Qingzhou, Donglai County.
The battle of Qingzhou, the war at sea has ended, Cai Mao was brutally beaten back to land by He Qi, and now he has entered the land battle.
For the battle on the land of Donglai, He Qi is also strong.
After he increased his troops from the sea and Guangling, with his strong troops, he captured half of the twelve county towns under the jurisdiction of Donglai County in one go.
Donglai is a peninsula terrain, most of the territory is coastal, and the coastal area has great convenience for the landing of the Wu army.
In less than ten days, Dongmu, Muping, Changyang, Qucheng, Luxiang, and even Huangxian County, all of which were taken by He Qi.
Of course, He Qi went so smoothly, with the cooperation of Cai Mao, Cai Mao was beaten half to death at sea, and there were few troops left, even if there were reinforcements from Guo Jia, there were not many soldiers and horses in Qingzhou.
Therefore, he simply gave up the coastal cities that were unfavorable to him, and took the initiative to stretch the battle line long, depleting a large number of Wu army's troops.
In the end, the main forces of the two armies of Wu and Wei were held in the surrounding areas of Jiaodong and Jimo.
However, Jiaodong City and Jimo City, which are high and thick-walled, have become a barrier for the Wei army, and the Wu army attacked Jiaodong City three times, but they all returned without taking half a step.
The war once again formed a stalemate, and it was also a stalemate that was unfavorable for the Wu army.
Dangli County.
This is a small county town near Laizhou Bay, backed by the sea, and the south side is blocked by Luxiang County, and now it has become the place where the Wu army is currently the commander-in-chief of the front line of the attack on Jimo in Jiaodong.
In the hall of the county office, He Qi's tall figure stood in front of the huge terrain sand table, and his sharp eyes looked at the city with flame battle flags on the sand table.
The cities of these flaming banners are connected into a line, a deadly line.
So, his face was ugly.
Don't look at the fact that he has now seized most of Donglai's territory strongly, and he is about to take the entire Donglai, but his tens of thousands of troops have been stretched by a long line.
Strategically, he has already lost, losing to Guo Jia, who is sitting in Beihai and controlling the war remotely.
The end of this line is Jiaodong and Jimo.
The front fight was very smooth, and the casualties were not large, but if you can't beat Jiaodong and Jimo, you will never be able to take Donglai.
The defeat of Jiaodong City.
All of a sudden, the biggest shortcoming of the Wu army is presented, once the Wei army counterattacks and its own battle line is stretched, it will inevitably be under-armed and at the bottom.
The most important thing is morale.
On top of the Battle of Jiaodong.
Defeat after defeat, again and again, again and again, three times and exhaustion.
If this stalemate continues, the casualties of the soldiers under his command are getting bigger and bigger, the morale of the soldiers is getting weaker and weaker, and the victory of the battle is also tilting more and more in the direction of the Wei army.
"Jiaodong" He Qi took out a small battle flag, stared at it, and slammed it into the city of Jiaodong, and then raised his head. looked at the generals under his command, and said coldly: "Within three days, we must take Jiaodong City at all costs."
"General, now our soldiers have suffered too many casualties, in Jiaodong City, plus Qingzhuang, Cai Mao has gathered at least 30,000 Wei troops and more, and wants to take it on the scale of Jiaodong City.
Don't say three days, three months, you may not be able to do it" A staff officer said bitterly.
A siege is a difficult battle to fight if the city is high and the walls are thick.
In addition, there is plenty of food in the city, and it is not surprising that it will last for a few months, or even a year and a half.
Historically, Yuan Shao besieged Jicheng for two or three years.
Only then did they defeat that city.
"No matter how difficult it is, we have to take it, if we can't take Jiaodong within three days, this battle, we will mean defeat" He Qi heard this, his expression was indifferent, his eyes were calm, and he said very directly: "Defeat will be the shame of our flame army for a lifetime."
When the generals heard this, their hearts tightened slightly, and their eyes were full of unwillingness.
"General, a certain family is willing to be the vanguard, and it is not allowed to take Jiaodong at all costs" Chen Heng, the commander of the 10th Division who had just returned from injury, strode out, arched his hands, and asked for his life to fight.
"General, I am willing to do my best, at all costs, to take Jiaodong" The commander of the first division, Shi Yi, also asked for help.
"Yes, in the difficult battle, we must also lay Jiaodong" "If you don't take Jiaodong, you won't return" "We ask for your life, at all costs, take Jiaodong" All the generals are unwilling to bear the shame of defeat, and the military honor of Wu is extremely glorious under Sun Quan's constant rendering, and they are unwilling to give up this glory, even if they fight to the end.
"General" At this time, a personal soldier outside opened the door curtain, walked in with hurried steps, and said in his ear: "Jinyi Wei has sent a handwritten letter from the king, I must let you personally see it, let you return to the camp immediately" "The King's Handwritten Message" Hearing this, He Qi's brows furrowed, and there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart, after he took a deep breath, he looked at the generals: "You are discussing, how to break through Jiaodong City within three days, I need the most detailed strategy, I will go back when I go" With that, he quickly left the main camp of the Chinese army and returned to his private camp.
In the camp, a young man in Jinyi has been waiting for a long time: "Meet General He" "No need to be polite" He Qi's eyes moved slightly, and asked, "Where is the king's edict?"
"General He, this is the king's handwritten message" "The Last General's Decree" He Qi's expression was solemn, he bowed respectfully to the yellow silk, Sun Quan is the supreme of the Wu State, and his personal soldier edict is equivalent to a holy decree.
"General He, please read it yourself, and your subordinates won't bother" This brocade-clothed guard put the oracle in He Qi's hand respectfully, and then left the barracks directly.
He Qi exhaled a breath of turbidity, stood up, gently spread out the golden silk book, looked at it, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression was a little unwilling.
"Bang" The more he looked, he was not reconciled, his face suddenly turned hideous, and he smashed his fist on the bookcase in front of him, smashing the bookcase to pieces.
"General" Several of the big soldiers guarding outside the big tent heard the movement inside, and quickly walked in one by one, they looked at He Qi's gloomy and cold expression, and they were all startled.

"All go out, a certain family wants to rest for half an hour, and no one is seen" He Qi calmed down, put away the silk book, waved his hand, and said.
"No" Several pro-soldiers couldn't help but tremble when they heard He Qi's gritted teeth and cold and piercing voice.
Hurriedly withdrew from the camp.
In the empty tent, He Qi sat on the blanket a little lonely, sighed, and looked at the silk book in his hand.
Said to himself: "This battle is about to be a decisive battle, the outcome is undecided, and at this moment the troops are retreating and returning, and a certain heart is unwilling" Sun Quan's edict told him to withdraw immediately.
But to withdraw from the army is to admit defeat.
Although Jiaodong is a hard bone, he may not be able to take it.
Won Jiaodong, this battle, he still won, and now Jiaodong has not started to fight, he has already lost.
Even in his state of mind after years of fighting, he was a little angry.
In the evening, the sun sets.
He Qi's voice once again appeared in the camp tent of the Chinese army, and at this moment, in the tent, the generals were fiercely discussing various ways to attack Jiaodong City.
"General.
A certain family thinks that if they want to take Jiaodong in three days, they can only take the sword and attack at night."
Chen Heng was the first to come out, facing He Qi, and said loudly: "We are about eighty miles away from Jiaodong City, and we can march in one night, and we can arrive in five hours, and launch an attack on the whole army before dawn."
As soon as the war starts, they will attack directly, regardless of casualties, and do not give them time to react.
Caught them off guard and panicked, and then pressed the main force, the city will definitely be broken in three days."
"Master Chen's words are inappropriate" A staff officer shook his head: "My subordinates think that although the night attack is effective, it is too much physical consumption for our soldiers.
It was difficult to maintain the momentum of the strong attack, and the Wei army, which was waiting for work, suppressed us physically, and only by opening the city gate could it be possible to take Jiaodong City within three days."
"The Wei army is now heavily guarded, how can the city gate be so easy to open, in case it can't open the city gate, but instead startles the snake, it's better to attack at night."
Someone retorted.
"Wei Jun didn't realize that we would take Jiaodong at all costs, we still have a chance to open the city gate, as long as the city gate is opened, we can take Jiaodong" "It's easy to say, the Wei army is not stupid, they have stretched our battle line, and they should also understand that Jiaodong will become a battlefield of victory and defeat, how can they be careless, and they should not underestimate the enemy" “” Regardless of the offensive plan, the morale of the generals and staff officers is very strong, and they have the courage not to give up until they reach their goal.
"Stop, General Ben has something to say" He Qi listened, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, his expression was a little bitter, he waved his hand and drank.
"General, please speak" All the soldiers suddenly stopped arguing, and their eyes all fell on He Qi.
"We won't fight in Jiaodong" He Qi said calmly: "Starting from tomorrow morning, we will retreat to Donglai in an orderly manner, within three days, return to the sea, and within five days, return to Yuzhou Mountain, without objection."
"Retirement" "Nope" "Why?"
The generals looked stunned, and several excited generals asked with some indignation.
"I also want to know why, but there is no reason, this is an order jointly issued by the Military Aircraft Department and the king" He Qi said coldly: "We are soldiers of Wu State, and we can only accept military orders" "General, once the army is withdrawn, in this battle, won't our Flame Army bear the reputation of defeat?"
"That's right" He Qi said calmly: "Defeated, this battle, we lost" "General, a certain unwilling" Chen Heng gritted his teeth and shouted.
In the first battle at sea, the 10th Division suffered the greatest casualties, and now it has not yet recovered the field, and it is about to retreat, and he is not reconciled.
"Who here is willing to quit the army?"
He Qi's eyes were like a knife, swept over, and said coldly: "But we are the soldiers of Wu State, the soldiers must obey the order, the king and the military aircraft said to retreat, we must retreat, everyone listen, immediately go to prepare for the retreat, who dares to disobey the military order, there is no need for the military police of the Military Justice Department to do it, I personally cut him" "Yes" The generals clenched their fists very tightly, but they could only obey military orders, since the military reform, the rules in the army have become more and more strict, and the military orders are like a mountain, and they dare not take risks. t1706231537:
