At the head of Yingzhou City, Ku Chi also looked at the west and maintained a solemn posture for a long time.

He is a man in the army, since the day he climbed on horseback, he has never stopped the war with wild beasts and enemies, from the beginning of fighting for his own life for food, to leading the tribal warriors to conquer the Quartet, and finally becoming famous, leading the tribe to glory, Kuchi Yesuer's life is not complicated, but it is a microcosm of the outstanding steppe people. Unlike Yelu Wantin's changeable nature, Kuchi Yesuer's personality, like his way of fighting, is upright and cautious, and although he does not lack courage, he is rarely reckless.

This time, the Tun Barracks Prefecture resisted Li Congjing, and Kuchi also Su'er was subordinate to Yelu Xiangyin's dispatch, Yelu Xiangyin quickly pacified the Liaodong battlefield, and the elite gathered in Yannan, and Yingzhou were each other's horns, echoing each other, and he himself also arrived in Yannan after handing over the defense of Yingzhou to Kuchi Yesu'er. Yingzhou's defense is not complicated, there is a strong city as a reliance, everything in routine matters has rules to follow, as a Khitan who is famous for his good defense, Kuchi Yesu'er, should deal with the current situation in Yingzhou very calmly.

However, the battlefield is sinister after all, and the battle is never easy.

What made Kuchi Yesu'er worry at this time was the war situation in the West. At that place, Yelu Yuyin was fighting with the Jizhou army, and the two sides had repeatedly fought over the northern border of Jizhou, and more and more military forces were invested. This means that the big war is about to begin, and Kuchi also has this keen sense of smell.

The person who Kuchi was waiting for finally arrived, and the other party brought the latest situation of the battle situation in Yannan, and also brought the military order of Yelu Wanten.

"Reinforcements Yannan?" When Kuchi Yesu'er heard this military order, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and he looked at the envoy with a puzzled and puzzled look, hoping for a further explanation. There are 30,000 Khitan troops in Yannan, and Yelu Yuyin is in charge himself, and the current news that the Tang army participating in the battle for the northern border of Jizhou is only Ma Huaiyuan's Jizhou army. Even if Li Congjing came to aid Jizhou, but the battle had not started, and the two armies of Baizhan and Lulong had not yet appeared, Yelu wanted to hide that Kuchi would quickly leave Yingzhou and rush to aid Yannan, so he couldn't help but be anxious.

Yelu wanted to hide the messenger and said: "The Jizhou army is just Li Congjing's bait, behind the Jizhou army, Li Congjing must have a backhand, and the marshal sent the general to deal with Li Congjing's backhand." ”

As the chief general who commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Yelu Yuyin also had his own views and opinions on the battle situation, he said: "The two armies of Baizhan and Lulong have not yet appeared, if I rashly divide the troops in Yannan, once the two armies of Baizhan and Lulong come to attack Yingzhou, what can I do?" ”

The messenger chuckled and said, "How cautious the general is! However, it is not necessary to do so. Yingzhou is strong, it is not easy to conquer, the general only needs to divide 10,000 troops to aid Yannan, leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend Yingzhou, more than enough. ”

Kuchi also thought about it carefully, and finally accepted this military order.

He mobilized 10,000 soldiers and horses, ordered the generals, and set off for Yannan, while he himself continued to sit in Yingzhou.

When the Jizhou army effectively resisted Yelu Xiangyin's thousands of cavalry for the last time and was defeated, Yelu Xiangyin was only twenty or thirty miles away from Jizhou City, looking at the Jizhou army that had abandoned its armor and fled, Yelu Xiangyin showed a smug smile.

He pointed ahead and smiled left and right: "Jizhou City is in front of you, and you can go down on your fingers." ”

One of Yelu Yuyin's staff members worried: "From the border here, nearly a hundred miles away, it has taken a day or two for us to fight with the Jizhou army all the way, but during this period, there are no other Tang troops to help, it is really strange!" ”

Someone laughed and said: "It's only a day or two, the Tang army just wants to come to help, how can it be so fast?" ”

The staff member shook his head, "It would be fine if it was someone else who fought with us, but Li Congjing was different. And he and I have been entangled at the border for a long time, there must be a plan, now that the Jizhou army is defeated and retreated, how can no one answer for a long time, let me wait all the way to Jizhou City? ”

When he said this, many people felt that it was very reasonable, and when they thought of the strange part, there were many people whose faces changed drastically.

"Li Congjing hasn't appeared for a long time, and the two armies of Baizhan and Lu Long have not been found, what does he want to do?" The question thrown by the staff made everyone no longer immersed in the victory in front of them.

"Li Congjing has always been cunning and scheming, could it be that he has already set up an ambush and is calculating us?" When everyone felt bad and looked at Yelu Xiangyin worriedly, Yelu Xiangyin let out a burst of laughter.

Everyone was puzzled, and the staff asked: "If the situation is like this, if Li Congjing really has a conspiracy, then we are in a worrying situation, why is the big man laughing?" ”

"You are asking where Li Congjing is, and I will tell you where Li Congjing is now!" Yelu wanted to hide his sleeves, and his words were not shocking, "The erector has gone to Yannan!" ”

Everyone was shocked, looking at each other, some people exclaimed that it was not good, and the staff turned their brains faster, thinking and asking: "The marshal has long expected that Li Congjing will sneak attack Yannan?" ”

"It's nature." Yelu snorted coldly, and the people in front of the meeting had doubts, so he explained to them: "Since the start of the war in Jizhou, I have only seen the Jizhou army, but I have not heard of the two armies of Baizhan and Lulong, Li Congjing is going to rush to aid the Bohai Kingdom, and if he wants to rush to the Bohai Kingdom, he must first deal with us and others. ”

"Previously, the Jizhou army went north to meet us, but they retreated in a battle. It's just a matter of retreating, but they just kill back the horse gun in the middle of the road, if they have the two armies of Baizhan and Lulong behind them, it is inevitable to fight back halfway, but this is not the case. You might as well think about it, the Jizhou army has already retreated, and there are no reinforcements, why do you have to turn around and fight again? Obviously, this is something else! In other words, the Jizhou Army is the bait that Li Congjing placed in front of us, and it is to lure us into the trap. Li Congjing did this for only one purpose, and that was to drag us down. Yelu Xiangyin said slowly, and these words fell on the ears of everyone in front of him, which was tantamount to thunder on a sunny day, "Let me ask you, Li Congjing did everything possible to drag us down, what do you want?" ”

"There are only two possibilities. First, the former army dragged us and others, and then used the large army to flank and encircle and annihilate. The staff thought for a while, and said with a solemn face: "The two are Li Congjing's army with another goal...... This goal, for now, is most likely to be the place where the main force of our army is located, Yannan! Speaking of this, the staff was shocked, "Li Congjing is going to attack my Yannan army?!" ”

Yelu wanted to say coldly: "Although Li Congjing is young, he is extremely conceited, he has spent so much effort, and he does not hesitate to drag you and me at the cost of the huge sacrifice of the Jizhou army, and the plot is naturally impossible and insignificant." At the moment, since he did not appear on the side or behind you and me, he could only lead the troops to Yannan. I have an army of 20,000 in Yannan, and Li Congjing wants to eat it in one fell swoop! Destroy my army, destroy my camp, this is Li Congjing's ambition! ”

"Yannan has 20,000 of my army, what does Li Congjing have to rely on, dare to say that he will win the battle?" Someone was shocked.

The staff said in a deep voice: "There are 30,000 people in the two armies of Baizhan and Lulong, and they are all elite in Baizhan, and their combat power should not be underestimated. Besides, this time Li Congjing is obviously prepared, he has always had a military strategy, and he has a very set of troop arrangements, how can he not rely on this trip? On the other hand, my Yannan battalion, in the rear, far away from the front line, would never have expected that Li Congjing would be so alone in the depths and go straight to the Yellow Dragon, and if he was suddenly attacked, he would definitely be chaotic! In this way, I am afraid that the situation is critical! ”

Yelu laughed faintly, "However, everything is already in the hands of Ben Shuai!" ”

"Dare to ask the handsome man's strategy!"

"I have ordered the fast horses to gallop back to Yannan, and ordered Yelunar to hold the camp. At the same time, Kuchi Yesu'er reinforcements are already on the way, and they will arrive in Yannan in a few days! ”

"So, Yannan An!"

"Hmph, Yannan is safe, Li Congjing is dead!"

……

Yannan, Khitan camp.

At dawn, the smoke billowed out of the outer camp and was full of devastation, and the burned tents, the dead sergeants, and the ruined corner towers looked like a broken painting.

Yelunar stood on the watchtower, and saw the dense and tightly formed Tang army in the outer camp, with a face sinking like water, and the figures in black robes and black armor converged into a black ocean, which was the most turbulent and sinister existence in the world.

The fact that the outer camp has been lost is irreversible.

Last night, the Tang army in front of him suddenly killed, in advance mixed into the camp in the internal response, the destruction of the general break through the defense line of the outer camp, fortunately Yelu Naer made a decisive decision, in time to let the soldiers of the outer battalion retreat into the inner camp, the two battalions of soldiers together to build a defensive line, this is to stabilize the position in time, the Tang army out of the inner camp, to avoid more heavy casualties, but also to avoid being broken by the Tang army in one fell swoop.

It was only now that Yelu Naer saw the Tang army in front of him clearly, and also knew the scale of the other party, which was an army of no less than 20,000 people, and their banner showed that they were the elite army that had broken through Liangdu and fought in Pingzhou and Yingzhou.

Li Congjing's yellow flag is not difficult to find, and it is in the most conspicuous position. His gaze fell from the yellow flag down and fell on the brightly armored knights in front of the yellow flag, although it was impossible to see the other party clearly, and even the figure of the other party was blurry, but Yelu Naer knew that Li Congjing was there.

It was this guy who descended from heaven that made him lose the outer camp overnight, and also caused more than 1,000 Khitan warriors to lose their lives.

Although Yelunar couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, he knew that the inner camp under his feet was extremely strong, and it was impossible for the Tang army to break through his inner camp as easily as he did to break through the outer camp. But it is well known that the Han army is good at attacking cities, and in this regard, the steppe army is more than a cut behind. Seeing that the Tang army was collecting and sorting out the siege equipment in the outer camp, Yelu Naer's face darkened a little.

Just when he was at a loss, two letters were delivered to him, one after the other.

In the outer camp, Li Congjing, Mo Li, Li Shaocheng and others were pointing fingers at the Khitan inner camp, observing the structure of the Khitan inner camp while distinguishing its defensive priorities and weak areas.

While they were pointing and observing, the army of the Hundred Battles Army was not idle, and a group of soldiers was divided from it, led by Jing Renzhong, and began to storm the Khitan inner camp, officially launching the first round of charges after dawn.

The reason why the Khitan camp is divided into inner camp and outer camp is that there are earthen walls and trenches between the two camps, which divide the whole camp into two pieces, which looks like an outer ring and an inner circle. If the army of the hundred battles wants to attack the inner camp, it needs to fill the ditch and break the door.

When Jing Renzhong led the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army to rush to the camp, Li Congjing and others turned their eyes to the battle place and did not stop discussing. Jing Renzhong's first attack was originally a tentative attack, the purpose of which was to further test the weak point of the Khitan camp's defense, and then the Hundred Battles Army would storm from this weak point, in order to break through the camp as soon as possible.

"This group of Khitan barbarians is very tenacious, and it is extremely rare that they can mess up and not collapse last night." Mo Li said while observing the battlefield.

"Although Yelu wants to hide his temperament, he does have a very good set of military governance, and the layout of the inner and outer camps is rare to see." Li Shaocheng said loudly, "If it weren't for that, we would have already defeated this Khitan army and broken through this military camp at this time. ”

Li Congjing looked at the battlefield and camp in front of him, his eyes narrowed.

From time to time, two copies of the army were reported to him.
