In the early morning, the sun rose, the fog cleared, and the fierce drums beat. Su Dingfang launched another attack on Hejian County, and Cheng Yaojin had to lead his crooked melons and jujubes to the front of the battle to take on the responsibility for the first battle.

A wave of attack missions, and the target of the attack is the city gate. This location is the most dangerous and has the highest casualty rate.

Cui Zijian stood next to Cheng Yaojin's bay-red horse with a sword and shield in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "General Cheng, what should we do now? Su Dingfang doesn't trust us. He is clearly asking us to die as cannon fodder."

Cheng Yaojin stared at the city gate in the distance and said calmly: "We are new here. If we don't express anything, how can Su Dingfang trust us? Now it's just a knife to extend his head, and it's also a knife to shrink his head. What else can we do? Fight hard.

Bar."

Cui Zijian turned around and glanced at the supervisory team behind him, who were watching eagerly. It was obvious that if people like him dared to retreat, they would be hit by arrows and knives immediately. Now he could only bite the bullet.

"Attack!" Cheng Yaojin waved his battle ax, and Cui Zijian and others formed a shield formation and rushed towards the city gate. The bandits swarmed behind and ran forward, shouting and screaming to cheer them up.

It seems quite impressive.

Hejian County originally had a moat, but it has been filled in, so Cheng Yaojin and others quickly rushed across the moat. At this time, the archers on the city head also launched, and arrows rained down, forming a formation.

The scattered bandits killed and injured dozens of people on the spot, and the rest were so frightened that they turned around and fled. As a result, the supervising team behind them killed several of them with knives. They were so frightened that they turned back to attack the city.

At this time, Cheng Yaojin, Cui Zijian and others finally braved the rain of arrows and attacked the city gate. Rolling logs, rocks and hot oil fell on them one after another. Many people were immediately burned and injured.

Unspeakable.

"Attack!" Cheng Yaojin swung his giant ax and struck at the city gate, causing sawdust to fly.

Su Dingfang had been observing from behind. When he saw what happened, he couldn't help but praise: "Cheng Yaojin is truly a fierce general. Give me the order to launch a fierce attack from both wings to disperse the strength of the defenders."

The war drums beat loudly again, and the two Dou armies attacked the city wall from both wings. Siege vehicles, arrow towers, and ladders were also pushed forward, and the soldiers climbed up to the top of the city one after another.

After fighting fiercely for nearly an hour, Cheng Yaojin and others were finally allowed to retreat and rest. The casualties were quite heavy. Nearly 400 minions were killed and more than 100 were injured. Even a hundred Youzhou soldiers among them were killed.

Seven people were killed and more than 20 people were injured.

Cui Zijian's left leg was burned by hot oil. Although it was not disabled, it still affected his movement. Cheng Yaojin's head was also smashed by a stone. Fortunately, the injury was not serious. He only bled some. Now he is bandaged like

Looks like Asan.

Cui Zijian was quite frustrated at the moment. He felt that Cheng Yaojin's plan was a bad idea. Today, one third of the people were injured in just one battle. If the battle continues, they will all be wiped out. How can they cooperate inside and outside? It's just a waste of money.

Su Jidingfang was just used as cannon fodder.

Cheng Yaojin was also very anxious at this time, and he obviously knew that if he continued like this, he would probably be killed before Pei Xingyan arrived. It would really be a waste of money.

In the afternoon, the battle started again. A brigade commander supervising the battle team came to Cheng Yaojin and shouted with a cold face: "General Cheng, the attack has begun. General Su has ordered you to fight."

Cheng Yaojin said angrily: "My people have suffered heavy casualties. We can no longer fight. Find others!"

"Could it be that you want to disobey me?" The brigade commander's face suddenly darkened, and he pressed the hilt of his knife with murderous intent on his face.

Cheng Yaojin stood up in excitement. He was a full head taller than the brigade marshal. He looked down from a high position, with his big belly almost pressing against the opponent. He felt full of pressure and said with a ferocious look: "You have the guts."

Just try using the knife. I, Cheng Yaojin, am either frightened or I will support ten or eight of you even if I die. My grandma, I am here to take refuge, not to die as cannon fodder!"

The brigade commander was frightened by Cheng Yaojin's momentum and subconsciously took a few steps back. Then he became angry and shouted: "Cheng Yaojin will not listen to orders, so he will be killed without mercy."

"I'll kill you first, you bastard!" Cheng Yaojin shouted as he struck out with his axe. The brigade commander hurriedly raised his sword to parry, but with a bang, the sword was blown away by the giant axe. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he staggered back.

He fell down and sat down.

Cheng Yaojin laughed ferociously, stepped forward and struck down with an axe. At this moment, a loud shout came out: "Stop!"

Cheng Yaojin's big ax was frozen in the air. He looked up and saw Su Dingfang riding his horse over surrounded by his own soldiers. He put away his ax and took a step back.

Su Dingfang's soldiers came forward and surrounded Cheng Yaojin and others. Su Dingfang came closer and asked with a stern face: "Cheng Yaojin, I, Su Dingfang, have kindly taken you in, but how dare you commit murder here!"

Cheng Yaojin pointed to his head that was bandaged like Asan and sneered: "Good intention? I Cheng Yaojin accepted General Su's kindness. Hehe, I came to join General Dou after hearing about his reputation for benevolence and righteousness."

Whoa, never thought that he was a person with a false reputation. I, Cheng Yaojin, came here to seek a future, not to die in vain. Whatever, this time I will just pretend that I, old Cheng, are blind and I quit my job, so let’s just say goodbye!

"

Su Dingfang frowned and said, "Why did General Cheng say this?"

Cheng Yaojin sneered and said: "General Su, why should you ask questions knowingly? We fought desperately to attack the city gate all morning. We suffered heavy casualties. Even my own life was almost at risk. Now I haven't even breathed yet, so I let us continue."

Come on, why don't you let us die in vain? If I had known that you, Su Dingfang, were so intolerant, I wouldn't have come."

Su Dingfang couldn't help but blush, and said quickly: "General Cheng misunderstood, I did not order you to fight again."

Cheng Yaojin picked his ears with an exaggerated expression, pointed at the handsome man and said, "Is it because I, old Cheng, are old and have something wrong with my ears?"

Su Dingfang glared at the clan commander fiercely and shouted: "What's going on? Didn't I ask you to notify General Cheng to recover from your injuries?"

The brigade commander said with a stern expression: "The drums were making a loud noise just now. Maybe my subordinates misheard it and thought General Su was ordering General Cheng to go to war. General Cheng, I'm sorry!"

Su Dingfang said sternly: "Come here, drag this guy down who caused trouble and beat him with thirty military sticks."

The clan commander was immediately dragged down. Su Dingfang raised his hands to Cheng Yaojin and said with a smile, "It turns out it was a misunderstanding. Please forgive me, General Cheng."

Su Dingfang originally planned to try Cheng Yaojin again, but he didn't expect the latter's backlash to be so big. If he forced Cheng Yaojin to fight again, I'm afraid this reckless guy would really break out of the camp, and not only would he be

Losing a strong general would also damage his reputation. Maybe no one would dare to seek refuge in the future. Therefore, after weighing the gains and losses, Su Dingfang decided to appease Cheng Yaojin, while the brigade commander who passed the order took the blame.

Cheng Yaojin's expression softened slightly, he put away his giant ax and remained silent, obviously still resentful.

"General Cheng and your brothers are recovering well. I will personally host a banquet for you tonight," Su Dingfang said apologetically.

Cheng Yaojin then "reluctantly" squeezed out a smile and said: "That's not necessary. We came to seek refuge with General Dou. We are just optimistic about General Dou and want to win a wife and a cute son. As long as General Su

Treat us fairly and don't put small shoes on people like us."

Su Dingfang smiled and said: "General Dou and this general have always made clear rewards and punishments. What happened today is just a misunderstanding. Don't worry, brothers, as long as you are loyal and do your best, neither General Dou nor this general will treat you badly."

Next, Su Dingfang comforted everyone for a while and then left. Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but secretly sighed, grandma, he finally got through it. Cui Zijian was so nervous that his palms were sweating just now, and now he couldn't help but give Lao Cheng a thumbs up.

, this guy is quite quick-witted at critical moments, but he is also too risky.

That night, Su Dingfang actually hosted a banquet for Cheng Yaojin and others to appease them, which meant that he began to truly accept them. Soon, Cheng Yaojin found that all the security measures against their camp had been lifted.

Two days later, Pei Xingyan finally arrived with the Youzhou Army. Su Dingfang had to stop attacking Hejian County and moved to Qilijing to confront Pei Xingyan.

Qilijing is located in the northwest of Hejian County. The terrain is open and suitable for large-scale field battles between the two armies. It is obvious that Su Dingfang intends to defeat Pei Xingyan with an upright force.

The two armies opened up their positions several miles apart, and the first battle between the Youzhou Army and the Dou Army was about to break out. At this time, another general under Dou Jiande, Gao Yaxian, also arrived with 10,000 troops.

Happy longevity.

Gao Yaxian was Su Dingfang's adoptive father, and he was also highly regarded by Dou Jiande. As the saying goes, brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle, Dou Jiande successively sent Su Dingfang and Gao Yaxian with 20,000 troops north to Hejian, obviously determined to win Hejian County

Now, taking advantage of the fact that Youzhou is now fighting on two fronts, he will seize Hejian County with lightning speed, and then wait for an opportunity to attack Gao Bufan's base camp - Zhuo County!
