Chapter 553 551 [Ande warriors guard the four sides] ()
What is murder and heart-breaking?
Yuan Xingqin and other generals reacted quickly.

After understanding Lu Chen's plan, Qing Yugong ignored Jing Jun on the Luwu Mountain side and instead directly attacked Yongqiu, throwing the dilemma in front of Liu Shouguang.

If the Qi Jing army continues to stay at Baima Pass, the Jing army can attack Yongqiu without any scruples. After all, the reinforcements from the Qi army on the eastern front are just a bluff. The Da Qi Jing army can also choose to harass with a small force, but considering that the opponent has a large number of cavalry, this method will undoubtedly lead to no return.

If Liu Shouguang wants to rescue Yongqiu, he has the only option now. He can lead his troops northward to put pressure on Jing's army, but this will lead him to the current situation.

Jing Jun did not make any exquisite arrangements. The ambushes on the east and west sides were not arranged in advance, otherwise the ranger scouts sent by Liu Shouguang would not have noticed it. At most, the cavalry detouring from the side took a little effort, and this is exactly what happened. This is the advantage of Jingjun's cavalry. They are extremely good at attacking in roundabout ways.

In short, Qing Yugong only strengthened the attack on Yongqiu, forcing the Qi Jing army to take the initiative to get into an ambush.

Unless Liu Shouguang refused to save him and watched Yongqiu fall and Li Tianrun die in the hands of Jing Jun, but for Qing Yugong, this was also a result he was happy to see.

"This is a conspiracy."

Liu Shouguang heaved a sigh of relief and said slowly, "And Qing Yugong's plan doesn't stop there."

Yuan Xingqin said with a solemn expression: "Does the Marquis mean that Qing Yugong wants to completely destroy the morale of his colleagues in the city?"

Liu Shouguang nodded.

Jing Jun deliberately placed the Qi capital army outside Yongqiu City, obviously intending to eat the 20,000 Beijing troops in front of all the defenders.

Such an outcome would certainly be a heavy blow to the defenders.

Yuan Xingqin remained silent and had a clearer understanding of the tactics of Marshal Jingjun. The opponent had no fancy plots and tricks at all, and just followed the trend and forced the Qi army inside and outside Yongqiu into a desperate situation.

Liu Shouguang noticed that everyone was in a very low mood, so he slightly raised his tone and said, "This battle is not without a turn for the better."

Everyone couldn't help but look up at him.

Liu Shouguang said calmly: "Jing's army also needs to take care of the siege of the city, and last but not least, it must maintain a deterrent against the Yongqiu defenders. Therefore, it is impossible to devote all its troops to this battlefield. As long as our army can block Jing's army's attack, even if it is slightly The disadvantage will not allow Qing Yugong to achieve his goal."

Everyone nodded.

Liu Shouguang said sternly: "Everyone, the soldiers of the border army have been fighting bravely until now. How can we stay out of the matter because of the emperor's favor? People often say that the treatment in the Beijing camp is far better than that of the frontier army, but it is far worse than that of the frontier army. It is far inferior to the achievements of the frontier army. Every time I think about this, I feel ashamed. If we face the enemy head-on today, we can only live up to the name of Daqi Jingying by fighting to the death."

"Be loyal to the king and serve the country today!"

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were excited.

Liu Shouguang looked around and said sternly: "Form a circle to resist the enemy!"

"Follow the order!"

The generals immediately took the order and left. They saw that the Qi Jing army did not retreat hastily. Facing the enemies coming from three sides and the Jing army cavalry cutting off the retreat from the south, the 20,000 Jing camp soldiers merged into one, forming a huge And a stable formation stands on the plain.

Jingjun's offensive came in waves.

On a piled earth mountain in the northeast, Qing Yugong calmly watched the battle situation in the south.

Qi Jun's response did not surprise him, and this was Liu Shouguang's only correct choice.

Put yourself to death and survive, only then can you have a glimmer of hope.

If you retreat in a hurry, you will definitely be beaten by Jingjun.

"Looking back now, the biggest omission back then was letting Li Duan escape to Jiangnan."

Looking at the fierce fighting situation in the south from the beginning, Qing Yugong suddenly sighed.

Qingyu Huaijin was also dressed in military uniform today. Hearing this, he said: "Father, according to what the chief performer said, Emperor Qi's death will not be long."

Qing Yugong shook his head and said: "Even if Li Duan dies now, it will not affect the resistance of the soldiers and people of Southern Qi. Da Jing had the best opportunity to destroy Southern Qi fifteen years ago, but it was a pity that Li Duan escaped. In the past fifteen years, he has done a good job in Jiangnan, stabilizing the position of Southern Qi, and promoting talents such as Li Tianrun, Xiao Wangzhi and Lu Chen, giving the greatest support to the border army. These people will be the pillars of Southern Qi, even on the opposite side. Although Liu Shouguang's vision is not high enough, he can still be called a Shoucheng general."

Qingyu Huaijin gradually understood.

What her father said was that Nan Qi had spent fifteen years changing his mind and getting rid of the confusion and confusion, and now he had the strength to fight against Dajing.

In this way, Emperor Dajing seemed to have underestimated Nan Qi's strength, otherwise he should not have eagerly forced Qing Yugong to send troops, let alone want to weaken the Qing Yu family's power so early.

Thinking of this, she whispered: "Father, Your Majesty——"

Qing Yugong seemed to know what she was thinking and interrupted her directly: "For Your Majesty, Southern Qi is naturally an enemy, but the internal enemies cannot be ignored. Throughout history, many times the will of an individual cannot control a group. Even if your father has never coveted that chair, how do you know that others don't have this idea? If the Qingyu family continues to develop, maybe one day your father will be pushed up by his loyal subordinates, and the internal enemies will also be eliminated. It needs to be solved, and there is no one who comes first.”

Qingyu Huaijin couldn't help but remain silent.

Having grown up in a royal palace and being able to come and go at will, she certainly understands the nature of the power struggle.

Putting aside those high-sounding words, it boils down to four words: life and death.

She sighed softly: "So the enemy in front of you may not be the eternal enemy." Qing Yugong turned to look at her.

Many Jinglian nobles did not understand why he pampered Qingyu Huaijin so much. Although the Yongping Princess who was personally granted by Emperor Jing was excellent in all aspects, she always felt that she was not top-notch in any aspect. Of course, it cannot be said to be mediocre, but not amazing enough. Extraordinary talent.

Qing Yugong didn't care about this. He knew his daughter well. Although she had suffered a lot in the confrontation with Nan Qi Lu Chen in the past two years, she was very self-aware and good at learning.

A hundred years from now, the fate of the Qingyu family will most likely still fall into the hands of Qingyu Huaijin, so he will always keep her by his side and teach her as much as possible.

Looking back at the battlefield in the south, Qing Yugong said calmly: "At least for now, they are still enemies. If you cannot severely damage them, people will underestimate your value."

Qingyu Huaijin looked at the situation and said after a moment: "Our army will win this battle."

As she said, although Liu Shouguang's decision was correct and his pre-war encouragement was exciting, there is a very cruel fact in the world.

Will can play a role, provided that the strengths of both parties are relatively close.

The Jing army used 10,000 cavalry to cut off the Qi Jing army's retreat, and 30,000 infantry launched attacks from three directions, constantly squeezing the Qi army's formation and forcing them to move inward.

Excluding the tentative battle outside Baima Pass a month ago, this is the first time that the Daqi Jingjun has faced off against the Jingjun. Moreover, unlike the changes in the frontier army from weak to strong, they will face the Jingjun's final battle from the very beginning. Elite troops.

The main force of Xia Shan Army under Qing Yugong.

As time went by, the formation of Da Qi's Jing army inevitably became loose, especially the vanguard army led by Yuan Xingqin in the north. They were under the greatest pressure and were forced by Jing's army to retreat southwards.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before the Qi Jing army will be defeated.

When their formation is completely penetrated by Jing Jun, it will turn into a large-scale massacre, which is what Jing Jun is best at chasing.

Qingyu Huaijin's vision is also growing, and there seems to be no problem with her judgment. However, Qingyu Gong said meaningfully: "The outcome is unpredictable."

He turned to look at Yongqiu City to the west.

Today's battlefield presents extreme differences between movement and stillness.

On one side is the 20,000 Beijing troops who were caught in the fierce attack of Jingjun, and on the other side is Yongqiu City in a state of silence.

Qing Yugong had enough troops to open two battlefields. He sent 40,000 infantry and cavalry to besiege the Southern Qi Jing army. He also deployed troops and horses outside the city on all sides of Yongqiu to prevent Li Tianrun's surprise troops from disrupting the battle.

On top of the city, the garrison officers looked at the battlefield in the south, their faces full of anxiety and solemnity.

They could only watch helplessly as their comrades from the Beijing army were strangled by Jing Jun, unable to do anything. This kind of suffering was unbearable for anyone with a conscience.

But when you look over the towering city walls and into the city, you will find a scene that makes your blood boil.

In the southern city of Yongqiu, soldiers continued to gather, just like streams merging into a mighty river.

Under the commander's flag, Li Tianrun stood on horseback. Behind him were the Guards Battalion, the Qing Xu Army and the Heyang Army.

Li Liangyu, Qiu Jixun, Zhang Zhan, Zhu Zhen, Niu Cunjie and other generals were guarding him beside him.

Li Tianrun's eyes stayed on the face of Qi Shouzhi, the commander of the guard camp, and said solemnly: "You are responsible for leading the soldiers on the city to break up the rear."

Qi Shouzhi said solemnly: "The last general takes orders!"

Li Tianrun withdrew his gaze, looked forward, and said loudly: "Open the door!"

The heavy south gate of Yongqiu City slowly opened, and Qiu Jixun led the vanguard of the Qing Xu Army to file out. At the same time, the soldiers guarding the Yongqiu City Wall received the order, quickly rushed down the city, and came to the guard camp as planned in advance. Near the flag.

When the south gate of Yongqiu opened, the Jingjun infantry outside immediately noticed it, but they did not react much because Qing Yugong had already ordered to prevent the defenders in the city from leaving the city for a surprise attack.

General Jing Jun immediately ordered to form a formation to meet the enemy.

However, his expression soon changed slightly. It was not unusual for the defenders to leave the city for an assault. The question was whether there were too many Qi troops pouring out from the south gate of Yongqiu?

In a moment, a handsome flag came into his sight.

The governor of Jingzhou is Li!

Under the handsome flag, Li Tianrun looked calm and raised his finger to the southeast.

"kill!"

Countless roars burst out from the chest, and under the disbelieving gaze of the Jingjun generals, the Qi army soldiers who had been guarding Yongqiu for several months came out in full force.

This is not a surprise attack, but an active abandonment of the city!

Like a giant dragon, the Jingzhou Army rushed through the obstruction of the Jing Army in the south of the city and rushed towards the battlefield where the Qi Jing Army was besieged!
