Ma Jin, the commander of the Second Legion, led hundreds of warriors to fight back bravely along the main street, killing and bloody battles step by step, and finally killed at the gate of the city. However, more and more Khitan soldiers poured in, and the warriors around Ma Jin had already suffered casualties. The Khitan war cavalry roared and surged up, surrounding Ma Jin and the remaining dozens of warriors. In the midst of the exchange of guns and knives, the Yanyun warriors and the enemy died together, seeing them fall in a pool of blood one by one, and in the end, only Ma Jin was left. Ma Jin, the tiger general under the command of the former Ming Sect, and now the fierce general of Yanyun, has made many achievements on the battlefield since he joined the Yanyun army.

Ma Jin fought frantically among thousands of troops and horses, killing people like blood, horses like bloody horses, none of the Khitan soldiers were combined, and I don't know how many people were killed by him! In the end, no one in the Khitan army dared to step forward anymore, and they all looked at him with fearful eyes!

Ma Jin calmed down a little, and then realized that he was the only one left, so he couldn't help but curse secretly, and rode his horse to break through the siege in one fell swoop and gallop towards the city.

Coming to the square in front of the mansion, Ma Jin met dozens of people including Xiao Yanke, the prefect of Danzhou, who was retreating from defeat, and Xiao Yanke and others all looked panicked. When Ma Jin saw that they wanted to escape, he immediately stopped them and shouted, "The enemy is now, do you want to escape?" ”

Everyone showed a look of shame, and Xiao Yanke said: "General, General Yang Xiong has already run away as the commander, and there is no way to fight this battle, why bother to kill yourself?" Ma Jin's eyes widened, and he shouted: "As the commander of King Yan, I have the responsibility to defend the land, how can I abandon the city and flee for my life!" Unless we all die, we must stay here and defend to the end! Those who escape from the battle should be beheaded according to military law! Everyone's hearts sank. Ma Jin glared and said, "Go back and fight, or I'll kill you here!" Everyone looked at each other, looked at his bloody appearance and the spear that was still dripping blood, and dared to rebel, so they had to turn around and run back.

Ma Jin looked at the backs of Xiao Yanke and the others and scolded. At this moment, two officers covered in blood rushed to Ma Jinma, and the officer on the left hurriedly said: "The brothers to the west of the general have been scattered!" The officer on the right also exclaimed: "The brethren on the east side have also been completely scattered!" ”

Ma Jin was shocked, and hurriedly looked up, only to see the torches shining in the candle sky, and the sound of killing in all directions shook the sky and the earth. Frowning, he said to the officer on the left: "Blow the horn quickly, let the brothers all gather!" The officer answered, hurriedly untied the horn on his waist, put it to his mouth, and blew it with a whin.

After a while, I saw the remnants of soldiers running out of the surrounding streets and alleys one after another. Soon after, nearly a thousand remnants of soldiers gathered around Ma Jin, followed by the surge of men and horses in all directions, countless Khitan army cavalry appeared, and surrounded nearly a thousand scarred Yanyun remnants.

Ma Jin shouted: "Raise the military flag!" An officer behind him shouted a promise, and immediately unfurled the tattered flag of the Second Legion, which hunted in the wind. When the soldiers saw the military flag, the original panic disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a resoluteness, and everyone's eyes showed a desperate look!

The enemy army in front of them separated, and a Liao general wearing heavy armor and holding a cross sword rode to the front of the army, glanced at Yan Yunjun in front of him, admiration flashed in his eyes, and he raised his voice: "You have no way to escape, if you don't want to die, kneel down and surrender!" Our Great Liao Kingdom also treats captives preferentially! "The Yan Yun army and the Khitan army fought many fierce battles, and the Yan Yun army often shouted to the Khitan army 'preferential treatment of prisoners', so this Liao general also said such a thing according to the gourd painting scoop.

As soon as the words of the Liao general fell, tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers shouted in unison: "Surrender!" Surrender! ......" The voice was huge and amazing, enough to disintegrate the fighting spirit, but at this moment, it failed to shake the fighting spirit of Yan Yunjun, and the eyes of Yan Yunjun's soldiers were still extremely firm!

Ma Jin raised the blood-soaked crimson spear and said loudly: "Brothers, do you want to surrender?" An indescribable impulse surged in the hearts of the soldiers of the Yanyun Army who were close to him, and he got up and roared: "Don't surrender!" No drop! Fight to the end! Fight to the end! The thunderous voice and iron-blooded momentum actually suppressed the voice and momentum of tens of thousands of Khitan troops.

The general of the Liao Kingdom changed his complexion, snorted coldly, raised his cross sword and swung it forward violently. The two thousand Khitan army war horses immediately shouted violently, and activated the war horses to rush towards the remnants of nearly a thousand Yanyun, with a fierce and murderous momentum! Ma Jin shouted, urged the war horse, carried the spear and killed the enemy first, the spear flew up and down to kill the enemy horseman; The remnants of Yanyun also shouted and rushed into the middle of the enemy, the enemy war horse knocked the Yanyun soldiers out, and the flying scimitars cut the Yanyun soldiers to the ground, but the Yanyun soldiers were not afraid, forgetting their lives and fighting hard, the war knife cut off the horse's legs, the spear poked over the knight, and there was chaos in the middle of the Khitan army's war horse.

This slaughter lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, the Yanyun army suffered heavy casualties, and the Khitan army cavalry was also a casualty pillow, ordinary infantry could actually inflict such heavy casualties on the cavalry, the Khitan soldiers were unbelievable and shocked.

The Khitan army cavalry finally felt frightened, and fled back from the battle, and the Yanyun army rose up to kill, roaring and chasing after him. The general of the Liao army was annoyed and angry, raised his cross sword, and shouted loudly: "Bow and arrow! "The Khitan army cavalry is a good horse archer, and when he heard the order, he immediately put down his spear and scimitar, took off his bow and arrow, and fired arrows at Yan Yunjun. All of a sudden, arrows rained down, and Yan Yun's soldiers fell to the ground one after another, and Yan Yun's counterattack collapsed!

Seeing that the attack was very effective, the general of the Khitan army laughed and shouted: "Keep firing arrows!" The Khitan army's war cavalry kept firing arrows, and the Yanyun army resisted the opponent's arrows while retreating, and soldiers continued to fall to the ground with arrows. In the end, the Yan Yun army retreated into the gate of the palace, and the Khitan army stopped archery. At this time, on the square in front of the government, the corpses pillowed, and ten thousand feathers became a forest.

Ma Jin shouted: "Close the door!" Several officers immediately closed the door and put the latch on it. Ma Jin turned over and dismounted, sat down on the steps of the front hall, put down the spear in his right hand, grabbed the arrow inserted in his left chest, frowned, and exerted his hand, only to hear a click, the shaft of the arrow was broken by him, leaving only two inches long and still on his body. Ma Jin threw the broken arrow shaft far away, looked at the surrounding soldiers, and found that there were only about a hundred people left, and all of them were exhausted and scarred. Ma Jin couldn't help but feel sad from his heart, and then a wave of arrogance surged into his heart, and he said loudly: "Brothers, we are Yanyun warriors, we would rather die in battle than surrender!" All the soldiers were excited in their hearts and shouted in unison: "I'd rather die in battle than surrender!" ”

The Khitan soldiers outside heard the shouts coming from the palace, and everyone changed color slightly. The general of the Khitan army raised his right hand, and a thousand war horses lined up, ready to storm the palace. At this time, the square in front of the government office became quiet, and the air seemed to be frozen.

The Khitan general's right hand slammed forward. Dozens of Khitan soldiers rushed to the gate on foot with the sassags, and slammed the gate with the sassavel, making a loud noise, only a few hits, and the gate couldn't help but crash inward and collapsed. The Liao soldiers who were carrying the sassage wood immediately stepped aside, and nearly a thousand Khitan army cavalry shouted violently and poured into the gate.

"Tripside!" With a loud shout, several tripwires suddenly pulled up behind the gate. The Khitan army was caught off guard, and when the horse stumbled on the horse, the horse turned on its back, and the cavalry behind couldn't stop and crashed into it, and for a while it was also a person on the horse. "Kill!" Ma Jin shouted, and killed first, and all the soldiers of the Yanyun Army also roared and killed, frantically slashing and assassinating the enemy who fell to the ground, and the screams resounded in the blood and water.

The general of the Khitan army was furious and shouted: "Release the arrows!" Shoot arrows inside! Tens of thousands of Khitan army cavalry immediately threw arrows into the palace, these tens of thousands of people released arrows together, the palace was like a rain of arrows, the rain of arrows that continued to fall broke the branches, pierced into the mud, pierced into the roof tiles, and in an instant, the ground was densely inserted with feather arrows, Yanyun soldiers had nowhere to escape, and they fell to the ground with arrows.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, there was no sound in the palace. The general of the Khitan army ordered to stop shooting, and the rain of arrows stopped. The general of the Khitan army estimated that all the Yanyun troops inside were dead, smiled proudly, and then ordered the team of war horses that had attacked the palace to continue the attack. The Khitan army cavalry shouted and rushed into the gate, this time there was no stumbling rope, and the Jin army cavalry successfully rushed into the mansion.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden sound of fierce fighting in the palace, and then the Khitan soldiers outside saw their own people turning their horses and retreating, and more than a dozen enemy soldiers were rushing out on horseback, and the leader was Yanyun's fierce general Ma Jin, who was unstoppable for a while.

More than a dozen Yan Yun soldiers rode their horses out of the gate, and then turned their horses' heads and headed towards the south. The Jin army cavalry in the south immediately released arrows, and the arrows flew away like locusts, and more than half of the more than a dozen Yanyun soldiers were shot off their horses, and the rest crashed into the middle of the Khitan army like crazy beasts, roaring and waving knives and guns, killing the Khitan army with blood and water and trembling, and unconsciously gave way to both sides. Ma Jin and seven or eight others broke through the enemy's encirclement in one fell swoop and galloped towards the south. When the general of the Khitan army saw that the boiled duck actually flew away, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and shouted loudly: "Chase!" Give me chase! Thousands of Khitan cavalry immediately chased after them.

After Yang Xiong led hundreds of cronies and soldiers to escape from Danzhou, he fled all the way south, and everyone looked terrified. It was dawn, and everyone was already far away from Danzhou, and they couldn't help but relax a little. Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded loudly in front of them, and everyone was startled, and hurriedly looked ahead, only to see hundreds of knights running over a low hill in front, half men, half women, the men were strong and strong, and the women were also heroic. Yang Xiong and the others were all moved.

Running to the front, seeing that King Yan and the princess were sure enough, they quickly reined in the reins of the horse, turned over and dismounted, and bowed: "Meet King Yan, meet the princess!" ”

Yang Peng glanced at Yang Xiong, frowned slightly, and asked, "How is the situation in Danzhou?" "Yang Xiong's mind was spinning: 'I have to find a substitute for the dead ghost, otherwise I will be to blame!' As soon as he thought of this, he hugged his fists and said: "King Qiyan, Danzhou was suddenly besieged by the Liao army last night, and our army resisted desperately, but the city wall has been completely destroyed by the earth, and Ma Jin escaped at a critical time, resulting in the defeat of our army, and our army suffered heavy casualties, leaving only these hundreds of people to follow the last general to break through the siege!" Speaking of this, his face was full of grief and indignation.

Yang Peng's heart couldn't help but surge with anger, and scolded: "Ma Jin, this bastard, let me catch him, I have to break his body into pieces!" ”

When Yang Xiong heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, but then he became worried again, he was worried that Ma Jin did not die in the encirclement of the Khitan army, if he broke through, wouldn't his lies be exposed immediately? However, this worry quickly dissipated, he thought that it was absolutely impossible for Ma Jin to break through, so a little soldier and horse, surrounded by the opponent's 200,000 war horses, no one could break through! Then Yang Xiong thought about the next thing, how to explain it if Ma Jin's body was found? By the way, it can be said that Ma Jin escaped from the battle, but was intercepted by the enemy and died in the chaos. Thinking about this, I feel that it is seamless, and there is nothing to worry about.

After Yang Peng listened to Yang Xiong's words, he was very angry, but he quickly calmed down, thinking back to Ma Jin's character, it was clearly an indomitable and brave general, he would escape from the battle? At this time, Ye Yu Guanyin whispered to Yang Peng: "Big brother, none of their people and horses were injured, and there were no blood stains on their bodies, it doesn't look like they just broke through a vicious battle. Yang Peng also noticed this, raised his hand to signal that Ye Yu Guanyin didn't need to continue, and asked Yang Xiong: "How many soldiers and horses did the Khitan army dispatch?" ”

Yang Xiong said: "About 200,000, all cavalry, and the leader of the army will be those two golden retrievers, West and Butler." Yang Peng turned his head and smiled at Ya Yu Guanyin: "It's all your old subordinates!" Ye Yu Guanyin snorted and said coldly: "These two golden haired ghosts are mercenary, and they have no righteousness at all!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Westerners are like this, they will do everything for their interests, and there is no word for righteousness in them!" Ye Yu Guanyin nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Yang Peng: "Big brother, the enemy army is strong, we should withdraw to Yanjing first." Although the enemy army is huge, they are all cavalry, and it is not easy to break through Yanyunjian City! ”

Yang Peng was silent for a moment, raised his head and looked into the distance, and asked: "At this time, the people of Shunzhou should still be crossing the Wenyu River, if they don't stop the Khitan army, within a day, the Khitan army will be able to catch up with the people of Shunzhou, and the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Ye Yu Guanyin said angrily: "What is the life of those people compared to the eldest brother!" Not to mention that just the tens of thousands of people in Shunzhou, even the two million people in the entire sixteen states of Yanyun are not as important as the eldest brother alone! ”

Yang Peng said: "It's not entirely for those people. Although we had long thought that the Khitans might take advantage of this opportunity to raid on a large scale, the Khitan army was still moving much faster than we expected! It is difficult for the main forces of the Second and Third Army Corps to return in time, and if we can delay the enemy for a while longer, we will have more hope, so we must find a way to delay the enemy as much as possible! "The Second and Third Army Corps are stationed in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, but due to various reasons before, the main forces of the Second and Third Army Corps are located in Yingzhou and Luanzhou respectively, and it will take time to return to Yanjing, and Yanjing's defenders only have Xiao Feng's 20,000 city defense troops, and once the 200,000 Jinguo war cavalry attack the city, although they lack heavy siege equipment, but the strength is ten times that of Yanyun Army, I am afraid that it will not be easy for Yanjing to defend.

Ye Yu Guanyin glanced at Yang Peng, and said helplessly: "You always have a reason anyway, I know that I can't convince you by saying anything, so I won't persuade you anything!" Yang Peng glanced at Ya Yu Guanyin gently, but the latter glared at him fiercely and said, "We only have such a few men and horses, it is impossible to stop 200,000 war horses, you can't come nonsense!" ”

Yang Peng nodded with a smile, looked around, and saw that there were several majestic mountains not far from the south, so he pointed to those mountains and asked Yang Xiong, "Is that Niulan Mountain?" Yang Xiong looked in the direction of Yang Peng's finger, hugged his fist at Yang Peng and said, "Yan Wang Yingming, that is Niulan Mountain." ”

Yang Pengle turned his horse's head and said, "Let's retreat to the foot of Niulan Mountain, and then do this,......" and then said a plan that had just come to mind. ……

Yang Peng and more than 1,000 others quickly retreated to the foot of Niulan Mountain, and then Yang Xiong led his sergeants up the mountain, while Yang Peng and Ye Yu Guanyin led the secret guards and Feifeng female guards, and lined up on the official road next to Niulan Mountain. At this time, the weather is still early, and there is a Lu River flowing from the north to the south not far away, so the water vapor is steaming, and the whole Niulan Mountain is steaming and looming.

About half an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves came from the front, and I followed the sound and saw a dozen horses galloping towards me.

Ya Kannon said: "It's not like an enemy. Yang Peng nodded. A moment later, the dozen or so horsemen approached, all looking embarrassed and frightened. Yang Peng recognized one of the knights, frowned, and said, "It's Xiao Yanke, the prefect of Danzhou." ”

Xiao Yanke and the others were taken aback when they saw Yang Peng and the others in the formation from a distance, and at the same time they were overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed up. When he came to Yang Peng, he hurriedly reined in the war horse, rolled over and rolled off the saddle, and bowed: "Subordinate Xiao Yanke to meet King Yan and the princess!" ”

Yang Peng said: "Get up!" Xiao Yan thanked him and stood up. Chen Xiao asked, "Danzhou is lost?" Xiao Yanke's heart couldn't help but froze, swallowed his saliva, bowed down and said: "The subordinates are guilty, and the subordinates failed to live and die with Danzhou!" Yang Peng said angrily: "Nonsense! How did Danzhou get lost? Xiao Yanke hurriedly described the situation that the enemy army was large and the city wall was damaged by the earth, which was basically the same as Yang Xiong's previous report.

Yang Peng asked, "What about Ma Jin?" ”

Xiao Yanke said secretly: 'If I say that Ma Jin stays in the city and fights the enemy to the death, won't it seem that I am not loyal and brave enough? As soon as he thought of this, he said: "The reason why Danzhou was lost so quickly, General Ma Jin could not escape the blame, if he hadn't escaped from the battle, our army should still be holding on at this moment!" Xiao Yanke felt that Ma Jin must be dead at the moment, no matter how much nonsense he talked about, no one would come to expose himself, Yang Xiong knew the truth, but he escaped by himself, so he naturally didn't dare to expose his shortcomings.

Yang Peng originally didn't believe that Ma Jin would escape from the battle, but when he heard Xiao Yanke say the same, he couldn't help but believe it, and his heart couldn't help but surge with anger, and at the same time he felt a little regretful, regretting that such a brave general he originally valued very much, actually did such a humiliating thing as escaping, it would be better for you to fight for a while and then run!

Yang Peng suppressed his anger and said to Xiao Yanke: "You have worked hard, go to Yanjing." Xiao Yanke showed a resolute look, bowed down and said, "King Yan is here, how can his subordinates escape?" The subordinates are willing to follow King Yan to fight the enemy to the end! "When I said this, I was thinking in my heart: 'You are the King of Yan, you will not really fight the enemy to the end!' You will definitely run when there is danger, and it will not be too late for me to run away with you, but you can't run first at this time, otherwise it will not seem too disloyal and brave? ’

Yang Peng saw that Xiao Yanke was willing to stay, although he knew that he was mostly performing, he couldn't help but be a little moved, and nodded. Xiao Yanke immediately led more than a dozen of his subordinates to the side of the secret guard and stood down.

About an hour later, the sun had risen to the top of the treetops, and the clouds that had been swirling around Niulan Mountain had faded considerably. At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves in front of him was sharp, and several knights were seen galloping towards him. At first, everyone thought it was the forward sentinel of the Khitan army, but when the other party ran closer, they found that it was not the enemy's sentinel, but a few of their own soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, several horsemen rushed to Yang Peng's horse and slammed the war horse. The war horse could no longer hold on, neighed, fell forward, and several knights planted their horses.

Yang Peng and the others hurriedly dismounted, rushed forward, and helped them up. Yang Peng looked at the blood-soaked man in front of him, and was extremely moved in his heart, patted his arm heavily, and praised: "Good job!" Yang Peng didn't have to ask anything at all, just looking at the appearance of Ma Jin and the others, he knew what was going on. At this time, several other knights were also supported by the secret guards.

Yang Peng turned his head to look at Xiao Yanke suddenly, and shouted: "Xiao Yanke, are you guilty?" ”

Xiao Yanke was already horrified when he saw that Ma Jin and the others had actually come back from the siege, and when he heard Yang Peng's angry shouting, he was so frightened that he rolled off the horse, knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and stammered: "Belong, subordinate, subordinate is guilty!" Yang Peng snorted and said to Ye Yu Guanyin: "Phoenix, go and arrest Yang Xiong for me!" Ya Kannon answered, and immediately led a team of guards towards the mountain.

Yang Peng walked up to Xiao Yanke and said coldly: "I'm afraid that it's not Ma Jin who escapes, but you Xiao Yanke!" Xiao Yanke was shocked and said urgently: "Yan Wang Mingjian, subordinates, subordinates really didn't escape from the battle!" Ma Jin hugged his fists and said: "King Yan, Xiao Zhifu did not escape from the battle, and the last general had seen him at the end." Xiao Yanke heard that Ma Jin actually spoke for him, and thought that he was still pouring sewage on him just now, and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

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