Yelu Enemy Lugu couldn't accept such a reality, and said urgently with a red neck: "Attacking the Beikou Pass is the inherent choice of the king to break through the Tang army's defense line, how can he give up lightly? Moreover, among the armies of the eight Khitan divisions, in the case of heavy losses in the heart of the heart because of the wolf's tooth army, only the Si Jinbu has the strongest combat strength!"

"Among the 500,000 forbidden troops transferred north by the Tang Army, 200,000 troops were stationed in the direction of Pingzhou, Yuguan, and Juyongguan, and only Beikou was only the Tiger Guard!

He was excited.

It is not surprising that Yelu Abaoji has such an opinion about Yelu enemy Lugu.

Because it's true.

However, Yelu Abao had the opportunity to give such an order, and naturally there was a reason for him.

He looked at Yelu's enemy Lugu and asked: "In terms of military strength, Beikou is indeed the weakness of the Tang army, but let me ask you, with the elite of the near division, attacking Beikou in the near moon, is there a sign that half a point can capture Guancheng?"

"You don't have to argue, you and I know what the combat power of the division is. The reason why the situation has become like this, in the final analysis, is that the trend of strength and weakness has changed. Because of the existence of that group of Confucian scholars, Beikou was no longer a weak area for the Tang army's defense, but became an impregnable existence. ”

Yelu Rugu opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Yelu Abaoji waving his hand.

The latter continued: "As far as I know, it was the Yangzhou Confucian sect that appeared at the north entrance, and they had a total of 3,000 disciples. How many Confucian students have you killed in the past month? That's just a few hundred. But it has already made so many Confucian killing gods appear in the city.

"In another year and a half, you may be able to kill more than 2,000 Confucian students, but if the number of Confucian gods killed at the head of the city reaches more than 200, the city will still be impregnable. What's the point of a fight like that?"

Jerod Rugu could no longer speak.

He had nothing to say but plead to fight to the death.

Now that even a death battle can't work, so he can only accept Yelu Abaoji's arrangement.

After a long sound, Yelu Enemy Lugu reluctantly said: "King, we have launched an attack on the Tang Dynasty for nearly three months, in addition to destroying the Wolf Tooth Army in Yunzhou, although we have also won some border states and counties and small Sai one after another, but there are no big results.

"The eastern and western soldiers have been blocked from Yuguan and Juyong Pass, and they have not been able to attack for a long time. Now, if we abandon the North Exit, where will we go to find fighters?"

When he said this, he was worried.

It has been three months since the war was launched, and in addition to the loss of more than 60,000 elite cavalry of the Wolf Tooth Army, the results of the battle have been small fights, and the situation has not been opened so far, and the situation has been developing in a bad direction.

Attacking Xiongguan, the Khitan army suffered a lot of losses, and if it can't capture Xiongguan for a long time, the morale of the army will be weakened, and the future battles will only be more difficult to fight.

Three months ago, when the Khitan army marched south, the officers and men of the three armies were highly motivated by taking advantage of the excellent situation of attacking Tang Dynasty all over the world. At that time, the Khitan soldiers would never have thought that after three months, they would not even be able to see Youzhou City.

And at the moment, Yelu Abaoji and Yelu Enemy Lugu personally led the elite to attack the Beikou, which was only 100,000 Chang'an forbidden troops and some border troops guarded, but they could not be overcome.

If you can't find a turnaround in time, I'm afraid that this southern expedition launched by the Khitan will end hastily.

Yelu Abaoji saw the worries of Yelu Rugu.

Although his face was also very solemn, it was all for Yelu's enemy Lugu to see, so that in the next battle, the other party could bravely move forward and forget his death.

In his heart, Yelu Abaoji is very calm and confident.

Self-confidence does not come out of thin air, it must have roots and a solid foundation, otherwise it is ignorance and arrogance.

Yelu Abaoji had a plan.

He said in a deep voice: "Let's go to Yuguan." ”

"Yuguan?"

"Yes, the season has begun to enter summer, and it is time to break through the Chongqing Pass. ”

"How to break through the Chongqing Pass?"

"You continue to storm the North Exit, making a life-and-death stance. Three days later, the army will be led eastward. I'll make my own arrangements then. ”

......

Li Maozhen received an urgent military report from Zhao Bingkun, saying that the Khitan army outside Beikou had gone crazy in the past two days, and every round of attacks had an undying momentum, and they began to fight day and night, twelve hours without stopping.

The defenders suffered more casualties and needed reinforcements.

Yelu Abaoji and Si Jinbu are both outside the Beikou Pass, which Li Maozhen knows. Faced with such a situation, Mo said that it was natural to send all the troops of the Tiger Guard, even if it was to give another 100,000 forbidden troops.

At the beginning of the war, Yelu Abaoji never appeared, and there was no war in Beikou, so it is conceivable that there was a conspiracy here. Fortunately, the Beikou scouts discovered their whereabouts, revealing their intentions to have thoughts about Beikou, and Yelu Abaoji had to turn the surprise attack into a strong attack.

If not, with the little strength in Beikou before, I am afraid that it has been taken by Yelu Abaoji.

Where Yelu Abaoji is there, it is naturally the main attack direction of the Khitan army, there is no doubt about this.

In the past month, the fighting in Beikou has been fierce, and the proportion of casualties among soldiers is much higher than that of Yuguan and Juyongguan. If it weren't for the fact that there were enough magic weapons in the Tiger Guard, and the Confucian Sect of Yangzhou continued to dispatch people to help, and the unimaginable strength erupted, the battle situation would not have been as stable as it is now.

"The defenders of Beikou are still too few, there will be no problems in the short term, if the war continues, with the fierce momentum shown by the Khitans, the existing defenders are only afraid that they will not be able to withstand attrition. ”

When the counselor was on the military plane, Lu Longjiedu envoy Liu Rengong put forward his views to Li Maozhen.

Li Maozhen frowned: "Where can the army be drawn?"

Liu Rengong thought for a while and said, "Yuguan." Now that it is about to enter summer, Yuguan has abundant rain in summer, and as long as it rains heavily, Yushui will become an obstacle to the Khitan army's actions. In this way, some of the soldiers guarding the customs can be transferred. ”

As Lu Long's envoy, Liu Rengong naturally knows the geography of the mountains and rivers under Lu Long's jurisdiction.

Li Maozhen groaned.

If Datang was not attacked from several sides now, she would have enough troops to mobilize, and she would not have to risk the defenders of Yuguan at all.

However, the situation is like this, and it is useless to think too much, so she can only find a better way to deal with the situation in front of her as much as possible.

......

When Yelu Abao's plane arrived at Yuguan, the siege was still going on.

It's just that after the war lasted for three months, in the face of Xiongguan, which had no hope of conquering, the morale of the Khitan soldiers inevitably declined, and the offensive had lost the previous style of ferocious explosion, everyone competing for the first, and not afraid of death.

At least, Yelu Abaoji watched for two hours in front of the battlefield, and he didn't see any Khitan soldiers holding Tang Jun and taking the initiative to fall down from the juncture. A round of attacks is often unsustained after paying the price of hundreds of casualties, and can only be retreated.

The previous ferocious attack, let's not take Yuguan, according to this offensive situation, I am afraid that we will never be able to conquer Guancheng.

Yelu Abaoji came to Yuguan to hide his whereabouts, so the Khitan soldiers didn't know that he was standing on the edge of the battlefield, otherwise the situation might be better.

Yelu Abaoji did not mean to reveal his whereabouts, and after carefully observing the battle and the city defense, he asked the commander Yelu to give an order to rest for three days from tomorrow.

When the martyr received the order, although he wanted to speak and stopped, he did not really say anything different. He himself knew that if such an offensive continued, it would not have any effect.

But if Yelu Abaoji is willing to supervise the battle, the situation will definitely be very different.

However, since Yelu Abaoji ordered a rest, he thinks he has a reason, but in this way, the fact that the army is weak will be exposed, and the morale of the Tang army in Yuguan will be greatly improved.

Yelu Abaoji saw the heart of Yelu Enemy, and said lightly: "Don't worry about the Tang Army looking down on us, I just want to show the enemy weakness, only in this way will the Tang Army think that Yuguan is unbreakable." Wait, if the army attacks the city again in three days, it will find that there are many fewer Tang troops guarding the pass. ”

An impregnable fortress doesn't need too many defenders.

After Yelu's enemy Lugu frantically attacked Beikou, and the Khitan army outside Yuguan showed no threat, Yelu Abaoji believed that Li Maozhen would dispatch the Tang army here to support Beikou.

After all, the banner of Yelu Abaoji is still there.

In the case that the Confucian disciples of Yangzhou continued to be attracted to Beikou, once the original defenders of Yuguan were transferred a large number of them, Yelu Abaoji did not think that there was anything else here that could stop him.

The only thing that the Tang army in Yuguan could rely on, except for Xiongguan, was only in this war that the magic weapon strong bow and crossbow that appeared and were used on a large scale. Yelu Abaoji carefully observed the situation of the war and knew that although the magic weapon strong bow and crossbow were extremely powerful, the number was not too many at present.

When the Yankou was in Yunzhou, the kind of magic weapon used by the Wolf Tooth Army was only 5,000 in total. And the Wolf Tooth Army is still the Chang'an Forbidden Army, and the army that currently has the greatest benefit from the magic weapon bow and crossbow - Shangguan Allure has coerced Peng Zushan into the military camp before the city.

In other Chang'an forbidden armies, because the number of magic weapons and crossbows is not large, and only when defending the city, can they play a good role, once they lose the city pass as a support, the magic weapon bow and crossbow are not enough to influence the situation of the battle.

Because of this, Yelu Abaoji now feels very lucky.

Fortunately, he launched the battle against Tang early enough.

If it is a little later, not only will the national strength of the Tang Dynasty be improved a lot, but those deadly magic weapons bows and crossbows, once they are equipped with the forbidden army on a large scale, they will become a nightmare for the Khitan army.

Yelu Abaoji didn't know how the Tang people developed this kind of battlefield weapon, and he cursed the injustice of God.

But from the bottom of his heart, he didn't find this unacceptable. After all, the armament level of the Tang Army has always been at the top of all nations, and it is difficult for other countries to match it.

In a word, the war in front of him is the last chance for the Khitan to defeat the Tang Dynasty.

Staring at the head of Yuguan City, Yelu Abaoji's face was as pale as iron.
