After the army crossed the Luan River overnight, it died down and went straight to Pingzhou on the east bank of the Luan River.

At the beginning of Li Zhongyi's western departure from Yuguan, Yelu shouted that he had led troops from Luanzhou to Pingzhou, probably to deter the flank of Li's army.

After Li Zhongyi took the county seat of Anxi, according to the report of the throat, Yelu shouted and retracted back to Luanzhou.

Until, when Li Jiajun crossed the Luan River eastward, Li Zhongyi had not yet received the battle report that Yelu shouted to move closer to Pingzhou again.

According to the plan of the Senate Division, in the case of being outnumbered by the enemy, it is advisable to fight a frontal positional battle with Yelu to exercise the ability of the soldiers and the Khitans to fight in the field.

Therefore, no matter whether Yelu shouted back to Luanzhou or rushed to rescue Pingzhou, Li Zhongyi was ready to fight a tough battle with him!

With the increasing strength of the Li Jiajun, mobility is important, but the ability of the large army to fight is also a necessary combat effectiveness.

Li Zhongyi knew in his heart that one day, he would fight a life-and-death decisive battle with the Khitan, hundreds of thousands of troops would face each other, and it would be impossible to win by tricks!

Taking advantage of the small number of Yelu shouts, using the superior forces, to fight to the death, Li Zhongyi has already been mentally prepared, and it depends on whether Yelu shouts dare to come.

According to military common sense, a large army of 100,000 soldiers, auxiliaries, miscellaneous servants, and slaves could not attack from just one route.

Similar to when he came, Song Yunxiang was deployed to command the whole army to attack Pingzhou quickly. Li Zhongyi's Chinese army, including the Guards and the 3,000 Han cavalry that had been transferred, was far behind the army, hurrying unhurriedly.

No matter what time it is, Li Zhongyi always has a new force in his hands, acting as the general reserve of the entire army.

Since it is a general reserve, the requirements for mobility are obviously higher, which is also the fundamental reason why Li Zhongyi transferred 3,000 Han cavalry from the cavalry compartment.

Originally, there were three guards for one person, plus the addition of three thousand Han army cavalry, it was simply like a tiger with wings, both in terms of mobility and impact, it was quite impressive.

It's just that, at the strong request of Song Yunxiang, Li Zhongyi considered the need to quickly break through the city gate, and the artillery battalion was transferred to Yang Liebu, the First Army, which was responsible for the main attack.

Li Zhongyi was wearing a bulky special Mingguang armor, riding on the back of a sturdy green horse, and the sweaty and bloody horse he used to ride in the past, Blood Kill, was trotting all the way after the green horse Sahuan.

The green horse is a four-year-old mare, it is spring, and the "blood killing" is just in estrus, no wonder it will come up to rub the long neck of the green horse without skin and face.

During the fourth break on the way, Li Zhongyi received the latest enemy information from the front, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses shouted by Yelu set up a large camp under Pingzhou City.

With the support of his attendants, Li Zhongyi got off the Qingcong horse and got into the commander Xi Che, who had been following behind him.

In order to read the map during the march and convene a small meeting of the generals, Li Zhongyi specially prepared this command car.

At this time, the conductor Xi Xi was brightly lit, and the thick curtain covered the windows tightly, and not even a trace of light could escape from the car.

On the left side of the carriage, there is a huge topographic map of thistle, and in the deepest part of the carriage, there is a military sand table with reduced proportions.

Li Zhongyi picked up the magnifying glass resting on the sand table, leaned in front of the military sand table, and carefully checked the detailed battle report sent from the front, inch by inch.

After about a quarter of an hour, Li Zhongyi put down the magnifying glass in his hand, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and couldn't help but smile.

At the beginning, Li Zhongyi overrode public opinion and set up the largest throat rebuke battalion in history, and many people really didn't understand it.

As Li Jiajun's army marched from victory to victory, the importance of the large-scale, professionally and standardized training of the throat rebuke battalion has been widely recognized by the generals in the army.

When a large army goes into battle, it is true that if you don't have enough to eat, you will definitely lose the battle. However, if you don't have elite scouts to make the battlefield one-way transparent, the enemy is likely to take advantage of the information asymmetry and defeat you.

Husband war, the temple is the winner, and it has to be counted as a lot!

In layman's terms, the so-called temple calculation must be based on a large amount of accurate information.

Today, with more than 2,000 elite soldiers, he has become an indispensable helper for commanders at all levels in the Li family's entire family to command marching and fighting.

"I don't know, how does Song Shiguang plan to fight this tough battle?" Li Zhongyi muttered to himself, bowing his head and pondering countermeasures.

Who would have thought that as soon as Li Zhongyi's words fell, there was a report outside, "Hui Ye, Song Du sent someone to send a battle plan." ”

Li Zhongyi raised his eyebrows, nodded with satisfaction, and casually ordered: "Bring it to me." ”

Song Yunxiang's operational plan was divided into five parts, and Li Zhongyi could see that four of them were actually operational plans drawn up by the Senate Department a long time ago.

As for the most important battle plan, it is obvious that some changes have been made temporarily in accordance with the latest movements of Yelu.

After Li Zhongyi carefully analyzed the battle plan, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, although Song Yunxiang has a talent, but because of his talent, he pays too much attention to the battle and is comprehensive in all aspects, and after all, it is not as talented as Yang Lie's talent.

"Someone come, pass on my military order, and scatter half of the guards to the throat, and they must be a hundred miles away." Li Zhongyi has always been worried that Yelu Shouting is a decoy, and the real threat has actually been stopped at the Hugh Ge Army, which has not made any movement in Jizhou.

Li Zhongyi's first battle of Zhaozhou, in which more than 40,000 Khitans were annihilated, was probably a deliberate attempt by Yelu Hugo to kill people with a knife in order to usurp the throne.

As for the fall of Anxi City, it is very likely that Brother Hugh's main force is chasing the rebels of the Khitan royal family, and he didn't care about reinforcing Anxi.

This time, Li Zhongyi stayed for six days in order to empty the seized materials near Anxi.

With the footsteps of the Khitan elite leather room army, six days was enough time for them to cross the Luan River from the downstream and ambush near Pingzhou.

In Song Yunxiang's battle plan, Brother Hugh's possible sneak attack has been taken into account, but Li Zhongyi always feels that Song Shiguang's judgment still has shortcomings.

Li Zhongyi thought about it for a while, considered it carefully, and decisively wrote a handwritten letter and ordered someone to send it to Yang Lie.

Yang Lie, this kid is a natural general, and Li Zhongyi must admit that he is not as good as Yang Lie. Therefore, out of trust and prudence, Li Zhongyi wanted to know Yang Lie's opinion on the battle plan.

However, Li Zhongyi waited left and right, and never waited for Yang Lie's reply. Not only that, but the guards sent to deliver the letter to Yang Lie did not return in time.

If something goes wrong, it's a demon!

Li Zhongyi realized that something was wrong and immediately issued a first-level alert order. For a while, the officers and men of the entire Guards Army all changed into the best horses they had when they charged into battle, sorted out the formation of the marching battle, and waited for further orders from Li Zhongyi.

"Hmph, what a cunning Li Wuyi!" Someone let out a cold muffled snort in the dark, "Pass on my military order, the whole army will press up, don't care about anything else, this king only needs Li Zhongyi's head." ”

Yelu Hugo's front was full of the corpses of the Li family's army, and after he issued a military order loudly, with the sound of a terrible beard, the 100,000 reorganized leather room army, with the sharp spirit of the rebel army that had just been defeated, was like a tide, and controlled the horse at a uniform speed to press Li Zhongyi's Chinese army.
