It’s not that the defenders are timid and dare not leave the city. On the contrary, many generals request to leave the city to fight because this is really frustrating.

However, Qian Lianghan and Zhu Zhiyi firmly opposed it. They were both relatively steady people and did not dare to take this risk. It would be great to wait steadily for Wang Daochun to lead Fubiao Camp.

If the troops are sent out of the city to fight, the rebels may not be wiped out if they win. However, once the battle is unfavorable and they are defeated, it will be a confusing question whether to let the defeated soldiers enter the city at that time. Let them in, and the enemy may rush in directly by opening the city gate.

If you don't let it in, you will lose so many people in vain, and your morale will be hit. If the rebels attack the city again, the difficulty of defending the city will increase a lot. In short, it is not cost-effective to go out of the city to fight.

Seeing that the Qingzhou garrison did not leave the city no matter what, Kong Youde was helpless. In the evening, he brought all his troops back to Donggao Town.

After returning to Donggao Town, he learned about the combat situation of the scout squads. Overall, it was pretty good, but he still felt a little distressed.

There were 8 cavalry teams with 10 cavalry teams fighting with the Ming army's reconnaissance cavalry, with five wins and one loss, and two more games were considered draws. Both sides deceived the victory and loss. On their side, there were 31 casualties, including a team leader, which was not bad.

The team leader who died in battle was almost wiped out. According to the cavalry who fled back, the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry first appeared at that time, and the number of people on both sides was equal. The enemy launched a raid. Their team was defeated. Except for the three people who fled back, the remaining eighteen people, including the team leader, were all killed.

The configuration of the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry is not completely unified on Kong Youde's side. Some are in teams of ten people, some are in teams of twenty people, and some are in teams of five and six people, or two or three people, which is quite chaotic.

As long as Kong Youde encounters enemy reconnaissance cavalry with a relatively small number of people, he will basically not suffer any losses.

Fortunately, overall, it was still victorious. The enemy level brought back was 62, more than 30 war horses, more than ten pairs of armor, and many other weapons.

Kong Youde was quite satisfied with this result. Among the more than 200 cavalry, the real cavalry was the ten personal soldiers, and the rest were just infantry riding horses. It was already very good to achieve such a battle result, and the team leaders made an indelible contribution.

Then there was a reward. According to the original promise, each level of killing was rewarded with thirty taels of silver and a pair of armor, which was born according to the head of the human race.

During this period, there were also many people working together to kill one person, and there was inevitably a dispute. The team leader was responsible for dealing with these, and Kong Youde did not have the time to deal with them.

The most eye-catching performance was Li Xianneng and another team leader Deng Deming. They both led the team to wipe out an enemy reconnaissance cavalry, and personally killed four and five people. Both of them were promoted to the 100th General Office, each leading five teams.

Together with the team leader who died in battle, three team leader positions were freed and arranged for the three most brave soldiers in the battle.

After returning, Li Xianneng and Deng Deming discussed for a long time, because the situation they had to face tomorrow was more complicated and more difficult to deal with, so they had to be cautious.

Today, the enemy's reconnaissance cavalry suffered a considerable loss. The main disadvantage is that their reconnaissance cavalry team is generally small and they suffer a loss when fighting, so they will definitely expand the scale of reconnaissance cavalry.

When the battle tomorrow, it is impossible to bully the teams with ten or fewer people like today. They may face twenty people or more scout teams.

The next day, Kong Youde continued his trick-firing operation. Anyway, he just started running and didn't have much effort to panic the Qingzhou defenders, thus making Wang Daochun more pressure, and maybe he would take some abnormal actions.

Li Xianneng and Deng Deming, two new generals, led cavalry less than 200 people, continued to fight with enemy reconnaissance cavalry. They discussed for a long time last night and thought of many ways to defeat the Ming army. Today we will verify whether these methods are useful.

Li Jiucheng was not idle either. He took his men and snatched all the surrounding villages and towns. His looting was not the same as Kong Youde. He had no distinction between people and snatched them when they met them. Even a poor man could not grab anything. His soldiers had to beat the man before letting them go.

After a day, there were no accidents. The defenders in Qingzhou City still did not leave the city to fight. The cavalry led by Li Xianneng and Deng Deming did not suffer any losses in the battle with the Ming army's reconnaissance cavalry. I believe that the day before, although the results of the battle decreased, the casualties were greatly reduced. Only more than ten casualties were already a great progress.

According to their investigation, the Fubiao Camp led by Wang Daochun, when the sun was about to set, entered Linzi County twenty miles away, with a number of about 7,000 to 8,000 people, including many soldiers from the garrison, who must have been summoned halfway.

At this time, Wang Daochun in Linzi County's government office was a little anxious. The war tomorrow was about to begin. However, he had a little doubt about defeating the rebels. He would not have such concerns before. He firmly believed that he could pacify the rebels in one battle.

In the past two days, the scouts of both sides have been confronting each other, and the results of the battle after the confrontation have made him worried. The rebels are not as easy as they imagined and are so easy to deal with.

Although the cavalrymen who went out to reconnaissance all claimed how brave they were and how many enemy troops they had killed, the level they brought back was only more than twenty.

In response to this, the cavalry explained that because the thief soldiers were numerous, they retreated before they could cut off their subordinates after they were killed. Wang Daochun was half-believing and half-doubted.

In contrast, after these two days of battle, the cavalry that he lost on his side had exceeded 100, which is an indisputable fact.

Moreover, several teams had no direct information, and most of them were wiped out, which made him extremely worried about the combat power of both the enemy and us.

Even if it is really as the scout cavalry that comes back says, the rebels have many reconnaissance cavalry, and after they kill the enemy, they cannot cut off their subordinates, and the enemies they kill should not be as much as the cavalry that they have lost.

Although there are almost a thousand cavalry on my side, it is said that the rebels also have nearly a thousand cavalry, and the number of cavalry on both sides is not much different.

In this era, the cavalry is still the strongest combat power, and the core of Fubiao Battalion is also the cavalry of this thousand people. Now his cavalry is not as good as the rebels, and the number of advantages is not obvious. How can he not worry?

Although Tao Tingqin swears that the rebel scouts in the past two days are the most elite cavalry of the rebels, which caused such great losses, Wang Daochun still cannot be at ease.

Fortunately, Wang Daochun has an absolute advantage in the total number of troops, so he can feel a little more at ease. Moreover, this battle, he is ready to let Tao Tingqiu go and command.
