Chapter 380 (1/2)

Before leaving, two hundred soldiers and horses were left in each of the two strongholds. Other craftsmen and civilian men who can ride can continue to follow the army. Those who can't ride will be demobilized by distributing gold and silver and let them run away on their own.

At the same time, the task of the 400 soldiers left here is to harass them all night, mostly with the sound of drums, without making substantive attacks.

Even so, the noise of drums reverberated throughout the valley at night, which was very noisy. In addition, the main force of Khitan had seen the terrible night attack combat ability of Fenglin army.

Moreover, it can ignore the terrain barrier, bypass the former army and attack the rear army, so that the whole army has no sense of security. Therefore, all soldiers are mentally tense.

Yelyabaoji originally wanted to order the pioneer camp to attack the city again, but the generals of the pioneer camp said they could not carry out it, because they encountered an ambush when rescuing the intermediate camp just now, with many casualties and low morale. If you attack the city again, I'm afraid the morale of the army will collapse.

Yelv Abao was helpless. It was dark at night, which was not good for the rotation of the front and rear battalions. After all, they had not done special night combat training. For them, the feasibility of successful implementation of such military action was too low.

Therefore, we can only make Qianfeng battalion do a good job of monitoring to prevent Fenglin army from sneaking attacks. At this time, Yelv abaoji saw the strength of Fenglin army and began to think less that Li Dingguo would withdraw with Fenglin army.

After all, if he really wanted to evacuate, he could return to Pingzhou and enter Yanyun through the Liaoxi corridor when attacking Liaoxi county city.

He took the initiative to choose the battlefield in the middle of the mountain road, and the army stored enough food and grass through looting. In addition, Yelu abaoji also learned from the news reported by the scouts that Li Chengye had defeated the Han Army and had led Zuo Shence into governor Rao Le's house and was behind him.

Perhaps the focus of attention is to use Fenglin army to hold down his main force and let Li Chengye attack his rear.

In this regard, yelyabaoji just sneered. His personal soldiers, the leather room army, were all the elite, and there were 10000 people. Even if Li Chengye came to his rear, he had absolutely no way to threaten himself.

A mere four thousand left Shence Jingqi is just an appetizer in front of the ten thousand leather army!

In addition, Li Chengye may not be able to catch up with the speed of his 10000 deviant troops. The distance from governor Rao Le's house to here is much longer than the detour of the partial army, and it's also a mountain march all the way, even faster!

Therefore, it must be our side that first attacked the Fenglin army, removed the Fenglin army, and then went back to clean up the left Shence army, which had become an isolated army. If Yelv Baoji kills Li Chengye and defeats the God of war of the Tang Dynasty, who else in the world can fight with me?!

Although yelyabaoji imagined the happiness after defeating the two elite troops of Datang, every soldier of the whole army was nervous and had a bad rest at night under the harassment of the intermittent drumming of the two Fenglin military strongholds.

After such a night, the whole army was exhausted and could not make siege tactics at all. Can only shrink the camp defense, worried that Wei Ran will launch an active attack in the daytime.

Yelu Abao was very angry. He looked at the camp in the mountain ahead. It was full of elite soldiers wearing iron armor. They were all armed to their teeth. Even their faces were covered by iron masks, guns and shields. They looked very powerful and majestic.

In the mountains and forests on both sides of the stronghold, birds can't enter. Obviously, there are soldiers in ambush, waiting for them to launch a sneak attack from the side when they attack the stronghold.

Yeluabaoji didn't know that the soldiers in the stronghold were scarecrows covered with iron armor. There were only a few soldiers on both sides of the road, holding flags and pretending. Even the cooking smoke in the military stronghold was a fire made by the stranded civilian men.

Wei Ran's task for the 400 soldiers was to set fire to the stronghold and set fire to the mountains once the Khitan main force attacked the city, so as to temporarily stop the attack of the enemy's main force with fire attack, and their 400 people could quickly evacuate by taking advantage of the advantage of one man and three horses.

Qidan's main force faces the autumn high mountain fire. Even if it uses the water of Xiaoling River, it will be delayed for at least one day. Unfortunately, when the fire spreads too fast to control, it can only return to Yingzhou.
