"I was indeed defeated today, but that was just a careless moment. And those salt owls were useless, and they would only cause chaos on the battlefield, not because of the miscommand of command. Co asked Lord Wu to return his direct troops to his subordinates, and his subordinates would definitely be able to take Qishan City!"

"Then according to what you said, this Qishan City is handed over to you. I will leave another thousand soldiers in Wendeng Camp, five hundred soldiers and young soldiers each, nearly three thousand. It is not difficult to fight a Fushan City with more than one thousand people. I hope you will not let my expectations down. If any problems arise, don't blame the ruthless military law at that time!"

Wu Anbang agreed to this arrangement, and he had selfish intentions. There were more than 1,000 people in Qishan City. Although the city was in a good location, the siege was not easy to fight, so it would be better to throw it to Liu Yuanhang.

He wanted to lead the army to eliminate the main force of the rebels entrenched in Fushan City, and then continue to march northward to regain Dengzhou. The contribution was great, far from being comparable to a thousand-household city like Qishan City. If Liu Yuanhang was not there, he would have lost one person to give the credit, and his direct generals would be better promoted.

"My subordinates receive the order" Liu Yuanhang clenched his fists and vowed to razor Qishan City to the ground.

He had almost never encountered any setbacks since he succeeded the hundred families of Chengshan Guards. Even in the second year of Chongzhen, he went to Beijing to serve the king and fought with the Tartars, but he only suffered some small losses. Unlike this time, he suffered such a big loss, and the enemy's losses were less than one-tenth of that of him.cop> Wherever he fell, he had to get up. He wanted to wipe out the rebels in Qishan City, wash away the shame of his defeat, and prove that he was an invincible existence.

The next morning, when it was lightly dawn, Kong Youde was woken up from his sleep by his personal soldiers, saying that the Wu army outside the city had begun to act.

After arriving at the South City Tower, I found that as my personal soldiers said, there were already smoke rising from four or five miles south of Qishan City. It seemed that the Wu army was burying a pot and making rice, preparing for the siege.

Moreover, through the telescope, we can see that some of the Wu army were running around, conveying messages. Some people had already started to prepare for the camp. It seemed that they really planned to attack the city early in the morning. Unexpectedly, Wu Anbang was so anxious.

Kong Youde hurriedly sent an order to wake up the soldiers who were sleeping. The cooks began to cook. The guards and musket soldiers all went up to the city wall and brought all kinds of defensive equipment to the city wall, including the ten medium-sized Flang machine cannons.

The war horses began to feed concentrate feed, and the cavalry's breakfast accelerated a lot of meat. The meat was more resistant to hunger, and they tried to achieve the most perfect state and could go out of the city to fight at any time.

However, after everything was ready, while he was waiting for the Wu army to attack the city, the development of the next thing was beyond Kong Youde's expectations.cop>The army under Wu Anbang did set off, but it was not coming to Qishan City, but heading towards the northwest, and there was no intention of coming to Qishan City at all. Even the Ming soldiers did not even look at Qishan City, as if this city did not exist.

Kong Youde thought he had read it wrong, so he looked around and found that they really did not stop or intention to attack. Instead, they passed by two miles west of Qishan City and continued to move towards the original direction.

"Sir, it seems that Wu Anbang can't see you clearly. It's like he didn't see you, just heading towards Fushan City!" Qin Zhiyuan joked, not seemingly worried about the more than 20,000 people outside the city.

In fact, this is normal. He has followed Kong Youde from Wuqiao and has a lot of battles of all sizes. Although he does not have a very detailed understanding of the combat effectiveness of the army, he is not blind. Although Wu Anbang has more than 20,000 people under his command, there are not many people who can fight. He is not worried at all about Kong Youde's plan to guard Qishan City for two days.

Not only Qin Zhiyuan, but also the soldiers in Qishan City, they also firmly believe that they can win. After all, from Wuqiao to now, they have never lost even a battle. They firmly believe that this battle is no exception.

Kong Youde was also very depressed at this time. Could it be that in Wu Anbang's eyes, he was so unremarkable? He was still a general of more than 10,000 people, and was just ignored?

He felt something must have happened, so he turned his head and said, "Old Qin, have you not completed the task assigned to you? Wu Anbang doesn't look like he knows I'm here!"

"Sir, you're wronged me. When we came, I arranged the situation with great fanfare, for fear that Wu Anbang's scouts would not know. Later, they arranged some military households to pretend to be ordinary people who fled to escape and spread the news about you here. Yesterday afternoon, Liu Yuanhang sent a lot of scouts and also obtained news from nearby villagers. They must have known about this incident! As for why they don't care about Qishan City, I don't know."

Kong Youde was speechless. His affairs were completely ignored. In fact, what he didn't know was that in Wu Anbang's eyes, he was just a fake.

No matter why for the time being, Kong Youde continued to pick up the telescope and observe the situation outside the city. He saw Wu Anbang's soldiers twisting towards the northwest like a long dragon, and more and more soldiers disappeared from his sight.

Almost an hour later, Wu Anbang's last group of troops disappeared from his sight. Kong Youde was speechless about their marching speed. No wonder they had to walk for three days, which was slower than a turtle.

However, there seemed to be some soldiers and horses in the camps in the south, and there were camps and tents blocking them. It was unclear how many soldiers and horses were.

"Mao Chengfu, send some people out of the city, some follow the Wu army behind to check the situation, and the rest go to the camp there to see how many people are left!"

"Subordinate to obey the order!"

Almost half an hour later, the cavalry who left the city returned one after another. According to their reaction, after Wu Anbang led his army to set off, he continued to advance along the northwest direction, without any other actions. It seemed that he was heading straight for Fushan City.

In the camp in the south, Liu Yuanhang was still the one who stayed behind, but he now has nearly 3,000 people. Except for the soldiers of the 1,000 guards and the young and strong, the rest are all war soldiers. The salt owls have already set out with Wu Anbang.

"Sir, this is a great thing! Wu Anbang is seeking death by himself. Now as long as we get rid of Liu Yuanhang, Wu Anbang has no place to run away if he wants to run!"

After hearing what Qin Zhiyuan said, Kong Youde was also very happy. He was worried that he could not hold Wu Anbang in Qishan. He might retreat before his troops were deployed. Now there is no need to worry. He is seeking death. There is still a little chance of siege of Qishan City. Going to fight Fushan City, there is no life.
