The terrain of Shuidong is extremely polarized, and the south is close to the Yinan Mountain, and the mountain range continues to occupy a large area, and the terrain is higher and even barren. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Most of the families occupying this place are small, and due to the barren land, it is difficult to develop, so they are not the descendants of the Yang family. The Xiong family is a typical example, for the Yang family is only superficial obedience, and there is hardly any contact on weekdays.

Jiang Yun asked the Xiong family to come forward, and the more than ten cities that infiltrated one by one with Wulongling as a springboard also belonged to the marginal forces of Shuidong, so even if Shuidong had fallen to thirty percent of the land, it was reasonable that Yang Xiaotian had not found out so far. Relatively speaking, what is the real strength of the Yang family, Jiang Yun is also kept in the dark.

When the news of Shuidong's troops came, not only Lu Xun was dumbfounded, but Jiang Yun couldn't help but gasp. It's scary! 200,000 troops, which is only used for attack, plus the 30,000 military horses stationed on the banks of the Mushui River to monitor the Lu family and the defenders of the cities in Shuidong, the total strength of the Yang family has reached at least 300,000.

How many people does Shuidong have? Yang Xiaotian still wants to live! Even if the mine is in hand, it will not give him the confidence to consume it so much, and in terms of troops, the Shuidong Yang family has been preparing for this battle for at least ten years. If it weren't for the fear that Li Shan would be vigilant, it would be impossible for the Lu family to withstand the last Northern Expedition, unless Shanyue came out of the mountain in an all-round way. But the question is, if he knew in advance, would Jiang Yun still have the idea of going out of the mountain?

If you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster, and it's too deep!

Li Shan can't bear it! No one can doubt this. Lu Xun stepped up his preparations for the war, and almost exhausted the silver in the treasury, and barely managed to gather 10,000 more soldiers and horses. These temporary new armies, there is no need to count on them in terms of combat power, if they want to go to the battlefield, they can only be equipped with the newly created Zhuge repeater, the time is too urgent, the number of repeaters is barely enough, but the special crossbow arrows are far from enough.

All that can be done now is to wait. Li Yan, who has been a wife, dragged Lu Liang to the door for three days and two times to urge, Lu Xun was irritable, if Lu Liang came alone, he would have been swept out of the house a long time ago, but for this new sister-in-law, Lu Xun was extremely attentive, and always patiently and kindly said to appease him.

The battle of Shuixi has affected the hearts of countless people, and the empty heart-raising house has always been overcrowded in recent days. In the anxious waiting, the front-line battle reports continued to arrive in the Lu Mansion.

On the first day, Li Shan ordered Li Mu to be the commander and raised an army of 60,000 to go to Mushui River to resist the enemy.

On the second day, the city of Benguang fell, and the city guard sheep Qiguo hanged himself and died in the city.

On the third day, Li Mu arrived in Suiyuan City and refused to defend the city. Yang Xiaotian raised troops to attack the city without success.

On the fourth day, Li Mu attacked the Yang family's camp at night, killed the vanguard deputy general Yang Lian, annihilated more than 1,000 enemies, and greatly boosted the morale of the Li family's army.

On the fifth day, Li Mu took the initiative to attack again and launched a field battle with Yang Xiaotian, in this battle Li Mu dispatched the elite of the Li family's ace, relying on more than 10,000 field flying horses, successfully broke through the flank formation of the Yang family's army, and annihilated more than 5,000 enemies.

Day 6 ... Day 7 ... Li Mu fully showed his talents, did not miss all the factors that could be used, and relied on tens of thousands of troops in his hands to put Yang Xiaotian, who was three times his size, in the Shuixi Gate for half a month.

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief and applauded Li Mu's outstanding performance, the battle situation suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

On the eighteenth, Xu was carried away by the successive victories, Xu is pressure gradually increased, and Li Mu fell into Mo Yan's plan to lure the enemy into depth, and more than half of the 40,000 troops were lost.

On the nineteenth, Yang Xiaotian waved his army again, day and night, and attacked the pass. Three days later, Li Mu was no longer able to resist, and led 20,000 remnants of the army to abandon the city. Yang Xiaotian followed, and in one go, he went down to the six cities.

On the 23rd, reinforcements from various cities in Shuixi arrived in Sanssouci City one after another, and Linhaitun urgently recruited 20,000 troops to rush to the front line to converge, plus Li Mu's soldiers and horses, the strength of Sanssouci City instantly soared to 80,000.

The next day, Yang Xiaotian's army arrived outside Sanssouci City, and the two armies officially launched a final decisive battle with no way out.

Just when everyone thought that the Li family still had the strength to fight, the bad news came that Li Shan, the current head of the Li family in Shuixi, died of illness.

In the past 40 years at the helm of the Li family, for Shuixi, Li Shan is not just a person, he is more like a symbol, a sign. Even if Li Shan is seriously ill and can't be governed, even if all he can do is lie on the bed and survive, as long as he doesn't die for a day, the hearts of Shuixi people will not be dispersed for a day. Li Shan is still there, Shuixi is not dead, if it weren't for this, Yang Xiaotian would not have lowered his head.

Li Shan's death is tantamount to adding insult to injury to the front-line army, but fortunately, the previous transfer of power has been successfully completed, and the Li family has not yet split into civil strife. The new head of the family, Li Wencheng, also knew that now was a critical moment for the survival of the family, so he immediately revised the book and sent it to the front line, ordering Li Mu to supervise the army with peace of mind, and the 80,000 troops and horses on the front line were at his discretion, and any decision did not need to be reported to Linhaitun.

In order to live up to his father's expectations, he endured his grief and immediately began to improve the morale of the defenders. The impact of Li Shan's death is too great, and he wants the soldiers to be excited, except for real money, he is afraid that he will not be able to return to the sky.

The Li brothers were already estranged, and the temporary concerted efforts were caused by external threats, Li Wencheng's posture was already sufficient, but he never thought that his second brother would not be polite at all, and handed him a pole, and he dared to climb up.

500,000 taels, can Linhaitun still make it up? In all fairness, make it up! Although the emergency soldiers had exhausted the silver stored in the treasury that day, the Li family had been in the west of the water for hundreds of years, and the foundation was still there, although the appearance of tightening the belt was ugly, it was indeed not difficult to move out some silver. But whether this money can be given or not, Li Wencheng hesitated.

Except for the city guards in various places, most of the elite of the entire Shuixi are in Li Mu's hands, Li Shan is dead, Li Wencheng can't control the situation for the time being, and he has silver in his hands, which can add some security to him, once the silver is sent out, his control over the army will be completely lost. At that time, defeat is certainly not the outcome he wants to see, but what about victory? It will also make him feel related, in case Li Mu has bad intentions, the Li family is still the Li family, but Li Wencheng himself is nothing.

Li Wencheng was caught in a dilemma, and his biological mother, Li Shan's wife Wu, was also strongly opposed.

Li Wencheng had the heart to refuse, but thinking of what Li Shan said on his deathbed, he couldn't make up his mind, not to mention that Sanssouci City is the last barrier from Shuidong to Shuixi, and then it is a flat river, and there is no danger to defend, once it falls, I am afraid that Yang Xiaotian will be able to reach Linhaitun outside within two days.

After thinking about it, Li Wencheng finally decided that the silver must be given, but he might as well give a discount. He first replied to Li Mu with a letter, saying that there was no silver left in the city, and he would try to make up 200,000 taels to send to the front line first. In order to show credibility, he delayed the delivery of the money for two days.

It was precisely in these two days that Sanssouci City once again underwent drastic changes. Yang Xiaotian adopted Mo Yan's strategy and secretly plotted against the city lords under the Li family under extremely favorable conditions. Although most people categorically refused, for fear of arousing Li Mu's suspicion, they did not report the matter. Among them, three forces close to the boundary of Shuidong secretly surrendered, and when Yang Xiaotian attacked the city, he took the initiative to open the corner of the west gate, and the Shuidong army suddenly poured into Sanssouci City like a tide.

The gap in strength and morale made this street battle a one-sided situation, and Li Mu was full of scheming, but he was powerless after all. Under the hard work of a group of guards, Li Mu was able to fight his way out, and only retreated to Linhaitun with thousands of remnants.

In a fiasco, more than half of the 80,000 troops in Shuixi were killed and wounded, and the rest were captured by Yang Xiaotian, and a corner of the Optimus Giant Pillar collapsed.

When the news came, Li Yan immediately cried into tears, Lu Liang was distressed, and once again cheekily went to the heart house.

The result was gratifying, the Lu family's preparations for war had been completed, the ordnance was in place, and the soldiers were ready.

Tomorrow, you can send troops! (To be continued.) )
