Guo Chongtao implemented the wheel tactic, he let Li Cunxiao and Kong Lian take turns to fight Xu Tianci, Xu Zhihao was worried that Xu Tianci was in danger, and he withdrew his troops.

Xu Zhihao retreated to the city of Xuzhou.

Since then, Xu Zhihao has not been fighting.

Xu Zhihao also understands that even if he fights, he can't make a profit.

*******

At this time, the situation has become that Xu Zhihao is slightly weaker and Guo Chongtao is slightly stronger.

Because all around here is Guo Chongtao's territory, Guo Chongtao is convenient for transporting grain.

What about Xu Zhihao?

Xu Zhihao only had one way to transport grain, and he had a long way to transport grain.

Moreover, at this time, Xu Zhihao's Yancheng was not safe, and at this time, Guo Chongtao was asking Li Cunba to fight Yancheng.

******

At this time, Xu Zhihao was a little worried.

First, Xu Zhihao was worried that he couldn't defeat Guo Chongtao's soldiers;

Second, Xu Zhihao was worried that his Yancheng was lost.

********

At this time, not only Xu Zhihao was worried, but Guo Chongtao was also worried.

Guo Chongtao was worried that he couldn't defeat Xu Zhihao's soldiers, and Xuzhou couldn't take it down.

There are so many soldiers here, people eat horses and feed them, and they need to consume a lot of money and food every day!

Guo Chongtao didn't dare to go out of the city because of the fight, but it was still very difficult for him to take down Xuzhou.

In the past few days, although Guo Chongtao has gone to attack the city from time to time, the results have not been great.

In the case of a small difference in strength, it is not so easy to capture a city of the enemy, and Guo Chongtao's men and horses are not as many as Xu Zhihao's.

In this way, Xu Zhihao and Guo Chongtao were at a stalemate here in Xuzhou.

*******

At this time, the final battle situation depends on the Yancheng side.

If Li Cunba can take Yancheng after the battle situation in Yancheng, Xu Zhihao will be a complete failure, because by then Xu Zhihao's grain transportation road will be gone; If Li Cunba can't take Yancheng in the battle situation on Yancheng's side, Xu Zhihao may be able to continue to hold on in Xuzhou, so that there is a possibility of turning the tables in the future.

******

How's the battle going on in Yancheng?

In order to cut off Xu Zhihao's retreat, Guo Chongtao asked Li Cunba to take Yancheng.

Li Cunba went with 15,000 people.

Huainan City originally had 20,000 people. Li Cunba left 5,000 people for Bai Xiong to guard Huainan there, and he went with 15,000 people.

Xu Zhihao sent to guard Yancheng in Yancheng was his brother Xu Zhiyue, Du Chong and Cui Kai.

There were 5,000 men and horses in the city of Yancheng.

******

Let's talk about Li Cunba alone.

When Li Cunba arrived in Yancheng, he surrounded Yancheng.

Li Cunba set up a ladder to attack the city,

Li Cunba attacked the city, and Xu Zhiyue actively defended the city.

Don't say it, don't look at Li Cunba's martial arts are much stronger than Xu Zhiyue, it's really not so easy for Li Cunba to take Yancheng.

Because the city of Yancheng is also high, and the defense is also tight.

Li Cunba is quick temper.

was so anxious that Li Cunba shouted "wow" and "wow".

******

At this time, a person suddenly came to report: "General Li, there are two people who want to see you." ”

Li Cunba said: "Call him in!" ”

After a while. Two people came in.

It was an old man and a young man who came in.

Li Cunba didn't know those two people.

Li Cunba asked the two people: "What are your names, and do you see anything wrong with me?"

As soon as Li Cunba asked, he knew that one of the two people was named Qi Feng and the other was Qiao Zhou.

*******

As mentioned in the previous document, Qi Feng was originally the guard general of Yancheng, Qiao Zhou was Qi Feng's nephew at that time, and when Xu Tianshun occupied Yancheng before, Qi Feng was hit by an arrow. Later, Qi Feng was rescued from Yancheng by Qiao Zhou, and after that, he recuperated in one place, and Qiao Zhou was on the side to take care of Qi Feng.

Now that Qi Feng's injury is healed, he wants to play for his country again. He and Qiao Zhou came to Li Cunba's camp.

******

After Li Cunba saw Qi Feng, he was very happy.

Li Cunba did not blame Qi Feng for the former Qi Feng's loss of Yancheng.

Li Cunba said: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers. I don't blame you for your loss of Yancheng. ”

******

Then, Li Cunba talked to Qi Feng about taking Yancheng.

Qi Feng said: "I have an idea. ”

Li Cunba said: "Say! ”

Qi Feng said in Li Cunba's ear that he had a plan to take Yancheng.

Li Cunba said: "Okay! ”

*******

It was in the middle of the night. Li Cunba suddenly retreated.

The next morning, someone reported Li Cunba's withdrawal from the army to Xu Zhiyue.

Xu Zhiyue climbed to the top of the city and took a look: Li Cunba really retreated.

Xu Zhiyue saw that Li Cunba had withdrawn, so he led people out to clean up the battlefield.

Because there were some things on the battlefield that Li Cunba didn't have time to take away when he retreated.

Where did Xu Zhiyue know. Just as he came out to clean up the battlefield, Qi Feng and Qiao Zhou mixed into the city.

This is the strategy that Qi Feng gave Li Cunba before.

Qi Feng wanted to enter the city to persuade Du Chong and Cui Kai to surrender, but in order to sneak into the city, he came up with such a plan.

As soon as Li Cunba retreats, Xu Zhiyue will leave the city, and as soon as Xu Zhiyue opens the city, they will have a chance to sneak into the city.

******

Xu Zhiyue thought that this was a good thing, because as soon as Li Cunba retreated, he was a lot more relaxed, and he didn't have to defend the city in fear every day.

Xu Zhiyue had just finished cleaning the battlefield, and as soon as he sat down, someone suddenly came to report that Li Cunba had led people back to kill again?

Xu Zhiyuexin said: What is Li Cunba's illness, and which play does Li Cunba sing?

As soon as Xu Zhiyue heard that Li Cunba was back again, he had no choice but to take people to continue to defend the city.

*******

Let's talk about Du Chong.

This time to defend the city, Xu Zhiyue and Du Chong and Cui Kai guarded the city in shifts, Li Cunba sometimes attacked the city 24 hours a day, Xu Zhiyue couldn't stay there without sleeping 24 hours a day, he also had to eat and sleep, Xu Zhiyue and Du Chong and Cui Kai guarded the city in shifts, some guarded the city during the day, and some guarded the city at night.

Today it is time for Du Chong to defend the city during the day.

In the evening, Xu Zhiyue was changed to guard the city, and at this time Du Chong went home.

As soon as Du Chong returned home, a family member said to him: "General, someone wants to see you." ”

Du Chongxin said: Who?

Du Chong said, "Let him in!" ”

After a while, a man came in.

As soon as Du Chong saw this person coming in, he was startled.

Du Chongxin said: Isn't this Qiao Zhou?

"Wow", Du Chong will not show the treasure knife.

Qiao Zhou saw that Du Chong had a knife, and he was not afraid.

Qiao Zhou said, "Brother, why do you treat your sworn brother like this? ”

Qiao Zhou and Du Chong are really sworn brothers.

As mentioned earlier, Qiao Zhou, Du Chong, Cui Kai, Xu Zhiyue, and Xu Tianshun have worshipped.

As soon as Du Chong heard the words "sworn brother", his knife did not go forward.

However, at this time, Du Chong's knife was not withdrawn.

Du Chong said, "Qiao Zhou, what are you doing here?" ”

Qiao Zhou said, "What am I doing here?" I'm here to save you from death! ”

******

Qiao Zhou and Qi Feng persuaded Du Chong and Cui Kai to surrender, and Li Cunba's troops took Yancheng City. (To be continued.) )
