After Li Congjing returned to the battle, he ordered the army to build a camp. It was not early, and the construction of the large camp here should not be hasty, but should be strengthened to prevent the Khitan barbarians from attacking and attacking. The officers and men of the Datong Army also knew the power of it, and when facing an enemy several times their size, although they had won several victories one after another, they did not dare to take it lightly at all, and according to the standards laid down by Li Congjing, they dug ditches and built walls, and they were busy in full swing.

In the makeshift military tent, Li Congjing summoned the generals of the Datong Army to discuss the next actions and future tactical arrangements. Regarding this matter, in fact, Li Congjing and Zhang Daqian have already explained before, but they are all general, and there is no specific way to arrange the actions of each command on the battlefield, so this military discussion is mainly to solve this problem.

The scene of Li Congjing humiliating Yelu Enemy Lie and Han Zhongxi in front of the battle, all the generals of the Datong Army saw it, they already knew that Li Congjing was good at planning, good at layout, and brave and capable of fighting, and good martial arts.

However, these generals and colonels of the Datong Army found that the more they understood Li Congjing, the more they found that they could not see through him. He is always surprising and unexpected, and his talent is like a bottomless spring, and you never know when you will see the undertone.

In the past few days, they have first seen Li Congjing's courage and wisdom, so Li Congjing has left an impression of a wise general in their minds; But then, Li Congjing led a thousand horsemen to defeat the Khitan 3,000 pursuers, and even took the lead in killing the enemy formation, and killed Yelu Pheasant and other four generals in the enemy formation, so they knew that Li Congjing's martial arts were indeed as rumored, so the impression of Li Congjing in their minds had a lot of fierce and capable fighting spirit, masculine and murderous.

At this point, they thought that they had a comprehensive understanding of this young Jiedu envoy, and the face of a wise and brave man was complete enough, in all fairness, in this era when reckless generals were in charge, many people became the main generals of an army by virtue of bravery, and there were not many people who could take care of both wisdom and bravery. But then, after conquering Shengzhou City, Li Congjing proposed a strategy to pacify the people and settle the city, and appointed a group of reliable civilian officials to govern these generals of the Shengzhou Civil Affairs Datong Army after the war found that the original general with both wisdom and courage not only knew about battlefield battles and killings, but also had political talents, and could preside over political affairs and handle the civil affairs of one side in an orderly manner.

If he admired Li Congjing before, then at this time, the generals of the Datong Army looked up to Li Congjing. You must know that since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the power of the gate lord clan has been greatly reduced, and it has reached a time when there is no influence in sight, followed by a shortage of scribes and political talents, and at this time, being able to deal with a civil administration is not only a matter of ability and acquired efforts, but also has a good talent.

Imagine a person, can be civil and martial, martial can be a country, and Wen can be an anbang, can he not be a hero for a while, as long as his luck is not too bad, can he still achieve a great feat? Such a person is probably the appearance of a real superior.

But today, when they saw that Li Congjing's words made Yelu's enemies tremble with anger and could only retreat in embarrassment, the generals and colonels of the Datong Army found that the portrait of the superior in their minds was blurred again. The look added this time is elegant, the posture of learning, the grace of a scholar, and the chic and uninhibited. If the previous portrait of Li Congjing was still very clear, then now, Li Congjing's face has become blurred again. Because most of the generals of the Datong Army are no longer able to locate Li Congjing in their limited knowledge.

What kind of face and what kind of portrait such a person should be is really difficult to carve. Because the image is rich and three-dimensional, this image cannot but be difficult to paint, so that these Datong soldiers can no longer show it.

Looking at Li Congjing again, what catches his eye is still that young and handsome face, on this face that has not yet had too many traces of the vicissitudes of time, it is difficult for the generals and colonels of Datong to see what kind of experience is hidden under this special and ordinary face, and what kind of life is hidden. That's not something they can imagine.

In the eyes of admiration, admiration, and convincing, Li Congjing is no different from usual, still standing upright, standing quietly and calmly, and with a good demeanor.

Li Congjing said: "Today, after I waited here to get here, I fought with the Khitan army for a while, and I found out the combat strength of the opponent's army formation, and I also had a deeper understanding of the Khitan army under the command of Yelu Enemy Lie. Over the past few days, although the Khitan army has suffered repeated defeats and losses under our hands, it has not affected its fundamental combat strength. Whether it is against Sangganguan or against our 5,000 soldiers, the Khitan army still retains the possibility of winning a battle. Therefore, you must not take it lightly, Yelu Lielie has enough troops and strong capital, he can afford to lose a few battles, but I can't afford to lose for a while. ”

The generals agreed awe-inspiringly, and they did not have the slightest objection to Li Congjing's opinions and arrangements. Although they only got along for a few days, their trust in Li Congjing no longer allowed too many soldiers of Lu Longjun and the Hundred Battles Army.

When led by someone who is much stronger than yourself, it is wise to maintain maximum trust in him.

Seeing the solemn faces of the generals, Li Congjing smiled and said with a little ease: "Of course, after all, the Khitan army has been defeated for a few battles, and there are not a lot of losses. As long as we don't make a big mistake, it will be quite difficult for Yelu Enemy Lie to repel us! But this is to build confidence in the generals.

Zhang Daqian exhaled, revealing a sense of relaxation, and said with a smile: "Yelu Enemy Lie, this old thief, has repeatedly suffered losses under our subordinates, and has lost his troops and generals, but I don't believe it if I have no fear of us." I am afraid that today he was humiliated by General Li in front of the battle, and he couldn't pull his face, and he was eager for revenge, so he would urge the army to suddenly come to the battle! ”

Li Congjing shook his head and said confidently: "If it is an ordinary general, if he is humiliated by me today, he may lose his mind, be anxious to fight, and behave at a loss, but Yelu Enemy Lie has gone through a hundred battles, and he is one of the most famous generals in the Khitan country, and he has made outstanding contributions. ”

"Then according to General Li's intentions, what will happen to Yelu after the enemy returns to the camp?" A general of the Datong Army asked.

Li Congjing said: "In my opinion, after Yelu Enemy Lie returns to the camp, he will be more cautious when planning the battle, and even does not rule out the possibility of shrinking the front and becoming constrained. ”

"In the face of a strong enemy, use troops cautiously, step by step, this is the way to fight!" Zhang Daqian agreed with Li Congjing's point of view and echoed it, "Yelu is a famous general, and he is old, his heart must be very calm, but it is also a little difficult to make him make mistakes. "It's not just a little difficult, it's hard.

Li Congjing nodded and continued: "Fortunately, we are not in a hurry to fight, and the cautious use of troops by Yelu is also beneficial to us. As a matter of urgency, we need to follow the previous plan, stick to the camp, prevent the Khitan army from taking advantage of it, and make a posture that threatens the Khitan army's heart, so that it cannot attack Sangkan Pass with all its might. And once its offensive against Sang Kang Pass is too large, we can go out of the camp to attack! ”

The generals should be, and the capital should be like this.

Next, Li Congjing named the commanders of the Datong Army one by one, arranged specific military arrangements, and after the generals received the orders, they went to arrange the actions of the subordinates without mentioning it.

However, it was said that on this day and night, the Datong army tried to launch a night attack on the Khitan military camp, but Yelu was obviously prepared, and the Datong army did not take any advantage. However, Li Congjing's original intention was not to break the camp, but to order the army to retreat after seeing that the Khitan defense was moderate, and he was not annoyed.

It's just that this night attack kicked off the prelude to the Datong army's attack and disturbance. Throughout the night, all units of the Datong Army took turns to go into battle, bypassing the outside of the Khitan military camp, shooting rockets into the camp from time to time, or raising shields to try to rush the camp, or just waving flags and shouting outside the camp, so that the Khitan army had to be on guard at all times and could not rest peacefully. Although he was commanding the Datong Army, which had never fought like this, because the Datong Army was also elite, his military orders could be carried out accurately and in a timely manner, so this battle was also handy.

Even if he couldn't sleep peacefully after being disturbed by Li Congjing's attack, Yelu Dilie did not send a large army out of the camp to attack, after all, there are too many unknowns and variables in the dark night, and it is difficult to get out of the camp rashly.

It was also thanks to Yelu that Li Congjing had no chance to find a hole to drill into his camp and burn his tents, baggage, and grain.

On the second day, the Khitan army continued to attack the Sangkan Pass.

In the military camp of the Datong Army, a very high watchtower has been erected, and Li Congjing stands on the watchtower, and can clearly see the battle in Sangganguan, and even the situation in the Khitan military camp can be seen seventy-seven eighty-eight. It can be seen that the Khitan army is very similar to conquering the Sanggan Pass, so the attack on the Sangkan Pass is very fierce, but its soldiers did not rest well last night, and today's battle looks lively, but in fact it has not achieved any substantive results. Especially in the afternoon, the Khitan army attacked the army at Sanggan Pass, and its combat strength was already quite weak.

During this period, Li Congjing twice sent the elite of the Datong army to attack the Khitan army from behind. Engaged the Khitan soldiers who were arranged outside the camp and were waiting for the battle, but just as the Khitan army could not conquer the Sangjia Pass, the Datong army could not break its military formation.

However, even if the Datong army could not break through its military formation, Li Congjing's strategic purpose was achieved, what he wanted was to make Yelu enemy Lie unable to hold the pass with peace of mind, so as to ensure that the Sang Khao Pass was not lost.

At the end of the day, the smoke of Sangganguan was in the sky, and the battles of all the departments were fierce, but there were no results, just some corpses of soldiers were left behind.

At dusk, before dusk, Yelu Dilie and Han Zhongxi stood on the watchtower, overlooking the situation on the battlefields on both sides.

Yelu's face was very bad, and he could see the situation of today's battle, which made him very angry.

The Khitan army can't go on like this, and Yelu Enemy Lie can also see that if it continues to be consumed like this, the Khitan army can only wear out its advantage step by step. In the end, when its troops lose their sharpness and become a tired division, the situation will be reversed, and the situation of the Khitan army will become extremely unfavorable.

Pointing to the Datong army barracks, Yelu made up his mind, "Tonight, storm this camp!" ”
