Yeludi Rugu couldn't accept this reality, and screamed with a red neck: "Attacking the North Gate Pass is an inherent choice for the king to break through the Tang army's defense line. How can he give up lightly? In addition, in the Qidan Eighth Army, because of In the case of the Langfang Army's heavy losses, only the Division's closest combat force is the strongest!
"Among the half a million embargoed troops in the northward transfer of the Tang Army, there are 200,000 troops in the direction of Pingzhou Yuguan and Juyongguan in Luzhou. Only the North Exit is not the Tiger Guard! The battle has continued for several months. Weak defense, if we give up attacking here, where can we find fighters? "
He was excited.
It is not surprising that Yeluabaoji had this view of Yeludi Rugu.
Because it is true.
However, Yeluabao had the opportunity to make such an order, naturally for his reasons.
He looked at Yeludi Rugu and asked, "In terms of military strength, the North Exit is indeed a weakness of the Tang Army, but I ask you, with the brilliance of Si Jinbei, attacking the North Exit in recent months, can half the points be able to capture the sign of Guancheng?
"You do n’t have to argue. You and I know what the combat strength of Si Jinbu is. The situation has become like this. In the final analysis, the strength and weakness have changed. Because of the existence of the Confucian scholars, Beikou is not only no longer Tang Jun's defense of weak areas has instead turned into a copper wall and iron wall. "
Yelu Di Rugu opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Yelu Abao.
The latter went on: "As far as I know, what appeared at the north exit was Yangzhou Confucian Men. They have a total of 3,000 disciples. In the past month, how many Confucian students have you killed? It is only a few hundred people. There were so many Rumen killing gods in the city.
"After another year and a half, you may be able to kill more than two thousand Confucian scholars, but if the city's Confucianism kills more than two hundred people, Guancheng will remain intact. What is the significance of such a battle?"
Yeludi Rugu was speechless.
He had nothing to say except to ask for a death fight.
Now even the deadly battle would not work, he could only accept the arrangement of Yeluabaoji.
For a long time, Yeludi Rugu reluctantly said, "King, we have been attacking the Tang Dynasty for almost three months. In addition to destroying the Spike Riders in Yunzhou, follow-ups have also won some borders. Prefectures, counties, and small plugs, but there were no big results.
"East and West Bingfeng has been blocked from Yuguan and Juyongguan and cannot be attacked for a long time. Now, if we abandon Beikou, where should we look for fighters?"
He was worried when he said this.
It has been three months since the start of the war. Except for the loss of more than 60,000 fine horsemen to the Langfang Army, the results obtained have been small and trivial. So far, the situation has not been opened, and the situation has been developing in a bad direction.
Attacking the Xiongguan, the Khitan army lost no small amount, and the delay in attacking the Xiongguan, the morale of the army will weaken, and future battles will only be more difficult to fight.
Three months ago, when the Khitan army was moving south, the soldiers of the three armies were fighting with high morale by virtue of the good situation of attacking Tang throughout the world. At that time, the Qidan soldiers would never have thought that after three months had passed, they would not even be able to see Youzhou City.
At the moment, Yeluabaoji and Yeludi Rugu are very capable. They attacked only the 100,000 Chang'an embargoes, and the North Exit where some garrisons were defending. They could not be defeated. If this time they had to retreat, the situation would be even worse. .
If you can't find a turnaround in time, I'm afraid that this Khitan-sponsored southern expedition will end in a hurry.
Yeluabaoji saw the anxiety of Yeludi Rugu.
Although he looked very dignified, it was only shown to Yeludi Rugu, so that in the next battle, the other party could bravely forsake his body and forget to die.
In his heart, Yalua was very calm and confident.
Confidence does not come out of nowhere. It must have roots and a solid foundation; otherwise, it is ignorance.
Yeluabaoji had a plan.
He Shen said: "Let's go to Yuguan."
"Yuguan?"
"Yes, the summer season has begun, it is time to break through the Yuguan Pass."
"How to break through the Yuguan Pass?"
"You continue to storm the North Exit and make a life-and-death stance. After three days, you will be led to the east. I will have my own arrangements at that time."
...
Li Maozhen received an emergency military report from Zhao Bingkun, saying that the Khitan Army outside the North Exit had gone mad for two days, and each round of offensive had an endless momentum, and began to fight endlessly around the clock.
The garrison casualties have increased and reinforcements are needed.
Yeluabaoji and Si Jinbu were both outside the Beikou Pass. Li Maozhen knew this. In the face of such a situation, Mo said that dispatching the full force of the Tiger Guard, even if it gave another 100,000 forbidden troops, is justified.
At the beginning of the war, Yeluabao had never appeared, and there had been no war at the North Exit. It is conceivable that there was a conspiracy. Fortunately, the North Gate scouts found their whereabouts, exposing their intentions to the North Gate. Yeluabaoji had to turn into a surprise attack.
If not, I would be afraid to have been captured by Yeluabaoji with the strength of Beikou before.
Where Yeluabaoji is, it is naturally the main attack position of the Khitan Army. This is beyond doubt.
In the past month, the fighting in Beikou has been fierce, and the percentage of soldiers killed and injured is much higher than Yuguan and Juyongguan. If there were not enough weaponry and strong crossbow in the Tiger Guard, Yangzhou Rumen would continue to dispatch manpower to support it, and an unimaginable force broke out, the battle situation would not be as stable as it is now.
"The Beikou garrison is still too few, and there will be no problems in the short term. If the fighting continues and the fierce momentum shown by the Khitans, the existing garrison will only be able to withstand losses."
Counsellor's Time
At that time, Lu Longjie envoy Liu Rengong presented his views to Li Maozhen.
Li Maozhen frowned: "Where can the army be adjusted?"
Liu Rengong thought for a while and thought, "Yuguan. Right now, summer is coming. Yuguan is full of rain in summer. As long as it rains heavily, Yushui will become an obstacle to the Khitan Army. In this way, the soldiers who keep the customs can Pick some. "
As Lu Long's ambassador, Liu Rengong was naturally aware of the geography of the mountains and rivers under Lu Long's jurisdiction.
Li Maozhen groaned.
If Datang isn't hit by the enemy several times now, she has enough troops to mobilize, so there is no need to take risks to adjust the defenders of Yuguan.
However, the situation is so unhelpful, she can only find a better way to deal with it in the current situation.
...
When Yeluabao arrived in Yuguan, the siege battle was still ongoing.
However, after the battle lasted for three months, the morale of Khitan's soldiers would inevitably slump in the face of the impossibility of overcoming hope. The offensive has lost the previous style of brutal burst, everyone scrambling, and no fear of death.
At least, Yeluabaoji watched for two hours in front of the battlefield, and he did not see any Khitan soldiers holding Tang army to fall from the moment. After a round of offensives often cost hundreds of casualties, it can no longer be sustained and can only be retreated.
Before the fierce offensive, I couldn't win Yuguan for the time being. According to this offensive situation, I was afraid that he would never overcome Guancheng.
Yeluabaoji came to Yuguan to hide his whereabouts, so the Khitan soldier did not know that he was standing on the side of the battlefield, otherwise the situation might be better.
Yeluabaoji did not reveal his own intentions. After carefully observing the war and the city defense situation, he let the commander Yeludilie order and rest for three days from tomorrow.
When Yelu Dilie took the command, although he was eager to stop talking, he did not really say anything different. He himself knew that such an offensive would not have any effect.
But if Yeluabaoji is willing to monitor the situation, the situation will definitely be very different.
However, since Yelua Baoji ordered a break, there is also a reason for wanting to come. Only in this way, the fact that the army is weak is exposed, and the morale of the Yuguan and Tang army will be greatly improved.
Yelu Abaoji saw the mind of Yelu Dilie and said lightly: "Don't worry about Tang Jun despising us. I just want to show the enemy weakness. Only in this way will Tang Jun think that the Yuguan Pass is unbreakable. Wait. After siege again, you will find that there is a lot of guards in Tangguan. "
An impenetrable Guan City does not require much defense.
After Yelu's enemies Lugu frantically attacked the North Exit, but the Khitan Army outside the Yuguan Pass showed no threat, Yelu Abaoji believed that Li Maozhen would dispatch the Tang army here to support the North Exit.
After all, the banner of Yeluabaoji is still there.
In the case of Yangzhou Confucian disciples being continuously attracted to the North Exit, once the original garrison in Yuguan was transferred away, Yeluabaoji did not think that there was anything else that could stop them.
The only thing that the Yuguan Tang Army can rely on, except for the Xiongguan, is that only in this war, the large-scale weapon that appeared and was used was a powerful crossbow. Yeluabaoji carefully observed the situation of the war and knew that although the power of the weapon was extremely powerful, the number was not too much at present.
When the Yankou in Yunzhou fell, the weapon crossbow used by the Langfang Army was only 5,000. The Langfang Army is still the Chang'an banned army. At present, the army that gains the most benefit from the magic weapon bow-Shangguan encamped Peng Zushan before entering the barracks.
In other Chang'an embargoes, because of the small number of weapon crossbow, it can only play a good effect only when defending the city. Once lost the city backing, the weapon crossbow is not enough to control the battle situation.
Because of this, Yeluabaoji now feels lucky.
Fortunately, he launched the battle against Tang early enough.
If it is at night, not only will Tang ’s national strength be improved a lot, but those terrible weapon bows and crossbows, once equipped with the embargo on a large scale, will become a nightmare for the Khitan Army.
Yeluabaoji didn't know how the Tang people developed such a sharp weapon in the battlefield. He cursed the injustice of heaven.
But from the bottom of his heart, he didn't find it unacceptable. After all, the military level of Tang Jun has always been at the top of all nations.
In a nutshell, the current war is the last chance for Khitan to defeat Datang.
Staring at the head of Yuguan City, Yeluabao looked like iron.
