Xiushi County, Lishi County.

Blood smeared the city walls, and corpses were spread across the city gate.

Countless large flags were flying outside the city, and the Xi cavalry carried sabers and surrounded Xiushi County.

The generals of the commander-in-chief, Yinghefu, and Zhuma and the city watched the fierce siege.

As the border county Xiushi County, he attached great importance to military equipment. In the first round of unexpected night attacks, the city soldiers, under the command of the county magistrate, repelled them, causing the other party to leave more than a dozen bodies.

This prevented Xiushi County from being defeated in one attack like other cities.

However, at dawn the next day, the defenders on the city felt terrified when they saw the Xi cavalry crowded under the city.

Although the opponent is a cavalry and is not good at siegeing the city, the city wall is only more than ten feet high and low, and if it can block the raid of the cavalry of the French army. Even if the city wall is so high and thick, can one thousand defenders still resist the 20,000 Xi cavalry gathered from all sides?

Now the city gate is about to be broken, and the Xi tribe climbed up from the four walls with ropes and continued to attack the city.

Looking at the war in front of him, the head of the general, yawned for a long time.

On the side, Ying Hefu was wearing two bright armors, looked at his forehead and asked, "Why is this war boring?"

Etuo shook his head and said, "I didn't close my eyes for two days and one night, and I wasn't so tired when I was accusing the eagle."

Yinghefu laughed, waved the whip, and said, "Even if you capture this city, you can't rest. Yan Yelei did a good job. He led Shi Wei and Bai Feng's cavalry to break five cities in a row. We can't fall behind him."

"Yan Yelie, when we were under the Khan's tent, this kid didn't know where he was, and he dared to compete for merit with us. Don't worry, the city gate has been broken and they can't support it for long."

Ying Hefu said, "You think I am worried about this broken county town. Humph, just this little man, I want Lishi County, which is the county seat, so they must not be able to compete for merit."

Etuo looked at Ying Hefu angrily and said, "Okay, I'll let the tribesmen do their best!"

At that moment, the generals of the forehead held their hands, and the generals on the side shot three whistles of whistle at the head of the city. Then, the sound of thousands of horses galloping. The three thousand Xi cavalrymen on the forehead stood up, raised their scimitars, and rushed towards the city gate.

The horse's hooves raised smoke and dust, covering the city gate hole, and the cavalry rushed into the city gate hole and disappeared one by one.

When the dust floated in front of Yinghefu, Etuo saw him rushing with his hands. Yinghefu, who had been listening carefully to the sound, finally stood up on the horse's back, smiled faintly and said, "The city is broken!"

The dust settled, and the Xi soldiers wearing leather armor, carrying bows and arrows, and carrying scimitars dragged out five or six people from the city.

Ying Hefu looked at it and said that the five or six people were all wearing armor or official robes, and they should be county magistrates and magistrates in the city. They were obviously captured after a fierce battle.

"I caught a big fish." Etuo smiled with a smile.

"Fan Dog!" Several people shouted loudly, Ying Hefu and Ertuo were proficient in Chinese, so how could he not know the meaning of this?

Etu pulled the knife out of the scabbard and shouted, "You have the courage to say it aside!"

"Fan Dog, I have a habit of killing me! The Tang Dynasty will avenge us!"

"No, a foreign dog, I'll move me."

"Looking for death!" Etuo raised the knife high, and suddenly felt his hands sinking. Yinghefu held his hand on the side.

Ying Hefu said, "These are heroes, and it's nothing to be scolded for a few words?"

Etuo stopped angrily and said, "I'm just scaring them. After breaking the city, you must not kill prisoners, disturb the people, or rob. Khan has too many rules."

Yinghefu smiled and said, "Didn't Khan give us much reward after the war? Bet on it and take good care of it."

"Yes." The Xi cavalry on the side beat the two men and begged them immediately.

At this time, a horse came quickly and said, "Report to the two commanders, Yan Yeliu captured Lishi County!"

"What?" Yinghefu and his forehead all showed a look of shock.

After being shocked, the two felt even more angry that they were robbed of their merits.

Lishi County is the county seat of Lishi County. The city is tall and thick, with sharp soldiers in the palace guarding it. Yan also ranked only 10,000 troops, and he could even break through within one day.

Ying Hefu led his cavalry to Lishi City overnight. He saw a head raised high above the city and wrote the four words "Shizhou Governor".

Ying Hefu thought to himself that this was Wang Jian, the governor of Shizhou. After entering the city gate, he saw that the city was in a mess and there was a scene of fire everywhere. Yan Yelei's cavalry maintained order at will on the streets, and everyone talked and laughed, without any hard battle to seize the city.

Ying Hefu, and Ertuo entered the county government office, but when he saw Yan Yeli chatting and laughing with someone.

Yan Yeli saw Ying Hefu, and asked the two of them to say now: "The two commanders, this one is Liu Jizhen. If he had not helped him, he would never be able to capture this city."

"Who is this?" Ying Hefu and Ertuo all asked secretly.

The other party smiled, congratulated Ying, and asked the two of them to hold their fists and said, "I have long been admired for a long time."

After listening to Yan Yelie's introduction, Ying Hefu and Etuo knew who this person was. It turned out that the other party had rebelled in Lishi County at the end of Daye and proclaimed himself king.

Later, Li Yuan sent general Li Zhongwen, Zhang Lun defeated him and surrendered to the other side. He was appointed as the governor of Shizhou and was granted the title of Prince of Pengcheng. This time, Li Chongjiu's army surrounded Lishi County, and Liu Jizhen killed Wang Jian, the governor of Shizhou, with his younger brother Liu Liuer.

Yan Ye's private captured Lishi County without bloodshed.

Ying Hefu, and after hearing this, everyone cursed, thinking that Yan Yeli had good luck, he would have encountered this. Otherwise, if this capital of Lishi County was attacked for a strong attack, I would not know how much it would cost.

At this time, Li Chongjiu was waiting to lead the main infantry of the government army to cross the mountains of Luliang. The area here was covered with yellow soil terrain, with several clumps of valleys swaying on the hillside, and it looked very desolate when marching.

Etuo, Yinghefu and others were cavalrymen, and had no worries, and had auxiliary cavalry to transfer, so they could attack the enemy's territory a hundred miles a day and night. However, the infantry could not do it anymore. The infantry themselves were unhappy and had to protect the long baggage team. Therefore, for several days, Li Chongjiu was still spinning in the mountains, which was really boring.

However, Li Chongjiu was waiting for Yi Ying to congratulate him, and Yan Yelie and others actually captured the five counties of Lishi County. He originally thought that he had to wait until his infantry arrived before he could capture the county town of Lishi County, but he did not expect that he would capture it at their hands.

Li Chongjiu asked someone to write the news of the great victory with a dew cloth, and he won the victory along the way. The three armies who were marching heard the news of the great victory before were also thunderous. The long team, the sound waves were higher than the other, and the rules that could not be loud during the marching were thrown away.

After hearing the news, Wang Mahan laughed even more and said to Li Chongjiu: "Xiaojiu, the attack on Lishi County in the past two days is enough to make Li Yuan frightened and Shanxi shocked."

Li Chongjiu heard the words and said, "Li Yuan is not afraid yet, don't underestimate the enemy. Li Yuan has not been away from Shijun for a long time, and people's hearts have not been attached to him, so he is the one who is used to fighting. It is not because our army can fight."

Wen Yanbo said on the side: "The governor can win but not be arrogant, so our army will continue to be as powerful as the bamboo shoot."

"It's like a storm!" Li Chongjiu said slowly, saying, "I'm right. Attacking Taiyuan will inevitably be fast. Our army doesn't have much food and grass. If we are trapped under a strong city, we will inevitably suffer setbacks, so we must speed up the marches."

Wang Mahan and Wen Yanbo are both called it.

Li Chongjiu said, "Now that Liu Jizhen and Liu Liu'er surrendered, this is an unexpected result. In this way, our army would not have to cross this mountain and go to Lishi County. We immediately ordered Etuo, Ying Hefu, and Yan Yeli to lead the army to Taiyuan County to meet our army!"

Wang Mahan laughed and said, "Okay, the army is coming together, this is a big battle with Li Tang."

September in the first year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty.

September in the first year of Emperor Tai of Sui Dynasty.

After Li Chongjiu captured Shizhou, he led his government army and the main force of the Marine Army, 30,000 troops, continued to move south from Yanmen and arrive in Taiyuan County.

Ying Hefu, Ertuo, and Yan Erlie broke through Shizhou and led 30,000 cavalrymen to attack Taiyuan County from the west.
