Invincible son

Chapter 412 411 [Sweeping] ([-])
"What are you thinking about?"

In the clear afternoon sun, Ye Qi sat on the horse, tilted his head slightly to look at Pei Yue and asked.

Although she hadn't seen him for only half a month, she clearly felt that Pei Yue had changed a lot—not that he had a sudden change in personality, but that there was a bit of murderous intent in his originally calm and peaceful temperament.This did not surprise Ye Qi, because the experience officer of the Longbow camp told her in detail what happened in the past half month.

Yang Yingji was impartial and did not ignore any details of what happened to Pei Yue, and even asked Ye Qi to convey his apology to Pei Yue at the end of the conversation.

Apparently, the middle-aged man who was born in the Duke's Mansion of the Fallen Kingdom has realized how magnificent Pei Yue's plan is.

Although Ye Qi was not interested in military affairs, she felt very happy when Yang Yingji praised Pei Yue, so after the meeting, she paid close attention to Pei Yue's emotions.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about a primary school math problem." Pei Yue replied subconsciously.

"Elementary school? Mathematics?" Ye Qi asked puzzled.

The fully formed Zang Fengwei and eight thousand infantry marched in the direction of Xishanzhai, and the speed was not fast, because Pei Yue had to let the mount have time to breathe, and at the same time take care of the foot strength of the infantry.Anyway, this slope is only more than 30 miles away from Xishanzhai, so we won't waste too much time on the road.

Since it was not in a state of rapid march during wartime, the generals would not crowd around Pei Yue, let alone disturb Ye Qi after seeing him.The young man and woman were in the center of the team, and the surrounding subordinates consciously kept a little distance away, so they couldn't hear their conversation.

Pei Yue came back to his senses, smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'm calculating Xie Lin's strength."

After Ye Qi confirmed his relationship with Pei Yue, he occasionally heard some weird words from his mouth, but he didn't take it to heart, but asked with concern: "Is there anything wrong?"

Pei Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "According to the information Shen Danmo gave me, Xie Lin has 13 cavalry and 4 infantry, a total of 8 troops. Now he has 1 cavalry in the north of Hucheng. He also lost some troops in the seven-way offensive, counting the knife that the Tibetan front guard stabbed him in the waist, and killed no more than [-] people, but now there are only [-] people outside Xishanzhai, and more than [-] people are missing."

Ye Qi looked at the worried look on his brows, and said rather distressedly: "You don't have to worry too much, maybe there will be some discrepancies in these numbers, and 1 people can't decide the outcome of a battle."

Pei Yue has always respected her views, but this time he did not agree, and shook his head slightly: "Human life is at stake, I can't think about it."

In the eyes of outsiders, he has been extremely beautiful during this time, and the soldiers around him respect him like a god, even the pawns who appeared today will look at him with reverence, even their chief generals have the same attitude.However, only Ye Qi could see the mountainous pressure on Pei Yue's shoulders at the moment when they reunited after the farewell.

She already knew from Yang Yingji's words that Pei Yue personally planned the general situation of the battle on the northern front, and after receiving the permission of Tang Youzhi, Marquis of Ji Ning, he made bold moves and overcame obstacles all the way.But if this battle is defeated, not only the lives of tens of thousands of troops will be lost, but also the entire northern defense line will be lost. Lingzhou will be exposed to the sight of Western Wu cavalry, and then the lives will be ruined.

Perhaps for some people, such an opportunity is once in a thousand years. Being able to preside over a decisive battle of more than [-] people as a commander is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes, and it is also a ladder for smooth progress from now on.But Ye Qi knew in his heart that Pei Yue would not think so, of course he also wanted to win this battle, and also wanted to be promoted to become a big man, but he would not ignore the lives of those ordinary soldiers.

During the war, he has no way to ensure that everyone can survive, after all, there are lessons from ancient times to the present that kindness does not control soldiers.

But he hopes that he can try his best to do his best, even if it is just one less death, it is worth all the energy.

After a moment of silence, Ye Qi smiled and said, "Can you tell me, where exactly did you find the eight thousand pawns?"

Pei Yue looked at her slightly surprised, because he knew that Ye Qi was not interested in these things.

Ye Qi remembered what he had seen and heard in the Longbow Camp, and couldn't help but laugh: "That Master Yang is also interesting. He thought I knew what you thought, but he didn't dare to ask him directly, so he could only make indirect remarks. It can be seen that he He is not good at this, and his speaking skills are also very poor. I heard from Wei Rui that he is still a fourth-rank official, quite different from those high-ranking officials, so there are also good officials in the imperial court?"

Pei Yue smiled knowingly, and did not correct Ye Qi's concept that "as long as the clothes are simple and the appearance is ordinary, you are a good official", he said indifferently: "Only Tang Dashuai and I know about this matter. Others may know part of it, but they won't guess it." An overall strategy. In fact, when I was in Linqing County, I have been thinking about the situation on the northern front, maybe you still have some impressions."

Ye Qi nodded and said: "I remember, you stayed in the study all day in those days."

Pei Yue said with some gratitude: "I thought I was working behind closed doors. I didn't expect Marshal Tang to agree with my idea. The situation on the northern front is very clear. The Western Wu people have the upper hand and stronger mobility. It is very difficult to fight a beautiful victory." Difficult. Marshal Tang leading troops to support Xishan Village is a good move, which created enough space for me, because he, as the defender, held back Xie Lin's army."

Ye Qi asked curiously: "So, where did the soldiers come from?"

Pei Yue lowered his voice and said: "Xie Lin knew our situation and was sure that we had no reinforcements. That's why he made up his mind to fight us in Xishanzhai. With twice the force, plus his cavalry has an absolute advantage, no matter what A general dares to do this. But he never thought that 3 of the [-] cavalry will be allocated to guard Tiger City. In the early stage of the entanglement, I lost nearly [-], and now I have killed the most elite five Qianrui Gold Battalion. Now he only has [-] cavalry at full strength, but we also have [-], such a gap is not enough for him to be sure of victory."

He smiled slightly and continued: "So the key to this decisive battle is the pawns!"

Ye Qi seemed to understand but didn't understand, and Fuzhi said in his heart: "Is this the math problem you mentioned?"

If it weren't for the march, Pei Yue would definitely hold her hand for a while, but now he can only smack his lips regretfully, nod his head and say: "In terms of infantry, the strength of the Longbow Army surpasses that of the Frontier Army, and their strength is not weak. Now Tang Youzhi has 6000 infantry, and Xishanzhai has 6, which is quite a lot compared to the nearly [-] in Xie Lin's hands."

Ye Qi looked at him in confusion, not understanding why 6000 people were more than 6.

Pei Yue pointed to the [-] infantry around him, and said with a mysterious smile: "Counting the [-], we have a total of [-] reinforcements. Who do you think has the upper hand?"

Returning to the original puzzle, Ye Qi asked persistently, "Where did these 3 people come from?"

Pei Yue looked up at the clear sky, and solved the mystery with a calm expression: "It's on this vast plain."

It took Ye Qi a long time to understand this sentence, and he finally knew what Pei Yue was doing during this time.

She seemed disgusted but actually said appreciatively: "You are too cunning!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Pei Yue cupped his fists at her, glanced at the sky, and suddenly shouted loudly: "The whole army speeds up, aiming at Xishan Village!"
