Leng Bufeng, one of Ji Xuan's right-hand men, is also the leader of the troops this time. After knowing that one of the scouts had escaped, Leng Bufeng was very annoyed and said, "Waste, you can even let people escape back." "There are so many people that they can even let a spy escape.

The people who came to repay lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.

The cold subordinate said, "General, what should we do now?" The spies ran back, and the matter of their ambush must have been known by Yunqing. There is no point in continuing to ambush.

Leng Bufeng said: "Since it has been discovered, there is no need for an ambush." "Just start fighting, it's close anyway.

Leng Bufeng actually felt that it was a pity, the Northwest Army was invincible from Yucheng to Wucheng, and it did not encounter the slightest obstacle, so it did not let Yunqing relax his vigilance. If Yun Qing hadn't sent spies, he would definitely be able to wipe out Yun Qing in Gaojialing.

After the subordinates found out, they hesitated a little and said: "General, the Northwest Army is strong in combat, and I am worried that if we fight head-on, we will not be able to take advantage." "In addition, it was cold, and the soldiers wore a lot of clothes, and they were very bulky when they fought.

Leng Bufeng said: "No matter how strong they are, they only have 30,000 horses." "Leng Bufeng brought 90,000 horses to ambush here this time. Leng Bufeng originally had three times more troops than them, and if they fell into an ambush circle, no matter how powerful the Northwest Army was, it would suffer heavy losses. Therefore, if you are not careful, you may end up with the annihilation of the whole army.

Yunqing soon found out that the other party had as many as 90,000 soldiers and horses. Ninety thousand versus thirty thousand, normally the side with fewer people will definitely mess up after knowing it. It's a pity that the 30,000 people brought out by Yunqing are the most elite soldiers and horses in the northwest, and the soldiers inside are all battle-hardened. Even, there are many people in it who crawled out of the pile of dead people. Therefore, even if the other party is now three times more than them, no one will back down. Not only that, but one by one they were like they had been beaten with chicken blood, ready to kill them! All the way, they just hurried one by one, and they didn't make any moves, and their hands were itchy.

Knowing that the other side has 90,000 soldiers and horses, it must be on defense under normal circumstances. Yunqing went the opposite way and sent 3,000 cavalry to attack, which was also Yunqing's confidence, and the combat effectiveness of these cavalry was comparable to those cavalry in the northern captivity. Cavalry against infantry, it was like entering a no-man's land.

Yun Qing's behavior was greatly beyond Leng Bufeng's expectations, and knowing that Yun Qing sent cavalry to take the initiative to attack, he couldn't help but scold: "Crazy, really a madman." "Knowing that you are at a disadvantage, you even take the initiative to attack, it's not a madman.

The cold subordinate said with a sad face: "General, the cavalry of the rebels is too fierce, we can't resist it at all. "These horsemen slay them like winter melons, one at a time. He had heard that the Northwest Army was fierce for a long time, but now after the battle, he realized that these people were not fierce, they were ferocious, and they killed people without blinking their eyes. Sure enough, if there are any generals, they will bring out some soldiers.

Leng Bufeng said loudly: "If you can't resist it, you have to resist it." I don't believe it, we 90,000 can't destroy 30,000 of them. Pass my orders and attack in full force. "Three against one, no matter how fierce the Northwest Army is, it is impossible to beat him.

Leng Bufeng was very hard-hearted, even if his subordinates kept running in to tell him that the battle situation was unfavorable and he suffered heavy casualties, he still did not order the withdrawal of troops. As a result, the battle was fought until dark. It's dark, you can't see it, and you can't stop fighting if you don't want to.

Yun Qing was covered in blood and said to Guan Tai and Yuan Ying: "Count the casualties." Yunqing also went to the battlefield in person this time, 30,000 against 90,000, and it would not be possible to go to the battlefield in person.

Gao Song, the personal guard, brought two buckets of water over and said to Yun Qing: "General, wash and change your clothes before eating!" He was worried that Yun Qing would not feel comfortable. Even if it was before, since marrying his wife, the general has also been very particular.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "Put the water in the tent!" "Just wash it when you go to bed, where will you have time to take a bath."

The casualties were quickly counted, and Yuan Ying said: "General, 1,685 people were killed in the battle, and 2,935 people were seriously wounded. Of these, 67 cavalry were killed and 198 were seriously wounded. "The cavalry is the best equipped and the most combative, so the casualties are the least.

Yunqing said: "Those wounded soldiers must be properly treated. "This time, he brought all the military doctors with him. However, in the case of lack of medical treatment, it is still difficult to get medical treatment after the injury. Once you can't get through it, you will only be dead.

Yuan Ying said: "The doctors in the neighborhood have also been recruited, but there are not enough medicinal materials, and the doctors have no choice." ”

Yun Qing was silent for a moment, and said to Gao Song: "Gather Feng Dajun and Yu Cong and them all. "We'll have to have a meeting and discuss it.

When the people got the news, they all rushed over. Feng Dajun was the first to speak, and said, "General, we got the news before that there are 40,000 guards in Lanzhou City. Why did 90,000 men and horses come out all of a sudden? Could it be that Ji Xuan also transferred tens of thousands of men and horses from the south city?"

Yunqing shook his head and said, "No." If this is the case, wouldn't Lanzhou City be attacked by the enemy on its back? Moreover, the combat effectiveness of this soldier and horse today is not weak. ”

Yu Cong said: "General, if it weren't for the soldiers and horses in Nancheng, it would be Ji Xuan who transferred soldiers and horses from Shaanxi. But in such a short period of time, the people arrived in Lanzhou City, which was fast enough, as if they had been prepared. ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Feng Dajun said: "General, I was very strange before, no matter how weak the local army is, it is impossible to be led by the nose by 30,000 rebels. Now that I see, Ji Xuan's target is probably you, the general. ”

Yunqing remembered that Yuxi had told him to buy so much food before, and Ji Xuan, who was passing by the land under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi, did not react at all, which was a bit strange. At that time, Yunqing also explained to Yuxi that Ji Xuan was afraid because of what happened back then, and now that he wants to come where Ji Xuan is afraid, it is likely that Ji Xuan did it on purpose. Ji Xuan did this on purpose to make it convenient for him to rebel!

Cui Mo was a little strange and said, "This is not right! Can the old dog of Ji pinch it, knowing that my general will turn against the dog emperor?"

When Yun Qing heard this, his face was very ugly. If it is really as Cui Mo said, then it is likely that the assassin of Yuxi is Ji Xuan. Ji Xuan's purpose was to force him to rebel, and he just took the opportunity to eradicate him. Of course, this is just his guess.

Yuan Ying was more careful, and when he saw Yun Qing like this, he asked, "General, what's wrong with you?" Look, there seems to be something bad.

Yun Qing had already regained his expressionless appearance, and said: "Our current strength is not enough to attack the city, and we have to wait for Du Zheng's soldiers and horses to attack the city." "They came out to take the lead, and Du Zheng wanted to bring something, so he took a step slowly.

There was no objection to this. After a long day of deliberation, everyone went down to rest, and after a day's fighting, it was time to rest.

Feng Dajun went and returned, and when he saw Yun Qing's worried look, he asked, "General, what are you worried about?" Back then, they were made dumplings by the northern captives, and they would die at any time, and the general didn't frown. This time, it was definitely not because Ji Xuan was worried about the transfer of troops.

Yunqing said: "I'm worried that something will happen to Yucheng. "Yunqing is not afraid of Ji Xuan, even if Ji Xuan sends all the soldiers and horses from Shaanxi, he is not worried. All the soldiers and horses in Shaanxi Province add up to only 200,000. Excluding the tens of thousands of horses on the southern side of the city, most of the soldiers and horses that Ji Xuan can dispatch today.

Yunqing is not afraid of fighting Ji Xuan head-on, nor is he afraid of consuming Ji Xuan, their food is enough to eat until the beginning of spring next year. But Yunqing was worried about what would happen to Yucheng. Uncle Huo, Yuxi and the children are all in Yucheng, once there is an accident in Yucheng, the consequences are unimaginable.

Feng Dajun said: "General, General Fu will not turn his back on you. Moreover, even if General Fu has different intentions, there is still a stepfather and Wei Guo!"

While the two were talking, the spies sent out came back to report: "General, Leng Bufeng has already led his troops back to Lanzhou City. ”

When Yunqing heard this, he let go of the anxiety in his heart and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to celebrate the New Year in Lanzhou City this year." "Leng Bufeng withdrew to Lanzhou City, this is preparing to preserve their strength, and they only have more than 20,000 people now, it is definitely impossible to attack the city. No matter how fast Du Zheng is, he won't be able to catch up with it a year ago. So this year, they are estimated to be celebrating the New Year in this town.

Feng Dajun said with a smile: "What is this." Wait for next year, we will celebrate the New Year in Ho City, wouldn't it be more beautiful. "Ho City, but the central city of the northwest, is also the most prosperous area in the northwest. Celebrating the New Year in Ho Castle also means that they have achieved the ultimate victory.

Yun Qing smiled and lowered his head.

Leng Bufeng returned to Lanzhou City, saw Ji Xuan, knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, I am incompetent. "It's not that he's incompetent, it's that the rebels are too powerful.

Ji Xuan asked, "How many people have you lost this time?"

Leng Bufeng said bitterly: "More than 45,000 people have been lost. After saying this, Leng Bufeng said again: "My lord, the cavalry of the rebels is too powerful, and a third of us died at the hands of the opposing cavalry. "Of course, the infantry is also much stronger than them. It's just that compared with the cavalry, there is still a bit of a gap.

Ji Xuan didn't express an opinion on this, and said, "How many men and horses did the other party lose?" He had already heard about the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Northwest Army, so he was not surprised. What he wanted to know now was how far they were from the Northwest Army.

Leng Bufeng said: "The rebels should have also killed and wounded tens of thousands of people. ”

Ji Xuan said: "They counted more than 10,000, and we lost more than 40,000, so we should use more than four times the strength of the rebels." ”

Leng Bufeng shook his head and said, "My lord, their cavalry casualties this time are very few. "Cavalry, that's a nightmare for their forward battalion!

Ji Xuan's staff said: "General, there are only more than 20,000 horses left on the other side, and they don't have natural hazards and strong walls to defend. At this time, we should send troops to attack again. "If they wait for the follow-up troops of the Northwest Army to arrive, they will be even more passive.

Leng Bufeng knelt on the ground, not daring to ask for battle. The Northwest Army is too strong, even if he is asked to bring 100,000 soldiers and horses to fight, he will not be able to win. Therefore, let someone else do this errand! He will not get involved. R1148
