Chapter 384, a fire in the backyard,

Yang Peng smiled: "Don't worry! Yang Jing said angrily: "I'm just in a hurry!" Yang Peng smiled, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, let's attack again!" Yang Jing didn't dare to disobey Yang Peng's words, and muttered in a low voice: "Wait, wait, I don't know what to wait for!" Yang Peng ignored Yang Jing and raised his head to look at the fortress in front of him.

Wei Mingtai stood on the wall, looking at the Yanyun army in the field below the mountain, only to feel that the army was strict and imposing, and he couldn't help but feel that he couldn't resist it. At this time, Wei Mingtai had already been arranged, and all armies and departments were waiting for the Yanyun army to attack, but the Yanyun army was only arrayed in the field and there was no movement. Wei Mingtai felt puzzled and a little fortunate at the same time, and only hoped that his opponent had better never attack.

"It's on fire! It's on fire! ......" A terrible cry suddenly came from inside the fortress. The Western Xia soldiers were startled, and they all turned their heads to look into the fortress, and they saw that many fires were rising in the grain and grass stacking area and the camp area, which were spreading rapidly, and at the same time, the officers and soldiers in the fortress were running around, a chaotic scene.

Wei Mingtai's face changed, and he couldn't help but shout: "It's not good, there are spies mixed in!" He turned his head and said to the two officers beside him: "You go down, stabilize everyone, if anyone dares to run around and scream, correct the law on the spot!" The two officers answered and ran down the wall. Immediately, Wei Mingtai said to another officer: "You two, one organizes people to put out the fire, and the other goes to search for spies, and arrest those ordinary people for me!" The two of them made a promise and ran down the wall.

The four officers acted according to Wei Mingtai's orders, and the chaotic situation gradually stabilized, and the fire in the grain and grass area and the camp area was also controlled, although it could not be extinguished, but it did not spread again.

Wei Mingtai relaxed slightly. However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the walled gate. Wei Mingtai hurriedly looked towards the gate of the wall, and saw that hundreds of soldiers were attacking the soldiers guarding the gate, those attackers were very fierce, and the guards were caught off guard, and they were killed and retreated again and again, and the casualties were heavy, and the gate was about to be lost. Wei Mingtai was suddenly shocked when he saw such a scene, and he didn't think about it, so he hurriedly shouted and ordered the surrounding soldiers to go down the city wall to counterattack.

The soldiers on the city wall received the order and rushed towards the gate, but before they could arrive, the attackers had already opened the gate. Wei Mingtai suddenly heard a loud rumbling sound behind him, and his heart was shocked, and he quickly turned around and looked at the field below the mountain, and saw two thousand Yanyun Xuanjia troops flying like black clouds, followed by tens of thousands of troops. Wei Mingtai's face turned pale in an instant.

When he came back to his senses, he turned his head and yelled at the soldiers: "Quickly recapture the Zhaimen!" "If we can recapture the gate in time, then it is possible to hold the fortress, otherwise, the Wolf Mountain Fortress will be lost today.

The Western Xia soldiers were also panicked and anxious, and under the panic and anxiety, they went crazy to counterattack the walled gate, and hundreds of Western Xia soldiers crowded in front of the walled gate and desperately pushed forward to attack; And Zhang Daniu led hundreds of hidden killers to resist desperately, fighting hard, roaring and screaming, sword light and blood and water flew together. In front of the walled gate, in this narrow area, the soldiers on both sides sacrificed their lives to fight, on one side wanted to recapture the walled gate, on the other hand, they had to desperately defend the walled gate, in the blink of an eye, countless corpses were already lying on the ground, and the soldiers on both sides stepped on the corpses on the ground to continue to fight. The two sides formed a stalemate, although the Western Xia army was numerous, but in the narrow area in front of the walled gate, it could not be used at all.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves came to the front, Wei Mingtai hurriedly looked outside, and saw that the black cloud-like Xuanjia army had come to the gate of the village! He only felt as if all his strength had been drained in an instant.

Immediately, a loud rumbling sound came from under the walled gate, and Zhan Jinguo led two thousand Xuanjia troops to rush into the walled gate, crashed into the Western Xia army, and killed forward. Iron hooves trampled, knives and guns flew, killing the corpses of the soldiers of the Western Xia army and retreating again and again, and finally rushing them to scatter and flee. At this moment, Yan Yun's main force had also arrived and was pouring into the city.

The Western Xia army has gone, running in all directions, and those who can't escape quickly throw away their weapons and kneel on the spot. …… Half an hour later, the battle was over. The flames in the fortress have been extinguished by the Yanyun Army, and there are corpses everywhere on the ground, basically all of them are from the Western Xia, and many Yanyun Army soldiers are cleaning the battlefield; A group of captives shrugged their heads and were escorted by Yan Yunjun to gather in a place, each captive's heart was full of a sense of humiliation, but under this humiliation, there was also a sense of happiness, no matter what, the battle was over, and his life was still there.

Zhang Daniu ran to Yang Peng, hugged his fists and said: "Master, the enemy has been completely resolved, except for more than 2,000 who were killed, the rest were all captured." However, Wei Mingtai ran away, and General Zhan was leading his army to catch up. ”

Yang Peng nodded, smiled and said to Zhang Daniu: "Breaking through the Wolf Mountain Fortress, you should be the first to take the lead!" Zhang Daniu grinned, looking a little excited and embarrassed. How could Zhang Daniu and the hundreds of secret guards attack from the inside of the Wolf Mountain Fortress? Hehe, in fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly, because hundreds of the thousands of Western Xia soldiers and civilians who fled into the Wolf Mountain Fortress were faked by them, and Wei Mingtai did not expect that there would be Yan Yunjun among the thousands of soldiers and civilians who fled one after another. Just now, when the attention of the Tangut people was outside the fortress, Zhang Daniu led all the secret guards who had mixed in to suddenly attack, first set fire to create chaos, and then took advantage of the chaos to attack the walled gate. The Western Xia people were caught off guard by Zhang Daniu, and they captured the walled gate in one fell swoop. Needless to say, the rest of the story. ……

Brother Hugh and the others finally crossed the Wujia River, and then rushed towards the Wolf Mountain Fortress. At sunset, they saw the military village under the wolf mountain from a distance, and everyone couldn't help but be happy, and hurried towards that side.

However, not long after he ran out, Li Qiyun suddenly reined in and shouted: "Stop, stop, it seems that something is wrong!" When everyone heard this, they hurriedly reined in their horses and looked towards the military village, only to see a big flag fluttering above the military village, embroidered with two big characters of 'Yanyun' with teeth and claws. Everyone was shocked, and the famous tiger and bear couldn't help but shout; "Yan Yun?! Could it be that the Wolf Mountain Fortress has also been lost!? ”

Wei Ming Shouzhong hurriedly said: "Let's not get close, if we are discovered by Yan Yunjun, we will be in danger!" Get around! The famous tiger bear said angrily: "The wolf mountain is steep, except for the road in person, there is no way to go at all!" What should I do after I get around? Wei Ming Shouzhong said: "I know that there is a small road in the Wolf Mountain, which is very deserted, and although the team of people and horses carrying baggage cannot walk, there is no problem for dozens of us!" Wei Minghu Xiong's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "There is such a road!" Great, let's go! The others didn't take action, they looked at Brother Hugh, and when the tiger and bear saw this, they couldn't help but look at Brother Hugh.

Brother Wei looked at the Wolf Mountain Fortress in the distance, sighed, retracted his gaze and said to everyone: "Let's go!" The people were silent, and turned their horses' heads and headed north. ……

Yan Yun's army captured the Wolf Mountain Fortress in one fell swoop, and the entire Wulahai region fell into Yan Yun's grasp. Immediately, Yang Peng left 3,000 people to garrison Wulahai City, and 2,000 people to garrison the Wolf Mountain Fortress, while he himself led a large army to continue the march. Three days later, the army reached the crossing of Hue, located at the tributary of the Yellow River. After crossing the Hue ferry, the army can go down the river to the left of the Yellow River. Hue Ferry had already been captured by the Yanyun War Cavalry when it raided the Western Xia reinforcements, so the army did not have to fight here, but the Hue fortress, which was located eighty miles south of the Hue Ferry, had to be attacked with great effort. At that time, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu formulated a battle plan to ambush and annihilate the Western Xia reinforcements, and then seize the Hue ferry by chance, and if the situation allows, even the Hue fortress was captured in one fell swoop. However, after the Yanyun army captured Hue at that time, it found that the Western Xia army of the Hue fortress had already noticed their own actions, so they gave up the plan to seize the Hue fortress immediately, and first focused on eliminating the Western Xia army in the Ula Sea area.

Yan Yun's army crossed the Hue ferry, and then advanced south by land and water, and the rolling tide of troops approached the Hue fortress. However, at this moment, Yang Peng was worried about the situation in the south, and not long ago he eliminated the Western Xia army in the Wulahai region, but he further confirmed the battle situation in the south from the mouths of those prisoners, the Tubo army had been defeated and left, Li Qingxia had already put a huge pocket and waited for the Yanyun army to enter the urn, and the situation was very favorable to the Western Xia side. I don't know what happened to the south? Yang Yanzhao and Gao Hu, have they been defeated?

Yang Peng cleaned up his mood and put these worries behind him for the time being. He had already made up his mind to keep going south even in the worst-case scenario, and only a devastating attack could minimize the losses caused by the defeat in the south. In the past few days, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu have not only considered the offensive strategy, but also the strategy of how to stabilize the situation in the future, and they both feel that if Yang Yanzhao and Gaohu are defeated, they will only transfer troops from Qinfeng Road to stabilize the situation, but if the enemy army seizes Yan'an Mansion with an elite army before the arrival of Qinfeng Road reinforcements, then the whole situation will be very unfavorable to their side. ……

Brother Hugh and the others crossed the Wolf Mountain from the path, and then went south. When he arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, he saw from a distance that Yanyun's army of water and land was marching towards the south, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked. Immediately avoided Yan Yunjun's army and rushed towards the Hue fortress. When they arrived at the Hue fortress, it was already night, and dozens of people couldn't help but have a feeling of being reincarnated. Guarding the Hue fortress was a general under the command of Hue Brother, named Li Xiong, who was very happy to see the arrival of Brother Hugh, and hurriedly gave up his official office to Brother Hugh to make a camp, and at the same time, Wei Mingtai, who fled to the Hue fortress first, also came to visit Brother Hue.

Brother Wei Mingxiu sat on the main seat, sighed for a long time, and couldn't help muttering: "It's like a nightmare! In a few days, the entire Ura Sea region fell! We are like a lost dog, and we can't live in fear! "The famous tiger bear wanted to say a few tough words, but he couldn't say it at all, even a fierce and fearless general like him was beaten by Yan Yunjun and lost his temper!"

Brother Hugh looked at Li Xiong and asked, "How many defenders are there in Hue Fort?" Li Xiong said: "A total of 2,000 people." ”

Everyone frowned, and Wei Ming Tiger Bear said angrily: "In the face of Yan Yunjun, two thousand people are not enough to stuff their teeth!" Wei Mingtai said: "General, it's better for us to abandon the Hue fortress and retreat to the Kayi Gate or Lou Bo Bei." "Lou Bobei, located in an oasis deep in the desert more than 300 miles southwest of Hue Fort, is the location of the so-called Baimaqiang Town Military Division, and the leading general is named Li Xingguo, a member of the Western Xia royal family; The reason why Xixia set up the military division of Baimaqiang Town there is of course because of the strategic location of Lou Bobei, there are two narrow oasis corridors to the west of Lou Bobei, the northwest one can go directly to the Yanjun Division of Heishui Town, which has two huge lakes, which is now near the Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia, and the one to the southwest can go directly to the location of the Gansu Military Division, Xuanhua Mansion, that is, Zhangye.

In addition to its important strategic position, the military division of Baimaqiang Town is also one of the most important salt producing areas in Western Xia, and the so-called Jilantai Salt Pond is located here. Keyi Gate, located more than 200 miles south of Hue Fortress, is the location of the Shun Military Division of the Right Chamber, and together with the provincial Weicheng on the east bank of the Yellow River, it constitutes the last barrier in the north of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom. If the line of Keyimen is broken, the Yanyun army can go directly to Dingzhou, and dozens of miles south of Dingzhou is Xingqingfu, the capital of Western Xia.

Brother Hugh sighed, "Those are not my territory, if we leave here, we will really become a lost dog!" After a pause, he frowned and said, "Besides, this Hue fortress is not a big place, but its status is very important, we must stick to it!" At this time, Brother Hugh had already made up his mind not to run away anymore, if he couldn't defend the fortress of Hue, it would be better to die here than to flee to someone else's territory and be ridiculed by others.

Li Qiyun frowned and said: "The general's intentions, the last general understands!" It's just that just 2,000 men and horses can't hold the Hue fortress no matter what! Several generals couldn't help but nod their heads.

Brother Hugh said angrily: "Flee here, I have nowhere to escape!" If the Yanyun army comes to attack, I will fight with them to the last soldier! If you die, that's also a dignified man, it's better than escaping to someone else's territory and being laughed at by others! Such resolute words aroused the arrogance of the generals, and the famous tiger bear slapped his chest and said loudly: "I will accompany the eldest brother to defend to the end!" The generals glanced at each other and saluted together: "I am willing to follow the general to the death!" Brother Wei Ming Xiu looked at the subordinates in front of him, his heart was extremely relieved, and he laughed and said, "Okay! is worthy of being a good man in the party! Our brothers live and die together, and fight with Yan Yunjun to the end! The generals shouted in unison: "Live and die together, fight to the end!" ”

An officer rushed in with a panicked expression, knelt down and said, "General, the Yanyun Army has arrived!" Although everyone had already made up their minds to die, they couldn't help but be shocked when they heard the news of Yan Yun's army. Hugh stood up and walked outside, followed by the generals.

When they came to the city wall and looked out of the city, they saw several long 'dragons' winding their way from among the mountains along the river, and the huge fleet of boats on the river was also heading south. When the generals saw such a scene, they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts, and they swore that it was easy to say, but once they really faced such an ending, few people could face it calmly. The generals of Western Xia are still like this, not to mention those ordinary soldiers, all of them are pale and frightened, where is there any fighting spirit.

Soon after, I saw that the Yanyun army on land drove out of the mountains and set up camp in the open space by the river seven or eight miles away, while at the same time, the fleet on the water leaned to the shore and built a water village. Although it was still far away, the sound of people shouting and neighing could still be heard clearly.

At this moment, a personal soldier led a dusty herald rushed up, and reported excitedly: "His Majesty the General has sent reinforcements again!" ”

Everyone turned around suddenly, only to see a dusty herald come forward and salute: "General, the villain is a herald under the command of the general of the Chaoshun Military Division of the Right Wing, and he is specially ordered to come to inform the general that the general of my family has received an urgent report from His Majesty, and has mobilized 2,000 elite soldiers and 30,000 civilian troops to come to reinforcements. "The general of the Chaoshun Military Division in the right wing is named Wei Mingji, and he has the same surname as Brother Weimingxiu, so he naturally belongs to the same clan, but the relationship is not close, and the two have had a conflict over a Qinglou woman.

Brother Wei Ming Hugh said movingly: "I didn't expect the general to be so righteous, thank you!" Remembering the ongoing war in the south, I couldn't help but ask, "Has the problem in the south been solved?" ”

The herald said: "This villain is not clear, but since Your Majesty ordered my general to support the general, presumably the situation in the south is very good, maybe the Yanyun army has been annihilated, and the main army is heading north!" His words were very inspiring, and the surrounding Western Xia soldiers seemed to have been given a booster.

Brother Wei nodded thoughtfully, and said to the herald: "After you go back, thank the general for me!" The herald promised, and then said: "If the general has no other orders, the villain will go back to his life!" Brother Hugh nodded. The herald bowed to Brother Hugh and hurried away.

Yelu Tiger Bear laughed excitedly and said, "Okay! Although we were defeated miserably, Yan Yunjun was even more defeated! Glancing at the Yanyun military camp in the distance, he couldn't help but scold: "Fuck! When Your Majesty's army arrives, it will be our turn to catch the ducks! Everyone couldn't help laughing, and the atmosphere of dreary worry seemed to be gone.

In the Yanyun tent. Yang Peng received an urgent report of the military situation from Xizuo, and learned that the right wing of the Chaoshun Military Division in the south had gathered a group of soldiers and horses and was rushing towards the Hue fortress, and Xizuo also heard some rumors near the capital, saying that the Yanyun army had been defeated and fled south, and many people spontaneously celebrated, and there were scenes of jubilant celebration everywhere inside and outside Xingqing Mansion.

The generals were very anxious, talking to each other, and Yang Peng was also very anxious, but he didn't show it in the slightest. Raising his head, he glanced at the generals, and said with a smile: "The enemy's performance in the territory is not necessarily true, and it is very likely that they deliberately did this to disturb the morale of our army!" When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but think so, and Yang Jing said loudly: "Big brother is right, I think that's it!" Those frustrated birds want to use this method to deceive us away, but I Yang Jing can't be fooled by this! ”

Meng Hu smiled: "It's not easy to let Yang Jing be fooled!" Yang Jing laughed, shook his head and said, "That's!" Everyone laughed, and Yang Jing laughed along, very proud. Yang Peng raised his voice and said: "Go back to your respective armies and prepare for the attack!" The crowd stopped laughing, clenched their fists in agreement, and then retreated.

After the generals left, Yang Peng couldn't help frowning, and his face was graceful.

Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng and asked, "Big brother is worried about the war in the south?" Yang Peng sighed, looked up at the outside of the big tent, and frowned: "I can't help but worry, all the information I have obtained so far is not good!" I'm afraid, Yang Yanzhao and they are really defeated! It's unbelievable! Gao Hu is good to say, Yang Yanzhao will actually lose the battle! Yelu Hanyu said: "Any genius general will inevitably lose!" ”

Yang Peng nodded, lowered his head and thought: "According to the information obtained so far, Yang Yanzhao and Gao Hu should have been defeated not long ago, so we should still have time!" Yelu Hanyu asked, "The eldest brother plans to break through the Right Wing Chaoshun Military Division in order to directly threaten the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom?" ”

Chen Xiao nodded and thought: "Only in this way can we make up for the adverse effects of the defeat on the southern front to the greatest extent!" Yelu Hanyu nodded, bowed his head and pondered, his brows furrowed tightly. In her heart, it is actually very difficult to accept the defeat of the southern front, Yan Yun has been invincible since his rise, and the front of the army can be described as invincible, although it is not without defeat, but it is an innocuous defeat, it has never been such a big defeat as now, this defeat not only made Yan Yun's strategic advantage before the war come to naught in a short period of time, but also may make Yan Yun unable to swallow Western Xia in Yang Peng's lifetime. How did the situation become like this, could it be that the will of heaven is like this, and the fate of Western Xia should not be extinguished? Yelu Hanyu's mind was a little confused.

At the same time, a fast horse galloped from the lofty mountains and mountains in the north, and the knight was tired and tired, and the war horse under him was obviously weak, and the horse's hooves were heavy and muddy and watery, and he didn't know how long this man and horse had been running. The knight was dressed in the unique costume of Yanyun's herald, and carried a round bamboo tube on his back, which contained the military emergency report that was transmitted.

The herald rushed to the gate of the camp, and the war horse screamed in sorrow, and his front hooves knelt forward and fell to the ground. In normal times, the herald would definitely be able to jump down in time, but at this moment he was extremely tired, and the whole person was dizzy.

Seeing this, the sergeant at the door hurriedly rushed out and set up the herald, who fell with blood and dust on his face, and said weakly: "Hurry, hurry, urgent report, urgent report on the battle situation in the south!" When the sergeants heard this, they quickly carried him in and ran straight to the big tent. Entering the big tent, a sergeant hugged his fists and said: "King Qiyan, there is an urgent report of the military situation!" At this time, Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu were standing in front of the map, and when they heard the words, they immediately turned around and saw the herald who had more breath and less air, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
