With Wang Shijun's order, Ganchao's army began to attack Liaoyang City.

Liaoyang City is a strategic location. Even if it was previously breached by Ye He's troops and the city was damaged, it would not be so easy to take over.

Especially in Liaoyang City, Ye He's troops were prepared for their own efforts and waited for their hard work. It would be even more difficult to fight the army.

In the siege, there is no possibility of taking any tricks. Both sides fought with real swords and guns, and in a short period of time, a large number of casualties occurred.

After the sun set, the main attacker Gan Chao army slowly retreated, but the head coach Wang Shijun was very upset.

Because of the battle on this day, the Ganchao army's offensive strength was very strong, but they could not make any progress, and both sides were fighting for consumption.

According to the information found, there are 30,000 defenders in Liaoyang City. If you continue to fight like this, you still don’t know when you can break through the city.

Moreover, Wang Shijun did not forget that the whereabouts of the main cavalry of Ye He's army are now unknown, which makes him feel even more stunning.

The strong enemy is on the side, and even if Wang Shijun is of average talent, he knows to keep a backup plan, so the situation can be imagined.

The main cavalry led by Ye Hezhen was camping here about one hundred miles northwest of Liaoyang City.

Late at night, Ye Hexiong reported the military situation to Ye Hezhen: "The Khan, the Southern Barbarians who were in charge of the court, started to attack the city this morning, and they did not withdraw their troops until the sun sets!"

"How is the battle?"

"Our horse prodding dared not get close, but the battle sounded for a day, and the battle should be very fierce!"

"It seems that the Nan barbarian who is Ganchao wants to take Liaoyang in one go!"

Ye Hezhen said sarcastically, then looked at the map in front of him, not knowing what was going on.

"Khan, we only have 30,000 troops in Liaoyang City. If we continue to attack the barbarians, we will not be able to resist it for long. Should we move here?"

Ever since the army of the Dagan Dynasty arrived at the city of Liaoyang, the main force of Yehe's troops came here.

But what Ye Hexiong didn't understand was that Ye Hezhen remained silent for two days, which made him very anxious.

"No hurry, there are 30,000 people in Liaoyang City. If you fight for three thousand a day, you can fight for ten days!"

"this!"

Ye Hexiong couldn't speak immediately, and he didn't know what Ye He really had plans.

The next morning, Wang Shijun launched another attack under the city of Liaoyang. This battle was even more tragic than yesterday. Even if the sun set, he did not withdraw his troops.

Until nightfall and could not continue fighting, Wang Shijun then withdrew his troops.

In this way, the fierce siege lasted for five days. The army of the Dagan Dynasty had suffered more than 10,000 casualties, but it still failed to capture Liaoyang City.

Ye Hezhen, a hundred miles away, felt that the time was almost right. Because of the five-day siege, the Liaoyang defenders had already suffered many casualties, and it was almost time to break the city.

At this time, if you give up the siege, everyone will hesitate, so they personally led the army and, relying on the speed advantage of the cavalry, suddenly appeared behind the Ganchao army and attacked the nine camps.

When a camp was attacked, Li Zongting felt that the situation was not good and immediately reported to Wang Shijun: "Supervisor, Ye Hezhen attacked the camp because he wanted to cut off our food route!"

Wang Shijun frowned and said slowly: "There is a lot of food stored in the army, and it is delivered every three days. Even if Ye Hezhen attacks a camp, it will not affect the overall situation!"

"What if Ye Hezhen attacked all camps?"

"this!"

Wang Shijun's face also changed a little, because these camps are the key to transporting grain and can be used step by step.

Therefore, the army in the Cong Dynasty can use a small number of people to escort food.

Once these camps are gone, the transportation distance of 400 miles will become a deadly place.

When the food road is cut off, the troops under Liaoyang City will be in danger.

"Supervisor, withdraw the troops!"

When Li Zongting made this suggestion, he already felt the danger.

"no!"

Wang Shijun refused without hesitation because the five-day siege had caused more than half of the defenders in the city to suffer casualties, and it was obvious that they could take down the city in a few days.

The credit for regaining lost land is right in front of you, how could Wang Shijun be willing to withdraw his troops?

"Supervisor, if he doesn't retreat now, he may not be able to retreat!"

Li Zongting was really anxious because the actions of Ye He's troops were already very obvious, which was to use Liaoyang as bait to drag the Ganchao army and then cut off its food route.

In this way, even if there are more than 200,000 troops, they will collapse without fighting.

"As long as you take down Liaoyang City as soon as possible and attack Chenyang, Ye He will really have a wishful plan and will not make a comeback!"

In Wang Shijun's view, after taking Liaoyang and attacking Chenyang, the situation will reverse.

After all, Ye He really won’t let the country go without caring about it. Otherwise, if the newly established Dayuan was captured, wouldn’t it become a laughing stock in the world?

"Liaoyang is just a bait. Not to mention whether it can be broken in a short period of time, even if we attack Chenyang and Ye He really doesn't return to help, we will be done!"

Li Zongting did not think that Ye He would take the newly built capital to heart. Compared with the elimination of more than 200,000 Ganchao troops, even the capital was nothing, let alone just a newly built one.

What's more, taking Liaoyang and rushing straight to Chenyang was just Wang Shijun's wishful thinking. Li Zongting, who was on the front line, knew clearly that the Ganchao army could not take Liaoyang within one or two days, let alone Chenyang.

"The bastard, our department has its own opinions. If General Li dares to disturb the morale of the army again, don't blame me for being rude!"

The stubbornness of the literati was invaded. Wang Shijun saw that Liaoyang was about to fall and was in sight, so how could he withdraw his troops?

"Supervisor!"

Li Zongting still wanted to persuade him, but Wang Shijun didn't want to hear it anymore and said viciously: "Go out!"

As soon as the voice fell, the soldiers guarding the tent immediately walked in and looked at Li Zongting with a bad expression.

"Why!"

There was no choice but to sigh and leave helplessly.

In the next three days, all nine camps of the Dagan Dynasty were removed by Yehe's tribe and the food route was completely cut off.

Although the situation in Liaoyang City is not good, it has not yet fallen.

At this time, Ye Hezhen had already led the main force back. Once the Ganchao army could not take down Liaoyang before they returned, it would be really dangerous.

Wang Shijun was also a little angry. He didn't expect that Liaoyang City could last for so long.

Now that the army has not stored much food, the way out is broken, all fools know what the consequences will be.

Wang Shijun now no longer has the luxury of winning Liaoyang and heading straight to Chenyang, because it is too late.

"General Li, what should we do now?"

Wang Shijun, who was panicked, had no choice but to consult Li Zongting for a countermeasure.

However, this time, Li Zongting did not say a word, and the expression on his face seemed to be disheartened.

As a veteran on the battlefield, Li Zongting understood the current situation and knew that these more than 200,000 troops were about to be destroyed, and even if they took over Liaoyang, it would be useless.

Because the army in front of us is the elite soldiers of the Dagan Dynasty. Even if we make every effort to take down Liaoyang City, we can last without food and clothing.

As for returning to Jinzhou, it is almost impossible. After all, there is no camp to rely on for 400 miles, and as long as the cavalry continues to harass it, it will be fatal.

"General Li, please be careful!"

Seeing that Li Zongting said nothing, Wang Shijun begged in a low voice, no longer as strong as before.

"Everyone follows the commander's instructions!"

Now that things have come to an end, Li Zongting only thought about how to protect himself and prevent the responsibility of defeat from falling on him, so how could he have a random idea?

As for these more than 200,000 troops, I can only ask for more blessings.

"You. Hum!"

Li Zongting's attitude annoyed Wang Shijun, and he stopped begging. After thinking for a while, he decided to take a gamble and attack Liaoyang.

After taking down the city, he would defend himself according to the city and ask for help from the court.

Regarding the situation on the front line, He Yuansheng learned something through the Jinyiwei, but the distance was too far and the message was transmitted slowly.

So when the news of the food supply was cut off, Ye Hezhen had already led the main force back to the rescue.

Looking at the news in front of him, He Yuansheng knew that the army on the front was in danger.

He entered the palace urgently and reported the news to the emperor, but did not express his own analysis.

But the emperor had read the information, but was a little suspicious because he was still presenting Wang Shijun's memorial.

The content of the memorial is naturally good, and Wang Shijun is about to lead his troops to conquer Liaoyang.

This is also a common problem for civil officials. It has always been exaggerated to report good news but not bad news.

“Is this news true?”

"I can't guarantee what the war is going on, but the news should be true!"

The emperor frowned. He was not on the front line and naturally did not understand the situation.

At this moment, Li Zongting's memorial came. Compared with He Yuansheng's, the emperor immediately realized that the situation was a bit dangerous.

"He Qing, you have been on the battlefield and think what is the current situation!"

"this!"
