Monument Yangmen

Chapter 742 Surround the spot to fight for aid? (Cao Cao and Yang Qi wish everyone a happy New Year! Happy New Year!)
After the Liao army retreated, the red sun in the sky was covered by red clouds.

Yang Qi did not order his soldiers to continue the pursuit, after a day of fierce fighting, the soldiers were all tired and needed to rest.

"Ming Jin withdraws troops!"

After giving the order to withdraw troops, Yang Qi led his soldiers back to Tongtai Pass to rest.

Peng Pai led the scarecrows and the peasants to clean up the battlefield, and gathered the prisoners of the Liao army by the way.

Although the Liao people are brave, it doesn't mean that there are no softies among them.

After all, not all Liao people are willing to die for Daliao like Qin Le, and many people want to live.

Those who were dispersed during the battle, those who were carried by crazy horses and ran wildly in front of Tongtai Pass, and those who knelt down and begged to surrender, all became Yang Qi's captives.

Yang Qi is not a murderer, he also has enough food and grass to feed the captives, so there is no need to kill the captives.

After Yang Qi returned to Tongtai Pass, he ordered the Huotou army to start cooking.

And then there's a massive carnival.

The soldiers and horses of the Southern Kingdom never know what is polite and what is shy.

As long as there is food and drink, they become enthusiastic and unrestrained.

They were born in the mountains, straight-tempered, and not so fancy, as long as you smile at them, they can warmly call you brothers and sisters.

Most of the members of the Cavalry Army came from all corners of the country. Everyone got together, and after a long time of mutual infection, they became very enthusiastic.

On the contrary, the members of the Yanmen Army, due to their special status, seemed a little restrained when celebrating with everyone.

A group of them gathered in a circle and huddled alone in a corner of Tongtai Pass, watching with envy the men from the southern country and the cavalry with their arms crossed, enthusiastically singing, dancing, drinking, and punching.

"Why don't you take your brothers to play?"

A curious voice sounded not far from the Yanmen Army.

This sentence is a question, and the object of the question is He Jing, the leader of the Yanmen Army sitting in the front of the Yanmen Army soldiers.

He Jing raised his head suddenly when he saw the person coming, he was startled, hurriedly dropped the wine jar and meat in his hand, patted the dust off his body, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, He Jing, see Tiger Marquis."

The officers and soldiers of the Yanmen Army behind He Jing saw Yang Qi and hurriedly stood up to salute.

Yang Qi held the wine jar and waved his hands with a smile, "You don't need to salute anymore. Don't you feel tired after fighting fiercely all day?"

The officers and soldiers of the Yanmen Army stared wide-eyed, not knowing how to answer this question.

According to their past experience in the hands of the Liao people, they should say that they are not tired at this time.

After all, the aristocratic generals in the upper echelon of the Liao Kingdom like to hear good things.

"No...not tired..."

A general lowered his head and replied in a deep voice.

"Hahaha……"

Yang Qilang laughed loudly, pointing at the general who was talking, he said: "Liar! The soldiers and horses of the four northwestern prefectures don't like to tell lies in front of the superiors. If you are tired, you are tired. If you are not tired, you are not tired.

I feel tired after a day of fighting today, how can you not be tired?

When attacking the Liao army camp, you ran more than the cavalry.

Those with four legs can't outrun your two legs.

Hahaha……"

Yang Qi made jokes, which amused the soldiers of the Yanmen Army.

Everyone scratched their heads and smiled honestly.

Yang Qi raised the wine jar in his hand and said in a loud voice: "Today's fierce battle, your Yanmen army showed your prestige despite the weak equipment, even though you faced several times the enemy, you didn't take a step back.

I am proud of you that you did not fall under the name of our Northwest Four Prefectures. "

"Dry!"

Yang Qi raised the wine jar, without saying a word, started to drink it.

In an instant, the eyes of the soldiers of the Yanmen Army turned red.

This is the feeling of being recognized, this is the feeling of being trusted.

Ever since they voted for Yang Qi, they always felt that they were ahead of others.

It's not that some of the soldiers under Yang Qi's command discriminated against them, but that they felt that they were Liao soldiers in the past, and they were traitors.

Therefore, they must strive to be the first in every battle, and must fight to the death in every battle.

They just want to wash away their past shame through military exploits again and again.

Even though their equipment is inferior to others, they are not afraid of any enemy.

Facts have proved that their efforts were not in vain, and Yang Qi recognized them.

With red eyes, He Jing raised the wine jar and said in a trembling voice, "Brothers, do it!"

"Dry!"

"..."

After drinking a jar of wine, Yang Qi laughed happily and said, "Have fun!"

"Snapped!"

The wine jar was smashed to the ground by him.

Yang Qi yelled loudly, "Jiao Zan, bring me some wine."

Jiao Zan, who was bragging with Huang Quan on his shoulders, heard Yang Qi's call, and immediately left Huang Quan behind, carrying a wine jar, and ran up to Yang Qi, flirting: "Huhou, your wine... "

Yang Qi picked up the wine jar, sniffed it, and kicked Jiao Zan fiercely, "You bastard, are you fooling me with fruit wine?"

Jiao Zan froze for a moment, and was about to refute when he suddenly saw Yang Qi's vague extension.

He froze again, and then understood what Yang Qi meant.

Yang Qi kicked him again, "Get lost..."

Jiao Zan rolled quickly, but the direction he rolled was no longer where Huang Quan was, but where He Jing was.

Jiao Zan was rough but subtle, he understood Yang Qi's meaning with just one look.

Yang Qi asked him to greet the soldiers of the Yanmen Army to form a group with everyone.

Jiao Zan leaned in front of He Jing and yelled: "Brother He, what's the point of you drinking alone here? Call your brothers, and it will be lively if everyone gathers together to drink."

As he said that, without waiting for He Jing to refuse, he pulled He Jing and a familiar deputy general of the Yanmen Army to join the other crowd.

The other Yanmen Army followed naturally.

Soon, the Yanmen Army became one with everyone.

Yang Qi smiled knowingly, threw the wine jar that Jiao Zan handed over to Zamahe Qingmu in disgust, and leisurely returned to the place where he was sitting.

The three brothers of the Yang family sat alone in a corner of Guancheng. Seeing Yang Qi coming back, Yang San said cheerfully, "What? The hearts of the Yanmen Army have recovered?"

Yang Qi nodded, "A small trick won't make it to the stage."

Yang San smiled, "The simpler the method, the more effective it is. From now on, you will officially go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. If you can win the Sixteen States of Yanyun, the territory you control will become even bigger. At that point, you'll be doing this kind of thing a lot."

Yang Qi took the opportunity to sit down, and said helplessly: "I don't like this feeling very much, it feels like I'm lying."

Yang San couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, pointing at Yang Qi and shaking his head frequently.

Yang Wu was bored with a bowl of wine, and hurriedly said: "Can you stop talking about those dirty things. With this time, we should talk about the next step of the war. Also, the cannon, seventh brother, you can give it to me carefully." Let’s talk about it, brother. How much do you have of that thing? Can you get 10,000+? If there is 10,000+ of that thing, who else is our opponent in this world?”

"Pfft~"

Yang Qi had just drank a bowl of water, and when he heard Yang Wu's words, he spit out the water from his mouth.

"10,000+ cannons? When you think of cannons as trees on Zhongyi Mountain, you can plant them if there is nothing to do, and then cut them down for wood after two years? Those hundreds of cannons are worth nearly 300 million taels. 10,000+ respects How much? Who can afford that much money?"

Yang Qi yelled at Yang Wu angrily.

Yang Wu wasn't angry when he heard the words, he just chuckled to himself, he didn't expect that the artillery was so expensive.

Yang Sancha opened the topic and asked, "Seventh brother, why do I think the gunpowder used in artillery is far stronger than black powder? How did you come up with such a terrible thing?"

Yang Qi clicked his lips and said with emotion: "It's all thanks to the Daoist sect..."

Black powder is easy to make, but yellow granular gunpowder is not so easy to make.

Originally, Yang Qi didn't think about making this thing.

After all, his chemistry foundation is still in junior high school.

However, there is no way out.

Once when Yang Qi went to visit Zhong Fang, he discovered that this Daoist master was doing alchemy.

Then in the alchemy room where the plant was planted, chemicals for making yellow granular gunpowder were found.

All of a sudden, he helped Yang Qi solve the difficulty of making yellow granular gunpowder.

Even though many years have passed since this incident, Yang Qi couldn't help sighing when he recalled this incident.

The Taoist priests who know how to make alchemy are completely a group of chemists who have been delayed by their beliefs.

"The Daoist sect has a profound background. It's not surprising that they can produce such powerful things."

Yang San commented solemnly.

Taoism has a thousand-year heritage and is enduring.

Moreover, in this feudal society, Taoism is often mythologized.

No one would find it strange that anything different from ordinary people or similar to Tianwei was pushed to Daomen.

Yang Qi didn't go to explain this matter to Yang San either.

After talking about the artillery, they began to talk about the next battle.

Yang San said hesitantly: "Brother Yeluxiu was forced to retreat by us this time, and he lost a lot of people, so it can be regarded as a traumatic injury. From what I know about him, he will never let it go. So, continue How are we going to fight this battle?"

Yang Wu shouted: "How else can we fight? If we want to take the Sixteen States of Yanyun, we can only fight hard. If we don't hurt the Liao Kingdom, even if we occupy the Sixteen States of Yanyun, there will be no peace. .”

Yang Wu's words are very pertinent.

It doesn't hurt the Liao people, even if Yang Qizhan takes over the Yanyun sixteen states, the Liao people will frequently go south.

It is very troublesome to deal with the attacks of the Liao people every day.

It would be better to beat the Liao people once, break their bones, and make them unable to go south.

Yang Qi frowned and said: "Although our armor is far superior to the Liao people, we are still a bit weaker than the Liao people in terms of military strength. Moreover, we have no foundation in the Sixteen States of Yanyun, where the Liao people have operated 70 For many years, he has more or less prestige, so it is not easy to hurt Liao people."

Yang Wu scratched his head irritably, and said, "I can't think of any good way. I think if I want to hurt Liao people, I can only hit them head-on."

Yang San bowed his head in deep thought, but didn't speak.

Yang Qi questioned: "Did the third brother think of something?"

Yang San hesitated for a moment, and said: "When there is a big difference in the strength of the troops, if you want to win, if you want to win a big victory, you can only take risks and make strange moves."

"A surprise move?"

Yang Wu and Yang Qi looked at Yang San suspiciously.

Yang San said solemnly: "Brother Yeluxiu will definitely retreat to Youzhou City after he withdraws his troops from Tongtai Pass."

Yang San took out a simple map and spread it on the table, pointing to Youzhou City, "Youzhou City is here, Jizhou is in the northeast of Youzhou City, Yuguan not far from Jizhou, there is a team led by Han Derang 10 horses
If they can sneak attack Jizhou and take Jizhou, they can cut off their connection.

Tanzhou is just north of Youzhou City. If you can take Tanzhou, you can cut off the connection between Brother Yeluxiu and the Liao Kingdom.

Yanzhou is in the northwest of Youzhou City. If Yanzhou can be captured, the connection between Xinwu Erzhou and Youzhou City can be cut off. "

Yang Qi thought about the tactics given by Yang San.

This is a set of tactics similar to the siege.

Youzhou City is the point that is besieged, and the other three parties are the places that can come to help.

If you count the army led by Yang Qi located in the south of Youzhou City.

The entire Quartet of Youzhou City is almost completely in the hands of Yang Qi.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under Yeluxiu's command will be trapped in Youzhou.

At that time, the only tactic Yeluxiu can choose is to lead the crowd to break through.

But no matter which direction he breaks out from, the soldiers and horses from the other three parties can rush to help quickly.

In the end, Brother Yeluxiu will definitely be made into dumplings.

The benefits of this tactic are not only that.

For example, Han Derang, who has captured Jizhou in the northeast and is besieging Shi Shouxin, is likely to return to help.

At that time, the soldiers under Shi Shouxin's command will be rescued.

Yang Qi created an extra new force out of thin air.

And if Yanzhou is taken down and the Xinwu two states are contained, Yang Da's [-] soldiers and horses in Yunzhou can start to march north without any scruples, clearing the northern line of Yanyun sixteen states.

By that time, nearly half of Yanyun Sixteen States will fall into Yang Qi's hands.

After Yang Da took Xinwu, he could surprise Ruzhou and cut off all the back routes of the Liao army, and he could also march into Yanzhou and increase the strength of the Liao army to encircle him.

Once the siege is formed, brother Yeluxiu will be finished.

However, this tactic has a flaw.

"Once the Liao army in Youzhou City and the Liao army in other places attack from both sides, the soldiers and horses we send out are very likely to be wiped out. Especially the soldiers and horses going to seize Tanzhou are the most dangerous."

Before Yang Qi could speak, Yang Wu helped Yang Qi speak out.

Yang San said solemnly: "In Jizhou, with Shi Shouxin in Yuguan, we can't be encircled and attacked. Shi Shouxin has already been defeated once. Once he escapes, he will never ignore the Liao army who turned his back on them.

There is no need to worry about Yanzhou. Yanzhou is close to the city wall of Zhao during the Warring States period. Once it is attacked by a large army, as long as it retreats to the city wall, and with the help of Yunzhou soldiers and horses, it will be safe.

Therefore, only Tanzhou is really dangerous. Once the soldiers and horses responsible for capturing Tanzhou are trapped, they must either defeat the enemy or wipe out the entire army. "

After a pause, Yang San took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "In my estimation, if the plan fails, the soldiers and horses in Tanzhou will almost die."
