The Daming Iron Cavalry crashed into the middle of the Khitan army like a steel wave, as if a stronger tide slammed into the Khitan cavalry torrent, and in an instant, the Khitan cavalry turned on their backs. Xiao Sali saw that the enemy's ironclad heavy cavalry was fierce and difficult to resist, so he quickly led his subordinates out of the battle and ran back.

Xiao Gan led the main force straight towards the Ming army camp, swooping up, rolling like a tide.

Countless torches suddenly lit up in the camp, and in an instant, the sharp sound of breaking the sky filled my ears, but I saw countless black shadows flying every day, and the surging Khitan army wave stirred up countless ripples. The soldiers of the Khitan army immediately counterattacked, and there was another sharp whistling, and the soldiers of the Ming army in the camp also fell a lot.

Seeing that the Khitan army was rapidly approaching the camp, all of a sudden, a loud boom sounded. The Khitan army that rushed to the front only felt that the sky had fallen, and the whole person fell into the big pit that suddenly appeared under his feet. The Khitan soldiers who followed behind saw that the ground in front of them suddenly collapsed one by one, and the thousands of soldiers who rushed in front fell into the pit. They all stopped their footsteps, but the Khitan soldiers who were further behind didn't know the situation in front of them at all, and they were still roaring and charging excitedly, galloping and surging, and the huge force pushed many soldiers who had stopped their footsteps into the big pit. I saw that the pit was full of sharp piles, and all the Khitan soldiers who fell into the pit were pierced through their bodies by the sharp piles, and they were drenched in blood, and the scene was very terrifying. Hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops stopped, flustered, and didn't know what to do.

Knock knock ......! The sound of the Daming war drums suddenly rumbled and shook the earth. The Khitan soldiers were all shocked.

A bright light suddenly appeared on the left side, and I saw tens of thousands of Ming light cavalry rushing towards him. Xiao Gan saw that the situation was not good, and immediately divided all the cavalry to meet him.

The cavalry over there could withstand the Ming war cavalry, and an even more alarming roar suddenly came from the right side. Following the prestige, I saw that the black wave composed of the boundless Ming army was surging up.

Xiao Gan's complexion changed, and he hurriedly ordered the army to line up against the enemy. The regular army of the Khitan army reacted quite quickly, turned around and quickly began to line up, but the largest number of civilian troops were at a loss and became a mess!

Woo......! The sharp sound of arrow rain breaking through the sky suddenly came overwhelmingly! Xiao Gan's face changed, and he shouted: "Arrow attack!" Raise your shield! ”

The regular troops don't need Xiao Gan's order at all, they have already raised their shields and prepared to defend, but the huge number of civilian troops is still in a mess, in fact, they can't raise their shields even if they want to, because these militias are poorly equipped, only swords, guns, swords, halberds, and even armor where to equip shields!

In an instant, a dense rain of arrows fell suddenly, only a loud crackling sound was heard, the regular army was okay, but the civilian army was suffering heavy casualties!

The people's army was already flustered, and this time they were killed and injured by the enemy's dense rain of arrows, and they were terrified to the extreme, and many people threw away their weapons and turned to flee, which immediately affected others, and in an instant all the people's troops turned around and fled for their lives, rushing and surging, like a tide. Before the Ming army arrived, the regular troops of the Khitan army were swept away by the wave of their own people's army. Seeing this scene, Xiao Gan had nothing to do, so he had to order a retreat into the city. The Ming army pursued and killed, but because the cavalry troops were resisted by the Khitan army's war horses, and the Khitan army fled with their armor abandoned, the Ming army could not catch up with them at all, and only killed some unlucky people who fell behind. Seeing the rout of their own army, the Khitan army cavalry was flustered and had no intention of fighting, so they quickly broke away from the battle and fled into the city.

Xiao Gan fled back to the city, saw Xiao Sali drinking, and asked urgently, "Are you back like this?" Xiao Sali said with a look of shame: "The last general led the cavalry to rescue the mountain, but was ambushed by the Ming army on the way, suffered heavy losses, and was forced to retreat!" Xiao Gan sighed, and said depressed and angry: "Yang Peng and the eldest princess have counted us all thoroughly, we are not their opponents!" ”

"Marshal, the enemy is coming!" Suddenly there was a scream from the top of the city.

Xiao Gan and Xiao Sa were both taken aback, and hurriedly rushed to the city. Looking out of the city, I saw the tide of soldiers rolling outside the city, the banners were surging, and countless torches illuminated the night into day, as if there were countless soldiers and horses in the boundless world. Xiao Gan and the others couldn't help but turn pale and their minds went blank.

Boom boom! Suddenly, there was a loud explosion on Helong Mountain! Xiao Gan and the others came back to their senses in shock, and turned their heads to look at the mountain! I saw that the fire on the top of the mountain was blazing and illuminating most of the night sky, and the Ming army, which had been attacking the mountain all the way not long ago, seemed to be rapidly retreating down the mountain!

But Xiao Gan and the others were not happy at all, because the situation in front of them was not that the Ming army could not attack and was forced to push down, it was clear that the fire on the mountain was too fierce, and the Ming army attacking the mountain was worried that it would be affected by the fire, so they retreated.

The sound of the battle gradually calmed down, replaced by the crackling of the flames, the wind fueled the fire, the fire borrowed the wind, roared violently, and the terrible screams were endless.

The Ming army outside the city soon retreated and did not launch a siege.

The fire on Helong Mountain burned all night, and it was gradually extinguished the next day. More than a dozen horses rushed to the city gate, and the leader looked up and shouted: "I'm Xiao Da Buye, open the city gate quickly!" Seeing that Xiao Da Buye had returned, the captain of the city gate was shocked and hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate, and at the same time sent someone to report that Xiao Gan was leaving and Xiao Sa was drinking.

Xiao Gan and Xiao Sa were stunned when they saw Xiao Da Buye. Xiao Dabuye looked embarrassed, his face was so black that it seemed to be smeared with thick charcoal ash, most of his beard hair was burned, his armor and cloak were in tatters, some were burned, some were cut by knives and guns, the two leather boots on his feet were actually torn to expose his toes, and his eyes were full of panic.

Xiao Dabuye saw the two of them, and hurriedly bowed: "Great handsome, great general!" ”

Xiao Gan came back to his senses, frowned, and asked angrily, "You lost Helongshan?" ”

Xiao Da Buye hurriedly said: "The last general has done his best!" ”

Xiao Gan stared at Xiao Da Buye and said coldly: "Do you know the consequences of your defeat? The loss of Helongshan caused Xingzhong Mansion to lose its outer barrier, and severely damaged the morale of the army, how to revive the morale of the army if you don't kill you! Come on! ”

When even two pro-soldiers came in.

Xiao Da Buye hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Dashuai, the last general has indeed done his best!" We have tens of thousands of horses, and only a few dozen of us have returned! Xiao Gan couldn't help but feel his heart move.

Xiao Sali pleaded for Xiao Da Buye: "Dashuai, you and I were defeated last night, and it is understandable that Xiao Da was defeated in the field." If he dies here, I'm afraid the army will be unconvincing! ”

Xiao Gan couldn't leave the battle situation last night, and felt that it was indeed no wonder that Xiao Da was not wild, and waved his hand at the two personal soldiers. The two pro-soldiers bowed and retreated.

Xiao Gan couldn't leave to look at Xiao Da Buye, and asked angrily, "What happened last night?" How did the Ming army get to the main peak? ”

Da Buye said hesitantly: "The last general, the last general doesn't know how they came up?" ”

Xiao Gan was furious and shouted, "How come you, as the main general, don't even know where the enemy came from!" ”

Xiao Da Buye was very embarrassed and defended: "The last general has blocked all the paths that can go up the mountain, and after receiving the order of the commander, he has increased the garrison and patrol forces. But last night, I don't know how those Ming troops were able to bypass the checkpoints and suddenly appear on the top of the mountain. Those hateful Ming people, as soon as they came up, set fire everywhere, the last general tried to lead the soldiers to fight back, but the soldiers were frightened by the fire burning everywhere, and actually blew up the camp and was not controlled at all! Eventually, the flames burned more and more over the entire mountaintop, and the last general had no choice but to escape from the spring path! ”

Xiao Gan and Xiao Sa looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while. Xiao Sali frowned and said, "How did these Ming people go up the mountain?" Could it be that they all fly? ”

Xiao Gan shook his head and said, "Flying is absolutely impossible!" Nine times out of ten, I think they found a way that we didn't know, so they went up to the mountain without even noticing! Xiao Sali felt that what he said made sense, nodded, and said in disbelief: "Could it be that they can be beaten by a path that our local generals don't know?" ”

Xiao Gan said: "Now there is only this one explanation. Didn't they look for a path a few days ago? It seems that they have really found it! Then he angrily scolded: "Damn! Which bastard the hell revealed that path to the enemy! Then he scolded in a puzzled manner: "Those local generals under our command are really rubbish! Why don't you know the path that the enemy has found! Xiao Sali and Xiao Da Buye were also depressed and annoyed, and they only felt a sense of depression in their chests, and there was nowhere to vent.

Xiao Gan reluctantly calmed himself down, and frowned: "He Longshan is lost, the problem is serious!" Xiao Sali frowned and nodded, and said: "Helongshan is the barrier of our Xingzhong Mansion, and its momentum is directly pressing Xingzhong Mansion, if the Ming army sets up cannons on Helongshan, we will be in big trouble!" Xiao Gan said worriedly: "I'm worried about this matter!" ”

A scout hurriedly rushed in and hurriedly reported: "Great commander, great general, the Ming army has already stationed a unit at the top of the mountain, and is transporting artillery to the mountain. Xiao Gan and Xiao Sa glanced at each other in horror.

Boom, boom! In the evening, there was a sudden earth-shattering noise on Helong Mountain. Almost at the same time, the houses in Xingzhong Mansion collapsed, the dust was flying, the screams and shouts were loud, the crowd ran in all directions, and for a while, the city of Xingzhong Mansion was in chaos. Xiao Gan and Xiao Sa climbed the city wall, looked towards Helong Mountain, and saw the firelight flickering on the top of the mountain from a distance, and couldn't help but change his complexion.

The top of the hill was constantly shelling the city, and the city was dusty and panicked.

Xiao Gan scolded angrily: "The Ming people are too despicable! ”

At this moment, a flash of fire flashed on the top of the mountain, and everyone in the city saw that more than a dozen black cannonballs were actually whistling towards their side. "It's not good, hide!" The crowd hurriedly scattered to hide. Almost at the same time, a dozen cannonballs fell, and in an instant the city was covered in dust, and several unlucky fellows were torn to shreds by the power of the cannonballs. However, Xiao Gan and Xiao Sa drank a few generals, but they were lucky enough to escape. A few people didn't dare to stay in the city any longer, so they hurried down.

The artillery fire on the top of the mountain fired indiscriminately everywhere in the city, and the direct damage to the Khitan army and civilians was not very large, but it greatly damaged the morale of the Khitan people mentally, and the Khitan people were panicked and worried, and many people just wanted to escape from the city.

Xiao Gan Buli and Xiao Sa Liyu and other generals gathered in a private house, but they didn't dare to stay in the official office, not long ago, a round of artillery fire in the Ming Dynasty wiped out the official office! Fortunately, Xiao Gan had already moved their office location at that time, otherwise, it was really unknown whether they would be able to survive that round of heavy artillery fire!

Xiao Sali said worriedly: "If it goes on like this, there is no need for the Ming army to attack at all, and we will collapse ourselves!" ”

Xiao Gan frowned tightly and didn't speak, he was in a mess in his heart now, and he didn't know what to do.

Xiao Sa said to Xiao Gan: "Dashuai, fortunately, the enemy still doesn't know where our grain and grass are placed, otherwise a round of artillery fire will go down, and the grain and grass will be destroyed, and this Xingzhong Mansion will not have to be guarded!" ”

Xiao Dabuye hurriedly said: "Then let's quickly send someone to move the grain and grass to a more hidden place and hide it." ”

Xiao Gan scolded angrily: "The enemy still doesn't know where the grain and grass are? If you run to transfer the grain and grass, won't the enemy find out where the grain and grass are! Xiao Da Buye only then thought that Helongshan was now in the hands of the Ming Army, and it was impossible for him to hide any big action from the eyes and ears of the Ming people, so he only felt depressed.

Xiao Sali suggested: "Dashuai, the situation is very unfavorable to us now, and it is difficult to continue to hold on, so it is better to give up Xingzhong Mansion." ”

Xiao Gan frowned and said, "Give up Xingzhong Mansion?" ”

Xiao Sali shouted: "Dashuai, we haven't been able to keep Helongshan, this Xingzhong Mansion will definitely not be able to hold it!" It's better to give up if it's trapped here! The Han people have a saying that is good, stay in the green mountains and are not afraid of no firewood! As long as our army is still there, we will always be able to make a comeback in the future! Several generals under Xiao Sali's command echoed one after another, but the other generals were silent.

Xiao Gan didn't leave and only felt in a dilemma, and frowned: "Your Majesty and I divided our troops to attack the Ming Dynasty in two ways, but now I take the initiative to give up, wouldn't it make Your Majesty's strategic attempt fall short!" ”

Xiao Sali hurriedly said: "Dashuai, it's not that you don't want to, but you can't!" Now that the war situation has developed to this point, our army can no longer hold Xingzhong Mansion, do you want to stay here and stare at being wiped out by the enemy? ”

Xiao Gan couldn't leave his eyes and shouted, "Shut up!" Although our army has lost some soldiers and horses, it is still strong, and with the strong city of Xingzhong Mansion as a support, it can definitely resist the attack of the Ming army! Don't let others be angry and destroy your own prestige, or I will deal with you for the crime of shaking the morale of the army! Xiao Sali was depressed, but he didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

Xiao Gan glanced at the generals and said, "All departments are still strictly guarding according to the previous orders of the commander, and anyone who dares to shake the morale of the army will be arrested immediately." "All the generals agreed together.

A dusty herald rushed in, and when he saw Xiao Gan not leaving, he immediately bowed down and said, "Handsome! ”

Xiao Gan couldn't help but see that the person who came was a close officer beside His Majesty, and he couldn't help but feel moved, and asked urgently: "How is the battle situation on Your Majesty's side?" The officer said with a happy face: "Your Majesty has specially ordered me to tell the marshal that the army led by Your Majesty has surrounded Dading Mansion and is attacking it, and I believe that it will be able to break through the city soon!" ”

Everyone was originally demoralized, but when they suddenly heard such news, they were stunned at first, and then they couldn't help but get excited, as if they had all been given a dose of chicken blood.

Xiao Gan asked excitedly, "Your Majesty has already attacked the city of Dadingfu?!" ”

The officer nodded, "Yes! Now, Matsuyama Pavilion, Matsuyama Castle, and Eunju have all been recovered by our army! The crowd cheered.

The officer continued: "Your Majesty is leading a large army to storm the Dading Mansion, and I believe that it will not be long before the Dading Mansion will be recovered. His Majesty sent a villain to give orders to the marshal and the general! ”

When everyone heard that His Majesty had an order, they immediately walked up to the officers, arranged them according to their ranks, and bowed together: "Welcome to Your Majesty's holy decree!" ”

The officer said, "I have brought your majesty's message." His Majesty ordered that Generalissimo Xiao Gan will not leave, and General Xiao Sa will leave to drink, and must defend Xingzhong Mansion to the death, so as to create an opportunity for the final victory! ”

Xiao Gan and Xiao Sa are separated from each other; "Obey Your Majesty's military orders!" Immediately, everyone stood up. Xiao Gan asked the officer; "I don't know what the situation in Dading Mansion is?" "The remnants of the Ming Dynasty have fled into Dading Mansion, and our army is besieging them on all sides."

Xiao Gan said with some concern: "The city of Dadingfu is strong, majestic and tall, and it is the most easy to defend and difficult to attack on Zhongjing Road!" Can Your Majesty break through in a short time? ”

The officer laughed: "Originally, it couldn't. However, it is also the Ming people themselves who go against the grain and seek their own death. Because they had previously persecuted the nobles and scholars of Dadingfu, the nobles and scholars in the city hated them to the core. Representatives of them had already come to see His Majesty and said that they would attack the city gates from within at the right time. At that time, our army will attack from the outside, and we will definitely be able to break through Dading Mansion in one fell swoop! ”

When Xiao Gan and the others heard that there was such a hidden situation, they couldn't help but feel relieved. Xiao Gan couldn't help but smile and said: "This is really God helping us Daliao!" Xiao Sa also smiled and said: "No matter how powerful the Ming Army is, it is just a person, not an immortal, in the face of such an attack that should be combined with the outside, the defeat is decided!" Xiao Gan said loudly: "I can't let Your Majesty down, I must defend Xingzhong Mansion to the death!" The generals howled.

Xiao Gan turned his head and shouted to Xiao Sali: "Immediately spread the good news to the whole city!" Xiao Sali said yes and immediately gave the order.

Soon after, the news of the invasion of Dading Mansion spread in the city. The morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Liao State, who were originally frightened and at a loss, was boosted, and the panic mood was greatly reduced in an instant. However, the soldiers and civilians of the Liao State could not completely relax their hearts, after all, the cannon mounted on Helong Mountain was like a sword of Damocles hanging above their heads.

In the big tent of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xiao looked at the flying pigeon biography he had just received, and the generals stood on both sides, all looking at Yang Peng.

Yang Peng put down the letter, raised his head and glanced at the generals, and said, "This news is not very good. Not only were our Tokawa defense lines lost, but even Matsuyamakan, Matsuyama Castle, and Enju were taken back by the enemy......

The generals were shocked when they heard this, and Gao Hu said in disbelief; "Why did the situation on that side suddenly take a turn for the worse?"

Yang Jing shouted: "Li Xu can't do it! I'll lead a troop of soldiers to help him! ”

Yang Peng glared and shouted: "Yang Jing shut up!" Yang Jing muttered depressedly: "Did I say something wrong again?" ”

Yang Peng said to the generals: "Everything started with the loss of Tuhe. We were mainly guarding the Tuhe with the military army, and we were able to resist the offensive of Yahu Hugo. However, with an elite cavalry, he secretly crossed the Tu River from a shoal unknown to us, and attacked our army from the flank. At the same time, the large forces of the Khitan army attacked from the front. Our army could not resist and was defeated. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Li Xu simply gave up the Songshan Pavilion and other three city passes, and shrank all his troops into Dading Mansion. ”

Yang Jing couldn't help but say: "These military government troops are really useless!" ”

Yang Peng waved his hand and said, "The military army is originally just civilians, and all aspects such as training equipment cannot be compared with our regular troops. In fact, their performance is not bad. Yang Jing pursed his lips, looking very disagreeable, but he didn't dare to openly oppose what the eldest brother said.

Gao Hu frowned and said: "Now that the situation in the west is worrying, do we still have to stick to the original strategy?" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Of course it doesn't change." I believe that Dading Mansion, under the guard of Li Xu and his Second Army, will definitely be able to hold out until we solve the Khitan army in front of us. Then he said to the generals: "There is no need to hide the situation in the west, tell everyone the situation in detail, and tell them that we must deal with the enemy army in front of us as soon as possible, and then return to the army to support the brothers who are defending Dading Mansion." "All the generals agreed together.

After the meeting was dismissed, Yalu Guanyin and Yelu Hanyu stayed. Yelu Hanyu asked, "Isn't the eldest brother really worried about Dading Mansion?" ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "It's definitely false to say that you don't worry about it at all." However, judging from the current situation, our army should be more superior. I believe that Li Xu can hold out until our army captures Xingzhong Mansion to support them. Ye Yu Guanyin said: "That's right, but any possible situation on the battlefield will happen, big brother, don't be too full!" Yang Peng smiled, "I know!" It's a big deal to lose Dading Mansion! But I think that's very unlikely! He glanced at the two girls, "Okay, it's not too early, you two should rest!" Then he smiled evilly: "Could it be that you two want to have a 'Double Phoenix Chisel Dragon' tonight!" ”

Yelu Guanyin laughed, looking very interested, but Yelu Hanyu was full of shame and infinite anger.

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