When the generals of Beishan heard this, they were even more excited. Someone said: "Director Xiao is good at planning and commanding with the commander, our battle will surely be successful in one fell swoop."

"Master Commander, when will we set off?" Someone asked: "It's already the hour of You, and there is no movement in the city. Should we send someone to stare at them?"

"Don't worry, I have sent someone here." Luo Dingxi said solemnly: "There is no movement in the city, which is the biggest problem. Our army is approaching. How can there be no movement in the city? I'm afraid they have secretly reorganized their troops and are preparing to withdraw their troops."

A tough general immediately said: "Mr. Commander, since we already know that the Xiguan army is going to retreat overnight, are we going to encircle now so that we will not escape by them at night."

"Don't alert the snake." Luo Dingxi said in a deep voice: "Even if they leave the city, we cannot attack immediately."

“Why?”

"When they first left the city, their fighting spirit did not completely dissipate." Luo Dingxi said: "If I had a good estimate and retreated from Qingtang City, their formation would naturally be very complete and would not be scattered. Moreover, they may not be careful of us, so we must not attack when they left the city."

"What the lord said is very much." A general nodded and said, "As soon as they left the city, we immediately launched an attack. Even if we win, the loss will definitely be great."

Luo Dingxi said: "One step, then decline, and three. When they first retreated, their morale was in full swing, but as long as they retreated for a while, they found that we did not launch an attack, their vigilance would naturally weaken, and the further they retreated, the weaker the morale would be. According to our general's estimate, after evacuating thirty miles, their relaxed heart would appear...!" He was on the horse whip and drew a few paintings on the ground. "Thirty miles north of Qingtang City, that is the flat area, and the most suitable cavalry assault, so I decided to launch a full-scale attack on them thirty miles north of Qingtang City."

When all the generals heard this, they nodded.

"After the Xiguan army retreated to a distance of 30 miles, our cavalry first rushed up from the back, launched an assault, and dispersed their formation. We had five thousand cavalry in our hands, all of which were put into it. Their troops were less than 20,000, and the five thousand cavalry were enough to completely mess their formation. At that time, the left and right wings would come out and defeat the Xiguan army in one fell swoop."

"Sir, are our soldiers on both wings?"

Luo Dingxi smiled and said, "Not yet, I will be assigned to you now." He continuously drew topographic maps on the ground, "Their retreat route must be this area covered by the Xiguan Army, and this area. Here, there are also their two wings, which are difficult to cover. Li Hu, you lead the five thousand troops in the headquarters, and now set off immediately, put out the lights, so that everyone should not make any noise, detour the left wing, and take the lead to ambush the left wing before the Xiguan Army leaves the city. Zhao Bo, you lead the five thousand troops in the headquarters, and set off at the same time as Li Hu, and ambush the right wing before the Xiguan Army arrives."

The two generals immediately bowed, "The last one will obey the order!"

"Don't delay, just dispatch troops now. Remember, you must be silent along the way and don't be noticed by the Xiguan army." Luo Dingxi said solemnly.

The two of them immediately said yes, retreated, ordered their troops, and quickly circled the wings of Qingtang City as Luo Dingxi ordered.

After the two generals left, Luo Dingxi ordered again: "Song Youde, the cavalry will be handed over to your hands. Calculate the time. When the Xiguan Army reaches the ambush, your five thousand cavalry have arrived. At that time, launch an assault on them immediately. This general leads the infantry to cover up from behind. Will the two wings come out at the same time? At that time, the Xiguan Army will definitely be defeated by attacking them from the bottom."

All the generals were flickering their eyes and were very excited.

"Pu Cunrui, you lead 4,000 troops from your headquarters. After the Xiguan army withdrew, you will immediately seize Qingtang City and stationed in Qingtang City. Without the order of this general, you must guard Qingtang closely."

The general named Pu Cunrui suddenly showed disappointment and couldn't help saying, "Sir, you didn't say that our target is Jiazhou City. If the Xiguan army retreated from Qingtang, then Qingtang City would have no strategic significance. Why should we keep people here to garrison? The Xiguan army also has more than 10,000 people, all of whom have experienced a long battle formation. Our army should concentrate all its troops and defeat them in one go...!"

Luo Dingxi frowned and said, "I am using troops, don't you understand? When will I throw out all the cards in my hand? Even if it is a foolproof war, I will leave some troops as support."

Pu Cunrui could only bow and say, "I am humble and receive the order!"

Luo Dingxi carefully followed the subordinates. Li Hu and Zhao Bo's two troops had retreated quietly from the main formation. The troops were not scared and were divided into two wings to quickly advance to the expected location before the Xiguan army withdrew.

When the dispatch was completed, the generals returned to their formation. Luo Dingxi looked at Qingtang City under the dark curtain in the distance, with a cold expression.

As time passes, the generals of Beishan are ready to go. Although it only takes an hour from You to Shu, the generals of Beishan seem to have waited for a thousand years.

Luo Dingxi was calm. Just after the garrison, a scout came quickly to report: "Report to the Lord, the north gate of Qingtang City is opened, and some soldiers are withdrawing from the north gate!"

Luo Dingxi was originally sitting on the ground, but when he heard this, he suddenly stood up, his eyes flashed with a cold and stern look. A accompanying general beside him said happily: "Master, the Xiguan Army has indeed withdrawn. It is really a magical idea."

Luo Dingxi held the horse whip and stared at Qingtang City.

"Sir, are we chasing you?"

Luo Dingxi shook his head and said, "The whole army should not act rashly. It is time to... send orders to the whole army prepare on the spot."

A moment later, another scout came to report: "Report that the Xiguan army has withdrawn the large group of troops. They have not lit the torch and are preparing to escape at night."

"Searching again, see when all the Xiguan troops will be withdrawn? In addition, can the Xiguan troops leave troops in the city?"

Half an hour later, the scout reported again: "Report that the Xiguan army has all withdrawn, the north gate has been closed, we climbed into the city, the city was silent, there was no soldier on the top of the city, and no one guarded the city gate, and the people in the city closed the gate."

Luo Dingxi said in a deep voice: "Okay." He ordered: "Send the order, the entire army should not bring a torch, and all the torches will be left in place. The 4,000 people of Pu Cunrui's troops will be left here. Keep the torches and treat them as suspicious soldiers. Other soldiers and horses will immediately go out of the battle, light and simple. No one can make a sound. Cavalry war horses, horse hooves rolled cloth, and cover the horse's mouth. Whether it is a man or a horse, whoever makes a sound will kill him on the spot!"

The night was gloomy and the cold wind was blowing. Five thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry in the Beishan Mountain were under the command of Luo Dingxi, like the ghost legion in the dark night, slowly moving to the north.

There was already a bitter murderous aura in the air.

In order to ensure that everything is foolproof, Luo Dingxi sent a large number of scouts to pay attention to the movements of the Xiguan army in the front and inform the rear of the retreating Xiguan army at any time.

The Beishan Army bypassed both sides of Qingtang City, and the city was silent, as if dead. Under the dark side, the city was like a dead city, with a bit of a cold air.

There had just been a few rains on Qing Tang's side two days ago, and the ground was still muddy. Luo Dingxi was in the forefront of the team. Looking at the roads full of footprints of the Xiguan Army withdrew troops. Although there were many footprints, judging from the footprints, the Xiguan Army still maintained a relatively complete formation when it retreated, not a piece of loose sand.

When it was fifteen miles away from Qingtang City, Luo Dingxi was still observing the footprints of the Xiguan Army, but found that the formation of the Xiguan Army had begun to move a little. When he walked forward five miles, the signs of the formation were quite obvious. Countless footprints were superimposed, trampling the ground into mud, and there were even many things left behind.

"Sir, there are still ten miles of land, which is the ambush site." The general beside him reminded: "Can we send cavalry to rush forward and launch an assault?"

Luo Dingxi pondered for a moment, knowing that the cavalry was chasing the infantry, and it was almost over. The Xiguan Army should have retreated about thirty miles north of Qingtang City. Knowing that the time had come, he did not hesitate and said in a deep voice: "I ordered Song Youde to get on the horse and chase after him immediately, and Wuxu completely dispersed the formation of the Xiguan Army."

Although the cavalry was also chasing silently, the cavalry soldiers did not ride on the horse's back. Before launching the attack, in order to save the strength of the war horses, all of the cavalry led their war horses on foot.

General Luo Dingxi passed on, and the cavalry troops who had been waiting for a long time did not hesitate, and they all boarded the horse. Song Youde held the sabre in his hand and rode his horse in front of the formation. He then whispered: "Brothers, raise troops for a thousand days and use troops for a while. Tonight is a great opportunity for you to make achievements. In front of him is the retreating Xiguan Army. rush up with me and disperse their formation. Remember, the first priority is not to take their heads, but to completely disperse their formations." Raising the sword, "After this battle, Duke Xiao will naturally reward you." Turning the horse's head, waved the sabre, and rushed directly in front of the team. The five thousand cavalry behind him, the real ace of the Beishan Army, followed behind Song Youde, swept forward like a wolf or a tiger, and swept forward like a huge wave.

These five thousand cavalry were gathered by Xiao Huanzhang's blood. They were strong and powerful, and they ran like tides. This was a complete raid. With this fierce momentum, it stimulated the sprint potential of the war horses.

They knew that the Xiguan Army was not far ahead. When the cavalry sprinted, they could catch up in a blink of an eye. All the cavalry were already in their hands. Song Youde said that the main purpose was to disperse the enemy's formation. He did not want to cut off the heads for the time being, but in this momentum, during the assault, he could cut off a few heads and exert the power of the Beishan cavalry, which was what these cavalry were willing to see.
