Yang Dezheng and the others were already very tired after the vicious battles just now. Now caught in the siege of tens of thousands of war horsemen of the other side, although he tried his best, he couldn't rush out at all, and died in the tragic battle one by one! However, the Shinra Warknights did not feel relaxed or happy at all, because every little they achieved was extremely heavy!

However, although the power of Yang Dezheng and other Ming warriors is very amazing, their situation is getting worse and worse, after all, there are many enemy soldiers, even if they can beat one to ten, it is far from enough!

Seeing that Yang Dezheng and the others were trapped in the encirclement of the enemy and could not get out, the situation was already at a critical moment! At this moment, the city gate opened again, and a Ming war horse rushed out, rushing straight towards the battlefield like a tiger!

When they saw that another Daming war horse rushed out, they couldn't help but panic, and before they could divide their troops to meet the battle, they were bumped in by the other party! Yang Xin's department was extremely fierce, the prancing horse rushed to kill, the horse stepped on the knife and slashed, seeing that a bloody path was opened in the Shenluo war horse, and Yang Dezheng and them were captured! Immediately, the two war horses merged into one force, and before the enemy could react, they rushed out along the way they came! When the enemy reacted, the Ming War Cavalry had already broken through the siege and returned to the city!

The Shinra soldiers couldn't help but feel ashamed when they saw that their million-strong army was being freely entered and exited by thousands of warriors from the other side. At the same time, he was shocked by the bravery and strong combat power of the Ming army, and he only thought in his heart: 'The other party only came out with 2,000 war horses, and his own side was in a hurry, if the other party came out with 20,000 war horses, it would be okay!' At the thought of this, the HRE soldiers couldn't help but feel demoralized.

Several generals rushed to Catherine, lowered their heads, and said in great shame: "Your Majesty, we have not been able to destroy the enemy, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Catherine glanced at the generals and said, "You don't have to blame yourselves! I don't blame you, it's my negligence that gives the enemy a chance! When the generals heard this, they could not help but be grateful.

Catherine glanced up at the city in the distance and said to the generals: "Today's incident is also a good thing, at least let us experience the cunning of Yang Yanzhao for yourself!" Then he commanded: "It is not the act of a warrior that the enemy will attack us while we are unprepared!" The losses we have suffered today will soon be doubled back to the enemy! When the generals heard this, their original frustration was replaced by anger, and the fierce general Loew said loudly: "The Ming people are all cowards!" In a head-to-head confrontation, my 2,000 men are enough to deal with 2,000 of them! The generals chimed in. Immediately, the generals spread Catherine's words to the whole army, and the HRE soldiers only felt that His Majesty was extremely right, and the original feeling of defeat couldn't help but subside, replaced by a feeling of anger, and they all wanted to start a war with the Ming army to avenge today's revenge.

Catherine asked her soldiers to rest for the night and fight again, so the army slowly retreated.

Yang Yanzhao looked at the slowly retreating HRE army, and couldn't help but say to Duan Zhixian: "It seems that I underestimated this HRE Empress before!" Originally, I wanted to use 2,000 horsemen to raid the enemy army to break the morale of the enemy army. This goal had already been achieved, but the enemy army quickly regained their fighting spirit, which was obviously the means of the Empress of the HRE. Lu Zhishen said: "There is nothing strange about this. Since that woman can become the empress of the HRE, she naturally has some means! However, the Sprinkle family thinks that although this woman has some means, she is not particularly powerful in marching and fighting! Yang Yanzhao nodded, and said to Duan Zhixian with a smile: "General Duan, from tomorrow onwards, you and I are afraid that we will not be able to be as leisurely as we are now!" ”

Duan Zhixian laughed, slapped his bald head with his palm, and said loudly: "Come on, come on!" The Sprinkle family is a little impatient to wait! ”

That night, Duan Zhixian fell asleep early, and his shouts shook the sky. In his mind, anyway, the wisdom and strategy of marching and arranging the formation, he can't compare to Yang Yanzhao, and with him, he won't be nerve-wracking, so he fell asleep early and threw everything to Yang Yanzhao.

Yang Yanzhao couldn't be as leisurely as Duan Zhixian, although it was already late at night, Yang Yanzhao was still patrolling everywhere, and constantly sent heralds to deliver orders to the military camps in the surrounding highlands and ask about the situation. After everything was arranged, Yang Yanzhao still did not rest, but returned to the big tent, looking at the map and thinking about how to break the enemy. Yang Yanzhao's strategy is naturally nothing to say, at least in this era, there are absolutely no generals who can surpass him. However, Yang Yanzhao will fight again, and in the face of such a huge enemy army, he can't think of a way to break the enemy for a while.

A night passed imperceptibly. A personal soldier rushed in and reported: "Marshal, the enemy has moved!" "Many of the people under Yang Yanzhao's command were old men who followed Yang Yanzhao when he was a general of the Song Dynasty.

Yang Yanzhao was not surprised at all when he heard the report of his own soldiers. He immediately stood up, walked to the armory rack, grabbed his spear, and ran out of the tent.

Soon after, Yang Yanzhao came to the city wall. Looking out of the city, I saw that the military camp of the Shinra family outside the city was crowded, and it was obvious that they were making a move.

At this moment, Duan Zhixian ran behind Yang Yanzhao. Looking at the enemy barracks outside the city, he couldn't help but sigh and said strangely: "What the hell are they doing with these frustrated birds?" Looking like this, it looks like the army is about to be withdrawn! ”

Yang Yanzhao said: "It does look like it is about to withdraw the army." ”

Duan Zhixian said incomprehensibly: "These frustrated birds just left? That's weird too! ”

Yang Yanzhao pondered: "Maybe something happened." Duan Zhixian looked inexplicable and asked, "What happened?" Yang Yanzhao shook his head and said, "I don't know." Then he glanced at the enemy camp outside the city, "But this may also be a trick of the enemy, and we must not act rashly!" Duan Zhixian said indifferently: "You are the coach appointed by the eldest brother, you have the final say." Yang Yanzhao immediately ordered all armies to defend to the death, and no one should rush into battle without his order, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to monitor the enemy's movements.

By evening, scouts had come back one after another to report that the enemy was indeed retreating, and that there was no sign of anything out of the ordinary.

Yang Yanzhao pondered: "Could it be that the enemy army learned that our army had cleared the enemy army in the south, so he gave up his plan to advance eastward?" ”

Duan Zhixian nodded; "It must be so, yes!" Then he laughed and said, "That Empress Shinra fell to the ground and was just a woman!" When I encountered a little problem, I was terrified! The crowd laughed. However, Yang Yanzhao frowned, he felt that the HRE Empress Catherine should not retreat just because of this. Yes, after the Shenluo soldiers and horses in Tianzhu were completely wiped out, the overall situation was indeed not so favorable compared to the Shenluo side, but they also paid a lot of price in order to eliminate Tianzhu's Shenluo army, which must have been seen by the Empress of Shinra and her generals; And the Empress of Shinra still has a million army in her hands, and she can continue to attack eastward, judging from the current situation, as long as she has no major mistakes in strategy, or a situation of more wins and fewer defeats, why did she give up and retreat suddenly? Moreover, there is a huge fleet on the HRE side, if a fleet is used to protect an army to land at any point on the west coast of Tianzhu, it can make the situation of their own home even more unfavorable, they really have no reason to withdraw their troops! Yang Yanzhao thought about it and really couldn't understand this.

The more Yang Yanzhao couldn't figure it out, the more vigilant he became. More scouts were sent out, one to monitor the enemy's movements, and the other to search south and north to detect whether the enemy was trying to surprise the enemy. However, after a few days, the situation was normal, the HRE army had indeed retreated, the army had retreated to Multan, and there was no sign of continuing to advance eastward. Soon after, Yang Yanzhao received a military intelligence report from Guan Ping, the defender of Kunlun Island, saying that the Shenluo fleet that had originally besieged Kunlun Island had stopped the siege and had withdrawn. And according to the report of the sentinel ship, the HRE fleet has retreated to the military port near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and it seems that it does not plan to attack in the short term. When Yang Yanzhao got this military report, he felt even more unfathomable.

If he couldn't figure it out, he had to be vigilant, and at the same time report these situations to His Majesty Yang Peng, the emperor who was on the island of Chechnya.

Yang Peng read Yang Yanzhao's report, and couldn't help but stroll along the beach, with a look of thought on his face.

Yan Ji next to her couldn't help but ask, "Husband, what did General Yang Yanzhao say?" ”

Yang Peng said: "Yang Yanzhao said that they have swept away Tianzhu's Shenluo army. Yan Ji was overjoyed and couldn't help but say happily: "This is great!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and continued: "Yang Yanzhao also said that the million-strong army of Catherine's command, which had been advancing eastward, suddenly withdrew westward to Multan, and it seems that he has given up his plan to advance eastward. ”

Yan Ji smiled: "This is a good thing, why doesn't my husband seem to be very happy?" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "This is a good thing, but it is a little unreasonable. After a pause, he pondered: "According to the current situation, although the Gude Department in the Tianzhu region has almost been wiped out, Yang Yanzhao's Department and Shi Liancheng's Department have suffered heavy losses in order to eliminate the soldiers and horses of the Gude Department, and the enemy army is still huge, and there is a huge naval fleet with great power, they still have a greater chance of victory." It stands to reason that they should continue to attack, but in fact it is the opposite, not only did they stop attacking, but they retreated! ”

Yan Ji couldn't help frowning, and said, "Hearing my husband say this, it seems that something is wrong!" Then his face changed, and he hurriedly asked his lover: "Could it be that the Empress of Shinra is planning some conspiracy again?" ”

Yang Peng pondered: "I do have this worry, but I can't figure out what she wants to do when I think about it?" ”

Yan Ji teased: "She's your woman, don't you know what he thinks?" ”

Yang Peng sighed and said with emotion: "A woman's heart is a needle under the sea, where can I figure it out!" Looking at Yan Ji, he said teasingly: "Even now, I can't fully know what you're thinking!" Yan Ji said angrily: "The concubine is talking about the Empress of Shinra, but the husband is involved in the concubine!" Husband, is this a ploy to attack the west? Yang Peng smiled and touched his nose. Yan Ji couldn't help but smile proudly when she saw that she had guessed correctly. Immediately thinking of the battle situation in the south, he couldn't help but feel worried, and asked, "Husband, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of your majesty?" ”

Yang Peng shook his head, "I've thought about it, and I really can't think of what she wants to do." Then he laughed self-deprecatingly: "It seems that this time we were all calculated by her!" ”

Yan Ji was worried, "Then what should I do?" The southern battlefield won't suddenly change again, right? ”

Yang Peng held Yan Ji's slender hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry. Although things were a little unexpected, I think Yang Yanzhao can deal with it. In the current situation, the best way to do this is to adapt to change. Yan Ji felt that what her lover said made sense, and couldn't help but nodded.

Yang Peng said: "The army of the Holy Roman Empire is not something we should worry about now. How to defuse the threat of the Byzantine Empire to the Western Regions is our top priority. ”

Yan Ji frowned and said: "What is the Byzantine marshal named Lambert leading 200,000 Byzantine troops to approach us, even if we want to make a move, it is difficult to do it!" ”

Yang Peng stopped and looked at the coast in the distance, and dimly saw only countless joint camps on the shore, which was the army of Byzantine Lambert. Yang Peng pondered: "If you want to rescue Mei'er, you must first defeat this Byzantine army. He turned his head to look at Yan Ji beside him and asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" Yan Ji glanced at her lover and said angrily: "You can't think of a good way, how can I think of a way!" Then he frowned and said: "However, our army only has about 70,000 people, but the other party has 200,000 people, and the strength is almost three times that of us, and the concubines really can't think of a way to defeat them!" Alas, the concubine is really worried! ”

Yang Peng looked at the enemy camp in the distance, his face was thoughtful, and then he pulled Yan Ji's slender hand and said with a smile: "Let's go back." Yan Ji asked in surprise, "Husband has thought of a way?" ”

Yang Peng shook his head and said, "It's time to rest, don't think about it." As he spoke, he took Yan Ji's slender hand and walked towards the big tent. Yan Ji followed behind her lover and said angrily: "It's nonsense again, it's really!" Yang Peng turned around and smiled evilly: "I have thought of a new trick, let's try it later!" ”

Yan Ji's face turned red when she arrived, and she said angrily: "Isn't it enough to toss the concubine last night?" I thought of a new trick! Besides, how can you still have such a mind when the current situation is so tense! ”

Yang Peng said solemnly: "Just because the current situation is tense, we should learn to relax ourselves." You should learn from me, too. ”

Yan Ji blushed and said angrily: "I can't learn!" ”

Yang Peng pulled Yan Ji's slender hand and smiled evilly: "Then let the husband teach you well." Yan Jifang's heart was pounding, some expectation, and some fear, and hurriedly said: "We, we don't want to be in the big tent." ”

Yang Peng said in surprise: "It turns out that you actually like field battles!" ”

Yan Ji slapped her lover in shame, and said angrily: "There are officers and soldiers around the big tent, and I feel uneasy when I think about it." ”

Yang Peng smiled: "There's nothing uneasy. They are all so far away that they won't hear anything. ”

Yan Ji still shook her head and said, "Anyway, it's not good in the big tent." If you still want to do that kind of thing in the big tent, the concubine will not depend on you! ”

Yang Peng stopped, turned around, held Yan Ji's slender hands and asked with a smile, "Then where do you think it's better to do that kind of thing?" Yan Ji knew that her lover was teasing herself, and she punched her lover lightly in the chest in anger.

Yang Peng grabbed Yan Ji's fist, put it to his lips, and kissed it gently. Yan Jifang's heart was rippling, her beautiful eyes were watery looking at her lover, and she looked like she was already emotional. At this moment, Yan Ji is really coquettish, Yang Peng couldn't help but move his index finger. Immediately, he didn't want to delay any longer, so he took Yan Ji and went into a small forest by the sea. Seeing this, the female guards naturally knew what His Majesty and Niangniang were going to do, and hurriedly sealed off the entire grove.

In the middle of the night, in the dead of night. Yang Peng stood on the seashore and looked at the Byzantine army joint camp on the shore. Li Xu and the others came behind Yang Peng, hugged their fists together and said, "Your Majesty (big brother)." ”

Yang Peng looked at the enemy camp in the distance and said, "I have just received a message from the flying pigeon, and the Byzantine army is storming Hu Si's ears, and the situation is precarious. The most serious thing is that the local nobles who were previously suppressed by us all jumped up, burned and looted everywhere, and even colluded with the Byzantine Empire to try to counterattack us. The situation is already at a critical juncture, and we must break through the obstacles in front of us as soon as possible and rush back to the rescue. ”

Huyan Chijin immediately clenched his fists and said: "As long as Your Majesty gives an order, all of us will attack desperately!" I don't believe we can't break the enemy forces on the shore! ”

Li Xu frowned and said, "None of the officers and soldiers in our army are afraid of death!" However, if we come nonsense, not only will we suffer heavy losses, but I am afraid that the plan to rescue Yelu Niangniang will also be shattered! Byzantium is not an ordinary enemy, their army is not much worse than us and the Shinra, now 200,000 troops are gathered on the shore, but we only have 70,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention whether we can defeat the enemy army, even if we can defeat the enemy army, how many of our 70,000 soldiers and horses can be left? Even if the remaining remnants of the army rushed to the Western Regions, it would not be of much use. ”

Huyan Chijin said anxiously: "If you don't attack hard, is there any other way?" ”

Li Xu and Shi Ping looked at Yang Peng together, and Shi Ping said, "Your Majesty must already have a way?" ”

Yang Peng slowly paced, and the three generals followed. Yang Peng said: "I have carefully considered the situation of the enemy these days, and for now, I am afraid that this is the only way to do!" ”

When the three generals heard Yang Peng say that there was a way, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and Huyan Chijin hurriedly said: "What is Your Majesty's way?" Tell us about it! ”

Yang Peng stopped and turned around. The next three generals also stopped.

Yang Peng said: "My plan is like this. Then he explained his plan in detail. When the three generals heard this, they all showed a look of amazement. Huyan Chijin couldn't help but exclaim: "Your Majesty is really a hero of the world!" Who else could have thought of such a plan except Your Majesty? The other two nodded in agreement.

Yang Peng said: "Without further ado, you all go down and prepare." The three generals clenched their fists and hurried away.

Early the next morning, while the Byzantine soldiers were still asleep, the sound of thrilling war drums came from the sea. The Byzantine soldiers woke up one after another, and at this time, the horn of the enemy's attack sounded loudly. The Byzantine soldiers rushed out of their tents and looked out to sea, where they saw many rafts approaching the shore. Byzantine Marshal Lambert did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the armies to prepare for battle. The Byzantine armies were assembled and rushed to their positions, ready for battle. The cannon was also unloaded and loaded with gunpowder shells, waiting for Lambert to give the order before it could be fired.

However, when the Ming army approached the range of the Byzantine cannons, it suddenly stopped advancing and retreated. When the Byzantine soldiers saw this scene, they only felt inexplicable. But soon everyone became nervous again, because the Ming army that had just retreated was rapidly approaching again! The Byzantine soldiers thought that the other party was going to really attack this time, and they held their breath! However, to the surprise of the Byzantine soldiers, the Ming army retreated after approaching the range of their artillery. Some Byzantine soldiers couldn't help but shout and curse.

However, the Ming army kept repeating such actions, constantly approaching the Byzantine army, but constantly retreating. The soldiers of the Byzantine army were already accustomed to seeing it, and they all felt that the Ming army did not dare to really attack, but was just bluffing.

Time kept passing, from morning to noon, and from noon to afternoon, the Ming army kept repeating that ridiculous action. Lambert concluded that the Ming army did not dare to come to attack, but only bluffed, and could not help but despise it in his heart. Feeling that it was really unnecessary to let the army be so vigilant, he ordered the army to disband and rest, and only a small part of the soldiers and horses were responsible for guarding. The armies were disbanded and rested, some slept, some drank wine and ate meat, and some talked and chatted, all of which did not take the Ming army on the sea to heart.

One of the sentries was standing on the sentry tower with another and chatting, when one of the sentries next to him suddenly pointed to the sea and shouted, "The enemy is here again!" The sentry in front didn't even look at it, and said angrily: "If you come, you won't come!" They don't dare to come! Go down there and get some wine, and if you don't drink some more, we'll fall asleep!" The sentry answered, and went down the stairs. After a while, he brought up a few bottles of wine. Several sentries chatted over a drink.

I don't know how long it took, but a sentry staggered to his feet, ready to go down the sentry tower to pee. I casually glanced at the sea and was surprised to see that the enemy raft seemed to be very close to the shore. He thought he had seen it wrong, and subconsciously rubbed his eyes with his hands. After a closer look, I found that the enemy was really very close, very close to the shore. The sentry was taken aback, and when he was drunk, he woke up seventy or eighty percent, and exclaimed, "Oh no! Oh no! ”

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