Lin Feng, who was on the top of the city, smiled brightly. He waved to Yuan Shao and shouted: "Brother Benchu, I have prepared fine wine in the city. I wonder if I have the guts to enter the city and get drunk with Feng."
At this moment, a scouting horse came quickly to report that there were ambushes on all four walls of Qinghe. The total number of troops would not be less than 40,000.
Now even the most confident Xu You didn't dare to speak casually anymore, he lowered his head and muttered to himself.
This situation was mainly caused by the fact that Bao Juntian was indeed perverted. In the eyes of others, it was impossible to recruit tens of thousands of troops within two days.
Yuan Shao raised his head and responded to Lin Feng: "It's so easy to meet Zhirou in Qinghe. I originally wanted to have a good time over the wine and not go back until I get drunk. However, I recently felt cold and felt a little unwell. I can't drink. I will wait for a few days to recover and come back when I feel better."
Nagging."
After saying this, Yuan Shao ordered his troops to return to the camp, and at the same time arranged for careful preparations to be made to sneak into Qinghe, making sure to find out what was true in the city.
Shen Pei suggested on the side: "My lord, the actual situation of Qinghe River is currently unknown. If we send a partial division to carry out a strong attack, even if we are defeated, our army will have peace of mind."
His meaning was very clear. Since it was not possible to send out the entire army, it was better to use a small group of troops to conduct a tentative attack. Even if all were killed under the city, the losses would not be great.
Yuan Shao pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly and said: "No, Lin Zhirou led the army in battle at a young age. He has conquered the world for several years and has never been defeated. It is better not to underestimate him."
After saying that, he set off on horseback, and immediately the army moved together. The front army turned into the rear army, and the rear army turned into the front army. They retreated to the camp ten miles away under tight security.
Lin Feng looked at the slowly retreating Bohai army from the top of the city and laughed wildly in the sky. Then the Bao family army who was originally trembling on the city wall was greatly boosted in morale. Following Lin Feng's manic laughter, he raised his arms and shouted for victory.
Suddenly, the situation in Qinghe City changed, and the sound shook the sky. Yuan Shao from far away sighed: "To Rouguo, I am a great man."
Xu You secretly gritted his teeth in resentment. He originally thought that Qinghe City could be easily obtained, but he unexpectedly failed in the first battle. Could it be that Lin Feng's magic trick could lead to an army?
Not to mention that Yuan Shao outside Qinghe City was in a dilemma, Xi Zhicai outside Julu City also had a sad look on his face, pulling his hair and gritting his teeth secretly.
It turns out that when I go to war with my lord, I always feel that all the heroes in the world are mediocre.
As long as the battle plan is set and the battle is left to the lord, how many days will it take to capture the city, the lord will only advance the time and defeat the enemy army when needed. The lord will never let him down.
This was the first time that Xi Zhicai led an army alone in a battle. Only then did he realize that no matter how perfect the battle plan was, it was only on paper. The real battlefield was not a simple battle between the generals and the strength of the two sides.
There were so many accidents that could happen at any time, so much so that Xi Zhicai began to wonder if his own battle plan had been stolen by Qu Yi. Otherwise, why would everything go wrong and hit a wall everywhere?
Thinking that the battle of the city gate could be won in one hour, he fought for three and a half hours. It was not because the generals in the army did not work hard. In order to capture the city gate, Pei Yuanshao personally charged in armor and was hit three times.
Arrow is still shouting for a fierce battle.
It was the first time that Xi Zhicai saw such a tenacious enemy force. There was only a small team of less than a hundred people left at the city gate, but no one retreated. After breaking the swords and arrows, they used stones and teeth to attack like wild beasts.
The enemy dies together.
Thinking of his lord's instructions before the expedition, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Lin Feng warned Xi Zhicai that Qu Yi was an ordinary man with ordinary martial arts, but he was extremely proficient in military training. The soldiers under his command were unparalleled in bravery and should not be ignored.
At that time, Xi Zhicai only listened to it with his left ear, and then drifted out with his right ear, leaving it far behind his mind.
Qu Yi is just a martial artist. He knows what the five battlefield tactics are and what the ten commandments are.
Let's look at Xi Zhicai's first battle leading the army. While talking and laughing, the giant deer changed hands and Qu Yi bowed his head.
Who would have known that this reckless man, whom Xi Zhicai had no regard for at all, would give him a good teaching lesson during the tug-of-war to defend the city.
Only then did Xi Zhi clearly realize that in the past, he was able to defeat thousands of armies with just a wave of his hand, all because of the bravery of his lord Lin Feng.
It's not that enemies in the past didn't know how to resist at all levels, it's just that Lin Feng could easily break through the defense line and completely destroy the opponent's morale in the most bloody and brave way.
Now half of Julu City has fallen into the hands of the Pingyuan Army.
But Xi Zhicai still had no idea how long it would take to expel Qu Yi.
Time flies by. The longer the time goes by, the greater the possibility of Bohai coming to help, and the more serious the danger Qinghe faces.
Xi Zhicai didn't know how he would explain to Lin Feng, his friends, and his colleagues in Pingyuan if Julu City could not be defeated and Qinghe City was lost.
When I was feeling very depressed, there was a call from the soldiers outside the house, and Gao Shun, the leader of the trapped camp, asked to see him.
Among the Pingyuan Group, Gao Shun was probably the general with the least contacts.
Except for occasionally having a drink with Zhang Liao, Gao Shun was taciturn on weekdays and stayed in the military camp for food and accommodation. It seemed that he had no other duties except accompanying the trapped camp for training.
Many newly joined generals, during the first ten days and a half, had no idea that there was Gao Shun in the plain sequence.
In this battle of Julu, although the trapped camp also followed, Xi Zhicai didn't care too much.
Even though Lin Feng repeatedly stated that the trapped camp was extremely powerful, Xi Zhicai did not think that a mere thousand troops could change the outcome of the battle.
War is fought based on numbers. Unless you are fighting a ragtag group like the Yellow Turban Army, hundreds of elite soldiers are really unable to have an impact on a battle involving tens of thousands of troops.
When Gao Shun entered the room, he just bowed his hand to Xi Zhicai and said, "I've seen you, sir."
Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "I wonder why General Gao is here?"
"Sir, before leaving, my lord once gave Shun a secret letter, specifically telling him that if the battle of Julu falls into a stalemate, he will submit this letter to sir."
Xi Zhicai took over Gao Shun
I couldn't help but be surprised when I received the letter.
Lin Feng had played this kind of trick before. Liao Hua and Huang Zhong had both received so-called tips and tricks. Unexpectedly, Lin Feng actually sent Xi Zhicai a letter this time.
Opening the envelope, there was only a thin piece of letter paper inside. There were only fourteen characters on the paper, but it made Xi Zhicai snap at the case and exclaim repeatedly.
"To shoot a man, shoot a horse first; to capture a thief, capture the king first; to capture Qu Yi in formation."
Xi Zhicai felt that his hair had turned gray in the past few days, and many things were the result of the authorities' confusion.
Being dragged into the Julu street fight by Qu Yi, Xi Zhicai's thoughts temporarily froze, and he just thought about taking down alleys one by one, and capturing one courtyard after another.
Now that Lin Feng reminded him, Xi Zhi realized why the resistance in Julu City was so tenacious. It was because of the existence of Qu Yi.
If Qu Yi can be provoked to come out to fight, and Zhang Laosan is in hand, it may be difficult to capture him alive. After all, Zhang Laosan's head is not clear, but it is not difficult to kill him on the spot. Zhang Laosan said that the task level is too low.
Can't arouse the interest in fighting.
Taking Gao Shun with him, Xi Zhicai hurriedly rode towards the battlefield in the city.
Julu City is now full of killings, blood is flowing, and the territories controlled by both sides are intertwined. Without a senior general by his side, Zhicai's small body will end up being attacked and cut in two in a matter of minutes.
After several twists and turns, Xu Rong, the old general, was beaten. After several days of fighting, Xu Rong's gray beard was dyed red with blood.
"Mr. Xi, why did you enter the city? The city is still very dangerous at the moment. You'd better stay outside the city. But don't worry, Julu City won't be able to hold on for long. Now Wu Shao has led his army to capture the prefect's mansion. Qu Yi led his army to conquer the city.
The main force retreated into the northern area of the city, just hanging on for a breath."
Xu Rong's words made Xi Zhicai straighten his back. Well, it turns out that the battle situation in the city has made new progress.
"When did Yuan Shao capture the Prefect's Mansion? I still don't know."
Xu Rongle was happy.
"It's really Yuan Shao's good fortune. His great achievements fell from the sky and fell on him in vain."
Xu Rong first sighed a few words about Pei Yuanshao's great luck, and then introduced Xi Zhicai to a battle that happened not long ago.
After struggling for several days, Qu Yi seemed to understand that if he continued to fight like this, he would have a high chance of defeating Julu.
On the other hand, he didn't know if Yuan Shao would send reinforcements. Although he had Yuan Shao's eldest son in his hand, he heard that Yuan Shao actually didn't like Yuan Tan.
In order to reverse the unfavorable battle situation in the city, Qu Yi suddenly took the risk and launched a counterattack against the Pingyuan Army.
This counterattack came so suddenly that even Xu Rong, who was experienced in the battlefield, not to mention Pei Yuanshao, did not expect that several streets were lost one after another due to Qu Yi's sudden counterattack.
This time was supposed to be a successful defensive counterattack that changed the smooth offensive of the Pingyuan Army, but because Qu Yi reached a negative luck value, it turned into a triumphant advance for Pei Yuanshao.
