Chapter 612, the iron horse is invincible
Yang Peng secretly left Bianliang for Yanjing. Everything has already been arranged, and there is nothing to worry about. Before leaving, Yang Peng specially talked to Chai Yonghui and asked her to arrange for Yang Gui to meet Zhou Bingqian at that time. It turned out that Yang Peng ordered Yang Yanzhao not long ago, asking him to send Yang Gui to Bianliang on a business trip, saying that it was a business trip, but in fact, it was to choose a son-in-law for Zhou Bingqian, in Yang Peng's heart, he really regarded this Zhou Bingqian as his own sister, so he naturally worried about her marriage.
Yang Peng and his entourage rushed to Yanjing day and night, without any delay on the way, and a few days later, they entered Yanjing City. Yanjing's important civil and military came to meet Yang Peng. Yang Peng asked Yang Jiumei: "What is the situation in Liao?" Yang Jiumei frowned and said: "The situation is urgent, the enemy's vanguard has already engaged our army several times!" There are casualties among each other! ”
Yang Peng stood up and walked to the sand table that Yang Jiumei and the others had prepared a long time ago. Yang Jiumei pointed to Danzhou and said: "At present, General Cao Jun is gathering heavy troops near Danzhou, preparing to meet the main force of the enemy, and all the units of our army have gathered near Danzhou in addition to the necessary forces to defend various key points, with a total strength of more than 400,000. ”
Yang Peng pondered: Although 400,000 heavy soldiers are a lot, compared to the opponent's 800,000 army and 200,000 Goryeo army, it seems a little thin, and this battle will never be easy!
Yang Peng asked: "Are the opponent's forces concentrated in the front of Danzhou?" Yang Jiumei nodded, "Yes." That Yeya Tiger City must have known that he couldn't take advantage of any advantage in his strategy, so he wanted to win the trick with clumsiness! He pointed to the various key points at the junction of Liao and Yanyun, "He arranged elite troops in various passes to prevent our army from advancing with surprise troops, and at the same time used heavy troops to go south from the Gubei Pavilion, causing the situation of Mount Tai pressing the top, forcing our army to fight a decisive battle with it!" Although I don't want to admit it, I can't help but say that the current situation is indeed controlled by him, and it is developing according to his intentions! ”
Yang Peng looked at the map and thought for a moment, and asked, "Is the grain and grass enough?" Yang Jiumei said: "Although King Yan can rest assured at this point, the grain and grass baggage have already been in place, which can support the needs of 600,000 troops for half a year!" Yang Peng turned his head to Yang Jiumei and said, "I'll leave the rest of the matter to you, I'm going to the front line." Yang Jiumei bowed and promised.
On the same day, Yang Peng led the hidden killing to Danzhou. All the way north, I saw a stream of people on the official road, and tens of thousands of people fled under the official organization. However, although the scene was huge, it was not chaotic at all, and the people were probably used to this situation, and they were not alarmed, and some children were still giggling and playing, as if they were following the adults on a spring outing. The farther north, the more desolate it became, and the people became fewer and fewer, and a day later, Yang Peng and his party arrived in Danzhou, only to see the barracks, and the teams of mobilized soldiers and horses, and there was no longer a single figure of the people.
Cao Jun and other generals heard that King Yan was coming, and hurried out to greet him. When I saw Yang Peng, we bowed together: "Meet King Yan (big brother)!" Yang Peng walked into the big tent, and the generals followed. Yang Peng sat down at the top, glanced at the generals, and finally fell on Cao Jun on the left, and asked, "How is the situation now?" ”
Cao Jun hugged his fists and said: "The enemy's large army has not yet been fully positioned, but their 100,000 forwards have already passed the Gubei Pavilion and set up camp more than 30 miles north of Danzhou. This forward, all of them were Mongolian cavalry, two days ago, suddenly crossed the Gubei Pavilion, rushed forward, raided the military camp outside the city of our army, and was almost captured by them, the two sides fought a big battle, each other was killed and wounded, and finally ended with them retreating on their own initiative. ”
Yang Peng muttered, "Mongolian cavalry? Cao Jun nodded and said, "Yes." The general who led the army was the Mongolian general Rakshen, and the deputy general was ......" Yang Peng felt strange when he saw Liu Kuang's expression, and then his heart moved and asked: "The deputy is Yang Xiong?" ”
Yang Peng nodded. Yang Jing shouted: "This bastard shot by a donkey and a cow, I, Yang Jing, will definitely chop him into seventeen or eighteen sections!" ”
Yang Peng pondered: "If we can take advantage of the fact that the enemy's main force has not yet arrived, and defeat this Mongolian cavalry in one fell swoop, then it will be very beneficial to the soldiers in the next battle!" At this point, he raised his head and ordered: "Gather all the cavalry and counterattack the enemy army!" Yang Jing exclaimed excitedly: "It should have been like this a long time ago!" Cao Jun frowned and said: "The Mongolian war cavalry is by no means comparable to the Liao army's war cavalry, and its combat power is very powerful!" All the cavalry of our army is only 110,000, and I am afraid it is impossible to defeat the enemy army in a short time! Yang Jing shouted angrily: "Your courage is too small!" Cao Jun frowned, but did not refute. Yang Peng shouted at Yang Jing with a calm face: "Yang Jing must not be rude!" Yang Jing pursed his lips, hugged his fist at Cao Jun and said, "Chief, I Yang Jing doesn't speak well, don't be weird!" Cao Jun smiled and said: "General Yang is a person of true temperament, how can I meet the blame!" But this manager is indeed a little too cautious! Yang Jing smiled: "It's good that the manager knows!" ”
Everyone couldn't help laughing, Yang Peng shook his head angrily, and said to Cao Jun: "Although it is difficult to win, you have to try." Cao Jun clenched his fists and promised. Yang Peng saw that Cao Jun had no opinion, so he ordered him to immediately order all the armies to assemble. Cao Jun promised and immediately passed down the order. Yang Peng said again: "I personally led the army in this battle, General Manager Liu, you are in charge of Danzhou!" Cao Jun clenched his fists and promised.
The 110,000 cavalry of each legion quickly assembled, and Yang Peng raised his voice to the soldiers of the army: "Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy!" Yanyun will win! The 110,000 tigers and wolves roared in unison: "Yanyun will win!" Yanyun will win! "The sound shook the sky, like thunder. Immediately, 110,000 war cavalry surged north under the leadership of Yang Peng.
Lakshin received an urgent report from the scouts and was not surprised to learn that the Yanyun Cavalry Brigade was coming with a fierce murder, and his eyes showed excitement, and he immediately ordered the whole army to assemble. The entire Liao army camp moved, and 100,000 Mongolian war horsemen quickly left the barracks, forming a huge battle formation with their backs to the barracks and mountains, quietly waiting for the appearance of the Yanyun army. 100,000 soldiers and horses were slaughtered, except for the occasional neighing of horses and the sound of the wind blowing the flag, there was no noise at all! These Mongolian war horses are indeed rare in the world!
Soon after, I saw a fierce knight appear on the grassy slope in the distance, and he immediately shot a sword, which was moving! Immediately afterwards, he saw countless knights appear behind him, like a tide across the grassy slope, approaching without hurry.
Rakshin got excited, raised his right hand, and an officer next to him immediately picked up the horn and blew it, woo woo woo ......! The Mongol warhorses stared at the approaching enemy forces and prepared for an attack. Suddenly, the sound of the horn became short, and the five thousand forward war horses let out a loud shout, urging the war horses to rush out, shouting and killing at the Yan Yun army who had just arrived at the battlefield, like a large group of bloodthirsty blue wolves! This is one of the usual tactics of the Mongol army, the army waits for work, and when the enemy army has just arrived on the battlefield and has not changed from a state of march to a state of battle, it will suddenly attack, if the opponent is not elite enough, not strong enough, it will often be caught off guard by this sudden charge, and then shake the whole army, and the main force of the Mongol army can take this opportunity to sweep the opponent in one fell swoop and win!
In the face of the enemy's surprise attack, the horn suddenly sounded in the army, and it was also five thousand war horses, shouting and charging, and the iron hooves raised smoke and dust in the sky, and people were like tigers and horses, like dragons, like a tide to meet the enemy's war horses. Yan Yunjun is the elite of the world, so naturally it is impossible to be disrupted by this trick of the Mongolian army.
Five thousand Yanyun war horses met five thousand Mongolian war horses, although it was only a forward battle before the official war, but it was full of momentum and amazing momentum! In the blink of an eye, the Mongolian war cavalry first sent a wave of arrow rain to the Yanyun war horse, only to see the arrow rain cross the sky and fall into the wave composed of the Yanyun war horse, causing countless ripples, and many Yanyun war horses fell down! However, this did not stop the charge of Yan Yun's war horse, but instead made them go crazy, just like a fierce beast that saw blood, exuding a wild murderous aura that made people's hearts palpitate!
The Mongol horsemen wanted to continue firing arrows, but when they saw their opponents throwing javelins with all their might, they gave up archery and hid under the belly of their horses with their superb riding skills. The javelin rain flew, although the Mongolian knights had already hidden under the belly of the horse, but the heavy and sharp javelins still set off a rain of blood in the torrent, and the Mongolian warriors turned over on their backs, and the casualties were quite light! When the rain of javelins passed, the Mongolian knights turned back into their saddles, and the distance between the two sides was very close, and the Mongolian knights drew their scimitars one after another, raised them high, and let out a strange cry like a wild beast predatoring! The Yanyun knights raised their horses one after another, or pulled out their long knives, and the swords were shining brightly, reflecting on the brave and fearless faces of the Yanyun knights!
In the blink of an eye, the two warhorses slammed into each other! The sound of slashing and killing sounded in one place, mixed with the roars of the soldiers on both sides and the neighing of the war horses, the scene was full of flesh and blood, people turned over on their backs, and the soldiers on both sides fell off their horses one after another! The main forces of both sides did not join the battle, they just watched this bloody killing!
The fierce bloody battle lasted only two quarters of an hour, and the horses on both sides were heavily killed and wounded, and the battlefield was strewn with corpses, and the seriously wounded horses struggled to get up, but they could not do it anyway. The bloody battle continued, and gradually, the Yanyun war cavalry began to gain an advantage, but although the Mongolian war cavalry was in an increasingly disadvantageous situation, they were fighting to the death and not retreating, all of them were like crazy beasts, howling and fighting desperately! Half an hour later, all the 5,000 Mongolian warriors were killed, and the remaining 1,800 Yanyun cavalry were also wounded, and they were immediately in the pile of corpses and blood. A seriously injured Yanyun war horse suddenly fell from his horse and could no longer get up.
The Mongolian soldiers were all angry, and at the same time, there was a look of unconvincing in their eyes, and they all looked at the general, just waiting for him to give an order, so that they could kill and fight with Yanyun people!
Laxon stared at the bloody scene in front of him, only to feel the blood boiling all over his body. At this moment, Yang Xiong came to Lakshen's side and whispered: "General, the Yanyun army's combat strength is superior to ours, and it should be retreated to the camp and strictly defended!" ”
Rakshen glared at Yang Xiong angrily and shouted, "Do you want me to escape?" We Mongols, there are only warriors who died in battle, and there are no cowards who escaped! Yang Xiong saw that his expression was not good, so he didn't dare to say anything more, but he cursed secretly in his heart.
Yan Yun's remaining knights retreated into the army, and at this time, Yan Yun's army had already lined up their military formations. The directly subordinate legion broke the formation army to control Huyan Chijin, and came to the two sides alone, restrained the war horse, and shouted: "I am Yanyun Breaking the Formation Army under the command of Huyan Chijin, who dares to come out and send him to death!" ”
When the Mongol warriors heard the obvious contempt in the other party's words, they couldn't help but be furious and asked for battle. Lakshin was also furious, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't easily fight as the commander, he would have already planned to fight immediately. Glancing at the angry generals, his eyes fell on the most burly and majestic Mongol general, this man's name was Xiong Ba, a famous warrior among the Mongols, and his strength was infinite, so that an iron rod with the thickness of his arm was stained with both wounds and death, and even his heavy armor was of little use. Rakshen raised his voice and said, "Xiong Ba, you go!" Don't disgrace us Mongols! Xiong Bao excitedly agreed, and galloped out of the military formation.
Xiong Ba came to Huyan Chijin, pointed at Huyan Chijin with an iron rod and shouted, he said Mongolian, Huyan Chijin was confused, but it was not a good thing to think about after all, even if he didn't talk nonsense with him, he yelled, and urged the war horse to rush towards Xiong Ba. Xiong Ba was very excited when he saw Huyan Chijin coming, and he screamed and waved his iron rod to meet him.
In the blink of an eye, the two horses intersected, and only a loud bang was heard, and the blades of the two slammed into each other in mid-air. Then the two horses staggered past, each ran more than ten steps, and turned the horse's head. Huyan Chijin only felt the soreness of his right hand, and he was surprised in his heart, and said secretly: "This Mongolian is so powerful! I saw that the Mongolian warrior rushed up with a strange scream, and the blood in his heart couldn't help boiling, and he screamed and urged the horse to catch up. The two sides repeatedly rushed and killed for several rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, and then became entangled and fought. Xiong Ba's iron rod danced vigorously, and every blow seemed to be able to crack the mountain and crack the rock, which was very amazing; Huyan Chijin is superior in his superb tricks, fast speed, and the horse lance in his hand flies up and down like a swimming dragon, avoiding the heavy and light, and seizing the opportunity to quickly counterattack. The two fought inseparably, and they couldn't tell the winner for a while.
The two sides have been fighting until 100 moves, but there is no winner or loser, and it is still difficult to solve the battle until 200 moves. Xiong Ba was so good at killing that he ignored the other party's horse lance that was rushing from the left, raised the iron rod and smashed it down on the head of Huyan Chijin, as if he was going to die together! Huyan Chijin frowned, at this time he had every chance to dodge the opponent's extremely powerful blow in time, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel his blood surging desperately, and he was actually only slightly on one side, and the horse lance in his hand was still running towards the opponent's chest!
Syllable! With a loud bang, the iron rod slammed heavily on Huyan Chijin's left shoulder, and at the same time, blood flowed, and the horse lance stabbed into Xiongba's left shoulder with a pop. The two warriors of 10,000 enemies snorted at the same time, although they still wanted to hold on, but they involuntarily fell off their horses!
Seeing this, the soldiers on both sides were taken aback, and immediately rushed out of their respective army formations, rescued their own generals, and then retreated into the formation.
The generals of the two sides fought each other, regardless of victory or defeat, but the fighting spirit of the soldiers on both sides was even higher! The shouts rang out one after another, soaring into the sky, shaking the birds within a radius of dozens of miles.
Yang Peng raised the horse lance, and the forward line of the battle formation separated, revealing the Yanwang Iron Cavalry with heavy armor like an iron man and an iron horse, which was as majestic as a mountain (the so-called Yanwang Iron Cavalry is actually a heavy armored cavalry equipped with Yanwang horses, which is the strongest elite in the Yanyun army. The 60,000 cavalry of the legion directly under Yan Yun have all been reorganized into heavy armored cavalry, of which 20,000 are Yan Wang Iron Cavalry).
Because the Yanyun army had been hiding the heavy armored cavalry behind, the Mongolian army had not found it, and when they suddenly saw it, they couldn't help but be shocked. Luan Tingyu showed a look of fear on his face and muttered, "Yan Wang Iron Horse! It's the Iron Rider of the King of Yan!! ”
The horn sounded loudly in the Yan Yun Army, and the 10,000 Yan King Iron Cavalry started slowly, although the speed was not fast, it was as heavy as a mountain, and the whole earth was trembling! Rakshin immediately ordered the 10,000 most elite cavalry under his command to meet him. 10,000 Mongolian warriors rushed out with shouts under the leadership of several Mongolian warriors, and met the iron cavalry of King Yan like a mountain. These Mongolian war horses, with burly knights and majestic horses, are all as imposing as tigers and roar like wild beasts, and they are obviously the elite of a hundred battles who are not afraid of death! The equipment of these Mongol warriors was also different from that of other Mongol warriors, the armor was obviously much thicker, and all of them were equipped with a special broad-bladed long knife, which was a long knife suitable for immediate engagement and could cut through heavy armor.
Seeing the opponent's war horse approaching, the Yan King Iron Cavalry began to start. In the midst of a loud rumbling sound, a deeper sound could be clearly heard, louder and louder, more and more amazing! After a while, the Yan King Iron Cavalry charged at full speed, and the two war horses hedged at high speed, and the momentum was many times stronger than the previous striker battle, as if two terrible waves were hedging! It can be imagined how thrilling their collision will be! As they kept getting closer, everyone couldn't help but raise their hearts to their throats!
In the blink of an eye, these two 'giant waves' slammed together, and the whole world seemed to tremble suddenly! Immediately afterwards, I saw the Mongolian war cavalry rushing into the middle of the Yan King's iron cavalry, swinging his knife and slashing, and the sonorous sound sounded together, even on this rumbling battlefield, it was extremely clear! However, the brave slashing of the Mongolian knights did not bring about the scene of the Yan King's iron horsemen turning over on their backs, but countless sparks were shot out. It turned out that the special broad long knife specially made by the Mongolian war rider was specially used to cut and kill heavy armor, but it could not cut the armor of the Yan King's iron horse, and could only stir up some beautiful sparks!
At the same time, the iron cavalry of King Yan was not polite to the Mongolian war horse, the mace in his hand was whistling and flying, falling on the opponent's war horse, and the opponent turned over on his back and landed on the opponent's head, and his brain burst and flesh flew sideways, and the mace was unstoppable!
The two sides staggered past each other, turned their horses' heads, and hedged again. After a few rounds like this, more than half of the Mongolian warriors had been killed and wounded, but the Yanwang Iron Cavalry did not suffer many casualties, their armor was covered with the blood of the enemy, and it was even more terrifying than before!
Rakshen and the others couldn't help but be shocked when they saw that the Yan King Iron Cavalry had killed and injured most of their own cavalry, but there were not many casualties. Immediately, Lakshin calmed down, knowing that the enemy facing him was definitely no match for the opponent's Yan King Iron Cavalry, so he ordered the army to retreat.
The horn of the Mongolian army sounded, but the Mongolian cavalry that was fighting with the Yan King Iron Cavalry did not retreat, but attacked the Yan King Iron Cavalry even more frantically. At the same time, the main forces of the Mongol army quickly retreated towards the barracks.
Yang Peng raised his iron horse lance, waved forward, and 100,000 war cavalry launched, bypassing the battlefield where they were fighting, and killing the retreating enemy troops from the left and right flanks. However, the enemy army was also all war cavalry, and the Yanyun war cavalry could not catch up at all, and finally watched the Mongolian war cavalry retreat into the military camp.
Yang Peng took advantage of the situation to wave his army and attack, and the 100,000 Yanyun war horses rushed into the opponent's defense line one after another like waves. The Mongol army felt extremely heavy pressure, and the defensive line was full of dangers. Suddenly, there was a loud bang from the front gate, and Yang Peng personally commanded tens of thousands of heavily armored cavalry to break through the Mongolian army's defense and enter the barracks in one fell swoop. Lakshin was shocked, and immediately commanded all the soldiers and horses to fight back, and the two sides fought bloodily in the barracks, and the battle was extremely fierce! The Mongolian army is not afraid of death, desperately counterattacking, one after another! However, the combat power of Yanyun's heavy armored cavalry is too terrifying, and the desperate counterattack of the Mongolian army is like a tide hitting a boulder, although the momentum is amazing, but after all, it will inevitably end up shattered!
The corpses in the barracks were already bleeding, and the Mongolian army suffered heavy casualties, but it still continued to counterattack the Yanyun army. At this time, the casualties of the Yan Yun army were also quite small, but with the Yan King Iron Cavalry and the Broken Formation Iron Cavalry as the vanguard, the situation was much better than that of the Mongolian army, and they were gradually compressing the Mongolian army inward, and they were constantly expanding the results.
Lakshin looked at the scene in front of him and was sad and indignant, but as the chief general, he was clearly aware that the situation was urgent now, and if he didn't make a quick decision, he was afraid that all the soldiers and horses would be buried here! Although he was very reluctant, Lakshin finally gave the order for the whole army to retreat.
The Mongol army began to retreat, but unlike other armies that were defeated once they retreated, the Mongol army was defeated and retreated, but it was defeated but not chaotic, a small part of the cavalry stayed behind and sacrificed their lives, and the large army left the battlefield in an orderly manner.
Yang Peng saw that the opponent's large army was leaving the battlefield, and he was anxious, wanting to wave his army to pounce on them and wipe them out in one fell swoop. However, he was desperately entangled by the opponent's small army, and he couldn't get out at all. After finally eliminating the small army of the other party, the large army of the other party has already gone away, and the other side is all cavalry, and it is obviously impossible to pursue it. Yang Peng ordered all armies to stop the pursuit and clean up the battlefield. At this time, the sun is setting, and I see that the sky is as if it is stained with blood, and the earth is full of corpses! Although the Mongol army suffered heavy losses, although the Yanyun army won, the losses were also very small! Although Yan Yunjun won this battle, no one in Yanyun Army felt relaxed! Everyone's heart can't help but feel a sense of admiration for the Mongolian cavalry!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
