There is a small stream a hundred miles outside Caozhou City, and there is a valley by the stream, where an army of 250,000 people is stationed, which is Ji Qingchen's Northern Liao Army.

This army went out of the city overnight, and walked more than 100 miles in the direction of Wai Liaozhou, and then stationed troops here.

Because Ji Qingchen also has his own tactics, his purpose is neither Meng Buge in the Northern Capital nor Haoge in Shangzhou, but the main army of Mo Dahan who has entered Yunzhou.

When Mo Dahan stopped marching four hundred miles away from Caozhou City, it was actually only three hundred miles away from Ji Qingchen's position.

So when Mo Dahan made the decision to let Tuba be the vanguard general and lead the blue flag to Caozhou City, as soon as the Tuba army moved, the news was known to Ji Qingchen.

Now, it's late afternoon.

And the big tent of the Chinese army in the valley of the creek was already brightly lit.

Because Ji Qingchen was discussing the military situation with the generals, since Mo Dahan dared to send Tuba, a lone army, so boldly, he wanted to follow Mo Dahan's wishes and first solve the 30,000 Beirong elite cavalry of Tuba and Zhenglan Banner.

The big tent is full of cadres from the Northern Liao Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Everyone gathered around a sand table and listened to Xiang Ziyu's explanation of Mo Dahan's troops.

Xiang Ziyu may not be able to be the commander of the First Army, this is due to his character, and it is also intentional by Ji Qingchen, but as the deputy general of the First Army, it is still very qualified to let him be a staff officer.

"In any case, this time we are facing 200,000 elite cavalry of Modahan, and his purpose is also to lure us into his trap by using Meng Buke or Hauge as bait." Xiang Ziyu said, "So no matter what, our battle with Beirong is actually our battle with Mo Dahan, and we are not facing Beirong's 300,000 troops, but only Mo Dahan's 200,000 elite cavalry. ”

When Xiang Ziyu said this, he stopped analyzing and moved his gaze to Ji Qingchen, because he had already finished analyzing the enemy situation, and now he was waiting for Ji Qingchen to give an order.

"You all heard General Xiang's analysis just now, right? Beijon has 300,000 cavalry, which makes the king a little afraid, but now we are facing only Modahan and his 200,000 troops, and his army is the same as ours, which is the real reason why the king has set his sights on him. Ji Qingchen said.

Seeing that all the generals were focused on him, he continued, "Maybe you have been thinking in your hearts, what is the purpose of this king to gather these 220,000 cavalry and 30,000 heavy infantry in such a valley? So now this king will tell you that this king will gather the army here, just waiting for Mo Dahan and his 200,000 Beirong elite cavalry, as for what Meng Buge and what Haoge, they are just Mo Dahan's pawns, we don't need to care about them, our goal is to defeat Mo Dahan and his 200,000 Beirong elite cavalry, and then completely annihilate this Beirong cavalry that let our Dayan suffer enough. As long as Mo Dahan is annihilated, then we can kill Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop, as long as we capture Yanmen Pass, when you say, whether it is Meng Buge in the northern capital or Haoge in Shangzhou, where else can he run? Haven't you obediently become the meat on our chopping board? ”

After listening to Ji Qingchen's words, the generals all gasped.

Because they didn't expect Ji Qingchen's appetite to be so big, not only to defeat Beirong, but also to persuade the 300,000 elite horsemen of Beirong to enter Yanmen Pass.

But the generals in the big tent were all Ji Qingchen's henchmen, and they witnessed Ji Qingchen's ability to wipe out nearly 100,000 people in the battle of Caozhou, which was impossible to win.

This made them believe in Ji Qingchen's words.

Now hearing Ji Qingchen's strategic intentions, everyone couldn't help but be shocked, in addition to the high-spirited battle accident emanating from his body, his eyes also showed a strong desire for battle achievements.

"However, if we want to completely annihilate the more than 200,000 Beirong elite cavalry in Modahan, this is a test for us, as long as there is a flaw in our tactics, it may be our own 200,000 troops that will be completely annihilated." Ji Qingchen's mind was very clear-headed, and he said loudly, "So in the face of the vanguard cavalry sent by Mo Dahan, tonight we must completely annihilate the 30,000 Blue Banner cavalry of Tuba, and we can't leave a single living mouth, so that we can continue the next step of planning." ”

"Please give the Governor's order!" The generals roared in unison.

"Xu Dachun, your devil rider has not been on the battlefield until now, let them taste meat tonight! Let this king also see how strong the heavy cavalry you have trained is, and see if they can take on great responsibilities in the future. Ji Qingchen ordered very easily.

"No!" Xu Dachun said excitedly.

Because the Devil Cavalry has just been formed and has not fought with the enemy, if it is rash to confront Mo Dahan's 200,000 iron cavalry, there may be a lack of combat experience, or in the face of several times the Beirong Elite Cavalry and the willpower is not firm, and now Ji Qingchen ordered them to confront the 30,000 Beirong Elite Cavalry, Xu Dachun knew that this is Ji Qingchen wants to let the Devil Cavalry practice his hands, so that when it comes to the real battlefield of the confrontation with Mo Dahan, the Devil Cavalry can play a decisive role.

"Just 20,000 devils riding is not enough, and all 30,000 elite riders of the Blue Banner are annihilated. Xiang Ziyu, you lead the 30,000 Rui Soldiers battalion back to the rear of the Zhenglan Banner, and you must block their way back and leave them all on the battlefield. Ji Qingchen ordered, "Tonight, let this king also see the combat effectiveness of your heavy infantry elite battalion, and see if they are the nemesis of the Beirong light cavalry." ”

"The last general commands!" Xiang Ziyu took the order loudly.

"Liu Qingqing, Wang Yin, each of you led 10,000 black eagle riders to respond to the devil's cavalry." Ji Qingchen continued to order.

"No!" Liu Qingqing and Wang Yin commanded.

"General Cheng, tonight, all the military affairs in the camp will be handed over to you." Ji Qingchen said to Cheng Qianfan on the side.

"The last general commands!" Cheng Qianfan commanded.

"Brother Xiang Cheng, today you will go with this king to see a good show!" Ji Qingchen said to Bai Xiangcheng with a smile.

"Dare to disobey!" Bai Xiangcheng replied happily.

"Go down and prepare! We're going tonight! Ji Qingchen ordered. The generals in the tent took orders and strode out of the tent.

In the evening, at midnight.

A cavalry team rushed out of the barracks in the valley, they were Xiang Ziyu's 30,000 heavy infantry, all of them were used for transportation, and they disappeared at the mouth of the valley in an instant. The second group that appeared was a mixed cavalry of 40,000 people, Xu Dachun and the Devil Cavalry and Wang Yin and Liu Qingqing's Black Eagle Cavalry, and the heavy infantry that followed Xiang Ziyu also disappeared at the mouth of the valley. And the third is that the number of cavalry in the valley mouth is very small, only more than a thousand people, this is Ji Qingchen's eight hundred Xiao cavalry battalion and the four hundred guards of Baixiang City, they are not like the first army and the first army marching rapidly, but slowly disappearing in small steps at the mouth of the valley.

Then the camp at the mouth of the valley by the creek fell into a dark silence again.

"Brother Xiang Cheng, do you think this battle will be able to annihilate Tuba's 30,000 Blue Banner cavalry as this king predicted?" Ji Qingchen, who was riding on a horse, asked.

"Seventy thousand versus thirty thousand, Xiang Cheng really can't think of a reason to let Tuba Zhenglanqi escape, otherwise the main general will be incompetent, and His Highness's sword will be stained with blood again." Bai Xiangcheng said murderously.

As long as he talked about the war, his expression was very serious, not at all like his usual appearance.

"How are you doing with Mulan?" Ji Qingchen asked suddenly.

"This-" Bai Xiangcheng was surprised, he didn't know what to say for a while, he and Mulan were in love, but if he told Ji Qingchen about Lu Dao so early, he was not mentally prepared.

"Mulan is the daughter of this king's senior brother, and the senior brother has a great favor to this king, if it weren't for the killing of the deputy general sent to him by the Empress Dowager Xiao in Ningwuguan, it is estimated that this king would not be able to get out of Ningwuguan and return to Dayan." Ji Qingchen said, "So since the senior brother sent his children to this king, this king treats them as relatives. ”

Hearing Ji Qingchen say this, Bai Xiangcheng knew that Ji Qingchen did not object to him associating with Mulan, so he assured Ji Qingchen, "Your Highness, this Xiangcheng Zhilu Dao, please rest assured, Xiangcheng will definitely not lose Mulan." ”

"For Brother Xiang Cheng's character, this king has nothing to worry about!" Ji Qingchen said with a smile, "However, this king doesn't want to marry Mulan to a small general, which is too insulting to the prestige of the senior brother, Brother Xiangcheng, you have to work hard." So in this battle with Beirong, Brother Xiang Cheng, you should fight for a count's title! ”

"This-" Bai Xiangcheng hesitated, because the earl in Bai Xiangcheng's Zhilu Dao Ji Qingchen's mouth was not the earl of the empty hat that ran all over the streets of Dayan Jun's city, but a real earl with a fiefdom territory, just like his grandfather Bai Jin's Jinghou and Ji Qingchen's Northern Liao King.

"Brother Xiang Cheng, you are the one who is destined to be crowned king, don't you even dare to think about a little earl now?" Ji Qingchen said with a smile.

Then he galloped away. Left behind a blank face of the White Neck.

And Bai Xiangcheng, who was riding on the horse, came back to his senses, and after a moment of recalling the meaning of Ji Qingchen's words just now, his face suddenly showed a flush, because he understood the meaning of Ji Qingchen's words, so he whispered excitedly, "Thank you, Your Highness!" Xiang Cheng will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations! ”

After that, he forgot the direction of the camp of the Great Khan of Beijung in the distance, and a chilling murderous aura flashed in his eyes. The killing machine was just a flash, and he returned to normal, urging the horse to catch up with Ji Qingchen.

Bai Xiangcheng, who caught up with Ji Qingchen, didn't say anything more, and Ji Qingchen also remained silent.

In this way, the two galloped for three hours, and finally reached the edge of a cliff at the ugly hour. And below the cliff is a military camp, the gate of the camp is fluttering a big flag, on which is written the word "Rong", and the person who draws a blue wolf head, is the blue flag camp of Tuba.

Standing quietly on the cliff on horseback, looking at the military camp under the cliff, Ji Qingchen asked Li Changzheng beside him, "Are Xu Dachun, Xiang Ziyu, Liu Qingqing, and Wang Yin ready?" ”

"They are already on standby, waiting for His Highness's order!" Li Changzheng said.

"Let them attack!" Ji Qingchen said, sighed again, and said to himself, "It's a pity that it's not daytime!" ”

As his order was delivered, he saw a flaming feather arrow appear in the sky above the Blue Banner military camp under the cliff, slashing through the sky of the camp like a meteor and shooting into the camp.

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the camp, "There is an enemy attack-"

"Hurry up and meet the enemy, the enemy is attacking the camp-"

"Gather the army—"

This rain of arrows made the camp of the Zhenglan Banner a little chaotic all of a sudden, but fortunately, Tuba appeared in time to stabilize the panicked army, but when he stabilized the formation and was about to meet the enemy, he sent the enemy but did not take advantage of the chaos to kill into the camp, but heard the scout say that the enemy was quietly waiting for his attack from a mile away.

This made Tuba a little puzzled, because the enemy could have entered the camp just now and gave his army a chance to strike a head-on blow, but why would they give up such an opportunity and want to fight with their own dignified flat ground? However, the enemy was in front of him, and Tuba couldn't think so much, and after listening to the report of the guards around him, saying that the army had no casualties, he gave the order to charge the 30,000 cavalry of the Zhenglan Banner that had been assembled.

"It's a pity that Xu Dachun didn't take advantage of the chaos to enter the camp just now!" Li You, who was beside Ji Qingchen on the edge of the cliff, suddenly spoke.

"Do you think so too?" Ji Qingchen asked Mu Zhan beside him. Mu Zhan's personality is like that of his father Mu Feng, he is a taciturn person, he just nodded.

"If it is placed on the battlefield in peacetime, Xu Dachun has indeed wasted the best opportunity to attack." Ji Qingchen said, "But the current situation is different, now his purpose is to train heavy cavalry, if he takes advantage of the chaos to attack the Beirong cavalry, the enemy's forces are scattered, and he can't gather any combat effectiveness, so he can't achieve the purpose of training heavy cavalry at all." ”

"Therefore, only by fighting with the Beirong cavalry can we test the real combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry and achieve the purpose of training." Bai Xiangcheng added.

"But in this way, the Beirong cavalry solidifies the battle, won't the heavy cavalry have greater losses?" Mu Zhan asked.

"The loss of 1,000 or even 2,000 men in this battle is better than the loss of 20,000 in a battle with the 200,000 elite cavalry of Modahan." Ji Qingchen said with a smile, "This is war, as long as it is not a soldier who surrenders without a fight, there will definitely be casualties." And as a famous general, what he can do is to achieve the greatest victory at the minimum cost, and exchange his own minimum casualties for the enemy's maximum casualties. ”
