While the defenders of Yanjing were actively preparing for the large-scale offensive of the Khitan army, on the sea east of Shandong, several fishermen drove small fishing boats to beg for a living on the sea as usual. One net after another, but only some small fish and shrimp were caught, and no big fish were ever caught. The fishermen couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and a young man said loudly: "Uncle, today must be a bad day, let's go back." The middle-aged fish nodded his head and raised his voice: "Go home!" The crowd shouted, and the oars and the rudder were wrenched, and the fishing boat slid out of the water in an arc toward the west.

The helmsman casually glanced behind him and saw many black dots on the sea in the distance. The helmsman was a man who had been begging for a living at sea all the year round, and when he could tell that it was a lot of big ships coming this way, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Look, why are there so many big ships coming from the east?" ”

Everyone turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw countless large ships coming from a distance to cover the sea. The young man said, "What's so strange about this, it must be our sailor!" Everyone felt that the young man was right, and nodded their heads, so they didn't pay much attention to the matter.

The speed of the warships was much faster than that of civilian boats such as fishing boats, so after half an hour, the warships caught up with the fishing boats. At this time, the two sides gathered only a few dozen meters, and the fishermen suddenly found that these warships were completely different from the warships they often saw, and the flags on those warships were not the double-winged flying tiger battle flags of the Yanyun Army, and the sergeants on them were wearing helmets like hats and bamboo armor, which was not only completely different from the black clothes and black scarves of the Yanyun Navy, but also very different from the Yanyun Infantry Army. The fish suddenly looked like a head, and exclaimed: "It's not good, it's not our army, they're Japanese people!" When the fishermen heard this, they were so shocked that they paddled with all their might, not to be commanded by the fish.

At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang on the sea, and almost at the same time, a column of water rose from the sea in front of the fishermen. The fishermen were so frightened that they paddled desperately. At this time, there was a loud thunderous sound behind him, and then the water column on the sea where the fishing boat was located soared into the sky, and a cannonball hit the fishing boat, and the fishing boat was broken into two when it boarded, and the fishermen on the boat fell into the water one after another.

The Japanese fast boat caught up and fired arrows at the fishermen who had fallen into the water, and in an instant, several fishermen were all shot on the surface of the sea, and the blood stained the surface of the sea bright red.

When the Japanese lord who stood on the flagship saw the destruction of the fishing boat and the killing of the fishermen, he became excited and laughed. Turning his head to a few generals around him, he said: "Our Yamato nation has a powerful gunboat, and the Yanyun Navy will definitely be vulnerable!" All the generals couldn't help but show excitement, and a young Japanese general said impatiently: "I really want to engage the Yanyun army as soon as possible!" I'm going to defeat the Yanyun Water Army to wash away the shame I had before! The generals also showed a look of impulsiveness. Previously, the Yanyun Navy not only attacked Mitsu Island and Tsushima Island, but also carried out several rounds of raids on several ports on Kyushu Island and Honshu Island, and the Japanese suffered heavy losses. The Japanese people, especially the navy, were angry about this, regarded it as a great shame, and were eager to take revenge. However, at that time, the prince of the Wa Kingdom saw that his own naval army was not enough, so he tried his best to suppress the naval army, which made the naval army very dissatisfied. Now that the navy has finally been ordered, they set out to fight against Yanyun and come to destroy Yanyun's navy, all of them are full of ambition and gearing up.

Standing on the flagship were the main generals of the Japanese navy, the commander of which was Shimazu Shigehiro, a man in his fifties with a slender appearance and a mustache, who was a fanatical democrat and a staunch supporter of the Japanese prince; The young general, named Takahashi Miyoshi, was already a high-ranking samurai at a young age, and now he is an important general in the naval army, and he is very famous in the Wa Kingdom, and because his hometown is in Okayama, he has the title of Okayama Warrior.

Shigehiro Shimazu patted Takahashi Miyoshi on the shoulder and said, "Takahashi-kun don't worry, we will be able to meet Yanyun Navy soon!" Then he turned his head and asked the officer, "Do you see the signal?" ”

The officer immediately asked the lookout standing on a high place, and the latter replied: "I haven't seen the promised signal yet!" ”

The fleet had been on for about an hour, and a small island appeared in Youfang. Shigehiro Shimazu recognized the uninhabited island and ordered the fleet to stop and wait for news. Later in the day, a clipper suddenly appeared in view and immediately signaled the promise. Shigehiro Shimazu was overjoyed to see this, and immediately ordered the clipper to be put in. The flagship signaled, and the clipper in the distance immediately sailed into the middle of the formation, and since the flagship gave the order to let it go, there was no warship to intercept it, and it was able to reach the flagship's side unimpeded.

The clipper leans against the flagship, and the sailors on the flagship throw down the rope ladder, and a person comes out of the clipper and climbs up the rope ladder to the flagship. This is a short, thin, thin-eyed guy, dressed in the costume of a Han fisherman, who walked quickly in front of Shimazu Shigehao, and bowed: "I've seen my lord!" ”

"Okita-kun doesn't have to be polite. What is the situation of Yanyun Water Army, is it all in the Long Island Water Village? "Changdao Water Village, originally Wang Hai's group of water thieves' nest, after returning to Yanyun, Changdao Water Village has been greatly expanded, and now it is the main base of Yanyun Water Army, and the water army without tasks will be stationed here.

Okita Taro said: "There is a group of sailors who went south at the beginning of the year, and I heard that it was the escort caravan that went to the Western Ocean, and it has not come back yet. The rest of the sailors are in the Long Island Water Village. ”

When Shigehiro Shimazu and the others heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up, and Shigehiro Shimazu asked, "Did the enemy make any moves, and did they find out about our actions?" Okita Taro shook his head and said, "No, they didn't make any changes. Shigehiro Shimazu nodded heavily, "Good!" Then he said regretfully: "It's a pity that we can't defeat them fairly!" Then he ordered the generals: "Pass the order, attack Long Island, and be sure to destroy the Yanyun Navy in one go!" Long for the emperor, ten thousand for the crown prince! The generals raised their arms together and shouted, "Long live the Emperor!" Long live for the prince! ”

Immediately, the flagship issued an order, and the huge Japanese fleet went to kill Changdao, the base of the Yanyun Naval Army. The Japanese secretly formed a navy for many years, waiting for this day to dominate the sea in World War I.

Look back to Yanjing. The Yan Yun scout galloped into Yanjing City, and then the scout appeared in the lobby of the Yan Wang's Mansion, kneeling down and saying: "Qi Yan Wang, the Khitan army has another 300,000 into Shunzhou!" ”

The generals under Yang Peng were all iron-blooded generals who rolled out of the pile of dead, but when they heard the size of the Khitan army, they still couldn't help but be shocked. Li Xu frowned and said: "As soon as these 300,000 come, the enemy army will be 600,000, this battle is not easy to fight!" ”

Yang Peng asked the scout: "How many infantry and how many cavalry are there in the enemy?" "Back to King Yan, the specific situation is unknown, it is estimated that there are 300,000 cavalry, of which 100,000 seem to be Mongolian cavalry, and the other 300,000 are all infantry troops." Yang Peng thought for a moment and said to the scout: "Continue to investigate." The scout said yes and ran down.

Yang Peng stood up and walked to the giant sand table placed in the middle of the hall, only to see the mountains and rivers on the sand table, the cities and towns, which were completely condensed versions of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the details in all aspects were vivid. The generals also walked to the sand table one after another.

Ya Yu Guanyin said: "If I lead the Khitan army, if the 600,000 army only attacks Yanjing, it will be too wasteful. As long as 300,000 infantry troops besiege Yanjing, 300,000 cavalry troops will attack from all sides to attack the city, or it won't be long before the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures will only be left with the lonely city of Yanjing City! ”

Yang Peng nodded and said, "I have expected this for a long time, so I ordered all states and counties to evacuate and transfer to the south early!" He pointed to Yanjing and said, "As long as the Khitan army can't capture Yanjing, even if it captures all the other prefectures and counties, it doesn't matter." Our first task now is to defend Yanjing, and everything else can be abandoned! He raised his head, glanced at everyone, and said, "How to defend, we have talked many times, I will not be verbose here, you each do your part." As long as we work together, we are not afraid of any enemy, and we will definitely be able to defend Yanjing! After listening to Yang Peng's words, everyone couldn't help but feel infinite confidence in their hearts, and they hugged their fists together.

Yang Peng ordered Yang Jiumei to send an order to all states and counties again: the people of all states and counties should immediately move to the south, and no property and materials should be left behind, and the grain and grass materials that could not be taken away should be hidden or burned on the spot, in short, nothing should be left to the Khitans; All states and counties do not need to rush to the rescue, and doing a good job of evacuation and transfer is a great achievement.

After the meeting ended, Yang Peng left Ye Yu Guanyin and asked, "Are those militias trained like this?" Ya Yu Guanyin said: "It's stronger than before, but I can't expect much from them." It is really difficult to say how much of a role these militias can play on the battlefield. It may be able to turn the tide at a critical time, but it may also cause chaos when the situation is still good, and the result is an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of. Therefore, I suggest that these civilian troops should not be transferred into the battlefield unless absolutely necessary. Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully, raised his head, and said with a smile: "You have to worry more about this matter of training the people's army!" ”

Ya Yu Guanyin sighed and said, "Big brother, this kind of thing, I think it's better for you to find someone else to do it." Yang Peng saw that she was a little excited, and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?" Ya Kannon shook his head, "It's nothing. ”

Yang Peng said: "Something must have happened, tell the eldest brother." Then his heart moved, and he frowned and asked, "Is there anyone questioning your identity?" Ye Yu Guanyin said: "Then it's no wonder that they are, I was originally a Khitan, and now the people who come to fight Yanjing are also Khitans, and it's normal for them not to believe me!" ”

Yang Peng said angrily: "Which bastards dare to be disrespectful to you?" Ya Kannon shook his head and said, "It's not disrespectful. Glancing at Yang Peng, he said self-deprecatingly: "No matter how I say it, I am also the princess of Yanwang, how dare they disrespect me, it's just that there are many complaints behind my back." He glanced at Yang Peng and said: "I can't do this thing of training the people's army, let's let Xiao Feng do it, there are many Khitans here, Xiao Feng is also a Khitan, he goes to train the people's army, it can be said that he is like a fish in water." ”

Yang Peng felt that what Ye Yu Guanyin said made sense, nodded, and looked at Ye Yu Guanyin with some apologies. Ya Yu Guanyin said angrily: "What are you looking at me like this? Do you think I'm going to cry? I don't take such a small thing to heart! Then he frowned and said worriedly: "I'm only worried about whether I can withstand the onslaught of the Khitan army now!" Looking at Yang Peng, Zhengse said: "Big brother, with all due respect, although the second army of Yanyun is all elite in a hundred battles, brave and good at fighting, but after all, the difference in strength is too great, I think the probability of defeat in this battle accounts for ninety percent, and it is impossible for us to hold out until the reinforcements arrive!" ”

Yang Peng didn't move, and nodded lightly.

Ya Yu Guanyin continued, "Since it is very likely that we will not be able to protect Yanjing, we need to prepare for the worst! Yang Peng looked at Ya Yu Guanyin and asked, "What do you think we should do?" Ye Yu Guanyin glanced at Yang Peng and said, "First of all, the most important point, the safety of the eldest brother must be guaranteed, the safety of the eldest brother is much more important than the entire sixteen states of Yanyun and more than two million people!" Therefore, once the situation is critical, the eldest brother should not care about anything else, and must first break out of the encirclement! As long as the eldest brother is safe, the sixteen states of Yanyun will be recovered sooner or later, so why care too much about the gains and losses of one city and one place? On the contrary, if the eldest brother has three longs and two shorts, it will not only be a disaster in the sixteen states of Yanyun, but the entire Yanyun will be overturned! Which is more important, the eldest brother is much smarter than the younger sister, so she can naturally see it clearly! ”

Yang Peng frowned and nodded, and said, "If the situation really reaches the point of being out of control, I will naturally not lose a big one because of a small one!" Ye Yu Guanyin smiled, and said: "Actually, it is the city of Yanjing, I mean, if Yanjing can't hold it, just hand over Yanjing and the people of Yanjing to the Khitans in their entirety, don't do any destruction, and don't do urban street battles to anger the Khitans!" ”

Yang Peng joked: "If you say this, I'm afraid that many people will say that you are a traitor." ”

Ye Yu Guanyin looked at Yang Peng, and said angrily: "I don't care what others say, I only care about your opinion, do you also think I'm a traitor?" ”

Yang Peng walked up to Ye Yu Guanyin, grabbed her pair of slender hands, and said softly: "Big brother knows that you are planning for big brother. He pointed to Yanjing on the sand table and said, "The reason why you want to preserve Yanjing as much as possible is because you want to recover a prosperous city, not a ruin, when we recover Yanjing in the future!" ”

Ya Yu Guanyin's eyes showed a gentle color, raised his right fist and gently slapped Yang Peng's chest, and said softly: "You are worthy of being my man, and you finally did not disappoint me!" Yang Peng's heart couldn't help but flutter, his hands wrapped around her slender waist, and as soon as he tightened, Ye Yan Guanyin's delicate body was tightly attached to Yang Peng's body, Ye Yan Guanyin raised his head and glanced at Yang Peng, and said angrily: "What do you want to do?" Yang Peng said with a smile: "What do you say I want to do?" Ya Kannon snorted, "You must want to do something bad!" ”

Yang Peng suddenly hugged Ya Yu Guanyin horizontally, Ye Yu Guanyin was caught off guard and exclaimed angrily: "Put me down!" ”

Yang Pengheng walked out of the hall from the back door with Ye Yu Guanyin in his arms and walked briskly towards the backyard bedroom. Ya Yin Guanyin thinks that there are still many things to deal with now, how can you have such leisure? As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but get angry, and struggled and shouted, "Let me go!" ......" but he didn't expect the eldest brother to bury his head and kiss his red lips. The shouting stopped abruptly, and in an instant, a wonderful sensation like an electric shock spread from the lips and tongue all over the body, and consciousness became blurred, and the soul seemed to fly up to the clouds. ……

Shunzhou Jing military camp. Yeron Tiger City gathered all the generals to discuss the strategy of the march. Ye Hu Cheng said loudly: "Our army is 600,000 strong, and even if the enemy army is all reinforced, it will only be 100,000. I decided that the 300,000 infantry troops would attack Yanjing, and the 300,000 cavalry would be divided into six teams, attacking in all directions, and sweeping the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures in one go! The generals agreed in unison, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Later that day, Yeyu Hucheng led an army of 300,000 troops from Shunzhou to the south, crossed the Wenyu River, and went straight to Yanjing. At the same time, 300,000 war horses, divided into six teams, attacked from all sides, rushed wildly, like bloodthirsty wolves, engulfing cities and villages, the entire land of Yanyun was full of wolf smoke, and the sixteen states of Yanyun quickly fell.

Yelu Hucheng led 300,000 troops to Yanjing City, lined up in a large array, shouted in unison, and the beast-like roar rolled over Yanjing City like rolling thunder. The soldiers of the Second Legion were not afraid of facing an enemy six times their size, but the people in Yanjing City raised their hearts to their throats.

Yelu Tiger City immediately looked at the majestic giant city in front of him, and a heroic spirit surged into his heart, and he shouted; "Someone's coming!" One of the generals immediately rushed up, bowed down and asked, "What does the king command?" Ye Hu Cheng pointed to Yanjing City and said, "Go, just say I want to see the eldest princess!" The general answered the promise and rushed away. When he came to the city gate, he reined in his horse and shouted: "We, the protector of the Great Liao Kingdom, want to see the eldest princess!" "I called it a few times.

Ye Yu Guanyin looked at Yang Peng, and Yang Peng also looked at Ye Yu Guanyin, and saw a hint of pleading in her eyes. Yang Peng said: "Guanyin, you and Ye Yu Hucheng have been separated for a long time, there must be something to say, so let's go and meet him." ”

Ya Kannon was moved, and the others all showed worriedness, but they couldn't say it.

Ye Yu Guanyin turned around and went down the city gate tower, and then the city gate opened and closed, and Ye Yu Guanyin, who was dressed in black phoenix armor and wore a dark cloak, ran out of the city gate alone. The Khitan general under the city gate immediately led Yeyu Guanyin towards Yehu Hucheng, and Yeyu Hucheng was riding his horse at this time.

In the blink of an eye, the two met between the armies of both sides and reined in their horses. When the brother and sister saw each other, they couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and the past came to their hearts like a cloud of smoke. Ye Hu Cheng said: "Little sister, now that our Great Liao Kingdom has restored stability, the scourge of Brother Ye Hu has been eliminated, come back, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will definitely not treat you badly!" ”

Ye Yu Guanyin sighed and said, "Fifth brother, you know me best, I can't go back!" Yelu Hucheng frowned and asked angrily, "Do you want to help the Yanyun people deal with the Khitans?" Don't forget, you yourself are Khitan! ”

Ye Yu Guanyin said: "Since I left the Liao Kingdom to be the wife of the eldest brother, I am no longer a Khitan, I am the princess of Yanwang, and I want to fight for him!" No matter who the opponent is, I will not show mercy! There was a hint of helplessness and firmness in his tone.

Yelu Hucheng stared at Yeyu Guanyin and asked, "Little sister, are you going to be an enemy of your brother?" Ya Yin Guanyin showed a look of pain and said, "Although I don't want to, it's inevitable!" Big brother, I'm sorry! ”

Ye Hu Cheng sighed, nodded, and said: "We Khitan people have a proverb, 'There is no turning back arrow when you open the bow', it seems that you are the arrow that shoots out, and you will never look back!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, but the determination in her heart was unwavering, she had already made up her mind, she was willing to sacrifice everything for her eldest brother in this life and this life. Suddenly thinking of his mother, he asked with concern: "Big brother, mother concubine, is she okay?" ”

Ye Hu Cheng nodded and said, "I arranged for her to live in a palace outside Zhongjing City, she is all right, she lives peacefully, but she thinks of you from time to time." Little sister, don't you want to come back for her? ”

Ya Yu Guanyin burst into tears and said: "Daughter, daughter is not filial, I'm sorry for my mother, my mother's kindness, my daughter can only repay it in the next life!" As soon as she said this, Yehu Hucheng understood her mind and said nothing more. He glanced up at the gate tower of Yanjing and said, "Yang Peng, you are a great hero, and you are indeed worthy of you!" It's just that this time he's just afraid that he will be in the middle of the catastrophe! Ya Yu Guanyin said categorically: "Where he goes, I will go, if he dies, I will never live alone!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng was shocked, he originally thought that this little sister would only walk with Yang Peng because of refuge, but at this moment, he found that her feelings for that Yan King were so deep! Ye Yu Hucheng said: "Little sister, you can do it yourself, after the war, the eldest brother will not scruple or anything because of you!" Ye Yu Guanyin said: "The eldest brother is too, on the battlefield, you and I are our own masters, and the younger sister will not show mercy to your subordinates!" Ye Hu Cheng laughed and said loudly: "Okay, it is worthy of my sister in Ye Hu City, how many heroes in the world can have such courage!" Little sister, let's say goodbye, see you on the battlefield! Ye Hu Guanyin nodded, turned his horse's head and ran back to the city, and Ye Hu Cheng also turned his horse's head and ran back to his own army.

Ye Hu Cheng returned to the military formation, raised his right hand, and the sound of the horn sounded loudly, and the Khitan soldiers shouted one after another, like thunder, like a tsunami, and the momentum of the Khitan army became stronger and stronger in the process of this shout, which was really shocking. However, the soldiers of the Second Legion on the city wall were unmoved, their expressions were cold and rock-solid.

With a wave of his hand, hundreds of heavy catapults and more than a hundred cannons were pushed in front of the formation. The reason why Yelu Hucheng only marched into Yanjing at this moment is not entirely to wait for the reinforcements, but mainly to wait for these heavy siege weapons, Yelu Hucheng knows that Yanjing City, which is personally controlled by King Yan, no matter how weak the troops are, is not easy to take, and it is easy to attack the city with a good weapon in hand.

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