Monument Yangmen

Chapter 748 Dilemma
Yang Liu retreated to the city wall of the ancient Zhao State. After Yelu Xiezhen broke through Yanzhou City, he got supplies and chased all the way to the ancient Zhao State city wall.

The two sides once again launched a tragic offensive and defensive battle.

However, Yelu Xiezhen could no longer get cheap from Yang Liu.

The ancient city wall was originally used to resist the enemy's army, and it has always been a place to station troops. Yang Liu's occupation of the ancient Zhao country's city wall is equivalent to occupying a natural shield wall.

Without traitors and traitors, Yelu Xiezhen led an army of 20, and wanted to take down the city wall of the ancient Zhao Kingdom from Yang Liu, but he had no chance at all.

In addition, the old man who retreated to the city wall of the ancient Zhao Kingdom with Yang Liu spent all his wealth to help Yang Liu replace enough food and grass for Yang Liu's soldiers and horses to eat for more than a month. Yang Liu can completely consume Yelu Xiezhen .

As long as Yang Liu can't hold on, Yelu Xiezhen has nothing to do with Yang Liu.

What made Yelu Xiezhen helpless was that he could not retreat yet.

He must stay here and check with Yang Liu.

The battlefield on Yang Liu's side has turned into a situation of mutual containment, but Yang Da's side is advancing triumphantly.

Without the protection of the army, the new Wuwei Sanzhou is no match for Yang Da's powerful troops.

Relying on the advantages of gunpowder, Yang Da attacked cities and villages along the way, and at the same time recruited surrenders. The new Wuwei Sanzhou was easily captured by Yang Da.

When Yang Qi's order was delivered, Yang Dagang took over Xinzhou City and was feasting the soldiers in Xinzhou City.

"Brothers, do it!"

Yang Da raised his wine bowl and shouted boldly.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers followed suit continuously.

A large amount of wine and meat was sent to Yang Da's camp by car, and nearly ten thousand soldiers of the Huotou army were cooking meat non-stop.

Some people may have doubts, saying that there are only 10,000+ people under Yang Da's command, why it suddenly became hundreds of thousands.

The extra soldiers and horses were naturally recruited by Yang Da.

Another part is to respond to Yang Qi's call to crusade against Yanyun sixteen prefectures, and forcefully squeeze in the Han people in Liaodi.

In short, the soldiers and horses under Yang Da's command conquered the land of the three states, not only did not decrease, but broke through the 30 mark in one fell swoop.

Its majesty is far more powerful than Yang Qi's Chinese army.

While Yang Da was drinking happily, the deputy general in the army handed a letter with Yang Qi's seal to Yang Da.

"General, Hu Hou urgently ordered!"

Hearing this, Yang Da quickly put down his wine bowl and went to answer the urgent order.

As soon as he stretched his hand halfway, someone snatched him first.

An old hand stretched out, grabbed the letter before Yang Da.

Yang Da raised his eyes and glanced at the person who robbed him of the letter, then lowered his head in a very bad temper, and drank down his head.

In the entire army, and even the entire Yang family, there is only one person who can make Yang Da lose his temper.

Old Yang!

The reason why Lao Yang appeared in Yang Da's army is also related to the fact that Yang Da's army recruited too many surrenders.

Due to the rapid expansion of soldiers and horses in Yang Dajun, most of the soldiers and horses in the new army do not understand the various military regulations of the four northwestern prefectures.

So Yang Da had no choice but to write to the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy in the Fuxing Mansion, and mobilize the officers trained in the school from the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy to listen to them.

And the military officers trained in Fuxing Wuyuan are not enough for Yang Day at all.

Yang Da went out for four days and sent back four letters from dignitaries.

The training officers in the Fuxing Military Academy were all taken out at once.

As the dean of the Fuxing Martial Arts Academy and the minister of the Military Machine Pavilion, Lao Yang, who had no student education and had nothing to do, took his ministers from the Military Machine Pavilion all the way north to Yang Dajun.

Yang Daneng won the new Wuwei Sanzhou so quickly, which also has the credit for Lao Yang's advice.

With Lao Yang's many years of experience in the battlefield, he can easily judge the weakness of a city's defense from the defense of a city.

"Huh~"

Seeing the urgent order sent by Yang Qi, Lao Yang cried out in astonishment, which aroused the curiosity of others.

Lao Yang casually handed the urgent order in his hand to the crowd who were waiting with their necks outstretched, and said in a slightly thick old voice: "The order will be passed down, and the troops will be divided into three groups, and the soldiers and horses will be led by the old man to control Ruzhou to Fuxing." The Great Wall on the front line prevents the Liao army from rushing to rescue Swallow City and Tanshan.

Go south all the way to help Yang Yanzhao, and go north to attack Ruzhou on the other way, taking the opportunity to occupy Gubeikou. "

Yang Da read Yang Qi's order, got up and smiled wryly: "Father, that's not what the seventh brother's order said..."

Lao Yang's eyes widened immediately, and he shouted: "Is it your wings that are stiff, or Yang Yansi's wings? You don't listen to what the old man said?"

Yang Da's face became even more bitter, "But...the matter is very important..."

With a dark face, Lao Yang shouted angrily: "It is precisely because the matter is so important that the old man made such an arrangement. Since you have decided to besiege Brother Yeluxiu and have a chance to attack Tanzhou, why not directly attack Gubeikou?"

As long as Gubeikou is seized, it is easy to take the initiative and cut off the support of the Liao people.

As long as 10 people are stationed at Gubeikou, even if the Liao people come to aid with a million troops, they will return home without a feather.

When the time comes, Brother Yeluxiu in Youzhou City, won't you just let you flatten and make rounds?
There are also Yanzicheng and Tanshan on the northern line, both of which are military cities of the Liao army. Once the Liao army is blocked at Gubeikou, the Liao army will definitely send troops from Yanzicheng and Tanshan, cross the Great Wall from Ruzhou to Fuxingguan, and attack your rear. .

When the time comes, will you be Gu Tou or Gu Ju? "

Yang Da scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Father, since the seventh brother ordered him so, he naturally has his plan..."

Lao Yang said disdainfully: "What are your plans, I don't know yet? Don't forget, I taught you the art of war, and even your martial arts. Just do as the old man said. If something goes wrong matter, the old man bears it."

Yang Da nodded helplessly, "Okay..."

Immediately, Yang Da said to the lieutenant general: "Go down and pass the order, do as my father said."

"My subordinate understands."

Following Yang Da's military order, it was conveyed to the army.

Soon, the banquet in the army was over.

The 30 soldiers and horses were divided into three groups.

Fifty thousand soldiers and horses marched southward to the city wall of the ancient Zhao State to help Yang Yanzhao.

Lao Yang personally led an army of 15 to control the Great Wall from Ruzhou to Fuxingguan.

Yang Da brought 10,000+ soldiers and horses and went north to Confucian state to conquer Confucian state.

Just when Yang Da led his army to Ruzhou.

Tanzhou City.

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Yang San also got Yang Qi's urgent order.

Yang San attacked Tanzhou in a sneak attack. Relying on the advantage of artillery, it took less than two days to break through Tanzhou.

After another three days of sorting out, Tanzhou is now completely controlled by Yang San.

After Yang San received Yang Qi's urgent order, he laughed loudly, "Yelu Mozhi led nearly [-] soldiers and horses to escort Xiao Zhuo and the little emperor of Liao Kingdom back to the north. This is really great news. If they can be captured For Xiao Zhuo and the young emperor of the Liao Kingdom, the victory of this battle is decided."

Putting away the urgent order, Yang San clasped his hands behind his back and said in a loud voice: "Send the order, the whole army must be assembled."

In Tanzhou City, the soldiers and horses of Yang's three tribes, who had rested for three days, quickly assembled in one place.

Yang San decided to take the initiative.

On the line from Tanzhou to Shunzhou, there is a large mountain running north-south.

Yang San chose a long and narrow ancient road as an ambush.

A day later, Yang San led his soldiers and horses to the ancient road to ambush.

Two days passed.

Yelumo only led heavy troops to escort Empress Dowager Xiao and the young emperor Yelu Longxu to the ancient road on the edge of the mountain in a hurry.

Nearly [-] soldiers and horses guard a luxurious frame.

Inside the frame, Empress Dowager Xiao frowned preoccupied.

The little emperor Yelu Longxu was in a bad mood after seeing his mother, so he didn't dare to play around, holding his little nephew in his arms, pretending to be a clay bodhisattva with a stern face.

However, if you look closely at his eyes, you can see his restlessness.

Although he didn't move physically, his eyes kept rolling up and down, teasing the little nephew in his arms.

Empress Dowager Xiao saw Yelu Longxu's small movements from the corner of her eye, and gave him a slightly reproachful look.

Yelu Longxu was shocked all over, and looked forward without squinting.

"Wipe only..."

Empress Dowager Xiao lifted the curtain of the carriage and let out a soft cry.

Yelumo, who was so old, straddled his horse to the side of the carriage, beat his chest with one hand and said, "The Queen Mother..."

"Where have you been?"

Yelumo only raised his eyes to look around, carefully surveyed the terrain, and said softly: "Go back to the Queen Mother, after passing the mountain in front, you will find Luofengpo..."

"Luofengpo..."

Empress Dowager Xiao repeated in a low voice, and suddenly felt her heart beating wildly.

There is a hint of bad feeling.

However, such things as premonitions cannot be taken seriously.

Empress Dowager Xiao could only tell Yelu Mozhi: "Mozhi, the mountains here are deep and densely forested, it's better to be careful, don't fall into the enemy's ambush."

Yelumo only frowned when he heard this, "Can the enemy still cross Youzhou City and appear behind our army?"

Empress Dowager Xiao said in a deep voice, "It's better to be careful."

Although Yelumo felt unhappy, he did not disobey the Queen Mother Xiao's order.

Immediately, Yelumo only rode up to the front of the carriage, and kicked a man in a different armor who was following beside the carriage.

"The mountains are deep here and the forests are dense, so I will trouble you, the captain-in-law, to go ahead and explore the way."

Being kicked suddenly, Yang Yanhui gritted his teeth, glanced at Yelumo, and led his men and horses to the forefront of the team.

Yelumo only looked at Yang Yanhui who was going away, and twitched the corners of his mouth in disdain.

Although the prince consort is a relative of the emperor, his status in the Liao Kingdom is not low, especially after Yang Yanhui took control of a 3-strong army, his status began to rise in a straight line.

Unfortunately, even so.

In Yelumo's eyes, it was still not enough.

No matter how noble the status of the royal relatives is, they are only the royal relatives.

And Yelumo is only a royal family of [-] people.

With Yang Yanhui as the vanguard, the group arrived at the foot of Luofengpo.

The scouts sent by Yang Yanhui checked carefully, but found nothing wrong.

Like the hills I passed before, there was nothing wrong with it.

In a hidden grove not far from here, the generals of the Yang family who followed Yang San to the expedition saw Yang Yanhui who was leading the way on the ancient road at a glance.

"Third Young Master, is that Fourth Young Master?"

The general asked Yang San with a solemn expression.

Yang San squinted his eyes, his face was livid, he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "There are no three young masters or four young masters on the battlefield. I am Yang Yanguang, the general of the Southern Kingdom, and he is Yang Yanhui, the consort of the Liao Kingdom. Everyone is their master." , without any personal affair..."

The family will be embarrassed: "But..."

Yang San glared at him coldly, "There's nothing wrong with that. If we meet on the battlefield, the first strike should be on him."

Jia Jiang nodded with a complicated expression.

Down the slope of Luofeng.

Yang Yanhui has led the front team half way.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Xiao's carriage was about to enter Luofengpo.

Sudden.

Empress Dowager Xiao in the carriage said anxiously, "Stop."

Yelumo rode his horse to the front of the carriage, and said in a deep voice, "What orders does the Empress Dowager have?"

Inside the carriage, Empress Dowager Xiao said in a heavy and hasty voice: "I always feel restless when I pass by here. If I want to stay here, let the front army pass first, and then let the rear army 3 people, one at a time." pass.

Along with the [-] soldiers and horses that were postponed, Bengong passed Luofengpo together. "

Yelumo only frowned tightly, and said with a little displeasure: "Queen Mother, we have been marching all the way without incident. Why did we have to make such trouble when we arrived at Luofengpo.

Could it be that because of Luo Fengpo's reputation, the Empress Dowager will change the marching plan because of the quarrel with the Empress Dowager? "

Empress Dowager Xiao was at a loss for words for a while.

Don't look at the majestic Empress Dowager Xiao in Daliao, but not everyone sold her face.

For example, when the four regents and the old uncles of the Yelu royal family were unwilling to sell Empress Dowager Xiao, Empress Dowager Xiao was helpless.

At this time, the little emperor Yelu Longxu lifted the curtain of the carriage, puffed his face, and said angrily: "Listen to the mother..."

Yelumo beat his chest helplessly with one hand, bowed and said, "Old minister obeys the order."

No way, Yelumo is only qualified not to listen to Empress Dowager Xiao, but he is not qualified not to listen to little emperor Yelulongxu.

You are you.

In this era where monarchy is supreme and men are in charge of the house.

Even if this gentleman is a child, Yelu Mozhi has to listen to what he says.

Yelumo only heaved a long sigh, and was about to order the army to follow Empress Dowager Xiao's order, when she saw Empress Dowager Xiao lift the curtain, and said softly: "Mozhi, I am not acting recklessly according to my own temperament.

When I entered this place, I really felt restless.

If there is an ambush here, once they see Ben Gong's frame, they will definitely follow Ben Gong.

Letting the army go first is to protect my son in Daliao. "

To use his own life to protect the lives of nearly a hundred thousand soldiers?

Yelumo was stunned when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice, "According to the investigation by the vanguard scouts, there is no danger ahead."

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled wryly: "Yang Yansi has many tricks, we have to guard against them. We just changed the order of the march. Although it will delay some time, it does not affect the overall situation."

Yelumo only nodded, "Okay..."

In this way, the carriage of Empress Dowager Xiao stopped at the entrance of Luofengpo Ancient Road. Fengpo.

Seeing that more than 8 troops entered Luofengpo, the frame of Empress Dowager Xiao remained motionless at the crossing.

The general of the Yang family anxiously asked Yang San, "Third young master, what should we do?"

He was asking Yang San whether he should choose Empress Dowager Xiao or the [-] army on the ancient road.

Yang San frowned and fell into a dilemma.

After taking down Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor of Liao Kingdom, it is certainly possible to threaten Liao Kingdom.

However, the [-] Liao troops who crossed the ancient road can take the opportunity to advance to Tanzhou and control Tanzhou one step ahead of them.

In this case, the Liao army's strategy of encircling the spot and fighting for aid was broken.

If the people of Liao were stronger and supported Brother Yeluxiu directly as emperor, then it would be useless for him to capture Empress Dowager Xiao and the young emperor of Liao.

But to deal with the [-] troops who have entered the ancient road, the Empress Dowager Xiao at the entrance of the ancient road will definitely return to Youzhou City with the rest of the people immediately.

Yang San didn't want to miss the opportunity to capture the phoenix and the dragon.

It never occurred to Yang San that just because of the restlessness of Empress Dowager Xiao, he fell into a dilemma.

"Third young master, make up your mind! The former army is about to leave the other side of the ancient road."
