Chapter 609: Battle Clouds Gather
Just when Yeluao was fighting a decisive battle with the whole army, Li Zhongyi had already dismounted and boarded the medium-sized command vehicle exclusive to him.
Zhe Congruan didn't want to let go of any details that could be learned, and this old man also unceremoniously followed Li Zhongyi and boarded the car together to watch the entire battlefield from afar.
The rain gradually subsided, and the soldiers of the Li Jiajun pursed their lips one by one, held their spears, stepped on the muddy ground, and moved forward at a medium speed.
Due to the continuous shrinking of the encirclement, the front of the Li Jiajun gradually became thicker and thicker, and the marching drums changed from time to time to make notes that Ruan could not understand.
However, Zhi Congruan noticed a detail, after each change of drum beat, there must be some subtle changes in Li Jiajun's camp.
With the help of a telescope, Li Zhongyi gradually saw the movements of the Khitans clearly: with the continuous increase of military flags, it was obvious that the Khitans were gathering forces to break the encirclement he had laid in one fell swoop.
To the north of the Khitans is the Zhijia army that is rushing to Yu Yong; Its east and south sides are respectively Yang Lie and Liao Shanhe; Inside the gap was the quite brave party cavalry, and the gap was blocked by the Chinese army tooth barracks led by Li Zhongyi.
To the west of Yeluao, Liu Heyang's figure has not yet appeared, at least on the surface, it seems calm.
Li Zhongyi saw that Yelu Ao was just gathering troops and horses, taking a short rest, and did not immediately pounce on the Li family's army, he couldn't help nodding secretly, the Khitan Kingdom can rise, and the generals who lead the troops can't all be wine bags and rice bags.
Yeluao's wisdom has won Li Zhongyi's relative recognition: the Khitan generals in their heyday did not have too bad goods.
However, this recognition is only an appreciation of the enemy's performance above the average level. When the two countries and two armies were fighting, Li Zhongyi would never be merciful.
The people in the encirclement are quite brave. After the soldiers collided with the Khitans, they took advantage of it at first. But. With the continuous arrival of the Khitans, Po Chaoyong, who numbered only 3,000, gradually fell into a bitter battle, and every step forward had to pay a big price.
Cavalry duels, pay attention to speed to win, the area in the encirclement is narrow, whether it is the Khitans, or quite brave, there is not much room for maneuver.
Fortunately, with the complete closure of the encirclement of the Li family's army. Quite Chaoyong didn't need to worry about the two wings being outflanked by the Khitans.
Sprinting, encountering the enemy, waving the knife and picking up, quite a brave and desperate bravery, inspiring the party cavalry to follow and move forward bravely.
In the close-range fighting, Li Zhongyi prepared the steel hand crossbow for the party cavalry in advance, which played an amazing killing role.
In the heavy rain, at least more than 500 Khitan warriors were engaged in the first round of battles. fell under the insidious crossbow fire of the party cavalry, and could never return to the beautiful steppe.
At this time, Yeluao had gathered more than 8,000 Khitan warriors, and he had enough capital to break through. He also has greater confidence.
On the three sides of the southeast, north and south, there are armies of the southern barbarians, but the west has been calm and unwavering.
The Southern Barbarians don't have a saying. Is it called a carving insect technique?
Without hesitation, Yeluao led his army south, heading straight for Li Zhongyi's position in the middle of the army. As he said, the thief captures the king first. If Li Zhongyi's Chinese army was defeated, Yelu was confident that the southern barbarians would definitely collapse.
The sentinels continued to report back the military intelligence in front, and Li Zhongyi had already seen through the monoculars that after the large-scale assembly of the Khitans, they had turned south and were rushing towards him.
The Khitan cavalry group, which could not be seen at a glance, came overwhelmingly, and countless horses' hooves stepped on the muddy grass, making a deafening loud noise, and the power was bound to be revealed!
In the distance, the sound of horns, shouts, and shouts are intertwined into a song of death for the Khitan elite, which is terrifying.
Li Zhongyi held a monocular and observed silently for a while, and he found that although the Khitans were pouring out, they also had a clear front.
The Khitan cavalry numbered about 1,000 people in an echelon, and from the horizon, like locusts, overwhelmingly rushed towards Li Zhongyi's side, boundless, and there was no end in sight.
At this moment, Zhi Congruan's confidence was shaken, he looked at Li Zhongyi worriedly, hesitated for a moment, and finally persuaded: "No blame, you must prevent trapped beasts from fighting." It is better to let the Khitan Tartars out of the gap, our army will attack from both flanks, and the gains will definitely be quite large. ”
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly and said, "We can't cope with such a small battle, how will we set foot in Beijing in the future?" Ancestor Yue, I have made up my mind, I must leave all the Khitans here, so that they will no longer dare to peep at my China at will. ”
Yelu Ao ordered to blow the most inspiring Khitan people's "Nanjing Music", "Nanjing Music" was actually originally called Youzhou Music, Khitan Taizong Yelu Deguang got Shi Jingjiao's dedication to the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, officially laid a strong foundation for the Khitan Kingdom to become stronger and stronger.
In order to commemorate this beautiful event, Yelu Deguang ordered Hanchen and Legong in Youzhou to compose the so-called "Youzhou Music". During the period of Khitan Sejong, "Youzhou Music" was changed to "Nanjing Music" to highlight the strength of the Great Khitan's martial arts.
Li Zhongyi had never heard "Nanjing Music", but the faint sound of the horn was indeed quite imposing, showing the psychological superiority of the Khitans over the southern Han army for a long time.
It is not to blame the arrogance of the Khitans, the divided Central Plains region is indeed powerless to fight against a strong enemy in its heyday.
Since the late Tang Dynasty, in addition to Chai Rong, who once repelled the Khitans in Gaoping, Li Zhongyi also attacked the hinterland of the Khitans.
"Ancestor Yue, you must know that when you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins." Li Zhongyi lowered his face coldly, and commanded ruthlessly, "Reiterate military discipline, those who dare to take half a step back will be killed, and the whole family will be reduced to pariahs." ”
Zhi Congruan gasped, the soldiers of this Yulin Right Soldier are all the descendants of Li Zhongyi's lineage, and the henchmen of his henchmen, but unexpectedly, Li Wuyi actually made such a ruthless move.
"No blame, will it be ......" Without waiting for Ruan to finish speaking, Li Zhongyi waved his big hand and resolutely grabbed the conversation, "Come on, Yue Zu, his old man has a back disease, why don't you hurry up and help him down to rest?" ”
"You...... Okay, ......" Ruan Qile was so happy that he was speechless in a trembling voice, and was forcibly put off the command car by Li Yunxiao, who is usually very well-behaved.
After getting out of the car, he took a few steps out of Ruan, and scolded Li Yunxiao: "Little monkey, you are not small, even the old man dares to catch it?" ”
Li Yunxiao had a bitter face and was about to explain, but unexpectedly, she suddenly burst out laughing and muttered: "You can get out, the old man is going to Tokyo to pick up his grandson, hahahaha......"
Li Zhongyi didn't hear Zhi Congruan's laughter, he ordered again: "Prepare three strikes, prepare cocktails, and apply medicine with steel arrows......"
Li Yunxiao was standing beside Li Zhongyi, he couldn't help but shiver, the so-called medicine was really abnormally vicious, which made people shudder. (To be continued.) )
