The Khitan elite cavalry who chased them out was not stupid to get home, and after they saw the glaive array that had been arranged by the infantry army of the Datong army, they immediately realized that it was not good, and the Khitan army led by them immediately ordered the army to stop. It's just that they attacked too fiercely, but suddenly they inevitably rushed into the range of the archers of the Datong army, and after paying the price of 100 dead and wounded, they successfully ran out of the shooting range of the Datong army.

However, this group of Khitan elite horsemen did not leave just like that, but formed a military formation at a distance of one or two miles, eyeing the Datong army. It's just that after measuring the strength of both sides, this group of Khitan elite cavalry wisely did not choose to continue the attack, but asked them to leave, but they were extremely unwilling to suffer losses and saw the heavy casualties of their comrades, because they stayed in front of the Datong army, refusing to retreat or moving forward.

After returning to the Glaive Formation, Li Congjing got down from his war horse and made a temporary watchtower that was not tall but barely enough to observe the situation outside the Sang Kat Pass.

Zhang Daqian and other generals walked up with a smile, hugged Li Congjing in the middle, and after expressing their deep admiration, they began to discuss the topic. Compared with the shock of Li Congjing's various plans and exploits earlier, the current generals of the Datong Army actually showed a familiar look, as if in their eyes, as long as Li Congjing came out of the battle, did not win, and the battle was unsuccessful, that was the thing that should be shocked.

Li Congjing's move to storm the camp, or to explore the camp, was to try to see how powerful the Khitan army under the command of Yelu Liezhi was to try, so he sent himself to the Khitan army and let them attack him. This is like two evenly matched boxers, before officially fighting with all their strength, they will cautiously jump into the opponent's attack range, deliberately take a punch from the opponent, and then jump out immediately, in order to test the opponent's punch and kick strength, and provide a basis for the next tactics, playing style, and offensive rhythm arrangement.

Although Li Congjing had already decided to camp in the rear of the Khitan army at a distance, he still led the horse army to rush to the enemy formation when he first arrived here, and he also planned to do so.

There is no quantitative standard for the Khitan army with Yelu Enemy Lie personally in charge, there is no quantitative standard for this question, but after Li Congjing's battle, for Zhang Daqian and other generals of the Datong Army, at least when they fight against them with inferior forces, there will be no more fear and concern, and they will not be restrained in action.

From this point of view, Li Congjing has just been fighting this time, and it is very necessary and meaningful.

Zhang Daqian said with a smile: "It seems that Yelu's enemy is not as powerful as rumored, this time against him, we will fight against him, and there is no chance of winning." ”

A general of the Datong Army also smiled and said: "Whether Yelu Enemy Lie is as powerful as rumored to be, it depends on what kind of opponent he is facing. ”

The man in the army spoke directly, and even slapped his sycophants so explicitly, which made even Li Congjing, who was used to being praised by others, a little embarrassed. Of course, if you look at it from another angle, this general of the Datong Army is not deliberately sycophant, but from the bottom of his heart. Thinking about it like this, Li Congjing really no longer felt shy, and he could accept the admiration in the other party's words calmly.

Zhang Daqian pointed to the Khitan cavalry who stayed a mile or two away in front of the battle, and disdainfully Nunu mouthed, "A large group of real swords and real guns, stop in front of the formation, fight and dare not fight, retreat and can't retreat, so it's annoying to watch!" ”

Having said that, Zhang Daqian did not ask to go to war to blast away this group of eye-catching Khitan horse troops, after all, the Datong army does not have an advantage in strength, and now it is enough to treat each other in the glaive formation, which is enough to ensure that it is safe for a while, but if you really want to defeat Yelu Enemy Lie, even if the morale of the whole army is high now, Zhang Daqian and others feel good, and they know that it is impossible.

After looking at it for a while, Li Congjing no longer stood on the watchtower. Although the offensive of the Khitan army at the Sang Kang Pass has not stopped, it is still continuing, but the momentum is obviously much weaker, but the defenders on the Sang Kang Pass, seeing the sudden appearance of the Datong army, the morale is already uplifted, and seeing Li Congjing playing the Khitan army for a while, they are all excited, the battle has improved a lot out of thin air, and the counterattack is becoming more and more powerful.

Walking down the watchtower, Li Congjing instructed the commander of the Datong Army who followed behind: "Pass the order, the soldiers take turns to rest, eat, and prepare to build a camp on the spot." "This place is more than ten miles away from the Khitan army, and there is enough strategic buffer zone, whether it is to support the Sang Khan Pass, or in the face of the Khitan army's counterattack, choose to hold on and retreat, there is enough time to react.

Zhang Daqian and others suddenly agreed, and those generals went to their respective headquarters to pass on Li Congjing's orders.

In the face of a strong enemy three times larger than the Khitan, and in the face of the famous Khitan North Courtyard Yili Jianyelu enemy, the officers and soldiers of the Datong Army did not have the slightest crampedness and timidity, and all looked natural on duty, eating, and preparing various affairs in an orderly manner, with a confident and vigorous appearance.

It is hard to imagine that this army, in the recent confrontation with Yelu Pheasant, was almost wiped out, and then fled like a lost dog.

When Li Congjing was having dinner with the fifth girl, Liu Xixi and others, a sergeant came to report that a group of Khitan soldiers had arrived before the battle, and a small cavalry team slowly approached.

Li Congjing walked up to the watchtower, and sure enough, he saw the scene that the sergeant said, there were more than a dozen horsemen who broke away from the Khitan army formation, marched straight to the Datong army formation, stopped hundreds of steps outside the formation, and divided two horsemen to talk to the defenders of the Datong army.

Soon, after the news was reported layer by layer, Li Congjing learned that it was Yelu Enemy Lie on the other side, and asked Li Congjing to speak in front of the array. Li Congjing had already seen that among the dozen or so riders on the other side, there was a tall man with a divine horse, and next to him, there was a man who looked like a Han scholar.

The two armies faced each other, and Yelu Enemy Lie only led more than ten horsemen, and he dared to go hundreds of steps in front of the Datong Army alone, and as the noble identity of the king of the Khitan North Courtyard, he could wait in front of the battle, just this courage and mind is not something that ordinary people can have.

Li Congjing did not have any reason to admit this, and responded calmly. However, Yelu Enemy Lie behaved so boldly and open-mindedly, and in terms of momentum, he raised himself a lot, but Li Congjing did not intend to let him succeed, so he changed out of his armor and cyan robe before going out of the battle, not to mention that he did not bring other guards, only the fifth girl and Liu Xixi, two women, and went out of the military formation.

Yelu Enemy Lie was indifferent and calm, did not take the Datong Army in his eyes, and dared to go to the front of the battle alone, Li Congjing did not take Yelu Enemy Lie in his eyes, and his light performance not only showed his own bearing and courage, but also contempt for the opponent.

The three rode out of the camp, and from time to time, they met in front of the formation, and the two sides were only about ten paces apart, and sat on their horses to answer.

Since they want to pretend to be forced separately, why don't they just get off the horse, set up a table, and raise a glass to drink? This is an act of seeking death. The relationship between Li Congjing and Yelu is not as good as that between him and Wang Yanzhang at that time, the two have the opposition of race and country, they are opponents in foreign wars, and the contradictions are irreconcilable. Once a person dares to dismount, the distance of ten paces, the other party will immediately pat the horse, and in an instant, he can be cut under the horse. In short, it's okay to pretend to be forced, but you have to be restrained.

When Yelu Enemy Lie and Li Congjing met, the Khitan army's attack on Sangqing Pass stopped again, and Qin Shide and Qin Lin both got a chance to breathe, and went to one place again to observe and discuss the situation in front of them.

Qin Shide took the lead in sighing: "When I first saw the banner and soldiers of my Datong Army after the Khitan Army formation today, the commander was very surprised, and the soldiers of the whole city were also very excited, and they were attacked by the Khitan barbarians for several days, and the morale of the fallen was all raised, Li Congjing is worthy of being a famous general, and there is no void under the fame, he really took my Datong Army soldiers back to Sangqing Pass to support us, I really don't know how he did it!" ”

After sighing, he said: "Later, when I saw that the soldiers of my Datong Army first arrived here, the Ma Army separated and rushed to the Khitan Army, this commander was really surprised, especially after seeing the secret arrangement behind the Khitan Army formation, he was even more worried, and he couldn't wait to run in front of Li Congjing and tell him that there was a trap in the Khitan Army formation. At that time, Ben Shuai thought to himself, since Li Congjing was able to break through from the pursuit and encirclement of the Khitan army, and appeared here intact with thousands of my Datong army, he should be wise and brave, and he would not make such a mistake. Later, seeing his performance in front of the barbarian army, it really made Ben Shuai's eyes shine, such a way of playing, such accurate calculations, it can be seen that Li Congjing is not only profound in strategy and tactics of the battle, but also very deep in details! At this point, Ben Shuai is not worried at all, the officers and men of our Datong Army will re-enter the tiger's mouth, and Sangganguan will fall into the hands of Yelu Enemy Lie! ”

Speaking of this, Qin Shide joked with a smile: "I was not in front of the battle, and I was shocked for a moment, but I didn't know that Li Congjing was calm and relaxed, and he was at ease, it seems that Ben Shuai is indeed old, and he can't compete with these young people!" ”

In the past few days, Qin Lin, who has been highly nervous, can finally relax a little at this time, which allows him to smile from the bottom of his heart, and said: "The military commander should be old and strong, and if he cares, he will be chaotic, how can there be a hero in the twilight." Right now, with the military commander inside and Li Congjing outside, the two of you will work together to blast the enemy away from Sang Khan! ”

Qin Shide nodded, "Indeed, with Li Congjing leading thousands of elites of my Datong Army outside, this commander really doesn't have to worry anymore!" Next, the battle needs to be more secure, and we must not fall for the tricks of Yelu's enemy, so that the good situation that Li Congjing finally won back will be in vain! ”

Qin Lin said respectfully. He raised his head, looked at the position of the Datong army outside the city, and thought in his heart: "How did this Li Congjing grow into this appearance, he is so young, he has such a ghostly talent, which makes me equal to my peers, how can I be embarrassed to say that I am a good general?" ”

Outside the Datong Army's military formation, Li Congjing and Yelu Enemy Lie each saluted each other slightly, showing their cultivation while not losing their momentum.

Li Congjing actually brought two women out to meet, which made Yelu Enemy Lie unexpected, of course he knew that this was Li Congjing expressing contempt for him, but he was not angry, and said with a smile: "In the Tang Dynasty, there were countless civil ministers and military generals, but there were only three people who could be called good talents in the eyes of this king. ”
