These people who were incited by Liu Fang were often the most familiar with the residents' household registration situation in the local area, so Liu Fang's team expanded rapidly.

Not only was Liu Fang not worried, but he was complacent. Looking at the extremely bloated team, he thought to himself, I am afraid he will be promoted again now.

When we arrived at Wuhe, there were nearly 20,000 people who set out at the 6,000.

This is a giant, and there is no need to say it unexpectedly. When he was far away in Wuhe, Ajige heard the news that an army of unknown origin came from north to south towards Fengyang City.

What did Ajig think?

He was afraid, he was worried!

Now that the enemy is attacked by the north and south sides, although there is no shortage of troops in the city and food, it has a long-term siege, which has a great impact on the morale in the city. Now another enemy army attacked from the north, and the troops are actually 20,000. Can Ajige not worry?

Ajige forced himself to worry, and bit his teeth and decided to defend the enemy outside the city. He sent a 5,000-man elite cavalry to go out of the north gate to fight the enemy.

Look, look, isn’t Liu Fang seeking death?

The stronger the strength, the greater the pressure. Wouldn’t this cause a disaster for his “two thousand army”?

It is said that cavalry can at least serve ten or five thousand cavalry to fight 20,000 infantry, which is as easy as drinking porridge, and it can be swallowed in one bite.

But Liu Fang is so stupid that he is lucky.

From Wuhe to the north bank of Huaihe River, the guy was stunned for three days.

Why?

Walking slowly, Liu Fang's direct "elite" is more than 3,000 Hengyang Guards. He is a "veteran" who has just put down his hoe and fought a battle. Now he can still marching in the more than 10,000 "new recruits" who have never even touched weapons? That's a hell!

In addition, the "new recruits" are all locals. A few steps along the way can you meet a few familiar neighbors, relatives and friends?

So? The road is getting slower and slower, and the more people gather? Most people don’t come for the slogans of “anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty”, “making achievements” or “enclosing wives and children”? Their idea is very simple, just to eat for free.

Liu Fang has food? The grain from Yangzhou prefect Jiang Boli has not finished eating before. Isn’t that? Wu Zheng sent another grain?

What advantages does Liu Fang have? But he can tell the truth at all. He doesn't hide his own personalities and is "luxury" in his actions.

The people who came here were not rejected, which directly led to his team. When he was from Wuhe, he was less than 20,000 people. When he arrived at the north bank of the Huaihe River, there were more than 25,000 people.

In three days, the troops increased by at least 6,000. Tsk tsk... Those who get Liu Fang will win the world!

....

Waiting for the south bank, the Qing cavalry who planned to fight against the enemy outside the city could not stand it.

They retreated.

The reason is very simple? When Ajige sent them out of the city, he had strict orders and was not allowed to cross the river to fight.

It is difficult for cavalry to cross the river. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It also requires enough ferries. Unlike infantry, even if they can't sit on the boat, they can swim by climbing the side of the boat or holding a piece of wood.

Furthermore, the two gates of Fengyang City are in full swing, and Ajige also needs to be wary of this cavalry after they go out. If they don’t come back, wouldn’t that weaken the defense strength of the defense?

So Ajige wanted to defend the enemy on the south bank and catch the enemy off guard when he hit the shore. This was also in line with the tactics of war and tactics. Any army crossed the river and landed on the shore, it was a good opportunity to defeat the enemy.

Besides, it is an elite cavalry, and it can be said to be without a trace.

However, Liu Fang made them wait for three days. Ajige in Fengyang City could not wait any longer, so he ordered the cavalry to return to the city, intending to close the city gate and ignore it.

Liu Yishou's luck was really great. Less than two hours after the Qing cavalry retreated, his army arrived at the bank of the Huai River.

OK, more than 20,000 people, with the order, the entire army crossed the river, and the entire river surface was covered with people, and it was covered with darkness.

If the Qing cavalry had not retreated earlier, God knew that it would be impossible for a human being to float on the surface of the Huai River, but a corpse.

Cavalry doesn't even need to collide. Just using arrows that are good at, the Huai River can turn red.

But God favored Liu Fang, which made Liu Fang cross the river easily. Although it was in chaos, drowned and many people were missing, it finally crossed the river smoothly.

However, it took two full days to cross the river this time.

Liu Fang was also anxious. He thought of making contributions to the attack on the North Gate and not let General Chi take over the credit. He left behind thousands of "back army" who did not cross the river and led the "army" to the North Gate.

But at this time his "soldiers" were still huge, with at least 20,000 people.

....

Azige had to order the cavalry to return to the city.

He didn't want to do so, after all, the cavalry was not good at defending the city and could not use cavalry if they had enough troops.

Then why did Azig order the cavalry to return to the city?

Actually, Ajig wanted to escape.

This battle cannot be fought. There is no news about the reinforcements of the court that I have been waiting for for a long time. The reinforcements from Dorbo, Yanzhou, stopped moving to Xuzhou. Instead, the enemy troops should appear in the north of the reinforcements.

If you really have to wait for this army in the north who is unknown where you come to block the north gate and are attacked from three sides, it will be difficult to leave.

Under Li Guo and Chi Erhan's desperate attack, Ajige finally retreated.

If you want to escape, you must have cavalry, and cavalry must be cut off before they can be cut off, otherwise you will be caught by the enemy.

Azige's retreat was very well deployed. He took advantage of the night to quietly leave the west city and use cavalry to block the pursuers. After the main force is safe, he will deploy ambush on the way and then cover the cavalry to retreat westward.

Chi Erhan and Li Guo were already fighting with blood at this time. How could he think of Ajige, who has always been arrogant and arrogant, want to escape?

Besides, there are indeed quite a lot of troops in the city. According to Chi Erhan, even if the young master sends reinforcements, he may not be able to attack Fengyang City for another half a month.

But what Azig had never expected was that when the retreat plan he deployed was going smoothly, someone was stunned to mix sand into his bowl.

....

Liu Fang came too late.

When he arrived outside the north gate of Fengyang City, it was already dark.

Logically, at this time, Liu Fang should have ordered a camp and rest for 100 miles away from the city, deployed a scout, etc., and then launched an attack on the North Gate after dawn the next day.

But all military tactics and tactics are not effective against Liu Fang.

Liu Fang believes that the iron should be used while it is hot!

He would never think about it. The soldiers would be exhausted after crossing the river and then marched urgently, and they would not think about it. They would mobilize the siege and mobilize morale.

He felt that he still had strength, and soldiers should have strength.

So, Liu magnified his hand and waved his hand, "Attack!"

It's strange that these people really have the energy. With Liu Fang's shout, countless people rushed towards the north wall, but no one raised any objections, such as the defensive power on the wall, such as the main target position of the siege, and whether it was a wave-by-siege, or even the most basic ladder for siege was not prepared.
