Kan Ling also didn't expect that the enemy was still ambushing a strong force here; They were completely thought of with the enemy; All wanted to surprise the enemy's rear with a sneak attack.

The two armies met unexpectedly, and there was nothing more to say, so they strangled together with a shout.

The battle that suddenly broke out on one side startled both Qin Qiong and Liu Heimin. They were secretly lucky, and they were all secretly surprised by the insidious nature of the enemy.

After the initial panic, the two armies were mixed together, and the most powerful ranged attack of the Great Demon Kingdom was nullified. Liu Heimin lost his pawn to protect the commander, and discarded the besieged soldiers with a large number of personnel, and reorganized the army to surround and kill him; The battle on both sides became a scorching situation.

Seeing the sunset in the west, Qin Qiong and Liu Heimin found that they couldn't win, so they began to collect their troops and slowly separated their subordinates and returned to the camp.

After returning to the camp, the two sides were almost lost, and the Great Demon Kingdom suffered five or six thousand injuries; The Xia Kingdom lost nearly 20,000; Of course, most of them died under the bow and arrow.

In the first exploratory battle, the two sides fought inextricably, and there was no distinction between the high ground and the upper and lower grounds; They all retreated and set up camp, carefully waiting for the right time.

Liu Heimin followed Dou Jiande to fight in Hebei, and no one has ever been able to block his troops; The recent attacks on Luo Yi and the Great Demon Kingdom have been frustrated continuously, which also makes him feel heavy.

Su Dingfang suggested that we have more soldiers and fewer enemy soldiers; A part of the elite should be left to drag the enemy, and two teams should be divided into the hinterland of the Great Demon Kingdom to destroy. When the time comes, the enemy will return to the army after hearing the news, and we will definitely be able to win the battle in front and back.

"It makes sense to set the tongues! Where do you think we should use as a breakthrough? Su Dingfang said: "Qinghe Cui is the maiden family of Queen Cui Yu, and his strong support for Cheng Zhijie made him quickly settle in Shandong. If we attack Qinghe, we will definitely be able to shake Shandong; Let Cheng Zhijie pay attention. ”

Liu Hei said suddenly, he thought about it, and in order to ensure victory, he applied to Dou Jiande for 50,000 reinforcements, and then ordered Wang Fubao and Su Dingfang to bring 30,000 people to attack Qinghe.

Dou Jiande listened to the report, and without saying a word, he sent another 50,000 people, and let Dou Xianniang, the princess of Yong'an, be the commander, and lead Liu Shishan, Wang Xiaohu, and Meng Zhu to lead the troops directly into Yangxin to support Liu Heimin from the flank.

Before the news of Dou Xianniang's departure had already arrived, it had already reached Jinan. Du Ruhui and others discussed and arranged for Sun Li, the squire of the military department, to lead Jincheng Niugai and 10,000 troops to send troops to Yangxin to help the county guard Li Wan resist the enemy. He also ordered Pei Caozhi, the commander of Beihai County, who had surrendered, and Li Ming, the commander of the county, to respond.

Wang Fubao and Su Dingfang, who were the first to attack, led the army around the Jinti River and entered the Qinghe River. Qinghe is the ancestral land of the Cui family; Here, except for the surname Zhang, no one can compete with it.

Cui's negative opinion on Cheng Zhijie's series of measures, relying on his strength, Niu Tong has been helpless. Later, Niu Tong and Zhang Wenjin of Qinghe County joined forces to fight against Cui's family, which made the situation slightly better.

The armies of Su Dingfang and Wang Fubao suddenly arrived and surrounded Qinghe; Let Cui Yi and the others be as unprepared as ants on a hot pot. Cui Yi summoned all the retainers to discuss; Everyone discussed for a long time like headless flies; In the end, it was decided to mobilize the power of the family to gather a large army to defend the city, and at the same time ask Qin Qiong in Jinan and Xinzhou for help.

Wu Yun, the first general of the Cui clan, asked the major families in the city to contribute all their private soldiers, plus the original garrison to collect 10,000 troops. In the face of the common enemy, Zhang Wenjin was also very cooperative, and the grain, grass, soldier armor and the equipment to defend the city were all sent down.

Wang Fubao and Su Dingfang came to Qinghe, and without delay, they launched a large army and began to attack the city. Wu Yun personally went into battle, commanded the army to fire thousands of arrows, and smashed down the rolling wood and stones; Xia Jun suffered heavy injuries and couldn't attack for a while.

Wang Fubao and Su Dingfang's task is not to capture Qinghe, but to attract Qin Qiong and others back to rescue; Seeing the fierce resistance of the enemy, he withdrew his troops.

Su Dingfang offered a plan: "I have long heard that Shandong is rich, are we robbing some big households, not only to get some money and food, but also to urge the Cui family; It can also reduce the risk of the following; Why not? ”

Wang Fubao thought so, so he arranged for his subordinates to attack and plunder among the neighbors; He instructed his subordinates: "Our King Xia has always been known for his benevolence, so there is no one to follow in Hebei. In the future, Shandong will also be our territory; You must remember not to harm the people. ”

When the generals heard this, they intervened to receive the order, and then rushed into Qinghe County. For a time, there were storms in all parts of Qinghe; The emergency document fell on Cui Yi's desk like a snowflake. This Qinghe is the base camp of the Cui family, and the surrounding local tyrants and squires are all subordinates of the Cui family.

As soon as these people were robbed, Cui Yi immediately couldn't sit still, and the army in his city was dragged by Wang Fubao and Su Dingfang, so he had to ask Jinan and Qin Qiong for help again.

Cui Xin received the letter from home and was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and his position in the Great Demon Kingdom was more embarrassing; Although he is a servant of the ministry, he is also an important minister; But from Cheng Zhijie downwards, everyone doesn't like him. If it weren't for everyone to give Cui Yu a face, his position as a squire would really be dangerous.

Cui Xin knew that he would most likely be rejected if he went to find Du Ruhui; So he went to his daughter with the letter. As soon as Cui Yu heard that his father asked to see him, he knew what he was going to do? However, it is necessary to strike the tone set by Du Ruhui, Cen Wenwen and Wei Zheng. These people had greeted her beforehand; And she agreed.

Don't say that she doesn't want to take care of this matter, even if she wants to take care of those people, she may not agree. In the Great Demon Country, except for Cheng Zhijie, it is estimated that no one can make them change their minds.

Rubbing her eyebrows, Cui Yu asked the maid to bring her father in; Cui Xin cried loudly when he saw his daughter: "Daughter, please save the Cui family!" ”

Cui Yu pretended not to know and let his father sit down and said, "Father, what's going on?" You will come slowly; As long as my daughter can help, she will definitely help. ”

Cui Xin told Wang Fubao and Su Dingfang's soldiers about the siege of Qinghe, and said bluntly that Qinghe was in danger; Please ask Cui Yu to hurry up and help send rescue troops early.

Cui Yuxiu frowned and began to pour bitter water, saying that the Great Demon Kingdom was attacked in many places; The source of soldiers was nervous, so Cui Xin waited for a while; She went to find Du Ruhui and others to understand the situation. Cui Xin repeatedly begged for help as soon as possible, and then he took his leave.

Cui Yu sent his father away, turned around and found Du Ruhui and others, and then took people to Liaodong by boat in the name of promoting education in Liaodong.

Cui Xin couldn't get the news of reinforcements, so he went to urge his daughter again, but the news he got was true; The princess went to Liaodong to inspect this year's education work. This thunder slammed into Cui Xin's head, making him have to ask Du Ruhui for help again when he lamented that his daughter was outgoing.

Du Ruhui pushed the reinforcements to Cheng Zhijie with a few old fritters and a Tai Chi pusher, telling him that he had sent a letter to the Demon King to explain the situation, and as soon as the war on the southern front was over, the Demon King's army would definitely go to the rescue of Qinghe.

The end of the war on the Southern Front? Do you still need you to save it when it's over? Cui Xin had no choice but to return to the mansion in a huff, and replied to Qinghe about everything that happened here.

Cui Yi was furious when he heard this, and had no choice but to send someone to urge Qin Qiong to meet the troops to rescue; Qin Qiong threw the letter on the table and said: "Reply to Cui Yi and say that Ben Shuai is fighting fiercely with the enemy, and when I repel the enemy soldiers, I will go to rescue Cui Yi." ”

Beat Cui Yi's messenger down; Qin Qiong slapped the table and said: "Liu Heimin is too deceitful, Cui Yi can ignore it, but the battlefield must not be in Shandong!" Niu Tong, Wen Zhong, I will give you 30,000 horses, and I will firmly drag Liu Heimin for me.

Kan Ling, you took 10,000 fire character masters to Yangxin to help Li Wan stabilize the situation; I will lead 10,000 troops to attack Xingzhou, and Luo Shixin will lead 10,000 men to attack Weizhou. If he dares to come in, we'll beat him back! ”

The generals didn't say a word, and kept shouting to fight back! Hit back! Then go back and straighten out the troops.

Cui Yi received Qin Qiong's reply, and the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he squatted on the chair weakly. Wu Yun said confidently: "Don't worry, Lord County Shou, let's clear the river, the city is high and the walls are thick; The thieves are not enough to worry about; Behold that I have repelled the enemy; Look at those guys who want to see our jokes, and what kind of face do they have to ask Qinghe again. ”

Cui Yishen thought and said, "Okay! In this way, I rely on Wu Yun a lot! What to say. This time, they must see the power of the family! ”

Wang Fubao and Su Dingfang robbed for more than ten days in a row, but they got a lot of treasures; However, not a single soldier of the enemy was seen returning to save Qinghe. The two of them wondered, carefully analyzing what was going on?

Su Dingfang said: "Wang Shuai, since the enemy does not return to the army, this is that our stimulation is not enough; Or they think that Qinghe can hold back our army; The last general thinks that we will simply capture the Qinghe River and go all the way south to Jinan; Are you afraid that they will not return to the army? ”

Wang Fubao thought it was reasonable and led the whole army to the city of Qinghe. During this time, they not only looted property, but also built a large number of siege engines.

"Attack with all your might! If you don't take Qinghe, you won't give up! Wang Fubao shouted, and Xia Jun rushed up like an ant. Qinghe is the base camp of the Cui family, and after hundreds of years of operation of the Cui family, it is really solid; Although there are tens of thousands of enemies who are constantly onslaught; But it's still standing.

"Knock the enemy back!" Wu Yun shouted, the arrows on the city rained down, boiling water, and fire oil were also sprinkled on his head, and a piece of fire and water vapor accompanied the screams of the Western Xia army.

The battle lasted from early to evening, and the Xia army suffered thousands of casualties and still couldn't take the Qinghe; Wang Fubao also participated in several charges, but they were all repulsed by the enemy, and one of them was lost in the arm. Wang Fubao stripped naked, asked the military medical officer to bandage the wound, grabbed the Zhangba snake spear, and was about to play again.

Su Dingfang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wang Shuai, you can't fight like this!" If we continue to fight like this, we will take down Qinghe's men, and the casualties will be too serious, and it will be impossible to attack Jinan. ”
