Chi Erhan didn't react, and Shi Kun on the left slowly turned his head and looked at Huang Dahong calmly.

This gaze made Huang Dahong feel a little ...... is despised.

Huang Dahong burst into blood for no reason, and said loudly: "We have been guarding Xuyi City for more than 20 days, and we have sent people to ask for help seven times but there is no news...... If the prince wants reinforcements, even if he sends troops from Hangzhou Mansion, he should arrive...... General Chi, we did our best! All the blood that should have been shed has been drained...... Withdraw, don't let ...... They...... All dead here! ”

Speaking of which, Huang Dahong burst into tears, and he couldn't cry.

"Did you do your best?" Chi Erhan turned his head slowly, he looked at Huang Dahong, and then Huo Di turned around, facing the soldiers who were still gasping in the distance, the wounded soldiers who were wailing, and the soldiers who were silently carrying the dead down the city wall, and shouted: "Did we do our best?" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they all looked in the direction of Chi Erhan and the three, and they were silent.

Chi Erhan said loudly: "Some people say that we have tried our best, it is time to retreat, and we can't all die here...... But I don't agree! When I set off, the general repeatedly asked that Sizhou is the place I must take! If you get Sizhou, you will get Fengyang, lose Sizhou, Yangzhou and Huai'an will never have peace...... But today, we are still across the river from Xuyi and Sizhou...... Let's do our best? ”

The soldiers on the walls were still silent, so quiet that they could no longer hear the cries of the wounded.

Chi Erhan turned sideways sharply, pointed at the enemy figures who had retreated to their own positions in the distance under the city, and said loudly: "The enemy is also dead, they have died more than us, but they haven't stopped attacking, but we have to retreat?" ”

"If we don't go to war,

Enemies with knives,

killed us,

And he will put his finger on our bones, and say,

See?

It's a slave! ”

Someone suddenly chanted? The sound gradually becomes louder from low.

More and more soldiers joined in this chanting.

Slowly? The chanting on the walls was deafening.

Morale? Sudden rise.

Chi Erhan turned around slowly, looked at Huang Dahong and said, "You? Do your best? ”

Huang Dahong's face turned red, and he said angrily: "If it's death? It's the best you can do...... The last will be willing to die! Can? If people die, the city will not be able to hold it, so why should we die for death...... Take a step back? Regroup and fight again? Why not? ”

Chi Erhan suddenly sighed and said, "Huang Dahong, you are also a battle-hardened person, you should know...... The truth that the army is defeated like a mountain, this retreat? Where do you have to retreat to hold your foot...... Hengyang? Gaoyou? Or Jiangdu? Let's not talk about how the prince thinks about it, let's just say how many defenders are there in Yangzhou Mansion? The enemy rushed to break through the city? I'm afraid I rushed to the Yangtze River in one go...... At that time, the people of Yangzhou will be slaughtered by the enemy? Those revenants will ask you...... General Huang, did you do your best? ”

Huang Dahong's face changed several times? He stomped his foot hard? No more sound.

"General? The enemy is attacking! ”

With this sound, countless heads poured towards the battlements.

But this is a duel of attack and defense, and the enemy under the city is several times larger than mine, how can I stop it with courage and determination alone?

At this time, perhaps, as Huang Dahong said, Xuyi City may be ...... It won't last much longer.

……。

Not really.

This attack of the Qing army was a feint.

Xuyi City, under the stubborn resistance of the defenders, temporarily held.

As the main general who attacked Xuyi, Bai Yintu was very annoyed at this time.

It's not that he doesn't have confidence in breaking through Xuyi, but the bandits in the old county in the rear have given him a headache.

I don't know where to come from, and I don't know how to attack the reinforcements and supplies from Fengyang City.

At first, Baiyintu didn't care, or even didn't know.

In his opinion, these rogues are nothing more than some refugees gathered in the surrounding provinces, let them grab some points, and Bai Yintu doesn't want to be distracted.

But things were not what he thought, this kind of attack by the rogues from the beginning, more than ten, dozens, hundreds, to hundreds.

The destructive power produced by this is already not small, and it makes Bai Yintu feel pain.

Baiyintu had already sent people to encircle and suppress it three times, and the army was sent more and more, from a team of dozens of cavalry at the beginning, to three hundred cavalry by the third time.

But helplessly, as soon as the Qing cavalry arrived, the rogue retreated.

If it is an ordinary area, the cavalry can chase after it, but the Huai River turns here, and these rogues are obviously prepared and arrange a retreating ferry by the river.

As soon as the Qing cavalry appeared, they retreated to the river and boarded the boat and sailed away.

No matter how powerful the cavalry is, it can't cross it in the water, right?

Qing cavalry can only be by the river, looking at the enemy and sighing.

This time, Azig made up his mind to break through Xuyi, open the stalemate on the battlefield, and save a breath for his own movement.

He sent his blue and white Han troops, totaling 8,000 men, to reinforce the direction of Sizhou.

But the army arrived in Sizhou smoothly, but the follow-up grain and grass supply lagged behind.

Bai Yintu is a worry, is it to encircle and suppress the Liukou, or ignore it, and capture Xuyi City first?

Originally, Baiyintu wanted to take the latter, but after the fight, he understood that this method was not advisable.

Although the enemy army in Xuyi City did not have many troops, they relied on the strong city wall and firearms that the Qing army could not match, and they had held out for more than 20 days, and the Qing army attacked the city wall dozens of times, but they were all driven down the city by the defenders.

Obviously, it is impossible to win quickly, even if it is the real money of the Han army with blue flags and white flags sent by Azig now.

What's more, Baiyintu couldn't imagine that if the Han army with blue and white flags, like the army under his command, was sent to the city wall and crippled, would Azig throw his head like a melon under the horse's hooves and step on it.

Bai Yintu couldn't tolerate it, and the already stretched supplies were snatched by the old county rogues.

So Bai Yintu made up his mind to clear the rear first, exterminate the Liukou and then attack Xuyi.

So in fact, this wave of attacks on Xuyi City is just a feint, and the point will stop.

……。

Liu Fang has been quite nourishing these days.

You can do whatever you want.

At this time, he was working with his subordinates "generals", cough, in fact, Liu Fang's subordinates when he was on an errand in the inspection department, they have already all had military positions, and yes, they don't avoid relatives, their own people, they can use it easily!

He was around the bonfire with his generals and the big flowers were fast, drinking wine in big bowls and eating meat in large pieces, and the days of the king of the mountain were hearty.

He felt more and more energetic about killing people and selling goods, and what made him even more happy was that this kind of battle was too far away from the two previous fights on the side of the hill outside Hengyang Town.

He even said to the generals without shame, is there anything more interesting in this world than robbery by order?

The countless robberies of the enemy's transport teams have given Liu Fang and Hengyangwei enough opportunities for "training", and this kind of training is the actual combat training of robbery these days.
