All the way north, Yelu Xiangyin, who was like an arrow, was not very happy, on the contrary, his expression gradually became gloomy.

From the north of Jizhou City to Yannan, but the distance of more than 200 miles, for the Khitan army of the elite cavalry, it can be reached in two days. In fact, after a day's march, Yelu had already made most of the elite under his command go through most of the distance. But the speed of the march did not bring much credit, but made the core generals of the Khitan army begin to worry.

Ever since they set foot on their way back from the north, they have never received a return from the rangers. The scouts of the army can only maintain a vision of ten miles, and the farther rangers, sent out, will never return.

Scouts are the eyes of an army, and the fear of losing their vision goes straight to the deepest part of the human heart. Another effect of the loss of vision ten miles away was that Yelu Xiangyin's connection with the Yannan camp was severed. This is almost impossible, you know, in order to deal with the situation behind Li Congjing's detour, Yelu Yuyin made careful arrangements in advance, and a very important part of this is how to maintain close contact with the Yannan camp.

Yannan is the root, Yelu is the branch and leaf, and they can't grasp each other's situation, which is an extremely terrible thing.

Li Congjing makes good use of scouts, which is not a secret in Yelu Xiangyin's eyes, although he is arrogant, but not stupid, he respects his opponents, so he has a good understanding of Li Congjing's battle habits. He once compared his scouts with Li Congjing's scouts, and concluded that he was not inferior to Li Congjing.

If it weren't for this, a surprise attack on the border of Jizhou a few days ago, how could Yelu want to hide that he could pull out all the Tang Army forts in the north of Jizhou overnight?

When Yelu wanted to add several waves of scouts to no avail, he knew that Li Congjing's scouts were already showing their combat power and confronting him face to face on the frontal battlefield. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, Yelu has never been afraid, Li Congjing's scouts began to exert force, he will not leave his hands, call his own scout general, let him lead the elite scouts of the army, and attack them all.

Outside the formation of more than 10,000 Khitan troops, in front of their advance, the scouts of the two armies galloped across the vast field, riding horses and chasing the wind, fighting wits and courage, and catching and killing.

If the scouts were suddenly disadvantaged, and the army did not know what was going on ten miles away, which caused concern to the core generals of the Khitan army, then for Yelu Yuyin, what he could feel was obviously more than this, and it was also higher.

"Since Li Congjing has entered my Weng, he should be fighting in Yannan, and he can't be separated, how can he send his scouts to this place, in front of my formation, and magnificently obstruct my return? How can he know the whereabouts of my army? Of course, with Yelu Wantin's wisdom, it is not difficult for him to think that this can only show that Li Congjing's scouts have his every move in his hands.

After a long period of fierce battles, the scouts and rangers sent out by Yelu Yuyin finally broke through the blockade line of the Tang army scouts and successfully extended their sight to ten miles away.

After regaining control of some of his vision, Yelu Yuyin immediately obtained two military reports, one from Yannan and one from Yingzhou reinforcements. Yelu Naer, who stayed in Yannan, said in the military newspaper that the Tang army was storming the camp, while more than 10,000 reinforcements from Yingzhou said that they were ambushed by the Tang army halfway.

Two military reports and two battles in two places made Yelu want to fall into contemplation again. The Tang army did not have an advantage in strength, so how could it not only storm Yannan, but also divide troops to block the reinforcements from Yingzhou? In the case that Li Congjing knew that Yelu wanted to retreat from Jizhou City to help, he took the initiative to divide his troops when his troops were already at a disadvantage, which was simply a way to bring about his own destruction.

Since the fight with Li Congjing, although both sides have been figuring out each other's thoughts and calculating each other, for Yelu Xiangyin, there has never been a time before that makes him feel uncertain about Tang Jun than now. In any case, the plan to return to Yannan will not be changed, no matter what medicine Li sells in Jingjing's gourd, it is the best policy to return to Yannan first and join forces with Yannan.

Yannan.

The offensive of the Hundred Battles Army on the Khitan inner camp continued, and on the edge of the battlefield, Li Congjing, Mo Li and others overlooked the battlefield from the watchtower. The situation on the battlefield in front of him is very stalemate, even if the offensive of the Hundred Battles Army is fierce, and the Khitan Army relies on the solidity of the camp, the two sides are indistinguishable from each other.

"Thirty miles around Yannan, all under the control of our military intelligence department and scouts, not to mention the scouts and rangers of the Khitan barbarians, even the Khitan flies can't miss one." Mo Li shook the folding fan lightly and said, "Yelu wants to hide here, and it should be here in half a day." ”

Li Congjing bowed slightly: "How long can the control of the military intelligence department and the scouts around Yannan last?" "A radius of thirty miles, an area is very large, and no matter how capable the Military Intelligence Department and the scouts of the Hundred Battles Army are, it is impossible to control these places all the time.

"Three days." Tao Yao said.

Li Congjing nodded with satisfaction, "Li Shaocheng has the latest war report to send back?" ”

The day before yesterday, after learning that the reinforcements from Yingzhou were coming, Li Congjing ordered Li Shaocheng to conceal his whereabouts in the middle of the night and lead the main force of the Hundred Battles Army to the east to ambush the Khitan army. Now, the war should have a result.

In the past two days, although the offensive of the Hundred Battles Army against the Khitan inner camp was fierce, it was actually just a feint. When Li Shaocheng traveled east, Yelu Naer didn't notice it, and Li Congjing didn't want him to know about it before Li Shaocheng returned, otherwise he might lead his army out of the camp to counterattack. In that case, the situation of the Hundred Battles Army, which was heading eastward with the main force, would not be very good.

"The Yingzhou reinforcements were ambushed by our army, and by the time Yelu wanted to hide the news, the battle was decided. Even if he wanted to order Jerunaer out of the camp to attack, not to mention whether his order could be delivered, it would be useless. Mo Li said with a smile. Until now, everyone has known that there is no Yelu in the Khitan camp in front of him, but he traveled south some time ago to fight Ma Huaiyuan.

In the face of the current situation, the first response of Li Congjing and others was to defeat the Khitan reinforcements who came from the battalion, and only in this way did Li Congjing have the strength to fight a decisive battle with the Yannan Khitan army. Whether it is to hunt down the scouts of Yelu Xiangyin's army, or to clean up the rangers around Yannan and feint to attack the inner camp, it is all to achieve this idea.

The battle was in full swing, and Li looked at the railing from Jing, with a wide field of vision in front of him, and the entire battlefield and the general situation of the Khitan inner camp were unobstructed. His eyes moved slightly to the east, and although he couldn't see Li Shaocheng fighting with the reinforcements from Yingzhou, Li Congjing knew that the beacon fire around Yannan had completely burned.
