Riding a fast horse into Yanjing, he handed over a handwritten letter from Yang Peng to Yang Jiumei. Yang Jiumei immediately opened the envelope, took out the stationery, unfolded it, and looked at it again, revealing surprise on her beautiful face. In the letter, Yang Peng asked her to prepare a strategy to clear the wilderness, and at the same time asked her to evacuate as soon as possible after arranging all this. Yang Jiumei looked at the person who came and asked, "Is there something wrong on the front line?" The person who came hesitated for a moment, feeling that there should be no need to hide this matter from Lord Yelu, so he hugged his fists and said: "Yelu Hucheng led a main force to copy behind the flank of our army, and the situation is extremely critical!" ”

Yang Jiumei was taken aback and asked urgently, "How can this be?" Where did you come from? ”

Humane: "It's from the 'wild dog ditch'. Yang Jiumei was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "How is this possible, the thorny cliffs on the side of the wild dog ditch are deserted and difficult to walk, and it is very difficult for several people to travel lightly, and it is impossible for the army to pass at all!" The visitor shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Yang Jiumei frowned and muttered, "The main army of Yeyu Tiger City appeared behind our army's flank, and this formed a flanking situation. Our army is certainly difficult to resist, I'm afraid it won't even be able to retreat! At this time, if the trade is withdrawn, it will only cause chaos in the whole army, and the result will be even more serious! "I couldn't help but feel a palpitation in my heart, my brows furrowed even tighter, and I said secretly: 'In such a situation, I'm afraid that the defeat is decided! This, how can this be good? After thinking for a moment, he picked up the letter in his hand and glanced at it, and a gentle smile suddenly appeared in his eyes. It turned out that she suddenly thought: He still wants me to run away in such a situation, it seems that he has real feelings for me!

When the visitor saw Yang Jiumei, she suddenly showed a gentle smile and felt inexplicable. Yang Jiumei came back to her senses, returned to the back of the desk, sat down, picked up the brush, and quickly wrote a letter. Then he dried the ink, folded it, put it in an envelope, got up and walked to the visitor, handed him the letter, and said, "Give this letter to King Yan." The man bowed down and hurried away.

Yang Jiumei was stunned for a while, and immediately summoned the officials who stayed behind and gave instructions carefully. All the officials looked at each other, and they all felt a little uneasy in their hearts, because the content of Lord Yang's orders was all about clearing the wilderness and evacuating the people of Limin, which seemed to indicate that the battle situation on the front line was not good!

Yang Jiumei saw everyone's worries, and said lightly: "Don't think nonsense, everything is fine on the front line, King Yan is holding on to Ye Yu Tiger City!" You should know that with the ability of King Yan, even if you can't defeat Yelu Tiger City, there is no problem in resisting the attack of the Khitan army! The reason why I ordered you these things is just to prevent the enemy from raiding Yanjing and other places with surprise soldiers, and at the same time, it is also to reduce the damage caused by the enemy's surprise soldiers to the people everywhere. It's not likely, but it's better to prevent anything before it happens, than to rush it when it's over. ”

When the officials heard this, their originally worried hearts were relieved a lot, and they all agreed. Yang Jiumei said: "If there is no problem, just follow my instructions!" The officials said yes and knelt down.

Yang Jiumei walked to the gate, looked up at the northern sky, smiled slightly, and muttered, "I won't go!" I will live and die with you! If you don't survive in the end, I'll follow you underground! "Immediately, there was a light of happiness radiating on her beautiful and noble face, and Yang Jiumei said secretly: 'Although you have so many princesses, it is I who accompany you in the end.'" At this time, Yang Jiumei was not afraid at all, but there was some faint expectation in her heart.

In the big tent, Yang Peng was assigning tasks to the generals: "......." I will take the lead in this battle, and all the Iron Cavalry of the Broken Formation and the Iron Cavalry of the Yan King will follow me as the vanguard! Liu Zhiliang led more than 40,000 other cavalry as the second formation, followed me behind, and followed me to expand the results! Li Xu, you led 300,000 infantry troops to follow up, followed behind us, and bravely assaulted! The generals agreed in unison, and everyone's eyes showed a desperate look.

Cao Jun hurriedly said, "King Yan, why don't you have my mission?" Yang Peng looked at Cao Jun and said, "You will lead the remaining 30,000 infantry troops to guard Niulan Mountain." If Yeron Tiger City attacks Niulan Mountain, you must defend it for me! Cao Jun promised loudly.

Yang Peng glanced at everyone, and said with a serious expression: "This battle is far-reaching, we can't afford to lose, we must win!" The generals nodded solemnly, and Yang Jing shouted with a grin: "Big brother, don't worry, with me Yang Jing here, we will definitely win!" The crowd laughed.

At this moment, the secret guard sent by Yang Peng to Yanjing to deliver a letter to Yang Jiumei came back, and he hugged his fist at Yang Peng and said, "King Yan, my subordinates are back." Yang Peng nodded. The generals hugged their fists at Yang Peng and said: "The last general will retire!" Then they came out.

The secret guard waited until all the generals left, then took out Yang Jiumei's letter, presented it with both hands, and said, "This is Lord Yang's reply." ”

Yang Peng took the letter and asked, "Does she have anything?" The secret guard shook his head and said, "No." Yang Peng took out the letter paper and unfolded it. His face suddenly showed a look of shock, and then his eyes became gentle. After reading the letter, he walked to the door of the big tent with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky in the distance, and was stunned. I couldn't help but sigh and muttered, "Why are you so troubled!" ”

Da ......, and the sound of hurried horses' hooves came, pulling Yang Peng's thoughts back. Yang Peng followed the sound and saw a scout galloping into the barracks. The scout ran straight to this side, ran to Yang Peng not far away and slammed the mount, the mount man stood up, the scout did not wait for the mount to stand firm, then turned over and jumped down, ran to Yang Peng, bowed down on one knee, and panted and said: "Qi Yan Wang, the enemy army is only less than a day's journey from Niulan Mountain!" ”

Yang Peng's expression did not move, and he said lightly: "Got it." Keep exploring. The scout answered, turned and got on his horse, turned his horse's head, and galloped away. Half an hour later, the herald came to report that the armies were ready. Yang Peng immediately led the secret guards to rush down Niulan Mountain, at this time, the 400,000 Yanyun army was already arrayed at the foot of Niulan Mountain, crowded with people, mighty, and ready to go!

Yang Peng rode his horse to the front of the army and reined in his horse. Glancing at the soldiers in front of him, looking at the resolute and resolute faces, he couldn't help but be proud, and raised his voice: "Brothers, you should already know about the fact that Yeyu Hucheng led the main force of the Khitan army to detour behind the flank of our army!" I won't hide it from you, now the situation is at a critical juncture, and only by sacrificing our lives can we turn defeat into victory, and only then can we win! If we are defeated, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun will be lost, and the entire Central Plains may be lost here! Then our parents, wives and children will be reduced to lambs to the slaughter! Would you like to see that? ”

"I don't want to!" Yan Yun soldiers shouted together. Yang Peng said: "For the sake of our relatives, we can die in this battle, but we must not lose!" Yan Yun's soldiers couldn't help but boil with blood, and roared angrily: "Bloody battle to the end!" Fight to the end! ......" Yang Peng raised his iron lance, "Brothers, follow me, attack the enemy camp, and fight to the end until dawn!" ”

The war drums rumbled loudly, and the 400,000 Yanyun army began to launch. In terms of the Khitan army camp, Xiao Gan, who was in charge of staying in the camp, had already sensed that the situation was unusual, and began to arrange defenses early in the morning. At this time, seeing Yan Yunjun rolling like a raging wave, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Yang Peng, the king of Yan, personally led 60,000 heavily armored iron cavalry, charging towards the enemy's camp like a torrent of steel, and the earth was trembling! When the Khitan soldiers saw such a might, their faces couldn't help but turn pale, and cold sweat was dripping on their foreheads! Xiao Gan couldn't help but purse his lips as he stared at the rapidly approaching torrent of steel, his eyes widened, and his heart completely lifted. When Yan Yun's iron cavalry entered the range of the Khitan army's artillery fire, he couldn't help but roar: "Fire!" ”

Boom Boom Boom Boom ...... The thunderous roar suddenly became one, and the rain of bullets screamed and fell into the surging steel wave, causing countless ripples, and many iron horsemen who broke the formation flew on their backs, even this kind of steel body could not resist the huge power of the cannonball! However, Yan Yunjun did not flinch after being attacked by such a fierce attack, but became even more crazy, and the hoarse roar almost overshadowed the sound of horses' hooves like a wave!

After firing one round, the Khitan artillery hurriedly reloaded, but it was obviously too late to fire a second round. Seeing that Yanyun Iron Cavalry entered the range of the bow and crossbow, the crossbowmen of the Jin Army fired arrows one after another, and the arrows were like flying locusts, but this time the scene was completely different from just now, the arrows fired by the Khitan Army could not cause any damage to the Yanyun Army at all, and the Yanyun War Cavalry was like a tide, and they were bravely moving forward against the rain of arrows of the Khitan Army, and the power was simply unstoppable! The officers and men of the Khitan army were terrified, and the morale of the army stirred. Seeing this, Xiao Gan shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid! No matter how strong the ironclad cavalry is, it will not be possible to break through our fence! Only then did the Khitan soldiers realize that they were hiding behind a strong fence made of logs, and although the opponent's ironclad cavalry was strong, it was impossible to break through the barrier.

At this moment, in the wave of steel, dozens of black dots suddenly came out of the crowd and rushed towards the fence of the Khitan military barracks, and there were dozens of Yanyun light cavalry. When the officers and men of the Khitan army suddenly saw such a scene, they all felt inexplicable. Before this thought was finished, several Yanyun light cavalry had already rushed to the fence, and suddenly, a huge roar exploded, and at the same time, a huge fireball rose into the sky, and a strong hot wind swept the sand and gravel into the middle of the Khitan army! The Khitan army was horrified, Xiao Ganbu's face changed in horror, and he roared sharply: "Quick, shoot those light cavalry!" ”

However, Xiao Gan's inseparable voice still echoed in the air, and the dozens of light cavalry crashed into the fence one after another, and dozens of huge explosions were synthesized, which was truly earth-shattering and deafening, and the powerful power blew up the fence made of logs to pieces! The face of the inseparable man instantly turned pale, and he saw the steel wave under the leadership of Yang Peng rushing in, stepping on thousands of troops, and flesh and blood flying. Gan Bu came back to his senses and led the army to resist desperately. However, the combat power of the iron cavalry is too strong, and at this time, it is like a mad beast, although the Khitan soldiers tried their best to follow one after another, but they still couldn't resist, and a team of soldiers and horses were swept away by the indestructible iron armor torrent.

At this moment, the Yanyun light cavalry and the Yanyun infantry army were killed one after another, and the Khitan army could no longer resist it, and the army was defeated like a mountain. In one fell swoop, the Yan Yun army broke through the largest of the eighteen camps of the Khitan army. Immediately, the Yanyun army divided into ten teams, and at the same time stormed the ten camps of the Khitan army, the Yanyun army moved forward bravely, forgetting life and death, although the Khitan army tried its best, but where could it resist the Yanyun army that had gone crazy! Ten barracks were lost one after another! The Khitan army retreated in a hurry, and the Yanyun army took advantage of the victory to attack again! Xiao Gan saw that Yan Yun's army was brave and difficult, so he simply gave up all the camps in the plain area, and withdrew all the remaining soldiers and horses to the three camps on the mountain, ready to make the last resistance!

Yan Yun's army regrouped on the plain below the mountain to prepare for the final attack. Yang Peng immediately looked up at the sky on a small hill, and was surprised to find that a day had passed unconsciously.

At this moment, a huge sound of killing and war drums suddenly came from behind him. Yang Peng frowned, turned his head to look at Niulan Mountain, and saw the figures surging on Niulan Mountain. In the distance, a herald galloped over, went straight to the hill, turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, and said urgently: "King Qiyan, the army of Yeyu Hucheng has begun to attack the mountain!" Yang Peng snorted, "Got it." Seeing that King Yan didn't mean to say anything, the herald stood up, bowed to Yang Peng, turned over his horse, and galloped back.

The main force of the Liao State rushed towards the mountains like a tidal wave, one after another, stepping on the corpses of their own soldiers and shouting and constantly attacking; The defending troops of the Yanyun army resisted desperately, the soldiers of the Yanyun army were extremely strong, wielding their blades to kill the flesh and blood of the Jin army, but after all, the tigers could not stand the wolves, and they died on the battlefield, and finally the remaining few seriously injured Yanyun troops tried their best to ignite the powder keg with the only remaining strength, and in the loud bang, all the Yanyun troops on the defense line were killed! The Liao army continued to change to a new force to attack, and the defense line of the Yanyun army was broken one by one! The situation is already critical! If Niulan Mountain is lost, Yan Yunjun will be in a desperate situation!

Cao Jun and other generals saw that before the Khitan army attacked the last line of defense, they all went to the front line in person and fought desperately with the Khitan army. Yan Yunjun slashed with knives, stabbed with guns, and even hugged the enemy and fell into the cliff, one by one the dead men roared into the enemy group with burning powder kegs, and in the constantly rising fireballs, the Khitan army suffered heavy casualties, and the will to attack quickly declined. Finally, the Khitan army stopped its offensive and retreated like a tidal wave. At this time, the corpses were all over the Niulan Mountain, and the originally gray stones were dyed with sauce.

Yelu Tiger City was very anxious, but it was useless to be anxious at this time. The will to attack the army has been completely exhausted, and to attack again, it is necessary to regroup and remobilize, and this will take time.

Thinking of the battle situation in the big camp, Ye Hu Cheng turned his head and asked the generals around him, "How is the battle situation in the big camp?" A subordinate general said: "General Xiao Lou has already climbed the hill to check!" Yelu Hucheng looked at the hill next to him, which was much lower than Niulan Mountain, but he could see the situation of the camp to the north through the mountainside of Niulan Mountain.

After a while, Xiao Lou ran back and whispered to Ye Yu Hucheng with a solemn expression: "King, the situation in the camp is not good! Eighteen camps have been broken by the Yan Yun Army, seventeen! Ye Hu Cheng was so shocked that he almost called out, but fortunately he held back at the last moment, only to see him say with great annoyance: "Xiao Gan has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 200 cannons, how can he be broken through 17 camps by Yan Yun's army so quickly?" Xiao Lou Room frowned, with a look of horror on his face, and said, "The offensive of the Yan Yun Army is very amazing, even more amazing than anything I have seen before!" That kind of offensive is thrilling even if you look at it from such a distance! ”

Yeren Tiger City snorted coldly, "They are in a desperate situation, so they are fighting to the death!" Then he asked, "Do you think we will break through Niulan Mountain first, or will Yan Yunjun break through our camp first?" Xiao Lou Room frowned and shook his head: "The last general can't judge." Ye Hu Cheng frowned and thought about it, and suddenly his eyes gave out a crazy light, and he said resolutely: "Then it depends on who will kill the deer this time!" Glancing at his own army, he saw that he was almost ready, and immediately did not want to wait any longer, and shouted: "Beat the drums, attack!" ”

The war drums of the Khitan army sounded earth-shattering, and the Khitan soldiers shouted and rushed towards the mountain. Cao Jun saw that the enemy army was as endless as a wave, his eyes condensed and showed a desperate look, and he raised his horizontal knife and shouted: "Brothers, fight with the Khitans!" The soldiers roared, and everyone's eyes shone with a crazy light.

Look to the other side. The war drums of the Yan Yun army beat like a demon god roaring, and Yang Jing led 20,000 infantry troops to storm the last stronghold of the Khitan army's defense. The Khitan army condescendingly released arrows, and the Yan Yun army held a shield against the opponent's arrow rain and continued to advance. When the Khitan army saw that the arrows were ineffective, they threw the rolling stone sasswood, and in an instant, they saw the rolling stone sassage surging down the hillside, like a flash torrent, crashing into the Yanyun army! Many Yanyun soldiers were smashed to the ground, and many Yanyun soldiers were rushed out by the huge force, but the Yanyun soldiers had no intention of retreating at all, and kept approaching the enemy camp step by step! The generals and soldiers couldn't help but get anxious when they saw that the rolling stones and trees couldn't stop Yan Yunjun.

The Yanyun army approached near the Khitan military camp and threw away their shields one after another, the Yanyun army in front roared and rushed straight towards the Khitan military camp, and the Yanyun soldiers in the back raised their crossbows and shot. A strong rain of arrows flew into the camp through the gaps between the fences, and shot down many Khitan soldiers lined up in front of the fence!

Xiao Gan couldn't leave and roared: "Release the arrow!" The Khitan army crossbowmen sent out a wave of arrow rain at the Yan Yun army that was rushing up, and the dense arrow rain flew over with a roar, and many Yan Yun soldiers were shot to the ground. Yan Yunjun immediately stopped the charge, raised his shield and bowed behind the shield, slowly approaching the enemy camp. The crossbowmen of the Jin army shot desperately, and then waves of arrows flew over, most of which were blocked by shields, with little effect; The arrows fired by the Yan Yun army can always cause a lot of losses to the opponent's crossbowmen, but although the Khitan army crossbowmen suffered heavy losses, none of them fled, they all pursed their lips, braved the rain of arrows of the Yan Yun army, and kept firing arrows to stop the Yan Yun army.

Yan Yunjun suddenly stopped advancing, and the Khitan soldiers in the camp were stunned. Immediately, dozens of soldiers of the Yanyun Army rushed out with burning gunpowder bags, and the soldiers of the Jin Army immediately thought of the scene they had encountered before, and their faces couldn't help but change. He yelled, "Shoot them!" The crossbowmen immediately concentrated their fire on them, and more than 20 Yanyun soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, but except for a few who were killed on the spot by key arrows, they all continued to rush towards the Khitan military camp! When the soldiers of the Khitan army saw them rushing to the fence and falling, everyone's faces changed greatly! Boom, boom, ......boom, boom

Yang Peng stood up and shouted, "Rush with me!" Shouting bento and rushing towards the Khitan military camp first, the Yanyun soldiers shouted and rushed up.

At this moment, there was no other way for the Khitans, Xiao Gan couldn't leave the spear and shouted: "Kill!" Roaring, first to meet the Yanyun army, the Khitan soldiers pulled out their scimitars one after another, roared and rushed forward.

The armies of the two sides slammed into each other, the swords flashed, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the roars of the soldiers on both sides rang out, and the screams were mixed with one after another. A Khitan army officer was cut off his right hand by the Yanyun soldiers who rushed up, he actually screamed, pounced, and hugged the body of the Yanyun soldier tightly with his left hand, the Yanyun soldiers struggled violently, but they couldn't get rid at all, and then raised the horizontal knife in their hands and stabbed the Khitan army officer's chest violently, the Khitan army officer screamed, and actually bit down on the neck of the Yanyun soldier, and the blood surged to break the main artery in the neck of the Yanyun soldier, the Yanyun soldier fell softly, and the Jin army officer fell on his body.

On the other side, a Yanyun officer was encircled, and several Khitan soldiers around him roared and raised their spears and poked at the same time. Officer Yan Yun was already wounded, covered in blood, and couldn't resist at all, only to see three spears piercing his body at the same time. Officer Yan Yun roared angrily, holding the three spears in both hands, and retreated violently, and the three Jin Army soldiers staggered back, their faces frightened. At this moment, the Yanyun officer stepped forward and slashed the head of the Khitan army in the middle with both hands. Seeing this, the other two Khitan soldiers were shocked, and then they screamed, and the spear stabbed again, and the spear pierced into the body of Officer Yanyun again. Officer Yan Yun snorted, feeling that his eyes were blurred, and his strength seemed to be rapidly dissipating with the outflow of blood. Officer Yan Yun shouted, holding the gun on the left with his left hand, and slashing at the gun with a horizontal knife in his right hand, with a click, the gun was broken, and the Khitan soldier who was holding half of the gun was shocked, and then saw that the officer Yan Yun, who should have died a long time ago, rushed to the front and raised the blood-dripping horizontal knife. The Khitan soldiers wanted to resist, but their bodies didn't listen to them at all.
