Guo Wei and Li Yanchao, who went east to meet Yelu Rudo, took away the absolute main force of the Tang army at present, and Li Shaocheng, who was sticking to the south bank of the White Wolf Water, occupied almost all of the remaining combat power of the Tang army, and Li Congjing, who sat quietly in the attic, was quite alone at this time. The good news is that today Li Congjing does not need to use hundreds of people in Yingzhou City to stab Yelu's enemy and sing an empty city plan.

The battlefield of Guo Wei and others is dozens of miles away, and it is a big battle of nearly 20,000 people, and the momentum is huge, but it is impossible to reach Yingzhou City. In contrast, the battle on the south bank of the White Wolf Water is close at hand, the sound of the battle can be heard clearly, and from Li Congjing's point of view, it can be seen that thousands of Khitan soldiers are riding hundreds of well-built wooden boats, swinging on the river, charging forward.

The officers and men of the Tang Army on the south bank, after being distributed in various fortifications, under the command of their respective generals, intensively manipulated the killing weapons in front of them, and poured boulders, crossbow arrows, and iron arrows on the Khitan soldiers on the river. The rockets kept cutting through the sky, dense like locusts, and pounced on the Khitan troop carriers on the river. In the spray of boulders, rockets continued to be nailed into the hull, and in an instant, they accumulated into a large number, igniting a fire, and the river immediately became thick with smoke.

On the battlefield, especially on the battlefield with a scale of more than 10,000 people, human life is a rapid expendable.

Although he watched from a distance, he did not come to the front line to fight, Ding Hei couldn't help but boil his blood, he stared at the river intently, and the hands behind him were clenched into fists, sticking to the handle of the knife behind his back.

There were no attendants around the two, only the guards of the Junzidu and the Military Intelligence Department stood on the side, and after the water and fish in the tea kettle boiled, Li Congjing poured the tea into it and personally controlled the fire.

After a while, the fragrance was overflowing, and Li Congjing, who looked right, poured the boiled tea into the tea bowl, divided one of the bowls, pushed it to the other side of the small table, and motioned for Ding Hei to sit down, "Look at my skills." ”

It was difficult to absorb Li Congjing's indifference at the moment, Ding Hei paused, did not sit down in front of the small table, but bent down to pick up the tea bowl, took a sip, never thought about it, the tea party entered the throat, Ding Hei's face was a little weird, put down the tea bowl, and said honestly in Li Congjing's expectant eyes: "The military marshal is good at fighting on the battlefield, and few people can match the ability to arrange troops, but the kung fu of making tea is not comparable to the 'military marshal' cow and horse in the tea." ”

Li Congjing shook his head and smiled helplessly: "You guy, I really don't know what a good student is talking about." Take a sip of tea and look at yourself.

Putting down the tea bowl, seeing Ding Hei looking at the tea bowl in front of him with an embarrassed expression, Li Congjing couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "It is really embarrassing for you to say flattering words against your will, and it is not your true nature, no matter what, you don't have to finish this bowl of tea, I am not so harsh as to make it difficult for you to be reluctant to do such a trivial matter." ”

Ding Hei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists and said, "Xie Junshuai!" ”

Li Congjing: "......"

Realizing that his words and deeds were too direct and hurtful, Ding Hei diverted the topic, looked at the battlefield on the riverbank, and said, "Can Deputy Marshal Li stop Yelu's enemy from stabbing 20,000 troops?" ”

Li Congjing said while drinking tea: "Although there are 20,000 troops under the command of Yelu's enemy, he let the Khitan barbarians cross the river and fight, so he sacrificed his strengths and shortcomings, even though he has improved the structure of the wooden boat in the past few days and improved the combat power of the Khitan barbarians to carry out the battle of crossing the river, but it cannot fundamentally change the status quo that the Khitan is not good at water warfare. Moreover, our army has been deployed on the south bank for a long time, both the fortifications and the preparations are much more sufficient, although the disparity in strength is huge, but it is still possible for Li Shaocheng to resist the Yelu enemy for a while. Yelu's enemy crossed the river, not so much as a force battle, but to attract the idea of our department, and to create conditions for Yeluludo's 'surprise attack'. ”

Ding Hei is not a general in the army, and he doesn't know much about military affairs, so he felt that Li Congjing's words were reasonable, so he believed them.

On the bank of the White Wolf River, Li Shaocheng was certainly busy directing the battle, where the Khitan River Crossing Army was fierce and had the momentum to break through the defense line, he dispatched troops and let the Tang Army take care of it and curb its offensive momentum.

"The Tang army's defense is stubborn, our army is attacking with all its might, and it is still unable to break through its defense line for a while and a half. Jerod was stabbed beside him, and a general said to him.

Yelu was silent, and said lightly: "Although our army continued to attack before, it retained a lot of combat power, and the investment of ships and troops was not much. But Li Congjing's yellow-toothed child is obviously not easy to match, and Ben Shuai is controlling his combat power, and so is he. Two days ago, I was surprised to see that the Tang army's defense line was strong and abnormal, and I never thought that Li Congjing had also hidden part of the strength of the Tang army. ”

When Yelu Enemy Assassin said this, he frowned slightly, as if he sighed a little, "Li Congjing is only at the age of crowning, and he is so experienced in using soldiers, not weaker than the veteran of Rongma for decades, what a miracle!" ”

The general next to him worried: "The situation is like this, it is not easy to win!" ”

Yelu Enemy Assassin glanced at the general, snorted coldly, and said: "This commander has been preparing for today's decisive battle for a long time, and the layout has been for a long time, even if Li Congjing has some ability and the Tang army is brave and capable of fighting, then I have tens of thousands of Khitan warriors, and under the full force of each other, there is no reason to be invincible!" What he didn't say clearly was that with him Yelu Enemy Thorn personally in command, could he not help a stinky boy?

Yelu's assassination words were sure and domineering, but the general beside him did not follow his words, and his face was not worried, "Yesterday, the rangers bumped into the Tang army scouts outside the camp, although they were discovered early, and the Tang army scouts were all annihilated under the full pursuit of the rangers. However, we don't know if any of the Tang Army scouts escaped the pursuit and fled back to the south bank. And because this group of Tang army scouts all fought to death and were unwilling to surrender, we didn't even catch a single live mouth, so I don't know what news the Tang army scouts have discovered. If General Rudo's deeds are revealed, I am afraid that the arrangement of our army will be in vain! ”

This is the truth, but this worry fell on Yelu's enemy, obviously without any weight, he waved his hand, and said disdainfully: "The Tang army scout is just lucky to lurk outside the camp, what can you see?" Even if Li Congjing knew that there were 10,000 people missing from my camp, what could he do? Jerudo had reached the east of Yingzhou as scheduled. It was Li Congjing who could expect that Ben Shuai would send Jerudo to attack, but how did he know where Jerudo was? It was he who was lucky enough to know the whereabouts of Jerudo, what did he do to deal with Jerudo's ten thousand cavalry soldiers? ”

"Having said that, I had to guard against ......" The general was a cautious man.

Yelu Enemy Assassin didn't want to listen to him anymore, and there was anger in his eyes, and he reprimanded: "At the moment, there are only two situations, either Li Congjing sent troops to stop Yelu Rudo, or he didn't have time to act. With Yelu Rudo's 10,000 cavalry elite soldiers, Li Congjing could not stop it no matter what, let alone defeat it, so the strategy of Ben Shuai's two-sided attack was still effective. You don't need to say more, and go to the front line to supervise the battle, today this commander will definitely cross this river! ”

After speaking, he snorted coldly, "For decades, my Khitan warriors have been invincible, invincible and invincible. Today, we are waiting for the front of the army, how can we block the way of a stream?! ”

The Khitan army has been on the offensive again.

By the afternoon, the battle of the White Wolf Water had not stopped, not only did it not stop, but the battle became more and more intense, so far it had fallen into a stalemate, the offensive and defensive sides had been connected, and the battle had become a white-knives battle.

The war on the river is not extinguished, and the endless wooden boats rush forward, like ten thousand fish to the sect, and the broken wood and floating corpses are drifting in the river. A large number of wooden boats leaned against the river beach, and the Khitan sergeants rushed down from the wooden boats, dragging their wet bodies, screaming, raising shields and waving knives to rush ashore, and followed the Tang army that rushed out to block the attack after the fortifications. The angry waves rolled up the frost and snow, the waves crashed, and the soldiers in it stepped on the wet soil, river sand, and gravel, allowing the river to wet the knees and battle armor, and fighting each other with the enemy in front of them.

The shallow water on the banks of the river was instantly muddy, and then gradually dyed red, and the corpses lay on the river beach, like dead fish out of the water.

The battle became more and more tragic, the flat battle turned into a three-dimensional battle, and the battlefield where the smoke of gunpowder flew everywhere was full of shouts of killing, screams, and the sound of weapons colliding.

Li Shaocheng rushed out of the arrow tower, jumped onto the embankment, kicked back a Khitan sergeant who had just climbed up, and cut down a Khitan sergeant with a square outcrop next to him with a knife.

Li Shaocheng carried a knife and gave orders to the generals and heralds around him, and then the heralds either rushed to other places to give orders, or rushed back to Yingzhou City to report the battle situation to Li Congjing, and the generals each took their own men to support the difficult areas of the war.

In Yingzhou City, Li Congjing saw all this in his eyes, and still had no plan to do anything.

Until the herald sent back by Li Shaocheng conveyed Li Shaocheng's military report to him, Li Congjing only asked this herald to bring Li Shaocheng a four-word military order: "Hold on and don't retreat!" ”

"Marshal, there are many Khitan barbarian thieves, the offensive is urgent, Vice Marshal Li is in a difficult situation, please let the humble post go to help the war!" Ding Hei couldn't bear it, so he asked for a fight.

Li Congjing said indifferently: "In the battle of 10,000 people, I will let you take all the guards around you, how useful can it be?" ”

Ding Hei was just in a hurry and didn't know what to do.

Seeing him scratching his ears and cheeks, Li Congjing scolded with a smile: "Speaking of which, you have experienced a lot of wars, but you are so flustered when it comes to the end, like ants on a hot pot, what kind of system?" Don't let the soldiers look at the jokes. ”

Ding Hei sighed heavily, "Marshal, it's useless for us to stay here and watch!" ”

Li Congjing stood up, walked to the wooden fence, was silent for a while, and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

"What are you waiting for?"

Li Congjing looked to the east and did not speak.

The avenue that extends from the east gate of Yingzhou City leads straight to the field, and there is no one on it at this time.

When did someone return from the East?
