On the city wall, Li Hongyun's arrows were all fired.

Under the city wall, corpses of Liu Wuzhou's army were scattered everywhere.

Encouraged by Li Hongyun's archer-level performance, Liang Jun all fought bravely to take the lead and decisively repelled the attack of Liu Wuzhou's army.

So Liu Wuzhou was furious, and after a short rest, he continued to strictly order his soldiers to attack the city.

As a result, Jinyang was still impregnable and impossible to conquer.

Liu Wuzhou is autistic.

In his opinion, there is absolutely no problem with his strategy. First, cut off the various states and counties around Jinyang and make Jinyang an isolated city. By then, the King of Qi will naturally panic and the morale in the city will inevitably collapse.

At that time, as long as the siege lasts for a period of time, Jinyang will naturally be able to conquer it in one go.

Unexpectedly, the intelligence was wrong. This King of Qi was not an economical person, and his archery skills were really good. Moreover, he was not the playboy in the rumors. The people of Jinyang were filled with resentment and the soldiers had no desire to fight. Instead, he looked like

Like his second brother, he is also very popular with the people.

But having reached this point, Liu Wuzhou had no other choice.

"Unite the Turks, enter Jinyang, and go south to fight for the world" is Liu Wuzhou's strategy at this time. Now the counties around Jinyang have been cleared, and the Liang army who came to help has been defeated by him, and Prime Minister Pei Ji was even beaten.

I had to spare my life.

There's only one lonely city left in Jinyang, so we can't just let it go, right?

He cannot skip the battle, otherwise when he leads his troops south, Jinyang will be a nail in the rear, and he can go out of the city indefinitely to harass his logistics and food routes.

It is impossible to besiege without attacking. The army consumes a lot of food and grass every day. Moreover, if the army has been stationed here and waited for Liang Jun's reinforcements to arrive again, the situation will be very difficult.

So, Liu Wu gritted his teeth on Monday and ordered to continue the offensive!

But Jinyang is a fortified city after all. There are tens of thousands of soldiers left by Liang Gaozu here, as well as abundant grain reserves that can last for several years.

Li Hongyun was no longer the naughty boy of King Qi. He compensated the people as much as possible, used his treasury and his own personal treasures to reward the soldiers, and personally went to the city to fight, trying his best to repair the damaged people's hearts.

As a result, the Liang Dynasty's image here gradually improved.

As an invader, Liu Wuzhou could not gain any advantage in the hearts of the people.

The two sides faced off like this for three months.

At the beginning, Li Hongyun was a little nervous, and he went all out in every battle, but soon he found that Liu Wuzhou's troops were simply not enough to capture Jinyang.

His troops defending the city were actually larger than Liu Wuzhou's attacking troops.

However, Li Hongyun still suppressed the idea of ​​​​taking the initiative to go out of the city to fight Liu Wuzhou. After all, at this time, he also knew that his field combat ability was not strong yet, and he should play it safe.

Three months later, in November, the situation finally took a turn for the better.

King Qin is here!

Sure enough, just like the original historical development, after the Liang troops sent out were defeated one after another, Liang Gaozu could not sit still.

Originally, if the King of Qi lost Jinyang, Liang Gaozu had the idea of ​​​​giving up the entire land east of Hedong and retreated to Guanzhong. It was the King of Qin who strongly requested an expedition, which finally defeated Liu Wuzhou.

But this time, Jinyang was not lost yet, and the King of Qi was still defending, so Liang Gaozu naturally had no intention of giving up the land east of Hedong.

Instead, he even more eagerly sacrificed his great weapon, the King of Qin, to rescue the King of Qi.

From a historical perspective, although King Qi was abandoned by Queen Dou because of his ugly appearance, Liang Gaozu particularly loved this younger son and doted on him even more than the prince and King Qin.

Otherwise, King Qi most likely would not have become such an arrogant and domineering character.

Anyway, King Qin is here.

Liu Wuzhou was forced to divide his troops to fight the King of Qin. This time he would lose faster without the fortified city of Jinyang as a stronghold.

After the King of Qin had a stalemate with Liu Wuzhou in Baibi for a period of time, he soon discovered that Liu Wuzhou was weaker than expected. After all, the losses in the attack on Jinyang were huge.

Therefore, the King of Qin attacked decisively, first defeating Yuchi Jingde at Meiliangchuan, and then defeated Song Jingang at Queshu Valley. Liu Wuzhou could only lead 500 cavalry to flee north to the Turks.

Li Hongyun also took advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides in Queshu Valley to send troops, made a little sneak attack, and achieved some results.

The entire area around Jinyang was recovered.

The gates of Jinyang City were opened wide to welcome King Qin into the city.

"Fourth brother!"

At this time, King Qin was tired and looked haggard, but he was in high spirits.

In the battle with Song Jingang in Queshu Valley, King Qin held a sword and marched 200 miles day and night. He chased Song Jingang's troops and fought dozens of battles, all of which won a complete victory.

Then, he was still chasing after him.

His subordinates advised him that his life might be in danger if his soldiers were exhausted and pursued him any longer. The King of Qin said angrily, "How can I care about my own life if I serve my country with all my loyalty?"

So I continued chasing.

He did not eat for two days and did not disarm for three days. He fought eight battles in one day and was completely defeated. He captured and killed tens of thousands of enemy troops and captured and surrendered Yuchi Jingde.

The two brothers hugged each other warmly.

Strictly speaking, King Qi is the fourth brother of King Qin. There was also a third brother who died in infancy, which is the outrageous character in the romance novel who killed a million soldiers with a pair of golden hammers.

At this time, the relationship between the three brothers was still good.

After all, the Liang Dynasty was still in its infancy, and everyone was busy opening up new territories, so there were not so many conflicts of interest.

King Qin looked at the situation in Jinyang City and nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, he had heard about what his brother was doing. He wanted to persuade him, but Liang Gaozu was so conniving, so naturally he, the elder brother, was not very easy to talk to.

But after seeing a big battle, this young brother seemed to have a tendency to change his ways, and King Qin was naturally very happy.

After pacifying Liu Wuzhou, Liang Gaozu was overjoyed and gave both brothers heavy rewards.

As expected by Li Hongyun, he did not need to fight those tough battles like King Qin.

The real King of Qi is either the best sixth man or a bastard. In this way, he can still receive rewards along the way and his power continues to expand. What's more, at this time, he has played at the level of a normal leader.

Therefore, Li Hongyun communicated with the King of Qin, and reported to Liang Gaozu that he wanted to go with the army, and he soon got the permission.

Apparently after this battle, Liang Gaozu was also surprised to find that the young King Qi seemed to be a military wizard.

Liang Gaozu always spared no effort to support the clan, and he had no concept of "clear rewards and punishments" for his son.

There is basically no punishment for making mistakes, and unlimited rewards for meritorious deeds.

Obviously, Liang Gaozu also hoped that King Qi and King Qin would each lead an army and make military exploits respectively.

If the military success is not concentrated on one person, then he and the prince will be able to better balance the power of the court, so that the King of Qin will not be dominated by one person.

According to Liang Gaozu's plan, he must have been inclined to let King Qi gradually lead the army independently, but the tense situation did not give him this opportunity after all.

Because in just five months, Liang Jun will use all his troops to defeat Wang Shichong.

This battle lasted from July of the third year of Wude to June of the fourth year of Wude. After Wang Shichong could not stand it anymore and was forced to ask Dou Jiande for help, it became the Battle of Hulao Pass that Li Hongyun knew well.

…

Soon after, Li Hongyun came to Hulao Pass again.

But when he came to Hulao Pass this time, he had a lot of emotions.

Last time he played Dou Jiande, where he defeated the King of Qin, repulsed the Liang army, and successfully entered Hulao Pass.

Of course, it relied on the unpredictable strategy of setting up a car formation in his own camp.

And now, he plays the role of King Qi and will fight side by side with King Qin.

In the process of conquering Wang Shichong, the King of Qi played by Li Hongyun has made many military exploits and has a strong sense of presence.

Adhering to the concept of "I am where the King of Qin is", Li Hongyun followed the King of Qin to survey the enemy's situation, and also experienced many fierce battles.

The King of Qin led his light cavalry to conduct a reconnaissance, and was surrounded by Wang Shichong's cavalry. The King of Qin asked his men to return to camp first, and stayed behind alone.

When Shan Xiongxin led hundreds of cavalry to pursue him, the King of Qin fired his bows from left and right, and all the enemies fell down.

Li Hongyun, on the other hand, followed the King of Qin and drew his bow and arrows, and the number of those who fell in response to the bow doubled again.

When Dou Jiande came to rescue Wang Shichong, Li Hongyun and the King of Qin made a decision together, and against all opinions, decided to go to Hulao Pass to defend Dou Jiande.

But this time, the King of Qin did not leave him to besiege Luoyang, but took him with him.

The main reason why King Qi was left to besiege Luoyang before was because King Qi was of no use, and it would probably be a hindrance if he had him with him.

Wang Shichong had been beaten to a frightened state and did not dare to leave the city at all, and Liang Jun actually could not capture Luoyang. Therefore, King Qi was sitting there, and his nature was similar to that of a mascot.

But this time, King Qin had realized that King Qi was his right-hand man and right-hand man, so he took him with him.

The Battle of Hulao Pass is staged again.

The King of Qin once again brought his elite cavalry to conduct personal reconnaissance, and as usual placed the few cavalrymen at various places along the way.

When they arrived in front of Dou Jiande's camp, only King Qin, King Qi, Yuchi Jingde and a few others were left.

When Dou Jiande's soldiers saw these scattered Liang Jun troops, they thought they were rangers who came to conduct reconnaissance, so they didn't pay much attention.

But the King of Qin shouted directly: "I am the King of Qin!"

Launched taunting skills on all soldiers in the enemy camp.
