Xuanqi, who had crossed the Yellow River with the whole army for a day and a night, ordered all the ships to be burned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Helian Yinshan, who came later, looked at the many boats that were still burning, and could only curse at the mouth, but there was no way but to order the army to start collecting boats and preparing to cross the river.

When the army of Helian Yinshan crossed the Yellow River, Xuanqi had already led the army to take Fengqiu and Xinxiang, and from the north of Xinxiang to Taihang Mountain, hundreds of thousands of troops disappeared in the reckless mountains.

When Xuanqi arrived at Lingchuan, the "Four Heroes of the Tianshan Mountains" were already waiting for him. Xuan Qi chose Taihang Mountain as the place for the decisive battle with Helian Yinshan, and naturally invited the "Four Heroes of Tianshan Mountain" from Tamsui City, with the help of the four people, many things will be much easier.

Hearing that Xuanqi was coming, the large and small villages on Taihang Mountain expressed their willingness to join Xuanqi's army and contribute to the expulsion of the Xiongnu army. And among the various cottages, most of them were forced to go up the mountain and fall into the grass because of the Huns' entry into the customs. Among these village owners, Xuan Qi also saw many people who had given his daughter Qiqi's birthday back then, and a burst of greetings and thanks was inevitable. Among them, the most powerful is Hong Tongsheng, a Shaolin lay disciple who sent out the silk vest that year, Hong Tongsheng's Hongjiazhai is located in the south of Wutai Mountain, with 8,000 soldiers.

Fan Qi, who was far away in Wutai County, also came in person and met Xuanqi. At this time, Fan Qi occupied the area of Wutai Mountain, and it had grown from the original 30,000 to 70,000. Fan Qi also often led a large army to harass the Xiongnu defenders in Wutai Mountain, Xinzhou, Daizhou and other places, and became a thorn in the side of the defenders of the two places, eager to get rid of them quickly. The mountains around Wutai Mountain are high and dense, and Fan Qi, who can't be beaten, can't find anyone at all as long as he drills into the mountain.

With the addition of the heroes of Taihang Mountain, the number of Xuanqi's army suddenly rose to 300,000, which was undoubtedly good news for Xuanqi, who felt that he was a little short of major generals. Xuanqi asked Fan Qi to go back to Wutai Mountain first to prepare, and at the same time let the Taihang heroes begin to infiltrate the various towns west of Taihang. With Xuanqi's thoughts, he naturally hoped to weaken the power of the Xiongnu in Shanxi as much as possible before Helian Yinshan arrived, and he could be less distracted during the decisive battle.

After everything was arranged, Xuan Qi immediately ordered a large army to besiege Lingchuan County. With the help of the Taihang heroes, the Xuanqi army only needs to be responsible for preventing the Hun soldiers in the city from escaping. After more than an hour, the 2,000 Hun defenders were all solved by the Taihang heroes.

Xuanqi did not stay in Lingchuan, and ordered the army to pass through the city, and directly divided the troops into two routes. One route was led by Gao Yao, who went north to capture Huguan, and he went straight to Gaoping County. After successfully taking Gaoping County, the Xuanqi army waved north, and after joining Gao Yao, the soldiers surrounded the party.

The Shangdang garrison is 15,000, and the guard is Helian Yinshan's nephew Helian Shu. Long before Xuanqi arrived at the party, Helian Shu had ordered the city gate to be closed and not allowed to enter or leave. The walls of the above party city are thick, and Helian Shu is confident that he will stop the Xuanqi army under the city of Shangdang.

After Xuan Qi inquired, he learned that there was a hillside on the side of Taihang Mountain in the east of the city, and there was only a ravine more than two zhang wide between it and Shangdang City. At the moment, Xuanqi was not in a hurry to attack the city, but he let the Taihang heroes and soldiers disperse and began to collect sacks, cloth bags and other things. The defenders of the city saw from afar that the Xuanqi army was digging something on the mountain, but they didn't care.

At dawn the next day, Xuan Qi ordered the army to feign a siege and try to attract the defenders to the four city gates, while he himself led an army of 30,000 to the hillside that had been predetermined for a long time. When the Hun soldiers in the city discovered the intentions of the Xuanqi army, it was too late. A team of tens of thousands of cavalrymen began to throw the bags they were carrying and containing sand and soil in the ravines.

If a Hun soldier got closer, he would be shot back by the cavalry on the condescending hillside. In less than half an hour, the ravine between the hillside and the city wall was already filled, and a road three or four feet wide made of sand and earth appeared in front of him.

Xuan Qi rode his horse and rushed towards the city wall, and among the 30,000 cavalry, only 3,000 cavalry followed closely and rushed up to the city wall, which was more than two zhang wide. The remaining 20,000 cavalry left their horses on the hillside and rushed up the city wall on foot. The 3,000 cavalry soldiers swept all the way along the city wall in two ways, and the army behind them began to occupy the city wall, blocking the Hun soldiers who rushed towards the city wall, and a fierce battle began in an instant.

Xuan Qi led 1,500 cavalry and soon occupied the city wall of the east gate. The besieging army under the city, without the threat of the bows and arrows of the Huns on the city wall, began to set up ladders and climbed up to the city wall. The first to climb the city wall was the heroes of 20,000 Taihang Mountain. These reckless people, who lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife, soon rushed down the city wall and launched a fierce attack on the defenders of the east gate.

The impact of 20,000 people, but with a stick of incense, it defeated more than 2,000 defenders at the city gate and successfully opened the city gate. The 40,000 cavalry outside the city gate, with their iron hooves rumbling, rushed straight into the city and began to charge the defenders along the city walls. Seeing that the situation was not good, Helian Shu opened the north gate with three thousand cavalry, wanting to break out of the encirclement of the Xuanqi army.

Outside the north gate, Gao Yao led 30,000 cavalry and 10,000 Taihang Mountain heroes, waiting for Helianshu's breakthrough. The rain of arrows in the sky shot towards the heads of the 3,000 Hun cavalry, and in an instant, many people and horses fell from arrows. Helian Shu ignored the casualties, took the lead, and led 3,000 cavalry to rush towards Gao Yao's army like an arrow.

Gao Yao simply ordered the army to move slightly to the two wings, and after the Hun cavalry rushed in, all kinds of blades stretched out, or men or horses, all fell to the ground with a bang. An army of 40,000 surrounded more than 2,000 Hun soldiers, living with an overwhelming number of people, constantly reaping the lives of the Huns. Often a Hun soldier stabbed half of the spear in his hand, and there were already countless spears piercing the Hun soldier's body. Half an hour later, all 3,000 Hun cavalry were slaughtered, and Helian Shu also died in the chaos.

The battle for Shangdang lasted until noon, and less than 10,000 of the 15,000 Hun defenders were able to escape from the city. However, the Xuanqi army also paid more than 4,000 casualties before taking the Shangdang. Shangdang's back is against Taihang Mountain, even if he can't hold it, he can retreat to Taihang Mountain, Xuanqi immediately decided to use Shangdang as the first line of defense against Helian Yinshan.

After leaving 50,000 troops and 10,000 Taihang Mountain heroes to Gao Yao, Xuan Qi led the army to continue northward, successively taking Tunliu, Xiangyuan, Wuxiang, Yushe, and Taigu counties, and forcing Taiyuan City by the Fen River.
