The battle of Lingxiao Mountain completely shook Hebei and boiled all over the world.

In addition to the initial defeat and lure the enemy and lose a small number of men and horses, in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, it was almost impossible to take Lingxiao Mountain Dazhai without spending a single soldier. This battle not only captured tens of thousands of legs trembling, pale Hebei soldiers, but also high-level generals and strategists were almost wiped out, except for Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Xian Pei, Guo Tu and others saw that the opportunity was wrong, and led hundreds of guards to escort Yuan Shao to slip away, the rest of Chun Yuqiong, Han Meng, Fu Zhu, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, etc. were all arrested, and then put into the prison of Dazhai.

Gao Ran and Sha Rong led another 20,000 rounds of soldiers who did not come and had dinner, in order to protect Yuan Shao from being pursued, sacrificed their lives and did not retreat, but were besieged by Xu Huang and Wei Yanbu, plus Huchuquan light cavalry outflanked, blocked for nearly two hours, and finally Sha Rong was killed, Gao Ran was captured, and nearly 10,000 hopeless soldiers surrendered.

In the battle of Ling Xiaoshan's surname, Yuan Shao's more than 100,000 main elite troops were incorporated and disabled, which was the key to Hebei's transformation from prosperity to decline. In addition to Ju Yi's 50,000 troops to defend Zhang Yan, Gao Gan, Xu You's 150,000 horses and Gongsun Zhan could not be mobilized, and the number of soldiers who stayed in the capital of Xin was more than 50,000, most of whom were new soldiers. The whole territory of Jizhou and Qingzhou is added up, but there are only 50,000 government soldiers, and the rest are women, the elderly and children, and they can no longer organize most of the people.

Yuan Shao was defeated by this, and the forces were directly beaten into the trough, if Zhang Yan and Gongsun withdrew, there may still be the strength of a battle, but where would these two forces let go of such a great opportunity, no matter what the purpose is, they don't take advantage of the fire to rob and put Yuan Shao to death?

Hearing the news of Yuan Shao's defeat, the two families almost unanimously raised their elite troops and launched a crazy offensive.

And Ju Yi and Gao Gan were also worried about the battle situation in Xindu, and almost tried their best to attack.

After He Chen's battle, his momentum was immeasurable for a while, and he completely sat at the head of the princes in the world, and no one dared to shake his edge.

And the Battle of Lingxiao Mountain has become a textbook-like existence. Whether it is deception and luring the enemy, or poisoning and drugged in a unique way, it is all talked about and passed on by word of mouth. It's not that He Chen used his troops like a god, but Guo Jia's poisoning method is really unprecedented. Although there were examples of poisoning on the battlefield before, no one had ever done his part, and almost overnight he made the 100,000 army in Hebei lose most of its combat effectiveness and completely become lambs to the slaughter.

Guo Jia thinks that people dare not think, do things that others can't do, since this battle, the reputation of ghosts and poisoners has resounded all over the Central Plains, and it is another brilliant strategist after Xun You and Tian Feng, and his military talent has become the chief military advisor of He Chen, which makes people see the endless emergence of strategists and fierce generals under He Chen, which makes people unguardable.

After the battle of Lingxiao Mountain, He Chen struck while the iron was hot, in addition to leaving 20,000 horses and escorting the Hebei army to merge with the state, preparing to disrupt the subordinate group and distribute it to various counties and counties, he led 80,000 soldiers straight to Xindu City, and decided to solve the problem of Yuan Shao in one fell swoop.

And after Yuan Shao fled back to the capital of Xincheng, his temples were gray overnight, and he was not confused, but he was like an old dragon clock in his old age, and he was gloomy, and he no longer had the ambition of a few days ago, if it weren't for the fact that the two sons didn't want to bend their knees to others, they begged bitterly, and they were afraid of surrendering He Chen, and they had the intention of dedicating the city.

Now Yuan Shao's only life-saving straw is the fortified city of Xindu. If you can withstand He Chen's siege and hold the state capital, how can you still have a chance of life, and I hope that Gao Gan and Ju Yi can solve the opponent and return to Xindu. If Xindu is broken again, the territory of Jizhou will be shattered, the entire territory of Qingzhou will be penetrated, and there will be no backhand power. It's better to surrender directly, and maybe be a free marquis.

It's just that Yuan Shao has no confidence at all, his entire spiritual will has been completely struck, and he had hundreds of thousands of troops in his heyday, but he was defeated and fled by He Chen several times inexplicably, and now the form is in danger, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand He Chen's ghostly and unmeans.

Half a month later, He Chen's army entered the siege of Xindu.

Yuan Shao was already disheartened, and casually asked his eldest son Yuan Tan to keep his word in everything.

Yuan Tan had some means, under the suggestion of the trial, not only collected a large amount of grease, rolling stones, and sasswood, but also mobilized the scholars and ordinary people to defend the city together, and at the same time opened the arsenal, all the arrows, armor, and weapons were moved out without money, and they were ready to be smashed in this siege battle, especially on the four city gates, eighteen giant bed crossbows were erected in each place, and all catapults and crossbows were distributed, and almost even ordinary people could get an iron weapon and light leather armor.

Yuan Tan was determined to stick to the capital of faith until the last moment.

He Chen was in a dilemma, in this case, if he attacked strongly, he would definitely suffer heavy losses, and if the time dragged on a little longer, the grain and grass would become a problem. So what about using martial arts skills to blast open the city gates? Although the situation will be much better this time, the Hebei army, which has broken the cauldron and fought against the water, will also break out a lot of combat effectiveness, and even if Xindu City is taken, the death will never be a minority.

It was Guo Jia, who fully supported He Chen to blow up the city gate with fire and thunder this time, and then let the soldiers capture Jizhou.

He Chen decided that if he couldn't think of a better way in another three days, he could only use this trick.

Early in the morning, He Chen had just woken up, and he received news from the soldiers: Hearing that Yuan Shao was defeated, Ju Yi led 50,000 soldiers to withdraw from Changshan overnight, and then quietly released the news to Zhang Yan. Sure enough, Zhang Yan was fooled, and more than ten of his subordinates were killed together, intercepted in sections, but he didn't expect Ju Yi to be prepared, killed a horse gun, and ambushed the soldiers. Then Ju Yi chased and beat fiercely, Zhang Yan was defeated all the way, and finally retreated to Taihang Mountain.

After the victory, Ju Yi no longer cared about Zhang Yan, but took thousands of troops from Montenegro as the vanguard, and Lei Gong 10,000 as the overseers, and then raised the Chinese army and rushed to Xindu City, wanting to support Yuan Shao.

This is not very good news, originally He Chen was still a little hesitant, but he instantly made up his mind and began to prepare for the siege.

That night, the stage was raised.

He Chen looked around at his generals, all of them were heavily armored, with swords on their belts, their faces were full of energy, and their fighting spirit was high, obviously looking forward to this battle that would determine the fate of Hebei, and they would be able to shine and grab a piece of credit for themselves. He Chen nodded with satisfaction, and said loudly: "After two years of bloody battles among the soldiers, the most exciting moment is about to come. Today, as long as Xindu City is captured, Yuan Shao's forces, if not completely destroyed, will be fish in the net, and they will not be able to jump for long. ”

"The so-called attack in one battle is talking about the present. Xu Huang listened to the order. He Chen didn't say anything at length, he quickly took out the first military token and shouted in a deep voice......

"The subordinates are here." Xu Huang responded with a high voice, and his thighs straddled, bringing a cold and biting friction sound from the nail leaves.

"You pick out a thousand elite soldiers from the Blizzard Legion as the vanguard, and after hearing a bang, the fire is soaring, and the wall gate is destroyed, immediately rush up, the first wave of offensive will directly determine the success or failure of our army, so you must completely control the city gate in the shortest possible time, follow up for our army, and open a green corridor."

"No, my lord, just wait for good news." Xu Huang responded loudly, then respectfully took the token and strode out.

"Ma Yu, Zhao Jun, Hao Zhao." He Chen took out the second medal.

"The subordinates are here." Zhao Jun, Ma Yu, and Hao Zhao responded at the same time, their expressions were calm, excited, or joyful.

"Take 5,000 men and horses from each of you, and prepare more firewood at the three gates, east, west, and north, and burn the gates of the city, so that the enemy may not flee through these three roads."

"No." The three generals responded in unison. Then Zhao Jun paused, and said in a somewhat hesitant voice: "The art of war is cloudy, and the siege of three is missing one, so that the enemy army cannot stir up the heart of fighting to the death, it is my chance to win, but the lord is attacking on one side and besieging the city on three sides, it seems to be ......."

"Hehe, are you afraid that the Hebei Army will see no way out, and you want to fight with General Ben?" He Chen raised his eyebrows, laughed lightly, and did not get angry at Zhao Jun's questioning, but explained carefully.

"Rest assured, the morale of the Hebei Army has suffered a heavy setback since the foot of Lingxiao Mountain, and everyone is already thinking about danger. Hehe, as long as you can block the Xindu City all the time, no one will be allowed to escape. The Hebei army will not only not resist desperately, but will also hasten their surrender. This general has a lot of loyalty letters from Yuan Shao's generals. ”

Sure enough, it was the tree that fell and the macaque scattered, Zhao Jun thought about it, and then he surrendered and retreated.

"Huchu Spring." He Chen quickly took out the third military order.

"The subordinates are here." The man of this grassland, male and entangled, high-spirited, with a very strong smile on his face, looking at his foodie expression, this is not to fight, but to rob.

"Yuan Shao saw that the city gate was broken, our army rushed in, and he would inevitably organize a large army to start breaking through, the Hun cavalry came and went like the wind, the wind was galloping, and you led 10,000 cavalry from the headquarters to save the envoy. If you see an enemy at the gate of the city, you will immediately support it. Be sure to pester them and wait until reinforcements come up. ”

"Xiaguan understands." Hu Chuquan happily received the military token, and the wind went down.

"Wei Yan." He Chen thought about it, and took out the fourth token again.

"Although Xu Huang is brave and brave, his soldiers are also brave and good at fighting, but it is difficult to ensure that the heavy troops are gathered in the vicinity of the city gate to fight in a short time, you lead the headquarters of the "Hurricane Legion" to watch the battle in the back first, if you see Xu Huang controlling the city gate, battlements and other important defensive places, you immediately lead the soldiers to set up ladders, hook ropes, join the battlefield as soon as possible, support them, be sure to suppress the first few waves of the Hebei Army. ”

"No." Wei Shen answered, and suddenly turned to leave.

"Wang Ling, Wang Chen, Xin Ming."

"Yes."

"Once you enter the city, immediately take 3,000 men and horses, no matter how you tear and kill along the way, you will rush directly to the state capital, if Yuan Shao is here, you will take it directly, regardless of life or death."

"No."
