Invincible son

Under the city of Jiangling.

As the 2000 people led by Pei Yue jumped out of the encirclement of the Southern Zhou cavalry, the situation suddenly became clear.

Both the Dingshan Camp and the Langtu Camp can be considered elite cavalry, but it is obviously impossible to surround the battle-tested Tibetan front guard with only 5000 people.Especially the area outside the city is very suitable for cavalry to gallop. From the beginning, Pei Yue never thought of fighting the opponent to the end.What he had to do was very simple, to get rid of the nearest Jinwu Guard, and then block the other two cavalry, giving the defenders of Jiangling City enough time to wipe out the enemy.

With the arrival of the Southern Zhou army, the prelude to the war has begun.

Although the plan to seize the city has come to nothing, Fang Xiexiao has never given up his plan to attack by force all these years, so this time he prepared very comprehensively, with a total of 11 troops from the North Camp, and [-] infantry transferred from other places , plus the Pingjiang camp as the core force and these two cavalry, the total strength reached about [-].

In addition, the siege equipment is readily available, which shows that Fang Xiexiao has worked hard for a long time, only to be able to take back Jiangling City.

For Nan Zhou, this was a last resort decision.With Beiliang's victory over Wu State, there will be no worries on the northwest border for a few years, and Emperor Kaiping will definitely turn his attention to the south.At this time, the role of the three cities of Jiangling is becoming more and more important. As long as the Dingzhou navy can hold that section of waters, the Beiliang frontier army can use Jiangling City as a bridgehead continuously to invade the border of Dazhou like a torrent.

Placing the fate of the country on marriage is tantamount to nonsense. The best strategy is of course to capture the important town of Jiangling and control the flames of war on the Tiancang River.With the absolute advantage of the Southern Zhou navy, it would be extremely difficult for Beiliang to cross the river and attack.

It's just that for the Southern Zhou army, there is a very disharmonious existence on the battlefield at this time.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, Fang Xiexiao in military uniform looked at the Northern Liang cavalry in the northwest corner who kept moving slowly, and frowned slightly: "Pei Yue is really very courageous."

You must know that with the arrival of the army, Jiangling City will definitely fall into siege, and Pei Yue and his cavalry have fallen into a helpless situation.No matter how strong this cavalry is, they only have about 2000 people after all, and they don't receive any support or supplies. How much morale can they retain in the long run?

Although he made such a choice to protect the city gate of Jiangling, everyone knows the reason why the son of a daughter cannot sit down. Pei Yue can still make such a choice now that he is in a high position. His opposite, still surprised and somewhat admired.

Fang Yuntian said calmly: "Father commander, now that you have lost your face, the general thinks 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 caught. He leads by the nose."

Fang Xiexiao nodded and said, "That makes sense."

He suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "The order, the Langtu Battalion and the Dingshan Battalion are responsible for chasing the cavalry. If they don't want to annihilate them, they just need to drive them away from the battlefield. Their mission is only one, and that is absolutely not to let this cavalry A cavalry is out of my sight, and I can't let them harass the town."

The herald went away with orders.

Seeing Dingshanying and Langtuying in the rear suddenly start to speed up, Pei Yue said calmly, "Let's go."

Set off westward until you are completely out of the field.

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

On the top of the city, Baoding Bo Cai Qian looked at the retreating Zang Fengwei, and said to Li Jin beside him: "Peihou should bring more people."

He knew that there were 5000 Zang Fengwei who came to the southern border this time, and only 1000 were hiding in Jiangling City, and the remaining 4000 were missing.Although Pei Yue didn't express his thoughts, as a veteran on the battlefield, Cai Qian could probably guess what the other party was thinking, which was to use this extremely powerful cavalry to disrupt the defense line inside the Southern Zhou Dynasty, making Fang Xie Xiao unable to look at each other from head to tail.

As long as the cavalry led by Pei Yue continue to harass the towns of Southern Zhou, 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. The rampant Pei Yue.

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

That's why Cai Qian has this worry.

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

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

One hundred thousand troops besieged Jiangling, and black clouds overwhelmed the city to destroy it.

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

……

Whether it is Fang Huai, the chief general of the Langtu Battalion, or Fang Yunsong, the chief general of the Dingshan Battalion, they are all experienced veterans, so they did not choose to pursue with all their strength at the very beginning, but instead paid attention to controlling the speed, swaying in the distance. Hidden behind Fengwei.

These two cavalry pursued from two directions, constantly forcing the Zangfengwei to move southwest.

During the gallop, Tang Linfen said loudly, "Master Hou, to the southwest is the boundary of Ningzhou in Southern Zhou."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Advance faster."

As Zang Fengwei's speed became faster and faster, the gap between them and the pursuers began to be revealed.Whether it is the leg strength of the crotch mounts or the soldiers' horse control skills, the Tibetan front guards are stronger than the Southern Zhou cavalry, so the distance is getting wider and wider.

When Fang Huai and Fang Yunsong realized something was wrong, it was impossible to catch up with Zang Fengwei.

Half an hour later, looking at the empty road ahead, Fang Huai turned his horse's head and rushed towards the Dingshan Camp, came to Fang Yunsong and frowned and said, "Second Young Master, what exactly does Pei Yue want to do? Did he think Can you attack the city with two thousand cavalry?"

Fang Yunsong said in a deep voice: "Father Commander has sent orders to various towns on the border before, and he will not be given this opportunity."

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

Fang Yunsong said unhurriedly: "Their war horses also need to rest. Besides, this is in our territory. They should just want to get rid of us for a short time and get a chance to breathe. I heard from the fourth brother that Pei Yue is wise in fighting battles. There are many tricks, especially good at pretending to escape to seek victory. So don't worry, we just follow the traces on the ground."

When he mentioned the word "fourth brother", his eyes could not help being sad, but at the same time he had undisguised hatred.

Fang Huai nodded and said: "That's right, now he has become a turtle in a urn, and sooner or later he will become a dead soul under the sword."

The two cavalry 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 rein sharply, turned his head to look at the way he had come, and gritted his teeth: "Back to the carbine!"
