419 [Dingding]

Schelling didn't want to give up.

When the Liang Guo defenders from the ten military villages on the northern front abandoned their posts and gathered into a powerful force with a desperate momentum, and appeared on the main battlefield, he was indeed shocked, and at the same time a little regretful that he had not seen through this.

It's actually a very simple strategy.

Now he still has more than 20,000 cavalry and nearly 50,000 infantry in his hands, which is slightly less than Liang Jun's troops, but generally the difference is not exaggerated.

Just when he was about to mobilize his troops and use his cavalry to find a way out of the Liang army's formation and rescue the infantry who had fallen into hand-to-hand combat, three streaks of dust and smoke suddenly appeared in the distance.

Pei Yue personally led 10,000 people, and the target was clearly the Wu army's main formation. Tang Linfen and Gu Mang each led 3,000 cavalry, and they coordinated the charge from both wings. For a time, their momentum was unstoppable.

According to common sense, Pei Yue's charge at this moment is not rational. He can wait for the Xiwu cavalry to attack and then use them to attack. After all, most people can now understand that the winner of this battle lies in the infantry, and the cavalry on both sides

The number of people and strength are about the same. Even if the winner can be determined, the winner will pay an extremely heavy price in the end.

But judging from Pei Yue's posture at this moment, this guy is just a madman, and he seems to have made up his mind to die with Wu Jun today.

Liang Jun cavalry is approaching.

The fighting between the infantry at the front was extremely bloody.

The counselors around him looked at Xie Lin nervously, waiting for him to make the final decision.

Although Xie Lin came from a humble background, his life was extremely smooth. He transformed from a domestic slave in the Marquis Mansion to an upright cavalryman, and then rose through the ranks. He made many military exploits in small-scale battles with Liang Jun at the border, and almost never encountered any Tails.

A big setback.

At this moment, he was vaguely worried. Pei Yue did look like a madman, but he was not really mad. All the previous methods had confirmed this. This seemingly crazy young powerful man always had something hidden in his hands that others could not guess.

trump card.

Xie Lin originally thought that Ruijin Camp could defeat the Zangfeng Guards, but the final result was that Ruijin Camp was destroyed.

He thought that he could defeat Tang Youzhi's Longbow Army with his superior strength, but he didn't expect that Pei Yue actually summoned 30,000 reinforcements out of thin air.

So is there really no hidden back-up plan for this guy's current situation of being in ruins?

"General!" Xiao Qianshan, the captain of the cavalry, asked nervously.

Xie Lin slowly raised his right hand, finally showing hesitation in front of his close subordinates.

If Pei Yue did not ambush, judging from the current situation, both sides would probably lose in the end, and maybe Liang Jun could achieve some victory. If that guy could really summon a supporting army, I'm afraid it would be outside the Xishan stronghold today.

Schelling's burial place.

No matter what the outcome is, Pei Yue seems to not suffer any loss.

Xie Lin had a deeper understanding of this man's insidiousness and cunning. He couldn't help but think of the intelligence returned by the spies hiding in Liang's Kyoto who narrowly escaped death. Pei Yue was the most unique and eye-catching martial arts disciple of Liang in the past few years.

As a concubine, he became a highly valued military commander by the Emperor of Liang. He was the first young man after Gu Liang to have such a situation.

Thinking again about Emperor Kaiping's expectations for the Tibetan Front Guard, the ambush may really exist!

If not, why could Pei Yue show such an aura of indomitable disregard for life and death?

The beam cavalry had already galloped halfway across the distance and were gradually approaching the area where they could perform mounted archery.

Xie Lin finally waved down the raised right hand. Under the nervous or worried gazes of everyone around him, a sentence full of desolation and sadness came into their ears: "Send the order to withdraw the troops!"

After making up his mind, Xie Lin calmed down and issued an order in an orderly manner: "Zuo Xiao, lead eight thousand cavalry to block the Liang cavalry. Don't fight with them. Try to take them away from the edge of the battlefield."

The general who brought back the two cavalrymen said loudly: "I will obey the order!"

After saying that, he immediately strode away.

"Xiao Qianshan, you lead eight thousand cavalry to support the infantry to stabilize the position."

"The general will obey the order!"

"Another order is given. Sun Qianqiu's troops are behind the main force. They must block the offensive of Liang Jun's infantry and are never allowed to take a step back! After the main army withdraws, they can escape on their own."

When he said this, Xie Lin clenched his right fist and almost pinched his palm.

The counselors looked at each other, but they did not dare to disobey the general's order.

They all knew the true meaning of this order. In short, it was to let Sun Qianqiu lead nearly ten thousand people to die on this battlefield!

Anyone who is familiar with military affairs must understand what a difficult task it is to hold off a large army, especially when the two sides are fighting for every piece of land. As for the words that you can escape on your own, who can't smell the blood in it? Wei? On such a tragic battlefield, without the protection of the army, and surrounded by enemies everywhere, where can we find hope?

"Send the order!" Schelling repeated.

The commander came to his senses, notified the flag bearer, and personally rode his horse towards the battlefield ahead.

A shrill and high-pitched golden sound resounded through Wu Jun's main formation.

The so-called ringing gold refers to the signal to withdraw troops and retreat, and the specific artifact is a sharp-sounding copper ceremonial.

Many people looked stunned after hearing the sound of gold ringing, but there were also quite a few ordinary soldiers with relief on their faces. The Longbow Army was extremely powerful, and the infantry of Xiwu were already struggling. When there were more than 30,000 soldiers in ten military villages, Reinforcements joined the battlefield, and the infantry of Xiwu were on the verge of collapse.

However, it is difficult to retreat.

In the Daliang army formation, Tang Youzhi did not change his expression after hearing the opponent's signal to retreat. Only he himself knew how violently his heart was beating.

"Instruct Luo Ke and the enemy's army to go around from the south side, and Ding Yuan block the north side, block their retreat, and further compress the encirclement!" He shouted quickly and loudly.

After Schelling issued the order to retreat, the final direction of the battle could not be reversed.

Many years later, Ye Qi sat on a wicker chair, looking at the figures of a few little guys playing and having fun. Recalling the first battle in which the man around her became famous in the world, she couldn't help but curiously asked: "What if Xie Lin was not intimidated by you. He used cavalry against cavalry, infantry against infantry, and fought against you at all costs. What would you do?"

Pei Yue chuckled softly, stared at her and said: "When we were still in Linqing County, you and Shu Yue celebrated my birthday and gave me a big gift together, telling me that we will be with you no matter life or death, so what else can I do? Afraid? Even if he wants to fight me desperately, with you by my side, it's just a matter of life and death."

Of course Xie Lin didn't know that his fiasco was just due to a gun dance in the drizzle.

In the fifth year of Kaiping, on the third day of November, on the vast plain south of Daliangxi Village, Zhongshanzi Pei Yue joined forces with Ninghou Tang Youzhi, dozens of tiger generals, and more than 70,000 armored soldiers to defeat the army of Xie Lin, the general in the east of Xiwu Town.

Xie Lin fled back to Xiwu in embarrassment with more than 17,000 cavalry and more than 29,000 infantry, losing as many as 60,000 troops.
