As mentioned last time, in the Battle of Tiger Roaring Mountain, the 100,000 army led by Zhu Gou, a general under the command of Xiahou Tai, King of Tai'an, together with 500,000 local soldiers, was completely annihilated by the Xiangwu Army of the Guangming Army, and the entire Xiangwu Prefecture was recovered by the Xiangwu Army of the Guangming Army.

When Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, heard the news of the defeat, he was furious, but not only was there a peasant uprising in his rear, but he was also attacked by the neighboring king of He'an, Xiahou.

In order to keep his rear base, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, immediately returned to his division and prepared to stabilize the rear first. After that, he could immediately return to his division and destroy all the enemies occupying Xiangwu Prefecture.

On the eighth day of the fifth month of the first year of Guangming, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, led his army to withdraw immediately! However, after he withdrew his troops and returned to his division, the Xiangwu army of the Guangming army had already begun to march on a large scale.

On May 16, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, led an army of 500,000 to Yikang County, Dekang County, in the west of Taixing Prefecture, and surrounded Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, who had come to invade Taixing Prefecture. Due to the young and vigorous spirit and negligence of Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, he originally thought that Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, who occupied the new territory, would definitely not return to the army so soon. However, he never thought that Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, who was angered by the Xiangwu army of the Bright Army, wanted to find a punching bag, and he, the king of He'an, Xiahou Chi, sent it to the door. Because of this, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, changed his lazy temperament in the past, and marched day and night, eating and sleeping in the open, and soon surrounded Yikang County, where Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, was located, and surrounded Yikang County impenetrable.

And he thought that with the tall city walls of Yikang County, and the king of An, Xiahou Chi was stubborn, he thought that he could hold on for three months. And three months later, his reinforcements arrived. At that time, he can definitely counter-surround Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an. When he eliminated Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, he could not take the opportunity to annex the land of the two prefectures and six states that Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, now occupy, and then lead the army to pacify the other forces in Shannan Jiangbei Province, and then eliminate Xiahou Huang, the king of Mintian, who now occupies the capital of the former Western Zhao State - Mintianfu, occupy the capital, and then take Shannan Jiangbei Road as the base, and then sweep away the Quartet, can't you create a great cause?

On the wall, thinking about his grand plan, He'an Wang Xiahou Chi, his heart was full of pride.

Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, who had already marched to the city, directly ordered an attack on the county seat of Yikang County. With the army under the command of Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, they set up cloud ladders in an endless stream and attacked the county seat of Yikang County in front of them. And Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an at the head of the city, directly ordered the army defending the city to hold the city. For Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, his army stationed in the city was 150,000, and there were 450,000 households in Yikang County, and the young and middle-aged among them had been organized by his order, and kidnapped the families of these young and middle-aged people, threatening these young and middle-aged people, and if they dared not do their best, they would kill their families. As a result, the number of troops defending the city increased by 200,000 cannon fodder out of thin air. Anyway, the life or death of these young adults, and King An Xiahou Chi didn't care. Besides, how can it be possible to achieve hegemony without sacrifice?

The offensive and defensive sides launched a tragic bloody battle, those young men who had no combat effectiveness in the county seat of Yikang County naturally paid heavy sacrifices, many of them had never killed anyone, and the army under the command of King Tai'an was merciless, like a devil, naturally suffered heavy losses.

has been attacking for a whole day and night, seeing that his army still can't break through the county seat of Yikang County in front of him, Xiahoutai was directly furious, he directly cut down the two fleeing soldiers himself, and ordered loudly: "Listen, all the army, as long as they can attack the city wall in front of them, all the soldiers can loot in the city for three days and three nights." You should know that the county seat of Yikang County in front of you is a place where wealthy businessmen live, and there are more than 10,000 gold, silver, jewelry, and beauties in the city. As long as you can storm the city, everything in the city is yours. ”

"Yes, my lord. All the soldiers under the command of the king of Tai'an shouted loudly, and in their eyes they were full of greed for gold and silver treasures and beautiful women, and they all attacked the city wall one after another.

And Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, who defended the city, ordered a large number of gold and silver treasures to be put on the city wall, and said to the soldiers under his command: "All the soldiers listen, as long as you can defend the city wall, all the wealth in the city is yours." Moreover, the king can promise you that whoever conquers any city in the future, half of the wealth in the city will be yours. ”

Sure enough, because of his greed for wealth, he and the army under the command of King An Xiahou Chi also fought back desperately.

The two armies fought fiercely on the city walls, and the blood of both sides flowed like rivers and stained the city walls. The army under the command of King Tai'an desperately tried to rush up the city wall, but one by one they fell from the city wall like dumplings. Many soldiers on the city wall belonging to King He'an jumped down the city wall with the enemy in their arms. Both sides are almost red-eyed, for the sake of their future lives and for their children and grandchildren, they have long been blind to their own lives in their hearts.

Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, who was still under the city, watched the soldiers who were besieging the city trying their best, but they still couldn't capture the city in front of him, and his heart was even more angry. Moreover, he also heard that the reinforcements of Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, were not far from the county seat of Yikang County. Therefore, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, was anxious and angry, and fell ill directly, but even from the hospital bed, he constantly ordered his troops to continue to attack the city.

The stalemate between the two sides continued, resulting in numerous casualties among soldiers on both sides. However, Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, did not know that Liao Wang, the general of the garrison stationed at the east gate of Yikang City, was moved by an envoy under the command of Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, who was deliberately captured by his subordinates. That night, Liao Wang opened the city gate to welcome the army led by Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, into the city.

However, on this day, the reinforcements of Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, also approached Yikang County. When the fire broke out in the city, Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, found that the city gate was broken, and he immediately led the army to break through from the south gate, but he found his own reinforcements, so he quickly escaped.

And Liao Wang, who opened the city gate for Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, was about to take the envoy to personally invite the merit and receive the reward, but the envoy actually gave him a knife directly, he looked at the envoy in disbelief, but he couldn't say anything. Seeing Liao Wang fall, the envoy said coldly: "Liao Wang, you money-grubbing ghost, don't you know that the promise I made to you will not be fulfilled at all? I just promised you an empty promise." I didn't think about it, but you really believed it. Since you can't meet your requirements, then when you die, I will burn some paper money for you, and you will be able to get the money I promised you in the underworld!"

And the army led by Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, immediately fulfilled his promise to the soldiers after entering the county seat of Yikang County, and as a result, the entire rich Yikang County became a complete ruin. The entire population of the city was almost halved, and every household was mourned.

After the army led by Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, plundered the county seat of Yikang County for three days and three nights, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, immediately ordered the army to pursue the fleeing He'an king Xiahou Chi.

And Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, immediately issued a cruel military order to the army under his command, ordering his army to burn all the retreating cities after all the things that could be snatched and all the men, women, and children were killed. Such a cruel order made all the cities occupied by Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, fall into hell. When Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, led a large army to recover these cities, but the cities were empty, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, was naturally very angry, of course, he was not angry at the cruel methods of Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an, but because he was angry that he would have less place to collect taxes and increase his army in the future.

Now, he already understood that because he had stayed in Yikang County for too long, he could no longer catch up with the army led by Xiahou Chi, the king of He'an!

On May 20, the 600,000-strong rebel army that occupied Thuan An County, the county seat of Thuan An County in the north of Taide Prefecture, was eating wine and drinking meat under the leadership of Huang Xundi, who was known as the generalissimo of the conquest of the world. The local people originally expected these rebels to protect them, but these rebels were still like those enemies who oppressed them, and they were naturally disappointed.

On May 22, as the army led by Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, arrived in Shun'an County, the rebel army led by Huang Xun immediately discovered the enemy's situation. They immediately retracted their entire army back into the county seat of Thuan An County.

However, due to the unpopularity of the rebel army led by Huang Xun, the city gate that was originally tightly closed was actually opened by the people in the city, and as a result, as the army led by Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, all entered the county seat of Shun'an, Huang Xun had to lead the army under his command and immediately started a fierce battle with the army of Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an. As a result, the army led by Huang Xun was completely inferior to the army led by Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, and finally Huang Xun had to withdraw from the city immediately.

After capturing the county seat of Shun'an County, Xiahou Tai, the king of Tai'an, directly ordered a large army to immediately brutally kill the remnants of the rebel army in the city.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
