Chapter 49 He is like a lost dog [third update]

On the same day, when the troops returned to the camp, the morale of Lu Long's entire army was even more intense, whether they fought or not. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Congjing was in the camp, and he could clearly feel the passion of the soldiers, and the boiling fighting spirit seemed to set the whole camp on fire.

That night, Li Congjing commended Xu Jing and Xu Daring for their contributions.

However, trouble arose. Xu Jing and Xu Daring, who had a brilliant performance in today's battle, naturally asked for orders to continue to fight tomorrow, so as to take advantage of the situation to quickly defeat the Khitan, Xu Daring even patted his chest and promised loudly that it would only take half a day tomorrow to push the military formation to the Khitan military camp! And those generals who have never fought refused to fight no matter what, and they are clamoring for the opportunity to fight.

Anyway, this is a happy trouble, although Li Congjing was noisy by the generals, his heart was still comfortable.

The next day, Lu Long's army attacked the Khitan army again, and the battle broke out again.

However, this time, the Khitan army refused to even go out of the camp to fight, but just blindly retreated in the camp, completely defending the camp. This made Xu Daring scold his mother for a while, because he found that the plan he made yesterday was useless, and now he spent half a day to advance to the other party's gate, and it took two moments to walk over.

The Khitan army was based on the camp, but Li Congjing did not think it was bad news, this was the credit of yesterday's battle, and the Khitan army retreated again and again made Li Congjing realize that the end of this war was not far away.

So, he ordered a large army to storm the camp.

......

Jereh was very distressed.

Although he had tried his best to block the news and limit the situation, so as not to let the news of the West Building change and the Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang brothers affect the hearts of the Raozhou army, the news of the chaos in the country and the fire in the backyard still spread overwhelmingly in the camp.

It was none other than Lu Longjun, who spread the news, it was Lu Longjun, who attacked the camp day and night!

As a result, rumors spread in the camp, people in the army were panicked, and the camp was crumbling.

Yelu enemy Lie did not make great efforts to refute the rumors, saying that it was all Li Congjing's conspiracy and tricks, the purpose was to break the Raozhou army from the inside, he did not blame the generals who came to inquire about the truth, and told them that when this time was in danger, you should work together to resist the Tang Army, so as to live up to the monarch and the Great Khitan State, he even took the hands of his cronies with snot and tears, and told the other party with grief that he Yelu Enemy Lie was ready to repay the country with death, even if he was crushed this time, he would die with Li Congjing.

Because of the different objects he faced, Yelu's response and rhetoric were also different, but whether it was a righteous refuting of rumors, a righteous and awe-inspiring preaching, or a heart-to-heart cry, in the end he had only one purpose, that is, to stabilize the morale of the army and save the decline of the Raozhou army.

It's not that his measures haven't had a little effect, otherwise Lu Longjun wouldn't have broken through his camp at this time, but any lies that cover up will eventually be defeated in the face of the facts, otherwise the army will not be in a panic.

What's more, Lu Longjun's offensive has not stopped for a day.

Not only that, but it was probably aware of the declining morale of the Raozhou army, and the Tang army's offensive was becoming more and more fierce day by day.

Today, Jerod even had to go into battle himself, and only then did he succeed in dragging out the battle into the night.

In addition to his anger, Yelu also felt aggrieved in his heart.

In all fairness, he never thought of defeating Li Congjing and repelling Lu Longjun, all he wanted was to block the pace of Lu Longjun's northward march and drag them here.

But now, not only is this small requirement difficult to meet, but Yelu Enemy Lie has to face an even more tragic situation: the Raozhou army has suffered a crushing defeat.

The Lu Long Army, which came from afar, had less than 20,000 troops, and had previously gone through the attrition of the First Battle of Yikun Prefecture, and now it was also a lone army deep into the grassland, with no backup, no response, and no response from both wings. He is the king of the Khitan Southern Courtyard of the martyrdom of Yelu Enemy, a horse and a horse, with great military achievements, admired by 10,000 people, and now he has an army of 50,000 in his hand, so that he can fight in his homeland, but in the end he will be completely defeated by Lu Long's army?

This is very unreasonable, this is simply unacceptable!

Moreover, Yikun Prefecture, as an important town in the south carefully managed by Yelubei, is claimed to be able to resist 100,000 male soldiers, and when the Lu Long Army came north, Yelu Heige also had more than 20,000 foot cavalry in his hands, plus the Raozhou Army, this time the Khitan set up to resist the strength of the Lu Long Army, but it was close to 80,000!

Such a battle has been lost, and the world can't help but ask, is it possible that the defense line of Yikun Prefecture is all paper-paste? The Khitan sergeants are holding burning sticks in their hands, and the ones riding under their crotches are soft-footed sheep?

If the fiasco of the Raozhou army happens, and it spreads out in the future, won't it make the people of the world laugh off their big teeth? How will the heroes of the world view him in the future? scolded him for being light, and it was estimated that everyone would say that he was a Tang spy, otherwise he would not be able to fight such a battle.

Every time he thought of this, Jerod's heart burned like a fire. He has spent most of his life building a famous name and a prominent and powerful position, but now he is about to lose his life, how can he not be anxious, angry, and sad?

The grief and indignation in the hearts of Yelu Enemy Martyrs are really incomprehensible to others.

Just when Yelu's enemy was like a knife, a close general came to report that when he was patrolling the camp, he found a few deserters, and now he was asked to arrest him.

"Deserters?" Yelu's heart was shocked, and deserters began to appear in the army?

"Bring it on!" Yelu was immediately furious, this is worth it, he has been governing the army for decades, and there has never been such a thing under his command.

As a general, Yelu Erlie knows even more that once there are deserters in the army, it will be a serious matter, which not only means that the morale of the army has dropped to the bottom!

After the deserters were brought into the tent, they lay on the ground like frightened lambs, trembling like a sieve, and kept prostrating to Jerod and begging for mercy.

Yelu Enemy Lie wanted to interrogate them, ask them why they fled, ask them if they had forgotten military law, ask them where their courage and dignity as a warrior went, and ask them if they had thought about their families, but seeing the tragic appearance of these deserters, Yelu Enemy Lie lost interest in interrogating them in an instant.

These questions don't need to be asked, because the answers are not hard to imagine.

Yi Xing Yan Shan waved his hand, and Yelu Enemy said tiredly: "Pull it out, kill them all." ”

The close generals asked, "Do you want to notify the sergeant to observe the punishment?" ”

The reason for ordering the officers and soldiers to observe the punishment is that it is necessary to set an example and strictly enforce military law to prevent the continued occurrence of such phenomena.

Yelu Lie thought about it, and finally nodded in agreement, although he wanted to suppress the matter and didn't want the impact of the desertion incident to expand, but after all, the matter had already happened, covering his ears and stealing the bell would only backfire, it was better to deter the soldiers.

"Lead people to strengthen inspections, and if anyone dares to escape at night, they will be killed if they are caught!" Jerod commanded the close general.

After dealing with this matter, it didn't take long for Han Zhongxi to report that the envoys of Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang had come and asked Yelu if he wanted to see him.

Jerod was silent.

Originally, these two groups of messengers were to be seen, and Jerube was the emperor, so how could his envoys not see him? Yerod Light may be the future emperor, and his messenger cannot be ignored.

But Jereh knew better what the two men had sent for.

Since Yelu Enemy Lie had already made up his mind to wait and see Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang fighting each other, how could he change his mind at this time? Especially at this time, he is difficult to protect himself, and it is impossible to throw himself to anyone, so it is better not to see it.

"If you don't see them, it's better to see them all." Han Zhongxi persuaded, "Now that the king is fighting for the country, how can you not let people know the king's hard work and loyalty to the Great Khitan Kingdom?" ”

Han Zhongxi's words were not finished, but Yelu Enemy Lie understood the other party's meaning, if neither of them was seen, then both of them would be offended, if Yelu Enemy Lie defeated Li Congjing, it would be fine, if he didn't win, I am afraid it would be difficult to explain in the future.

Jerod had no choice but to fight his spirits, and at such a critical juncture, he still had to deal with the messengers of Jelubei and Yerod's light.

Unfortunately, the whereabouts of Yelubei and Yelude's light envoy were discovered by Lu Longjun. Li Congjing's marching army has always paid attention to the use of scouts and rangers, and Lu Longjun has a deep inheritance and has always done a good job in this regard. In addition, now that Lu Longjun has the initiative and victory on the battlefield, he is naturally willing to let go of the rangers to monitor the movements of Xilou and Yelubei and Yeludeguang.

Just when Yelu was trying his best to deal with the envoys of Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang, Lu Long's army attacked the Raozhou army camp at night.

In fact, it can't be regarded as an attack, these days Lu Longjun has been attacking the Raozhou army camp day and night, which has always made the Raozhou army in a state of nervousness, and the defense in all aspects is very sufficient, but no matter how thoughtful the arrangement of the Yelu enemy lies, it can not resist the sluggishness of the morale of the soldiers of the three armies.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the whole camp suddenly had a tendency to be in chaos.

Especially the Lu Long Army, who attacked the camp, learned that his side had attacked the camp, so he had to increase the intensity of the attack, and Li Yanchao, who commanded the battle tonight, had no choice but to send more men and horses to reinforce the troops who broke the camp.

The Khitan sergeants in the camp of the Raozhou army, galloping back and forth, shouting loudly, there were troops near the left, hurriedly rushed to the place where the camp was broken to reinforce, and the sergeants who were already not high in morale had to touch the brazier and other things in a panic, causing more chaos and attracting the generals to shout and scold.

The Raozhou army, which was resisting the frontal attack of Lu Long's army, was inevitably distracted, worried about the battle where the camp was broken, afraid that the Tang army would kill through the camp from there and kill from behind.

After days of defeat, days after days of hard fighting, at this time, everyone is thinking more about how to save their lives than how to defeat the enemy in front of them.

Without paying attention, he asked Lu Longjun to break through a camp head-on, and entered the camp, and suddenly the Khitan soldiers guarding the camp here were defeated in a large area, shouting again and again, nothing more than saying that the camp could not be held.

Yelu hurriedly withdrew and returned and organized the whole army to resist.

Hearing the tsunami in the Tang Army outside the camp, and seeing the fire points on Wanma Slope converging into a river, I didn't have to think that Lu Longjun had already dispatched the whole army now, and wanted to settle the battle in a battle.

Yelu was in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered his henchmen and generals to meet the enemy everywhere, and then he didn't dare to hold it anymore, put on his armor and mounted, and led his guards to meet the enemy.

In the middle of the night, the ghosts cried and the wolves howled.

It is also thanks to the fact that Yelu is a military master, and the rules and regulations of the camp construction are moderate, and he has not forgotten to strengthen the defense for several days, and the elite of his descendants is not paper paste, and he fought to the death as the backbone, so he barely held the camp.

Finally insisted until dawn, but Lu Longjun saw that he could not do anything, so he burned several camps and left.

Counting the casualties, Yelu was taken aback, and in the battle last night, he lost thousands of soldiers and horses.

Then I figured out the reason, it must have been many sergeants who deserted at night!

Yelu was so angry that he climbed high and looked, and saw that the camp was in chaos, especially the several camps burned by Lu Long's army, which had been ruined into ruins, the fire was extinguished in them, black smoke rose everywhere, and the corpses were even more difficult to count.

The soldiers walking in the camp were exhausted and depressed, like mourning.

On the other hand, the Tang army camp has strong barriers, strict rectification and killing, a large number of soldiers, fluttering flags, eyeing them, and it seems that they may attack again at any time.

"The king......" henchmen and generals stopped talking.

"That's it!" Yelu Enemy Lie sighed, "Intensify the renovation of the camp and treat the wounded." ”

Because of last night's battle, the Tang army also needs to take a little rest, and will not come to trouble again for a while.

But what about tomorrow?

Many sergeants fled the camp last night, but what about tonight?

The Lu Long army did not attack again for a whole day, but the generals of the Raozhou army were not happy, they all knew that the Tang army was just storing up the spirit to defeat them in one fell swoop in the coming day.

With last night's battle, almost the entire army in Raozhou has lost morale, and it will be difficult to block the offensive of the Tang army.

But Jerod had a plan.

His plan was to withdraw his troops.
