In Tongzhou City, Li Hongsleeve repeated what happened in Tonghua City, but whenever she had time, she would go deep into the wounded barracks, visit, and comfort those wounded soldiers, but she didn't heal them anymore, because the battle was too fierce, and Li Hongsleeve, as the main combat force, could not waste spiritual power.

In addition, it is to bring people to be friendly, this point does not need Jiang Chengjiao, Li Hongsleeve can do a good job, whether it is a big soldier or a small general, every one is gentle, she even learned to give her daily special meals to those low-level soldiers, and she went into the ordinary barracks to eat and drink with ordinary soldiers.

This kind of behavior made her gain great prestige in a short period of time, Li Yuanxiang talked to Li Hongsleeve, but Li Hongsleeve still went her own way, and Li Yuanxiang couldn't do anything about her, not only the difference in status, but also relying on Li Hongsleeve to fight, especially after obtaining the treasure mirror magic weapon, Li Hongsleeve's combat effectiveness was better than before.

The Liao army attacked every day, leaving at least a thousand corpses under the city of Tongzhou every day, but the Liao army did not have the slightest intention of retreating, and it was still constantly attacking.

Of course, this is also a reason, that is, the dead are all tribal soldiers and the soldiers and horses of the king of Pingnan, and the real elite of the Liao army actually dies very rarely.

After about half a month of hard work, Yang Heting brought people to arrive, 70,000 troops were stationed on the side of the Liao army, Chen Ge immediately sent people to attack, but Yang Heting was extremely stable, not fighting with the Liao army, but digging deep ditches, building earth walls, relying on strong bows and crossbows and Liao army consumption, under the strong attack of the Liao army, heavy casualties.

When the Liao army did not attack much, Yang Heting sent a small force to challenge constantly, and the troops sent out every day were different, Yang Heting's approach was obvious, he was training.

Although he led the soldiers and horses, although there were veterans as the backbone, there were too many new soldiers, the field battle was absolutely unsuccessful, and too many people had never seen blood, so he trained the soldiers a little bit.

Chen Ge has no way to meet a steady veteran like Yang Heting, the camp is extremely stable, if you attack on a large scale, people will stick to it without fighting, if you don't attack aggressively, people will harass you a little bit, and they will also train their troops, and the more they fight, the stronger they become.

But fortunately, after this situation persisted for seven or eight days, the second batch of men and horses of the Liao army arrived, the first batch of 80,000 men and horses, and the second batch of men and horses reached 100,000 people.

········

"It's time for a decisive battle"

In Tongzhou City, Jiang Cheng sighed, he didn't fight during this time, the excuse was to recuperate from his injuries, when he broke into Tongzhou City, he was seriously injured, although it would be fine in a few days, but Jiang Cheng didn't want to expose this secret, so he kept by Li Yuanxiang's side.

"How did the gentleman know that there was going to be a decisive battle?"

"The grain and grass can't hold on, the Liao army has more than 200,000 people, plus the auxiliary soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers, more than 25 people, and the people in the city have increased the army to more than 400,000 people, and the daily consumption of grain and grass is a huge number, and the confrontation has lasted so long, everyone is about to be unable to hold on."

Jiang Cheng replied that the logistics soldiers and horses of the Liao army are actually not much, the reason is that their logistics soldiers and horses also have a certain combat effectiveness and are cannon fodder, but their numbers are still huge, and the city is about the same, with hundreds of thousands of more people.

"Having said that, Li Yuanxiang didn't think about the decisive battle, he was dragging it"

"Do you want to drag the Liao army down?"

"Yes, in terms of the supply of grain and grass, the Liao army is much more difficult than us, Shitang disturbs Zheng Hejun's grain road in Tianxiaguan, even if it is not disturbed, Beizhou can't get much grain and grass, mainly relying on the Liao State to bring grain and grass over, more than 800 miles of grain road, how much will be consumed on the way?"

Li Hongsleeve replied, it is already a very long route to collect grain and grass in Liao, and it has to be sent to the city, the grain road is by no means more than 800 miles, and sending a pound of grain over may consume three or four catties, and the Liao army cannot support this kind of war at all, so a quick battle and a quick victory are what the Liao army wants.

"If I were Chen Ge, I would have a way to force Li Yuanxiang to fight a decisive battle"

"What?"

"Lock the city and garrison tuntian, Li Yuanxiang will have to fight a decisive battle"

Jiang Cheng said firmly, and Li Hongsleeve was stunned for a moment.

The Liao army camp, Chen Ge is also convening a group of high-level discussions, Chen Ge said, "Our army's grain road stretches for thousands of miles, and the people of Dawei are also constantly harassing, for a long time, my Daliao's national strength will definitely not be able to fight Dawei, but Dawei is shrinking, we must look for an opportunity to fight with them"

"General Chen, Yang Heting can't shrink out, Li Yuanxiang has the power of the city, how to fight a decisive battle"

"Lockdown, grazing"

"What"

"To be precise, it is called locking the city and tuntian, and sending people to make a move to lock the city, so that we only need 350,000 people to trap Tongzhou City, and the remaining 100,000 people can go all out to attack Yangheting, or they can divide troops to clear the grain road, and then we gather the herdsmen and people to cultivate and graze in Tongzhou, how long can the grain in the city be eaten, half a year or a year?"

"Li Yuanxiang won't let us do this"

"Yes, we started digging a trench, Li Yuanxiang will definitely fight, lock the city and Tuntian, we can be fake or real, if he doesn't fight, we will come according to the truth"

Chen Ge replied, this decision can allow them to advance and retreat freely, it is a real ruthless move, once they lock the city, Li Yuanxiang will either come to the decisive battle, which is very happy for them, or let it go, that's okay, after locking the city, Yang Heting will definitely die, no matter how strong the camp is, it can't be compared with the city, more than 100,000 people will attack them, and they will definitely die.

"That's it, Great Xia has already entered the game, and when we arrive in Xiliangzhou, Great Wei has no spare strength to send people over again, eat the army of Li Yuanxiang and Yang Heting, and we will join forces with Great Xia under the city of Yongdu to share Great Wei"

The king of the Southern Courtyard made a final decision, this kind of good plan, he also felt that the victory was in his hands after hearing it, and he had to carry it out.

Early in the morning of the second day, the Liao army went out of the camp as usual, but this time the Liao army did not take the initiative to attack, and advanced to the left of a thousand steps, with the soldiers holding shields standing in front, and the rear was full of smoke and dust, and the captured soldiers, the people, and miscellaneous soldiers were desperately digging trenches.

"What's going on"

When Li Yuanxiang received the news, he immediately rushed to the city wall, and his face suddenly changed when he saw the actions of the Liao army.

"Li Shuai, the Liao army is digging a ditch and preparing to lock the city, just like Tonghua City"

"Li Shuai, you can't let the Liao army lock the city, otherwise Yang Shuai's side will be finished, and the enemy army of 350,000 people can hold us, and more than 100,000 will attack Yang Shuai, Yang Shuai can't hold it, and the soldiers and horses of the court are still gathering, even if they are assembled, they are still recruits."

"Yes, Li Shuai, the imperial court's mansion reported that 20,000 of the vanguard of Great Xia have entered Xiliang, and the soldiers and horses assembled by the imperial court are going to resist the soldiers and horses of Great Xia in Pingzhou and Yongzhou, and there are not many reinforcements coming."

A group of generals said one after another that the soldiers and horses of the Great Wei in the Jiangnan area were going to Nanzhou and Pingzhou to fight, even if they didn't, it would take more than half a year to rush to Tongzhou, and when they came, the daylily was cold.

"Chen Ge really should be my Great Wei's henchman"

Li Yuanxiang said hatefully, he believed that this strategy was definitely Chen Ge's idea, the Liao army was best at cavalry, it was field warfare, and this kind of locking the city had to be thought of by a general who was born as a foot soldier, who else was there besides Chen Ge, the Jiangmen family, it was really extraordinary.

"Li Shuai, make a decision"

"Don't be in a hurry, the trench can't be dug in a day or two, pass the order, give the flag to Yang Heting, let him not go to battle, wait for the order"

Li Yuanxiang replied, Tongzhou City is Dacheng, the four walls are dozens of miles long, they are a thousand steps away, the circumference is longer, it is estimated that there are nearly 100 miles, even if 20,000 people do it together, it will take a long time, they have to stabilize Yang Heting first, and then Yang Heting is also under his control.

Li Yuanxiang left a few generals to guard, and the rest returned to the camp to discuss matters, and Jiang Cheng, as a guard, stood behind Li Yuanxiang and listened.

"The Liao army is ready to use the lock-up method to deal with us, this move is extremely vicious, once they lock the city successfully, thirty or fifty thousand can lock us up, and they will have enough troops to deal with Yang Shuai, so the lock-up law must be destroyed, and we have to go out of the city for a decisive battle"

"Li Shuai, let's fight, we're not worthy"

"Yes, Li Shuai, we and Yang Shuai joined forces to march into the army, and there are more than 100,000 people, and the battle is not something that can be won with more soldiers"

"I know, so we are going to prepare for one day, tomorrow we will go out of the city for a decisive battle, today everyone must be ready, let the soldiers be fed, prepare more bows and arrows, we will defeat the Liao army in a battle, now I order·····"

Li Yuanxiang issued orders one by one, and the generals took orders and went back to prepare.

"Master Jiang"

"The Lower Officials Are In"

"Tomorrow's decisive battle, the important thing is that you masters, tomorrow you must kill more masters of the Liao Kingdom"

After Li Yuanxiang and the others left, he said to Jiang Cheng again, after the appearance of immortals, the way of fighting the war has actually changed, before the Great Wei, there were not many innate martial artists in various countries, and when Daxuan was at its peak, there were only twenty or thirty innate martial artists in the entire world, and there were only a few great grandmasters, and the Liao Kingdom and Great Xia would only be less and not more.

This person has little effect on the war, the master is used to protect the generals, and it is almost the same to lead the troops to assault, but the immortals appeared, the immortal martial arts spread, and there are more and more innate martial artists in the world, especially in the sixty years of peace, and more masters have been accumulated.

These masters are enough to change the mode of war, a congenital warrior can be the elite of a thousand people, hundreds of people charge together, ordinary armies can't be stopped, let alone those more powerful immortals, it's not a joke to slaughter an army in a day.

Therefore, the decision of the war is also divided to the masters, if the master wins, he will also win the war, and the combat effectiveness of the master is too terrible.

"Li Shuai, this is the duty of the lower officials"

Jiang Cheng arched his hand and said, he had no choice but to run in this battle, and he must be the main force.
