Chapter 234 Several Years of Work Yields Results, Four Battles in the Bohai Sea Determine the Overall Situation (11)

On the eve of nightfall, the Hundred Battles Army and the Khitan Army almost unanimously lit dozens of fires beside the road, and the burning bonfires reflected the Tongshui River Valley like the day, in this narrow strip, there were not even large and small mounds of soil, so it didn't matter about the battle for the commanding heights, the two sides fought each other, and it was completely the collision and consumption of the battle array.

The sky woke up slightly, the Khitan army slowly retreated, the hundred battle army was unable to pursue, and the battle came to an end for the time being. The corpses were silent, the blood on the ground changed color, seeping into the frozen soil, crooked sergeants, flags, swords and guns were scattered everywhere, and the broken military flags swayed weakly in the cold wind.

Both sides were scrambling to save the wounded soldiers from the battlefield, and the battle continued to this situation, at this time the enemy and I tacitly did not attack again, but the guard against each other did not relax at all.

The Khitan army's main general, Yelu Enemy Lie, immediately stepped forward to the front, watching the soldiers under his command keep carrying the wounded to the back of the formation, if there was black gas rolling between his eyebrows, showing the anger in his heart. As a Khitan royal family, as early as a few years ago, the prestige of Yelu's military exploits reached its peak, in the second year of Tongguang, he led the army to attack the land of the Tang Hetao, and took Feng and Sheng's two states overnight, and the Tang court did not dare to send troops to fight for more than a month, which was a landmark event.

"What are the casualties of this group of soldiers?" Seeing that the military envoy was sweating profusely, Yelu asked coldly.

The military envoy said in fear: "Seven hundred and thirty-four casualties, of which three hundred and twenty-seven were killed in battle and three hundred and twenty-seven were seriously wounded" After saying this, he probably felt that the casualties were too large, and the ratio of battle dead and seriously injured was too high, and the military envoy added: "These Tang troops are all playing with their lives, and they are all crazy if their own lives are human lives, and they are completely irrational."

"Enough!" Yelu Lie swung his whip in the air, and the crackling sound made the military envoy's neck shrink, and he didn't dare to continue.

After a moment of silence, the military envoy spoke again, and said extremely reluctantly: "Marshal, there is still something to tell."

"Say!"

"General Yelu Pheasant, he is seriously injured, I'm afraid he is about to die!"

Yelu Lie trembled, lifted the collar of the military envoy, and roared: "What did you say?!" ”

After Tongguang marched into the Hetao in the second year and captured Fengsheng Erzhou, Yelu Enemy Lie brought the power of victory, Kou Sang Pass, and sought the whole territory of Yunzhou, in the case that the Yunzhou Datong Army had fallen into a trap, a person who appeared outside the Sang Kang Pass for no reason, pulled the Datong Army out of the realm of death, and a fine cavalry that appeared outside the Sang Kang Pass for no reason, let the Yelu Enemy Lie taste the first defeat after more than ten years of fame. In that battle, the eight righteous sons he focused on cultivating were even more lost

When Yelu Enemy Lie rushed to the head of the Eight Righteous Sons, Yelu Pheasant, the latter had already swallowed his breath, the flesh of his neck rolled outward, and the huge wound was extremely terrifying, and the pain made Yelu Pheasant's expression still distorted and full of hatred when he was dying, and his eyes were wide open.

"Li Congjing! This king must have slaughtered you with his own hands, Sulpi and Rouer! Yelu roared, waved his knife to cut off the pillars of the wooden shed, turned around and strode towards his war horse, "Pass my military order, immediately assault the hundred battle army, do not break its formation today, defeat its army, this king does not get off the horse, does not leave the battle formation!" ”

Both left and right were terrified, "The big marshal wants to be in battle in person?" ”

Yelu Dilie paused and looked around at everyone with heavy eyes, "Who has any objections?" ”

Seeing that Yelu, who had always prided himself as a Confucian general, was really angry, no one dared to say more, and they all bowed their heads and made promises.

Stepping on the war horse, convening the military formation, the Khitan military formation that had just calmed down was noisy again, the sound of footsteps and weapons colliding was non-stop, the soldiers heard that Yelu Pheasant was killed in battle, most of them were angry, and when they saw that Yelu was going into battle in person, they were all ashamed and angry, rubbing shoulders and palms, vowing to eat the thousands of Tang troops in front of them in one bite to vent their anger.

Yelu Lie sat on horseback, looked at the neat and murderous military formation in front of him, pulled out the saber with gems and gold edges at his waist, and shouted: "You are all the most warlike warriors in the Great Khitan, and have made countless contributions to the emperor, and some of you have been fighting with this king for more than ten years, and have been born and died with this king, proving to the world who is the most courageous warrior!" All the enemies should have fled before you, and the land you went should have been invincible, as you have done until today. But now, here, in the face of the Tang army of less than 10,000 people, my 50,000 Khitan warriors can't advance an inch, which is really an unprecedented shame! ”

"Today, this king will lead you to regain the glory of the past," Jerod was in high spirits, and his words were inciting, and when he spoke of excitement, he waved his saber in the air. But before he could finish speaking, suddenly a group of horsemen appeared from behind the formation and went straight to Yelu Martyr.

When Jelu saw the leader of the knight holding the talisman, of course he knew that it was an envoy sent by Yelu Abaoji. Yelu Abaoji sent an envoy over at this time, and Yelu Dilie guessed that Yelu Abaoji must have blamed him for failing to defeat the Tang army in front of him for so long, and came to urge.

The other party represented Yelu Abaoji, Yelu enemy martyr dismounted in front of the envoy, and before the latter could speak, he had already preemptively said: "This king is about to personally fall into battle to break the Tang army, the envoy is relieved, the Tang army will be defeated today!" After speaking, the envoy was stunned, and then added: "The envoy is coming, you might as well sweep the battle for this king, and see how this king tramples on this remnant army!" ”

Listening to the words of the enemy martyrs, all the soldiers naturally woke up, the envoys came to urge the battle, thinking that the 50,000 army had not been able to help the 8,000 Tang army for so many days, and they were all embarrassed, and then their fighting spirit soared to the sky, their eyes were hot, and they were about to rush into battle when they waited for an order.

Yelu saw the reaction of the soldiers in his eyes, and he was very satisfied, and his morale was available, and this battle was won. At this time, the sky was already bright, and Yelu Enemy Lie's eyes were no longer eager to look at the envoys, and he regained his composure, which means that although the king did not defeat the Tang army before, the Tang army was not far from defeat.

However, the words sent by Yelu Abaoji to the envoy immediately made Yelu Enemy Lie fall into an ice cellar, "The emperor has an order, and Yelu Enemy Lie immediately withdraws from the Tongshui River Valley!" ”

"What?" Yelu Enemy Lie almost suspected that he had heard the wrong words, "The Tang army will be defeated today, how can it retreat?" ”

"Is the king going to disobey the emperor's holy decree?" The envoy said coldly, he didn't give Yelu Enemy Lie any face, it's no wonder, if it weren't for Yelu Enemy Lie's long-term invincibility in the Tongshui River Valley, why would the situation in Zhengzhou be like this, and why would Yelu Abaoji face danger?

"One day, this king only needs one day!" Yelu Enemy Lie was still unwilling, gritting his teeth, "No, it's okay for half a day, let this king rush for a while, and he will break the Tang army!" ”

"The king of the North Courtyard, the emperor's holy decree is that the will is to return to the army immediately!" The envoy frowned, his tone was unquestionable, and he was still strongly dissatisfied, "Does the king know that Li Congjing has led tens of thousands of troops to Zhengzhou, and is storming the imperial tent?" The king knows that the whole army of Zhengzhou guards is attacking, and all departments are fighting desperately? Does the king know that the crown prince and the generalissimo have personally gone into battle and are fighting hand-to-hand with the enemy?! After a pause, the military envoy took a deep breath, "Is the current battle situation important, or is the emperor important, does the king still use his subordinates to say more?" Can such a thing be delayed for a moment? ”

"What? Li Congjing went around to Jeongju?! Yelu was like being struck by lightning, and his whole person froze there, his face pale, "How is this possible?!" Although the envoy did not say it explicitly, the meaning was already clear: it was meaningless for Yelu's enemy to continue the battle in the Tongshui River Valley, and not only that, but with Li Congjing already appearing in Zhengzhou, their previous battle had also become meaningless.

The generals who gathered to prepare for battle, and when they heard the words of the envoys, they all poured cold water on their heads. Looking at Yelu Enemy Lie with some intelligence, he already understood in his heart that the Tongshui River Valley had been invincible for a long time, resulting in the division of the army, and the military strength of Zhengzhou was weakened, and the current situation was so dangerous, at least half of the reason was that he failed to open up the Tongshui River Valley, and returned to Zhengzhou in time or broke into Xijing.

Yelu Enemy's strength was instantly drained, and after calming down, it seemed that he had aged ten years in an instant, and he no longer had half of his energy, he was stunned for a long time, and finally waved his hand weakly, and the hero said in the twilight: "Withdraw the army, return to Zhengzhou." ”

"Today is the eighth day of the second month of the fourth year of Tongguang, and the battle here has lasted for ten days. With no city and no danger to defend, 8,000 troops dragged ten times as many enemies to death in the Tongshui Valley for ten days in a solid battle. Meng Ping wrote these words on the pamphlet he carried with him, which was so stained with blood that it was almost unrecognizable, and the quill pen that Li Congjing had given him when he was a teenager was scribbling on it looked a little difficult. Writing this, Meng Ping looked up left and right, and continued to write: "Eight thousand soldiers, more than 4,000 casualties, of which 30% were killed in battle and 40% were seriously wounded."

Li Shaocheng sat down with difficulty beside Meng Ping, every move seemed to involve countless wounds on his body, but at the moment of sitting down, his face still showed a relaxed look, glanced at the booklet in Meng Ping's hand, and said: "The casualties of ordinary armies reach one-third, and the main general can still restrain his subordinates from dispersing, he is the best general. ”

Meng Ping put away the booklet, took the water bladder handed by Li Shaocheng, raised his head and poured a big mouthful, wiped his mouth and said: "Famous generals, good generals or something, I don't dare to hope that more than half of the casualties of the Hundred Battles Army can still not retreat, it is because of you and me, these generals, have a little credit, but more, it should also be attributed to the quality of every soldier, thanks to the complete and strict system of generals, especially the middle and lower level of the team, including the cohesion of the commander." ”

Li Shaocheng nodded, looked up and sighed: "This is the Hundred Battles Army, the unique Hundred Battles Army!" The dawn was sprinkled, and if there was a layer of brilliance on his face, he said: "I still remember that when Qimen was set up in camp, the military commander said: A soldier is a man in a hundred battles, so we call it a hundred battles; We dare not say that we will win every battle, but we will be more courageous in the battle. Looking at it now, I have a better understanding of the true meaning of this statement. ”

Meng Ping smiled.

At this time, Li Zheng hurriedly ran over and brought not very good news, "Deputy Marshal, General Meng, General Ding Mao I'm afraid it's going to die!" ”

Li Shaocheng and Meng Ping were stunned, when Ding Mao withdrew from the battlefield at the end of the battle, it could already be seen that he was seriously injured, but he could still force a smile, so the two didn't care much, they never thought that Ding Mao was already seriously injured.

In the medical shed, the medical officer stood aside with a face full of shame, and the owner of the C-shaped battalion held Shi Congda, who had taken off his armor and was covered in blood, in front of him, the other party had closed his eyes, Shi Congda was in tears, and roared in a hoarse voice due to the long battle: "Ding Mao, you are a coward, wake up to Lao Tzu, thief, you still bet with Lao Tzu before the war, whoever wins more than the first level will ask the other party to pour the night pot, this battle exploit has not been counted, you will step first, are you afraid of losing to Lao Tzu to pour the night pot for Lao Tzu?!" Where's the fucking blood of you? Ding Mao, you fuck it."

The medical officer bent down and saluted Li Shaocheng who rushed to Li Shaocheng in shame, "General Ding is too seriously injured, there are as many as seventeen large and small wounds, and there is too much blood loss.

Li Shaocheng's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word. Before the battle reached a stalemate, Ding Mao asked for an order to retreat, it was he who removed Ding Mao's post on the spot, and instead of Ding Mao to rush into battle, Ding Mao was ashamed, so he fought for his life, and then he was injured many times, and he never mentioned half of the word retreat.

Since the establishment of the camp of the Hundred Battles Army, the casualties of the generals have been quite large, but even so, the commander of the first battalion has never been at fault, and now Peng Zushan is not a servant in life and death, and if Ding Mao dies, he will be the same as He Junlai, and he is the highest-ranking general in the history of the Hundred Battles Army.

Shi Congda punched the edge of the temporary hospital bed built of wet wood, and his voice lowered, "Since the establishment of the Qimen army, you and I have begun to fight each other, and then although we have been regulated by the military commander, we have never stopped competing with each other, and for so many years, you and I don't know how much wine we have drunk each other." Damn, I thought I could continue to drink this wine."

At this time, the horn sounded, and a scout came back to report, "The Khitan army has retreated!" ”

Li Shaocheng and Meng Ping glanced at each other, and hurriedly went to check the facts, but before they took a few steps, another ranger came to report that Li Yanchao led the Lu Longjun who stayed in Xijing to arrive. After Li Shaocheng and Meng Ping confirmed that the Khitan army had retreated, Li Yanchao also rushed to the camp.

"The commander has an order, ordering me to support the Tongshui Valley, drag the Khitan army in the Tongshui Valley, and prevent it from returning to Zhengzhou!" When Li Yanchao saw Li Shaocheng, he immediately expressed his intention.

"The Khitan army has withdrawn." Li Shaocheng shook his head, Li Congjing rushed to Zhengzhou, he naturally knew, and now the Khitan army took the initiative to evacuate, indicating that Li Congjing had successfully attacked Zhengzhou. If it weren't for that, with the current casualties of the Hundred Battles Army, it would not be able to sustain itself for long in the Tongshui River Valley.

Li Yanchao also knew the casualties of the Hundred Battles Army in the Tongshui River Valley, and said solemnly: "In this case, General Li, your troops will return to Xijing to rest, and I will lead Lu Longjun to march to Zhengzhou to support the commander, how about it?" ”

Li Shaocheng glanced around at the battlefield and camp for the rest of his life, and said without hesitation: "The battle of Zhengzhou is the key to determining the victory or defeat of this victory. General Li, I will walk with you to Jeongju to support the military commander, and I will win this battle no matter what! ”

The Hundred Battles Army has become a tired division, on the verge of collapse, there are still two hundred miles to go to the west to aid Zhengzhou, and to participate in the war at this moment is almost to the death. However, after getting along for several years, Li Shaocheng also understands Li Shaocheng's temperament, seeing that Li Shaocheng is resolute, he knows that persuasion is useless, and besides, the Hundred Battles Army can recover some energy after a day of rest today. Immediately, the two of them combined, the Hundred Battles Army gave way to the passage, Lu Longjun took the first step, and the Hundred Battles Army followed after a short rest.

After getting the military order, Shi Congda put down Ding Mao, stood up, straightened out the already messy and tattered armor, and glanced at Ding Mao who was lying on the bed, "Old Ding, the Khitan army has retreated, and we have won the battle in the Tongshui Valley, but this battle will not end like this." Don't worry, I will avenge your revenge, and I will also help you bring back your share. ”

He looked up at the distance, "In the future, there will be no one to compete with me about anything, and no one will smile and pat me on the shoulder every time there is a war, and joke that I don't die too early, lest no one pour him a night pot Lao Ding, you can rest in peace." ”

After speaking, Shi Congda strode out of the wooden shed without looking back.

The war drums rang out, like thunder, bursting in the ears of every soldier, it was the battle sound of the Hundred Battles Army for Lu Longjun.

Ding Mao's eyes on the sickbed suddenly broke open, he got up in shock, picked up the horizontal knife on the side of the bed, and ran towards the outside of the shed, "Started to rush again?" Gentlemen, kill with Ben! After running two steps, he realized that something was wrong, and his eyes glanced at his body, "Alas, what about Lao Tzu's armor?" Straight lady thief, who stripped Lao Tzu's armor?! ”

The medical officer on the side looked at Ding Mao in a daze for a long time before he clapped his hands excitedly, "Hey, live, live!" ”

Yelu Xiannichi is also really brave, the name of the first warrior of the Khitan army is not given in vain, even if the left shoulder is severely injured, and the right hand does not have a single finger intact, but after hastily bandaging, he re-stepped on the war horse and endured severe pain to kill Li Congjing again. It's just that this time he learned a lesson, and he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy by half a point, so he joined forces with Yelu Deguang and Yelu Bei, first squeezed Li Congjing's guard formation with the Jingwei battle formation, and then sought to fight Li Congjing.

The pressure on Li Congjing increased sharply, and at this time he could completely retreat and let the other soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army come up and fight for him, so as to avoid being besieged by three people. However, if this is the case, under the joint attack of Yelu Deguang, Yelu Bei, and Yelu Xiannichi, it is very likely that the army formation of the Hundred Battles will be torn apart.

Since he personally charged into battle, how could Li Congjing allow such a situation to happen? Not only that, what he needs is to take the opportunity to break through the Khitan reinforcement army!

The Khitan army has Yelu Abaoji in command, Yelu Deguang, Yelu Bei, and Yelu Xian Nichi can charge into battle, and the major generals of the Baizhan and Bohai coalition armies are outnumbered, and Li Congjing must be dispatched and trapped. Fortunately, tonight's tactics have been decided, and there are no too complicated places to change, even some partial defeats can be tolerated, as long as the overall situation is not bad.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the overall situation is that Li Congjing wants to break the alliance of Yelu Deguang, Yelu Bei, and Yelu Xiannichi.

After the lance stabbed a Khitan warrior with teeth and claws in front of him off his horse, Li Congjing first noticed a sword light slashing over, and then saw Yelu Deguang behind the sword light - he still looked so calm, it seemed that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, it was a smile that was sure to win.

"It's so confident." Li Congjing's long lance patted lightly, and the blade struck the opponent's knife surface, lightly turning Yelu Deguang's offensive into invisible.

Yelu Deguang did not fight with Li Congjing, the two sides of the army have fallen into a stalemate, and the space for movement is not large, he waved the knife with his backhand, and slashed at Li Congjing again, the knife light was sharp, and the air made a whining sound because of the tearing.

With a flip of his wrist and a shake of the long lance, Li Congjing increased his strength this time, and before Yelude's light blade touched his face, the blade slapped on the opponent's chest. Jerod snorted, fell backwards, and nearly fell off his horse.

At this interval, Yelu Xian Nee let out a deep shout, and the slashing knife went straight down without any fancy and reached the top of Li Congjing's head.

In this way, the offensive of the Malaysian golden knife, open and close, the power should not be underestimated, if the knife is implemented, Rao is Li Congjing's armor is thick, and it will also be split in half.

When repelling Yelu Deguang, Li Congjing's lance attack left room for him, and at this time he picked it back, and split it before the slashing knife fell.

"Li Congjing, suffer death!" Yelubei shouted, and slashed straight at Li Congjing's door.

For this kind of attack that had to be reminded before making a move, Li Congjing had no fear, his hand slid over the long lance shaft, held it in the middle, and threw it sideways, and the tail of the lance blocked Yelubei's long knife in mid-air.

And at this time, Yerod Light slashed again.

Through the squeeze of the battle array, Yelu Deguang, Yelu Bei, and Yelu Xian Nichi successfully deceived themselves, and at the same time fought with Li Congjing face to face, one by one, and the sword light shrouded Li Congjing, and Li Congjing responded to it every time, which was full of dangers.

Li Congjing's eyes were calm, without any emotion, only pure reason remained, calculating the distance between the other party and turning the opponent's wave of attacks into invisibility with an unbelievable reaction.

This scene is very similar to the battle of Lu Bu in the Three Heroes.

Meng Songbai and other guards faced the crazy squeeze of Yelu Deguang, Yelu Bei, and Yelu Xiannee Chijingwei, and they all fought hard, the opponent's combat power was not much weaker than them, and the tactics were unreasonable, they could only protect Li Congjing around him, and not let more Khitan soldiers pour in.

Before the battle formation, with one enemy and three, even if you don't have to worry about cold arrows, it is not a sustainable thing, if you are not careful, you will be caught by the other party, and once you are injured, you can only be bitten to death.

Although Li Congjing was full of fighting spirit and had the intention to slash Yelu Deguang, Yelu Bei, and Yelu Xian Nirchi in front of the battle, seeking an opportunity to break the formation, he could not escape the embarrassing situation of having more than enough heart and insufficient strength.

In the case that Li Congjing has entangled Yelu Deguang, Yelu Bei, and Yelu Xian Nichi, if there is a brave general who seeks an opportunity to break through from the side, he will definitely be able to make some gains. It's a pity that although there is no shortage of good generals in the Hundred Battles Army, it is difficult to divide troops to deal with the complex situation of all parties, and the strength of the troops still seems to be stretched.

With the strength of Yelu Bei and Yelu Xian Nichi, they fought fiercely with Li Congjing, although Yelu Deguang had not yet bargained for any substantial bargains, but his calm and calm attitude became more and more obvious, and a trace of heat gradually appeared in his calm eyes, just because Li Congjing had dealt with it more and more difficult.

Li Congjing's eyes were always calm, because anxiety was useless except for hastening death.

At this moment, one person led more than ten horsemen and suddenly broke into the two military formations that were entangled with death.

It only took a moment to go deep into the formation and crash into the battlefield where Li Congjing and Yelu Deguang were fighting.

With such a swift momentum, people have to suspect that this person has been looking for opportunities outside the formation for a long time and has pinpointed the weak point of the Khitan army formation.

The horse leaped, the horse's hooves fluttered, the body on horseback was slightly prostrate, the long hair fluttered like a sea in front of the full moon, and the lance stabbed forward. The horse's hooves stepped on the ground, the dust splashed, and the Khitan warriors in front of her were killed from the horse's back in shock, and blood was smeared and sprayed in the air.

Between the thunder, the long lance in Tao Yaoyao's hand reached out to Yelu Xiannichi, who was about to take out the knife!

Yelu Xian Nichi, who had already noticed the coming, saw the other party rampage towards him and killed, as if he was the best to deal with, he was immediately furious, turned around and waved the sword, the blade of the knife slid through an arc, accumulated his strength to the extreme, and vowed to cut the future man in two!

The chopping knife is in an arc, but the long lance is a straight line, and the quiet moonlight flashes on the cold blade, and it has reached the front of you. Yelu Xiannichi didn't expect the other party's speed to be so fast, he thought that he could strike backwards, but at this time, realizing the extreme danger, he only had time to turn sideways slightly. In his incredulous gaze, the lance was like a dragon, stabbing him in the shoulder!

The huge inertia took Yelu Xian Nechi's body away from the horse's back, and his stunned eyes suddenly became as big as copper bells, he didn't expect that since the other party's strength was so great, the idea of holding the lance and taking advantage of the situation to fight back regardless of his life became a luxury!

Who is this person?

Yelu Xiannichi can no longer know the answer, at the moment when Tao Xiaoxiao appeared, Li Congjing wheeled up the lance to force Yelu Deguang and Yelu Bei away, when Yelu Xiannichi's body was forced to leave the horse's back, Li Congjing seized the opportunity, backhanded knife, the blade from the back of Yelu Xiannichi's neck, front throat out!

The cooperation between the two was as if they had been rehearsed countless times, and the tacit understanding was seamless, and in an instant, Yelu Xian Nichi's head was slashed off his shoulder. When Li Congjing and Tao Yao passed by the wrong horse, the headless torso of Yelu Xian Nichi on the horse's back, and a fountain of blood spurted out from his neck several feet high.

Tao Yaoyao successfully raided and cooperated with Li Congjing to kill Yelu Xian Nirchi, but the nearby Yelu Xian Nirze Chijing Wei was not wood, and Tao Yaoyao's back was completely exposed to them at this time, and when Li Congjing killed Yelu Xian Nirchi, he also left the gap to Yelu Deguang and Yelu Bei!

However, neither of them looked back, each running behind the other, striking at the same time, blocking each other's offensive momentum that would kill each other.

was knocked on the saber by Tao Yaoyao, and the tingling sensation transmitted back from the palm of his hand shocked Yelu Deguang, he never thought that at this time, there would be a strong general whose combat power was not weak to Li Congjing!

I thought that Li Congjing was besieged by three people and had no way to survive, but I never thought that Li Congjing actually hid a hole card.

Angry, Yerod gritted his teeth with hatred, his face was no longer half of his previous indifference, and he almost roared.

Outsiders only say that Yelu Deguang has become more and more a king over the years, but they don't know how hard and unforgettable pain he is going through every time he recalls his failures under Li Congjing in the past. From the initial gourd mouth scam, to the ensuing pursuit but was blocked, to Danzhou and Jianzi teaming up but having to escape into the mountains and forests, these nightmarish pictures have tormented him every day.

Now that he is fighting Li Congjing again, how can Yeludeguang's heart be so calm as he is on his face?

I thought that I would try my best to successfully force the battle formation over, and I could leave Li Congjing in front of the battle to besiege and kill, but how did I know that the good situation had become a dream bubble in a blink of an eye, which made Yelu Deguang, who was burdened with deep hatred, how could he not be torn apart?

However, Yelu Xian Nirchi, who turned into a corpse without warning, told him very clearly that it was a fool's dream to kill Li Congjing.

And that's not all

Turning around, Li Congjing, who was fighting side by side with Tao Yaoyao, pointed at Yelu Deguang with a long lance, and grinned: "Yelu Deguang, where are you still fleeing?" ”

Escape?

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he turned his horse and retreated into the formation.

Yelude turned around and left, and Yelubei had no point in continuing to fight with Li Congjing, so he turned back. Before leaving, he glanced deeply at Li Congjing

With the death of the Khitan army's hinterland-general Yelu Xian Nechi, the crown prince Yelu Bei and the generalissimo of soldiers and horses Yelu Deguang retreated into the battle, the Khitan army was no longer able to break through the hundred battle army, and was forced to transfer to various battalions and defend according to the battalions.

Li Congjing then ordered the various units of the Baizhan and Bohai coalition armies to gather their forces, divide dozens of large and small units, and attack each battalion, and the two armies immediately fell into a brutal camp offensive and defensive battle.

As the war progressed, the Hundred Battles and Bohai Coalition forces had gained a firm foothold in the battalion, and the morale of the various units was high, in contrast to the low morale of the various units of the Khitan Army.

Fortunately, the sky was bright, and thanks to the constraints and scheduling of Yelu Abaoji, the Khitan army was not defeated, but it had no fighting spirit to compete with the Youzhou and Bohai coalition forces in various battlefields.

Yelu Abaoji's outstanding military ability was vividly reflected in this battle, although the camp was attacked in the middle of the night, and the various units fought ineffectively, the Khitan army did not appear to be in chaos. Before dark the next day, Yelu Abaoji finally successfully gathered all the troops and gathered in the west of Zhengzhou City, unified the chaotic battle front, and fought with the Youzhou and Bohai coalition forces.

After a day and night of hard fighting, Li Congjing led his troops to kill and wound more than 10,000 Khitan troops, and successfully joined up with Daming Xing. At this point, the siege of Zhengzhou was lifted.

When the city of Zhengzhou was gilded with gold by the afterglow of the setting sun, and the earth-shaking cheers of the people came from the city, Li Congjing sat down on the battlefield with extreme fatigue, untied the water bladder from the waist of a soldier who died in battle by the wreckage of the wooden car, and raised his head to pour it.

Around the city, more than ten miles of camps, there were corpses everywhere, and the blood had already stained every inch of the soil, and then solidified into a dark brown. The tents, the turrets, the vehicles, and the flags were all left with the remains, and they were lonely and miserable before the sunset, and the flames that were still burning near and far rose black smoke, and wept like a complaint in the corpses of our soldiers and enemies.

The battle did not end, and the soldiers on both sides in the west of the city were still fighting - but there was no need for Li Congjing to charge again.

The cold wind continued, and Tao Xiaoxiao walked towards Li Congjing at the same time as the sunset - the helmet was thrown by her somewhere, her long hair was messy, there were still traces of blood on her fair face, her soft eyebrows and eyes revealed a strange beauty, her red lips made people fall and full of warmth, and the horizontal knife was dragged by her casually, making her look wild and free.

"Survived the battlefield again." Li Congjing spread his hand and smiled.

Throwing Li Congjing a wine bag that he didn't know where to turn it out, Tao Yao said, "You should feel lucky." ”

Taking the wine bag, Li Congjing didn't take a sip in a hurry, and looked at Tao Yao very seriously, making sure that she was not injured in the battle, so he said in a relaxed tone that he didn't even notice: "I'm very glad that if it weren't for you, I don't know how many times I have died." ”

Tao Yaoyao didn't have a wine bag left for herself in her hand, she brushed her ears and temples, and stared at Li Congjing with eyes containing a thousand words, her voice was so soft that it seemed to melt all the uneasiness after the war, "The family and the country are not safe, why do you talk about life and death lightly?" ”

Being stared at with such eyes and hearing such words, Li Congjing forgot to speak for a while. He suddenly threw away the wine bag, pulled the peach over and hugged him into his arms.

In the twilight, the blood and fire wreckage all over the ground was silent, Tao Xiaoxiao closed his eyes and leaned on Li Congjing's shoulder with peace of mind.
