"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of hurried horses' hooves suddenly sounded, waking up Lu Chong, who was contemplative, only to see a horse galloping quickly, shouting loudly: "The Pinglu army is dispatched, a total of 20,000 troops, coming from Qingzhou, it is Liu Jingwu's rash army!" ”

Before the words fell, dozens of scouts of the Pinglu army in the distance galloped towards them, and the intention of killing filled the heavens and the earth, and the knight did not come to the city, but turned his horse's head and headed to the northwest.

In an instant, Qizhou City sounded a hurried alarm bell.

The longbowmen on the tower immediately bent their bows and arrows to be prepared.

"Squeak Quack......"

The heavy city gate was opened, and Liu Mu led the team to gallop out, rolling up gusts of wind. It was precisely because the intensity of the scouts sent by the scouts had become smaller in recent days that the Pinglu soldiers learned that Liu Mu was going out of the city to investigate the military situation.

After Liu Mou beat his horse out of the city, he did not entangle with the scouts of the Pinglu army, and went straight to the northwest.

"Boom ......"

The heavy city gate was closed again, and the guards of Fanyang Mansion quickly entered the position after hearing the alarm bell, and waited for the battle. Villagers who were still repairing roads outside Beimen also stopped working, and the baggage battalion was busy adjusting ballistas and other facilities.

There is no doubt that the Qingzhou Pinglu Army will attack at the south gate, so at the south gate, a team of sixty first-class sergeants was concentrated as the core defensive force.

In Liu Feng's army, all units still spare no effort in the training of first-class sergeants, and they all know that this kind of highly skilled sergeant who forgets to die can exert amazing results in key places.

Of course, in addition to this, Liu Feng will not just rely on the sergeants under Deng Jieyu to repel the Qingzhou Pinglu army, he also concentrated almost one guard along the canal as a reserve, and when Qizhou encountered difficulties in defending the city, he went down the canal.

In addition, the Sea Wolf Battalion also participated in this operation, they went up the river from Gaocheng Port along the mouth of the Yellow River, entered the canal, and did logistics support work for the government guards stationed in Qizhou City.

The villagers of Qizhou City may not have panicked in the city when they learned that the Pinglu army had reoccupied Qizhou City, and there were still people in Qizhou who wanted to participate in the defense of the city.

The villagers and ordinary sergeants don't understand the truth, but how Deng Jieyu and Lu Chong don't understand this situation is because Liu Feng has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the north, and his series of policies and measures have attracted the love of villagers, craftsmen, small traders, and even low-level officials.

In just October, most of the villagers in Qizhou belong to Fanyang Mansion.

The alarm bell rang, and after a while, Deng Jieyu quickly came to the south gate and looked into the distance.

In less than a stick of incense, the Pinglu army covered the sky and the sun, the black pressure was the head, a big beetle hung high in the army, it was the word "Liu" embroidered with gold thread, and the Pinglu army in blue robes, like a tree vine, walked to the city of Qizhou in a strip.

Deng Jieyu heard what the scout said, Liu Jingwu rashly 20,000 soldiers, such a military situation, it had been expected for a long time, Qingzhou Pinglu army totaled more than 80,000 people, in fact, more than 60,000 people, Qizhou Wei Maode's nearly 8,000 people were scattered.

Even if Liu Jingwu has sufficient troops, he can only transfer 20,000 soldiers, which is also his bottom line, if these 20,000 soldiers are killed, he still has the strength to protect himself.

Liu Jingwu, who watched the moon in October, finally couldn't stop it, he originally wanted to make peace with Liu Feng, after all, the muffled sound of gunpowder, unusual gunpowder, holding such a sharp weapon, Liu Jingwu had to give in.

However, Fan Yangfu's performance didn't care at all whether the Pinglu army was fighting or peace, which made Liu Jingwu a little difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to personally lead the army and try the edge of Fanyangfu's army.

He originally thought that Liu Feng, a young envoy, was only repelled by the help of the Hedong Army, but he never expected that the Fanyang Mansion Army would be so brave and good at fighting.

In the past 20 days, he carefully inquired about the situation in Fanyang Mansion, and the more he inquired, the more frightened he became, and along the way with the army, he tensed his nerves and did not dare to slack off in the slightest, he even intended to make peace with Liu Feng.

But the bloody facts are in front of him, if he leads the army to Qizhou to fight, his Pinglu army general's heart plummets, so he has to take the risk and lead the army to Qizhou.

However, when he was in the city of other states, he couldn't help but gasp, the city of Qizhou was renovated, the city wall was thickened and thickened, and the city wall was five zhang high, lying in front of him.

The army he led was a Qingzhou army, which had not been in battle for several years, and he was in a hurry, and he had not prepared siege equipment, if it was the original Qizhou City, he could also rely on the advantage of his troops to storm the city, but now Qizhou City is not feasible.

"Why have the walls become taller?" Liu Jingwu roared,

"Angry old man!"

Liu Jingwu was shocked for a while, and angry for a while.

In just ten months, Deng Jieyu increased Qizhou City by more than a zhang, how could this make him accept, but at this time there was no other way but to order people to prepare for war quickly.

Liu Jingwu, who calmed down, ordered people to camp five miles south of Qizhou City, and coerced the surrounding villagers to make siege equipment, which was nothing more than a simple stone throwing truck with a ladder.

While his generals were busy, he also fell into deep thought.

Liu Feng's performance is tantamount to the second Guo Wei, in the civil affairs and military strategy, there are certain achievements, and most of them are recognized by the villagers in the north, Guo Wei is over half a hundred years old, but Liu Feng is not the crown.

The situation in the court is secretive, as the king of a town, how can he not know whether he is the king of himself, or go south to the Southern Tang Dynasty, or serve the court, he is waiting! Also sitting on the wall!

He is a figure whose political vision goes far beyond military strategy, which is also the reason why he has been delaying the dispatch of troops, and he is waiting for Liu Feng's political means to compromise and negotiate peace.

"General!"

The guards interrupted Liu Jingwu's musings.

"What?"

He asked in a deep voice,

"The big tent has been built in the city, can the general raise the tent to the military council?"

"Let the captains of all departments come to the account!" When he arrived, it was already inconvenient to attack the city, and he did not have many means for combat matters, so he still had to rely on his troops to complete it in the future.

……

In the city of Qizhou, in the meeting hall.

Everyone sat upright, but they did not feel that the enemy was approaching the city.

The march and camping is the most important test of the combat effectiveness of an army, they are in the city, the march of the Lu army, and looking at the camp of the Pinglu army from afar, they have already known it, so they are so calm and composed.

Deng Jieyu, who was sitting in the first place, was thinking about whether to sneak attack the Pinglu army camp at night, but he didn't say this, he knew that as long as he revealed some meaning, these elite soldiers who sat down would happily agree.

However, Deng Jieyu is also a person who knows the art of vertical and horizontal, he knows that the proportionality of the battle with the Pinglu army is not suitable to defeat the Pinglu army in a battle, so that the eyes of all the military towns are all staring at Fanyang Mansion, and even the Hedong Army has to take precautions against Fanyang Mansion.

This is the result that Liu Feng and the people of Fanyang Mansion do not want to, so for repelling the Pinglu army, but not exposing too much of the force of the Fanyang Mansion army, this is to test his command ability as a captain.
