Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 128
At dawn, the bandit army retreated reluctantly, leaving behind more than 1000 corpses.

Li Yue also didn't close his eyes all night, and had a clear understanding of the strength of the various ministries under his command. Chen Duan was a veteran, but Zhu Xu was quite a famous general. He guarded the whole night, and the casualties were only a mere twenty.

The worst is Zheng Hui's county soldiers, who are weak in combat power and will. If the supervisory team is not pressing behind, they may be the first to collapse.

It is a valuable experience to defend a city with 2 troops to defend a [-] enemy army.

Some people are natural geniuses, but Li Yue knows that he is not that material, so he can only make up for it by working hard the day after tomorrow.

If there are many roads to go, a road will be stepped on.

Isn't everything in the world a process of practice makes perfect?

Moreover, Li Yue felt that those who worked hard the day after tomorrow were not necessarily worse than those who were born. The outcome of a war depends on many factors, not just on the battlefield.
Not an hour later, he pushed the crash car and made a comeback.

It seems that he will not give up until he breaks the city.

This time, they were besieged from all sides, and tens of thousands of people attacked in an overwhelming manner.

Arrows were strewn all over the top of the city, and some of them hit Li Yue's teeth on top of his head.

This scene naturally couldn't shake Li Yue.

"The city is broken!" The bandit army shouted wildly from below the city.

Li Yue looked around, and it turned out that a section of the city wall on the southwest side of Nancheng was hit by a car and a big hole was made. Countless bandits cheered and laughed.

There was also a panic on the city wall. Someone was just about to turn around and flee, but suddenly saw the supervisor standing behind him, and continued to fight without saying a word.

Behind the broken walls are antlers, pits, and trenches.

Anything that is forewarned is established or not forewarned.

Li Yue had expected this scene a long time ago and was well prepared, so he didn't panic.

Xu Cheng had been waiting for a long time with a thousand Heiyun troops, and he shouted: "Come quickly and die!"

When the bandits saw heavy weapons such as maces, bones, and hammers in the hands of the Heiyun army, they seemed to be awakened with terrifying memories. One bandit army made up his own mind: "No, it's a trick!"

After speaking, he turned and fled.

"Why don't the rats go!" Xu Cheng has always been brave and has been recharging his energy for a long time. Now that he catches the opportunity, he naturally refuses to let it go and leads his men to rush over.

The collapsed hole is not big, and only two or three people can pass through it at a time.

So many people wanted to go out, but they couldn't get out because they were crowded together.

Xu Cheng led more than 200 people to catch up, one by one, smashed to death more than 100 people blocked in the city, and piled up the corpses of the bandits as bricks and stones at the breach...

The siege battle lasted from Si time at noon to Shen time in the afternoon.

Two hours after the truce, another onslaught was launched.

The city wall collapsed more often, but there was still a line of defense behind it, which instead strangled more bandits.

The attack continued until dawn, and Xingyang City was still standing.

Li Yue hadn't closed his eyes for almost two days, and so did most of the soldiers. They were more tired and sleepy than Li Yue. They killed the enemy with a knife and spear in their right hand, and poured a mouthful of meat soup into their mouths with their left hand.

On the third day, it was also a high-intensity onslaught.

The thieves seem to have noticed that if they don't break through Xingyang, they will stop here.

For them, they can only move forward, not backward.

Under the spring sun, the whole Xingyang City seemed to be blood-stained, and the stench of corpses was everywhere.

Looking down from the tower, even the Sishui was dyed red, flowing slowly to the east.

On the fifth day, the rebel army was finally exhausted and stopped attacking the city.

The corpses piled up under the city, reaching half the height of the city wall, and at least [-] people were killed or injured. Even so, they failed to break through Xingyang.

The defenders also suffered heavy casualties, especially Zheng Hui's county soldiers, who suffered nearly half of the casualties.

And at this time, Ran Min finally appeared, "The bandit army is exhausted, and our elite soldiers are formed. Within two days, they will be defeated!"

Li Yue looked into the distance, that's what he said, but he was definitely not the only one staring at this feast.

"You have worked hard these past few days. After breaking the thief, I will definitely ask for some rewards for you!"

"Don't you dare? I was born in Xingyang, and I have the responsibility of guarding the land."

If you want to get a share of Jie Zhao's demise, you must have a title...

At this moment, on a low hill to the northeast of the battlefield, several riders were cruising around like vultures, keeping their eyes on the battlefield for a moment.

Then a few riders suddenly sprang up from the southwest side closer to the battlefield, rushed towards the mound quickly, and then ran north together.

Cross the Yellow River on a boat that has already been prepared, and rush to the direction of Liyang.

After being transferred back to Zhang Hedu, the strength of the Liyang camp has reached [-].

However, Yan Wang Shi Bin of Jie Zhao is not ready to fight.

The longer the army is held in hand, the more generals can be recruited.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Shi Bin sat cross-legged, gnawed on the leg of lamb in his hand, his beard was covered with crumbs, and he was somewhat ferocious in his life.

Guanzhong was pacified by him, but it was Shi Bao who picked the peaches. Shi Bin was transferred back to Yecheng and idled for seven or eight years. Now that Shi Tao and Shi Xuan were dead, he became the most skilled man in the Jie Zhao clan.

"The crown prince is ten years old, your majesty... is in poor health, and there is chaos in all directions. The only one who can stabilize the country is the king of Yan!" Several eunuchs complimented by the side.

"That traitor Liang Du doesn't mean anything. If the King of Yan came out, he would have been pacified for a long time."

But Shi Bin didn't respond, he just gnawed on the lamb leg in his hand, biting the bone with his yellow teeth, making a rattling sound, which made the eunuchs dare not speak again.

At this moment, an old-fashioned voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Where is King Yan?"

Without waiting for the guard outside to answer, he directly opened the curtain and broke in.

Shi Bin glanced at the visitor, put down the leg of lamb in his hand, "What's the purpose of Lao Qiang's visit here?"

Yao Yizhong glanced left and right, "Your Majesty sent King Yan here to hunt down thieves, why did you stop here?"

"Thieves are rampant, why rush?"

"The thieves were first defeated at Hulao Pass, and they have been attacking Xingyang for a long time. It's time to attack!" Yao Yizhong stepped forward, grabbed the mutton on the plate in front of Shi Bin, and gnawed it unceremoniously.

"You old Qiang." Not only did Shi Bin not mind, he laughed out loud.

"King Yan, General Chaqi is asking to see you." The guard outside the tent said.

Yao Yizhong frowned.

Shi Bin shook his oily hand, "Send him in."

"only!"

Not long after, Pu Hong lifted the curtain and came in, bowed his hands and said, "I pay my respects to the King of Yan."

Seeing that Yao Yizhong was there, he was not surprised, "Greetings to General Zhengxi."

Yao Yizhong was an envoy, servant, and general who conquered the west, and he was higher than Pu Hong in terms of official position and status.

As soon as the eyes of the two met, they suddenly became sharp.

Shi Bin knew why and asked: "What's the matter with you?"

Pu Hong looked away, "The bandit army has become a tired army, it's time to make progress, and great achievements are just around the corner!"

Shi Bin looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Let's march tomorrow! Defeat the bandits for me, and leave no one behind!"

"Old Qiang is willing to be the vanguard!" Yao Yizhong said in a deep voice.
