Monument Yangmen

Chapter 585
The Song Dynasty had to deal with the invasion of the Liao people to the south, and the war between Song and Liao would be imminent.

At that time, Yang Qi, the planner, will be able to sit in the middle and reap the benefits.

This is what Yang Qi wanted.

Yang Qi wrote to Wang Mingcheng, telling Wang Mingcheng to always report the movements of the Liao Kingdom, so that he could make adjustments to the prices of the Liao Kingdom at all times, further depleting the national strength of the Liao Kingdom.

After dealing with the government affairs sent by Wang Mingcheng, Yang Qi finally had time to catch his breath.

After sending away all the playbooks, Yang Qi heaved a sigh of relief, stood up and stretched his muscles.

In the middle of the study room, there is a nanmu table, square, with carved patterns on it.

There is a tea set on the table, and warm clouds are emitted from it.

This is what Du Jin'e just helped Yang Qi brew.

Yang Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip. It contained his favorite Nanguo Daohuaxiang tea.

The tea is green and yellowish, bitter at first and then sweet, with a long aftertaste.

Yang Qi drank three cups in a row, his stomach was full of water, and he gurgled when he shook it.

He patted his belly and prepared to pace out the door.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw Peng Pai hastily entering the courtyard.

"Master, the battle is on!"

Peng Pai bowed in front of Yang Qi excitedly.

Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, first he looked puzzled, then turned into a look of surprise, "You mean, the wild beggar tribe and the Li clan are at war?"

Peng Pai nodded heavily.

Yang Qixi's face was full of expressions, and he dragged Peng Pai into the study room. After the two sat down, Yang Qi hurriedly asked: "When did it happen, tell me in detail."

Peng Pai said excitedly: "Ten days ago, the heavy armored cavalry escorted by Yeqi Gu Guhun arrived at the Yeqi tribe; six days ago, Yeqi Ganbo had armed 1000 heavy cavalry. Four days ago, the Datong Army was ordered Entering the territory of the wild beggars, they have already connected with the wild beggars.

In the following four days, the wild beggars gathered their forces secretly, but they did not send out, even though the Li clan frequently invaded the territory of the wild beggars.

The territory of the Yeqi tribe suffered heavy losses under the harassment of the heavy armored cavalry of the Li tribe.

The whole wild beggar tribe shared the same hatred and begged the wild beggars to fight against the Li clan.

Yesterday, Yeqi Ganbo set a trap to lure the heavy armored cavalry under the command of the Li clan into the ambush circle designed by the Yeqi tribe.

Beheaded 300 heavy cavalry of the Li clan on the spot.

At the same time, the wild beggar Ganbo officially issued a surrender order, sending troops to the territory of the Li clan.

Li Jiqian of the Li clan seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and deployed heavy troops on the border of Yinxia Erzhou.

At present, the two sides have started fighting. "

Yang Qi patted the table and cheered up: "It's good to fight, it's good to fight. I'm afraid they won't fight."

In addition to being excited, Yang Qi asked again: "How about the strength of the two sides?"

Peng Pai said cautiously: "According to reports from subordinates, Yeqi Ganbo led 15 cavalry, united with [-] Datong troops, and dispatched troops to Yinxia and Xiazhou. There is no exact number of soldiers and horses under Li Jiqian's command. At present, Li Jiqian's command is exposed. The strength of the army is about [-]. The subordinates infer that Li Jiqian still has hidden strength, and it is not known where the ambush is."

Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, and said unexpectedly: "The Dingnan Army didn't show up?"

Peng Pai nodded deeply.

Yang Qi was thoughtful, "Send people to closely monitor the movements of the two ministries within the territory of the party, especially the movements of the Dingnan Army under Li Jiqian's command. The Dingnan Army is Li Jiqian's trump card, and its power should not be underestimated. No matter who is against Li Jiqian , as long as you ignore this army, you will suffer."

"This subordinate understands, this subordinate will inform you."

Yang Qi nodded, and said again: "Send someone to notify Yang Yande and order him to lead troops into Dongsheng Prefecture. This is what the wild beggar promised to us. No matter what the internal fighting in the party is, the promise will be given to us." We have to hold our things firmly in our hands.

In addition, send someone to notify Kou Zhun and tell him that the officials he summoned can be sent on the road.At the same time, you send a team of scarecrows to help them lead the way. "

After Peng Pai wrote down all Yang Qi's orders, he quickly went down to do it.

Yang Qi stood in the study, looking in the direction of Dang Xiang, thoughtful.

Old Wang Gui, who was hundreds of miles away, seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of Fuxing Mansion.

"General, what are you looking at?"

Wang Gui's soldiers followed his gaze to the direction of Fuxing Mansion, but in the eyes of the soldiers, there was nothing but a lush green pasture.

That's why I asked this question.

Hearing this, old Wang Gui paused with his hand stroking his beard, shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that when he opened his mouth to ask Qilang for a chance to train soldiers, he actually sent this old man to help the party members fight."

The soldier scratched his head, and said honestly: "General, do you feel like the soldiers that this battle is not worth fighting?"

Old Wang Gui glared at the soldiers, looked around, and saw that the people sent by the wild beggar tribe to follow them were far away, so he cursed: "You little bastards, you know what a fart. The old man has fought in the battlefield for decades , I have never seen a more cost-effective battle than this one."

The soldier scratched his head and asked curiously, "How do you say it?"

Old Wang Gui rolled his eyes and lowered his voice, "Do you know that if we send [-] troops to help the wild beggars to fight the war, what can we get?"

The soldier shook his head ignorantly.

Old Wang Gui chuckled softly, "A land of one mansion..."

The soldier's pupils gradually narrowed, and his mouth gradually enlarged.

Old Wang Gui chuckled, "Do you understand now?"

The soldiers nodded excitedly.

Even the most stupid person can understand what it means to have a house.

It means population, land, wealth, and soldiers who fight on the battlefield can get a lot of rewards.

Under the excited eyes of the soldiers, Old Wang Gui whispered again: "Not only that... Huhou also helped you win the siege battle..."

The soldiers were ecstatic and exclaimed: "That means we can also loot like the Rangers..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stared back abruptly by Old Wang Gui.

The old Wang Gui said in a low voice: "Quietly inform the brothers, keep your eyes open, be smart, don't take anything you see. Pick valuable things, and take small things, such as gold and silver..."

Self-taught soldiers, nodded frantically.

After Lao Wanggui told the soldiers, the soldiers quickly spread the word to the entire Datong army.

After hearing the news, the soldiers of the Datong Army all had red eyes and were overjoyed.

Some daring ones even came to Lao Wanggui to confirm the news.

All of them were scolded by Lao Wanggui.

However, each of these guys knew about Lao Wang Gui's character, and through the hints in Lao Wang Gui's words and eyes, he confirmed this at once.

All of a sudden, the whole army rejoiced.

The military supervisor of the Yeqi tribe, who was sent by Yeqi Ganbo to supervise the army, was a little dazed after seeing the Datong army.

Obviously this group of guys came to help, so why did they look more eager to try than the soldiers of their wild beggar tribe.

Although I don't understand why the Datong Army has become so eager to try, but this is a good thing for the wild beggars.

"General Wang, under my king's order, the army will arrive at the city of Guye in three hours. General Wang, please prepare early."

Lao Wanggui waved the command flag in his hand and shouted, "The whole army is ready to attack..."

"fierce!"

The soldiers of the Datong Army let out a fierce roar, and followed Lao Wanggui to Guye City happily.

Although the soldiers of the Datong Army are new soldiers, there are also old soldiers who have been trained for a long time among them.

The combat power is still very strong.

When Lao Wanggui arrived at the city of Guye, Yeqi Qianbo had already led the cavalry to clear away the soldiers and horses of the Li clan in the four fields. The soldiers and horses of the Li clan fought back.

In fact, the soldiers and horses of the wild beggars did not go far, but were stationed ten miles away from Guye City.

He wanted to take a closer look at whether the Datong Army, an allied army, could be used, and whether it would help him to the death.

After all, it was also the first time Yeqi Ganbo cooperated with the army of Song Dynasty.

He needs to review it.

The walls of Guye City are not high, the highest point including the city gate building is only two feet high, and most of the city walls are only one foot high.

The party members on the top of the city, with their pigtails all over their heads, nervously defended the army below the city.

Old Wang Gui had been fighting for decades, and he saw at a glance that the troops of the Li clan on the top of the city did not have much experience in defending the city wall.

In Lao Wanggui's opinion, the defense of Guye City can be said to be full of loopholes.

"The trebuchet!"

"Cloud ladder!"

"Siege crossbow!"

"Heavy armor!"

"Prepare!"

……

"Siege!"

When everything was ready, Lao Wanggui directly issued the order to attack the city.

One after another, trebuchets frantically threw boulders into the city.

The stone fell on the top of the city, and the party members on the top of the city were smashed to pieces.

The heavy armored soldiers rushed to the city wall immediately.

The jumping soldiers who climbed the city followed closely behind carrying the ladder.

After the heavy armored soldiers arrived under the city wall, they quickly set up a steel defense line to block the majestic rain of arrows from the top of the city.

There are many ladders on the top of the city, but there are very few soldiers who climbed the ladders.

"Whoosh whoosh~"

The siege crossbow weighing a thousand jun was pushed down before the war.

The crossbow guns like spears were stuck on the city wall one by one, densely packed.

After the crossbow fell on the city wall.

The jumping soldier with a horizontal knife in his mouth jumped onto the crossbow spear stuck on the city wall like an ape.

The jumping soldiers dangled on the crossbow spears, easily avoiding the rain of arrows falling from the city.

All the party members of the Li clan on the top of the city cast almost all their eyes on Tiaodangbing.

But they didn't notice that groups of soldiers carrying animal skin bags came quietly to the city.

"boom!"

After a deafening roar, the gate of Guye City fell apart.

The soldiers of the Datong Army rushed forward.

Ancient Ye City was destroyed so easily.

Old Wang Gui rode his horse and lingered at the gate of Guye City for a quarter of an hour. Looking at the dark hole in the city gate, he said with emotion: "This gunpowder is really a sharp weapon for attacking the city. From then on, the Qianlixiong Pass will no longer exist. ..."

Before that, Lao Wanggui had only heard of the name of gunpowder, but had never seen the power of gunpowder.

In order to experience the power of gunpowder, Lao Wanggui sent sixteen private letters to Yang Qi before this expedition, asking Yang Qi to support him with a little gunpowder.

Yang Qi couldn't resist him, so he secretly sent Peng Pai to escort a hundred catties of gunpowder to the Datong army.

Old Wang Gui decisively used it in the first battle of the party.

Now that he has seen the power of gunpowder with his own eyes, Lao Wang Gui also has to lament the power of gunpowder.

"Send someone down to guard the place where the gunpowder is stored secretly, and don't let idlers approach."

Lao Wanggui immediately gave an order to guard the gunpowder closely.

As for Guye City, Old Wang Gui had no intention of going in at all.

A group of poor and crazy soldiers rushed into Guye City. Lao Wanggui could guess what Guye City would be like.

A quarter of an hour after the soldiers of the Datong Army rushed into Guye City, there were flames of war everywhere in Guye City.

After seeing the bastards in the Ranger Army who are rich and rich, the soldiers of the Datong Army have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

When the first soldier of the Datong Army rushed out of Guye City with his capture, Lao Wang Gui's face was terribly dark.

"Tell me, what's the use of grabbing a pile of leather?"

The soldiers of the Datong army poked their necks and said righteously: "Sell money! General, you don't know that in Fengcheng, a piece of leather can buy a lot of money. We have six horses, how many horses are on their backs?" Hundreds of skins are worth several hundred taels."

Lao Wanggui's face turned darker, "And then?"

The soldiers of the Datong Army said happily: "Continue to rob. When we go back, our subordinates can rob dozens of horses and tens of thousands of skins. After returning to Fengcheng and selling them, the subordinates will make a fortune. Hehehe... ..."

Old Wang Gui almost jumped off his horse and strangled the guy, "So? It's not about the money in the end, why don't you just grab the money?"

"Um~"

The soldiers of the Datong Army were stunned.

At this time, Lao Wanggui's personal soldiers returned from Guye City with a full load.

On his body, was carrying an animal skin bag, which was bulging and tightly covered.

After seeing Lao Wang Gui, the soldiers came forward and said with a smile: "General, take a look."

The soldier opened the animal skin pocket, and in the animal skin pocket was a bag of jewelry, as well as some gold and silver, the most dazzling of which should be a golden knife with glittering gold.

The golden knife is inlaid with gemstones of various colors, which is very gorgeous.

While showing off the fruits of his looting, the soldiers proudly said: "General, this subordinate has done the calculations. Just this golden knife is worth thousands of taels. Plus other things, hehehe..."

As he said that, he said to Lao Wanggui with winking eyebrows: "General, do you want your subordinates to ask you to hand over [-]% of the shares to you?"

Old Wang Gui glared at the soldiers, and said in a bad mood: "Remember the rules, [-]% of the captured will be yours. The remaining [-]% will be handed over, and [-]% of it will be used to comfort the brothers who died or were injured in battle. The remaining [-]% will be converted into fields or houses for you.

As for the old man, there is no need.The old man doesn't even bother to steal money from you bastards. "

The soldier nodded cheerfully and said, "This subordinate understands, this subordinate understands..."

In the astonished eyes of the first soldier of the Datong Army who rushed out of Guye City, old Wang Gui cursed in a low voice: "Look at him, and then look at you... you won't even rob, you idiot..."
