In the early morning, a group of civilians climbed up the city wall near the small city gate and began to clear the traces left by the hard battle last night. () These simple people were already frightened by the sound of fighting all night under the city wall. They knew very well that their destiny was closely related to the outcome of the battle on the city wall. If the Jin army who stole the city succeeded, they would not be able to finish their eggs when the nest was destroyed, and their destiny could be imagined. So when they climbed to the city, their hearts were filled with tension and joy.

"Quickly, repair the broken female wall, move the corpses of the soldiers, and the corpses of these barbarians, cut off their heads and hang them on the top of the city, throw them into the city to avoid spreading the disease!" With the command of the guards, the civilians began to be busy. They looked at the strange-shaped corpses of barbarian soldiers in horror. The wounds caused by the clamps and spears made their faces even more ferocious and terrifying. Many civilians were so scared that their hands and feet were soft. As a result, it took a full half an hour to clean up the corpses of more than 800 barbarian soldiers on the city heads, and a bunch of heads tied together with braids were hung on the flagpole of the small city gate tower, as if the fruits of the harvest of trees.

"Your Highness, these are the heads of the barbarian chiefs who attacked the city last night!" Lu Hongkai walked to the steps panting and bowed to Lu Runxing in front of the hall. Several followers behind him placed more than a dozen heads in front of the steps. The head in front was covered with blood and glaring, which was the commander of the night attack.

"Please look at your highness!" Lu Hongkai pointed to the three golden rings on the right ear of the Nianhan's head and said, "It seems that they use the golden rings on their ears to distinguish the status. This person is the largest barbarian chief, and the rest are small leaders!"

"So that's it!" Lu Runxing walked down the steps, bent down and looked at the heads carefully. Sure enough, these heads were wearing more or less golden rings on their right ear, but two more, one less, and there were no more three. Lu Runxing stood up and said, "It seems that these barbarian soldiers are very simple. The team of nearly a thousand people is only at most three levels."

"Not bad!" Lu Runxing nodded and replied: "But the command of the barbarian thief is very convenient. It seems that they are all skilled elite soldiers!"

"If it weren't for the refined people, they wouldn't have sent to steal the city!" Lu Runxing smiled. Judging from the expression on his face, he was in a good mood at this time.

"Hongkai, can you catch a living?"

Hearing Lu Runxing's question, Lu Hongkai showed a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Report to Your Highness, report to Your Highness, these barbarian thieves are very brave, even if they are seriously injured, they will fight to the end. Finally, seeing that the situation is unfavorable, the barbarian chief led dozens of followers to cut off the rear and fled more than a hundred people. The rest saw that this guy was shot and died, and all jumped into the city and died, without a lifetime!"

"What? There is no alive prisoner?" Lu Runxing couldn't help but jumped. This result was a big surprise. The fighting will of these strange barbarian soldiers was too terrifying. If the Jin army outside the city could reach this level, it would be too terrifying. At this time, Jing Xiang also walked out. Looking at his tired face, it was obvious that he had not slept all night last night.

Jingxiang stepped forward to observe the head of the meeting and smiled and said, "Your Highness, these are probably not the Jin army, but the miscellaneous Hu recruited from the frontier. Their nobles are young, strong, old and weak, and their toughness are even better than Shatuo. It's just that their tribes are loose, and they just need to be tempted with bribes and it will not be difficult to defeat!"

"Jing Gong said so much!" Lu Hongkai said: "Although these barbarian soldiers were fierce last night, they had different orders. If there was a small victory, they would be able to get money. Otherwise, the Xiaoshimen would be in danger last night!"

"If this is the case, it's okay!" Lu Runxing then breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Mr. Jing, you have been fighting with the Jin army for many years. Can you tell me the length of it?"

Jingxiang thought for a moment and replied in a deep voice: "The Jin army is mostly a mixed-up with Hu in the north. The soldiers are used to work hard. When they encounter the enemy, they climb up to look far and away. First, they examine the terrain, observe the enemy's situation and be dedicated to taking advantage of chaos. Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, every cavalry team lightly breaks the enemy's formation. Once they rush, they will move, regardless of the number of people and the few, and they will drive straight in. Even if the enemy is 100,000, they will not be able to support them. If they do not move, the front team will cross over and the second team will rush again. If they cannot enter again, the back team will be like this. When they attack the enemy, they will be moved to the postponement.

At the moment, it is a plan to deploy troops left and right and rear. Once the troops are combined, the last one will be called Gu Jian, and respond together in all directions and collided at the same time. In addition to this plan, there are arms and cards, and the horses are dismounted and the two sides will be shot. In one step, the sides will be destroyed, and the sides will be destroyed, and the enemy will be in a hurry. If the enemy sees it, he will be stationed with a cavalry and a horse, and the enemy will be stationed to fight. If the enemy is hard on the wall, he will be unable to hit the ground. If the enemy is not defeated, he will drive cattle, livestock, whip and horses to stir up the ground. Few undefeated enemy formations will be undefeated.

.The enemy may be lined with halberds and resisted horses and stopped them from running, and then they would rush around and rush out a lane, and they would send a arrow to make the enemy work. After a long stalemate, they would have to go on hunger strikes or lack wages and could not move, so they would advance to force each other. Or the enemy's formation had moved, so they would not attack immediately, wait for them to get tired and trapped, and then rushed in; when their soldiers were scarce, they would first use soil and then drag dust to the sky and earth, and they would suspect that the troops would collapse. If they did not collapse, they would be destroyed, and they would be defeated. Or they would drive the prisoners and listen to their defeat.

Take advantage of the enemy's strength and attack with elite troops; some of them will cross the blade, and they will run north and abandon baggage, so they will throw yellow and white. The enemy may say that the city is defeated, and they will not stop chasing the north, and they will often lose all of them. Or they will make a clever plan to win because of their defeat, only care about the other side and horizontal. There are those that have not been said in ancient ways. If they win, the enemy will attack and kill, and they will not be able to escape. If they lose, they will scatter and cannot catch up. Therefore, our Daliang fights the Jin army, and there will be no small victory at the beginning, but they will eventually lose many defeats!"

When Lu Runxing heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said, "I have benefited a lot from listening to Gong Jing's words. The northern cavalry is indeed very difficult. It seems that he is still standing by the city walls and waiting for it to be exhausted. Fortunately, the city has sufficient food and fodder, thanks to Gong's plan in advance!"

Outside the city, a large group of Jin troops lined up on the river bank, and hundreds of temporarily collected rafts and boats on the water seemed to be waiting for something. Under the big flag, Li Siyuan looked at the city entrance from afar. He had good eyesight since he was a child and was very good at riding and shooting. Although he was already middle-aged, he could still see the birds and beasts hundreds of steps away. As the color was already slight, he could vaguely see the heads of Xuzhou City Tower in the distance and the flag fluttered, but he never saw the signal of success that was agreed upon in advance. Li Siyuan couldn't help but feel the anxiety of the master. The war horse under his crotch seemed to have also sensed the anxiety of his master, and he sniffed and dug the soil with his iron hooves.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Please see!" A Jin army general Zuo ran over panting. Several soldiers behind him were carrying a headless corpse. The corpse was obviously just caught from the water. It looked dressed, and it should be one of the barbarians who attacked the city last night.

"Floating from Xuzhou City, there are still many on the water, and they should have been thrown down from the top of the city!"

Li Siyuan looked at the corpse without saying a word, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Go back to the camp, and send 300 soldiers to collect the corpses, cremated according to the rules of the Nianhan tribe, and buried them well after returning, so as not to make people say that they would be left with us without end!"

"Here!"

Seeing the Jin army returning to the camp, the soldiers generally felt a little weak because they retreated without fighting. Li Siyuan on the horse was very thoughtful. The quick battle he had planned before seemed unrealistic. Jingxiang was very skilled in his actions. Not only did he dig a river to flood the land outside the city, but he also received support from the Wu army. If he delayed here, he was afraid that Zhang Chengye from Hedong and Zhou Dewei from Youzhou would take action. Li Siyuan weighed the interests for a while, but finally decided to stay, first divide his troops to plunder the surrounding counties and counties, recruit civilians to build the long fence, drain the accumulated water outside the city, and prepare for a long-term plan to conduct Xuzhou.

At the same time, he sent envoys to Weizhou and asked Shi Jingtang to move Ba Mansion to Bianjing, so that even if Zhou Dewei or Zhang Chengye went south, there would be danger of the Yellow River to rely on. As long as he settled the matter in Xuzhou, Li Siyuan was confident to return to the army of Hedong and Youzhou. After all, compared with the barren territory such as Hedong and Youzhou, Henan was much richer. After the Liang army was recruited, he had much more troops than Hedong and Youzhou. Moreover, there were Khitans outside the mountains of Youzhou. Early winter was the season when the Hu people went south to invade, and Zhou Dewei could provide a very limited force.

The sacred gate.

Zhu Jin sat on the horse's back and saw the mountain road in front of him twists and turns, and the mountain peaks on both sides stood. He turned around and asked Hong Jiande on the side, "Person Hong, where is this?"

Hong Jiande hurriedly replied, "Report to the chief executive, this is the Zhuyuan Pass. Gong County is 70 miles northeast. On both sides are Taishi and Shaoshi two mountains. There are twelve songs on its saka. It is about to go back again, so it is named after it." Because he is familiar with the road and is deeply aware of the internal information of the Liang army, Hong Jiande is quite favored by Zhu Jin's hands. He is also very self-effective and very attentive.

Zhu Jin nodded and sighed, "What a great Luyuan Pass, it's just a little ruined. Li Congke doesn't know the soldiers. If he leaves a thousand people here to guard it, how could I pass here so easily!"

Hong Jiande smiled and said, "The General Administration said very well. During the Huang Chao Rebellion, the place had undergone war and no repairs. After Zhu Youzhen moved the capital to Bianjing, this place was more valued by the Liang army. After all, the main enemy of Liang State came from the north!"

"That's true!" Zhu Jin nodded and smiled, "This makes it convenient for us!" At this point, he slammed the whip and shouted, "Come, send an envoy to the Zhou governor's office and let his pioneer Luokou Cang City and take advantage of its grain!"

"Here!"

Yiyang City is located forty miles northeast of Yiyang County, that is, Yiyang City, Mianchi and Ergu Capitals in South Korea during the Warring States Period, and is an extremely important node on the western Henan passage in southern Shaanxi. After Li Congke led the surrendered troops of Liang Kingdom to occupy Luoyang, he took one step to occupy Mengjin and controlled the Yellow River Ferry. At the same time, he opened up contact with the Hanoi side, and led most of the troops westward along the western Henan passage in southern Shaanxi, all the way westward. The Liang army guards on the way surrendered without fighting, but the Liang army guards of Yiyang City stayed behind closed doors, and Li Congke had to siege. However, due to insufficient equipment, the Yiyang City was very strong. After two days of fighting, it was killed by four or five hundred people. He had to stop for the time being and not mention the equipment.
