Han Chang, Li Yanqi, and Zhao Fenglai, who were covered in blood and embarrassment, knelt in front of Yang Peng, feeling uneasy, not knowing what His Majesty the Ming Emperor would do with him.

Yang Peng glanced at everyone, smiled slightly, and asked, "Do you know what a traitor is?" ”

The three of them jumped and didn't dare to make a sound.

Yang Peng said: "The so-called traitors are the Han people who work for other races, and the spies among the Han people are called traitors!" The three of you are just up to the mark! The three of them were shocked, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Yang Peng said: "Traitors deserve to die!" But traitors can also redeem themselves! You rebelled against the Khitans, not only atoning for your sins, but also making a lot of contributions to the Ming Dynasty! If you hadn't made such a big fuss among the Khitans, our army would not have been able to capture the Songshan Pavilion so smoothly! When the three of them heard Yang Peng's words, they not only said that the three of them were innocent but also meritorious, and they couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly bowed to thank them.

Yang Peng smiled: "Don't thank me, you saved yourself." If you do something wrong at the beginning, it's nothing, as long as you know that you can change your mistakes, you're still a good person. The three of you will be the generals of our Ming Army from now on, you don't have to have any worries, in our Ming Dynasty, as long as you make meritorious contributions, you will be rewarded accordingly. The three of them hurriedly thanked them again, then stood up and retreated to the end of the right column to stand.

Yang Peng said to the generals: "Leave 10,000 horses to guard the Songshan Pavilion, and the rest of the army will immediately go north to cover the enemy!" ”

All the generals agreed together, and their morale was like a rainbow.

Soon after, the Ming army left the Songshan Pavilion and went north, and Han Chang and the three of them acted with the army as the equivalent of the army.

Ye Yan Hongyan fled all the way north after the defeat of Songshan Pavilion, and tried to stop and stabilize his position many times, but he was defeated in all three battles, and even Fengzhou, Yikunzhou, Guangyi and other places fell one after another. After that, the remnants of the defeated army retreated into Raozhou, which was considered to stabilize their position. Fengzhou, Yikun Prefecture and Guangyi are all prefectures and counties south of Shangjing Road, and the fall of these prefectures and counties shows that the Ming Dynasty's troops have approached Shangjing. Raozhou, also called Changle, is about two hundred miles south of Shangjing, which can be said to be the gateway to the south of Shangjing.

The soldiers and horses of Ye Yu Hongyan retreated into Raozhou, and at this time, Ye Yu Sosuke, who was ordered by Ye Hu Ge to rush to the Matsuyama Pavilion to take command, met his own soldiers and horses. Looking at the defeated remnants of the army in front of him, Ye Yu Sofu was really at a loss, so he had to defend on the spot, and at the same time sent someone to fly to Ye Hu and ask Ye Hu Xiu Ge for instructions.

On his way to Gaozhou, he was taken aback when he suddenly received a report of defeat from the west. Knowing that Gaozhou was no longer defensible, he immediately ordered the army on the Gaozhou side to immediately abandon Gaozhou and Wu'an Prefecture and retreat into the Holy Prefecture. At this point, the Khitan defense line in the north of Zhongjing Road was completely collapsed. Najiang Shengzhou is located in the south of Shangjing Road, about 300 miles east of Raozhou, located in the east of the Xiliao River, and is an important gateway to the southeast of Shangjing.

After Ye Hugo gave the order, he did not rush to Gaozhou, but turned around one hundred and eighty degrees and entered the Descending Holy State.

A few days later, the troops guarding Gaozhou Wu'an Prefecture entered the Descending Holy Prefecture one after another. At this time, Brother Ye received a report from Ye Yu Zongsuke, and learned that the reason why the Songshan Pavilion suddenly fell was entirely because Ye Yu Hongyan and Da Lazy fell into the Ming Dynasty's counter-strategy, and they actually suspected that Han Chang's Han army was collaborating with the enemy, so they sent troops to encircle and suppress it, resulting in chaos in the battle in Chengguan. The Ming army took advantage of this opportunity to pounce on the city pass, and when the city pass defenders were still flustered, they naturally couldn't resist and were broken by the Ming army in one fell swoop. This defeat was not a crime of war, but a man-made disaster.

When he received the report from Sosuke Ya, he was furious and sent the royal army to Raoju to arrest the two.

Ye Yan Hongyan drank the sullen wine one by one, and regretted that he had decided to encircle and suppress Han Chang after listening to Xinda's lazy words, and as a result, the army was defeated and the city pass was lost, but he was afraid that His Majesty would not spare him.

At this moment, a personal soldier rushed in and reported: "My lord, General Da Lazy asks to see you." Ye Yan Hongyan was angry, and when he heard Da Lai's name, he said angrily: "No! Tell him how far and how far to roll! The soldiers were heartbroken, answered, and hurriedly ran out. Ye Yan Hongyan picked up a glass of wine and took a sip of it, and suddenly smashed it to the ground, and with a snap, the delicate porcelain wine glass was shattered.

Suddenly there was a noise outside, and Ye Yan Hongyan shouted angrily: "Why is it so noisy outside? ”

Immediately, I saw Da Lazy and his own soldiers pushing and shoving in, Ye Yan Hongyan's eyes glared, and he shouted angrily: "Okay, you Da Lazy, you still dare to come to see me!" ”

Da Lazy smiled: "I heard that the adults are in a bad mood, so I came to visit." ”

Ye Yan Hongyan said angrily: "I'm in a bad mood, it's not that I was killed by you!" Fuck, why did Lao Tzu listen to your nonsense and do it to Han Chang and them? ”

Da Lazy walked over to Ya Yan and sat down. Ye Yan waved his hand at his own soldiers, and the latter retreated.

Da lazy said: "My lord, look at that Han Chang drove straight in with the commander of the Ming army, how I slandered him!" Ye Yan snorted.

Da Lazy suddenly said with a solemn expression: "Do you know that the marshal has already sent a report to His Majesty?" ”

Ye Yan Hongyan's heart suddenly sudden, and he said angrily: "Isn't it normal for the marshal to report things to His Majesty?" ”

Da lazy said: "It's a normal thing for Dashuai, but it's not a good thing for us." I've heard that in his report, the Grand Marshal blamed us for all the blame for the fall of Matsuyamakan. ”

Ye Yu Hongyan frowned, and said a little angrily: "Ye Yu Zongfu is in a hurry to clear up the relationship with the defeat of the Songshan Pavilion!" ”

Da Lazy nodded and said, "That's it." If my estimation is correct, His Majesty's order to arrest us is already on its way. If you and I don't plan ahead, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape this catastrophe! ”

Ye Yan Hongyan couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly asked Da Lazy, "What do you have in mind?" ”

Da Lazy looked around, leaned in a little, and whispered: "My lord, Daming is so strong, the whole world will belong to Daming sooner or later, we might as well simply defect to Daming." Ye Yan Hongyan was startled and exclaimed, "You want me to betray Your Majesty!" ”

Da Lazy hurriedly made a silent gesture, lowered his voice and said, "Be quiet!" Ye Yan frowned and said, "I, how can I betray Your Majesty?" ”

Da lazy scoffed and said, "Brother Hue is not a good bird!" Don't forget how he got to the throne! Don't forget how the Lord Protector died! Why should we die for him! Ye Yan Hongyan couldn't help but nodded. Da Lazy continued: "The Ming Emperor is different, we have never heard of the Ming Emperor's indiscriminate attribution of ministers and generals!" When we arrived in the Ming Dynasty, as long as we made military achievements, the Ming Emperor would naturally reward us for meritorious deeds and never treat us badly! Besides, there is the eldest princess as the concubine of Daming, so we don't have to worry about being looked down upon in Daming! ”

Ye Yan Hongyan couldn't help but be moved, but said worriedly: "You and I have no merit, just run to Daming like this, I'm afraid that it won't be reused!" It's just that it's not reused, if you still want to look at Han Chang's face, it will make people angry! ”

Da Lazy smiled: "I have already thought about this! Then he whispered in the ear of Ya Yan Hongyan. Ye Yan's eyes lit up, and he praised the clever plan, and then said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the soldiers won't follow us!" ”

Da Lazy said: "If it was before, this is indeed a problem. But now it's different, in order to get the money and food for the army, the common people have been harmed a lot! Do you think the soldiers will finally be like before? As long as we talk to the soldiers, the soldiers will definitely follow us! ”

Ye Yan Hongyan was excited, and hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, then without further ado, let's hurry up!" Da Lazy hurriedly said: "That's what I mean!" Immediately, he discussed the details with Ye Yan Hongyan.

Early the next morning, Sosuke Yari, who was washing, received a report from his own soldiers: "Marshal, Lord Yayu Hongyan and General Da Lazy sent a letter. ”

Ye Yu Zongfu was surprised, and when he turned out the letter, he took out the letter and read it, and couldn't help but say in surprise: "They actually want to lead the army to raid the Ming army to atone for their sins?!" After a pause, he hurriedly said to his own soldiers: "You go and catch up with them and invite them back!" Tell them that the commander was very impressed by their loyalty, but they should not sacrifice so rashly, and ask them to come back at once! Otherwise, how can Ben Shuai go to explain to His Majesty? The soldiers answered and ran down.

As soon as the front foot of the personal soldiers left, a city gate captain rushed in on the back foot and hurriedly reported: "Great marshal, Lord Ye Yan Hongyan and General Da Lazy led more than 30,000 troops out of the city, saying that they were going to attack the enemy camp!" ”

Ye Yu Sosuke said: "I already know about this. Go down. The lieutenant replied and retreated.

Not long after, the personal soldier sent by Ye Yu Zongfu rushed back and reported: "Great Marshal, Lord Ye Yu Hongyan and General Da Lazy refuse to come back, and they will definitely go to raid the Daming camp!" When Sosuke heard this, he couldn't help but scold: "These two bastards! It doesn't matter if they die, I'm afraid that this defeat will be blamed on my head! Although I was very dissatisfied, but the matter had come to this point, there was nothing to be done, and it was worth letting them go.

However, in the evening, another scout came with the news that Ye Yan Hongyan and Da Lazy led their soldiers and horses not to the south to the camp of the Ming army, but turned west to Da Shui Bo, three hundred miles to the west. This Dashuibo is a lake, located in the west of Raozhou 300 miles, not only the abundant water and grass has always been one of the main areas of the northern dynasty horse herding, but also the current Shangjing periphery defense of the west of the throat rush, now there are 20,000 soldiers and horses responsible for defending this place. Ye Yu Sosuke really couldn't understand what Ye Yu Hongyan and Da Lazy were going to lead the soldiers and horses to Da Shui Bo for? There was no Ming Army in that direction, looking for the Ming Army to do it desperately, what to do there?

Just when Ye Yu Zongfu was puzzled by Da Lazy Ye Yan Hongyan's actions, the scout came to report: "Da Shuai, the Ming forward troops have arrived outside the city!" ”

Sosuke was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "How many men and horses are there in the enemy army?" "About twenty or thirty thousand cavalry!"

When Sosuke heard this number, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then secretly thought: "The enemy army only has 20,000 or 30,000 horsemen, and the large army has not yet arrived, so I simply took the opportunity to go out and annihilate this enemy advance first, so as to frustrate their spirit!" As soon as he thought of this, he immediately issued an order to assemble 50,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry, and then he personally led the 110,000 troops out of the city.

Seeing that the Ming Dynasty's 20,000 or 30,000 war cavalry was deployed not far in front, he immediately ignored the 3721 wave of the army to kill, the cavalry was in front, the infantry army was behind, and it was surging like a tide! The Ming War Cavalry also launched and came head-on! In the blink of an eye, the armies of both sides slammed into each other and a scuffle began. I saw the light of swords and swords, and the soldiers on both sides turned on their horses, screaming and roaring, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was the loud sound of swords and guns.

Although the Ming Dynasty cavalry is strong, after all, the tigers can't stand the wolves, and it didn't take long for the situation of the Ming army to look bad.

The Ming war cavalry quickly turned around one hundred and eighty degrees, broke away from the battle, and ran down. The morale of the Khitan army was like a rainbow, and when they saw the Ming army fleeing, they were willing to stop there, and pursued them under the leadership of Ye Yu Zongfu.

Unconsciously, the army chased to a clearing between two or three, but lost the trace of the Ming army.

Suddenly, drums and horns roared all around. The Khitan soldiers were taken aback, and they saw countless banners appearing in the woods on the mountains on both sides, and the figures were longing, as if there were countless people and horses. At this moment, in the mountains and forests on both sides, dense arrows flew out like locusts, and the Khitan soldiers were caught off guard and fell to the ground one after another, and the screams rang out! Ye Yu Sosuke hurriedly shouted, "Retreat! Hurry back! The Khitan army hurriedly retreated outside, scrambling, trampling on each other, and making a mess.

Before the army had withdrawn, the Ming war horse, which had disappeared just now, suddenly appeared in front of it, and galloped towards it! Crashed into the middle of the Khitan army and brandished swords and guns to kill, and for a while, I saw blood flying in the middle of the Khitan army! The Khitan soldiers hurriedly met the battle, but where could they resist, and under the heavy casualties, they were pushed back by the surging Ming war horses, and the Khitan army was even more chaotic!

At this moment, there was a loud shout in the mountains and forests on both sides, and tens of thousands of Ming infantry troops rushed down from the mountains on both sides, rushing into the middle of the Khitan army like a mountain torrent! I saw that the Ming warriors were bold and indomitable, and the Khitan army was already flustered, where could it withstand tens of thousands of Ming infantry troops rushing and killing so wildly! Immediately, they couldn't resist it anymore, and the army collapsed! The rout, you push me and rush to escape, and the Da Ming infantry is mercilessly killing behind! Blood is flying all over the sky, and there are more and more corpses!

The Khitan army finally escaped to an open place, and suddenly, another Ming war cavalry actually killed from one side, people like tigers and horses, galloping and killing, ruthless! When the Khitan army boarded, it was rushed by this Ming war cavalry, and all the Khitan soldiers ran around like headless flies! The Khitan soldiers ran for their lives in the wasteland, and the Ming army chased and killed everywhere, killing the corpses of the Khitan soldiers all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river!

……

Sosuke managed to escape back into the city. Frightened, he suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the city, and in a panic, he hurriedly ordered the city gates on all sides to be strictly guarded and no one was allowed to fight, and he hurriedly ran up the south city wall. Looking outside the city, I saw nearly 100,000 Ming troops gathered under the city, waving flags and shouting, shouting challenges, and I only felt extremely shocked.

Immediately, I saw tens of millions of Ming infantry troops spitting out from the Ming army's array, and they were surging with simple ladders.

Ye Yu Sosuke was shocked and shouted urgently: "The enemy is coming! Get ready for battle! "The armies hurried to get ready, and the mood was terrified.

The Ming army swooped down on the city, relying on the simple ladder to climb the city, and the intensity of the offensive made the Khitan soldiers feel great pressure! The Khitan soldiers desperately resisted, and the city fell into bloody battles from time to time! The Ming soldiers who rushed to the city slaughtered like a tiger into a flock of sheep, flesh and blood flew sideways, corpses accumulated, and the Ming soldiers vowed to tear apart the enemy's defense line one after another!

Just when the Khitan army was struggling to resist, an alarm suddenly came from the Xicheng side. Sosuke Yari, who was overseing the bloody battle of the army, was taken aback and hurriedly sent someone to investigate the situation. Soon after, the people sent returned and reported to Ya Yu Sosuke in a hurry: "Great commander, the enemy cavalry has suddenly rushed from the western city and has rushed to the head of the city, and our army is fighting a bloody battle with it!" Sosuke was taken aback and quickly ordered all the remaining reserves to go to reinforce Nishijo. At the same time, the Ming cavalry in the west was using the hook to continuously climb the city wall to join the bloody battle at the head of the city, and the corpses were flying everywhere on the city, and the two sides were inseparable.

After receiving the order of Ye Yu Sosuke, the reserve team immediately rushed to the west city wall to counterattack the Ming army that attacked the head of the city, and the battle situation gradually became unfavorable to the Ming army.

The soldiers of both sides fought endlessly on the west and south city walls, and the Ming army followed one after another, and the fierce offensive showed no signs of weakening, while the Khitan army tried its best to resist. There was a bloody battle on the top of the city, and the corpses under the walls were already piled up.

Knock knock knock...... Suddenly, there was a rapid drum beat on the eastern wall. Sosuke was taken aback, and even though he was about to send people to support the eastern city wall, he found that all the reserves had already been used, and there were no more soldiers to send! Sosuke only felt overwhelmed.

A moment later, an urgent report came from the east city wall that the Ming army had broken through the city gate!

Shocked, he immediately ordered the army to immediately abandon the city and retreat to Shangjing. The Khitan soldiers were already unable to resist, and as soon as this order was issued, the entire Khitan army was defeated, and the cavalry and infantry scrambled to escape from the north gate that had not yet been attacked. Immediately, the Ming army poured into Raozhou City from the east, south and west. Yang Peng left all the military government troops, and he led the main force to sweep north through Raozhou City without any stops. Ye Yu Zongfu gathered several routs and tried to resist the Ming army, but he was defeated in four battles and four defeats, and the remnants of the defeated army rushed towards Shangjing.

A few days later, the Ming army approached the capital.

When the officials and people in Shangjing heard the sirens and earth-shattering sounds of killing coming from outside the city, they woke up like they had just woken up from a dream, and they were terrified as if they were something.

Sosuke led 40,000 or 50,000 remnants of the defeated army and retreated into Shangjing, frightened. Xiao Zonghan, who was left behind, immediately summoned Ye Yu Zongsuke, and asked angrily and nervously, "Ye Yu Zongfu, what is going on?" The Manchu ministers and nobles also looked at Ya Yu Sosuke, waiting for him to give an explanation.

Ye Yu Zongfu couldn't help but sigh and said, "The Ming Army is too strong! Our army is no match for them at all! Our army was defeated and lost, and only 40,000 or 50,000 remnants of the defeated army retreated! ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then reprimanded Ye Yu Zongfu one after another, saying that his incompetence in commanding the army would lead to the loss of troops and let the Ming army advance to the upper capital, which is really a crime! Everyone vented their panic and anger on the head of Sosuke Yari! Ye Yu Sosuke was not a submissive lord, and the abuse of everyone aroused his evil fire, and he scolded sharply: "You waste, what is the use of saying such nonsense!" If it weren't for Lao Tzu, I'm afraid that the capital would have fallen a long time ago! Everyone was photographed by his momentum, and couldn't help but stop scolding, and the scene fell silent. Immediately, all the civil and military officers shouted and scolded even more excitedly, and the court of the Great Liao Empire turned into a noisy vegetable market.

Xiao Zonghan was greatly annoyed and shouted: "Shut up!" After shouting several times, the noisy court gradually quieted down.

Xiao Zonghan glanced at the angry Zhongwen Wu, and said, "Whether Ye Yu Zonghan is guilty or not, and how to deal with it, is not something we can judge, it must be decided by His Majesty!" The top priority is how to keep Shangjing! The civil and military forces whispered, and everyone looked depressed, obviously not holding out much hope for holding Shangjing.

Xiao Wei Jinglun said: "Today's Shangjing has only seventy or eighty thousand defenders, and the morale is low, how can it resist the fierce Ming army?" ”

Zhang Chang said: "Now I have to send all the people to defend the city together!" As long as you hold on until Your Majesty's army returns, you should be able to get through the crisis! The crowd whispered. Xiao Zonghan thought for a while, and saw that the ministers had no better ideas, so he raised his voice and said, "Just follow the Prime Minister's suggestion." Linhuang Prefect! ”

A short, sturdy, dark-skinned, and fierce middle-aged man immediately stepped out of the ranks, bowed down and said, "The lower official is here!" ”

Xiao Zonghan said: "The matter of requisitioning and distributing the people will be left to you." I will give you only three days, and within three days I must gather all the people of the city to me for calling. The middle-aged man bowed and promised. Why was the matter of requisitioning the people in the city handed over to the prefect of Linhuang to do? It turns out that Shangjing is also called Linhuang Mansion, and the Linhuang prefect is a local magistrate, so the matter of levying and issuing the people to defend the city will naturally be handed over to him to do.

Just when Yang Peng was in full swing on the northern front, the army of the middle line led by Gao Hu had already captured Qianzhou and Xuanzhou one after another, and Xiao Gan Buli led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat into Shuangshan. The army of the southern front led by Yang Jiumei once again defeated Xiao Tiehegan and Xiao Luye's troops in the Yonghe area, and the remnants of the Khitan army fled to Jinzhou. The Ming army followed, and Xiao Mu, the prefect of Jinzhou, secretly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, so on a dark and windy night, the prefect of Jinzhou opened the city gate, and the Ming army immediately rushed in. The Khitan army was still asleep, and was killed countless times, and the hasty emperor who escaped fled to Haibei Prefecture on Tokyo Road.

His gaze turned to the outside of Shangjing City. The Ming army broke the Liao army along the way, and immediately took advantage of the momentum of successive victories to pounce on the city. Shangjing was crumbling and precarious, but in the end they held it out.

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