The Datong army, which hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield in the sea of fire, was like ants running on a hot pot.

Some of them were lost in the sea of fire, but they were basically able to escape from the sea of fire, and under the leadership of their respective generals, they broke through in the direction of Sangjia Pass. Zhang Daqian went to meet these soldiers, while pointing out the retreat route for them, and on the other hand, gathering some sergeants to guide the army and stabilize the morale of the army. Li Congjing was still on the dirt bag, allowing the dense sergeants to pass by him.

Most of these sergeants would look up at Li Congjing when they passed by, but even if there was firelight, they could only see a vague figure in the night, and at most they could see the outline of his face, that young face was resolute and calm, stable as a statue in the night wind and firelight, and as quiet as a pine.

They did not know that this was the man who had brought them back from the palace of Hades today, because they had no words of gratitude. Li Congjing naturally didn't care about these details, because they would know sooner or later.

Zhang Daqian is a qualified general, who may not have much resourcefulness, but he is very responsible and brave enough. The sergeants he gathered together were with him to break off the running Datong army.

When the fire just started, the Datong army was engaged in battle with the Khitan army, and retreated in a hurry, some of the Khitan army could not accept the dispatch of Yelu pheasant, and still bit behind the Datong army, and some Khitan soldiers were afraid of the fire, panicked, and were forced to withdraw in the same direction as the Datong army. These people, no matter what they wanted, Zhang Daqian led his troops upstream, intercepted them all, and slaughtered them all in one fell swoop.

In less than half an hour, the Datong army had all withdrawn from the battlefield, although many soldiers were left here forever due to the death, serious injury, or loss of fire due to inability to run, but many still managed to escape. This place is less than 100 miles away from Sangganguan, as long as you get rid of the enemy army and walk faster, you can run to it in one day.

Li Congjing glanced back at the escaped Datong army, some of them were still in a state of disorderly and chaotic running, but there were also many soldiers who had gradually stabilized their footing under the organization of their respective generals, and were recovering in line and formation. Seeing this, Li Congjing relaxed slightly.

Zhang Daqian led his troops as the rear army, in the final withdrawal from the battlefield, he returned to Li Congjing again, there was no running Datong army on the west side of the hill, this in the army defeated, for the Datong army to break off, to intercept and kill the Khitan army general, at this time although the appearance of the embarrassment, the robe was spread by the flames, burned out some black burns, the face is also a little dark, but the look is vibrant.

"General Li, all the people who can withdraw from the army have been withdrawn, I will return east as soon as possible and go to Sangjia Pass!" Due to the defeat in the war before, Qin Shide was seriously injured, and the negative emotions of worrying about the death of the Datong army were swept away, at this time, Zhang Daqian was not without excitement, looking at Li Congjing's gaze, with admiration, gratitude and respect.

Li Congjing did not move, he said: "Although the army has withdrawn, it is not safe to do so. ”

Zhang Daqian looked back, and could vaguely see the Khitan army looking at them across the sea of fire, and he asked Li Congjing puzzled, "Why is this?" ”

Li Congjing stretched out his finger to the surging sea of fire not far ahead, and said: "Although the weeds here are also luxuriant, it is very easy to burn, but the fire starts quickly and goes quickly, and the weeds can't burn for too long." According to Ben Shuai's estimate, the fire will be extinguished in half an hour at most. He turned his head to look at Zhang Daqian, "Although it is not far to go to Sangqian Pass, it will take a day." You must know that the Khitan horse is fast, and if it wants to chase with its fine horse, it will not take long to catch up with the retreating army. Does the general think that the Datong Army will be able to turn back and fight again? ”

"This ......" Zhang Daqian was a little hesitant and had to admit, "No." ”

The Datong army lost its commander first, and now it is on the way to escape, and the strength to win with the enemy has been exhausted, and the officers and men of the whole army are now single-mindedly worried about the only way to return to Sangjia Pass as soon as possible in order to save their lives. It is the limit to be able to have some soldiers barely in formation, and if they want to turn back and fight with the Khitan army, it is difficult for strong men to win.

But the Khitan army was different, although they had only retreated a little, but first, they injured the commander of the Datong army, and their morale was flourishing, and secondly, they did not suffer any losses, and it was effortless to pursue the Datong army.

Because of this, although the Datong Army temporarily got rid of the Khitan Army, it did not really get out of the predicament.

Zhang Daqian admitted the facts, and Li Congjing continued: "There are not many defenders in Sangganguan, and the ability to respond is limited. ”

Zhang Daqian, as the deputy commander of the Great Unification Army, has insight, and after recognizing what Li Congjing said, he will inevitably be worried. But seeing that the other party was calm and relaxed, and seemed to have made up his mind, Zhang Daqian couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and couldn't wait to say: "General Li seems to have a countermeasure, can you tell him?" ”

Li Congjing smiled and said something that shocked Zhang Daqian, "You go, Ben Shuai stays." ”

……

Seeing that the Datong army fled from the battlefield, and the fire was so big that the Khitan army could not pursue, Yelu Pheasant was angry and kept pacing in place, his face was gloomy and terrible.

Several other Yelu enemies and righteous sons, looking at the appearance of Yelu Pheasant, did not dare to talk nonsense.

When the fire was almost extinguished, Yelu Pheasant stopped and said to the other brothers with a hideous face: "The fire has been extinguished, the Datong army will not go far at this time, they have injured the commander, and they are on the way to death, they will be like a frightened bird, unbearable to fight, if our army chases it, it will be able to break the enemy in one fell swoop!" Who is willing to chase after this general? ”

For the moment, it's a beauty difference. The war is not difficult, as long as there is no mistake, it can even be said to be easy, but the credit is not small, if you have the ability, you can even hold all the Datong troops, so that they can not get close to the Sang Kang Pass, and they will gather and annihilate it, so that everyone has asked for battle.

Yelu Pheasant nodded to three of them, "The third, the fourth, and the sixth, you and the others are all elite cavalry, so you will lead the army to go!" ”

The three of them were overjoyed and promised one after another.

Yelu Pheasant said in a cold voice: "This battle is smooth, there is no reason for the defeat of the army, you must work with one heart and one mind, and take this great achievement for the army, and everyone will be happy at that time." But if the war is unfavorable...... Now that the eighth child is dead, once the father and the king have sinned, you can weigh the weight of it! ”

The three of them looked awe-inspiring and glanced at each other, "We will not fail in our mission!" ”

In a moment, the three of them took 3,000 horsemen, crossed the battlefield where some flames were still burning and were in ashes, and galloped eastward.

Yelu Pheasant saw the army dispatch, glanced at Lao Wu, who was squatting aside and looking up at the sky, didn't say anything, returned to the headquarters with his hands, prepared to gather the army, followed by the fine horseman, and also went east.

In Yelu Pheasant's calculations, it is easy for three thousand elite horsemen to bite those defeated Datong troops, and there is no possibility of defeat, so it is imperative for the army to assemble and catch up and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

However, it didn't take long for Yelu Pheasant to be told by the rangers returning from the east that the three thousand horsemen, who had just traveled for a short time, stopped halfway. Hearing this, Yelu Pheasant thought that something was wrong with his ears, and he forcibly restrained his anger and asked the ranger what was going on in front of him.

The ranger said: "There is a lone rider, standing on the way, blocking the way of the army!" ”

"There is a lone rider, standing on the way, blocking the way of the army?" Jerod approached the ranger and asked word for word.

When the ranger saw Yelu Pheasant's murderous eyes, he also knew in his heart that this reason was indeed too absurd, and he was panicked, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes...... Yes, that's what the three princes said. ”

Yelu Pheasant kicked the ranger over and scolded angrily: "Three thousand horsemen were blocked by one person, there is such a thing in the world?!" Could it be that Li Cunmiao came in person! ”

"It's not Li Cunxuan, it's ......" The ranger knelt on the ground, didn't dare to raise his head, and said tremblingly: "The three princes said that the other party claimed to be Li Congjing!" ”

"What?!" Yelu Pheasant was shocked and lifted the ranger up, "Say it again, who is the other party?" ”

"Indeed...... Li Congjing! The ranger's face turned red, "The three princes don't know whether it's true or not, so they don't dare to move forward in order to prevent an ambush, so they come to ask the eldest prince!" ”

When Li Congjing "envoyed" to the Khitan last year, he was summoned by Yelu Abaoji in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and Yelu Pheasant was able to meet him when he followed Yelu Enemy Lie. Among the eight righteous sons of Yelu Enemy, he is the only one who knows Li Congjing.

Li Congjing's insidious and cunning Yelu Pheasant has a deep understanding, that day he secretly infiltrated the West Building with the help of Yelu Deguang's hand, and even Yelu Abaoji was deflated in Li Congjing's hands, but he couldn't kill it. Since then, Yelu Deguang, Yelu Jochi, Yelu Bei, Yelu Enemy Thorn and others are either famous Khitan generals, or proud sons of the younger generation, which one is not famous on weekdays, but in front of Li Congjing, they have not begged good fruit to eat.

It was Pingzhou, which was not long after the Khitan, and Li Congjing took it back. Such a character, as long as there is some sanity, will not be underestimated, and when facing him, he will not be careless.

"Youzhou is nearly a thousand miles away from here, how could Li Congjing appear here?" In addition to being shocked, Yelu Pheasant's heart was full of doubts, the only way to do it today was to go first to see if the other party was really Li Congjing, if he was frightened away by a pretending Li Congjing, he would definitely become a laughing stock when it was passed out, "Datong Army wants to retreat from my army, do you want to go crazy, and even move Li Congjing out, but I want to go and see it in person!" ”

In the final analysis, Yelu Pheasant didn't believe that Li Congjing had arrived in Yunzhou.

Because it doesn't make sense at all. There was no rumor before, saying that Datang ordered Lu Longjun to come to Feng and Shengerzhou.

Li Congjing glanced at the three thousand Khitan elite horses that stopped a few hundred steps in front of him, and in the long dragon composed of torches, the three thousand elite horses were murderous. Although Li Congjing was sure to withdraw before the other party made a move, he could not stand firm in the face of a large army, and in the face of three thousand fierce soldiers who had the power to destroy the city and might break out and kill at any time, if he did not have great courage, he would not be able to stand firm.

However, Li Congjing's hand was not on the hilt, but he just held the reins of the horse at will.

He saw that among the three thousand horsemen of the Khitan, the first three were talking to each other, not knowing what they were saying, and looked at him from time to time.

From time to time, a team of more than 100 horsemen rushed from the rear, bypassed the military formation to the front of the army, and met with the three people led by him.

Immediately, a commander of a thousand soldiers broke away from the Khitan formation, ran to Li Congjing ten steps in front of him and stopped, pointed at each other, and asked: "That guy on the other side, but Li Congjing was made by the Tang Dynasty Lu Longjie?" ”

His voice was quite loud and spread far away.

Yelu Pheasant did not come forward immediately, and he was probably afraid of fraud, so he sent someone over to investigate the situation first. The commander-in-chief of the three armies does not risk arrows and stones, which is also the opinion of some lieutenant generals and colonels. Now the four fields are pitch black, no one knows what risks are hidden in the darkness, if Yelu Pheasant dares to come to Li Congjing and is killed by someone, it will really become a joke.

Moreover, sending this commander here also has the intention of finding out the truth and the truth. If Li Congjing was stopped by him, or was shocked by his momentum, and did not respond properly, then he would "show the stuffing", and the Khitan army would rush over.

Li Congjing glanced at the commander lightly, looked up at the night sky proudly, and did not say a word.

It's clear that he didn't pay attention to his interest!

Seeing that Li Congjing looked like no one in his eyes, the commander suddenly became angry, but after all, the mission was in his body, he held back his anger and asked loudly twice again.

Li Congjing still ignored him, as if there was a very different scenery in the sky, which was more important than paying attention to the three thousand enemy troops in front of him, and it was worth his attention to see.

The commander of the thousand was so ignored by Li Congjing, he couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, but thinking of his mission, he thought that he couldn't go back like this, otherwise it would be difficult to give an account to Yelu Pheasant - Yelu Pheasant broke the eighth prince because of today's war, and he was angry, but it was not easy to provoke. Because of this, the commander decided to go deeper to test the "Li Congjing" in front of him.

He lightly pinched the horse's belly and took a few steps forward, and at this distance, he could already clearly see Li Congjing's face. In the eyes of the commander, the person opposite the green-shirted steed, looking resolute and cold, his eyes calm and calm, but a little pretentious.

"General Tang on the other side, but Li Congjing?!" The commander asked again.

If it was repeated again and again, he was ignored again, and the commander finally couldn't hold it back, he gritted his teeth, and a bold idea suddenly popped up in his heart: Since he has not encountered any "traps" and "ambushes" so far, it is better to arrest this guy back, and then he is true or false, wouldn't it be clear at a glance?

Thinking of this, the commander of the thousand men lowered his heart, hid this idea in his heart, pretended to be smiling, approached Li Congjing, ready to arrest people violently, and learned the Han accent, and said casually: "I have heard the prestige of General Li for a long time, although I am a Khitan general, I also admire it very much, I never thought that I would meet today, it is really an honor." General Lee, under ......"

At this time, he had approached the Tang man on the opposite side who was almost indifferent, immobile as a mountain and almost stupid, and when he said this, he suddenly slammed the horse's belly! The war horse, which was like a brother to him, suddenly understood what he meant, and suddenly accelerated forward! The commander reached out with one hand and grabbed the Tang people on the opposite side!

The commander suddenly burst out, and Li Congjing's hand, which was originally holding the reins of the horse, had already grasped the handle of the knife at some point.

A cold light flashed.

When he looked at it again, Li Congjing's horizontal knife was still in the scabbard, and his hand was also safe on the horse's reins.

And the commander of the thousand has become a headless corpse!

The blood mist sprayed, and the head flew high and did not know where it fell. The body that ran forward with the war horse rushed out and fell off the horse within two steps.

Li Congjing faced the three thousand Khitan elite horses, and in the other party's surprised gaze, he suddenly let out a loud shout, "I am Li Congjing, the envoy of the Tang Lulong Festival, where is the enemy of Yelu?!" ”

In the neighing of horses, there was a commotion in the front row of the Khitan army.

Yelu Pheasant's face turned blue again, he didn't expect that the commander didn't ask a word, why was he suddenly beheaded by Li Congjing. And it seems that he sent himself to Li Congjing and let Li Congjing cut him off with a knife!

"Big brother, this guy is rampant, don't talk about whether he is Li Congjing or not, let's talk about it!"

"Yes, big brother, let's kill it, even if he is really that Li Congjing, but it doesn't matter!"

"Big brother, let me kill him!"

The three righteous sons of Yelu Lie shouted one after another.

"Shut up!" Yelu Pheasant scolded angrily, and knocked all their words back into his stomach, his face sank like water, and after looking at it for so long, he also saw the clue, "The other party is indeed Li Congjing, otherwise who would have such skills!" When I look at his posture, it is indeed the same as what I saw that day! You only know about killing, killing, killing, but why did Li Congjing suddenly appear here? Haven't you heard that Li Congjing is cunning and scheming? If he dared to stand here, would he come alone, and how could he have no support? ”

The third refused to give up, and said: "But until this time, I haven't seen half of the Tang army, if there is really an ambush, why should Li Congjing show up here, you can set up an ambush for half a way, and attack us calmly, why bother to make a fool of yourself?" ”

Yelu Pheasant said coldly: "What do you know! The way of the art of war, the truth is false, the real is real, how can there be a law? Li Congjing's method of using soldiers is unpredictable, and he has repeatedly defeated His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Yelu Deguang, and Yelu's enemy assassination generals, are they not as good as you? ”

After that, he turned the horse's head and decisively ordered: "Now that the surroundings are like ink, the line of sight is unclear, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, withdraw the army!" ”

……

Li Congjing watched the three thousand Khitan elite horsemen retreat in a hurry, and laughed.

The laughter reached the ears of Zhang Daqian, who was hiding behind the hill and was about to answer him, Zhang Daqian poked his head out and saw that the Khitan army was retreating, surprised and delighted. Looking up at Li Congjing's posture in the wanton laughter, he suddenly felt extremely majestic.
