Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 190 Defensive Line
After Li Nong was taken down, the situation changed.

Jie Zhao's strategy of attacking from north to south was shattered, all he had to do was block Ran Min.

And Ran Min didn't have that much energy and time to spend in Yanzhou.

As long as Li Yue is willing, it will not be difficult for Li Nong to break through Xiapi, Pengcheng, and Shouchun.

However, these cities along the Huai River are built on top of Jiangdong, and sooner or later they will face their Northern Expedition, and these cities have always been affected by Jiangdong.

The current Heiyun Mountain does not have the strength to control such a narrow and long area, and the population of these cities has been moved back to Jiangdong. An empty city is useless, and Shouchun was burned by Chen Kui...

There were still more than 1 captives in Xuecheng, most of whom were beggars, so they did not resist much when the city was broken.

Most of them are very self-conscious and don't cry or make trouble.

Dong Run received special attention, and when he escaped from Dongcheng, Li Yue did not send troops to stop him.

The Heiyun army had just rested for two days, when Ran Min's vanguard cavalry had already entered the north of Surabaya.

Li Yue took the captives and Li Nong to the north.

In just a few days, Lu County changed. Along the south bank of Sishui, there were deep ditches and high fortifications, with heavy antlers. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were busy on the south bank.

"If you get the right way, you will get more help than if you have lost the way. Li Nong, as a native of Jin, harms the race. A man of insight must hold a grudge. How can a general be invincible if he seeks obedience?" Cui Jin is dressed in Confucian armor, wearing a white robe slantedly, with a long sword hanging from his waist, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, showing the temperament of a Confucian general.

Li Yue laughed and said, "How many victories has Li Nong won since he raised his army? If my Heiyun army can't even fight against him, how can we fight against Ran Min?"

Pick a persimmon and pinch it softly, a famous saying from ancient to modern times.

Cui Jin smiled, "This battle has greatly inspired people's morale. In a few days, reinforcements will definitely come."

After killing Li Nong, Ran Min's [-]-step cavalry was nothing to worry about.

As for the soldiers from Qingxu County in the north, Zhang Yu in the south originally came to join in the fun. Zhang Yu really wanted to fight, and he definitely wouldn't just bring 1 people.

Li Yue's heart moved, the situation was good, so he should strike while the iron is hot, Chu Po retreated in embarrassment, not only Li Yue, but also Liu Qi from Yanzhou were the ones who were hurt.

Regardless of the outcome of this great battle, Liu Qi's fate will not be good.

"Liu Qi of Dongjun may persuade him to surrender with a few words!"

To win the entire Yanzhou without a fight, and try to preserve the vitality of Yanzhou, the time is now almost ripe.

And Liu Qi's income also added a little more momentum to this battle.

Still the same sentence, it is not a good thing to have a decisive battle with Jie Zhao in advance. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Jie Zhao still has a lot of vitality. It is best to sit down and talk.

Cui Jin cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate will personally go to persuade Liu Qi to surrender!"

Li Yue stared at him for a while, and the original candidate in his mind was Chen Duan, but Chen Duan was a good fighter in the front line, but he might not be able to play tricks.

Cui Jin lobbied Xuanyuan Mountain before, although she was unsuccessful, she didn't hurt herself.

Seeing Li Yue's hesitation, Cui Jin said: "Don't worry, General, Liu Qi is like a fish swimming in a cauldron, and he catches his breath for a while. We will take him in, and we can't ask for it. This person is a famous person. If you go here, even if the negotiation fails, you can rest easy."

"Okay!" Li Yue nodded, now is not the time to be hypocritical.

Surrendering Liu Qi and taking over Yanzhou is the biggest bonus of this battle.

Cui Jin moved as he said, and after handing over the defense to Xu Cheng and Liang Xiao, he rushed to Dongjun with a hundred or so riders.

Li Yue served Li Nong with delicious food and drink in Lucheng, fearing that he would be tempted to commit suicide for a while, but this kind of worry was unnecessary. Li Nong ate and drank well and was in good spirits.

Three or four days later, Ran Min's infantry also came, followed by [-] to [-] county soldiers and tens of thousands of civilian husbands.

On the north bank of Surabaya, there are dense fortifications and spears shining in the sun.

However, Li Yue's reinforcements also came. Pu Xiong came with [-] Di troops, a dozen Fangtou generals lined up, Pu Jing, Pu Luo, Pu Fa, Pu Huangmei, etc., as well as Lu Po Lou, Liang Leng, Mao Gui and other Kansai nobles.

The Fangtou group was not limited to Di people, but also received the support of Kansai nobles and scholars.

"Ran Min solicited gossip, killed endlessly, and harmed Hebei. My father made an appointment with the general, and he is here to assist today!"

When speaking, the expression is sincere, which makes people feel good.

However, although he spoke grandly, none of the Di troops he brought had banners, and their armors were painted in various ways.

Li Yue can naturally understand that the reason for his help is based on the cold lips and teeth, but it is impossible for Fangtou to wear a pair of pants with Hei Yunshan.

Each has its own interests.

Two or three months ago, Lei Ruo'er said that Fangtou was about to move to Guanzhong, but for some reason, he never left.

"The chariot general's righteousness is so generous to Yuntian, I am so grateful! Everyone who comes here this time will surely break Shi Min!" Looking at the people of the Pu family, each one of them is majestic and powerful, it is no wonder that Shi Hu is so afraid.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, they were asked to camp on the southwest bank of Surabaya.

When Pu's family came, there was also movement in Jingxiang. Huan Chong's [-] troops went out of Xinye to station troops at Lushan Pass.

This place is quite ingenious. To the north is Yangcheng, where Liu Guo, the governor of Luozhou, stationed troops, and to the east is Xuchang. It is equivalent to 2 people in Huanwen holding Liu Guo and Zhang Yuquan down, so that they dare not act rashly.

Zhang Yuzai Peiguo's troops retreated in a hurry, and Liu Guoru was on the verge of a formidable enemy.

Heiyun Mountain no longer has any worries, and Li Yue can concentrate on dealing with Ran Min.

The Heiyun Army from Xingyang and Chenliu and the Southern Army from all over the country gathered towards Lu County one after another.

However, Cui Jin went there for five or six days, but there was no news, which made Li Yue feel a little worried.

Anything can happen these days, the chaos is not only caused by the country, but also people's hearts, no one knows what Liu Qi is thinking in his heart.

Liu Qi's brother, Liu Qun, served as a secretary in Jiezhao. He was favored by Shi's family and had good personal friends with Li Nong and Ran Min.

As expected of Ran Min, after resting for two or three days, he immediately launched a fierce attack.

Thousands of Gaoli guards swam across Surabaya with their leather bags in their arms, and drifted downstream from Shimen Mountain in the northwest to Qiancao Beach in the southeast.

Immediately, there was a dense rain of arrows and stones on the river, and the young and strong men bent their bows, set up crossbows, operated catapults, and poured them into Surabaya.

The Surabaya defense line has already been formed and is well prepared.

Cui Jin was as meticulous as a hair, and built the defense line to be watertight.

And the young and strong were all brought down from Heiyun Mountain by Bo Wu. They cultivated during the farming season and trained in their free time.

Looking at the arrow stones all over the sky, Li Yue sighed with emotion. He used to drink the northwest wind poorly on the mountain, and he had to retrieve the arrows he shot. He saved to the extreme. He usually used bone arrows for hunting.

After capturing Chenliu, he received Shi Bin's mountain of ordnance, and the Heiyun army became richer.

There were bursts of blood in the river immediately, and the corpses floated down the river and floated downstream.

Four to five hundred people survived and floated to the shallow grass beach on the south bank, but what they faced was the massacre by Heiyun Xiaoqi.

Fast horses and long knives passed by like the wind, Gao Li's guards fell down like wheat.

The heads were also collected and thrown across with a catapult.
