As early as when Hu Zhi sent information to Zhu Di's army, Feng Yeling learned in Qingzhou that Peiping was in danger, and Lan Qiao took Hua Yuxi to Peiping, so he rushed to Peiping to help.

However, Sheng Yong wanted to prevent Zhu Di from rebelling in the north, and the army set up many obstacles on the road from Qingzhou to Peiping, forcing Zhu Di to be trapped in Shandong.

The two armies were entangled in Shandong for more than a month. Finally, Zhu Di found a rare opportunity to use the coordinated operations of the Langya cavalry and the Duoyan guards to open a small gap in Sheng Yong's blockade near Cangzhou.

Based on Feng Yeling's outstanding performance since returning to the mountain city, in order to facilitate command, the Langya Cavalry at that time was divided into three groups. Feng Yueming, Yunhe and Feng Yeling each led one group, each with 3,000 people. They served as blockade line

The gap opened, and Feng Yeling's position was closest to the gap, so he rushed over first.

Sheng Yong sent emergency reinforcements and quickly filled the gap. As a result, it was difficult for Zhu Di's side to break through to the blockade. Only Feng Yeling's 3,000 cavalrymen were able to leave Shandong and rush to Peiping.

Arutai saw that it was getting dark and the enemy had fresh troops rushing to reinforce him. He no longer dared to fight and led his army back to the Tatar camp under the city of Peiping.

Lan Qiao and Feng Yeling reunited in a different place, and their hearts were full of infinite joy. When Ling Yufei and Xiao Hui returned to the news that Beiping City had not been lost, they first moved to the more hidden and safer Qiufeng Ridge camp, and then calmly planned the next step.

How to act.

"The soldiers guarding the city were not used to fighting against the Tatar cavalry at first, and were exhausted by their involvement. Later, they gradually became familiar with the enemy's fighting style, and became more familiar with dealing with it." Ling Yufei said excitedly, "Let's

They also lured away 20,000 people from Arutai, disrupting their troop rotation, which naturally made the siege even more difficult."

"It's just dragging." Feng Yeling first asked the three thousand Langya Army soldiers who came with her to camp on the hillside of Qiufeng Ridge, and then walked into the Huairou camp and sat with Lanqiao, Zhang Fu and others around the bonfire for a week, together

Discuss countermeasures: "The king is fighting in Shandong in a very orderly manner. I believe that in five days or at most ten days, he will be able to break through Sheng Yong's blockade and lead the main army back to Peiping."

"Now that the enemy is exposed and we are hidden, we cannot be too passive. We must continue to attack Guilichi's back like today to interrupt his siege plan and make him worry about our presence and unable to attack the city with all his strength.

"Zhang Fu added, "Only in this way can the pressure on Beiping's city defense be relieved to the greatest extent until the king returns."

Lan Qiao knew that Zhang Fu was still blaming himself for letting the Tatar army pass the Juyongguan defense line from the south entrance, so he was extremely active at the moment and tried to make up for his mistakes. He thought for a while and said: "Now we have both foot and cavalry, and in terms of tactical choices

Naturally, we can be more flexible. My suggestion is to focus on harassment and destruction. We should try to avoid taking risks like today."

One of Zhang Fu's lieutenants named Lu Xiu interjected: "Didn't we fight very smoothly today? The effect is also obvious. Ghost Lichi was unable to shake the city of Beiping until dark."

Lan Qiao shook his head and said: "Today was a fluke. If it weren't for Ling'er leading the Langya army to support in time, and Hua..." He wanted to say, "There are Hua'er making Arutai suspicious," but when he saw Feng Yeling sitting there,

The person next to me suppressed the next words, blushed and said: "In short, Arutai will not make the same mistake again. If we continue to attack head-on like today, we will definitely not be able to survive in circles."

Zhang Fu was looking forward to making up for his mistakes with a beautiful victory. Obviously he did not fully agree with Lan Qiao's statement, but for the moment he could not find the words to refute, so he just stared at the bonfire in front of him in trance and remained silent.

Seeing the embarrassment between the two parties, Ling Yufei broke the silence with a cough and said, "Huaiyuan, you just said that the main purpose is harassment and destruction. What do you mean specifically?"

Lan Qiao said: "Burning the enemy's food and grass, destroying their barracks, drugging their horses, and destroying their siege equipment, anything that can annoy them is worth doing."

Zhang Fu retorted: "A prairie army like them always plunders the dry food they carry with them. If you burn their food today, tomorrow they will snatch it back from the hands of the nearby people. They attack

The city relies on ladders and rams, and there is little need for war horses. As for destroying the barracks, it is even more insignificant for them. It can only slightly lower their morale, but has no practical effect."

Lan Qiao did not argue with him, but turned to Ling Yufei and said, "Just now when you visited the Tatar camp again, did you see heavy siege equipment? Like trebuchets or siege towers. Once these equipment are assembled,

It will pose a huge threat to Beiping's city defense."

"I found that they were stacking wood. A large number of soldiers were sent to cut down trees in the forest, and then used horses to drag the wood into the camp." Ling Yufei nodded, "I think they didn't capture the city today, so they planned to assemble heavy equipment overnight.

, we will attack again after the equipment is assembled in a few days."

"That's it." Lan Qiao slapped his thigh and said, "Once Gui Lichi assembles these heavy equipment, if we try to harass him then, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him from attacking Beiping City."

After hearing what he said, Zhang Fu finally realized the seriousness of the situation and knew that this was not the time to act on impulse: "Then what do we do according to your wishes?"

"I will follow Ziyi to Gui Lichi's camp to explore again to see if there are any loopholes." Lan Qiao said decisively, "After many battles during the day, they have to make siege equipment again at night. Maybe

There will be opportunities to take advantage of it.”

Zhang Fu said in astonishment: "Are it just the two of you?"

"Why? Look down on us?" Ling Yufei said with a smile: "If we hadn't been here today, you would have been caught by that Lao Shizi Timur."

Zhang Fu blushed and said, "I mean, even if you find that they are not on guard, what can you do?"

"Of course it's murder and arson. You can do anything." Ling Yufei spread his hands and said, "If you were Guilichi and saw that the siege equipment you had built all night was burned down, would you be angry? It would be best.

Kill a few more of them and make them panic and have no peace all night long."

Lan Qiao agreed: "The most important thing is to burn their siege equipment. Heavy equipment is not easy to make. After burning it, they have to cut down trees and transport wood from scratch. It will take several days to assemble it. Guilichi will have a headache."

.”

He paused and continued: "This is actually a kind of luring the enemy. When Guilichi knows that we have the ability to burn his siege equipment, then in order to avoid being burned again next time when assembling the equipment, he will definitely do it again."

It would be best to send people to look for our hiding place to wipe us out. This will not only disperse their siege power, but also allow us to fight them on a battlefield that is more beneficial to us."

"You mean, Qiu Fengling?" Zhang Fu's eyes lit up.

"With so many of us evacuating to Qiufeng Ridge, Gui Lichi only needs to send a few masters who are good at tracking, and it will not be difficult to find traces." Ling Yufei said, "During this period, we can set up more resisting horses on Qiufeng Ridge, and more

Dig trenches and create the best terrain possible for us to fight."

Lu Xiu interjected again: "Since we are luring the enemy to attack, why not simply retreat to Juyong Pass? Isn't the Guancheng there more difficult to attack than here?"

Lan Qiao explained patiently: "I have three reasons to answer Brother Lu's question. First, Qiufeng Ridge is closer to Beiping City than Juyong Pass, which is more convenient for us to carry out harassment missions. Second, I prefer to occupy the enemy in Qiufeng Ridge.

, in addition to stabilizing the camp, it is more important to use the terrain and defenses here to effectively kill the Tatars, making them pay the price of casualties, and reducing the threat to Beiping City. Third, the Guancheng of Juyongguan

Although it is strong, they can choose not to attack. As long as they send 10,000 or 20,000 people to guard outside the ditch, it will block our way back to the capital. At this time, Guilichi will be free to assemble siege equipment and then attack by force.

We are helpless in Beiping City."

What he said was so heart-pounding that Zhang Fu, Lu Xiu, Feng Yeling, Ling Yufei and even Tieniu who were sitting around nodded frequently.

"That's what happened. I had the soldiers from Huairou Camp train in such an environment at the very beginning of the training." Lan Qiao finally smiled and took out a "five liang and a half" roll from his arms.

He handed the cake to Feng Yeling and said, "Are you hungry? Eat something first."

Feng Yeling didn't show any pretense and accepted it generously.

Lan Qiao took out four more small bottles of sauce and said: "There are also various dipping sauces, including sweet noodle sauce, raw fish sauce, golden garlic sauce and green plum sauce. Among them, green plum sauce also contains mash, which is the most popular among the military.

Which one do you like?"

"No need." Feng Yeling said nonchalantly, "Eating a burrito is so fussy." After saying that, there was no use of any sauce and he just took a big bite.

Lan Qiao hit a snag and had no choice but to put away the sauce bottle. After Feng Yeling finished eating the burrito and gave her a drink of water, he said: "Brother Ziyi and I will leave now. When I'm not around, Brother Lao Zhang will be in charge."

He has taken charge of the coalition forces in Qiu Fengling."

"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong." Zhang Fu patted his chest and said, "This small mountain col is already easy to defend and difficult to attack. I will order people to build more fortifications to ensure that Qiufeng Ridge becomes an indestructible fortress.

.”

Lan Qiao patted Zhang Fu on the shoulder, and Ling Yufei took the weapons and stood up to leave. A beautiful figure flashed out of nowhere and said quietly: "I'll go with you."
