At dawn, a sharp horn sounded, which was a precursor to the gathering of troops and preparations for an attack by the Handong army.

Luo Shixin held the iron spear tightly, the palms and backs of his hands were full of cold sweat, his ears were filled with the sound of huge horns, and the Handong army was lined up outside the city in an orderly manner as far as his eyes could see, and simple siege equipment such as ladders and ramming cars were ready, and it was only a matter of time before he ordered the siege.

The real battle is about to begin.

Handong Army Barracks!

Liu Heimin led his generals to look at the crumbling small city of Zhushui against the strong wind, thinking of the current situation, it was inevitable that he was a little impatient in his heart.

Liu Heimin has gone through a lot of winds and waves in his life: the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and the heroes rose together, but the princes who really had the strength to win the world were none other than Li Mi, the Duke of Wei, Li Yuan, the Tang Emperor, the Emperor Shichong, and the Xia King Dou Jiande. Except for Li Yuan, the remaining three, Liu Heimin has all mixed under their hands, and the mix is not bad, he is a resourceful and fierce general, experienced in a hundred battles.

After the uprising under the banner of avenging Dou Jiande, Liu Heimin first defeated Dai Yuanshen, the assassin of Beizhou, and the authority of Weizhou, and then broke the alliance of Li Shentong, the king of Huai'an, and Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou, and captured Xue Wanjun's brothers, and then expelled the famous general Li Shiji, and killed him with all his troops, only to be spared. Even the Turkic Jieli Khan also sent the Turkic chieftain Song Xianna to lead the cavalry to help, and in just half a year, he defeated Li Tang, who almost won the world, and recovered all the land of Dou Jiande.

But as strong as him, now he has to admit that he has met a nemesis.

In the face of Liu Heimin's rise, Li Yuan had to use the first thug who planned to be refrigerated...... Li Shimin, King of Qin.

Li Shi's militia pointed out that the scale of victory gradually collapsed, and Liu Heimin was under incomparably huge pressure and lost one after another. While Li Shimin sent his generals Wang Junkuo and Luo Shixin into the hinterland of the Handong Army like nails to eat his main army in the hinterland of the Handong Army, he and Luo Yi jointly divided their troops to reoccupy various prefectures and counties in Hebei, and had completed the north-south flanking attack on the Handong Army.

Liu Heimin has been in a hundred battles, how can he not know the tactics adopted by Li Shimin?

But what about understanding, Li Shimin's soldiers have always been upright, dare to fight and kill, based on Yangmou, and fight the world's heroes with sincerity, that is, those who are as strong as Wang Shichong Dou Jiande still let him be captured in a fight?

Li Shimin clearly planned to encroach on his territory, encircle the Handong army and slowly shrink the encirclement, and finally strangled him to death on the land of Zhaozhou.

The key to this tactic lies precisely in the small city of Aoshui, which is located on the north bank of the city, not far from the city of Aozhou, which is surrounded by water in the east of the city, and the terrain is relatively dangerous. Occupying the small city of Laoshui meant that the beachhead on the north bank of the river would facilitate the Tang army's offensive in the future, and at the same time could further attack the perimeter and logistics of the Handong army, which was a vital strategic point.

When he learned that Li Shimin and Luo Yi were coming separately, Liu Heimin played the tactic of breaking Luo Yi first and then attacking Li Shimin. However, Li Shimin shot too hard and too fast, and he actually took the small city of Lishui in the first place, forcing Liu Heimin to return to the army and lose all the opportunities.

Li Shimin gave full play to his tactical talents, but it seems that people are not as good as heaven. This tactical plan made a small mistake due to the unpredictable climate problem, and the sudden heavy snow in mid-spring made the small city of Weishui in the east of Zhaozhou become an isolated city.

Liu Heimin also seized this opportunity, knowing that as long as he could conquer the small city of Lishui, Li Shimin's strategy would not be achieved, and only by pulling out the nails in his heart could he find the possibility of winning in this disadvantage. I thought that the heavy snow in the sky was God's help to him, but he never expected that the defender Luo Shixin was as brave as a fight, and faced the sleepless attack with more than 20 times the strength of hundreds of soldiers, and actually defended it for seven days and seven nights, completely blocking his army outside the city.

Liu Heimin got the latest information yesterday, Luo Yi in the north has already joined forces with Li Shimin, and if he doesn't take Lishui City today, his situation will be even more dangerous.

"Wang Xiaohu, today you personally supervise the formation, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil, this big ass water city will not attack him." Liu Heimin gave a death order in a loud voice.

A sturdy and burly warrior came out of the ranks, Wang Xiaohu's name is not bad, and he is also tall and thin, ordinary and can fight, dare to fight, dare to kill, and move forward. A few years ago, he broke Luo Yi, he ranked first, and the two brothers Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche were captured by him, and they could be described as the first fierce generals of the Handong Army.

Wang Xiaohu had rich combat experience, and in a short period of time, he organized the soldiers to die in the city and launched the first wave of offensives.

The drums of war shook the sky.

The small city of Zhushui was originally surrounded by water, but long before Luo Shixin accepted the city of Zhushui, the Han Eastern Army had already built two pontoon bridges, and the soldiers who climbed the city skillfully protected the upper body with wooden shields, and stepped on the pontoon bridges one after another to rush to the crumbling city of Zhushui City.

Seeing that the Handong Army had almost reached a distance of 100 meters, Luo Shixin estimated that he had already entered the firing range, endured the nervousness in his heart, and shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”

The sparse arrows shot out vigorously, taking away six or seven lives.

The only remaining 86 soldiers beside Luo Shixin were all wounded, and only about 50 soldiers still had the strength to shoot arrows.

Bows and arrows were sharp weapons for defending the city, but the damage caused by the arrow array composed of more than 50 people in the face of the dead soldiers who had climbed the city with about 1,000 people armed with wooden planks and shields was really pitiful.

After withstanding the sparse rain, more than 1,000 Handong troops rushed to the front.

In an instant, nearly sixty Han Eastern troops fell to the ground inexplicably, and the rest of them frequently lost their center of gravity, disrupting the neat and orderly formation of dead soldiers in the city.

Because they had to dodge the arrows, they sprinted so fast that they neglected the ground.

Luo Shixin wetted a piece of land under the city, under the influence of the climate, the wetland formed a thin layer of frost, slippery and abnormal, the dead men in the city ran on it without care, how can there be no reason not to fall and not to slip feet.

When Luo Shixin was a child, he was playful and ignorant, and when he encountered heavy snow, he often poured water on the door of other people's houses to play pranks.

The Tang army was well-trained, and there was no need to instruct the archers to take the opportunity to open their bows and arrows, and the bowstrings cracked.

The opponent's formation was chaotic, and this round of powerful shooting was much more powerful, and more than 20 people were knocked down.

The vast majority of Liu Heimin's Handong army were the strong soldiers who followed the northern tycoon Dou Jiande, they were unusually fierce, they ignored the death of their comrades, ignored the slippery on the ground, or rushed or rolled, and arrived at the city, taking advantage of the difficulty of the soldiers in the city to come out and shoot arrows vertically downward, they raised their shields, quickly and methodically erected numerous ladders, and began to climb upward.
