Zhang Qingbai received the news from Du Changqing in the middle of the night and immediately understood all of Pei Yue's strategic intentions.

This is a very complicated situation with numerous back-up plans. It can even be traced back to when Pei Yue led his army across the Beitiao River after the defeat of the Northern Front. From then on, the preparations were made.

"General——" Qi Hui looked at Zhang Qingbai's extremely serious expression and couldn't help but said worriedly.

Zhang Qingbai raised his hand to interrupt him, gritted his teeth and said: "What a Pei Yue!"

The reason why the main force has not yet captured the Guping camp is because the reinforcements from the Liang Kingdom finally appeared three days ago. Zhang Qingbai recognized them at a glance as the most powerful Longbow Army among the Liang Kingdom's Western Army, and they were the elite under Tang Youzhi's command.

Ten thousand longbow troops replaced the northern camp of the Beijing army. The walls of the Guping camp were immediately as solid as a rock, and they remained standing despite being washed away by the Wu army like a tide.

Now that he has received a message from Du Changqing asking for help, how could Zhang Qingbai not see clearly Pei Yue's plan?

This young powerful man has a very high vision. He is not limited to gains and losses in one place. Instead, he plans an overall plan and divides the war situation into three aspects.

The Guping camp first showed weakness, and after cutting off the connection between Zhang Qingbai and the fine crafts in the city, only the northern camp of the Beijing army was used to defend the city. In this way, Zhang Qingbai would not directly give up the only opportunity to capture the west gate of Lingzhou no matter what. The existence of the Longbow Army was

A piece of insurance to prevent the military city from actually falling.

The Tibetan Guards Cavalry entered the Gaoyang Plain in advance, divided their forces and crossed over a large area, successively capturing Xishui Village and Lulong Village. The distance between them to the north and south made Zhang Qingbai unable to figure out his plan, so he could only withdraw Du Changqing's army.

.In this way, Pei Yue not only concealed his true intentions, but also relieved the crisis in Jiming Village.

After Du Changqing returned to the army, the Tibetan front guard attacked him halfway, which not only gave the defenders of Jimingzhai time to rest and recover, but also made the situation faced by Zhang Qingbai more complicated. Of course he believed in Du Changqing's ability, and this army would not be defeated

If the opponent's cavalry is eaten, there will be no problem in self-protection.

But what he needs to make now is whether to send his cavalry to rescue Du Changqing?

By joining forces together, the absolute strength advantage means that the chance of capturing the Guping camp becomes greater.

Upon thinking of this, Zhang Qingbai calmed down, looked at Qi Hui and said, "What did you want to say just now?"

Qi Hui said with some anxiety: "General, General Du said that the cavalry encountered was more than 10,000 people. According to our previous judgment, the cavalry of the Tibetan Front Guard should be about 20,000, so his main force is actually still in Lulong Village.

north."

Zhang Qingbai nodded and said: "Although Guo Qiyun lacks strategy, he is not a fool who can be played by others. Kuidouying's strength is far superior to that of the Tibetan Front Guards. Even if they cannot block the opponent and then annihilate it, it is not difficult to follow them."

Qi Hui said cautiously: "General, I wonder if Pei Yue wants to attract our attention to General Du, and then cooperate with the Hucheng garrison to attack Gu Houye's cavalry?"

Zhang Qingbai thought for a while and said slowly: "Pei Yue is very cunning, but if he wants to use this method to plot against Gu Qidao and Lu Dingguo, his moral character is not enough."

Qi Hui immediately said excitedly: "Then he will definitely die?"

The cavalry under Gu Qidao and Lu Dingguo are the best elite cavalry in Western Wu. Pei Yue has ten thousand men at his disposal. How can he stand a chance of survival if he is targeted by these two men?

Zhang Qingbai said: "He has the idea of ​​​​mobilizing the forces of these two people and letting the Hucheng garrison leave the city, but I believe they can control the situation. Gu Qidao only needs to dedicate 10,000 people to cooperate with Guo Qiyun's 5,000 cavalry.

It can bite Pei Yue's tail. What I'm not sure about now is why Pei Yue is targeting Du Changqing's 30,000 people?"

Qi Hui asked: "Do you really want to eat these 30,000 people?"

Zhang Qingbai was silent, what he was calculating at the moment was this possibility.

If this army was really eaten by Liang Jun, then he would have no choice but to withdraw his troops, and the Eastern Expedition would end in failure.

After pondering for a long time, he finally gave the order: "Let the deputy general of Kuidou camp go south with 15,000 cavalry. We don't ask them to strangle the Tibetan guard cavalry. We only need to protect Du Changqing's infantry to get here smoothly. We will launch an offensive after dawn. I will

Go to the battle in person to supervise the battle, we must capture the Guping Camp!"

Qi Hui's face was solemn, he knew very well that this was a desperate decision.

There are also 5,000 people from Kuidou Camp and 10,000 people under Wang Qingyun in the camp. This is the entire cavalry force.

You must know that Zhang Qingbai rarely went into battle in person in the past, because he was not proficient in martial arts, which would inevitably make the generals under him nervous. Now that he is going to the battle to supervise the battle, it means that this siege battle has reached the final moment.

Either take it or withdraw, there is no third way to choose.

The cavalry marched south under the stars at night, but Zhang Qingbai did not feel sleepy at all. He walked outside the commander's tent and looked at the cold night, with a heavy look on his face.

The variable Pei Yue finally became a serious concern for him, and so far he has not guessed the other party's real back-up plan. He still does not believe that the young man has such terrifying planning ability. Maybe his target is Du Changqing's infantry?

Other than that, he couldn't think of any other way in which the other side could have a chance of winning.

But there was always a lingering haze in his heart.

But he had no choice.

…

The encounter between the Tibetan front guards and the Xiwu cavalry occurred at three o'clock in the morning.

Pei Yue's eight thousand men are mainly composed of Jinshui cavalry, the main force of the Tibetan front guards is given to Wei Rui, and the main force of the longbow cavalry is given to Gu Mang, because currently only he can absolutely control the cavalry of the Jinshui camp, regardless of the other two.

Neither the qualifications nor the prestige are sufficient.

Guo Qiyun led Kuidou Camp in a frontal charge. Ten thousand cavalry troops sent by Qucheng Hou Gu Qiudao divided into two groups and outflanked them from both wings.

Pei Yue did not fight head-on with them, and retreated to the southwest after a few rounds of mounted fire. The two sides did not engage in close combat.

For this battle, Pei Yue made sufficient preparations. The mounts under the crotch of the soldiers were extremely fast, and they gradually distanced themselves from the pursuers.

Mangu's tactics are still effective. Whenever the Tibetan front guard slows down and the opponent is about to catch up, the well-trained Jinshui cavalry will use projectiles to cause a lot of damage.

Even so, the Zangfeng Guards still have to bear a lot of pressure. After all, this is an area controlled by the Xiwu people, and no one knows where an ambush will appear.

In the afternoon, the pursuers finally disappeared from sight, and the Tibetan front guards could also get a brief respite.

Tang Linfen smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, I don't know what the situation is in the east now."

Pei Yue said calmly: "Both Wei Rui and Gu Mang have completed their tasks. Next, it depends on Zhang Qingbai's decision."

Tang Linfen said expectantly: "I hope he can send out all the cavalry."

Pei Yue said calmly: "Even if he doesn't do that, it doesn't matter much. We can eat Du Changqing's 30,000 infantry. In any case, he is facing a dead end. It just depends on which way has less losses.

"

Tang Linfen couldn't help but feel convinced. Although they were chatting leisurely at the moment, there were actually many crises around them. Pei Yue was using his own life to attract the attention of the Xiwu cavalry, and he could let others do this most dangerous and harmless thing.

What a lot of credit.

If the deeds of Pei Yue he heard from Gu Mang before made him admire, the battle on the northern front surprised him, and Pei Yue's decision today made him really want to die.
