Below Jiangling Castle.

As the two thousand men led by Pei Yue jumped out of the encirclement of the Southern Zhou cavalry, the situation suddenly became clearer.

Dingshan Camp and Langtu Camp are both elite cavalry, but it is obviously impossible to surround the battle-hardened Tibetan Front Guards with only 5,000 men. Especially the area outside the city is very suitable for cavalry.

Mercedes-Benz, Pei Yue never thought about fighting to the death with the opponent from the beginning. What he had to do was very simple, get rid of the nearest Jinwu Guard, and then block the other two cavalry, giving the Jiangling City defenders enough time.

Eliminate the enemy.

The Southern Zhou army has arrived, and the war has begun.

Although the plan to seize the city has failed, Fang Xiexiao has never given up his plan to attack by force in these years, so this time he was very comprehensively prepared, with 70,000 troops from the Chengbei Camp, and 30,000 infantry transferred from elsewhere.

, coupled with the Pingjiang camp and these two cavalry forces as the core force, the total strength reached about 110,000.

In addition, all siege equipment is available, which shows that Fang Xiexiao worked hard for a long time just to recapture Jiangling City.

For the Southern Zhou Dynasty, this was a last resort decision. With Beiliang's great victory over Wu and the northwest border no longer worrying in a few years, Emperor Kaiping would inevitably turn his attention to the south. At this time, the three cities of Jiangling became more and more important.

Importantly, as long as the Dingzhou Navy can hold that stretch of water, the Beiliang frontier army can continuously use Jiangling City as a bridgehead and invade the Great Zhou Kingdom like a torrent.

Placing the destiny of the country on the marriage is tantamount to wishful thinking. The best strategy is of course to capture the important town of Jiangling and control the war on the Tiancang River. With the absolute superiority of the Southern Zhou Navy, it will be extremely difficult for Beiliang to cross the river to attack.

But for the Southern Zhou army, there was something very disharmonious on the battlefield at this time.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, Fang Xiexiao, who was dressed in military uniform, looked at the Beiliang cavalry that was moving slowly in the northwest corner, frowned slightly and said: "Pei Yue is indeed very courageous."

You must know that with the arrival of the army, Jiangling City will definitely fall into siege. Pei Yue and his cavalry have been isolated and helpless. No matter how strong this cavalry is, they only have about 2,000 people after all, and they have no choice.

How much morale can we retain in the long run if we receive no reinforcements and supplies?

Although he made such a choice in order to protect Jiangling City Gate, everyone knows that the son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. Pei Yue can still make such a choice now that he is in a high position. Even if Fang Xiexiao stands on

His opposite side was still surprised and somewhat admired.

Fang Yuntian said calmly: "Commander Father, now that he has lost his face, the general believes that the first task is to attack Jiangling City as soon as possible. As for Pei Yue, he can ignore it. This person is full of tricks. If you focus on him, you will inevitably be

He leads the way."

Fang Xie Xiao nodded and said, "That makes sense."

He suppressed the doubts in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Send the order, the Langtu Battalion and the Dingshan Battalion are responsible for chasing the cavalry. They don't want to annihilate them, they just need to drive them away from the battlefield. They have only one mission, and that is to never let this cavalry go.

A group of cavalry is out of sight, let alone allowing them to harass the town."

The herald took the order and left.

Seeing Dingshan Camp and Langtu Camp behind him suddenly start to accelerate, Pei Yue said calmly: "Let's go."

Start heading west until you are completely out of the battlefield.

As the three cavalry groups chased away one after another, the Southern Zhou army formed a formation outside Jiangling City.

On top of the city, Baoding Bo Cai Qian looked at the Zangfeng guards who were gradually retreating, and said to Li Jin beside him: "Marquis Pei should bring more people."

He knew that there were 5,000 Tibetan front guards who came to the southern border this time, and only 1,000 of them were hiding in Jiangling City. The remaining 4,000 were missing. Although Pei Yue did not express his thoughts, as a veteran on the battlefield, Cai Qian

You can probably guess what the other party is thinking, which is to use this extremely powerful cavalry to disrupt the internal defense lines of Southern Zhou, so that Fang Xiexiao can't look after each other.

As long as the cavalry led by Pei Yue continues to harass Southern Zhou towns, Fang Xiexiao will have to bear a lot of pressure. At that time, he will face a difficult choice, whether to continue to attack Jiangling City with heavy troops, or to gather forces to solve the problem within his own side first.

Pei Yue went on a rampage.

Of course, Pei Yue took great risks in doing this. If he was really surrounded by the Southern Zhou army, even Emperor Kaiping might not be able to save him.

That's why Cai Qian had this worry.

Li Jin smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, Marquis Zhongshan must have his purpose in doing this."

Cai Qian did not continue this topic because the burden on his shoulders at the moment was not easy.

A hundred thousand troops surrounded Jiangling, and dark clouds pressed down on the city, threatening to destroy it.

Under the city, Fang Xiexiao stared at the towering city wall in the distance and said word by word: "Get ready to attack the city!"

…

Whether it is Fang Huai, the commander of the Langtu Camp, or Fang Yunsong, the commander of the Dingshan Camp, they are both experienced veterans, so they did not choose to pursue with all their strength from the beginning. Instead, they paid attention to controlling the speed, and stayed in the distance.

Hidden behind the front guard.

These two cavalrymen pursued from two directions, constantly forcing the Tibetan front guards to move toward the southwest.

While running, Tang Linfen said loudly: "Master Marquis, to the southwest is the boundary of Ningzhou in Southern Zhou Dynasty."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Speed ​​up."

As the Zangfeng Guards became faster and faster, the gap between them and the pursuers began to show. Whether it was the foot strength of the mounts or the skills of the soldiers in controlling horses, the Zangfeng Guards were stronger than the Southern Zhou cavalry, so the distance

getting bigger and bigger.

By the time Fang Huai and Fang Yunsong realized something was wrong, it was no longer possible to catch up with the Zangfeng Wei.

Half an hour later, looking at the empty road ahead, Fang Huai turned his horse and rushed towards Dingshan Camp. When he came to Fang Yunsong, he frowned and said, "Second Young Master, what on earth does Pei Yue want to do? Does he think he wants to do that?"

Can you attack a city with just two thousand cavalry?"

Fang Yunsong said in a deep voice: "My father has already sent orders to all the towns on the border and will not give him this opportunity."

Fang Huai said: "The mount's legs are not strong enough, so I'm afraid it won't be able to catch up with the opponent."

Fang Yunsong said unhurriedly: "Their horses also need to rest. Besides, this is in our territory. They probably just want to get rid of us for a short time and get a chance to breathe. I heard from my fourth brother that Pei Yue was smart in battle."

He is full of tricks and is especially good at pretending to escape in order to win. So don't worry, we will just follow the traces on the ground."

When he mentioned the words "fourth brother", his eyes couldn't help but darken, and at the same time there was undisguised hatred.

Fang Huai nodded and said: "Yes, now he has become a turtle in the urn, and sooner or later he will become a soul killed by the sword."

The two cavalrymen continued to move forward. After a while, Fang Yunsong suddenly frowned and said, "Not good."

Fang Huai asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Fang Yunsong reined in the horse suddenly, turned to look at the way he came, gritted his teeth and said: "Return the carbine!"
