On the eve of the previous year, seeing that the capture of the Tang army camp was in sight, Yelu wanted to hide it and was excited and excited. Stepping into the camp of the Tang Army with one foot, and it was in the middle of the night, it is self-evident what such a situation means. The victory was not easy to come by, and Yelu wanted to hide the opportunity, and in this case, without the slightest reservation, sent all the reserves.

However, Changshengtian made a joke to Yelu Yuyin, and the Lu Longjun who fell from the sky was something he never expected. After the appearance of the Lu Long Army, Yelu Yuyin didn't even react for a long time - how could an army appear out of thin air here? Under the circumstances, as a veteran general in the army, Yelu Yuyin already knew what that meant.

Although he dispatched troops to redeem the defeat, but the chaos of most of the Khitan soldiers was uncontrollable, and in the chaos of the army, Yelu Yuyin had to go into battle to fight in person.

Compared with the hardships of his own body, Yelu wanted to hide what he couldn't bear even more, because he lost to Li Congjing. From sitting in Yannan, to attacking the northern military fort of Jizhou, and then to besieging the Tang army here, Yelu wanted to hide the development of the battle situation countless times in his mind, and also imagined countless possibilities, but he never thought that he would be defeated.

From beginning to end, Yelu wanted to hide that he would definitely win this battle.

"This handsome horse has never seen any storms in his life, what a hero has never been killed, how could he be defeated in the hands of Li Congjing, a kid?" Before, Yelu wanted to hide this more than once to say this to the left and right. He looked down on Li Congjing, in his eyes, although he was calculating step by step in this campaign, and seemed to attach great importance to Li Congjing, but deep down, he still regarded Li Congjing as a milky child.

Defeated by Li Congjing, Yelu wanted to hide and couldn't accept it, this is a great shame, a great shame that has never been seen in his life!

After leaving the battlefield, Yelu Desire, whose face was as black as ink, forcibly held back the sense of humiliation and resentment in his heart, issued military orders to the left and right, and gathered the defeated soldiers.

"The Tang army is mostly foot soldiers, there are few cavalry, and it is not very elite, so it will definitely not be able to effectively pursue our army, this is a good time for us to gather our soldiers and make a comeback!"

Although Yelu Xiangyin has a perverse temperament and is emotionally unstable at this time, in military terms, he is still the top group of people in the Khitan Kingdom, and he knows what to do at this time. When issuing the military order, he did not forget to encourage the morale of the left and right, "When I gather some soldiers, if the Tang army chases after me, then we can go back to ambush and kill a horse gun!" If the Tang army doesn't chase after him, while he is chasing everywhere and his troops are scattered, we will have a chance to kill back! ”

His words were not unreasonable, at least they sounded hopeful, and hundreds of horsemen on his left and right, a little excited when they heard the words, dispersed half, and gathered the rout.

However, before these people rushed out for less than two moments, they all retreated in embarrassment, and reported in horror that Yelu wanted to hide, "A large number of Tang cavalry have been killed, and the handsome man is leaving!" ”

"I'm afraid that he will do something, there are not many Tang Qi in total, and how can he come here? Kill me back and face this Tang army! Yelu wanted to draw his sword and roared, and gave a sharp order. At this time, although he will suffer losses, morale is undoubtedly more important than 100 casualties, especially when he gathers the remnants of his army and wants to fight again.

The left and right raised their swords and shouted, and they all expressed their willingness to fight from Yelu to hide.

Personally led the soldiers to charge into battle, Yelu was full of confidence, he saw this chasing army, the number of people was not much different, or even slightly less, when he met the opposite general, he didn't know that he was facing Guo Wei, a gentleman.

A remnant of the army, how is it the opponent of Junzidu, the battle lasted only a moment, and the soldiers led by Yelu Xiangyin were killed to the ground, and Yelu Xiangyin himself was almost cut off by the other party in the fight with Guo Wei.

In the end, Yelu wanted to hide and fled in embarrassment with even greater humiliation. After this battle, there were no more than 100 soldiers left around him. And Junzidu's relentless pursuit also made Yelu want to hide the idea of gathering the remnants of the army to fight again, and it came to naught, so he could only desperately flee in the direction of Yingzhou with his tail between his legs.

Yelu Xiangyin, who was calling for wind and rain on the grassland and was invincible, when he experienced such treatment, he was driven east by the gentlemen, which reminded him of the experience of being bullied as a child, but he couldn't fight back.

Fortunately, in the end, Yelu Xiangyin still got rid of the pursuit of Junzidu, and Yelu Xiangyin, who did not eat or drink along the way, deeply engraved the painful experience of defeat and escape in his heart, and he swore that he must kill back, "Li Congjing, if you can't break your body into ten thousand pieces, I Yelu wants to hide in vain!" ”

After learning from the pain, although Yelu wanted to hide his heart like a knife, he desperately stabilized his mood and gritted his teeth and ran to Yingzhou City. When he finally arrived in Yingzhou, he regained his confidence, and reluctantly encouraged Hu Chi Yesu'er with a pleasant face: "Yannan was broken, although it was a great loss, but as long as Yingzhou was held, Li Congjing still couldn't go north." Kuchi is also fast, you are good at guarding the city, there are still thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, we can't hold it out, forgive him Li Congjing can't help me, as long as Li Congjing is dragged to next year, when the emperor breaks the Bohai Kingdom, the army will come back, and we will definitely have a chance to destroy Li Congjing! ”

Not long after he went forward, he finally saw the city wall of Yingzhou, Yelu wanted to hide and didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, but the Yingzhou city in his vision was surrounded by the Tang Legion in the middle!

Yelu Yuyin almost thought that he had seen it wrong, he confirmed it again and again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and when he mentioned Kuchi Yesu'er, he roared: "How can there be a Tang army outside Yingzhou City, how can there be a Tang army?!" Where did this group of Don troops come from? How could they besiege Yingzhou City, how could you let them besiege Yingzhou City! ”

He pulled out his waist knife suddenly, and was about to slash at Kuchi Yesu'er, "You idiot, what do you want this commander to do!" ”

Before the waist knife fell, his eyes were dark, and under the rapid fire, Yelu wanted to hide a mouthful of blood and spurted out, and fell off the horse.

Kuchi and Su'er and others were shocked, helped Yelu to hide, and hid into the forest. During this period, he sent rangers to inquire about the battle situation in Yingzhou, and then got the news that the Tang army outside Yingzhou City, about 10,000 people, besieged the city for a short time, besieged but not attacked, and the intention was unknown.

"Only 10,000 people besiege the city, it's good, you can still blend into the city!" Ku Chi also quickly breathed a sigh of relief. When it was dark, he used a sound strategy to attack the east and west, from the area where the Tang army was few, through the defense line, and smoothly entered the city.

In the first battle of Yannan, he took advantage of the night battle, and pursued everywhere for two days, and the two armies of Baizhan and Lulong killed more than 20,000 enemies, of which a large part of the head came from the time when the Khitan army was in chaos during the night battle; There were thousands of prisoners, but Li Congjing did not kill indiscriminately. After taking the inner camp of Yannan Khitan, the seizure was even more abundant, whether it was military rations or ordnance, it was too many. The grassland peoples fought and carried more cattle and sheep, and some tribal chiefs under Yelu wanted to hide them, and they brought their own beautiful women, which were now also in Li Congjing's pocket and rewarded the soldiers. As the location of Yelu's 30,000 Khitan troops, this capture alone was enough to support the two armies of Baizhan and Lulong to fight for more than a month.

However, it was said that Li Congjing held a celebration banquet in Yannan, and after a rough discussion of the merits and deeds of the officers and men of the whole army, he did not stop much, waved his army eastward, and arrived at the city of Yingzhou in a few days.

While Kuchi Yesuer led the main force of Yingzhou to the west, what besieged Yingzhou City was the last part of Youzhou's existing mobile forces - the new army led by Peng Zushan. Before the war, it has always been used as a force to transport grain and grass and baggage, and it went to Jizhou, Pingzhou and other places.

Li Congjing went out of Youzhou to face Yelu Xiangyin, and the goal was very clear: to pull out the two nails of Yannan and Yingzhou. That is to say, Yannan is only the first strategic goal that Li Congjing wants to achieve in this battle, not all of them, and taking Yingzhou at the same time is Li Congjing's overall plan.

At the time of the battle with Yelu Xiangyin, the new army was only assembled as a whole at first, and did not make any rash moves. If Yelu wants to hide in the Jizhou army that pursues Ma Huaiyuan and storms Jizhou City, the new army will cooperate with Ma Huaiyuan to defend the city and drag Yelu to hide in Jizhou, and Li Congjing can calmly eat Yannan. If Li Congjing and Yelu want to conceal the battle in Yannan, the new army, as a reserve, can either join the battle or accept Li Congjing's retreat from Yannan depending on the situation. Finally, the current scenario, when Li Congjing was convinced that the Yilu Long army could defeat Yelu Xiangyin, and the air defense of Yingzhou City was weak, he seized the fighter plane and sent the new army to Yingzhou to besiege Yingzhou City, not only to prevent a large number of remnants of the army from Yannan from entering the city, but also to make preparations for the siege of the city, and then attack the city when the army arrived.

Kuchi is also good at guarding, which is not a secret for Li Congjing, as early as before the war, the Yanwu Academy and the General Staff Office have studied Kuchi and Su'er very deeply. Therefore, the battle against Yingzhou City will not be very simple. After besieging Yingzhou City, the New Army pulled out the defensive facilities outside the camp, cleared the siege roads, and filled the trenches.

Before leaving Youzhou, in view of the strong defense of Yingzhou and the strong soldiers and horses, Li Congjing even considered not conquering this city, and only limited it with the new army stationed outside the city under the premise of breaking through Yannan, and the army went directly north to reinforce the Bohai Sea.

It can be seen that if it is well defended, it will stick to the fortified city, and it is indeed not easy to overcome it.

But now for Li Congjing, the situation has taken a turn for the better, the 20,000 defenders in Yingzhou have experienced the failure of the previous two western aids, especially the latter one, Kuchi also led the main force in the city to the west, and after the defeat of Yannan, the Khitan defenders in Yingzhou City who were able to fight not only had only about 5,000 people left, but also had low morale.

Under normal circumstances, 5,000 elites are stationed in Yingzhou, and with the ability to quickly defend the city, even in the face of an ordinary army of 50,000 attacking the city, they can hold on for a month or two. However, when the two armies of Baizhan and Lulong carried the power of a great victory, and the new army had been recuperating for a long time, the situation was already different. In addition, Li Congjing has also been preparing for Keying City for a long time.

Li Congjing's preparations for Keyingzhou are based on the premise that Yingzhou has 20,000 defenders, and now there are only 5,000 capable fighters in the city, and Li Congjing's preparation lineup can be called terrifying.

After quickly arriving at Yingzhou City, Li Congjing did not immediately order an attack on it, but waited for several days.

For Yelu Yuyin and Kuchi Yesuer in Yingzhou City, they have been living like a year in the past few days.
