Invincible son

Chapter 461 Chapter 460 [Exquisite One Finger]

Jiming Village.

After being besieged for more than 20 days, more than half of the defenders were lost. Fortunately, food, grass and armaments are still abundant, but I don't know how long they can last.Qin Xian's armor was covered with traces of blood and dust, and he didn't bother to clean it up. After checking the condition of the soldiers in the city, he stepped heavily onto the city wall.

The weather was cold, Xue Meng was carrying a small pot, and occasionally took a sip, his expression looked very satisfied, and at the same time he showed sad eyes, because there was not much wine in the village.Qin Xian strictly forbids drinking alcohol, mainly because the alcohol can be used to help clean the wounds of wounded soldiers.Xue Meng likes to drink, so he quietly hid an altar, filled a small pot every day, and would sneak a sip when no one was around.

Seeing Qin Xian's figure appear, Xue Meng quickly hid the small pot, and then stood upright.

Qin Xian pretended not to notice his little movements, walked up to him and stood still, said in a deep voice, "I'll watch over tonight, you go and rest."

Xue Meng smiled heartily, shook his head and said: "Brother, I am not tired, you should go and rest, after all, you are very worried every day."

Qin Xian said calmly: "It doesn't matter anymore, everything will end soon."

During the period of siege by the Wu army, Jiming Village was completely cut off from the outside world. They didn't know the blood and fire near the Guping camp, nor did they know the specific situation on the Gaoyang Plain today.The turning point came a few days ago, when the Wu army suddenly withdrew to set up camp, and did not attack the city again for several days, so the breathless encirclement finally began to loosen.

In the middle of the night, the guard in charge of the night watch found several letters shot up from outside the city, and hurriedly handed them over to Qin Xian who had just fallen asleep.

The content of the letter was not confidential, and it would not be dangerous even if it was discovered by Wu Jun. It just recounted the whole situation, from the victory in the Northern Front War to the Battle of Guping, and finally mentioned that a large number of reinforcements had arrived, and victory was just around the corner.

Xue Meng smiled and said: "Brother Yue is really powerful, he is now on an equal footing with the battalion commanders."

Qin Xian did not deny his statement, and finally showed a smile and said: "The war on the northern front was really beautiful, so I am looking forward to his next performance."

Xue Meng nodded again and again, just as he was about to speak, he saw Qin Xian rushing to the city wall suddenly, looking very excited.

"Retired!"

Three words came out forcefully from Qin Xian's mouth.

Xue Meng and other soldiers looked down one after another, and sure enough, the Western Wu infantry battalion showed signs of retreating.

At this moment, everyone's faces were filled with the joy of turning a corner, and Xue Meng was very excited. In fact, he was not without a trace of sadness, because Jiming Village was struggling alone, and Pei Yue did not choose to rush to help here after he left. Break through the Wu army's position with 2000 people as before.Of course he knew that Pei Yue was not the kind of heartless and ungrateful person, and he must have considered the overall situation so he didn't come to Jiming Village.

Pei Yue still didn't show up now, but the siege of Jiming Village was easily solved. On the one hand, Xue Meng was ashamed because he had doubted Pei Yue, but also more curious about how this kid did all this?

"Could it be that Zang Fengwei is nearby?" He asked excitedly and puzzled.

Qin Xian finally felt relieved, shook his head and said: "I don't know, but it must be beneficial to us."

Wu Jun moved very quickly. After two hours, five thousand soldiers and horses were responsible for retreating, and the rest of the army began to retreat.

The beam defenders on the city wall cheered resoundingly.

"Northeast direction? Are they going to Guping Camp?" Amid the din, Qin Xian still kept awake.

Xue Meng drank the spirits in the small pot, wiped his mouth and said, "Brother, do we want to catch up?"

Qin Xian shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer."

After another hour, there was no trace of Wu Jun in sight. Suddenly, a group of more than a hundred cavalry wearing Tibetan front guard armor came galloping from the south. Shoot to the head of the city.

Seeing that Qin Xian had received the letter, the little schoolman clasped his fists to salute immediately, and then hurried towards the northeast.

Qin Xian opened the letter and quickly read it, then handed it to Xue Meng, and said excitedly: "Wu Jun will be defeated!"

Amidst the cheers from all over the city, he silently clenched his fists, no matter who was blocked in the city and beaten for a few months, he would be angry.

It's time for revenge.

……

Du Changqing received the order to retreat this morning. In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time, but he didn't dare to make decisions without authorization.

Now the two main forces of the Wu army are in the vicinity of Hucheng and Guping camp respectively, and the three military strongholds of Daokou, Wufeng and Tribulus have entered a state of defense, and there are only 2 troops outside the Jiming stronghold.However, according to Zhang Qingbai's estimation, there are at least [-] Tibetan front guard cavalry, and Du Changqing's face turns black every time he thinks of this news.

After the siege battle during this period, excluding the number of casualties, he had only 5000 people under his command.

The cavalry had an advantage over the infantry, and the numbers were about the same. He was really worried that Pei Yue would suddenly go crazy and would fight to the death with his subordinates.

Fortunately, the order to retreat arrived in time, and he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

As a veteran in the battlefield, Du Changqing is experienced, even if he retreats, no one will see his flaws.

The [-] cavalry are responsible for scouting the surrounding situation. The distance between the front army, the middle army, and the rear army is appropriate, so that they can support each other without being wiped out by others.

At dusk, a team of light cavalry scouts returned urgently.

"General, there are traces of enemy cavalry in the southeast!"

Du Changqing's face tightened, and he quickly asked, "How many people?"

"About five to six thousand people!"

"How far is it from the army?"

"Less than thirty miles!"

Du Changqing's face was solemn, this distance was nothing to the cavalry, but why didn't the opponent directly attack?
"Send the order, the whole army will stop, and organize a defensive camp on the spot." He said in a deep voice.

"Follow the order!" The guard next to him left immediately.

Several counselors looked at each other, and the oldest one said cautiously: "General, this place is more than two hundred miles away from Guping Camp."

Du Changqing frowned and said: "Of course I know, but the opponent is cavalry, if there is no defensive formation, how do you let our infantry resist?"

The man hesitated and said, "But there are only a few thousand people on the other side..."

He didn't believe that with such a disparity in numbers, the Zangfengwei would dare to raid the main formation of the army.

Du Changqing sneered and said, "What do you know? In fact, I have suggested to the general for a long time to give up Jiming Village temporarily and join forces to take down the Guping camp directly, but he didn't listen. I understand that the strategic significance of Jiming Village is very important , Winning here will connect the entire southern line, but the fact is that a trade-off must be made."

The counselor didn't dare to say any more, and then another team of scouts appeared nervously.

"Report to General! There are about [-] cavalry cavalry from the Tibetan front guard appearing more than [-] miles to the west!"

Du Changqing clenched his fist and said in a cold voice, "Immediately ask the general for help!"
