Chapter 869, the plan remains the same
Yong Ren frowned, looking a little impatient, and said, "I also think we can't wait any longer!" If Liu Zhiliang detects and prepares in advance, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses! Seeing what Fujiwara Shiguang was going to say, he said, "I have already decided on this matter, and Master Shiguang will follow my orders." When Fujiwara Shiguang heard this, he couldn't say anything more, so he sighed.
Fujiwara Shimitsu and Fujiwara Nariko came out of the study. Fujiwara Cheng personally saw Fujiwara Shiguang with a worried look, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, the Liao Kingdom is going to do its best this time, and the Ming Army is definitely not an opponent!" After all, most of the armies that the Ming Dynasty put into the battlefield were not regular armies with strong combat power, but military government troops, although there were many troops, but they were certainly not the opponents of the Khitans! Fujiwara Shimitsu sighed and said, "I hope so." Fujiwara Shimitsu said categorically: "It must be so!" Then he said excitedly: "The Ming army was defeated this time, and I believe that it will no longer be able to go on the Northern Expedition!" And we took this opportunity to recapture Kyushu, and the whole situation is very favorable for us! Fujiwara Shimitsu said, "I hope everything will be as we hope!" Fujiwara Narita smiled and said: "Our sunrise country is protected by Amaterasu, and it will definitely get better and better!" My lord, since Your Highness has made up your mind, let's hurry up and follow it! Fujiwara nodded.
The sight shifted to Dading Mansion.
The fast horse scouts continued to rush into Dading Mansion and continuously reported the situation of the Liao army's movement to Yang Peng. Yang Peng convened the generals to discuss, and immediately made corresponding arrangements for the Khitan army to attack in two ways. The overall plan can be summarized as defending the north and attacking the east. Yang Peng planned to lead the Second Army Corps and 100,000 military troops led by Li Xu to rely on Songshan Pavilion, Jinzhou, Enzhou, Songshan City, and Dadingfu to resist the Liao army on the North Road, and at the same time personally led the main force to attack the Khitan Army on the East Road from Xingzhongfu, with the goal of destroying them in the shortest possible time. If this plan is successful, then the main force will quickly advance north after destroying the enemy army on the east road, and go straight to Wu'an Prefecture to outflank the back road of the Khitan army on the north road, in order to completely annihilate the Khitan army on the north road. If it goes well, then this battle is over, and the Great Liao Empire has basically collapsed.
The plan was set, and the army sprang into action. Soon after, the Liao army on the northern route led by Ye Hugo entered the city of Jinzhou, and the reason why they did not go closer to the Songshan Pavilion was naturally because the Songshan Pavilion was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and although the Jinzhou side was much farther away, it was much easier to attack.
When the army arrived at the city of Jinzhou, they saw that the gate of Jinzhou was wide open, and a large city gave people a sense of silence like a barren mountain.
Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but be suspicious, and immediately ordered the army to line up to prepare for battle, and then ordered a thousand war horsemen to enter the city first to investigate the situation. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers nervously watched as the thousand war horsemen rushed into the city gate, but after a while, nothing happened, and they couldn't help but gradually relax. Soon after, a knight rushed back and reported to Jeschel: "Your Majesty, there is no one left in the city except for some old men! ”
Yehu Hugo showed a thoughtful look and muttered, "Did the enemy give up Golden State on his own initiative?" Yes, there are no shelters around Jinzhou, although it is difficult to defend, and it is difficult to rescue and retreat after being surrounded, so it is better to take the initiative to give up guarding such a city. At this point, Brother Huce only felt suddenly enlightened. I feel that it is a very good sign that Golden State will go down without a fight, and this time maybe God will be on his side. Jerehugo raised his right hand and shouted, "Enter the city!" "Hundreds of thousands of troops restarted, the rumbling sound is more amazing than the thunder of summer, and as far as the eye can see, where are the people, it is clearly a brown tide!
Soon after, Yehu Hugo received a report from Xizuo lurking around Dading Mansion, and learned the general movement of the Ming army, and immediately judged that Yang Peng planned to adopt the strategy of defending the south and attacking the east, defending the north with fewer troops, and at the same time gathering the main army to attack Xiao Sali's army, in order to defeat Xiao Sali's army before they defeated their northern defenders, and then turned around to besiege their own army.
Han Chang said urgently: "Your Majesty, the last general is worried that Xiao Sa will not be able to resist the big handsome, so it's better to change the previous plan, stop the march, and mobilize the main force to rush to the aid of Xiao Sa and drink the big handsome!" Several generals chimed in, all looking worried.
Brother Ye Hugh asked angrily, "Are you afraid of the Ming Army?" ”
Han Chang said: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I've fought with the Ming Army so many times, and we all know very well the power of the Ming Army." Even if the strength is quite large, I am afraid that our army will be difficult to deal with them, not to mention that now Yang Peng has concentrated superior forces to deal with Xiao Sali. The last general really can't help but worry about whether Xiao Sa will be able to resist it. ”
"If the enemy army is all regular troops, I will have such worries. But this is not the case. Although Yang Peng mobilized superior forces to attack Xiao Sa Li, but most of them were either military troops or Xiao Yebule's rebels, how strong can such an army be? All the generals echoed, and the general Da Lan said loudly: "If Xiao Sali can't deal with such an enemy army, it's too useless!" ”
Han Chang frowned and said, "However, most of Xiao Sali's subordinates are also improvised people's troops!" ”
Brother Ye Hugh glared and shouted: "We northern people, we have grown up on horseback since we were children, and we were born to be warriors, how can we be compared with the Central Plains People's Army?" Seeing that Han Chang was still about to speak, he said unhappily: "I have already decided, don't say it anymore!" When Han Chang heard this, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
Brother Ye Hugh glanced at the generals and sneered: "Yang Peng's approach is self-defeating!" He led the main force to attack Xiao Sali, and I just took this opportunity to go straight to Dading Mansion! I don't believe that he can defeat Xiao Sa Li, and we can't break into Dading Mansion all the way! The generals shouted.
Ye Hugo immediately made arrangements for the generals, and Ling Da Lazy led the forward to raid the Ming army's defense line on the Tuhe line. Da Lazy promised loudly. Yehu Hugo then said to the generals: "The rest of the generals will follow me and break through the Tuhe defense line with great strength. The generals agreed.
The so-called Tuhe River is a river between Enzhou and Jinzhou. If the Khitan army wants to seize Dadingfu, it must first capture Enzhou, and if it wants to capture Enzhou, it must first cross the Tuhe River. Although the Ming army gave up Jinzhou, it deployed heavy troops along the Tuhe River to build a large number of defensive offensives, and the Liao army wanted to cross the Tuhe River and must first defeat the Ming army guarding the Tuhe.
Just when the Khitan Army on the North Road was actively mobilizing to attack the Tuhe defense line, the main force of the Ming Army led by Yang Peng had already passed Jianzhou, and the forward cavalry and Xiao Sali's forward cavalry met in the riverside wasteland and fought a vicious battle. The Khitan army was defeated and retreated.
Xiao Gan was very surprised when he received the news that the main army of the Ming Dynasty was coming, and immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and retreat to Xingzhong Mansion.
The Ming army marched eastward along the Daling River, until it reached the city of Xingzhongfu, lined up in a military formation, shouting challenges. Xiao Gan stood on the city gate tower and looked out of the city, only to see the enemy army arrayed on the wasteland outside the city, the strength of the army is like the sea, boundless, swords and guns are like forests, the cold light is bright and snowy, the flag is surging, the dragon and the tiger are leaping, it can really be said to be mighty and thrilling!
I saw a Ming warrior riding a horse to the city and shouting challenges. A burly general beside Xiao Gan immediately asked for his life: "Dashuai, let me go to see this enemy general!" The man who spoke, named Baoba, is a fierce general of the Liao State who has risen in the past two years, with extraordinary strength, and has made many achievements in the war against Khorezm in the west, and his reputation is great.
Xiao Gan looked at the Ming warrior who was challenging outside the city and said: "This person is called Yang Jing, he is a fierce general in the Ming army, he is extremely brave, you can't be careless!" Leopard Ba smiled: "Don't worry! How much can such a Hess be able to do it! The last general is going to cut off his black head! ”
Yang Jing was scolding happily with a pair of pure steel plate axes, when he suddenly saw the city gate open, and a burly enemy general rode out on horseback, and became excited. The drums of war rumbled loudly above the city, cheering for the leopards.
Leopard Ba carried a long-handled axe and ran to Yang Jing more than ten steps in front of him to restrain his horse, and shouted in stiff Chinese: "I'll go to your head!" ”
"Fuck your shit!" Yang Jing scolded, and at the same time urged the war horse under his crotch, raised a pair of plate axes high and rushed towards the leopard. Seeing Yang Jing rushing towards him, Leopard Ba didn't have to say anything, and immediately urged the horse to meet him, raising the big axe with both hands. The war drums of the armies on both sides were terrifying, and the soldiers shouted one after another, like the tide of the sea.
In the blink of an eye, the two horses intersected, Yang Jing waved the plate axe, the leopard Ba waved the steel axe, and there was a loud bang, and the huge sound was clearly visible in the shouts of the million army.
The two horses staggered past, then turned their horses and charged at each other. The two fierce generals were like tigers and dragons, killing fiercely and abnormally, and the weapons of the two people continued to collide like a thunder hammer and made a shocking sound, and the soldiers on both sides saw that their blood was boiling, and the shouts were wave after wave.
After 20 rounds, the two sides are still inseparable. After forty rounds, it is still difficult to hide the superiority. The two generals had obviously been killed, and they both viciously swung their axes at each other, and the sharp and ferocious axes seemed to be about to separate the other party's body and splash blood!
The two generals fought fiercely for 60 rounds, and always won and lost partially. Xiao Gan was worried that the leopard would lose, so he hurriedly sent five strong generals to fight. Seeing this, Da Ming's side immediately sent five fierce generals to meet the battle.
Although there are only twelve people fighting, it feels like it is a little more fierce than the battle of thousands of troops.
A scuffle came down, regardless of victory or defeat, and each was separated. The Ming generals returned to the military formation, and the Liao generals returned to the city.
Yang Peng ordered the army to retreat and camp, and the Ming army slowly retreated for more than ten miles, relying on the Daling River to set up a camp, stretching for dozens of miles.
Xiao Gan did not leave to discuss with the generals how to deal with it, and Xiao Sali suggested: "The enemy army has just arrived, and it must be very tired tonight, so why don't you send troops to attack tonight!" Several generals chimed in. Xiao Gan shook his head and said, "No." Yang Peng and the eldest princess are both world-famous generals, what we can think of, they can naturally think of! The generals felt that Xiao Gan was reasonable, and couldn't help but nodded.
Xiao Gan looked at Xiao Sali and said, "To deal with them, you can't use tricks, you can only use stupid methods." Since they want to destroy us, we rely on the fortified cities of Xingzhong Province and their consumption! I am absolutely convinced that the final victory is ours! The crowd shouted.
Xiao Gan said to the generals: "The vigilance work must be done to the full!" Everyone must know that Da Ming is different from ordinary opponents, they are more cunning than foxes and more fierce than jackals! You must not be careless, when you are careless, it is the time that the Ming people have been waiting for for a long time! As soon as the Ming people seize the opportunity, they will attack with all their strength like a tiger pounced on food, and will never stop without killing the prey! We must not be careless, carelessness is suicide! "The generals will make a promise together." One more thing, no one should go to war without my orders! Otherwise, military law is merciless! Everyone's hearts sank, and they agreed in unison.
Daming stood on a hill in the barracks and looked at the brightly lit city in the distance, only to see that the lights on the head of the city illuminated the night sky into daylight, and under the reflection of the firelight, he saw the figure of the longing river endlessly.
"Big brother!" Behind him came the call of Ya Yin Guanyin.
Yang Peng retracted his gaze and turned around, only to see Ye Yu Guanyin and Ye Lu Hanyu in military uniforms coming, he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why haven't you rested yet?" Ye Yu Guanyin smiled: "Didn't the eldest brother not rest?" With that, the two girls had already walked to Yang Peng's side. Looking up at the city in the distance, Yelu Hanyu asked, "Big brother is thinking of an attack strategy?" ”
Yang Peng looked at the city in the distance and said: "The Khitan army in front of me is like a big turtle with its head and limbs retracted into the shell of a turtle, which makes me feel like I have nowhere to start!" ”
Ya Yu Guanyin smiled: "They are all scared by you, so as soon as they saw you leading the army to come violently, they quickly retreated!" ”
Yang Peng smiled, and then thought: "Brother Ye Hugh must have discovered the purpose of our army, but he did not divide troops to support, but continued to attack and advance according to the original plan, I am a little worried." Yelu Guanyin and Yelu Hanyu also showed worried looks, and Yelu Hanyu said: "The army left behind on the northern front feels a little thin!" Judging from the current performance of Gan Xiao Buli and Xiao Sali, they seem to have made up their minds to defend Xingzhong Mansion. With such a large number of troops defending Xingzhongfu, it is really not easy for our army to defeat them in a short time! I'm afraid that at this point, the northern front won't be able to withstand the onslaught of Yehugo! If the northern front is lost, the consequences will be too serious! ”
Yang Peng scolded with a smile: "With such a huge army, you are willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head, what a grandmother!" The two girls couldn't help but laugh.
Ya Yin Guanyin asked, "Big brother, do you want to give up your previous plan?" ”
Yang Peng frowned; "I'm a little undecided! Previously, we expected that the Eastern Route Army of the Liao State would attack us and fight in the wilderness. That way, we'll be able to use our greater combat power to destroy them in the wilderness. Even if it cannot be destroyed, it can also severely damage them. However, the development of the battle situation was beyond our expectations, and as soon as Xiao Gan Buli found out that our army was coming in a big way, he immediately turned around and retreated into Xingzhong Mansion, and our plan was completely defeated! Today, our army is coming to the city, and Xiao Gan will not leave or lead the army to fight, obviously he does not plan to compete with our army in the field, but only wants to rely on the city to defend it! Xiao Gan is not leaving, he wants to spend time with us here, so that Ye Hu Hugo can break through from the northern front all the way to capture Dading Mansion! If such a situation really occurs, we can only hurry up and break through to the south! ”
"If it is prudent, we should naturally change our original plan and immediately harvest troops and horses to hold the enemy. It's just that in this way, being invincible and undefeated is not in line with the character of the eldest brother! Big brother is definitely not this kind of person who likes to waste money with the enemy! ”
Yang Peng smiled and said loudly: "Well said! Let's attack Xingzhong Mansion with all our might! ”
The Great War finally broke out, and the Ming army began to storm Helongshan on the south bank of the Daling River next to Xingzhong Mansion. This and Longshan, the mountain is majestic and steep, the power is overwhelming, and now there are heavy troops stationed, and Xingzhong Mansion has become a corner. If the Ming army wants to seize Xingzhong Mansion, it must first seize Helongshan, otherwise the enemy army on Helongshan will continue to send troops to attack the flank of the Ming army, and the Ming army will not be able to attack the city with peace of mind.
However, the Helongshan mountain is steep, and the Khitan army on the mountain relies on the terrain advantage to stubbornly resist. Although the Ming soldiers were extremely brave, they attacked for a whole day, killing and wounding thousands of people, but did not make any progress. Yang Peng saw that the attack was ineffective, so he ordered the attack to be stopped. That night, Yang Peng convened the generals to discuss the strategy of capturing Helongshan. The generals expressed their opinions, and they all felt that the Helongshan Mountain was steep, and the strong attack not only suffered heavy losses, but also was difficult to achieve. However, Helongshan stretches for dozens of miles, the mountains are high and dense, presumably there are paths that the Khitan army does not know can go up to the mountain, if you can find such a path, you can send elites to attack the enemy from the mountain on the road, and at the same time the army is attacking head-on, under the internal and external attacks, the Khitan army is not difficult to be broken. Everyone was unanimous, so Yang Peng ordered Yelu Hanyu to send an urgent sergeant to the surrounding countryside to inquire about the news.
At the same time, the main army of the Ming Dynasty continued to challenge under the city of Xingzhongfu. The Khitan army troops never came out, but the Khitan army warriors went out of the city many times to confront the Ming warriors, and the two sides won and lost each other, and fought equally.
Just when the main army led by Yang Peng and Xiao Gan's inseparable East Road Army were in a stalemate in Xingzhong Mansion, the army of Ye Hu Hugo had already launched a fierce attack on the defense line of the Tuhe Ming army. The Khitan army troops took turns to fight, day and night constantly rushing to the opposite bank, although the Ming army made sufficient preparations before the battle, the entire defense line still seemed to be shaky under the continuous impact of the Khitan army. Whether or not they can hold on to the severe test of the military government army can be said to be the key to whether the entire Tuhe defense line can hold on.
However, there is a turbulent dark tide in Xingzhong Mansion. Those nobles who had already taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty saw that the Khitan army was counterattacking like a rainbow, and the situation of the Ming army seemed to be a little unfavorable, and their minds couldn't help but become active again. They are in contact with each other and are carrying out secret plots.
Yang Peng, who is far away in Xingzhong Mansion, doesn't know these things, and all his thoughts are now about how to capture Xingzhong Mansion. After a few days, the sergeants who had gone to investigate the path on Helongshan Mountain came back one after another. I heard about a lot of small roads, but after sending people to reconnoiter according to this information, they found that there were enemy troops on these small roads, and there was no way to sneak attack.
In the dead of night, Yang Peng has not slept yet, and with Yang Peng's free and easy, he can't be calm in the face of such a large-scale and far-reaching war.
Ye Yu Guanyin walked to Yang Peng's side, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry! It's a big deal to collect the army and return to Dading Mansion! ”
Yang Peng glanced at Ye Yu Guanyin and said with a smile: "Guanyin, you are very free and easy!" Ya Yu Guanyin smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to care too much about everything!" Just do what you have to do, and don't worry too much about the outcome! Yang Peng smiled and said, "If the result has already appeared, what's the use of wanting to care?" Ya Yu Guanyin smiled: "That's why you don't have to worry!" It's useless to bother anyway! Yang Peng sighed: "I really want to be like you, but I can't do it!" ”
Hearing only a sonorous sound, Ya Yu Guanyin actually pulled out his scimitar and opened the stance, saying, "Let's compare!" It's been a long time since we've competed, and I think it's much better than before, so I should be able to beat you a few more tricks! ”
Yang Peng smiled, the troubles in his heart disappeared for the time being, and said with a smile: "Really? Then big brother should give it a try! Then he clapped his hands, stretched out his right hand and hooked it towards Ya Yu Guanyin, and said, "Come on." ”
Ya Yu Guanyin said angrily: "What do you mean? Do you want to deal with me empty-handed? ”
Yang Peng smiled: "I don't want to cut my wife with a knife, it's better to be empty-handed." ”
Ya Yu Guanyin smiled, put the scimitar back into the scabbard, and said, "You don't use a knife, and I don't use a knife!" Before the words fell, Ya Yu Guanyin jumped up like a female leopard, and hit Yang Peng's chest with his right fist. Yang Peng laughed, rubbed his body up, and fought against Ye Yu Guanyin. The two sides fists and feet, the fight was very intense, Ye Yu Guanyin became more and more excited, the speed of his hands and feet became faster and faster, the sound of coquettish cheers was endless, the hair was flying to cover the delicate face, and the graceful posture was like a phoenix dancing for nine days. Yang Peng was secretly surprised while dismantling the trick with her: Guanyin's speed and strength really seemed to be much stronger than before!
The surrounding soldiers were very interested in seeing His Majesty and Niangniang competing, and they all gathered around, and one by one they were cheering for Ye Yu Guanyin.
The two fought more than 20 moves, without a win. At this moment, Yelu Hanyu rushed over, and when he saw that the two were fighting, he raised his voice angrily; "It's all stopped, and there are spies in return." Ye Yu Guanyin immediately jumped away, Yang Peng laughed and said: "Guanyin's fists and feet are much stronger than before!" Ya Yin Guanyin said proudly: "Of course! ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
