Outside Yuguan, there are more than 100,000 elite Khitan iron cavalry, and although Li Zhongyi has few soldiers, he now has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, guarding the dangerous pass, which is more than enough. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

If there was a decisive battle between Yuguan and Yelu Hugo with their backs, the generals of the Li family army had already discussed that with sharp weapons such as the divine arm bow and crossbow and the "cocktail", the victory rate of the Great Zhou side exceeded 60%, but the loss was likely to be extremely huge.

After all, Yelu Huge is not a person who has a false reputation, and the hundreds of thousands of Khitan elite iron horsemen are not vegetarians.

In the last battle of Zhaozhou, Li Zhongyi was able to annihilate more than 40,000 Khitan elites, but in fact, he was calculated by heart and unintentional, coupled with the advantage of the terrain, which was somewhat of a fluke.

This time, Yelu Huge's men were stronger and stronger, almost five times as strong as Li Zhongyi. The battlefield is again in the northern Hebei Plain of Yima Pingchuan, even if the Li Jiajun reluctantly wins, it will be difficult to expand the results of the battle, and the second will not be small.

Based on Li Zhongyi's understanding of Yelu Huge, even if the Khitan No. 1 general wants to fight him, he will lead him out of the pass to the Great Plains to fight a male and female, and then launch a siege on all sides, which is the best tactic to play to his strengths and avoid weaknesses.

Li Zhongyi's heart is like a mirror, since he defeated the coalition forces of the grassland head-on, the divine arm crossbow and "cocktail" he mastered must have been passed on to the ears of Yelu Hugo by the defeated soldiers on the grassland.

It is no exaggeration to say that aside from the long-range high-power weapon that came out in advance, the "devil's cocktail" equipped with the improvised launcher is an epoch-making melee artifact.

Li Zhongyi clearly remembered that during the 13-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, what really made the KMT army suffer enough in close combat, in addition to the Type 92 infantry gun, was the 8*9 grenadier that could fire chemical grenades.

It's just that the Japanese army's grenadier has a maximum range of 700 meters and an effective range of 500 meters.

The maximum range of the "devil's cocktail" invented by Li Zhongyi is only about 70 meters, and the distance of the hand throw is only 30 meters.

Li Zhongyi has been thinking that after returning to Kaifeng, he must develop a catapult device with a longer range.

If Yelu Hugo is not a fool, in fact, he can't be a fool, he will definitely notice that the existence of the "devil's cocktail" is the biggest obstacle that needs to be overcome in the Khitan head-on battle.

No matter how powerful the Divine Arm Bow is, as long as the Khitans are willing to work hard and equip them with thick shields, they can actually reduce the losses in the process of charging to a bearable range as much as possible.

The problem is that the fire net formed by the "devil's cocktail" is obviously an insurmountable barrier, which not only gives Yelu Hugo a headache, but also makes the Li Jiajun invincible.

Because of this, after countless debates, the Senate came to a clear conclusion that if the Khitan people wanted to completely annihilate the Li family's army, they could only take the best way for the grassland people to lure the enemy deep, find an opportunity to cut off the grain route, and finally the famous wolves pounced on it.

Although he has the capital for head-on confrontation, Li Zhongyi still has great regrets. Although it is that if you are not ambushed, you will not be annihilated, but even if the people on horseback can't be defeated, they can drive cattle and sheep and move to the depths of the desert.

With the 40,000 or so people that Li Zhongyi has at hand, he doesn't need to think about it, it is impossible to annihilate one person and three horsemen, or even Yelu Hugo, who is four horsemen.

In the final analysis, Li Zhongyi's cavalry strength is still too small. Although the Li Jiajun has completely completed the transformation of mules and horses, except for the thousands of cavalry in the long-trained cavalry battalion, the rest of the soldiers are at most infantry tied to horses.

The mighty army, galloping across the prairie, holding the bow while controlling the horse, Li Zhongyi is at most looking forward to it, which is not realistic at all.

The confrontation between the Great Zhou and Khitan armies passed day by day, and the two months passed in a flash, and the bitter autumn wind began to roar on the northern land.

Li Zhongyi looked at the increasing number of fallen leaves in the courtyard, and couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, Brother Hugh, the cold winter is coming, you should stop a little, right?

The soldiers of the Li family who stayed leisurely in Yuguan enjoyed a steady stream of rations from the Goryeo Kingdom every day, and it is said that these delicious meals were saved from the teeth of the common people of the Goryeo Kingdom to supply the "filial piety" of the Celestial Empire.

Not only that, under the pressure of Jin Zinan's efforts, the winter clothes, shoes and socks of the whole army of the Li Jiajun have also been prepared, and they are waiting to be loaded and shipped north to Yuguan on the wharf along the coast of Goryeo.

Although the imperial court has been secretly withholding supplies to the Li Jiajun, the various materials transported from Dengzhou are still not to be underestimated.

No matter what you say, the imperial court did not dare to force the "Li Jiajun" at this juncture, so it had to pinch its nose to send food and drink, as well as knives, guns, bows and crossbows and other combat equipment.

According to the news secretly transmitted by Wang Dahu, at this time, Li Zhongyi's prestige in the Great Zhou Dynasty has been close to Huo Quai, who is a wolf and a wolf.

Li Zhongyi touched his nose and compared him to Huo Qu's disease, which cannot be regarded as good news, but it is not the worst.

As for the rumors that someone is talking in the capital, there is a rumor that Cao Reckless will reappear and the Great Zhou will change the sky, which is very intriguing!

Li Zhongyi is not scared, he has today's achievements and status, which are all from the sea of corpses and blood, fighting with a knife and a gun.

When he was still serving as the governor of the government, Li Zhongyi saw a clear fact that many so-called rumors were actually deliberately released by the palace.

This kind of "palace-made" rumors are often extremely lethal, or they scare the parties to take the initiative to ask for bones and abandon their positions and go into hiding; Either that, they are testing the true thoughts of all kinds of powerful ministers.

Li Zhongyi has always been a staunch superrealist, whether it is to compare him to Huo Quai, or Cao Mang, as long as Li Jiajun is firmly pinched in the palm of his hand, who dares to move?

In the Three Kingdoms, the general He Jin was stupidly sent into the palace by the Ten Constant Attendants and died, but he was cheaper than Dong Zhuo and Dong Taishi.

Don't talk about anything else, there are no vain soldiers under the fame, especially the Li Jiajun, who is a well-deserved iron army that fought hard from the battlefield.

The reason is obvious, the ministers and important generals in the court, it is estimated that everyone does not look at Li Zhongyi very well. But the problem is, even if they conspired up and down to secretly kill Li Zhongyi, who would dare to guarantee that there was no second Dong Zhuo hidden in the Li family's army?

The historical lessons of the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the abolished Dong Taishi, and the vainly proclaimed emperor Yuan Shu, the profound lessons of their bodies have been warning future generations, whoever is the first to be the first to be the first to be unlucky, and will die an ugly death.

In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers, and Li Zhongyi has always deeply believed in this!
