Yelu Longqing's heart suddenly moved, and his face lost his blood color in an instant. Hurriedly turned his head to Ali Dali and said, "Ali Dali, immediately send the order down, the army will stop advancing!" Ali Dali was puzzled, and when he came back to his senses, he prepared to give the order.

Suddenly, there was a loud rumbling sound behind the hill on the left, and the earth seemed to shake. Yelu Longqing's heart was shocked, his heart rose to his throat, and he roared urgently: "All the infantry shrink, line up on the spot, and all the cavalry are ready to fight!" "After all, the Western Liao army is well-trained, although it was disturbed by the Ming army for a night and was very tired from not having a good rest, but after receiving the order, it immediately began to act.

The army immediately began to change from a state of march to a state of battle, the infantry army shrank to the imperial banner, and the cavalry gathered on both flanks to prepare for battle.

At this moment, on the hill on the left, I saw a black shadow surging over, the iron horse rushing, the cold light flashing, it was the fierce Ming war horse. Yelu Longqing couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and hurriedly looked at his own army, which had not yet had time to line up! In an instant, Yelu Longqing made a decision, and immediately ordered the unprepared left wing cavalry to meet immediately. In the sound of the horn, tens of thousands of Western Liao war cavalry under the leadership of the fierce general Wahid rushed up against the Ming war cavalry rushing from the left hill, the cavalry started, moving like thunder, the Western Liao war cavalry, is also extraordinary!

The two cavalry units hedged each other at high speed, like two surging waves, and the momentum was extremely magnificent! Have you ever seen the tide of the Qiantang River? The scene in front of you is several times more magnificent than the tide of the Qiantang River, which is shocking!

In the blink of an eye, the two war horses slammed together, the iron hooves rushed, the swords and guns slashed, the roar was like a tiger, the screams woke up, and one by one the cavalrymen turned on their backs, fell into the sea of iron hooves, and disappeared in an instant.

Yelu Longqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that his own war horse had resisted the Ming war horse. However, at this moment, there was a loud rumbling sound on the right, and Yelu Longqing's heart rose again, and then he saw countless fierce Ming warriors on the hill on the right. Yelu Longqing saw that his infantry army was still shrinking, so he didn't care about it, so he could only send the right wing cavalry to meet it. The right-wing war cavalry rushed out, and fought with the Daming war cavalry that attacked from the right side, and the iron cavalry rushed and flesh and blood flew sideways! Just when the two sides were fighting endlessly, the infantry troops of Western Liao were stepping up their contraction formations, with figures like a tide, swords and guns, and they were converging towards the imperial banner of Yelu Longqing.

Boom Boom Boom ......! Suddenly there was a loud rumbling sound in the rear of the Western Liao army, and Yelu Longqing's heart jumped suddenly, and he quickly turned his head to look at the rear. I saw a Ming warrior leading a Ming warrior who was like a wolf pack rushing from the rear, with iron hooves like a tide, murderous!

The Western Liao infantry was still far from ready, and when they suddenly saw an enemy cavalry suddenly appear in the rear and rush towards them, they couldn't help but feel panic in their hearts, and the whole army couldn't help but stir.

Yelu Longqing's eyes lit up, and he immediately urged his horse to come to the front of the big array, raised his scimitar high, and shouted loudly: "Prepare to fight!" Get ready for battle! Seeing His Majesty the Emperor rushing to the front of the battle to supervise the battle, the morale of the soldiers was greatly boosted, and the originally shaken morale was immediately stabilized, and the soldiers let out a burst of shouts, although the formation had not yet been formed, but the momentum was not weak at all.

"The long sought-after, the shield hand comes forward, the crossbowman prepares!" With the shouts of Yelu Longqing, the long sought-after shield-bearers rushed to the front, and the crossbowmen bent their bows and arrows and prepared to shoot.

In the blink of an eye, the Ming War Horse had already entered the range of the crossbowmen. Yelu Longqing swung his scimitar forward sharply and shouted, "Release the arrow!" ”

The crossbowmen of the Western Liao fired arrows together, only to hear a loud sound from Weng, and countless arrows suddenly flew into the sky, like a dark cloud that instantly covered the sun, making the earth dark.

In the blink of an eye, the dense arrows fell into the middle of the Ming war cavalry like a torrential rain, only to see the Ming war cavalry turn over on their backs, and the surging tide seemed to have encountered a great obstacle in an instant! However, after the rain of arrows passed, the surging tide immediately returned to its surging momentum and continued to rush towards the Western Liao army array!

It seemed that in just an instant, the torrent composed of the Ming war cavalry surged to the front of the Western Liao army not far away. I saw that the Ming Dynasty cavalry threw out the throwing spear with all its might, and the heavy throwing spear roared towards the Western Liao army array, falling into the Western Liao army, and in an instant, the Western Liao soldiers were shot down many people! Immediately, the Ming war cavalry surged up, slamming into the defense line of the Western Liao Army like a river crashing on the shore, sending out a series of deafening crashing sounds! Many Western Liao soldiers were knocked out by this huge impact force, and many Ming warriors were pierced by the spears of the other party! The charge of the Ming war cavalry was so ferocious, and the entire defense line of the Western Liao Army was rushed to pieces in an instant!

The Ming war cavalry broke through the defensive front of the Western Liao army in one fell swoop, and then poured into the Western Liao army formation, the iron hooves rushed, and they were indomitable, and the Ming war cavalry frantically waved the swords and guns in their hands, only to kill the corpses of the soldiers of the Western Liao army; When the soldiers of Western Liao saw the enemy army breaking into the army formation and wantonly charging and killing, they couldn't help but shake the hearts of the army.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Yelu Longqing shouted and personally led his own guards to meet him. Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Western Liao couldn't help but be greatly encouraged, and the generals who were originally retreating also roared and followed, and in an instant, the Western Liao army, which was about to be defeated, broke out with an amazing battle momentum, and surrounded the Ming war cavalry that attacked the army in all directions. The two sides launched a bloody melee, killing the sky darkly, and flesh and blood flew everywhere!

The Ming War Cavalry is worthy of being the leading strong army in this era, and in the face of the Western Liao army that has completely burst out of fighting spirit, it still rushes forward to kill! The iron hooves trampled the Xiliao soldiers to the ground, and the horse lance and horizontal knife in his hand continued to raise blood rain in the crowd, and the tiger was like a wolf pack, unstoppable! However, the Western Liao Army is by no means a weak brigade, and the strength is too large, and the Ming War Cavalry is caught in this crowd of enemy troops, and it only feels as if it can't rush out! The Western Liao soldiers followed one after another, and a group of people surrounded the Ming war cavalry to fight, although their own losses were heavy, but they continued to knock the Ming war cavalry to the ground with swords and guns like a forest! Although the Ming War Cavalry is strong and powerful, after all, the tigers can't stand the wolves, and the casualties continue to increase! The vast battlefield is like boiling seawater, and the soldiers on both sides are fighting endlessly!

Just when the two sides were fighting inextricably, a fierce general with a double hammer suddenly rushed out from one side, leading hundreds of hussars to crash into the enemy formation. The fierce general rode forward on a war horse, and kept waving his hammers with both hands, only smashing the flesh and blood of the enemy soldiers, and no one could be one of them! This person is none other than one of the strongest generals of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Yanzhao's son, Yang Gui! Yang Gui wielded the double hammer and moved forward, as if entering a no-man's land, like a hot knife cutting cream, and went straight to the imperial flag where Yelu Longqing was!

Yelu Longqing saw that Yang Gui was coming fiercely, and his heart sank, and he immediately ordered more than a dozen fierce generals around him to lead the army to meet the battle. More than a dozen fierce generals immediately led hundreds of elites to meet the attack, and the two sides collided together in the midst of thousands of troops and horses! Yang Gui single-handedly challenged more than a dozen fierce generals on the other side, but he was not afraid, the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and a pair of copper hammers danced vigorously. With a loud bang, Yang Gui's right hammer hit the shoulder of a Western Liao general, and the Western Liao general screamed miserably, fell off his horse, and saw that he couldn't survive. Immediately, Yang Gui's left hand copper hammer stabbed directly in the chest of a Western Liao general, and with a muffled sound, the Western Liao general screamed, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell off the horse. In this way, Yang Gui danced a pair of copper hammers like a windmill, and the sound of banging was endless, and the Xiliao warriors were smashed off the horse one after another! In the blink of an eye, almost half of the more than a dozen Western Liao warriors died in Yang Gui's hands!

The Western Liao soldiers were shocked, while Yang Gui led his men to continue to rush forward! The soldiers of Xiliao couldn't resist it anymore, and they were rushed to pieces by Yang Gui! Yang Gui broke through the barrier and continued to rush towards the imperial flag! Seeing Yue Yun's menacing approach, Ali Dali, the general of the tent, immediately led his soldiers and horses to escort Yelu Longqing and retreated.

As soon as he retreated, the Western Liao army was in turmoil, and many people saw that the imperial banner had retreated, and they hurriedly retreated. The Ming war cavalry that broke through the frontal formation took advantage of the situation and rushed forward, and the Western Liao army could no longer resist it, and the defeat was like a mountain! The Ming war cavalry rushed the enemy's battle formation in one fell swoop, and immediately covered the past, and for a while I saw the horse's hooves rushing, and the sword was shining with snow, only to kill the corpses of the Western Liao soldiers all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river!

The Western Liao cavalry, who was fighting with the other two Ming war cavalry, saw that their own army had collapsed, and they couldn't help but feel panic in their hearts, and they broke away from the battle one after another. And the Ming war cavalry chased and killed like wolves, and the soldiers of the Western Liao Army fled in fear! ……

Yelu Longqing led the remnants of the defeated army to run all the way west, and one fled to Hela Mountain before reining in his footing. After the shock calmed down, he hurriedly checked the people around him and found that there were only 50,000 or 60,000 horses left in the army of more than 200,000 people. Yelu Longqing was filled with grief and indignation, and he was also terrified. Fortunately, in the next two days, there were continuous routs fleeing back, and the total number of soldiers and horses who fled in the two days was more than 100,000, plus the soldiers and horses that fled before, the soldiers and horses around Yelu Longqing recovered to nearly 200,000, although they lost 50,000 or 60,000 horses, but the main force was still there.

Yelu Longqing reorganized the army, and on the other hand, sent people to closely monitor every move of the Ming army, and at the same time sent people to understand Yeluzhong's whereabouts. Soon after, news came back that the Ming army had retreated to Hezhou after defeating its own army, and that the 200,000 troops led by Yeluzhong had reached Yangji Bali, northwest of Yinshan. Yangji Bali is probably more than 100 miles west of what is now Urumqi.

Yangji Bali is probably the county seat of Manas in Xinjiang Province, northwest of Urumqi, and between the two, there is also Changji County. In this era, Changji is Changbala, and Urumqi does not exist in this era. In this era, there was a market town called Luntai, which can probably be regarded as the predecessor of modern Urumqi. It is said that this place is the place where the Western Han army expeditioned to Tuntian in the Western Regions, so the edict issued by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was named after it. From this point of view, the inclusion of Xinjiang in China's territory seems to have begun in the Western Han Dynasty, but then China weakened, resulting in a long period of exile from the land.

Yelu Longqing learned of Yeluzhong's movements, and immediately sent a letter to Yeluzhong's garrison Luntai, being careful, not to take the enemy lightly, and waiting for his own orders before acting.

Eyes turn to Hezhou.

Yang Peng stood on the city wall, looking at the Tianshan Mountains not far away, like a screen inserted into the sky, with a thoughtful look on his face. Seeing this, Yang Erya on the side asked puzzledly: "Big brother, General Yang Yanzhao and they just won a big victory, why is the eldest brother not happy at all?" ”

Yang Peng smiled, "Who said that the eldest brother is unhappy!" Then he thought: "It's just that this victory has no decisive impact on the whole situation." Now the Western Liao army still exceeds 400,000, twice as many as us, and this battle is not easy. ”

Yang Erya smiled: "I believe we will definitely win!" ”

Yang Peng laughed, held Yang Erya's slender hand, and said, "Of course!" ”

After resting for several days at Mount Hala, the army continued its march eastward. This time, Yelu Longqing was more cautious, and the Ming army seemed to know that the previous ambush strategy was useless, and did not send troops and horses to harass the ambush. The army led by Yelu Longqing successfully arrived at the city of Hezhou and set up camp. On the same day, the Western Liao army did not send troops to attack, and early the next morning, Yelu Longqing personally led the army out of the camp, approaching the city to line up, and ordered the fierce general Wahid to challenge.

To the sound of rumbling war drums, Wahid rode between the two armies with his sword and shouted, shouting a challenge. As mentioned earlier, this Wahid is the head of the four great generals around Yelu Longqing, and he is extremely brave.

The war drums on the city walls rumbled loudly, and the gates were opened. Yelu Longqing fixed his eyes and saw a heroic and extraordinary Ming warrior carrying a horse lance and riding out of the horse, it turned out to be the Ming Emperor, Yang Peng!

When Wahid saw that it was the Ming Emperor who came out of the battle, he was surprised and overjoyed, and he only felt that if he could capture this Ming Emperor alive, he would have made a great achievement! immediately didn't talk nonsense, urged the war horse, and rushed towards Yang Peng with a mace. The soldiers on both sides shouted together, and a huge voice soared into the sky.

Seeing the two horses hedging rapidly, they met in an instant! In an instant, the cold light flickered, and almost at the same time, a loud bang resounded throughout the audience! Immediately, the two horses staggered past, each running dozens of steps, and then turned the horse's head and rushed towards each other again!

Wahid was in a hurry, raised his mace high with both hands and smashed it against Yang Peng's head, as if he was splitting Huashan, the momentum was overwhelming, and it was extremely terrifying! Yang Peng moved the horse lance with both hands, and the horse lance picked up from the bottom up, and the last hair came first, directly taking the opponent's wrist! Vahid was taken aback and hurriedly tried to retract the mace! However, at this moment, Yang Peng suddenly changed his move, and the iron horse lance in his hand changed an angle strangely, changing Wahid's wrist to stabbing the opponent's chest! Vahid didn't expect this move at all, and wanted to move the mace to block, but the trick was already old, and it was too late, and he wanted to dodge, but the opponent's speed was too fast, and his body didn't obey the call at all.

Bang! Between the lightning and flint, the iron horse lance in Yang Peng's hand slammed into Wahid's chest! Vahid couldn't help screaming, and the whole person flew off the saddle and fell heavily to the ground!

The shouts of the Xiliao soldiers stopped abruptly, and they all stared at this scene with wide eyes and a look of horror, they couldn't believe it anyway, the brave Wahid was picked off by the Ming Emperor in two moves!

Yelu Longqing reacted first, and shouted at the fierce generals around him: "Let's go up together and save Wahid!" "Just Wahid? Wahid accepted Yang Peng as a chest hammer, can he still live? I saw Yang Peng pick Wahid off the war horse last, but he frowned, it turned out that the feeling from the horse lance just now was not the feeling of piercing the human body at all, but like stabbing on a heavy iron plate, and the lance just now failed to kill Wahid at all.

Yang Peng immediately reined in his horse's head and rushed towards Wahid, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while.

Wahid was struggling to get up, but when he saw the other party riding his horse, he was frightened and hurriedly picked up his mace and prepared to resist. Yang Peng rode his horse and rushed in front of Wahid, wielding an iron horse lance with both hands and sweeping over! Seeing the ferocity of the opponent's horse lance, Vahid was startled and hurriedly raised his mace to block! With a loud snap, the mallet slammed into the mace and knocked it flying! Wahid staggered backwards, unable to stop.

Yelu Longqing and the others couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations, it turned out that Yang Peng's second move had already come one after another, directly taking Wahid's throat! Seeing the cold light flickering in front of him, Vahid hurriedly dodged in a panic! His movements were fast, but Yang Peng's speed was even faster, and he saw that the cold light of the horse lance penetrated Wahid's throat, and the blood flashed! Yelu Longqing and the others couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat!

Yang Peng picked up Wahid and threw him out far away, with a bang, this time Wahid couldn't get up again. Yelu Longqing looked at Yang Peng, who was immediately speared, and his eyes couldn't help but show infinite fear, and suddenly pointed at Yang Peng and shouted: "Kill him!" Kill him! ”

More than a dozen fierce generals rode their horses towards Yang Peng, shouting again and again, like a pack of hungry wolves. Yang Peng quickly put the horse lance across the saddle, then took out the cloud-piercing bow and wolf tooth arrow, and bent the bow and aimed it at an enemy general who rushed to the front. As soon as the finger was loosened, with a bang, the arrow turned into a phantom, and almost at the same time, the Xiliao warrior in front screamed, flipped back, and dismounted. Immediately, Yang Peng fired arrows in a row, and six more enemies were shot off their horses! The rest of them were frightened in their hearts, hurriedly turned their horses' heads, and ran back!

Yang Peng took out another wolf's tooth arrow, put on the bowstring, and aimed the bow at Yelu Longqing, who was screaming angrily. Yelu Longqing didn't notice it, but Mills next to him noticed it, and in a panic, he hurriedly pounced on Yelu Longqing and threw Yelu Longqing off the war horse! Almost at the same time, Yang Peng let go of the finger that was holding the bowstring, and the cloud-piercing bow shook suddenly, and the wolf's tooth arrow flew through the space between the two sides in an instant, whistling and flying past Yelu Longqing's head, and hit the warrior carrying the imperial flag with a pop! The warrior fell down with a muffled snort, and the imperial flag in his hand also fell, and the scene was chaotic in an instant!

Yelu Longqing was helped up by Mills, and shouted urgently: "Retreat!" Evacuate! The 200,000-strong army immediately retreated, and in the midst of the smoke and dust, retreated into the camp. On the city walls, there was a loud cheer.

Yang Peng laughed, turned his horse's head, and ran back to the city. Yang Erya immediately greeted him, looked at Yang Peng with beautiful eyes, and said: "Big brother picks the enemy with a gun, and retreats from the army with seven arrows, what a hero!" ”

Yelu Longqing retreated into the camp, and when he thought of today's battle, he couldn't help but be depressed. In today's battle, not only did it fail to dampen the enemy's spirit, but it lost Vahid and seven other fierce generals, which greatly reduced the prestige of his own army, which really outweighed the loss! Inside the big tent, all the generals shrugged their heads, like defeated roosters!

Mills said: "Today's battle can be regarded as some gains, at least it is certain that the Ming army is in Hezhou City." ”

Yelu Longqing nodded and said, "Not bad." Since the Ming Emperor is here, there is no doubt that the Ming army is in Hezhou. They should not have discovered the whereabouts of Yeluzhong's army, so they could make Yeluzhong act according to the original plan and bypass the Tianshan Mountains to take Hamili. As long as the Hami force is recaptured, the back road of the Ming army is cut off, and the army will inevitably be in turmoil. ”

When everyone heard this, their originally low morale was reinvigorated, and they only felt that although they had suffered losses today, they still had a great advantage.

Yelu Longqing felt that there was no need to wait, and immediately sent a fast horse messenger to inform Yeluzhong.

It is said that Yelu Zhong originally stationed troops in Luntai according to Yelu Longqing's order, and after receiving Yelu Longqing's order, he immediately opened the whole army and marched straight to Hamili along the Yinshan North Road. The purpose of their army is twofold, first, to seize Hamili to cut off the back road of the Ming army, and second, after cutting off the back road of the Ming army, concentrate the main force to the west, and cooperate with the army of Yelu Longqing to eliminate the Ming army that fell into chaos in one fell swoop. Yelu Longqing's strategy can be said to be very clever, he wants to disturb the morale of the Ming army first, and then destroy the Ming army in one go.

For Yelu Longqing, the elimination of the Ming army was only the basic goal, and he hoped that Yang Peng, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, could be captured while eliminating the Ming army. If Yang Peng can be captured, then the situation will become very favorable to him in an instant, and at that time, I am afraid that not only the Western Xia region will be included in the pocket of Western Liao!

While Yeluzhong led the army to march rapidly towards Hamili, Yelu Longqing continued to send troops to carry out harassing attacks on Hezhou, and whenever the Ming army went out of the city to counterattack, they immediately retreated. Yelu Longqing's real purpose of attacking like this was naturally not to attack the city, but to worry that Yang Peng would find out his true intentions, so he used this to divert Yang Peng's attention. Of course, he didn't dare to really collide head-on with the Ming army, he knew that he was really not sure about dealing with the 200,000 army of the Ming Dynasty with his own 200,000 army.

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