"Report to the two generals, a team suddenly appeared in the rear of our army, and now it is less than ten miles away from us!" Jingguo's soldiers knelt in front of Ma Hua and Shao Qin, reporting what they had discovered.

Ma Hua narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "It seems that Jiao Qiang has brought people to support Qinghua City, how many people have they come?" ”

"It's hard to count, but the number of flags should not be a few."

"Jiao Qiang only has a total of 10,000 horses, even if he all comes? General Ma, I will take 10,000 horses to deal with Jiao Qiang, and the siege will be handed over to you! ”

After Shao Qin finished speaking, he immediately ordered the deputy general to gather 10,000 soldiers and set off behind him.

At this time, Jiao Qiang learned that the enemy army was attacking the city, and he felt some regret in his heart, he only brought a thousand men and horses, and now even if he wanted to go over to help, it would not make much difference.

At this moment, a scout hurriedly reported: "Report to the general, the enemy has discovered us, and a group of men and horses are now coming towards us!" ”

When Jiao Qiang heard this, he immediately wanted to line up to meet the enemy, but suddenly he thought that he only had a thousand men and horses, and once he lined up, wouldn't it be exposed? So he immediately looked at Chen Lin and Qin Sheng on the side: "Two gentlemen, what should we do now?" ”

Chen Lin pondered for a moment and immediately said: "The general will take two hundred people to fight with the enemy, and after twenty or thirty rounds, the general can return from defeat." Remember that the defeat is obvious, so that the enemy general can see it at a glance! ”

Jiao Qiang was a little puzzled in his heart, but seeing Chen Lin's confident appearance, he didn't ask any more questions, and directly led two hundred soldiers to meet the enemy.

And Chen Lin and Qin Sheng immediately ordered the remaining soldiers to hold flags and scatter, so that people could see a large area of flags from a distance, and at first glance it really looked like a force of 10,000 people.

Shao Qin was heading north with his troops, and found a small group of men and horses coming towards him from a distance, and when he walked in, he found that Jiao Qiang rushed over with hundreds of people.

Seeing this scene, Shao Qin couldn't help laughing: "Jiao Qiang, do you really have no one under you?" Coming with a few hundred people to die? ”

Jiao Qiang was not annoyed, and the eight-point steel spear in his hand pointed directly at Shao Qin: "Shao Qin, do you dare to fight with me?" ”

Shao Qin was stunned for a moment, and felt a little unhappy in his heart: this Jiao Qiang relied on his martial arts to suppress himself, and he wanted to humiliate himself with his fight. But what's worse is that if he doesn't agree, isn't it equivalent to admitting that he can't beat him in front of so many people? It's better to fight him for more than a dozen rounds, and then take the opportunity to order the soldiers to charge, so that he won't take advantage.

After making up his mind, Shao Qin immediately raised the double dendent in his hand: "Why don't you dare!" Today, I will let you know how powerful my Jingguo Erlang is! ”

After speaking, Shao Qin rushed towards Jiao Qiang with his gun, and the two immediately became a ball.

Jiao Qiang was about to be defeated, so he kept fighting, and he didn't dare to use all his strength. Shao Qin is fighting more and more, and the situation has the upper hand: "It is said that you Jiao Qiang is the number one fierce general of the Northwest Army of Huaiguo, and you are no more than a general today!" Look at me taking your head! ”

After speaking, Shao Qin let out a loud sigh and stabbed at Jiao Qiang with a double pentent. Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiao Qiang held a spear in front of him, and directly stuck Shao Qin's halberd master. Before Shao Qin could exert his strength, Jiao Qiang took the lead in leaning back, pretending to be defeated by Shao Qin, turning around and running.

Shao Qin was stunned at this time, he hadn't exerted his strength yet? Is Jiao Qiang so unbearable? Just thinking about it, Shao Qin saw the flags dotted in the distance and immediately understood. No, Jiao Qiang can win the title of the number one fierce general is by no means an idle person, he is defeated at first glance, and he wants to lead himself to chase!

At this time, the Jingguo soldiers saw Jiao Qiang fleeing in defeat and immediately began to wave their flags and shout. The soldiers were preparing to pursue, but found that Shao Qin had turned his horse's head and turned back.

Shao Qin's lieutenant general hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "The general has obviously defeated the enemy general, why didn't he take advantage of the victory to pursue him?" ”

Shao Qin pointed to the flag in the distance: "See, the enemy's large army is stationed over there, Jiao Qiang only brought a few hundred people over to lure us into pursuit, and wanted to come to the trap that has been set up over there." We just need to make sure that they don't harass General Ma to attack the city, and we don't need to risk the pursuit. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately praised Shao Qin's wisdom, Shao Qin was in a good mood at this time, although Jiao Qiang was defeated, but others didn't know. In other words, today he single-handedly kept out the enemy's army of 10,000 people, and he can be regarded as famous.

Therefore, Shao Qin led his soldiers to build a defensive line in place to prevent Jiao Qiang from harassing Ma Hua and attacking the city.

After Jiao Qiang fled, he was relieved to see that Shao Qin did not pursue, and it seemed that this calculation of the suspicious soldier had been completed. Seeing Chen Lin, Jiao Qiang immediately asked about the next plan, but Chen Lin shook his head: "We can only camp and confront the enemy now." ”

"Huh? How can this help Thanh Hoa City? Jiao Qiang asked rhetorically.

Qin Sheng said helplessly: "General Jiao, our use of a thousand men and horses to contain the enemy's tens of thousands of horses is already the greatest help to Qinghua City, and now only Zhang Shumo's reinforcements can break the situation!" ”

At this time, the battle in Thanh Hoa City had reached a fever pitch. Jingguo's assault car crashed open the city gate, only to find that the door hole had already been blocked, and it would be difficult to get through for a while. So Jingguo put his hope on the cloud ladder, and a large number of Jingguo soldiers launched an attack on Thanh Hoa City through the cloud ladder.

But the Western Route Army was not a vegetarian. On the city wall in the south, the veteran Zhang Jun personally put on armor and went into battle, which greatly boosted the morale of the army, and the soldiers drove wave after wave of enemy troops off the city wall.

There are Zhang Yan and Zhang Gui in the north, both of whom are young and strong, and can fight well, plus Shao Qin took away 10,000 people, and Ma Hua has no way to take the two of them for a while.

The battle lasted until the evening, and Ji Wen wanted to use the advantage of numbers to consume the Western Route Army, but the Western Route Army still held it with its stubborn will. After a day of fatigue, the Jingguo soldiers were tired and hungry, and they had long lost the desire to attack the city, so Ji Wen had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Ji Wen was very dissatisfied with the disadvantage of the siege, but before he had time to lose his temper, he waited for a report, and the Wu Xiu Army and the Yiyang Army jointly sent 30,000 troops and rushed towards Qinghua City.

At this time, Ji Wen was a little panicked, and hurriedly convened relevant personnel to discuss countermeasures.

After hearing the news that Wu Xiujun and Yiyang Army were about to arrive in Qinghua City, Hao Yang suddenly figured it out, so he said to everyone: "Wu Xiujun and Yiyang Army came so quickly, it seems that they have been prepared for a long time. Thinking about it this way, the Western Route Army's attack on Xiazhong City and Dieling Pass is probably also the other party's strategy, the purpose is to lure our army to Qinghua City, and then have a decisive battle with our army. ”

After speaking, Hao Yang unconsciously looked at Yang Xue, wondering if she had anything to do with this matter.

"It shouldn't be wrong, Jiao Qiang of the Western Route Army also rushed back with 10,000 men, but he was defeated by me and set up camp about ten miles from the city. I guess he is also waiting for reinforcements to arrive and fight us in a decisive battle! Shao Qin took the opportunity to show off his defeat of Jiao Qiang.

Ji Wen slapped the table angrily: "I'm not letting you put it in hindsight now, the countermeasures I want now, what should we do next?" ”
