After Hejian County surrendered Zhuge Dewei to Zhao from Raoyang, Liu Heimin's defense in Hejian County was already in a precarious situation.

Xu Shiji, the general of the northern front, still led the army to surround Gaoyang and attack outside, and when he heard that Li Chongjiu had gone straight down the river, he went deep into Zhaozhou and reached the hinterland of Liu's army. At the moment, let Yinghefu and Eto lead 30,000 grassland iron horsemen, bypass Gaoyang City, take Raoyang City, and go straight to Xindu County to support the main force of Li Chongjiu's water army under Daimyo City.

The defenders of Wuyi, Wucheng, and Zongcheng in Xindu County were almost about to collapse, and they had just passed through Li Chongjiu's army from the territory two days ago.

But this time, Li Chong's 930,000 grassland horsemen swaggered through the city again.

After several years of attacking the Central Plains, the grassland army is also proficient, and has several hemp bags in the Central Plains.

It was almost September, outside the countryside of Wuyang County, when the sorghum was ripe. Fancai saw that the defenders in the city had nothing to do, and directly took food under the city. Xindu County is as follows, a small city like Chengcheng, it has long been unbearable, and before the grassland fan rode to the city to rob the grain, the county commander in the city took the initiative to surrender the city.

The reason why he took the initiative to surrender the city was because Yinghefu and Eto had already issued a strict order to Fanqi, and they were not allowed to attack and harass the subdued cities, but they were not among the other enemy cities. Therefore, Fanqi boldly crossed the border like locusts under the city of the Xia army that had not yet surrendered, harvesting the enemy's grain.

Seeing this, other Xia army guards who were rebelled by Zhang Xuansu also surrendered in 66.

In addition to Changle and Wuyi, the rest of the counties have fallen by two-thirds in just a few days.

In the end, Ying Hefu's cavalry even went deep into Xiangguo County, where Li Shentong was stationed, to get food. The defenders of Li Tang wanted to counterattack, but they were defeated by the grassland cavalry, and even the county seat was simply broken by the red-eyed cavalry of the Murde Xi Division.

After Cheng Mingzhen was captured, the Xia army in Guantao City was no longer meaningless.

At present, the county commander and the gentry in the city, Li Chongjiu, dedicated the city.

Li Chongjiu stopped for a moment outside the Pavilion Tao City. After appeasing the local gentry, he left a lieutenant with 300 soldiers to assist in defending the city, and he led his army to continue to board the ship. Because Guantao was breached, and then the county administration of Qinghe County was in Qingcheng, Wang Xiaohu also surrendered to Li Chongjiu.

Linqing, the capture of the two cities of Guantao, made the eastern defense line of Zhaozhou open. It also makes the waterway unimpeded.

Li Chongjiu ordered Li Wenxiang, with 3,000 men and horses from his headquarters, to lead an army to enter the city of Zhushui, while threatening the important town on the northern wing of the Yongnian City, and recruiting the counties of Wu'an County. Then he ordered Luo Shixin to lead 5,000 cavalry along the canal to the south and into Neihuang. It echoes with the Yu culture and army of Liyangcang.

As for Li Chongjiu's main force of 25,000 men directly to the north of the Daimyo6, the defenders of the Xia Army's Daimyo City did not dare to go out of the city to fight, Li Chongjiu captured more than 30 large and small warships of the Xia Army, and 500 sailors surrendered without a fight.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu led his army to the city of Daimyo, and the soldiers of the city saw that on the canal, full of ships of the Zhao army, across the river. Shockingly, 300 of the 1,000 defenders fled overnight.

And the city general is also in a dilemma, thinking about whether to follow the example of Linqing, Guantao generally surrendered, and at this time heard that Liu Heimin had led the main force from Xindu back to Zhaozhou, and immediately dispelled his mind.

Liu Heimin led the army out of the nest from Zhaozhou, and the main force of the 32,000-strong Xia army came straight to Daimyo.

This is the first duel between Li Chongjiu and Liu Heimin, and of course Li Chongjiu knows that Liu Heimin is already repelling Wei Chigong at this moment. At the beginning, Wei Chigong was the bait that had been arranged earlier. lure Liu Heimin away from the Chongdi of Zhaozhou, so that Li Chongjiu's boat master could go straight down.

But in the battle between Wei Chigong and Liu Heimin, he was defeated and retreated to Zhao County, you must know that although Liu Heimin's troops have an advantage, but Wei Chigong's troops are all the government troops of Taiyuan County, which is the elite of Li Chongjiu. Wei Chigong's result was not up to Liu Heimin. Although the Xia army has an advantage in numbers, it also shows that the Xia army's combat power is really good.

And at present, Liu Heimin is coming to protect Zhaozhou, and he is violent, and it is not easy to decide the outcome of the battle with Li Chongjiu.

After Li Chongjiu heard the news. At present, he led the army back thirty miles under the Daimyo Castle, and immediately chose a place to camp fifty miles north of the Daimyo Castle.

Li Chongjiu had only set up camp for a moment, and he had already seen the north from afar, and the smoke and dust were rising. Liu Heimin led the main army of the Xia army to attack, and Li Chongjiu's military camp was not completed, and the soldiers couldn't help but show panic.

The cold wind by the river whistled and swirled across the plains.

Li Chongjiu looked up and saw that the black clouds in the north were dense, and the flags planted in various parts of the camp were crackling in the wind. A black line in the distance, like a flood of rising tide, is slowly approaching, and it is Liu Heimin's army.

In the face of the menacing army of Liu Heimin, Li Chongjiu discussed with the generals the strategy of retreating from the enemy.

Ji Chuan said: "Liu Heimin's army is in battle, if we can't break our army within a few days, Xu Dudu and the grassland elite cavalry will go straight down from the letter capital between the rivers, and then Liu Heimin will fall into the situation of being attacked on his back." So my military is delaying the war. ”

Ji Chuan's words came out, and all the generals agreed, Li Chongjiu attacked the Xia State this time, and adopted the strategy of separate and combined attacks.

Separate and combined attacks are more risky than the tactics of heavy troop gathering and frontal advance, and if the various corps do not cooperate properly, it is easy to make the risk of advancing alone and breaking through each of the enemy. But Li Chongjiu wants to seize Hebei, just because he doesn't want to fall into a protracted advance war, otherwise he will fight with Liu Heimin for one city and one place, even if he fights with Xia Jun for a year or two, even if he wins, but after Li Tang destroys Wang Shichong, and then clean himself up, the outcome will be the same.

Ji Chuan said: "Liu Heimin has now repelled Wei Chigong in Xindu, and returned to the division to fight our army. Time is precious, but as long as the battle is a draw, our army will win. But our army also has disadvantages, the lone army is thousands of miles away, and once it is defeated here, it is the total annihilation. ”

The generals were all stunned when they heard it.

Xue Wan said: "Yes, the current situation of the battle of the Daimyo is related to the victory or defeat of Hebei, our army wants to compete with Li Tang for the world, and it must defeat Liu Heimin and sweep Hebei within this year, so it is urgent from the perspective of the overall situation of the world, but Liu Heimin is fighting our army alone all the way, and its advantage is in the battle, so we should be slow from the perspective of the situation in Hebei." ”

Xue Wanche said: "Thinking about defending before fighting, don't you think that our army and Liu Heimin can be satisfied by a draw, haven't you heard of it, take the law from the top, and only get it." Liu Heimin was anxious to come to the battle, and it was expected that our army would take a defensive position, and if it was a large-scale attack, our army would blindly defend, and it would fall behind. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "General Xue is reasonable. ”

After Xue Wanche heard Li Chongjiu's approval, he said: "Weichen has a while, both offensive and defensive, but he can break Liu Heimin. Speaking of this, Xue Wanche looked at Zhang Xuansu and said: "I heard that Zhang Shilang knows astronomy and geography, and the soldiers and horses are all fine, but can there be a strange array in his chest that can break Liu Jun?" ”

Zhang Xuansu knew that Xue Wanche was not angry, and yesterday in front of Li Chongjiu, he was pulled out by himself, so he came to regain face.

Zhang Xuansu said: "General Xue praised it falsely, and Zhang didn't dare to be ashamed." But at this moment, Zhang happened to want for a while, I don't know if it coincides with General Xue? ”

Xue Wanche smiled when he heard this: "That's a coincidence. ”

Ji Chuan looked at him coldly and said: "That's easy, just take the pen, put the book in the palm of your hand, and see if the two coincide?" ”

Speaking of which, Zhang Xuansu and Xue Wanche each wrote in the palm of their palms, and spread out their palms to look at each other, but saw that Xue Wanche wrote the word 'but moon', while Zhang Xuansu wrote the word 'Liu Yu' in his hand.

When the two saw each other, they understood that the two really coincided, and they laughed at the moment.

For example, Wang Mahan and other generals did not know what to do, and what Zhang Xuansu and Xue Wanshu discussed was that when Liu Yu, the martial emperor of the Southern Dynasty, led the Northern Expedition of the Navy, he set up a battle of the moon on the side of the Yellow River to break the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty with 2,000 people.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu ordered Xue Wanche and Wang Mahan to set up a formation in the west of the river with 10,000 elite soldiers, and put on a two-end formation hugging the river and taking the river bank as the moon string. 10,000 elite soldiers marched 100 steps away from the river, and arranged a line more than two miles wide, with trenches, rejecting horse guns, and horses instead of chariot formations, and the rest of the foot soldiers were armed with bows and crossbows.

Outside the moon array, there was a canal, relying on the boat as the city wall, and the rest of the men and horses retreated to the boat.

This time, in order to attack Zhaozhou, Li Chongjiu carried siege bed crossbows, countless eight-tip guns, and these siege weapons that could shoot hundreds of steps were all placed on the boat. Now it is also placed on the deck of a large ship, across it. The soldiers adjusted the crossbow machine and aimed it at a hundred paces away.

At this time, Liu Heimin's 32,000 army had already rushed to the river, and he saw the scene of Zhao's army lining up by the river.

Liu Heimin ordered the army to slow down, and when he saw the scene of the Zhao army lining up against the river, he felt a trace of vigilance in his heart after a long time on the battlefield.

His brother Liu Shishan said: "The commander of the Zhao army should not be a person who does not know the art of war, and if he spreads his men and horses on such a wide front, once he breaks through for our army, he will not be cut in two." ”

"No, the enemy's reliance on ships for the city is equivalent to defending the city and placing the soldiers under the walls to fight our army."

"I see," Liu Shishan suddenly realized.

On the side, Ling Jing said: "If what I expected is good, Zhao Jun's deployment here is the moon formation of Liu Yu's Northern Expedition to break Wei. ”

Liu Heimin said humbly: "Please Brother Ling say something for a certain point." ”

Ling Jingyan said: "Ling is ashamed, it's just a guess, I heard that his formation is a foot, a horse, and a navy division The three armies formed a backwater array. At that time, Liu Yu used this array to defeat the 30,000 elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty with more than 2,000 people. It's just that except for Liu Yu, no one can see the moon array back then. I don't believe that the commander of the Zhao army can put on this formation, I don't expect it to be just a pretense of his name."

"Ha," Zhang Junli laughed and said disappreciatively, "If there is really such a powerful formation, then what else will our army fight." ”

When Liu Heimin heard this, his expression was solemn and he fell into deep thought.
