Chapter 516, Pocket Array,

The people were originally noisy, but when they saw a group of general-looking people coming, they couldn't help but close their mouths, and the scene suddenly fell silent, and they all looked at those general-like people.

Yang Peng and others came to the people. Yang Peng glanced at it and found that there were hundreds of people, men, women and children, and many of them had panicked faces, as if they had just been frightened. Yang Jing, who was next to Yang Peng, asked the people with a grin, "Where did you come from?" Is it really our Yanyun's people? ”

The people hurriedly nodded yes, and one of the old men said: "General, we originally lived in Danzhou, but the Khitans called, so we fled into Yinye Mountain. Prepare to hide in the mountains, and return home after our King Yanyun recaptures Danzhou. Ay! ......" The old man sighed suddenly, and his wrinkled face showed a look of sorrow. Yang Jing said angrily: "What are you sighing for?" Don't you believe we can recapture Danzhou? When the old man heard this, he was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, the little old man never meant this!" ”

Yang Jing's eyes widened, "Then what are you sighing for?" The old man sighed again, and suddenly realized that the dark-skinned and fierce general opposite didn't like to sigh for himself, and he was shocked, and quickly explained: "Little Lao'er is sighing for himself and for the neighbors!" We people may have committed Tai Sui, and we were first driven out of our homes by the Khitans and hid in the mountains, but it didn't take long for the Khitan army to find us! Everyone dies and flees, we are fateful! Yang Peng's heart moved.

The old man bowed to Yang Jing and said, "General, please take us with you!" When he asked for this, all the people begged, and the scene became noisy again! Seeing that Yang Jing did not speak, the people knelt down one after another and continued to plead.

Yang Jing pursed his lips and said, "I can only kill people, but I won't save people!" As soon as these words came out, all the people immediately closed their mouths, and all of them turned pale with a look of horror in their eyes. Yang Peng raised his voice and said: "Don't be afraid, my brother has always liked to talk nonsense, everyone get up!" The people looked at each other, and the old man glanced at Yang Jing, and said tremblingly: "This general, really, really scared the little old man, the little old man!" Yang Jing opened his mouth, he was laughing, but in the eyes of the people, he was terrified, and they looked away, not daring to look at him again.

Yang Peng saw that the people were still kneeling, so he turned over and dismounted, walked in front of everyone, stretched out his hand to help the old man, and said to everyone: "Folks, get up." Seeing Yang Peng's kind attitude, the people couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved and stood up one after another.

The old man begged Yang Peng; "General, don't leave us behind! Otherwise, or we people will die! The other people begged for the rest of the people, and it took a long time for them to calm down again.

Yang Peng glanced at everyone and said to the old man: "The old man doesn't have to worry, it is the duty of the Yanyun Army to protect the people of Yanyun, and we will never leave you!" When the people heard this, they could not help but rejoice, and some of them wept with joy.

Yang Peng pointed to the guide and said: "Not long ago, the Khitan army has been defeated by us, and now that the south is safe, you can go to Yanjing first, and the local government will take good care of you." When we have recovered Danzhou, you will return home. The people didn't know that the Khitan army had been defeated, and after listening to Yang Peng's words, they were all surprised, and the old man asked excitedly: "General, is what you said true?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true!" The old man couldn't help but say, "Great! That's great! Hmph, I said that those Khitans can't grow the tail of a rabbit, and sure enough, I said it! ”

Yang Peng asked, "Old man, did you just say that you were originally hiding in the Yinye Mountain in the southeast of Danzhou?" The old man nodded and said, "Yes, we have thousands of people hiding in Yinye Mountain," and then showed a look of grief and indignation, only to hear him continue: "I don't know if we committed Tai Sui, we hide in Yinye Mountain, and the Khitan people can also find it!" Hey, the Khitans killed people when they saw them, and only our lives escaped! The rest of the people also looked like they were in a state of distress, and some of them wept bitterly.

Yang Jing said angrily: "Since the Khitans are coming to kill you, you should fight with the Khitans!" The people looked at each other, and the old man said bitterly: "General, we are just ordinary people, where are the opponents of the Khitans!" ......" Yang Jing wanted to say more, but was stopped by Yang Peng's eyes and was depressed.

Yang Peng asked the old man again: "When did the Khitan army appear in Yinye Mountain, and how many people are there?" The old man thought for a moment and said, "It was a day ago." How many people's words, it seems, anyway, there are all over the mountains! A young man behind the old man raised his voice: "There may be more than 100,000 people!" Many people agreed. Yang Jing said with a grin: "It's really a strange thing, there are more than 300,000 people in Yeyu Tiger City, and more than 100,000 people are sent to Yinye Mountain to do what?" ”

Yang Peng pondered for a moment, and said to Jiao Ting: "Jiao Ting, you take these villagers down and send a team of soldiers to escort them to Yanjing." Jiao Ting clenched his fists and promised. All the people thanked Yang Peng one after another, and then followed Jiao Ting. The people were grateful to Yang Peng in their hearts, and the old man couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask the general, who was that general just now?" Jiao Ting said: "Don't you know?" He is the Lord of Yan Yun, King Yan! The people were stunned, and everyone was so excited that they couldn't express that feeling in words. Someone said in a trembling and infinitely excited voice: "I, I actually saw King Yan!" ”

The old man said with some concern: "General, King Yan personally led the army to fight the enemy, this, this is too dangerous!" If King Yan had three longs and two shorts, we little people wouldn't want to live! The rest of the people were worried.

Jiao Ting laughed and said, "Old man, don't worry, there is no one in the world who is the opponent of King Yan, and there is no enemy that King Yan cannot defeat!" King Yan is the god of war in the sky, invincible in the world! Not long ago, the Liao protector king Ye Yu Hucheng led an army of 600,000 to attack Yanjing, and the king of Yan led us to three battles and three victories, killing the Khitan corpses all over the field, and fled in embarrassment, and now only 300,000 horses are left to flee to Danzhou! ”

When the people heard that King Yan led his army to defeat the 600,000 troops of the Liao State in three battles and three victories, they were really surprised, admired and admired, and everyone showed extremely excited expressions. Jiao Ting smiled and said: "So, the Khitan army in front of you is just a defeated general under King Yan, and it is not worth mentioning at all!" The people felt that Jiao Ting was too right, and nodded one after another.

Yang Jing came to Yang Peng's side and said, "Big brother, what are you still doing standing here, let's continue to march." Yang Peng looked up at the northeast direction, pointed over there and asked, "Yinye Mountain is in that direction, right?" Yang Jing looked in the direction of Yang Peng's finger and said, "I don't know what kind of bird fart mountain the silver mine smelting mountain is, big brother, you asked me the wrong person!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, patted Yang Jing's shoulder, and walked up the hillside next to the official road to look northeast. The crowd followed him, not understanding what he was thinking.

Yang Peng said: "Ye Yu Hucheng divided hundreds of thousands of troops to go to Yinye Mountain, this is too unreasonable!" Yang Jing grinned and said, "I think he was stupid by us, so he did things upside down!" The crowd laughed. Yang Peng said with a smile: "Ye Hu Cheng is a man with iron will, and he is not so easy to be beaten stupid!" After a pause, he pondered: "Ye Yu Tiger City must be targeting us if he takes such an action at this time!" He turned to Wang Kai and said, "Bring the map." Wang Kai immediately beckoned the guards to bring the map and unfold it in front of Yang Peng. The generals came to both sides of Yang Peng and looked at the map with Yang Peng.

Yang Peng pointed to Yinye Mountain and said: "Yinye Mountain is in the southeast of Danzhou, if an army is arranged here, you can take the opportunity of our onslaught on Danzhou and copy our back road." The generals were shocked, but Yang Jing pursed his lips and said angrily: "This is a fart!" His 300,000 men and horses are our defeated men, can they surround us? The generals were stunned, and they all felt that what Yang Jing said made sense. Meng Hu said: "Yang Jing is right. Pointing to the map, "This tactic of the Khitans is good, but with the current situation, it is impossible for them to surround us!" If they hold on to the city, they can hold on to us, but if they go out of the city to fight, will they not be sent to death? The generals chimed in.

Yang Peng pondered: "Ye Yu Tiger City is not a horseman, Yang Jing can imagine such a situation, can he not think of it?" But why would he do it? ”

Yang Peng looked at other places next to Danzhou, saw Luoshan in the west of Danzhou, and couldn't help but move his heart, muttering: "If this is a trap to lure the king into the urn," he pointed to Luoshan, "Then another army of soldiers and horses should be ambushed on this side of Luoshan!" Yang Jing smiled: "I think that Ye Hu City may be tired of life!" Big brother, don't hesitate, hurry up! ”

Yang Peng pondered for a moment and said, "If it is concerned with the 300,000 defeated soldiers in the hands of Yeyu Tiger City, this is indeed self-defeating!" However, if a large number of reinforcements came from within the Liao State, the situation would be different! Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Meng Hu's eyes widened and said, "Reinforcements? Is this possible? ”

Yang Peng pondered: "As long as Wang Jun does not hesitate, as soon as he receives a letter of help from Yeyu Tiger City, he will send reinforcements, it is absolutely possible!" If there are reinforcements, then everything makes sense! Our scouts did not find any movement of the Khitan army in Danzhou, which means that the Khitan army heading to Yinye Mountain did not come from Danzhou, but reinforcements from China, which is why we did not find any clues! Yeeon Tiger City has placed a huge pocket in Danzhou, waiting for us to get in! He turned his head to Wang Kai and said, "Send two teams of scouts to reconnoiter in the direction of Yinye Mountain and Luoshan Mountain!" Wang Kai answered, ran down, and then two teams of scouts galloped out.

Yang Peng sent scouts, and at the same time ordered the army to camp on the spot and wait. At this time, Yang Peng could not determine the current situation, although it was very likely that the Khitan reinforcements would come, but it was also possible that the enemy army was suspicious and deliberately put on such a posture in order to scare himself away. If it is really the suspicious formation of Yelu Hucheng, then the rash retreat is laughed at and the second place, and the most regrettable thing is to lose the opportunity to defeat the Khitan army in one fell swoop and recover Danzhou; On the contrary, if the speculation is true, and a large number of enemy reinforcements have indeed arrived, then a rash attack will inevitably put oneself in danger or even a desperate situation, which is even more undesirable. Therefore, in the current situation, we had to pause and wait for further reports from the scouts.

Yang Peng sat under the big locust tree on the hillside, holding a piece of grass in his hand, his eyes looking into the distance, as if he was thinking about something. Yang Jing paced back and forth, looking anxious. Stopped, looked at Yang Peng, and couldn't help asking, "Big brother, are we just waiting here?" Yang Peng smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, it's like hunting, you must be patient to find the traces of the prey before you can take action." Yang Jing pursed his lips and sat on the grass.

Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and everyone's eyes immediately followed the direction from which the sound came, and saw a fast horse coming out of the distant woods, galloping. Yang Jing stood up, stared at it for a moment with wide eyes, and said loudly: "It's our scout!" ”

A moment later, the scout passed through the Chinese army, ran up the hillside, and ran straight to seven or eight steps in front of Yang Peng before slamming his horse back. The scout turned over and dismounted, rushed to Yang Peng, and knelt down and said: "King Qiyan, nearly 200,000 Khitan troops have been found in the east, and they are rushing towards the flank of our army!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and Yang Peng asked, "What kind of banner are you fighting?" "Back to King Yan, the other party is playing the banner of Xiao Tiehegan!" Yang Peng frowned and muttered, "Sure enough, it's him!" Looking at the scout, "Keep scouting!" The scout answered, stepped back, stepped onto his horse, turned his horse's head, and with a shout, galloped away.

No sooner had he walked than two other scouts followed. The scout who arrived one step ahead reported: "King Qiyu, the traces of more than 100,000 Khitan troops have been found in the west, and they are rushing towards the flank of our army!" The scout who came one step later followed the report: "Qiyu Yan King, there is still no movement in Danzhou!" ”

The generals looked at Yang Peng with great admiration, and Meng Hu said: "It really made King Yan right!" Yang Peng said: "After the order, the army immediately turned south and retreated, and the cavalry divided troops to harass the enemy troops on the left and right!" The generals agreed in unison. The 200,000 Yanyun army began to retreat, and at the same time, the 20,000 Yanyun cavalry divided into two teams and rushed towards the east and west respectively.

Xiao Tie Hegan led his 150,000 cavalry to the south, and his task was to cut off the retreat of Yan Yun's army with Lakshen's subordinates. The army hurried forward for more than a day and came to a hill. Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound ahead. He couldn't help but be stunned, and a general said with a puzzled face: "What kind of sound is this?" Fitting Gan's face suddenly changed, and he said urgently: "It's not good!" It's cavalry! The infantry immediately lined up and struck with war horses! ”

The Khitan army panicked. At this moment, I saw the tide of cavalry rushing over the hill in front of me, surging like a tide, murderous and murderous. Thousands of forward horsemen hurriedly met the battle, but in the blink of an eye, they were rushed by the other party! Immediately, the tide of cavalry crashed into the front team of infantry, the iron hooves rushed like a tide, the blades were cold and bright, and the soldiers of the Khitan army fell one after another, a scene of flesh and blood flying!

The Khitan army cavalry rushed forward to meet the battle, gradually, the opponent's impact momentum was contained, and after a while, the absolute numerical advantage of the Khitan army was brought into play, and the Yanyun war cavalry was gradually in a disadvantageous situation, and it was about to be surrounded. At this moment, the leading Yan Yun warrior suddenly gave a whistle, and then Yan Yun's war cavalry turned their horses' heads and rushed out from the gap where the Khitan army had not been able to close. The Khitan army chased after it for a while, but Yanyun's war cavalry ran farther and farther, and it seemed that they couldn't catch up!

Xiao Tie was worried that there was still an ambush by the Yan Yun army in front of him, so he hurriedly ordered all the armies to stop the pursuit. All the armies stopped, and the generals of all the divisions rushed to Xiao Tiehegan, and one of the generals said in a surprised tone: "How can the Yan Yun Army know our whereabouts?" ”

Xiao Jinggan frowned tightly and muttered, "Something is wrong with the situation!" He looked up and said to a general: "Immediately send scouts to the front to explore the way!" The general clenched his fists in promise, turned his horse's head, and ran down. Xiao Tie Hegan said to a herald again: "Immediately report our situation here to the king!" The herald answered, turned his horse's head, and ran away. Immediately, Xiao Tie said to the generals: "Order all armies, line up on the spot, and be careful!" The generals agreed in unison and went down one after another. Soon after, the hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops formed a huge formation centered on several small hills, waiting for the battle, as if they were facing a great enemy! The Khitan army had suffered more than once from the Yan Yun army's ambush and raid, so everyone looked very nervous.

However, as the minutes ticked by, nothing happened. The scouts who had gone to the front to find the way kept coming in and did not find any enemies. However, the fit who was extremely in awe of Chen Xiao and Yan Yunjun still couldn't rest assured, and still let the army line up on the spot.

It wasn't until the next morning, under Wan Yan Gao's strict orders, that he led the army on the road again. At this moment, a military report suddenly came from the front, and the 100,000 Mongolian cavalry led by Lakshen fell into the heavy encirclement of Yanyun's army, and the situation was very critical. Fitting Gan was taken aback, and a general hurriedly said: "General, let's hurry up and support!" Another general said, "No, no! Yan Yun's army is accustomed to besieging the city to send reinforcements, who dares to guarantee that there is no Yan Yun's ambush army on this halfway? The generals looked at Xiao Tiegan to see how he decided. Xiao Tie hesitated, and he didn't know what to do for a while, the friendly army was surrounded and had to be saved, but this time, he might be ambushed by Yan Yunjun, and the consequences would be unimaginable!

Just when Xiao Tie hesitated, the Mongolian cavalry in the encirclement rushed into the defense line of the Yan Yun army like a mad beast, wave after wave, one after another, like a tide, constantly hitting the defense line of the Yan Yun army, as if they didn't care about their lives at all! Its madness, its bravery, and its side-grabbing are also something that Yan Yunjun has never encountered! Yang Peng immediately stood on the hill, saw the brave performance of the Mongolian cavalry, and was very shocked in his heart, could it be: "No wonder the Mongolian cavalry in history was able to cross the Eurasian continent and build a huge empire that has never been seen before or since!" This is not a fluke! Such a brave and wild war horse, the ordinary cavalry of our army is afraid that it is still beyond it! ’

The Mongolian cavalry howled frantically and constantly rammed the defense line of the Yanyun Mo Sword Army, although their attacks were wild and fierce, but they were never able to break through the defense line of the Mo Sword Army. The Mo knife army is as strong as a mountain, standing still, the Mo knife in his hand continues to raise the bright sword light, the sword light is flying everywhere, and the brave Mongolian cavalry has suffered heavy casualties! The Mongolian cavalry is definitely the fiercest tide, but the Modao army is the strongest, no matter how vicious the waves are, they are all smashed in front of them!

Seeing that he had been unable to break through the defense line of the thousands of Yan Yun Army in front of him after attacking more than a dozen times, the shock in his heart could not be expressed in words, he only felt that the Yan Yun Army, who had only heard of his name for a long time, was really worthy of his reputation!

Lakshin ordered the army to stop attacking in that direction and instead charged towards the 20,000 Yanyun light cavalry lined up on the hillside on the left. One hundred thousand Mongolian cavalry howled and rushed towards the Yanyun war cavalry on the hillside, and their momentum was actually the same as at the beginning, and it seemed that it had not weakened in the slightest.

Seeing this scene, Yanyun had no choice but to charge head-on, rushing down the hillside with the help of the advantage of the terrain, and there was really a momentum of thousands of miles! At the same time, Yang Peng ordered the surrounding armies to tighten the encirclement and prepare to encircle and annihilate the Mongolian cavalry!

The Yanyun cavalry fired arrows first, only to see the Mongolian cavalry turn under the horse's belly one after another, and most of the arrows shot by the Yanyun cavalry missed. Immediately, the Mongolian cavalry turned on the horseback, bent the bow and arrows to attack the Yanyun cavalry, but the Yanyun cavalry did not have the acrobatic skills of the Mongolian cavalry, and they were hit by arrows one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry tides of the two sides collided with each other, roaring loudly, mixed with screams, and swords flew with scarlet blood. The Mongolian cavalry wielded scimitars, rushing and killing fiercely, like bloodthirsty beasts, Yanyun war cavalry fought desperately, but there was actually a feeling that they couldn't resist, which they had never encountered before! The Mongolian cavalry broke through the barrier of Yanyun's war cavalry in one fell swoop, climbed over the hills, and swept the dust north!

Yang Peng and other Yanyun soldiers rushed up, and seeing that the Mongolian cavalry had run away and couldn't catch up, they stopped the pursuit, and the soldiers were very annoyed. Meng Hu rode his horse to Yang Peng, turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said with great shame: "King Yan, the last general is incompetent and failed to stop the Khitan cavalry, please deal with it by King Yan's military law!" ”

Yang Peng looked at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, shook his head and said, "It's not your fault, get up!" Meng Hu said gratefully: "Thank you King Yan for your innocence!" Then he stood up and said with a heavy face: "King Yan, the last general has never seen such a fierce cavalry!" I'm afraid our light cavalry is inferior to them! Yang Jing said with a grin: "These guys are indeed fierce!" Fuck, these guys attacked my Mo Dao Army, and they actually made me feel even more powerful than the Khitan Iron Floating Massacre, we almost couldn't stop it! The other generals also showed solemn expressions, everyone was a veteran of a hundred battles, but it was the first time that such a strong enemy as the Mongolian cavalry had encountered it, and it felt that the combat power of these Mongolian cavalry was far above that of the Khitans, and it was stronger than their own light cavalry.

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