In Wuxiang County, Li Xin led his army to confront Zhang Ping's men and horses for several days. Since he led the army north, Liao Chuan and others in the city finally breathed a sigh of relief. But at this time, of the 2,000 soldiers and horses under his command, only 1,000 were left to fight. With 4,000 men and horses defending the city, it is still a half-beaten city, which is really a bit difficult. If it weren't for the fact that there are several fierce generals here, and the defensive scheduling is good, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to hold.

"Liu Xiaohai has sent a letter, Zhang Ping's army of 30,000 has already gone south. But he seized Yong'an County first, and in this way, he blocked the enemy's soldiers and horses along the way. Li Xin, who received the military information, took advantage of the temporary suspension of the enemy army to hold a meeting.

"That's good! If the other side really lets the other side go all the way south, for us, I'm afraid we will have to fight with all the strength of the country. Fighting on two fronts is too much pressure for us! Hearing the news, Li Erhei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"With Liu Xiaohai's ability, there should be no problem in holding Yongan County in a short period of time. If it's even possible, you can keep it all the time. However, I am afraid that the enemy army will be blocked for a long time, and after losing patience, I will find another way out. In that case, Yong'an County will lose its role, and it is really not easy to block 30,000 enemy troops just by relying on a few thousand men and horses over there! After Liao Chuan pondered for a while, he frowned.

"Not bad! Therefore, we must end the battle here before the enemy outside Yongan County has not lost patience! Li Xin nodded and said slowly.

However, Zhang Ping's army was outside, attacking the city day and night, and there was rarely a stop. In this case, if we want to win against him, repel him and make him dare not peep at the party again, I am afraid it will be difficult! Hearing this, Peng Lin couldn't help but say.

An army of 20,000 was not a small number, it was five times the number of troops in the city. Although in terms of combat effectiveness, the strength of the Huashan Army is much higher than that of the other party, but once the difference in numbers reaches a level, the difficulty is different.

I've always been on the defensive, but relatively speaking, my side is much more advantageous. But if you want to do it quickly, you obviously have to attack. After all, siege warfare has always been protracted.

"Since Yong'an County has been taken, there is no need for too many soldiers and horses in Shangdangguan. I have already ordered that 300 soldiers and horses be left at Shangdang Pass, led by Quan Yi, to guard the pass, and Yao Chang and the other 700 soldiers and horses have been mobilized. In addition, from Gaodu, Hyunshi, Changzi and Niexian, a part of the soldiers and horses were mobilized to come, so that we have 6,000 troops in our hands. If you plan carefully, it shouldn't be a problem to defeat Zhang Ping! Li Xin nodded, and then said to everyone.

Hearing this, everyone knew that he had already started to act. In fact, from the very beginning when he got the news of Zhang Ping's southward movement, he knew that this was not something that could be solved by defending the city. Therefore, I have thought about this issue in my heart for a long time.

This place in Wuxiang County is located in the middle of the mountainous area, which is more and more open and flat to the south, and more and more mountainous areas on the north, west and east. Let's talk about this place! It's really not an unknown place, because there was an emperor just a few decades ago.

It's that Shi Le, he is a member of the Wuxiang County! However, with the collapse of his empire, it slowly became mediocre again. But with the confrontation between the two armies today, this place has attracted the attention of many people.

To the east of Wuxiang County is the northern source of turbid water, and this river stretches from north to south. Geographically, it has some similarities with Yongan County, because it is also located in a river valley and is surrounded by mountains and rivers on both sides.

The valley beyond the north gate is relatively flat and narrow, but now the two armies are fighting. If you go to the side, you can't use it. In the same way, in such a place, the cavalry could not launch a massive charge.

"Judging from our current situation, if we want to defeat Zhang Ping's army, we must find another way. Otherwise, if you go out of the city and fight hard, I'm afraid it won't work! Xue Zan thought for a moment and said.

"Can you send a team of men and horses to make a detour from the mountains, and when the critical moment comes, kill from behind Zhang Ping's army, and let's have a north-south attack to kill the enemy without leaving a piece of armor?" Speaking of this, Li Erhei couldn't help but propose.

This suggestion made everyone's eyes shine, after all, there are so many mountains and forests around, just to hide their whereabouts. Although it is said that a large army cannot march between the mountains, it seems that it can still be done if a small army is sent to borrow the road.

"Let's do it! After two days of the arrival of the army, Lü Guang, you led a thousand soldiers and horses to sneak in from the mountains and forests to the west, and detoured behind the enemy's camp. Liao Chuan, you lead a thousand soldiers and horses to make a detour from the mountains and forests on the east side. Then you all wait for the right time, and wait until the evening is on standby. When the time comes, under the attack from three sides, rush into the enemy camp, and only care about killing the enemy! After such a battle, forgive that Zhang Ping is not dead and only has half a life left! Li Xin also agreed with this proposal, so he should even dispatch troops.

"The last general obeys!" Lu Guang and Liao Chuan hurriedly got up and answered.

Since the enemy siege began again, everyone had to dismiss. However, once the strategy was decided, it became much easier for everyone.

Two days later, soldiers and horses from all over the country arrived one after another. So, everyone acted according to Li Xin's arrangement.

It's the end of August and it's still hot, but the good thing is that it gets dark later and it's easier to pass through the mountains and forests. But there are also a lot of troubles, after all, there are many snakes, insects, rats, ants and the like. Fortunately, there are still many people in the city who have found a guide from it.

When the sky was twilight, Lu Guang and Liao Chuan led two groups of people and horses to quietly go out of the south city gate, and then went separately to the mountains and forests on the east and west sides. And Li Xin and others in the city led the army to resist Zhang Ping's attack, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack by the way.

Zhang Ping's camp was in the middle of the river valley, and due to the terrain limitations, it had to be arranged on higher ground on both sides of the turbid water. In this way, the whole camp became a long strip from north to south. Its northernmost end is at the foot of the mountain at the confluence of the northern source of the turbidity and another small river. The southernmost end is only five miles away from the county seat.

Under normal circumstances, who would place a large battalion so close to the battlefield? In particular, this kind of siege warfare is not at all something that can be ended in a short period of time. It can also be seen that Zhang Ping is careless and underestimates the enemy.

He can't be blamed for that, though. After all, judging from the balance of forces between the two sides, his side has the advantage, and he is worried that it will be difficult to attack the city, and he hopes that the Huashan army in the city will go out of the city.

After attacking for seven or eight days in a row, the county town was not captured, which made Zhang Ping a little uncomfortable. The only thing that gave him some comfort was to see the walls crumbling day by day, and it seemed that the hope of breaking the city was not long before that.

If it weren't for this, I'm afraid he would have already started to think of other ways, and even had to make up his mind to take a detour from Leping County to Shangdang. At this time, he didn't know that Zhang Oyster's side had been a complete failure.

The messenger sent by Feng Yang could not pass through the county seat of Wuxiang. Therefore, he had to take a detour from Leping County and then go to Zhang Oyster's camp. In this case, it's almost a big circle.

In this way, the messenger moved even slower than Li Xin's army. If Zhang Ping knew that his adopted son had been captured and the 5,000-strong army had been wiped out, I am afraid that he would have retreated, and he would not have fought Li Xin here.

"If you send more troops and horses, you must take the county seat as soon as possible. The eyelids of these Japanese officials are always jumping, I'm afraid it's a bad omen! Take the county seat quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night! "The army is attacking the city in front, and Zhang Ping is supervising the battle in the rear every day. In the evening, after returning to the camp, he couldn't help but say to the strategist beside him.

"Don't worry! Looking at the city wall, it is even more damaged today, and I think that I will be able to take this city in the near future! The advisor comforted.

"I hope so! With thousands of soldiers and horses, this Huashan army has just blocked my 20,000 army, and it is really not an ordinary person! No wonder that Li Xin was able to eliminate Fu Qin and occupy Guanzhong in just over a year! If Li Xin can be caught after the victory of this battle, the official will definitely recruit him under his command! Zhang Ping nodded, but then sighed.

I have to say that he is still very confident in himself, but he doesn't know if Li Xin is willing or not.

After eating in the evening, Zhang Ping planned to rest for a while. In the entire camp, the soldiers who had been rotated out had already fallen asleep because of exhaustion. As a result, the whole camp seemed quite quiet.

But what they didn't know was that at this moment, in the mountains and forests on both sides not far from the rear camp, the soldiers of the Huashan Army, who were even more tired than them, were enduring mosquito bites, quietly lurking among the trees, and staring coldly at the big camp in the river valley below.

"Brothers, do a good job later! The knife in his hand can be held steadily, this is our life-saving guy! As long as we succeed tonight, we can sleep comfortably! In the mountains and forests, Liao Chuan looked up at the moon in the sky, turned around and whispered to the soldiers behind him.

Hearing this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, and they wanted to kill them down the mountain immediately.

The battle lasted until midnight, and there was no intention of stopping, Li Xin stood at the head of the city, silently counting the hours.

Finally, the time has come. The city is still in a big battle, but Li Xin has already gone down to the city first. Peng Lin was behind him, leading five hundred cavalry to follow, and one thousand foot soldiers followed closely.

Under the bright torches, those enemy troops who had attacked the city for several days suddenly found that the gate of the city that had been breached underneath but had been repaired by the Huashan army suddenly opened.
