In the middle of the night, the waning moon is like a hook, and the cold moonlight shines on the entire Xianghe Mountains.

Just when Liu Feng and others were discussing in the camp of the Hedong Army in Hucheng, how to recapture Yingmo Erzhou and rebuild the three passes.

In Luzhou Mansion, the long-planned Zhaoyi Army finally sent troops.

The Zhaoyi army was divided into two routes, one was led by Meng Fangli, three thousand cavalry, bypassing Xiangzhou, and the other was led by Feng Dao, seven thousand foot soldiers, from Xianghe Mountain, and the Xianghe Mountain, which was emptied, was easily broken through by the foot soldiers led by Feng Dao, and the sentry tower in the mountain, in addition to sending an alarm to Yucheng, did not play a blocking role.

In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the vast land, the troops shrouded in night revealed their true colors.

In the Xianghe Mountain, there are traces of the battle, which can be seen everywhere, the broken weapons solidified the bloodstains and the broken banner of the Yucheng Tiger Guard, all of which show that last night, the Leopard Tao Battalion of Xianghe Mountain experienced a tragic battle, and the backbone of the Leopard Tao Battalion was emptied, which can be described as heavy casualties, fortunately, Liu Hu withdrew the Leopard Tao Battalion out of Xianghe Mountain in time, so as to avoid the situation that both the Leopard Tao Battalion were wiped out.

Liu Feng took Liu Hu as a general who stayed in Yucheng, there is also a reason, as Liu Feng's brother-in-law, Liu Hu's rough appearance, has his own unique and meticulous means, when he received Xianghe Mountain, encountered the bandits, he decisively gave the order to retreat, and also made the agricultural fort in the south of Yucheng ready to defend.

When the Zhaoyi army pretending to be a bandit, when the soldiers came to Yucheng, they also found that the gate of Yucheng was closed, and the whole city was on guard, Liu Hu was planning for the worst.

On Yucheng, the sergeants of the Tiger Guard, fully armed, armed with longbows, have long been ready to fight, and these sergeants who were left behind in Yucheng, like Liu Hu, are also holding their stomachs, seeing the "bandits" to invade, they all want to fight well and earn some credit.

When the orderly garrison of the "bandits" was in the south of Yucheng, Liu Hu suspected that the "bandits" under the city were the sergeants of the Nanzhou Mansion of Xianghe Mountain, and cleared his throat without humility or arrogance, and said loudly: "The general under the city came to visit my Yucheng, and my Yucheng has always committed no crime against Xianghe Mountain Nanqiu, why did he bring so many soldiers and horses to invade my Yucheng?" ”

Feng Dao under the city, did not pay attention to Liu Hu, after riding a horse back to the camp, he ordered the craftsmen to make siege equipment, this time failed to succeed in the assault of Yucheng, it was also expected, and had to attack Yucheng, although a little helpless, but also had to do it, can not capture Yucheng, their march is a bamboo basket to beat the water, and even when Liu Feng's army returned to Yucheng, they still have to lose some sergeants, fortunately, last night Xiangheshan battle, they found that Yucheng sergeants, is not so difficult to deal with.

Seeing this, Liu Hu knew that this battle in Yucheng was inevitable, and he could only repel these "bandits" with a Qiang knife.

In Yucheng, in addition to Liu Hu, there is only Liu Yanxiong left, and the rest is the people of the Liu family, Liu Feng's mother Bai Naren once again put on the battle, and Yucheng at this moment is once again full of tension before the war.

In the conference hall, Bai Naren sat in the first place, and everyone under him said slowly: "In this battle, up and down Yucheng, when there is a decision by Hu'er, everyone should do their best to help!" ”

Everyone nodded one after another, and just as Liu Hu was about to make arrangements, a rush of footsteps came!

"Report! The bandits have breached three peasant forts and coerced the villagers to come! ”

"What? Broken three farmer forts? I have never seen his army go away, how to break the peasant fort? Liu Hu was taken aback and immediately asked loudly

"There's a bandit in the castle! The inside and the outside should be combined to break the farmer's castle in one fell swoop! Sentry said

"Hey!" When Pan Qingyun heard this, he sighed and said, "Negligent! It's me who was negligent! "Regarding the arrangement of Nongbao, most of the population checks are arranged by him and Liu Yandong, and the two of them are quite responsible for such a negligent mistake.

Pan Qingyun, who was remorseful in Liu Hu's eyes, said in a deep voice: "So, come to think of it, there are also a lot of exercises in Yucheng, and we must strengthen our vigilance!" ”

After finishing speaking, he made a simple arrangement and went to inspect the city.

……

The next day, the autumn was high and cool, but the soldiers of Yucheng could not enjoy the autumn time, the siege equipment under the city, more and more, the villagers were also wrapped in a lot, a piece of black pressure, blocked under Yucheng.

Liu Hu has been standing at the head of the city, watching every move of the bandits under the city, not daring to slack off, he understands that this battle is a test for the soldiers left behind, and it is not a test for him, when he sent a sentinel to the north to deliver the letter yesterday, he assured Liu Feng that Yucheng would not be lost. At this moment, he was not worried about the loss of Yucheng, but he was concerned about whether Liu Feng could once again tell the Khitan army to invade the south.

"Knock knock!"

The rumbling war drums resounded throughout Yucheng, Liu Hu could feel the vibration of the soles of his feet, he did not retreat, he was still standing at the head of the city, and the sergeants who stayed in Yucheng were almost all newly recruited soldiers, and he had to make the sergeants full of confidence, so he must, fearlessly, confront the bandits under the city, and let the sergeants under his command be nothing more than that.

In front of the bandit team, there is a large wooden shield, which is composed of a shield array, and the sound of neat footsteps has a momentum, but there are also a large number of villagers behind them.

"Captain, the bandits are coming, there must be more than 10,000 capable bandits, right?!" Liu Yanxiong said to Liu Hu, he had been in battle for a long time, and he had no fear in the face of more than 10,000 bandits, but like most of the old sergeants, he seemed a little excited.

"I didn't expect them to be able to coerce so many villagers, after this battle, Yucheng will have to recover a lot of effort! The bandits are prepared, be careful, be vigilant, don't make a mistake, Yucheng can't be lost! Liu Hu said in such a deep voice, his face was also heavy under his beard.

The bandits are getting closer and closer, and the ladder behind the shield array can already be seen, with spears, steel knives, crossbows and arrows, once again betraying that they are not simple bandits.

"Hikoo! With the longbowmen, get ready! Liu Hu frowned and ordered,

Liu Yanxiong immediately took the order and left, as the most powerful defense team in Yucheng, Liu Hu of course had to make full use of it, and with Liu Yanxiong's command, he could rest assured.

He saw that these "bandits" were quite orderly in their siege of the city, and there were a lot of people in the army, and they had unified spears and knives, and even crossbow arrows, he knew that this battle might not be easy to fight! These "bandits" are definitely well-trained sergeants, Liu Hu said with great certainty in his heart.

The surging bandits suddenly stopped, opened their shields, rode out on a prancing horse, and shouted loudly to the city: "Listen, the people of the city, we are the rebels of Xiangheshan, who only take money and food, not lives, if you put down your weapons and stop resisting, you can still be spared from death, if today is your sacrifice day......

The words are not finished yet,

"Huh"

An arrow feather flew down from Yucheng, pierced fiercely, three steps away from this ride, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling, which was the city's answer to him.

Feng Dao rode back to the battle, he wanted to rely on his three-inch tongue, coupled with the pressure of the army, to open the city gate, but Yucheng didn't even have a reply, an arrow came, and rejected him.

Feng Dao, who returned to the formation, immediately ordered the siege of the city!

"Bang Bang!"

The sound of neat footsteps sounded again, and behind the tight shield array, the crossbow bolts were wound.

It's close! but before the range of the longbow,

"Chirp!"

A piercing sound sounded through the air, and countless crossbow arrows flew up towards the city.

"Puff puff!"

The icy bolts shot mercilessly into the bodies of the defending sergeant.

One by one, the crossbow arrows shot out wildly, taking away the life of a sergeant in Yucheng, but the crossbow arrows did not stop, and they continued to sweep towards the city, bringing up a puff of blood mist.
