At dawn, the thieves reluctantly retreated, leaving behind more than a thousand corpses.

Li Yue also didn't close his eyes all night, and he had a clear understanding of the strength of the various departments under his command, Chen Duan was a veteran, but Zhu Xu was quite a famous general, and he kept watch all night, and the casualties were only more than 20 people.

The worst is Zheng Hui's county soldiers, their combat strength and will are not good, if it weren't for the supervision team pressing behind, it is estimated that they would collapse first.

Defending a 100,000-strong enemy siege with 20,000 horses is a valuable experience.

Some people are born gods, but Li Yue knows that he is not that material, and he can only make up for it by working hard the day after tomorrow.

If you walk too much, you will step out of a road.

Isn't everything in the world a process where practice makes perfect?

And Li Yue feels that the acquired hard worker is not necessarily worse than the born one, the victory or defeat of the war depends on many factors, not only on the battlefield, even if the heroic Xiang Yu is not Wujiang self-inflicted?

After less than an hour, he pushed the crash again.

It seems that he will not give up until he breaks through this city.

This time it was besieged from all sides, and tens of thousands of people attacked in black.

The city was littered with slashed arrows, and a few of them hit the tooth on the top of Li Yue's head.

This scene naturally couldn't shake Li Yue.

"The city is broken!" The thieves shouted under the city.

Li Yue looked around, and a section of the city wall on the southwest side of the southern city was hit by a car and a big hole was knocked out, and countless thieves cheered and laughed.

There was also a panic on the city wall, and some people were just about to turn around and flee, but suddenly saw the overseers standing behind them, and continued to fight without saying a word.

Behind the broken walls were antlers, pits, and moats.

Whatever is pre-planned is immediately established, and if it is not pre-planned, it will be wasted.

Li Yue had already thought that there would be such a scene and was well prepared, so he did not panic.

Xu Cheng led a thousand Black Cloud Army to wait for a long time, and shouted: "Come and die quickly!" ”

As soon as the thief army saw the mace, bones, hammers and other heavy weapons carried by the Black Cloud Army, it seemed that they were awakened to a terrifying memory, and one of the thieves made up for it by himself: "It's not good, it's a plan!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and fled.

"Why don't the rats go!" Xu Cheng has always been brave and has been recuperating for a long time, but now that he has seized the opportunity, he naturally refuses to let it go, and leads people to rush over.

The cavity is not large, and only two or three people can pass through at a time.

So many people want to get out, but they can't get out when they are huddled together.

Xu Cheng led more than 200 people to catch up, hammered one by one, and killed more than 100 people blocking the city, and piled up the corpses of the thieves as bricks and stones in the breaches......

The siege lasted from midnight to midday.

Two hours after the truce, another onslaught was launched.

The walls have collapsed many times, but there is still a line of defense behind them, which has strangled more thieves.

The attack continued until dawn, and Xingyang City was still standing.

Li Yue hadn't closed his eyes for almost two days, and so did most of the soldiers, who were more tired and sleepy than Li Yue, killing the enemy with a knife and spear in their right hand, and pouring a mouthful of meat soup into their mouths with their left hand.

On the third day, the same high-intensity onslaught.

The thief army also seems to have seen it, and if they don't break through Xingyang, they will stop there.

For them, they can only move forward, not backward.

Under the spring sun, the entire Xingyang City seemed to be stained with blood, and the stench of corpses was everywhere.

Looking down from the castle tower, even the water was dyed red and slowly flowed to the east.

By the fifth day, the thief army was finally exhausted and stopped the siege.

The corpses under the city accumulated layer by layer, piled up to half the height of the city wall, and at least 10,000 people were killed and wounded, but even so, they failed to break through Xingyang.

The defenders also suffered heavy casualties, especially Zheng Hui's county soldiers, who suffered nearly half of the casualties.

And at this time, Shi Min finally appeared, "The thief army has been exhausted, my elite soldiers have been completed, and within two days, it will be broken!" ”

Li Yue looked into the distance, saying so, but he was not the only one staring at this feast.

"You've worked hard these days, and after breaking the thief, I'm going to ask for some rewards for you!"

"How dare you, I was born in Xingyang and has the responsibility of defending the land."

If you want to get a piece of the pie when Zhao perishes, you must have a name......

At this moment, on a low hill in the northeast of the battlefield, several horsemen were cruising like vultures, their eyes never leaving the battlefield, and seeing that the battle was gradually stopping, the leader let out a loud roar to his head.

Then, closer to the battlefield in the southwest, a few horses suddenly burst out, and rushed to the mound, and then ran north together.

Crossing the Yellow River in a boat that had been prepared for a long time, he rushed in the direction of Liyang.

Since being transferred back to Zhang Hedu, the strength of the Liyang battalion has reached 60,000.

However, Shi Bin, the king of Yan Zhao, was not ready to fight.

The more the army is held in the hands for a day, the more generals can be recruited.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Shi Bin sat cross-legged, gnawed on the leg of mutton in his hands, his beard was covered with debris, and he was a little hideous and vicious.

Guanzhong was pacified by him, but it was Shi Bao who picked peaches, Shi Bin was transferred back to Yecheng and idle for seven or eight years, and now Shi Tao and Shi Xuan are dead, and he has become the most warlike person in the Zhao clan.

"The crown prince is ten years old, Your Majesty...... The health is not good, the Quartet is in turmoil, and those who can stabilize the country are the only ones who can stabilize the country! A few eunuchs complimented him.

"Liang Li's traitor He Zudao also, if King Yan was out of the horse, he would have been pacified for many days."

Shi Bin didn't respond, just gnawed on the leg of mutton in his hand, and a mouthful of yellow teeth bit on the mutton bone, clicking, so that several eunuchs didn't dare to say anything.

At this moment, an old-fashioned voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Where is King Yan?" ”

Without waiting for the guards outside to answer, he directly lifted the curtain and broke in.

Shi Bin glanced at the person who came, put down the leg of mutton in his hand, "What does Lao Qiang mean by coming here?" ”

Yao Yizhong's eyes swept left and right, "Your Majesty sent King Yan to beg for thieves, why did you stop here?" ”

"Thieves are rampant, why rush?"

"The thief army was defeated under the Tiger Prison Pass first, and it has not been attacked for a long time, it is the time to attack!" Yao Yizhong stepped forward, grabbed the mutton on the plate in front of Shi Bin, and gnawed it unceremoniously.

"You old Qiang." Instead of minding, Shi Bin burst out laughing.

"King Yan, the general of the chariot asks to see you." Outside the tent guard.

Yao Yizhong frowned.

Shi Bin shook his big hand, "Pass him in." ”

"Yui!"

After a while, Pu Hong also opened the curtain and entered, bowing his hand, "Meet King Yan." ”

Seeing that Yao Yizhong was also there, he was not surprised, "Meet General Zhengxi." ”

Yao Yizhong has an envoy, a servant, and a general of the expedition to the west, both in terms of official position and status, which is higher than Pu Hong.

As soon as the two of them met, they suddenly became sharp.

Shi Bin asked knowingly, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Pu Hong looked away, "The thief army has become a tired soldier, and it is the time to forge ahead, and the great achievement is close at hand!" ”

Shi Bin looked up to the sky and laughed, "Tomorrow into the army!" For me to defeat the thieves, the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

"Lao Qiang is willing to be a pioneer!" Yao Yizhong said in a deep voice.
