That night, the army was stationed on the shores of Magpie Lake. Karn and Jereil consulted for a long time, and the next morning the army was set out, and since the Norwegians and Danes volunteered, they marched with 30,000 men and horses of both countries, and the army marched in turn.

The Western Liao Tanma detected the movement of the Crusader army and immediately called the police. The Salan Fortress, which bore the brunt of the attack, immediately entered the highest state of combat readiness. This Saolan is said to be a fortress, in fact, it is just to add a city wall on the basis of the original town, in fact, it is not appropriate to say that the fortress is inappropriate, it can only be equivalent to the county level of the Central Plains. This Saolan fortress was originally occupied by Yelu Yilie, but because the Liao army was abandoned halfway and urgently withdrew to the country, the news of the Ming Dynasty's victory over the Liao army continued to come, and the king of Western Liao, Yelu Hongjun, took advantage of this opportunity to gather the Western Liao army to counterattack the rebels, Yelu Yilie and other unintentional wars, almost took the initiative to give up the territory of the west and the north of Hu Si Ear, so the territory originally occupied by the rebels, including Salan, was almost recovered by the Western Liao.

Now stationed in Saolan is a general Mordo under the command of Mills, the former general of Western Liao Hami, with 10,000 soldiers and horses, and sufficient grain and grass reserves. As soon as Mordo received the alarm from the west, he immediately moved all the inhabitants of the surrounding city into the city, and immediately closed the four gates and prepared for battle.

A few days later, 30,000 men and horses from the Crusaders, the Norwegian and Danish armies, arrived at the city. They found that there were only 10,000 defenders in the city, and seeing that the fortress of Salan was low, in order to win the first prize, but also to plunder the goods and women, the commanders of the crusaders of the two countries immediately attacked the city after a little discussion. The Norwegians attacked the northern city, while the Danish attacked the western city, and the battle lasted two days and was fierce. However, after all, the Danish and Norwegian armies lacked heavy equipment for siege, and the Western Liao army was not an Arabic with low combat effectiveness, so after two days, the Crusaders suffered a lot of losses, but did not make any progress.

Seeing that it was difficult to defeat Salam, the Crusaders stopped their attack, and on the third day, the Crusaders bypassed Salam and headed for Sadhara.

However, the city was stronger and the defenders were stronger, and the Norwegian and Danish armies were battled and bleeding again. The morale of the soldiers of the two countries dropped to a low point, and the commanders of the two countries only felt that it was almost impossible to rely on the strength of the two countries to penetrate deep into the Western Liao to reap the benefits, so they ordered the large army to stop advancing and camp on the spot, preparing to wait for the main force to come up, and then fight city by city.

That night, the campfires in the crusader camp flickered like stars, and everywhere there were many figures, and the sound of revelry kept coming.

King Andrew of Norway said to Duke Odin of Denmark: "Shall we have a party like this?" Wouldn't the Liao army come out and attack us? ”

Odin whispered in Andrew's ear. Andrew's eyes lit up, he smiled, and praised: "I didn't expect you to become so cunning!" Well, drink! As he spoke, he took a glass of wine and took a sip of it.

At this time, the general who guarded this deception was Ali Dali, one of the four great generals who guarded the tent. He was very angry when he saw the crusaders reveling in the barracks on the city wall, and immediately gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses and quietly went out of the city gates. Ali Dali personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses to sneak near the enemy's camp, and when he saw that the enemy army was reckless, it was almost like no one around, and immediately waved his army to attack. In an instant, the sound of killing was loud, and Ali Dali led 10,000 soldiers and horses to break through the camp gate and enter the camp. The crusaders who were reveling hurriedly ran away.

Seeing this scene, Ali Dali didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and hurriedly waved his army to chase and kill.

Woowoowoooo......oo Suddenly, a rapid trumpet sounded in all directions. Before Alidari could understand what was happening, numerous crusaders poured up from all directions, and immediately surrounded Alidari and his 10,000 men and horses. At this point, Ali Dali finally understood that he had fallen for the trick, and hurriedly waved his army to break through.

I saw arrows raining down from all directions, and the soldiers of the Western Liao fell to the ground one after another, and then the Crusader teams attacked fiercely in all directions, and committed suicide with a big sword! It's a scuffle, and the flesh and blood are flying, and the people are down! Alidari sacrificed his life in the conflict, and finally broke out of the siege and fled back to the city. Frightened, he looked at the soldiers around him, and was shocked to find that there were less than 1,000 soldiers and horses left in the attack!

At this moment, the drums outside the city shook the sky, and the shouts shook the ground, and the crusaders took the opportunity to storm the city! Alidari hurriedly ordered all the armies to go up to the city for defense. The crusaders slammed into the city with the might of a great victory, and the remnants of the Western Liao army struggled to resist.

At dawn, the Crusaders bravely climbed the southern city to tear open the gap, and then opened the city gates. The crusaders outside the city saw the gates wide open and immediately swung in. Alidari led the remnants of the army to fight the Crusaders in the streets, and the fierce battle lasted from the early morning until noon, and the streets and alleys of the city were still full of blood and ditches. The Western Liao army could no longer resist and completely collapsed, and the remnants of the defeated army fled from the east gate and ran away.

The crusaders seized countless grains and grasses and carried their morale at the Raida, and then they sent people to report the victory to the army, and continued to attack with their troops, aiming directly at Sailan.

Karn had just broken through Saulan when he received the good news from the Strikers, and the army was cleaning up the battlefield. Karn was very pleased, and when the news of the good news of the advance was reported to the whole army, the crusaders had just won a great victory, and then they heard that the advance had won the good news of the attack, and the morale was in full swing, and everyone only felt that the sweep of the whole of Western Liao was just around the corner! Karn ordered his 30,000 men and horses to guard Saulan to secure the retreating route, and then ordered the armies to rest and recuperate before continuing their march eastward.

The Norwegian and Danish armies entered the city of Selange and immediately launched an attack. The battle lasted a whole day from morning to night, with considerable losses but no progress was made.

And at this moment, I saw a Western Liao army coming from the east. Odin and Andrew were taken aback, and quickly ordered the armies to stop the attack and retreat into the camp.

Before he was ready to stop, he saw the Western Liao army coming all over the mountains and attacking the camp. The Crusaders relied on the barracks to resist desperately. It was already dark, but the battle showed no signs of stopping, and the Liao army continued to attack in all directions, one after another! The crusaders felt very struggling, desperately trying to block the gaps that were constantly broken by the Liao army, and panicked shouts rang out everywhere in the barracks, one after another. At this time, the Western Liao army, which was originally guarding Sailan, also went out of the city to join the battle, and the situation of the crusaders was even worse! It's like a village surrounded by huge waves that will be submerged at any moment!

The battle lasted all night, and the Liao army was very tired, as were the crusaders. I saw that the crusader camp was full of holes, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides were piled up in various gaps. The fierce battle continues, the Liao army is still charging with their lives on all sides, and the crusaders are mustering the last courage to resist desperately! Suddenly, a bright light shot from the east and shone on the face of Mills, the general of Western Liao. Mills was taken aback, and couldn't help but turn his head to look east, only to see that the sun had already shown a face in the sky, and the darkness was rapidly receding.

Mills frowned and ordered a reserve unit to join the battle.

This new force joined the battlefield, and the offensive of the Liao army seemed to immediately return to its original ferocity and wildness. Seeing that the crusader camp was crumbling and was about to be unable to support it.

But at this moment, a large army appeared in the western sky, and then a huge trumpet sound crossed the sky.

The soldiers of Xiliao were shocked when they suddenly saw such a scene, but the crusader soldiers who were in danger were overjoyed when they heard the sound of the horn and saw such a scene! They all mustered up the courage to fight back desperately, and the Liao army, which had originally rushed into the crusader camp, actually drove them out.

A loud rumbling sound came from the sky, and the earth seemed to shake, and I saw that the boundless white waves were rushing from the sky. Seeing that there was no chance, Mills hurriedly ordered the troops to stop fighting and retreat into the city. The Western Liao army immediately retreated and retreated into the city of Sailan.

A moment later, hundreds of thousands of crusaders and the horses of Jereil arrived, and the Norwegians and Danes, who had survived, could not help but cheer.

Mills retreated into the city of Selang, and ordered all the armies to defend themselves and prepare for battle. However, the Crusaders did not immediately attack the city, but set up camp around the city of Selan and rested.

Seeing that the enemy's army was huge, and that his own forces and the city of Selan were not enough to resist, Mills immediately sent his cronies out of the city at night, got out of the encirclement of the enemy's land, and rushed to the camp of Tarath to ask for help from Yeluzhong. Yeluzhong, friends who have read the previous article naturally know that he is the king of Dingbei in Western Liao, and now the army of Western Liao is mainly commanded by two people, one is Aliqi, and the other is Yeluzhong, the king of Dingbei. Aliqi is responsible for the defense of the north of the desert, and Yeluzhong is responsible for the defense of the south of the desert, and now Yeluzhong is leading 80,000 troops to sit in Tarasi, according to the plan specified by Yang Peng, these 80,000 soldiers and horses in Yeluzhong will wait for the opportunity to support the cities in the west.

Early the next morning, the prepared Crusaders began to attack the city, and for several days the city was in danger. However, the reinforcements in Jeruzhong never arrived, which made Mills anxious and confused.

However, the Crusader army, which was besieging Sailan, who had almost the upper hand, suddenly stopped attacking, collected their troops and returned to camp. Seeing this, Mills was puzzled, and immediately received a report from the scouts, learning that His Majesty the Ming Dynasty led 50,000 elite gods to bypass the crusader army in front and suddenly surrounded the fortress of Salan. The Crusaders must have received the news of Salam's urgency, so they hastily stopped their attack. Mills hurriedly ordered all the armies to prepare and go out of the city in pursuit as soon as the Crusaders retreated. Mills has already planned, no matter what, he will drag down the main force of the crusaders and buy time for Yang Peng to capture Salan!

The Crusaders hastily gathered their troops back to their camps, and Karn convened an emergency military council. Karn pointed at Saran and said anxiously, "How did the enemy bypass us and get to Saran?" Why haven't our scouts found the slightest trace? As he spoke, he looked at Jereil.

Yelu Yilie looked at the map and thought for a while, and suddenly realized, and hurriedly pointed to the desert in the north and said: "The Ming army must have passed through the desert!" Otherwise our scouts have no reason to be unaware! ”

Karn's gaze fell on the desert to the north, and he frowned and nodded.

Andrew said with palpitations: "This is the Ming Army, and it is also the elite of the Ming Dynasty led by the Ming Emperor himself, we must not be careless!" Many of the people present had suffered a big loss, and they couldn't help but nod when they heard this.

Karn thought for a moment and said, "Our biggest enemy in the Ming Army, we must destroy them first before we can sweep the Western Liao with peace of mind!" Then he said to some of the king's generals: "You lead your troops and horses to stay and monitor the Liao army." Everyone agreed. Karn then said to the other king's generals: "You will lead your troops and horses to return to Salan with me immediately to encircle and annihilate the Ming army!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

At the same time, the Ming army led by Yang Peng was storming Saolan. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are like tigers and wolves, and their fierceness and courage are terrifying; However, the Shinra soldiers are not inferior, relying on the city wall to resist desperately, and they will not let it be allowed initially! For two consecutive days, the casualties on both sides were equal, and although the Ming army rushed to the city many times, it failed to stand still.

The generals couldn't help frowning when they watched the fierce battle, although Yang Peng's expression was as usual, but he was also very anxious in his heart. In Yang Peng's grand plan, capturing Saulan can be said to be a crucial move. Yang Peng's plan is, in short, to lure you into the urn. Since it is to lead the king into the urn, whether or not it can be tied is the key battle for the final success or failure of the relationship, and whether or not it can be captured is whether it can be tied up. Once Salam was captured, the enemy's rear route would be cut off, and hundreds of thousands of crusaders and the rebels of Jeruiel would become turtles in the urn. At this time, there is no need to attack, only need to hold the surrounding points to prevent the enemy from breaking through, or it will not be long before the enemy army will lose its combat effectiveness because of the exhaustion of food and grass. However, if he could not succeed in capturing Saulan, then the direction of the war would be unpredictable, and I was afraid that it would become a stalemate, and the loss of soldiers and horses and money and food at that time was not a pleasing thing to the eye.

Unconsciously, it was getting late, and the attacking troops suffered a lot of losses, but the city in front of them was still immovable.

Yang Peng saw that it would be difficult to make any progress if he continued to fight, so he ordered the army to stop the attack and collect his troops and return to the camp.

In the big tent, all the generals asked for battle, and they wanted to personally lead the soldiers and horses to storm the city wall the next day. Yang Peng smiled and waved his hand, "It's not early, you all go down and rest." Tomorrow's business, tomorrow's talk. The generals looked at each other, and they all looked a little confused. They all bowed to Yang Peng, and Yuguan withdrew from the big tent, and in an instant, only Yang Peng and Yan Ji were left in the big tent.

Yan Ji couldn't help but said worriedly: "Big brother, I heard you say that the main force of the crusaders is coming to reinforce after receiving the news, and it will take about five days to arrive, we have already used up three days, can the remaining two days capture Saolan?" ”

Yang Peng said: "I originally expected that the opponent would only leave 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard Saolan, but I didn't expect that Karn to send 30,000 elite guards to guard Saolan. If it is 10,000 soldiers and horses, I think it will take Saulan in three days, but 30,000 soldiers and horses, hehe," Yang Peng shook his head and glanced at Yan Ji, "You have also seen that the enemy army is impenetrable, not to mention that there are only two days left, even if there are ten days and half a month, it may not be able to take it down, unless the cannon is brought up!" But the cannon can't be counted on for the time being! ”

Yan Ji couldn't help but be even more worried when she heard what her lover said, "Then, what should I do?" ”

Yang Peng smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry so much. It's a big deal to change the original plan, and there is no problem with our forces holding off the enemy. When Yan Ji heard this, she couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved.

Yang Peng scolded: "What I don't like the most is to fight with such a cautious enemy!" Then he thought: "It seems that there is no hope of taking Salan, and there is no need to fight tomorrow, so just retreat." Yan Ji didn't have any opinion.

Early the next morning, Yang Peng passed the order and prepared to evacuate.

At this moment, the scout came to report that he had found that the enemy's main force was only a day's journey away. This news surprised Yang Peng and the others, and Zhan Jinguo frowned: "I didn't expect the enemy's advance to be so fast!" Yang Peng's face was thoughtful. At this moment, another scout rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, a herald of the enemy army is running straight towards the city, and we have tried to intercept it but have not succeeded. ”

Yang Peng snorted and said, "You guys go down." The two scouts said yes and retreated. The generals looked at Yang Peng and waited for his instructions.

Yang Peng left his seat and paced back and forth in the big tent. Suddenly stopped, with a slight smile on his face, and then said to the generals: "We retreat, the sooner the better!" ”

The general who was left behind by Karn to guard Saran was named Quaid, and he was a wise general under Karn's command. Quaid defended Saolan for three days in a row, although the city was not lost, but the strong combat effectiveness of the Ming army and the fighting spirit of sacrificing life and death also deeply shocked this HRE general who was born in the Rhine nobles. Quaid feared that he would eventually lose his legacy, disgrace his family, and tarnish the glory of the Holy Roman Empire. This morning, Quaid was assigning tasks to his men when he received news from the commander's messenger that the army was already marching this way, and that the vanguard was less than a day's way away. Quaid couldn't help but be overjoyed, only to feel that he had finally overcome it.

The news spread throughout the army, and the city thundered with joy.

Soon after, the scouts reported that the Ming army outside the city was retreating in a hurry. When Quaid heard this, he immediately ran up the city wall and looked out of the city. Sure enough, I saw that the Ming army outside the city was retreating in a hurry. Quaid immediately judged that the other party must have discovered that his main force was about to arrive, and he was worried that he would be surrounded and annihilated, so he retreated in such a hurry. Quaid felt that this was a good opportunity, and immediately gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to pursue.

At this time, the rear team of the Ming army had just left the camp, and when they saw the Shenluo army rushing out of the city, they hurriedly rushed towards the desert in the northeast.

Quaid led his soldiers and horses in pursuit, only wanting to intercept a part of the Ming army. The soldiers and horses on both sides chased and fled, and before they knew it, the Shinra soldiers and horses chased the Ming army into a Gobi desert near the desert. The HRE army lost its trace of the Ming army here. Quaid was greatly depressed, and felt that it would be in vain to pursue him any longer, so he ordered the army to return to Salan.

But at this moment, the drum horn shook the sky, and a dense rain of arrows flew from all directions. The HRE army was defenseless, and when they boarded, they were shot on their backs and overturned, and they were killed and injured, and the scene was in a commotion.

Seeing that the surrounding heights were full of Ming crossbowmen, Quaid realized that he had fallen into a trap, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and urgently ordered his soldiers and horses to form a defensive formation and break through along the way they came. Although the HRE soldiers were ambushed, they were not confused, and when they heard Quaid's order, they immediately surrounded the surroundings with shields and formed a formation to break through along the way.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded. The HRE soldiers saw a Ming war horse rushing from the front, the smoke and dust were swinging, the iron hooves were like a tide, and the momentum was very amazing. Quaid did not dare to be careless, and quickly ordered his soldiers to stop advancing and resist on the spot. The HRE soldiers stopped, and the crossbowmen quickly fired arrows, only to see a dense array of arrows flying towards the tide of the Ming cavalry, which caused countless ripples when they landed, and the middle of the Ming war cavalry turned on his back. However, in an instant, the Daming War Cavalry regained the momentum of the charge just now, and rushed towards the Shenluo army array.

Quaid raised his sword and shouted, and the shield-bearers in front shouted in unison, holding their shields tightly and preparing to meet the onslaught of enemy cavalry.

In an instant, I saw the waves crashing on the shore, and the cavalry tide slammed into the shield defense line of the HRE army, and in the continuous violent loud noise, the powerful impact force knocked the HRE defense line into potholes and dogs, but failed to break through their defense line.

Immediately, the HRE army withdrew from the defense line, and the spearmen and horse-chopping swordsmen rushed out and crashed into the middle of the Ming war horse, wielding spears and swords to stab and kill, killing the Ming war horsemen on their backs for a while! However, the Ming war cavalry was aroused by the fierce enemy, and they urged the horses to rush forward indomitably, and the war horses collided, slashing and killing countless enemy soldiers!

Just when the two sides were fighting inextricably, there was another rumbling sound of horses' hooves. Quaid hurriedly followed the prestige and saw it

A black Ming war horse rushed out from one side, like a black cloud, and I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart! But seeing that the war horse was as strong as a dragon, and the knight in black clothes and black armor was even stronger and fiercer, like a tiger and a lion, his iron hooves stepped through the mountains and rivers, and the murderous spirit rushed straight to Xiao Han!

Realizing that this enemy army was extraordinary, Quidden hurriedly ordered the flank army to prepare for the battle, and at the same time hastily transferred a part of the right flank army to reinforcements.

Seeing that the enemy horsemen were close enough, Quaid immediately ordered the crossbowmen to release their arrows. When the crossbowmen heard the order to fire their arrows, they saw a puff of arrows flying out, and it was like a dark cloud. Almost at the same time, I saw that those black cavalry suddenly turned under the belly of the horse, and a dense rain of arrows whistled by, but it did not cause any damage to the other party. Seeing this scene, the HRE soldiers couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

The black cavalry dodged a rain of arrows, quickly rolled back on their horses, drew their throwing spears, and struggled to invest them. Seeing countless throwing guns whizzing towards him, Quaid couldn't help but change his face and roared urgently. I saw a rain of guns falling, crackling loudly!

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