When the chief of government affairs of Yunxi quickly quelled the turmoil in the territory and stabilized the situation, the Qinghe army on the front line also changed from defense to offense.
The Qinghe Army took the initiative to fortify the wall and clear the field in the early stage, and abandoned most of the territory of Anling County to avoid the enemy's edge and was in a defensive state.
However, as the front line of the 20th Corps of the People's Army stretched, the Qinghe Army took the initiative to counterattack on the front line of the Moaning River.
The People's Army Qin Lie's unit replaced Xu Yong's unit. He thought he could come up to pick up a bargain, but who knew that he had a bad head and blood when he came up.
The 5,000 soldiers of a civilian army battalion they crossed the river were all eaten up by the Qinghe army in an instant under their noses, and they didn't even have time to rescue them.
And when they were about to cross the river to take revenge, the Qinghe Army's Guard Banner Regiment appeared on the west bank of the Moaning River with great fanfare.
The enraged militia troops immediately rushed forward aggressively to take revenge, but faced with the multi-armed cooperation of the Qinghe Army Guards Banner Regiment, the militia suffered another disastrous defeat.
Still not reconciled, Qin Lie selected another 15,000 elite soldiers, trying to defeat the Qinghe Army Guards Banner Regiment through night raids, in order to regain ground.
It's a pity that Qin Lie's luck was not good. His fifteen thousand elites never returned, and the bloody heads were piled directly outside their camp, becoming a spectacle.
Qin Lie's troops were defeated in three battles and three times. Not to mention the loss of the elite, morale also fell to the bottom.
Facing the Qinghe Army Guards Banner Regiment who were clamoring and provoking outside the camp, Qin Lie was very itchy, but there was nothing he could do.
He excitedly led an army of 60,000 troops to make contributions, but now stealing chickens would not make a fortune, but instead he would lose troops and generals, leaving him in disgrace.
Qin Lie knew that he was no match for the Qinghe army. Although the successive defeats made him faceless, he also knew that face should not be eaten, and survival is the last word.
Facing the clamor and provocation of the Qinghe army, Qin Lie had only one order, which was to hang up the exemption card and not fight if he died.
Qin Lie's idea is very simple, that is, since I am not an opponent in the wild, then I will be a coward and let you hit me.
Although Qin Lie's idea is a bit cheap, it is also applicable to ordinary enemies.
Because it is impossible to capture a strong camp without paying a certain price.
Qin Lie ordered the militia troops to dig trenches, set up fences, and put on an appearance of staunch defense.
Qin Lie also had his own little plan, that is to stop with silence, defend the camp to the death, let the Qinghe army attack, and slowly consume the physical strength and morale of the Qinghe army.
When the Qinghe army got tired of attacking and had a loophole, he would wait for an opportunity to counterattack, so that he would have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
? If it is a head-on confrontation with the Qinghe army now, the mob in his hands now is not an opponent at all.
Qin Lie's idea is good, but the reality is cruel, because the Qinghe army will not play cards according to the routine.
If ordinary troops wanted to attack Qin Lie's fortified camp, they would use infantry to smash it up.
However, the Qinghe Army Guards Banner Regiment now has twenty newly equipped trebuchets, so they are too lazy to send infantry up to smash them.
Under the order of Li Changqing, the head of the Jinwei Banner, twenty catapults aimed at Qin Lie's camp and started a continuous bombardment operation.
Stone bullets smashed towards Qin Lie's camp with a whistling sound, and the camp built of wood and mud was smashed out of big holes.
After the trebuchet bombarded for only one morning, Qin Lie's camp, which he thought was impregnable, was smashed and riddled with holes.
While smashing the camp to pieces, the trebuchet started bombarding the camp again as if practicing accuracy.
The stone bullets kept falling with a breath of death, and once they were hit, they would immediately turn into a pile of rotten meat.
Although the number of militia soldiers hit by stone bombs was only a fraction of the troops, fear continued to spread in the army, resulting in a continuous decline in morale.
The result is that no matter whether it is eating or sleeping, they dare not be careless in the slightest, and the stone bomb may hit them at any time.
The trebuchets of the Guards Banner Regiment bombarded day and night, and it was still irregular, which made Qin Lie's troops tremble and panicked.
"Boom!"
"The stone bullets from the thief army are coming again, hurry up and hide!"
When the soldiers of the civilian army were sleeping at night, suddenly the ground trembled violently, followed by roars from outside.
The militia soldiers who had just fallen asleep didn't even care about putting on their clothes. They got up in panic and hid in places they thought were safe.
However, the entire camp was within the range of the catapults, and there was no way for them to hide.
The ground continued to tremble violently, there were tents from time to time, the lighting fire was hit, and the screams continued to resound.
Some militia soldiers' psychological defenses collapsed under the constant bombardment, and they ran out regardless, trying to fight the Qinghe army desperately, but they couldn't stop them.
"return!"
"return!"
Facing the soldiers who couldn't bear it and wanted to find the Qinghe army desperately, the officers were screaming, but it was of no avail.
Soon, there was a dense sound of horseshoes in the darkness, and the soldiers who yelled and rushed out quickly fell silent.
On the second day, the militia soldiers found that the soldiers who rushed out after being stimulated last night had become corpses hanging high outside the camp, which made them unable to bear to look directly at them.
"We can't stay here and wait to die, we have to break through!"
Facing the day and night bombardment of the Guards Banner's catapults, Qin Lie couldn't stay any longer. He felt that if he continued to stay here, sooner or later he would be bloody and bloody from the falling stone bullets.
More importantly, their food and grass are almost exhausted now, if they continue to suffer, they will run out of food.
Qin Lie ordered to prepare to break through, and the frightened militia soldiers also raised their hands in favor, wishing to leave this ghost place now.
But since they have come to the Moaning River, it is not so easy to leave here.
The 5,000 cavalrymen of the Guards Banner Regiment wandered around the militia camp enviously. When they saw Qin Lie and the others breaking through the siege, they immediately went up and killed them with a murderous aura.
Qin Lie and the others broke through the siege for the first time at the cost of losing 3,000 soldiers and declared a failure.
After failing to break out during the day, Qin Lie thought of breaking out at night, but it was more difficult to break out at night.
Facing the blockade of the Qinghe Army's Guards Banner Regiment, Qin Lie's night breakout also failed, and they were blocked back again.
The two failures to break out not only lost a large number of troops, but also further exacerbated the decline in morale, making them no longer able to break out.
Qin Lie originally wanted to stick to the camp and let the Qinghe army take the initiative to attack, so as to consume the vitality of the Qinghe army and take the opportunity to counterattack.
However, the Qinghe army didn't play the cards according to the routine, which caused him to be trapped in a cocoon now, instead of being trapped here.
Two failed breakouts resulted in them not having enough strength to rush out, so he could only ask for help.
Qin Lie sent several groups of messengers asking for help, the land was blocked, they drifted down the Moaning River, and were going to find General Qin Feng of Xiaoqi to lead his troops to help.
