Lord of the House

When Jiangning was struggling to decide who to send to Dengzhou to supervise the battle, Chen Zhihu sent his deputy, Gao Yi, to lead more than 10,000 troops to attack Qingzhou.

Gao Yi attacked Qingzhou, imitating Chen Zhihu's tactics of rushing to Linzi, directly pressing the army up, besieging three towers and one, leaving a way for the defenders in Qingzhou city, dismantling their fighting spirit, lest they die in a desperate fight.

Thousands of people were captured from the four townships and eight pavilions, and they used carts and cloth bags to cover the soil. In just one day, they filled in seven or eight passages to attack the city on the ten-zhang-wide moat. Gao Yi drove more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, divided them from three sides, attached the city with a cloud ladder, and stormed Qingzhou, as if he didn't want to delay for a moment.

Chen Zhihu attacked Linzi, and Linzi was unprepared. Zhang Jinxian had only a thousand miscellaneous soldiers in Linzi at that time, and was caught by surprise. In addition, the city of Linzi was large, and the more than one thousand miscellaneous soldiers were not fully defended at all. Therefore, Chen Zhihu took more than ten thousand elites and pressed him to fight fast, and he would capture Linzi in three days. It was a normal result to attack and defend.

After Linzi fell, Du Juefu reacted very quickly, giving up the cities of Shouguang, Changyi and Guangrao in the north, and concentrated his forces in Qingzhou City. Although the defenders in Qingzhou City were disorganized, they would inevitably panic when the army was overwhelmed, but the total number was still as many as 4,000.

It was none other than Yang Shi who assisted Du Juefu in defending 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. When Gu Wuchen and Gu Sichen led the main force of the Qingzhou army to Yangxin, although the soldiers and horses left behind in Qingzhou were limited, and only two battalions were first, Yang Shi could be said to be one of the few generals in the Qingzhou army who could give Gu's trust and ability, so he gave him to him. Arranged to stay at Qingzhou Base Camp.

In addition, Cheng Weiyuan, the magistrate of Guangrao County, also assisted Du Juefu in guarding Qingzhou City.

Cheng Weiyuan crowded Gu Wuchen and Gu Siyuan's father and son from Yangxin to Guangrao Renzhi County, and some old soldiers of Yangxin went to Guangrao with him, and formed the Guangrao Army on this basis. Although the number is less than a thousand, there are veterans who have experienced the brutal war in Yangxin back then. The Guangrao soldiers were still some distance away from the elites, but at least they didn't panic when they saw the enemy's pressure, and there were laws in defending the city.

Sometimes it's the difference between having experienced and not having experienced.

Du Juefu has a good demeanor on weekdays, but now the panic in his eyes can hardly be eliminated. Cheng Weiyuan stood at the head of Yangxin City for several months, and there will be thousands of corpses piled up under Yangxin City. The rudimentary tactics of Gao Yi's team are hard to shock him.

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

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

At this time, Linzi fell and the situation in Qingzhou collapsed. Even if Du Juefu and others had the guts, they would not drive out Wu Qi, who came to Qingzhou to contact directly. Moreover, Cheng Weiyuan and Yang Shi also felt close to Huaidong. of. In fact, Du Juefu himself also wanted to evacuate his clan relatives to Huaidong for refuge.

There are Yang Shi, Cheng Weiyuan, and Wu Qi in Qingzhou City. The defenders in the city are full of troops, and there was a buffer for a few days before, so the defenders were asked to make some preparations. use.

Gao Yi's forces attacked for one day without success, and they were about to withdraw their troops in the evening. When they came back to attack the city tomorrow, Yang Shi saw the opportunity and led 600 soldiers to charge away from the north gate, directly attacking Gao Qi's main general, Gao Qi. .

Yang Shi saw that the enemy generals were contemptuous, the tactics were simple, and there were many troops and horses brought to attack the city. Naturally, he had to seize the opportunity to fight back. Otherwise, after a few days of unsuccessful siege by the enemy, the main force will be dispatched honestly, and they will be besieged by water mills, and they will be miserable when they are trapped in the city.

When Yang Shi's troops suddenly attacked 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's troops collapsed after a rush, and there was almost no organization. With a decent offensive, the main commander's flag was cut down by the Qingzhou defenders who had raided the city.

The main commander chopped down the battle flag, and the central army was thrown into chaos. Although there were more than ten thousand enemy troops, they fled in panic, such as a huge body with a decapitated body and a headless fly.

Yang Shi chased after the victory, and Du Juefu also decisively sent more troops and horses outside the city, chasing and killing the defeated soldiers all over the mountains...

In one battle, nearly 3,000 soldiers and soldiers could be wiped out, and countless soldiers were captured. This was the only victory the Qingzhou Army had won since Chen Zhihu led his troops into Qingzhou and captured Leling, and it could definitely be called a great victory.

Although this battle did not directly defeat Chen Zhihu himself, Gao Yi has been regarded as Chen Zhihu's shadow for more than ten years.

Since the East Fujian War, the Tiger Army's Frontier Battalion has almost never suffered a defeat, and it is also an elite soldier who once thought 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.

If this is not a great victory, Du Juefu does not know what to count as a great victory.

Wu Qi was a veteran with ruthless eyes. Although he felt that Gao Yi was wrongly defeated, he felt that the victory in front of him was strange, but the victory was real and he did not cheat at all, so he could not help but believe it. After all, the battlefield is full of contingency, and it is not impossible for Chen Zhihu and Gao Yi to underestimate the enemy.

Thinking about how many famous generals in their prime have been defeated by weak enemies only because they underestimated the enemy, they would not feel that the defeats of Chen Zhihu and Gao Yi are unimaginable.

The army and people in Qingzhou were excited for a while, and Du Juefu was like walking around in the heaven and the earth. From the previous panic and anxiety, he instantly fell into the ecstasy of winning a great victory, and immediately divided his troops to take Shouguang and Changyi, and quickly rode out of Qingzhou City. Gallop to all directions.

Hell and heaven have always been separated by a thin line. The mood in **** and the mood in heaven change so quickly, and then the judgment of the war and the situation is completely subverted.

Those 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 believed that the situation in Qingzhou was irreversible, and even felt that as long as such a victory could be won again, the situation in Qingzhou would change. reverse.

It's no wonder Du Juefu and the others thought so. Chen Zhihu has always had a prestige and notoriety. Even if he surrendered to Yan Hu, his image of an invincible and brave general on the battlefield was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In Du Juefu's view, Chen Zhihu was already crippled in the Qingzhou battle; Victory, you can completely eliminate the enemy forces entering the hinterland of Qingzhou, and then threaten the main force of the captive soldiers besieging Yangxin.

The number of enemy annihilations is second, the key is that this campaign has boosted morale. As long as Chen Zhihu can be driven from Linzi City, the Dengzhou Army and Liang's troops will gather in the middle, and the main force besieging Yangxin by the captives, in addition to withdrawing, there is also a third. two options?

The key point is that the defenders of Qingzhou City are limited at this time, and they are not enough to make persistent efforts to win great victories. On the one hand, Du Juefu sent fast horses to Dengzhou and Jinan to ask for reinforcements. A combat force forms a frontal battlefield.

The guerrilla tactics emphasize "we fight when the enemy is exhausted, and when the enemy retreats, we chase after him." Qingzhou was victorious, and the elites of Chen Zhihu's team were crippled. This victory was detailed. On the one hand, he personally rushed back to Baqi Mountain, asked Chu Zheng to gather his troops, and went out of the mountain to fight with the Qingzhou defenders.

Huaidong, who followed Wu Qi and Chu Zheng into Yishan successively, had more than 500 people, who were used to recruit the original cottage and horse thieves forces. In less than two months, the development force had reached nearly 3,000 people. Insufficient supply of soldiers and lack of training is second. The most important thing is that these soldiers and horses are scattered among the Yishan Mountains. It will take some time to assemble them, not a few days.

But in any case, the victory in Qingzhou has stimulated the nerves of the military and civilian officials 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 from Qingzhou reached Jiangning, and Jiangning had not yet decided who to send to Dengzhou to supervise the battle.

Emperor Yongxing summoned the prime ministers and important ministers to discuss matters in the Chongwen Hall. Facing the swift news from Qingzhou, everyone was both happy and surprised.

Xie Chaozhong laughed loudly and said, "I said that Marquis Huaidong was just a nonsense, look at what I said!"

Lin Xuwen was speechless. The Qingzhou side would naturally not deceive the imperial court with fake victories. The situation in Qingzhou turned for the better. It can only be said that Lin Bie made a mistake in this matter. In front of Emperor Yongxing, he excused Huaidong and said, "Marquis Huaidong is also sharing the worries of the court..."

"I understand this, I don't need Lin Aiqing to say more," Emperor Yongxing interrupted Lin Xuwen impatiently. Lin Xuwen and Huaidong were wearing a pair of trousers. He naturally knew in his heart that it was the Qingzhou Army who won the battle. If it was the Changhuai Army, he would There is no need to show Lin Xuwen and Huaidong a good look, and then ask Chen Xiyan, "Chen Qing's family, according to what you see, do you still want to send someone to Dengzhou to supervise the war?"

Before, no one was willing to go to Dengzhou to supervise the battle~www.readwn.com~ After all, Dengzhou is a dangerous place; there is no way to get stuck there, who would like to take the initiative to run over there? At this time, the situation in Qingzhou has greatly improved. Going to Dengzhou to supervise the battle, not only is there no danger, but maybe there is still a record to win. Naturally, everyone is willing.

It's just that when I sent people to Dengzhou to supervise the battle, I was afraid that Liu Yefei would be unstable and that the Dengzhou navy might fall into the enemy's hands. At this time, the situation in Qingzhou has greatly improved, and Dengzhou is naturally no threat.

At this time, sending someone over, didn't he deliberately add to Liu Yefei's heart?

Chen Xiyan said: "There is no need to send people... At this time, the Duke of Lu and Liu Yefei, the prefect of Dengzhou, should be ordered to immediately send troops into Qingzhou and join forces to fight in order to expand the results and relieve the siege of Yangxin as soon as possible." I am afraid that no one will pay attention. At this time, entering Qingzhou can get a record. Presumably the Liang family and Dengzhou Town will be more active.

Yue Lengqiu said, "This minister thinks it's inappropriate, all the troops should guard their ground, keep the walls clear, and wait for the enemy to retreat on their own, so they shouldn't go into battle rashly..."

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

"Except for the troops led by Lu Guogong, the main force of the Qingzhou army was trapped in Yangxin, Qingzhou and Dengzhou only had stray soldiers who were brave and able to adjust, easy to defend the city, difficult field battles, and rashly went into battle, fearing that the victory of this victory would be lost. Yue Lengqiu said, "In addition, the prefect of Liu is superior in political affairs, but clumsy in military affairs; Dengzhou does not face the enemy, Liu Yefei is a suitable candidate for the prefect; at this time, when Dengzhou encounters the enemy, Wei Chen recommended Huaixi army chief envoy and Zuo Wei. The Imperial Censor Liu Tingzhou will go to Dengzhou to replace Liu Yefei!"

Yue Lengqiu first felt that Qingzhou Yijie was a bit strange, and even more felt that Liu Yefei's continued stay in Dengzhou was a poison that he did not know when it would strike. Therefore, he did not agree with the Dengzhou Town soldiers and horses taking the initiative to attack, and secondly suggested that Liu Yefei should be withdrawn. My QT room is open!
