The Huainan Army officially launched an attack on Liyang, more than two days earlier than the field battle outside Huatai City.

As the most important defensive point in Hebei, Liyang is also composed of a large and small stronghold. Although the number of Yedi troops stationed here reached tens of thousands, after the transfer of nearly 10,000 elite soldiers in a short period of time, it still brought great pressure to the defense.

This battle is actually more similar to the battle of Huaishang a few years ago, except for offensive and defensive transposition. Of course, in terms of military strength, the Huainan Army is still inferior to the Southern Expeditionary Army led by Shi Hu, but the control of each other's troops is not the same, and the Huainan Army only exists and implements one will.

Moreover, Shi Kan's biggest disadvantage is that he fell into passivity from the beginning, not only failed to make sufficient arrangements on the opposite bank before the official arrival of the Huainan Army, but even the most basic control of the Yellow River waterway was at a disadvantage, so that the geographical advantage of the Yellow River was taken advantage of by the Huainan Army.

The Liyang boats were already insufficient, and after being transferred a large number of them, they were completely powerless to stop the Huainan army's attack on the river. As a result, at the beginning of the battle, the front-line battlefield advanced directly to its doorstep.

This is like if at the beginning of the Huaishang War, the Huainan Army was directly blocked by the slave army in Shouchun City, and if there were no major variables in the follow-up, it would be doomed.

The entire Liyang defense system included the city of Liyang on the north bank of the Yellow River and several acropolis, as well as three ferry crossings, plus several river islands near the river banks. Tens of thousands of Yedi troops in Liyang were distributed in these strongholds, but they were not completely assembled to trap Liyang City.

Among these strongholds, a river island called Tsumio became the focus of the initial battle. The scale of this river island is not small, narrow and curved like an oxtail, located on the southwest side of Liyangjin, a few miles away from the river bank.

There is little vegetation on the entire river island, and the surface is covered with a thick layer of crust, which has been enlarged by the recent drop in water levels. In the past, it was a stopover for boats before they arrived at Liyangjin, and during the war, it became an important supply point for both sides.

Huainan's huge naval army was scattered on this stretch of the river, and it would take a short time to fully assemble, so the first wave of the offensive was only nearly 7,000 naval troops near the shore who participated in the attack.

The enemy army arranged a full 5,000 troops on this river, and equipped with a large number of fortifications, strong crossbows, water drainage and rejecting fences, including many large ordnance such as shooting rods and trebuchets fixed at the mouth of Jin, which shows the importance attached to this river island as the southern gate of Liyang.

At first, the Huainan army's offensive did not make much progress, and dozens of warships could not even approach this river island. After all, this river island has been in operation for many years, and now it has been inherited by Yedi Shikan and has been rebuilt to a greater extent.

Moreover, the capacity of the Huainan Army that attacked at the beginning was not too high, and if it could not carry out a long-term and continuous attack, it needed to be returned and replenished, and there were several hours between the exchanges, which was enough for the enemy to recuperate and replenish the shore.

However, as the navy army has gathered here, there are more than 200 boats of all sizes alone, and the navy supervises Lu Yong, Xu Mao and others to supervise the battle. On the one hand, the river island was besieged on all sides, and on the other hand, a fleet was divided to cruise in the waters between the river island and Liyangjin to blockade it.

As for the replenishment of machinery, it was completely handed over to several large ships of Chang'an size to transport back and forth. After a day and night of hard fighting, this river island was finally attacked. As for the thousands of defenders on the river island, in addition to more than 1,000 killed in battle, the rest directly abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

The acquisition of the river island meant that the Huainan army directly pushed the forward base into the river, which was only a few miles away from Liyangjin. The next step was a rapid increase in troops, and a large amount of material was also transported to the river island.

Within a day of taking Hezhou, the Huainan army gathered nearly 30,000 soldiers and ships here, and more than 300 boats, even directly surpassing the enemy army assembled in the direction of Liyangjin. If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few river islands directly connected to the land on both sides of Liyangjin that were still holding on, they could even attack Liyangjin directly!

And with the Huainan army putting on such an aggressive posture, Shikan naturally did not dare to slack off, and the army gathered near Liyangjin. Looking from the river island to the shore, there are black and oppressive human heads and barracks of varying heights, and the land is barely visible.

In the narrow area from Liyangjin to Ganwei Hezhou, the total number of soldiers gathered by each side reached 70,000! The shortest distance between the battle lines was even less than ten feet, and each other's words could be heard clearly.

As for the next collision, it became tragic. Although the enemy's boats were useless, they were also relative to the overall military strength, and there were still nearly 200 small and medium-sized warships moored at the docks of Liyang and other places, and if you add those simple and easy-to-build rafts, this number would be even more.

And with such a close distance between the two sides, many flexible tactics of moving forward and retreating are useless. Although the enemy fleet was far less than that of the Huainan Army, it was even directly blocked at the ferry in frontal combat, and it was impossible to counterattack at all.

But Shi Kan also showed the ruthlessness of fighting for his life at this time, directly organized dozens of speedboats loaded with diesel paste, brazenly rushed to the fleet of the Huainan Army to block the ferry, and then launched a fire attack with a suicidal decision, which brought a lot of casualties to the Huainan Army, with nearly 20 warships and more than 2,000 soldiers killed, including even a Chang'an ship.

Although the follow-up timely organization of resistance contained the enemy's frantic counterattack, Lu Yong and others, who were the former superintendent of the Huainan Army, regarded it as a great shame.

In this battle, Shen Zhezi still stayed in the rear of the sour jujube formation, and handed over the command of the battle to Lu Yong, Mao Bao and other generals. Several generals discussed it and then decided to return the color.

As a result, the thousands of prisoners who had been imprisoned on the river island, including more than 1,500 people from each of the Qianghu and Tu, were selected and transported by warship to the position facing Liyangjin, and they were slaughtered on the sidelines, and none of them were spared. For a time, the river was red, and the blood rushed to the bank, and even the bones of the soldiers were thrown into the enemy camp with tools.

Such bloody methods of the Huainan army brought a great shock to the Yedi army on the opposite side, and at the same time caused great riots. Moreover, the follow-up directly launched an attack on the nearest river island in Liyangjin, and nearly 100 warships were put into it at one time, and the flags covered the sky and the sun.

As soon as the blood-stained warship sailed to the near shore of the river, the enemy troops in the camp on the riverbank collapsed in fright, and the whole battalion fled. If it weren't for the fact that at the most critical moment, Shi Kan personally led his own soldiers to hold the position, and the riot might even spread to the whole army!

However, even if it was temporarily stabilized, the situation in Liyang became precarious, and the two river islands near the shore were lost one after another, and the Huainan army was directly clubbed under the nose, almost to the extent of face to face.

In the Liyang camp, the situation has reached an extremely fragile point, a large number of soldiers are completely shrunk in the extremely narrow area from Liyang City to the ferry, the whole camp is crowded, the soldiers are each restrained in their respective barracks by strict military orders, and it is strictly forbidden to go out, and even water needs to be sent by special troops every day.

If the team carrying water is late, then the soldiers will have to endure hunger and thirst in this hot weather, even if the river is nearby, if they dare to go out of the camp to get water, they will be shot on the spot by the soldiers patrolling the camp immediately!

Such a high-pressure atmosphere has caused unprecedented unity among these generals in Yedi, because they have been driven to a dead end, and the current situation is on the verge of breaking out.

Even those heroic military leaders with a high degree of autonomy, the vast majority of their soldiers are trapped in this square circle, and once the army is defeated as a whole, these people's respective troops will definitely disperse in a hurry. And in such a grim situation as now, if their respective divisions are scattered, what capital do they have to survive?

And now, even if it is too late to surrender to the enemy, although the Huainan army is close at hand, but due to the cruel killing intent that the Huainan army showed to Qianhu and Tu Ge before, the soldiers of these two tribes are now lined up in the front line. They will definitely fight the Huainan army to the death, and they will not sit back and watch the Jin people surrender to the enemy under their noses.

Therefore, the only hope for these people lies in the killing moves that Shi Kan had prepared before, after all, more than 10,000 soldiers and nearly half of the material dispatch have already been known to the whole army. And Shi Kan also swore that this move would definitely work and would definitely be able to turn the tables around.

So at present, in addition to trying their best to stabilize their own troops, these generals are frequently going to the Shikan tent, and when they meet, they must ask when the turnaround will come?

"It's coming, it's coming! Don't see that the southern thieves are rampant at the moment, but General Han has already led nearly 10,000 iron cavalry deep behind the enemy, and smashed the heart of the southern thieves, and the collapse of the thief army is only instant! ”

Faced with the generals' questions over and over again, Shi Kan didn't dare to avoid it with a tough attitude at this time, and simply explained this killing move.

He still underestimated the strength of the southern thief, or overestimated his own strength, originally thought that even if more than 10,000 soldiers were withdrawn, with Liyang's current military strength, at least he could maintain the situation of the tenth day, and when the southern thief was difficult to take care of the end and collapsed.

But now it seems that the southern thief was still conservative before, and did not do his best, once he fully exerts his strength, with his already unfavorable situation, it is really difficult to resist for too long.

Of course, he also understood that the reason why the southern thief was still gathering momentum at the moment had nothing to do with him, but because he was worried that Shi Hu in the rear might intervene in the battle. And once its army is completely mobilized, with the current situation of its army, the collapse will only be instantaneous.

Therefore, Shi Kan's current vitality is only tied to Han Yong's part of the division. If Han Yong can't cause a great disturbance on the south bank of the Yellow River, then he will die here!

At present, the distance between the two armies is not far away, and those hateful southern thieves organize prisoners, shouting and shouting on the front line over and over again, day and night, and the sound can even be vaguely heard in the big tent of the Chinese army.

As for the content of the shouts, it is nothing more than Tu Ge and Qianhu, the two major rebel clans, living in the land of Jin and eating the Jin people, which is heinous, and he Shikan turned his back on his ancestors and recognized the thief as his father, which is a great crime.

The tremendous pressure caused the hair to turn gray almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wrinkles on his face increased even more. As for the words shouted by those captives, Shi Kan was still ashamed at first, but now he has gradually become numb, and he has turned to a stomach full of bitter grievances.

"Father-minded? Cheap dogs don't turn their backs, and their pawns don't change their sacrifices, if there is a choice, who is willing to turn their backs on their ancestors and recognize thieves as their fathers? ”

Shi Kan couldn't sleep at night, and recently he had frequent visions in front of him, constantly flashing all the things he had experienced in the past half of his life, and then he felt even more aggrieved.

Sometimes, he was angry in his heart, and he really wanted to rush directly to the southern thief Shen Weizhou and ask a few times, if he was a pawn, born in this turbulent world, he could die in the wilderness at any time, what would he do? He just wants to live, has it become his fault to survive? So who is innocent in this world?

As time went on, the generals came to inquire more and more frequently, and their tones became more and more agitated. In order to deal with these people, Shi Kan could only order Yecheng to reinforce some more people, and now there are more than 20,000 soldiers left in Yecheng, Shi Kan plans to transfer another 10,000 to the south, and first stabilize Liyang's military morale.

Although in this way, the defense of Yecheng has become extremely fragile, and even the people around Yecheng cannot suppress it if there is a riot. If Shi Hu divides his troops to the south at this time, he can even take Yecheng without much effort.

"Ji Long is probably going south to ......"

Although Shi Hu and his people may not take Shi Kan in their eyes, Shi Kan has regarded Shi Hu as a target for victory for a long time, so there is no lack of study of Shi Hu's use of soldiers, and his temperament can be said to be quite understanding.

Although Shi Hu's main target is still in Xiangguo, Xiangguo has now been oppressed to the point that only a lonely city is left to defend, which is not enough to contain all of Shi Hu's troops.

His people had previously taken the initiative to abandon Qingzhou and shrink their forces to Hebei, which must have been the idea of taking advantage of the fisherman. In particular, Yecheng is regarded as a base for meritorious deeds by others, if it were not for the orthodox existence of Xiangguo and the ancestors represented by Shi Daya, I am afraid that Shi Hu's primary target is still Yecheng.

Shi Kan believed that no matter how fierce the war in Xiangguo was, Shi Hu would definitely keep one eye on Yecheng. He is like an experienced hunter, sometimes he seems violent and cruel, sometimes he can endure for a long time, only waiting for the moment when the target reaches the weakest moment, and then he will pounce, and receive the most abundant results with lightning speed and the least cost.

"Probably such a person is the one who can really win the world......"

Shi Kankut sat on the embankment along the river, looking at the dark river surface rippling under the night breeze, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his gray beard and hair were raised with the night wind, which made his description even more dejected.

In order to avoid the frequent questioning of the generals, he simply left the big tent under the pretext of patrolling the camp and avoided the river. Looking at the silhouette of the Huainan military boat moored not far away, his brows furrowed tightly.

It has been more than ten days since Han Yongnan went, and Shi Kan was still full of expectations at first, but gradually this anxious expectation dimmed, followed by despair.

Han Yongnai is the only one of the few old generals left under his command now, and he must know the importance of this trip, and he also knows the current situation of Liyang, so after crossing the river, he will definitely launch an attack on the Huainan Army as soon as possible.

However, until now, the south is still silent, and the Huainan Army still maintains the high-pressure pressure on Liyang, and continues to increase troops in an orderly manner, without the slightest sign of appeasement in the rear.

There is no sign, and it is also a sign. Although Shi Kan was still using Han Yong as an excuse to appease those generals, in fact, he himself was completely desperate.

In the face of the questioning of those military leaders, in fact, he was full of ridicule in his heart, these dog thieves one by one relied on their township capital, delusional left and right, but they did not know that in the eyes of the really powerful people, their tricks that they thought were brilliant were really clumsy. A group of dog thieves who were kept in the dark, unaware of the imminent death.

Han Yong's killing move was no longer enough to be counted on, and Li Yang's current situation was not enough to resist the final attack of the Huainan army, even if he retreated, there was still a stone tiger eyeing him. At the moment, whether it is fighting or retreating, Shikan is already a dead end.

After understanding that his fate was predestined, Shi Kan gained a rare tranquility, and even looked at the two people in the north and south who had driven him to death with a playful gaze.

Obviously, both parties have regarded him as a mortal person, but at the moment, they have a tacit understanding to maintain restraint and do not cut the last sword.

Shi Kan is looking at himself with an open-minded vision at the moment, probably Shi Hu hopes that he can fight back on the verge of death and inflict heavy losses on the Huainan army, so as to make it easier for his people to take Yecheng. And the little raccoon dog in the south should also hope to force him back to Yecheng with a general momentum, and then the army will slam and use the lives of his subordinates to crush Shi Hu's subsequent attack on Yecheng.

Two people who are completely different from each other regardless of their background, background or experience, because they each have the kind of heroic spirit, at such a delicate moment, they actually reached a subtle tacit understanding. And this tacit understanding can probably be called a heroic backbone, and its core is nothing more than one point, that is, to use the lives of tens of thousands of people in Shi Kan to gain as much advantage as possible for themselves.

"I don't know which side will make an early move......"

Shi Kan glanced at the dark river and the cloudless starry sky in the north, and then a wonderful feeling was born in his heart, as if the one who could dominate the world at this moment had become him, a man who was destined to be defeated and killed. There is even a delusion that if he leans towards either side, which side will become the only king in the world.

"It's really a bad life, and it's better to work for half a life than to die in the end!"

He raised his hand and twisted his withered, messy beard under his chin, his eyes full of self-deprecation. Both of these parties are borrowing him to make things happen, and which side should he turn his heart to?

Intellectually speaking, he should use his spare heat to help Shi Hu, and fight back to hit the Huainan army hard, so as to make it easier for Shi Hu to take Yecheng, after all, they are all the way, even if they are not in harmony with each other, but most of his life has been in the country.

However, it was probably because of the dying of people that good thoughts emerged, and he felt that he should help the Huainan army, and take advantage of the fact that the army had not yet collapsed to fight back against Shihu, or only need to retreat slightly, and the Huainan army would naturally pounce and drive those soldiers to crush the army sent by Shihu to seize Yecheng.

But he didn't want to help either party, Shi Hu was too domineering, bullied him repeatedly, and even treated him as a slave. And the little raccoon dog in the south was even more hateful, and kept calling him a sinister seed, because he was probably the most famous sinister in this world.

However, he had no third choice, either to stay and fight to the death, or to flee and disrupt the Northland. Just like when he was weak in his early years, he either recognized the thief as his father or died on the spot.

But he struggled for half his life, but the situation was not as good as when he was a child, and he made a choice at that time, at least he felt happy at that time, and it also brought himself decades of scenery. But now, no matter how you choose, it's death!

Soon, however, Shi Kan didn't have to worry about it, because he found that he had no choice at all.

"Yecheng has been lost? Who took it? ”

At dawn, nearly a hundred ragged soldiers rushed into the camp and were quickly escorted to the river embankment, reporting to Shi Kan a major news that Yecheng had been breached!

After all, it was the evil tiger that came out first?

Although he asked a question, Shi Kan knew that most of the Huainan army was now assembled in Liyang, and they were fighting each other-for-tat, and the one who could take Yecheng at this moment was most likely Shi Hu.

But before the defeated soldiers could answer, the soldiers on the side had already pointed to the river and exclaimed, and Shi Kan turned his head to look, and his face suddenly became gloomy. I saw that the Huainan military boats and boats on the river were spread out in a big way, and thousands of sails were competing, obviously to launch the final decisive battle!

The riot spread to the entire battalion in a very short time, and a large number of generals flocked to the embankment to ask what Shi Kan was going to do.

"Coping? Are you still qualified to respond? ”

The Huainan military boat was already very close to Liyangjin, and as soon as it was spread, the fierce pressure of iron and blood rushed towards it. The soldiers who defended the river bank were still full of righteous indignation, saying that they would fight to the death with the Huainan army to avenge their fellow clans, but now, they were the first to flee, throwing away the armor soldiers one by one, holding their heads and running backwards.

But soon, those Hu soldiers were not lonely, a Huainan big ship sailed into Liyangjin under the tow of several fighting ships, the bow of the big ship was stacked with high heads, and in front of those heads, there was a person who was tied to the deck that leaned out by kneeling with his hands cut back, and it was Han Yong, who had led the cavalry south to sneak attack the Huainan army!

"So, that's Han Yong? How was he captured by the Huainan Army? ”

Thanks to Shi Kan's frequent indoctrination in the past period, the generals of Ye Di have already tacitly agreed to a consensus that Han Yongnai is the key to winning this battle, and it is a big killer weapon that can inflict heavy damage on the Huainan army. But now, the weapons of great destruction that they have hoped for are kneeling on the warship of the Huainan Army without an inch and with a disgraced face!

"The King, the King......"

There were many chaotic roars around him, but Shi Kan didn't hear it, he looked into the void with confused eyes, and let the soldiers pull him back. What really made him desperate was that it wasn't until the moment before his defeat that he realized that he was still overestimating himself, and the illusion that he could determine the general trend was still an illusion.

The Liyang camp was already a big bow full of strength, and it was either angry and angry, or the bow was broken. In the current situation, it is obvious that the string is broken.

Shi Kan was coerced by his own soldiers and fled backwards, and some of those generals also rushed backwards under the protection of the troops, but some people quickly took out the plain linen robe that had been prepared early in the morning and wrapped it around their bodies, rushed to a place with a wide field of vision, and kowtowed to the approaching warships of the Huainan army: "Surrender, surrender!" Greet the king and cross the river......"
