When Yuan Ding gathered the remnants of the soldiers and just breathed a sigh of relief, another piece of bad news came into his ears, Changshan County, which was taken by Zhao Hubing without blood, and its ease was rare since ancient times. www.biquge.info It is rumored that Zhao Hu just led the troops to Changshan County and showed his face, and erected his general flag under the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the entire Changshan County were all boiling, and nearly 10,000 defenders came to a collective mutiny, killing the county guards sent by Yuan Ding, and then opened the city gate with hundreds of thousands of people, and welcomed Zhao Hu into the city with gongs and drums.

I have to say that Zhao Hu's name in Changshan is too loud, when Zhao Hu was still in his hometown, he often helped the poor people, and once taught the local defenders martial arts, whether in the army or in the people, has a good reputation. Later, Zhao Hu left his hometown to worship the halberd prodigy Yuan to learn art, and also came back a few times, each time he would do something to eliminate violence and peace, and save the people, until he joined the command of Yuan Qi, because he was responsible for the leadership of the Heavenly Return Army, the number of times he came back slowly decreased, but this did not reduce the love of the hometown father for Zhao Hu, Zhao Hu created a great prestige outside, faintly became the first general under the command of Yuan Qi, and the god of war Qi Tian went hand in hand, the hometown of the father and the elder are all known, all of them praise Zhao Hu orally, now see Zhao Hu return to his hometown, naturally he is very happy, and it is not surprising to open the city to welcome Zhao Hu。

For example, Zhao Hu's popularity in Changshan is like some small towns in later generations, where a college student who has not met in a hundred years has been admitted to the university through his own efforts, and later became a big official, and this college student has an excellent reputation in his hometown.

After Zhao Hu entered the city, he passed on the county orders of Changshan, let them belong to the king of Yan, and received the county orders from Zhao Hu. Immediately changed the flag, removed the Yuanzi flag, and planted the Yanzi flag on the city. All of a sudden, the eight counties under Chang Shan's rule all defected to Zhao Hu, pushing Zhao Hu's prestige to a new height. It also made the morale of the Yan army soar and the prestige was greatly shocked.

lost another county, and in this way, Yuan Ding's heart felt extremely angry, but the things that made Yuan Ding even more angry were more than that. Gan Jing commanded 20,000 Qilin troops along the mouth of the Yellow River. Entering the channel of the Yellow River, the troops approached the Xinhe where Yuan Ding was located, but they did not challenge the Yuan army, but took advantage of the fast speed of the new warships to start a guerrilla attack on the Yellow River. Before Gan Jing joined the Yuanqi, she was a famous "Jinfan thief" on the two rivers!

Under the attack of Gan Jing, several county towns were attacked by the Qilin army. The Qilin elite stepped off the warship and came to the land to fight, the combat effectiveness was not reduced at all, no defenders of the county town could resist the onslaught of the Qilin army, Gan Jing was even more brave to take the lead, fighting in the front line of the siege war. Those county seats, which were garrisoned by only a thousand or even a few hundred people, were quickly broken by Gan Jing's army. After the city was broken, Gan Jing looted all the money, food, materials, weapons and equipment in the treasury in the city, and even took off the clothes and armor worn by the defenders mercilessly, and then tied the county order and the defenders together and handed them over to the local people to deal with.

Outcome. Among the several county orders captured by Gan Jing, only one person was not executed by the people, and the rest were beaten to death by the people, which shows how the county orders appointed by Yuan Ding usually oppressed the people. Gan Jing's move can be regarded as a breath of evil for the people. At the same time, Gan Jing's style of fighting righteousness and chivalry has also won the recognition of the general public, so the discussion that Jizhou is ruled by King Yan is more suitable than the general Yuan Ding, quietly arose among the people and became a hot topic of discussion.

Yuan Ding had the intention of sending troops and horses to encircle and suppress the naval army of Gan Jing's department, but the "Jinfan thief" was really alert and well versed in the essence of guerrilla warfare. Yuan Ding's subordinates did not have a navy, but from beginning to end, Yuan Ding never thought that the battle with Yuan Qi would use the navy, so at the beginning of the war, he transferred most of the navy to the trial match, so that the trial match intercepted Ugong Zhaolie at the crossing of the Yellow River. Without the help of the water army, Yuan Ding was naturally helpless against Gan Jing.

Yuan Ding was helpless, quite anxious, but Yuan Qi was diametrically opposed to Yuan Ding's mood. After a short rest, Yuan Qi led 110,000 Yan Army and Jiangdong Army to approach Xinhe step by step, wherever Yuan Qi Wang Qi passed, the county towns along the way all looked at the wind and fell, and there was rarely a desperate resistance. Of the five county towns that stood in the way of Yuanqi's march, four Kaesong surrendered, and only one of them resisted, but it was taken by the powerful Digui Lux in only half an hour.

At the same time as the army, Yuan Qi ordered Zhao Hu, who was guarding Changshan, Zuo Ci, who was guarding Zhongshan, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were guarding Bohai, to divide their troops to help in the war. Zhao Hu and Zuo Ci didn't want to miss this great battle, and after making proper arrangements for the county they were guarding, they handed over the affairs of the county to their subordinates' right-hand generals, and then each led 5,000 troops to help in the battle. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who were guarding in the Bohai Sea, after consultation, Jiang Qin led the army to continue to stay in the Bohai Sea, while Zhou Tai, who was known as the desperate San Lang, led 5,000 Jiangdong troops to the direction of Yuanqi.

With these three people leading the army to come, in the Yan army camp fifty miles away from Xinhe, and Yuan Qi completed the division, so that the total strength of the Yan army reached 125,000 people, plus not far from the camp, ready to attack the Yuan army at any time 20,000 Qilin water army, the difference between the strength of the Yan army and the Yuan army was greatly narrowed, and the atmosphere of the decisive battle was very obvious, the coalition army composed of the Yan army and the Jiangdong army had already sharpened their swords and guns, and was ready for the final decisive battle at any time.

Knock knock - the sonorous and powerful war drums, beating the drum music of the general's order, were impassioned in the Yan army camp.

The general's order is the order of the Yuan Qi to assemble troops. After hearing the drum music of the general's order, officers and men at all levels gathered in the open space in front of the Chinese army camp. Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, Yuan got up and wore a golden dragon roaring heavenly armor, carried the Red Sky Sword on his waist, and stood majestically under his bright yellow Yanwang banner.

In just a few dozen breaths, the Yan army and the Jiangdong army had already assembled, lined up in a strict formation, and waited for Yuan Qi's order in a clear layer. In the Yan army, the military regulations of nine prohibitions and eighteen beheadings are strict, and there will never be a phenomenon of dragging mud and water, so the speed of assembly is very fast. Even the Qilin Naval Army cruising on the periphery, under the leadership of Gan Jing, quickly came to the nearest ferry from the camp, and set up a hideous Qilin battle flag, echoing the main force from afar.

"Soldiers, the time for the decisive battle has come. Yuan Ding was brutal and perverse, which made the people of Jizhou complain, and the king decreed that Zhang Zong and Zhang Long led an army of 20,000 to stay in the camp, and half of the Jiangdong children were left, and the rest of the people were left behind, and the rest were to go to Xinhe with the king!

After receiving the order for a decisive battle, the army of more than 100,000 raised their weapons one after another and shouted: "We will win! We will win......

Subsequently, Yuan Qi led a group of generals to lead an army of 90,000 to advance into Xinhe, under Xinhe City, and joined forces with the 20,000 Qilin Army who came in time, and the 110,000 army was arranged in a formation layer by layer under Xinhe City, and the north of Xinhe was outside the city.

Yuan Ding, who had already received the news, put on his armor, accompanied by dozens of civil and military officials under his command, and came to the north city wall, looking at the majestic Yan army under the city, Yuan Ding suddenly smiled, pointed to the bright yellow king flag of Yuan Qi, turned his head and laughed loudly at his subordinates: "You see, this Yuan Qi is probably crazy, and he dares to besiege the city with only 100,000 horses, doesn't he know that to launch a siege, the troops required to invest must be more than three times that of the defenders to have a chance of winning?" Could it be that Yuan Qi thinks that the 250,000 troops of our army stationed in Xinhe are not a piece of paper?"

According to common sense, Yuan Ding's words are not wrong, if you want to use 100,000 troops to launch a strong attack on a city held by 250,000 troops, it is absolutely impossible to achieve victory, so Yuan Ding's words provoked the laughter of most of the officials under his command, obviously, they also thought that Yuan Qi was crazy and lost. But a few people led by Feng Ji, but they couldn't laugh, they can be sure of one thing, Yuan Qi will never suddenly suffer from the disease of losing his mind, that is to say, Yuan Qi came to besiege the city this time, must have been carefully considered, moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Yan army, has long been recognized as the first in the world, there are not a few foreign warriors in the Yan army, which inspired the belligerent nature of the Han soldiers, the two complement each other, so that the combat effectiveness of the Yan army climbs, enough to be ten, this army has repeatedly created the myth of invincibility, Feng Ji They dare not underestimate this brave Yan army。

Under the city, the white horse and the golden armor of Yuan Qi came out in line, and the single halberd came to a place a hundred steps below the city of Xinhe, and shouted loudly towards the city wall: "Listen to the soldiers in the city, who dares to come and fight to the death with this king? If you can block this king's five moves, this king will lose, and this king will immediately retreat!"
