Yang Shihou is a person with a prominent reputation in history, and he rarely suffered defeats on the battlefield. At its peak, there were as many as 10,000 people.

Last year, he was ordered to attack Wang Shifan in Qingzhou, but he was fruitless for half a year, making himself very faceless.

This year, I was supposed to meet Wang Shifan again, but who knew that the situation would change abruptly.

The 60,000 Bian's army in the pass was destroyed, and the three generals also fell one after another, and at this time, Yang Shihou's heart also became cold.

He was originally Li Hanzhi's person, and was later given to Li Keyong.

There was no development under Li Keyong's hands, and he committed a crime, so he fled to Zhu Wen and was reused by Zhu Wen.

Since then, the troops have been victorious.

When he took Li Ye back to Chang'an, he had the credit for defeating Li Maozhen.

Originally, in history, he also defeated Wang Shifan and forced him to land.

But due to Li Yu's interference, Wang Shifan did not surrender, not only kept Qingyan, but also had the momentum of development and growth, who is to reason with this?

Yang Shihou led an army of 30,000 to Pengcheng, Xuzhou.

Wang Maozhang captured Fuli, set up a large camp in Suishui, and scattered reconnaissance cavalry to the north.

The sentinels of both sides encountered each other near the Gupai Lake, and the outpost battle was extremely bloody, and the sentinel detectives chased and fought each other endlessly.

This also lets the commanders of both sides know where the other side has arrived.

Yang Shihou looked at the map on the desk, his brows furrowed.

The Huainan army marched extremely fast, and it only took more than ten days to connect many cities. Since Fu Li has been left, then Qi County and Yongqiao have also been lost.

These three cities are too important.

In particular, the town of Yongqiao is located directly on the Bianshui River. In order to prevent a naval army from the direction of Kaifeng, Huainan also sent 5,000 naval troops and stationed them in Yongqiao Town.

You must know that the Caoyun waterway that Kaifeng City connects with the southeastern states is this Bianshui. With it, it was possible to quickly mobilize and transport grain, grass and military supplies, including the army, and now the water is cut into two sections. At least one part of Xuzhou and Sizhou to the east were cut off.

In such a situation, can Yang Shihou not be in a hurry?

Therefore, Pai Lake is a lake formed by the flow of Sui water, surrounded by reeds, and the road between Pengcheng and Fuli passes by the lake.

This is where the two sides are at stake.

Yang Shihou thought for a long time and decided to use the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain.

He sent a letter to King Liang and presented his thoughts one by one.

Zhu Wen was gathering troops in Kaifeng at that time, preparing to support Heyang.

After receiving a letter from Yang Shihou, after a little thought, he agreed. He attaches great importance to Yang Shihou.

sent 5,000 sailors, went down the Bianshui River, and went straight to Xuzhou.

With the approval of King Liang, Yang Shihou's army set off from Pengcheng and went straight to Fuli.

At this time, what was in front of Wang Maozhang was a difficult situation.

The town of Yongqiao is extremely important and must be stuck. However, Yang Shihou is a famous general in the Bianjun army, and he has fought against him, so he knows that it is not easy to deal with.

Now, he has to face the direct attack of Yang Shihou's 30,000-strong army, and also consider the defense of Bianshui, which is a bit of a dilemma.

The north of Fuli City is next to Suishui, and Yang Shihou has to cross the river if he wants to attack Fuli, which is a difficulty for the Bianjun army and an advantage for Wang Maozhang.

After thinking about it again, Wang Maozhang gave up the idea of blocking Yang Shihou at Gupai Lake and directly rejected the enemy on the bank of the Suishui River.

In this way, he can also send part of his army to support the town of Yongqiao.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the fifth year, the Lantern Festival.

Yang Shihou's army successfully passed through Gupai Lake and set up camp on the north bank of Suishui outside Fuli City.

Wang Maozhang stood on the city tower, looking at the Bianjun camp in the distance, silently thinking about what Yang Shihou was doing.

At this time, Yang Shihou had just walked into the big tent.

The weather in the first month of the year is bitterly cold, and the surface of the river is covered with a thin layer of ice.

"Come on, go to the upper and lower reaches of Suishui to check where it is suitable to build a bridge and cross the river."

Won't he cross the river at the gates?

If the Huainan Army attacks halfway, won't he suffer a loss?!

Wang Maozhang equipped each infantry with bows and arrows, and as long as Yang Shihou dared to cross the river, he would shoot thousands of arrows.

That night, the moonlight was sultry.

The two coaches were in their respective windows, looking up at the white full moon, thinking about the Yiren at home.

"Report, envoy, the site of the river crossing has been surveyed."

"Hmm."

Yang Shihou looked at the sketch drawn by the sentinel and thought for a moment.

"Order, Du Jiang and Huang Degong are here to see you."

The effort is not big, and the two people who come in with full armor will come.

"Envoy."

"Du Jiang, you take people to thirty miles downstream of Suishui and build a pontoon bridge, there must be no mistakes."

"Order."

"Huang Degong, you take people to build a pontoon bridge twenty miles upstream of Suishui."

"Yes."

In this sultry night, two teams of 1,000 people, armed with axes, machetes and ropes, headed down the river in both directions.

However, it was said that as soon as the sky was bright, the Bianjun army on the other side built a pontoon bridge on the Suishui River, and lined it up, and the sentry on the city tower noticed the abnormality and immediately reported it.

Wang Maozhang led the generals to the head of the city, and saw that on the Suishui opposite the north gate, thousands of people were transporting planks and stakes to the river, and some soldiers jumped into the water to drive piles to the bottom of the river.

After a while, I couldn't stand the cold, so I drank shochu out of the water and fire.

Another group of soldiers jumped into the water and continued to drive piles.

"Come, send two thousand foot archers to the river and shoot blindly."

"Yes."

After a while, the north gate of Fuli City was opened, and a large group of archers ran out of the gate.

Line up and shoot arrows at the river to the opposite bank.

Father~

Whoosh~

Boom~

Boom~

Bang~

Bang~

Puff~

Belch~

Most of the arrows went into the ice, some hit the stakes, and some of the unlucky ones were hit by the arrows from the sky, but most of them were not fatal.

There are Bianjun armed with shields to protect these soldiers who build pontoon bridges.

After a burst of shooting, the group of foot archers returned to the city, and the other team rushed out of the city gate to continue.

Yang Shihou smiled at the corner of his mouth and continued to let the soldiers build bridges.

The day passed in such a tug-of-war.

The next day, the bridge was continued, and Fu left the city to continue to send troops to interfere.

If you get to the center of the river, you can't go forward.

Yang Shihou and Wang Maozhang are secretly competing, and everyone knows that this is a psychological battle.

On the nineteenth day of the first month of the fifth year, the night.

Yang Shihou quietly led the army out of the camp, one to the east and the other to the west.

As dawn approached, they crossed the water.

"Report, marshal, the Bianjun army is besieging the city!"

"What?!"

Wang Maozhang stood up from the couch in a hurry.

How did they cross the river?

A group of civil and military soldiers rushed to the head of the city, and by the dawn of the sky, there was a black army under the city.

A big banner stands in the army, and the big characters of "inspecting the right servant of the school, Caozhou stabbing Shi Yang" are particularly conspicuous.

Oops, Yang Shihou actually crossed the river!

"Defend the city!"

Yang Shihou under the city smiled slightly, and shouted to the generals beside him, "Siege!" ”

"Kill!"

Hulala, the black-pressed armor soldier carried the cloud ladder and pounced on the Fuli city wall.

The soldiers of the city were in a panic, and busied themselves to the arsenal under the city walls to carry arrows and rolling stones, and some soldiers set up iron pots and boiled gold juice.

All of a sudden, the city and the city began their respective missions.

Du Jiang waved his hand, and more than 1,000 soldiers under his command held shields, staring at the arrows on the city and rushing towards the city wall.

Puff arrows shot at shields and armor, some fell on the way to charge, others gritted their teeth and raised their shields and rushed forward.

Soon his soldiers rushed to the base of the wall.

"Quick, ladder!"

More than a dozen ladders were erected on the city wall, and the soldiers held down the foot of the ladder to death, and the other soldiers climbed up the ladder with shields and short knives.

When the soldiers in the city saw that a ladder had reached the head of the city, they raised an iron fork and stuck it on the head of the ladder, and pushed it out desperately.

The more anxious soldiers actually poked their heads out and pushed the ladder with their hands, but they were shot and killed by the archers under the city.

The corpses that fell from the city fell like raindrops from the sky, plopping and falling.

The first warriors on the ladder below the city also fell with him.

A thick layer of corpses soon piled up under the city.

Yang Shihou didn't seem to see it, his eyes stared at the figure swaying back and forth on the city wall.

"Huang Degong, you go!"

"Yes."

Huang Degong waved his hand, and all the soldiers rushed up and rushed towards death.

Yang Shihou took out the arrow he carried with him, and bent his bow and arrows at the figure in the city is an arrow.

Father~

Sou~

Poof!

Yes~

A man in the city was shot and fell.

He's another arrow.

Another man answered.

The guards around him also bent their bows and arrows in the same way, and shot towards the city.

For a while, none of the Huainan troops on this line dared to show their heads.

"Take Fu Li, reward 10,000 gold, seal your wife and son, and be glorious for a lifetime!"

Under the heavy reward, brave men emerged.

A string of pioneers rushed forward against the rain of arrows.

The short knife in their mouth became the key to their glory and wealth.

"Kill!"

The sound of killing at the head of the city shook the sky.

"Continue the siege!"

More ladders under the city took up the city.

More people rushed to the city.

Wang Maozhang led his own troops and rushed left and right.

He felt the fingers holding the knife slippery.

"Hit me down. The city is in the people, and the city is lost! ”

Wang Maozhang stared at the blood-red eyes, slashing at the Bianjun who rushed to the city.

The soldiers on his side were even more desperate.

You must know that the pro-soldier department is the commander's private soldier, also called the tooth army. If the boss dies, they will all be beheaded, don't they do it desperately?

The manager must not be killed.

The head of the city was full of blood, and the city walls were stained red with blood.

Blown by the cold wind, it froze into a dark red wall of ice.

"Come on, pour water on the walls!"

Later, Qingzhuang was also forced to go to the city, and he couldn't do anything else, so it was okay to water the city wall.

Soon, the walls of Fuli were covered with a thick crust of ice.

The ladder under the city could not be built, and many Bianjun slid down the city wall and fell to their deaths.

Looking at the dark red blood stains on the ice wall, Yang Shihou looked at the sun that was already in the west, and he knew that today's siege was nearing the end.

"Mingjin retreats."

Bell long ~~~

There was a sound of gongs, and the siege soldiers withdrew like a tide.

A lot of people have injuries on their bodies.

Wang Maozhang in the city also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Bianjun army had withdrawn his troops, and the fierce battle during the day had temporarily stopped, and tonight's more sinister battle was still waiting for them.
