Ten days since his determination to go south to capture Xiangyang, the Li Tang army advanced and twenty miles outside Xiangyang City. At this time, the cold winter will be over and spring will come. The heavy snow melts early in the winter sun.

The remaining troops of the Chinese army, Liang, Chu, Wu, Song and Fu, were less than 20,000. Compared with the 100,000 elite Li Tang soldiers, they were hard to be enemies.

But they did not fight head-on by the obstacles on both sides of the official road to shoot and block the Li Tang army's advance at night. Xu Ziling led Ba Fenghan, Yin Xianhe and his team of masters attacked and recaptured the front line. Almost every obstacle, the Li Tang soldiers took a lot of time and trouble to occupy it. The Li Tang soldiers could not push out the iron-plate chariot that blocked the arrows without auxiliary attack equipment. They only used giant shields to resist the wooden rafts. Although the casualties were not too serious, the progress under the sharp targets had always made Yuchi Jingde frown.

It is obvious that the Chinese army is not prepared to fight the Li Tang army.

Moreover, the Chinese army's coalition forces such as Liang, Chu, Wu, Song, and Fu could not win. Xiangyang Huaxia could never defend Yuchi Jingde was never worried that Xiangyang could not capture it. But he knew that the Chinese army had the strongest navy in the world, as long as the Chinese coalition forces delayed the day. Hundreds of thousands of people evacuated from the safe place south of the river and guarded the Xuanjia Hu Ben and Li Tang army, who were not good at water battles, would not have the power of 6 lands.

With the ability of Chinese officials to coordinate and coordinate, hundreds of thousands of people can cross the river steadily in ten days.

Surprisingly, it is reported that the news that the people have never crossed the river in Xiangyang, twenty miles away, was still heard, and it was not alone.

Nearly one million people did not evacuate, although there were only 20,000 remaining soldiers. However, the soldiers from Li Tang saw the power of hundreds of thousands of people. Twenty miles away from Xiangyang, countless earthen mountains raised stone walls, pits, earth trenches, pointed woods, caves, and traps everywhere. There were obstacles on the battlefield to cover people's sight. There were only a few crossbowmen or a few crossbows on each earthen mountain. This was enough to make the Li Tang army difficult to survive.

Xu Ziling never let the Chinese coalition fight a head-on charge, but now every soldier of Li Tang has learned one of his subjects called trap mechanisms. He also paid a considerable tuition for this theory.

In the face of countless obstacles, the Li Tang soldiers who came to attack could not concentrate on exerting their strength. On the contrary, a small number of Chinese army members were active, but several people often guarded a mountain and shot several times their enemies. What made the Li Tang generals even more trouble was that the supply line of the side near Xiangyang was long and the supply line of the Chinese army was becoming more and more convenient.

"The effect of hundreds of thousands of civilians using hoes is comparable to that of 100,000 soldiers." Li Yuan's cousin, Li Xiaogong, a famous general of Li Tang, sighed deeply as he looked at the undulating obstacles of the hills.

"Xu Ziling had made this move a month ago, but I didn't notice it at that time." Ke Dazhi also shook his head and sighed.

"As long as there are three more days, we will be able to come to Xiangyang." Luo Shixin gritted his teeth and said, "Please hold on for a while, the victory is right in front of you! If hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang do not withdraw, we will conquer Xiangyang again. Then Xu Ziling will lose all his foundation and will not be able to rise again."

"What do you think of General Yuchi?" Song Jingang pondered and asked again.

"The general is determined to capture Xiangyang." Liu Dewei added: "General Wang Junkuo also believes that Xiangyang is not inferior to China."

"Xu Ziling has never withdrawn the hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang. This is a temptation." Li Xiaogong said in a deep voice: "Based on the current situation, he wants us to attack Xiangyang and get entangled with our 100,000 troops to the end. There is an emperor in Luoyang in charge and is safe and sound. I am worried about Ruyang and Nanyang. Once Ruyang falls, we will be interrupted with Luoyang, just like Nanyang changes hands, and we will be cut off. I am afraid it is not a blessing."

"There are Jie Hui, Jie Wenlong and his son guarding Nanyang, and Feng Zhen assisted them. The Bashu disciples are just for a good meal. They will not be able to capture Nanyang." Shi Wanbao snorted: "The elders and young men of his clan fall into the hands of the Chinese army. If he loses Nanyang, he will never turn around. Which battle is more important? Jie Hui himself knows the most!"

"I wish God bless me Li Tang..." Li Xiaogong looked up at the sky and said sadly.

A few days were clear, and the Chinese Allied Forces retreated one after another to resist the Li Tang army and marched step by step away from the city. Only five miles remained. Standing on the Tushan Mountain, you can see that the city of Xiangyang is full of people. Even if the Li Tang army is in great shape, the Chinese people still firmly believe that Xu Ziling can reverse the situation and turn danger into a barrage.

The Chinese army seized high in the daytime and attacked counterattacks in the early morning at night.

The two sides gritted their teeth and saw the battle. A death-consuming battle was launched under the city of Xiangyang. The Pegasus Ranch was divided by the Li Tang army and surrounded and could not be defended. Under the natural danger and the place was in a good position, the Li Tang commander Yuchi Jingde planned to set up a Pegasus Ranch many times and refused. In the end, they had to give up attacking the Pegasus Ranch. They divided thousands of troops to defend outside.

Chinese soldiers were insufficient but they had all the advantages of the territory and people.

Every injured soldier can be transported back to the city in time to recuperate and condition, while the injured soldier can fly to support him.

There were countless tunnels outside the city, and the Chinese army used this to deal with the Li Tang army with the power of the entire territory. After the city of Xiangyang, Jiujiang, Lingling, Yangzhou and other cities, they all came to support the support. The Chinese navy came out of the river and brought nearly 10,000 soldiers composed of ethnic minorities. The Li Tang army also rushed forward step by step while receiving supplies from Nanyang.

As long as there is no change, the final victory will definitely belong to Li Tang's 100,000 lions.

A few days after the sky was cold rain.

Before Xiangyang, the battle became bloody mud and died in the mud and the soldiers on both sides felt miserable. The combat power and morale were set again and again.

On the 9th day, Li Tang broke through all the traps in the mechanism and attacked Xiangyang.

On the same day, the generals of Li Tang received a series of bad news. The plank road of Jiange in Shu realm was led by Du Fuwei, who had never shown up, to break through the defenders and wipe out the Hanzhong defenders, and were confused until the troops were at the city. They were shocked to seek help.

Hanzhong is in a hurry to Chang'an is threatened.

Ruyang defenders allowed all the three divisions of the Demon to slaughter all the surviving Nanyang. Nanyang, which was defended by Jie Hui and his son, also attacked by Jie Wenlong day and night, and was seriously injured and fainted. Feng lifted his arm, broken limbs and damaged Nanyang, and the food and grass were burned to pieces. In the midst of Nanyang, the land was burned.

The Fengling Ferry Barracks were led by Shang Xiuxun, the lord of Pegasus Ranch, and thousands of barbarians captured Tongguan. Tang Jian, the guards of the Iron Lock Bridge, were forced to remove the six connections between Chang'an and Luoyang. Only waterways remain. Taiyuan City was surrounded by Dou Jiande's Daxia Army and Gao Kaidao Yan Army. The guard Liu Hongji was in a hurry. The worst news was that the Chinese Expeditionary Force Xu Shiji, Heilang, Beiyan, Tiele, and Goryeo defeated Tiele Wolf Lord Shi Jian eliminated tens of thousands of brave prisoners, nearly 10,000 cattle, sheep, and horses, and hundreds of thousands of Tiele were destroyed.

The Western Turkic regimen of Ye Hu was ambiguous and unclear. The four tigers of the Chinese army led their troops back to attack Chang'an at any time.

Master Yijian Cailin collected 15,000 troops from Silla Baekje. He took the lead in Donghai6 and led the troops to Luoyang.

General Li Tang, who attacked the city of Xiangyang, had nowhere to be rescued by Hanzhong, Taiyuan, Fengling Ferry and other places.

However, Nanyang is a place where the logistics support for the life and death of the 100,000 Li Tang army cannot be lost, and even if Yuchi Jingde has a stubborn temper, he has to divide his troops back to rescue Jie Hui. The two words of Li Xiaogong and Ke Dazhi are ordered to lead the Changlin Army, the Imperial Army, and the Li clan guards to go north to rescue Jie Hui. The remaining tens of thousands of troops were attacked day and night to capture Xiangyang.

As long as Xiangyang falls, there will be nothing wrong in the world.

Xu Ziling's troops were less than 20,000, but hundreds of thousands of civilians attacked Xiangyang and refused to give in.

Regardless of the time, place, or people's hearts, morale, and general trend, they are all in China and are only in some places. Their military strength is slightly inferior. Not only Xu Ziling, but also the people in Xiangyang couldn't help but be happy when they heard the red list and made a lot of good news.

Every day, the street queen guard Zhenzhen led all the girls out to appease the people, and led the medical team to save lives and help the wounded.

Every day, the Bamboo Flower Gang and Dajiang Lian ships are endless. The Chinese naval army escorted the soldiers or food and grass to transport them. The wealth and materials in Sichuan are gathered to Xiangyang.

The Li Tang army by the river had to watch the people of Xiangyang cheering again and again and again to carry supplies into the city.

In January, the Chinese army fought more and more, and the more brave the war became, the more brave the generals of Li Tang slashed their steel teeth, but could not help but with the support of dozens of people, the Chinese army expanded tenfold, and they did not have any worries at all. They refused to defend on the city wall every day to attack at night. Although Li Tang's tens of thousands of soldiers were all invincible on the battlefield, they could not resist the sky.

There was no giant ladder, no siege car, no stone casting car, no arrows, and iron-plate car, under tens of thousands of arrows in Xiangyang City, and only rely on leather shield and wooden ladder to attack Xiangyang and climb to the top of the city a hundred times, but they all forced the Chinese army to get off the ground.

Of course, the difference between the two sides is that the Chinese army fights more and more, while the Li Tang army fights less and less.

There was no supply of soldiers, or even food, grass, medicine and other supplies, and transported them one by one. The blood of soldiers was soaked in the soldiers. The three Dao Demons had a grain protection group of less than ten thousand people. They robbed and burned the grain transport teams below a thousand people and killed them for a month. The Li Tang army, who fought under Xiangyang, had never had a full meal before, and had never had a sip of hot water.

Despite this, Xuanjia Hu Ben and Li Tangxiong still showed the most perseverance in fighting spirit and would never retreat and swear to occupy Xiangyang.

Until the day when Hanzhong fell.

Du Fuwei, the former chief general of the Jianghuai Army of the Chinese Army, with the assistance of the military advisor Qin Xin, captured Hanzhong and turned Hanzhong into ruins. After splitting his troops to chase the remaining enemies and advanced northward into Chang'an.

Dou Jiande from Hebei divided the troops of Meng Haigong Xu Yuanlang, and bypassed Taiyuan City. He went south to point to Chang'an.

One south and one north form a clamping force.
