Chapter 861. Fight back
The large army retreated one after another, and the baggage team walked at the rear. In the evening of the same day, the army entered the camp one after another, and the wilderness was full of noise and smoke. After driving for most of the day, everyone felt a little tired, and they gathered together in clusters to talk nonsense, but they also seemed relaxed.
Da-da, da-da, da-da, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and some soldiers couldn't help but follow the prestige, only to see a scout galloping towards him. The scout galloped into the camp until Xiao Gan did not leave the front of him, and said urgently; "Dashuai, it's not good, the baggage team was raided by the Ming War Cavalry!" Xiao Gan was shocked, Xiao Gan immediately rushed to the slant and shouted: "Slanting, immediately gather all the war horses to rush to reinforcements with me!" Oblique also agreed, and ran down, and in an instant people shouted and neighed, and thousands of war horses gathered, and then rushed out of the camp under the leadership of Gan Buli and Xianye, and galloped away in the southwest direction. When the soldiers who remained in the camp saw such a scene, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Tens of thousands of warrior horsemen galloped at full speed on the field, constantly encountering the sergeants who had fled along the way. When the sun completely set, tens of thousands of Khitan army horsemen finally arrived at the scene of the incident. I saw corpses all over the wilderness, piles of grain and grass were burning fiercely, and soldiers who were not yet dead were wriggling on the ground! The assault apparently just ended!
Xiao Gan was furious, roared angrily, and then led the war cavalry towards Songshan City, he estimated that the enemy army should not go far, maybe they could catch up, and they had to annihilate those enemy cavalry who came to raid in order to reduce the hatred in his heart a little.
The sky was completely dark, a round of stars and moon hung above the treetops, and the sound of thunder in the wilderness was like thunder, and I saw that the black tide was surging.
Suddenly, there was a sharp and dense sound of breaking the sky in the air, and in an instant, the Khitan army horsemen who were galloping wildly turned over on their backs. The soldiers of the Khitan army were shocked by the sudden attack, and they all grabbed the reins of their horses. At this moment, another rain of arrows flew out of the woods, and many Khitan soldiers screamed and fell off their horses.
Xiao Gan pointed to the woods and shouted, "There is an ambush in the woods!" You also led 5,000 soldiers to ride in and clear the enemy! ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly rumbled in the west. Xiao Gan was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw that the Daming War Horse actually reflexively killed! In the darkness, there were only dark shadows, as if there were infinite people! Xiao Gan didn't care about it, and shouted loudly: "Fight!" Against! ”
In an instant, the Ming War Cavalry rushed in like a wave, and the force was fierce and unstoppable! The first general was particularly brave, the iron horse in his hand was like a dragon, and the enemy soldiers turned on their backs, and there was no one general at all! That brave and peerless warrior is none other than Yang Peng, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Thousands of war horses are moving forward, like tigers descending from the mountain, and wolves bursting into battle! The Khitan army was in a panic, and it was suddenly attacked like this, and it couldn't resist it in an instant! Xiao Gan saw that the situation was not good, and he didn't care about revenge, so he hurriedly led his cavalry out of the battle and rushed towards the east. Yang Peng led the Ming war cavalry to chase and kill for a while, and then turned back. The 2,000 infantry troops who had been ambushed in the woods also left the woods and returned to Matsuyama Castle.
Xiao Gan, who was galloping wildly, suddenly reined in the war horse. Seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly reined in the reins of their horses, and the fleeing army gradually stopped.
Xiao Gan couldn't leave to look at the surrounding war horses, and saw that the losses were not very large, so he said to the oblique: "The enemy must think that we are defeated and lost, and dare not pursue anymore, I prefer to be different from what they expected!" The order is given, and all the soldiers and horses will turn back immediately! "Slanted was also shocked, "Marshal, the enemy has an ambush!" Xiao Gan said: "There must be no more now, follow me!" Then he turned his horse's head and galloped back to the west, and a group of soldiers hurriedly beat their horses and followed.
Yang Peng had just returned to Songshan City when a scout hurried over and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, our retreating 2,000 infantry troops were attacked by enemy cavalry on the way!" ”
Yang Peng was taken aback, and hurriedly gathered all the soldiers and horses in the city to leave the city and rushed to rescue the infantry army. By the time we arrived at the scene, the battle was already over. The wilderness was littered with corpses, and the 2,000 infantry army was completely wiped out, and of course the enemy paid a considerable price. Yang Peng frowned and said, "I underestimate this Xiao Gan a little!" Wei Zhaode shouted with red eyes: "We want to avenge the brothers who died!" Yang Peng said: "Of course I want revenge, but not now!" The order is given, and all the soldiers and horses immediately return to Matsuyama Castle! Wei Zhaode was a little unwilling, but he didn't dare to disobey His Majesty's order, bowed down and promised to pass down the order.
It is said that Ya Yu Guanyin is leading the main army to fight with more than 200,000 enemy troops in Jianzhou, and when the battle is fierce, he suddenly learns that his eldest brother is in danger. Immediately panicked, and could no longer care about the enemy army in front of him, and immediately led the army to retreat, preparing to support the eldest brother. The Jin army in Jianzhou has been fighting very hard under the onslaught of the main force of the Ming Dynasty these days, and it has long been exhausted.
Ye Yu Guanyin led the army to retreat all the way west, abandoning several county towns such as Wending and Fufu that had been occupied, and within a few days the army of more than 300,000 troops retreated to Dading Mansion. Immediately, the army rushed north to Songshan, and when they arrived in Enzhou, they suddenly received a flying pigeon message from Yang Peng, and learned that Yang Peng had occupied Songshan Pavilion, and Xiao Gan's army had retreated to Jinzhou. Since the eldest brother was unharmed, Ya Yu Guanyin ordered the army to stop advancing and stay in Enzhou to wait for news from Yang Peng.
That night, Yang Peng only led the secret guards to Enzhou. When Ye Yu Guanyin saw Yang Peng, he became angry, threw himself into Yang Peng's arms and punched Yang Peng's chest, the power was so great, he simply regarded his husband as an enemy. Yang Peng stretched out his arms and hugged Ya Yu Guanyin tightly. Ya Kannon stopped, put his hands under his lover's ribs, hugged his lover's waist tightly, and two tears overflowed the corners of his eyes, flowed down his cheeks, and dripped to the ground.
Yang Peng said softly in the ear of Ya Yu Guanyin: "Don't be angry, okay?" Ya Yu Guanyin raised his head and said angrily: "Of course I have to be angry!" As an emperor, he is so messy! You don't even care about us! ”
Yang Peng said: "This is wronging me!" When I thought of you, I was so scared that I almost ran away! ”
Ya Yu Guanyin couldn't help but smile, his eyes became gentle, and he said angrily: "It's strange that you will escape from the battle!" Yang Peng smiled.
At this time, all the generals came in together, and saw His Majesty and Niangniang standing there holding hands, and Niangniang seemed to have just cried, and felt that she had come at an inopportune time, and they all pushed me and dragged me to the ground and prepared to withdraw.
When Ya Yin saw it, he shouted angrily: "Stop! ”
The generals hurriedly stopped, and they all smiled and bowed: "Your Majesty, Niangniang! ”
Ya Yu Guanyin raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What's so funny? The generals hurriedly waved their hands and said, "The last general didn't laugh!" ”
Yang Peng smiled and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let's talk nonsense, let's discuss the next move." All sit down. The generals answered, scattered to the left and right and sat down, and Ya Yin walked to the left hand and sat down. Yang Peng sat down in his seat and said to Ya Yu Guanyin: "Guanyin, tell me about the overall situation now." ”
Ya Yu Guanyin answered, glanced at the generals, and raised his voice: "At present, half of the territory west of Zhongjing Road, from Songshan Pavilion to Enzhou, to Dading Mansion to the south, the west side of this line has fallen into our hands. But the battle ahead won't be easy. The Khitan army still has a very strong force, Xiao Gan's inseparable army has retreated to Jinzhou, Xiao Sali's army is in Jianzhou, and Xiao Lu's army is based on Dushan. The total strength of the three Khitan armies is still nearly 600,000, which is not weaker than ours. In the direction of Dushan, although the total strength of our army is far greater than that of the enemy, the vast majority of the soldiers and horses are military government troops, and their combat strength is limited, so it is difficult to break through in the direction of Dushan, and it will definitely continue to be in such a stalemate as it is now. If our army wants to continue to expand its results, it must look at our main force! ”
Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Guanyin already has a plan?" ”
Ya Yan Guanyin glared at his lover, and said angrily: "I'm scared to death, how can I think of any plan!" The generals couldn't help laughing, and Yang Peng also laughed, his eyes full of tenderness.
Ye Yu Guanyin pondered: "If you want to follow my meaning, I will use the second army to guard Gubei Pavilion and Enzhou, and the main force of soldiers and horses will continue to attack Jianzhou,......" Then Ye Yu Guanyin explained his plan in detail. The generals turned their heads to each other. Yang Peng thought for a moment, feeling that Guanyin's plan was feasible, and he couldn't think of a better plan, so he raised his voice and asked the generals: "What do you think?" The generals stopped talking and agreed. Yang Peng saw that everyone had no opinions, so he decided to implement Guanyin's plan, and immediately issued a military order.
In the dead of night, Chen Xiao's exclamations came from Yang Peng's bedroom: "Ouch! Guanyin, you, you are taking revenge! ......" Ya Yin snorted, followed by the rapid and heavy gasps of a man and a woman.
A female guard, who had just been transferred to Ya Yu Guanyin's side, heard the movement in the room a little scary, and asked Captain Naren next to her worriedly: "Captain, is there something going on inside?" Something seems wrong! Naren glared and said, "What can happen between a husband and a wife?" Less! The female guard blushed and couldn't help muttering: "But, how can the husband and wife be so intense!" Seeing the captain's eyes, he quickly closed his mouth and stuck out his tongue. Yikes! Suddenly there was an exclamation from Ya Yu Guanyin in the room, like crying, and all the female guards were relieved.
Ya Yu Guanyin's exclamation was like a cry, and then Yang Peng laughed proudly. The husband and wife didn't know what they were doing, and they tossed and turned until late at night before they quieted down.
Yang Peng smiled: "It's not enough to do so intensely!" It turned out that Ye Yu Guanyin was lying on Yang Peng's chest, kissing his chest constantly, and a pair of slender hands were not idle. Yang Peng's eyes suddenly widened, and he hurriedly reached down and grabbed the palm of Ye Yu Guanyin's strange hand and dragged it up, and said angrily: "Don't make trouble, it's time to rest, there is something to do tomorrow!" Only then did Ya Kannon stop, lay down on his lover's chest, and closed his eyes.
Yang Peng looked at the quiet face of Ye Yu Guanyin, couldn't help but smile gently, wrapped his hands around Ye Yu Guanyin's waist, and closed his eyes.
At that moment, the sound of footsteps came to the bed. Yang Peng and Ya Yu Guanyin opened their eyes at the same time. Ya Yin turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Naren's voice came: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the flying pigeon from the Western Regions has arrived." ”“
Ye Yu Guanyin immediately got out of bed, and from Yang Peng's point of view, he saw the slender and extremely sexy body, and he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart. Ya Yu Guanyin didn't wear clothes and pants, so he stood naked by the bed, took the book from Naren's hand and read it, then returned to the bed, fell back on his lover's chest, and handed the book to Yang Peng's hands. Then he hugged his lover and closed his eyes, and said, "I'm going to fall asleep, don't tell me anything about it, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Yang Peng smiled slightly, picked up the book and read it.
The 500,000 Jin army led by Yehu Hugo went all the way to the city of Husi'er, and at the same time, the rebels of the tribes of Sticky Ba'en and Yeluyilie also entered the city of Husi'er. The capital of Western Liao was besieged and precarious.
When Yelu Hongjun, the emperor of Western Liao, was panicked like something. Asked the Manchu civil and military for a strategy to retreat from the enemy, but there was no good strategy, but some advocated sending envoys to the Ming Dynasty for help, some were silent, and some even put forward the idea of suing the Khitans for peace.
Yelu Hongjun saw that the enemy army was pressing the border, and the Ming army couldn't catch up for a while, so he was so anxious that he had to send someone to ask for help. Ye Hugo was particularly arrogant at the beginning, and he was determined to go out of the city and surrender to the Western Liao royal family and civil and military officials, otherwise the city would be slaughtered on the day the city was broken, and the city would be ruthless at that time, regardless of whether it was high or low, old or young, male or female. The envoy who sued for peace did not dare to be verbose, and hurriedly reported the attitude of Yelu Hugo to Yelu Hongjun and the Manchu ministers. Everyone said that this must be because he thought that the compensation he had come up with was not enough, so he insisted on it, advocating doubling the compensation and begging him to withdraw from the army. Yelu Hongjun also meant this, so he ordered the messenger to go out of the city again to negotiate peace.
The envoy stubbornly walked into the Liao army's tent with trepidation. The envoy would have attracted ridicule and insults from the other party, but to his surprise, after hastily reading the emperor's handwritten letter that he had submitted, he said, "Since you Xiliao know your sin, I will forgive you." The messenger didn't expect that Brother Hugh would agree, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, and shouted long live. Brother Ye Hugh said: "The compensation you paid must be delivered within today, otherwise don't blame me for going back on my word!" The messenger promised again and again, and hurried to exchange for a return.
When Xiliao heard the news of Ye Hugo's acceptance, he jumped in a trance. Immediately, Yelu Hongjun ordered the royal army to load all the gold and silver treasures in the treasury and transport them to the camp of the Jin army.
After this matter was done, the top and bottom of Xiliao were looking forward to hoping that the Jin army would withdraw as soon as possible. Early the next morning, the good news came, the Liao army outside the north city gate rolled up the flag and retreated northward, and the retreat was very fast! There was thunderous cheers in the city, and the people of the emperor and the ministers of the city had a feeling of joy that they had finally escaped! Yelu Hongjun decreed that he should be promoted to the first minister of peace.
However, a day later, the news from the Ming side made the Western Liao monarchs and ministers feel that they seemed to be placed together by Brother Ye. News came from the Ming side that the army led by Yang Yanzhao was about to arrive at Hu Si's ears, which was not the main thing, the main news was that the army led by the Ming Emperor was like a bamboo all the way to Zhongjing Road in Liao State, annihilating countless enemy troops, and had occupied half of the land of Zhongjing Road. After hearing the news, he immediately knew that the reason why Ye Hugo's attitude changed so dramatically and retreated so quickly did not seem to be his own credit at all, but because the war situation in the east was unfavorable and the nest was seriously threatened, he had to rush back to reinforce him, so he would agree to his request and leave in such a hurry.
Thinking of this, the monarchs and ministers of Western Liao looked at each other, depressed, and almost had a feeling of swallowing flies. Not to mention being a grandson in vain, I wasted so much money in vain! If only it lasted two more days!
Yelu Hongjun was depressed and indignant, and immediately cut the first initiative and the minister to the people, which can be regarded as a slight vent of resentment.
It is said that the Khitan army learned that the war situation in the east was unfavorable and was ready to roll up the flag and go north. When Yelu Yilie and the Khan elected by the tribes heard the news, they all came to the Liao army's tent to ask to see Jin Wushu.
Brother Ye Hugh met with the two, and before the two of them could speak, he said: "The Ming army has invaded my eastern border in a big way, and I must wave my army to support and deal with the Ming people!" ”
The two looked at each other, and said urgently: "The major affairs here depend on the leadership of Your Majesty, Your Majesty is gone, what should I do about the major affairs here?" Jereil chimed in: "Yes! Without the support of the army of the Great Liao Empire, I would certainly not be able to restore the country, and it would be difficult for the Sticky Grace tribes to fight against the Western Liao, and even the western borders of the Great Liao would not be able to maintain peace! I don't think Your Majesty has to worry too much about things in the East. Thinking that the Great Liao Empire has a vast territory and a prosperous army, the army left behind in the east will definitely be able to deal with the threat of the Ming Dynasty! And the war here has been fought to this point, and it is about to be finished, if you give up at this time, won't all the previous achievements be wasted! If you attack again in the future, you may not be able to achieve such good results! Sticky Grace echoed.
Brother Ye Hugh was actually extremely worried in his heart at the moment, but in the face of the two people in front of him, he couldn't expose his shortcomings, and he didn't want to lose the majesty of the Heavenly Empire, so after listening to the words of the two, he just said lightly: "Da Ming is not an ordinary opponent, I must deal with it carefully!" Seeing that Jereth was about to speak, he raised his right hand and interrupted him, saying, "You don't need to say anything, I have already decided." I will not interfere with you what you want to do. The two looked at each other, didn't know what to say for a while, only felt extremely depressed, it felt like a beautiful woman stripped naked and lying on the bed waiting for you to ravage, but at this moment, someone dragged you down.
Brother Ye Hugh said: "You have come just in time, and I am looking for you again. The two of them immediately looked at each other.
Ye Hugo said: "After our army returns to China, the occupied territory of Western Liao will be distributed to you. Both of them were overjoyed when they heard this.
Yehu Huge ordered his own soldiers to bring the map, pointed to the Alashan Pass, and said: "All the west of the Alashan Pass belongs to Yeluyi, and all the east of the Alashan Pass belongs to the Mubaen tribes." The two of them thanked each other. After the two left, Han Chang couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, why did you give them the land we had laid down?" The generals also echoed one after another, and they all looked very unwilling. "You think I want to! However, the Ming army has already launched a full-scale war against us, and we must deal with it with all our might, so this side has no choice but to give Yelu Yilie and Mu Baen some benefits, so that they can deal with Western Liao and contain the Ming army in the west for us! Do you understand? Everyone suddenly realized and bowed one after another: "Your Majesty is wise! ”
Before dawn the next day, Jeshua Hugo led his army north and retreated. Since the Liao army retreated, Yelu Yilie and Mu Baen naturally did not dare to stay, especially when there was news that the elite of the Ming Dynasty led by Yang Yanzhao, the general of the Ming Dynasty, was coming. Both of them retreated at the same time as the Liao army retreated, Yeluyi divided his army into two divisions, one led by his general Bonn to the West Sea (Lake Balkhash) to garrison, and he led the other to retreat to the Kyrgyz Mountains and set up camp. The Kyrgyz Mountains are just two hundred miles west of Husihu's ears. And Sticky Baen retreated to Alahu, and at the same time divided his troops to garrison Baigudian on the edge of the desert. Alahu Lake is not far east of Alashankou.
Yang Yanzhao led the Yanyun army to Hu Si's ears, and when he saw that the enemy army was retreating, he did not pursue it, and stationed it on the spot, and at the same time the flying pigeon passed a book to report the situation here to Yang Peng.
In the early morning sun, Yang Peng and Ye Yu Guanyin led the army south to Dading Mansion. Yang Peng and Ye Yu Guanyin walked side by side, Ye Yu Guanyin said: "Ye Yu Guanyin has left Xiliao, and he will definitely return to the east!" According to the time, we still have a month to go! If you can't make a breakthrough in this month's time, you should pause the offense and switch to defense! Yang Peng nodded, glanced at Ye Yu Guanyin, and said with a smile: "Since we have taken a lot of advantage, then we have to be careful of others to retaliate!" Ya Yu Guanyin nodded and smiled: "That's it!" Then he said: "I propose to expand the mobilization scope of the military army!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Then mobilize the military government troops in Hanzhong, Henan, and Shandong." Looking at Ya Yu Guanyin, Ye Yu Guanyin agreed. Yang Peng immediately ordered the guards to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote an order on horseback, stamped his seal, and then handed it to Li Lang and ordered him to send it out immediately.
Two days later, the army arrived at Dadingfu, rested for a day, and marched westward.
At this time, Xiao Gan did not know that His Majesty the Emperor had led a large army to come back, and in the face of the current situation, he only felt anxious. However, at this moment, bad news came again, the 100,000 Taiyuan military army of the Ming Dynasty had arrived, and there were two artillery teams.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
