455 [Tie a knot]
"General, I wonder what you are worried about?" a counselor next to him asked with confusion on his face.
In his opinion, although the defenders of Guping Camp were tenacious, their morale was still high, and it was only a matter of time before they captured this important town.
Zhang Qingbai frowned and said in a cold tone: "The Zangfeng Guards must have gone to Jiming Village."
All the relatives and followers couldn't believe it. The Guping camp was already crumbling. That fierce cavalry still dared to go deep into the Gaoyang Plain to rescue a Jiming Village that had actually lost its core role?
Zhang Qingbai showed a trace of hesitation, but he quickly calmed it down and said in a deep voice: "Send an order to Guo Qiyun and ask him to immediately bring five thousand elite cavalry to protect Jiming Village. Kuidou Camp has five thousand cavalry left to protect the flanks of the formation.
Defending Tibet, the front guard sounds from the east and attacks from the west."
"Follow the order!"
The herald flew away.
Zhang Qingbai turned to look at the Guping camp and said with a little disappointment: "Go ahead and tell Cui Hu that if he can't take the military city in front of him today, he won't have to come to see me again."
"Follow the order!"
Another herald quickly came to the front of the position and found Cui Hu, the captain of ten thousand men, who was commanding the infantry. He repeated Zhang Qingbai's words with a cold face, and then stood aside and stared at him.
Cui Hu has a lean figure and a sallow complexion, and has the unique appearance of people from Liaozhou in the northern border of Western Wu.
He straightened his body and replied: "General, please rest assured, I will definitely complete the military orders."
The 10,000 infantrymen under his command were the main force in the siege today. They did not participate in the siege battle the day before yesterday, nor did they engage in a head-on confrontation with the Tibetan front guards. It could be said that they had been recharging their energy for a long time and were at the peak of their combat power. Originally,
He thought that even if the opponent had reinforcements, he could capture the city within two hours. However, he did not expect that after more than an hour, his subordinates were still unable to board the city!
"Damn it, give me the personal barracks!"
Cui Hu cursed fiercely while looking at the defenders on the city wall involuntarily. Judging from the uniforms and weapons, this was still the Liang Guojing army that had suffered defeat at their hands before. Why did it suddenly become so tough?
?
Under the west tower of Guping Military City, Qi Yunhou Yinwei sat on a square chair and looked at the city indifferently.
Now the one responsible for defending the city is indeed the Peking Army's Beida Battalion. The original Guping Army was really useless. It had been harmed by Ning Zhong for several years, and its combat effectiveness had long since deteriorated extremely seriously.
But without Lu Min's suppression and interference, he was finally able to fully control this Beijing army that he had devoted countless efforts to. Although the Beida Battalion received the worst treatment among the three battalions and was the weakest in the eyes of the world, he did not think so. Being
Lu Min sold nearly half of the main force, but the Beijing army still did not collapse, which is enough to illustrate their resilience and perseverance.
Lu Min committed suicide. The happiest people must be these Beijing army soldiers, because they have gradually come to their senses. The tragic defeat in the Lulong Battle was all caused by this right-wing military plane. Those who died in the battle were all their comrades who lived with them day and night.
, how could they not have hatred in their hearts? How could they not want to wash away the shame of losing 20,000 people in the First World War?
Therefore, today's siege battle encountered their fiercest counterattack. Cui Hu simply did not understand why the defenders on the city wall had such high morale.
Yin Wei looked at the tens of thousands of troops from Western Wu under the city, and looked beyond them to pay attention to Zhang Qingbai's army.
He knew why the other party did not make a desperate move because the reinforcements had arrived, so Zhang Qingbai also wanted to test how many troops there were in the city. As Silent Cloud personally took control of the city, the elite crows from Taishitai Pavilion launched a large-scale inspection. In the past two days, the city had been inspected
Dozens of spies came out, and all of them were directly beheaded. At the same time, Silent Cloud organized the most stringent defense measures. Even if there were still missing spies in the city, he would never be able to pass on the news.
Therefore, Zhang Qingbai had to be careful in testing.
But he could never guess where half of the reinforcements in the city were.
This is a big gamble.
Yin Wei couldn't help but sigh, that boy's courage was indeed extraordinary.
…
Behind a hillside somewhere on the south side of the Rift Valley, the 5,000 elite cavalrymen of the Kuidou Battalion had ceased their activities, and hundreds of patrol sentries were sent out to the east and north. Guo Qiyun's solemn face showed a trace of nervousness. He came up with this strategy after two days of hard thinking.
, so I extremely hope that Zangfengwei will really go north along the rift valley, and that will become his credit.
From early morning until now, the rift valley in the distance has always been quiet. Apart from the chirping of birds, animals and insects, not a single person has appeared.
He was destined to wait for nothing, because just six hours ago in the middle of the night, the Zangfeng Guards had already set foot on the Gaoyang Plain along the path not far to the south.
At this moment, several sentries led a herald to the back of the hillside.
Guo Qiyun recognized that it was the person next to Zhang Qingbai, and quickly stepped forward and asked, "What are your orders, General?"
The herald said: "General Guo, the general has ordered you to immediately lead five thousand cavalry to the aid of Jiming Village."
Guo Qiyun reacted immediately and said in shock: "The Zangfeng Guards went to Jiming Village?"
The herald had some friendship with him, so he nodded and said: "This is the general's judgment. After all, the siege has lasted for more than an hour. The defenders are still Liang Guojing's army. The cavalry did not show up. It is most likely that they were
Go and relieve the crisis in Jiming Village."
"Damn it, you're so cunning!"
Guo Qiyun cursed bitterly. He didn't know whether he was worried about his comrades who attacked Jiming Village, or he was angry because his plan failed.
The herald sighed: "General Guo, it's not too late."
Guo Qiyun came to his senses, nodded quickly and said: "Please tell the general that I will go to Jiming Village right away!"
Kuidou Camp's five thousand cavalry set off immediately, galloping all the way to the west.
After walking for more than twenty miles, the cavalry in front sent back news that traces of large-scale cavalry could indeed be seen on this road.
Guo Qiyun's eyes were so angry that he roared: "Speed up the speed, we must get to Jiming Village as soon as possible!"
He was well aware of the strength of the Tibetan Front Guards. Even if there were no new reinforcements, considering their remaining 10,000 cavalry, the more than 20,000 infantrymen who attacked Jiming Village would never be a match for this cavalry.
If this infantry was eaten by the Tibetan Front Guards, how could Zhang Qingbai spare him?
"Faster!"
With Guo Qiyun's constant urging, the cavalrymen of Kuidou Camp had to frantically urge their mounts. At this time, they could no longer take into account the mount's leg strength as usual.
When they finally approached Jiming Village, many people's mounts were already showing signs of weakness. Although Kuidou Camp had the conditions for one person and two horses, they were only used when preparing for long-distance marches. Today, they were on the south side of the Rift Valley.
He was in ambush and faced a direct battle at any time, so how could he bring an extra mount with him?
Jiming Village is right in front of you.
However, at this moment, Guo Qiyun's expression was extremely ugly.
