When the water village was breached, a large number of Qi troops guarding the riverside quickly fled back to Qin County, because they didn't plan to defend the riverside, so when Wu Mingche cleaned up the various Qi army strongholds along the river and led the army to Qin County, Qin County had already gathered nearly 10,000 troops, ready to defend Qin County, waiting for reinforcements!

The army led by Wu Mingche only encountered sporadic resistance from the Qi army along the way, and successfully arrived at Qin County that night, and quickly surrounded it, preparing to take advantage of the momentum to attack Qin County in one fell swoop!

Early the next morning, Wu Mingche took a group of generals, took Xiao Yao's telescope to honor himself, and carefully observed the defenders in Qinjun City, because Xiao Yao had promised to send a telescope to Cheng Wenji, if he didn't also send one to Wu Mingche, as the commander of the army, he would definitely have an opinion about himself!

And although Xiao Yao is still only a lieutenant now, he can often enter and exit the White Tiger Festival Hall and participate in high-level meetings of the army, and Wu Mingche will consult him for many decisions, making him Wu Mingche's most valued subordinate, which is mainly because of Wu Mingche's love for Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao wants to please this army boss even more!

"Shiro, even if you know each other, give this telescope to me too, I didn't hurt you in vain! In the future, it will be more convenient to have your artifact, and now the defenders in the city can see it clearly, and even see their faces full of fear! Wu Mingche said happily.

"Haha, they have been surrounded by our army of 50,000, and yesterday's battle has beaten them to the ground, and now they are like frightened birds! Now our morale is high, and their garrison is only more than 10,000 people, please order the governor of the capital, and the last general is willing to lead his soldiers to take the lead in attacking the city! "The general Ren Mannu asked Wu Mingche for war.

"Well, although the defenders of Qin County are only more than 10,000 people, but here is only more than a hundred miles away from Xuyi, if they send reinforcements to Qin County, they will be able to arrive in a few days, we really have to capture Qin County as soon as possible, so as not to have a situation of being attacked by the enemy at that time!" Wu Mingche stroked his beard and nodded and said.

"I have a different opinion!" Xiao Yao looked at the defenders on the wall of Qin County and said.

"What's Shiro's strange idea?" Wu Mingche asked with a smile.

"Qin County is now surrounded by us, which is equivalent to what we have in our pocket! But I believe that the Qi army defending the city is still not desperate! Because they also believe that reinforcements are coming to their rescue! Therefore, if we rashly attack the city now, we will definitely encounter their stubborn resistance, and even if we capture Qin County, we will be greatly injured! It may not even be possible to capture the city, but the enemy's reinforcements have already arrived, and the situation of our army is even more dangerous! Xiao Yao analyzed.

"Captain Xiao, how can you be so ambitious and destroy your own prestige! Yesterday we had a big victory, and now it's time to take advantage of it! If you are afraid, then take your infantry battalion to watch, I will let the barbarian slaves guarantee with heads, as long as I give me 10,000 elite soldiers, I can capture Qin County today! Ren Barbarian shouted in displeasure.

Yesterday, I saw that Xiao Yao, a teenager, actually made the first contribution to the army crossing the river, although Wu Mingche has not yet been rewarded for meritorious deeds, but various legends of Xiao Shilang and the infantry battalion have begun to circulate in the army: the weapons used by the soldiers of the infantry battalion are all magical firearms that are extremely powerful, with one enemy and one hundred; What Xiao Shilang is clever, magical, and even uses spells to attract heavenly fire, and destroys the entire Qi army ship formation with only two gunboats!

And Ren Mannu, as a veteran, of course can't see the young Xiao Yao in the limelight like this, so now he is bent on leading the army to attack the city, make great achievements, and seize the limelight.

"If Shiro doesn't agree to the siege, then what plan do you have?" Wu Mingche is also a little displeased, if we don't attack the city and take Qin County, where will our tens of thousands of troops live? When the time comes, the Qi army will counterattack, and we will have no city to defend against the enemy, so we can only retreat to the south!

"I don't mean to grow the ambition of others and destroy my own prestige! As I said earlier, Qin County is already in our pocket, which means that we can take it down at any time! It's just that we shouldn't make good use of this Qin County? For example, encircle the point to send reinforcements! Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Reinforcements?" Everyone was stunned.

"That's right! If we capture Qin County today, will Xuyi still send reinforcements? You are all experienced generals, you all know that the siege account is the most difficult to fight, today we capture Qin County, Xuyi's Qi army will definitely pay more attention to defending the city, then we will be more difficult to capture Xuyi! So if we besiege Qin County now and don't fight, let Xuyi's side think that there is still a chance to rescue Qin County, they will definitely send reinforcements to Qin County, then we can wait for the rabbit and deal with these reinforcements, as long as their reinforcements are wiped out, then this Qin County will naturally be self-defeating! Xiao Yao analyzed.

"Captain Xiao is right! If you let the enemy defend the city, it is better to lure them out and annihilate them! And now our troops are divided into three northern expeditions, General Huang's side is also besieging Liyang, I believe that the Qi army will also send troops to rescue, if we take Qin County at once, although it can make our morale soar, but it will also let the Qi army concentrate on rescuing Liyang, then General Huang's side of the pressure will be even greater, if we keep Qin County, besiege but not attack, then the Qi army can only divide troops to rescue the two places, the same way, we and General Huang can defeat their reinforcements more easily! General Zhou Luo agreed with Xiao Yao's strategy.

"Makes sense! Yesterday's big win really made me a little anxious! In addition, Qin County is my hometown, and I always want to take Qin County as soon as possible, forgetting that the most important thing in the Northern Expedition is not to fight for one city and one place, but to defeat the Qi army and completely destroy them! Wu Mingche also generously admitted his mistakes.

"Okay, according to Shiro's strategy, we will besiege Qin County but not attack, or we will fail to attack the city, and let the Qi army in the city ask Xuyi for help, and we will target these reinforcements!" Wu Mingche ordered.

。。。。。。

The Middle Route Army led by Wu Mingche had already surrounded Qin County, and Huang Faqu of the Western Route Army had also successfully crossed the river from quarrying, and the general Lu Guangda defeated the Qi army in Daxian, a place where soldiers must fight, and also surrounded Liyang, and the Qi army in the city also sent people to Xuyi for help as soon as possible.

As for Xu Jingcheng of the Eastern Route Army, he also led the navy and took the golden-winged ship to cross the river smoothly and enter the area of Guangling County. Although Xu Jingcheng led only a partial division, with only more than 10,000 people, the defenders of the Qi army on the side of Guangling County were not very many, and now Xu Jingcheng still had a few big war ships, so frightened that the Qi army retreated in the city and did not dare to fight.

The first step of Chen Guo's Northern Expedition, the crossing of the river by the three-way army was all successfully completed!

And after Wu Mingche launched several pretended sieges and failed, the morale of the Qi troops in the city soared and they were full of hope again. But the outside of the city was surrounded by the Chen army, so he could only continue to send people to rush out of the encirclement and ask Xuyi for help, saying that the Chen army was just relying on the large number of people to surround Qin County, but there was no way to capture Qin County, if Xuyi could send 20,000 elite soldiers to rescue, then the defenders of Qin County and the reinforcements should be combined with the outside, and the Chen army would be defeated before and after!
