The northern defense line of Dingzhou is supported by Fengqiu City as the rear, forming a defensive system connected by walled forts in the Dingfeng Road, and there are mountains and rivers on the east and west sides, so the Daqi border army only needs to deal with the enemy in the north of the Dingfeng Road.

After the outbreak of the war, the Jing army drove the Yan army to launch many attacks on these fortified forts, but no effective progress was made, and even now not a single Great Qi army fortress has been captured.

As time passed, the offensive of the Yanjing coalition army gradually became calmer, and the Jing army began to open up battlefields in other places.

The Feiyun Army, which was stationed in the Dingfeng Road, did not dare to relax its carelessness.

Song Shifei's festival hall is located in Swallow Fort, which is only about fifteen miles away from the front-line military village, which is also his consistent style of leading troops.

If it weren't for Lu Shen's repeated advice, he would even be stationed at the forefront of the position to boost the morale of the army.

Early in the morning, Song Shifei practiced a set of knife techniques as usual, rinsed with cold water, and just put on his clothes when a scout came to report.

"Kill!"

The killing was like a tide.

Jiuqu Village.

The scout hurriedly responded, and said: "Captain Lin asked his subordinates to report to the general, the enemy who appeared outside the village today should not be the Yan army, but the main force of the Jing army's foot soldiers." ”

Song Shifei got dressed unhurriedly, he had heard this kind of information many times, and the enemy army could only retreat in the end every time.

This was the root cause of Jingjun's turn to Jingzhou to launch an offensive on the premise that it was difficult to break through the two major gateways of Dingzhou.

"Captain, the west is almost unguardable!"

Especially in the battle to destroy Zhao last year, which lasted for nearly a year, the main force of the Jing army has been tempered countless times, and has long been familiar with the process and details of the siege battle.

In this way, there will be a large gap between the cities, which gives the Jingjun cavalry the opportunity to penetrate deep into the interior of Jingzhou.

Not far away, a rugged-looking and meaty military general responded: "The last general!" ”

Jiuquzhai is located at the southern exit of the Dingfeng Road, guarding the only choke point for the enemy to move south, and is at the forefront of the overall defense line of the Feiyun Army. There are 3,000 elite soldiers stationed in the village, countless grains, grasses and equipment, and they can be supported by other departments of the Feiyun Army at any time.

Destroying the bones was still looking at the city wall of Jiuquzhai in the distance, after nearly two hours of repeated pressure, the defenders were already approaching a very dangerous critical point, this was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

On the city wall nearly a mile wide, these fierce beast-like Jinglian people went forward one after another, continuously attacking the defense line of the Feiyun Army.

Lin Shicheng had already sent someone to the rear again to ask for help half an hour ago, and he already had a trace of realization in his heart that it was very likely that he would not be able to hold Jiuqu Village today.

"General Yu, the enemy army has invaded Jiuqu Village again today!"

If you are delicate and proficient in the art of war, Song Shifei is indeed inferior to Pei Di and Duan Zuozhang and others, not to mention Chen Lanyu, who is now a close minister of the Son of Heaven, but he personally goes into battle every time he fights, and develops an almost instinctive intuition in the fight, just like a beast naturally has a certain premonition ability to unknown dangers.

The scout said, "General Yu, this is Captain Lin's judgment. ”

Hearing these five words, a hideous and terrifying smile appeared on Sakhalin's face, and he saluted: "The last general will take orders!" ”

At the same time that the various units of the Dingzhou Army were pocketing in the Southwest Leize Plain, the main force of the Jing Army, which had not moved before, appeared on the Dingfeng Road.

Immediately, he saw that the front of the Jing army's position gave way to a passage about five or six zhang wide, and Sakhalin rushed to the front, followed by thousands of ironclad warriors.

"Sakhalin!"

At this moment, the guard general Lin Shicheng was also standing on the city wall, fighting side by side with the soldiers under his command.

Lin Shicheng turned his head to look, only to see that his blood-stained robe and face were covered with blood, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Send the reserve battalion over and tell them that they are in the city!" ”

Judging from the overall situation on the current Dingzhou border, Jing Jun may not want to cause too many casualties at the beginning.

Looking down from above, I saw that the two armies of Jingqi took the city wall as the focus of contention, both sides had long-distance arrows flying sideways, and there were also white-knuckle fights close to the back, the soldiers of the Jinglian clan were like thousands of ants climbing up the city wall, some people were killed and fell, and the soldiers behind still rushed up without hesitation.

It's just that Qing Yugong seems unwilling to give up the territory of Dingzhou, so after gaining a certain advantage in the face of the Jingzhou army on the southern front, he opened up a battlefield with a big wave.

This is the elite tiger at the bottom of the box in the hands of the bone-destroying land, and in last year's battle to destroy Zhao, each of these ironclad soldiers won at least twenty heads.

There is no big problem with this decision, after all, it has been agreed by Xiao Wangzhi, but it means that the Feiyun Army and the Lai'an Army have no backup in a short period of time.

Song Shifei put on his armor in a moment and walked out with a solemn expression.

He looked up to the north and secretly hoped that things were not what he thought.

"It's your turn."

The loud sound of the horn resounded between the heavens and the earth, and more than a thousand ironclad soldiers rushed forward, like a group of fierce beasts shaking the earth, rushing to the front of Jiuqu Village under the leadership of Sakhalin, and launching a crazy attack on the soldiers of the Feiyun Army!

Song Shifei said decisively: "Order the generals to immediately lead the troops to Jiuqu Village!" ”

Song Shifei said to the scout again: "You immediately return to Jiuqu Village and tell Lin Shicheng that before the main force arrives, he must hold the village no matter what!" ”

When he heard the scout's report, Song Shifei subconsciously thought that this was the Yan army in the north acting as usual.

The soldiers around Lin Shicheng kept falling, and there were more and more Jingjun ironclad soldiers who climbed the city wall.

The 20,000 Jing army set out from Teng County, entered the Leize Plain, and approached the heart of Dingzhou.

"Obey!"

Song Shifei believes that Lin Shicheng's judgment will not be wrong, the problem is that the timing of the main force of Jingjun is too coincidental.

"Obey!" The lieutenant turned and sprinted away.

The bone-destroying voice suddenly sounded.

A close lieutenant roared loudly.

Song Shifei had received a top-secret order from Li Jingda, he wanted to gather troops to eat this enemy army, but he would not use the Feiyun army and the Lai'an army, these two troops and horses would still be stationed in Dingfeng Road and Qingliu Pass.

Although they always maintained the posture of a large army pressing the territory in Dingfeng Road on the northern front and Qingliuguan on the western front, the intensity of the battle was low, and most of the soldiers in charge of the attack were Yan troops, while the Jing army pressed and supervised the battle in the rear.

The Jing army's offensive was wave after wave, as if it would never stop, like a surging wave constantly beating the defense of Jiuqu Village.

Until the scout said the words "the main force of the Jing army".

The soldiers of the Feiyun Army relied on the support of the walled wall and used all means that could cause casualties to block the progress of the Jing army.

After tidying up the army a little, Song Shifei said calmly: "Tell Lin Shicheng, don't underestimate the enemy, let alone take the initiative to attack, I just want Jiuquzhai to be as stable as a mountain." ”

However, unlike the Yan army they had dealt with before, the Jing army in front of them not only had strong strength, but also high morale and an extremely fierce temperament.

If the fixed air channel is lost, the consequences are unimaginable!

In a word, before the Great Qi Border Army launched the Northern Expedition, the Jingzhou Army only needed to defend the narrow strip of land on the north bank of the Hengjiang River with Pingyang City as the core, and the forces could be concentrated together. Now that the area they defend has expanded more than tenfold, but the number of troops has not increased much, they naturally cannot take into account the overall situation, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions and flaws.

Hundreds of zhang away in the north of Jiuqu Village, a military general of the Jing Army stood on the lookout car, staring at the battle situation on the city wall in front of him with a cold gaze.

Several soldiers immediately walked into the hall.

……

The city wall, which is only a little more than a foot high, is not an insurmountable moat for the Jinglian people, and their equipment and equipment are not weak. In the past ten years, the Jing Dynasty has gradually explored a complete set of siege methods, and is no longer the army that can only fight in the field but sighs at the beginning.

The main commander of the defenders is Lin Shicheng, the commander of the regiment, who is a confidant general brought out by Song Shifei, who has always dared to fight, is good at fighting and is thoughtful, and has high hopes for Song Shifei.

It's not that the soldiers of the Feiyun Army are afraid of battle, let alone how big the gap is between them and the Jing Army, but that the opponent's attack today can be described at any cost!

In the nearly two hours of fighting, the Jing army relied on the superiority of troops, constantly rotating the soldiers, and always maintained an extremely ferocious offensive.

He is called the Bone Destroying Land, the Qingyu tribe, and is now one of the seven great auspicious hidden men of the Xiashan Army, with more than 16,000 male soldiers under his command, and is responsible for leading the troops to attack Jiuqu Village today.

From the beginning, he noticed that today's enemy was different, so he immediately sent someone to inform Song Shifei, but when the battle began, he was shocked to realize that he still underestimated the enemy.

In comparison, the situation of the Jingzhou army was more difficult, because the northern line of Jingzhou bordered the Moyang Road of Yanguo, and the battle line was more than hundreds of miles long, and this line was forcibly drawn from the middle of the original Moyang Road.

Song Shifei's movements in his hands stopped, turned his head to look at the scout, and frowned slightly: "The main force of the Jing army? ”

The pro-soldiers responded in unison.

Lin Shicheng raised his eyes to look at the Jing Jun under the city, who seemed to be boundless and able to fill the entire Dingfeng Dao, and a touch of sadness appeared in his eyes.

After a short period of contemplation, Song Shifei suddenly shouted: "Someone! ”

Song Shifei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Lin Shicheng waved his spear, trying his best to penetrate a Jing army who rushed in front of him through his chest, and the next moment a whistling wind came to him, and he immediately pulled out his spear and kicked back.

The Feiyun Army has 12,000 regular soldiers, 5,000 standing auxiliaries, and more than 7,000 people responsible for transporting grain and grass and repairing and reinforcing the walled forts.

Their casualties were superior to those of the Feiyun Army, but the defense of Jiuquzhai was already in jeopardy.

The scout took the order and left, he was a little dazed in his heart, he didn't understand why the commander was so nervous, and he actually wanted to send all the troops that could be used to Jiuqu Village, could it be that the strength of the main force of the Jing army was so strong?

The Sakhalin long knife slashed through the air without hesitation, and the burly body like a mountain strode forward, and sneered: "Die! ”

The long knife is slashed again!
