The sky was covered with red clouds, and the sudden late spring cold caused Quyang County to fall into the cold again.

What makes people feel even more chill is that there are more than 10,000 Liao Palace Treasure Army outside the city, and are preparing to attack the county town in full swing.

However, in the huge county town, there are only thousands of soldiers guarding it, and the people have long been evacuated.

The one who guarded the county town was a regiment, and the general who led the regiment was Chen Youmin.

Chen Youmin was originally just a company commander of a reconnaissance battalion. After experiencing the capture of Liuboling, the Battle of Shaanxi, and the Battle of Hebei, he had quickly accumulated military merits and became the commander of a regiment.

Chen Youmin climbed up to the city wall, observed with a telescope for a while, then put down his glasses and smiled: "This Yang Tingru is too cunning. He wants to wipe out one of Yelu Wan's troops, unite our group and Chang Yixian group, but put us in Quyang County as bait to take the chestnuts for him to fire, which is too shameless."

The instructor next to him smiled and said, "Captain, don't behave well when you get a bargain. How easy it is to fight to defend the city. Isn't that the same contribution to the heads harvested in defending the city?"

Chen Youmin laughed: "Hi, forget it, we are generous, so let's take advantage of them. But that's it, after all, this matter was organized by Yang Tingru. Once Yelu Wanzhi's troops are annihilated, his first contribution will be his."

The instructor nodded and said, "The strength of the independent group is stronger after all. Our group is only 1,000 people, but his independent group has more than 3,000 people, which is already the standard of a regular brigade, so it is normal for us to assist."

Hearing this, Chen Youmin also envied: "Yang Tingru is indeed extraordinary in his ability, but he followed the right boss. He was all from the banking supervision guards back then, but he focused on Marshal Wang. Marshal Wang went to the Hehuang area and he followed him. Look, now we are the same regiment, and we only have one thousand people, but he is an independent regiment directly under the military headquarters. What if that happens?"

The instructor comforted him: "Captain Chen is not yet thirty years old. After this Xia and Liao battle, I guess there is no problem with the brigade commander."

Chen Youmin smiled and said, "You look down on me too much, it's not easy for the brigade commander to get on."

The instructor shook his head and said, "With the professional ability of the Commander Chen, he is more than enough to be a brigade commander. Even if he is a commander, I think the commander can be competent."

Chen Youmin laughed and scolded: "You are too unpredictable to flatter you, so it's fine if the brigade commander is not allowed to be promoted by ordinary people. Many of the current tutors have been trained in the General Staff Department. Without certain strategic abilities, they cannot get up at all."

The instructor leaned closer and said mysteriously: "Captain Chen, I'll tell you a piece of news. I heard that the Ministry of War is preparing to build a party school recently. Even officers at or above the level must participate in the study. After graduation, they may have to mention it."

Chen Youmin smiled and said, "So what? We can't get out of this war with the Liao Kingdom."

The instructor shook his head and said, "This war will not last too long, and it will not last for the winter. The study of the Party School will probably be next year. So, Captain Chen, you can go up the next level in this war, and then go to the Party School to study and go up the next level. Isn't this very reasonable?"

Chen Youmin immediately thought about it and was a little moved: "Is it possible?"

The instructor smiled and said, "I'm from the Youth Club."

Chen Youmin felt a stern heart. The Youth Society was a party formed by His Majesty the Emperor Ouyang Bian himself. They will develop the best in schools, courts, and military, and develop those who have excellent business capabilities and firm beliefs to join the society. Once they join the society, it means a bright future in their careers.

Chen Youmin himself is also working hard to apply for joining the club. If he wants to go to another level, joining the club must be a must.

The instructor is a member, and he knows more things, so he only knows that he is very good at doing this with him.

Chen Youmin said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Rao, for waking up."

Instructor Rao smiled and said, "Captain Chen has very outstanding abilities and is one step away from joining the club. It's okay to tell you about it."

Chen Youmin suddenly became energetic. Looking at the yelling Liao Dynasty palace tent army below, he suddenly felt that it was all the credit of the shining golden light.

At this time, Yelu Wanzhi, who was under the city, frowned and launched an attack.

More than 10,000 people ate horses and chewed them. The food they brought had already reached the bottom. Now the people of Zhending Prefecture have been evacuated, and the walls and cleared the fields are very thorough. Except for the cities guarded by someone, the other towns can basically find food. Unless Qu Yangcheng is taken down in front of you, they can only go back and replenish the food immediately.

But now it is obvious that we cannot go back. Along the way, no goal has been completed and more than a thousand palace tents have been broken. If we go back like this, Yelu Zongjian can strip him of his skin.

Therefore, the Quyang City in front of you must be taken down!

Under Yelu Wanzhi's urging, the soldiers cooked the remaining grain and ate a full meal. At the urging of officers at all levels, they launched a fierce attack on Quyang City.

"Stay steady, keep it steady for me. Don't worry, push down the siege ladder. What about the archer, archer, shoot on both sides!"

For the soldiers of Chen Youmin’s army, the business of defending the city is actually not very familiar with. They are offensive soldiers and are all cavalrymen. They are better at fighting immediately, and the business of defending the city has not been trained much.

However, overall, their combat effectiveness and discipline were excellent. After a brief chaos, they quickly stabilized. Under the command of officers at all levels, they quickly attacked the palace tent troops who were tilting their heads at various strongholds.

The advantage of defending the city was too great, and the quality of the soldiers of Chen Youmin's troops was very high, so the palace tent army suffered great losses and was very fast. After an afternoon, the city wall was not even mounted, and more than a thousand people were lost.

Yelu Wanzhi was so distressed that he started to bleeding. Seeing that night fell, he could only call out the gold to withdraw his troops.

The weather suddenly became severe and the injured soldiers became difficult. It is estimated that many people would not see the sun tomorrow.

The palace tent army was filled with sorrow.

Yelu Wanzhi was patrolling everywhere, and his heart was trembling.

The casualty rate is a very important issue for the army, because even the elite troops in later generations, once the casualties exceed 30%, the army may be on the verge of collapse.

Yelu Wanzhi's palace tent army had damaged more than 1,000 people in the previous project, and now it has damaged more than 1,000 people. The casualty rate has reached more than 20%. It is already the willpower of the palace tent army that can maintain the defeat without retreating is that it is strong enough.

If it were the Song army, it might have reached a casualty rate of 10%, which could have caused a defeat.

However, for this palace tent army, it has reached its limit now!
