How many people can't tell where the enemy came from, but they heard that the thieves fired two shots and the city gate was blown out, so they fled from the county with the so-called Guan Fang Yin letter! Li Chun rushed up in a rage and raised his leg to kick Zhao Xianling to the ground, and dragged Zhao Muying out of the city and killed! After being persuaded by his subordinates, he was temporarily put aside.

Now what? Several officers looked at each other, feeling that the problem was serious. Military common sense, the cutting off of the rear route of any army is a problem that must be dealt with immediately, and it is generally necessary to consider retreat (breakthrough). Especially in the current situation, the main two battalions of Kaminfu were crowded on the mountain road and were blocked out of Akimura, and the advance was strongly blocked, and the rear road was cut off again. It is very dangerous to rely on four or five days of grain and grass to carry. There is no news from the officers and troops of the other route at the moment, and the actual situation is that without opening the Autumn Village, it is impossible to get in touch with the interspersed detachment.

Overnight, the initiative quietly shifted to the opponent's side.

"My lord, the situation in Fei County is unknown, but I don't think it will be a brigade of bandits, maybe it's just a small unit, and the city has not been lost at all. Their purpose is to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao and scare us into returning to the army to rescue. I don't think you need to pay attention to him, at most you can arrange a team to guard the back road, and today we will plan an attack, defeat Qiucun, and coerce Zhengjiazhuang, maybe they will be in chaos! Wang Yingguan from Qingzhou said.

Li Chun understood what Wang Yingguan meant when he said, "They are in chaos".

"I agree with Lao Wang's opinion, we can't return to the army now." Another battalion officer said.

Li Chun didn't say anything, he was thinking about what happened suddenly. Fei County is afraid that it will be lost, since the thieves are carrying cannons, they should be the main force of the thieves, and they can't hold it with more than 200 defense battalions, and everything should be thought of in the worst way, Li Chun deduced that the enemy who ran to Fei County had at least one battalion, and at the same time, they had successfully opened the county seat. So, how will this enemy act after occupying Fei County?

"First question, how many enemies do we have at the moment?" Li Chun asked the two "guest" battalion officers.

That's a stupid question. After a day of fighting, he did not catch a single enemy alive, so it was impossible to accurately verify the strength of the opponent in the defense. Everyone estimates the enemy who is stuck outside Akimura, and the difference is quite large.

The "Qingzhou Army" believed that the enemy in front of him had at least 700 to 800 people and had strong firepower. And Li Chun thinks that there are not so many enemies. The terrain limited the deployment of troops, and there were too few attack points, which was conducive to defense and not conducive to attacking. If the enemy has only one battalion or one reinforced battalion, then, according to the bandit strength repeatedly speculated before the war, they still have at least two battalions "hidden", and all of these forces are used in the direction of Fei County? If that's the case, your own back road will be very dangerous.

Thinking of this, Li Chun couldn't help but look east.

"On the opposite side is the enemy's brigade, there is no doubt about it." Or the king camp officer, "at least seven hundred people." They have always had a relatively large reserve at their disposal. ”

"I agree with Lao Wang's opinion, don't care about the hostile situation in Fei County, let's meet with Cai Yingguan first."

This is a must, if you retreat now, it is equivalent to "throwing away" Cai Chengxun's interspersed detachment, even if you successfully recapture Fei County, it will be a big defeat! Now, Li Chun remembered Situ Jun's words, to deal with this gang of thieves, it is really not possible to rely on Yizhou's strength alone! However, now is not the time to take regret medicine, what needs to be done now is to make immediate decisions to deal with the crisis in the direction of the county where the payment should be.

"And what if you can't get out of the way of the enemy?" Li Chun asked coldly. Today's battle situation made Li Chun have great doubts about the combat effectiveness of the "Qingzhou soldiers."

"Please rest assured, Lord Li, tomorrow our two battalions will attack side by side, and the enemy will not be able to hold it. In fact, they can't hold it anymore! The two battalion officers swore that they would definitely break the enemy forces in front of them.

"Okay, then please two of you. Open Zhengjiazhuang, and the whole thing is alive. Li Chun made a decision.

If Li Chunzhi's Mengshan Army was only one battalion of Wang Mingyuan, and it was two battalions and one cavalry company led by Long Qian who successfully crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains from Shiyuan to take Fei County, he would not be so sure! Long Qian's plan was to use Wang Mingyuan's second battalion (with three companies under his jurisdiction) to resist the officers and troops head-on, and to use the fourth battalion of Feng Guozhu to garrison Zhengjiazhuang as the general reserve. At the same time, beware of officers and troops from the direction of Yanzhou. He took the first battalion, the third battalion and the cavalry company from Shijiao, took a small road to attack Fei County, cut off the retreat of the officers and troops, and then launched an attack from behind the officers and troops.

The plan is based on the judgment that Fei County is the only place to pass through when the official army sends troops from the direction of Yizhou, and although there is a small road feasible from Fei County to Zhengjiazhuang, eighty percent of the troops will continue to march along the main road. Considering the terrain problem, there are many unfavorable factors to lure the enemy deep into the outside of Zhengjiazhuang Village, so it is better to hold on outside Qiucun. When the front of the officers and soldiers is blocked, and the back road is cut off, the morale of the army must be in chaos. On the 30 or 40 miles of mountain road from Feixian to Qiucun, there is no area where a large corps can be deployed, and our army will certainly be able to put the superior strength of the officers and troops in a useless place because of its familiarity with the terrain and the superiority of its training in mountain warfare. When the officers and troops were trapped in the mountains and wilderness, they were in a dilemma, and even if they dispersed and broke through, the battle was completely lost.

Lu Shan and Feng Guozhu both put forward another possibility, that is, this time the enemy army not only has Feixian Road, but Yanzhou direction is the most dangerous. Jiang Yun's information in Yanzhou is still blank, and if the enemy sends troops from two directions, the situation will become serious. Long Qian stubbornly believed that it was impossible for there to be an officer and army brigade in the Yanzhou direction, and it was possible for a few enemies, such as one or two companies of new troops to be attached to several hundred patrol battalions, and it would be unrealistic to have more. As for what was unrealistic, Long Qian didn't explain more. But he still adopted Lu Shan's suggestion and left the fourth battalion as for Zhengjiazhuang, on the one hand, to be the backup of the second battalion, and on the other hand, to deal with the sudden situation.

The reason why the Second Battalion was chosen was, on the one hand, because Wang Mingyuan insisted on undertaking the most dangerous frontal blocking mission, and on the other hand, it was also because of his trust in the strength and combat effectiveness of the Second Battalion. This time, the second battalion added one company (six companies), making it the largest battalion. So Long Qian handed over this most difficult task to the second battalion.

Everyone objected to Long Qian personally leading troops to fight Fei County. But Long Qian insisted, and everyone was helpless. So the division of labor was done, Ning Shijun guarded the old nest, Zhou Yi squatted in the second battalion, and Lushan squatted in the fourth battalion.

Long Qian instructed the second battalion to do mobile defense, not to stick to a front, even if it retreated to Zhengjiazhuang, it would not be a big deal. However, when Wang Mingyuan and Cheng Erhu chose the battlefield, they insisted that the east of Qiucun was the most conducive to defense, and the mountain roads were narrow and steep, making it difficult for the enemy to deploy troops. If the enemy is placed outside Zhengjiazhuang Village, even if there is a walled wall to rely on, the battle will be much more difficult to fight. Who knows if the official army of Lu Dao still carries cannons this time? Therefore, after the 2nd Battalion accepted the task, it immediately went out to the east of Qiucun and built fortifications overnight, and a large number of civilians were mobilized to help the 2nd Battalion dig trenches. So the battle began, and the 2nd Battalion, relying only on two companies (4th and 6th), repelled six attacks of varying intensity in a day's fierce fighting. Zhou Yi held the fifth company as a reserve in his hand, and he put in a counterattack at a critical moment, which made it difficult for the officers and soldiers to move an inch.

Speaking of artillery, Long Qian left two of the four small-caliber guns in his hand to the second battalion and took two away himself. At the same time, Zhou Yi and Wang Mingyuan were instructed to use as few cannons as possible, and to save these precious cannonballs for more important battles.

However, the attack of the official army on the fourth day of the first day was launched early, which put the second battalion under great pressure. The officers and soldiers concentrated their overwhelming strength to attack the two points, and rushed towards the defenders like superimposed waves. Several infantry units took turns to attack, and the position was critical several times, relying on the white-bladed counterattack of the fifth company and the entry of two small-caliber guns into battle, the position was held! The sudden opening of the artillery frustrated the officers and soldiers, because the officers and soldiers were in a dense attack formation, and the artillery could accurately hit the attackers without the need for clever aiming, bringing a tragic scene of broken limbs and flying flesh and blood. The artillery, which had not been used in yesterday's battle, was sacrificed as a killer weapon by the commander of the defending army, who rushed to the critical situation, and crushed the attack of the officers and troops in one fell swoop.

The second battalion also suffered heavy casualties this time, Zhou Yi, Wang Mingyuan and Cheng Erhu urgently gathered together to discuss, Wang Mingyuan advocated retreating, his reason was that the casualties of the second battalion were too great, and if they continued to fight, they would be injured, and the second battalion, which had more recruits, could no longer damage the backbone veterans, not to mention that Long Qian allowed the second battalion to withdraw to Zhuang after that, and the people of Qiucun had been arranged, relying on the wall of Zhengjiazhuang and these two artillery, the official army would never be able to break Zhuangzi! What's more, there are four battalions to back it up!

Zhou Yi and Cheng Erhu did not agree with the retreat, as long as there was a company coming up from behind, there would be no problem, and it would be a pity to retreat because of the well-built fortifications and good terrain. It's been quiet in the back, what are the four battalions doing idle? Zhou Yi and Cheng Erhu combined, Wang Mingyuan's opinion was untenable, so Zhou Yi sent someone back to Zhengjiazhuang to give an order, and asked the fourth battalion to transfer a company in case of emergency. However, the fourth battalion was actually dispatched and was taken to Zhaojialou by Lu Shan! This news made Zhou Yi deeply dissatisfied, Lu Shan is now on the same level as him, and he has no right to command Lu Shan.

"What! There are almost 100 dead and wounded on our side! But he sat idly by! What are you doing in Zhao's house? The enemy in front of us is two battalions, and we can't eat it. If you join the fourth battalion, you can launch a counterattack. What a fuck! ”

"Deputy Commander Zhou, Lu Shanjue is definitely not running away," Cheng Erhu hurriedly said, "There must be a situation over there, they went to fight the fire." ”

"Well, there are only two battalions of the enemy on the opposite side, you say, will Li Chun send two battalions?" Wang Mingyuan pondered. His injuries have not yet healed, and this time he is a wounded commander.

"You mean there's another enemy?" Zhou Yi's expression became solemn, "Go tell Ning Shijun immediately!" Let him pay attention in other directions! ”

Ning Shijun has already come here on horseback twice, organizing the delivery of ammunition, transporting the wounded, and judging whether reinforcements are needed, all of which are the business of him, the chief of staff of the headquarters, with Ning Shijun's shrewdness, he could not have thought of this.

"It's okay, Lu Shan and Feng Guozhu block that side, and we can rest assured. Let the sixth company withdraw and replace the fifth company with it. Liulian played well this time. Hu Zongyu, this kid is okay! Zhou Yi ordered.

Hu Zongyu directly served as the commander of the newly formed Sixth Company this time, and there were some different voices. However, this blockade proved that although the Sixth Company was a new company, it showed tenacious combat effectiveness.

"Now it's up to the commander." Wang Mingyuan said, "I guess, there should be movement on the commander's side." ”

"Yes, there should be news at the latest." Zhou Yi wiped his mud-stained hands on his cotton pants, "Let's prepare how to deal with the next attack of the dog day, the fourth battalion is fucking slipped, and we can't retreat." ”

Wang Mingyuan and Cheng Erhu also became nervous, the fifth company had all been used, and there were no reserves, and the next attack might tear apart the defense line......

"The officers and troops have withdrawn, they have withdrawn," Hu Zongyu, the commander of the sixth company, shouted happily, and vaguely, he heard gunfire from behind the enemy formation.
