Under the city of Handan.

Arrows rained down, and 20,000 Zhao troops besieged the city on three sides and stormed Handan City.

Although the Xia army guards in the city resisted desperately, they were very tired after a day of fierce fighting, and soon on the east side of the city wall, three hundred Zhao army soldiers occupied a city wall and opened a gap.

The soldiers in the city held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and fought bravely against the besieged Xia army.

As the battle progressed, the follow-up Zhao army 6 continued to enter the city, and the city soldiers had stabilized the battle line and began to counterattack the Xia army.

Seeing this scene, all the generals of the Zhao army were overjoyed, and Li Chongjiu, who was sitting in the town, also nodded, and soon after, Handan could already break the city.

When Li Chongjiu was watching the battle situation in Handan City, a general rushed to Li Chongjiu's handsome banner and said: "Youjing is urgent! ”

"Read!" When Li Chongjiu heard that it was a report from Youjing, he knew that there must be another movement in the Turks.

"The capital of the weak water prefecture told Youjing, saying that the cavalry of the Turkic Turkic tribe sent troops to Wuhou Qinshui in the area!"

As soon as these words came out, the joy on the faces of the generals present faded. First there were 60,000 Turkic horses, and now they are the Turkic tribes.

"Got it."

Xue Wan said: "Khan, now even the Turki Ministry is dispatched. Chu Luo's intention is to add troops and pressure a little bit, or is he really going to attack Zhao? ”

When Li Chongjiu heard this, he asked, "Yinghefu, where are the soldiers and horses of Eto, now?" ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "King Qiqi, after the capture of Wu'an, Yinghefu and Etuo were resting nearby, and did not send troops to fight. ”

Li Chongjiu nodded when he heard this, but did not speak, and Xue Wan said on the side: "Does the king intend to transfer the 50,000 cavalry of Yinghefu and Etuo back to the grassland at this time?" to counter the Turkic offensive. ”

Xue Wanche said: "That's right, the next is the battle of attacking Zhaozhou, and the cavalry of the Fan army is useless in the siege battle, so it is better to transfer back to Saiwai." ”

"Never." Everyone saw it, and it turned out that Zhang Xuansu spoke out against it.

Li Chongjiu asked, "Zhang Shilang." Why not? ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "Our army dispatched 120,000 men and horses in Xia, and now we are dividing troops to guard several counties in Hebei, and we want to garrison Liyang, and the troops are already insufficient. Liu Heimin still has a main force of 30,000 horses in the city of Laozhou, and if our army transfers 50,000 cavalry back to the grassland at this time, then there will be no wandering soldiers in his hands, and he can be mobilized. If the situation of the battle changes at all, it is likely that the overall situation will collapse. ”

After Zhang Xuansu spoke. Li Chongjiu nodded, and after he arrived in Handan with an army of 20,000.

Xu Shiji, the main force of the Zhao army led by Wei Chigong, also arrived in Zhaozhou from the north, forming a north-south joint attack on Yongnian City. But Liu Heimin also sent light cavalry from Yongnian City to ambush Xu Shiji's front army. As a result, the two front armies clashed in a battle. Xu Shiji's army support arrived immediately, making Liu Heimin's ambush strategy a failure.

Although the two armies did not win or lose in this battle, Liu Heimin's active defensive posture made the generals of the Zhao army dare not take it lightly.

In terms of tactics, Liu Heimin is still very successful. Liu Heimin's Xia army did not blindly defend Yongnian City, but waited until Li Chongjiu's main force arrived at the city and formed a siege, and then carried out a stubborn war of resistance to defend the city.

The so-called active defense is offensive defense, and Liu Heimin uses offense to find fighters. Changing the current disadvantage, the worst can also delay the time for Li Chongjiuhe to besiege Zhou.

Liu Heimin successively defeated Wei Chigong and Ying Hefu, so that the Xia army was in a desperate situation, but with 6 consecutive victories. Fierce morale of the summer soldiers. It can be seen from today's attack on Handan City that the morale of the Xia soldiers has not yet collapsed, and Liu Heimin used his active defense strategy to bring a glimmer of hope to the Xia soldiers.

This time, if Xu Shiji is a veteran soldier, I am afraid that he will also encounter the old rut of Wei Chigong and Yinghefu. If the generals of the Zhao army were all defeated under Liu Heimin, it would really be a serious blow to the morale of the Zhao army.

It's really a famous general in Hebei! Li Chongjiu couldn't help but sigh.

At present, his situation, on the one hand, is Liu Heimin's stubborn resistance, on the other side, the Turks want to withdraw their troops from Hebei with their strength, and in Henan, Li Tang destroyed Wang Shichong's attack on Zheng, which has been spread with great fanfare.

It can be expected that if Li Chongjiu retreats now, the good situation in Hebei will be buried, and then whether it is Yu Wenhua, or Wang Bo, or Liu Heimin, one of the three of them, or Xu Yuanlang, Meng Haigong and others, will take advantage of this rise, and it is definitely not Li Chongjiu who has withdrawn.

If Li Tang is allowed to capture Luoyang again, then for Li Chongjiu, there is only one sentence, that is, to do a big thing.

What should I do now, Li Chongjiu was thinking carefully, but at this time, there was a burst of cheers above the city.

Li Chongjiu and all the generals raised their heads, but saw that the banner of Zhao Zi was already fluttering above the tower of Dongcheng.

Several Zhao soldiers were holding thick-backed machetes and were slashing the iron chains on the suspension bridge, and the sound of gold and iron was combined.

Cut off!

Somebody said a word, the chain on the drawbridge was cut off, and the drawbridge hung down from the city gate with a bang, slamming heavily on the moat, and stirring up a puff of yellow-brown dust.

The cavalry of the Zhao army, who had been waiting for a long time at the city gate, neighed with thousands of horses, and without waiting for the dust to disperse, all the cavalry galloped across the drawbridge.

Dozens of cavalry gathered in front of the city gate, and the cavalry reined in front of the city gate and circled, and then drew their swords together and slashed at the closed city gate.

There was a loud bang at the city gates!

"Bastard, just cutting down the drawbridge and the city gates?"

"Lao Tzu wants to enter, and the work of breaking the city belongs to Lao Tzu."

The cavalry roared.

There was a roar in the city gate, and as the east tower of the city occupied the city, the arrows on the city head became weaker and weaker, and more and more cloud ladders were erected on the city head.

Sergeant Zhao ascended the city from the top of the ladder......

Half an hour later, Li Chongjiu and the generals were already riding their horses on the streets of Handan City.

"Although the Xia army resisted bravely, our army only took one day to break through Handan City. At present, Liu Heimin is only left in Yongnian City, a lonely city. Xue Wanche said excitedly.

Li Chongjiu nodded and said to the generals: "I have decided to order the 30,000 cavalry of the Yinghe Fu Department to support Yanmen and go to the valley. ”

The generals were stunned for a moment. Zhang Xuansu was suddenly silent.

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "Wu'an, Handan, Liyang, and the daimyo will each order a general to sit in the town, and each will leave 5,000 men and horses to guard, Li Wenxiang, Li Deyi will pacify the counties of Hebei for me, as for the rest of the counties, I will not divide the troops to garrison, all of them will be assembled under the Yongnian City, as for the 20,000 cavalry led by Eto, and the main force of our army will be under the city of Zhaozhou, and Liu Heimin will fight for the final victory!" ”

Li Chongjiu looked at Zhang Xuansu, and Xue Wanshu asked, "The two Aiqing are my advisors, what do you think?" ”

Xue Wan said: "Weichen is meaningless. ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "Although this is not the best policy, it is not the next policy, it seems to be a compromise, but all generals can accept it." Therefore, there is no point in being a minister. ”

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "Zhang Aiqing, there is something to say. ”

Zhang Xuansu said: "The best policy is often too risky, the lower policy is too conservative, and often the middle policy is the best decision, isn't it?" The king. ”

Li Chongjiu laughed when he heard this.
