Three days after that, another three days after that, 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 knew how many scouts Yelu Abaoji had sent out. Once their whereabouts were exposed, their men and horses would have suffered so much in vain!
Among Dongyi, the western parts of Beiping Road and Xiping Road are dangerous areas with many checkpoints. But the remaining places are large amounts of plains, either endless grasslands suitable for grazing, or fertile land suitable for farming.
It’s not without reason that Dongyi was repeatedly stolen from Nanping Road!
Dingxiang City was an important town in Xiping Road, second only to Bailong Mansion as the seat of government.
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 in exchange for time to reorganize 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. The ebb and flow of one is enough to give Yelu Abaoji all the geographical advantages.
"Spread 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 gone. Moreover, with this kind of lone army running thousands of miles deep, it is normal for our own people not to be able to catch their traces. If their own people could catch it, it would probably 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, it will be death!
Besides, it’s still broad daylight now? How can anyone play this kind of sneak attack in broad daylight? Do you really think that the tens of thousands of enemy troops are all blind? If Li Jing dares to charge across, all the enemies will not be able to see him?
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-earned 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 effectiveness. Although Dong Yi is the weakest among the four Yi, it is not without its 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 rest the most right now.
In this battle, the most important thing was not the strongest Li Cunxiao, but the relatively weak Li Jing. Li Cunxiao can be a sharp spear, but Li Jing, as a sharp brain, directs the spear to stab where he should.
Three thousand people sneaked into the enemy's camp of tens of thousands. Every step must be taken to attack the enemy's weak points. Before the enemy could react, the enemy's camp was turned into a flood. To do this, you need not only 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 after another, 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 a layer of coarse cloth was wrapped on the hoofs of the war horses. , the horse's hooves hitting the ground will not make too much noise.
The rapid advance this time was not very long. In just over two hours, countless camps appeared directly in front of the army. Just by looking at the dense torches, one knew that a big shot must live here.
Li Jing and the others set out at the third watch, and now it is the fifth watch, which is almost over. It happens to be the time of day when a person is most tired, and the Dongyi soldiers who were patrolling and standing guard couldn't help but start to squirm. sleep. As for those resting in the tents, they slept the most to death.
In the face of a formidable enemy, Yelu Abaoji would never let down his guard at this time, and would definitely order the camp to be on heightened alert. Moreover, if you are not polite, the Dongyi side sent out at least several thousand spies to observe the situation of the Zhendong Army camp day and night. If there was the slightest disturbance in the Zhendong Army camp, they would be able to receive news here.
However, Yelu Abaoji and Yelu An put all their defenses in front of the Zhendong Army and Wang Yu's troops. How could they have thought that the first thing Wen Zhong's troops 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 they might cause during their march, by the time they were only a few steps 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 Abao 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 their guide. 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 five hundred meters was just a matter of charging for the cavalry.
"Ding, Army God Li Jing..."
