The Battle of Boling has lasted for nearly a month.

The Tang army was not in a hurry to attack the city every day, but just kept persuading the surrender.

The Boling defenders heard the ears of their ears, but they did not dare to slack off because no one knew it. One day, the Tang army would take advantage of the unprepared defense and the army would directly press forward, and the main target was caught off guard.

Shi Siming in the city saw the Tang army behaved like this and speculated that this move must have profound meaning.

However, the inability to see through the Tang army's intentions made Shi Siming anxious and furious every day.

On this day, Shi Siming looked at the letters in his hand in the convention hall, so angry that he couldn't even tore the paper to pieces and shouted: "A bunch of dogs! No one is willing to send reinforcements! They are all traitors!"

The generals in the hall looked at each other, and finally Shi Chaoyi walked out and said carefully: "Father, I heard that rebellions in the surrounding prefectures and counties are everywhere, and the troops in the hands of officials from all over the country are not as strong as possible... Some officials, after learning that the Nine Gates were defeated, began to contact the Tang army, and they must be discussing the surrender to the enemy."

Shi Siming said angrily: "After killing these Tang troops, I must kill all these fence-bearing men before I can relieve my hatred!"

After saying this, Shi Siming looked at the deputy general Zhong Baofu next to him and asked, "Before, I asked you to ask Luoyang for help, can you have a reply?"

Zhong Baofu lowered his head and said, "Luoyang has come to reply, saying that the prime minister of Tang State Fang Guan led an army of 200,000 and approached Tongguan. Luoyang has insufficient troops and cannot send reinforcements to Hebei anymore."

Shi Siming said angrily: "Don't they understand that Hebei is the foundation! The gang of wastes in the court, Yan State will sooner or later be defeated by these people!"

After scolding for a long time, Shi Siming sat in his seat tiredly and asked the generals: "The Tang army was at the city but did not attack the city. Do you have any explanation for what the hell are you doing?"

The generals looked at each other, and for a moment, everyone was silent.

Seeing this, Shi Siming cursed, "A bunch of useless food buckets..."

Before he finished speaking, a guard outside the door stumbled and ran in, shouting: "Master, it's not good... it's not good! Pinglu City is broken, Fan Yang is in a hurry!"

Shi Siming was shocked all over, almost unable to believe his ears, and stood up and asked tremblingly, "What did you say just now?"

Guards: "The Tang army general Pugu Huaien led 10,000 Shuofang troops, joined forces with the Uighurs, and circled the northern part of the Mo, instigated the Bayegu, Pugu and other tribes, and invaded Pinglu. Also, the Tongluo tribe and the Xi tribe in Hebei also joined the rebellious army after hearing that the Supreme Emperor died!"

Shi Siming's eyes turned dark, his feet were unstable, and he almost fell down.

Shi Chaoyi was sharp-eyed and quickly stepped forward to support Shi Siming.

The latter calmed down, broke away from the support, walked to the guards, picked up the battle report, looked carefully, and sighed to the sky: "No wonder the Tang army outside the city was not anxious or slow down. It turned out that they had hidden such a move!"

Shi Chaoyi said anxiously: "Father, Fan Yang is the foundation of Hebei, so you must not lose anything!"

After being shocked, Shi Siming sat back in his seat, his face was gloomy and he suddenly asked: "What's wrong with the Tang army outside the city recently?"

Shi Chaoyi was stunned: "It's strange? They just stayed in camps every day, and it's nothing... It's a strange thing to say."

Shi Siming: "Strange thing?"

Shi Chaoyi: "In just a few days, when I was cooking in the morning, I climbed up to the city tower and found that there were much less stoves in the Tang army camp, and the smoke rising from the cooking stove was not as dense as before."

Shi Siming opened his eyes wide: "What? Are there fewer camps?"

Seeing Shi Siming's face changed drastically, Shi Chaoyi couldn't help but ask, "Father, what's wrong?"

Shi Siming: "You idiot! Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Shi Chaoyi showed grievances. These days, Shi Siming had a bad temper and often punished his subordinates with trivial matters, so everyone had nothing to do and was unwilling to anger him.

Seeing that the generals in the hall were puzzled, Shi Siming explained: "The reason why the Tang army outside the city was not in a hurry to attack the city was because they were waiting for news from the Northern Army. The Tang army captured Pinglu on the North Road and began to attack Fan Yang. The outside of the city must have learned one step ahead of us. So a few days ago, the Tang army began to reduce the stove in the Tang army camp, which meant that they began to divide a side army and went north to meet with Pugu Huaien, intending to siege Fan Yang together."

When Shi Chaoyi heard this, he asked with a shocked look on his face: "The reason why the Tang army outside the city did not attack the city..."

Shi Siming nodded and said, "There are not few camps outside the city. The Tang army seems to have not moved. The purpose is to shock our army and prevent our army from acting rashly. A part of the Tang army's troops may have begun to move north. The remaining army here has only one purpose, which is to drag our army and prevent us from supporting Fanyang."

Shi Chaoyi immediately said anxiously: "Father, then we should go north immediately!"

Shi Siming: "Fan Yang must rush to help, but when to go out and how to go out, we must also find a way to do it rashly, and we cannot act rashly."

After saying that, Shi Siming assigned tasks to the generals, sorted out supplies, packed up supplies, and then explored the omissions in the defense of the Tang army in the Qing Dynasty.

After some investigation, Shi Siming discovered that although the Tang army surrounded Boling City, the defense of the East Gate was a little relaxed. In addition, the Tang army was most relaxed at the Yin hour (early morning), and soldiers even slept soundly when the guards were on duty.

Therefore, Shi Siming decided to take advantage of the relaxed defense of the Tang army, and the entire army sneaked out of the city and rushed to Fanyang to help.

On this day, the sky was full of stars and the moon was slowly sinking.

Shi Siming, who led a 15,000 army, ordered his soldiers to cover the horse's hooves with linen, then cover the horse's mouth with a chewy piece, open the city gate with a slight hand and walk north along the path.

Seeing the Tang Army camp in the night, without any notice, Shi Siming breathed a sigh of relief.

The Yan army walked out of the city for ten miles, but when they saw that there was no Tang army chasing them, they gradually relaxed their defenses, and some soldiers even started to chat and laugh.

At this moment, a sound of drums came from the roadside.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! A Tang army, who had been ambushed, suddenly came out in a formation, and an arrow like raindrops fell into the Yan army's formation.

For a moment, the Yan army was caught off guard and retreated repeatedly.

Guo Ziyi rode on a horse, stood in the Tang army's formation, and shouted to Shi Siming: "Shi thief, the general had long expected that you would leave the city and flee north, and quickly dismount and surrender!"

Seeing this, Shi Siming gritted his teeth and shouted at the general beside him: "Zhongbaofu, Fan Zhu, you two, take your subordinates to face the enemy head-on, and the rest follow me to flank the enemy!"

The Yan army was divided into two batches, one of which was Zhongbaofu and Fan Zhu, the 4,000 infantry led by two Yan generals, lined up and rushed forward; the other group of people, led by Shi Siming, directly launched a charge to the flanks of the Tang army.

Facing the attacking Yan army, Guo Ziyi commanded the front line to stabilize the formation, and asked the crossbowman to shoot and kill the enemy.

On the way to charge, the Yan army often had to pay several lives every step forward.

After dozens of steps of suffering, Zhong Baofu and the Yan army infantry led by Fan Zhu finally collided with the Tang army. The two sides burst into a shocking roar, and blood and residual limbs splattered everywhere between swords and guns.

Shi Siming led the Yan army's cavalry to attack the Tang army's flanks, but unexpectedly the latter was prepared for it.

The Tang army took out the tower shield that had been prepared on the flank, embedded the nail ring on the hem into the soil, and tilted the shield slightly to reduce the impact force of the cavalry during the impact.

As soon as the Yan cavalry fought against the Tang army's flanks, they found that the cavalry could not shake the formation on the flanks. Instead, they broke a lot of people and horses because of spears and crossbows.

After several charges, Shi Siming had no idea when facing Guo Ziyi, an old turtle whose defense was airtight, and he had no idea.

Seeing that the military formation under Guo Ziyi was getting closer and closer, and was almost about to form an encirclement, Shi Siming was unable to give an order, which was to throw away the infantry of Zhongbao Fu, Fan Zhu and the others broke through to the north.

Therefore, Zhongbao Fu, who was used as the current formation, became the two Yan generals, and became Shi Siming's abandoned sons and dragged Guo Ziyi's army. Shi Siming led a large group of people to escape from the encirclement.

After Shi Siming escaped from Guo Ziyi's encirclement, he did not dare to rest at all and fled to the north.

It was already dawn, and the defeated soldiers of the Yan army came to a stream. Seeing that the pursuers were far away, Shi Siming ordered a rest for a while.

Having just drank two sips of water, Shi Siming had not recovered yet, he heard another horn coming from the woods beside the stream.

A cavalry of thousands of people rushed from the woods and directly attacked the Yan army's front.

A general in the cavalry, holding a horse spear and a strong bow on his back, rushed towards Shi Siming while shouting: "Li Guangbi has been waiting here for a long time, but the thief Shi has not surrendered?"

When Shi Siming heard the name Li Guangbi, he was so scared that he trembled all over.

Seeing that the Tang army was coming in full force, Shi Siming knew it was unmatched, so he quickly ordered the soldiers to line up to guard against the Tang army's attack.

However, the Yan soldiers were drinking and resting by the stream, and many people even had their armor untied. There was no time to line up to meet the enemy in a hurry.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Shi Chaoyi first helped Shi Siming on his horse, and then said mournfully: "Father, you will leave first with your personal soldiers. Chaoyi will leave behind to block the enemy."

Shi Siming glanced at Shi Chaoyi without any attempt to keep him. He just said a good word, then rode his horse and fled to the distance with a close confidant.
