Ye Hu Cheng snorted, glanced at the generals, and said, "We haven't lost yet, we can still turn defeat into victory, and the victory is ours in the end!" "The generals are not as confident as him, they are only worried about another big defeat, and they are afraid that this life will be lost, but the king is now angry and angry, and he is afraid that he will not listen to anything!

The scout officer rushed in in a hurry, and hurriedly reported: "The king is not good, Yanyun army, Yanyun army is coming to Shunzhou!" ”

Ye Yu Tiger City and the others were shocked, and the originally silent tent became noisy again, and everyone had a panicked look on their faces, at a loss, and panicked, like a pheasant hearing the name of the tiger wolf. Yelu Tiger City settled down and asked the scout, "Who is leading the army?" How many soldiers and horses came? The scout said: "Yes, it is King Yan who personally leads the army, and the army is mighty, but I am afraid that there are nearly 200,000 horses!" ”

Han Chang exclaimed, "King Yan is planning to completely defeat us in one fell swoop!" The generals echoed, and they all looked very panicked.

Yelu Hucheng shouted: "What are you panicking about? The generals' hearts sank, and the scene fell silent. Yelu Hucheng stood up, walked to the middle of the big tent, glanced at the generals, and said loudly: "We are the warriors of the Great Liao Kingdom, what does it look like to be so flustered!" The generals couldn't help but feel ashamed in their hearts, but the fear still lingered in their hearts.

Ye Hu Cheng said: "Don't look at Yang Peng, he took advantage of a little, in fact, the situation is still very unfavorable for them!" The Japanese are attacking Yanyun on the two fronts of Hebei and Huaibei, while Western Liao and Tubo are storming the Hexi Corridor, as long as we can hold on, Yanyun will definitely have a big change, and at that time, our opportunity will come! The generals felt that what Ye Hu Cheng said was extremely true, and they couldn't help but nod their heads. Zheng Shilong asked, "King, but how should we deal with Yan Yunjun now?" Our army suffered a new defeat, suffered heavy losses, and what was more serious was the morale of the army, and a large number of grain and grass were destroyed, just afraid, only afraid......" Zheng Shilong did not continue, but everyone understood what he wanted to say, and they couldn't help but worry.

Ye Hu Cheng frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "For today's plan, we can only avoid the edge for the time being!" Glancing at the generals, he ordered: "Pass the order, after the cavalry is broken, the army will retreat to Danzhou, and at the same time send someone to ask Niangniang for help!" When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, they were originally worried that the king would be carried away by anger and want to fight with Yan Yunjun, if that was the case, it would be too unwise, but fortunately, the king's anger turned into anger, and his brain was still clear. ……

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the herald galloped into the capital of Liaoguo. Pedestrians on the street hurriedly gave way when they saw the fast horses with the flag on their backs galloping towards them. When the horses had galloped past, many people began to talk about it.

Wang Jun, the empress dowager of Liao, heard that the army in front had arrived, so she hurried to the study and saw a herald waiting in the study. When the herald saw the Queen Mother coming in, he quickly knelt down and said, "The villain meets the Queen Mother!" ”

Wang Jun walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down, and asked, "Did you send you here from Yelu Tiger City?" The herald replied, "Yes, the villain is a herald under the command of Yelu Tiger City, and he has been ordered to present the letter to the mother!" After speaking, he untied a cloth bag from his back, untied the cloth bag, took out a red lacquered wooden box, and held it high with both hands.

Seeing this, the eunuch standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward, took the wooden box, and presented it to Wang Jun. Wang Jun took the wooden box, checked that the sealing mud was not damaged, put down the wooden box, picked up a brilliant dagger from the bookcase, pulled it out, and picked up the sealing mud. Then he put down the dagger, opened the wooden box, and took out a letter from it. Seeing that there was nothing written on the envelope, he opened the envelope, took out the stationery, and unfolded it.

Originally, Wang Jun's face was full of hope and anticipation, but this look soon disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by an incomparably frightened look, as if he had seen a ghost, his face was pale, his eyes were wide, and his hands holding the letter paper trembled slightly. Wang Jun settled down, hurriedly looked at the herald, and asked angrily, "You have fought a big defeat?!" ”

The herald looked terrified and said, "Yes, yes." Immediately after that, he briefly told the events of several major battles.

Wang Jun was shocked and angry, but he wanted to reprimand Yelu Hucheng, but he couldn't find a reason to reprimand, because according to the herald's description, Yelu Hucheng's performance in these big tents could be said to be very good, and if he changed any opponent, he would have already been defeated and lost without a place to bury! But that Yan King, not only did he not lose, but he expected the enemy to use his strength to fight first, and he used Yehu Hucheng's own strategy to defeat Yelu Hucheng several times in a row, which can really be said to be miraculous! Finally, it has created a situation where the offensive and defensive situation is now changing! Ye Yu Tiger City didn't do anything wrong, it's just that his opponent is too powerful, too powerful!

Wang Jun was silent for a long time, and couldn't help muttering: "Yan King Yang Peng, is it really invincible?" The 600,000 army was unexpectedly unable to defeat their 200,000 horses, but ended up like this! He is really a peerless hero who is rare to see in hundreds of years! Thinking of the current unfavorable battle situation, she couldn't help but feel a wave of fear in her heart, but then calmed down again, because she thought of Yan Yun's overall situation now. Although the Khitan army was defeated, the Khitan army was still strong, and although the morale of the Yanyun army was like a rainbow, it was impossible to achieve a decisive victory in a short period of time; And the Japanese people, Western Liao, and Tubo are all attacking Yanyun, and the situation of the Yanyun army on other fronts is definitely not good, at the same time, Han Derang's people are operating inside Yanyun, and it is said that some results have been achieved; There are also the Song people in the south, according to the news from Wang Qinruo, the Song State is gathering a large army, and it will be able to launch a large-scale offensive against Jiangbei in ten days at the earliest!

Yan Yun's main force and elite are now pressed on our side, as long as we contain Yan Yun's main force, others will definitely be able to threaten Yan Yun's hinterland! In that case, the Yanyun army here will have to transfer support, and our army will be able to take the opportunity to counterattack! As soon as he thought of this, Wang Jun had an idea in his heart, and immediately ordered someone to summon Zhang Chang, and did not say the content of Ye Yu Hucheng's letter, but just told him to quickly mobilize grain and grass and transport it to Danzhou. After Zhang Chang left, Wang Jun ordered Xiao Tiehegan, the general of the tun army on the Tokyo Road, to lead his 150,000 troops to rush to the aid of Yelu Hucheng, and at the same time ordered the Mongolian general Lakshen to lead the 100,000 Mongolian soldiers who were being reorganized to the south of Danzhou, and then ordered the 150,000 soldiers and horses stationed on the Shangjing Road to return to Zhongjing. Up to this moment, except for a few of the king's cronies, the court and the central government did not know the situation of the battle in the south, and they all thought that their army was advancing vigorously and was winning.

Ye Hu Cheng led the army to retreat to Danzhou, and soon after received a reply from Wang Jun, learning that 250,000 troops from all walks of life were rushing to support, and the grain and grass were already on the way, and he couldn't help but feel reassured. felt that he had to turn over the capital again, so he immediately ordered all armies to step up the repair of the city wall of Danzhou, and put on a posture of defending Danzhou.

Yelang Hucheng and the generals planned a counteroffensive strategy: "I have sent people to send an order to Tie Hangan and Lakshen, asking them not to come directly to Danzhou, but to let Tie Hangan lead the 150,000 troops under his command to Yinye Mountain in the southeast of Danzhou, and order Lakshen to go to Luoshan in the west of Danzhou." Our army deliberately showed weakness and let the Yanyun army attack, and then the army of Hegan and Lakshen outflanked left and right, encircling and annihilating the Yanyun army in one fell swoop! ”

The generals felt that the strategy of Ye Yu Tiger City was foolproof, and they couldn't help but nod. Barron said excitedly: "No matter how cunning Yang Peng, the king of Yan, is, he never expected that we would have 250,000 reinforcements about to arrive on the battlefield so soon!" Everyone nodded thoughtfully, and Han Chang said: "The king has a heart to calculate whether he has a heart or not, this battle will be won!" The generals chimed in. Ye Hu Cheng said fiercely: "This time I want to make Yang Peng often fail miserably, and it is the taste of defeat!" ”

Hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside, and everyone couldn't help but follow the voice, only to see a scout officer rushing in, kneeling down and saying, "King Qiyu, the army of Yanyun has left Shunzhou and is coming towards us!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng laughed, glanced at the generals, and said, "The prey is about to fall into the trap!" Han Chang immediately said: "The king has no last resort, so how can Yang Peng, the king of Yan, be the opponent of the king!" Zheng Shilong followed: "The king has a little trick, then Yang Peng will be doomed!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng smiled and said to the generals: "All armies act according to my orders, no one is allowed to attack without authorization, and those who violate it will be killed!" The generals agreed in unison, and Yukan exited the hall.

In the next day, Yeyu Tiger City learned from the scouts that the Yanyun army led by Yang Peng was approaching, and he was a little impatient. At the same time, he received news from Xiao Tiehegan and Lakshen, and learned that they had entered Luoshan and Yinye Mountain respectively according to his orders. A big net has been opened, and now it is waiting for Yang Peng to lead Yan Yunjun into the net.

On this morning, Ye Yu Hucheng stood on the south gate tower and looked at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the south, looking forward to the appearance of Yan Yunjun in his heart. I can't help but feel that soon, this beautiful mountain and river will become a Shura hell full of corpses and rivers of blood, he seems to see the scene of corpses piling up like mountains and rivers of blood, and he can't help but be extremely excited!

A moment later, a dark shadow appeared in the sky, and the black shadow quickly approached, and soon it became clear that it was a knight, galloping from a distance. Seeing that the person who came was not a scout, but a herald sent to the Japanese side before, Ya Hu Cheng couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

The herald galloped into the city gate, and then came to the front of the Tiger City, knelt down and said, "The slave greets the king!" Ya Hu Cheng asked, "Did you come from the Japanese people?" The herald said, "Yes! The slave has an urgent military situation to report to the king! ”

Ye Hu Cheng hurriedly said, "Did the Japanese defeat the Yan Yun Army?" The herald shook his head solemnly and said, "The 200,000 troops of the Japanese who landed in Hebei were counterattacked by the 200,000 Yanyun army led by Xiang Danian, and they were defeated in three battles and suffered heavy losses, and they have retreated to the hill east of Yanshan County. "The so-called 'hill' is actually the name of a mountain, located fifty or sixty miles east of Yanshan, the hill is only more than forty miles away from the sea, and there is a Xuanhui River next to it, which can lead directly into the sea.

Ye Hu Cheng frowned, and the generals whispered, everyone was not surprised by such a result, because nearly 600,000 of their own troops were defeated by Yan Yun's 200,000 army, and if the 200,000 Japanese people and horses could withstand the 200,000 Yan Yun army, it would really be unreasonable!

Yelu Hucheng asked the herald, "Are the Japanese retreating to the hill preparing to retreat by boat?" ”

The herald said, "The Japanese had planned to do so before, but now I'm afraid they can't do it!" ......" Everyone was puzzled, and Yeren Hucheng asked, "What does this mean?" The herald said: "Because the Japanese navy was ambushed by the Yanyun navy and suffered heavy losses, it has fled eastward!" The crowd was shocked, and Barron exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible? Not long ago, didn't it say that the Japanese naval army defeated the Yanyun naval army and occupied Long Island, and was chasing and killing the remnants of the enemy? Why did he suddenly encounter an ambush by Yanyun's navy and flee with heavy losses? ”

Ye Hu Cheng frowned and said, "I'm afraid that the so-called defeat of the Yan Yun Water Army before was just a trap of the Yan Yun people!" They deliberately deceive the enemy, lure the enemy into an ambush circle, and then launch it suddenly! ”

The herald said, "The king is right, that's how it is!" Yelu Hucheng looked at the herald and frowned, "But how did this ambush ring be laid down?" According to the report received before, the main force of the Yanyun Naval Army was all in the waters of Long Island, and after that, it was closely pursued by the Japanese all the way, and it was impossible to have time to arrange a trap that was enough to defeat the huge Japanese naval army! ”

The herald said, "It is said that the ambusher is Yan Yun's cruiser!" "The so-called 'cruiser fleet', as the name suggests, is a fleet composed of new types of cruisers like Yanyun, and the Yanyun cruiser fleet has a total of sixty, and its strength is very strong.

Ye Hu Cheng and the others were taken aback when they heard the herald's words, and Han Chang said, "This is impossible! Hasn't Yan Yun's cruiser been blockading our shores all the time? If they leave, we can't be unaware! The generals nodded, all of them agreeing.

Yelu Hucheng looked at the herald and asked, "Are you sure it's Yan Yun's cruiser?" The herald thought for a moment and said, "According to the defeated Japanese sailors, after their fleet pursued the Yanyun fleet into a water area surrounded by islands and reefs, countless large gunboats with pointed and high sails suddenly appeared in all directions, and they were caught off guard and were bombarded indiscriminately by these gunboats, and in an instant, they suffered heavy losses and chaos!" The slave thought that this large gunboat with a 'pointed head and high sails' could only be Yan Yun's cruiser, so it was judged that it was Yan Yun's cruiser who ambushed the Japanese sailors! ”

Ye Hu Cheng said: "You are right. If you say that, Yanyun's cruiser fleet has long left our shores. After a pause, he frowned, and said very puzzledly: "But why didn't the coastal guard force and local officials report this important situation?" Thinking of the dereliction of duty by those generals and officials, he couldn't help but be angry, and said: "This matter must not be settled like this, I will definitely make the dereliction of duty pay!" ”

Yelu Hucheng looked at the herald and asked, "Where did the Yanyun Naval Army go after defeating the Japanese Naval Army?" ”

The herald shook his head and said, "I don't know about this!" "Ya Hu Hucheng paced back and forth, thinking about the possible impact of the defeat of the Japanese people on his side: 'Now that the Japanese army has fled in defeat, the Yanyun water army can wantonly launch a fierce attack on our coast, but although this will cause considerable losses to our side, it will not be very harmful. What would I do if I were Yanyun? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a stir in my heart, and frowned: "Those widows, I'm afraid it's going to be finished!" Shaking his head, he put the matter aside for the time being, and said to the herald: "You go back immediately, and report any situation in time!" The herald answered and ran down, and after a few moments he saw him galloping out of the city gate on horseback, and speeding away.

Yelu Hucheng said to a herald beside him: "You immediately rush back to Zhongjing and report the defeat of the Japanese to Niangniang!" The herald said yes and ran down.

Han Chang said worriedly: "If the 200,000 Yan Yun army in the south goes north after annihilating the Japanese people, our situation will not be good!" The generals were worried. Yeyu Tiger City looked at the wasteland and mountains outside the city, and frowned: "I hope Yang Peng will come to attack the city as soon as possible!" As long as this Yanyun main force is eliminated, even if the Yanyun army in the south goes north to reinforce, they will not be afraid! The generals thought so, and their hearts couldn't help but long.

Yang Peng led the army to march straight to Danzhou, at this time Yang Peng did not know the news that the 250,000 reinforcements of the Khitan army had arrived, and thought that the Khitan army in front of him was the 300,000 Khitan army that had just escaped from the defeat not long ago, although he only had 200,000, but the morale was strong, and it was very possible to defeat the other party's 300,000 soldiers and horses!

In the evening of that day, the army arrived at Niulan Mountain, which was still fifty miles away from Danzhou. The army set up camp here, and after resting for the night, it will march to the city of Danzhou tomorrow.

Late at night, Yang Peng still didn't rest, still standing in front of the map and thinking. Hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind him, and a young man's voice came: "King Qiyu, the whole army of Yeyu Tiger City is cowering in Danzhou City, it seems that they have made up their minds to stick to Danzhou City!" ”

Yang Peng's gaze fell on Danzhou, and he muttered, "Ye Yu Tiger City, do you think that with the defeat of the 300,000 remnants of the army in your hands, you can compete with my 200,000 tiger and wolf army with high morale?" There was a moment of silence, then he turned around. Seeing the scout officer kneeling on one knee not far away, he asked, "Has anything been found around Danzhou?" The scout said: "Back to King Yan, twenty miles around Danzhou, except for the discovery of Khitan scouts, no unusual signs have been found. ”

Yang Peng turned to look at the map again, thought for a moment, and muttered, "It seems that I am too worried!" In this situation, what tricks can Yeron Tiger City perform? Now is a great opportunity to recover Danzhou in one fell swoop and inflict heavy losses on the Khitan army, but you can't miss it suspiciously! Thinking of this, I left a trace of worry in my heart behind.

Turning around, he said to the scout, "Keep investigating." The scout officer said yes and withdrew from the tent.

Yang Peng returned to the back of the bookcase and sat down, picked up the letters he received not long ago, and read them. This is a letter sent from Tianjing New Town, Yang Peng looked at it, and couldn't help but show a sweet smile, although he was on the battlefield in a harsh environment at this moment, but a heart had flown to Tianjing New City thousands of miles away.

Yang Peng read several letters from beginning to end, sniffed them again, and showed an intoxicated look on his face. He put the letter away, got up and walked out of the tent. The night breeze blew in his face, and the whole person only felt a clear mind, and couldn't help but take a deep breath and move his muscles.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and I saw a herald running to the front of the gate, and the horse stopped. The token was immediately presented, and the guards guarding the gate saw this and immediately opened the gate. The herald immediately rode his horse into the gate, and went straight to Chen Xiao before he reined in his horse, turned over, and knelt down and said, "King Qiyan, Commander Wang Hai sent someone to send an urgent report of the military situation!" "Yang Peng's encounter has always been Taishan collapsing in front of him and his color has not changed, but when he heard the herald's words at this moment, he couldn't help but move. The herald untied the bamboo tube on his back and held it high with both hands.

Wang Kai stepped forward to take the bamboo tube and handed it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the bamboo tube, picked up the sealing mud, twisted the lid, and poured out a letter. He returned the bamboo tube to Wang Kai, opened the envelope, took out the stationery, and unfolded it to look at it. There was a sudden look of great joy on his face, and he couldn't help muttering, "Okay! Wang Hai, Wang Rong did a really beautiful job! ”

Early the next morning, Yang Peng spread the news of the great victory of the navy to the whole army, and the morale of the soldiers of the whole army couldn't help but be excited, and I don't know who took the lead in shouting: 'Long live King Yan!' The whole army shouted: "Long live King Yan!" Long live King Yan! ......" sound shook the sky, echoing between heaven and earth.

Immediately, the army marched towards Yanjing, and everyone of the soldiers held back their strength, determined to defeat the Khitan army in one fell swoop and recapture Danzhou!

At the same time, the Khitan scouts informed the Yanyun army of the movements of Yeyun Tiger City. Yelu Hucheng was excited, and immediately sent a herald to send an order to the army ambushed in Luoshan and Yinye Mountain, asking them to immediately go south as soon as they received the order and copy the back road of Yan Yun's army. At the same time, all the troops garrisoning Danju were ordered to be ready for battle.

Tie Gan and Lakshen, who were ambushed in Luoshan and Yinye Mountain, received orders from Yelu Tiger City and immediately marched south with their large army. At this time, Yan Yun was still completely in the dark, completely unaware that two Khitan armies were outflanking one on the left and one on the right. At this time, the Khitans had already set up a huge crab formation, and they were preparing to clamp down on the Yan Yun army in one fell swoop, and then wipe it out.

The army of Yanyun is marching. Suddenly, many ordinary people rushed out of the bushes on the hillside in front of them, running and shouting in this direction, looking full of surprise. Seeing this, Yang Peng immediately ordered the army to stop. The forward troops stopped those ordinary people, only to see an old man hurriedly say: "We are the people of Yanyun!" Please, save us! ”

Meng Hu, the general of the forward unit and the commander of the left army directly under the legion, ran in front of Yang Peng, hugged his fists and said: "Big brother, it's a group of people, I hope we can bring them!" Yang Peng glanced at the people and said, "They should be the people of Danzhou," and then beat his horse and walked towards the people, and everyone followed.

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