"Of course, Caizhou thought that he could rely on it in this way, which was a godsend, and I was worried that they would slip away all of a sudden. Wang Shouxin has long been eager for a war.

When Huaiyou attacked Pinglu, he and Liu Yansi announced the change of hands of Pinglu Town after failing to get a battle, and it would be a lie to say that there was no unwillingness and loss.

Although there is a different goal now, and this goal is still the life-and-death enemy of Xuzhou, this is the best opportunity for Wang Shouxin and these generals from Pinglu to show.

Liu Yansi did not play well before, although he killed a Caizhou general, but he was just a small character, in the attack and defense of Songcheng, the Caizhou army successfully held the west gate, and dragged until the arrival of reinforcements.

"Hmph, they won't slip away, and they think they can occupy Songzhou to bargain with the county king. Liu Yansi snorted lightly, "The meaning of the county king's letter is also said, it may be resolved through negotiation in the end, but before and between negotiations, what should be done, what else must be done, let us act cheaply, you Wu Ningjun are here, if you just sit here to rest in vain, then what are you doing here?"

"Hehe, Liulang's idea is exactly what he wants, if he doesn't fight a good fight, how can he make Caizhou understand that Songzhou is not something they can dream of. Wang Shouxin was also smiling.

is waiting for this sentence, this time the Wuning Army is reinforced, and it is still mainly based on the Ziqing Army, and now Liu Yansi's attitude also makes Wang Shouxin feel at ease, although there is still a part of the Wuning Army that has not had time to catch up, but the current strength is enough for a big war.

"What does Governor Liu mean, how to fight this battle?" Hong Kui was more concerned about how to fight.

"How many infantry troops have arrived in the Wuning Army?" asked Liu Yansi.

"It has reached the point where five infantry corps have entered the city, fully equipped, and the other three corps have also arrived outside the city, and three of the cavalry corps are stationed outside the city, ready to attack. Wang Shouxin looked confident, "If you add the strength of the Ziqing Army, it should be more than enough to deal with the Caizhou Army." ”

"Judging from the current situation, the strength of the Caizhou army is about 30,000 people, of which three are cavalry, about 7,000 people, one army is arranged in the city, and the remaining two armies are arranged outside the city, and the configuration is similar to ours. Chai Yong groaned: "The Caizhou army has also arranged a considerable number of catapults and heavy crossbows, as well as some equipment such as nest carts, and now they have demolished some of the destroyed houses near the West Gate to facilitate the assault of small groups of cavalry, and they have also laid out these instruments in the courtyards, plus some newly built guard towers, which are ready to fight a protracted war and positional warfare. ”

Chai Yong's opinion is very much valued by Liu Yansi, Wang Shouxin and Long Kui, during this time Liu Yansi was injured basically Chai Yong presided over the overall situation, and Wang Shouxin and Long Kui led the Wuning Army just arrived, and was not familiar with the situation, although Xuzhou had an absolute advantage in terms of strength comparison, but the Caizhou army was not slow, and used this period of time to plan and build the West Gate, especially to lay out some equipment and spells, which was a big test for the Xuzhou army that wanted to go down.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the Caizhou army is afraid, after all, the advantage of troops is here, and when it comes to the strength of equipment and magic, who has Xuzhou been afraid of?

Now with the arrival of the Wuning Army, the instruments and magicians on the side of the Daozang Material Courtyard have also followed up, to fight this battle, to use instruments and techniques to fight, and the Xuzhou Army will also accompany them to the end, which is also the confidence of Xuzhou.

"General Nachai, have the scouts figured out the situation on the Ximen West City side?" Wang Shouxin then asked.

"There are small-scale engagements on both sides every day, especially at night, scouts and snipers on both sides are carrying out operations, more than ten people are killed every day, probably the situation is still understood, but the Caizhou army is also very cunning, not only changing, but also arrangements like spells, and the adjustment speed is very fast, so once the fight starts, there will definitely be many accidents. Chai Yong shook his head and said truthfully.

"How can there be foolproof in a war? Encountering accidents, setbacks, and disadvantages, it is normal, and there has never been anything that goes smoothly, how can we tens of thousands of people fight this battle and expect no casualties?" Wang Shouxin saw this very openly, "As long as we can win the battle, it is worth paying the necessary price, and we must win this battle." ”

"Okay!" Liu Yansi waved his hand suddenly, "Just wait for this sentence, under such an advantage, we still can't win, how can we fight with the Shatuo people and Khitan people in the future?" The cavalry of the Caizhou army is very ordinary, that is, the infantry army is still a little interesting, now we have similar conditions, fighting this battle, it can be regarded as a test of the quality of the Ziqing army and the Wuning army, it is a mule or a horse, pull it out and walk it, it is said that the Yuan family is good at cultivating talents, but I think it is just like that, if he can damage a few young talents in this battle, it can be regarded as a profound lesson for the Yuan family. ”

After learning that the Wuning army on the Xuzhou side had arrived in Songcheng one after another, the Caizhou army knew that this battle would be difficult to do.

Although the Yuan family has negotiated with the envoys sent by the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court can mediate the war with the Xuzhou army in Songzhou as soon as possible, whether it is Yuan Huaihe or Yuan Huaiqing on the front line, or Yuan Wuwei, they all know that the influence of the imperial court on Xuzhou is like the influence of the imperial court on Caizhou, which is minimal, and they will only listen to it when it is beneficial to themselves, and before the goal is achieved, the opinions of the imperial court can be put aside.

With the arrival of the Wuning army, the strength of the Xuzhou army in Songzhou increased sharply, and it was obvious that Xuzhou was absolutely unwilling to give up, and their purpose was also very clear, that is, to capture Songcheng and prepare for the future struggle for Songzhou.

Once Songcheng is lost, then even if it can negotiate with Xuzhou in the future, it will be at an absolute disadvantage, and the conditions offered by Xuzhou are absolutely difficult for Caizhou to accept, so for Songcheng, it is an injunction.

Of course, the Caizhou army also has this confidence, with the arrival of Yuan Huaifang and Zhao Yonghui, the strength of the Caizhou army has increased greatly, 30,000 troops, holding a west city, whether it is Yuan Huaiqing or Yuan Wuwei, they still have this confidence, especially Yuan Huaifang also brought a lot of equipment and magicians from Chenzhou, which will be an important force for the Xuzhou army to face head-on.

Even so, Yuan Huaiqing still didn't dare to be careless, what his side could think of, then the Xuzhou army could also think of it.

The superiority in strength is obvious, so the Xuzhou army will definitely not be willing to stop the war.

Similarly, the equipment and magic power of the Xuzhou army have expanded rapidly in the past few years, and they have shown strong strength in several wars, and even have pressed Caizhou, even if they are unwilling to admit it, Yuan Huaiqing must admit that Xuzhou has been stronger than Caizhou in terms of overall strength, and if Caizhou does not digest the newly annexed Yingbo Chen Prefecture as soon as possible, then I am afraid that Xuzhou will be thrown farther and farther away.

But all this must be based on the premise of winning this battle, winning the battle of Songcheng and holding Songcheng in order to win the opportunity for negotiations, and Xuzhou will definitely not accept such a result.

Yuan Huaiqing leaned over and carefully examined the map on the desk.

This is a map of the entire Songcheng urban area, which has long been coveted by Songzhou, and Caizhoujun's map of Songzhou counties has long been quite finely described, even no less than the map of the Liang Privy Council.

Song Cheng is of course the most important of them, this map is the most detailed embodiment of the entire Song City urban area, and there are many more circles and pen notes on the map, which is the deployment of the Caizhou army in Xicheng, and also includes the spell prohibition and equipment installation of the magicians in various parts in the past few days.

"If the Xuzhou army is unwilling and wants to fight, Lao Qi, how do you think they will fight?" Yuan Huaiqing was still standing next to Yuan Huaifang and Zhao Yonghui, both of them came with reinforcements, here, the boss was still Yuan Huaiqing, and it was Yuan Wuxing who stood opposite the desk with a gloomy face.

Yuan Wuwei was not there, he took a few juniors to inspect the battlefield, and standing beside Yuan Wuxing were Zhao Tong and Yuan Wenliang.

"Qingbo, now the Xuzhou army has increased to 50,000 troops, whether it is an infantry army or a cavalry army, they all occupy a great advantage, and it is not to destroy their own prestige and grow the ambition of others, the strength of the magicians in Xuzhou is stronger than ours, although we can win some advantages with a defensive posture, but I think this may not be enough. ”

Yuan Wuxing's somewhat straightforward words made the faces of everyone present look a little unpleasant, especially Yuan Huaifang and Zhao Yonghui, Yuan Wenliang and Zhao Tong behind him also had a touch of disdain on their faces, obviously having some contempt for Yuan Wuxing, who was known as the three foals of the Yuan family.

30,000 Caizhou Army, and many of them are from Chenzhou, Qiaoxian side of the cutting-edge, the early Ziqing Army in the Caizhou Army has not been reinforced, did not take much advantage, in addition to the loss of Zhao Yuanhuai, it can be said that the performance of the Xuzhou Army on other battlefields is not very good.

Now that the Caizhou army has controlled most of the Xicheng, relying on the defense of these streets and alleys, spells and instruments can play a greater role, and if the Xuzhou army dares to attack, they will be bled to death.

However, Yuan Huaiqing's face did not change much, and his eyes were still wandering on the map, "Old Seven, do you think we can't hold it?"

"It's not that we can't hold it, I just think that even if we hold it, I'm afraid we will pay a considerable price. ”

Yuan Wuxing knew that he didn't like his words very well, but he had to say it, otherwise it would be a dereliction of duty, and if the war really started, the cruel reality would make everyone understand that the war does not look at the early stage and process, but only the result.
