Yelu Hongguang led more than 2,000 leather room troops, as well as more than 3,000 palace division troops, and took a small road to go around to the front of the southern barbarians, and set up an ambush in advance.

Li Zhongyi had already dispersed his troops on the place where Yelu Hongguang had to pass, and he was waiting for Yelu Hongguang to lead the troops to chase after him.

About ten miles away from the avenue, in an inconspicuous small village, quite Chaoyong grabbed the water bladder and raised his neck, poured a breath, and then asked the accompanying senator loudly: "Have all the Khitan dogs arrived?" ”

The accompanying senator reported to him: "If you return to the commander, the advance of the Khitans has passed, but the main force has not yet been seen. ”

quite Chaoyong stomped his feet fiercely, and scolded and said: "Damn Khitan dog, it's going to be too early, but pull it down, so as not to worry Lao Tzu." ”

Since following Li Zhongyi, quite Chaoyong has been silently thinking about setting up a great miracle to contribute to the throne of the party king in the future.

That's right, quite Chaoyong's dream in this life is to be able to become the king of the party one day. At that time, he would like to see if the Tuoba family, who used to show off his might, dare not kneel in front of his horse and call grandpa?

Betrayed Li Zhongyi and established himself as king?

cough, quite Chaoyong didn't dare to have such a stupid idea at all, unless Li Zhongyi was young, he would fall forever!

As a general of a foreign race, Li Zhongyi not only did not have the slightest dislike, but repeatedly reused it, which really moved Po Chaoyong very much.

In the Li family's army, due to the principle of building the army on the basis of the pacification of the army, the military generals at all levels did not have financial power, and the possibility of rebellion was almost zero.

Quite Chaoyong turned his head to look at Yao Tie, the base camp who had been sitting quietly in Mazha to read the military newspaper, blinked and asked him: "Old Yao, do you think the Khitans will be fooled?" ”

Yao Tie didn't look up. said lightly: "Come or not, we all have to bear the heavy responsibility of pursuit." ”

Alas, this is the Nth time, no matter when Yao Tie speaks, he has learned enough of Li Zhongyi's posture, and he is not in a hurry. It's so sensible that it feels like a lot of pressure.

According to the military regulations of the Li family, military generals command operations in accordance with military orders, and the pacification at the same level is not allowed to interfere without authorization.

However, when the order of the commander of Po Chaoyong exceeded the scope of the military order issued from above, Yao Tie had the obligation to correct it as soon as possible.

Don't look at the three thousand elite party cavalry in his hands, but the tooth soldiers and generals who are responsible for guarding within a hundred zhang nearby are all henchmen and warriors brought by Yao Tie.

As long as the leader is outside. Even if he is quite brave and holds three thousand party iron horses, his own personal safety is in Yao Tie's control.

Assuming that he is quite brave and has a different heart, it is easy for Yao Tie to capture him.

After a short period of time, the sentry came to report, "The main force of the Khitans has arrived." ”

Quite Chaoyong couldn't help but feel refreshed when he heard this. He rubbed his hands together happily and exclaimed in a strange voice, "He's damn drip." It's finally here. ”

Yao Tie and Po Chaoyong have been partners for more than a day, and he naturally knows very well in his heart that Po Chaoyong is an ambitious alien and broken nobleman.

To this day, Yao Tie always remembers that when he was in the current situation class, Li Zhongyi once said: Human nature is selfish. Ambition is what drives society forward or backward.

Regarding Quite Chaoyong's ambitions, Yao Tie just took a cold look-by attitude, as long as Quite Chaoyong didn't play out of bounds, Yao Tie didn't bother to care about him.

There is just one thing, the real power subordinates who are quite brave and want to promote. Yao Tie will conduct the strictest assessment in accordance with military regulations.

The whole army of the Li family army has the same rules: the right to nominate belongs to Quite Chaoyong, but the right to inspect and appoint and dismiss is in the hands of Yao Tie.

In addition, the logistical baggage of all units is under the jurisdiction of the suppression, and the generals leading the troops are not allowed to interfere.

In this way, it is impossible for Chaoyong to fully grasp the three powers of people, money, and materials, so where is the basis for rebellion?

Quite Chaoyong was not a timid person, he looked at Yao Tie intently, and said loudly: "Let's go ahead and have a look?" ”

Yao Tie's eyes flashed slightly, and many years of experience in working together told him that he was afraid that he was only afraid that he wanted to take the opportunity to make a military merit after finding out the enemy's situation?

Military merits, Yao Tie actually needs it. It's just that between military merit and risk, Yao Tie needs to make an overall trade-off.

According to military regulations, the normal implementation of military orders, and the command of operations are under the sole responsibility of Po Chaoyong, and Yao Tie is not allowed to interfere arbitrarily. However, due to the rapid changes in the military situation, Li Zhongyi did not mechanically leave a small opening to adapt to the situation: in the face of a special military situation, it was too late to report to his superiors, and the suppression was the final decision-maker.

In the past few years of working with Yao Tie, although the two of them have had a lot of differences, they only maintain a harmonious relationship on the surface, but the two have one thing in common: they both need to do a career and strive to get more room to play as soon as possible.

In the Li family's army, there are no scribes who do not understand military affairs, and the so-called military and political excellence makes the assessment standards of the pacification much higher than that of pure military commanders.

Yao Tie smiled and said, "Since you said so, let's go check it out closely?" ”

Quite Chaoyong was overjoyed when he heard this, rubbed his hands and said: "Those who know me, Lao Yao is also!" ”

Yao Tie just smiled, but did not answer, Li Xiangshuai once said: Strategically despise the enemy, tactically we must be more detailed, and there is no room for the slightest negligence.

With the heavy rainstorm weather as a natural cover, the soldiers of the Zhejia Army, carrying the military flag that originally belonged to the Li Family Army, swaggered to the north.

Li Zhongyi, wearing a felt hat and a felt coat, squatted behind a big rock, holding a monocular, and silently observed the Khitan cavalry sentries coming and going on the trail.

Zhi Congruan, who handed over the army to Zhi Yunshui, was also dressed like Li Zhongyi, and he was also holding a telescope in his hand. On the muddy road, a Khitan cavalryman, while controlling the horse and galloping, wiped the rain from his face, and looked a little embarrassed.

When Zhi Congruan saw this situation, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and immediately made up his mind, such a good baby, he must get a batch when he goes back.

Fold from Ruan's continuous adjustment of the angle of the monocular in his hand, and after careful observation, he made another astonishing discovery: the officers and soldiers of the Li family who were lying in ambush around were covered with green leaves on their felt coats and felt hats.

If it weren't for the help of the telescope, he would have asked himself in the vast rainstorm. It is difficult to spot the officers and soldiers in ambush with the naked eye alone.

This Li is not to blame, and there are many ghosts in his life. Zhi Congruan's mentality has always been very upright and peaceful, and in this battle, he is a careless spectator.

How to arrange the troops is Li Zhongyi's responsibility. Zhe Congruan just watched the excitement, looked at the freshness, and kept in mind the new things that the old Zhe family also needed, and then looked for Li Zhongyi to fight the autumn wind after the battle was over.

In the pouring rain, Yelu Hongguang received the latest military information from the outpost ahead: the southern barbarians were rushing north in the rain, and obviously did not find that our army had followed.

Yelu Hongguang felt very strange, with his many years of combat experience, the army was hurrying away. No matter what, you have to meet the soldiers who have fallen behind the enemy.

Now, Yelu Hongguang not only did not see any soldiers who had fallen behind by the Southern Barbarians, but he also did not even see any trace of the sentry, which was very suspicious.

Yelu Hongguang was about to give the order to stop the advance, but received bad news: the second group of sentinels sent out had an encounter with the Southern Barbarians, and all of them died.

At this moment, Yelu Hongguang immediately became excited. Now that it has been encountered, it means that its whereabouts are about to be completely exposed. It's better to drive straight into the past and chase the past.

Yelu Hongguang thought very clearly, in such bad weather, the southern barbarians were not only unable to shoot arrows, but also difficult to attack with fire, with the huge impact of the cavalry troops. The horses of the southern barbarians are in the army, and they can only suffer a big loss and have blood luck.

Therefore, Yelu Hongguang did not hesitate to order, pursue with all his strength, and be sure to annihilate the southern barbarians in front.

Soon. In Li Zhongyi's monoculars, a large group of Khitan iron horsemen appeared.

At this time, Zhi Congruan reminded in a low voice: "No blame, do you want to notify Yunshui that they come back?" ”

Li Zhongyi wiped the rain from his face, leaned into Zhecongruan's ear, and whispered, "Ancestor Yue is worried that our army won't be able to eat the Khitans, right?" You can wait for the good news with peace of mind, a certain family has prepared a big meal for the Khitans, and they will definitely not come back. ”

Although the sky was getting brighter, the road was slippery in rainy days, and even if Yelu Hongguang ordered to advance at full speed, the marching speed of the Khitan cavalry troops was still much slower than when the sky was fine, and from time to time someone with men and horses fell between the field stalks.

"It's better to be on the prairie." As soon as Yelu Hongguang finished expressing this emotion, he heard a loud and strange bamboo whistle, "Didi Di ......"

The sentinel of the rear team came to report that the Khitans had all entered the ambush circle, Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, and immediately ordered: "You can start." ”

Under the gaze of Zhe Congruan, after the chief herald repeated the commander's order, he raised the brass trumpet in his hand without hesitation and blew a passionate high note, "Didi Da......"

"All on the steel strings!" Amid the loud shouts of the officers, Zhe Congruan looked through the telescope and was surprised to find that the crossbowmen of the Li Jiajun took out the steel strings in their backpacks extremely quickly and put them on the bows or crossbows.

"Three-stage strike, put!" With the issuance of Li Zhongyi's military order, Zhi Congruan only felt that the originally bright sky in front of him suddenly became pitch black, and the sharp blade of the "swishing ......" strong bow and crossbow, with the supreme magic power of chasing souls, viciously plunged into the ranks of the Khitan cavalry.

"Ah, there's an ambush ......"

"Ah, my eyes ......"

"Uh, it hurts......"

In the cavalry ranks of the Khitans, the screams, wails, and the screams of the horses after being severely damaged came and went.

"Grenadier ready, fierce fire two, ready, put!" With the short but powerful orders of the officers, Zhi Congruan was surprised to find that not far in front of him, rows of soldiers, in groups of five, set up a simple bamboo catapult device, threw a small clay pot into the air, and smashed it into the chaotic crowd of contracts.

In the twilight of the sky, the monocular folded in Ruan's hand actually helped him see a very strange scene: these small clay pots, obviously extremely thin and brittle, whether they hit people or fell to the ground, "Bang." "The response was shattered.

On the waterlogged road, in the field stalks, a large black oil slick immediately floated up, spilling everywhere.

Just when Zhi Congruan hadn't fully understood what was going on, Li Zhongyi's next military order had already reached his ears, "The cocktail given by the devil, the Khitan people must like it very much, hehe, pass on my order, light the cocktail, and burn the fuck." (To be continued.) )
