The main formation of the Western Wu army.

The atmosphere inside the Chinese military headquarters was a bit dull.

Zhang Qingbai rarely changed into a leather armor shirt, adding a bit of sharpness to his elegant temperament. Although he is middle-aged, his appearance still looks outstanding.

The first person sitting on his left was a fierce general named Guo Qiyun, who was the captain of the Kuedou camp.

Kuidou camp has 10,000 cavalry, one man and two horses. The mounts are all the most famous Tianshui horses on the Gaoyang Plain. They are very fast and have strong endurance, and are most suitable for long-distance attacks. In terms of average strength, Zhang Qingbai's cavalry cannot compare to Xie Lin's subordinates.

, But this Wankui Dou Camp is stronger than Xie Lin's Ruijin Camp, second only to Anyang Dragon Cavalry in Xiwu, and it can be called Zhang Qingbai's most powerful trump card.

If the Zangfengwei had not forced their way into the formation, Kuidouying would not have appeared in advance. However, neither Zhang Qingbai nor Guo Qiyun expected that this trump card could not keep the Zangfengwei behind.

Three thousand warriors used their bodies to build a city wall of flesh and blood, blocking the entrance to the rift valley. They held on for half an hour, allowing the main force to retreat smoothly.

Guo Qiyun almost shattered his steel teeth. Although he only used less than a thousand men to wipe out the opponent's three thousand dead soldiers. Such a record was worthy of Kuidou Camp's reputation, but he let Pei Yue and the main force of the Zangfeng Guard go.

This made him, who had always been proud and arrogant, lose his face.

"General, since reinforcements have arrived from the opposite side, I think the Tibetan Front Guards may repeat their old tricks." In order to save his face, Guo Qiyun meditated hard for the past two days, repeatedly deduced the sand table, and finally figured out some ways.

Zhang Qingbai looked around the generals, and finally stopped at Guo Qiyun, and said thoughtfully: "Do you think Pei Yue's idea is so simple?"

In the battle the day before yesterday, he originally thought that the Zangfeng Guards would not cause too much damage. However, after Kuidou Battalion eliminated the three thousand dead soldiers from the rear, the Wu army began to count casualties, and he discovered that more than two thousand cavalry people were killed, and more than two thousand infantry soldiers were killed.

More than 3,000 people were killed and thousands more were injured.

Counting the 3,000 Zangfeng Guards who stayed behind, the number of those killed in the battle was also around 5,000.

In other words, Pei Yue was able to achieve better results when he forced himself into the battle against the dragnet he had laid, which had to make Zhang Qingbai even more vigilant.

Originally, this young powerful man was a variable in his mind, but now the danger of the other party has increased rapidly.

Guo Qiyun hesitated and said: "General, the Liang Army can only mobilize reinforcements from the north and south battalions. The Longbow Army and the Jinshui Army cannot all come out. In addition, the Longbow Army has been fighting fiercely with General Xie in the north for half a month. It will not be possible."

There are a lot of reserve troops. The general estimates that these two battalions can only raise 50,000 troops at best.

The infantry within, even including the remaining defeated generals in the city, have little chance of winning if they want to go out of the city to fight our army. The only way is to let Pei Yue lead the cavalry north from the rift valley and raid our rear formation, as he did the day before yesterday, while the infantry in the city

As soon as the soldiers come out, there will be a glimmer of opportunity."

Zhang Qingbai asked calmly: "Then how do you think we should respond?"

Guo Qiyun said excitedly: "We can divide Kuidou Camp into two, guard the north and south entrances of the rift valley, let the Tibetan Front Guards enter, and then combine to annihilate them! The Tibetan Front Guards are indeed very powerful, but Kuidou Camp is definitely stronger than them.

, as long as there is no gap like last time, this cavalry will definitely not be able to escape from the grasp of the general!"

Zhang Qingbai was silent, Pei Yue's past battles flashed through his mind, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Smart people always think too deeply. From a rational point of view, he felt that Pei Yue would not repeat his same tricks, but what if the other party thought more than he did? At this extremely critical moment, any misjudgment would be a mistake.

All of them may lead to an overall defeat. If the Tibetan front guard had ordinary combat power, this worry would naturally no longer exist. However, in the battle the day before yesterday, this Liang cavalry had already demonstrated extremely strong combat power.

If the Tibetan Front Guards made another surprise attack and cooperated with the fresh troops in the Guping camp, Zhang Qingbai could not guarantee that he would win again.

It was extremely quiet in the commander's tent, and the generals were waiting for Zhang Qingbai's decision.

After a long time, he finally nodded solemnly and said, "I'll do as you say."

Guo Qiyun was overjoyed and quickly stood up and said with his hands in his hands: "General, please rest assured, the general will definitely bring Pei Yue's head back this time."

Zhang Qingbai nodded slightly. He made this decision not just to kill the Tibetan front guards. The point was not whether the Tibetan front guards would go north to make a surprise attack, but not to give them this opportunity.

Even if Guo Qiyun never met the Zangfeng Guards, Zhang Qingbai was confident that he could capture the Guping Camp with more than 60,000 elite soldiers under his command.

He looked at Guo Qiyun and said: "Tomorrow morning, you personally lead five thousand cavalry south along the west side of the rift valley, and then guard near the southern entrance. Don't give Pei Yue another chance."

Guo Qiyun said solemnly: "General, I will obey the order!"

Zhang Qingbai looked at the young general sitting at the bottom on the right and said: "Qi Hui, how is the battle situation at Jiming Village?"

Qi Hui stood up and replied: "General, I just received a message from the fast horse. General Zuo estimates that Jiming Village will be captured within five days."

Zhang Qingbai frowned and said: "It's too slow. Go to Jiming Village in person and tell Zuo Sheng that you must capture Jiming Village within three days, otherwise don't come to see me."

"The general will obey the order!"

"Just go."

Zhang Qingbai waved his hand, his eyes stayed on the sand table in the center of the handsome tent, stood up and walked slowly closer.

All the generals in the tent also stood up.

"Guping Camp must be taken down."

Zhang Qingbai seemed to be talking to himself, but his tone was very solemn. After a moment of silence, he said again: "What happened in the camp?"

The reason why there was no offensive yesterday was because the Zangfengwei's sword was too sharp and Zhang Qingbai had to spend some time adjusting the morale of the army. The most important reason was that the situation in the Guping Camp was very strange. It seemed that there was unrest in the city.

, but it has yet to lead to a bigger riot. Zhang Qingbai is extremely cautious in using troops and will not act rashly until he gets accurate information.

However, what was even more strange was that after the movement in the city disappeared, there was no detailed secret message from him.

Not many people in Daliang really understand Xiwu's obsession with Hucheng, let alone how many details they have deployed in the past ten years. After Lu Min arrived in Lingzhou, Zhang Qingbai could almost accurately grasp the opponent's actions, so

How could he be defeated?

However, the Guping camp seemed to have become an inaccessible dead place from yesterday to now, and no news came from it.

All the generals looked at each other, and even Guo Qiyun had a look of worry on his face.

Zhang Qingbai calmed down and continued: "Xiao Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, is holding on to Tucheng and is still able to endure the current situation. I always feel that the conspiracy here is too strong. With his experience and ability, he can't stand it anymore."

In addition, there are nearly 100,000 elite soldiers in the city, so we will definitely not be overwhelmed by 40,000 cavalry."

Guo Qiyun probed: "Could it be that he wants to wait for the defenders in the city to defeat us, and then come out to settle the matter?"

Zhang Qingbai shook his head and said: "It's not that simple. In any case, tomorrow the infantry will attack the Guping camp first, and I want to test the strength of the opponent's reinforcements."

"Follow the order!"

All the generals stood upright and shouted in unison.

Early the next morning, the horn sounded again on the battlefield that had been quiet for two days, and the elite infantry of the Wu army began to attack the city.

After watching on the chariot for half an hour, Zhang Qingbai frowned deeply. Liang Jun was still responsible for defending the city from the Peking Army's Beida Battalion, and the commander was Qi Yunhou Yinwei, but he couldn't see half of the reinforcements at all.

shadow.

The rift valley to the south was also very quiet, and Pei Yue's Tibetan Front Guards were nowhere to be seen.

Zhang Qingbai wanted to pull out a thread from this strange and complicated situation, but what he faced was a huge web woven with thousands of threads, and he couldn't find a place to start.

He suddenly remembered the tactics of the Tibetan Front Guards before, plundering Dawu grain and grass on the Gaoyang Plain, as if entering an uninhabited land.

"not good!"
