After the Lingzhou army came out, they galloped all the way, and crossed the old Great Wall of Dingbian on the second day. [][][]

Although he did not have first-hand information at hand, with his familiarity with the geography of the northwest, he immediately felt that Li Zhongyi did not directly attack Xiazhou in the east.

After crossing the dilapidated Old Great Wall, the Lingzhou army changed its course to the north, and the march was significantly faster than on the first day.

According to Ruan's estimates, in the middle of the night, the Lingzhou army moved out at least 150 miles.

Zhe Congruan looked at the countless carts passing by the horse, the infantry army on horseback, and the large Han barbarian cavalry that controlled the horse and moved forward, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, the entire Lingzhou army has been transformed into mules and horses, how can the offensive degree of the army not be happy?

When camping at night, Zhi Congruan deliberately followed Li Zhongyi's side, he wanted to see how Lingzhou set up camp?

It's a pity that from beginning to end, Li Zhongyi did not issue a single military order about camping.

Zhe Congruan has always wondered in his heart, if the commander does not give an order, how can the soldiers below dare to set up camp?

However, the matter was beyond Ruan's comprehension, and when Zuo Ziguang came to Li Zhongyi with the detailed plan of camping, this Li Dashuai just took it and took a brief look, and then handed it back to Zuo Ziguang's hand.

Until, after Zuo Ziguang left and walked away, Zhi Congruan, who had been staying by Li Zhongyi's side, didn't see Li Zhongyi say more than half a sentence.

As he began to set up camp, he heard the horses' hooves and drifted away, and he thought about it. I'm afraid that the cavalry is camped out to defend the main infantry of the Chinese army, right?

An hour and a half later, Zuo Ziguang walked into the big tent and reported, "Xiang Shuai." Our army has set up camp. ”

Li Zhongyi turned his head to look at Zhi Congruan, who had not squeaked, and said with a smile: "Zhegong, it's still early before the time to eat, why don't you inspect the Dazhai where the sons and daughters are rooted?" ”

Zhe Congruan Zheng had this thought, so he smiled and said: "I don't dare to ask for it." ”

So, under the leadership of Li Zhongyi. Fold from Ruan's side, and the two rode away from the Chinese army and began to patrol around.

The commander of the tooth made Li Yunxiao take the lead. In front of Li Zhongyi and Zhecong Ruan's horses, about a city of tooth soldiers, riding horses, surrounded them.

In the light of the torches, Zhe Congruan could see it clearly. I also listened very carefully. Every time they inspected a camp, the officers and soldiers guarding the gate shouted loudly: Password!

Not only that, even if the password is right, the general who guards the door will still send someone to carefully check the Chinese army waist card that Li Yunxiao carried.

Zhecong Ruan Nai is a famous general who leads troops to fight old battles, and he naturally knows very well in his heart that the password and waist card. These two things alone are enough to prevent enemy troops from stealing camps disguised as friendly troops!

As the patrol progresses. Zhe from Ruan gradually saw more doorways. The entire Lingzhou army was encamped, the outermost was the rangers on duty at night, the inner side was the camp of the nomadic cavalry, and the innermost was the infantry camp of Commander Li Zhongyi.

Zhi Congruan noticed that the rangers of the Lingzhou Army, generally in teams of five, spread far away, and used sharp bamboo whistles as a tool to convey messages to each other.

The camp of the steppe nomadic cavalry was loosely tied, and the camp was densely surrounded by all kinds of large and small horses, and the horses were all hung with copper bells fluttering in the wind and sounding crisply.

According to Ruan's secret observations, even the nomadic cavalry, which had always been loosely disciplined, was fundamentally different from the camping method of the Tuoba Division. At present, almost all the horses of the nomadic cavalry are tied to the door of each tent, and there is a special person responsible for guarding and feeding.

From the perspective of actual combat, Zhi Congruan immediately realized that as long as there was a vigilant movement in the distance, as long as the nomadic cavalry in each tent was not stupid enough to strip naked and fall asleep, they would almost have enough time to quickly assemble and stand by.

After inspecting the periphery for a whole circle, Li Zhongyi accompanied Zhe from Ruan back to the Chinese army camp.

At this time, Zhi Congruan noticed that the camp of the Lingzhou infantry army not only had a high wall, but also a deep pit dug in front of the wall.

Well, although it is a little conservative, it is really not good to sneak attack such a well-defended camp!

Zhe Congruan carefully pondered a number of ways to sneak attack this place, and after repeated arguments in his mind, in the end, he had to choose to give up.

Zhe Congruan thought to himself, Li Zhongyi, this kid, made the camp tighter than a turtle shell, and his cautious use of troops can be seen from this.

Li Zhongyi's garrison camp could only be attacked, and there was no way to attack it secretly.

After returning to their respective tents, Li Zhongyi changed into civilian clothes, and as soon as he sat down in front of the brazier in the tent, he saw the tooth soldiers come to report, "The commander is here." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, and he inspected the camp with Ruan just now, this old man has been silent and has not said half a word, but now that he has settled down, this old man came uninvited, it is conceivable that something must be wrong.

After inviting Zhe Congruan into the big tent, Li Zhongyi originally wanted to be polite, but he heard Zhe Congruan ask straight to the point: "Li Shuai, when the camp was set up, the soldiers lit countless torches, aren't they afraid of alarming the Tuoba clan?" ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, took a sip of hot tea, and then explained slowly: "Our army sent troops to Xiazhou, and we were not afraid of being known by the Tuoba family. ”

"Oh, please forgive the old man for daring to ask for details?" Zhe Congruan asked Li Zhongyi quietly.

Li Zhongyi smiled faintly and said: "The main force of the Tuoba family has been far away from Xiazhou, if the left-behind troops of the Tuoba family in Xiazhou dare to go out of the city for a decisive battle, wouldn't it be in my arms?" ”

Zhi Congruan touched his white beard and said with a smile: "If the Tuoba family stays in Xiazhou, what can Li Shuai do?" ”

Li Zhongyi took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "If you don't have the certainty of breaking through Xiazhou, Xiaguan An dares to go out of Lingzhou lightly and attack Xiazhou from afar?" He deliberately sold a pass and did not reveal his intention to use explosives to collapse the city wall of Xiazhou.

Zhe Congruan narrowed his eyes, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Since Li Shuai is so sure, then the old man can only wait and see." ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, even if Zhe Congruan is a hegemon in the northwest and a famous general who has won a hundred battles, but explosives are an actual combat "artifact" that spans hundreds of years, and it is definitely impossible for this old man to know how powerful it is.

"Li Shuai, the old man has something unclear, I want to ask a question or two, I don't know if it's okay?" Fold Congruan put down the teacup in his hand and stared at Li Zhongyi's face with a smile.

Li Zhongyi said with a smile: "Lao Linggong is not an outsider, even if he has something to say, he can speak out." ”

Zhi Congruan asked slowly: "The party members have always refused to accept constraints, I don't know what means Li Shuai used to make him so obedient?" ”

Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, and said: "Mobilize slaves to fight nobles, divide their cattle and horses, pastures and subordinates, and destroy those who have anti-bones in the back of their heads, this matter is easy!" ”

Zhe Congruan savored Li Zhongyi's explanation, and when he analyzed the deep meaning of Li Zhongyi's words, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, what a ruthless poisonous plan! (To be continued!)
