As the first batch of Qi people came ashore, more Northern Qi ships also docked one after another!
In just a moment, there were almost all Qi people on the river bank five or six miles away from Dusi Zhouqiao Camp!

And at this moment, the pressure on the capital's Zhouqiao camp reached its peak in an instant!

Because too many Qi people landed, these Qi people even pushed the battle line all the way south for four or five battles, so that the soldiers of the capital had no way to interfere with the subsequent Qi people's landing!
Although relying on the favorable location, in the first round of confrontation, the soldiers of the Dusi took advantage, but as the number of Qi people increased, the pressure on the Dusi increased.

The long moment is finally over!

Su Ding waved decisively to order!

"Soldiers on the front line get down, those in the back row go up, retreat steadily, retreat steadily!"

Under his order, the soldiers who had been fighting with the Qi people for a quarter of an hour retreated slowly. Although the subsequent soldiers pushed forward, they also retreated slowly according to a fixed route!

They withdrew twenty or thirty feet away!
Su Dingcai waved his hand fiercely, and said viciously: "Light it up! Light it up!"

At this moment, the gunpowder has been buried!
Although it was buried gunpowder and the soil was new, it was easy to be discovered, but at this time, in the midst of a fierce battle, it was impossible for the people of Qi to discover the new soil on the ground!

As someone lit the fuse, in an instant, the sound of gunpowder explosion resounded throughout Yanhuai!
At this moment, the first batch of Qi people who landed were stepping on the gunpowder and were blown upright. At least hundreds of people died in the explosion of gunpowder, and the rest of the Qi people were in chaos. !
Su Ding waved his hand violently, and said viciously: "Brothers, their formation is out of order, rush up and take back the position along the river!"

"We must not let these thieves step into the realm of my big Chen!"

After saying this, Su Ding didn't command anymore, but pulled out the saber from his waist, followed the soldiers, and rushed up together.

Even Master Shen Yi shouted angrily, and greeted the people of Qi!
At this time, there was a large ship on the Huaihe River, which had never docked.

On the deck of the big ship, a young man in armor was holding a cylinder in his hand, watching the battle on the south bank with one eye open.

This thing is also a telescope.

But the lens barrel is made of pure gold, and the lens is made of pure transparent crystal, which is a novelty that has only entered Yandu from the West in the past two years.

However, this thing is expensive, and it is destined to be impossible to popularize in the hands of ordinary soldiers.

After looking at it for a while, His Royal Highness King Wei put down the telescope, put it aside, frowned slightly and said, "Why is the advance so slow? Didn't the general say that the Zhouqiao camp on the south bank has only [-] defenders? Let's spread the front line, even if they haven't all landed, they shouldn't be able to stop us."

"The Southern Chen civil official guarding Huai'an is surnamed Shen and named Yi."

Zhou Shizhong was also looking at Nan'an, he looked at Nan'an quietly: "The word is Ziheng."

"Very young."

"Although he is a scholar, he has some knowledge. The Nanchen court sent him to Yanhuai just to fight Zhao Lu of Nanchen."

"Think about it, Your Highness. A young man in his early 20s can tear a line of defense from Zhao Lu's mouth. This person is naturally remarkable."

"At first, I didn't pay much attention to him."

General Zhou said quietly: "Not long after he arrived in Huai'an, Quanzi led people to try to attack the Huai'an defense line. As a result, I conscripted two thousand elite soldiers from the Southern Army, but only half of them returned."

His Royal Highness King Wei frowned when he heard the words, looked back at Zhou Shizhong, and asked, "General, are there any elites among the 8000 people on the South Bank?"

Zhou Shizhong smiled, but did not answer.

But what he meant was self-evident.

Naturally there is not.

The real elites of the Southern Army are about 5000 in total, each of them is Zhou Shizhong's treasure, and this time to fight Huai'an, even if the Huai'an Mansion is captured, they will eventually be driven back to Hebei by the Southerners. There are bound to be mass casualties.

Zhou Shizhong was naturally reluctant to waste his elites.

His Royal Highness King Wei didn't ask any more questions, but looked at the battlefield on the south bank again, and said slowly: "General, we came here with such a big fanfare, we can't even get to the shore."

"Your Highness wants to take down Huai'an, it's not difficult."

Zhou Shizhong looked at the south bank, and said slowly: "The soldiers of my conscript to the south bank have already landed. Although the progress is not fast, they are advancing slowly and will soon gain a firm foothold on the south bank."

"if…"

Zhou Shizhong looked at His Royal Highness King Wei, and said calmly: "If Your Highness really wants to defeat the enemy and make meritorious service, I will now order those empty ships to turn back to the north bank, and His Highness will send all the [-] reinforcements he brought to the south bank. "

"At most three days, Huai'an City can be conquered."

Zhao Kai's eyelids twitched, and he looked back at Zhou Shizhong suspiciously.

"Since the general is sure of breaking through Huai'an, why did he only bring more than 8000 people to the expedition this time?"

"Because it's almost winter..."

General Zhou glanced at Zhao Kai helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the Southern Conscript Army is the imperial court's Conscript Southern Army..."

Zhao Kai snorted softly, did not answer, but looked at the other side of the river, gritted his teeth and said, "Then kill all the southerners on the south bank alone!"

"This time, we must defeat five thousand enemies alone!"

Zhou Shizhong didn't answer the words either, he just turned his head silently and glanced at the young prince.

Then he looked to the south bank of the Huaihe River, raised his hand, and said slowly: "Send the order, hurry up and advance!"

"Before noon, kill Nanchen's Zhouqiao camp!"

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Shizhong would not personally command a battle involving no more than [-] people, but this time, he was "accompanying the prince to study", so he came to the battle in person.

He is the supreme commander of the South Army. As soon as he said these words, they were immediately passed on layer by layer.

As a result, the Qi people on the south bank of the Huaihe River attacked more violently!
Shen Yi came to the battle in person, and under the cover of several inner guards, he fought hard and cut off the arm of a Qiren with one knife.

To be honest, Master Shen's personal physical strength is good, and he can be regarded as a qualified soldier, but in terms of combat effectiveness alone, if he goes into battle in person and let a few inner guards protect him, he might as well retreat to the rear and let a few inner guards go Let go and kill.

But Shen Yi's appearance on the battlefield was not just to improve the combat effectiveness of one or two people.

What's more important is morale and people's hearts!
This morning was the longest morning Shen Yi had ever spent in his life!
The two sides fought fiercely for an hour along the Huaihe River!
At this time, because the number of people is too low, Yanhuai has almost been occupied by Qi people!
Shen Yi took two steps back, and glanced at the battlefield that had already shown its defeat.

He gritted his teeth, extremely unwilling!
But at this time, it is useless not to be reconciled. If the fight continues, the two thousand soldiers of Shen Yi's Zhouqiao camp may face defeat!
Once defeated, they will be hunted down like a sheep by Qi people!

Shen Yi gritted his teeth and was about to give an order!
Su Ding ran over in a hurry, he bowed his head deeply to Shen Yi, panting heavily.

"Mr. Shen, Mr. Shen!"

Shen Yi waved his hand impatiently, with a hoarse voice: "I know, I know, I will withdraw immediately!"

Su Ding swallowed, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Shen!"

"Our reinforcements have arrived!"

Shen Yi's eyes lit up, and he turned his head suddenly: "So fast? Where did you come from!"

Su Ding lowered his head and smiled wryly: "It's cavalry, they rushed here on horseback, a total of [-] riders..."

When Master Shen heard this, he immediately frowned.

Because the cavalry was made by him with great difficulty, and all of them are extremely expensive!

But at this time, I can't care too much!
After only one breath, Master Shen said coldly: "Send an order, tell them to dismount immediately!"

"Dismount to meet the enemy!"
