Chapter 103 The Border Pass is Attacked
While Mu Guiying's face changed greatly, Huang Fengxian's words further confirmed Mu Guiying's thoughts: "Guiying, although when I was in Liaoning, I was only stationed at the pass of Jiulong Mountain. However, I have also entered the Tianmen array and helped me. My father set up the golden lock array, and I also heard that I have named some defenders. But most of the array owners of the broken array today are different from those I know. I suspect that the previous array owners have been transferred, so these arrays are so easy to break through.
"Where is the messenger--" Mu Guiying sat back to the commander's position with a solemn expression and said to the messenger who quickly entered the camp, "Quickly contact the Eighth Prince with the pigeon brought by Ben Shuai and let him pay attention to whether there is any changes outside the border."
When the soldiers came out of the camp, Huang Fengxian was shocked and said, "Do you suspect that they went to fight Gaoyang Pass? The original agreement between Song and Liao did not have this?"
"In the face of 'interests', 'agreement' is nothing." Mu Guiying breathed a soft breath, but he didn't want to believe that his guess was true.
Huang Fengxian was speechless when he heard Mu Guiying's sarcastic words. Because Huang Chuan is the best example. If the Liao people hadn't given him enough benefits, how could he kill his wife and surrender to the enemy?
Mu Guiying saw Huang Fengxian's gloomy face and immediately reacted and hurriedly said, "Fengxian, don't think too much. Nothing in this world is absolute. Everything has two sides.
Huang Fengxian nodded. Just as he was about to speak, the messenger entered the camp. Seeing the panic on his face, Mu Guiying and Huang Fengxian's hearts were sinking. Quickly receiving the communication with Gao Yangguan, Mu Guiying quickly said, "Quickly inform Deputy Marshal Yang and Commander Yang Yande, and let them withdraw from the Tianmen array immediately with two people."
"My subordinates are obeding." The messenger also understood that the situation was serious and quickly withdrew from the camp.
As Mu Guiying guessed, when the army of the Song Dynasty entered the Tianmen array and broke through the small array one after another, Han Yanshou had already taken the main force of the Liao army to Gaoyang Pass. Its purpose is to take Gaoyang Pass in one fell swoop while the troops of Gaoyang Pass are empty.
If Gaoyang Pass is captured by Han Yanshou, even if the Tianmen array is broken by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will face the danger of destroying the country. Because Gaoyang Pass was the military important place of the Song Dynasty, and also because of Gaoyang Pass, Liao talents had not successfully invaded the Song Dynasty for many years.
Mu Guiying naturally understood the importance of Gaoyang Pass and specially asked Yang Liulang and Yang Wulang to return to Gaoyang Pass with half of the people. Fortunately, there are also 100,000 Song soldiers in Gaoyang Pass, and there are also eight princes who are calm and should be able to support Yang Liulang and others to go back.
Huang Fengxian thought for a moment and got up and said, "If Vice Commander Yang and Commander Yang Yande are allowed to return to Gaoyang Pass, the troops in the gate that day will be weakened. Now that I'm fine, why don't I join the battle?
"All right." Mu Guiying nodded and then said, "After Vice Commander Yang comes back..."
When Mu Guiying was discussing with Huang Fengxian, Yang Liulang, who got the news, scolded Han Yanshou as a shameless villain who went back on his word. However, thinking of Han Yanshou's means, Yang Liulang immediately turned the horse's head and Yang Wulang and withdrew from the Tianmen array first. The two armies also immediately rectified and then rushed to the camp at the Jiulongshan Pass.
It is said that Yang Liulang came all the way to Mu Guiying's camp, and his mood gradually calmed down as time went by. It's just that when I entered the camp, my face was gloomy and ugly. Yang Wulang, who came in later, had that calm expression.
"Gui Ying, did Han Yanshou really take the Liao army to attack Gaoyang Pass?" Yang Liulang looked at the map, his face was very tight, and his lips were slightly squeezed, but his eyes flashed with a rare fierce color. This made Mu Guiying and Huang Fengxian see it, and they couldn't help sighing in their hearts. At this time, Yang Liulang was the 'Yang Liulang' that Liao people were afraid of.
Mu Guiying was also a little nervous when she saw Yang Liulang and couldn't help saying, "Father, Guiying felt that this Tianmen array was too easy to break before, so she guessed whether Han Yanshou had another purpose. Only then did Gui Ying use the pigeons of Mu Kezhai to contact the Eighth Prince, and the detectives sent by the Eighth Prince have found out that the army of Liaoning is indeed approaching 30 miles away from Gaoyang Pass.
Yang Liulang nodded and said in a low voice, "It's true. You can react as soon as possible and let me help you. You did a good job. When the soldiers and horses arrive together, I will immediately return to Gaoyang Pass. Han Yanshou and I are old rivals, but I didn't expect that we would have to fight on the battlefield in the end.
"Sixth brother, I don't think it's appropriate for only 200,000 people to return." Yang Wulang pointed to a large plain area on the map and said, "Since Han Yanshou dares to disobey the agreement, he will definitely attack Gaoyang Pass with all his will. I believe that the Liao army led by Han Yanshou must be the most elite army in Liao. If we want to hit the Liao army hard, 200,000 horses are not enough.
"The fifth uncle is right. Gui Ying is not considerate." At the beginning, Mu Guiying just wanted to help Gaoyangguan. But after listening to Yang Wulang's words, Mu Guiying immediately understood that it didn't matter if the Tianmen array could not be broken. As long as all the elites of Liao are gone, it just wants to invade the Song Dynasty and has no such strength.
Yang Liulang's eyes flashed and nodded, "Five Brother is right. Since Han Yanshou does not keep the agreement, we don't have to keep that year. This time, I must do my best to hit the elite of his Liao army and hurt the vitality of Liao Kingdom--"
Mu Guiying nodded and said, "Well, there are still 100,000 horses in this mountain pass. Let's all go back with my father. When Mu Guiying transferred the fourth man led by Cui Ping back, and then caught up with his father. As for the Tianmen array, Gui Ying decided to join the battle in person and never give up a chance.
"Good." Yang Liulang nodded again and then said, "It's enough for you and my fifth uncle to take Meng Liang, Jiao Zan, Yang Xing and Yue Sheng back. The other generals will stay to help you break the battle." As soon as the words fell, Yang Xing came to report that the army had been rectified and could go. Yang Liulang was very straightforward and told Mu Guiying a few words, and then quickly left with Yang Wulang.
Looking at Yang Liulang's majestic appearance, Huang Fengxian couldn't help but say, "Today, I know that 'Yang Liulang's power shocked the Liao army' is not a lie. When Vice Marshal Yang was angry, he really scared me a little. Moreover, even Commander Yang's strategy is extremely high. No wonder the arrogant Liao soldiers also call them 'Yang's generals', which is really admirable.
"Don't sigh, let's get into the battle. When you enter the Yang family, there will be many opportunities to learn about the 'Yang family generals'. Mu Guiying put on her helmet, picked up the embroidered velvet knife, and pulled Huang Fengxian out of the tent.
At this time, there were only a few hundred Song soldiers stationed in Jiulongshan Pass. Mu Guiying was worried that Yan Rong would have some tricks, so he first asked someone to transfer a thousand people from Mrs. She. Huang Fengxian, who is familiar with the terrain here, settled how these people guard the camp at the pass of Jiulong Mountain. When everything was properly placed, Mu Guiying and Huang Fengxian entered the Tianmen array with more than 100 female soldiers.
......
At the same time, Gaoyang Pass has been surrounded by black and pressuredliao soldiers. The eighth prince stood on the gate tower, looked at the Liao army ready to attack, and couldn't help smiling bitterly.
Although the Eighth Prince has not experienced the war, he has been a supervisor at the border for so long and trained with the generals. Coupled with the oncoming murderous atmosphere of the Liao army in front of him, how could the Eighth Prince not know that these were the elite soldiers of the Liaoning army. Fortunately, Mu Guiying left 100,000 soldiers in case of emergency before the army set out. Otherwise, the Eighth Prince really doesn't know how to hold on until Yang Liulang comes back.
"To the Eighth Prince, all the sharp arrows in Gaoyang Pass have been transported here." Listening to a general's report, the Eighth Prince nodded and then said, "Tell all the soldiers that I have passed the news with Marshal Mu. At this time, Vice Commander Yang was returning with his army. As long as we can stick to them coming back, the unfaithful Han Yanshou will never come back.
"Yes." As soon as the general heard that Yang Liulang was rushing back, he immediately went down to convey the news.
Since knowing that the Liao army besieged Gaoyang Pass, the soldiers in the border gate are really nervous. In particular, knowing that Han Yanshou, the grand marshal of the Liao army this time, personally brought the most elite soldiers of Liao to attack, they actually had a trace of fear. In fact, I don't blame them for doing this. Because these people left behind are either elderly veterans, wounded soldiers, or ordinary soldiers responsible for handymen and logistics. And only a small part of the rest are elite soldiers with relatively heavy combat effectiveness.
It can be said that among these 100,000 soldiers, only 40,000 are really effective. And these 40,000 people have to face the most elite army in Liao. How can they not be afraid? If it hadn't been for the Eight Princes of the current dynasty guarding the customs here, the military would have been chaotic.
Fortunately, Mu Guiying left several carrier pigeons to the Eighth Prince for the convenience of exchanging information. Moreover, if Mu Guiying hadn't sent the letter back in time and asked the Eighth Prince to send a detective out of the customs. The Eighth Prince really didn't know that Han Yanshou took advantage of the Song army to attack Gaoyang Pass. Moreover, it was also because of the timely transmission of the news that the Eighth Prince had time to arrange the defensive forces.
When the Eighth Prince was thinking about it, he was suddenly pulled aside by a strong force. The Eighth Prince only felt a rapid wind in his ear. When he looked back, he was inserting a sharp arrow that kept trembling in the position where the Eighth Prince had just stood. Just as the Eighth Master was about to say something, there was a long horn from the Liaoning army opposite. It turned out that the Liao army began to attack the city.
"Escoll the Eight Prince down." The general who just pulled the eighth prince wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a long breath. If his eyes hadn't been bright enough, the Eighth Prince would have almost been hit by an arrow. If there is anything wrong with the Eighth Prince, then they don't want to live.
However, the Eighth Prince refused to leave and shouted, "I am here to advance and retreat with all the soldiers. I want Han Yanshou to know that even without Yang Liulang here, our men in the Song Dynasty will never retreat. As soon as the words fell, in order not to hinder the defenders, the Eighth Prince retreated to a place where the archers of the Liao army could not shoot, and the soldiers cheered up.
Not to mention, with the eighth prince, the royal eighth master standing on the gate tower, the morale of the defenders is getting higher and higher. It was not until the news of Yang Liulang's return reached the border gate that the Eighth Prince shook his body and let the soldiers know that he was also supporting him. However, no one laughed at the Eighth Prince, but deeply admired him...
