Xu Shiji was stationed in Dingyuan City in Zhongli County, and after learning the news that Cui Jun led his troops into Jiangdu County and privately led troops to attack Qingliu City, his face changed greatly.

"How can this be reasonable, this Cui Jun dares to disobey the military order and use the army privately, what a boldness!" Xu Shiji patted the table, his face was pale, and he was angry.

Fang Yanzao, Wang Junyi, Wei Yijie and others also knew the ins and outs at this time, their faces were calm, and they felt disappointed and angry at Cui Jun's disobedience to military orders.

"General Xu, against the military strength, the lone army goes deep, this is to be greedy for merit and risk, and it must be dealt with by military law, otherwise, the army's heart will be difficult to peace." Fang Yanzao is not only in charge of military affairs, but also has the status of supervising the army, and is responsible for the implementation of the laws in the army.

Wei Yijie said angrily: "This Cui Jun, relying on the fact that he once met His Majesty earlier, has fought in the south and the north, and has always been a little arrogant, he must be a meritorious person, and he wants to take this opportunity to obtain great military merits and obtain His Majesty's reward, which is too reckless." ”

Xu Shiji's face was grim, and he nodded and sighed: "If Cui Jun can successfully capture the city and replace it with merit, he can still save his life, if he is defeated in Jiangdu County, then the military law is ruthless, and no one can protect him, even if he was His Majesty's old general, he can not be an exception." ”

"General Xu, I'm a little worried, the Jianghuai army has not made a big move for a long time, this is not in line with common sense, this time Cui Jun led the army to attack Qingliu City, very aggressive, and do not understand the real situation of the enemy army, it is easy to be trapped, we must lead the troops to respond, we can't let this vanguard elite, there is a risk of destruction."

Xu Shiji heard this, pondered for a while, and felt that it made a lot of sense, he also felt that the later the Jianghuai army appeared, there must be a problem, what conspiracy was brewing, but he lacked experience in leading troops, and there was no better way, originally wanted to press the troops, brake quietly, wait and see for a while, and the scouts sent were all clear, find out the movements of the Jianghuai army, and fight in Jiangdu County.

Who would have thought that Cui Jun would take the lead in sending troops and ignore his military orders.

"General Ben first sent a group of cavalry of 100 people, holding the general's order and his own handwritten letter, and hurried to Cui Jun's camp, ordering him to withdraw his troops immediately!"

After Xu Shiji issued the first order, he paused for a moment and continued to order: "In addition, General Wang Jun, please personally bring 10,000 horses and horses into Jiangdu County to respond, once the vanguard army suffers a rout, you can rescue and bring back more elite men and horses." ”

"The last general understands!"

Xu Shiji showed a worried expression and said: "Scout battalion, step up the dispatch of scouts and patrol guards, increase the investigation of the movements of Jiangdu County and the Jianghuai Army, I want to know as soon as possible, where Du Fuwei and several fierce generals under his command are, I don't know his confidant, how can I pacify Jiangdu County?" ”

.........

Outside Qingliu City, a tragic offensive and defensive battle is being staged.

The Jianghuai army resisted to the death, rolling wood, stones, fire oil, and bows and arrows to build an impregnable defensive line, while the Dahua elite vanguard army was like a tide surging out, constantly storming the city frantically.

Two hours passed, whether it was in the city or under the city, there were the sounds of fighting, screams, weapons clashing, corpses everywhere, the blood was monstrous, and the tragedy was incomparable, adding a heavy and tragic to the battlefield.

The resistance of the defenders was beyond the imagination of Cui Jun and others, they thought that this was a local village warrior, lacking training and experience in big battles, they were all a rabble, and two hours of onslaught would break them up!

However, the expected result did not materialize, but caused heavy casualties on their side.

Since the attack began in Chenshi, by noon, thousands of people had been killed and wounded, Cui Jun had to follow the advice of the general, ordered the withdrawal of the army, temporarily renovated, and then replaced the new 10,000-strong team to attack again.

"The general defending the city, have you figured out who it is?" Cui Jun asked a lieutenant who had retired from the front.

Captain Zhao Chang arched his hand and said: "Back to the general, we caught a few enemy wounded soldiers, brought back for torture, the general who defended the city is Ximen Junyi, is one of the tiger generals under Du Fuwei's account, very famous, his mother-in-law Wang, it is said that there is also the Iron Lady, this army arrived half a month ago, strengthen the defense of Qingliu City, there are currently more than 40,000 people in the city, food and grass are sufficient, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

Cui Jun showed hesitation, and actually encountered the ruthless stubble of the Jianghuai army, this battle is not easy to fight.

However, it was difficult for him to ride a tiger at this time, and he disobeyed the military order without permission and entered Jiangdu County.

If he overcomes, his merits will overshadow his mistakes, and he can still justify himself, such as finding that Qingliu City is idle, and he will immediately make a decision to seize the city.

"After eating, continue the siege in the afternoon and use black powder!"

"Order!" The soldiers responded with their fists clenched.

.........

On the Qingliu city wall, Ximen Junyi and his wife were also patrolling the city, pacifying the defenders, inspecting the fortifications, and listening to reports on casualties.

After hearing the casualty figures, Ximen Junyi heard the casualties, close to three thousand, and still sighed: "Since ancient times, occupying the city on the geographical side, the casualties will only be in the besieging side of the thirty percent, killing a thousand enemies, self-loss of three hundred, this is the geographical advantage, but this Dahua soldiers and horses rely on the advantage of bows and crossbows, as well as the well-armored and sharp weapons, well-trained, fierce and brave, even so that our casualties are more than half, if you fight in the field, without the advantage of the city, the Jianghuai army is still not as strong as the Dahua soldiers." ”

Wang Shulan thought so, agreed with her husband's point of view, and said: "This is true, the northern soldiers are tall and burly, half a head taller than the Jiangnan soldiers, and there are more wars in the north, and the quality and training of the soldiers are also stronger than the Jianghuai army, plus they are well-armed, and there are many cavalry, and they go out of the city to fight, and they are not the director of the Jianghuai army, so always remind General Du that in the future, do not do a frontal field battle with the Dahua regular army!" ”

Ximen Junyi nodded, and said with a slight smile: "The Jianghuai Army, who is even better at the water division, is in the Huaishui and along the Yangtze River, there is our water division that has not moved, and at a critical time, it will give the Dahua army a painful lesson!" ”

This couple is talking about war and military affairs, but they are very compatible, and they look like husbands and wives singing with their wives.

At this moment, the drums outside the city sounded intensively, the trumpets sounded for a long time, and the Dahua army was about to attack the city again.

"Hold on until sunset tomorrow, Brother Wang Xian will be able to lead his troops to the rear of this enemy army, cut off the way, and when the time comes, the front and rear attacks, the remaining forces outside the city will definitely be wiped out here." Ximen Junyi smiled confidently, and had already regarded the Hua Dynasty army outside the city as a turtle in an urn.
