The land of Ji County is actually very close to Xinyang County.

Since Li Xin sent troops to occupy Xinyang County, Ji County thought that he would come over immediately. Unexpectedly, Li Xin stayed in Xinyang County and did not make any moves. Although it is said that there are a lot of scout scouts, the imaginary army has not appeared.

This is not necessarily a good thing for the whole of Ji County. Especially when they learned that the Huashan army was constantly arriving and the number of Huashan troops outside Xinyang County was increasing day by day, they were even more worried.

Because he was worried that Li Xin would come to attack every day, the entire county was panicked. As for the rest of the county, the people didn't feel much about it, after all, it was not the first time they had seen the flames of war.

The people who are afraid will naturally flee to the mountains to avoid disaster, and those who are not afraid will naturally stay at home. The officials and people in the county town were frightened day and night and worried. So, when Li Erhei's army arrived, the county commander of Jixian County simply opened the city and surrendered.

He was smart enough to know that with a small city like his own, it was impossible to stop it. What's more, there is an example of Xinyang County's order in front, and if you surrender, how many deaths and injuries can be avoided! Thanks to his acquaintance, Huashan Army easily took Ji County.

In this way, the original plan to stay here was not carried out in the end, and after leaving 300 soldiers and horses to garrison, Li Xin and the others went directly to the west and rushed to Xinxing County.

Xinxing County is located on the south bank of Weishui, and in its southwest there is another river, called Nanchuan Shui, which is remitted into Weishui in the county. And follow this Nanchuan water to the southwest for more than ten miles, and then turn to the west to follow the Zhangchuan water west to Yan County!

The water of the Zhangchuan River is actually the Zhanghe River of later generations, and Xinxing County is just stuck in such a key position, blocking the road to the west and north. At the same time, it is also one of the three counties used to defend against Qiuchi, but now it is used to defend against the Huashan army.

In the past, this place was given to Fu Fei by Fu Jian, who was the emerging king who fought against the Huashan Army in Guanzhong and was killed by Li Xin.

Because there are 3,000 soldiers and horses guarding here, and Fu Sheng also sent his younger brother Yan Wang Fu Wu to guard it. Therefore, it is naturally impossible to look at the wind directly like Xinyang and Ji County.

When Li Erhei arrived first, the city was heavily guarded, and he was ready to defend the city. Seeing that this was the case, Li Erhei didn't talk nonsense, and after taking a look at it, he immediately ordered the siege of the city.

By the time Li Xin led the team to arrive, Li Erhei had already been fighting for half an hour.

"It seems that Fu Sheng also understands the importance of this place, and has decided to stick to it!" The army stopped on the spot, and Li Xin, Zhou Tong and other generals climbed the dirt slope on the side to observe the battle in front from a distance.

"This county is a key road, and it is on the bank of the Weishui River! There are high mountains and steep cliffs on both sides, and if there is only one road, it is not easy to pass! Zhou Tong looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help frowning.

"Looks like we're going to be able to storm it. Although it may be a little more damaging in this way, there is no way to do it. It's a pity that the march is inconvenient, and we haven't brought any siege equipment with us, and it is too difficult to rely only on these simple siege ladders! Peng Lin also sighed.

"If you can't attack by force, after a long time, the enemy will inevitably detect our plans. Zhou Tong, you take a thousand men and horses, go south, find local natives as guides, and see if you can detour from the south to the west of Xinxing County. In this way, under the two-way attack, the chance of success is greater! Li Xin was a little worried, and after being silent for a while, he said to Zhou Tong.

"Okay, I'll do it!" Zhou Tong hurriedly turned around and arranged.

Weishui flows next to Xinxing County, and Weishui originally went all the way south from Xiangwu County, but when it arrived at Xinxing County, it basically began to turn. On both sides of the Weishui, there are many rivers flowing into it, so although both sides are covered with mountains and forests, it is possible to find a road to the west of Xinxing County.

Since he didn't know how long it would take Zhou Tong to get around, Li Xin had to wait patiently.

"Let's go and have a look!" After looking at it from a distance for a while, Li Xin said to Peng Lin and the others.

Immediately, the army began to move forward, and the garrison was outside Xinxing City, lined up in an orderly formation without making a sound. In this way, it put great pressure on the defenders in Xinxing County.

Although Li Erhei and his soldiers fought hard to attack the city, they were very heroic, but there were many enemies in the city. Therefore, after attacking continuously for more than an hour, there was no progress, but more than 100 people were injured.

As a result, the generals were in flames, and everyone asked for battle, wanting to go to the front to attack the city.

"Go and cut down the trees, build the siege equipment, and try to have everything ready by tomorrow." Li Xin did not let them come forward to participate in the battle, and after looking at it, he ordered.

There are mountains and forests all around, and there are a lot of trees, so it is very easy to use local materials to make siege equipment. After receiving the order, the army immediately moved and rushed to the mountains on both sides to cut down trees.

With such a big movement, it is impossible not to see it in Xinxing County.

"King, it seems that Li Xin is planning to build siege equipment and step up the siege. With our troops, it is already difficult to resist Li Erhei's attack, and if the other party adds a lot of siege equipment, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to resist! At the head of the city, a general said to Fu Wu, obviously very worried.

"The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming! No matter what means the enemy uses, will we not defend it? Let's fight! We can block one day at a time, as long as we can buy more time for Your Majesty to prepare! Of course, Fu Wu also knew this, but he didn't have a better way. If he had 10,000 elite soldiers under his command, I am afraid that he would not have spoken in such a negative tone.

"Then let's fly to inform Your Majesty, so that the imperial court can prepare as soon as possible!" The general said again.

"I still need you to say that since he found out that the Huashan army was approaching, this king has already sent people to Xiangwu County. Now not only Xiangwu County, but also Zhongtao, Zhengdao and other counties are also ready to fight. Here, once we can't resist it, we can only retreat to Zhongtao County and stop the Huashan Army with the defenders there! Fu Wu glanced at him and said lightly.

Knowing that there was still a way out, several generals around him couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. After all, who would want to die if they could live.

In Xinxing County, the people have been forced to go to the city to help defend it, and for the sake of defense, many people's houses have been directly demolished and used as rolling wood. And Li Erhei under the city, at this time, he personally went into battle with his armor, but in the face of the counterattack on the city, he couldn't climb the city for a while.

"Dangdangdang......!" Just as the army was attacking the city, the sound of gold suddenly came from the array. Hearing this sound, the besiegers withdrew directly.

"What's going on? Why was the order suddenly given for the withdrawal of troops? Kill a little longer, and I'll be on top of the city!" Li Erhei was angry when he was angry, and after he came back, he spoke more impulsively.

"This is the general's order, saying that after the general comes back, he will go directly to the Chinese military tent to see him!" The soldier in charge of the military flag and command saw his appearance and couldn't help but say with a bitter face.

Hearing this, Li Erhei stopped talking nonsense and strode towards Li Xin's Chinese army tent.

"Han Tang, how can you fight well and let me withdraw at once? It's still early before dark! In the Chinese military tent, only Li Xin, Hu Tian, Peng Lin and Tu Qi were there, and Li Erhei walked into the tent and shouted.

"What, I gave the order, do you still have an opinion?" When Li Xin heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head, looked at him, and said lightly.

"How can that! I just wonder why not attack, of course not having an opinion on your orders! As soon as Li Erhei saw Li Xin's face, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly changed his smile to say with a smile.

"I naturally have my reason for calling you back. Sit down first! Attacking the emerging county town is not something that can be completed immediately! The lives of our soldiers are very precious, and we can't let them make such a meaningless sacrifice! After the siege equipment is built, it's not too late to attack! Li Xin didn't blame him, after all, he knew his temper, but this wind could not rise, and he still had to have the attitude he should have.

"When will that be?" Li Erhei listened and couldn't help asking.

"It should be fast, the army is moving together, and the speed is very fast. Besides, we don't need a lot of equipment, as long as there are a few planes, it is enough for us to open a gap! Peng Lin replied from the side.

"When the time comes, I will personally go into battle with you and lead the Mo Daomen to kill the city!" Li Xin continued.

Although the Mo Knife Hand is most effective in field battles, it is also a good choice if it is used to siege cities. After all, once one person stands at the head of the city, it is almost unstoppable, and it can buy a lot of time for the soldiers behind.

It's just that the armor on his body is too heavy, and the Mo knife is not light! Therefore, during the big battle, the armor must be taken off and used for a short siege, not for a continuous siege! It's a really good steel to use on the blade.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" When Li Erhei heard this, he didn't ask any more.

The siege of Xinxing City is over for the time being. However, whether it is the defenders in the city or the soldiers and horses of Huashan outside the city, everyone knows that this matter does not end here.

The Huashan army is stepping up preparations for the next day's siege, and Fu Wu and others in the city are also seizing the time to recover and recuperate, and more defense materials are being transported to the city head to deal with the next day's battle.

On this night, everyone was busy with their own business. Zhou Tong, on the other hand, led a part of the men and horses, under the guidance of the guide, quietly detoured from the mountains to the west side of Xinxing County.
