King Qin was resting in the tent he had just set up, and Ji Mengdie was gently beating his legs with him on the side, and the two were gossiping.

Bai Qi entered the tent, and Ji Mengdie retreated. The rule of the King of Qin is that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, unless it is approved by the King of Qin. Seeing Bai Qi, King Qin sat upright. Bai Qi saluted, and then said: "King, Weichen has a request that must be explained to you. ”

King Qin said: "Let's talk about it." ”

Bai Qi said: "I want to ask the king to leave this place with seven thousand men and horses, and retreat back fifteen miles, where there is a natural valley where the army can ambush and reads;." The king and the princess led the men and horses to lie in ambush in the valley, just wait for the two wolf smoke here to be lit, and then ask the princess to lead the army to kill, and they will be victorious. ”

King Qin didn't even think about it, and didn't hesitate: "Quasi-play." ”

Bai Qi was also very simple, didn't say a word, and retreated.

King Qin found Ji Mengdie and asked her to lead 7,000 men and horses, protect herself, retreat fifteen miles, and ambush in the valley. Ji Mengdie was puzzled: "King, what is General Bai going to do, why don't you attack the city, but let me lead 7,000 men and horses to retreat, he only takes 3,000 people, can he defeat Lanzhou City?"

King Qin smiled: "The general's soldiers have their own merits, don't be suspicious, just wait for the wolf smoke to rise, and do according to the plan." ”

As soon as the Qin army arrived at Malanpo, the officials and soldiers in the city got the news and immediately reported to Ding Qirui, the pacification envoy. When Ding Qirui heard this, he was really frightened. He didn't know how this Qin army would come to his Lanzhou from Xi'an. However, he can be sure that the soldiers of the Qin army are not here to give gifts.

Ding Qirui immediately found two generals around him, one named Yang Qifeng and the other named Wu Heng. These two are also considered fierce generals in a hundred battles, and they used to fight against Turpan near Yumen Pass and were promoted to generals.

Yang Qifeng had already learned of the arrival of the Qin army, and as soon as he saw Ding Qirui, he shouted: "My lord, the thieves suddenly invaded the territory, why don't you take advantage of their unstable foothold and kill him and not return." ”

Wu Heng didn't mean this, Yang Qifeng is a brave general, and he has a bit of a tendon in the war. Wu Heng was a little cunning.

Ding Qirui smiled and said: "Don't be busy first, the Qin army suddenly killed, we don't know the truth, we can't be reckless, I have sent someone out to investigate, wait a minute." ”

After two teas, Tan Ma reported: "Lord Zhenfu, the Qin army is camping in Malanpo, thirty miles outside the city, and the villain has visited it, and the Qin army and horses are about 2,000 to 4,000 people." It's all cavalry reads; ”

Yang Qifeng laughed: "Just this little bit of people, I want to fight Lanzhou City, isn't it a joke?"

Ding Qirui frowned and thought for a while, before he said: "It stands to reason that the Qin army is attacking from Xi'an, thousands of miles, and it is advantageous to fight quickly, if you change me, you must arrive at night and attack the city at night." In this case, the defenders are defenseless, and they have a greater certainty of breaking the city, but although this Qin army came from afar and arrived at the city, it hurriedly camped and did not come to attack, there must be ghosts among them. ”

Wu Heng said: "What do the ghosts mean, they are not here to fight Lanzhou"

Ding Qirui shook his head: "I must have come to fight Lanzhou, but in my opinion, this Qin army is more like a pioneer battalion, and the number of two or three thousand men and horses is exactly what the vanguard looks like." In my opinion, the brigade must be close behind. Most likely hoplites. ”

Wu Hengdao: "In this case, do we want to close the four doors and defend strictly"

Ding Qirui sneered: "I think General Yang's words are reasonable, let's first go all out and defeat this Qin army, and then wait until the Qin army arrives, and the morale has been lost. ”

Yang Qifeng slapped his thigh, jumped up, and arched his hand: "The young general is willing to lead the army of tigers and wolves to fight to the death in the front." Ding Qirui was right, there were a total of 8,000 men and horses in Lanzhou City, all of them were cavalry, Ding Qirui ordered Yang Qifeng to lead 5,000 cavalry out of the city and attack with all his might.

After getting the order, Yang Qifeng jumped up and down like a grasshopper that had eaten gunpowder, and soon ordered 5,000 cavalry, equipped with all the same spears, with bows and arrows behind him, a drum sounded, opened the east gate, and rushed out like an arrow.

Yang Qifeng was wearing iron armor, wearing an iron helmet, and his war horse was also wearing armor, and he advanced first, and the five thousand cavalry under his command all rushed to take the lead, wanting to take advantage of the Qin army's unstable foothold and kill him by surprise.

As soon as he left the city, he was seen by the Qin army's scouts and immediately reported back to the Baiqi camp.

Bai Qi asked: "How many people are there out of the city?" and the detective reported: "No less than four or five thousand horses." Bai nodded and said, "Let's explore again." The report went out, and Wang Bao said: "Why haven't we fought them yet, but the officers and soldiers have taken the initiative and come to attack us" Bai Qi smiled: "It's very simple, Ding Qirui saw that there were not many of us coming, only 3,000 cavalry, and he must think that we are the vanguard, and the team is behind, so he wants to defeat our vanguard first, kill the arrogance of the Qin army, and then defend the city, which is much more confident." ”

Wang Bao smiled: "The general is waiting, this is it." No wonder the order was to set up camp first. Instead of running another thirty miles to attack the officers and soldiers, it is better to wait here, catch our breath, and wait for them to come to the door. ”

Bai Qi said: "This is just one of them, there is another point, the city of Lanzhou is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are nearly 10,000 people and horses in the city, not less than us, once Ding Qirui will shrink the main force in the city, with the city to defend it, it will be very difficult to fight, a few days can not be attacked, the food will be exhausted, the Qin army will be defeated without a fight, so I think, if you want to win, you must destroy its main force in the field." The main force of the official army was annihilated, the city was frightened, and no longer dared to defend it. ”

Wang Bao listened and raised his big finger in praise.

However, Bai Qi knows that the current situation is also very tense, Gansu has always been a production area of war horses, there are a large number of cavalry, and there are many in the city of Lanzhou, so as soon as he goes out of the city, there are four or five thousand cavalry, and it is not easy to defeat these four or five thousand cavalry. Fortunately, he left a very powerful back-up move.

Bai Qi immediately ordered the men and horses to shrink into the camp, prepare more bows and arrows, shields and spears, and prepare to meet the battle.

Three thousand men and horses began to assemble, divided into four teams, each team of seven hundred men, and the remaining two hundred rode in the central tent to protect Bai Qi. Just waiting for the officers and troops to attack.

Yang Qifeng was full of confidence, he thought that this Qin army had come from a long way, and it was already very tired, and at this time it was not firmly established, most of them were hungry and thirsty, and once they encountered his fierce attack, they would inevitably be defeated.

Thinking of this, he was very excited, and urged the men and horses to hurry up, and it only took him half an hour to rush outside the Qin army's camp for a distance of thirty miles.

When I came to the outside of the camp, the Qin army had already prepared, and it could be seen that the camp had not yet been completely set up, and the camp had not even had time to set up horses, deer firewood and other things, let alone dig a ditch.

Yang Qifeng was overjoyed, he looked at the men and horses behind him, and ordered to regroup.

5,000 cavalry quickly assembled, Yang Qifeng ordered to be divided into four teams, and ordered the three lieutenants to each lead 1,000 men and horses, from the other three directions, to attack the Qin army camp, and he took 2,000 men and horses as the main force and marched head-on.

After the assignment, the other three teams galloped separately, Yang Qifeng waited for a while, estimating that the last team had also completed the encirclement, and then an order was given, the horn was blown in the army, the war drums were beaten, and two thousand cavalry launched an attack on the Qin army.

At the same time, the other three centaurs heard the trumpets and began to attack reads.

Bai Qi had already gathered his three thousand cavalry together, and the spears were stationed outside, with archers in the middle, and shield hands and short knife hands in the middle, forming an extremely effective defensive camp, like a hedgehog curled up, even if it was surrounded by several fierce tigers, it also made them have nowhere to put their mouths.

At this time, the officers and troops began to attack, and soon rushed into the camp gate. There was no one to defend it, so the four cavalry of the officers began to rush towards the central battalion.

Bai Qi was very careful when choosing the terrain, the center of his camp was a high ground, and all 3,000 men and horses stood on the high ground, so that when the official army attacked, it was a back attack, and the horses could not run at a speed. The Qin army, on the other hand, was condescending and occupied a favorable terrain.

Yang Qifeng led people to kill outside the central camp, and when he looked at it from a distance, he understood the intention of the Qin army, he sneered and ordered an attack. Five thousand cavalry rushed towards the Qin army while firing arrows.

The Qin army used shields to block the arrows, and then kept firing back, the Qin army's archery was very accurate, and many officers and soldiers were shot off their horses.

The officers and soldiers rushed to the bottom of the high ground, Yang Qifeng looked at the terrain, ordered four teams of men and horses, and pounced upwards at the same time.

The Qin army did not show weakness, danced swords and guns, and fought with the officers and soldiers who rushed up. The shields of the two sides collided, swords and spears hit each other, and thousands of weapons flashed cold light in the sun, and the killing was very fierce.

Because the Qin army was well defended, and had been through the enemy for a long time, and had rich experience, although there were many officers and soldiers, they could not kill them for a while, and they could not disrupt the camp of the Qin army.

Yang Qifeng was so angry that he screamed violently, stomped his feet vigorously in the stirrups, and finally he was also very angry, picked up the big knife, and took a thousand elite soldiers to pounce on the Qin army, these officers and soldiers were the strongest soldiers among the five thousand people, well-equipped, wearing iron armor, so the momentum was fierce and fierce.

The Qin army was a little unable to resist, and seeing that the circle array was about to be broken through, Wang Bao ran to Bai Qima and shouted: "General, the new officers and soldiers are all ironclad troops, the brothers are a little unable to hold on, let's light the wolf smoke."

Bai Qi looked at the officers and soldiers under his feet, and saw that these people were charging very fiercely and their strength was not reduced, so he snorted: "You have such a little ability, if General Lei Sheng is here, he will not be so."
