Chapter 459 The Battle of Xinzhou ([-])

After returning to the tent, Li Zhun sat on the chair in a daze.

On the table in front of him was a map.

It was a map from Xinzhou all the way to the north of the Yellow River, which clearly marked the distribution of troops between An and Liao.

But now, this troop distribution has changed a lot!

What made Li Zhun rack his brains and couldn't figure it out was why Di Qing made such a big mistake following the cavalry who lost the Liao Kingdom?
Even if Di Qing is young, judging from Di Qing's performance in Shandong, he can at least be regarded as a famous player!

Moreover, Di Qing is also one of the two commanders of the army that the imperial convoy personally conquered this time. He is a military genius that Xiao Mo is full of praise for, and he is the favorite general that Xiao Mo puts high hopes on!

But... this time, Di Qing failed his duty inexplicably!

In fact, Di Qing never noticed this dereliction of duty.

In other words, Di Qing has already noticed it, because Di Qing has been following Meng Gongzuo's cavalry from a distance since he left Xinzhou and found Meng Gongzuo's cavalry.

The cavalry of the An Dynasty and the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom have always kept a distance. Of course...there are a lot of troops on both sides. When tens of 10 people gather together, it is difficult to lose track of them!

So Li Zhun guessed wrong, and Di Qing never lost track of him!

Because Di Qing's cavalry had always followed behind the Liao cavalry, this situation lasted for a long time.

The cavalry of the Liao Kingdom also knew that there was such a large group of people following behind them, but they seemed to be doing nothing, cruising in the open space in the north of Xinzhou, and had no intention of approaching Dingxiang or Xinzhou at all!
Moreover, what made Di Qing aware that something was wrong was that the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom had always been cruising around the Tianya Mountains in Yuanping, and they seemed to be very clear about the movements of their own troops.

It felt like my 20 cavalry were being led by the nose in circles in situ!
Finally at noon, Di Qing felt something was wrong.

Because when he came to the south of Tianya Mountain with the Liao cavalry, he found a group of horseshoe prints heading south on the ground!
The horseshoe prints were obviously not newly stepped on, because judging from the horseshoe prints on the ground, it seemed that the batch of horseshoe prints heading south were the first to step on the ground.

Later, after many times of stamping, the original horseshoe prints were somewhat invisible.

But Di Qing discovered this suspicious place vigilantly, and then dismounted to investigate with Yang Paifeng!
Follow the horseshoe prints, go south, and come to the front of a forest, and then the horseshoe prints going south are much clearer.

Because in the past few hours, Di Qing led 20 cavalry and cavalry from the Liao Kingdom to circle around Tianya Mountain, but he did not come to the side of the forest.

So the horseshoe prints next to the woods are still well preserved!
Judging by the size of the horseshoe prints, the number of horses should be at least [-]!

Because the outside of the entire forest is densely packed with horseshoe prints.

not good!

Di Qing came to his senses, and then glanced at Yang Paifeng.

After Yang Paifeng and Di Qing expressed their feelings, the relationship between the two developed very quickly. Now almost as long as it is Di Qing's eyes, Yang Paifeng can see what he means!

From Di Qing's eyes, Yang Paifeng saw annoyance and shock.

Indeed, Yang Paifeng was also shocked, because if these horseshoe marks really represented the iron cavalry of the Liao Kingdom going south, then the enemy's goal is very clear!

It must be Xinzhou!
Di Qing quickly got on his horse, and said to Yang Paifeng, "I will lead 5 horses to Xinzhou for reinforcements, and you will continue to follow Meng Gong with your men!"

Yang Paifeng heard the words and said, "I'll go with you!"

Di Qing shook his head and said: "No! It's hard to tell the authenticity of these horseshoe marks, so it's hard to guarantee that it's not a trick by Meng Gong! Meng Gong's use of troops is weird, so we have to guard against it. We must not fall into his trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain! If you and I will go to Xinzhou together, and at this time Meng Gongzuo will lead his troops to Dingxiang for reinforcements, and Master Li will suffer from the enemy!"

Yang Paifeng felt that what Di Qing said was reasonable, so he said to Di Qing: "Since Meng Gong's use of soldiers is so strange, I'm afraid I can't see him!"

Although Yang Paifeng has always been relatively proud, but in front of her lover, she shows her frank side more, saying what she has.

Furthermore, this is a battlefield after all, and Yang Paifeng is a member of the Yang family, so he naturally knew that there should be no arrogance or fluke on the battlefield, so he told Di Qing his thoughts.

Di Qing thought about it for a while, and said to Yang Paifeng: "Let's do this! Looking at the number of horseshoes, it is estimated that the Liao army should not exceed 6 horses. I will join you with 8 horses to quickly reinforce Xinzhou..."

Yang Paifeng said: "It doesn't cost 5, there are still defenders in Xinzhou, only [-] are needed!"

Di Qing knew that Yang Paifeng was afraid that she would take away too many troops, which would put his cavalry at a disadvantage compared to Meng Gongzuo's cavalry, so he only wanted 5 horses.

Knowing Yang Paifeng's stubborn temper, and Xinzhou must send reinforcements as soon as possible, because it is obvious that the Liao cavalry left the forest before his own troops arrived, so Di Qing didn't have time to persuade Yang Paifeng, Then he said to Yang Paifeng: "Then be careful yourself! And...if the Xinzhou camp is broken, don't come back, go directly south to Taiyuan for reinforcements!"

Yang Paifeng knew the meaning of Di Qing's words, so he nodded solemnly to him, expressing that he understood!

Di Qing glanced at Yang Paifeng again, with a bit of reluctance in his eyes, finally he gritted his teeth and said: "Paifeng, you also know... this time we made a mistake, if... if Taiyuan is in danger, we really can't defend Stop, please protect the emperor well, please!"

When it was the final parting, Di Qing still couldn't say the love words in his heart that he cared about Yang Paifeng, but changed it to ask Yang Paifeng to protect the emperor.

Yang Paifeng naturally knew the truth about protecting the emperor, and she didn't notice the complex look in Di Qing's eyes when Di Qing finished speaking the last word.

Seeing Yang Paifeng's sassy figure riding away with his men and horses, Di Qing stared at him for a long time.

Until Yang Paifeng disappeared into Di Qing's field of vision with his men and horses, Di Qing turned his horse's head angrily, then looked at the soldiers behind him and said, "Brothers! We were tricked by the Liao people!"

The soldiers panicked when they heard the words, and the coach said that they were given by the enemy. Of course, these soldiers were even more confused!
So people started whispering.

At this time, Di Qing said again: "They have been leading us around in circles. In fact, they have sent troops to attack Xinzhou a long time ago! Now it is very possible that General Liang is in danger. Brothers, tell me! What should we do now ?”
