Perhaps in Xie Lin's eyes, the Zangfeng Guards led by Pei Yue had become a ghost wandering on the Gaoyang Plain.

This cavalry possesses eye-catching weapons and armor, and the quality of its individual soldiers is top-notch. It is also led by a general who leads the way and is not afraid of death. More importantly, Pei Yue's command is like an antelope hanging its horns, and there is no trace of it. To this day, Xie Lin has not

He couldn't guess what this young man was really thinking. Although Lin Ruyu helped him with suggestions, Xie Lin felt that the Hucheng garrison would not go north to support him because Xiao Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, only had eyes for that city.

Even so, he still sent his most trusted Ruijin Battalion to rush to the southwest just to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Because Xie Lin knew very well that one's own strength is limited, when facing the overwhelming Tibetan front guard, he gathered the remaining three armies and withdrew. This was not to show weakness, but to accumulate strength and fight hard next time. After all, the situation on the northern front was very different.

The focus is on Xishan Village. As long as he can suppress Tang Youzhi, the overall situation will not be lost.

As for the wandering ghost, Xie Lin stopped paying attention and quietly waited for the day when he came to Xishan Village.

Naturally, Pei Yue didn't know his own image in the opponent's heart. After sending Yang Yingji away, he stood on the bank of the vast Beitiao River and watched the one hundred soldiers who were protecting Yang Yingji as he returned to Longgong Camp drifting away.

For the first time, a worried look appeared on the figure's face.

When he received the command from Cheng'an Hou Lu Min at his mansion in Linqing County, he decided in his heart the general strategy of going north this time.

This was of course a risky move, as a slight mistake could lead to death. What surprised him most was that Tang Youzhi, the Marquis of Jining, who was famous for his stability, would agree with his idea. After receiving the affirmative reply brought back by Fu Hongzhi,

Pei Yue even felt a little unreal, as if all this was just a dream.

The current progress of the war situation is roughly in line with his estimate, and all the foreshadowings have been made. Although Xie Lin's decision to prepare for his surprise attack on Hucheng left him a little confused, fortunately, the final results were almost the same.

"Sir, Lord Yang is not the kind of person who breaks his word. Since he promised in person, he will definitely fulfill the request of the Lord." A calm voice sounded next to him.

Pei Yue turned around and saw Meng Longfu standing there calmly.

He suppressed the emotion on his face, looked down at Meng Longfu's left leg, and asked, "Actually, I didn't agree with you participating in this big battle."

Meng Longfu smiled and said: "Sir, if you have to lie in bed for three months if you break a bone, then we don't have to join the army. Injuries are commonplace and are not so delicate. Even if you become disabled because of it, it is better than hiding behind.

Look at the comrades fighting desperately."

Pei Yue nodded slightly and said, "It's good that you have this intention, but it will still take a long time."

Meng Longfu raised his eyes and looked at his expression, and asked cautiously: "Sir, after arriving at Xishan Village, please sit in the rear and don't go into battle to kill the enemy in person."

Pei Yue stared at him curiously.

Meng Longfu, like several other commanders, has long been loyal to Pei Yue and will never question any of his decisions. Even if he still doesn't know Pei Yue's strategy, he still fulfills his orders meticulously. At this moment, he is cold and cold in front of Pei Yue.

His eyes made him feel

The pressure was great, but he still had the courage to say: "Before leaving, Wei Rui told us that Sir Alex's future is limitless and he must not be injured on the battlefield. Even if we sacrifice our own lives, we can't."

Put Sir Alex in danger."

Pei Yue was silent, and when Meng Longfu became more and more uneasy, he sighed softly, patted Meng Longfu on the shoulder and said: "Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven, there is no need to say these words in the future."

Meng Longfu didn't understand the meaning of these words, but he had developed obedience for a long time, which made him straighten his back and said: "Follow the order!"

Guyang

On October 17, the Zangfeng Guards crossed the Beitiao River for the second time, stayed near Linjiang Village for one night, and then quietly headed north.

On October 21, Xie Lin received an urgent report from the scouts and found traces of the Tibetan Front Guards more than a hundred miles northeast of Xishan Village. They obviously wanted to continue heading north.

On October 24, the main force of the Longbow Army finally arrived to the southwest of Xishan Village, less than three miles away from the military camp. The first confrontation with the Xiwu Army ended with both sides losing more than a thousand men.

Schelling knew very well that this was just a test, and he clearly sensed that this was a precursor to the impending decisive battle.

The candlelight was brightly lit all night in the handsome tent. Xie Lin stood at the door and looked east. The thick ink-like night covered the stars and the moon, and it became increasingly difficult for him to see what the wandering ghost wanted to do.

Now that armies from both sides have gathered around Xishan Village, after returning from Ruijin Camp, Xie Lin finally determined that Pei Yue's goal was not Hucheng, so what was his goal?

The intelligence of the Zangfeng Guards has become clearer and clearer. After the fighting between the three Guyuan villages, this cavalry still has a strength of 6,500. However, with the Ruijin Battalion, Xie Lin does not feel that these six

More than a thousand people can turn the tide of the war.

If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of being remembered. If the Tibetan Front Guards were merged into the main force of the Longbow Army, Xie Lin would only give them some attention. However, this damn cavalry has not come to the main battlefield for a long time, but it is like a lonely soul in the wild.

Xie Lin felt disgusted as he wandered outside like a ghost.

Regardless of how much role the Tibetan Front Guards can play in the future, just because of the emotions that have been tormenting Xie Lin like a shadow these days, Tang Youzhi may have to write their names on the military merit memorial after the war.

"Exclude Ruijin Camp from the decisive battle formation and tell Fang Duanwu that his duty is to keep an eye on the hidden front guard for me. No matter when and where he appears around Xishan Village, I want him to kill that cavalry!"

Xie Lin ordered coldly, but he didn't know whether he would regret it in the future.

Going back four days, the tired Yang Yingji returned to Longgong Camp under the protection of Pei Yue's personal soldiers.

He ignored Gao Yunfan's curious inquiry, took Tang Youzhi's warrant that Pei Yue gave him, and ordered the camp to enter the highest level of alert, and no one was allowed to enter or exit unless he approved.

The Longgong Camp suddenly fell into a tense and chilling atmosphere. On this afternoon, Yang Yingji led the one hundred soldiers to leave the Longgong Camp and saw a convoy protected by cavalry more than ten miles to the southeast.

The leader was a heroic young woman, holding an iron spear in her right hand.

On her left is a military commander with a handsome face like a Confucian scholar, and on her right is a young man with a dull face.

If Pei Yue had not already greeted him, Yang Yingji would probably have walked away. After all, a traditional martial artist like him would not see a woman commanding the army so openly.

However, at this time, he had no thoughts like those of a moral defender. Instead, he was looking at the endless line in front of him, with an uncountable number of various vehicles, and his heart was already surging in his chest and abdomen.
