The Hebei scholars who accompanied the army were still talking loudly, as if they were not fighting, but coming for an outing.

Li Shentong's Tang Army's purpose of declaring troops and showing off their military strength was achieved, and witnessing this elite Tang Army made dozens of Hebei scholars with the army have a lot of high regard for the combat strength of the Tang Army.

Li Shentong listened to the praise of the Hebei scholars on the side, his face was full of spring breeze, but his heart was like a cold winter. If he had known that Wang Bo was such a person, what did he Li Shentong say, he would not have led the main force of the 20,000 Shandong Tang Army to attack Liyangcang alone.

"I didn't expect that I, Li Shentong, would now fall into a difficult situation of riding a tiger. It would have been nice not to boast about Haikou at the beginning. Li Shentong said from the bottom of his heart, he has always been a very face-saving person, if the army is under Liyang City, if he does not hand over a single arrow, he will retreat from Liyang City, then how will the generals and those Hebei Gate lords see themselves.

Thinking of this, Li Shentong looked at the Tang soldiers behind him, and calculated in his heart that he had 20,000 horses, and there were only 10,000 Zhao troops in Liyang City, so why retreat, it was good to contain this.

So Li Shentong thought about the place to camp.

Li Shentong opened the map, and on the map, Liyang was built on the north side of the Daling Mountain.

The west gate leads directly to the ancient ferry of the Wei River, and then passes through Qishui in the west, Dunqiu in the northwest, and Yongyu and Qikou in the southwest.

In the north of Liyang City, it is the city of Koukou, where it is the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty when the scholar shoots Gaolong, he sets up a furnace to make iron here, also known as the mouth smelter, and then goes north to the Zhou. And out of the east, that is, the Golden Causeway, and Liyangdu.

Li Shentong thought for a while, and decided to camp fifteen miles northwest of Liyang, where he echoed Liu Heimin's main army in Zhaozhou. At the same time, Le Duong Cang can be monitored, and in case of failure, it can also be returned to Hanoi.

After Li Shentong made a decision. The Tang army immediately followed the Dunqiu, and the Qishui generation was stationed in the camp.

In order to guard against Li Chongjiu's Youyan Iron Cavalry, not only Li Shentong, but also the Tang army also camped along the river as a major event for camping, and it has been implemented.

At this moment, on the top of Daling Mountain in the south of Liyang City, Li Chongjiu is wearing a big hat and overlooking it from the top of the mountain. When Wagang was based on Liyang. Li Mi built a military pavilion on the top of Da Ling Mountain to monitor the waterway of the Yellow River.

Li Chongjiu, Xue Wanshu, and Xue Wanche overlooked the rolling Yellow River together.

Xue Wanche said: "Back then, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty conquered the world with the troops of Youyou and Erzhou, and set up a camp before Liyang to block Hebei. After Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought each other, they all took Liyang as the place of victory. At present, the Yongji Canal will be opened, Liyang is adjacent to the big river in the south, and the canal is in the east. Beilian Ye, Xiang, Xihui Hanoi, in the view of Weichen, if Zhuolu Central Plains in the future, Youjing is really beyond the reach of the whip. It is better to set up a platform in Liyang to control the military affairs of Hebei, Henan and Shandong. ”

Before Li Chongjiu could speak, Xue Wanshu reprimanded: "Right now, Liu Heimin, Yu Wenhua and not yet settled, Li Shentong is still in Hebei. You haven't even gotten Long, you're already looking at Shu. ”

Xue Wanche listened to his brother's reprimand, and said unconvinced at the moment: "Take the world with Youyan." Only Guangwu has traces to follow, Guangwu goes up the valley, and the sudden ride of Yuyang cuts off the heroes of the world. Why don't you learn from it today? ”

When the two were arguing, they suddenly said: "King Huai'an, the general of the Tang Army, is in the line of Qishui and Dunqiu. ”

Ki Shui, Don Qiu.

Li Chongjiu couldn't help laughing and said: "The Book of Poetry has clouds, send the son to Sheqi, as for Dunqiu, it seems that this Li Shentong is an elegant person." ”

Xue Wanche, Xue Wanshu couldn't help but be embarrassed when he heard this, and the quarrel suddenly disappeared.

Li Chongjiu asked: "Where has Li Wenxiang's Hebei army arrived?" ”

Xue Wanche said: "It has reached the inner yellow. The king wants to meet Li Wenxiang and attack Li Shentong together. ”

Xue Wan said: "Li Shentong has 20,000 horses, our army is less than 20,000, and nearly half of it is the Hebei army. What's more, the Qishui line where the Tang Army was stationed was really not conducive to the display of our cavalry. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Li Shen's skills are exhausted, Wang Bo will join him, he knows that he has become a lonely army, but he can't advance when he advances, and he is afraid of being laughed at when he retreats, so he is really trapped here." Since it has lost its sharpness, what is there to fear? ”

Li Shentong looked at Xue Wanche and said, "I ordered you and Luo Shixin to each lead a thousand light horsemen, bypass Qishui, and attack Li Shentong's grain road. ”

"No!" After Xue Wanche obeyed the order, he strode away.

Hejian County, Gaoyang City.

The city was covered in blood.

The shouts of the soldiers rang out again and again.

The siege of Gaoyang City lasted for twenty days.

The main attacking party was Xu Shiji, a famous general of the Zhao army, who attacked the Xia army camp in the first battle of Yishui, captured Dou Jiande, and established a great reputation.

And the main defender is Dou Jiande's sworn brother Gao Yaxian, who is also a famous general of the Xia Army.

After the persuasion was ineffective, Xu Shiji's headquarters of more than 20,000 people joined Wei Chigong and Xue Wanjun, who retreated from the north, a total of 30,000 troops, and began to besiege Gaoyang City, which was garrisoned by Gao Yaxian's 10,000 Xia army soldiers.

At the beginning of the war, the fierce battle between the two sides was very fierce, facing the 30,000 elites of the Zhao army, Gao Yaxian's troops did not give an inch to defend the city.

The armies above and below the city were all barricades of dead bodies, piled up.

After ten days of fierce fighting, even though the famous general Xu Shiji was under the command, he was still helpless, and the Zhao army suffered heavy casualties among the siege soldiers. Gaoyang City was like a hard walnut, slamming off Zhao Jun's big teeth. In order to conquer Gaoyang City, Xu Shiji had no choice but to use the fire oil bombs and eight cannons made by the Zhao Jun Armory, which were originally intended to be used to attack Liu Hei's base camp Yongnian City in Zhaozhou.

The fire oil bombs were exhausted, most of the eight cannons were broken, and finally on the seventeenth day of the siege, the Zhao army used the eight cannons to stomp on a city wall in the south of the city.

The two armies fought on the city wall for a whole day, and finally the Xia army announced that the city wall was lost.

Originally, according to the general battle, the city wall was lost, and the defenders were powerless, but the Xia army, under the command of Gao Yaxian, still launched a fierce street battle with Xu Shiji's siege army for two days.

The 10,000 horses of the Xia army defending the city were mostly annihilated.

Now the battle in Gaoyang City is nearing the end, and it is in the arsenal in the south of the city.

Nearly 100 soldiers of the Xia army were still resisting stubbornly, and Su Dingfang held a big knife and climbed to the third floor of the arsenal with Gao Yaxian on his back.

Sergeant Xia held the staircase, Su Dingfang put Gao Yaxian on the ground, and pressed the bleeding wound on the other party's left chest, and said with tears in his eyes: "Father-in-law!" ”

Gao Yaxian slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Su Dingfang, and asked, "How is the battle situation?" ”

Su Dingfang shook his head and said: "Captain Liu, Captain Gao, and Captain Gao were all killed in battle, and Second Uncle Lin was cut off at the intersection of the street to cover us, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"I see." Gao Yaxian showed a happy smile on his face.

Su Dingfang wept and said, "Father-in-law! ”

Gao Yaxian said calmly: "You may ask me, why do you want to defend a city that you can't hold at all? ”

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "Father-in-law, whatever you say, even if you go to the soup and go to the fire, I will do it without blinking." ”

Gao Yaxian smiled and said: "Don't be stupid, nothing is as important as your life, when King Xia raised troops in Hebei, what a momentum for our brothers to gather righteousness, now the Xia Kingdom is going to die, what I Gao Yaxian did today is also worthy of King Xia, Liu Heimin and the two of them." ”
