The generals in front of him looked anxious, and you and I made a fuss, disturbing people's hearts, making the already urgent atmosphere even worse. Li Congjing stood in front of the map, looking coldly at the generals who were shouting in front of him, and remained silent.

The noisy and noisy were all the generals of the Lu Long Army, and in the face of the critical situation, even Li Yanchao also had the idea of retreating, although he did not speak, he also looked at Li Congjing closely, waiting for him to give the military order to retreat south. Many generals of the two armies of Baizhan and Lulong are divided into two rows in the house, and they are clearly distinguished. Although the two armies had fought in concert before, they had not yet been integrated.

None of the generals in the row of the hundred battle armies spoke, let alone moved, and even their faces did not change much, especially Guo Wei and Meng Ping, who were calm. They are all strong generals in the army, standing there quietly, the eight winds do not move, there is a kind of Taishan collapsed in front of the face does not change the temperament, silent is better than sound, the momentum is immediately revealed, if there are not many people, there is a taste of standing out from the crowd.

Both are the most important armies in the world, and Lu Longjun is also a division that can fight well, but the difference is so obvious at the moment, there seems to be an insurmountable gap between them.

The contrast between the noisy and the quiet immediately stands out, creating an eerie atmosphere in the room.

Since the formation of the Hundred Battles Army, it may not have experienced more battles than the Lu Long Army, but the dangers it has faced are not necessarily less than that of the Lu Long Army. However, the Hundred Battles Army can turn evil into good fortune when they return, and what they rely on is clear in the hearts of every Hundred Battles Army general.

The generals of the Lu Longjun kept asking for their lives, which annoyed Li Congjing, he simply turned around, faced the map with his hands, and no longer looked at the restless generals of the Lu Longjun, leaving them with a back to urgently ask for withdrawal.

Guo Wei and Meng Ping saw that the generals of Lu Longjun were shouting one after another, and they were already dissatisfied in their hearts, and they saw that the other party behaved inappropriately in front of Li Congjing, which disturbed Li Congjing's normal thinking, and under contempt and anger, they didn't care about saving face for the other party, so they wanted to scold each other.

Before Guo Wei and Meng Ping could speak, Li Yanchao had already reacted, and he yelled at the generals of Lu Longjun behind him with a red face: "Shut up Lao Tzu!" The military commander has his own plan, how can he wait for the noise? Noisy and noisy, what a system! "The atmosphere in the room is abnormal, in the face of danger, the generals on both sides behave completely differently, how can Li Yanchao not see it?

After speaking, Li Yanchao hugged his fist at Li Congjing and remedied: "Whether to fight or retreat, it is all up to the commander to decide, and Lu Longjun has nothing to say!" ”

Li Congjing was motionless, and did not react to Li Yanchao's words, but did not give Li Yanchao any face. Li Yanchao made a big face, and he was a little embarrassed. The generals of the Lu Long Army saw that the generals of the Hundred Battles Army were all looking at them with slanted eyes, although they were angry, they also knew that Fang Cai was a little uncontrollable, and under the clear distinction between high and low, they couldn't help but be ashamed, and they all closed their mouths for a while.

A pin drop could be heard in the room.

After half a ring, Li Congjing turned around and looked coldly at the generals in the room, the anger in his eyes was clear, and it was obvious that he was really angry. He said in a blunt tone: "If the husband has not fought, how can he dare to say victory?" Without a fight, even if there are 100,000 troops, can they enter the tiger's den in Longtan? Those who can fight well, even though the enemy is ten times greater than mine, will they not dare to fight? You and others are all generals in the army, half a life, accustomed to life and death, when there is a spirit in the chest of tens of millions of people! It is true that the situation is difficult today, but if there are difficulties in front of us, do we have to retreat? ”

Fighting on the battlefield, there is not much difference between Baizhan and Lu Longjun in ordinary times, but in the face of difficulties, the gap is reflected.

Li Congjing continued: "If everyone can do the thing of protecting the border and fighting thieves, then what do we have to do? It is precisely because ordinary people can't do it that we have a place to use. Do what ordinary people can't do, show your heroic nature! ”

At this point, Li Congjing didn't want to say anything more on this topic, waved his hand, and said coldly: "I want to fight here today, so that the barbarians can know that there are heroes in the Tang Dynasty." If you are cowardly, or think that this battle cannot be won, you can retreat south on your own and retreat to Pingzhou, and the commander will be tolerant and will not be held accountable! ”

Obviously, Li Congjing's words were a method of agitation, but even if he knew this, the words fell on Lu Longjun's ears, and they were still extremely harsh. The generals of the Hundred Battles Army have now looked down on Lu Longjun, and when they heard Li Congjing's words, they immediately clasped their fists together and said: "I will swear to follow the army commander to the death, protect the border and fight the thieves, and fight here, so that the Khitan barbarians will know that my sons and daughters in the Central Plains are all heroes!" ”

The soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army are from the Central Plains, because the generals said that "the sons and daughters of the Central Plains are heroes", but it further stimulated Lu Longjun.

There are many bloody men in the army, now that the troubled times are in power and the battles are frequent, who will lack enthusiasm, and who will be willing to be looked down upon? Being so despised by Li Congjing and the generals of the Hundred Battles Army, the generals of the Lu Long Army were all furious and emotional. Li Yanchao took the lead in taking a step, clenched his fists heavily, and almost roared: "Yan Zhao Nan'er, since ancient times, all heroic warriors, I am Youyun Erlang, a man who dares to fight, I will swear to fight to the death with the Khitan!" ”

The generals of Lu Longjun roared in unison: "Swear to fight to the death with the Khitan and never retreat!" ”

First suppressed and then raised, since the generals of Lu Longjun made their positions clear and each of them was eager to fight, Li Congjing's goal was achieved, and he no longer continued to provoke them, stepped forward, supported Li Yanchao, who was bent over and clenched his fists, and said movingly: "If you can get the officers and men of the whole army to work with one heart and one mind, there are 100,000 troops in the Khitan, and I am not afraid, why don't you dare to fight?" ”

The generals of Baizhan and Lu Longjun asked for orders one after another, "Please give the order of the army commander!" ”

It was only a moment before and after, and it was the same request, but the order was different.

At this moment, the fifth girl, who had been ordered to go out, returned and reported to Li Congjing the information found by the military intelligence department, and she said: "Now it is found out that fifty miles east of Yingzhou City, Wanyu Khitan Jingqi suddenly appeared, and it was galloping towards Yingzhou City at full speed!" ”

This news is not shocking, if you heard the news brought back by the fifth girl a moment or two earlier, it is impossible to say that there will be more generals to persuade Li to retreat from Jingnan, but at this time, whether it is the Hundred Battles Army or the generals of the Lu Long Army, they all clenched their fists and said: "Please give the order of the military commander!" ”

Only when the military spirit is united can we fight. Li Congjing then said: "Scout General Sun Erniu, with his disabled body, risked his body, regardless of life and death, went to the enemy camp in person, found out important military information for our army, and did not hesitate to kill Shengren in order to deliver the news, such loyalty and courage made the whole army feel grateful!" Today, in order to protect the territory of the Tang Dynasty, to protect the hundreds of thousands of people in Youyun, to establish the dignity of our Tang Army, and to prove that I am a hero of the Han people, this commander intends to fight with it! ”

"Generals obey orders!"

……

Li Congjing's strategy to break the layout of Yelu's enemy assassination is not complicated, and it can be summed up in four words: divide and attack.

The first thing to deal with is that it is extremely mobile and the most threatening, such as more than 10,000 Khitan elite horsemen who are stuck in their throats. Jerudo has reached his flank, and he can attack the city when he advances, and he can threaten the flank of Yingzhou when he retreats, which is really a big trouble. Without it, the Tang army could not arrange troops freely.

To fight against Jerudo, he had to guard against Jerudo's enemy attacking from the front. Yelu Ruduo appeared on the east side of Yingzhou, which can be seen to be to attack Yelu on both sides, so that when the Tang army and Yelu Rudo fight, Yelu will not stand idly by, but will raise troops at the same time. For this reason, Li Congjing ordered Li Shaocheng to hold the defense line on the south bank of the White Wolf Water. Even if the line of defense could not be held, it would be held out until Jerudo's army was defeated.

Second, how to defeat Jerudo. Yelu Lu has more than 10,000 Khitan elite cavalry, and even if the Tang army meets it with all its might, it is not sure of victory, let alone in the case of dividing troops to stick to the defense line on the south bank of the White Wolf Water? And once the defeat against Yelu Rudo was defeated, Li Shaocheng's defense on the south bank of the White Wolf Water would lose its meaning, and in the end, the Tang army would still be attacked from both sides, thus facing the situation of destruction.

Third, after defeating Yelu Rudo, how the Tang army held the city of Yingzhou and was able to be invincible under the attack of Yelu's enemies. Not to mention defeating Yelu's enemy, it is already a big challenge to be able to defend Yingzhou City.

The third point is a later story, so I don't need to go into detail first, as for how to defeat Jerudo, Li Congjing already has a few calculations in his heart. Otherwise, he would not insist on sticking to Yingzhou and refusing to retreat south, if it weren't for Chengzhu's chest, he would have taken advantage of his temporary will and sent the army into danger, which would have been done by a foolish general.

Yelu Rudo was very close to Yingzhou City, and with the strength of the cavalry, it was only a matter of time before he could run for fifty miles. Without further ado, Li Congjing ordered Guo Wei to lead Junzidu, Meng Ping to lead the Chinese army, and the main force of Lu Longjun's army, bring all the supplies, leave the military camp in the starry night, and go to the east.

Li Congjing is still sitting in Yingzhou City.

In the case that Li Shaocheng led the army to garrison the south bank of the White Wolf Water, and the main forces of Guo Wei, Meng Ping and Lu Longjun faced Yelu Rudo, Yingzhou City at this time was tantamount to an empty city. The garrison in the city is only a few hundred people, Li Congjing, as the defense envoy of Youyun and the commander of the three armies, at this time there are only 100 guards left around him. In addition, Tucheng outside Yingzhou City also has only a small number of troops stationed in it, just to ensure the normal operation of Tucheng.

If there is a partial division at this time and suddenly appears under Yingzhou City, it can take Yingzhou City almost effortlessly, and Li Congjing, who is in it, is even more difficult to escape. However, the Tang Army's battle arrangement, Yelu Enemy Thorn is destined to not be able to know so clearly at the moment, if Yelu Enemy Thorn can know the Tang Army to this extent, for Li Congjing, this battle will not need to be fought.

There are not many Tang troops stationed in Yingzhou City, but inside and outside the city, the large network composed of military intelligence offices and scouts is still running efficiently and strictly.

At the end of the day, the breeze blowing across the Bailang River blew into the city, bringing noise on the river, and Li Congjing knew that the White Wolf Water Offensive and Defensive War had already started at this time.

Today is different from the past, before the Yelu enemy assassination, it was "feint", "training", and "preparation", but today, it is time for the Khitan army on the north bank of the White Wolf River to launch a formal battle to cross the river with all its might. Yelu stabbed the enemy and prepared for a long time, so far he began to "attack from both sides".

Two hours after the White Wolf Water Offensive and Defensive Battle began, the rangers returning from the east brought back the latest military information of Guo Wei, Li Yanchao and others to Li Congjing: the army had entered the predetermined position and had made contact with the Yeluludo Sentinel Rangers. From time to time, the rangers report again: the two armies are at war!

Ding Hei stood aside, and Li Congjing sat alone in the attic, facing the vast and desolate borderland, and boiled a pot of tea.
