The walls on the north and south sides of Liyang City were not attacked by enemy troops, so the small craftsmen with black cloth strips wrapped around their arms did not wait to do anything before they were quickly taken down by the guards who had been alerted by the Yuwen Shi and his own soldiers. The rebels lurking on the western wall were the most bizarre, and it is not known whether it was because Li Mi's feint performance was too realistic and made them desperate for the future, or because they were confused by the rumors that Yang Xuangan had ceded all the land north of the Yellow River to the Goguryeo, and the undetermined among them quietly confessed their identities to Li Anyuan before receiving orders from the rebels under the city. After receiving the information, Li Anyuan immediately took action and eliminated all the people with black cloth wrapped in their arms from the city defense team. When Li Mi learned that the surprise attack on Dongcheng had failed and wanted to cause chaos on the west side of Liyang, all he answered was a mocking scolding.

The tense battle ended hastily after the sun set, and Han Shixu disappeared with the exhausted elite of the rebels. Li Mi also withdrew to Dabil Mountain with the brothers who were serving as feints. As a price for underestimating the strength of the defenders, the rebels left behind some 4,000 corpses in total. Most of them are on the west side of the city. Although the intensity of the fighting on the eastern side of the city was much higher than that on the western side of the city, the rebels who were on the main attack were well-armed and well-trained, so the chances of retreating were much higher than those of Paoze, who was on the east side of Liyang City.

Although he knew that it was very unlikely that the enemy army would attack the city at night, Li Xu still arranged three hundred night watchmen on the walls on each side. "Night raids require a very high level of training for soldiers!" Yu Wenshi shook his head and ridiculed Li Xu for being timid. But seeing the wound that Li Xu had just bandaged, he quickly changed his mind: "Some of the rebels are quite good at fighting, but fortunately, there are not many of them, and they have died a lot today!" ”

His words caused a burst of laughter among the generals, and at the same time left a shadow in everyone's hearts. There are not many people who can injure Xuzi to this extent, at least with the same number of soldiers and horses, and the generals of the Xiongwu Battalion are not sure that they can achieve such a feat. If 200 enemy soldiers trained to this level ventured to climb Liyang City in the middle of the night, they were not sure that they would be able to guarantee that the city gate would not be lost.

"It's best for us to learn from the Goguryeo people and plug all the four city gates to death!" Captain Cui Qian suggested in a low voice. This was the way for the Goguryeo people to defend Liaodong, and he moved it to Liyang, which could be regarded as a living study.

Li Xu discussed with Yu Wenshi and immediately assigned the task. Life is more important than face, and fools pretend to be gentlemen in front of the two armies. After blocking all the gates with sandbags, Yuwenshi and Hexuzi arranged for men to carry sandbags and divide the city wall into several small sections at intervals of five zhang apart. Each section of the wall is connected by a gap for one person to pass through, and in the event that a section of the wall is missed, the soldiers in the adjacent area can quickly block the connection with the fallen section with sandbags.

Li Mengyan led people to demolish the houses near the city wall, and Li Anyuan led people to nail wooden stakes to the inner wall roots. The Goguryeo people's tricks to defend Liaodong were arranged in Liyang City by everyone according to the information they received from hearsay. The food in the city was enough to feed the Xiongwu camp for twenty years, and they did not believe that the Goguryeo people had withstood the strategy of 600,000 Sui troops, and it would not be effective to deal with the traitors.

Everyone was busy until the second half of the night before taking turns to return to the county office to rest. Li Xu was lying on the large wooden bed, feeling a wave of tiredness welling up, but it was difficult to fall asleep after tossing and turning. The wounds on his body were applied with a lot of medicine by Sun Jin, who was in the army, and now he doesn't feel pain. But the scenes of the daytime battle were always replayed in front of his eyes, so that no matter how he closed his eyes, he could not turn a blind eye.

"You actually became a dog officer?" Xuzi heard Wu Heimin asking in his ear. At this time, it was not only Wu Heimin who was shaking in front of his eyes, but also Niu Jinda, a veterinarian who didn't talk much, but was very kind; Liu Jizhen, who is very arrogant and wants to prove that he is the authentic master of the grassland, and ......, the last thing that comes to his mind is the enthusiasm for others, but the idea of doing things is bright. In a daze, Xuzi remembered that Zhang Liang was Wu Heimin's employer, and Niu Jinda seemed to be in the same group as Zhang Liang. As soon as he was excited, he felt like he had been poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and his thoughts instantly became extremely clear.

Liu Hongji said on the same day: Zhang Liang's proprietor has a great plan, and he is not a person with the stomach and courage, I am afraid that he will harm others and himself in the future. This sentence should refer to either Li Mi or Yang Xuangan. "If I didn't choose to follow Brother Liu at that time, but followed Zhang Liang!" Xuzi thought very frightenedly, feeling a cold all over her body.

The Li family has been loyal for generations, and if there is a bandit in the family, my father and mother will die of sadness. Asahiko was haunted by the scene of that day. Personal experience told him that Wu Heimin, Zhang Liang and others were not big traitors, but the books he read and the environment in which he grew up still made him unable to agree with Wu Heimin's choice.

When it was almost dawn, Asahiko finally fell asleep. In a daze, he dreamed of reuniting with Wu Heimin again, and both of them had soldiers behind them, and rushed towards each other without hesitation.

"Woo-woo-" The mournful sound of the horn echoed between heaven and earth, and Xuzi crossed the chest of the knife, the blade downward, and the back of the knife turned outward. This is a broken lance style taught by the coppersmith master and instructed by General Qian Shixiong. Wu Heimin stabbed with a fork, Xu Zi raised his arm and turned his wrist, knocked open the steel fork with a knife, and swiped Wu Heimin's neck with another knife.

"Woo-woo-woo-woo" The horn sounded incessantly, and he saw Wu Heimin's blood spurting out of his neck, staining the black sky red.

"Woo-woo-woo!" The sound of the horn is in my ears. Xuzi turned over and sat up, punched himself in the chest, and forcibly suppressed the wild beat in his heart. The enemy attacked, the day dawned, and the shrill sirens pulled him back from his dream. Several of his own soldiers rushed into the house and helped Lang put on his armor. Immediately afterwards, it was Zhang Xiu, the captain of the pro-soldier school, who rushed in, "A large number of enemy troops were found outside the west city wall, carrying a lot of sandbags!" Zhang Xiu reported while bringing up a helmet for Li Xu and wearing a weapon. The reserves have been assembled, and the generals are waiting for your further instructions! ”

"Ordered the generals to guard the walls for which they were responsible, and the reserve entered the county office to rest and stand by. Pro-Corps, follow me to the enemy tower in the West City to watch the battle! Li Xu straightened his helmet and ordered without hesitation.

When he arrived at the enemy tower in Xicheng with his own soldiers, the enemy attack had already begun. Thousands of strong men armed with huge shields made of tree branches and wearing nothing on their upper bodies erected a green wooden wall thirty paces below the city wall. Behind the wooden wall, at least 3,000 archers took turns drawing their bows, pressing the defenders on the walls unable to raise their heads. Tens of thousands of rebel soldiers, carrying sandbags, quickly moved towards the base of the city walls. In an instant, they used straw bags and mud and sand to spread a passage three zhang wide and twenty zhang long five feet to the right of the city gate.

The rebel soldiers, who had dropped their sandbags, took a few steps around and ran off into the distance without looking back. A new wave of soldiers came running and raised the passage one level higher with sandbags. In the sound of the earth-shattering golden drum, a fish-beam avenue for siege gradually took shape. The tail end forms a slope with the ground, and the first end is slightly closer to the head of the city.

The archers at the head of the city fought back desperately, and the rebel soldiers carrying sandbags were constantly shot down under the city. But those soldiers were like they had fallen into an evil spirit, and they didn't care about the lives and deaths of their comrades. Stepping on a pool of blood, stepping over the corpses of his companions, dropping sandbags on the Fish Beam Road, turning around and running back to his own formation. In this formation, soldiers shoveled up mud and sand, filled straw bags, and again lowered them on the shoulders of road builders.

"Sent an order to Qin to join the army, and asked him to pull the reserve soldiers to the empty room outside the West City, and wait for the battle while eating and cooking. Order the other brothers on the city wall to take turns eating, and be ready to come and support at all times! Li Xu watched and observed the movement of the enemy army for a while, and ordered in a low voice.

This time it won't be a feint, Wu Heimin, who had nothing to do with him yesterday, was standing two hundred steps away with hundreds of ironclad foot soldiers, waiting for the moment when Yuliang Avenue arrived at the head of the city. Each of the ironclad foot soldiers pulled down the iron net that obscured their faces, and the people at the head of the city could not see their expressions, but felt the murderous aura in the ranks.

"Order Li Anyuan to prepare more spears, and when the ironclad army rushes up, the brothers will meet them with spears!" Li Xu thought about it and issued the second general order. The experience of yesterday's battle showed that it is difficult for horizontal knives to inflict fatal wounds on enemy troops in iron armor. However, the spear can find the gap between the opponent's two pieces of iron armor or the weakly defended leg to attack.

"Let Qin Xingshi transport two hundred barrels of vegetable oil from the granary and put them on the city wall and near the horse road to standby!" Yu Wenshi thought about it and added on the side.

This is a vicious method that the Goguryeo people demonstrated. Li Xu looked up at Yu Wenshi and saw a thick smile in the other party's eyes. Li Mi was smart enough to think of a big deal to use the advantage of numbers to build Yuliang Road to attack the city. But his luck is really bad, the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion have just used this trick outside Liaodong City, the strategy of the attacking side and the cracking method of the defending side, the soldiers of the Xiongwu Battalion have seen it clearly under the Liaodong City.

"Let the brothers work harder, and after taking Liyang, each of them will be divided into three hundred catties of rice!" Li Mi, who was famous all over the world when he was a teenager, didn't know that Xuzi and Yu Wenshi had already thought of a countermeasure. Looking at the Yuliang Avenue that was getting closer and closer to the head of the city, he shook his feather fan lightly, and he was full of spirit.

Yang Xuangan took advantage of the Great Sui to attack Liao with the strength of the country, and it was completely Li Mi's idea to rebel. Although Li Mi was not in Liyang when Yang Xuangan raised his troops, and after the other party got up, he pretended to have to come to help in order to fulfill the righteousness of his friends. But for this moment, to add another heavy touch to the glory of the family, he has been preparing for a long time.

Over the years, the heroes of the Three Mountains and Five Mountains of the Great Sui Dynasty, the gangs from all over the world, have rarely received his favors. With his extraordinary talent, as well as his outstanding reputation in officialdom and among the people, Li Mi believes that assisting the Ming Lord to win the world should be a matter of rumor. It's a pity that Yang Xuangan is unwilling to fully follow his own opinions, and it's a pity that Wei Xuanci and others are elbowing themselves everywhere. It's a pity that Yuan Wuben is incompetent, and he was killed by two little-known hairy boys with thousands of soldiers and horses.

Through scouts and meticulous investigations, Li Mi has mastered the details of the Sui generals guarding Liyang City at this time. is not a veteran of the Great Sui Mansion soldiers who is worthy of his serious response, but two reckless people who took Liyang by mistake. One of the people's name is Li Mi who is more familiar, and it is Yu Wenshi, the governor of the Great Sui Dynasty. In Li Mi's impression, this person has no other strengths except for his relatively handsome appearance. The other, who had never even heard of his name, dared to lead a few soldiers and horses to confront the 70,000 troops under his command.

Although after the failure of the surprise attack on Dongcheng yesterday, the general of Zhengdong, Han Shicao, and the commander of Zhichong, Wu Heimin, both praised the martial arts of the enemy generals, but Li Mi did not think that was the truth. In order to hide his incompetence, who did not boast about the opponent's ability to the sky! This person is neither a general, nor a famous teacher's apprentice, why does he have such strong skills?

"Li Junshi, Li Junshi?" A whispered call came, waking Li Mi from his contemplation. He turned his head and saw an old, sad face. Because of too much work, this person has lost a few taels of flesh, and his dry skeleton is covered with a blue-gray robe, as if he can be blown down by the wind.

"Yang Changshi, what's the matter?" Li Mi frowned and asked. The surname of the person who called him was Yang, and it is said that his father, the late Duke of Chu, Yang Su, who had followed Yang Xuangan, had pacified Nanchen and experienced countless battles. But Li Mi couldn't see any scheming temperament from the other party. On the contrary, this man is very short-sighted and always contradicts him. At the beginning, Yang Xuangan raised troops, and Li Mi proposed three strategies, the most certain of which was to be realized, the best strategy of marching thousands of miles north, attacking Zhuo County, and starving millions of troops to death outside the Great Wall, was vetoed by this person.

"Li Junshi, look at the head of the city, the enemy general has piled a lot of sandbags on the head of the city, completely dividing the city wall into several sections. Yuliang Road is paved, I'm afraid it will be difficult to expand the results! Old Master Yang took a breath and said in a trembling voice. He didn't want to remind Li Mi, but he couldn't bear to watch the 70,000 army under the strong city, and thought about it for a long time before he trembled and advised.

"It's okay, I've ordered every group of heavily armored foot soldiers under General Wu to carry a long rope. As long as you rush to the top of the city, you can use a long rope to tie the battlements to the city, seize the city gate, and enlarge the army to enter! Li Mi shook the feather fan and said with a smile the mystery of using soldiers.

"But the enemy army will also hide heavy troops in the city!" Yang Fuzi looked at the enemy tower in the distance and continued to remind. There is a big "Li" character on the flag of the general fluttering at the head of Liyang City, according to the scout's report, the general who defends the city is surnamed Li, the name is Xu, and the word Zhongjian. Master Yang was seventy percent sure that person was his disciple. But he didn't dare to say it, the topic was too cruel. His intuition and understanding of his disciples told him that if it was really Zhong Jian who was defending the city, Li Mi might not be able to successfully take Liyang.

And Liyang had to take it. The 300,000 troops gathered outside Luoyang City waited for the grain and grass here. In addition, after recovering Liyang, it will be able to deprive the Great Sui officers and soldiers who came from afar of their supplies. The proprietor dispatched troops to kill several ferries on the south bank of the Yellow River, and when the front road was blocked and the rear was not quiet, it was difficult for Yuwenshu to threaten the back of the army for a while.

This detachment does not need to drag Yuwenshu on the north bank of the Yellow River for too long, and after everyone recovers Liyang, they only need to hold on for half a month to get results. Taking a step back, as long as the young proprietor takes Luoyang before Liyang falls again, the 300,000-strong army will be resupplied and can use the families of hundreds of officials as hostages to coerce the current holy peace talks.

"Okay, Yuliang Road is just one of the siege methods, and I also ordered people to make more than 100 ladders and two siege vehicles overnight." Li Mi pointed at the army hidden in the woods behind him with a feather fan and explained with a smile. "When Yuliang Avenue is connected to the city, all soldiers and horses will be dispatched at the same time. The enemy is far inferior to me, and we must not be able to take care of each other! ”

"Besides, as long as I climb to the top of the city and stand firm, I can send a steady stream of men up to remove the obstacles at the top of the city. As far as I know, there are only more than 4,000 Great Sui officers and soldiers who came from afar in the city, and the rest are all remnants of the Yuan County Guard. He commanded 20,000 suspicious people with a tired army of 4,000, and his morale was bound to not be too high. As long as we get off to a good start, the enemy will be in disarray, and it won't take long for them to collapse! ”

"May it be like the auspicious words of the military teacher!" Master Yang arched his hand and stepped aside. There is no need to make any more suggestions, no matter what he reminds, Li Mi has corresponding countermeasures in his mouth. As for whether these countermeasures will work or not, we will not know until we fight. At present, the two armies have not yet come into contact, and the outcome is difficult to predict.

"I heard that the master used to live in seclusion in Yi County?" Yang Fuzi stopped bothering, but Li Mi suddenly became interested in his personal experience.

"The Mengjun Division inquired, the Shanggu County Administration Office is in Yi County, and the little old man used to learn and live in the county!" Yang Fuzi thought about it and replied politely.

Yuliang Road is getting higher and higher, and the defenders' counterattacks are becoming more and more intense. Brothers carrying sandbags were constantly being shot by stray arrows and rolling down the Yuliang Road screaming, their blood staining the entire passageway. The military advisor Li Mi turned a blind eye to this, as if Master Yang's personal experience was ten thousand times more important than the lives of hundreds of soldiers.

"The enemy commander on the opposite side is also from Shanggu, I don't know if he has anything to do with his master?" Li Mi pointed at the enemy tower of Liyang City with a feather fan, and asked with a smile.

"How is it possible, the students I teach are no older than eighteen or nine years old, and the highest official positions in my father's generation are no more than household troughs and county lieutenants. If you don't have a good reputation, how can you worship the marquis? Master Yang stroked the tiger's whiskers and replied with a smile.

"It's true, when did the imperial court reuse the children of the Han family!" Li Mi, who knew the rules of the Great Sui officialdom, nodded and said. He no longer contacts the generals in the city with Old Master Yang, the one surnamed Li is said to be Li Yuan's nephew, and the children of serious families have all invited Mr. to his home, who will go to the county school to mess with those children from inferior families!

"The court is off to a good start, but it's a little late!" Master Yang raised his head, his gaze jumped over the soldiers of his army, and landed on Liyang City in the distance. At the head of the city, two red big hulala rolls, like two jumping flames.

"Great Sui, Xiongwu" has four big characters written on both sides of one of the big flags.

On another big banner of "Li", the surname of the main general is reflected in a strong color.

"He is my disciple, my heir!" Old Master Yang looked at the banner of the Xiongwu Battalion and thought silently. Before I knew it, old tears had welled up in my eyes.
