When the Ming army entered the firing range, they released their arrows together, and with a loud sound, the dense arrows covered the sky like dark clouds. Seeing such a scene, the Khitan generals roared in unison: "Defense!" The Khitan army immediately stopped advancing, and the shield bearers raised their shields one after another, and in an instant, countless shields formed a huge curtain that almost completely protected the Khitan army! I heard a loud crackling sound, and the arrows rained down like a rain, almost all of them were covered by the shield curtain!

"Withdraw the shield! Counterattack! ”

The shield curtain was immediately removed, and tens of thousands of crossbowmen simultaneously set up arrows and bent their bows, aiming forward at a forty-five-degree angle, shooting together! With a loud whin, another dark cloud flew into the sky! The soldiers of the Ming Army standing on the obstacle jumped down one after another, and in an instant, the locust-like arrows swooped in, crackling and hitting the obstacles, and instantly nailed those obstacles into hedgehogs!

The Ming army retreated to the camp and climbed to a high place, the infantry with shields in front and the infantry with strong bows and crossbows in the rear, and the officers and men of each army moved very quickly.

As soon as the Ming army was ready, the Khitan army forwards overflowed the obstacles like ant colonies.

"Shoot the arrows!"

With Li Xu's roar, the Daming infantry army in the camp fired arrows together, and the ground in front of him was dark, and the Khitan army that had passed the obstacle was shot down countless times, but then the Khitan army regained its surging momentum, and the dense arrow rain seemed to have no effect on the Khitan army.

"Rocket!" Li Xu roared again.

At this time, the enemy army rushed to about twenty paces in front of the camp, and the strong bows and crossbows were fiercely shot at close range, and countless whistling arrows shot the enemy rolling all over the ground, and the fierce charging momentum was sudden! At the same time, a platoon of infantry fired a wave of rockets at the barrier outside the barracks, falling like a rain of fire and disappearing into nothingness. Suddenly, in the obstacles, there were several fire heads, and then the flames spread rapidly along the obstacles, and in the blink of an eye, a wall of flames was formed along the obstacles, the fire demon opened his teeth and claws, and the flames rushed straight into Xiao Han, and the Khitan soldiers who were climbing over the obstacles were covered in fire, and they were burned with a strange scream! Seeing this scene, the large army behind was shocked and hurriedly stopped advancing, while the Khitan soldiers who had already crossed the obstacle felt overwhelmed!

At this moment, the gate of the camp was wide open, iron hooves rushed out, and the general who led the attack was none other than Yang Peng, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Thousands of war horsemen leaped into the chaotic enemy army, trampled flesh and bones with iron hooves, and blood and water were set off with knives and guns, and the Khitan army could not stop it at all, and suffered heavy casualties in an instant! Yang Peng led thousands of hussars to kill in the enemy army, although many enemy troops desperately resisted, but there was no way to recover the situation, only a moment of effort, the isolated thousands of Khitan troops were slaughtered, and then Yang Peng led the war cavalry back to the camp.

Xiao Gan couldn't help but be furious when he saw that the enemy army was well prepared and prepared, and his own hasty attack suffered heavy losses. However, he soon calmed down, knowing that his opponent was well prepared, and although his own troops were strong, it would be difficult to succeed in rushing to attack, and he would only sacrifice the lives of his soldiers in vain. As soon as he thought of this, he immediately made a decision and ordered the army to suspend the attack and retreat to the city pass. The horn of the retreating army sounded loudly, and more than 200,000 Khitan troops retreated to the city in an orderly manner.

Yang Peng saw the Khitan army retreating, gave an order to the generals, and went back to rest.

Xiao Gan and the others returned to the big tent, all of them were like defeated roosters. At this moment, a dusty herald rushed in, and when he saw that he couldn't leave, he hurriedly said: "Big marshal, it's not good, Xiao Lu is also a rout of the whole army!" "Xiao Lu also did it, the Khitan army general who defended the direction of Luanhe City, commanded 150,000 people, with 50,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Luanhe City, which was guarded by only 10,000 soldiers of the Third Army, and personally led 100,000 troops to aid Bei'anzhou, but because Xiao Yebule had been defeated and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he had to retreat. According to the intelligence not long ago, Xiao Lu Yegan is leading the main force to confront the First Army of the Ming Dynasty, and Xiao Lu is also leading another 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command to besiege Luanhe City, it is said that the progress is very smooth, and the inner line of the city has been contacted, and the city can be taken down overnight, why didn't it take long to say that they were defeated? !

When they heard the herald's words, they were amazed and inexplicable, and they all thought that they had misheard. Xiao Gan said angrily: "What did you say? Xiao Lu was also defeated? Did I hear me right? ”

The herald hurriedly said: "It's Xiao Lu who has also been defeated, and the marshal heard it right!" ”

Xiao Gan didn't leave Huo Ran and shouted, "This is impossible! Not long ago, the situation of Xiao Lu's subordinate was still very favorable, how could it suddenly be defeated? It is impossible for the First Legion of the Ming Dynasty, which has suffered a lot of losses, to defeat them! ”

The herald said: "It's not the First Army, it's the 200,000 military army led by Yang Jiumei!" Xiao Gan was stunned for a moment, and then listened to the herald say: "Not long ago, Yang Jiumei personally led 200,000 military troops to appear under Luanhe City, and in one fell swoop, she defeated the 50,000 army besieging Luanhe City!" Immediately, Yang Jiumei led 200,000 military troops along the Luan River to attack Xiao Lu and after doing it, at the same time, the first army of the Ming Dynasty attacked head-on, Xiao Lu was also caught off guard and couldn't resist it, and the army was defeated! ”

Xiao Gan was shocked, he didn't expect the situation to develop like this. Military government army? It's not that he didn't think about it, but he didn't take the military army seriously before, just that they were useless civilian troops, used to defend the city or be embraced, but to attack those armies is not only useless, but it will definitely hinder the right army to fight. But I didn't expect that it was these military government troops who played a key role in defeating Xiao Luye's army in one fell swoop!

The subordinate general also said in amazement: "The military army of the Ming Dynasty can actually defeat our main force? Is this so possible? The generals also looked incredulous.

Xiao Gan frowned; "It seems that they all underestimate their military army! Their military army is certainly completely different from what we imagined before! ”

Then he asked the herald: "Did Xiao Lu also wipe out the whole army?" ”

The herald shook his head and said, "More than half of the losses are lost, but not all the troops are destroyed!" ”

"What is the situation in the south, you can tell me clearly!" Xiao Gan said angrily.

The herald responded, and then said: "After the defeat of General Xiao Luyegan, he retreated to Dushan, preparing to rely on Dushan to resist the enemy's attack. When General Xiao Xianghe learned the news of the defeat of General Xiao Lu Yegan, he had given up attacking Yuguan, leaving 20,000 soldiers and horses to retreat to Runzhou, and he led the main force to aid Dushan, preparing to join forces with Xiao Lu to deal with the Ming army. That's all the villain knows. ”

Xiao Gan was originally a little flustered, but after listening to the herald's account, he calmed down. Although the south was defeated for a while, the situation was not out of control, Xiao Lu also did not have half of the men left, plus the army that fit the dry, it should be enough to deal with the Ming army in the south, even if it can't win, it must be able to stabilize the front. His thoughts couldn't help but move to the middle lane, and what he was most worried about now was Xiao Sa's departure. The Ming army secretly crossed Chen Cang by repairing the plank road, and unexpectedly concentrated its forces to defeat Xiao Sali's army, and I don't know what the current situation is, and where are the 100,000 reinforcements now?

Perhaps it was a wish, and with this thought, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the big tent, and then I saw another dusty officer hurrying in.

Xiao Gan didn't leave to recognize him as a scout officer who was sent to Dading Mansion to investigate the situation, and immediately asked, "How is Xiao Sa's situation?" Where did the reinforcements go? ”

The officer hurriedly said: "Marshal Qiqi, General Sa Li has retreated to Jianzhou." "Jianzhou, one hundred and fifty miles east of Dading Mansion, is located on the north bank of the Daling River.

Xiao Gan hurriedly asked again: "How many soldiers and horses are left under Xiao Sali's command?" ”

"Xiao Sa has suffered heavy losses from the general drinking, and less than half of the soldiers and horses are left to retreat to Jianzhou."

Xiao Gan didn't leave but breathed a sigh of relief, only feeling that the situation was not too bad. I only heard the scout officer continue: "100,000 reinforcements have now arrived in Xuanzhou. "Xuanzhou, two hundred miles east of Jianzhou, on the south bank of the Daling River.

Xiao Gan immediately ran to the map, looked at several key positions on the map, and muttered: "The situation is not very bad, although our army has lost its dominant position, but the overall strength of the two sides is equal, and the final victory or defeat is not certain!" Then he thought: "Although the eldest princess has more than 300,000 main forces, it is impossible to capture Jianzhou in a short time. 100,000 reinforcements could arrive in time. With 200,000 soldiers and horses to defend Yijianzhou and Daling River, it will be guaranteed to be foolproof! ”

"The question now is, what will the enemy do in the face of the current situation?"

Xian also said: "Since it is not easy to fight in the direction of Jianzhou, will they transfer the main force to fight with us again?" The generals whispered.

Xiao Gan shook his head slowly and said, "It shouldn't be." In this case, wouldn't the war situation be completely stalemate? Emperor Ming and the eldest princess would never do this! I think the eldest princess will continue to attack Jianzhou with her main force, and the Ming Emperor is here to contain me? He frowned and muttered, "In this case, is the Ming Emperor's courage a little too big?" With the respect of the emperor, the main force of our army is contained here? Then he thought that Yang Peng was already doing this, and he couldn't help but feel that his doubts were really funny.

Xiao Gan turned around and said to the generals: "The enemy army will definitely continue to attack Jianzhou with the eldest princess, and the Ming Emperor will continue to contain us here!" Hmph, Emperor Ming is really too arrogant, thinking that he can contain our 300,000 army with just one legion in his hand! In that case, I will take this opportunity to annihilate him completely! ”

The generals couldn't help but boil their blood and howled one after another.

General Mo Gan said worriedly: "Marshal, do you want to report the situation here to Your Majesty?" The last general is really worried, if there is a case, we can't afford to take this responsibility! ”

Hua Yi immediately shouted: "Why do you want to tell Your Majesty? We can handle it ourselves! Wait until the Ming army is repulsed, and then tell Your Majesty! Several generals chimed in.

Mo Gan looked at Xiao Gan and said worriedly: "The last general is only worried that if we can't deal with it, the consequences will be unimaginable!" It's better to report to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to immediately lead the main army back for reinforcements! Otherwise, if the worst happens, I won't be able to explain it to Your Majesty! Hua Xi glared at Mo Gan angrily and shouted, "Mo Gan, you coward! Mo Gan was furious and said angrily: "Am I Mo Gan afraid of death? It's just that it doesn't matter if I die, in case the situation gets out of control, at that time, how can we explain to Your Majesty? I'm afraid that even if they all kill themselves and apologize, it will be useless! ”

Hua Qi shouted: "It is impossible to have the situation you said! ”

Mo Gan said angrily: "On the battlefield, anything can happen!" Not long ago, we thought that we had the chance to win, but who would have thought that in just a few days, the entire battle situation would have such a big reversal! Now our army is in a worse position than before, and the likelihood of another defeat is at least much greater! ”

Hua scolded and said, "You bastard, talk about all this bullshit!" Fuck, what if the gods heard and really put us together? Everyone couldn't help but laugh, but they couldn't help but be a little worried.

Mo Gan saw that the flowers were entangled, so he simply ignored him, and said to Gan: "General Mingjian, the last general thinks it is better to report the situation here to Your Majesty!" Hua Qi exclaimed, "I don't think it's necessary! ”

Xiao Gan was inseparable, and he reasoned to tell him that Mo Gan's worries were reasonable, but he felt that he had reported the past like this, and his own side obviously had an advantage but the battle situation had become so bad, and he couldn't escape the blame, and it was really a big shame! After hesitating for a while, reason finally prevailed over face, Xiao Gan said, "Mo Gan is right!" Just in case, your majesty must be asked for reinforcements! Seeing this, Mo Gan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "Handsome and wise!" Immediately, Xiao Gan did not leave, and immediately ordered a personal army officer to rush to the west as a messenger. I can't help but think: I don't know what the war situation is in the West? The opponents are only the rebels and the Western Liao army, so they should have already played Kai, right?

At the same time, Yang Peng received a message from the flying pigeon in the west. The situation in the west is much worse than Chen Xiao had predicted, and the current situation in the west can be said to be the worst situation that Yang Peng had predicted before. Barron and his nearly 100,000 rebels united hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Western Liao, and according to Yang Peng's previous estimates, even if they could not advance, they could at least contain the Jin army's 450,000 troops for a long time. However, the development of the war surprised Yang Peng. In less than three days, the situation of the battle took a huge turn, 100,000 rebels suddenly mutinied, several of Barron's generals killed him, led 100,000 rebels back to the Liao State, and then cooperated with the army of Yehu Hugo to launch a surprise attack on the Western Liao army. The Western Liao army was caught off guard, defeated and lost, and lost the Zhaisangbo that had only been occupied for a short time in the first battle, and then fought and was defeated, and retreated to the Alashan Pass, and then the Liao army swooped down on the mountain pass, and the Western Liao army, which had been shaken by the army's heart, could not resist, and in only four days, the vital Alashan Pass was lost.

The army fled south in a hurry, while the Khitan army drove straight in. Western Liao tried to stabilize the front twice, but was broken through by the Liao army, which was in full swing. As the saying goes, the house leak happened to rain overnight, just when the Western Liao was beaten by the Khitan army and turned into a daze and fled, the former prince of the Western Liao, Yelu Yilie, led an army of 100,000 to the east in the name of setting things right, and the northeast of the Sticky Baen and other departments also declared their allegiance to the Liao State and sent troops to cooperate with the Khitan army to attack. For a while, wolf smoke was billowing from the east, west and north of Western Liao, and the iron hooves were raging, and the situation was very unfavorable. The situation in front of him was obvious, if there was no rescue from Yan Yunjun, Yelu Hongjun would not be able to resist it at all.

Yang Peng rubbed his forehead and muttered, "What a pig-like teammate!" After a little thought, he immediately wrote a biography of the flying pigeon, which was sent out. Yang Peng's flying pigeon biography was given to Yang Yanzhao, so that he could immediately lead the army to rescue, and he must not let Hu Si's ears fall into the hands of others. After thinking about it, he wrote another flying pigeon biography and sent it to Duan Zhixian in Ningxia.

After doing this, Yang Peng walked out of the big tent, looked at the beautiful starry sky, and looked thoughtful.

Early the next morning, as soon as Yang Peng got up, he heard the earth-shattering sound of war drums outside, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Gan is coming again." ”

At this moment, the gate of the city gate was wide open, and Xiao Gan led the army out of the nest and waved the army to storm the Ming camp. This time, Xiao Gan was prepared, and first ordered the artillery to bombard the obstacles outside the camp, the smoke and dust were billowing out, the loud noise was shocking, and the wreckage of wooden blocks was flying all over the sky! In just a moment's effort, the obstacles that were built up by the rushing cars, flying buildings, cloud ladders and other objects in front of him were bombed to pieces, and countless huge gaps appeared!

Immediately, the Khitan army advanced forward, preparing to bombard the fence and gate of the Ming army with artillery fire. At this moment, there was a loud noise in the camp, and at the same time, there was a sharp whistling sound in the sky, and in an instant, the area where the Khitan army artillery was located seemed to be boiling, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the screams rang out, the cannon was blown apart, and the thick barrel actually flew up several feet in the air.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Gan frowned, raised his right hand and waved it forward. When even if there were daredevils carrying gunpowder bags and rushing towards the Ming camp, the roar could be heard clearly even on the battlefield where the artillery was rumbling.

At this moment, sharp arrows from the cheats continued to fly out after the fence on the gate, and the Khitan army daredevils fell to the ground one after another. In an instant, more than 200 daredevils lay on the ground, and there were thousands of feathers on the ground.

Seeing that the surprise attack of the death squad was ineffective, Xiao Gan immediately ordered the attacking troops to storm the enemy camp with a city car. Drums and horns contended, roared like thunder, nearly 10,000 Khitan soldiers pushed dozens of rushing vehicles to the city like a tide towards the Ming army camp.

Yang Peng ordered: "The artillery fire continues to attack the opponent's artillery team. Bows and crossbows are prepared, cavalry are ready. ”

Xiao Gan didn't leave the original hope that his own charge could attract the opponent's firepower, so that his artillery could be pushed up to bombard the enemy's gate, but he didn't expect that the enemy's artillery fire would continue to cover his own artillery, and the losses of artillery and personnel would continue to increase, and the artillery officers and soldiers were already panicked like something.

Xiao Gan was worried that if this continued, all the precious cannons would be buried, so he hurriedly ordered the artillery team to retreat. When the artillery officers heard the order, they hurriedly pushed the cannon and retreated. The Ming artillery bombarded for a while before stopping to greet the Khitan artillery team.

At this time, the assault force of the Khitan army had already rushed to the front of the camp. The dense rain of arrows continued to fly out of the camp, and the Khitan soldiers used shields to form a shield curtain to defend, and the rain of arrows continued to fall, and the crackling sound was endless, but such a dense rain of arrows did little damage to the Khitan army. At this moment, a loud rumbling sound rang out, and almost at the same time, the Khitan army was boiling, smoke and dust billowed into the sky, flames soared into the sky, and fragments of stumps flew all over the sky. It turned out that the Ming artillery fire had turned the target and bombarded the Khitan army assault troops. The rumbling artillery fire, overturning the river and the sea, is extremely powerful, as if it is a heavenly might, but the Khitan army is a Khitan army after all, and under such a fierce artillery attack, it is still crazy to rush towards the Yanyun camp.

The dense rain of arrows could not stop the Khitan army, and the ferocious artillery fire could not stop the Khitan army. At this time, the Daming artillery fire had to stop the bombardment, because this position was already a dead angle for shooting, and the position of the Daming artillery could not shoot them at all.

"Defense!" The leader of the army roared. The Khitan soldiers actually stopped advancing, and formed a tortoiseshell formation with shields on the spot. It turned out that the Khitan army had been fighting with the Ming army for a long time, and was very familiar with the characteristics of the Ming army, and knew that the Ming army was accustomed to raiding with cavalry at this time, so the Khitan army immediately formed a defensive tortoiseshell formation at this time.

The Khitan army's idea was not wrong, at this moment, the gate opened, and the fierce general Wei Zhaode led the cavalry to rush out, but it crashed into the opponent's tortoiseshell defense battle array. The spears and knives crackled and hit the opponent's shield, but it was difficult to hurt the enemy in the slightest, and it was even more difficult to shake the enemy formation. At the same time, a spear stretched out from the gap between the shields to stab the Ming war horse, such a close distance, the Ming war horse could not avoid it, only to see the blood flying people on their backs. Wei Zhaode was greatly annoyed, and waved the big knife desperately, the knife flashed, only to hear a loud snap, and the big knife was even cut in two with a shield! However, no matter how brave Wei Zhaode is, it is useless, and he alone cannot affect the entire battle situation.

Xiao Gan saw that his assault troops had suppressed the Ming cavalry, and immediately ordered a full-scale attack. The soldiers of the Khitan army shouted and rushed towards the Daming camp, mighty, like an endless sea tide.

A group of iron-clad warriors like iron towers rushed out of the gate with Mo knives and battle axes, slashed and slashed over, and immediately broke through the tortoiseshell formation of the Khitan army, and killed the corpse of the Jin army until it was bloody! The Khitan army fought hard, but where could it defeat the powerful Modao army, and involuntarily retreated backwards! At this time, the cavalry had already retracted to the barracks, the cannons roared angrily, and the shells continued to fall into the surging waves of the enemy, causing ripples, but the Khitan army was already crazy, and such a fierce artillery fire could not make their offensive stop a little!

The Khitan army rushed to the front of the gate, the shield hand in front of the shield hand to resist the rain of arrows that constantly flew out of the camp, the crossbowmen in the back, constantly fighting back, the Khitan army is strong, the arrow rain is naturally more dense than the arrow rain of the Ming army, only to see a piece of dark cloud-like arrows continue to fly towards the Ming camp, crackling sound is endless, no matter how brave the Ming soldiers can not avoid such a dense arrow rain, people continue to fall in the arrow rain, the battle situation is very tragic.

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