Yelv Sheng rode his horse and galloped wildly, facing the fierce wind and the chaos. In the gloomy night, no one knew how many soldiers and horses escaped with him. Looking back in panic, he could only see a torrent of torches rolling in from a distance, tightly
Sneaking behind him.
This defeat was as inexplicable as the moment when he was about to kill Yelvxian and ascend to the throne of the emperor. That time, the thinking was not incomplete and the preparation was not sufficient, but after all, even the number of people at the entrance of the palace was
All the soldiers standing guard were taken into account, but he did not expect that three slaves would appear at the critical moment, ruining his big event. This time, he thought that with the indestructible Yinzhou City, he could fight against the Khitan and Luzhou.
For three to five years, they were dragged to death, exhausted, and forced to return without success. However, they never expected that the Yinzhou soldiers and Minzhuang, who had accounted for half of the troops, would suddenly rebel.
When he woke up, the city was already in chaos. The generals could not be found, and the generals could not find soldiers. Fires broke out everywhere, and the party soldiers were roaring and fighting everywhere. The party soldiers were as energetic as a group of buffalo calves. The Yinzhou soldiers rebelled.
The people had rebelled, and the people all over the city were adding fuel to the flames. In the dark night, the party troops who invaded the city, with divine help, quickly occupied Prince Qing's Mansion, the East City, the North City, and the South City. There was an endless stream of soldiers and horses, and they continued to attack the city.
Integrate into this war and chaos for the whole city and the whole people.
In such a scene, it would be impossible for any one person to carry out effective command. King Qing made a decisive decision and immediately led his troops to attack Xicheng. Even though he knew that Yang Hao had laid siege to the city, deliberately leaving Xicheng as a way to survive would be a trap.
At this time, he could only bite the bullet and break in. If he didn't leave or wait until dawn, he might die under the knife of some unknown person.
Yelusheng pulled up the banner and rushed all the way to the West City, shouting to gather troops all the way. Many Khitan soldiers who were fighting in scattered places gathered together when they saw King Qing's banner and followed him to escape to the West City. On the way, he met the leader of the army who came to look for him.
Yelv Moshi, two soldiers joined together and fled to Prince Qing's Mansion, which was the former Yinzhou Defense Envoy's Mansion. Another team came out from nowhere, wearing light black rattan breastplates, green handkerchiefs covering their heads, and using daggers and shields.
Although the number of soldiers and horses was only about 500, they were full of murderous intent and were as powerful as a rainbow. They rushed towards Yelv Sheng's banner. Yelv Moshi hurriedly divided his troops and resisted the enemy personally. Now he didn't know whether he would live or die.
Did you escape safely?
The crashing sound is like a building collapsing, and the mist is like a light going out. Thinking of this, Yelu is filled with sadness.
"Ah!" With a scream, a soldier in front suddenly fell to the ground with his horse and man. Yelusheng was shocked and said that there was an ambush in front. At this time, the cavalry rushing in front fell to the ground one after another, including his man and his horse.
Hearing people shouting for horses to neigh, but not seeing anyone getting up, Yelu Sheng suddenly realized and shouted: "There are horse pits ahead, run north!"
In the dark, Yelv Sheng did not distinguish between the road and the wilderness, so he led his men and horses and turned north. After this delay, the pursuers came closer. The torrent of torch soldiers flew in four directions, taking a straight line to attack the head of Yelv Sheng's troops.
In the middle and at the tail, the other one shot at a stone's throw in front of them. It was obvious that they were determined to win, and they would never allow him to escape again.
Yelv Sheng suddenly reined in his horse and looked to the west. It was dark there, and he didn't know how many horse traps had been dug. Looking to the south, he saw vast mountains and forests, going around Yinzhou. Looking to the east, he saw four torrents of torches.
Like four sharp arrows, they shot at his vital points separately. Yelv Sheng was filled with grief and anger. He suddenly picked up the reins of his horse, drew his sword in his hand, and shouted: "I would rather die in battle than surrender, kill back!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" The responses came one after another. Yelusheng heard it and felt greatly relieved. The number of soldiers who escaped from the city with him was at least about a thousand. These troops may be able to fight, maybe...
Can find a way out.
He shouted loudly, knocked his horse's belly, and then rushed forward without hesitation to meet the pursuers who were heading towards his middle. The soldiers of his own tribe who swore to follow him to the death and the Baigan tribesmen who had an sworn enemy with the Khitan emperor showed no sign of it.
Follow his horse and kill without hesitation...
Followed closely were all the troops of Yelu Xiezhen, divided into four groups. Each group had about 40,000 troops and horses. When they saw Yelu Sheng, they turned around and rushed towards them like trapped animals. Yelu Xiezhen secretly sneered. The flag could not be lit in the night.
Since he was in a panic and could not give orders with drums and music, he immediately used torches to send out signals and signals, and ordered the other three troops to form a circle to surround the enemy. Don't allow any of them to escape. His own troops spread out their formation and headed toward Yelu like a flood.
Sheng pressed down.
Yang Hao attacked Yinzhou at night, and more than 40,000 elite soldiers who had been preparing for it, under the leadership of the Li family's children, quickly seized various key passes. The sounds of fighting were heard in the Khitan military camp. Yelv Xiezhen heard the alarm and rose up
, saw fires everywhere in the city, but did not know what happened. While he sent people to contact Yang Hao, he quickly assembled the army and gathered all the soldiers who had just rested to prevent changes.
At this time, Yang Haoye had sent people to see him, claiming that the Yinzhou soldiers had mutinied. Kaicheng welcomed Yang Hao's army into the city. The Luzhou troops were fighting in the streets with the mutinous Yinzhou soldiers and Khitan soldiers, and attacked the garrison at the top of the city. King Yelu of Qing
Sheng has retreated to the west city, and there is a possibility of escaping. Please ask King Yelu to rush to his aid quickly.
Yelu Xiezhen's only mission when he came to the west was to kill the rebellious Yelu Sheng. When he heard that he might escape, he didn't think much about it and immediately sent troops to pursue him. At this time, the two cities in the east and north were still in the hands of the Khitan army.
Of course he could succeed in the civil strife, but with this delay, Yelusheng might have already fled, so Yelv Xiezhen sent his army along the moat and rushed to the west city. When he arrived at the west city, King Yelusheng of Qing had just rushed out of the city. Yelv Xiezhen
The horse did not stop, and immediately chased after him, holding on tightly and finally forcing Yelusheng to return to the army for a decisive battle.
"kill!"
There was still room for two arrows on both sides, but Yelu Xiezhen's army suddenly split again and became one arrow with three arrows. The charge troops protruding from the front looked like two sharp knives, raking Yelusheng's wedge formation.
Galloping from both sides, detouring around the flanks, galloping and shooting, the rain of arrows in the sky was like a knife, constantly cutting into Yelusheng's men and horses. From time to time, someone fell off the horse, and the wedge-shaped charge formation became thinner and thinner.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The two sides were not fighting hand-to-hand, but their eyes were already red. All the knights raised their sabers high, lifted their butts off the saddle, stepped on their stirrups with their feet straight, and made a posture of fighting to the death.
The two teams collided violently, just like the sharp tip of a bow and arrow hitting a crossbow shot. The tip of the bow and arrow immediately became blunt. The cavalry can only show its power in the charge, and one of the arrows lost its arrow.
How much of a threat does the arrow pose?
The sword in Yelusheng's hand slashed left and right, and a flash of blood suddenly appeared. The enemies he faced fell off their horses one after another, and their heads and necks were separated by him, and their limbs were broken into pieces. Yelusheng was originally good at wielding a long-handled broadsword, and his horse fighting skills were invincible.
But when he broke into the palace to kill the king, he was stabbed in the shoulder by Luo Kedi. Although he was treated by famous doctors, one arm could no longer use strength, so he used a saber instead.
Although his martial arts skills were greatly reduced, he was still invincible against these ordinary soldiers.
Blood rained down, and with his superb martial arts, ferocious momentum and bull-like physical strength, Yelusheng rushed forward non-stop, rushed, rushed...
kill!
An enemy soldier in front of him had just fallen off his horse. At the same time, Yelusheng himself was stabbed in the right rib. The horse's leg was chopped off by a soldier who fell off the horse. The horse fell forward with a mournful neigh. Yelusheng
With a push on the horse's back, the horse suddenly fell to the ground, and at the same time, he flew onto the opposite horse.
Yelusheng pulled the reins of his horse and was about to turn around to fight again. Suddenly he saw that there were only a few soldiers following him. The closest soldiers were also separated by four feet away. Among the torches, only spears and halberds could be seen.
Ru Lin was greeting them.
Yelusheng's eyes turned red. He roared, slashed with his sword, drew a gun, and wiped the man's neck. A head flew up, and blood spurted out. Yelusheng reined in his horse and turned around again.
Regardless of whether anyone is following him or not, he just continues to rush towards the endless torrent of fire in front of him like a moth. The steel knife flies around, blood splashes everywhere, and the enemies in front of him fall down one after another like mowing grass.
land……
The difference in strength between the two sides was really huge. The Khitan soldiers outflanked them, like huge rings of light in the dark night, slowly closing in on the middle. The soldiers and horses of King Qing trapped in the middle were like fireflies. Their lives were flowing.
It was short-lived. They fell one by one. In the end, small rings surrounded large rings. In the center of countless haloes, only one warrior was left who was still chopping desperately. That was King Qing Yelv Sheng.
Sweat has soaked his shirt, and his body is stained with blood, his own mixed with the enemy's. Sweat and blood have wet his hair, and the wet hair sticks to his forehead, blocking his sight, but
But he never had time to wipe it. Finally, the enemy retreated. The enemies surrounding him slowly retreated, and finally formed an airtight ring around him.
Only then did Yelusheng take the time to brush his hair away and wipe away the blood and sweat that flowed to the corners of his eyes. Dingqing looked forward and saw brightly lit torches in front of him. A general on a tall war horse was surrounded by stars like a moon.
, looking at him coldly.
"Yelü Xiezhen!"
Yelu Xiezhen held the reins of the horse and stared at him without saying a word. Yelu Sheng felt his arms were sore and weak and could hardly lift the sword in his hand. He took a deep breath and reluctantly raised the severely curled blade. It had changed from a saber to a sword.
The steel knife turned into an iron ruler and shouted sternly: "Yelu Xiezhen, do you dare to fight with a certain person?"
Yelu Xiezhen didn't answer, but he waved his hand, and someone immediately presented him with a bow and an arrow.
Yelusheng was angry at first, but then he slowly showed a desperate smile. He threw away the knife in his hand, slowly raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky for a long time, and suddenly closed his eyes. What remained in his mind was,
There is only the dreamy and beautiful sea of stars.
The sound of the bow string made Yelv Li's left shoulder shake. He gritted his teeth and sneered loudly: "Yelu Xiezhen, is this the only way you can do archery? Ask your people to light up the torches more brightly, or you will ask your minions to take action.
, give me a good time."
Yelu Xiezhen still didn't speak. Yelu Sheng suddenly found that his left shoulder where he was hit by the arrow didn't hurt. Instead, he felt a sore and numb feeling. He suddenly understood. He opened his eyes and shouted angrily: "Rat, you want to catch him alive?"
Yes, do you want to cut this king into pieces in front of thousands of his subjects?"
He had dropped his weapon, so he hurriedly reached for the knife at his waist, but seven or eight nooses fell accurately from the night sky and tied him up in an instant. Yelusheng tried his best to open his eyes wide, thinking of the pain.
He cursed and wanted to struggle, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier. When he was dragged up from the ground, he was already drowsy...
Yang Hao reined up his horse and stood on the high slope, looking at the mighty Khitan soldiers and horses in the north, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He really couldn't guess what Xiao Chuo was thinking. This was not a woman whose lust and love would blind her mind. If she wanted to kill rabbits, suppress King Qing, and occupy Yinzhou, and do both at the same time, I'm afraid he would really have to invite
It is easy for God to send God away, but it is difficult for God to send you away.
Even though he had the right location and people during his introduction, he would still have a lot of headaches once he faced such a strong enemy. Then he would have to bite the bullet and deal with Zhao Guangyi. Fortunately, Yelv Xiezhen only wanted to capture Yelusheng alive.
After that, he quickly retreated. It seems that the Northern Kingdom's attention will not be focused on the northwest for a while.
Looking back and looking at Yinzhou City, Yang Hao was filled with emotion. It was really not easy to conquer Yinzhou City, but to get this Yinzhou City, no matter how big the sacrifice was, it was worth it. It took two years to build a new one.
The radiation power of a city to the surrounding areas cannot be compared to such an ancient city.
Only shrimps can be raised on the shoals, but dragons will never be raised. By occupying Yinzhou, he can penetrate the Hengshan Mountains, join the eight clans of Party Xiang, plunder the strong Tibetan horses in the west, withdraw the elite troops of He in the north, and capture the courage of the Qiang people in the Hengshan Mountains in the east.
With the capital to compete with Xiazhou Li Guangrui, the Fuzhou Zhe family and the Linzhou Yang family will truly follow his lead.
In front of him are rivers and canals, thousands of miles of fertile fields, rolling grass, and undulating mountains. When the flames of war move away from here, cattle and sheep will soon be everywhere, and horses will be herded in droves. This fertile soil will become his foundation, and he will own this vast land.
He will be of great use. Thinking of this, Yang Hao suddenly felt proud,
Zhe Ziyu rode beside him and glanced at him slightly, his eyes a little confused.
Yang Hao sat upright on the horse, looking into the distance and looking around, high-spirited. His broad forehead, straight back, and even the red cloak that hunted and followed the wind, all exuded a heroic aura. He gradually became more and more popular.
He has matured and is no longer the little servant who only knew witty words that he met in the Cheng family compound. He is now the commander-in-chief of a party, commanding an army of no less than 50,000 that can be dispatched at any time. In the northwest, such a powerful force
It's enough to be a hero.
Yang Hao seemed to notice her gaze, and suddenly looked back at her. Zhe Ziyu did not avoid it, but asked softly: "I'm afraid the news that you and the Khitans jointly attacked Yinzhou has spread back to Bianliang. Song Dangdang
The governor of the Hengshan Mountains and the captain of the inspection team colluded with foreign enemies. What do you think the Zhao Guan family will think?"
Yang Hao smiled at her and said: "Where are the foreign enemies? The Khitan and the Song Dynasty have just established diplomatic relations less than two years ago. The Khitan rebelled against Yelusheng and fled to the northwest. They killed the defense envoys of Yinzhou of the Song Dynasty and seized Yinzhou to govern their people.
As a general of the Song Dynasty, how can I just sit back and watch? It is only natural and right for me to send troops to drive away the bandits. It is understandable for the Khitan to send troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion. Our two armies have reached the same destination by different routes and are dealing with a common enemy. What crime is there? What should the officials do?
Punish me for my crime?”
Zhe Ziyu said with a pretty face: "How do you explain the Dangxiang Qi clan's sending troops to help? The Dangxiang Qi clan is a tribe under Li Guangrui's rule. Did Li Guangrui agree to your mobilizing the Dangxiang Qi clan's troops? We just arrived in Luzhou Liang
With the moon, you can drive the arrogant and rebellious Qiang people into your possession, and the Zhao Guan family will not be afraid? Is Li Guangrui willing to give up?"
Yang Hao blinked and said slyly: "This is a better explanation. What about Li Guangrui? Isn't he a minister of our Song Dynasty? The seven Dangxiang clans are all our subjects of the Song Dynasty. They volunteered to join forces with me to expel the foreigners. The court should
It's only appropriate to reward them. If you accuse them unreasonably, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the Qiang people? As for Li Guangrui..."
Yang Hao smiled contemptuously: "Li Guangrui was responsible for defending the land, but he lost it to foreign enemies and displaced the people of the Song Dynasty. He was unable to regain the lost land, so I sent troops. If he has anything to blame, Li Guangrui will do it."
So you don’t know the general things?”
A smile gradually appeared in Zhe Ziyu's eyes, and he said: "Okay, you, Captain Yang, are so benevolent and righteous that you should be rewarded, but... now that Yinzhou has been taken back, you should hand it back to Li Guangrui, right?"
Yang Hao said solemnly: "That's natural. This Yinzhou is not an ungrateful land. How can the imperial court grant the country and the country privately? But the northwest is not peaceful. In order to prevent Yinzhou from falling into the hands of outsiders again, in order not to
The people of Yinzhou are suffering from the war again, so I reluctantly take over the task of governing Yinzhou for the time being. When Mr. Li Guangrui resolves the Tubo and Uighur rebellions and is able to protect Yinzhou, I will definitely surrender Yinzhou to him.
, never delay.”
Zhe Ziyu laughed and quickly covered his mouth. Yang Hao's eyes also contained a smile: "Ziyu, you are actually very beautiful when you smile. If your mouth is not a cherry mouth, it does not necessarily mean it is not beautiful. There is no need to cover it up with a smile.
Oral."
Zhe Ziyu rolled his eyes at him and said with a faint look on his face: "Now you have used the troops of the Dangxiang Qi clan. Once Li Guangrui of Xiazhou gets the news, he will know that the big problem lies in Yinzhou, not in Tubo and Uighur. You are in Tubo and Uighur."
Although they have a certain prestige over there, your power is not enough to control them now. If Li Guangrui makes peace with them at all costs and then sends his army to take over Yinzhou, will you really hand over Yinzhou?"
"Of course, there is no doubt about this."
Yang Hao said without hesitation, and then said: "But... if at that time, the Yinzhou army and people, the Qiang people in Hengshan, the Dangxiang tribes, the Tubo people around Yinzhou, and the Uighur people did not believe that Li Guangrui had the power to protect Yinzhou,
I firmly ask this Lieutenant to shoulder this important responsibility, alas... You must know that the people's will cannot be violated, and public opinion is unstoppable. It is impossible to say... I have no choice but to shoulder this important responsibility."
Zhe Ziyu looked at him with an interesting look with her beautiful eyes. After looking at him for a long time, she sighed softly: "Lieutenant Yang, I really didn't see you being so shameless before..."
Yang Hao said seriously: "If you continue to get to know me more deeply, you will find that these are not the only advantages I have."
Zhe Ziyu wrinkled her nose and hummed softly without saying anything. Yang Hao looked at her with burning eyes, using a charming tone with a slightly magnetic hoarse voice, like a weirdo who abducted little Loli to see a goldfish and said softly.
