As the sky grew brighter, a black line appeared on the horizon in the distance, and gradually widened and thickened.

The whole earth trembled, and the rumbling of ten thousand galloping horses, from small to large, was finally as deafening as thunder.

Li Zhongyi put down the monocular in his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Hugh is finally here." ”

The throat that escaped through the net finally gave Li Zhongyi an hour of time, and the thick night also helped Li Zhongyi a lot.

Good luck can't take care of someone forever, Li Zhongyi always reminds himself that the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and they must not be careless!

Soldiers, the country's major affairs!

To tell the truth, Brother Hugh's outstanding surprise this time, Li Zhongyi may not be able to forget it until he dies.

When the two armies were fighting, the slightest mistake could have been a great tragedy: his sons had been slaughtered, and the wives and concubines he had worked so hard to collect became the playthings of someone else's couch.

The cavalry group ran for hundreds of miles in an hour, and the one that existed, even if a few horses ran and died, barely arrived, and did not need the enemy to push, and they all fell.

Li Zhongyi has dealt with the Khitans a lot of times, and Li Jiajun himself also has a cavalry box, and he knows much more about the doorway of cavalry raids than all the Central Plains generals.

The cavalry under Li Yong's cavalry, until the emergency military affairs of the last resort, generally marched at most twenty miles per hour, and then rested for at least one hour, so that the war horses could rest, eat some grass, feed some beans, and drink some water to fully recover their strength.

The cavalry compartment was built by Li Yong in accordance with the training standards of the party's cavalry.

It is no exaggeration to say that in addition to the different faces, whether it is a Han army ride or a party horse, it is almost as if it was made in a mold.

The party clan, manpower and territory, are much less than the Khitans. Therefore, in order to survive and develop, the party cavalry, which is also good at arching horses, is more well-trained than the tribal army of the Khitans.

In the small border friction between the Dangxiang and the Khitans, the Dangxiang people are proud of the fact that they have always won more and lost less.

However, the Khitan striker rushed over so quickly, and Li Zhongyi was somewhat surprised. It is conceivable that Brother Yelu Hugh is on Li Zhongyi's head, and he is determined to win!

"Pass my military order and urge the Goryeo slaves to speed up their actions, time is running out." Li Zhongyi turned his head and ordered Liao Shanhe.

Liao Shanhe didn't say a word, and then called the herald standing on the stairs, stuffed him with a token, and ordered him to quickly deliver the order.

Li Zhongyi had never confronted Yelu Hugo head-on before, and he and the people of the Senate could only start from the enemy's leniency, and poured all the wooden products in the camp with water and smeared the soil several times.

There is only one purpose in this: to guard against fire!

One of the main weapons of Li Jiajun is the "devil's cocktail", Li Zhongyi is a professional arsonist, how can he not beware of Brother Hugh's way of returning his body?

The camp of more than 10,000 people is big and small. With Li Zhongyi's order, the Gaoli slaves significantly accelerated the progress of plastering muddy water and fire prevention under the deterrence of knives and guns.

When the general flag of the Khitan striker was fully revealed in Li Zhongyi's monoculars, the defense of Li Jiajun had been completely completed.

The Goryeons, under the supervision of the auxiliaries, were taken away from hoes and pickaxes, and collectively replaced with tools such as hammers and pontoon bridges.

The erection of the pontoon bridge is not only a golden idea of Liaoshan River, but also absolutely in line with Li Zhong's strategic thinking that people and land are lost, and people and land are all saved.

The Khitan Kingdom was too big, and it was destroyed in a war, but it was just a fantasy in a dream.

Historically, after the rise of the Jurchens, under the side of the Song army, they forced the Khitans to fight on two fronts, and it took ten years to destroy the Khitan State.

In this way, the Jurchens destroyed Liao, and it was also imperfect. In the Central Asian region in the west of the Dangxiang State, the Khitan State of Linya Yelu Dashi brazenly established the New Liao State, which is known as the Western Liao in history.

As long as he did not grasp the supreme real power of the Great Zhou, Li Zhongyi would not be able to completely mobilize the abundant human, material and financial resources of the Great Zhou.

Even if you occasionally win more with less, even if you are lucky enough to kill Brother Hugh this time, there will still be Khitan careerists who will rush up to fill the power vacuum on the prairie.

In the final analysis, Li Zhongyi's current strength is far from enough to support the basic resources needed to fight a long-term national war with the Khitans.

The one who was sent by Hugh Ge to fight the vanguard was his old subordinate, named Yelu Xiaoshi. Brother Hugh gave Yelu Xiaoshi 20,000 elite leather room troops, ordered him to catch up, stared at Li Zhongyi, and didn't let him run.

Jeruxiugo made it very clear that it was forbidden to launch an attack in private, and to wait for the arrival of the 80,000 elite leather room troops before launching a general attack.

Yelu Xiaoshi is not the most warlike general under Brother Hugh, but he is the most obedient henchman, he never dares to disobey Brother Hugh's orders, so Brother Hugh let him fight the front.

Yelu Xiaoshi commanded an army of 20,000, and when he arrived five miles outside the Li family's army camp, he decisively divided his troops. The 12,000 soldiers and horses of the main force remained in place, and the remaining 8,000 elite cavalry, divided into two divisions of 4,000 people each, led by Shen Wen, were outflanked on the other side of the Li family's army camp.

Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, after the vanguard of the Khitans arrived, they did not blindly launch an attack, but divided their troops to monitor.

Li Zhongyi knew very well that the 4,000 cavalry of the Khitans was not a small team, and no matter how elite the Li family army was, it was impossible to destroy it in a short time when the flanks were threatened.

"Master, I'm afraid it's the real elite of the Khitans who came this time, right?" Liao Shanhe put down the monocular in his hand and turned his head to ask Li Zhongyi.

Li Zhongyi smiled, nodded and said: "Brother Hugh's old book has been revealed, the forward troops alone, there are at least 20,000 fierce men, and when the main force comes to meet, there will be 100,000 people." In order to cut off Lao Tzu's head, Brother Hugh was really anxious, and he was willing to spend such a large amount of money. ”

"We have wreaked havoc on the spring sowing of the Great Plain of Thistle, and in the sixteen states of Yanyun in the coming year, many people will be hungry. Moreover, we also took the important Anxi City, and moved with great fanfare, which is simply too bullying the Khitans. If it is replaced by Brother Hugh, he will definitely come to fight with you, which is unbearable. Liao Shanhe is mouth will come to trouble, and he never forgot to pat Li Zhongyi's ass, "Hehe, that is, you who are eloquent and strategic, have this kind of shocking stroke." ”

Unlike Li Zhongyi, the commander-in-chief, Liao Shanhe has been commanding operations on the front line all the year round, and there are many tricks on how to effectively resist the grassland cavalry, and Li Zhongyi is difficult to fully grasp, but the old Comrade Liao is a clear man.

Li Zhongyi was still a little worried in his heart, after all, Brother Hugh led the most elite hundred battles of the Khitans, the Pi Room Army, and its combat effectiveness should definitely not be underestimated.

Liao Shanhe acted like no one else, not only did not panic, but smiled unusually calmly: "Master, our camp is very targeted, and it is unusually strong, and there is a pontoon bridge built near the river as a way out." As long as there is no shortage of crossbows and cocktails, let alone a hundred thousand Khitans, even if it is three hundred thousand, what is there to fear? ”

Liao Shanhe's arrogance immediately infected Li Zhongyi's emotions, Li Zhongyi yawned on his back, stretched his waist, and said lazily: "The general attack of the Khitans will take at least two hours, I will go and sleep first, and you will command the army with full authority." ”

Li Zhongyi's dare to fully authorize the style made Liao Shanhe's heart particularly warm, and when the vicious battle was imminent, let me ask, which lord dares to completely put his life in the hands of his generals?

PS: It's still a little Carvin, after all, such a big decisive battle, Sikong is somewhat not good at it!
