Yang Peng bent down and kissed her cheek, smiled, got up and left. When he came to the stairs, Xiaofang pointed to the outside of the embroidery building. Yang Peng went downstairs and walked out of the embroidery building. He saw only the moonlight.
A tall and graceful figure stood by the pavilion not far away with her back to this side. Yang Peng stepped forward and called: "Han Bing." Han Bing quickly turned around, looked at Yang Peng, and then looked at
Looking at the upstairs of Xiulou, he asked jealously: "Miss Yonghui actually allowed you to come down?"
Yang Peng held Han Bing's slender hand and looked at her tenderly. The jealousy in Han Bing's heart melted away like ice and snow under the sun, and he gave Yang Peng a white look. Yang Peng couldn't help but be moved and wanted to kiss her red lips.
Han Bing was surprised, pushed Yang Peng, and said angrily: "This is in someone else's yard!" Yang Peng laughed.
Han Bing thought of the business, "I almost forgot the business!" He glared at Yang Peng angrily, and then handed a letter in his hand to Yang Peng, "This is the urgent information I just received from the capital of Liao Kingdom!
"Yang Peng took the letter, opened it, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, and read it again. His face immediately showed a look of joy, "Okay! Great! God is really helping me!" Then he looked at the curious face.
Han Bing said: "The letter said that a full-scale conflict broke out between the Empress Dowager of the Liao Kingdom and Brother Ye Qianxiu, the Generalissimo. The troops of both sides clashed outside the capital, and the Empress Dowager was at a disadvantage!"
Han Bing was also very happy, "This civil strife is going on. I don't know when it will subside. It is a great opportunity for us to capture Xijing Road!" Yang Peng nodded, "Immediately pass the order, the army will move towards Yanmen Pass, and let Du Cheng be in charge of the food and grass."
Transshipment work." Du Cheng, Du Nan's father, is the deputy Xuanwei envoy to Shanxi appointed by Yang Peng. Han Bing responded and ran down.
Yang Peng walked into the pavilion, faced the small pond in front of him, and thought about it. He thought it was best to bring Ye Qi Hanyu with him for this battle. Many military and political officials in Xijing Road were officials or generals of the Liao Dynasty, and Meier was a prestige of the former Liao Dynasty.
The outstanding eldest princess, with her as her companion, may be able to defeat others without fighting in many cases...
Yang Peng's order was passed on, and the 200,000 soldiers of the direct army and the Xuanjia Army who had been resting for several months became excited. One day later, the army set off to advance north. Yang Peng personally commanded the army, Han Bing and Yelu Hanyu also
It was Xiao Meier who accompanied him as his left and right lieutenants.
As the saying goes, the army marched northward at the same time, and arrived at Bingzhou Prefecture more than ten days later. Without making too many stops, it continued its march northward. At the same time, Du Cheng organized migrant workers to transport grain, grass and baggage to accompany the army. Two giant dragons
It winds north among the high mountains of Shanxi.
Two days later, the army arrived at the foothills of Wutai Mountain, dozens of miles south of Yanmen Pass. Cao Jun, the general manager of Yanmen's march, sent a message saying that everything on the Xijing Road was normal and there was no Liao army coming to help. Yang Peng was secretly happy and ordered the army to rush to Yanmen Pass without stopping.
When night fell that day, the army entered Yanmen Pass. After a simple dinner, Yang Peng immediately summoned the generals to discuss the marching strategy. Yang Peng stood in front of the huge sand table and pointed to Datong Mansion, "More than half of the enemy's main force is concentrated.
In Datong Mansion, what I mean is to concentrate all our efforts to seize Datong Mansion in one go and annihilate the Khitan army in Datong Mansion. In this way, the other Khitan armies will inevitably be left vulnerable! At the same time, people carrying Meier's
Writing personal letters to the officials and generals who went to various places to induce surrender can shake their military morale even if they fail to induce surrender!" He turned to look at the generals to see what their opinions were.
Yelu Hanyu said: "Datong Mansion has a lot of food, grass and baggage. If we can successfully capture Datong Mansion, it will be very beneficial to our follow-up actions!" Cao Jun nodded. Han Bing said: "But capturing Datong Mansion is not a piece of cake.
Simple thing, we need to be on guard against enemy reinforcements!" Then he pointed to Fengsheng Prefecture, Khan Prefecture, and Ru Prefecture, three state capitals close to Juyong Pass, "The Khitans have deployed a hundred thousand troops in these places. Once Datong
There is police in the government, and they will definitely rush to the west for reinforcements! I think there is no need to be too anxious to capture Datong Prefecture. We can first use the strategy of siege and reinforcements to annihilate the 100,000 reinforcements from these three states, and then concentrate all our efforts to attack Datong Prefecture. At that time, the enemy's reinforcements
The news of the annihilation of the entire army must have frightened the enemy, and it will be much easier to capture Datong!"
Everyone nodded, Yang Peng's eyes showed approval, and Han Bingfang was delighted. Cao Jun said: "The general manager's plan is really wonderful!" He pointed to Juyong Pass, "If everything goes well, you might as well order the Juyong Pass defenders to go out.
The pass sweeps through the three prefectures of Fengsheng Prefecture, Khan Prefecture, and Ruzhou Prefecture, so that the connection between Datong Prefecture and the Zhongjing Road of the Liao Kingdom can be completely cut off!"
Yang Peng nodded, "That's okay." His eyes returned to Datong Mansion, and then moved to Baishan Mountain in the east of Datong Mansion. The Baishan Mountain area is undoubtedly the best place to set up an ambush, but such a good ambush place, Khitan
The military must also have thought that setting up an ambush here would be difficult to achieve miraculous results. If a stalemate formed, the battle would be in vain. The eyes continued to move eastward, arriving at Hongzhou, a hundred and twenty miles away from Baishan Mountain.
.The terrain here is flat, with only some hills and some sparse forests. It is definitely not a good place to set up an ambush. However, the enemy certainly did not expect there to be an ambush here, and this place is the only way for the enemy's reinforcements to come west, and they will definitely pass by.
Here, why not set the ambush location here.
As soon as Yang Peng thought about this, he told his plan. Han Bing, Yelu Hanyu and Cao Jun were all famous generals in a hundred battles. They knew the elegant meaning of Xiange when they heard it. When they heard his words, they understood his plan and they all showed great admiration.
Seeing that the three of them agreed, Yang Peng said, "I am personally responsible for this ambush. Once the ambush is successful, the army will attack Datong Prefecture with all its strength. At the same time, the Juyongguan garrison will attack and sweep across the three states. Once our army captures Datong Prefecture,
We will lead two groups of troops, all the way west to the Heqing Army. This group will be led by Han Bing. In addition to mopping up the remnants of the enemy and seizing the land, your mission is also to guard against possible interference from the Xixia people. Depending on the situation, you can categorically take any action you think
Necessary actions and measures!" Han Bing promised with clasped fists.
Yang Peng continued: "The other route is led by General Cao Jun, and goes straight to the northeast until it stops at Black Mountain, and then waits for my order." If everything goes well, Yanmen Pass will become a pass in the hinterland and there will be no need to defend it.
Therefore, Cao Jun's troops who were originally guarding Yanmen Pass can be transferred to participate in the attack.
Cao Jun looked at the terrain on the sand table and nodded. Yang Peng glanced at everyone and asked: "Do you have any other opinions?" Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. Yang Peng said: "Okay, that's it.
Come on! Without further ado, the army will leave the customs early tomorrow morning!" All the generals agreed in unison.
After the meeting, all the generals were busy. Yang Peng was walking alone on the city wall of Yanmen Pass. He stopped and looked to the north, and saw a vast expanse of silence. He turned his head and looked south, and saw that the night sky was illuminated by torches.
It was daytime, and the soldiers were preparing for tomorrow's battle out of the customs. In addition to Yanyun soldiers, there were tens of thousands of migrant workers sandwiched in the middle, and they were continuously transporting food, grass and baggage.
Yang Peng, who had experienced countless storms and waves, was about to face a big battle, but he was very calm in his heart. Early the next morning, the army gathered and drove out of Yanmen Pass. The Kingdom of Zhan Jin led the Xuanjia Army and 20,000 light cavalry as the vanguard, rushing forward.
, the main force followed closely behind.
For the Khitan people, the Yanyun Army's attack came so suddenly that they could hardly react. In just two days, Huairen, Yingzhou, and Heyin, north of Yanmen Pass and south of Datong Prefecture, fell.
.It was not until this moment that Ye Qianlongqing, who was left behind at Xijing Road, received the urgent report. He was shocked and summoned all the civil and military officials to discuss the matter. When all the civil and military officials heard that Yan Yun's army was attacking in large numbers, they were all shocked, looked frightened, and were speechless for a long time.
General Xiao Telie of the Liao Dynasty said: "Yan Yun is attacking us in a big way. We can't resist it. Our plan is to ask the imperial court for help immediately!" Ye Qian Longqing said angrily: "How can the imperial court care about us now?"
Xiao Telie said nothing more. Seeing the panic and fear of everyone in front of him, Yelu Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude and said: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to handle..."
Ye Qianlongqing thought he had a clever plan, and he was delighted and asked quickly: "Do you have an idea?"
Yelu Yu saw it and said: "There is no strategy to defeat the Yanyun Army, but I can give you a suggestion." Ye Qian Longqing said quickly: "Speak quickly!" At this time, everyone else's eyes also fell on Yelu.
On Yu Jian's face, he wanted to see if he had any good ideas. Yelu Yu Jian looked at Ye Qian Longqing and said seriously: "Actually, regarding this matter, if you think you can deal with Yan Yun, you will occupy the city and defend it.
Otherwise, it’s just a matter of leading the army to abandon the defense early! The King of the South Campus and the Grand Marshal are such great figures, but they were defeated by Yan Yun’s soldiers, so you don’t have to feel any embarrassment!"
Ye Qian Longqing looked at Yelu Yujian blankly and felt angry. He did not expect that Yelu Yujian would actually say such a plan. However, after thinking about it, he felt that although these remarks were uncomfortable to hear, they were also the truth.
He heard that Yang Peng personally commanded a large army to attack, and the soldiers under his command were all the bravest elites of the direct army! He had no confidence at all against such an enemy!
At this moment, a scout officer ran in panting and reported urgently: "No, sir, the enemy's forward has arrived at the city!" Everyone was shocked, and Ye Qianlongqing couldn't help shouting: "What?
So fast?!" The scout shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.
Ye Qianlongqing hesitated for a moment and hurriedly ran outside, followed by all the generals and staff. A large group of people hurriedly came to the city wall and looked outside the city. Sure enough, they saw tens of thousands of Yanyun warriors arrayed outside the city.
It was so powerful and murderous that it made people shudder, and many people couldn't help but have the idea of escape.
Zhan Jinguo came to the city alone and shouted: "Khitan dogs in the city, listen, I am Yanyun General Zhan Jinguo. Who dares to come out and die!"
Everyone in the city was frightened. When Ye Qianlongqing saw that he was so contemptuous of himself, he couldn't help but feel angry. He turned to look at the people around him, hoping that someone would dare to go out of the city to fight. However, everyone ran away when they met his gaze. There was silence on the city wall.
There was no bloody impulse at all, only an atmosphere in which everyone was in danger. Seeing this scene, Ye Qian Longqing couldn't help being discouraged and angry. Xiao Telie said: "Zhan Jinguo is one of the strongest warriors in Yanyun.
One of the generals has been invincible since his debut and has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. Countless famous warriors of our army have died in his hands! The final general thinks that for him, it is better to stay away from the edge for the time being!" The other generals nodded in agreement.
Ye Qianlongqing felt very depressed when he saw that all the generals were frightened. However, after thinking about it calmly, he felt that what Xiao Telie said was very reasonable. The Xuanjia Army led by Zhan Jin Kingdom came and went like the wind.
Every battle inflicted huge blows and losses on one's own side, and countless of his own soldiers would die in his hands. Going to war rashly would be really not worth the gain! As soon as he thought of this, he gave up the idea of going to war.
Zhan Jinguo shouted for a while under the city, but when he saw no response from the other party, he started to curse loudly. Ye Qian Longqing heard it on the city wall and was very angry but still had no intention of fighting.
Zhan Jinguo scolded him over and over for several times. When he saw that the other party had made up his mind to be a coward but would not come out, he couldn't help but mocked: "It turns out that the Khitan people can only be a coward. Why are they fighting like this? They still have their lives."
Come home and hug your wife soon!" These words greatly stimulated the Khitan army in the city. A Khitan army general led thousands of warriors and rushed out of the city gate. Ye Qian Longqing and others saw this scene in the city and had a meal.
Surprised, Xiao Telie said: "It's Modu!" Modu, a powerful general under Ye Qianlongqing, a Mongolian, had made many military exploits.
When the Zhanjin Kingdom saw thousands of Khitan army cavalry rushing out, with joy on their faces, they immediately turned their horses' heads and ran back to the army.
Mo Du led thousands of Khitan army cavalry howling and rushed towards the Yanyun army battle formation. They saw smoke and dust filling the sky, and the momentum was like a tide. The war drums on the city gate tower rang loudly, adding to the momentum of the Khitan army. At this time,
At the same time, Xiao Telie was ordered to lead 20,000 war cavalry and rush out of the city gate to prepare to cooperate with Modu to attack Yan Yun's army.
Among the horse troops of the Kingdom of Zhanjin, they stared at the approaching enemy troops. Twenty-two thousand Yanyun war cavalry stood motionless at Yuanting Mountain. Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, when the Khitan army
When approaching a distance of 150 steps, 22,000 Yanyun warriors fired together. A loud buzzing sound was heard, and the specially-made cavalry steel crossbows suddenly set off a storm of arrows! The Khitan army had never encountered Yanyun before.
The army was caught off guard by such a tactic. Modu was caught off guard and fell on his back. Modu died on the spot under a hail of arrows. The war cavalry under his command also suffered heavy casualties and was in chaos. At that time, the Khitan cavalry's bow and arrow range was only a hundred steps, and there was no way it could reach them in time.
Launched an attack on Yanyun Army.
Zhan Jinguo waved his spear forward: "Kill!" He rode out first, and 22,000 Yanyun warriors took the Xuanjia warriors as the vanguard and set off huge waves! They were already stunned by the storm of Yanyun's arrows.
The Khitan Army's war cavalry suddenly saw the Yan Yun war cavalry sweeping in like a huge wave. They were shocked, but they still bravely faced it.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided, and Yan Yun's war cavalry rushed forward, killing the Khitan soldiers with their spears and knives. The people watching the battle on the city wall saw that all the thousands of Mo Du's war cavalry were wiped out before they could react.
Seeing that the army in front of him collapsed in an instant, Xiao Telie was frightened and wanted to retreat into the city. However, he saw Yan Yun's cavalry coming with a fierce momentum. He knew that if he turned around and entered the city at this time, it would be too late.
They rushed up to the city and entered the city, with disastrous consequences. However, Xiao Telie had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead his 20,000 warriors to attack them.
Yan Yun's war cavalry fired a wave of arrows with a steel crossbow, causing the enemy soldiers to flip over. He then put down the steel crossbow and picked up the shield hanging on the side of the saddle to protect his body. At this moment, the Khitan army's war cavalry galloped while using cavalry.
The bow shot at Yan Yun's army, and the arrows streaked across the sky and fell into the wave of Yan Yun's war cavalry, causing many ripples. With a loud crackling sound, most of the raindrop-like arrows hit the Yan Yun war cavalry's arms.
On top of the shield.
The warriors charging each other only had a chance to shoot an arrow. The Khitan warriors put down their bows and arrows, picked up their long swords, and rushed towards the Yanyun army with shouts. Some of the Yanyun warriors held shields in their left hands and drew out their swords in their right hands.
Some put down their shields and picked up their spears, and the Xuanjia soldiers in the vanguard all straightened up their horses and charged at full speed, as if a forest of guns were coming overwhelmingly! The scene was so shocking that the scalps of Ye Qian Longqing and others on the city wall were numb!
In the blink of an eye, the two sides collided violently, and the spear forest composed of long and large horses rushed forward. I saw the Khitan army's war cavalry were stabbed off their horses one after another, and they were turned on their backs. The light cavalry following the Xuanjia army waved their swords and swords.
Shooting to kill the enemy troops who slipped through the net was a tactic that the Yanyun Army had never used before. Now, once it was used, the Khitan soldiers were so overwhelmed that they were almost defenseless. The Khitan soldiers were not cowards, and they howled with red eyes.
Shouting to charge to the death, they were not afraid of the overwhelming cavalry and spears, and they all went crazy. However, their brave charge did not bring victory. The heroic Khitan soldiers fell under the sharp horses.
, was chopped down to the ground by a long knife, and the entire formation gradually became chaotic.
Yan Yun's army rushed the Khitan army's cavalry to pieces in one go. At this moment, the brave Khitan army soldiers were finally afraid. Xiao Telie led his men first and ran back to the city, while the other soldiers fled in all directions; Zhan Jin Kingdom
I wanted to take the opportunity to break through the city gate, but the city gate was closed at the critical moment. What a danger!
Xiao Telie rushed back to the city gate tower, panting in shock, and said to Ye Qianlongqing: "Sir, the Yanyun Army is so powerful!!..." He wanted to say something else, but couldn't.
The words came. At this moment, Ye Qian Longqing and others on the city gate tower were all pale. The scene just now made them extremely frightened. It was not that they had never met Yan Yunjun before, but Yan Yunjun today seemed to be even more fierce than before.
They were so powerful that the number of cavalry on both sides was even, but they fell apart in the blink of an eye. This is really unbelievable!
After the Yanyun army outside the city completely defeated the Khitan army's cavalry, they did not pursue the defeated troops. The Khitan army also consisted of light cavalry. Only fools would do such a thing. The Kingdom of Zhanjin gathered its troops and
The Khitan army left their war horses on the battlefield, and then bypassed the northeast direction of Datong Mansion.
Everyone in the city could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this scene. Accompanied by everyone, Ye Qian Longqing inspected the surrounding city defenses, and then returned to the city headquarters. At this time, one after another the previously defeated Khitan army cavalry returned to the city.
.Everyone in the hall was silent, everyone was worried and worried.
Ye Qianlongqing was hesitant, not knowing whether to defend Datong Mansion or take advantage of the opportunity before Yan Yun's main force to abandon Datong Mansion and retreat to a safe place? Ye Qianlongqing and others had no confidence in defending Datong Mansion.
The battle just now destroyed his own fighting spirit, and it would be difficult to hold on to it; but giving up Datong Mansion was not that simple. It was difficult for Ye Qian Longqing to make this determination.
Secondly, and most importantly, he, Qian Longqing, has been the guard of Xijing Road for so long. It can be said that Xijing Road has been managed by him as his own kingdom. How can he let it go?
Such giving up!
Ye Qianlongqing really didn't know what to do. He glanced at everyone and asked, "In this situation, what do you think I should do?"
Everyone looked at each other and said nothing. Seeing that no one could give him any advice, Ye Qian Longqing couldn't help but feel very depressed. He seemed to be asking everyone, but also seemed to be talking to himself: "If you want to defend to the death, you must immediately ask for help from the capital.
At the same time, gather the civilian armies from all over the country!" After hesitating for a while, he finally couldn't abandon the territory he had managed for many years and decided to hold on to it, so he wrote a letter and gave it to his trusted messenger, ordering him to rush back to the capital immediately to invite the court.
Rescue, and then sent several other heralds to the states of Xijing Dao to gather all their forces to rescue Datong Prefecture, especially the 100,000 garrison troops from Feng Shengzhou, Ruzhou, and Khanzhou to come to the rescue. For the imperial court, Ye Qianlongqing
He didn't hold out much hope. His main hope lay in the 100,000 troops in Fengsheng Prefecture, Khan Prefecture, and Ruzhou, as well as the hundreds of thousands of civilian troops in various places. When he thought about it, if these troops gathered in Datong Prefecture, with the help of Datong Prefecture's
With strong city defenses and sufficient reserves, he will definitely be able to withstand the attack of Yan Yun's army.
After the discussion, Yelu Yujian returned to his residence alone. He had a feeling in his heart that surprised even him. He felt that the imminent war had nothing to do with him at all. He was like an outsider, waiting.
Watch a good show.
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves behind him, "Lord Yelu!" Someone raised his voice and called him. Yelu Yu didn't need to look back. From the sound, he knew that the person who was catching up was Xiao Terry. He reined in the horse and turned around.
Xiao Telie was leading dozens of guards. Xiao Telie ran to Yelu Yujian's horse and reined it in. "Sir, let's walk together." Yelu Yujian knew that he had something to say, so he ordered
nod.
The two drove together, with their guards following behind. Xiao Telie asked Yelu Yujian: "Sir, what do you think of the current situation?" Yelu Yujian glanced at Xiao Telie and said with a smile: "General, why bother?
You know what you are asking, isn't the current situation clear to the general?" Xiao Telie sighed, "The situation is not optimistic! It's a shame that at this moment, our Empress Dowager and the Generalissimo are actually having internal strife. Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible.
Afraid of Yan Yun!"
Yelu Yujian sneered and said, "That's not necessarily true! The entire Liao Kingdom was so united before that they abandoned the entire Central Plains!" Xiao Telie looked at Yelu Yujian with a strange expression, "Sir, you sound like a Han.
!" Yelu Yuchi snorted coldly, "Are you a Khitan?"
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
