(Thank you for the reward of dreams in the world, ask for a monthly pass!) ）

It's getting late, and the night is cool.

The evening breeze was gentle, and the Khitan soldiers who had drunk some wine were drunk, and their eyelids drooped when they were blown by the cool evening breeze. Although he didn't drink much, he was already exhausted after two days of marching on the road, and he was already exhausted after two days of marching on the horse, and he was even more drowsy after drinking some wine.

The half-drunk Khitan soldiers lay in the barracks at will, and some even lay directly outside the tent, all of them took off their armor, only wore a pair of shorts, and fell asleep.

A black shadow drilled into Gao Zhaokang's tent, and Gao Zhaokang was sitting in the tent with his eyes intent, holding a whetstone in his hand, and he was polishing the horizontal knife in his hand.

"Childe, it's almost time, the Khitan soldiers are sleeping soundly, and they can do it." Gao Bing said in a low voice.

Gao Zhaokang stopped, put the whetstone aside, picked up a damp cloth, and gently wiped the horizontal knife clean.

"Then let's do it!"

A group of men dressed in ordinary people's clothes quietly emerged from the streets and alleys of the city, and then gathered together and quietly rushed to the city gate. The guards at the city gate are the support of the Khitan regular soldiers, and the Khitan regular soldiers are all cavalry, all brave warriors, they charge into battle, and the rest is handed over to the auxiliaries. Each soldier had two auxiliaries, one was an auxiliary soldier who specialized in grass valleys, who was responsible for collecting grain and grass, and even helping them loot property. The other main job was to defend the camp so that the soldiers could have enough time to rest.

In front of the gate of the mountain city, there were a hundred Khitan auxiliaries guarding the gate, and these people were both fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys and fifty or sixty-year-old people. They are not as brave as the soldiers. But it's also quite fierce. The Khitans are a people on horseback. He has been trained in mounted archery since he was a child. Therefore, these teenagers, and those old people, are actually much stronger than the ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty. Even the auxiliary soldiers of the Khitans were stronger than the average Tang army's soldiers.

In the darkness, those who sneaked up to the city gate used the faint moonlight to make tactical arrangements with gestures, and they were soon arranged.

"Whew!" A crossbow machine was the first to fire, and the black bolts fired directly at a Khitan officer at the head of the city. Without waiting for the man to react. The bolt had already hit him in the center of the eyebrow, so that he was shot before he could even snort.

After the first arrow was fired, the person behind him pulled the string knife of the crossbow machine one after another, knocking down the locked targets one by one. The Khitan guarding the gate was shocked and screamed, but by this time they had already fallen twenty or thirty people. And those raiders have already rushed to the front, in the dark night, although the Khitan soldiers' archery skills are good, but in the dark night, within a short distance. But it can't be compared to the strength and speed of the crossbow arrow. One by one, the Khitan guards fell to the ground, and soon they had already taken the city gates.

A cacophony could already be heard in the city. But the raiders have managed to open the gates.

With the squeak of the city gate opening, the drawbridge also fell down, and the Tang army ambushed outside the city poured into the city like a tide.

The two cities of the east and west were opened almost at the same time.

"Toot!"

A feathered arrow shot through the window and into the room, the arrow slamming into the table next to the bed, the feathers still buzzing.

Jerodach woke up suddenly, and looked at the arrow that was only a few inches away from him, and his forehead couldn't help sweating. If you listen closely, it seems that there are shouts of killing everywhere.

"Damn it!" Yelu Dachi's first thought was that the damned Tang army had entered the city, and the second thought was that Gao Zhaokang had surrendered.

Gao Zhaokang stood on the city gate tower, and could clearly see that the city was full of firelight and shouts of killing, and not far from the other side, another mountain city was also in chaos. He knew very well that Li Jing's plan had succeeded.

There is no need to wait for dawn, and the 6,000 soldiers and horses of the Khitan Yelu Dachi will all die here.

Yelu Dachi may never have imagined that he would give his life to the person with whom he hated to take his wife, and surrender to the Khitans.

Yelu Daguang was triumphant last night, but now he has become a turtle in an urn. Li Jing will not let go of these people who have thrown themselves into the net, and there are hundreds of special combat soldiers arranged by Li Jing among the people in the city. On the south bank of the Fudu River, there were already 20,000 soldiers and horses of the four armies of Shenjie, Feixiong, Yingyang, and Leopard Cavalry arranged by Li Jing here. At present, 20,000 Tang troops have poured into the two cities, and Yelu Dachi will not have the slightest chance to escape.

Gao Zhaokang had to admit that Li Jing was indeed cunning and scheming. Even though Li Jing obviously had an extremely numerical army, he did not directly advance all the way, but asked him to surrender to the Khitans, lure them to come, and then laid this trap, surrounding the 6,000 Khitans in two cities at once.

Although the Khitans fought very well, they were all equipped with war horses, and they were equipped with two horses. They fought countless battles with the Tang army, and what they were best at was ambush warfare, mobilizing the Tang army, and then setting up ambushes in some dangerous places. Immediately after the first hit, use mobility to go away. But now, they were deceived by Li Jing to stay away from Jian'an Prefecture and come here, and were finally deceived into the city, closed and beaten dogs.

can run again, and then with a two-horse Khitan light ride. At this time, there is also nowhere to escape. A full 6,000 horsemen, accounting for one-third of the soldiers and horses of the Jian'an Khitan Company, are about to be destroyed if they can't escape.

Last year, their Gao family took all the soldiers and horses in Jili Prefecture, as well as reinforcements borrowed from other cities, and the strength was still above the Khitans, but in the end, they were beaten by the Khitans and only one mountain city remained.

This is the gap between them and Li Jing, this gap is too big.

The closer he came into contact with Li Jing, the more he felt the distance from Li Jing. If you endure humiliation and bear the burden, is there really a day of revenge?

Yelu Dachi still had a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that it might only be Gao Zhaokang's people who raided. If so, he still has a chance to turn the tables.

"Move closer, move closer to me!" Jerodadchi shouted.

However, all that responded to him was the rows of bows and arrows of the Tang army.

"Archer, release the arrow!"

Zhao Li was in charge of directing the attack on Xicheng, holding a long sword in his hand and shouting orders. All the Khitan arrays that tried to get close to the gathered would immediately be hit by the volleys of the Tang archers. The closer you get, the more you gather, the faster you die.

The Khitans wanted to escape, but they had nowhere to run.

At the very first moment of the raid, the Tang army had already occupied the Khitan stables. The Khitan cavalry without horses was actually just an ordinary infantryman. Even these cavalrymen who were attacked by surprise were still a little dizzy, and some of the armor rushed out naked before they had time to put it on.

Facing the Tang army, which was neatly formed, well-armored, and orderly, they could only retreat step by step, leaving one corpse after another.

Gao Bing stood beside Gao Zhaokang, looking at the Khitan soldiers who had been defeated again and again under the attack of the Tang army, and sighed.

"The Zhenguo army is even more powerful than expected, no wonder it only took half an hour to capture Langu Mountain City. With such an elite general, Li Jing can actually directly defeat Yelu Dara's Jian'an Prefecture even if he doesn't need to deceive him. An army of 100,000 people, even if it hits Liaodong Prefecture in one go, it will not surprise people. ”

Gao Zhaokang also sighed, "Li Jing is like this, even if it is to fight a rabbit, he will use all his strength." The lion fights the rabbit and uses all his strength, such a person is very scary. He asked us to deceive and lure the enemy, which allowed him to annihilate a vital force in Jian'an Prefecture at the lowest cost. Moreover, how can we no longer surrender to the Khitans. ”

"Who is this Zhao Li?" Gao Zhaokang asked. It was Zhao Li who attacked and destroyed Langu City, and now it is Zhao Li who has invaded Xicheng, and he has no impression of this Zhao Li Gao Zhaokang, and he has never heard of such a person in Li Jing's army before. But this person was too strong, and he stormed the mountain city of Langu, and took the mountain city in half an hour at the cost of only fifty casualties. Now attacking the West City, entering the city until now, it is only about half an hour, and the three thousand Khitan people in the city have been killed and cannot be gathered, and it is estimated that in another half an hour, this battle will be over.

Gao Bing also sighed, "I heard that it was the general that Li Jing just got from other Jiedu envoys in the Central Plains, and it turned out to be a tooth general." is in his fifties, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful. ”

When the day was about to dawn, the battle between the east and west cities finally ended, and only the Tang army was still in the city to hunt down and clear the scattered Khitan fleeing soldiers.

Because this was a surprise battle, and it was an encirclement and suppression battle in which the Tang army controlled the city gate, none of the 6,000 Khitan soldiers fled out of the city.

At noon, Zhao Li, the leader of the Flying Bear Army, Zeng Yuanyu, the master of the Shenjie Army, Liu Shouqian, the leader of the Eagle Yang Army, and the Leopard Cavalry advocated Chengzong, Gao Zhaokang, and Gao Bing to clean up the battlefield. Li Jing had already led the Jinjia Shengjie army and the Yingun suburban army across the Fudu River and reached the city.

"Report to the marshal, from Yelu Dachi's 6,000 Khitan soldiers, 2,000 soldiers, and 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, none of them escaped the net. In this battle, a total of more than 2,300 Khitan soldiers were annihilated, more than 3,600 prisoners were captured, 4,000 high-grade war horses, 8,000 ordinary war horses, more than 4,000 sets of ordnance and armor were intact, and many sets of banners and golden drums were captured! Zeng Yuanyu reported excitedly to Li Jing. Last night, he commanded the attack on the three thousand Khitan soldiers in Dongcheng, and the results were equally amazing, and he finally saved the face he lost in Langu Mountain City.

Li Jing nodded at them, turned his head to Gao Zhaokang and said with a smile: "General Gao has done a good job, and he should be credited with one thing." In addition, General Zeng and General Zhao, who command well, should also be credited. General Liu and General Zhang also performed outstandingly, and they should also be recorded as a third-class meritorious service. The Flying Bear, Shenjie, Leopard Cavalry, Eagle Yang, and the North Korean Army who participated last night all recorded their achievements in battle. ”

Li Jing did not hesitate to praise the generals, especially Liu Shouqian and Zhang Chengzong, the two earliest family heads, and Li Jing patted them on the shoulder and praised them loudly. These two can be said to be Li Jing's henchmen, who were previously unable to participate in the battles of Youju, Daibuk, Songju and Jeju because they went south. However, they also did very well when they went south. During the previous major reorganization, Li Jingli reconsidered, and finally promoted the two to become the commanders of the Pinglu Army Eagle Yang and the Leopard Cavalry Second Army, and became the senior generals under Li Jing in one fell swoop.

"Jerodachi, bring him up, and I will meet him myself." Li Jing said with a smile! (To be continued......)
