In the ten days since he decided to go south and capture Xiangyang, Li Tang's army advanced to 20 miles outside Xiangyang City. At this time, winter will end and spring will come. The heavy snow melts early and the winter sun is warm. The remaining troops of the Liang, Chu, Wu, Song, and Fu tribes of the Chinese army were less than 20,000. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of Li Tang elites, it is impossible to be an enemy. But they refused to fight head-on and shot at the obstacles on both sides of the official road to hinder Li Tang's army from advancing at night. Xu Ziling led Ba Fenghan, Yin Xianhe and other masters to counterattack and regain the front line. Almost every obstacle Li and Tang soldiers needed a lot of time and setbacks to overcome. Li Tang's soldiers were unable to push out the iron chariot that blocked arrows and had no auxiliary attack equipment. Although the casualties were not too heavy with only giant shields and wooden platoons to resist, the progress of the advance under the sky full of sharp arrows made Yuchi Jingde frown deeply. It is obvious that the Chinese army is not prepared for a decisive battle with Li Tang's army. And it is impossible for the Chinese armies of Liang, Chu, Wu, Song, Fu and other allied forces to win. Xiangyang Huaxia will never be able to defend it. Yuchi Jingde has never worried that Xiangyang cannot be attacked, but he knows that the Huaxia Army has the strongest naval force in the world as long as the Chinese Allied Forces delay. Hundreds of thousands of people evacuated to a safe place south of the river and defended across the river. The Xuanjia Huben and the Li and Tang armies, who were not good at water warfare, could no longer regain their authority. With the coordination ability of hundreds of Chinese officials, hundreds of thousands of people can safely cross the river in ten days. What is surprising is that the news that "the common people have never crossed the river" was still sent to Xiangyang Neiying, who is twenty miles away from Xiangyang, and not only one person. Dozens of nearly a million people did not evacuate, although there were only 20,000 remaining soldiers. But Li Tang's officers and men saw the power of hundreds of thousands of people. Twenty miles away from Xiangyang. Countless mountains of earth have uprooted stone walls, pits, trenches, sharp logs, caves, and traps everywhere. Obstacles on the battlefield obscure people's view. There are only a few crossbowmen on each earth mountain. Or a few bed crossbows. It was enough to make Li Tang's army floundering. Xu Ziling has never let the Chinese allied forces engage in a frontal charge duel, but now every soldier in Li Tang has learned his skill called trap mechanics. And he paid a lot of money for this theory. In the face of countless obstacles. The attacking Li and Tang soldiers had the opposite advantage of not being able to concentrate their rear force. The Chinese army has a small number of people, but it is very active. Often a few people guard a mountain and kill the enemy several times as many as themselves. What makes General Li Tang even more troublesome is that the supply line on Nanyang's side is stretched far because it is too close to Xiangyang, and the supply of the Chinese army is becoming more and more convenient. ¡°The effect of hundreds of thousands of civilians using hoes is comparable to that of a hundred thousand soldiers.¡± Li Yuan¡¯s cousin Li Tang¡¯s famous general Li Xiaogong sighed deeply as he looked at this hilly obstacle. "Xu Ziling had done this a month ago, but I didn't notice it at the time." Kada Zhi also shook his head and sighed. "As long as there are three more days, we will be able to attack Xiangyang." Luo Shixin gritted his teeth and said: "Two generals, please hold on a little longer and victory is at hand! Hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang do not retreat as long as we capture Xiangyang again. Then Xu Ziling will The foundation has been lost and there is no way to rise again. ""What does General Yuchi think?" Song Jingang pondered and asked again. "The general is determined to capture Xiangyang." Liu Dewei added: "General Wang Junkuo also believes that Xiangyang will not be destroyed unless Xiangyang is conquered by China." "Xu Ziling has not evacuated hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang. This is a temptation." Li Xiaogong said solemnly: "Given the current situation, It seems that he wants us to attack Xiangyang and fight with our 100,000 troops. Luoyang is safe and sound with the emperor in charge. I am worried that if Ruyang falls, we will be cut off from Luoyang. If Nanyang changes hands, our escape route will be cut off. "With Jie Hui, Jie Wenlong and his son guarding Nanyang, and Feng Zhen supporting them, they will not let anyone attack Nanyang." If he loses Nanyang, he will never recover. Xie Hui himself knows best! ""May God bless me, Li Tang" Li Xiaogong raised his head to the sky and cried sadly. After a few days of clear weather, the Chinese allied forces retreated one after another from Li and Tang's army and marched towards the city step by step. Only five miles remain. Standing on the earth mountain, you can expect that the city of Xiangyang is full of people. Even if Li and Tang's army is in Li Jing, the Chinese people still firmly believe that Xu Ziling can turn the tide of the war and turn the danger into safety. The Chinese army held high positions during the day and counterattacked in the early morning at night. The two sides fought tooth and nail. A fight to the death began under Xiangyang City. Pegasus Ranch was surrounded by Li Tang's army and could not escape. According to the dangerous environment and favorable geographical conditions, Commander-in-Chief Yuchi Jingde of Li Tang Dynasty planned to set up Pegasus Ranch many times, but everyone refused and finally had to give up and capture Pegasus Ranch. Divide thousands of troops to defend the outside. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of China, there are not enough soldiers, but they have the most advantageous location and people. Every injured soldier can be transported back to the city for recuperation in time, while the injured soldiers can be flown for support. There are countless tunnels in the mountains outside the city, and the Chinese army takes advantage of them. Using the power of the whole territory to fight with Li and Tang's army, Xiangyang, Jiujiang, Lingling, Yangzhou and other cities were left behind, and all of them came to help. The Chinese navy came out of Sichuan?Bringing nearly 10,000 soldiers composed of ethnic minorities. Li Tang's army also advanced step by step while receiving supplies from Nanyang. "As long as everything remains unmoved, the final victory will definitely belong to Li Tang's 100,000 lions." It rained coldly for several days. The previous battle in Xiangyang was bloody and bloody. In the mud and cold rain, the soldiers on both sides felt miserable. Their combat strength and morale were set back again and again. On the 9th, Li Tang broke through all traps and attacked Xiangyang. On the same day, the generals of Li and Tang received a series of bad news. Du Fuwei, who had never shown his face, led the army to attack the Jiangge plank road in Shu. Only then did he wake up and ask for help. Hanzhong is in danger and Chang'an is under threat. The Ruyang defenders killed all the three Dark Demons without a single survivor. Nanyang, which was held by Jie Hui and his son, was also attacked by the Three Dark Demons day and night. Jie Wenlong was seriously injured and fainted. Fenglingdukou Military Camp was led by Shang Xiuxun, the owner of Pegasus Ranch, and thousands of barbarians captured Tongguan. General Tang Jian was forced to remove the iron-locked pontoon bridge, which cut off the 6-way connection between Chang'an and Luoyang. Only waterways remain. Taiyuan City was besieged by Dou Jiande's Daxia Army and Gao Kaidao's Yan Army. Guard Liu Hongji was in a hurry. The worst news is that Xu Shiji of the Chinese Expeditionary Army led Cheshi, Heilang, Beiyan, Tiele, Goryeo and other allied forces to defeat Tiele Wolf Lord Shi Jian in ten battles. He destroyed tens of thousands of brave and brave Tiele nobles and captured nearly 10,000 cattle, sheep and dozens of horses. Wantele perished. The attitude of Ye Hu, the leader of the Western Turks, is ambiguous. The four tigers of the Chinese Army will lead their troops back to attack Chang'an at any time. Master Yijian Master Cailin collected 15,000 troops from Baekje, Silla. Riding Ban to the East China Sea, Queen Fu Junqiang of Goguryeo led troops to Luoyang. General Li Tang, who had captured Xiangyang City, was unable to rescue Hanzhong, Taiyuan, Fenglingdukou and other places. But Nanyang was a place of logistical support for the survival of the 100,000 Li and Tang troops and could not be compromised. No matter how stubborn Yuchi Jingde was, he had to divide his troops to rescue Jie Hui. Li Xiaogong and Kak Zhi, two old and new generals, were ordered to lead the Lin Army, the Yulin Army, and the Li Guards to the north to rescue Xie Hui. Tens of thousands of troops remain. They were forced to attack Xiangyang day and night. As long as Xiangyang falls, nothing will happen to the world. Xu Ziling had less than 20,000 soldiers but hundreds of thousands of civilians attacked Xiangyang and refused to give up any ground. No matter the time, location, people's hearts, morale, or general trend. They are all in China but only in some places. The troops are slightly inferior. Not only Xu Ziling, but also the people in Xiangyang could not help but rejoice when they heard that there was a lot of good news posted on the red list. Every day, Queen Wei Zhenzhen of the street led her daughters out to appease the people. He also led a medical team to save lives and heal the wounded. Every day, there is an endless stream of boats on the waterways Zhuhua Gang and Dajiang Lian. The Chinese Navy escorted and escorted the soldiers or food and grass to arrive. All the wealth and materials from central Sichuan were shipped to Xiangyang. Li Tang's army on the riverside had no choice but to watch the people of Xiangyang. Cheering again and again and again carrying supplies into the city. In January, the Chinese army fought more and more bravely. Generals Li and Tang gritted their teeth but were helpless. With the support of tens of millions of people, the Chinese army's combat power increased tenfold. They had no worries at all every day. They refused to stand on the city wall and took turns to attack at night. Although Li and Tang's tens of thousands of soldiers were all elite and invincible on the battlefield, none of them could resist the enemy. There were no giant ladders, no siege vehicles, no catapults, and no iron-plated vehicles that could block arrows. Under the thousands of arrows in Xiangyang City, they only relied on leather shields and wooden ladders to storm Xiangyang and climbed to the top of the city a hundred times, but the Chinese army was forced to fall. Of course, the casualties on both sides were quite different, as the Chinese army fought more and more, while the Li and Tang armies fought less and less. There was no supply of troops or even grain, grass, medicine and other materials to transport. Each grain was soaked in the blood of the soldiers. The three Dark Demons, who were killing people, had a food convoy of less than 10,000 people. They robbed and burned the food transport team of less than 1,000 people and killed them all. Come a month. The Li Tang army fighting under Xiangyang never had a full meal against the Li Tang army defending Nanyang. I have never had a sip of hot water with peace of mind. Despite this, Xuanjia Huben and Li Tang's army showed the most tenacious fighting spirit and never retreated, vowing to occupy Xiangyang. Until the day Hanzhong fell. Huaxia Army Town Dongfuwei Wang Du Fuwei, the former Jianghuai Army Chief Manager, was assisted by military advisor Qin Xin. After capturing Hanzhong, burning everything and turning Hanzhong into ruins, he divided his troops into several groups to pursue the remaining enemies and advance northward into Chang'an. Hebei Dou Jiande divided his troops into three groups: Meng Jiigong and Xu Yuanlang. Bypass Taiyuan City. The troops marched south to Chang'an. One south and one north form a pincer attack. Chang'an is in emergency.
