Chapter 1011 Passing arrow books to each other (supplement)

Although the current Xuzhou City is besieged, it has not been completely besieged.

Up to now, all the defensive pressure has basically come from one side.

Because until now, the direct purpose of the Qi army... or General Tu is to drive the Huai'an army out of Xuzhou, not to trap the Huai'an army in Xuzhou.

Because the difficulty of the latter is really too great.

In this case, apart from the fact that Xuzhou City is unlikely to break through from the front, the difficulty of breaking out from the other three directions is not particularly high.

On the third day after Shen Yi talked with Xue Wei, the people of Qi once again stormed Xuzhou City from the east gate.

Su Ding, the main general of the East Road, personally sits at the gate of the East City and directs the battle in the East City.

However, Shen Yi himself was not at the east gate, where the battle was most intense, but in the west.

At this time, there were also Qi people attacking the city from the west, but they were just pretending to prevent the Huai'an army in the city from fully gathering their forces at the east gate.

Standing on the tower, Shen Yi looked at the Qi army in the distance, looked back at Xue Wei, and said slowly: "People from the scout battalion reported that there are only about 5000 people in the Qi army outside the west gate."

"The strength of the troops seems to be that it is unlikely that they will surround you."

"After you break out of the siege, turn south and head straight for Suqian."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused, and said: "At this time, my warrant has arrived at the Huaihe Navy for several days. Not surprisingly, the Huaihe Navy has already started to cross the river. When you arrive in Suqian, the Huaihe Navy will also be there Almost there."

Speaking of this, Master Shen took out a document from his arms, handed it to Xue Wei, and said: "This is my warrant. With this, you can control the Huaihe Navy."

At this point, he paused, and continued: "If you don't find the Huaihe Navy after you arrive in Suqian, then don't attack Suqian, just continue south, then go east, and join the Forbidden Army who are about to cross the river."

Xue Wei took the document with both hands, lowered his head and said: "Your subordinate obeys!"

Shen Yi turned back and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The battle in Huaibei, the key to breaking the game is not in Xuzhou, but in you and the two guerrilla troops of the forbidden army. Whether they can fight well or not."

Speaking of this, Master Shen squinted his eyes and said softly: "As long as you fight well, when the time comes, we can immediately switch from defense to offense and really start to regain lost ground."

Although the current Huai'an army is said to have started the Northern Expedition, the gap in strength between the two sides is still too large. As a result, even if Shen Yi took Xuzhou, he still held on in Xuzhou and never really recovered Xuzhou.

The so-called recovery of Xuzhou is to drive out all the Qi people in the entire Xuzhou Prefecture, and let Da Chen's officials enter Xuzhou, register as householders, and truly rule this place.

But now Shen Yi can only say that he has occupied Xuzhou City, but not Xuzhou Mansion.

As for the "timing" in Shen Yi's mouth, it naturally refers to the death of the Northern Qi emperor.

Once the Northern Qi Emperor died, not to mention whether it would directly affect the battle situation in Huaibei, at least Yandu must be in chaos for a while. At that time, Shen Yi can start to recover the lost ground.

Ideally, the two provinces of Shandong and Henan would be recovered in one fell swoop...

If the fight is not ideal, then it is acceptable to play half of Shandong.

Xue Wei bowed his head respectfully, and said: "The last general will definitely live up to Duke Shen's high expectations!"

He looked up at the sky, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Shen, the brothers below are all ready, the last general will go now!"

"I will send people from the Di Bao Division to follow you and provide you with information at any time."

Shen Yi looked at Xue Wei, and said, "Remember, you have only one mission to go south this time, and this mission is not to occupy Suqian, let alone control the Huaihe Navy!"

"It is to use all means to eliminate all the living forces of the people of Qi to the greatest extent!"

Shen Yi said in a deep voice: "Understood?"

The term vitality is no longer an uncommon word in the Huai'an army. After all, Master Shen often mentions it in meetings.

Xue Wei and others are already familiar with it.

He bowed his head respectfully and said: "The last general has orders!"

…………

Half an hour later, the west city gate of Xuzhou opened wide.

Under the cover of a rain of arrows, Xue Wei took the lead and rushed to the front, his face flushed, and charged towards the Qi army who was "feint attacking" outside the city.

General Xue shouted angrily: "Brothers, kill the enemy with a knife and make a contribution!"

The Qi army outside the city was also taken aback by the sudden rush of thousands of Huai'an troops.

And once thousands of people rushed out, it was hard to tell how many people there were. At a glance, it was almost endless, and soon there were all shouting.

"The Southerners are out of town!!"

Xue Wei was wearing iron armor, raised a knife in his hand, hacked to death a screaming Qi man, and then shouted angrily: "Kill the Hu thief! Kill the Hu thief!"

On the battlefield of Xichengmen, blood is flying!

The troops were almost equal, but Xue Wei brought out the relatively elite Huai'an army. Not long after the two sides came into contact, the Qi army was forced to retreat step by step by Xue Wei.

After fighting for an hour, Xue Wei's shoulder was slashed from the side. Fortunately, he was wearing shoulder armor, only sparks flew everywhere, and he was not injured.

At this time, Xue Wei had already been on the battlefield for a long time. Without any hesitation, he directly slammed across the body, leaning against an iron mountain, and knocked the Qi people away.

After killing this person, Xue Wei let out a long roar and shouted loudly.

"Concentrate and charge out!"

The generals of the Huai'an army already knew about the mission this time. After hearing Xue Wei's voice, they immediately began to concentrate their forces, highlighting the encirclement of the Qi people.

This is not difficult.

Because there are not many troops from the Qi people at the west gate, and when the troops are equal, the word "surround" is a joke.

Soon, Qianhu from Qiren discovered Xue Wei and others' intentions and began to shout loudly.

"The Southerners have broken through! The Southerners have broken through!"

This news was reported layer by layer among the Qi people.

It didn't take long before it reached the ears of Tu Yuan and Zhou Shizhong. These two generals were delighted to hear the words.

Without any hesitation, they immediately got on their horses, led the reinforcements, and rushed to the west gate.

At this moment, the west gate of Xuzhou has been closed.

Tu Yuan looked at the closed west city gate, but said nothing.

Zhou Shizhong called a general and inquired about the situation here. Soon, he returned to Tu Yuan, clasped his fists and said, "General Tu, Ximen fought for about two hours, and the Huai'an army broke through with about 6000 to [-] people." .”

Tu Yuan picked up the binoculars hanging around his neck and looked at the west gate of Xuzhou from a distance.

At this time, on the tower of the west city gate of Xuzhou, there was also a young man holding a binoculars and looking at him.

The coaches of the two sides, who have been fighting for more than a month but have never met, completed their first meeting under such circumstances.

Tu Yuan put down the binoculars, looked at Zhou Shizhong, and said slowly: "General Zhou, what do you think the Huai'an army is doing?"

Zhou Shizhong thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Probably there is not enough food and grass, and he wanted to try to break through. Later, seeing our reinforcements arrived, he gave up continuing to break through and closed the city gate..."

"The two of us came here and only brought one or two thousand people. What kind of reinforcements are they?"

After Tu Yuan said this, he looked up and saw the Shen flag still floating on the city wall of Xuzhou, and said slowly: "Shen Yi, probably still in the city."

He said in a deep voice: "Use a loud arrow to send a message to Shen Yi, telling him that my army will increase troops to Ximen tomorrow."

Tu Yuan was the top general of the Southern Conquest Army. After he spoke, a sharpshooter from the Southern Conquest Army pulled out the iron tire bow and shot a piece of cloth at the west city gate tower of Xuzhou.

At this moment, Shen Yiren was still on the tower, and the arrow was only a dozen steps away from him.

Soon, this piece of cloth was delivered to Shen Yi. There were not many words on the piece of cloth, but it was concise and straightforward.

"In order to prevent the southern thieves from fleeing, I will increase troops to the west gate tomorrow."

"Tuyuan."

Master Shen laughed dumbfounded, and casually threw the piece of cloth aside.

Tu Yuan's meaning was very clear, he gave Shen Yi one day to let the Huai'an army leave the city.

It's just that he is a general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, so he couldn't directly write it that way, so he changed it to a more euphemistic way.

"Pick up your pen and I'll write him back."

Soon, someone brought pen and ink to Shen Yi. Master Shen tore off a piece of cloth, wrote a line of writing on it, and let someone shoot it back with an arrow.

The piece of cloth written by Shen Yi was quickly picked up by Qi Jun, but these Qi Jun did not send it directly to Tu Yuan, but sent it to Zhou Shizhong first.

Zhou Shizhong glanced at it, then shook his head slightly, and transferred it to Tu Yuan.

"General Tu, Shen Qi's reply."

Tu Yuan took a look at the cloth, and his face turned ugly.

"In order to prevent the rampant Hu thieves, tomorrow... I will increase my troops to Huaibei."

"Shen Yi."
