"Lulong Stronghold was destroyed, Xishui Stronghold was destroyed, and the camp was almost lost. The opponent was just a cavalry force. What on earth are you losers doing?"

Zhang Qingbai has never been so out of control.

Unlike Xie Lin, who was born in a poor family, he is a child of the top martial arts family in Western Wu. He has received the most rigorous and comprehensive training in the art of war since he was a child. Even though he cannot practice martial arts due to physical reasons, he quickly rose to prominence in the army.

What really gave him a firm foothold in the army was the battle fifteen years ago. Pei Zhen, Marquis of Dingyuan of Liang State, led his army deep into the Gaoyang Plain. The first battle was to attack Liucheng where Zhang Qingbai was stationed.

That was the first loss Pei Zhen suffered. Different from the subsequent false defeats, he really wanted to take the lead in Liucheng at first, but he hit a hard wall in front of Zhang Qingbai.

The thirty-year-old Zhang Qingbai used his flawless defense to prevent Pei Zhen from gaining anything, but lost his troops. Although he later reversed the situation by taking Hucheng, Zhang Qingbai's rise was unstoppable.

From that time on, Emperor Xi Wu paid more and more attention to him, and even specially dispatched palace guards to protect his safety.

With such grace and favor, and the fact that Zhang Qingbai was so wealthy, people around him had not seen him look so angry for many years.

Everyone held their breath and stood upright, no one dared to speak at this time.

Zhang Qingbai looked at Qi Hui who was standing in the hall and was extremely nervous, and said angrily: "How many people are there in the Zangfeng Guards?"

Qi Hui said respectfully: "At least there are more than 12,000 people."

Zhang Qingbai's eyes were cold and his face was livid, and he sneered: "In other words, you still don't know how many people there are on the other side?"

Qi Hui's voice was trembling: "The cavalry that first appeared in Jiming Village and then attacked Xishui Village was about 6,000 people, and those who attacked the camp were about 6,000 people. No one in Lulong Village escaped, but it is possible that they were

The six thousand men who attacked the camp made a surprise attack all night."

Although he was extremely rude today, Zhang Qingbai had not been carried away by his anger. His voice suddenly calmed down, but also became more terrifying: "Lulong Village is more than a hundred miles away from the camp. Do you want to say that these 6,000 people are still alive in the afternoon?"

They were fighting, and then they ran for hundreds of miles all night without stopping, and then they attacked Lulong Village and captured it in one fell swoop?"

Qi Hui's hands were so tense that they were clenched tightly. He was the nephew of Zhang Qingbai's wife, and he was very afraid of this elder who was not close to him. In the military, he never dared to rely on this relationship to dominate.

It can be said to be extremely cautious.

The reason is very simple. Zhang Qingbai is extremely strict in running the army, and those who violate military law will be beheaded directly. The emperor will not care about these trivial matters at all, but will support him even more.

After a moment of silence, Qi Hui said in a trembling voice: "Maybe 20,000 people."

The atmosphere in the tent became extremely heavy and solemn.

There is a qualitative difference between 10,000 people and 20,000 people, especially since Pei Yue has always been unscrupulous in his wars. They are all familiar with the stories of the Northern Front battlefield. If there are not strong enough constraints, this guy can use 20,000 people to play on the Gaoyang Plain.

Flowers come!

At present, it seems that Guo Qiyun, who is in charge of Kuidou Camp, is very brave, but if he is playing tricks, he is obviously no match for the Pei family.

Some people couldn't help but sigh, "That guy is said to be only eighteen years old. How can his mind be as unfathomable as that of a thousand-year-old monster?"

Zhang Qingbai had no time to think about this. Now before him was an extremely serious question: Should he withdraw his troops?

If the Guping Camp cannot be defeated in one day, his 70,000 troops will have to be dragged here. If the Zangfeng Guards are allowed to continue to be so elusive, it won't be long before the entire military system is recaptured by him, even the vicinity of Jiming Village

His 30,000 troops will also be eaten by him!

But if you retreat at this time, it means that all your previous efforts have been wasted, and Liang Guo will definitely replenish the Guping defense line in a very short time. As time goes by, it will become more and more difficult to supply food, grass and baggage to Xiwu, and the northern line will

Having failed, the southern front fell into a swamp again, and this march could only end in failure.

If I had known that this variable was so troublesome, I should have killed him at all costs after the initial attack on Jiming Village failed.

It's a pity that there is no what if in the world.

After a long silence, Zhang Qingbai returned to the commander's seat and said with a bit of disappointment: "Qi Hui, you should go to the south of Hucheng immediately, bring my handwritten letter to the Marquis of Qucheng and Lu Dingguo, and tell them that they can relax for the time being.

To suppress the Hucheng, the Tibetan front guards must be eliminated in the shortest possible time."

Everyone was shocked.

In terms of the overall strategy, the northern and southern fronts attack at the same time and use the most powerful cavalry to frighten the Hucheng defenders. This is a complete system. Now that the northern front has retreated and the southern front has fallen into a quagmire, any further relaxation of the attack

Without the control of Tiger City, the direction of the war will become even more confusing.

Either Zhang Qingbai can capture the Guping Camp in the shortest time, take the entire military system into his hands, and then free up his hands to deal with the Zangfeng Guards, or the Zangfeng Guards can drag them to death.

Qi Hui swallowed his saliva, saw Zhang Qingbai's indifferent gaze, and quickly stood up and said: "Follow the order!"

Zhang Qingbai still maintains a calm expression, but who can know what kind of turmoil is in his heart?

…

Lulong Village.

The eight thousand cavalrymen of the Tibetan Front Guard were full of energy after resting for a whole day. Pei Yue stood on the city wall and looked at the vast Gaoyang Plain. The chill of early winter did not make him feel cold, but instead there was a fire burning in his heart.

"Sir, does Zhang Qingbai really know how to mobilize the Tiger City cavalry?" Gao Linfen asked curiously and cautiously.

Pei Yue smiled softly and said calmly: "I have studied Zhang Qingbai's resume. This person has a somewhat contradictory temperament. Most of the time, he is very cautious, and he is extremely disciplined in his military use. But at certain extremely critical moments,

He will appear to be very stubborn, even to the point of paranoia. Now he is being held back by the Guping Camp. If I were him, he would definitely abandon the camp immediately and turn around to gather all his strength to deal with the Zangfeng Guards."

Gao Linfen hesitated and said: "If this is the case, wouldn't all the previous efforts have been in vain? And there will be dangers in retreating hastily."

Pei Yue shook his head and said calmly: "What's the danger? Leaving 10,000 soldiers and horses behind is enough to block the coveting eyes of the defenders in the city. Even I understand the principle of not pursuing a poor enemy, doesn't he understand? Of course,

Zhang Qingbai is not worried about this

This is a danger. He just can't let go of the Guping Camp. If he captures it, he can occupy the gateway to Lingzhou, which means that the southern route strategy is half successful. How can he be willing to give up? Since the army cannot return to defense, what else can he do besides the Hucheng cavalry?

Who to transfer?”

Gao Linfen nodded convinced and asked: "Then we should stick to Lulong Village and attract the opponent's cavalry in Hucheng to attack?"

Pei Yue took a deep breath, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let me know, the preparations will be completed before sunset, and we will leave the city and head north."

Gao Linfen was surprised: "Going north?"
Chapter completed!
