The Li Jiajun, whose whole army has already been transformed into mules and horses, can be described as astonishingly fast once it moves.

According to the military information transmitted back from the throat, the commander of the Khitan people on the left flank was not an outsider, but Yelu Hengchang, who had just lost Fanyang City.

And the main commander of the enemy army in front of him is Yelu Aman, who has been known for a long time. As for the handsome banner of Yelu Huge, it did appear on the right wing.

It's just that with the ability of Brother Yelu Hugh, Li Zhongyi couldn't confirm it for a while, and it was Brother Hugh himself who appeared on the right wing.

In this era when there are no reconnaissance satellites, if the two warring sides want to determine the identity of the enemy's commander, they can only rely on the identification of the military flag or the commander's flag.

In other words, it is possible to meet Jeruxiu in all three directions, as long as he is determined to hide.

However, according to the judgment of the General Staff, as long as the Khitans divided their troops, no matter which direction Yelu Xiuge was in, the result would actually be the same.

The Khitans set up a three-sided encirclement frame, the purpose of which was to take advantage of the multiple advantage in military strength to force the Li family army into a dilemma.

Li Zhongyi has no ideological baggage at all, as Dong Chengdong said, no matter how many ways he comes, he will only go all the way, and concentrate on doing big things!

Back then, in the Battle of Salhu, the Ming army actually had 230,000 people, claimed to be 500,000, but it was divided into five routes.

At that time, the Houjin was only 80,000 at best, but they could concentrate their vital forces and adopt various strategies to break through, and Leng defeated the Ming army.

After this battle, the Later Jin really had an advantage in Liaodong, and the Ming army turned from offensive to defensive.

Now, Li Zhongyi has adopted a roughly similar strategy, 180,000 soldiers and horses gather into a tower, no matter which direction they rush in, it is difficult for the Khitans to stop it.

After the army went on the road, Liao Shanhe led the rear army composed of 30,000 veterans in accordance with the prior deployment, and walked at the end of the large team.

On the endless plain, Li Zhongyi's soldiers and horses had just moved, and Yelu Hengchang had already received a battle report.

Yelu Hengchang inexplicably lost the vital Fanyang City, and actually left millions of stone grains to Li Zhongyi, who had a long logistics line, and even his intestines were about to regret it.

However, Li Zhongyi had obviously fallen into the trap set by Yelu Hugo in advance, and as expected, he launched an attack on the left flank.

Yelu Hugo reined in the reins of his horse and sneered: "After all, the Southern Barbarian is a Southern Barbarian, and it is very good to write articles. ”

Yelu Hengchang had just lost the battle, and although his heart was not high, he was also very grateful to Yelu Huge. He lost Fan Yangcheng, and Yelu Xiuge only fined 500 female slaves and 10,000 cattle and sheep, and did not remove him from his position as deputy commander.

"Husband fights, the truth that strength is weak, Li Wuji understands it very well, so he came." Yelu Hengchang saw that others didn't dare to interject, he was worried that it would be cold, so he hurried to help Mi Jie with fun.

Brother Yelu Xiu squinted his eyes and said lightly: "Pass on my military order, the army will meet it, and fight to the death with Li Zhongyi!" ”

According to the plan of the Khitans before the war, Yelu Hengchang's 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if they are all exhausted, as long as they can annihilate the Li family's army, it is also a price that can be beared.

Yelu Hengchang's army has a total of 20,000 leather room troops, 30,000 palace troops, and 50,000 tribal troops.

After this battle, it is estimated that there are 50,000 tribal troops, I'm afraid there are not many left, right?

However, it is impossible not to shed blood in the war, according to Yelu Huge's calculations, even if more than half of the 30,000 palace troops were killed and wounded, and 50,000 tribal troops were buried together, they could be regarded as a well-deserved death.

To put it bluntly, it is to take more than 15,000 palace divisions, as well as 50,000 tribal troops, in exchange for the 180,000 people of the entire Li family's army.

Summing up, Yelu Hugo thinks that the exchange ratio, although too big, is also a win-win situation. One consumes the tribes within the Khitan, and at the same time kills the most vicious enemies of the Khitans, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

According to Yelu Huge's prior order, no matter which direction Li Zhongyi led his army to attack, the soldiers and horses in the other two directions must move closer to Li Zhongyi's rear at all costs.

One will be a success!

If the price is paid and the most ferocious enemy is destroyed, Jeruxiu has nothing to regret!

The speed of the Li Jiajun's march was astonishingly fast, and as soon as Yelu Hugo sent a messenger to contact the other two sides, he received a report from the sentry.

"Report to the regent, the main force of the Southern Barbarians has rushed to the Xiama River, which is forty miles away from here."

Yelu Hugo waved his hand and motioned for the sentry to retreat, Yelu Hengchang leaned closer and whispered, "Regent, should we wait for the soldiers and horses on the other two sides to approach before starting a decisive battle?" ”

Yelu Xiuge smiled slightly and said, "If someone else said this, I would only think it was malicious, you are different, I can trust you." ”

"There is a saying that the Southern Barbarians have a good saying, and they are reluctant to let the child trap the wolf. If, when the army is all assembled, the risk is actually amazing. Jeruhhuge let out a long sigh and said, "Don't I know the truth that if the force is scattered, it will be lonely? But the problem is that the 350,000 soldiers and horses are facing Li Wujiao's 180,000 people, and I don't have half a chance of winning. ”

Yelu Hengchang can also be regarded as having fought with Li Zhongyi, he thought that he was impregnable, and he could hold Fanyang City for at least half a year, but he only defended it for more than two hours before it fell.

The lesson was unusually tragic, Yelu Hengchang could understand Yelu Huge's worries, and he couldn't help but sigh.

If it is really a frontal battle, don't look at the Khitans who have 350,000 horses. In fact, the ones that can really fight are the 70,000 Pi Room Army and the 80,000 Gong Branch Army, and as for the remaining 200,000 tribal troops, they are weak brigades that can only fight with the wind.

In the upper echelons of the entire Khitan army, only Yelu Hugo was always able to correctly judge the true combat effectiveness of the Li family's army, and other generals were either underestimating the enemy or fearing nonsensically.

"The key to this battle is, how long can our army entangle Li Wujiao?" Although Jeruxiu has made up his mind to fight a decisive battle, he still has great regrets in his heart.

If it weren't for Youzhou City, it would be too important, and Yelu Xiuge would rather lure Li Zhongyi into the vast prairie and then find an opportunity to annihilate him.

To put it bluntly, Li Zhongyi saw Brother Hugh's weakness, why didn't Brother Yelu Hugh know?

"Report to the Lord, the Khitans in front of our army have moved."

Li Zhongyi listened to the report of the throat, and couldn't help touching his chin and laughing: "The tree wants to be quiet, and the wind doesn't stop!" ”

Soon after the words fell, two carrier pigeons flew from the air and landed accurately on the military flag.

Li Zhongyi personally took out two ciphered letters from the legs of the two carrier pigeons, and after personally translating them against the codebook, he immediately ordered: "Pass my order, except for food, weapons, and artillery, abandon all superfluous materials, and advance north at full speed." ”
