Because the main force of the Qing army was responsible for siege, and climbing the wall required human life to fill it, most of the soldiers in the Han army moved with the main force. Most of the soldiers who went deep into the countryside were real Tartars. Because the opportunity to get rich was given to their own people! The Han army flag that followed them mainly played a role in leading the way and translating.

After Liu Pei and the officers combined all the information, combined with Liu Pei's prescient factor, they finally came to the final conclusion that the Tartars had almost suffered and were about to withdraw!

After reaching this conclusion, the officers were all excited. After following Liu Pei for a long time, these officers won more battles, and they would inevitably be a little proud and wanted to fight a happy battle!

Especially the cavalry brought back a string of heads, which made the infantry officers' eyes red and their chests stuffy! They wanted to hold down the main force of the Qing army and fight!

In fact, Liu Pei also wanted to meet the Qing army head-on! But now he has only more than 7,000 troops in full swing. Compared with the Qing army with more than 20,000, the power difference is very different! If you are not careful, you will never be doomed! So with the active request from the officers, Liu Pei still calmed down and thought about countermeasures seriously.

The soldiers rested for two days and took a good rest. The war horses also rested for two days, enjoying the treatment they could not get when they went to war. They shook their heads and tails and regained their spirits.

Two days later, Liu Pei left behind 300 cavalrymen and released all the remaining cavalrymen.

Liu Pei’s decision has to be said to be very bold. Liu Pei relied on his understanding of history and knew that the Qing army had never approached Baoding this time, so he dared to do so. Otherwise, without the support of the cavalry, his more than 5,000 infantry were entangled by the Qing army on the plains, which would be a headache!

The purpose of Liu Pei's release of the cavalry was to investigate. This time, he ordered the cavalry to set out in groups of three or five, and ordered them not to take the initiative to attack the Qing army at any time and under any circumstances. Because all Liu Pei wanted was news.

After the soldiers were released, the cavalry who were already familiar with the surrounding terrain quickly brought back a lot of news to Liu Pei, which made the officers around Liu Pei busy!

At this time, we can see the benefits of the soldiers reading and literacy. Every soldier will write what he sees into small notes and pass it back. There are the direction of the enemy's march, the approximate number of people, the equipment of weapons and armor, and the materials carried, which is very detailed. Soldiers who can do all this are rare among the Ming army! Only a few elite soldiers can do it without taking them at night.

As a large amount of intelligence was transmitted back, the officers gradually outlined the movements of the Qing army according to the collected intelligence analysis.

There are more than 20,000 Qing troops in the southwest, and now they are roughly divided into two parts. More than 14,000 people are escorting the captured population and property and moving towards Beijing. Behind them is a Qing army unit, which is sweeping again in the way you have been here in a relatively loose form. I want to see if you can get some property and population. There are about 9,000 people in this group.

Seeing this situation, Liu Pei made a quick decision and ordered the troops to set off. His target was the Qing army that was cut off.

When Liu Pei saw this information, he was also very moved by the caution of the Qing army commander. In the case of a great victory, he still divided the team into two parts: one, one and one behind. The team escorted the population and property had low mobility, so most of the strength was concentrated there, leaving a team with strong mobility to cut off the back.

If someone pursues the main force of the Qing army, they will inevitably be attacked from both sides. If the troops in the rear are attacked, and the Qing army in the rear are difficult to compete with, they will use their mobility to quickly break away from the battle and move closer to the large army.

While Liu Pei rose up to the camp, he recalled the more than a thousand cavalry to the camp for rest and released the other 300 cavalry. When Liu Pei went to welcome the cavalry back, he found that the cavalry had lost dozens of people to enter for a large amount of intelligence. But no one thought it was a loss. After all, it would always cost some money to obtain intelligence!

The tactic set up by Liu Pei is very simple, which is to use 300 cavalry to cut into the two Qing army teams and completely cut off their communications. Then the main force quickly approaches and intercepts the enemy, strives to end the battle within one day, and then stay in place to build the camp. If the main force of the Qing army returns to attack Liu Pei, Liu Pei will rely on the camp to carry out the Qing army.

Destroy and injure in large quantities, and then decide whether to pursue the Qing army and regain all population and materials.

After the 300 cavalry set off, the large group of people quickly crossed Shuiqing, Dong'an, and headed straight for Wuqing. They would intercept the Qing army on the west side of Wuqing.

At this time, we saw the importance of daily training. The soldiers brought a full set of equipment, escorted the baggage, and marched quickly under the cover of the cavalry. Because the Qing army also discovered the large-scale cavalry sentry around them. This could not be hidden.

The experienced Qing army certainly knew clearly that the Ming army was approaching them. Although the Qing army was still arrogant and did not take the approaching team seriously, out of caution, they subconsciously began to gather their formation and sent messengers to the main team in front to explain the situation.

However, the waves of messengers they sent were all killed by the 300 cavalry, and none of them missed. The messengers sent by the main force of the Qing army did not escape from the heavens. The two Qing army troops were cleanly divided into two sections and completely divided.

At this time, the rangers on both sides had already begun to fight. The arrogant Qing army did not strangle the rangers to cover the army. They just habitually strangle any force that dared to resist them. They did not think that the Ming army had the power to challenge them. This saved Liu Pei's cavalry a lot of effort and successfully obtained their marching route and number.

This also made Liu Pei calmly arrive at the eastern part of Wuqing County and set up a formation there, waiting for the arrival of the Qing army. Liu Pei knew that the Qing army might not be interested in attacking the strong camp on the way back to his hometown, so Liu Pei could only abandon the camp and set up a formation on the plains.

After receiving the notice from Liu Pei, the rangers began to motivate the Qing army to move towards Wuqing. Moreover, Wuqing was their only way. So the Qing army slowly approached Wuqing according to the established route.
