Horse on the World

Chapter 147 Miscalculation
*Big guys, give the gunners all the votes for today!The gunman's push for tickets is bleak!
In September, there was still a calm between Dingzhou and the grassland. Apart from letting Qinghong and Qinghong go to Luofengpo, a hundred miles away from Shanglin, to build a camp, Bayar didn't do anything else. After Yaer lost Shanglinli, he really has no plans for Dongkou this year.Entering Luofeng City was only to prevent Dingzhou cavalry from penetrating deeper into the hinterland of the grassland.

But Li Qing felt a little uneasy. If Bayar had the kind of temperament that was willing to admit defeat, he would not have achieved what he is today. A generation of heroes will always strike in unexpected places, and it will definitely be fatal Li Qing believed that there must be some kind of conspiracy brewing under Bayar's calm surface. As for how far this conspiracy has fermented, no one knows.

At this time in previous years, the smell of war could already be smelled, and the two sides were already at war, but this year it was strangely calm, and the people of Dingzhou were happy with it, thinking that after Marshal Li's army captured Shanglinli, they had successfully deterred Living with those prairie barbarians, this year can pass by in peace.But Dingzhou executives don't think so.

Uneasy Li Qing arrived at Shanglinli, and accompanied by Lu Dalin, he inspected the entire city defense of Shanglinli. The main city of Shanglinli has been built, and the surface construction of the fortress has also been completed. Connected with the earthwork, the villagers have started to burn wasteland and dig the land.They are going to plant wheat here, and in the coming year, this place will become a fertile field with rolling waves of wheat, providing an endless supply of food for Shanglin.

Standing on the top of the city in Shanglinli, Li Qing said: "General Lu, have you been so peaceful these past few months?"

"That's right. When Shanglinli first built the city, I was really worried. I was on guard day and night against the sudden attack of barbarian cavalry. But as the city defense system in Shanglinli became more and more mature, I gradually relaxed. It seems that the people in Shanglinli The loss has dealt a great blow to Bayar, and he has indeed died down this year."

Hearing that the experienced Lu Dalin also made such a judgment, Li Qing's heart was slightly relieved.

"Has the sentry on Luofeng City continued?"

"The scouts of both sides have been strangling each other in this garden of more than a hundred miles. Small-scale confrontations exist from time to time. Regarding Luofeng City, the Qing and Red departments are extremely careful. Our scouts can't get close at all. Once they get close, they will I was killed by the opponent with all their strength, and I have lost hundreds of people in the past few months."

Li Qing's face changed slightly, "That is to say, you haven't figured out what Qinghong and Qinghong are doing in Luofengpo?"

"I don't know, but I will stay the same. No matter what the Qing and Hong departments want to do, I just need to keep them on Luofengpo." Lu Dalin said, "They want to attack Dingzhou, so Shanglin It must be taken down here, and if we hold here, we will strangle the opponent's throat, and we will not be afraid of their tricks."

"What if the green and red parts didn't do anything in Luofengpo?"

"Ah?" Lu Dalin didn't react, looked at Li Qing, a little dazed.

"I mean, the Qing and Hong tribes, with a population of tens of thousands and [-] to [-] elite soldiers, were stationed in Luofeng City and built a huge camp, but they did not store food, and did not accumulate siege equipment. Where is the purpose stationed?"

Lu Dalin was surprised and said: "This is impossible. From my point of view, Bayar wants to manage Luofengpo as the second Shanglinli, but Luofengpo is not enough to do this no matter in terms of geographical location or other aspects." It is a heavy task, so there can only be a temporary temporary base, and the opponent will definitely store food and build siege equipment for use in attack."

Li Qing slammed the city wall hard, "No, General Lu, send a battalion of troops to raid Luofengpo and fight him with a blitzkrieg. I don't ask them to occupy Luofengpo, and I don't want them to cause much damage to the enemy. I know, what is the other party doing in Luofengpo? Bayar will never do such a useless effort. If the Qing and Hong departments have always had the intention of attacking you, or even put it into action, then I am relieved, but right now This situation is really weird.”

Lu Dalin hesitated for a while, and immediately replied: "Yes, I will immediately send a cavalry to fight to the vicinity of Luofeng City to find out the truth."

Turning around, he said to the soldiers beside him, "Quickly pass on Lu Dabing to the future."

At sunset, Lu Dabing led [-] Dingzhou iron cavalry to rush out of Shanglinli, and rushed to Luofeng City like lightning. In the official hall of Lu Dalin in Shanglinli, Li Qing and Lu Dalin sat opposite each other, silently waiting for Lu Dabing. return.

In the middle of the night, there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes outside the city, cheers came from the top of the city, the two looked at each other, and Lu Dabing came back, a moment later, Lu Dabing rushed in covered in blood, saluted the two of them, and said: " Big brother, big brother, I'm back!"

"How is it?" Lu Dalin asked anxiously.

"It's okay, I rushed into the camp of the Red Ministry, went around in a circle, and came out again. I probably killed more than a hundred people on the other side, and I lost about the same manpower. These barbarians have been falling behind me. , and did not return until we saw the cavalry who came to meet us."

"I'm not asking you this, but what did you see in the Red Ministry's camp?"

Lu Dabing thought about it for a while, "Commander, it's really strange, the Red Department does not have the siege equipment you mentioned, and in terms of the intensity of their counterattack, there are not as many people as the sentry at the beginning? From my point of view, there are no more than [-] people in the Red Army camp, including the old and the weak, and at most [-] to [-] cavalry."

"If you attack the Red Ministry camp, how will the Qing Ministry react?"

"The camp of the Qing Department is about ten miles away from the Red Department. The two camps are arranged in a line. When I rushed out, I was afraid that they would come out to intercept the camp, but to my surprise, although the other party was on guard, they did not participate in the attack on me. Chase."

With a bang, Lu Dalin slammed his fist on the table, causing the things on the table to jump up, "I've been fooled!" He said fiercely.I'm afraid the main force of Qinghong and Red have already retreated.

"Da Bing has worked hard, you should go and have a rest first!" Li Qing calmly said to Lu Da Bing.

Seeing Lu Dabing turn around and leave the hall, Li Qing turned around and looked at the map hanging on the wall, "Ba Yaer, what are you paying attention to?" Turning around suddenly, he said to Lu Dalin, "No matter what he is paying attention to, but these two Everyone, it seems that Bayar is going to give it to me, General Lu, the whole army is mobilized, and I pulled out these two nails."

"It's the commander!" Lu Dalin said loudly, feeling ashamed and annoyed that he had been fooled by these savages for so long. They withdrew the main force part by part, leaving an empty shell in Luofengpo to confuse themselves. No wonder the scouts on both sides spared no effort to kill their own scouts. It turned out that they were afraid that they would discover the secret.If the commander-in-chief hadn't discovered the clue, he didn't know how long he would have been kept a secret.

Seeing Lu Dalin leaving angrily, Li Qing paced back and forth in the hall, why, why did Bayar do this?It's understandable to use yourself to consume part of the strength of the two parts of Qinghong, but is it limited to this?

Pressing his finger on the map, he moved inch by inch on the border. Suddenly, his finger stopped, and a place name appeared in his eyes at the place where his fingertip pressed, "Dingyuan Fort!" Li Qing shouted.

Huhe, Huhe's wolf-running army, if Xuhe's wolf-running army came back from Congling Pass, the journey back to the Bai royal court would be only a few hundred miles away, if the wolf-running army never turned back to the royal court, but Is it a direct attack on Dingyuan?Li Qing's body shook, no wonder Qingfeng's investigation department never saw the wolf running army appear in the royal court of the Bai clan!Estimated the date, they should return at this time.

"Yang Yidao!" he shouted.

"Master, what's the matter?"

"Turn up eight hundred miles, send it back to Dingzhou quickly, and order Wang Qinian's Tianlei Camp and Jiang Kui's Xuanfeng Camp to rush to help Dingyuan Fort."

"Ah!" Yang Yidao was taken aback, something happened to Dingyuan Fort?

"Go!" Li Qing said loudly.

"Has General Lu left?" Li Qing went out of the hall and summoned a personal guard.The personal guard pointed to several fire dragons outside the city, and said: "Commander, Vice General Lu has already set off, General Lu Dabing will stay behind in the forest."

"Call Dabing Lu over here!"

Li Qing was distraught, Huhe's wolf-running army would definitely attack Dingyuan Fort, but if Bayar didn't make a move, it would be very powerful once he did, he never thought that he would ignore Huhe's wolf-running army After a long journey, let them attack Dingyuan directly, but the problem is that I have very few troops stationed in Dingyuan Fort, and it is impossible to stop the wolf running army, even if the opponent is also exhausted.

Miscalculated, I still underestimated Bayar!
