When Xu Huang and Tian Yu were in the Yangle City and Gongsun Du to swing the "Dragon Gate Array", an armed fleet from Haiyang Cheng's Weishui Port sailed northeast along the coastline and gradually approached the mouth of Xiaolingshui.

The city is located thirty miles north of the mouth of Xiaolingshui, and many famous battles took place here in later generations, because it was Jinzhou, the choke point into eastern Liaodong.

When Gongsun Du led an army of 20,000 to surround Yangle City, the city was already empty, and there was not even a single mouse left. Tian Yu, who stayed behind, led 3,000 light cavalry to the south without hesitation, easily crossed Xiaolingshui without being hindered, and smoothly joined the first battalion of the boat division that had arrived from Haiyang.

Although Gongsun Du didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, he successfully took Yangle City, so some of his subordinates who went out with him sent a lot of flattery, praising Gongsun Du as if he had descended to earth.

Gongsun Du, who felt infinitely good, quickly burst with self-confidence, and he didn't know what came to mind in his mind, he actually divided his troops in Yangle City, and after leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, he actually led 15,000 soldiers to continue to advance westward, and the target was Liucheng, which was a hundred miles away from Yangle City.

Xu Huang led the army to hide in Liucheng at this time, and the army was more than 10,000 soldiers, and Gongsun Du only brought 15,000 soldiers to attack Liucheng, which was tantamount to asking for hardship. Xu Huang left 5,000 soldiers to rely on the city to defend, but the elite of the 6,000-degree Liao army and the Zhenbei army were scattered more than ten miles west of Liucheng, and after Gongsun Du's troops surrounded Liucheng, he personally led the main cavalry force to attack Gongsun Du, but Gongsun Du's troops quickly collapsed under the condition of being attacked by the enemy, and 15,000 soldiers and horses finally escaped from outside Liucheng and not even 7,000.

What really made Gongsun Du feel terrifying was that Xu Huang actually led the elite cavalry to chase him eastward, not giving him a chance to escape back to Yangle City at all. Gongsun Dujun, who stayed in Yangle City, only saw the dust rolling ten miles north of the city, and the army galloped, but because he did not receive the order to respond to the rescue. can only be trapped in the lonely city.

Gongsun Du, who almost ran out of breath, ran all the way along the south bank of Yushui, and finally fled into Changli City two days later, and at this time there were only more than 3,000 soldiers left in the city with him.

Xu Huang showed off his might outside Changli City, and then returned to Yangle City with his troops, and Gongsun Du, who had recovered his strength, wanted to take all the soldiers and horses in the city to Yangle City for reinforcements, but received an urgent report from the direction of Fuli, claiming that he had found a group of soldiers and horses operating in the south of Fuli City, which seemed to be to intercept the defenders of the Binxi and Xihe rivers west of Yushui from crossing the river.

When Gongsun Du heard the news, he was covered in white sweat, and he really couldn't imagine how the enemy army south of Changli City and east of Yushui had crossed the defense line he had carefully constructed. Enron appeared in his big rear.

After Xu Huang returned to Liucheng, he released some of the prisoners and asked these prisoners to bring a message to Gongsun Du to go back, claiming that the reason for the conflict between the two sides was on Gongsun Du's side, and Gongsun Du must withdraw the defenders in Yangle City to Changli as soon as possible, and provide a batch of grain and grass as compensation, otherwise the Liao army would launch a siege battle. Annihilate the defenders in Yangle City.

Gongsun Du, who was at a loss in Changli City, learned that Xu Huang was willing to truce the war just by asking for a batch of grain and grass, and hurriedly gave an order to the 5,000 soldiers who stayed in Yangle City to quickly withdraw this part of the soldiers and horses to Changli. then refused to compensate Xu Huang for grain and grass.

Xu Huang swaggered back to Yangle City with all his soldiers and horses and 5,000 captives, and then told the captives that Gongsun Du had abandoned them, and would rather break the contract than exchange grain and grass for them to return to Liaodong. After hearing Xu Huang's words, the captives were very resentful of Gongsun Du. Some of them offered to follow Xu, while others begged him to spare their lives. Xu Huang grouped together the prisoners who deliberately defected, and then put the rest of the captives together separately. However, for the time being, they were not assigned tasks, but they were instilled with some ideas of breaking away from Liaodong and rebelling against Gongsun Du every day, which had some similarities with the MLM brainwashing of later generations.

Gongsun Du, who had recovered in Changli City, readjusted and deployed his troops, and dispatched 5,000 cavalry to patrol the rear of the enemy cavalry, and found clues to Tian Yu's strange army. When Gongsun Du learned that these cavalry in Liaoxi actually went around his rear by boat from the sea, he had a feeling that his apprentice was showing off in front of his master, and he immediately sent an order to Xiangping, asking Yangyi to immediately lead the main force of the Liaodong Navy from near Liaoshui to help in the battle, and sink the ships of the Liaoxi Navy Division in the waters near Yushui.

After Tian Yu was active near Fuli for a few days, he took advantage of the fact that the Liaodong Naval Division had not yet arrived, and left the dangerous place on the troop transport ship of the Haiyang Naval Division, and then sailed more than 100 miles west to the shore and quietly circled back to Liucheng. The warships of the Haiyang Naval Division continued to move along the coastline near the Xihe River, and when Yangyi led the Liaodong Naval Division to arrive, they headed west without looking back, never stopping at all. Yang Yi led the Liaodong Naval Division to pursue more than 200 miles in one go, and when he saw that he was about to approach the coast of Linyu, he no longer had the courage to continue the pursuit, so he led the fleet back to the coast of Chongqing and returned to Gongsun Du.

On the sparkling Bohai Sea, 200 warships of all sizes sailed eastward in a neat formation, and the northwest wind that gradually rose in autumn brought strong impetus to this fleet, and it took them only three days and two nights to smoothly cross the entire Bohai Sea and come to a hidden bay at the southwest end of the Liaodong Peninsula.

With the help of the rising tide of the sea, the flat-bottomed sea boat slowly ran aground on the beach, and the small boat with a lighter draft was immediately lowered on the big boat, and the soldiers went ashore in small boats in an orderly manner according to the steps of their usual training, while the follow-up troops transported all kinds of weapons and logistical needs to the shore.

After the landing of Xian Yuyin, the commander-in-chief of the Liao army, he immediately organized the soldiers who had already gone ashore to set up a cordon along the coastline for five miles and build temporary defensive trenches to prevent the army from being attacked by the enemy during the landing.

With the smooth disembarkation of the follow-up troops, the pressure on Xian Yuyin's heart was relieved a lot, and the soldiers who had been sent to reconnoiter everywhere returned to report to him that there was no trace of enemy activity nearby, and that the nearest garrison to this beach was twenty miles away in the city of Yushi, and there were only 1,000 men. The troops in Liaodong have been exhausted by Gongsun Du, and at this moment, there are a thousand soldiers left in the city because there is a seaside port here.

Xian Yuyin took two days to command 15,000 soldiers of the Liao Army to successfully land in Yushi, and only a dozen soldiers fell into the sea during the entire operation, but because they were wearing life jackets designed by the eldest prince himself, they were also in danger, and were pulled up by the soldiers on the ship with long hooks. More than 100 soldiers were wounded when they got on and off the ship, but they were ordered by Xian Yuyin to stay on the big ship to recuperate from their wounds, and they were disqualified from participating in this operation.

The reason why it took more than two days for the Liao army to land by sea was mainly because the various logistical supplies carried by the ship were very huge, and if they only threw the soldiers on the coast, it would actually only take half a day to do it.

After the army successfully landed, the fleet of the Haiyang Navy Division left only a small number of armed sea boats cruising in the waters near the Hushi, and the main ships all anchored and left the Hushi, and then sailed south with the help of the northwest wind, preparing to transport a batch of important supplies to Yuzhou Mountain in the East China Sea.

In the era when there was no steam power, the greatest driving force for ships to sail at sea was the sea breeze, followed by the ocean current, and both wind and ocean currents were seasonal.

After the main infantry of the Du Liao army landed on the coast of the Du family, Xian Yufu immediately commanded the troops to surround the weakly defended city of the city, and after an extremely easy siege battle, the city was successfully captured by the Du Liao army. Xian Yufu organized the troops to transport a large amount of supplies into the city, and then let the soldiers rest in the city for three days, and then left 3,000 people to guard the city, and appointed Chen Rong, the counselor who accompanied the army, to serve as the county commander of the city to ensure that the army had a stable stronghold in the rear, and he personally led 12,000 infantry to approach Pingguo City, the closest to the city.

The county seat of Pingguo is nearly 400 miles away from the county seat of Yushi, and the speed of the infantry army is 30 to 40 miles a day, even if the Liao army is well-trained, it will take about ten days to arrive.

Because Xian Yuyin cut off the connection between Pingguo City and Pingguo City after he went ashore, Xian Yuyin led the army all the way to Pingguo City without encountering any obstacles, and the pedestrians encountered in the road were also driven to the rear of the team by Xian Yuyin, so until Xian Yuyin led the army to approach Pingguo City, the defenders in the city were still unaware.

The garrison of Pingguo City was still only 1,000 people, and after Xian Yu quickly captured Pingguo with lightning speed, he only rested in the city for one day, and then led the army to the north again, and the army arrived under Wenxian County five days later. The city of Wenxian was still empty in defense, so Xian Yufu still took the city without much effort.

Xian Yufu had his troops escort more than 1,000 captives in Pingguo City and Wenxian County to continue their march northward, capturing Anshi three days later and Xinchang City five days later. At this time, almost a month had passed since the landing of the Duliao army from the coast of the Yushi clan.

Xinchang City is located a hundred miles southwest of Xiangping City, Gongsun Du's old nest, after Xian Yufu captured this city, he no longer continued to march north, but stayed in the city to concentrate on building the city wall, putting on a strict defensive posture. (To be continued......)
