When Jiangning was having difficulty deciding who to send to Dengzhou to supervise the war, Chen Zhihu sent his deputy general Gao Yi to lead more than 10,000 people to attack Qingzhou.

Gao Yi fought Qingzhou, imitated Chen Zhihu's tactics of attacking Linzi, directly pressed the army, surrounded three queyi, left a way for the defenders in Qingzhou City, and disintegrated their fighting spirit, so as not to break the net with their dead hearts.

Thousands of people were captured from the four towns and eight pavilions, and the soil was carried with carts and cloth bags, and in just one day's work, seven or eight siege passages were filled out on the moat that was more than ten zhang wide. Gao Yi drove more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, divided them from three sides, attached the city with cloud ladders, and stormed Qingzhou, as if he didn't want to delay for a moment.

Chen Zhihu attacked Linzi, Linzi was unprepared, Zhang Jinxian only had more than 1,000 miscellaneous soldiers in Linzi at that time, and he was caught off guard. Therefore, Chen Zhihu pressed more than 10,000 elites, fought fast, and captured Linzi in three days.

After the loss of Linzi, Du Juefu reacted very quickly, that is, he abandoned the cities of Shouguang, Changyi, and Guangrao in the north, and concentrated his troops in Qingzhou City. Although the defenders in Qingzhou City were chaotic, it was inevitable to panic when the soldiers pressed the border, but the total number was still as high as four thousand.

It was none other than Yang Shi who assisted Du Jue in guarding Qingzhou City.

Yang Shi is the son of the Gu family, and his father Yang Pu is deeply trusted by Gu Wuchen and Gu Siyuan's father and son. When Gu Wuchen and Gu Sichen led the main force of the Qingzhou Army to Yangxin, although the soldiers and horses left in Qingzhou were limited, only two battalions of soldiers, but Yang Shi could be said to be one of the few generals in the Qingzhou Army who could give Gu family trust and ability, so they were arranged to stay in the base camp of Qingzhou.

In addition, Du Jue assisted in guarding Qingzhou City, as well as Cheng Weiyuan of Guangrao Zhi County.

Cheng Weiyuan crowded Gu Wuchen, Gu Siyuan and his son from Yangxin to Guangrao Renzhi County, and some old soldiers in Yangxin went to Guangrao with him, and on this basis, Guangrao soldiers were formed. Although the number is less than 1,000, there are veterans who experienced the brutal war of Yangxin back then. The Guangrao soldiers were still some distance away from the elite, but at least they didn't panic much when they saw the enemy pressing on, and there was also a law to defend the city.

Sometimes, what you've experienced is not the same as what you've not experienced.

Du Juefu has a good demeanor on weekdays, and it is difficult to eliminate the panic in his eyes at this time. Cheng Weiyuan had been holding on to Yangxin City for several months, and there would be 10,000 corpses of Hu Lu and his rebels piled under Yangxin City.

What's more, Wu Qi was in Qingzhou City at this time.

Qingzhou and Huaidong broke off, and the people of Qingzhou were very hostile to Huaidong, but at that time, the main force of the Qingzhou army had not been besieged in Yangxin City.

At this time, Linzi was lost, the situation in Qingzhou collapsed, even if Du Juefu and others had the backbone, they would not drive out Wu Qibang, who came directly to Qingzhou to contact, not to mention that Cheng Weiyuan and Yang Shi also had a sense of closeness to Huaidong. In fact, Du Juefu himself also wanted to evacuate his clan relatives to Huaidong for refuge first.

Qingzhou City has Yang Shi, Cheng Weiyuan, and Wu Qi in the city, the defenders in the city have sufficient troops, and there was a buffer of a few days before, so the defenders have made some preparations, and Gao Yi's simple and crude tactics naturally don't work.

Gao Yi's strong attack for a day was fruitless, and he was about to withdraw his troops at dusk and retreat slightly, and wait for tomorrow to attack the city, Yang Shi personally led six hundred soldiers to attack from the north gate, and smashed Gao Yi's main general Gao Qi.

Yang Shi saw that the enemy general was contemptuous, the tactics were simple, and there were a number of soldiers and horses who led the siege, so he naturally had to seize the opportunity to counterattack. Otherwise, when the enemy army attacked the city for several days without success, they honestly transferred the main army and surrounded them with water mills, and they would be miserable if they were trapped in the city.

When Yang Shi led his troops to attack suddenly from the north gate, Gao Yi's troops were scattered on three sides of Qingzhou City, and when the siege force was exhausted and the formation was scattered, Yang Shi led his troops to collapse immediately, and there was almost no decent offensive organization, and the main general's battle flag was cut down by the Qingzhou defenders who raided out of the city.

Although the enemy still had more than 10,000 people, they fled in panic like a huge body with a head cut off and a fly without a head.

Yang Shi took advantage of the victory to pursue, and Du Juefu also decisively sent additional troops and horses outside the city, chasing and killing the soldiers all over the mountains......

In one battle, nearly 3,000 soldiers were captured, and countless armors were captured, which was the only victory won by the Qingzhou army since Chen Zhihu led his troops into Qingzhou and attacked Leling, and it can definitely be called a great victory.

Although this battle was not a direct defeat of Chen Zhihu himself, Gao Yi has been regarded as Chen Zhihu's shadow for more than ten years, and the soldiers and horses he led to attack Qingzhou City were Chen Zhihu slaughtering the battlefield and pardoning the elite of the famous Tiger Army's forward battalion.

Since the war in Eastern Fujian, the forward battalion of the Tiger Army has almost never tasted defeat, and it is also an elite soldier who once thought that it could compete with the elite of the Huaidong Army.

In this battle, more than 10,000 elites of Chen Zhihu's troops were killed, and the deputy general Gao Yi fled back to Linzi with serious injuries, and Chen Zhihu only dared to lead the remnants to defend Linzi.

If this is not a big victory, Du Juefu doesn't know what it takes to be a big victory.

Wu Qi is a ruthless-eyed veteran, although he feels that Gao Yi has been wronged and strangely defeated, and feels that the great victory in front of him is strange, but the great victory is real, and he is not cheating at all, and he can't help but believe it. After all, the battlefield is full of accidents, and it is not impossible for Chen Zhihu and Gao Yi to attack the enemy rashly.

Thinking about the past and present, how many generals in their heyday will not feel the defeat of Chen Zhihu and Gao Yi just because they are defeated by a weak enemy, and how many are unimaginable.

The military and civilians in Qingzhou were excited for a while, Du Juefu walked all over the heavens and the earth, from the previous panic and uneasiness, and instantly fell into the ecstasy of winning a great victory, and immediately divided the troops to take Shouguang and Changyi, and Chuanjie rode out of Qingzhou City quickly and galloped to the four directions.

Hell and heaven have always been separated by a thin line, and the mood in hell and the mood in heaven have changed so quickly, and with it, the judgment of the war and the situation has been completely overturned.

The people who stayed in Qingzhou City, not only Du Juefu, but also Cheng Weiyuan and Yang Shi, were no longer pessimistic and lost, and they no longer thought that the situation in Qingzhou was irretrievable, and even felt that as long as they could win such a battle again, the situation in Qingzhou would be reversed.

It's no wonder that Du Juefu thinks so, Chen Zhihu has always had prestige and notoriety, even if he demoted Yanhu, his image of an invincible brave general on the battlefield is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people - in Du Juefu's view, the battle of Qingzhou has already disabled Chen Zhihu; With one more victory, it can completely wipe out the enemy forces that have entered the hinterland of Qingzhou, and then threaten the main force of the captives besieging Yangxin.

The number of enemies annihilated is still secondary, the key is that this battle has boosted morale, as long as Chen Zhihu can be driven from Linzi City, the Dengzhou army and the Liang family's soldiers and horses can gather in the middle of the road, and the main force of the captives besieging Yangxin, in addition to withdrawing, is there a second option?

On the one hand, Du Juefu sent fast horses to Dengzhou and Jinan to ask for reinforcements, and on the other hand, he hoped that Wu Qi could gather the manpower scattered in Huaidong between Yishan to form a combat force and form a frontal battlefield.

Guerrilla tactics pay attention to "the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase", Qingzhou won the victory, and Chen Zhihu's elite was disabled, and it was also the time to chase and fight - Wu Qi did not delay, while sending people to Huaidong to report the details of this victory, and on the other hand, he personally rushed back to Baqi Mountain, found Chu Zheng to gather troops, and went out of the mountain to fight jointly with the defenders of Qingzhou.

Huaidong, who entered Yishan with Wu Qi and Chu Zheng, had more than 500 people, who were used to absorb the original cottage and horse thief forces, and in less than two months, the development force had reached nearly 3,000 people. The most important thing is that these soldiers and horses are scattered between the Yishan Mountains, and it takes a while to gather them, not a few days.

However, in any case, Qingzhou's victory has stimulated the nerves of the military, civilian, and official history in the eastern part of the Shandong Peninsula, and the situation has indeed developed in a good direction in a short period of time.

*****************

The good news of Qingzhou reached Jiangning, and Jiangning had not yet decided who to send to Dengzhou to supervise the war.

Emperor Yongxing summoned the ministers and important ministers in the Chongwen Hall to discuss matters, and in the face of the good news from Qingzhou, everyone was happy and surprised.

Xie Chaozhong laughed and said, "I said that Huaidonghou was a fool, let's see, what I said!" With a smug face, his eyes were thrown to Lin Xuwen.

Lin Xuwen was speechless, Qingzhou naturally would not deceive the court with a fake victory, the situation in Qingzhou took a turn for the better, it can only be said that Lin Tie made a mistake in judgment on this matter, Xie Chaozhong's villain was disgusted by him, and he could only excuse Huaidong in front of Emperor Yongxing, saying: "Huaidong Marquis is also a ...... for the imperial court."

"I understand this, there is no need for Lin Aiqing to say more," Emperor Yongxing impatiently interrupted Lin Xuwen, Lin Xuwen and Huaidong wore a pair of pants, he naturally knew in his heart, but it was the Qingzhou Army that won the battle, if it was the Changhuai Army, he would not need to give Lin Xuwen and Huaidong a good look, and asked Chen Xiyan, "Chen Qing's family, according to what you see, do you want to send someone to Dengzhou to supervise the battle at this time?" ”

No one was willing to go to Dengzhou to supervise the war before, after all, Dengzhou was a dangerous place; There's no way to get stuck there, who wants to run over without anything? At this time, the situation in Qingzhou has changed greatly, and he went to Dengzhou to supervise the battle, not only is there no danger, maybe there are still achievements to be gained, and naturally everyone is willing.

It's just that he sent people to Dengzhou to supervise the battle before, because he was afraid that Liu Ye would be unstable and that the Dengzhou Sailor would be in danger of falling into the hands of the enemy; At this time, the situation in Qingzhou has changed greatly, and Dengzhou is naturally no longer a threat.

At this time, didn't you deliberately block Liu Yefei's heart when he sent someone over?

Chen Xiyan said: "There is no need to send someone to ...... At this time, he ordered Lu Guogong and Liu Yefei, the prefect of Dengzhou, to immediately send troops into Qingzhou and join forces to fight, in order to expand the results of the battle and relieve the siege of Yangxin as soon as possible. "I'm afraid that no one will pay attention to the order before, but at this time, entering Qingzhou can share the results, presumably the Liang family and Dengzhou Town will be more active.

Yue Lengqiu said: "Weichen thinks it's inappropriate, the armies should guard their places, clear the walls, wait for the enemy to retreat on their own, and should not rush into battle......"

Yue Lengqiu's words at this time were quite abrupt, and even Emperor Yongxing asked suspiciously: "Shouldn't you take advantage of the victory to pursue?" ”

"In addition to the troops and horses led by Lu Guogong, the main force of the Qingzhou Army is trapped in Yangxin, Qingzhou and Dengzhou only have miscellaneous scattered soldiers who can be mobilized, it is easy to defend the city, and the field battle is difficult, and they rush to war, for fear that this victory will be lost," Yue Lengqiu said, "In addition, the governor of Liu is long in political affairs and clumsy in military affairs; Dengzhou does not accept the enemy, and Liu Yefei is a suitable candidate for the prefect; At this time, Dengzhou received the enemy, and Weichen recommended Liu Tingzhou, the commander of the Huaixi Army and the imperial history of Zuo Yudu, to Dengzhou to replace Liu Yefei! ”

Yue Lengqiu felt that Qingzhou Yijie was a little strange, and even felt that Liu Yefei's continued stay in Dengzhou was a poison for him who didn't know when it would attack. Therefore, he did not agree with the soldiers and horses of Dengzhou Town to take the initiative to attack, and second, he suggested that Liu Yefei should be withdrawn.
