraid that he will have a lot of dreams at night! "Why did the Western Xia envoy hope so much that the Khitans would capture Yanmen Pass as soon as possible? If the Jin people captured Yanmen Pass so quickly, wouldn't it be in the interests of their Western Xia? It was because the Western Xia envoy did not want this to urge Yeyu Hucheng to enter Yanmen Pass at this time, because although a part of the Yanyun army was transferred from Yanmen Pass, but it did not go far, at this time, as long as the Khitan army attacked the key points, those Yanyun troops who were transferred away would immediately rush back, so that their own side broke through Yinzhou and crossed the Yellow River eastward, there would be less of the most powerful obstacles, and at the same time, the Khitans were likely to still be blocked under the Yanmen Pass, so they could take the opportunity to pocket the entire Shanxi, and the overall situation had been decided at that time. The Khitans just don't want to do anything and have nothing to say.

Ye Hu Cheng listened to the words of the Western Xia envoy, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he hurriedly asked, "How can you be sure that a part of the Yan Yun Army in Yanmen Pass has been transferred?" ”

When the envoy of Western Xia saw the appearance of Yelu Tiger City like this, he was secretly happy in his heart, and said: "I can't hide it, we have an ambush near Yanmen Pass, and it is the information they transmitted, which is absolutely reliable. According to intelligence, at least half of the main force of the Yanyun Army left Yanmen Pass and headed south. The king is at this time the time to capture Yanmen Pass, if you don't grasp this opportunity, I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy! ”

Yelu Hucheng nodded: "Hmm......" glanced at the Western Xia envoy and asked, "Is there any news from Tubo?" The Xixia envoy said: "I was about to inform the king that the 400,000 Tubo army had launched an attack on Qinfeng Road, and the war was going very well, Xining Prefecture and Jishi Fortress had been broken by the Tubo army, and now the Tubo army was in the middle of a long drive, and the Yanyun army was retreating again and again!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were all very surprised, and Xiao Yegan said in disbelief: "The Tubo people have such ability? Not to mention the breakthrough of Xining Prefecture and Jishi Fortress in one fell swoop, he actually drove straight into it and defeated the Yanyun army? "The other generals felt the same way, and they felt that it was incredible. Thoughtful as Han Chang and the others secretly doubted the words of the Western Xia envoy: 'This Western Xia envoy said so conclusively, but I am afraid that it is not true! How could Yan Yunjun be so easy to deal with? How can Tubo be able to destroy Yan Yun's two legions in such a short period of time? Saying this, I'm afraid that I want to excite us to fight with Yan Yunjun! ’

Yelu Hucheng sneered, wanting to scold the Western Xia envoy, but then he thought about it: 'Why should I expose him now!' What good is it for us to expose him! As soon as he thought of this, he said: "The Tubo people are quite capable!" The Western Xia envoy said: "It's not that they are particularly powerful, but they really took advantage of the raid!" He obviously thought his words were unbelievable, so he added that. Ye Yu Hucheng was noncommittal and asked, "Your Princess Li Qingxia, what are you doing now?" ”

The Western Xia envoy said: "After the princess persuaded Tubo to send troops, she went to the Song Kingdom, and now she should have arrived in Bianjing!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng and the others couldn't help but admire this Xixia princess, Ye Hu Cheng asked, "Your princess wants to persuade the Song State to send troops as well?" The Western Xia envoy nodded, "The princess hopes that the Song Kingdom can send troops to Jiangbei!" The princess is sure about this! ”

Yelu Hucheng pondered for a moment, and said to the Western Xia envoy: "You must be very tired from coming here, just rest here for one night, and leave tomorrow!" The envoy of Western Xia also had this intention, so he bowed down and thanked him. Yelu Hucheng called his own soldiers and ordered them to take the Western Xia envoy down to rest.

After the Western Xia envoy left the big tent, the general Xiao Yegan couldn't help but ask: "King, should we go back to attack Yanmen Pass now?" The other generals also showed eagerness to try.

Yelu Hucheng glanced at the generals and asked, "Do you all believe what the Western Xia envoy said?" The generals looked at each other. Da lazy said: "I'm afraid that the mouth of the Western Xia envoy is only fifty or sixty percent true, but the news that part of the Yan Yun army on the Yanmen Gate has been transferred out should be true, because this is exactly what we scouts have seen." The generals nodded. Han Chang said: "But he obviously had bad intentions when he told us this news," he looked at Yelu Tiger City, "He is afraid that he just wants us to return to attack Yanmen Pass as soon as possible, so as to attract those Yan Yunjun who have been transferred back!" In this way, there will be no obstacle for their Western Xia army to cross the Yellow River east after breaking through Yinzhou! Then swept Shanxi, and when our army entered the customs, the whole Shanxi was afraid that it had fallen into their hands, and at that time, the wood had already been completed, what else could we do? ”

After listening to Han Chang's analysis, the generals couldn't help but suddenly become enlightened, and then they were very angry and shouted one after another, and the big tent was very noisy for a while.

Yeyu Hucheng shouted, "Shut up for me!" The big tent immediately fell silent, but the generals still looked indignant, and the general Long Ba said angrily: "The people of Western Xia dare to calculate us, we can't just forget it!" Several of the hottest generals chimed in, and the big tent became noisy again. Ye Hu Cheng said angrily: "We are going to deal with Yan Yun now, but we are not going to gamble with the Xixia people!" The generals were silent, but their expressions were very unhappy, they knew that the king was right, but they were very unhappy in their mood.

Ye Hu Cheng sneered: "I naturally want to attack Yanmen Pass, but when to attack back, it's up to me to decide!" Then he said to the generals: "The army is still slowly retreating as before!" Many of the generals looked surprised, not understanding why the king was retreating, but Yeron Hucheng did not explain and let them go back to their camps.

Early the next morning, the Western Xia envoys were full of expectations that the Liao army would march to Yanmen Pass, but found that the Khitan army continued to retreat. The envoy of Western Xia was deeply worried while being surprised. The cronie next to him asked, "My lord, do you want to persuade that king again?" The Western Xia envoy slowly shook his head, "It's useless!" He should have already seen through my mechanism, and trying to persuade him will only make both sides look bad! ”

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