"This is Qi County?" Jiang Feng looked at the city in front of him from a distance. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Said majestic, slightly exaggerated, Qi County is not big, in Huaibei is a medium county, but according to the water, and in Xuzhou south post road, the traffic is also quite convenient, but if it is compared with Fuli, it will be inferior.

Due to the abolition of Suzhou and the re-establishment, the establishment and abandonment, the more than 100 years of repeated tossing, which also directly led to the fact that Qi County has always been difficult to become the center of the south of Xuzhou, on the convenient transportation and prosperous commerce, can not be compared with the bridge, on the important status, can not be compared with the Fuli, so it is not embarrassing and not embarrassing status.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it doesn't look too big, but it's under the bridge, and it's really uncomfortable here. It was Wang Miao who spoke, and he strangled the cowhide belt around his waist, and he looked excited, "Yao Chengtai's main force has been stationed in Fuli, probably because he doesn't want us to take Qi County and threaten the Tongqiao and Bianqu waterways, so this guy is desperate to fight to the death with us in Qi County." ”

Jiang Feng and Wang Miao were most worried at the beginning that Yao Chengtai would send all the cavalry out in a desperate attempt to carry out non-stop raids and sabotage along the Lianshui line, which would have a great impact on the morale of the entire Huaiyou Army, and even if they finally arrived at the city of Qixian, they would be exhausted and suffer a lot of losses.

But he didn't expect that although Yao Chengtai sent a cavalry to raid his rear baggage team, he never expected that his main magic equipment was concentrated on the rear army, and Huang Anjin gave the other party a surprise counterattack, which made the other party suffer a big loss, and then, Yao Chengtai stayed in Qi County honestly and didn't dare to come out again.

Therefore, the Huaiyou army was able to arrive at the city of Qixian so smoothly and carry out preparations before the siege in an orderly manner.

However, according to the intelligence collected by the scouts and scouts, there are still about 10,000 troops stationed in the city of Qixian County, and if you want to pull out this nail, it will also be a big test for the Huaiyou army.

The reason why Wang Miao is so confident is that, on the one hand, he also understands that the morale of the armies under Yao Chengtai is not high, even if it is its elite, due to the pessimism about the current situation, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and more importantly, Wang Miao has observed the power displayed by the magic troops in advance, so he is not worried about taking such a city as Qi County, which is not too high, the only unpredictable thing is how much the Huaiyou Army will have to pay for this.

When the Huaiyou Army arrived at the city of Qixian, it meant that the battle could only end in the defeat of one side.

"It's a tug-of-war. Jiang Feng sighed.

News has already arrived from Fu Li's side.

Unexpectedly, I didn't expect them to be able to raid Fuli successfully and take Fuli in one fell swoop, to defend Fuli, it is much better than to defend Tongqiao, but there is also an unexpected situation, that is, Shang Yunxi poured out of the nest and swooped towards Fuli with Shi Yu's 10,000 army.

It turned out that Jiang Feng had always thought that even if Shang Yunxi felt cold again, at least two armies should be retained to garrison Xiao County, but he didn't expect Shang Yunxi's courage to be so great, he actually went out with all his strength, and the number of troops sent by Shi Yu also exceeded Jiang Feng and Wang Miao's expectations, 10,000 troops, and Jiang Feng and Wang Miao predicted that there would be no more than three armies, and two armies were the most likely, but they didn't expect Shi Yu to be so desperate.

As a result, the army that was originally expected to go south was only between 15,000 and 20,000, but now it has reached 25,000 people, and the pressure on the Huaiyou Army, which has less than 10,000 people, is enormous, especially since two of the four armies are naval armies, and the other two armies are the newly formed First Right Army and the Second Right Army.

Fortunately, Fu Licheng is far more majestic than Qi County, and the navy army carries a large number of magic equipment and some magic mage power, which will undoubtedly give them a profound lesson for the probation army who have not yet tasted the blow of Huaiyou's magic power.

The offensive and defensive battles of Qixian and Fuli are estimated to start at the same time, but the offensive and defensive sides are mutually exchanged, who can hold the city, but can conquer the opponent's city, then it means that whoever is the winner.

"Yes, if we take Qi County first, it means that we have the first hand, and in the same way, if they take Fu Li first, the pressure will be on us. ”

Wang Miao is still a little worried about them in his heart, the combat effectiveness of the naval army is not weak, but it is on the water, and now he abandons the boat and lands, and he wants to fight a defensive war, can he do it?

The other two armies are infantry, Qin Han and Luo Chenggan's martial arts standards are very high, Qin Han is a small heavenly powerhouse, and both of them are Huainan's generals, but after all, these two armies are reorganized from the remnants of the Zhongzheng Army and the Desheng Army, and their morale and combat effectiveness will inevitably be affected, so it depends on whether Qin Han and Luo Chenggan can successfully mobilize the spirit and enthusiasm of this army.

Perhaps the only thing that reassured Wang Miao was that a certain number of magic instruments and magic mage power were also arranged at the beginning, and magic equipment and magic mage power were the most powerful in defensive warfare, but after all, the war still had to be fought by people, and all predictions could only be tested through actual combat.

"I believe that Mei Guo and Chunlai are them, and I also believe that Qin Han and Luo Chenggan will fight this battle in order to prove themselves. Jiang Feng not only seemed to cheer himself up again, but also seemed to persuade Wang Miao: "Within ten days, this battle must be clear!"

With the beginning of the camp, the 20,000 troops and 10,000 masters under the city wall began to work around the county seat of Qixian County like a huge beehive.

Yao Chengtai has been standing on the city wall and observing the Huaiyou army under the city.

Although he has heard the name of the Huaiyou Army for a long time, Yao Chengtai has never really come into contact with the Huaiyou Army, nor has he dealt with it, everything comes from hearsay and the information collected by the scouts.

After Jiao Yi missed, Yao Chengtai thought about it again and again and did not dispatch cavalry.

Raids require sufficient cavalry and can withstand attrition, but there is also a serious shortage of cavalry in their own hands.

He believes that the Huaiyou Army is prepared, and it has done a very thorough job in defense, and even slowed down the march, plus the other side also has cavalry to follow up, once it is entangled by the opponent, it is difficult to get out, and for the cavalry that may play a big role in the future, Yao Chengtai hopes to be able to use it as a killer weapon at a critical moment.

The Huaiyou Army is still very disciplined, one is on guard, the other is camped, and it is orderly, which also makes Yao Chengtai a little frightened, looking at this appearance, the other party is determined to fight this battle.

It is rumored that the Huaiyou Army is very accomplished in magic, especially in magic equipment, but it is not visible now, but it can be seen from the various materials loaded on the various panniers that have been transported one after another, which is different from the situation of other armies, especially the northern army.

His own side also has magic power, but Yao Chengtai knows that his magic power is not a climate, and can only play some auxiliary roles, but if he concentrates his strength to use it at a critical time, it can still exert a special effect, which depends on the changes in the war.

"Dashuai!"

"Hmm, what's the situation?" Yao Chengtai didn't look back.

"It's not very good. The military general who followed behind hesitated, "The situation of the loss of the bridge has spread below, and rumors have spread everywhere, all saying that the grain in the county town is only enough to eat for half a month, and the price of grain is now rising wildly, and there are still some people who are trying to go out of the city, many of them are gentry in the city, and they almost fought." ”

Yao Chengtai's face remained unchanged, and he snorted lightly, "Hmph, no one is allowed to go out of the city, those who jump the most, make a list, and all of them will raid their homes tonight to set an example!

"Dashuai!?" the military general was taken aback.

"Just do as I say!" Yao Chengtai's eyes were a little more cold, "If we can't win this battle, we will only have to finish the game, and I can take care of the rest?" After raiding the house, first collect all the gold and silver deeds of these people, and gather all the female dependents of these gentry, and tell the brothers below that as long as they hold Qi County for ten days, the army of the Jiedu envoy and the army of Caizhou will arrive!

The generals were shocked, the Caizhou Army?! The marshal actually joined forces with the Caizhou Army?

Does the knot make that there also know?

For Yao Chengtai, as long as he can maintain his power, whoever has thick legs will hold whomever he wants, it doesn't matter, but he needs to prove his strength in order to recognize himself with the thick legs he wants to hold, so he must win this battle.

But what will the people down there think?

Seeing his henchman's face of disbelief, Yao Chengtai sighed: "Wugui, it's different now, you should know that after this battle, no matter what the result is, the Shi family's rule in Xuzhou will come to an end, either the Caizhou Yuan clan or the Huaiyoujiang clan, where should we go? Do we surrender to Huaiyou now? Then what kind of result do you think we will get? I am afraid that there will be no other result except to look down on us." ”

"But Caizhou ......"

"What about Caizhou? As long as we can get through this hurdle, we are the head snakes of the land, and with the support of the Yuan clan in Caizhou, we will be able to gain a foothold in Xuzhou! There is no doubt that Yu Mingzhen has already taken refuge in Huaiyou, otherwise how can we explain the attack on Tongqiao? It is too late for us to surrender to Huaiyou, and now we have only one way, that is, to defeat the Huaiyou army and prove ourselves, so that we can gain a foothold in Xuzhou in the future. ”

Yao Chengtai's words were already a little more gloomy and unwilling.

"Besides, Huaiyou's foundation is shallow, but his appetite is very big, if he can't swallow this mouthful, I think there will be a chain reaction, don't look at Huaiyou now swallowing Luhao Erzhou, as long as there is a slight wind and grass, whether it is Li Yu or the original remnants of the Yang family, they will suddenly jump up, this is the sorrow of Jiang Feng, a small family, he has no family foundation, how can he gain a foothold? Once he suffers defeat, he will be like the former Qin Heavenly King Fu Jian's Eastern Expedition, the rout is like a mountain collapse and a sea crack, and it is out of control!"

This argument is undoubtedly far-fetched, but at this time, Yao Chengtai must be reasonable, and he can't even convince his own henchmen, how to make others believe it?
