C91 Grand Liao Army

Just as the few of them were discussing within the tent, they suddenly saw the soldiers rush in. Everyone felt that something was wrong when they saw him in such a hurry. They couldn't help but stand up.

Yang Yanzhao immediately asked: "What happened?"

The soldier cupped his fists and said, "General Yang, Lieutenant General Zhang has sent people to report that there is a large group of Liaoning troops approaching us from a distance of five kilometers in front of us. I estimate the number to be no less than ten thousand."

Yang Yanzhao's doubt flashed across his face for a moment, and then he said: "I never thought that we would be attacking again so soon. Pass down the order, prepare to come out, and let the Liao Army take the initiative."

After the soldier received the order, Yang Yanzhao shouted, "Lu Qingwen!"

Lu Qingwen stepped forward and cupped his fists, "This lowly general is here."

"How many Yang Jia Jun s are still guarding the Yan Men Guan?"

"Around five thousand." Lu Qingwen replied.

"Okay, leave two groups of people at the campsite, in case the Liao Army takes the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Lead a thousand Yang Jia Jun s to circle behind the Liao Army as fast as possible, cut off their support and surround them."

Lu Qingwen accepted the order and left the camp.

Yang Yanzhao continued, "Yang Zongbao, bring a thousand of your men and Su San Xiao. The two disciples of fructus, Chen Shaofengyuchenjianbing and his disciple, quickly gather with Vice General Zhang.

Yang Zongbao brought Su San Xiao and Chen Shaofeng, and Chen Jianbing left as well.

Yang Yanzhao looked at Shao Jian and Zhang Wudie who were in the tent, and said to the three of them: "Zhang Jiming, I will lead a thousand Yang Jia Jun to intercept the attack of the Liao Army, Shao Jian, as you and Miss Wu Die have just reached Yan Men Guan, you will stay in the camp to rest for the time being."

Shao Jian quickly said: "We have come to kill the enemy for our country, how can we stay in the camp? General Yang let us go together, fortunately we can help a little."

Seeing that he was so determined, Yang Yanzhao did not have anything to say. She smiled and nodded: "Alright then, come with me.

"Listen to General Yang." Zhang Wudie replied, looking at Shao Jian with deep concern: "Then you have to be extra careful, I will wait here for you two to come back."

Shao Jian nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." Wiping off Zhang Wudie's black hair, she turned and followed Yang Yanzhao out of the tent.

After Lu Qingwen gathered all the soldiers, he took the lead and left first. Yang Yanzhao looked at the soldiers and said loudly: "After these three days of recuperation, the Liaoning Army had launched an attack, we will go and stop them now, and strike them head on. Is everyone ready?"

"Being the Yang Jia Jun is our honor. We are prepared to fight to the death with the Liao Army at any time …" A thousand soldiers shouted in unison. The scene was absolutely shocking.

Yang Yanzhao got on his horse and raised the spear in his hand that had the words' General Fanwu 'carved on it, and said loudly: "Let's go!"

Shao Jian and Zhang Jiming looked at each other and mounted their horses, following Yang Yanzhao on both sides of the army of 1000, they left the camp and galloped forward in a grandiose manner. Along the way, the horses' hooves rumbled, and dust flew everywhere, and a few standard-bearers walked in front with flags that read 'Song' and 'Yang' -typed on them.

Not long after, the vast expanse of yellow sand in front of them was filled with the sound of galloping horses. In the midst of the dust, one could faintly see a dense crowd moving towards them.

Yang Yanzhao who was in the middle of the army stopped his horse, waved his hand, signalling the army to stop, and then turned to the soldiers and said: "The Liaoning army has arrived, everyone get ready."

The orderly sounds of footsteps came out, the hundred over soldiers with shields at the front of the army scattered to the sides, the spear-wielding soldiers at the back quickly moved forward, their eyes glaring at the Liaoning's army in front of them.

Shao Jian looked up and saw that the troops leading the troops were all mounted on big horses, their bodies covered in armor. This was the King Army of the Liaoning, which had helped their country achieve great war achievements, but ever since they met General Yang, who was known as the 'Enemy No.', they lost the battle one after another, and their morale plummeted. Each of the Liaoning Army held a crescent-shaped half-moon blade in their hands, which was probably the most commonly used weapon by the troops.

At this time, the opposing troops opened up a path from the middle. A young general, riding a black stallion, wearing a set of armor, with an imposing manner, and accompanied by five man of the jianghu who were dressed in strange clothing and wielding various weapons, walked out.

After the young general arrived at the front and back of the army, the opposing troops began to gather in the middle again. Although they had suffered countless losses, from their every action, one could tell that this was definitely a well-trained army, and this general was also extremely talented.

The general's face twitched before he laughed and said loudly, "General Yang, how have you been?"

Yang Yanzhao smiled back at him and said: "Many thanks to General Jeru. Even after so many months, General Jeru is still as overbearing as before."

"Hahaha, General Yang is too kind, that year Empress Dowager Xiao thought so highly of your father, Old General Yang Ye, and wanted to recruit you, the Yang family, but to no avail, our Great Liaoning's Holy Zong Emperor still thinks very highly of you, General Yang. I hope you can rely on me, Da Liao, to take control of a hundred thousand great masters of the Great Liaoning." The General Jeru of the Liaoning Army said solemnly.

Yang Yanzhao said in a stern voice, "We each have our own lords, and are fighting for our own nations. There's no need to talk about this, if you, the Emperor of Liaoning, are willing to have a truce between two nations and return to our Song Province, the sixteen prefectures of Swallow Cloud, so that we may never offend each other again, I can speak for the friendship between our two nations in front of Your Majesty."

"Hahaha, General Yang's idea is not bad, but it's already too late for our Liaoning to stop the war. Right now, your Song Province has run out of steam, it's already considered your fortune to be able to live on.

With a sudden change in topic, the General Jeru from the Liaoning Army continued: "You people from the Song Dynasty often say, 'the wise man knows what is best for the moment'. I believe General Yang understands the meaning of this sentence better than I do, don't you? As long as General Yang is willing to surrender, maybe the Emperor of the Great Liaoning Sacred Sect will be even more pleased. Once the net is opened, the two nations will cease to exist and will not violate each other's will. This way, the citizens can live and work in peace, wouldn't everyone be happy, General Yang, what do you think? "

Yang Yanzhao said: "I truly appreciate the kindness of General Jeru for Yang Yanzhao to be able to make the Great Liao Emperor think so highly of him."

"In that case, General Yang is not accepting the kindness of our Emperor of the Great Liaoning Sacred Sect, so we can only meet in battle."

Yang Yanzhao said with an imposing manner: "For the sake of the Great Song, Yang Yanzhao will definitely give it his all."

The General Jeru laughed and then hid himself within the vast army. It seemed like he didn't want to face Yang Yanzhao head on, yet the Liaoning army had rushed over like a tide.

Facing the Liao Army who was ten times stronger than him, Yang Yanzhao, this wise and brave general who had experienced a lot of battles, suddenly showed some wisdom. He turned around and shouted to his own soldiers: "Dodge its edge, focus your forces on attacking its weak spot."

The soldiers quickly moved to the center after hearing the order, the shield soldiers stood at the very front, holding their shields in front of them, forming a powerful defensive wall, which was half a man tall, and the soldiers with pikes all held onto the weapons in their hands tightly, continuing to stab towards the incoming Liaoning Army.

Battle cries, blood-curdling screams, and the clashing of weapons reverberated in the air above the battlefield …

When one of the leaders of the Liaoning army saw this attack, she hurriedly waved her hand to stop the attack. She then shouted, "Surround them."

Yang Yanzhao felt that the situation was not good. If he was surrounded by them, it would be difficult to break out. He hastily shouted: "Archers!"

In the army, the spearmen quickly retreated. Several rows of archers stepped forward after receiving the order. Whoosh … Whoosh … Sounds continuously sounded. At almost the same time, numerous sharp arrows were shot out like ten thousand arrows …

Screams could be heard continuously as the attacking troops all retreated to their original spots, leaving only a pile of corpses on the ground. The archers didn't miss this good opportunity and immediately turned their bows, aiming at the center of the troops. "Whiz!" "Whiz!" The sound once again pierced through the sky. The dense rain of arrows covered the entire army.

Their formation was also destroyed by the rain of arrows. The leader who had shouted just now saw the soldiers beside him fall down continuously, and shouted sternly: "Kill them, stomp Song Jun into mincemeat."

The disorderly sounds of horse hooves rang out, and three thousand Steel Cavalry soldiers rushed over, the dust and dirt flying, the ground was trembling, Liaoning Army who was wielding a half moon blade followed and surrounded them.

Within the Song Jun Formation, while Yang Yanzhao was organizing his defenses, he was also thinking about how Yang Zongbao and Zhang Jinliang, who had went around to the two wings of the Liaoning Army, had still not made any movements.

Just then, shouts of battle came from both sides, the attacks of the two armies faltered, Yang Yanzhao was overjoyed, he knew that it was Yang Zongbao and Zhang Jinliang who was rushing over, and immediately shouted: Brothers, kill!

This was the first time Shao Jian came to the battlefield to help the country kill an enemy, and was also the first time he saw the huge scene of the two nations fighting. He could not help but become extremely heroic, the black iron sword in hand continued to swing her sword rapidly, and as the sword Qi flew around the densely packed army, the troops blocking in front of him were all struck by's sharp sword light, and fell to the ground.

Blood was splattering everywhere, hands, feet, head was flying everywhere, the stench of blood was strong, and miserable cries continuously filled the air. The army seemed to be afraid of his powerful attack and they all retreated, Shao Jian stared at the Liaoning Army with bloodshot eyes, and when the black iron sword in hand moved, drops of blood fell onto the ground from the tip of the sword.

The surrounding army members of the Liaoning Province came to a stop as they tried to calm the fear repressed within their bodies. They then shouted out loud and surrounded the group once again.
