It was not until the two cavalry battalions of the main force of the Blood Qi Army appeared less than five miles away from Qingya that the Northern Liao army woke up: The Blood Qi Army had already captured Xiangning, and had even made a free hand and interspersed to their side. But it was already very difficult for them to react at this time. Qingya's troops were insufficient, and in a busy and chaotic situation, they were captured in less than an hour, and a large number of baggage were seized by the Blood Qi Army. Originally, according to the strategy of surrounding points and attacking aid, Qingya should have surrounded and not attacked, but the problem is that Qingya's defense is too lax. If it cannot be defeated, it would be too fake. Zou Shuangwen made a quick decision to enter Qingya, and simply turned the strategy of surrounding points and attacking aid into adaptability. Let's try what Gao Senqi's reaction will be.

Gao Senqi was also quite shocked. He never expected that such a thing would happen. The Blood Qi army captured Qingya, and he had not opened up the situation in front of Ye Tao. After falling into a stalemate, he was actually a little suspicious. Ye Tao obviously did not always keep enough reserves in his hands like during the first day of the battle, but instead made the soldiers turn to fight as much as possible to reduce casualties. The heavy equipment battalion also began to cause explosions on the river beach, carrying out large-scale killing of the Northern Liao army.

In fact, after getting familiar with the explosion, the momentum of this attack method that was terrifying in the past did not change, but the damage caused was not too great. The characteristics of explosion determine that the extreme lethality of this attack is not very high, and it is impossible to be burned and burned, but it is difficult to kill people directly or even seriously injure them in such an open area. Moreover, due to the unevenness of the two armies, the Blood Qi Army has been using the minimum lethality to explode. This is obviously not a killing behavior, but a continuous cause of chaos and delaying the offensive pace of the Northern Liao army.

Originally, Gao Senqi and others thought that Ye Tao had no choice but to rely on this method to persevere and wait for the results of the battle behind. But now it seems that when Ye Tao was adjusting his tactics, Xiangning City had already changed its master. The Blood Qi Army actually captured Xiangning City in less than a day? In Gao Senqi's view, even though he had always had a high combat power for the Blood Qi Army, it exceeded his imagination.

Gao Senqi did not hesitate much and immediately arranged for the troops on the front line to withdraw from the battle and cross the river to recover, and the entire army was ready to move in immediately. Zhang Lixian and others had no temper now, and the war was like this, but it was too unexpected for them. Qingya was captured, and for them it was not just a problem of interruption of the logistics operation center. There are always ways to find a withdrawal. In terms of the food and food stocks stored in the battalion in the past, it should be enough to use before retreating to a place where it can be resupplied. But the problem is that if they cannot get Qingya back, it means that the other side of the river will not belong to the Northern Liao from now on. The Blood Qi army can rely on the Qingya bridgehead to calmly arrange defense lines and release patrol troops. There are airships in Dongping, which makes people even more helpless.

"General Zhang, the army is divided into two parts. I will lead one, about 100,000 people. I will try to attack Qingya to see if I can take advantage of the enemy's foothold and not firmly take back Qingya. If you take one, then attack towards Moyun Ridge and Jinji Mountain. Be sure to ensure that the passage of Jinji Gorge is in our own hands. Once Qingya's attack is unfavorable, the army will have to continue to retreat from Jinji Gorge to Jingcheng." Gao Senqi ordered: "There should be no food and other materials to be collected along the way. Be careful of the supplies of the army. Although the enemy's small troops will not attack blatantly, harassment and raiding are inevitable, let alone airships."

Zhang Lixian nodded and bowed, "Major General, be content with peace of mind. The last general will not allow Jinji Gorge to be lost."

Gao Senqi nodded and said, "General Zhang is ready to go now. I will lead the army to attack in half an hour. Tomorrow... If we can't capture Qingya yet, we have to escape quickly. Once we are bitten by the Blood Qi army, hehe, it's impossible to escape."

No one dared to test how amazing the equipment and marching speed of the Blood Qi Army were. But at least one thing everyone knows is that the Blood Qi Army is a full cavalry unit. Even infantry, heavy infantry, and longbowmen are equipped with horses, but they are not used during combat. And they are also well-known about the abilities of the Blood Qi Army's soldiers. No matter how amateur the cavalry of the Blood Qi Army is, they must be much faster than the infantry of the Northern Liao army. The Blood Qi Army still maintains many marching records now. The Dongping Army will definitely not announce the numbers, but neither Gaosenqi nor Zhang Lixian want to try it on their own and challenge these records.

After Gao Senqi made a quick arrangement, he immediately prepared to attack Qingya. Qingya was not a strong city, but just a small town with a simple city wall. The Blood Qi army was able to go down one after another because Qingya had almost no danger to defend. He had to challenge him no matter what. Of course, Gao Senqi had not prepared to withdraw the front camp at once. He arranged more than 30,000 soldiers to be postponed and pay attention to the actions of Ye Tao's troops at any time. After fighting for three days, everyone felt indescribable about Ye Tao's troops standing, but no one dared to underestimate them. This kind of surveillance and garrison work, and it was expected that no one would take it lightly for the general who led the troops to the bottom-level soldiers.

However, what Gao Senqi did not expect was that the troops he was preparing to attack Qingya had just set off. Before he could run a few miles, a mixed army of light and heavy infantry in the Blood Qi army gave them a moment. At this time, Gao Senqi was still preparing for the follow-up attack of the army in the front battalion, but unexpectedly, the Blood Qi army once again took the initiative to attack at the tactical level when the troops were at an absolute disadvantage. The location of the attack was less than ten miles away from the Front battalion. The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour. A large number of light and heavy infantry, even the archers, seemed to emerge from the forest, and carried out three rounds of arrows before launching an assault. They were as powerful as rainbows, and almost immediately the Northern Liao army was marching in a hurry.

A hole was torn open on the flanks, and then, they rushed left and right in the formation for a while, and retreated calmly under the cover of a large number of smoke bombs released by the airship troops. The casualties caused by this attack were limited. After all, the Blood Qi army did not want to be surrounded by the army at all, but they greatly delayed the pace of Gaosen Banner's counterattack against Qingya. When Gaosen Banner personally led the army to approach Qingya, he couldn't help but gasp. Several crossbows had been arranged at the top of Qingya city, and the Blood Qi army did not hesitate to stack large bags of grain to strengthen the city head to form small bundles. The general flag flying at the top of Qingya city head was the name of Zou Shuangwen, the governor of the Blood Qi army who could not have been heard of by all generals in the world.

Zou Shuangwen came in person? Gao Senqi snorted coldly. The power of the Blood Qi Army is not because of any one person. For the soldiers of the Blood Qi Army, this sentence is a reason for them to gather group strength, but for the enemy, it is a reason why they are not afraid of anyone in the Blood Qi Army. Whether it is Ye Tao or Zou Shuangwen, they can control the Blood Qi Army, but how much combat power can be added to the Blood Qi Army is doubtful. Compared with Ye Tao, who has a real record in perseverance, Zou Shuangwen, in the eyes of many people, Zou Shuangwen can only sit in this seat because of his good luck and good family background. The so-called competition for employment, relying on internal competition, etc., in the eyes of people from other countries, they have never taken it seriously.

"Gaosen Banner is here." Zou Shuangwen also discovered Gaosen Banner at the same time, but the staff's reminder only passed by his heart, and he did not pay much attention. He said lightly: "There are only eight thousand people here... Gaosen Banner is so grand again." There was a burst of laughter around.

"Sir, the airship team sent a military notice from Marshal Ye: the front battalion of Gaosen Banner has stopped attacking. Our general rested on site for two hours before turning on the attack." A scout came over and recited.

"Okay, they have been fighting Marshal Ye for three days to see how long it will take for Marshal Ye to break through their front camp. Haha." Zou Shuangwen was relaxed. "Remember, we are just covering up here, and we must make the other party believe that we are the main force here. Then...haha..."

Zou Shuangwen didn't finish speaking, but everyone would smile. The three battalions of Blood Kidney Army had enough combat power to guard this small city, especially the large amount of good things were stocked up here. The rest of the troops were now in a state of lurking and gathering. Zou Shuangwen felt that he was now teasing a poisonous snake with a stick, so let the poisonous tongue bite it first, waiting to pull the poisonous snake out of the tree hole. When it could not shrink back, the stick hit it seven inches and it would kill it.

In Xiangning City, this was another scene. The soldiers who had been transported by the airships to guard Xiangning, which relieved the soldiers who were slightly injured but still insisted on their posts and went to find a place to sleep and rest. After they woke up, they found that there were more than five times more friendly troops in the city. They climbed to the top of the city, and the scene they saw shocked them. On one side, the flags they were very familiar with were not far away, and a rolling iron stream was heading towards Xiangning City: Tianxuan Army was coming. They were originally planning to make a move in the later stage of the Northern Liao Dynasty.
