At the time of the battle, Qian Qiaogong and his cavalry infantry were not seen.

Where did Qian Qiaogong go?

Didn't he say that he would take his cavalry infantry with Wu Zheng to reinforce Peixian?

Qian Qiaogong went to Pei County!

Isn't that strange?

Isn't it said that there is a road from Xuzhou to Pei County on Huashan?

Yes, there's another way – the waterway.

Qian Qiaogong separated from Wu Zheng near Jingshan, led 300 men to the west, went north through Weishan Lake, landed at Jingoukou half a day later, and then went west to Peixian.

How bold the people of the metropolis are, how productive the land is, Qian Qiaogong's madness is no less than Wu Zheng.

Although Pei County is not lost now, it is already surrounded by enemy cavalry on three sides, what can three hundred people do?

What kind of coach there is, what kind of subordinates there are, since ancient times, it has been the same.

……。

There are still more than 300 lives left in Huling City.

For them at this time, living has become a dispensable thing.

This kind of psychology is like the boredom of suddenly winning the lottery and getting rich?

Indeed, many have died, even their Lord has died.

The joy of surviving, the ecstasy of victory, the pain of seeing the brothers lying beside them and the melancholy of powerlessness, these extreme emotions are intertwined, and there is a spontaneous ...... Let's go.

Say it's an action, because it's a collective act.

But in fact, these more than 300 people have lost their command.

At this time, as long as someone takes the lead in either direction, the rest will follow silently.

No matter how well-trained the army is, it will be like this in a short time.

Their direction is - south!

……。

Behind the small slope to the south, there were more than 1,000 Northern Expeditionary Army, and the task of this army was to meet the retreat of the defenders of Huling City.

Perhaps in Yue Xiaolin's heart, he refused to allow this support army to join the battle.

At the beginning of the war, Yue Xiaolin wanted to hide it, for fear that this support would rob him of his credit.

After the start of the war, Yue Xiaolin was unwilling to let this support army go to death, and increased casualties in vain.

In this way, the battle of Huling City, twenty miles away, was dark, but this support army stood still, because there was no order and no call for help, they could only stay where they were.

……。

Shen Zhiyuan's attack was indeed hearty.

It can be said that the soldiers are invincible.

But this kind of raid, there is a drawback, that is, it must be constantly won.

Once the attack is frustrated, the backlash encountered is absolutely fatal.

Shen Zhiyuan was very sensitive, and gave the order to retreat as soon as the attack was frustrated, and even resolutely retreated despite the efforts of Lan Bai, who was sent by his side as a supervising army.

But will he really be able to get his wish?

Really regard the defense line of the Northern Expeditionary Army as his own backyard, and come and go as soon as he wants?

Obviously, it can't be!

……。

Qian Qiaogong is very fast.

This is thanks to the help of local fishermen guides in Xuzhou.

Although he only brought 300 men, it was also 300 elite soldiers, no, 300 cavalry, to be precise, 300 elite cavalry infantry.

The reason for this is that although these soldiers were the best of the more than 2,000 men, they really had no experience in fighting on horseback.

But that doesn't mean they can't steer their horses on a rapid march.

After landing at an unknown wharf east of Jingoukou, the three hundred and one horses, like a puff of smoke, quickly pounced on Peixian.

Their direction to point to the north gate of Pei County.

Qian Qiaogong's intention was that if Huling City had been lost, then it would be a strange plan to cut off the enemy's offensive route and make it suffer from the enemy on his belly and back, so as to reduce the pressure on the Lu domain of Peixian...... Even if you persuade 100 people to surrender, it is good, and it is in line with the way of soldiers.

But Qian Qiaogong didn't know, Lu Zhiyu didn't know, and Wu Zheng couldn't predict that a strange variable appeared at the north gate of Peixian County.

……。

Lu Zhiyu has been wondering why the enemy cavalry cruising outside the city has not continued to attack for a day.

Is it here for a picnic and training?

Apparently not.

When dusk came, the three horsemen suddenly rushed to the north gate.

Lu Zhiyu almost gave the order to shoot.

Fortunately, the visitor shouted loudly, "My name is Huang Huozi, and I used to be the personal guard of King Wu...... General Lu is invited to show up and answer. ”

There is no need to spread the word, Lu Zhiyu is on the city tower, and he can hear it clearly.

He knew the yellow camel, and he also knew that the yellow camel was indeed Wu Zheng's personal guard, and he also knew that the Huang family was almost wiped out.

Kelu Zhiyu didn't know the meaning of the yellow camel, for him, even Shen Zhiyuan would betray, let alone the yellow camel?

"Yellow camel, Lu is here, if you have something to say, you can talk about it." Lu Zhiyu poked his head out of the battlements and said loudly.

The yellow camel replied loudly, "General Lu, please open the city gate and allow our troops to enter the city!" ”

Lu Zhiyu was dumbfounded, "You...... You've been kicked in the head by a donkey, right? ”

Look, what you say is pure provocation.

Fortunately, the yellow camel didn't mind, and he hurriedly said: "This matter can't be talked about here, when you see the prince, you will have your own judgment!" ”

Only then did Lu Zhiyu realize that the yellow camel might have intended to surrender, but he didn't believe it, thought about it and shouted: "Your identity is unknown, how can Lu let you enter the city...... Then, if you really want to return, then put your troops under the city and abandon your weapons, and let our army lead you into the city. ”

This is a problem in the domain of Lu, and it is also, when the battle is about to be fought, the formation of the city and the abandonment of weapons, isn't that a live target for the defenders of the city?

Even if there is a homecoming, this is an overly demanding requirement.

No, the yellow camel shouted urgently: "As General Lu wishes......!" ”

He turned around and ordered the cavalry around him to wave the command flag, so six hundred spearmen appeared, slowly coming towards the north gate.

Only then did Lu Zhiyu gradually believe that the yellow camel was really going to return.

……。

Feiyun Bridge is only dozens of miles away from Pei County.

Shen Zhiyuan wants to withdraw, I'm afraid that no one can stop him, Wu Zheng and the Northern Expeditionary Army are the same, there is no reason why two legs are faster than four legs.

It's almost a time difference.

When the yellow camel returned to enter the city, it was the time when the Northern Expeditionary Army scouts at Feiyun Qiaotou reconnoitred for the second time.

By the time Shen Zhiyuan led the army back to Pei County, it was too late, and the raw rice was cooked into cooked rice, could it still be sown?

At least Shen Zhiyuan thinks that this is his mistake.

Blunder?

The six hundred cavalry turned against each other in front of the formation, how could they be prevaricated by a simple mistake?

Lan Bai, who was locked up by Shen Zhiyuan's relatives and suffered a dumb loss, strongly and indignantly ordered Shen Zhiyuan to hand over the command, and ordered Shen Zhiyuan to be detained, and when the battle was over, he would return to Yanzhou and be disposed of by the prince.

Shen Zhiyuan accepted this "humiliation" almost without saying a word, and even ordered his personal guards to obey Lan Bai's orders and imprison themselves.

Overnight, the commander of this cavalry was replaced.

The 600 cavalry outside Pei County defected, and at this time, no one thought that there was anything to be done in this battle.

According to Shen Zhiyuan's suggestion before he was seized, the cavalry could only go west, detour from Feng County, and return to Ziyang through Shanxian County.

However, Lan Bai first obtained the command of this spear cavalry, and he believed that even if the 600 cavalry of Pei County surrendered to the enemy, there were 600 cavalry from Huling in the north, and as long as they met with the 600 cavalry of Huling, there was still something to be done in this battle.

As a result, the Qing army first headed west, and then turned north.
