(Second update.) ）

At this time, Li Congjing fully demonstrated his military quality, the previous ten years of military books were not read in vain, he smiled at Li Yan and said: "Don't worry, general, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and see how the commander breaks the Yelu enemy to stab this method." ”

Immediately, Li Congjing ordered the soldiers to build two high-rise buildings on the city, widening its platform, placing more stones and rolling wood, supplemented by archers, overlooking the Khitan Tu Mountain. With Li Congjing's order, the soldiers attacked from top to bottom on the tall building, and the offensive was as rapid as a rain of rain for a while, and countless bows and arrows poured down, leaving the Khitan soldiers dead and wounded for a while.

In such a battle for half a day, the Khitan soldiers suffered heavy casualties and retreated in a hurry. Jerod's plan to build a mountain of earth in order to cross the city failed.

Li Yanrao admired Li Congjing very much, and said sincerely: "The military commander is talented, I can't wait!" He also said, "Yelu's enemy stabbed and failed to attack for days, and today he was planning to mobilize 10,000 people to build a mountain, but it was easily broken by the military commander, and now Yelu's enemy stabbed him without a way, right?" ”

Li Congjing laughed and said nothing.

Yelu stabbed outside the city and looked at the high-rise building built by Li Congjing, so angry that one Buddha went out of the body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and he suddenly hated and said: "If you tie the building to the sky, I will go through the city to take it!" Immediately, the generals were summoned and the next tactics were arranged.

On the ninth day of the Khitan siege, Li Congjing suddenly summoned the fifth and ordered her to take the military intelligence office to various places in the city.

When the soldiers of the military intelligence department, all dressed in green robes, appeared in large numbers on the city walls, corridors, and various places in the city, the soldiers defending the city were very surprised. The officers and men of the Hundred Battles Army are just that, they are more familiar with the Military Intelligence Department, and they know that this is a "special organization" set up by Li Congjing, and they are extremely good at collecting enemy information, but most of the activities of the Military Intelligence Department are hidden on weekdays, and the Shenlong can see the head but not the end, and it is extremely rare to see groups of military intelligence personnel on weekdays. Not to mention appearing on the frontal battlefield?

Guo Wei couldn't help but sigh: "I knew that there was a military intelligence department, but I didn't expect that there were so many sharp soldiers in the military intelligence department!" I couldn't help but think again, "There are so many people, I don't even see a few on weekdays, can they all be invisible?" ”

Meng Ping was much calmer, and when he saw the fifth in an extremely eye-catching red dress, he could still beckon: "Little girl, do you want Ben to help?" But the fifth girl glared back.

The Hundred Battles Army was still like this, and Lu Longjun was even more surprised. Especially when I saw that the military intelligence department was either with its ears against the wall or against the ground, I didn't know what the other side was going to do. If it weren't for the fact that the war had been going on and they couldn't be distracted, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to help but come forward and ask what was going on.

Of course, they didn't know that the sharp soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department were all equipped with unique skills and had learned a lot of things, and they were "special forces" under Li Congjing.

A day later, Li Congjing called Meng Ping and asked him to take people and follow the sharp men of the Military Intelligence Department to dig a pit in the city. The so-called pit is actually a huge trench, and often a pit can accommodate dozens of people. This shows how huge the project is.

Outside the city, in a tent in the Khitan military camp, Yelu stood in front of a round pit with his hands in his hands.

The pit in front of him was a passage into the ground, and it was wide enough for the armor to pass through. From time to time, a thousand commanders leaned out of the tunnel, he was covered in mud, his hair was stuck in one place, and he saluted respectfully in front of the Yelu enemy, and it was difficult to hide his excitement, "Report to the marshal, the tunnel has been dug under the city of Yingzhou, just wait for the marshal to order, you can pass through the wall and enter the city of Yingzhou!" At that time, our Great Khitan warriors will be able to appear behind the Tang Army, attack the Tang Army on the city wall, and cooperate with the frontal siege warriors, which will definitely make the Tang Army take care of one and lose the other, and die without a place to be buried! ”

Yelu nodded with satisfaction, suppressed the joy rising in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent: "Even so, don't be careless." After tonight's third watch, dig through the last section of the tunnel and enter the city of Yingzhou! ”

"Yes, Dashuai!"

Yelu stabbed for a moment, but after all, he didn't hold it, and said with a cruel smile: "This time, we will definitely capture Li Congjing's yellow-toothed child alive, and Ben Shuai will use his head as a wine pot to hold Ben Shuai's Western Regions elixir!" ”

Finally, I waited for the night, and took advantage of the cover of the night, the Khitan warriors who were carefully selected by the Yelu enemy gathered in several large tents and stood by around the entrance of the tunnel. These warriors who can be ten on the battlefield, all of them are tigers and bears, and at this time they are equipped with fine knives and thick armor, and their combat power is very strong. These were the descendants of the Jerud enemy, and for the sake of tonight's victory, he even sent his own personal guards, although this battle was not a lonely bet, but it also placed great hopes on him, and spent a great deal of his efforts.

"Break through Yingzhou City, capture Li Congjing alive, and fight here!" Jerod said one last word to the warriors, and waved his big hand, "Enter the tunnel, go!" ”

After the warriors entered the tunnel, Jerod Thorn walked out of the tent. He stood in front of the tent, looked at Yingzhou City, showed a smile, and said complacently: "Yingzhou City, tomorrow you will be with Li Congjing, at the feet of Ben Shuai!" ”

In the city, the lights are bright.

Meng Ping stood in front of a trench, wiped the sweat on his forehead, threw away the shovel in his hand, sat on the ground, took the water bladder handed by the guard, raised his head and poured a big mouthful, wiped his mouth, and before he could say anything, someone came over.

Meng Ping stood up, "Childe." ”

The soldiers on the edge of the trench all straightened up and saluted, making way for a way, Li Congjing walked to the side of the trench and asked Meng Ping, "How is the situation?" ”

Meng Ping grinned, "With the help of the sharp soldiers of the Military Intelligence Department, everything is in order!" ”

Li Congjing nodded, and said to the fifth girl who followed him: "If this time it is done, you will do a great job!" ”

The fifth girl nodded tightly, and the chick pecked at the rice, smiling brightly.

"Marshal, there's movement!" A sharp soldier from the Military Intelligence Department came forward to report, and he still had a 'ground listening' in his hand.

Meng Ping looked at Li Congjing, Li Congjing nodded slightly, and Meng Ping immediately ordered: "All departments are in place!" ”

For half an hour, the murmur beneath the ground grew clearer and clearer, until the last rather crisp sound had passed, and everything fell silent. On the periphery of the trench, the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army were on three floors and three on the outside, and the pikemen and archers were ready to attack, and the blades under the torches were particularly clear.

When the Khitan sergeant appeared in the trench, Li Congjing, who was standing on a high place not far away, could still see the astonishment on the other party's face, they were probably wondering why a huge trench appeared in front of the tunnel. However, before they could climb out of the trench, with Meng Ping's right hand clenching his fist, the changing hand knife was drawn forward, and the archers immediately rushed out, firing a burst of fire.

Suddenly, I only heard the muffled sound of the bowstring popping, and I saw countless sharp arrows flying into the trench, and screams and exclamations immediately sounded in the trench!

These Khitan warriors who were picked out by Yelu's enemies and had high hopes for them to appear behind the Tang army and raid the Tang army through their unaware appearance, and as soon as they appeared, they were shrouded in iron arrows without even touching the corners of the Tang army's clothes. At such a close distance, even if they are armoured, these Khitan warriors will not escape the fate of thousands of arrows piercing their hearts!

There were several trenches in the city, and the same scene was playing out almost simultaneously.

The Khitan soldiers in the trenches, howling, huddled together, and kept falling down in a hurry, and they died in an instant.

Meng Ping jumped out suddenly, and jumped into the trench with the armor soldier. Behind him, the soldiers brought firewood and grass into the trenches, piled them at the mouth of the tunnel dug by the Khitan, and lit a fire. Then the sergeant put the leather row blower into the trench and blew a strong wind against the burning firewood and grass. The wind and smoke blew into the tunnel, and rushed to the Khitan sergeant behind him, and the fire rushed, and there was a red light in the tunnel, and the Khitan sergeant who was in it was instantly swept by the fire dragon, and in the cry that he couldn't bear to hear, he became a burning man. Although the tunnel space is not small, it can only pass normally, so these Khitan warriors have no escape, no escape, and they will be burned into veritable rotten people in a short time!

The general trend has been decided, Li Congjing walked down from the height, pulled a happy face, and as a loyal audience, the fifth girl who was in a state of excitement and couldn't extricate herself, left this battlefield.

On the way back, the fifth girl followed Li Congjing step by step, and said with a smile: "Yelu stabbed this old thief, thinking that digging a tunnel would break the city, but we didn't know that we had already had a way to deal with it, this time I lifted a stone and hit my own foot, my expression must be wonderful!" ”

Seeing that Li Congjing ignored her, the fifth leaned up on his little head with two pigtails and asked, "Military marshal, Yelu's enemy stabbed this time and suffered a loss, there should be no way, right?" ”

Li Congjing just smiled faintly and did not answer.

Outside the city, after receiving the news that the battle had been lost and that the sneak attack on the warriors had been wiped out, Yelu was so angry that he smashed Xiao Ji with one punch. He pointed to Yingzhou City and roared: "Li Congjing! If you don't kill you, the old man swears not to be a man! ”

Thinking that he had lost countless elites in this battle, and even most of his own guards had been buried, Yelu's intuition was extremely painful, and his feelings of shame and indignation were uncontrollable.

However, Yelu was a tenacious general, and although the siege of the city was repeatedly frustrated, his ambition was not lost, and he locked himself up and shut himself up all day, thinking hard about how to destroy the enemy. In this way, he came up with a new siege method.

On the seventeenth day of Yelu's assassination and siege, Li Congjing was inspecting the city wall, inspecting the damage to the city fortifications and the casualties of his soldiers.

It's not that his eyes are sharp, it's that the movements of the Khitan army are too obvious.

If it is said that the Khitan excavation tunnel was carried out in concealment before, then this time the Khitan excavation of the tunnel is blatant. This is not because Jerod pierced the jar and broke it, but because he changed the tactics of war.

Li Congjing looked at it. Outside the city, there are more than 20 lanes dug by the Khitan army, extending to Yingzhou City from four different directions, winding and twisting, like an intestine.

"What did Jerod do when he stabbed this old thief to dig so many passages? Could it be that he tried to dig through our walls? Ding Hei, who was following Li Congjing, was puzzled.

Li Congjing smiled and said, "You're right. ”

Ding Hei said it casually, spitting out more bad than analyzing, but he never thought that Li Congjing actually agreed with his concept, and suddenly some of the second monks were confused, "Ah? ”

A few days later, the passage of the Khitan army dug under the city wall, and under the cover of the frontal siege army, they "put beams and pillars in it, poured oil into the pillars, set fire to them, broke the pillars, and the city collapsed"!

In short, the Khitan dug the passage under the city wall, chiseled a section of the wall, and used pillars to top it to prevent it from collapsing, and when it was chiseled to a certain extent, it coated the wooden pillars with oil, and when the pillars were burned off, the city wall lost its support and collapsed.

In this regard, Li Congjing's response was to erect a wooden fence at the collapsed city wall to defend it, and then use the wooden city wall to temporarily plug the gap, so that the Khitan could not attack.

The Khitan spent a lot of effort to dig up the collapsed city wall, but it was blocked by Li Congjing effortlessly, and of course Yelu's enemy thorn refused to accept it, and burned the wooden fence and wooden wall with fire. Li Congjing dispatched soldiers to extinguish the fire, but some Khitan soldiers set fire to the wooden fences and wooden walls, so they poured water to extinguish them, and prepared a large number of reserve wooden fences and wooden walls to fill at any time.

As a result, the battle at the collapsed city wall was extremely fierce.

For several days, the Khitan army was unable to break into the city, and the Yelu enemy was forced to abandon this method of warfare.

A few days later, when Yelu's enemy attacked Yingzhou for nearly a month, he used the craftsmen in the camp to build a tall siege vehicle, and ordered the Khitan soldiers to attack and attack the Tang army on the city wall from a high altitude on the siege vehicle, intending to capture the city.

Li Congjing dealt with this more common siege vehicle more simply, he collected a large amount of cloth in the city, sewed these cloths together to form a long and wide curtain, and whenever the Khitan army attacked the city with siege vehicles, it was used to spread it along the direction of the siege vehicle attack. The curtain hung in the air, because it was "bent and stretched" to a certain extent, and the siege vehicle could not be broken.

If the battle was fierce for many days, the Jelu enemy saw that this method was difficult to work, so he used a long pole to tie flammable branches, poured grease, and stretched out the head of the city when the army attacked the city, intending to burn the fortifications on the city.

Li Congjing admired Yelu's enemy thorn very much, as a grassland general, he was able to come up with so many siege methods, and his talent has surpassed many Central Plains generals. Admiration and admiration, Li Congjing also had to crack his plan, which was to make many long iron hooks, polish their blades sharp, and when the Khitan fire rod came, he would cut it with iron hooks, so that the branches were broken and fell, not only could not burn the fortifications on the city, fell into the Khitan army under the city, but also burned many Khitan soldiers.

After the plan of Yelu's assassination was cracked by Li Congjing, Li Yanchao, Li Yanrao, Guo Wei, Meng Ping, and Li Shaocheng, who had recovered from his injuries, all gathered at the head of the city and waited for Yelu's assassination to implement the next tactic.

Li Shaocheng said with emotion: "Yelu enemy thorn, grassland barbarian thief, can be proficient in the Central Plains siege method so far, it is surprising and amazing!" Since the Khitan has grown, the country has been full of good generals and talents, if you don't strike early, it will be a big disaster! ”

Li Congjing thought so.

But this time, after waiting for five days in a row, Yelu's enemy assassin did not come up with a new tactic. Just when everyone was about to lose patience, the Khitan army used bows and arrows to shoot a large number of documents into the city during the siege.

Li took one from Jing's order, opened it and looked at it, and then laughed.

The generals were puzzled and rushed to see, but they saw that the document read: "Those who can behead Li Congjing, worship the eight chiefs, seal the Khitan County Duke, 10,000 households, and reward 10,000 horses!" "The following is written that the Tang army is trapped in a lonely city, and sooner or later it will die, and the Khitan has sent 100,000 troops to help, and the city of Yingzhou can be lowered overnight, and the generals in the city must recognize the situation.

Li Shaocheng and the others were shocked, and said: "How vicious is the assassination of Yelu's enemy, he actually resorted to such a plan to lure me to surrender, this is to cause a rebellion in my city!" ”

Li Congjing shook his head, disapproving, and sneered: "For more than a month, Yelu's enemies have stabbed several siege strategies, all of which have been broken by me, and no work has been built. Now he shot into the city with a book of lure, hoping for civil strife in our army, and giving it an opportunity to take advantage of it, this plan seems vicious, but in fact does it not mean that the enemy assassin has no way to attack the city, and can only rely on such a tongue strategy? ”

After that, Li Congjing stood up, looked at the chaotic battlefield outside the city, and said to the generals: "The fierce battle has reached this point, and the Yelu enemy has exhausted his donkey skills!" The enemy has been tired of fighting so far, he is already exhausted, he has not made an inch, it is inevitable that his morale will be low, and he will be poor, and he will become the end of a strong crossbow, and this is a dead state! The enemy's death realm, my birthplace, the war is here, it should be easy to attack and defend! ”

All the soldiers were in high spirits when they heard this, and the fatigue of days of hard fighting was swept away, Guo Wei asked: "What about this letter of lure?" ”

Li Congjing asked the fifth to bring a brush, write on the document for a while, hand it to Guo Wei, and said, "Shoot into the Khitan army formation!" ”

Guo Weiding saw that the "Tang Army" in the trap of the Tang Army on the document had been replaced with the "Khitan Army", and at the end of the document, immediately after "rewarding 10,000 horses", Li Congjing added a line of words.

"If there is a slasher who slays the enemy, he will be rewarded accordingly!"
