Zhang Tong, a general of the Sui Dynasty, stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, if we surround the enemy like this, they have no hope of getting out of trouble, and they will definitely fight to the death!" I ask Your Highness to withdraw from the encirclement and shake the enemy's resolve; So that the enemy will retreat. ”

Dou Xianniang thought so; The next day, while removing the encirclement to the south; On the one hand, he ordered Liu Shishan to be the general and replace Wang Xiaohu to command the siege.

Liu Shishan is the younger brother of Generalissimo Liu Heimin, although his talent is not as good as Liu Heimin, but he is also very brave. He personally held the shield and blade, and took the lead; Lead everyone to attack the city with a ladder. Li Wan and Xie Zhong rushed to the front line, ordering the soldiers to return fire with bows and arrows, and ordering people to overturn the ladder with hooks.

A big war came down; Both sides suffered heavy casualties; Blood dyed Yangxin City red; In this day, the Xia army suffered thousands of casualties; The Great Demon Kingdom also fell more than a thousand warriors.

Dou Xianniang ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and Xia Jun retreated to the barracks. Li Wan let out a sigh of relief, and also fell down the city wall step by step. At this time, a scout horse came back to report that the enemy behind had retreated; Our army could have retreated from the rear at all.

The people will be overjoyed when they hear it; The partial general Tian Xiu asked the army to quickly retreat from the rear to Beihai or Bohai County, where he was dealing with the enemy; Several generals thought so and echoed it.

Li Wan nodded slightly and said, "Everyone is reasonable; But today the city is tired; We can't go far before we are overtaken by the enemy; Let's go rest first, and then discuss it tomorrow. And they thought it was justified to go back to their camps.

The next day, everyone came to the county office of Yangxin early in the morning, and when they arrived here, they found that the officials of all sizes in the army had arrived; In the middle of the county government hangs the banner of the Great Demon Kingdom.

Li Wan and Xie Zhong led the whole army to worship the banner of the Great Demon Kingdom; After that, Li Wan said to everyone: "Everyone, the enemy has adopted the strategy of encircling three and missing one, and wants us to give up Yangxin; But have you thought about it? Yangxin is the barrier of Shandong, if it is lost, the Xia army will move south and ravage the hinterland of Shandong; What face do we have to meet the elders of Shandong, and how can we be worthy of the demon king Chitose?

Besides, the soldiers defending the city are already hungry, and they will abandon the city and flee, and they will have no health, so I decided to hold on, and everyone will talk about the escapees and Tian Xiu and others will be guilty of the same crime! ”

As soon as the words fell, another group of soldiers broke up and tied up Tian Xiu and the others. Tian Xiu and others shouted that they were wronged and begged for atonement.

Li Wan lamented: "A few of you have followed me from the Zuo Xiaoyou Righteous Army to the present, although your reputation is not obvious; But there is also some hard work. But the Great Demon Kingdom has not treated you badly, it is you who don't know how to cherish it, what is there to cry out about if you are greedy for life and afraid of death? Kill! ”

Li Wan gave an order, and his executioners raised their knives and cut off the heads of Tian Xiu and other six deputy generals; The people around looked dumbfounded.

Xie Zhong stepped forward and said, "Everyone! The main force of the Great Demon Kingdom is fighting with the Turks, Dou Jiande, Li Mi, Li Yuan and other powerful forces in the world; They single-handedly fought against an enemy several times their size. We are only local garrisons; But we also want the world to know that the army of the Great Demon Kingdom is good, and so are the local troops! Fight with the enemy! ”

"Fight with the enemy!" "Fight with the enemy!" The generals shouted in unison, and their morale was high; Confidence is strong.

On this day, Dou Xianniang led the army to the city of Yangxin again, and found that the enemy not only did not flee, but was more powerful. She knew that the plan had failed again, so she had no choice but to personally command the army to attack the city fiercely.

When the soldiers of the Xia army saw that the princess had gone into battle in person, their morale was also boosted and they rushed forward desperately. Li Wan and Xie Zhong personally came to the front line to command the battle, and the two sides fought together.

In this way, Yangxin City has been holding on for more than a month, and the young and strong people in the city have been lost, and even women, children and the elderly have rushed to the city to help hold on. The bows and arrows had long been exhausted, so Li Wan and Xie Zhong led everyone to tear up the houses and smash them down with bricks and tiles. The two of them have not gone down the city wall for more than ten days, and they are all supported by an unyielding will.

The 50,000 army of the Xia State has lost 20,000, and it still hasn't taken Yangxin; This made Dou Xianniang almost bite her silver teeth; These madmen of the Great Demon Kingdom; How the hell did they hold on?

At this moment, someone came to report that Kan Ling of the Great Demon Kingdom led an army of 10,000 to join the armies of Bohai and Beihai to come to help. Dou Xianniang's silver teeth clenched, and ordered his general Meng Zhu to lead the Shanwan army to assemble next to Xinshui to intercept Kan Ling's army; She herself asked her father for another 20,000 people and continued to storm Yangxin.

Kan Ling was afraid that Qinghe would be lost, so he ordered Sun Li and Jincheng Niugai to lead his men and horses to Bohai, and if Qinghe was lost, let them hold Bohai County; He led the remaining more than 10,000 people to rescue Yang Xin.

The two armies lined up on both sides of the letter; At this time, Meng Zhu had already collected and destroyed all the ships on both sides of the river; He looked coldly at Kan Ling on the opposite side and said, "Although Kan Ling is famous in Shandong, he is one of the five tiger generals of the Great Demon Kingdom. But it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. I'd rather see how he crossed the river without a boat. ”

All the generals also echoed the jokes of the Great Demon Kingdom. Kan Ling sneered and ordered the shield soldiers to line up by the river, and the crossbowmen stepped forward to suppress them. Then I saw a group of soldiers from the Great Demon Kingdom, one of whom walked forward quickly with a sheepskin bag on his back.

They blew their pockets up with all their might; tied to the body; Then the teams are strung together with ropes; Then he jumped into the water with a pop; One by one, they gradually came to the center of the faith.

"Ladder! Above! With an order; One by one, the ladders were passed and carried on their shoulders. It didn't take long for several pontoon bridges made of people and ladders to extend to the opposite bank.

Meng Zhu's face changed drastically when he saw it, and he hurriedly shouted: "Archer! Archer! Shoot them down! ”

The archers of the Xia army hurriedly stepped forward to block the attack, but the Great Demon Kingdom has always been proud of long-range strikes; Their bows and arrows have not yet been opened; The rain of arrows from the Great Demon Kingdom has been overwhelming.

"Ahh The pontoon bridge of the Great Demon Kingdom also took the opportunity to drive to the river.

Meng Zhu's face turned white with fright, he danced the mace in his hand and shouted: "Kill me!" As he spoke, he led his own personal guards to the shore and beat the soldiers of the Great Demon Kingdom who ran over on the pontoon bridge into pulp, and the blood stained the letter water red.

"Let the rabbit cubs of the Xia Kingdom see our bravery! Kill! As the vanguard, the sharp knife platoon, under the leadership of the platoon commander, danced the three-pointed and two-edged Mo knife and rushed over desperately.

The two armies refused to give in to each other, and a bloody battle ensued on the edge of the letter. Meng Zhu shook his hands, although he was guarding a pontoon bridge, but the continuous impact of the army of the Great Demon Kingdom also made his hands numb; Several pontoon bridges around it were missed, and their own troops also suffered heavy losses.

In particular, the enemy's crossbow troops shot arrows from the sky, splashing incessantly on the banks of the water. They almost couldn't help them several times.

"General! The enemy is coming up again! The leader of the guards was a little stunned when he saw Meng Zhu; Quickly reminded. Meng Zhu's eyes were full of fierce light and said: "Recruit me to the death squad!" Tell them that if anyone dares to take a step back, they will not be spared, if they repel the enemy's attack; Each person will be rewarded with ten gold, and the official will be promoted to three levels. ”

"Kill!" The Great Demon Nation's shouts of killing sounded again, and they quickly ran across the pontoon bridge under the leadership of a white-faced general.

As soon as Meng Zhu saw Kan Ling personally go out of the horse, he knew that he was not an opponent just by looking at the momentum, and hurriedly ordered the archers to cover the attack. Kan Ling snorted coldly, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand dialed the carving feather, and quickly passed the letter water.

"Take your life!" Kan Ling was still two or three zhang away from the river bank, and suddenly rose up, like a god descending to earth, the big knife in his hand hung on the wind and slashed down.

Meng Zhu also shouted, cheered for himself, and took a step forward, and the mace in his hand was turned from the bottom to the top.

"Dang!" With a loud bang, Meng Zhu squirted a mouthful of blood as if he had been hit by a siege vehicle, and the mace in his hand was also cut into more than three inches deep; If it weren't for the thick enough of the stick, it would have been cut off at once.

"The general is mighty! Kill! "When the soldiers of the Great Demon Kingdom saw that their morale was greatly shaken, they rushed forward like crazy. The morale of the Xia army was robbed, and they secretly retreated with trepidation.

Kan Ling repelled Meng Zhu with a knife, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand made a round, and there was a sound of chirping, and four or five human heads flew into the sky together. Meng Zhu's guards were stunned and hurriedly retreated.

"Get out of here!" Kan Ling's eyes glared, and these people couldn't stop retreating. Kan Ling advanced step by step, and the enemy retreated step by step; The soldiers of the Great Demon Kingdom behind him rushed to the other side of the river.

"The demon army is invincible! The letter is mine! Kill! Kan Ling sneered and took the lead in the charge; Xia Jun was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and Meng Zhu's shouting did not work at all.

"Whoosh!" A bang; A sharp arrow suddenly appeared, heading straight for Kan Ling's choked voice. The arrow was fast and urgent, Kan Ling hurriedly turned to the side, and the sharp arrow grazed his neck and shot over.

"Who?" Kan Ling was also taken aback, and quickly turned his head to look at it, and saw three arrows coming towards him. The three-pointed two-edged knife in Kan Leng's hand waved, knocked one away, and dodged one; The third thump is in the middle of the shoulder.

"Oops!" Kan Ling stumbled and almost didn't throw away the big knife; Meng Zhu cheered: "Princess! It's a princess! Our reinforcements are coming, everyone will kill them with me! Saying that, the rotating soldier Ding mace went straight to Kan Leng.

Kan Ling snorted coldly, and with a knife in one hand, he defused his attacks one by one. As soon as Xia Jun saw that reinforcements had arrived, his morale was shocked and he rushed up with a shout. When the soldiers of the Great Demon Kingdom saw that the main general was injured, they hurriedly rushed forward, surrounded Kan Ling and fought and walked, and slowly retreated to the opposite bank of Xinshui.

"Princess, why are you here?" Meng Zhu was covered in blood and ran to the shore to greet Princess Yong'an.
