Chapter 988, Fight Back Fierce Battle
When Yan Ji heard Yang Peng's words, she was very puzzled and asked, "Why did the husband say that?" ”
Yang Peng smiled and said, "Since it was a trap they arranged, do you think we can still go back the way we came?" Yan Ji was stunned, and then frowned.
Yang Peng looked at the wind and sand rolling in the distance, and continued: "They really know how to choose a place!" This place is very well chosen, surrounded by the desert and the sea blocking the way, as long as two large armies come from the east and west, they can surround us. When Yan Ji heard this, she fully understood the current situation, and couldn't help but be even more worried, and hurriedly said to Yang Peng: "Husband, you should break through quickly, you must not be trapped here!" It's not a pity for us to die, but my husband must not make any mistakes! ”
Yang Peng held Yan Ji's slender hand, looked at her eyes, and said softly: "In my heart, you are the most important!" Yan Jifang's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but lean into her lover's arms.
Yang Peng hugged Yan Ji's waist and said with a smile: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, although the situation is sinister now, but it is not in a desperate situation, what is the result, it is too early to say now!" Yan Ji saw that her husband was full of pride, and couldn't help but become obsessed.
Yang Peng gently patted Yan Ji's buttocks and ordered, "You go and count the food and water, and report to me when you're done." Yan Ji immediately left her lover's arms, solemnly guaranteed her promise, and then ran down.
Yang Peng glanced at Yan Ji's graceful back, then looked into the distance and muttered: "This time I really capsized in the gutter, and I actually fell for such a low-level trick and is now in a desperate situation!" At this point, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Before the evening of the same day, the scouts sent out returned one after another. As Yang Peng expected, the situation was very bad, and the 200,000-strong army led by Byzantine Marshal Lambert and General Frank had already appeared in the desert to the west and was heading towards this side; And to the southeast, an army of more than 100,000 led by the Byzantine Empress Cynthia herself is also coming in a rage.
When the generals heard these reports, they couldn't help frowning, and Huyan Chijin couldn't help but shout: "Good guy, there are more than 300,000 troops!" ”
Yang Peng said self-deprecatingly: "I really beat Yan all day long, but I was pecked by Yan!" Cynthia was proud to have fallen into their elaborate trap! ”
Li Xu couldn't help but say: "The eldest brother is just worried about his sister-in-law before he is fooled, if there is no such factor, it is to borrow a few brains from Nacinthia, and she will definitely not let the eldest brother be fooled!" Everyone nodded in agreement, all looking very unconvinced.
Yang Peng smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Seizing the opponent's weakness and using tactics is a common trick on the battlefield, and it is natural and understandable. I did fall behind this time. The crowd was speechless and depressed.
Yang Peng glanced at everyone, with a proud look in his eyes, and said loudly: "But although they have the advantage, it is not so easy to destroy us!" Although the enemy army is several times larger than ours, we will definitely be able to defeat them! Because of our Ming soldiers, we are invincible! ”
The crowd was so angry that they howled one after another, swept away the dullness just now, and wanted to pounce on the enemy army at once.
Yang Peng ordered: "All go down and prepare, let the soldiers rest while the enemy has not yet arrived." The generals clenched their fists and promised, and the fish came out.
It is said that Lambert and Frank learned the news of Yang Peng's plan, and in ecstasy, they immediately launched an operation according to the plan, and on the third day after Yang Peng crossed the desert, they entered the corridor between the deserts, blocking Yang Peng's retreat to the west. Then the army marched all the way to the Bal region, marching in the desert Gobi, the yellow sand was full of smoke and dust, and the goshawk was hovering overhead!
A few days later, the natural city carved out of the wind and sand was revealed. Among them, I saw a cold light flickering, and the flag was faint, obviously hiding a lot of people.
Frank couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then Emperor Yang Peng must not have expected to be in such a desperate situation, I really want to see his expression at the moment, it must be very exciting!" Lambert couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. Then he glanced around, and saw a large stone slab seven or eight miles southwest of Bal, so he pointed to that place and said, "There is a stone slab that is just right for the garrison!" Frank looked in the direction of his finger and nodded. Lambert prepared to send the army to camp.
At this moment, Barr suddenly drummed and horned, and was blown by the desert wind and sand, which was particularly thrilling. Lambert and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly looked towards Barr, and saw that Emperor Yang Peng was leading tens of thousands of soldiers out of the city. Frank laughed and said to Lambert: "Your Excellency, the enemy has come out to die!" Lambert laughed: "I originally wanted to let the army rest for a while and then attack the city, but I didn't expect them to take the initiative to come out!" That's great! In the desert field, although Yang Pengjun's combat power is extraordinary, it is by no means the opponent of our 200,000 troops! Then he ordered: "Order all armies, line up in attack formation, and prepare for battle!" ”
The order was quickly conveyed, and all the Byzantine cavalry immediately stepped forward and lined up, and the infantry gathered behind the cavalry, apologized and unsheathed, wound their bows and crossbows, and the army of more than 200,000 was ready to go.
Not long after, I saw that Emperor Yang Peng led tens of thousands of horses to more than 300 steps in front, stopped, and lined up in a battle formation. It turned out to be an attack formation, with the cavalry in front and the infantry in the rear.
The Byzantine generals couldn't help but be annoyed when they saw that Yang Peng's army had also discharged an attack formation, and the fierce general Enzo shouted: "It's too rampant! Do such people still want to attack us? The other generals also shouted and cursed. Lambert and Frank were also very annoyed, and only felt that the other party was too arrogant and contemptuous of their own side. Lambert raised his right hand and raised his voice, "Prepare to attack!" ”
The Byzantine cavalry raised their swords and guns and shouted in unison, the sound shook the sky, and the momentum was amazing. The standard-bearer looked at Lambert's right hand and waited for him to put it down before giving the order!
Kill!! Suddenly, an astonishing killing sound came from the rear of the Byzantine army. The Byzantine soldiers were already terrified, and hurriedly looked back, and saw thousands of Yang Pengjun who didn't know where they came from, and they were lining up at the door! The rear team was caught off guard, and was killed so that the corpse was bloody, and he was terrified and retreated!
Frank glared and exclaimed, "What's going on?" Where did they come from? "They came from underground. Yang Peng has never been a person who is willing to be beaten passively, although he fell into the trap of the enemy and the situation was very critical, but Yang Peng arranged a counterattack strategy. Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet arrived, Yang Peng ordered Huyan Chijin to lead the elite of the 3,000 infantry army to this place where the Byzantine army would inevitably pass, dig a hole and lay in ambush in order to surprise the enemy and catch them by surprise. Not long ago, the Byzantine army marched by, unaware of the fact that there was a strange army lurking under the sand beneath their feet.
Lambert didn't care about the reason, and immediately ordered the step-by-step army to counterattack the enemy army. However, the situation was uncontrollable for a while, because the defeated rear army rushed up and disrupted the other troops, and the enemy attacked with the momentum, which was simply unstoppable! I saw flesh and blood flying in the yellow sand, and the Byzantine soldiers fell into the yellow sand one by one! And those Byzantine troops who were not attacked were inevitably panicked and their morale was turbulent.
At this moment, Yang Peng waved his iron horse lance forward, and tens of thousands of Yang Peng's horsemen immediately rushed out like a tiger out of the box, rushing straight towards the Byzantine army array! When the Byzantine soldiers saw this, they were startled and hurried to meet the battle. Seeing that Yang Peng's cavalry was in front and behind, he slammed into the Byzantine cavalry! I saw the cold light flickering, the flesh and blood flying, the iron hooves flying, and the people turned on their backs!
Yang Peng's offensive was extremely violent, like a landslide, like a thunderstorm, and the Byzantine cavalry felt unable to support it in an instant. Immediately, the infantry army continued to advance, and went straight through with a bold sword, cooperating with the cavalry to break through a bloody road, and fiercely slammed into the Byzantine infantry formation! Yang Peng personally led the cavalry to break through the formation, trampling with iron hooves, slashing with knives and guns, and the soldiers were in the direction of the front, and the people were down! Yang Peng took the lead, even picking up the enemy soldiers and soldiers, and directly pressing the commander of the Chinese army, the entire army array was about to shake!
Seeing that the situation was critical, Lambert immediately led his own soldiers and generals to meet the sharpest soldiers of Emperor Yang Peng. At the same time, Frank ordered the herald to send a banner to the scattered cavalry, telling them to immediately gather and besiege the enemy.
Lambert led the generals and his own soldiers to meet Yang Peng's team of cavalry. I saw the two sides slamming into each other in the midst of thousands of troops, brandishing swords and guns, and fighting fiercely. Yang Peng was like a fierce tiger and a dragon, killing into the enemy army, and the iron horse lance in his hand flew up and down like a frightened dragon, seeing that the enemy soldiers fell off their horses one after another, and the screams rang out! All the soldiers were taken by Yang Peng's might, and they couldn't help but retreat! Lambert shouted angrily: "Imperial warriors, there is no advance or retreat!" Then he rushed towards Yang Peng with a cross sword.
Yang Peng saw Lambert rushing desperately, and he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand, and swept towards Lambert with the iron horse lance in his right hand, and the last to come first! Lambert was taken aback and hurriedly swung his sword with both hands to block! I only heard a loud snap, and the two weapons slammed together, and Lambert only felt a huge force coming from the sword, and the whole person couldn't help but be shocked, and his heart was terrified!
Yang Peng defused the opponent's fierce offensive with a lance, and immediately clamped the horse's belly between his legs, the black dragon rushed up, Yang Peng stabbed straight towards Lambert's chest with one hand, the speed was extremely fast, and the cold light was like a lightning! Lambert was so frightened that he hurriedly fell on his horse's back, and almost at the same time, he felt a fierce wind hanging against the back of his head and back, and he didn't feel cold sweat.
Yang Peng saw that the other party had snatched it over, and even if he wanted to continue attacking. At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves on the left was rapid, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw an enemy general howling with a big knife and rushing straight up! Seeing that the big knife was about to fall, Yang Peng had no time to attack Lambert again, so he immediately moved his hands to cross the opponent's big knife! I only heard a loud snap, and the big knife was slashing towards Yang Peng, but it was swept away by Yang Peng's iron horse lance! The enemy almost couldn't hold the big knife, and the middle door was already open! Yang Peng took this opportunity and stabbed straight out! The enemy saw the cold light flashing in front of him, and he was frightened and wanted to dodge, but it was too late! I heard a thud, and the lance stabbed into the enemy's chest!
As soon as Yang Peng's luck was picked, the enemy general flew out of the saddle with a scream, fell a few steps away, and saw that he couldn't survive.
At the same time, several other enemy generals swarmed up and besieged Yang Peng. Yang Peng wielded a horse lance to confront them, seeing the smoke and dust, the tiger fighting the wolves, and the battle was extremely fierce!
Lambert took this opportunity to retreat outside the standing circle and shouted: "Warriors of the Empire, you are the glory of the Empire, and you must not retreat!" Victory will be yours, attack, attack! The Byzantine soldiers couldn't help but be demoralized, and they stopped retreating, roaring and rushing forward, sacrificing their lives to fight with the wolf-like Ming army! The yellow sand is all over the sky, the flesh and blood are flying, and the soldiers on both sides are killed miserably, and the sun and moon are gone! At the same time, the Byzantine cavalry, which was originally scattered by the Ming army, also surrounded and joined the war group and fought desperately!
Here, Yang Peng was surrounded and killed by enemy generals, but he was not afraid. After a rush of confrontation, Yang Peng slashed the opponent's three fierce generals in a row. Enzo and Zorro howled and attacked left and right, and Yang Peng stabbed the horse lance towards Zorro's chest while sideways more than Enzo's big sword. Zorro was about to slash down, but when he saw the opponent's iron horse lance suddenly rushing towards him, he quickly dodged in a panic, and narrowly avoided this blow!
Enzo shouted at this time, and swept the big sword in his hand towards Yang Peng's chest. Yang Peng immediately retracted the horse lance and put it on his chest, and between the lightning and flint, he saw the big sword slashing heavily on the iron horse lance, with a loud bang, and sparks splashed everywhere. And at this time, Jura shouted again and swung his sword to attack! Seeing that Yang Peng is about to be beheaded!
At this critical moment, Yang Peng raised his left foot and kicked on Zorro's horse, the horse was kicked violently, and he fell down, and Zorro's inevitable blow fell in an instant.
Seeing this, Enzo was taken aback, and immediately swung his big sword to attack Yang Peng, only to see the big sword slashing and slashing the tiger and the tiger with great momentum; Yang Peng attacked him, and the weapons of both sides slammed into each other several times in mid-air, and the sound was deafening! Enzo suddenly shouted, and raised his sword with both hands and slashed straight down at Yang Peng's head from top to bottom! Yang Peng immediately raised the iron horse lance, and the cross sword slashed heavily on the iron horse lance, and there was a loud bang, and the bodies of both sides were shocked! Yang Peng didn't wait for the other party to change his move, and used the iron horse lance to hold the opponent's big sword and pushed it to the side! Enzo couldn't help this force, his arm and the big sword were thrown out, and the door was wide open, and Enzo couldn't help but be shocked! Immediately, I saw that the other party raised his horse lance and stabbed straight at his chest, the cold light flickered, and he had already run to the place in front of his nose!
Enzo was horrified and hurriedly shifted his upper body sideways. Almost at the same time, the iron lance stabbed against Enzo's body, piercing the armor and hurting Enzo's skin! Enzo subconsciously exclaimed. Without waiting for Enzo to react, Yang Peng quickly changed his moves, withdrew the iron horse lance with both hands, and then moved the horse lance around his waist with both hands, and swept towards Enzo from the other side, and the horse lance tore through the air and whirred! Enzo scrambled to dodge, only to hear a muffled thud, and the iron lance slammed into Enzo's waist! Enzo only felt as if he had been hit by a ram, and the whole person flew out and fell to the ground, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with a wow!
However, Yang Peng couldn't go up to make up for it, because more than a dozen enemy generals howled and besieged him. The other officers and soldiers reacted, and they all let out hysterical shouts and rushed up. The elite cavalry who followed behind Yang Peng fought bloodily, and felt that Yang Peng's side met the enemy army and fought bloodily. All of a sudden, I saw the soldiers on both sides clashing and fighting viciously, flesh and blood flying in mid-air, and people on the ground kept falling! Yang Peng is more and more brave in the thousands of troops and horses, and the iron horse lance continues to raise blood rain, whether it is a soldier or a general, he can't help but Yang Peng's iron horse lance strikes, and the cold light is full of blood and rain everywhere, like a tiger and a dragon, and the world is shocked!
However, in the entire battle situation, the situation of the Ming army is becoming more and more unfavorable. After the previous chaos, the Byzantine army has reacted at this time, and the advantage of more than 200,000 troops has gradually come into play.
Seeing that the situation of the Ming army has taken a sharp turn for the worse. At this moment, a pure cavalry force rushed out of Bar, rolling up a cloud of smoke and dust and rushing towards the battlefield. When Lambert saw this, he frowned and shouted: "The enemy army has reinforcements, the cavalry is out of battle, intercept them quickly!" ”
The cavalry who were struggling to storm the Ming army saw the flag order, and immediately left the battle and turned to deal with the new Ming army. Seeing that the Ming War Cavalry was a heavy armored cavalry, the Iron Tower Sensen, and the momentum was amazing, and they couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.
Here, the Ming army, which was in a bad situation, was less attacked by the opponent's cavalry, and Deng Shi felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and he immediately roared and roared a fierce counterattack, killing the Byzantine soldiers on their backs and causing heavy casualties. At this moment, the Ming army suddenly turned around and rushed straight towards the Byzantine ass.
The Byzantine war cavalry was fighting with the Ming war cavalry, and it was difficult to solve the killing, but I didn't expect the chrysanthemum to be hit hard, and I couldn't stand it when I boarded, and I was rushed by the Ming army! The Ming war cavalry rushed forward, and the Ming infantry army made a bold move, killing the Byzantine cavalry on their backs and wanting to die!
The infantry led by Yang Peng broke through the barrier of the Byzantine cavalry in one fell swoop and joined up with the cavalry led by Hua Rong, and then the soldiers and horses quickly retreated into Baal.
Frustrated, Lambert led the army in pursuit for a while, and when the enemy retreated into Baal, who was difficult to defend and attack, he had to order the army to stop. The army halted its advance, and the rumbling came to a halt. The yellow sand gradually fell, as if a huge curtain was falling.
Lambert glanced back at the battlefield, only to see corpses strewn all over the ground, yellow sand stained with blood, and couldn't help frowning. Then he ordered: "The army retreats to the stone slab and camps. The Byzantine army immediately retreated to the big stone slab, set up camp, and wanted to confront the city of Bal, where Yanyun's army was located.
Lambert and the others sat in the big tent, their brows furrowed tightly. General Frank is reporting: "....... More than 15,000 people were killed and more than 5,000 wounded. ”
Lambert said angrily: "Be cautious along the way, I didn't expect to be ambushed by them!" The generals were depressed and silent. If it had been in the past, Enzo would have hurled insults at Da Ming, but now he was wrapped in bandages and looked disgraced, and he didn't say anything. After experiencing this battle, he has truly felt the terrible strength of the Ming Army and Yang Peng's unparalleled force, where can he still say such wild words before.
Lambert asked Frank, "How much did the enemy lose?" ”
Frank said: "It is estimated that about 4,000 were killed and about 2,000 were wounded. When the crowd heard this, they became even more depressed.
I only heard Frank continue: "In addition, our army has suffered a lot of losses, and a total of more than fifty generals have been killed. Although everyone knew that there were a lot of casualties in this battle, they didn't expect that there would be so many, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they heard it. Frank said: "It's worth mentioning. Among the more than 50 generals who died in battle, thirteen of them were beheaded by Emperor Yanyun, including famous generals such as Bude! He looked at Enzo and Zorro, who were injured, and said, "Enzo and Zorro were also injured in his hands. The strength of the Ming Emperor is very amazing, no wonder it is rumored to be the incarnation of the demon dragon! I don't think anyone in the Byzantine Empire can defeat him, but even the Holy Roman Empire can't defeat him! ”
The generals couldn't help but feel a wave of frustration. George said unconvinced: "Although Emperor Yang Peng left, I don't see it if you want to say that the world is invincible!" Your Majesty has four escort warriors by his side, all of them are capable of lifting thousands of pounds, and I think any of them can defeat the Ming Emperor! When the generals heard this, not only their morale was boosted, but several generals echoed it.
Frank said to Lambert: "Your Excellency, our army has suffered this setback, suffered a lot of losses, and its morale is low, I am afraid that it will not be able to launch an attack for the time being, and it must rest for a while." The crowd stopped talking and looked at Lambert.
Lambert frowned and nodded, and instructed George: "Immediately report the situation here to Her Majesty the Empress by a flying pigeon." George said yes and ran down.
Yang Peng stood at the highest point of the city of Baal, looking at the Byzantine camp on the stone slab in the distance, with a thoughtful expression. Yan Ji came to Yang Peng's side and said happily: "The morale of the soldiers is high!" ”
Yang Peng said with a smile: "We won a game, and morale was high, while the enemy lost a game, so naturally morale was low." He turned his head and glanced at Yan Ji and said, "If there is no accident, I estimate that the current enemy army will not attack for the time being." Yan Ji nodded, then frowned, and said, "Although we have severely damaged their spirit, we ourselves have suffered a lot of losses, and the current situation has not changed in the slightest!" Husband, the Byzantine empress's army of more than 100,000 has not yet arrived, and if they do, they will definitely attack in an all-out way, what should we do then? ”
Yang Peng smiled: "The car has its own road in front of the mountain, don't worry." ”
Yan Ji's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Husband already has a plan to deal with it?" ”
Yang Peng shook his head and said, "No." I can't think of a way to resolve the current situation. ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
