Chapter 23 Ten Years of National Humiliation and Never-ending War (2)

After Li Congjing left the captain, the body of the commander was slashed by the soldiers who followed, perhaps because his body was better than ordinary people, so it was not until his upper body was cut flat that his waist fell from the horse. After landing, it was trampled into a pulp by the horse's hooves.

There is no doubt about the combat power of Junzidu, even in these days on the grassland, it has turned thousands of miles, dozens of battles of all sizes, and at the same time of huge casualties, the quality of the soldiers has also been greatly improved, they may not have fully mastered the skills of the Weihuo grassland campaign, but they can no longer be called Khitan soldiers to be underestimated. This encounter bit a large piece of flesh and blood on the Khitan army formation.

However, the long-term campaign also consumed a lot of their energy, and various symptoms of unadaptability were also testing the mental and physical strength of the sergeants. However, when Li Congjing appeared in front of them again and led them to charge forward again, they were still an elite division with impeccable fighting spirit and combat power. With 2,000 men fighting 20,000 people, the gentlemen all broke into the Khitan army formation, and kept moving forward while firmly hugging each other.

The Khitan army had 10,000 people, but it did not surround the Junzi for a while, and the soldiers who could fight the Junzi face-to-face were only a part of the 10,000 people. Some time before the battle began, when it came to killing, there were main generals charging ahead, and the gentlemen with a rainbow had a slight upper hand.

When the battle lasted for half an hour, both Li Congjing and Junzi were ordinary soldiers, and their hands were stained with the blood of Khitan soldiers. They went up against the current in the Khitan array, towards a brute bull that was burying their heads in, pushing the Khitan army to retreat step by step.

"Rice buckets, all rice buckets!" Jerod roared, "Rush up, rush up for me, pile them to death!" ”

Yelu Deguang saw the scene of Li Congjing beheading the commander under his command, and his teeth itched with hatred. This time he followed him to fight are his descendants, whether it is loyalty or combat power, it is extremely valuable to Yelu Deguang, in his original plan, this time he went to war, the Tang army of only 2,000 people will definitely flee from the wind, before he has been worried that the Tang army will run too fast, so he has no use, so he has been stepping up the march.

When the two armies were very close to each other, Yelu Deguang, who knew that the other party could not escape, was very relieved, especially when this Tang army, which was like a turtle in an urn, did not know whether to live or die, and charged at his army, he could hardly suppress his laughter.

All the changes began to appear in Yelu Deguang, who recognized Li Congjing.

Blended with the military formation, Li Congjing, who was at the forefront of the charge, was very easy to identify.

Jerod almost thought he was dazzled.

How did Li Congjing end up here? Isn't he supposed to be in the territory of the Yellow Head and the Stinky Place, and is being beheaded by Jerube? How did he escape, and how did he find his army in the vast grassland in a short period of time? Yelubei has an army of 30,000, how could he let Li Congjing escape here?

Things didn't go as planned, things seemed to be out of control, and Jerod was extremely unhappy when he realized this, and he hated the feeling that things were out of control. He couldn't help but wonder what had been going on all these days in that place to the west that he hadn't seen.

Seeing Li Congjing kill his favorite generals, the gentlemen all broke into the Khitan army formation, and the army couldn't help them for a while, Yelu Deguang keenly felt that there seemed to be an invisible big hand grabbing him, and a rare dangerous aura was enveloping him. He hated it even more, and it made him irritable.

Yelu Deguang began to adjust the layout of the military formation, he looked at Li Congjing, who was constantly advancing not far away, and sneered: "Li Congjing, you have some ability, but if you think that the Khitan cavalry only knows how to rush and fight, then you are wrong!" General Han Xin, like an arm commander, my Yelu Deguang's army is not something you can underestimate! Although this king does not know how you came here, and what happened to that fool of Jelube, but if you appear in front of this king, with 2,000 men, you dare to face this king, and this king will let you know what kind of price it takes to be arrogant and underestimate this king! ”

The Khitan army on the battlefield began to change its formation, the formation that was originally overwhelming people became smart and orderly, a single impact array turned into several small formations, and the cobwebs generally came towards the gentlemen, and the attacks of each department became orderly and elastic, and the lethality increased suddenly.

Li Congjing, who was fighting with the Khitan sergeants in the battle, raised his blood-stained face after knocking out an opponent with a single shot, and his calm and fanatical eyes were bottomless.

"There are too many Khitan barbarians, and they have begun to form a situation of encirclement of our army, and all departments are facing a place several times their own, and they are overstretched to deal with it. If this fight continues, the army will fall into a quagmire and cannot extricate itself, and it will be surrounded and annihilated by the Khitan army! Guo Wei analyzed the situation in front of him very thoroughly, and finally concluded: "After all, there are too many Khitan troops and their combat power is also strong, so it is difficult for us to take advantage!" ”

From the momentum at the beginning, to the current entanglement, to the gradual tendency to be trapped to death, all this happened fast or slow. Li Congjing also expected these changes earlier, and he said to Guo Wei: "Yelu Deguang is talented, he is the proud son of Abaoji, if he has 10,000 people, he can't help you and me 2,000 people, and the Khitan Kingdom will not be able to become the overlord of the grassland." This is not surprising. You and I are not wronged in this battle, you must understand that the opponent can only be considered to have a real sword and a real gun if he has seen the real chapter. ”

Guo Wei nodded, and Li Congjing turned his horse's head, "Order, all departments alternately cover the retreat, and protrude from the net that the Khitan sergeants have not yet closed!" After that, Lin Ying led the assault, and Guo Wei led the department to break off! ”

Junzidu's retreat was not to turn around and retreat on the spot, but to choose a direction in front of him, and then exert his strength again to kill the Khitan soldiers in front of him. Since the charge, although the gentlemen have been marching forward, but not every part has gone all out, Li Congjing personally led the army to charge, and the front contributed a lot before, at this time, it was changed to the rear to exert force, replacing the position of the front.

Seeing that the gentlemen wanted to withdraw from the battle, Yelu Deguang was willing to obey and dispatched a large army to surround and intercept him.

However, since Li Congjing can get the gentlemen into battle, he can let them evacuate safely.

The gentlemen and generals who fought fiercely with the Khitan soldiers for half a while, except for the dead and seriously wounded, a dragon also rushed out of the sea and rushed towards the broader grassland sky.

Yelu Deguang commanded the Khitan army in pursuit. The galloping Khitan army is like a surging tide, wave after wave, constantly biting the tail of the dragon.

The gentlemen all stood out from the formation, although they were well arranged, and they did not retreat in a hurry, but after all, they were fewer in number, far from being comparable to the Khitan 10,000 people, and the back of the fleeing side was exposed in front of the pursuers, so they were naturally at a disadvantage, and they suffered a lot in the fight, which was no longer something that the formation could change.

However, in two miles, the casualties of the gentleman increased greatly.

Junzidu's "embarrassment and escape" made Yelude's murderous intent swell, and at the same time his sense of victory and defeat swelled, he waved his knife and laughed at the sergeant beside him: "Li Congjing dares to pull out his teeth, he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, he wants to repel us and retreat south, that is wishful thinking!" This kid's conspiracy is good, but he thinks that if he can win consecutive battles in the Central Plains, he will be able to defeat the Khitan army, which is very wrong! On the grassland, no one has been able to escape the pursuit of the Khitan elite cavalry, and the soldiers rushed to kill and cut off Li Congjing's head as a wine pot! ”

The sergeant beside him immediately echoed loudly, and his momentum was high.

Li Congjing turned around as he was galloping, and saw the Khitan army coming, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

An ironclad cavalry galloped from behind the mountain line and cut diagonally towards the two armies chasing and fighting on the grassland.

When Jerod Light found this army, his face turned pale, and he stopped beside the army and looked at the cavalry.

"Tang Jun again? Where did so many Tang troops come from here? Is this the grassland or the Central Plains? When did the Tang army begin to enter and leave the Great Khitan Kingdom unscrupulously? Yelu Deguang grabbed the ranger's collar on horseback and lifted him up, "When did this Tang army appear, you didn't even find out, what else does this king want you?!" ”

The ranger cowered, "His Royal Highness is fighting fiercely with the Tang army, and this Tang army rushed over at that time, villain...... The villain didn't notice it for a while. ”

Jerod Guang uttered a big expletive, angrily drew his sword, and slew the ranger in front of him beside the horse.

At this time, the gentlemen in front of them all began to turn, and it seemed that they were going to turn their horses' heads, attack the Tang army on both sides, and fight them again!

"Withdraw!" Yerod's eyes flickered for a long time, and he finally gave this military order, which was extremely damaging to his pride. was tricked by the Tang Army on the grassland, which not only made Yelu Deguang unacceptable, but also shook the Khitan when it was spread, and he was smiling and generous!

"Li Congjing, sinister child, this king still has the courage to fight with this king head-on, but I didn't expect it to be a conspiracy and trickery, it's really despicable!" Yelu Deguang angrily pointed in the direction where Li Congjing was and scolded.

After Li Congjing turned his horse's head and faced Yelu Deguang's army again, he watched the retreat of the Khitan army. He stopped his horse, and thousands of gentlemen galloped past him, scrambling to kill the Khitan barbarians who were still chasing them!

The Tang cavalry that suddenly appeared was naturally a 5,000-horse army led by Li Shaocheng. If he hadn't contacted Li Shaocheng in advance, how could Li Congjing use himself as a bait and take the initiative to engage Yelu Deguang?

The Tang Army and the Khitan Army are old enemies, and not eating meat and drinking blood is not enough to solve their hatred.

Since they have come together, there is only fighting.

If you want to fight, you have to win.

Put his face up and let people slap him, make people feel cool, Li Congjing will not do such a thing. If he wants to do it, he has to shave people's big ears. It was only half a day when they met and fought, but since they knew that Yelu Deguang was leading the army to go on the expedition, in order to eat Yelu Deguang's 10,000 people, Li Congjing and Mo Li and others had been planning for a long time, and the preparations had been done for many days.

And now, it's just time to fight for results.

Li Congjing looked at Yelu Deguang, who had changed from a hunter to a prey, and chuckled: "Running to someone else's house and beating others all over the ground really makes people feel very comfortable. ”
