November 14 of the first year of Hongguang, at the moment, Yuan Long led an army of 70,000 to take the lead in launching an attack on Jizhou City, Yuan Jingchu in the Chinese army camp sat on the high platform, carefully watching the progress of the siege troops in front, Ouyang Qing in Jizhou City was not to be outdone, personally went into battle, commanded the battle on the tower of the urn, and thus opened the prelude to the Hebei War...

Shangguan Yin Feng on this side did not rest at all, he personally led the army, set up a position on the field fifty miles away from Jizhou City, gathered 50,000 troops, and waited for Ouyang Qing to retreat to him, and by the way, he started a duel with Yuan Jingchu's troops who were chasing Ouyang Qing...

(Fifty miles away from Jizhou City, Shangguan Yin Fengzhong Army Camp)

"Lord Qiqi, our army has been properly deployed and can fight at any time..."

As soon as Huang Wei's words fell, Jia Fu hurriedly walked into the big tent, bowed down to Shangguan Yin Feng and said: "Lord, the front line is coming quickly, Yuan Long's army has begun to attack the city, and the battle between the two sides is now in a stalemate..."

Shangguan Yin Feng has been waiting in this field for three days, the taste of living in a tent in the barracks is extremely uncomfortable, and there is no beauty like Murong Xue around him, which makes him also 'physically and mentally exhausted', it can be said that the news reported by Jia Fu is the happiest thing for him in the past few days: "Jia Fu, send an order to the forward Su Tong, once he finds that Ouyang Qing's defeated army is retreating towards him, immediately get out of the way, take advantage of the situation to block Yuan Jingchu's chasing troops, and let him act according to the plan, and accept it when he sees it, understand?" ”

"No..."

(Jizhou City)

"General, the enemy army has attacked the western city wall, and Childe is leading the army to resist..."

Ouyang Qing frowned together, the defenders in the city were less than 60,000, and they had to remove the servants who accompanied the army, and in fact, less than 50,000 people could fight and kill the enemy with a knife, and they had to defend four gates, and the enemy army at the east gate was fiercely attacking, so naturally nearly 20,000 people were arranged to defend, and the rest were arranged with three gates, and a part of the reserve had to be organized (by the way, in ancient times, fighting was not a brute force with a knife or a gun, no matter which side attacked or defended, a reserve army would be left for emergencies, What we often see is how many people are left after breaking out of the siege, that is, these reserves, which are equivalent to the current guard companies and the like)...

Therefore, now the troops in Ouyang Qing's hands have no extra to mobilize, looking at the fierce fighting on the outer city wall, Ouyang Qing turned his head to look at the herald and said: "Pass my order, the four gates must be held out, and the first wave of the enemy's attack must be blocked..."

The herald's face was covered with blood, and he originally thought that his general was going to give the order to retreat, but he was a little surprised by the words he blurted out, and after reacting, he went down to deliver the order...

(Yuan Longbu)

"General, it seems that the enemy army wants to defend to the death, and my forward siege troops have been strongly blocked, do you want to suspend the siege first?" An adjutant general looked at Yuan Long and said, ready to give the order to temporarily stop the attack...

Yuan Long rode on a horse, full of spirit, this is the first big battle in his life, if he successfully captures Jizhou City, Yuan Jingchu will promise to give him the title of Marquis of Jizhou, promotion of military achievements, and gaining fame and fortune, is an idea that a soldier dreams of, and now, in Yuan Long's view, it is about to be realized: "No... You immediately give the order to go down, and the whole army will charge, and the bow battalion will suppress the enemy troops on the towers of the city, and the general will personally assault..."

It is very rare in history for the main general to take the initiative to attack, and it can only be seen that this situation can only be the end of the road, otherwise, once the general who is the commander of the first army is killed, then, the victory or defeat of the battle situation will naturally be much clearer, the deputy general saw Yuan Long's expression, and also knew that his general had made up his mind, and behind him was the Chinese army of Emperor Dayan, if he could follow the main general to attack Jizhou City, it would be a great achievement, at least three ranks...

The siege battle lasted for three hours and then there was a shocking change, Ouyang Qing's subordinates in Jizhou City rebelled at the south gate, opened the south gate, and put Chen Xun's troops, Ouyang Qing at the east gate did not know the situation at all, so he was hit fiercely, the army was quickly defeated, Ouyang Min of the west gate saw that the situation was not good, so he took the remnants of his troops towards the east gate, and the two sides launched a desperate duel in the city...

"General, the guard of the south gate has rebelled, the enemy army has entered the city, and the prince has asked the last general to pass the word, please go to the north gate quickly..."

"Sun Hua, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, if you let someone catch you, you will definitely be cut out of your liver and heart..."Ouyang Qing never thought that his subordinates would rebel, so he scolded, but the reality is too far from the ideal, after scolding, he glanced at Chen Xun's troops who were attacking the city outside the east gate with grief and indignation, and turned his head and shouted: "Order the three armies, retreat in order, and go to the north gate..."

The defeat was like a mountain, once the order to retreat was issued, the last straw that crushed the sergeant was this thing, Ouyang Qing's soldiers began to scramble to escape, after all, there were only a few who could effectively organize the retreat, and this was also some of the best in the army...

"Your Majesty, the south gate has been broken, and the general has personally led a large army into the city, and now he is fighting with the enemy in the city, please show the emperor..."

Yuan Jingchu's face was filled with a joyful expression, when the important town of Zhuangzhou in Hebei was broken, he had actually obtained two-thirds of the land in Hebei, and now he had won the important city of Jizhou, it can be said that Hebei is already in his bag, and the territory of the world, in his eyes, is getting closer and closer: "Okay, pass the order, the whole army will attack, be sure to capture Ouyang Qing, and don't let him go..."

"No..."

Ten miles north of Jizhou City, a team of people and horses stood scattered in place, looking at the dust flying in the distance, and one of them shouted: "Here, the general has broken through..."

The general in that mouth was none other than Ouyang Qing, who fought his way out of the bloody road under the escort of the guards, and the soldiers standing scattered waiting for him were none other than his son Ouyang Min, and now the two armies were in one place, ready to withdraw to Anyang...

"Father..."Ouyang Min jumped off the horse, looked at Ouyang Qing covered in blood, and his face was shocked: "Father, are you injured?" ”

Ouyang Qing waved his hand on the horse's back, and then threw the broken sword in his hand to the ground: "My father was slightly injured, and the sword was broken, in this battle, we lost to the traitor, and I was really unwilling..."

The 'traitor' in Ouyang Qing's mouth naturally refers to Sun Hua, it is precisely because of Sun Hua's rebellion that Yuan Long's troops were able to enter from Nancheng smoothly, resulting in Ouyang Qing losing Jizhou City, Ouyang Min comforted: "Father, it's not too late to retreat now, our department rushed out of less than a thousand people, it's better to retreat quickly, otherwise there will be endless troubles..."

That's right, if Ouyang Qing and the others spent another stick of incense, Yuan Long's pursuing troops would catch up and kill him in time, even so, Yuan Long's cavalry troops were closely chasing Ouyang Qing and the others...

(Thirty miles north of Jizhou City, Su Scout Formation)

In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that Shangguan Yin Feng is deliberately weakening Su Tong's strength, in fact, this is Shangguan Yin Feng's performance of attaching importance to Su Tong, which Su Tong naturally sees in his heart, and his heart is also gratified, he did not sit on the cold bench, after all, the generals under Shangguan Yin Feng can produce many people, and not everyone can become a pioneer general...

The 2,000 men and horses of Su Tong's headquarters are the escort team he personally trained, and they are also the troops he followed closely after escaping from Huozhou, in comparison, these people are the old fritters among the veterans, and they can survive until now, in addition to the necessary battlefield acumen, they also need to have extraordinary skills, otherwise they would have become the other party's sword ghosts...

"General..."A small colonel rode a horse and galloped towards Su Tong: "Report to the general, Jizhou City has been breached, and a team of men and horses is rushing towards our department, and there is a large group of Liaobei cavalry chasing in the rear..."

The 'Liaobei Cavalry' in the mouth of the colonel is Yuan Jingchu's troops, even if Yuan Jingchu is called the emperor, but the central court does not recognize it, and even Shangguan Yin Feng does not recognize his status, the soldiers under his command will naturally not call these people according to Yuan Jingchu's national name, on the contrary, those who are soldiers in private call the cavalry in the Beiping area 'Liaobei Cavalry', the main reason for this is that their war horses are horses raised under the rule of the Liaodong Protectorate, so these cavalry units are called...

Su Tong immediately raised his gun and shouted loudly to the sergeant in the rear: "All the soldiers, the lord has an order, do your best to block the pursuing enemy, and when the time comes, listen to my orders to act..."

"Roar...," the sergeants replied in unison...
