Seeing that the situation in Liyang City was urgent, Hua'an did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered the army to speed up, and nearly 30,000 horses advanced in the direction of Liyang City at the fastest speed.

Among them, Hua An personally led 6,000 cavalry to the forefront, and more than 20,000 infantry followed.

#######

In the direction of Liyang City, the Northern Expeditionary Army defending the city was already exhausted, and the casualties among the soldiers were extremely heavy, if it weren't for Han Qian's good command, the city would have been broken by the Zhao army.

After repelling several rounds of strong attacks by the Zhao army in a row, the officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army leaned on the women's wall tiredly, taking advantage of the gap between the battles to take a break.

Han Qian and Chen Xiong slowly patrolled the city wall, looking at their tired and scarred subordinates, and both of them frowned.

"General, the casualties of the soldiers are too great, and now there are less than thirty percent of the soldiers who can still hold on to defending the city, and all of them are wounded, even the general is injured, how long can Liyang City hold out?" Chen Xiong leaned on the female wall with one hand, his face revealing hidden worry.

Hearing this, Han Qian glanced at his injured arm, looked up at the outside of the city, and said in a deep voice: "Our army is tired and tired, and the army of Zhao outside the city is no better, as long as we can hold out for another day, as soon as the army led by Hua'an arrives, we will be victorious." ”

"What the general said is that as long as our army holds out for one more day, the army of Zhao will inevitably collapse." Chen Xiong slapped the women's wall and shouted in agreement.

"General, the enemy is coming up again." A soldier reminded.

"These brutes are really endless." Chen Xiong scolded.

Han Qian glanced outside the city, and when he saw that the enemy army was attacking again, he didn't dare to slack off in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Soldiers, get up quickly, the enemy army is attacking, and I will defend the city." ”

Hearing the order, the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army dragged their tired bodies, stood up with difficulty, picked up the broken weapons in their hands, and fought a bloody battle with the Zhao army that attacked the city.

At this time, the army of Zhao attacked the city on three sides, among which the west gate direction had the most soldiers and horses, and this was also the place where Han Qian personally guarded, and the siege men and horses at the north gate and the east gate were relatively few.

However, Shi Hu's main attack direction was not the West Gate, which had the most siege soldiers and horses, but the North Gate attacked by Peach Leopard, because among the siege soldiers and horses at the North Gate, there were 1,000 elites of the Longteng Dead Soldier Battalion led by Hou Ba.

These thousand soldiers and horses are carefully selected from the entire Longteng Guards, and they are an extremely elite force, as Shi Hu's personal guards, they will not fight under normal circumstances, but at this time it has come to the time of life and death, Shi Hu assigned them to Peach Leopard, and also wanted Peach Leopard to be the first to attack Liyang City, in order to wash away the shame of the last defeat.

The Longteng Dead Battalion really did not disappoint Shi Hu, they were well-equipped and brave, and they caused a great psychological shock to the Northern Expeditionary Army defending the city as soon as they went into battle.

The soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army defending the city, tired for a long time, were not the opponents of the Longteng Dead Soldier Battalion at all, not long after the siege, the first warrior of Longteng, the battalion owner Hou Ba killed the city, and then more and more Longteng guards killed it, and soon completely controlled the city wall.

The battalion owner Hou Ba took the Longteng guards and slashed frantically along the city wall to the Northern Expeditionary Army defending the city, and some of the guards killed the city wall and opened the gate of the north gate of Liyang City.

Seeing Houba break through the north gate, Taobao was overjoyed and hurriedly urged his 10,000 soldiers to kill in the city.

######

In the direction of the west gate of Liyang City, Han Qian was commanding the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army, resisting the attack of the Zhao army to the death, and the shouts of killing spread throughout the entire West Gate.

"Soldiers, our army's 30,000 reinforcements are not far away, hold on, you must hold the city." Han Qian's voice was hoarse, and he loudly boosted morale.

"Kill, die!" The soldiers under his command tried their last strength and used their own flesh and blood to guard the city of the Great Jin.

"General, the north gate is lost, the north gate is lost." Just when the West Gate was in full swing, a junior colonel who came from the direction of the North Gate told the fact that the North Gate was lost.

When Han Qian heard this, his heart was shocked, and his body shook a few times involuntarily.

"General, General, what's wrong with you." Adjutant General Chen Xiong hurriedly supported Han Qian.

"Quick, quickly lead the troops to recapture the north gate, Liyang City can't be lost." Han Qian struggled to his feet and gave Chen Xiong an order to reinforce the North Gate.

Chen Xiong shook his head and said helplessly: "General, our army has no soldiers and horses to reinforce, and Liyang City is only afraid that it will be lost."

"General, more than 10,000 enemy soldiers and horses are constantly killing Liyang City, and our army can no longer hold the city." Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes were red, and he was very helpless.

"Liyang City, Liyang City really failed to defend it!" Han Qian raised his head, sighed slightly, then looked back at the soldiers beside him, and said loudly: "Where is Qin Yong." ”

"General, what do you command?" Qin Yong hurriedly stood up from the crowd, looking at Han Qian with red eyes, and he had the momentum of never giving up.

"Qin Yong, you immediately lead a team of men and horses to burn all the grain and grass in the city, and not a single grain of grain can be left for the enemy, go quickly." Han Qian stared at him and gave an order.

Qin Yong grinned and shouted loudly, "The last general will take orders." After speaking, he led dozens of soldiers to rush down the city wall.

"General, Liyang City has been lost, let's retreat quickly! If you don't leave, it's too late. Chen Xiong urged.

"Haha!" Han Qian laughed miserably and said with emotion: "This battle is because the general underestimated the combat power of the Longteng Guard, thinking that he could hold Liyang for two months with an army of 10,000, but he didn't expect it to last for more than a month, and the combat power of the Longteng Guardian is really not to be underestimated." ”

"General, now is not the time to sigh, you have to evacuate Liyang as much as possible." Chen Xiong urged again.

"The eldest husband Ma Ge shrouded in luck, he will lose the city, how can he still have the face to meet the people of Jiangnan." Han Qian had the idea of martyrdom.

"General, the last general has followed the general for many years, and he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, the so-called green mountains are here, not afraid of no firewood, besides, tens of thousands of people in the city also need the protection of the general, general, take the people to evacuate together!" Chen Xiong persuaded.

Han Qian was stunned when he heard this, nodded and said, "Okay, let the soldiers protect the people and retreat in the direction of the south gate." ”

In fact, after the north gate was broken by the Zhao army, some of the people who got the news helped the old and the young to evacuate in the direction of the south gate, but without Han Qian's order, the soldiers defending the city did not dare to open the city gate.

Now, Han Qian has given the order to evacuate, and the soldiers defending the city immediately opened the city gate and let the people rush outside the city.

Han Qian, Chen Xiong, and less than a thousand soldiers followed behind the people, rushing in the direction of the ferry.

After leaving the city, Han Qian glanced back, there were still many people behind him, who were rushing outside the city, but more people were still in the city, maybe they were reluctant to leave their hometowns, maybe they had been blocked by the Zhao soldiers who rushed into the city to escape south, maybe they had been slashed by the cruel Dragon Teng Guards.

No matter what the result, Han Qian's troops were weak at this time, and he had no ability to save them, so he could only watch the people become fish on the chopping block of the soldiers of Zhao State.
