On the night of the destruction of Suqian City, Gao Huaiyuan received the news sent by the scouts in the direction of Pizhou, and as they expected, Li Quanzhen ran to Pizhou, and surrounded Pizhou City overnight, and immediately launched a fierce siege, and Pizhou City was caught off guard, and even the news of distress was not sent, it was surrounded, and after Gao Huaiyuan received the news, Pizhou has been besieged for more than three days. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info.

However, Gao Huaiyuan also received a good news, the good news is that after Zhao Shanxiang was ordered to send troops to Fengyang, he had already conquered Fengyang, captured more than 2,000 Li Quan's soldiers, and initially stabilized the defense of Yangzhou, so that the rest of Li Quan's troops in the southwest were squeezed by the Song army, so that they had to retreat in the direction of Suzhou, so that the room for the rest of the army to maneuver was greatly squeezed, and the situation of the entire Li Quanjun army began to develop in the direction of defeat.

After the news was confirmed, Gao Huaiyuan no longer dared to slack off, leaving the Japanese army to temporarily defend Suqian, and mobilizing the surrounding people to participate in the repair of the city wall destroyed by the war and various defensive facilities, and even the craftsmen of the army also stayed in Suqian to help repair the defense facilities as soon as possible, in case Li Quan's remaining troops in the Xuzhou area counterattacked Suqian, cutting off the communication between the Song army and the direction of Chuzhou.

And Gao Huaiyuan ordered the remaining soldiers and horses that day, and immediately set off towards Pizhou with Zhou Jun's Flying Tiger Army Headquarters, this time Gao Huaiyuan made up his mind to completely solve Li Quan in Pizhou, and he could no longer let Li Quan go on like this.

Time flies, in a blink of an eye, more than two months have passed since he sent out the army, and the weather has begun to get warmer, and then let Li Quan run down, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, if within half a year, Gao Huaiyuan has failed to complete his promise, this will be a big blow to his reputation, which is greatly detrimental to him to continue to do things in the future, so although Gao Huaiyuan has not slept for so many days, he does not dare to slack off, cheer up, while cheering up the generals and soldiers in the army, while forcibly marching towards Pizhou.

This time Huang Yan did not rush to the air, he was ordered to rush to Pizhou, then once again supervised the army to a rapid march, Suqian from Pizhou is only a straight line distance of about 100 miles, but here the waterways are dense, although Huang Yan supervised the army in a hurry, but the speed of the march is not very fast, many places need to cross the river, so as to limit the speed of his rush to Pizhou, at the end of the day, their cavalry actually only marched dozens of miles, and there is nearly half of the road to catch up with Pizhou.

Although it was late, he was still not allowed to camp to rest, and continued to wave the army to hurry, once Pizhou was lost, they had to choose the time-consuming and laborious way of attacking the city again, and the city of Pizhou had enough food and grass, once Li Quan captured the city of Pizhou, with his current strength, there was no problem in holding out in Pizhou for two or three months, so Huang Yan did not dare to be a little lazy, and was determined to rush to Pizhou to contain him before Li Quan broke through Pizhou.

Huang Yan walked very hard, Li Quan fought very hard, after he came out of Shuyang, he learned in advance from the mouth of the fine mouth that the current strength of the Flying Tiger Army in Pizhou City was empty, when Zhou Jun led the troops out of Pizhou to attack Suqian, there were only more than 1,000 people left here to guard Pizhou, although Liu Chengyi sent two thousand town defenders from Haizhou to reinforce, but Pizhou City was only 3,000 generals, the guard was a young general named Peng Shaochun who was not very famous, Li Quan made up his mind at that time, and changed the route to Pizhou to attack Pizhou City.

In order to achieve the suddenness of his strategy, Li Quan even concealed his subordinates, and abandoned the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in the army and the thousands of people who came from Shuyang, and ordered them to rush to Suqian to support, but he suddenly turned on the way, bypassed Maling Mountain, and took a small road to Pizhou, and even the remnants of the soldiers who followed behind did not notice, and got rid of them all the way to Pizhou.

Peng Shaochun, the defender of Pizhou City, did not expect Li Quanhui to attack suddenly at this time, he was still busy repairing the city wall damaged by the war, and discussed with his subordinates to prepare to send a small group of soldiers and horses to set off in the direction of Xuzhou, attack Xuzhou, and complete the task assigned to him by Liu Chengyi.

But just when he was busy with these things, an unexpected thing saved Pizhou City, Peng Shaochun followed Zhou Jun from Daye to Haizhou, then put into the army to do things, and followed Zhou Jun to develop a good habit, after taking over Pizhou City, sent a number of ranger scout squads, patrolling around Pizhou, although he did not expect the sudden arrival of Li Quan's army, but one of his scouts unexpectedly found Li Quan's army, and sent a fast horse to return Peng Shaochun at the first time, It provided Peng Shaochun with a period of valuable time.

At first, Peng Shaochun didn't quite believe what the scout said, but after seeing the arrow wound on the scout's back, Peng Shaochun still reported the mentality of taking precautions, ordered the four gates to be closed, and transferred the soldiers who were repairing the city wall outside the city into the city, and personally went to the city to check the situation.

Sure enough, just after he had just arranged these things, Li Quan led the army to arrive outside Pizhou City, and quickly cleared out the scout team arranged by Peng Shaochun outside the city, and firmly surrounded Pizhou City.

Peng Shaochun had two choices at that time, one was to immediately abandon the city and flee, withdraw from Pizhou and retreat to the East China Sea, while Li Quanzhi was in Pizhou, he would definitely not chase and fight, and Peng Shaochun basically still had a chance to retreat.

The second option is to stick to Pizhou, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, it is very dangerous to do so, Pizhou City used to be Li Quan's territory, the Flying Tiger Army has just taken Pizhou City for not many days, it can be said that the foundation is not stable, and the strength of the troops under his command and the army led by Li Quan is very different, and the people in the city can not be expected to defend the city with their common hatred, so it is said that the chance of dying is obviously very high.

But Peng Shaochun finally chose to stick to the road of Pizhou City, because he knew that Pizhou City was now critical to the elimination of Li Quan, don't look at Peng Shaochun's age, but the strategic vision is quite not bad, from all kinds of news, he analyzed the current situation in Huaidong, Li Quan can now be said to have reached the end of the road, Pizhou City is his only chance to turn the book, there is a large amount of grain and grass in reserve, as long as Pizhou City is taken, he will open up the contact with the direction of Xuzhou, as long as the news reaches Xuzhou, They will be able to join forces together, and they will be able to confront the Song army and the Flying Tiger army again.

Therefore, Pizhou City is very important now, Peng Shaochun did not dare to easily lose Pizhou City, so he even summoned the subordinates of Pizhou City, cut his wrists in public, and swore with blood that he would coexist and die with Pizhou City, these subordinates are the old departments that the Flying Tiger Army has gathered over the years, most of them have received the favor of the Flying Tiger Army, and their families have been treated well by the Flying Tiger Army, so these subordinate generals immediately echoed in unison, wanting to coexist and die with Peng Shaochun, and swore to block Li Quan's siege.

Human nature is sometimes very strange, when you really see death as home, everything becomes nothing to be afraid of, although the defenders in the city are only more than 3,000 people, and they are only about a few hundred people assigned to the various city walls, but they have made up their minds to complete a feat, Li Quan led the army to storm Pizhou City for four days, and was stunned that he could not knock down Pizhou City, but lost more than 2,000 people under Pizhou City.

Li Quan was really angry, everything was going on according to his plan, Pizhou City should be as easy to seize as it was in his eyes, but after arriving here, it was as if he had hit his head against the wall, and his head was bleeding.

This can't blame Li Quan's generals for being too weak in combat effectiveness, after all, these more than 10,000 people are his last descendants, and they can be regarded as loyal to him, and there is no shortage of brave people, these people can be said to have spared no effort to rush forward without fear of death when attacking the city.

But after all, when he escaped from Shuyang this time, he went out of the city lightly, only carrying the rations in the army, and there was no siege baggage, not to mention the complete siege equipment like the Song army, and all they could use was some long ladders that were temporarily put together outside the city and a few simple throwing carts, and the only ones left were the limited bows and crossbows and arrows they carried.

And the defenders in the city broke out unusually brave, and thanks to Li Quan's previous gifts, the various equipment in the city was very sufficient, after the two armies started the war, Peng Shaochun relied on these defensive equipment, and Li Quan's army was miserable, and repeated attacks were commanded by Peng Shaochun to beat down.

Although there are some Li Quan's meticulous works in the city, they have also made efforts, trying to take advantage of the chaos and anti-water, and should cooperate with the outside to assist Li Quan to capture Pizhou City, but Peng Shaochun does not look young, but he is also a ruthless person, Li Quanjun has just arrived outside the city, and has not yet begun to attack the city, so he arranged five hundred knife and axe men to patrol the city, declared martial law in the city, as long as he finds someone going out, he will be killed, as a result, Li Quan's fine work in the city has just taken action, and it was discovered by Peng Shaochun, gathered the generals, and killed these people cleanly. And cut off the heads of these people and hung them above the gates, on the one hand, to deter the people in the city who were inclined to Li Quan, and on the other hand, to hit Li Quan's morale.

On the fourth day of the battle, Li Quan was almost mad, he didn't believe that with his more than 10,000 people, in the face of a defender with less than 3,000 people, he couldn't capture Pizhou City, he had thought of any way in the past few days, but Peng Shaochun's soldiers came to block the water and flood, and resolved Li Quan's offensive one by one, and blocked Li Quan's army outside the city, making it difficult to move an inch.
