Suddenly, the war that suddenly came to a standstill was once again driven by Wu Qing and others.

Wu Qing's original more than 300 people, plus more than 700 soldiers who had already left the city, with the help of the soldiers on the wall like a rain of arrows, the number was not much different from the Zhou army, and they rushed towards the Zhou army in style.

At this time, more than 1,000 Zhou troops who had already stopped acting had already lined up and escorted the retreating Zhao Kuangyin and Huangfuhui into the formation.

Wu Qing and the others rushed to the edge of the range of the arrows at Guantou, and defiantly waved to the Zhou army, inviting them to come forward to attack.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Wu Qing, who was standing in the front row with an arrogant look, gritted his silver teeth, and waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat temporarily.

Seeing that the Zhou army retreated in the direction of Xiaoluling, Wu Qing turned around and asked the switch to let the army in.

After closing the door and opening it again, Metropolitan Supervisor Yao Feng rushed out and looked at Wu Qing in disbelief: "The old man has just arrived, could it be that General Huangfu has really been ......?"

Wu Qing shook his head bitterly, and replied in a sad tone: "Back to General Yao, General Huangfu was careless for a while and fell into the hands of the enemy, fortunately, Lord Huangfu was brave and unyielding, and fought hard to resist, so as not to lose the pass, but General Huangfu estimated that there was more than luck!" ”

Yao Feng's eyes seemed to be bigger than the closed door, and he looked at Wu Qing and said, "The soldier said that you have a secret decree from the King of Qi, can you let the old man take a look?" ”

"Well, naturally!" Wu Qing touched it in his arms, his face immediately changed, and he turned around and made a look of wanting to return to the battlefield, "Not good!" It must have just fallen into the battlefield! ”

Yao Feng's face was extremely ugly, and his hands and feet trembled as he looked at Wu Qing's figure whether he wanted to leave or not.

Wu Qing took two small steps, turned back, looked at Yao Feng, and said sincerely: "General Yao, the most important thing now is to discuss how to arrange the next battle!" The holy decree is small, and the next time you see King Qi, Wu can ask King Qi to testify in person! ”

Yao Feng glared at Wu Qing, turned around and left.

Wu Qing was anxious, stepped forward and grabbed Yao Feng, and said in a low voice: "Lord Yao, the only way now is to burn the pass to block the enemy and retreat to Chuzhou City!" Qingliu Pass, just a small pass! As long as Chuzhou City is not lost, we will not be defeated! ”

Yao Feng looked at Wu Qing coldly and didn't say a word.

Wu Qing was in a hurry, pointed to Beiguan, where there was still the sound of war drums, and shouted in a low voice: "If you continue to interrupt, you will suffer from it!" Now, we have lost the boss, and there is not much food in the pass, if the enemy attacks from the north and south and traps us for a few days, we will be finished, and the Qingliu Pass will not be saved! Lord Wang of Chuzhou was born as a literati, but he was afraid that he would not be able to defend the city! At that time, our sins will be great, and a few heads will not be enough for the emperor and the king of Qi to cut off! ”

Yao Feng sighed lightly, his expression gloomy.

Wu Qing suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "General Yao, please decide quickly, burn the pass immediately, and the whole army will assault Chuzhou!" That's the way to win in defeat, and once more enemy forces come over the mountain, we'll be completely trapped! ”

Yao Feng closed his eyes suddenly, struck his fists in the air a few times, and roared unwillingly twice before he raised his voice: "The whole army retreats!" Burn off! ”

Soon, a large amount of hay and grain was quietly moved to the top and bottom of the Beiguan Tower, and the rest of the soldiers began to pack their bags.

A quarter of an hour later, a raging fire ignited from Beiguan and quickly spread. At the same time, the Nanguan gate was wide open, and several ladders were put up on the wall, and the soldiers hurriedly crossed the wall from the gate and the ladder, and lined up urgently under the gate.

Wu Qing seemed to have become the commander-in-chief of the army, and let Tao Chun and Zou Shengping lead a group of brothers who were born and died to be the supervising team, and he commanded the soldiers around the battle formation with big shields with punches and kicks, running back and forth, constantly roaring repeatedly: "The enemy has no horses, so he can only race and run with us!" Remember, keep the formation and run until Chuzhou City we won! Who dares to run around and shout, Lao Tzu slashed him with a knife! ”

This fierce god claims to have the secret decree of the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, but even the general Huangfu dares to give it up!

Under Wu Qing's deterrence, the soldiers who had already learned of the current situation all shut their mouths, quickly lined up in a rectangular shield array, and ran towards Chuzhou City, seven miles to the southeast.

Zhao Kuangyin, who had just withdrawn his soldiers and horses to the vicinity of Xiaoluling, saw the fire and smoke rising from Qingliu Pass, his expression changed greatly, and he immediately rushed back with the whole team!

Soon, more than 6,000 retreating soldiers from the Southern Tang Dynasty lined up in a neat shield formation appeared in front of them.

Zhao Kuangyin, who did not expect the enemy to act so decisively, led a total of more than 2,000 Houzhou soldiers to take turns to attack several times, although he successfully killed a few soldiers, but because they had previously traveled lightly to facilitate the climb over the mountain, they could not easily break through the entire shield array, so they had to call in vain. The Southern Tang soldiers, who were bent on saving their lives, tried their best to keep their formation unchanged, and the speed under their feet became faster and faster.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the tired brothers around him, and then looked at the flaming Qingliu Pass, and finally did not make up his mind to desperately block it, so he had to unwillingly entangled the tortoise shield shell array of this angry man.

Seven miles of road, the desperate Southern Tang soldiers ran to Chuzhou City in less than two quarters of an hour.

Yao Feng personally stepped forward, shouted to open the city gate, and led the army to gradually withdraw into the city.

Seeing Yao Feng retreat smoothly with the elite, Shaoyan, the king of Chuzhou Thorn History, who was so anxious that he was covered in a cold sweat at the head of the city, sat down on the ground, and then bounced up quickly, ran to directly hand over the task of defending the city to Yao Feng, and led a group of his subordinates to hurriedly hide back to the Thorn Shi Mansion.

Yao Feng, who had made up his mind to defend Chuzhou, was the only one who assigned the guards of the four cities on the spot, and temporarily promoted Wu Qing and Tao Chun as deputy generals, and Zou Shengping as the captain, and the three of them guarded the west gate facing the enemy, and at the same time strictly required each city to stick to the end and wait for Jinling reinforcements.

On the evening of October 15, the mountain fire was basically extinguished, and the remaining more than 2,000 Hou Zhou raid soldiers finally arrived from the east mountain road, and Hou Zhang's army, which had extinguished the fire at Qingliu Pass, also passed through Qingliu Pass smoothly, and the Hou Zhou army surrounded Chuzhou City.

At this point, after Shouzhou, the periphery of Haozhou and Chuzhou in the north and south of the Tang River and Huainan were lost, and they fell into a situation of being alone in the city.

Almost at the same time when Chuzhou was besieged, Wu Yue Jinghai Jiedu made Qian Hongyu lead an army of 100,000 to successfully break out of the mountain sniper array, surrounded Fuzhou City, and began to recruit people everywhere to besiege the city.

Zheng Yanhua, the deputy general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, who led the retreat, and Chen Decheng, the deputy general who was temporarily stationed in Fuzhou, agreed early on the strategy of holding the city, and had already sealed all the waterways in and out of Fuzhou and most of the city gates with bricks and stones in advance, leaving only Yanshengmen in the northwest and Ningyue Gate in the south.

After discussion, Chen Decheng and Zheng Yanhua repeatedly announced in the whole city that as long as each household sent a strong man to help defend the city, not only should all the treatment be compared with the regular army, but also would be rewarded and exempted from rent for one year, two years, and three years according to the merits, and temporarily gathered 3,000 strong men in the city to defend the city together with 15,000 soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

After half a year, Fuzhou City once again faced a brutal offensive and defensive battle.

To the south, the city of Zhangzhou, which had less than 20,000 defenders, was also surrounded by 60,000 Southern Han troops, and the Southern Han army did not attack the city on a large scale for the time being, but it kept harassing and feinting day and night, and Zhangzhou City was shocked three times a day.

Further south, the city of Chaozhou, which was only more than 6,000 defenders, was attacked by the 80,000 Southern Han combined army day and night, and was attacked several times, and the whole city was crumbling. Zhang Yunkai, the deputy general of the city defense, was isolated and helpless, leading a group of men to struggle.

Because these cities were all besieged around October, later history called this period of history the "October Siege". However, Shouzhou City, which is the starting point and center of the war storm, begins to stage another strange battle that is ridiculous: garbage war!
