The Xia Army, who had just stood in line, saw that his vanguard army had retreated so quickly, and they couldn't help but look at each other: secretly wondering how long it would be to go out? Defeated like this? Isn't it coming? Will the enemy be able to take the bait?

Dou Jiande stood on the high slope, and after raising his eyes, he couldn't help but shake his head. Although he also let Sun Xuanya defeat before, he didn't expect him to be able to turn the fraud into a real defeat. It seems that this young player is still a little younger! If you want to promote him again, you'll have to think about it later.

Dou Jiande even regretted it a little, secretly knowing that he would not let Sun Xuanya go to scold in front of Cheng Biting Jin. This guy must have angered others, and then rushed over with a large team of Zhou Jun.

It's just that Sun Xuanya's defeat was also in his plan. Therefore, Dou Jiande was not surprised, and immediately ordered someone to wave the order flag, so that Meng Haigong could kill from the left flank, and the Xia cavalry of the brigade circled an arc and ran towards the flank and rear direction of the Zhou cavalry, trying to cut off the opponent's retreat.

For Yuming's ironclad elite horseman, Dou Jiande has a painful lesson. A few months ago, the defeat in front of the camp of the Liaodong Army made him hate and fear this ironclad elite cavalry. He knew that only one of him and Yuming could live, so he studied the characteristics of the ironclad cavalry for a long time.

Dou Jiande knew that the advantage of the ironclad elite cavalry was that the men and horses were all heavily armoured, had high defensive power, and could bring the lethality of the cavalry into full play when they charged, and they were almost unstoppable when fighting on the plains. If they were to be charged head-on, I am afraid that no one would be able to stop them except for the pure heavy rifle shieldmen.

However, the weakness of the Ironclad Heavy Cavalry is that it does not rotate flexibly, especially for enemies coming from behind, they turn slowly. If you want to stop and turn around and impact backwards, it takes a long time.

A cavalry or two cavalry turns may be able to do it. But it was simply impossible to get the two thousand ironclad heavy cavalry to turn around in unison.

Therefore, this time, Dou Jiande laid out a countermeasure for the ironclad heavy cavalry very early. He planned to send another cavalry to attack from behind the enemy, chasing the tail of the ironclad heavy cavalry and charging up with a fierce slash.

As long as Meng Haigong can be outflanked behind the opponent, cut off his return, and then let Fan Yuan and Dou Hongxian encircle from both sides, so that the support of the Zhou army cannot rush in, the charge of the ironclad heavy cavalry can be turned into a grappling and melee, and the iron cavalry of this group of enemy troops can be completely annihilated.

It was only Meng Haigong's cavalry that moved, and the ironclad elite cavalry seemed to have anticipated the danger coming. He made a sharp U-turn, then stepped back with a brush. Their running speed was also fast, and by the time Meng Haigong caught up, the ironclad heavy cavalry had already run far away and couldn't catch up at all.

Although these iron-armored heavy cavalry were both men and horses wearing heavy armor, their running speed was actually faster than that of the light cavalry of the Xia army, which made Meng Haigong frown. How did he know that the ironclad heavy cavalry of the Zhou army was all Arab war horses, and the horsepower and speed were far from comparable to the ordinary Central Plains horses of the Xia army.

When Meng Haigong was still hesitating, Dou Jiande had already ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. He also had no choice but to let the soldiers temporarily turn around and return to the queue.

And when Sun Xuanya, who was ashamed, came to Dou Jiande to confess, Dou Jiande didn't blame him too much, but asked with some frowns: "Xuanya, do you see who the main general is?" ”

Sun Xuanya thought for a moment, and finally said: "Back to the Xia King, the last general only sees clearly that the general is a general wearing white helmet and white armor. Holding a cyan spear, looking at the appearance, it may be Yuming himself who is here! ”

"Just a possibility?" Dou Jiande frowned, the enemy's commander could not judge his current position, which would be greatly detrimental to his battle plan.

Sun Xuanya was helpless, so she could only say truthfully: "The word 'Yu' is written on the banner, and the general who is for it looks like Yuming, but his appearance can't be seen clearly......"

"It's hard to tell! This king asked the horse just now, and he said that when he reconnoitred before, he did see the other party's flag clearly, and the word 'Cheng' was typed. The strength of the army is also about 5,000. But when it came time to fight you, the banner became the word 'Yu', and the number of troops was reduced to 1,000. It's weird! Dou Jiande also felt a little puzzled.

He frowned, looked into the distance, and after thinking for a moment, Fang made up his mind: "Let's go!" Let's all press on and push slowly! I'll fight him with dignity as a regular soldier! On this plain, he is arrayed with his back, what other tricks can he have? I want to see if Yuming is the first six arms! ”

……

Just when Dou Jiande felt that it was difficult to choose, the situation outside Qingzhou City behind him changed again. The soldiers of the Xia army who remained at the head of the city found a large number of Zhou army naval division warships anchored in the sea close to Qingzhou.

Qingzhou City is close to the Yellow Sea, only more than 50 zhang away from the coast, and the port wharf is from the south gate of Qingzhou City. Seeing so many enemy warships gathered on the sea, Kong Deshao, the general of Dou Jiande's department who stayed in Qingzhou, couldn't help but look worried.

He never expected that the Zhou army would have so many warships, and the strength of the naval army was definitely the strongest among the candidates in the Central Plains. Moreover, the Zhou army had such a powerful naval division, so it could transport soldiers to land and attack on the coast, but I was afraid that all the coastal cities in Shandong would not be safe.

And his lieutenant was even more frightened, trembling: "Kong ...... General Kong, there are so many enemy warships...... Do you want to inform King Xia to come back? ”

Although Condesau was worried, he knew that he must not show any panic in front of his subordinates. He said coldly, "What are you afraid of? No matter how powerful the enemy's warships are, can they still drive into the city? At best, we've lost the dock. And looking at the deck of the enemy ship, it seems that there is no siege equipment carried, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in our city, can't we still hold it? ”

At this time, I saw that the battleship of the Zhou Army's naval division had approached the shore, and many small boats were lowered from the battleship, and many Zhou soldiers were sitting on it. They rowed to the shore in a dinghy and began to assemble under the city.

When Kong Deshao saw their number and equipment, he immediately laughed and said to his lieutenant: "Don't worry! You see, there are only a few thousand of them, and they are not even prepared with siege engines and ladders, can they still fly in from outside the city? ”

When the lieutenant saw it, it was indeed so. Immediately, he put his mind at ease and said flatteringly: "It's still General Kong's clear investigation and accurate judgment!" Otherwise, we will report to King Xia in such a hurry, saying that we can't hold Qingzhou, and if we ask him to come to help, I am afraid that it will affect his plan to encircle and annihilate Yuming's main force, and we will be punished by him......"

However, at this moment, Kong Deshao's eyes showed a look of consternation, because he saw a young general wearing a white helmet and white armor, riding a white horse, and holding a Liquan spear under the city, and the flag behind his back turned out to be the word "Yu".

"Oh my God! It turned out to be Zhou Wang Yuming? But how did he get here? He should now be fighting the King of Xia by the Dawen River, sixty miles away! Could it be that he will not be able to do it? Kong Deshaw couldn't help but exclaim.

At this time, Yu Ming had already shouted to the city: "General Kong is in the city?" Can you come out and talk to this king? ”

Kong Deshao thinks it's normal for Yu Ming to know his name. Since he planned to attack the city in person, he must have sent someone to inquire about the situation in the city, and it was not surprising that he knew that he would stay in Qingzhou.

Hearing Yu Ming shouting at him, he also responded to him at the head of the city: "Kong is here, I don't know what King Zhou asked me about?" ”

Yu Ming smiled slightly and said: "General Kong, this king knows that you are a Huiji, the fourteenth grandson of Confucius, and you are talented...... I know that you have great ambitions, and you have always been loyal to the Great Sui before. Therefore, this king wants to ask General Kong to return to the Great Zhou and discuss the plan! ”

Kong Deshao listened, but sneered: "King Zhou's words are wrong, Kong is loyal to the Great Sui, but now that the Great Sui is dead, Kong is not stupid enough to be martyred for the Great Sui." Although King Xia was born poor, he acted wisely and decisively, and took care of his surname. He is a lord worthy of allegiance. If King Zhou really loves his surname, he might as well be loyal to King Xia with me! ”

Yu Ming laughed and said: "I, General Daokong, am a reasonable person, but I didn't expect to be deceived by Dou Jiande. I have also heard about Dou Jiande's entry into Shandong, and I feel that there are many suspicious things in it. The first Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang died very bizarrely. In the case of the Shandong army, it actually lost two masters, and only the newly joined Dou Jiande, the boss, survived, don't you have a little doubt? ”

As soon as Yu Ming said this, the Xia soldiers suddenly became suspicious.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Ming continued: "Moreover, later when competing for the leading position, Wang Bo's subordinates Shi Qinzhen and Hao Xiaode originally dealt with Dou Jiande together, but they suddenly fought against each other in the middle, and Shi Qinzhen also died in the hands of Hao Xiaode inexplicably at this critical moment, which is even more incredible. You must know that they were originally all subordinate generals under Wang Bo, and they still had a good relationship with each other, even if there were some contradictions in the fight for the position of boss, they would not attack each other before Dou Jiande was eliminated, resulting in many deaths and injuries. ”

"Therefore, I suspect that Shi Qinyan and Hao Xiaode actually fell for Dou Jiande's plan to sow discord. Even Shi Qinji's death was done by Dou Jiande, but he was just blamed on Hao Xiaode. General Kong is also a person who is dedicated to the people and the country, how can he throw himself into the hands of such an immoral person and act as a tiger? Yu Ming analyzed eloquently.

His analysis was reasonable, and the Xia soldiers at the head of the city felt that there was some truth. Shi Qinjian and Hao Xiaode have always had a good relationship, and when Dou Jiande came to Shandong, they all thought that Dou Jiande had wolf ambitions and could not be tolerated. This made Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang decide to send him out of the country.

Later, because Dou Jiande offered advice to Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang, asking them to send troops to attack Liaocheng, he was able to become one of the leaders of the Shandong army. But when attacking Liaocheng, Wang Bo and Xu Yuanlang were killed one after another. And later Shi Qinja also died inexplicably in the hands of Hao Xiaode.

Looking at the sudden changes in Shandong in the past few months, there is only one person who will benefit in the end, that is, Dou Jiande, the original leader of the Hebei Army. To say that this Xia King is not operating in it, no one will believe it.
