456 [Take a City]
Those who came out to greet Guo Qiyun were the infantry chief Du Changqing and the young general Qi Hui.
Du Changqing looked at Guo Qiyun, who looked unkind, and the slightly tired Kuidou camp cavalry behind him, and said in surprise: "Why are you here so soon?"
Guo Qiyun was slightly startled.
Qi Hui hurriedly said: "About two hours ago, we discovered the traces of the Tibetan Front Guard Cavalry. General Du quickly ordered a suspension of the siege, and used infantry formations to deal with the Tibetan Front Guard Cavalry. At the same time, we also had to guard against the attack of the defenders in Jiming Village.
.The news from the northern front said that Pei Yue is the best at this kind of tactics, so we have to be careful."
Only then did Guo Qiyun understand, and at the same time he felt a little better. Since the Tibetan Front Guards had indeed arrived, Kuidou Camp's urgent march was not in vain.
Du Changqing added: "I immediately sent someone to the general to report the news. I didn't expect you to show up suddenly. I guess the general also guessed this possibility?"
Guo Qiyun nodded, and then asked impatiently: "Where is the Zangfeng Guard?"
Du Changqing and Qi Hui's expressions became a little strange at the same time, and the latter smiled bitterly: "I don't know."
Guo Qiyun's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Don't know?"
Du Changqing sighed: "They did not approach Jiming Village and appeared about ten miles away in the south. Our scouts were almost shot by them, but luckily they escaped. After receiving the news, I immediately ordered the soldiers to stop attacking the city, and then
Be prepared to meet the enemy. However, the enemy never showed up, so I had to send out scouts again to investigate, but they were no longer where they were and seemed to have retreated."
Guo Qiyun asked: "How many people are there in this cavalry?"
Du Changqing said: "The situation was critical at that time, and the scouts only made a rough estimate, the number of people was about five to six thousand."
Guo Qiyun frowned and said, "That's why you don't dare to attack the city now."
Qi Hui replied: "Brother Guo, you know the strength of the Zangfeng Guards. Even if there are only five or six thousand people, if they attack the rear while we are attacking the city, the situation will be very dangerous, and we have to guard against it."
Guo Qiyun said angrily: "What are you afraid of when Kuidou Camp is here? Immediately organize and deploy the attack on the city. If the Tibetan Front Guards dare to come, I will definitely deal with them!"
Du Changqing and Qi Hui looked at each other, because they could tell that the five thousand cavalrymen in Kuidou camp were not in the same condition as usual. After all, they had to march for more than two hours. Even if the men could hold on, their mounts could not.
How can the cavalry charge without their mounts?
Du Changqing had no choice but to persuade: "General Guo, it's getting dark now, why not take a rest for the night, I will definitely capture Jiming Village tomorrow!"
Guo Qiyun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, please General Du to prepare some water for my subordinates to eat."
"Okay, I'll have someone do it right away."
The three of them returned to the infantry camp together. Guo Qiyun couldn't help but have two drinks during dinner. He originally wanted to sleep comfortably, but he was suddenly woken up in the middle of the night.
Guo Qiyun was naturally a little dissatisfied, but when he saw the soldiers beside Zhang Qingbai suddenly appearing in front of him, he suddenly woke up.
"General Guo, nine hours ago, the camp near Wufengzhai was attacked by the Tibetan Front Guard Cavalry. The number was about 6,000. The general ordered people to immediately lead troops to support." The soldier said with a solemn expression.
It was the most important camp on the southern front of the Wu army, where countless supplies of food, grass and weapons were stored. Although Zhang Qingbai deliberately left 20,000 troops to guard the camp, if the camp was breached by the Tibetan front guards, even if they just rushed in and set a few fires, it would be
Wu Jun could not bear the loss.
Anyway, there is no need for the five thousand cavalry of Kuidou Camp in the frontal battlefield, so naturally they should be used to deal with the Tibetan Front Guards.
Guo Qiyun was completely awake. After agreeing, he immediately put on his armor and at the same time gritted his teeth and cursed: "I will cut Pei Yue into pieces with a thousand knives!"
He was not afraid at all of Pei Yue and Zang Fengwei, who had already gained a reputation, but the other side did not give him a chance to fight, and blindly targeted Zhang Qingbai's weaknesses. What kind of shameless behavior was this?
"Go back and report to the General. I will not be led by the Tibetan Front Guards. The Gaoyang Plain is so vast and he has too many targets to choose from. We cannot just rescue wherever he hits. That would be too passive. I am now
I will lead troops to the main camp, but then I will ask the Hucheng side to mobilize a cavalry, find a way to catch the tail of the Tibetan front guards, and then defeat them in one fell swoop!"
Guo Qiyun said fiercely but carefully.
The soldier was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly: "General, he——"
Guo Qiyun waved his hand to interrupt him and said in a deep voice: "The general will understand what I mean! I will leave the hidden front guard to me. Please don't worry, general!"
"Yes!" the soldier responded loudly, and then left quickly.
Guo Qiyun said goodbye to Du Changqing and Qi Hui, reminded them to be careful of the Tibetan Front Guard Cavalry that had appeared in the south, and then led Kuidou Camp to continue westward.
To the west of Jiming Village are Wufeng Village and Tribulus Village, the former is located in the north and the latter is located in the south.
Zhang Qingbai's base camp is not far to the east of Wufeng Village. Just because Wufeng Village is the smallest of the nine military villages, it cannot be used as a base camp. However, there is running water nearby, so it becomes the main force of the army.
Camp.
The attack by the Tibetan Front Guards occurred at noon during the day. The sudden appearance of the cavalry almost broke through the gate of the camp. If the defender had not been very decisive, Zhang Qingbai would have been furious.
Although the opponent's offensive stopped after more than half an hour, what the defender still couldn't figure out was why the cavalry captured dozens of Wu soldiers.
He could only immediately send Qingqi to report to Zhang Qingbai outside the Guping camp.
After being captured, the dozens of Wu soldiers endured unimaginable torture. In the end, a dozen of them couldn't bear it anymore and told everything they knew, including Wu Jun's latest password.
At dawn before dawn, in Lulong Village, a hundred miles north of Wufeng Village, the soldiers guarding the city suddenly discovered dozens of comrades appearing under the city.
They claimed to be the defenders of Wufeng Camp. Liang Jun's cavalry was attacking the camp, and they were ordered to come for help.
Today, the south of the Gaoyang Plain has long been the sphere of influence of the Wu Army. Although the appearance of a Liang Army cavalry surprised the defenders on the city, after checking the armor of these comrades, their passwords and the secret letter personally written by the camp defender,
He then ordered the village gate to be opened to let these people in.
The guard personally came to the door and walked towards the burly man who claimed to be the commander of the camp. As he walked, he frowned and asked, "Where did the Liang Jun cavalry come from?"
What greeted him was the captain's kind smile and the sudden raising of his long sword.
"Send the signal!"
He slashed the guard to death with one blow and roared loudly at the same time.
A fireworks display exploded into the night at the darkest moment, and the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance!
The defenders finally came to their senses, and an extremely brutal fight broke out at the gate of the village. However, Chen Xianda led a group of martial arts masters to tightly occupy the open gate.
More than ten miles away, the eight thousand cavalry of the Tibetan Front Guard charged rapidly under the leadership of Pei Yue.
He held the long knife with a calm expression.
Half an hour later, Lulong Village, which was the closest to Hucheng in the southern military stronghold system, was breached.
Liang Jun had suffered two defeats near this military stronghold, losing more than 50,000 men, and tonight he could finally wash away part of his humiliation.
