Forty-fourth one, the east hit the west

Early in the morning, Lu County!

The sun rises in autumn and sprinkles golden light. The mountains in all the fields are shrouded under the golden light. The three mountains of Lu County stand with tripods, and are also shrouded under the autumn light, full of blew. The three mountains of Lu County are Zoushan, Niqiu and Fangshan. The Si River flows from west to east and passes through the three mountains.

According to the three mountains, there are three cities, called Rencheng, Zouxian and Yanzhou.

The three mountains are tripods, and the three cities are the same. The three cities look at each other from afar and can support each other. Here are Xu Yuanlang's army stationed here. Among these three cities, Xu Yuanlang's elite troops are stationed, because they have received news that the Western Liang army is very likely to attack Xu Yuanlang's sphere of influence.

Xu Yuanlang had just started his army early, but his power did not expand on the largest scale. In the past, he had been sandwiched between Wagang, Hebei, and Huainan. He went eastward, and the power of Meng Haigong was holding it tightly.

If we look at the chess game, Xu Yuanlang's territory is not on the edge, but it can only be said to be a piece of chess near the middle abdomen. This piece of chess is very powerful, and when it was the most powerful, it went to Dongping in the north and Langya in the south. It is said that chess is inactive, but Xu Yuanlang is surrounded by Dongping, Lu County, Langya and Pengcheng, and it can be said that there is also a place to breathe.

But after the Xiliang army broke through Wagang, they collected all the land in Henan, headed east, and forced Pengcheng by the way. Xu Yuanlang did not want to contact him head-on, so he withdrew most of the troops in Pengcheng east of Weishan Lake with an order. In Xu Yuanlang's territory, Pengcheng can be said to be only half of the area left.

Xu Yuanlang only relied on these three counties and persisted for more than half a year.

In fact, the Xu family army endured humiliation and retreated, and always hoped that the Western Liang army would first pacify Dou Jiande, or hoped to be able to settle down in a corner and be a local emperor. After the Western Liang army captured Liyang and eradicated Wagang, there was no large-scale movement. For more than half a year, the Western Liang army had no large-scale war. Even if they entered Hebei last time and fought against Dou Jiande against Wei County, they were still about to come back. They did not fight life and death with the Hebei army. This made the Xu family army be lucky, and even made them think that the Western Liang King occupied most of the Central Plains. They were already satisfied. Everyone... OK, if you don’t hit me, I won’t hit you, that wouldn’t be a wonderful thing?

But I obviously did not turn into a miracle. The Western Liang army did not stop fighting, but had to accumulate strength to fight again. In just a few days, according to the military information, Jinxiang, Fang and the two places had already camped in tens of thousands of Western Liang army, like a man-devouring tiger, ready to move.

The Western Liang army was so fast that it was so fierce that it was really shocking.

Jinxiang, Fang and the two counties, separated by Zhaoyang Lake, Weishan Lake points to Rencheng and Zou County in the distance, and can bypass the two lakes at any time, which makes the Xu family army unable to sleep or eat.

After realizing that the Western Liang army had signs of sending troops, everyone thought that the Western Liang army would definitely take Dongping first and then go south with the trend. Therefore, Xu Yuanlang deployed heavy troops in Lu County early, hoping to support Dongping and defend Langya.

But no one had ever thought that when the King of Xiliang sent troops, even if he attacked Lu County, he was also Xu Yuanlang's heart. The King of Xiliang used his troops, and it was indeed unpredictable to the gods and ghosts!

Xu Chang stood at the top of the city, frowned, and heard the soldiers' urgent remarks and said in a deep voice: "Remember."

The soldier shouted: "This morning, another army of the Xiliang army set out from Shanfu County to increase troops from Jin Township. It is roughly estimated that there will be three thousand people. Cheng Yaojin stationed in Jin Township and summoned nearby ships. He also summoned nearby craftsmen to make small boats. Now there are hundreds of small boats arranged by the King of Xiliang on the side of Zhaoyang Lake."

"Talk again and report again." Xu Chang said in a deep voice.

The soldier was ordered to retreat and hurriedly left the city. Xu Chang frowned and pondered without saying a word.

Lu County is the confidant of the Xu family army. Xu Yuanlang asked his son Xu Chang to lead the troops to guard the army and sent many generals to assist him. However, Xu Chang had tens of thousands of elite soldiers, but he was still worried because in the past he was only facing bandits, but now he was going to fight against the Western Liang army, which dominated the world. He really had no idea.

The Western Liang army was in great heights and its combat capabilities were not without reason. After Xiao Buyi took the land of Dongdu, he could be said to have all the elite soldiers of the Dongdu's Guard. These elite soldiers had been through many battles, and many of them were Yang Jian's local team back then. In addition, the soldiers were well equipped, countless generals from the East Capital had command skills, and Li Jing had worked hard to train for several years. This allowed Xiao Buyi to deal with the most cruel war with a little training. These were key factors that could effectively fight against Li Mi's million-dollar Wagang Army with tens of thousands of soldiers. Although the Xu family army had been fighting for many years, it goes without saying that its combat effectiveness was already much worse. The only thing that could make them trust was the only geographical advantage!

Over the past few days, the Xiliang Army has continuously increased its troops in Jin Township, Fang and the two counties. It seems that there is no end to the end. It can be seen that the Xiliang Army is bound to win the Lu County. If there are two reasons for Xu Chang to support it, it is that the father's trust and the man's bloody nature.

Xu Yuanlang refused to surrender, but the man would not surrender at this time. Even if the Western Liang army could conquer Lu County, it would have to pay the price of bleeding. But why didn’t my father surrender? Is it worth it to continue to persevere for a castle in the air?

When he thought of this, Xu Chang felt awe-inspiring and wondered if he thought he would definitely lose this battle? Otherwise, how could he have such thoughts?

But... even if Luo Shixin had betrayed the generals and surrendered to Dou Jiande, how many of them had the ideal of restoring the great way of restoring the world? Even if his father was thinking about becoming a local emperor, how could everyone have equality?

Looking around the generals around him, Xu Chang asked, "What do you think... Cheng Yaojin has any tricks?"

One of them stepped forward and bowed, "Report to General Xu, this is the result of our initiative.

The man was named Zhou Wenju, a local general under Xu Chang. This time he took the initiative. It turned out that when Xu Chang led the army to garrison, Cheng Yaojin's troops were in Jin Township, and everyone was talking about it. Some people advocated defending the city, while others advocated defending the enemy outside Lu County. Zhou Wenju decided on a plan, saying that the waterways of Lu County, Pengcheng and Jiyin counties were crisscrossing, with Nanyang Lake, Zhaoyang Lake, Weishan Lake and other lakes separated by each other, forming a narrow and long natural defense zone. It is extremely difficult to advance quickly.

.Xu Chang should not abandon this geographical advantage to defend the city. The best way is to send troops to block the dangerous land intersection. In this way, Cheng Yaojin will never easily attack from Jinxiang and the two counties. As a result, Cheng Yaojin scattered soldiers in Jinxiang and the two counties. He set up camps and marched several times, and all encountered the tenacious resistance of the Xu family army. He returned without success. Cheng Yaojin remained silent. The reinforcements were more and more, and there were tens of thousands of people across the lake. The Xu family army did not dare to neglect for a day.

When Zhou Wenju asked for me, the lords and conservatives around him showed a embarrassed look. Xu Chang was even more worried when he saw it. He was a very capable person. After several years of training, he knew that the overall situation was the most important.

"The Zhou general's plan is good, but other brothers are also kind-hearted. I think the most important thing now is... everyone works together to peace in Paul County. Defeat the King of Xiliang, with his father's generosity, every brother will be rewarded with great rewards."

His words motivated everyone's enthusiasm and nodded, "General Xu said very well."

"Wenju... Cheng Yaojin is now still holding his troops and actively building ships. I wonder what you have to do?" Xu Chang asked. Zhou Wenju said in a deep voice: "Cheng Yaojin's intention is obvious. It is obvious that we strangled Dushan and Changwu two fortresses. He was defeated in several battles. He was blocked from land. He wanted to build ships and transport troops across the lake and cover our retreat..."

The generals were stern, and Xu Chang nodded and said, "What Wen Ju said is extremely true, and I think so too. Is there a way to solve it?"

"Take an initiative!" Zhou Wenju said in a deep voice.

The generals said in disbelief: "You are crazy when you take the initiative? Do you know that there are tens of thousands of Xiliang troops in Jinxiang now, and they are still in continuous reinforcements! How many troops can we use to attack?"

Zhou Wenju said: "I am not crazy, the military strategy is difficult to be easy, and it is difficult to attack them. We have been holding on for more than a month, and they only thought that we would not dare to send troops and would be lazy. At this time, Cheng Yaojin was unable to defend against the troops. Besides, what we have to overcome now is not the Xiliang army, but the fear of them. The Xiliang army is definitely not invincible. Their retreats in the past few times this month are a good explanation for this point. Besides, we are not going to attack the Xiliang army, but the small boats on the shore of Zhaoyang Lake. As long as we use light cavalry to burn those small boats from the shortcut, make Cheng Yaojin's army become a toothless tiger, and the morale is low, that is when our army attacks. If we defeat Cheng Yaojin's army in one fell swoop, let alone defend Lu County, even counterattacks the east!"

The generals looked at each other, with great skepticism. Xu Chang slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Wen Ju is good at making a plan, and it will be your wish!" He has been holding back for too long and he doesn't even want to counterattack the East. Maybe he hit the King of Xiliang hard, isn't it a pleasure to do his life?

A soldier hurriedly climbed to the wall and said, "Report to General Xu, Lei Ze has an emergency military situation."

"Remember." Xu Chang did not look back.

"Liu Fuli checked: There are signs of the Western Liang army appearing in Jiyin. I am afraid that the Western Liang army will attack Dongping heavily, so I also ask General Xu to send troops to support him."

The generals were stunned and said, "This is... unlikely."

From the analysis of the situation, attacking Lu County will result in 40,000 to 50,000 Xiliang Army, and there will be a constant reinforcement. If the King of Xiliang will divide his troops to capture Dongping, if the troops are even, it will require tens of thousands of troops. These tens of thousands of troops can be transported to the two counties in a few days. How could the Xiliang Army have such speed and dispatching ability?

Zhou Wenju said: "General Xu, this is probably the suspicious plan of King Xiliang. I entice us to divide the troops to support, and then attack when Lu County is empty. We must be on guard!"

Xu Chang was hesitating, but when he heard his subordinates' suggestions, he had made up his mind, "Go and come and report it again when the news is correct!"

There are two mountains in Dongping County, with continuous remnants, Lishan and Liangshan are divided into west and east, overlooking the common people. Dongping County has two major cities, divided into Leize and Yuncheng, which are more than a hundred miles apart. According to the terrain, they look at the mountains in the distance.

There is a lake road in Lu County as a natural shield, but Yuncheng is leaning against the giant wild zodiac, like a water monster crawling out of the lake, looking fiercely at Liangshan ahead.

Dongping is also wary, Lei Ze and Yuncheng are both closed.

All the troops in the land had retreated to the city because they also smelled the danger. The Xiliang army was not far away from them. Xiao Buyi was on Lishan, overlooking the Landaize City in front, frowned.

Of course, his goal has not changed. He should take Dongping first and then go to Lujun. This is the land strategy he and Zhang Zhenzhou formulated, and it will never be changed easily.

Of course, every time the plan is implemented, it will assist in some suspicious plans. This is also their usual method. The way of military strategy is virtual and real. If your enemy sees your combat intentions clearly, it cannot be said that you will definitely lose. But when fighting again, it will obviously take several times of your strength!

Any detail of the combat plan has been repeatedly finalized, and the rest is to wait for strict implementation. Xu Yuanlang must be taken to attack Dongping County first; if you want to attack Dongping County, of course, Kraze City first!

Lei Ze and Yuncheng look at each other from afar. Yuncheng is leaning against the Giant Wild Ze, and it is not easy to attack. Of course, the best way is to lure the defenders out and gather and annihilate them. However, the defenders of Yuncheng are also very cunning and cannot be easily released. In this case, first Kleize first, then take Yuncheng, divide the troops to ambush the rescue route, and fight against the troops coming to Yuncheng. Everything is in an orderly manner, clear order, and move randomly!

Sun Shaofang stood aside and sighed: "King of Xiliang, Lord Zhang began to send troops."

Maybe they couldn't see Leize City, but they looked over from the mountain and saw a lineup of soldiers in a neat lineup, pushing carts and sledding toward Leize City.

After raising troops for a thousand days, using troops for a while, the battle to attack the city has officially begun!

The one who guarded Lei Ze was Liu Fuli, the general under Xu Yuanlang. He was resourceful and he was not allowed to defend the city. He only waited for reinforcements. Objectively speaking, it was of course much more difficult to attack the city. Liu Fuli was waiting for his work. Not sending troops was really a tough problem.

But even if he is an iron plate, under the operation of Zhang Zhenzhou, he still has to crack. Xiao Buyi is bound to win this trip and will never be defeated.

Only by looking over the mountain can you discover the horror of the Western Liang Army.

Although the Xiliang army was large in number, its formation was extremely neat. Even during the march, they still maintained their advance and retreat. They may not be the bravest army, but they are undoubtedly the most disciplined army.

The whole country of the Sui Dynasty, and now if we want to say that the discipline is strict, only the Tang army can be compared. Because the foundation of these two armies is also an elite army trained by Yang Jian, the founding king of the Sui Dynasty.

Thinking back then, the Sui army fought east and west, and even fought overseas, wasn’t it a reason for no reason!

The Xiliang army spread like ants. When they turned around the foot of the mountain, they looked over the mountain. Lei Ze City was already ready for battle. Xiao Buyi had a sharp look and saw that the Xu family army was swarming forward like ants, rushing up to the wall, lowering their bodies, waiting for battle in rows, rows and rows.

Everyone was hiding behind the battlements, looking at the Xiliang army rushing towards him like a hungry wolf, fighting for life and death, and it was about to break out!

The spear and short sword were shining with a chilling light, and the stars were dotted. The entire Leize City, with bows and arrows and crossbows, had turned into a hedgehog-like, erecting hard thorns all over his body, waiting for the Xiliang Army to come to him. This was the most common thing in his life.

With a gentle sigh, Xiao Buyi said, "Shaofang, how many times has this been the siege?"

Sun Shaofang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't remember it very much. I only know that there are always cities after cities during the journey of King Xiliang, and you... can always conquer it."

"Yes, there are always cities." Xiao Buyi's eyes crossed Lei Ze, the distant mountains, and looked farther away. It was a bit beyond his expectations to be able to reach the current level, but he had to go on. After conquering Lei Ze, there were more Gucheng waiting for him to conquer.

The Xiliang Army and the Xu family army were getting closer and closer, and killing was inevitable. Xiao Buyi's eyes were withdrawn, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, mixed with cruelty, "This city will end the same way!"

The Western Liang army had already attacked Lei Zexi City at this moment, and countless toad carts were the first to lead the way, with shield soldiers guarding it. With a crack, countless iron shields poked slightly inclined in front of the moat, setting up a steel wall!

As the drums sounded on the city, the flags swung, and the arrows tilted down towards the moat like rain, blocking the first wave of attack by the Xiliang Army. They had seen the intention of the Xiliang Army. The King of Xiliang tried to use a shield to cover the toad cart, fill the moat, and clear the first obstacle before the siege.

Only when the moat is leveled can the Xiliang army march straight into the city and launch a second round of attacks.

Of course, this method is definitely not impossible to crack. If troops were sent from the city, they could break the toad cart, but Liu Fuli refused to open the city to attack no matter what.

Because he had already seen a large army standing far away, and the front was in full swing, but they were waiting for him to leave the city. As soon as he rushed out, the Xiliang army would swarm and trap him into a place that would never be restored. So he could only watch his opponents in an orderly manner blocking water and breaking the flow, adding ditches and flattening!

Although the long arrow is sharp, it still looks weak and powerless.

Xiao Buyi saw him on the mountain and murmured: "Don't Liu Fuli really want to go out of the city to fight?"

Sun Shaofang had already seen the form clearly and smiled and said, "Going out of the city is to die, not leaving the city is to wait for death. Although the city is high and the walls are thick, they are not able to succeed. After all, they are... stopping the car with a mantis arm, overestimating their abilities!"

The two of them stared at the movements of Leize City from the top of the mountain. When they saw the attack and defense, they both looked calm. A soldier hurriedly went up the mountain and said, "Report to the King of Xiliang, there is military information in Jinxiang."

Xiao Buyi opened the document and looked at it, "Cheng Yaojin used a trick of suspicion. Nearly 10,000 troops were in and out, expanding camps, and forming signs of reinforcements. He had successfully delayed the army of Lu County. At present, Xu Chang had no plans to reinforce Dongping. If the news was waiting for the news to spread, even if he came to support it, it would be at least ten days later. And in these ten days, too many things could have happened."

Sun Shaofang was excited and said, "General Cheng is indeed a powerful person. He only used less than ten thousand troops, so he was shocked that Xu Chang's elite soldiers did not dare to act rashly! If Xu Chang knew the truth, he would be afraid of vomiting blood in anger."

Xiao Buyi smiled and said, "Cheng Yaojin seems reckless, but his troops are extremely steady. General Qin has blocked the attempt to defend the Hebei army's southward journey. Shaofang, Lei Ze, and Yuncheng are already isolated and helpless! Shaofang passed the news to General Zhang. Now we have no scruples anymore, let him start siege as planned!" After the order of King Xiliang to siege, the Xiliang army had filled the moat and started the first round of siege.

Zhang Zhenzhou sat on the Central Army's sentry tower, looking at the movements of the city tower from afar, frowned, but ordered one after another.

The Xiliang Army advanced and retreated in an orderly manner and attacked in an orderly manner. However, the Xu family army guarded the city also knew that at the moment, life and death were on the front line, and the city was lost, they were afraid that they would die without a place to bury themselves. At the critical momentum of life and death, all the soldiers stimulated their potential. The city was as powerful as the top of the city, and the Xiliang Army was already breathless.

When Sun Shaofang saw this, he changed his face. He now understood why Xiao Buyi was still so cautious even when treating a Leize City. This battle is no different from the past, but this battle is actually very different!

Because in the past, whether it was defending the Eastern Capital, fighting against Mangshan, attacking Liyang, and Clokou, it could be said that it was a battle to defend the Xiliang army and the local areas. In order to protect their homes, they could inspire unimaginable combat power! Although this attack on Lei Ze seemed insignificant, it meant that the King of Xiliang and his soldiers began to change their roles.

From the past passive defense to the current active attack, the Xiliang Army must be able to withstand this test. By the same token, although the Xu family army is a bandit, they have been operating here for many years and they are guarding their families, so they will naturally fight for their lives!

After understanding this truth, when he saw the King of Xiliang frowning, Sun Shaofang couldn't help but clench his fists.

As expected, the resistance encountered by the first attack was extremely tragic. Zhang Zhenzhou changed the method of siege several times, but he returned in vain. Before the sunset, Zhang Zhenzhou had already sent an order to withdraw his troops!

The setting sun was like blood, pouring on the city and under the city. Everyone looked at the broken blade and limbs, retreated silently, and speechless in victory.

When Sun Shaofang saw that Xiao Buyi was also silent, he wanted to comfort him, but he had no idea. The current tragic tragedy was obviously nothing, because the battle was just beginning! At that time, he heard the sudden sound of drums in the Xiliang army, and the battle shook the sky. Countless Xiliang soldiers rushed out in an instant and continued to attack the city.

In the dark night, I saw shadows under the city like tide. The Xu family army was shocked for a moment, and they held the weapons and arrows in their hands tightly and were ready to fight.

Judging from the shouting, this group was several times more intense than during the day. The Xu family army rushed to the wall and was ready to fight. They only saw arrows like rain and shouted in the sky. But after one night, except for the horses running under the city and the arrows like locusts, no one attacked the wall. The Xu family army muttered to themselves, thinking that the Western Liang army was extremely sharp and won every battle. When they saw each other today, they were just like that! But in the night, they could only hear the rumbling sounds. The Xu family army was frightened and did not know what the Western Liang army was doing.

By the early morning of the next day, the Western Liang army had stopped and dawn appeared in the sky. The defenders at the city head looked out and suddenly screamed. Liu Fuli looked out and couldn't help but take a breath. He saw countless earth and rocks piled up under the city wall, and the end was as high as two people. It turned out that the Western Liang army had taken advantage of the night to cover the city yesterday and began to build soil under the city. Although the earth and rocks were still far from the city head, the shock caused by the Western Liang army was simply destructive!

If it is at this speed, I am afraid that the soil will pile up to the wall in a few days, right? Liu Fuli was frightened. At this time, a drum sounded in the opposite camp. The Xu family army was frightened again. He thought that the Xiliang army attacked the city again. Unexpectedly, more than a hundred cavalry came out and lined up on both sides. The flag bearer held high the flags, the flags fluttered, and wrote a big letter to Xiao!

A man with a white horse and spear, wearing golden armor, crossed the crowd. After a single arrow from the city, he waved his spear and saw the three armies solemn and ten thousand horses silenced. When the Xu family army saw it, their hearts were beating wildly. They never dreamed that the King of Xiliang would actually lead the king to seize Leize City in person!
Chapter completed!
