Three days after that, another three days after that, another three days after another, and after four consecutive days, the two groups of soldiers and horses, Li Jing and Li Cunxiao, finally arrived fifty miles outside Dingxiang City.
Li Jing did not lead the soldiers and horses to continue approaching easily. This was already the front line. Who knows how many scouts Yelu Abaoji sent out. Once their whereabouts were exposed, their men and horses would have suffered so much in vain!
Among Dongyi, there are many dangerous areas in the west of Beiping Road and Xiping Road, and there are many checkpoints in these places. But the remaining places are a large number of plain areas, either endless grasslands suitable for grazing, or fertile fields suitable for farming.
land.
It is not without reason that Dongyi has been stolen from Nanping Road again and again!
Dingxiang City was located in Xiping Road, an important town in the east. Among Xiping Road, it was second only to Bailong Mansion as the administrative seat.
After the last battle, and with the imminent arrival of Wang Yu's troops, Yelu'an and Yelu Abaoji took the initiative to abandon six cities and retreated all the way here. They used space to exchange for time and reorganized their forces, with Dingxiang Prefecture as the center.
Expand your defenses.
The Dongyi infantry force was seriously injured, and Yelu Abaoji and Yelu An were not stupid enough to take all their remaining troops back to the city and use a large number of cavalry to fight a defensive battle.
The two men divided their labors and cooperated. Yelu'an was stationed in Dingxiang City, while Yelu Abaoji personally led 50,000 cavalry and stationed them ten miles away from Dingxiang City. They set up a big camp and were at odds with each other with Dingxiang City.
Moreover, the terrain ten miles away from Dingxiang City is on a gentle slope. Yelu Abao will station his troops here. Once the Cang Army comes to attack, their cavalry will charge from high to low. The power of the charge may be increased by more than three points.
, the power exerted by fifty thousand cavalry is not greater than that of eighty thousand cavalry.
Moreover, in contrast to them, their enemies will definitely charge from bottom to top, and the ebb and flow of one after another will be enough for Yelu Abaoji to take advantage of the geographical advantage.
"Send the scouts. The closer you are to the end, the more careful you must be on guard. In addition, let the brothers rest as soon as possible and wait until the third watch tonight before taking action!"
"Find a way to inform the lord and report the existence of our department!"
Along the way, for the sake of secrecy, neither Wang Yu nor Wen Zhong knew where Li Jing had advanced. Moreover, with such a lone army running for thousands of miles, it was normal for their own side not to be able to catch their traces.
If their own people could catch it, it would be difficult to hide it from the eyes of the enemy.
As for now, the only thing Li Jing does is rest!
Yes, just rest!
The army has been running continuously for such a long time. At this time, the soldiers have been exhausted to the extreme. Even now, they are not riding on the war horses, but tied to the war horses. They have no strength to even ride. At this time
, if we launch a running attack, it will not be a sneak attack, but a death attempt!
Besides, it's still broad daylight now? How can anyone engage in this kind of sneak attack in broad daylight? It's true that tens of thousands of enemy troops are blind. If Li Jing dares to charge, all the enemies will be killed.
can not see?
No matter what happens, we still have to wait until night!
Even Li Cunxiao, the only god-level warrior among these three thousand people, was resting with all his strength at this time, or in other words, he was cherishing this hard-won rest time.
His physical fitness is definitely far beyond comparison with others, but he is also extremely tired at this time. If he starts fighting now, it will have an extremely important impact on his combat power. Although Dongyi is among the four Yi
The weakest, but not without masters.
Li Jing also fell into a deep sleep, but the heavy armor on his body was not taken off. Obviously, he did not sleep well. However, he is the one in the army who needs the most rest now.
In this battle, the most important thing was not the strongest Li Cunxiao, but the relatively weak Li Jing. Li Cunxiao could be a sharp spear, but Li Jing commanded this one with a sharp brain.
The spear struck where it was meant to strike.
Three thousand people sneak attack the enemy's camp with tens of thousands of people. At every step, they must seize the opponent's weak points and turn the enemy's camp into a flood before the enemy can react. To do this, you need to
It's not just muscles, but more importantly, wisdom.
In fact, mental work is often more difficult than physical work.
Therefore, Li Jing must also ensure that he has enough energy next time.
When Li Jing woke up again, he found that it was completely dark. With the cold moonlight, Li Jing started to wake up the soldiers around him one by one, and simply did the final pre-war mobilization. The soldiers
Then they started to climb onto the horses one after another!
"Surprise the Dingxiang camp and set off."
After everyone was ready, Li Jing shouted in agreement and gave the order to attack. All the war horses were bitten so that they would not neigh, and the hoofs of the war horses were wrapped with a layer of coarse cloth.
, the horse’s hooves hitting the ground will not make too much noise.
This rapid advance was not very long, just over two hours, and countless camps appeared directly in front of the army. Just by looking at the densely packed torches, one knew that a big shot must be living here.
Li Jing and the others set out at the third watch, and now it is the fifth watch. It is almost over. It happens to be the time of day when a person is most tired. The Dongyi soldiers who were patrolling and standing guard couldn't help but start to squirm.
Sleep. As for those who rest in the tents, they sleep the most.
In the face of a formidable enemy, Yelu Abaoji will definitely not let down his guard at this time, and will definitely order the camp to strengthen its vigilance. Moreover, if you are not polite, the Dongyi side has at least sent out thousands of spies to observe the Zhendong Army camp day and night.
According to the situation, if there is the slightest disturbance in the Zhendong Army Camp, they will be able to receive the news here.
However, Yelu Abaoji and Yelu An put all their defenses in front of the Zhendong Army and Wang Yu's soldiers and horses. How could they have thought that the first thing Wen Zhong's soldiers and horses did after finally landing was not to fight with them.
Yelu Defei went to war, but sent 3,000 cavalry thousands of miles from Nanping Road to Xiping Road.
However, even if the soldiers responsible for patrolling and standing guard at this time were extremely tired, and even if Li Jing had tried his best to use various methods to reduce the noise that they might cause during their march, by the time they were only a few meters away from the enemy camp,
When there were only 500 meters left, he was still discovered by the enemy soldiers on guard.
In the night, the line of sight was really affected. Therefore, Yelu Abaoji ordered people to set up many bonfires in and around the camp. When Li Jing got close to this distance, the boundless night could no longer serve as a guide for them.
The best hiding method.
The rapid sound of horns came from the camp, followed by the sound of people howling and horses neighing, but it was already too late.
Too close. At this time, the distance between the two sides was really too close. The distance of 500 meters was just a matter of charge for the cavalry.
