Chapter 4 Surrounding

An error occurred while processing s private files

On November 24th, most of the main forces of the rebel army had retreated near Daihe, only fifty or sixty miles away from Yuguan...

The scout urgently reported that Yelu Gao's army was heading towards Lu Long, the Pingzhou Prefecture Prefecture, and Yelu Ning's Lu Long's army was also heading towards Lu Long. Later, news came from the south that Yelu Foding's army accelerated its speed and was advancing towards Luanzhou.

Li Hu lay on the map and looked at it for a long time, calling Yuanye, "Tell the scouts to make sure to find out the distance between Lu Long's army and the palace tent army, which is very important."

Yuanye knew that Li Hu was determined to fight the palace tent army. He hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Yelu Ning's army went to the Flow Stone Camp. The Flow Stone Camp is only more than 100 miles away from Lulong City, and Yelu Gao's army is only more than 100 miles away from Lulong City." Yuanye drew two lines on the map, "The two armies advanced parallel, only more than 100 miles apart, covering each other, and walking very slowly, and they can meet at any time. If nothing unexpected happens, they will arrive at Lulong City tomorrow, and we can find no chance to encircle and annihilate Yelu Gao."

The stone city on the Yuanye Finger Map, "On the contrary, Yelu Foding's army was slow to move. They were still a distance from Luanzhou, and there were only 20,000 troops. If we dispatched the horse army to launch a sneak attack, we would have the chance to wipe it out.\\\\\\"

Li Hu smiled and didn't say anything. Of course, he knew that there was a better chance of hitting Yelu Foding, but compared with Yelu Gao's army, the difference in weight between the two was too big, and the attacks on the Liao army were even more different. This battle was not to kill tens of thousands of enemies, but to repel all the reinforcements of Yelu Chun, killing the Liao army to death, forcing the Liao army to no longer attack in the short term, thus giving the rebel army a firm foothold on Pingzhou Road to win time.

"If I surround and kill Yelu Foding, will Yelu Chun withdraw his troops?" Li Hu asked.

Yuanye thought about it and shook his head. Yelu Foding's army had only 20,000 people, and it was the Liao Xing Army's troops, which was insignificant.

"If I wiped out Yelu Gao's 30,000 palace tent troops, would Yelu Chun be afraid? Will he continue to attack?"

Yuanye understood Li Hu's meaning, but the problem was that so far, the rebel army could not find any opportunity to encircle and annihilate Yelu Gao. Even if it was found, the enemy the rebel army faced was not Yelu Gao's 30,000 troops, and Yelu Ning's 30,000 troops Lu Long. This battle was a bloody battle. Once the two armies were entangled together, Yelu Chun led the main army to come quickly, and the rebel army would not only be unable to defeat the enemy, but also be more likely to be defeated.

"There is no news about Yelu Chun at the moment." Li Hu said, "If Yelu Chun continues to stay in Yutian, it means that he has received urgent reports from Zhongjing, and we have retreated again. He may be hesitating whether to go north to support him. In this way, we can win at least two days and two days to surround Yelu Gao, which should be enough."

"What about Yelu Foding? He is only more than 100 miles away from Luanzhou. If he receives news that Yelu Gao is surrounded and rushed to Lulong for support, we will face the attack of 80,000 Liao troops." Yuanye thought about it and thought that there was no condition for this battle. The rebel army had only 90,000 people and had no chance of winning.

"How did the Liao army know that I only have 90,000 people?" Li Hu smiled. "The reason why we know the details of the Liao army's various troops comes from scouts, partly from the secret stakes arranged by Zhang Guanyu in Youyan, and most of the news comes from the Daxian of Longzhu and the Taoist fellow Taoist. Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. We know the situation of the Liao army, but the Liao army does not know our situation, so we have a great chance of winning this battle."

Yuanye was uneasy, but he was very confident in Li Hu. Last year, Li Hu could find a way to fight out under such a harsh situation in Targlutinous Mountain. Of course, this year's battle will definitely win and not lose.

In the afternoon, the scout finally sent Li Hu the urgently needed news. Yesterday, Yelu Chundi's army was still stationed in Yutian and showed no sign of rushing to Pingzhou.

Li Hu was overjoyed, "I ordered all the troops to rush to Lulong City, attacking and killing Liao in the night, facing the cold wind, and along the roads, like long whistling dragons, moving quickly towards the Luan River.

During the Chou period, Li Hu received news. Yelu Ning led Lu Long's army to station at Shaheyi, and Yelu Gao led the palace tent army to station at Yejituo. The two places were twenty miles apart. Li Hu turned over and dismounted. Wang Dazhong was quick in his eyes and opened the map early. Xie Yidao lit the torch. Li Hu looked at the map. Yejituo was forty miles away from Lulong and sixty miles away from Shaheyi. The northwest direction of these two places was a mountainous area of ​​dozens of miles. The terrain was very beneficial to the rebel army.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ The rebel army could successfully cut off the connection between Yelu Ning and Yelu Gao's army.

Li Hu thought for a while and immediately passed the order.

"I urgently sue Gao Baolong, and ask his deputy general Gao Dahui to take two generals Bohai Army to cross the Luan River quickly, and be sure to arrive at Shaheyi before dawn and block Lulong's army. The other four generals and horses were led by him and followed me to rush to the wild chickentuo."

"Send a fast horse to speed up Lulong City and tell Chu Xiaoyao, the Fifth Army of Hulie, that after receiving the order, he immediately abandoned Lulong City and rushed to Shahe Post to meet the Gao Dahashidi Bohai Army to block Lulong's army and not let Yelu Ning cross Shahe Post one step."

"I urgently tell the head commander of the Huli Army Mao Jun, asking him to take the Huli Army first, second, third and fourth troops to cross the Luan River as quickly as possible, line up in front of the Fejituo, and actively attack Yelu Gao."

"Please ask the left deputy commander Dong Xiaochou to lead the six generals of the resentful army to quickly penetrate the left wing of the pheasanttuo to surround Yelu Gao."

"Please ask the right deputy commander Luo Qinghan to lead the Feiyun Army, and the Thunder Army quickly penetrates the right wing of the Pheasian Tuo."

"Please ask the Minister Tieying to lead the Martial Army, the King of Hell Army, and the Dragon Army to intersect behind the pheasantutuo to set up a formation to surround the Liao army."

The marching Sima Huo Liuge recorded all the orders in his code. The commanders got the card of the message and scattered.

Li Hu waved to the wilderness, "Ask the scouts to keep an eye on Yelu Chun and Yelu Buddha Pin, and be sure to report the message in time to ensure the safety of the Pingzhou battlefield." On the banks of the Shahe River, the population gradually became a large village, with nearly a hundred families. The northwest of the land is full of mountains, but the southeast is an endless plain.

In the early morning, thin mist enveloped the mountains and glaciers, and the Shahe Station was like a dream and a dangerous situation.

Suddenly, a long and rapid sound of trumpet rose into the air, and suddenly tore up Shaheyi's sleep, and the world suddenly woke up.

Then the drum sounded, shocking the earth. The Lulong Army camp suddenly became lively, people shouted and neighed, followed by various drums and horns, and various flags were flying in the wind. In a short time, a group of soldiers rushed out of the camp tent, and knights rode on horseback. A moment later, a huge tiger-wing battle formation appeared on the bank of the Sha River, but because it was too hasty, the tiger-wing battle formation was still a bit messy, especially its two-wing cavalry, which had not yet fully expanded. The entire battle formation looked like a wounded tiger falling to the ground, shakingly about to get up.

In the mist, several war horses rushed out, then crossed the glacier like a wind and lightning, and headed straight to the central army.

The governor of Lulong Army, Yelu Ning, stood under the banner, with bright armor, calm and composed, with a normal expression, and no panic at all. What is particularly surprising is that he was holding a delicate jade comb and slowly combing his long beard.

The scout was sweating profusely, with a panic expression, and quickly reported the military information.

The rebels were coming from the left and right sides of Shahe Post. The left side was the horse army and the right side was the infantry army, with about 20,000 people, less than two miles from Shahe Post.

Yelu Ning handed the comb in his hand to the entourage, took a cup of warm water, rinsed his mouth, and swallowed it. Then an entourage handed over a white silk scarf. Yelu Ning took it to his hand and gently wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth. Then he asked slowly, "How about the pheasant lump?"

Several scouts looked fearful and looked down without saying a word. Obviously, they did not follow the order and went to sleep at night to find a shelter from the wind.

Yelu Ning smiled faintly and waved his hand to ask them to retreat and explore again. It is reasonable to say that the scouts were tired. Twenty miles ahead were the palace tent troops. The scouts of Pingzhou would investigate the situation, and of course, the scouts of Lu Long's army could take the opportunity to take a little lazy.

"The rebels suddenly rushed to Shaheyi, and their target was not us, but the palace tent army of the marching Sima Fu family said anxiously, "I urgently report to the King of Yan and ask him to come and support him as soon as possible."

Yelu Ning handed the silk scarf on his hand to his entourage, took the bag and put it on his head, "Do you think the rebels will siege the palace tent soldiers?"

The Fu family slave hesitated for a moment and felt it was unlikely. The 30,000 palace tent troops, of which 20,000 were elite horse soldiers. Under normal circumstances, even if the rebels had 100,000 troops, they were not their opponents, let alone fighting in such plain terrain.

"The rebels are going to attack us?"
