The Erqing grassland is a five- to ten-mile Gobi Desert in the area connecting Dingnan City! It is the evolution of an ancient river channel.

The vanguard troops of the Great Jin Shence Army are currently stationed at the edge of this grassland, after all, the cavalry troops are camped in the grassland, but they are much stronger than camping on the Gobi Desert.

First of all, from the perspective of concealment, it is also considered by the Lord, and secondly, there is the secondary factor of water source and pasture.

But in fact, one of the main reasons was that Song Xiang, the vanguard officer of the Shence Army, was ordered by the general Zhang Chongbao to camp five to ten miles away from Dingnan City.

At the same time, two days ago, someone from Dingnan City came to meet with the Shence Army, which was a person who had been arranged by the Shendu Imperial Court a long time ago, and reported the current situation in Dingnan City.

The Shence Army still didn't dare to get too close, after all, the combat strength of the Dingnan Army was not blown out! Before the Dingnan City was empty, the Great Jin Shence Army could not take any action.

Another thing, according to the previous intelligence and the strategic planning before departure, the defenders of Dingnan City, the Divine Guard Flying Cavalry, must be transferred to Dingnan Pass, and have already converged with the defending army, and sent troops to fight with the Southern Tang army!

At this time, it is the time for the Shence Army to officially set off to take over Dingnan City, it is too early or late, and the forward of the Shence Army is already so close to Dingnan City, which is too fast!

The striker Song Xiang didn't want to be so fast, but the cavalry ran happily on the grassland, and it was not so easy to control the speed, so they came two days early.

If no one comes to Dingnan City to report the information, the forward of the Shence Army will naturally not be able to move, and the brigade may be here in the next two days!

Just now, Song Xiang received a military order from the general Zhang Chongbao behind, saying that the Shenwei flying cavalry outside Dingnan City had already left, and Dingnan City was currently empty, but the Shenwei flying cavalry had not yet joined the defending army, so it was unknown when the battle with the Southern Tang army would start, so he asked him to wait patiently for two more days.

Song Xiang convened a meeting of his officers, they had been camping on the edge of the Erqing grassland for four or five days, and now that the military order did not allow them to move, it would be equivalent to losing the role of the striker, what should they do?

"General Song, we are the vanguard, now that the Divine Guard Flying Cavalry has been transferred to Dingnan Pass, Dingnan City is empty, we can take Dingnan City lightly, why don't you let us move?"

The questions of the officers below made many pairs of eyes focus on Song Xiang, and as a pioneer officer, he was quite helpless.

"Our horse scouting report, the flying cavalry is currently camped five miles away from Dingnan Pass, you calculate the distance, at this time we attack Dingnan City, the flying cavalry will definitely come back to copy our back road! Their horses are fast, their horses are ...... Grandma drips!"

Song Xiang cursed, he was really a little envious of the war horses of the flying cavalry, I heard that the war horses had wings on their four legs, and the horses were fast, once the cavalry fought, whose horses were fast would of course take advantage of endless advantages.

"If we are so consumed here, we will lose all the sharpness of the forwards!"

Song Xiang smiled bitterly: "The general arranged it like this, naturally there is a reason for him, in fact, the general will not look at the striker or not, as long as we don't act rashly, the general will naturally remember us." ”

Someone nodded and said: "I heard that Hongzhao, the king of Dingnan, is like a god in his army, and the Bai Jianzhou under him is not bad, and it is reasonable for the general to be cautious." But ......!"

Everyone looked at him, and Song Xiang even asked, "But what?"

The man looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "The Flying Cavalry Army is not easy to mess with! We have made outstanding achievements in battles over the years, so we should naturally be cautious, but our men and horses are so close, and the calculation on the general's side is probably not simply the meaning of a striker, right?"

"You're saying we're actually bait!"

The man didn't answer, but nodded to Song Xiang, who guessed the answer.

At this time, Song Xiang's face was a little unsightly, he understood why the other party said this, which of those famous military leaders in the Shence Army was not a scheming person, and it was not new to make a special arrangement on the battlefield, but he still kept himself a secret from himself as a bait, which was very inauthentic.

After thinking for a while, Song Xiang ordered: "All departments are always vigilant, ready to retreat at any time, and besides, we don't have much dry food to carry, and now there is no food and grass, urge the team that went to the back to escort the grain and grass to come over as soon as possible." ”

When the generals were about to disperse, suddenly a person outside ran in like crazy, shouting: "Report to General Song, report ——! our grain and grass have been robbed!"

At this moment, Song Xiang and the generals were all shocked! Song Xiang separated, and everyone stepped forward to pick up the messenger and asked, "What did you say? What kind of grain and grass did people rob?"

“...... Yes, it is God...... It was the Divine Guard Flying Cavalry, and they were waving a banner with the word 'white' written on it, "The one who reported the news was out of breath, and it was obvious that he was also very flustered."

Song Xiang sent the messenger, and the man retreated, Song Xiang's face was already pale, which showed that the flying cavalry had already reflected and launched an action against his own forward military horse!

If it is said that the Flying Cavalry has robbed them of their grain and grass, this is not the worst thing, but the Flying Cavalry Bai Jianzhou must have surpassed their back road! This is the most important thing.

"Order the camp to be pulled!, let's retreat quickly!" Song Xiang immediately ordered.

"General, Bai Jianzhou has copied our back road, which direction should we retreat?"

"Xiang ...... Xiang, go north!" Song Xiang said.

Song Xiang is still a bit of a brain, the current situation is that it is dangerous to go west and south, and if you don't get it, people have already got a pocket waiting for them to drill, and it is obviously not possible to go east, and now the only way to retreat is to go north!

Moreover, the Erqing grassland is still avoided to the north, the Gobi Desert, the grassland grassland in the north is more dense, suitable for cavalry maneuvering, Song Xiang plans to go north first, bypassing Bai Jianzhou's flying cavalry, and then go east to join Zhang Chongbao's brigade.

This is the most reasonable analysis and judgment made by Song Xiang in a short period of time, so the vanguard of the Great Jin Shence Army had to immediately pull out the camp, and then retreated towards the northern grassland!

When the Great Jin Shence Army set off from Nanruyang City, the news had already come out, and this could not be hidden, but after the people and horses entered the grassland, it was difficult to find traces!

The vanguard team has more than 30,000 people, but some people say that it is 50,000! The purpose is also to confuse the public, Zhang Chongbao knows very well that there are too many people in the army, and it is inevitable that there will be spies by others, so he comes alone, and his own people are also false and real.

Song Xiang's more than 30,000 men and horses were not small, because what was the Shence army going to do? Most people knew that when this army approached the city of Nancheng, it would not let the other side see that there were few people.

But now this forward force is hurrying towards the northern part of the grassland at the edge of the Erqing grassland!

Although the grasslands in the north are densely pasted, there are a large number of hills, and those hills are covered with green grass, and the green is like green and fluffy steamed buns! Some of the steamed buns are quite tall.

At dusk, Song Xiang was thinking about finding a place to camp, but just behind the entire team, an arrow suddenly shot out! Then a deafening shout of killing came, accompanied by the sound of thunderous horses' hooves!

Song Xiang was terrified in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be calm, and wanted to ask, "What's the matter?" ”

The situation was quickly reported, and in front of countless people on the left and right, the scout reported: "There are ambushes in the rear flank!"

Immediately after that, another horse scouting report came up, and two groups of ambush soldiers behind him were attacking the left and right flanks of the brigade! Song Xiang's heart was blazing, and it was almost night now! This grassland terrain was unfamiliar, and it was a very terrible thing to encounter an ambush at this moment.

"General, if I'm not mistaken, there is a two-fox mountain twenty miles ahead, the terrain is the highest, which I remembered when I looked at the map last time, and we must quickly occupy the high ground. The junior general immediately gave Song Xiang a plan.

"Give the order to go down, hurry up, and go straight to the two fox mountains! Song Xiang immediately ordered.

So the forward of the tongue flank army, which had more than 30,000 men, immediately rushed forward, and the horses neighed and the horses' hooves thundered! But as they ran, the sound of arrows rang out from time to time on both sides, and then the shouts of killing would sound.

Ambushes along the way, more than 30,000 people and horses kept falling behind, and when they were about to run to the two fox mountains, there was a dense forest blocking the road!

With such a night march, the dense forest valley is a taboo for soldiers, but Song Xiang couldn't care about it so much, and led everyone into the dense forest and rushed towards the Two Fox Mountains at once!

"Poof......! poof!" The loud noise continued.

There are constant traps in the dense forest, a large number of men and horses continue to fall into the pit, the war horses are screaming, and the cavalry is screaming constantly!

Song Xiang's face was covered with sweat, he knew that it was over, Bai Jianzhou was really not an ordinary person, and now once the Flying Cavalry Army decided to deal with the Shence Army, in this battle, I am afraid that his vanguard will be wiped out!

This night, the torches lit up the entire hills and dense forests, and countless cavalry shuttled back and forth, these people were all dressed as Shenwei Flying Cavalry, and the banner they were wearing was also the banner of the Dingnan Army.

As a big flag opened, the word "white!" was eye-catching, and under the banner was displayed, a warrior with long eyes and long beard looked at everything in front of him calmly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is not simple! a random strategy will trap all the 30,000 forwards of the Shence Army here!"

A bunch of people and horses next to him walked over, and the young man on horseback was Sedum, followed by Guan Shanhai and Wang Zuonong, the two humming generals!

"General Bai! Sure enough, under this arrangement, at least more than half of the Shence army has become prisoners, why can't we kill too many of them, these people are all cavalry! It is indeed of great use to stay!"

Bai Jianzhou looked at him with a smile on his face, of course he was able to come back as a result of Sedum's efforts to keep him, Hong Zhao handed over the commander's military power to himself, it was a trust in himself, of course Bai Jianzhou would not be willing to watch the Dingnan Army be annexed by the Shence Army!

Before, he was really forced by Sedum to have no way to fight, but because Chu Yin's problem was not solved, he didn't dare to do anything, and then Sedum didn't care about the officials of the Shendu Imperial Court, and after Chu Yin was arrested, Bai Jianzhou had no worries.

"Your Highness can understand my hard work, so what should we do next?"

"You're the manager, I'm learning, you're up to the mark. Sedum said with a grin.
