Azig had been looking forward to more reinforcements from Xuzhou than Dolbo, and he thought of surviving with a broken arm and was mentally prepared to retreat.

But he understood that with this retreat, the situation of the battle in the direction of Sizhou would be reversed, and Baiyintu would become a lone army surrounded by the enemy, which represented the 100,000 army in his hands before the war, which was divided into two large pieces by the enemy, east and west.

Azig was naturally reluctant, and he decided to wait, wait, and wait.

He still felt that even if there was an irreconcilable contradiction between the imperial court, Dolbo and himself, in the decisive battle with the Han people, the imperial court and Dolbo would definitely be on his side, because they had the same blood in their bodies.

Perhaps, only when people are in danger can they realize the importance of race and bloodline.

Azig was even thinking at this time that if this battle turned into a safe one, he was willing to return to Beijing, be his Prince of England with peace of mind, and no longer compete with Fulin for that son.

It's a pity that Azig came to his senses late, and he didn't even know that the Qing court had already regarded him as a more dangerous figure than Wu Zheng, and sent an envoy to Ying Tianfu to secretly betray the deployment of the Qing army in Fengyang Mansion to Li Guo.

Otherwise, how could Li Guo dare to attack the whole army north with a outnumbered attack, and hit Azig by surprise?

Azig made a decision at this time, that is, to make every effort to open up the connection with the direction of Sizhou, in his opinion, this is the most important, and the direction of the old county is just a rabble, right, at this time, Azig has not realized that although this is a rabble, it? Already a prince and a county king? A prince was also captured alive.

How could such an army be just a rabble?

……。

Baiyintu is going crazy? Crazy.

The main force can't capture a small city in Jiuxian? It was delayed for three whole days.

Of course, there are objective reasons for this? After all, the cavalry of the Qing army could not cross the river in large numbers, in fact? At least half of the cavalry of the Qing army? It was isolated on the other side of the Huai River, ready to cross the river.

The river surface of the second and third miles has become the protector of Hengyangwei, and the Qing army that really launched an attack under the old county seat? That is, three or four thousand people? And such a force, for a defender with 6,000 men, is indeed difficult to quickly defeat head-on.

But even so, Liu Fang had already felt great pressure, under the lesson that the cavalry under his command was completely wiped out by the enemy's cavalry? He had already realized that it would be difficult for Hengyangwei to confront the Qing army head-on.

Is it because of this bloody lesson? Let Liu Fang have no urge to take the initiative to attack or counterattack after that, and he will honestly defend the city? No matter how much the enemy outside the city shouted, he would not be moved.

In this way, the Qing army can only organize men and horses to attack every day? But are the defenders enough? Even if it is consumed every day? In the absence of a demoralization collapse of the defenders, it became a fantasy to think of a quick victory.

Bai Yintu was driven crazy by Azig's bidding order, he knew what the problem was, and he also realized the importance of the old county to the entire Fengyang battle situation at this time, but he had nothing to do, he couldn't transfer the troops that were attacking Xuyi to the direction of the old county, right?

Even if he was willing, if the Xuyi defenders went out of the city to fight a counterattack, the consequences would be serious.

Fortunately, Azig gave Baiyintu a way to go, that is, to order Baiyintu to continue to attack Xuyi, and ordered Baiyintu to break through Xuyi City within three days, and the reinforcements in the direction of the old county were sent by Fengyang City, which made Baiyintu breathe a sigh of relief, and as a result, one of the most thrilling offensive and defensive battles in Xuyi broke out.

……。

At this time, Xuyi City was almost crumbling.

If it weren't for Baiyintu to dispatch the main force to clean up the Liukou in the old county, Xuyi City would have fallen the next day as Huang Dahong predicted.

Three days, time is too important for Chi Erhan.

The Qing army's feint attack in the past three days gave Chi Erhan time to recruit young people in the city and train a little to participate in the defense.

Xuyi City is not big, and in the midst of the war, the population is not large, but it is still possible to recruit three or five thousand young people.

The equipment of firearms allows these young people not to need to spend a long time training as in ancient times, and it is enough to be able to shoot and throw.

In addition, your own side is defensive and has a city wall to rely on, so you don't need a single soldier to have too high tactical skills.

And the outbreak of the war, Bai Yintu wanted to finish the battle, the first attack gathered all the available forces, stormed the West Gate, there was an army, has quietly from Huai'an Shanyang, through Hongze Lake to the north of Sizhou, and when the Qing army stormed Xuyi City, then launched a strong attack on Sizhou, where the army was empty.

……。

In Wu Zheng's hands, there were indeed no formed troops that could be mobilized.

Each guard has a station and a task, and Wu Zheng has no intention of mobilizing, because since the beginning of the war, Wu Zheng has used static braking from beginning to end.

There is no way, the enemy's forces are far superior to his own, and he is one step ahead of himself, and he has deployed heavy troops on the front line of the Yellow River.

But the fact that there are no formed troops that can be mobilized does not mean that Wu Zheng is inactive and does not want to find a way to deal with it.

Jiang Quanyi, the tiger that Wu Zheng has always adopted the free-range method, was released by Wu Zheng without hesitation at this critical time.

Although he originally wanted to save it for the most critical time, at this time, Wu Zheng was actually anxious.

Xuyi City followed the greatest pressure of this battle, it almost pinned down the enemy's strength several times his own, Wu Zheng knew that even if it was iron, at that extreme moment, it would collapse.

Jiang Quanyi, who was training the new army in Tongzhou, suddenly received an order to lead his troops to march to Shanyang in a hurry, and then take the ships that had been prepared for him to cross Hongze Lake and attack Sizhou in a hurry.

When he received the order, Jiang Quanyi was still very surprised, he thought that Sizhou was now a heavy hoarding of troops by the Qing army, and it was a bit whimsical to attack Sizhou with his own 3,000 men and horses?

But when he arrived at the city of Sizhou, after the attack began, Jiang Quanyi was determined, because the defenders were empty on the solid Sizhou city wall.

A feint attack allowed Jiang Quanyi to determine the reality of the defenders, and he quickly deployed to launch a general attack on Sizhou.

……。

Poor Bai Yintu, he was psychologically broken at this time.

How could there be another non-existent enemy army attacking from Hongze Lake?

After more than five years of fighting, both sides actually have a good idea of what troops the enemy has and where they are deployed.

But the old county suddenly had an extra "army" of tens of thousands of people, and now there is such an army that appeared out of nowhere, so that Bai Yintu, who was already overstretched, was exhausted.

Fortunately, Bai Yintu has a firm fighting spirit, he knows that he can't retreat, this retreat, Fengyang City will be over, Azig just put the pot of defeat on his head, Bai Yintu is also surnamed Aixing Jueluo, and he can afford to wear such a big "pot".

Draw the gourd in the same way, and the picture of worship will also.

While organizing a fight against the enemy army that suddenly appeared at the north gate, Baiyintu also recruited young men in the city to participate in the defense of the city.

Can you recruit it?

Absolutely!

Ordinary people, with knives on their necks, can they say no? Dare to say no?
