Horse on the World

Chapter 498 Strain (1)

With a bang, Li Qing punched the big case in front of him. The big case in front of him could not withstand such a strong force. With a click, it was broken into two pieces, and the piles of documents, pens, papers and inkstones piled up on the desk suddenly poured out on the ground. Li Qing's hand He was trembling, his heart was trembling, the urgent information sent by the inner guard made his heart shattered, Yuan Fang's purpose was originally here.

Tang Hu, Iron Leopard, and Chen Zeyue, who was stationed here, knew that something important must have happened, otherwise Li Qing would not have lost his composure. The three of them were all staring at the man who was circling like a tiger in the big tent. Li Qing, Li Qing did not show them the information. Until now, the three of them were still at a loss, but they all understood that if Zhai Feng came from Dingzhou, it must be that something serious happened in Dingzhou, but Dingzhou What can happen?
Li Qing turned around a few times, walked to the huge battle sand table in the center of the big tent, put his hands on the wooden edge, and carefully watched the current fighting situation between the two sides.

The Changsheng Division has a total of [-] combat soldiers. Now that Nafu has arrived in Kang County, it is very likely that the two battalions of defending power and fighting have rebelled. Li Qing pulled out the small red flag representing his side from Kang County with a bitter face and replaced it with a The blue flag representing the enemy, this move immediately shocked Chen Zeyue on the side.Even though Tang Hu and Iron Leopard are not talented generals, as soon as this blue flag is planted, the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and us will immediately change.

Several people looked at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes.

But Li Qing didn't stop. He kept pulling up the small red flags and planting the small blue flags. After a while, Zeng Yifan's army on the right wing had all been replaced with small blue flags.

Tang Hu stared wide-eyed, looked at the blue flags that were densely scattered everywhere on the sand table, and then looked at the red flags surrounded by four sides, and couldn't help but said: "General, the Liaozhou army is on the right!"

Chen Zeyue stomped on him hard, and the meaning of the handsome man was already obvious.The friendly army has now become the enemy, and the commander's current actions have shown that the Zeng family has teamed up with the Lu family and turned against him before the battle, but this is not the most worrying thing, the most worrying thing is the defense of Kang County. There are two battalions of Wei Han Wu, there are two battalions of extremely elite Bai cavalry, where Li Qing put them, one is for repairs, and the other is to monitor the Zeng's army on the right, but now, Kang County has been replaced For the blue flag, there are only two possibilities. One is that Kang County has been captured, but this is almost impossible. Even the Dingzhou Army can't do it by themselves if they want to silently wipe out tens of thousands of elite Bai people. It's Zeng's.Then there is only another possibility, the Bai people have rebelled.

Thinking of this, Chen Zeyue was drenched in cold sweat. Nuo Qi'a's troops rebelled, and the right wing opened wide, and the entire flank was exposed to the enemy's attack surface, while the main force of the Dingzhou Army was distributed on the left flank hundreds of miles wide. On the battlefield, any part may be attacked, and it is an attack that cuts off the back road.

Li Qing had calmed down from his initial anger and panic, staring at the almost desperate army of his side, but countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.There is no doubt that the Eastern Expedition has failed, and even the results of the Northern Expedition may be completely lost, but this is no longer within the scope of his consideration. What he is thinking now is how to withdraw the troops safely , withdrew from Shenzhou, and retreated in large strides.

The first thing is to assemble the Changsheng Division. As long as the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Changsheng Division can be successfully assembled, then Li Qing has the confidence to lead them out of the siege and return to Dingzhou.

But if I can think of this, the other party must know that the first thing they have to do is to cut off the connection between all the armies, divide and annihilate all the armies in Dingzhou, Zeng Yifan and Lu Fengchun are quite capable leaders People who are young will never give themselves this opportunity easily.what to do?Li Qing fell into deep thought.

"Iron Leopard!" Li Qing said.

"Master!" Iron Leopard responded loudly.

"Send someone to Kang County right away to check if there is any change in Nuoqia's department!" Li Qing still had hope in his heart. Nuoqia is not a stupid person. What if, Li Qing thought, if Nuoqia hadn't rebelled?Then the opponent's conspiracy this time can even become an opportunity for him to hit his opponent hard.

"Tang Hu, send people to report to General Tian Feng and the generals of the battalions, gather the troops quickly, retreat and assemble, the location of the assembly is Quancheng!"

"Yes, Commander!" Tang Hu immediately turned around and left the account.

Chen Zeyue looked at Li Qing in surprise, and after a while, he asked cautiously, "Commander, why didn't you order all the battalions to gather at the Moganshan Central Army camp?"

A smile appeared on Li Qing's face, "General Chen, do you think that if I ordered the battalions to assemble to Moganshan, would it be in their favor?"

Chen Zeyue looked at Li Qing anxiously, "Master, this is too risky!"

Li Qing nodded, "You guessed it, Yuan Fang designed such a big trap, is it to destroy my Master Chang Sheng? As long as I, Li Qing, are there, even Master Chang Sheng will be wiped out, but it won't take two years. I can make him Master Changsheng reappear. What's more, Master Changsheng is only one of my four major masters. Even if it is destroyed, it will hurt my skin, but it will not hurt me. Then you say, What is Yuan Fang's purpose?"

Chen Zeyue said in a low voice: "He is here to command you, what he wants is to destroy you!"

Li Qing smiled: "That's right, what he wants is my life, so at this time, let the soldiers approach me, not only can't save me, but also trap them, on the contrary, let them stay away from me And gathering in Spring City, the possibility of escaping danger is much greater. Now my place can be regarded as a bright light in the dark night, it is very dazzling, and a large number of troops will surround me at any time."

Li Qing seemed to relax suddenly, but Chen Zeyue didn't dare to think this way, "Commander, you are the foundation of an army, the hope of Dingzhou and the magic needle of Dinghai. If something happens to you, Dingzhou will be unimaginable, just like what you said earlier As you said, as long as you are here, it will only take three or two years for Master Changsheng to recover, so why put yourself in danger!"

"It is much more difficult to assemble all the troops to me now than they break through on their own. The other party will definitely think that I will gather the troops to Mogan Mountain in the first place. Therefore, I dare to say that, Once the conspiracy is launched, the main force of the enemy will definitely rush to this direction to intercept it. Even if they can break through the encirclement and reach me, how many people and combat power are left? Only at this time are they caught in the enemy's heavy pressure In the encirclement, that is the end of the mountain, and there is no way to escape!" Li Qing explained, "If you want to fight against it, let them follow their own routes to kill Quancheng, well, with Tian Feng's ability, he will definitely fight in the early stages of the war. Make a tactical and deceptive move to feint towards Moganshan, feint a shot, and then rush to the spring city. In this way, the opponent will definitely be surprised, and the possibility of them protruding will be greatly increased. A batch of chasing troops will go, in this way, the pressure on our place will be reduced instead.”

"Marshal is right!" Chen Zeyue nodded in admiration, "But Marshal, the enemy's target has been you from the beginning, even if Tian Feng and the others break through the encirclement, we are still the enemy's focus of attack, and after Tian Feng breaks through the encirclement , I will definitely come back for reinforcements, the enemy can still use this to attack them!"

"For this issue, I will strictly prohibit Tian Feng from coming back to rescue in the order. They must retreat to Weizhou and stick to it, and completely abandon Shun and Shen." Li Qingdao.

"Then, Marshal, how do you break through?" Chen Zeyue was a little anxious, "If you can't escape, what's the point?"

Li Qing smiled lightly, "It's that easy to kill me, Li Qing. Since their target is me, I might as well be a target."

Chen Zeyue understood that Li Qing wanted to use himself as a bait in exchange for the return of other troops. Although he was moved, he absolutely didn't take it seriously. In his heart, Li Qing's weight was greater than that of the entire Changsheng Division combined. Much more, this is a typical inversion of weight.

"General Chen, we are going to face a tough battle this time, and we may even die here. What do you think, but do you feel afraid?" Li Qing asked Chen Zeyue with a smile.

Chen Zeyue laughed, "Does the commander look at me like that? Let's not talk about whether the other side's cowardly army can beat us. Even if we lose, Zeyue can die laughing, because I believe they want to defeat us." , will pay ten times the price with us."

"Very good!" Li Qing patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, we may suffer heavy losses, but we will never be wiped out."

Walking to the sand table, pointing to the fighting situation between the enemy and us, "Zeyue, you are also an old soldier, come and see, which point will the enemy attack us first?"

Chen Zeyue thought for a moment, then pointed to a place and said: "Commander, I think, if Nuoqi Abe really rebelled, the first target of their attack must be the Red Cavalry of General Lu Dabing who is stationed here, because they are far away. Kang County is the closest, and the whole army is composed of cavalry. Once they know that something happened in Kang County, they will be the first to respond. I think Nuoqia will definitely attack him first. If Nuoqia's attack speed arrives before our messenger, then General Lu is in danger!"

Li Qing's face also became serious, "You are right. From us, it will take two days for the courier to arrive at the fastest speed. If Nuo Qi'a attacks within two days, Lu Dabing will be caught off guard and will suffer a lot. Unfortunately, Nuoqia's ability to lead troops is even better than Lu Dabing's, and he is better than Lu Dabing in responding to the enemy. If Nuoqia personally directs this sneak attack, how many of the red cavalry can survive? Be optimistic! Right now, I just hope that Lu Dabing will be fine, otherwise, I really don’t know how to explain to Lu Dalin.”

Chen Zeyue sighed, "The commander-in-chief is worrying too much. The general will inevitably die before the battle. General Lu Dalin is a veteran in the battlefield, so he naturally understands this truth."

Chen Zeyue bid farewell and left. There are too many things to do right now, and the next battle will be extremely cruel. The army must make all preparations.

After Li Qing returned to the broken case, he squinted his eyes. In the conversation with Chen Zeyue just now, he still had a lot of thoughts that he didn't express. In addition to conveying this urgent military situation, what Zhai Feng sent also contained There were a lot of other things, although they didn't say it clearly, but between the lines, Li Qing saw a lot of things that could only be understood but could not be expressed in words.

"Li Wen Li Wu!" He whispered.
