(Second update.) ）

Li Congjing rubbed the fifth little head, smiled and encouraged: "You can have such an idea, it comforts my heart." Listening to your words today, I can't help but recall last year, when I first met Changhe City, the scene at that time is still vivid, when you were just an ordinary cardamom girl, except for cleverness, there is nothing I value. Now the years have not passed, and you have become my arm, the vicissitudes of the sea, showing the true character of the hero, fifth, a moment of excellence! ”

Although Li Congjing said this in the end, he was a little ridiculous, but his seriousness was not reduced. The fifth listened, very excited, clenched his fists, "Military marshal, a moment of great mastery!" ”

Li Congjing laughed again.

The two talked happily here, but at this time, they couldn't know that in the distance of a hundred miles away from Yingzhou, a big battle was about to be staged.

After days of intensive investigation, Li Rong, Zhao Xiangyao and others have already detected the route where the Khitan army's grain road is located. In the depths of the mountains and dense forests, more than 100 sharp soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department headed by Li Rong and Zhao Xiangyao, and 800 strong men of the "Righteous Army" gathered in one place from all directions and rushed to the agreed place non-stop.

At night, everyone arrived at the mouth of a valley, and according to the instructions of Li Rong, Huang Zong and others, the brigade took a break in concealment and waited for the march. Li Rong, Zhao Xiangyao, and Huang Zong, Xu Boxian, Lu Junyan and other leaders led a retinue to lurk in a place with a wide field of vision, and checked the movement in the valley from a high place.

In the valley, the lights are lit, and a camp is clearly visible, and there are many people in the middle.

Zhao Xiangyao held a grass stalk in his mouth, lay on the ground, and said: "Yelu is very cautious in stabbing that old thief, looking at the scale of his camp, this group of Khitan barbarians who escort grain and grass has 2,000 people, to say the least, right?" ”

Li Rong knelt down on one knee beside Zhao Xiangyao, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Not only are the number of people no less than two thousand, but they are also well guarded. ”

Zhao Xiangyao sneered and said: "Yelu's enemy stabbed this old thief, surrounded Yingzhou City, knowing that my army could not get out, and still used so many thieves to protect the grain and grass, it's really strange!" ”

Huang Zong took over the conversation and said with a frown: "There are many enemies and thieves, but it is a trouble. ”

Zhao Xiangyao was disdainful, "What's the trouble?" It's just to send me and wait for some more military merits! Speaking of this, he asked Li Rong, "Brother Li, do you have an offensive strategy?" ”

"Although there are many enemies and thieves, but we take the initiative, the method of attacking the camp lies in surprise, and the tactics should strive to be simple and direct, nothing more than four words: single knife straight in!" Li Rongdao.

Zhao Xiangyao nodded in agreement, "That's exactly how it should be." ”

Retreating from the mountain, Li Rong issued a combat order, "When you start fighting, you can enter when you hear the sound of the trumpet, and retreat when you hear the sound of the gong, and you can't be cowardly, and you can't love to fight!" Master Huang, you lead 800 strong men of the 'Righteous Army' to advance with me head-on to meet the Khitan barbarbarians; Commander Zhao, you lead the elite of the military intelligence department to go straight to the grain and grass in the camp and burn the Khitan grain and grass! ”

Although Xu Boxian, Lu Junyan and others have not fought with the army, but after all, they stand up with martial arts, and they have experienced many battles on weekdays, and they may not know the way of battle that is too profound, but if you want to say that you are going to kill head-on, "you will advance when you hear the drums, and you will retreat when you hear the gold", but there is no problem at all. After listening to Li Rong's arrangement, the three of them agreed to the promise at the moment.

At that time, when the Khitan soldiers in the valley were either asleep or mentally sleepy, the nine hundred Tang warriors who had rested in the middle of the night gathered and quickly approached the valley in concealment. After approaching the camp, with Li Rong's order, the sound of the horn suddenly sounded in the valley, echoing unconsciously, circling and rising, and the nine hundred strong men, led by more than two hundred horsemen, let go of their footsteps and rushed towards the camp with a roar.

Before the Khitan soldiers in the camp could react, nine hundred strong men had already rushed to the front of the camp. Led by the sharp soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department, the footsteps of the brigade did not hesitate, and under the salvo of bows and crossbows, the Khitan soldiers on the left and right of the gate fell down from the corner tower and the arrow tower.

All of a sudden, there was a commotion in the camp, and the Khitan sergeants never thought that the Tang army, which was surrounded by the army led by Yelu and was not allowed to go out of the city for half a step, would suddenly appear here in a big way.

Immovable as a mountain, moving as thunder, this elite division should have the demeanor, and the sharp soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department are naturally like this. Eight hundred 'righteous army' soldiers may not be able to fight a protracted war or a war against the wind, but if you want to say that you rush forward with a ruthless force, without paying too much attention to the formation, you are not inferior to anyone, and you don't need to do anything else when you enter the camp at this time, but whenever you see the Khitan barbarian thief, you wave the blade in your hand and greet it, which is extremely rude.

These people who can be called the 'righteous army' of the green forest, are people with a clear conscience, the Khitan has attacked the border for decades, killed countless people, and brought profound disasters to the people in the border areas, many of them have embarked on the road of gathering on the mountain, living a life of licking blood on the knife edge, and the day is precarious, and even more, the family is ruined, relatives are separated, and life and death are separated forever, it is because of the Khitan horseshoe, how can they not hate the Khitan?

However, although they had the intention to kill the thief before, they were unable to return to the sky, and in the face of the Khitan soldiers, they didn't even have a chance to fight the border army, not to mention their green forests? How many people have spent their lives with a heart of revenge and no power to fight against the enemy, and finally died of depression and humiliation for a lifetime?

But today is different.

Today's battle is the first time that these 800 heroes have taken the initiative to raise their swords against the established Khitan army. Not only that, but it is very likely that a big victory will be won, and in such a situation, who is not high-spirited, has a lot of strength, but is determined to use 12 points?

Therefore, as soon as the eight hundred strong men rushed into the camp, they all rushed forward like crazy demons, desperately rushed forward to kill, and when they saw people, they pounced on them, slashing and stabbing them. In the camp tent and outside the camp tent, there were scenes of "righteous army" warriors struggling to kill the enemy, swords piercing the camp tent, blood staining the tent cloth red, and the wounded and dead knocked down braziers and torches, and then knocked down the camp tent again.

In this case, as long as it is not a complete victory or a fiasco, the casualties will not be too much, but the Khitan soldiers in the battalion are powerless to find that these "Tang Army" who rushed into the camp today not only have no rules for equipment, but also have no rules for fighting, so they know that rushing and killing is a completely lifeless way of fighting, which makes them frightened.

This kind of undisciplined tactics during a battle may be tantamount to looking for death, but the attack camp is mostly a melee, and whoever attacks will be able to seize the initiative!

Those who rush are afraid of being stunned, those who are stunned are afraid of horizontal, and those who are horizontal are afraid of dying. Although life and death on the battlefield are commonplace, it does not mean that the soldiers on the battlefield do not want to die, after all, only a very small number of people are willing to fight to the death. They were already in a mess, their resistance was ineffective, and when they encountered these strong men, they couldn't withstand the opponent's tactics soon after the battle, and their psychological defense line collapsed, leaving corpses all over the ground, and they all retreated.

As soon as the Khitan army showed the intention of retreating, not to mention that Zhao Xiangyao seized the opportunity and led the soldiers of the military intelligence department to burn grain and grass, the eight hundred strong men, most of them had only suffered losses in the hands of the Khitan before, and they wanted to kill the Khitan for a lifetime, but they did not encounter the opportunity, and now they saw that the Khitan barbarians were killed and retreated by themselves, and their morale was greatly boosted.

The more fierce the offensive of the "righteous army" warriors became, the more desperate they became, the more frightened the Khitan soldiers became, the more powerless their resistance became, and the retreat had gradually degenerated into a simple escape!

When the battle came here, Li Rong was also shocked when he saw the Khitan soldiers lose their armor and abandon their armor.

To tell the truth, he expected that most of the battle tonight would be won, but he did not expect that the situation would be so one-sided, and it would be so easy and hearty to win! However, what surprised him the most was the fighting spirit of the strong men of the "Righteous Army", these sons and daughters who gathered in the mountains and forests, the green forests that were despised by people on weekdays, saw the Khitan soldiers at this time, all of them were red-eyed, and they did not hesitate to fight with their lives, and the combat power they showed surprised him.

What kind of human heart is available, in terms of war, such a human heart is undoubtedly the most available!

"The border children are hot-blooded, there are real heroes in the recklessness, and the military commander does not deceive me!" Li Rong sighed secretly in his heart.

Originally, in this battle, the main task was to burn the Khitan grain and grass, and he should evacuate when he achieved this goal, but if the situation was like this, Li Rong temporarily changed his mind and did not withdraw his troops without Ming Jin, not to mention that the results of the battle could continue to expand, that is, he sounded the golden gong at this time, and he was afraid that the 800 "righteous army" who killed the red eyes would not be able to hold back before they were exhausted. This should be a negative aspect.

But fortunately, the Khitan only had 2,000 people, so I was not worried that they still had room to fight back.

By dawn, the war was over.

The Khitan camp in the valley has been reduced to ruins, and there are corpses of tragically dead Khitan barbarians everywhere, many of which have been charred, unrecognizable, and turned into a black lump, exuding bursts of foul odor.

As for the grain and grass in the camp, half of them were still safe and sound. This is because Li Rong saw that his own combat strength had already surpassed that of the Khitan, so he stopped Zhao Xiangyao in time, which saved half of the grain and grass. After all, the Yingzhou Tang Army also needed food.

Zhao Xiangyao said proudly: "The Khitan raised troops to invade Youyun, mostly looting grain and grass on the spot, as a logistical supply, this time the Yelu enemy assassinated and attacked Yingzhou, not only failed to give food to the enemy, but the grain he transported from the Khitan thousands of miles away, but gave it to us, if he knew about it, I don't know how he would feel." ”

Li Rong also smiled and said: "I'm afraid that Yelu's enemy assassin will not be able to know about this for a while, last night the Khitan soldiers, although they were lucky to escape, rushed to Yingzhou, but when they left, there was still a fire burning in the camp, but I am afraid that Yelu's enemy assassin can only get the news that all the grain and grass were burned." ”

Li Rong did not expect it badly, and the survivors who fled to Yingzhou did indeed say so when they reported the military situation to Yelu's enemy.

Outside the city of Yingzhou, there was not a grain of grain in the camp of Yelu's enemy, but it could not support it for much time.

When he heard the news that the grain route had been destroyed and the grain had been burned, Jerod almost fainted.

Now Yelu was faced with two choices, either to take the city of Yingzhou before the battalion ran out of food, or to withdraw his troops immediately. If the former can do it, Yelu will not wait until today, so even if he is unwilling to do so many times, he can only choose the latter for now.

However, at this time, Yelu wanted to retreat, but it was not so easy.

Li Congjing has been preparing for this day for a long time.
