When Li Congjing led the Datong army to leave Shengzhou, the army was majestic and orderly, the momentum was impressive, the team of 5,000 people was neatly armored, and the heavy grain and grass and other things that accompanied the army were piled up like a mountain, and they were lined up together as if they were a long dragon, and there was no end in sight. After two days of repair, everyone in the Datong army was full of food and drink, enough to sleep, full of spirit, and full of fighting spirit, this scene was very different from the appearance when they first arrived in Shengzhou.

Li Congjing knew that his subordinates' move to conquer Shengzhou must have been known to Yelu Enemy Lie, but Yelu Enemy Lie may not have expected that they would dare to abandon Shengzhou City and go east to find trouble for him. Therefore, after leaving the city, Li Congjing ordered the Datong army to march at full speed, in order to complete the eastward aid march with lightning speed and not be blocked by the Khitan army.

"General Li, I'm waiting for this aid to Sangganguan, how can this battle be fought?" On the march, Zhang Daqian asked.

Li Congjing said: "In this battle, we are waiting for the enemy to appear behind Yelu, and the initiative is in my hands. ”

"Dare to ask General Li, what is the simplest and most labor-saving tactic that can achieve the most practical results?" Zhang Daqian then asked.

Li Congjing's horsewhip pointed forward and said, "Being able to keep the Sang Kang Pass is the most practical effect." Here we are the lord and Yelu Lie is a guest, and his away battle is to support the war with conspiracy, seeking to conceal the approach, to break through the pass quickly, so he can not bring too many troops this time, and once the Yelu enemy is attacked by the enemy, can not turn the intention of quick results into reality, he lost the goal of this campaign, can only lead the army to retreat. ”

Zhang Daqian agreed, this is indeed a fact, and Li Congjing explained that the strategic purpose of their battle was not to forcibly defeat the Yelu enemy's army, but only to contain the Yelu enemy's army. On the other hand, the Datong army, after a few days of blocking battles and siege battles, although they have achieved great victories, but the losses are not small, and the 800 new soldiers who have been replenished are just a pawn army, and the veterans of the Datong army are their generals at all levels to restrain and regulate their actions. It is okay to let them wave their flags and shout and make a strong voice, but it is unrealistic to ask them to rush into battle and kill the enemy, except for fighting with the wind. The defenders of the Sang Kam Pass, after days of hard fighting, can keep the border pass without losing must have been exhausted, at this time it is not easy to hold the Sangkan Pass, and then they have to go out of the pass with a mere number of hundreds of people to attack the enemy, it is very likely to be caught by the Khitan army. Therefore, if you choose the former, this battle will not be easy to fight.

After saying this, Li Congjing finally concluded: "Therefore, we only need to line up the Khitan army, they will attack me, and they will retreat and I will defend, thinking that it is a deterrent." In this battle, it is not about defeating the enemy, but about exhausting the enemy, and delaying time. ”

After Zhang Daqian and others understood Li Congjing's meaning, they all recognized his move, and Zhang Daqian smiled happily: "Before, it was all barbarians who followed me and waited for the buttocks, chasing me and others, and let me wait for a moment without stopping, desperately chasing cattle and horses, and the pain was extreme." Now, we have finally stopped, and we don't have to worry about the time crunch, but we can delay the time leisurely, which is a pleasant thing. Now that the old thief of Yelu Dilie is burning his ass, to suffer this, it's really pleasant to think about it! ”

When the generals heard this, they all laughed, obviously they all got a lot of pleasure from this conversion of "thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi". As the creator of this transformation, Li Congjing also felt refreshed, even more happy than the generals, but over the years he was used to being moody and invisible, and there was no reaction on the surface. Seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the Datong Army thought that Li Congjing looked down on this little thing, and disdained to be happy because of it, so they felt that Li Congjing was really different from them, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, General Li is very human, so calm and introverted at such a young age, over time, he will definitely achieve a great feat that ordinary people can't reach!

From Shengzhou to Sangkan Pass, less than 200 miles away, Li Congjing led the Datong army, it took less than three days to finish, in the field of vision of the Khitan army appeared again, when Sangqing Pass appeared, whether it was Li Congjing or other Datong army soldiers, all felt a burst of blood.

They are male divisions, they are in the siege of several times the enemy, a hundred miles of battle, will be the speed of the Khitan elite cavalry far behind, in the face of the waves of the Yellow River, in the face of the enemy deep into the enemy's isolated helpless, they in an incredible attitude, under the nose of the Yelu enemy under the nose of the Shengzhou City that has just been conquered by him personally! Now, these 4,000 Datong troops, after a few days of fighting, in the situation of a strong enemy, defeated the Khitan proud, invincible elite cavalry on the grassland in the first battle, and attacked and captured Shengzhou City effortlessly in World War II, such an achievement is enough to make them proudly puff up their chests, step into this battlefield, and announce to the enemy and friendly troops in front of them that they are back!

When Li Congjing led the soldiers of the Datong Army to appear behind the Khitan army, the Khitan army was under the personal supervision of Yelu Enemy Lie, and attacked fiercely towards Sangqing Pass. Before the Khitan army noticed the Datong army that appeared in the field of vision, Li Congjing knew the situation on the battlefield through the scouts, so when Yelu Enemy Lie learned that an army had appeared behind him, and the other party was the Datong army, Li Congjing had already led the army to charge the Khitan army array.

After learning that the Datong army had conquered Shengzhou, Yelu Enemy Lie immediately transferred back to his son Yelu Bona, and at the same time sent a large number of rangers to closely monitor the movements of the Datong army in Shengzhou City. It was this time that Li Congjing led the army back to the aid of Sangganguan, and Yelu Enemy Lie knew about it earlier.

Yelu retracted his gaze at Sangka, and turned to the west.

Yelu's plan and layout to take the Sang Kang Pass is a conspiracy and calculation, although there is also a conspiracy as an auxiliary, but the essence and subject are undoubtedly conspiracy. Where there is a conspiracy, there are flaws, and no matter how clever the conspiracy is, it is possible to break it.

But Li Congjing is different, he returned to the aid of Sangganguan this time, went straight with the army, and confronted Yelu with a dignified array and a dignified method, and walked completely on the road of Yangmou. In this scheming, there are skills and layouts, but every part of it is dignified, so it has no flaws. If there is no flaw, you will not be caught by the opponent at one point, and thus the whole body will be defeated. The only way to defeat the righteous path with no flaws is to defeat it head-on with absolute strength.

Can Yelu Enemy Lie defeat Li Congjing and the Datong army head-on with absolute superiority? It's hard to say. However, as for how to deal with Li Congjing, Yelu Enemy Lie had a plan in his heart.

Coupled with Yelubona, who had recently returned to the army, the Khitan army arrayed outside Sangjia Pass exceeded 15,000 people, which was due to the fact that Ying Tianjun had lost two consecutive games at the hands of Li Congjing and lost some men. In these two battles, first, the Ma army was defeated by Li Congjing as a stick, and then drove the defeated Ma army and attacked the follow-up army that came to support, causing chaos in the whole army and causing the Ying Tian army to suffer a lot of losses. Otherwise, the Khitan military array could be larger at this time.

With so many Khitan troops, arrayed outside the Sangjia Pass, the formation alone is enough to scare people to death, but why is it that in the face of the Sangqing Pass, which is only garrisoned by a thousand people, Yelu Enemy Lie can't attack it for a long time? There is indeed a reason why Qin Shide did not hesitate to be seriously injured, personally commanded and inspired the soldiers of the whole army, and the soldiers of the defenders of Sangqing Pass all fought to the death, but the most important thing is that the terrain of Sangqing Pass is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the contact surface left for foreign enemies to attack the city is too small.

As a result, although the Khitan had 10,000 troops, there were only a few hundred people who were really fighting against the Tang army, and even fewer of them could meet the defenders of Sangganguan. Only in this way can Qin Shide defend the border pass, otherwise he would have been martyred a long time ago.

There are 1,000 people, boundless, and more than 10,000 people, grounded to the sky. When Li Congjing led the soldiers of the Datong Army to appear in front of the Sangqian Pass, he was surrounded by dense Khitan soldiers' walls, which were really like a vast forest, not to mention looking at the overall situation, once they blended into the crowd, they couldn't even distinguish the direction.

And the Datong army, even in the face of such a human city, rushed headlong into it.

Yelu Enemy Lie stood high on the watchtower, bowed his head slightly, and coldly looked at the soldiers of the Datong Army who were rolling up and rushing to the back of the military formation, and the other party's fearless and indomitable military formation fell in the eyes of Yelu Enemy Lie, making his eyes swell with wisps of cold murderous aura, and the indifference in his eyes made him look at the other party as if he were looking at a dead person.

Today's Khitan, because of the system of the north and south courts, the status of Han officials and scribes has been greatly improved, and the same as the Central Plains, Khitan nobles and generals are also popular to raise scholars, store guests, as their own minions, and serve them privately. As the king of the North Courtyard, Yelu Dilie is in a high position, and he also has countless disciples under his command, and the one who follows him at this time is his mastermind, Han Zhongxi.

Han Zhongxi is dressed as a standard Han scholar, with a long shirt and a square scarf, and a doctor's beard, with an elegant appearance.

Indifferently watching Li Congjing lead the Datong army to approach, Han Zhongxi showed a meaningful shallow smile, bowed his hand slightly to Yelu Enemy Lie, and said: "Congratulations to the king, Li Congjing has entered your urn, and he is not far from death!" ”

Everything is under control, but Yelu Dilie deliberately became humble, his tone was indifferent, but full of confidence, "The Datong army is still one step away from death, it is too early to be happy." ”

Han Zhongxi was unmoved, he firmly insisted on his opinion, he put away the feather fan, and said seriously: "This time, the king used a trick to deceive Qin Shide and the Datong army out of the Great Wall, and then personally led the army to the east, attacked Sangjia Pass, and planned the layout seamlessly. Li Congjing is hateful, but his hatefulness does not stop here, the day before yesterday he led the remnants of the Datong army to retreat to the southwest, and captured Shengzhou in an instant, which is what makes my army the most jealous. With Li Congjing in Shengzhou, why is it like a mang? If Li Congjing sent an army from Shengzhou to this point, with 5,000 elites, living behind the formation, and eyeing the enemy, then he could attack our army behind the formation, so that we could not hold the pass with peace of mind, and retreat could boost the morale of the defenders of Sangjia Pass, and think it was invoked. If Li Congjing really acts like this, our situation will be critical. ”

Han Zhongxi shook his head, but the more he talked, the more energetic he became, he continued: "Conquering the Sangqing Pass, this is the foundation of our trip, but how to detain the pass for a few days, although the progress is not small, but the Xiongguan is still in the hands of the Tang army, I can't help it, seeing that this pass cannot be lowered, and Li Congjing is behind, in front of our army, there is only one way to retreat." However, Li Congjing's young heart is in the end, so far, he does not set up a position to defend it, and seeing that I am in a hurry to tackle the problem, he wants to come to explore the reality of our army's formation, but he does not know that in order to slaughter Li Congjing, the milk tiger, the king has already planned. It's good that Li Congjing doesn't take the battle, but once he takes the battle, he will fall into the trap arranged by the big net, only death, no life! ”

"And once Li Congjing dies and the Datong army is defeated, how many days can Qin Shide support? Sang Kang Pass, you can go down every day! ”
