Leading a group of remnants of the defeated army back to Qingyuan County, Qu Li breathed a sigh of relief, but after counting the people, he collapsed on the chair, as if he had been pulled out of the backbone.

Of the nearly 20,000 troops who went out with him, there were only more than 5,000 people who fled back to Qingyuan County!

Nearly eighty percent of the army under his command were all buried in the Tuochuan Valley!

That's nearly 15,000 people!

At the thought of this number, Qu Lidu's eyes turned a little black, and his chest ached faintly!

At this time, the general who was arranged to defend the city asked suspiciously: "Dashuai, why don't you see General Maofu?" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and all the thieves turned sympathetic eyes to this blind colleague.

Which pot doesn't open which pot, I didn't see that the handsome man was in an anxious mood!

It's really a rat against the bridge of the cat's nose - looking for death!

Qu Li glanced at the other party and said lightly: "The Mao Mansion led the troops into the valley without authorization, was ambushed by the other party, was shot by random arrows, and unfortunately died. ”

Several of Qu Li's henchmen exchanged glances vaguely, and they all saw the slightest hint of horror in each other's eyes.

They could see it clearly, when they were ambushed, the other party's target was obviously the marshal, and Mao Zong was just used as a shield by the marshal, so he died tragically on the spot.

From this incident, they also saw how cold the handsome's heart was.

But their interests have been completely tied to the marshal, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, and now it is impossible to get off this boat.

"You should try your best to pacify your subordinates first, maybe tomorrow the official army will besiege Qingyuan County."

Qu Liqiang breathed a sigh of relief and arranged all the affairs of defending the city.

When the group of subordinates withdrew from the county government hall, Qu Li suddenly sat down on the chair and looked out of the hall in a daze.

Obviously, he has an army of 30,000 in his hands, how can this situation ...... All of a sudden, it's like this?

Clearly...... Am I the advantage?

"Handsome ......"

The guards guarding outside the county office saw that there was no sound in the lobby, and they were puzzled in their hearts, so they hurriedly asked out loud.

"Bring a drink to Ben Shuai!"

Qu Li's voice came.

"Marshal, you have given an order before, it is strictly forbidden to drink ...... in the army"

Before he finished speaking, Qu Li's voice became impatient.

"Go ahead."

The guard was about to say something, but his companion shook his head at him and motioned for him to say no more.

The liquor entered his throat, and Qu Li's gaze became blurred.

At this moment, only drunkenness can temporarily withdraw him from reality.

"Handsome, handsome! The officers and troops are besieging the city! ”

A panicked voice came from outside the house.

Qu Liluo's somewhat hungover mind suddenly cleared up, pushed away the woman beside him, jumped up from the bed, put on his clothes and armor, walked out of the room, looked at the panicked guard, and said coldly:

"What a panic! Ben Shuai is not dead yet! Let's go, go up to the city wall with Ben and take a look! ”

Immediately, Qu Li led a group of guards to the city wall.

Holding on to the female wall, Qu Li looked down, only to see the officers and troops rushing from afar to Qingyuan County like a tide, setting up a large camp three miles outside the county seat, forming a formation, and encircling the north and west sides of the county seat.

Seeing the official army arranged like this, Qu Li sneered.

"Although Ben Shuai has not read a few military books, he also knows that when attacking the city, the truth of besieging three ques and one is just the siege method of the official army, but Ben Shuai has never seen it."

Siege three que one, refers to the siege of the city, in order to reduce the defenders of the city to break the net of the decisive heart, whether the besieging side has the ability to annihilate the enemy army or not, will fight around the three directions of the city wall, and deliberately lay a small number of troops on the last side, leaving a gap, for the defender to break through.

However, the gap on this side does not mean that it is left alone, but that it is exquisite. First of all, this road should be rugged enough to be suitable for ambush, and secondly, this road should ensure uniqueness, so that the enemy army cannot be scattered and flee after breaking through the siege, and become a chaotic army that causes trouble to the surrounding area.

Therefore, the lack of one of the three is often called the siege of the master.

When several generals on the side heard this, although they smiled in agreement, the expressions on their faces were still not relaxed.

Qu Li saw it in his eyes, pointed to the official army and said with a smile:

"Don't scare yourself, you see, the number of officers and soldiers is only about 6,000, not even 10,000."

As he spoke, he slapped the women's wall again.

"Don't forget, the city wall of Qingyuan County is made of bluestone, which is much stronger than ordinary rammed earth walls. Think about how much energy we spent a few days ago in order to lay down Qingyuan County? ”

As soon as these words came out, Qu Li saw that the expressions of his generals relaxed a lot, so he continued to say:

"At the beginning, there were more than 20,000 of us, and it was so laborious to attack this Qingyuan county, Ben Shuai didn't believe it, then Zhao Xu Xiaoer was able to capture this Qingyuan county with less than 10,000 people in his hands! This time, Ben Shuai will definitely let him hit his head and break the blood flow under this Qingyuan County, and he has avenged yesterday's revenge! ”

Thinking of yesterday's rout, Qu Li's heart dripped.

But he subconsciously thought that his defeat yesterday was not the credit of Zhao Xu, the king of Ning, but the result of Zhao Xu's subordinate deputy general surnamed Yuan who used a secret decree to seize military power and use tactics.

I just underestimated the enemy and suffered a loss, but now that I have learned a lesson, how can I be in the official army again?

As long as they hold the county seat steadily, the officers and soldiers will have nothing to do, and when they hold each other for a long time, the officers and soldiers will not have enough food and grass, so they have to retreat.

At that time, he is waving his army to cover up the killing, and he will definitely be able to avenge the defeat of the Tuochuan Valley yesterday!

Sure enough, the officers and troops only tentatively attacked two waves, and when they saw that the rebels were so well defended that they could not even climb the city wall, they had to hurriedly leave a few corpses and withdraw back to the camp.

Qu Li looked at the embarrassed retreat of the officers and soldiers, and sneered in his heart.

After explaining that the generals should not relax and prevent the other party from attacking at night, Qu Li turned around and returned to the temporary house where he lived, and was once again immersed in fine wine and singing.

Don't look at Fang Cai, he pointed out the country in front of his subordinates, scolded Fang Xuan, and threatened to teach the official army a painful lesson, but in fact, he knew very well in his heart that if he couldn't repel this wave of officers and troops and capture Zhao Xu'er, then after losing most of the main force, his prestige would inevitably fall to the bottom among the rebels.

If the big man of the Five Immortals Sect was not satisfied with the current situation, some people wanted to hug that person's lap and sit in their place......

As for Jiang Fangshun, who has always called himself a brother, he will not have any opinion on changing partners.

Businessmen, they all put their interests first, as for what kind of brotherhood, how much money is it worth?

Thinking of this, Qu Li couldn't help but take another sip of wine.

What do you want to do so much, if you have wine today, get drunk today!

It's just that the crows outside the window are calling so often today, it's like a funeral, disturbing people's drinking!

Qu Li's drunken eyes were hazy, looking at the waning moon outside the window, and fell asleep.
