"Of course, Caizhou thought that using this method would be able to stay away, which was a god-given opportunity, so I was worried that they would escape all of a sudden." Wang Shouxin had long been eager for a fight.

When Huaiyou attacked Pinglu, he and Liu Yansi announced the change of hands in Pinglu Town without getting the battle. It would be a lie to say that there was no reluctance or loss at all.

Although we have changed our target, and this target is still the life-and-death enemy of Xuzhou, this is the best opportunity for generals from Pinglu, such as Wang Shouxin and others.

Liu Yansi did not perform well before. Although he killed a Caizhou military general, he was only a minor. During the offensive and defensive battle in Songcheng, the Caizhou army successfully defended the west gate and dragged the reinforcements to the arrival of reinforcements.

"Hmph, they won't let go, and they still think they can occupy Songzhou and bargain with the prince." Liu Yansi snorted lightly, "The prince's letter also said that it may be resolved in the end by negotiation, but what should we do before and between negotiations and negotiations? Let us do it cheaply. Your Wuning Army is here. If you just sit here for rest in vain, what else can you do?"

"Haha, Liulang's idea is exactly what he wants. If he doesn't fight a good battle, how can the Caizhou army understand that Songzhou is not something they can imagine." Wang Shouxin also smiled happily.

That's what I'm waiting for. This time, the Wuning Army came with reinforcements, and the Ziqing Army was still the main focus. Liu Yansi's attitude now made Wang Shouxin relieved. Although there was still one of the Wuning Army that didn't have time to catch up, the current troops were enough to fight.

"Then Governor Liu's intention is how to fight this battle?" Hong Kui was more concerned about how to fight specifically.

"How many infantry troops have arrived in the Wuning Army?" Liu Yansi asked.

"The five infantry troops have already entered the city and are fully equipped. The other three armies have also arrived outside the city. Three cavalry troops are stationed outside the city and can launch an attack at any time." Wang Shouxin seemed full of confidence. "If the troops from the Ziqing Army were added, it would be more than enough to deal with the Caizhou Army."

"From the current situation, the Caizhou Army has a force of only about 30,000 people, three of which are about 7,000 cavalry, one is arranged in the city, and the other two are arranged outside the city, with the configuration similar to ours." Chai Yong pondered: "The Caizhou Army has also arranged a considerable number of catapults and heavy crossbows, as well as some equipment such as nest chariots. Now they have demolished some destroyed houses near the Ximen area to facilitate small groups of cavalry assaults. In addition, these equipment are also arranged in the house, and some newly built sentry towers are planned to fight protracted war and positional warfare. If we want to fight this battle well, we have to think carefully about how to fight."

Chai Yong's opinions were highly valued by Liu Yansi, Wang Shouxin and Long Kui. During this period, Liu Yansi was injured and was basically Chai Yong was in charge of the overall situation. The Wuning army led by Wang Shouxin and Long Kui were just arriving and were not familiar with the situation. Although Xuzhou had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, the Caizhou army was not slow, so it took this time to build the planning of the Ximen area, especially the deployment of some equipment and magic. This was a big test for the Xuzhou army who wanted to go down in one go.

Of course, it does not mean that you are afraid of the Caizhou army. After all, the military strength is here, and in terms of equipment and magical strength, who will Xuzhou be afraid of?

Now with the arrival of Wuning Army, the equipment and magicians from the Daozangcai Official Academy have followed suit. To fight this battle, the equipment and magic must be used to confront each other. Xuzhou Army will also be with him to the end, which is also the confidence of Xuzhou.

"Did General Chai, have the scouts figured out the situation in Ximen Xicheng?" Wang Shouxin asked.

"Every day, there are small-scale engagements on both sides, especially in the evening, scouts and snipers from both sides are carrying out operations, and more than ten people are killed every day. Perhaps the situation is still understood, but the Caizhou Army is also very cunning. Not only are it changing, but there are also arrangements like magic, which are very fast adjustments, so once the fight starts, there will definitely be many accidents." Chai Yong shook his head and said in a real way.

"Where is no accident in war? It is normal to encounter accidents, setbacks, and disadvantages. There is never a smooth sailing thing. How can we expect no casualties to fight this battle?" Wang Shouxin was very open about this point, "As long as we can win it, it is worth it to pay the necessary price. We must win this battle."

"Okay!" Liu Yansi waved his hand suddenly, "Just wait for this sentence, we can't win under such advantages. How can we fight against Shatuo and Khitans in the future? The cavalry of the Caizhou army is very average, that is, the infantry army is a little bit attractive. Now our conditions are the same. Fighting this battle can also test the quality of the Ziqing Army and the Wuning Army. It is a mule or a horse. Just take it out and take a walk. It is said that the Yuan family is good at cultivating talents, but I think it's just that. If he can destroy his young talents in this battle, it can be regarded as a profound lesson for the Yuan family."

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

After learning that the Wuning army of Xuzhou had arrived in Songcheng one after another, the Caizhou army knew that this battle would be difficult to be good.

Although the Yuan family has negotiated with the envoys sent by the court, hoping that the court can mediate the war with the Xuzhou army in Songzhou as soon as possible, both Yuan Huaihe, Yuan Huaiqing on the front line, or Yuan Wuwei, and others know that the influence of the court on Xuzhou is as small as the influence of the court on Caizhou, and they will only obey it when it is beneficial to them. Before the goal is achieved, the court's opinions can be left behind.

With the arrival of the Wuning Army, the Xuzhou Army's troops in Songzhou increased sharply. It was obvious that Xuzhou was definitely unwilling to give up. Their purpose was also very clear, which was to seize Songcheng and prepare for the future battle for Songzhou.

For Caizhou, Songcheng cannot be missed. Once Songcheng is lost, even if you can negotiate with Xuzhou in the future, you will be at an absolute disadvantage. The conditions offered by Xuzhou will definitely be difficult for Caizhou to accept, so Songcheng is a battle for an inch of land.

Of course, the Caizhou army also had this confidence. With the arrival of Yuan Huaifang and Zhao Yonghui, the Caizhou army's troops increased greatly. With 30,000 troops in order to defend a western city, both Yuan Huaiqing and Yuan Wuwei still had this confidence, especially Yuan Huaifang brought a lot of equipment and magicians from Chenzhou, which would be an important force to give the Xuzhou army a head-on attack.

Even so, Yuan Huaiqing still didn't dare to be careless. He could think of what he could think of, so the Xuzhou Army could think of it.

The advantage of military strength is very obvious, so the Xuzhou army will definitely not be willing to stop the battle like this.

Similarly, the equipment and magic power of the Xuzhou army have expanded rapidly in recent years, and have shown strong strength in several wars, and have even surpassed Caizhou. Even if they are unwilling to admit it, Yuan Huaiqing must admit that Xuzhou is already stronger than Caizhou in terms of overall strength. If Caizhou does not digest the newly annexed Yingbo and Chenzhou as soon as possible, then it will probably be left farther and farther by Xuzhou.

But all this must be based on the premise of winning this battle. Only by winning the battle of Songcheng and defending Songcheng can we win the opportunity for negotiations, and Xuzhou will definitely not accept such a result.

Yuan Huaiqing leaned down and carefully looked at the map on the desk.

This is a map of the entire Songcheng urban area. It has long been salivating about Songzhou. The Caizhou army has long described the maps of Songzhou counties in a very detailed manner, even no less than the map of Daliang Privy Council.

Songcheng is of course the top priority. This picture is the most detailed and detailed manifestation of the entire Songcheng urban area. There are many circles and pen notes on the map. This is the deployment of Caizhou Army on the Xicheng side, and it also includes the magic restriction and equipment installation of magicians in various parts in the past few days.

"If the Xuzhou army is unwilling to give up and want to fight, Lao Qi, what do you think they will fight?" Yuan Huaifang and Zhao Yonghui were standing beside Yuan Huaiqing. Both of them came from reinforcements. Here, the head coach was still Yuan Huaiqing, and Yuan Wuwei was standing opposite the desk with a gloomy face.

Yuan Wuwei was not there, and he took several younger generations to inspect the battlefield, and Zhao Tong and Yuan Wen were standing beside Yuan Wuwei.

"Bo Qing, the Xuzhou army has now increased by 50,000 troops. Whether it is infantry or cavalry, they have a great advantage. Moreover, it is not to destroy their own prestige and make others ambitious. The power of the magicians in Xuzhou is stronger than us. Although we can win some advantages with a defensive attitude, I think this is probably not enough."

Yuan Wuwei's a little straightforward words made everyone present look a little bad-looking, especially Yuan Huaifang and Zhao Yonghui. A look of disdain flashed across Yuan Wen and Zhao Tong's faces behind him, and it was obvious that he was a little contemptuous of Yuan Wuwei, who was known as the three horses of the Yuan family.

There were 30,000 Caizhou Army, and many of them were newcomers from Chenzhou and Qiao County. In the early stage, the Ziqing Army did not gain much advantage when the Caizhou Army had not received reinforcements. In addition to losing Zhao Yuanhuai, it can be said that the Xuzhou Army did not perform very well on other battlefields.

Now the Caizhou army has controlled most of the Xicheng. Relying on the defense of these streets and houses, magic and equipment can play a greater role. If the Xuzhou army dares to invade, they will be bleeding.

However, Yuan Huaiqing's face did not change much, and his eyes were still on the map, "Lao Qi, do you think we can't defend it? What's the crux of the problem?"

"It's not that I can't hold on. I just think that even if we keep on, we may pay a considerable price."
