Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 568

But outside the Hejian mansion, the Liao soldiers laid down a large formation, and the Song army didn't know the truth, so they strayed Dong Ping and Zhang Qing into it, and were captured one after another.

Yang Keshi, a brave general of the Western Army, used his two generals to cover him. After going around the formation, he charged alone. Relying on the power of heavy cavalry, he used strength to break through cleverly, and he was killed to the center of the formation. It was also exhausted, and Yang Keshi died heroically.

Taking advantage of his chaotic situation, Tong Guan dispatched 11 troops to attack in three directions.

Seeing this, Wu Yanguang hurriedly gathers up the large formation, turning it into a yin-yang, five-element and one-qi formation, fighting and retreating.

The two armies fought fiercely for no less than two hours. The Song army chased fifteen or six li without knowing it. Seeing that Wu Yanguang was unable to hold on, Yeluchun and Xiao Qian suddenly led Liao soldiers to kill, cutting off the back of the Song army, forming two sides. The trend of pinching.

So far, more than 11 Liao troops have come out to fight against Song troops.

The three Song armies were shocked at once, but the three generals of the West Road, Wang Yuan, Yang Weizhong, and Ji Jing, were able to deal with it freely: Ji Jing divided his troops to resist, and Wang and Yang stepped up their attacks, trying to defeat the remnant enemy in front of them first.

Reluctantly, just as the offensive started, there was a commotion from the Chinese army, but it was Liu Guangshi who saw the situation was not good, and made a decisive decision, recalled the brave general Gao Shixuan, and kept his own family to retreat first. They did not return to Fucheng, and less than % of the Song troops fled with them.

As soon as the middle road collapsed, the east road immediately withdrew, Wu Yanguang laughed, and ordered the master generals of the Qinglong formation, Ji'er Fulang, and Jidu, the master generals of the Qinglong formation, Yelu Dehua, to set up the mother and son Qinglong formation to resist Wang Yuan and Yang Weizhong, and personally took the The remaining soldiers and horses stormed the east road.

The two armies of Song and Liao were strangled at one place, the sky was dark and the sky was dark, Jiangxia Lingling Jiedu envoy Yang Wen was fighting, and ran into the leader of the Ziqi Xuanwu Formation, Yelu Dezhong, head-on.

The emperor's nephew was young and energetic, and he wanted to do something. When he saw the white-bearded veteran in golden armor, he was overjoyed.

Little did he know that the veteran Yang Wen, also a descendant of Duke Yang Ling with the golden sword, lived in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, learned martial arts, and was nicknamed "Tiger in the Road". No one can stop him, it was Yang Wen who made the move, and he was able to control him just now.

Yang Wen used only a dozen spears to kill Yelu Dezhong, who was sweating all over. He was about to kill the Liao general when Yelu Derong and Wuyan Yanshou both killed him. Halberd, three young generals of the Liao Kingdom, surrounded the old Jiedu and killed them fiercely.

Mei Zhan, the envoy of the Runan Festival in Yingzhou, known as "Mei Dalang", fell into the grass on Wuyi Mountain back then, and with the three-pointed knife in his palm, he was powerful in the south of the world. Seeing that Yang Wen was outnumbered, he wanted to help.

Unexpectedly, the leader of the Xuanwu Formation, Qu Li, came out with a black horse and black armor, and black Yintang, and he yelled: "Old Song Dog, don't go, and try my knife!"

It turned out that this person also used the three-pointed knife, so he stopped Mei Dalang immediately, and killed him with two swords at the same time.

This Qu Li Chu Qing is the number one brave general under Wu Yanguang, the knife in his hand is unfolded, the cold light is cold, and the murderous aura is transpiring. If you talk about Mei Dalang in the past, he is naturally not inferior to him. Now that he is old after all, it is him Downwind.

Qu Li came out of the clear to gain momentum and was relentless, he fought fiercely with each other, just as he was enjoying his kill, suddenly a sharp arrow pierced through the air, pierced his cheek, and shattered two rows of molars, the fellow groaned in pain, Mei Zhan took the opportunity to fight back, cut off his arm and head again, then looked in the direction of the arrow, and said loudly: "Old Xiang, the surname Mei owes you my life."

It was none other than Langya Pengcheng Jiedu envoy, Xiang Yuanzhen, the "Iron Cavalry God Shooter" who shot the cold arrow.

Hearing Mei Zhan thank you, Xiang Yuanzhen laughed, took another arrow and put it on the string, aiming at Wuyan Yanshou, to break the siege of "blockers".

When he was about to shoot, Wu Yanguang saw that he was going to kill his beloved son, so he hurriedly shot an arrow.

At this time there were killing sounds, shouts like waves, and the sound of the bowstring was completely covered. Xiang Yuanzhen felt pain in his ribs. He lowered his head and saw that it was an iron arrow with phoenix feathers, which penetrated into the iron armor. Knowing that his life was in danger, he gritted his molars. , struggling to shoot the arrow, Wuyan Yanshou faced the door in the middle of the morning, somersaulted and fell off the horse.

When Wu Yanguang saw his son fell off his horse, he felt great grief, and with a strange cry, he charged with his halberd. Mei Dalang was about to fight, but Xiang Yuanzhen rushed to kill him first, and shouted: "You can't do anything, brother, retreat!"

After Mei Dalang knew that he was going to die, he waved his old tears and rode his horse to kill Yang Wen. Together, they killed Yelu Derong and Yelu Dezhong, turned around and left. .
While running, three Liao generals, Lou Jingou Aliyi, Ghost Jinyang Wang Jing, and Xinyuehu Peizhi, blocked the way. The two old Jiedu shouted in unison: "Whoever stands in my way dies!" Going up, the three generals saw that the moves of the two were desperate moves that would hurt both sides, they dared not resist, and they were beaten through the siege and left.

With an arrow wound, Xiang Yuanzhen fought Wu Yanguang with a stiletto, but Wu Yanguang roared angrily and knocked off the old Jiedu from his horse.

So far, Song soldiers on the East Road have turned them into painted cakes, and only more than people were able to escape back to Fucheng, and the rest would have fled if they had not been killed.

The soldiers and horses of the three routes broke down in two routes. The elite soldiers and strong generals of the Liao army all went to the west to besiege and kill the Song army.

I was going to meet Wang Yuan and the other two, but Yelu Dashi led the four-day gods to kill them. After several conflicts with Ji Jing, Xu Wei released a crossbow and shot Ji Jing's right arm, and the double-edged ax fell to the ground. , Yelu Dashi cut off Jijing's head with a swift knife.

Poor Hedong fierce general, so far he died in Hebei.

Later generations have a poem, which singly praises Yang Keshi and Ji Jing, two powerful generals of the Western Army.

In October, the westerly wind is blowing wildly, and the general is full of decisive battle spirit.

The golden spear is like a tiger concentrating its killing intent, and the iron armor is like a tide shining coldly.

Ma Tahu'er has a strong heart, and his soul returns to the blood of the Han Dynasty.

The children of Hedong should be Rongji, and Quanxia has never been ashamed of his surname Yang!

Wang Yuan and Yang Weizhong fought desperately, each wounded more than ten places, and finally killed the mother and son Qinglong Formation, Fanjiang Zhier Fulang left first when he saw that something was wrong, Yelu Dehua was a step slower, and Yang Weizhong swung his troops in. Just stopped. .
During the battle, Wang Yuan killed him and chopped him in two with a knife.

The two generals were all covered in blood, but they were laughing at each other. They were rejoicing, and the rout of soldiers came behind, crying and reporting: "General Ji Jing died in battle. The Liao army is tearing up the ground and killing the future."

Yang Weizhong's expression changed immediately, and he shouted: "Don't be afraid! There is a small mountain in front of us. We will fight up the mountain and wait for reinforcements. Hejian Mansion still has more than soldiers and horses. If the general is about to come out, we will be able to cooperate from inside to outside and turn defeat into victory. "

Wang Yuan wiped off his blood and sweat, panting, looked at him sideways and said, "You have been with the commander in chief for a long time, but now that he has been defeated so badly, if he is willing to send a soldier to meet him, I will lose my wife to you."

Yang Weizhong said anxiously: "If this is the case, what should I do?"

Wang Yuan sighed: "I Song people are not weaker than Liao people. When we killed Han, we were never afraid of death and greedy for life. We only wished that we could not be united. If his Chinese army did not retreat first, how would the situation be like this? Now that there are no people and no horses, if we go back to fight , In vain to die, what I mean is, the Liao soldiers are behind us now, I might as well give it my all, if I die, my fortune will be bad, if I succeed by luck, you and I are both heroes of the country!"

Yang Weizhong wondered: "The plan will be released?"

Wang Yuan looked to the north, and stretched out his hand to point: "You and I simply concentrate our troops and go straight to Youzhou! The so-called death and rebirth, if he devotes all his strength to attack our country, the rear will be empty. If we take Youzhou in one fell swoop State, things reversed."

Yang Weizhong was stunned, but when he looked towards the direction of Hejian Mansion, the flags of the Liao Army were like clouds, and if he turned his head at this moment, he would never be able to kill him. He gritted his teeth, nodded fiercely and said: "Forget it, this is the end of the matter, it is a narrow escape. The situation, just fight it back."

The two immediately tidied up their troops and rushed forward. The Liao army behind only said that he was in a panic, and then covered and killed dozens of miles, beheading countless Song troops, but in the end Yang Weizhong and Wang Yuan led more than 4000 soldiers and horses and fled into the forest to the north.

The Liao people never imagined that these two men were so bold and imaginative that they wanted to attack Youzhou. They only thought that he would find a way to go back to his own country after entering the mountains and forests. , Besieged Hejian Mansion.

Not to mention the whereabouts of Yang Weizhong and Wang Yuan, just talk about the Hejian mansion, Tong Guan was watching the battle on the city, watching the Song army kill Wu Yanguang back again and again, he was very happy, until the two armies were out of sight, So he sent dozens of scouts out of the city to check on the situation.

Not long after, the spies reported that the Liao army had all ambushed, and all the soldiers and horses of the three routes were besieged. Tong Guan was shocked, and if he hadn't supported the city wall, he would have almost collapsed.

It was easy to recover, and complained repeatedly: "What do I say? What do I say? This commander has told you again and again that the Liao people must have treacherous schemes, and there must be treacherous schemes. You wait one by one and only care about sending troops. Now Sure enough, he was ambushed, but what should he do?"

All the generals were also surprised. Yang Kesheng fainted from crying when he saw his brother died in battle. He woke up now, patted his armor and shouted: "Commander, this is the end of the matter, why not take advantage of the situation and fight him decisively! The terrain here is flat and there is no terrain to use. So what if we are besieged? It’s just a field battle! Our army is no less than Liaogou, so we simply use all the troops in the city, and everyone will decide the outcome.”

Wang Huan and Zhang Kai looked at each other, nodded and said: "Commander, this plan is feasible! He seems to have surrounded our army, but the current situation, if I go out here again, won't I surround him again? I can't wait any longer. The Liao people have lost their hands and feet, so if you put all your strength into a fight, you will be successful in one fell swoop."

Ma Gong nodded repeatedly, and said with emotion: "Marshal, the last general please be the vanguard!"

Tong Guan shook his head and waved his hands again and again, and sighed, "How reckless what you said! Is it gambling for family and country affairs? You just want to have a good time, and you never thought about my difficulties—"

Speaking of this, he pretended to be bitter, and stumbled: "I have been entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the officials. If I am defeated, how can I have the face to see the officials? Besides, since I made a mistake in the Liao army before, how can I make a mistake again? The reason is wrong, don’t you think that the Liao people can’t think of a decisive battle outside the city? If he still has a second hand, what do you wait for?”

Ma Gong listened to his babbling, the more he listened, the more angry he became, he suppressed his anger and begged for permission: "Commander, even though the Liao soldiers are much wiser, they can't conjure men and horses out of thin air, and moreover, it's a decisive battle without him. The general must meet the besieged army, and the final general is willing to take his troops and horses out of the city to meet them."

Tong Guan shook his head and refused, and said coldly: "There are only one hundred thousand soldiers left in the city, if you make mistakes when you send troops, wouldn't it be more empty?"

Ma Gongzhi wanted to persuade him again, but suddenly he saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, a Biao army threw away his helmet and armor, rushed over, and said in a broken voice: "That's all! The 11 army, can they be killed and scattered in an instant?"

When the Biao army came close, he saw Liu Guangshi with disheveled hair, beating his horse like flying, throwing the people behind him away from the boss, and screaming loudly: "Open the door, open the door, our army is defeated, our army is defeated!"

The sharp voice continued to resound, and Ma Gongzhi only felt his own strength, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He sat down on the ground along the city wall, tears rolled down, and cried loudly: "The 11 army! It was defeated in an instant. What kind of bird battle!"

The defender hurriedly opened the door. Liu Guangshi jumped off his horse, stretched his long legs, ran up to the top of the wall, and cried and prostrated himself: "I regret not listening to the commander-in-chief's good words, so I was defeated! Please order the commander-in-chief to behead the last general." , to warn the future."

Tong Guan waved his hands and sighed: "It's not your fault alone, although you are willing to take the responsibility, the commander-in-chief's treatment is fair, and there is no reason for you to bear it alone. I will plead guilty to the officials for this matter."

Not long after, Mei Zhan and Yang Wen led thousands of people back, and they were all in a panic.

The two came to see Liu Guangshi from the city, and they couldn't help but say that they grabbed him and wanted to beat him. Liu Guangshi hurriedly broke free and hid behind Tong Guan with his long legs.

Tong Guan yelled: "What kind of decency!"

The two veterans cried: "Commander Mingjian, if the troops in the middle hadn't retreated without a fight, how could we have suffered such a big defeat? Even if it is difficult to win, if we all fight together in one place, how could we lose our troops so much?"

Liu Guangshi was in a hurry, and immediately opened his mouth to argue. He was quite easy to speak, and pushed away the responsibility with a few words. How could the two veterans agree?The three of them quarreled and quarreled endlessly, Tong Guan said angrily: "Don't bother to talk about it, I'm innocent, I'll see for myself! I'll bring Wang Yuan and the others back and we'll talk about it."

After waiting for more than two hours, the Liao army marched ten miles outside the city to set up camp, but a lieutenant general, Fang Ritu Xie Wu, came to the city on horseback, stood outside the range of the bow and arrow, and shouted: " Hey! The eunuch of the Song Dynasty listens to the truth, my king is kind enough to teach you to return these heads, and I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, otherwise the city will be destroyed, and no chicken or dog will be left behind."

After saying that, he threw the head in his arms and rolled around on the ground. This time, he sneered and galloped away.

Tong Guan sent people down the tower and picked up a few heads. They were the heads of Yang Keshi, Ji Jing and Xiang Yuanzhen.

Seeing this, Yang Kesheng cried loudly and fainted again.

Tong Guan didn't say a word, his face was pale.

Everyone thought that after this battle, the Liao army would have to rest for a few days before they would attack the city aggressively, but they never expected that the Liao army would send troops to steal the city that night.

Yelu Dashi led only thirteen generals in the twenty-eight nights, leading five hundred elites, took advantage of the night to hide under the city wall, climbed up the city wall with flying tigers, forcibly killed them under the city, opened the city gate, Xiao Qian led his troops More than ten thousand Xi soldiers rushed in.

In the panic, the Song army didn't know how many Liao soldiers came. Tong Guan first withdrew from the city and went straight to Lingzhou.

I only have pity on the Song soldiers in the city. Only escaped, and all the rest were trapped in the city.

Tong Guan stayed in Lingzhou for a day, Liu Yanqing and others came to meet him one after another, but he was afraid that Liao soldiers would follow him, so he hurriedly abandoned Lingzhou and went straight to Daming Mansion.

Huang Wenbing was shocked when he learned that, he quickly contacted Li Yun and three people from Zengtou City, and began to transfer the population, horses, goods and money to Shandong.

In this way, more than half of Hebei was under the front of Khitan soldiers, and only Song general Wang Zhishang was guarding an ancient city in Cangzhou.

Yeluchun and others beat Tong Guan and grabbed a lot of territory. They couldn't help but feel complacent. They were about to arrange troops to attack Shandong, but Guo Yaoshi rushed to the front of the army and brought the sad news that the West Wind Army swept through Youyun!
This is exactly: it is difficult for a man to be rigid without eggs, and a child has no defense at all.The fierce generals and elite soldiers are all wasted, and the people in the city are sad.
