Chapter 877, Prairie Turmoil
Then there was a noisy fight, and then Yelu Hanyu's voice rang out: "Big brother, why are you so interested, aren't you worried about the war situation in Mongolia?" Yikes! Suddenly, there was an exclamation, like a cry. Then came Yang Peng's panting: "Worry about a fart!" The main forces of the Khitan army are all pinned down here, and Yang Yanzhao and they will definitely be able to attack the Mongolian region like a bamboo! Then there was a burst of exclamations and gasps.
Eyes turn to the Mongolian region. I met with nearly 200,000 troops to fight with the Ming army under the city of Victoria, the two sides fought three battles, I answered the defeat in successive battles, retreated into the city of Victoria, Yang Yanzhao and Duan Zhixian immediately waved the army to surround the city of Victoria.
I replied to call all the generals and said: "The enemy army has won successive battles, and it must be negligent, and tonight I will lead the army out of the city to attack the camp, and I will definitely defeat them in one fell swoop!" The generals chimed in.
That night, the stars and moon were dark, and I took advantage of the good weather to lead 30,000 elites out of the city secretly. The army covered near the Ming army camp. Before the attack was launched, the sound of sudden killing around was a fire and candlelight, the Ming infantry on the left fired a dense rain of arrows, shooting the Khitan soldiers on their backs, and the Ming war cavalry on the right smashed into the drums under the leadership of a double-hammered general, rushed forward, the Khitan army could not resist at all, and was killed to the point of staggering corpses and blood flying. I replied that the situation was not good, so I hurriedly turned around and fled for my life, and the Khitan soldiers also ran away in embarrassment regardless of their lives. The Ming army chased and killed at the end of the ranks, and killed the Khitan army corpses everywhere! I answered in a panic and fled into the city, checked the damage, and found that less than half of the 30,000 elites brought out had returned.
I suffered such a big loss, so I naturally didn't dare to fight anymore, so I retreated in the city to defend. At this moment, the 200,000 army led by Cao Jun also came to the city of Victoria and was stationed outside the eastern city. After I learned of this situation, I was terrified, and hurriedly sent scouts out of the city to investigate the situation in Zhenzhou, Fangzhou and other places, and soon got a reward. Zhenzhou was captured by the Ming army, and the Khitan prefect of Fangzhou surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
Alta and the others were terrified, and Alta kept sending messengers to ask for help, but the answers they received were all to ask him to hold on. The soldiers and civilians in the city were also panicked, and the rumors that the Ming army was going to slaughter the city after breaking the city spread very loudly, and hundreds of people and nobles crowded at the city gate to escape from the city. I replied that at this time, I naturally did not dare to open the city gate, and was extremely troubled by the nobles and people in the city, so I simply sent troops to drive it away.
Just when there was a lot of trouble in the city, the terrifying sound of the Ming war drums suddenly came from outside the city. The originally noisy city immediately quieted down, and then the people and nobles who were still making noise about leaving the city just now rushed home, only to see chickens and dogs jumping on the streets and alleys. People rushed back to their homes, and quickly closed the doors, and in an instant, not even a single ghost shadow could be seen in the streets and alleys, and became unusually quiet.
I answered the city wall in a hurry, looked out of the city, and saw the Ming army slowly approaching, the army is like a mountain, the flag is like a cloud, the sword and gun are like a forest, the cold light and the snow remain, the army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people, there is no noise, only the rumbling footsteps and the sonorous sound of the armor rubbing. My face changed, and I urgently ordered the armies to prepare for battle.
The Ming army lined up outside the city, and a fierce general armed with a double hammer rode out between the two armies, shouting: "I am Yang Gui, the general of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to fight to the death with me!" ”
When the Khitan soldiers heard that it was the legendary Yang Gui, everyone looked horrified.
I quickly turned his head to look at the generals around him, and asked eagerly, "Which of you can fight?" The generals looked at each other, and they all had fearful faces, and they did not dare to answer.
Suddenly, a slender man with a wolf body and a badger shape flashed out of the crowd, and said proudly: "I don't believe that Yang Gui is really as powerful as the legend!" I'm going to cut off his head! ”
When I replied that it was Malut, the strongest general under his command, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately encouraged: "If you can behead Yang Gui, I will guarantee to Your Majesty that you will be the deputy governor of Mongolia." Marut thanked him for his joy, and went down with his long knife. When the generals heard my promise, they did not regret it, and felt that if they could become the deputy governor of Mongolia, then they could still take this risk. That Yue Yun may not be powerful at all, maybe he can take care of him in two or three clicks.
The city gate opened, and Ma Lute rode out with a long knife, until he was in front of Yue Yun, reined in the horse, crossed the saddle, looked at Yang Gui, and said proudly: "I am Ma Lute, the general of the Liao army, and I want to take your head today!" ”
Yang Gui was not good at words, so he only snorted and said, "Come on!" As he spoke, he urged his horse to charge towards Marut. Seeing this, Marut lifted the long knife in his right hand and clamped the horse's belly between his legs, the horse had already communicated with him, and immediately burst out of his hooves and went straight to Yang Gui.
The war drums of both sides thundered, and the shouts rang out like the tide of the sea.
In the blink of an eye, the two horses intersected, and Marut shouted loudly, waving the long knife with both hands, and swept straight towards Yang Gui's neck. Almost at the same time, Yang Gui raised the copper hammer with his left hand, and happened to hold the long knife that the other party slashed with both hands, and there was a loud bang! Marut only felt a huge force rushing from the knife, and his hands couldn't be controlled, and he flung the long knife to the side! Marut didn't expect the other party's strength to be so terrifying, and he couldn't help but be taken aback! At this moment, I saw a black shadow rising in front of me, the wind was whistling, and before I could react, I was hit in the head by the copper hammer of the opponent's right hand, and my head exploded like a watermelon, and the flesh and blood flew sideways!
The two horses staggered past, and Marut, whose head was gone, shook his horse and dismounted.
The war drums and shouts of the Khitan army stopped abruptly, and the soldiers of the Khitan army looked at Yang Gui with infinite horror and majesty with double hammers, while the Ming army was full of morale, and the shouts were wave after wave.
Yang Gui continued to shout challenges, but who would dare to fight after having seen the terrible Khitan soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!
Yang Yanzhao smiled and raised his voice: "The enemy doesn't dare to fight, come back!" ”
Yang Gui immediately turned his horse and ran back.
Yang Yanzhao raised his right hand, and the sound of war drums and horns sounded loudly. Immediately, Yang Yanzhao waved his hand forward, and the 10,000 attacking troops let out a roar, and the tide rushed out, holding countless siege equipment and rushing towards the enemy city.
In an instant, over the battlefield, the rain of arrows on both sides flew in a staggered manner. After a while, the Ming army rushed to the city wall, put the cloud ladder flying tower on the head of the city, and began to rush up. This Victorian city cannot be compared with the big city of the Central Plains, there is only a not very high city wall, there is no moat, so the Ming army can directly rush to the city wall and start to climb the city.
The soldiers of the Khitan army only felt that the Ming army was like a tiger like a wolf, and the offensive was unbelievably fierce, no matter how they launched arrows and threw rolling stones and trees, they could not contain the opponent's offensive like a wild wave! The Ming soldiers continued to climb the city, and the Khitan soldiers sacrificed their lives to fight back and fight desperately, but the situation on the city became more and more critical.
The fierce battle lasted all day, and the city was warned many times, and the danger was everywhere, but the Khitan soldiers finally persevered.
Early the next morning, Yang Yanzhao continued to wave the army to attack, the army stormed the west and south sides, the Ming soldiers continued to bravely climb the city, the battle was extremely tragic, the corpses on the city head accumulated, the corpses under the city wall piled up like a mountain, the soldiers on both sides were like killing red-eyed beasts and frantically waving their claws to tear each other's flesh and blood, blood and water flowed along the cracks in the wall, and the vicious battle did not stop at all! The offensive of the Ming army became more and more fierce, and the iron-blooded elite like a tiger seemed to be becoming more and more fierce and terrifying, while the momentum of the Khitan army gradually weakened, as if a group of fierce wolves were gradually exhausted. Seeing that the situation was not good, I personally led my own soldiers and reserves to support the western city wall, where the Ming Dynasty had the most fierce offensive, and fell into a boundless bloody battle.
At this moment, an alarm suddenly came from the east, which meant that the eastern city wall was also attacked by the Ming army.
I am fighting a bloody battle with the Ming army, and I can't take care of the east, besides, the Ming army in the east is a military army, and the attack power is limited, so I can't attack the east city, so I don't care about the east, just the overseer army to resist the Ming army in front of me.
Just when I was fighting with the Ming army that was constantly pouring into the city, I only felt that I couldn't kill it, a general stumbled over, and said with a worried face: "Oh no, Dudu, the enemy army has broken through the east gate and entered the city!" As if in response to his words, there was a sudden sound of rushing and killing in the east.
I was shocked and exclaimed, "This is impossible! With the military army of the Ming Dynasty, how could it be possible to break through the defense of Dongcheng, let alone in such a short time! The general said urgently: "It's not the military government, we were fooled!" The Ming army transferred an elite to the east, it was Duan Zhixian, and he personally led the Ming elite to attack the city! Our army was caught off guard, and they broke through the city defenses! ”
I replied angrily, and couldn't help but scold: "What a Yang Yanzhao, he is even more cunning than a fox on the grassland!" Then he said, "Don't panic! We haven't lost yet! Then he said to another general: "This is up to you!" The general hurriedly agreed. Immediately, I led my own soldiers down the city wall, gathered all the reserves totaling 60,000 people, and rushed towards the east city gate, trying to drive them out when the Ming army had just broken through the city gate.
The army surged eastward, and after a while, it met the elite of the Ming Dynasty led by Duan Zhixian on the street, and the two sides immediately rushed to each other and fought in a melee. When the brave meet on the narrow road, the brave wins, and the soldiers on both sides are sacrificing their lives to fight! Duan Zhixian wielded an iron horse lance and rushed into the Khitan army first, killing the enemy's flesh and blood, like a bloodthirsty monster! The Mo knife army is also brave, wielding the Mo knife and axe to slash straight up, although the Khitan army is also very brave, but they have been cut apart by the Mo knife and axe! Although the soldiers of the Khitan army sacrificed their lives and fought back desperately, they gradually couldn't support it!
Duan Zhixian brandished an iron Zen staff in the crowd to kill the enemy, only to see the tiger roaring again and again, flesh and blood flying, the Khitan soldiers whether they are soldiers or generals, no one can be one of them, and the Khitan soldiers are terrified and scattered! I saw that Duan Zhixian was fierce and abnormal, and the army couldn't resist it when he saw it, so he hurriedly mustered up the courage to wave his mace and greeted him!
I saw that I answered fiercely in front of Duan Zhixian, and smashed Duan Zhixian with a mace with both hands. Duan Zhixian was so good at killing that he didn't dodge or dodge in the face of the opponent's roaring mace, the tiger roared and the dragon soared, and the iron Zen staff in his hand smashed straight towards the opponent's head, the last to come, and the wind was whistling!
I didn't expect the other party to be so brave, and in a big shock, I didn't care about killing the other party, so I hurriedly dodged, and the iron Zen staff was close to Anda's cheek, and the strong wind swept my face painfully! Duan Zhixian stepped forward and kicked on my chest, I only felt as if he had been slammed by a ram, and the whole person flew backwards and rolled on the ground before stopping! At this time, the horror in my heart really can't be described by Da Ming!
The Khitan soldiers rushed to Duan Zhixian and tried to rescue him. Duan Zhixian shouted, the iron Zen staff in his hand opened and closed, and the strong wind howled, and when it hit the head of the Khitan army officer, his head exploded and his brain burst out, and when he smashed on the body of the Khitan army soldier, he flew out like a scarecrow! The tiger enters the flock, like entering the land of no one, this Zhixian is simply the god of death who comes to harvest human lives!
The Khitan soldiers were terrified, and at the same time, the Ming soldiers attacked more fiercely, killing the Khitan soldiers and killing the long street. The Khitan army could no longer resist and began to retreat, and in just a few moments, the Khitan army collapsed completely. The officers and soldiers rushed towards the city in panic, and the Ming army chased and killed them, until the corpses of the Khitan soldiers were piled up in the streets and alleys and the ditches were full of blood.
The Khitan army on the east gate was defeated, and the Khitan army on the west gate could not resist, and the Ming army broke through the city gate and rushed in. The Khitan army gathered at the gate of the city and tried to fight to the death, but was smashed into it by the Ming war cavalry, trampled with iron hooves, slashed with knives and guns, and killed the Khitan soldiers and soldiers in chaos! Everyone has no intention of fighting, and they have thrown away their armor and turned to flee for their lives! The Ming army surged in from the city gate, chasing and killing the Khitan army in all directions!
I replied that when I saw the Ming army entering the city in a big way, my eyes were confused. Hearing the anxious call of the general next to him, he came back to his senses and said urgently: "Hurry up!" Then he led the remnants of the defeated army and ran towards the north gate.
The North City Gate was not attacked by the Ming Army, and tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated soldiers poured out of the city from the North City Gate and fled straight to the north. The soldiers of the Khitan army fled in a panic, just trying to escape to a safe place as soon as possible, and tens of thousands of defeated soldiers fled all over the mountains and fields, and there was chaos.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of a cannon on the side, and the fleeing Khitan soldiers were startled. Immediately, I saw the fierce general Yang Gui leading nearly 10,000 battle horses rushing from one side.
The soldiers of the Khitan army were terrified, and before they could engage in the battle, they completely fried the pot and fled in all directions! I had the intention to resist, but the army was broken, and he had no choice but to hurry his horse and gallop towards the north.
The Ming war cavalry rushed into the middle of the Khitan soldiers, and it was another big killing, and the Khitan soldiers were killed all over the field! Less than half of the lucky Khitan soldiers escaped this section!
Yang Gui did not defend it, but followed the direction of the rout to the north, crossed the Xue Lingge River, and once again defeated the headquarters of the Alta Division, which routed to the west.
Yang Gui wanted to pursue, but received an order from Yang Yanzhao, so he reined in his horse and returned to Victoria.
Yang Yanzhao defeated me in one go, annihilated most of the Khitan army, immediately arranged the defense matters, and the flying pigeon sent a message to Yang Peng, and at the same time asked for instructions on the next step.
Yang Peng received Yang Yanzhao's flying pigeon transmission in Dading Mansion, and learned that Yang Yanzhao's side was progressing smoothly, and he had completely defeated the Khitan army and occupied Victoria and other places, and couldn't help but smile and said to his wife: "I have long said that I don't have to worry about Yang Yanzhao's side, Yang Yanzhao has already defeated me and occupied Victoria and other places." The girls were originally worried about the battle situation on Yang Yanzhao's side, but when they heard the words of the eldest brother, they couldn't help but smile.
Yelu Hanyu said happily: "Great! In this way, our army can be regarded as a complete victory! All the women nodded, and Yang Erya frowned and said, "It's just that our losses are not small!" ”
Ya Kannon smiled: "Then what is it?" After all, he is not an ordinary opponent, and we must pay such a price. ”
Yang Peng nodded and said: "Yes, it doesn't matter if you lose more, as long as the gains are far greater than the losses, then it is a victory!" ”
Yelu Hanyu asked, "Big brother, this is the end of the big war, right?" ”
Yang Peng nodded and said, "Yes, that's the end of it." After this big battle, the consumption of money and food was huge, and the army suffered a lot of losses and was exhausted, so it was necessary to rest and recuperate. Then he thought about it and said, "The Mongolian region is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Datong Prefecture, and this side of Zhongjing Road is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Then he asked Yelu Hanyu and said, "Mei'er, I want you to send an order to the left-behind cabinet, have you sent it?" Yelu Hanyu hugged his fists and said: "I was about to tell the eldest brother that the order has been issued in accordance with the eldest brother's order!" Yang Peng nodded and said, "Having occupied so many territories, we urgently need reliable people to manage them!" "It turned out that Yang Peng had ordered Yelu Hanyu to send an order to the left-behind cabinet, ordering the left-behind cabinet to immediately mobilize a group of students together with the university department to manage the newly occupied land.
Yang Peng and his entourage rode a horse to climb the Qijin Mountain, looking to the north, only to see thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, still endless. Yelu Hanyu couldn't help but say: "The Liao State still plays a role in thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and he doesn't know what year or month it will be completely destroyed!" Ye Yu Guanyin, who was immediately on the other side of Yang Peng, said angrily: "Yelu, do you hate us Khitans so much? Ya Yu Guanyin smiled: "I don't understand what you said, but it doesn't sound like a bad word." ”
Everyone smiled, and Yang Peng said, "Mei'er is complimenting you." Ye Yu Guanyin glanced at Yang Peng, "I don't believe it." It's okay if Hanyu doesn't scold me. Yelu Hanyu said angrily: "I say this as if I am very powerful!" Guanyin, don't sow discord! Ya Yin Guanyin smiled: "What is 'sowing discord'? Just look at the way you look and know it's not a good word. Yelu, you don't look like a Khitan, but like the daughter of a large Han family. ”
Yang Peng smiled: "That's right. Mei'er is in the Khitan royal family, and the customs and habits of the Khitan royal family have long been not like the grassland people, and there is no difference between them and the habits of the Central Plains royal family. ”
Yelu Hanyu looked at Yang Peng and asked, "Don't you like it?" ”
Yang Peng smiled, "What do you mean by not liking, I like it so much!" When Yelu Hanyu landed, Xia Fei's cheeks flew up, and he looked infinitely ashamed.
Ye Yu Guanyin said angrily: "Big brother only likes Yelu and doesn't like us!" Yang Jiumei and Yang Erya couldn't help but look at Yang Peng with resentment.
Yang Peng glared at Ye Yu Guanyin, and said angrily: "You will be funny!" Then he glanced at Yang Jiumei and Yang Erya, and said with a smile: "You are all good babies of the eldest brother, how can the eldest brother not like you!" The two girls blushed and couldn't hide their joy, while Ya Yu Guanyin smiled on the side.
Yang Erya glanced at the mountains and rivers in the north, and couldn't help but say, "I don't want to know how vast the earth is?" Is there still a country in the north of Liao? ”
Ya Yu Guanyin said: "There are several tribes in the north of the Liao Kingdom, but they are not considered countries. ”
Yang Peng said: "It won't be long before the north of the Liao Kingdom will reach the end of the earth. All the women showed surprise, and Yayu Guanyin asked curiously, "How does the eldest brother know?" I don't even know! Yang Peng smiled: "Because I am your husband!" The girls laughed, and Ya Kannon gave him an angry look.
When he received an urgent report from the Mongolian region, he couldn't help but be annoyed when he learned that Alberta had been defeated and that Victoria and other places had fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Thinking of the soldiers to recapture Victoria and other places, but he was pressed by the Ming army in front of him on the border, and he couldn't move at all.
At this moment, another military report came from the west, saying that the 400,000 Khorezm army had passed Jinshan. Jinshan is the Altai Mountains in the west of present-day Mongolia. Yelu Hugo couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately ordered the governor of Lou to take charge of the military affairs of the Mongolian region, and ordered me to come under the command of Lou and obey his orders. Lou Mu, one of the great generals of the Liao State, was one of the several generals left in the west by Yehu Hugo, and he led the army back to the aid of the Khwarazm army.
Soon after, good news came, but this time it was Zhang Chang from Shangjing. Zhang Chang reported to Ye Yu Hugo that he had raised two million loads of grain and grass and more than three million taels of silver, and had gathered more than 100,000 strong men. When he received Zhang Chang's report, he was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Zhang Chang to gather more than 100,000 strong men into an army, led by Da Lazy, and immediately went west to Mongolia, and together with the army of Xiao Lou's room, the Ming army recaptured the lost territory.
The order was issued, Xiao Loumur immediately bid farewell to Brother Ye Hugh, rushed back to Shangjing, and soon led a temporary patchwork of more than 100,000 people's troops out of Shangjing to the west.
It is said that after Xiao Loumur led an army of 400,000 Khorezm to cross Jinshan, he learned that Alta had been defeated, and Victoria and other core areas of Mongolia had all fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Xiao Lou did not dare to be careless, and quickly ordered the army to stop advancing, and stationed down with its back to Jinshan, and then sent a reconnaissance cavalry to investigate the movements and deployment of the Ming army, and second, to search for the rout of the army and his men.
Soon after, the news came, and I was found.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
