Outside Dingzhou City, when it was night, the city walls were very busy. Soldiers in groups of three or three rushed down the city, just like the river city where the mountains and rivers were at their end.

Cao Yijin, deputy envoy of the Crane Control Army, took the soldiers to take turns to guard the camp and gathered the troops to disperse. By dawn, he had already collected more than 200 people. This was the largest number of people who had surrendered from the city in several months.

During the Chen period, Duke Li Gongqiu brought three thousand soldiers to replace Cao Yijin's tribe.

At this moment, a huge siege battle was launched in the north, west and east directions of Dingzhou.

After the Tianxiong Army arrived in Peiping Prefecture, the saint transferred all the guards' personal troops (10,000 people) and the left and right wings of the returned Tielin Army to the city of Dingzhou. They fought repeatedly with the Hubei Daozhou Army, the Youguo Army, the Hehe Army, and the newly arrived Daozhou Army in Henan, and fought repeatedly and fought endlessly.

Li Gongqiu had been to friendly camps. In his opinion, the progress of each army has been great.

The Hubei Daozhou Army Group was indeed robbed of the fierce siege at the beginning. Even when the Yiwu Army left the city to charge, they were defeated several times.

But Ge Congzhou was a qualified general. He even held the iron mace himself and smashed the deserter's head and chest. At the same time, he rewarded the soldiers with excellent performance and asked for their merits. For this reason, he did not hesitate to make a big fuss with the people of the Privy Council and the Six Divisions, and even made a fuss at the desk of the saints. Ge Congzhou wanted to fight and fight to win the local official position for the soldiers who dared to fight. It can be seen that after presiding over the attack and destruction of the two towns of Cangjing and Youzhou, he had gradually faded his cautious attitude and became more like a tough commander.

The losses of the Crane Control Army were also huge.

After all, this is a hurried unit, and it is even full of new recruits. As the saying goes, the officialdom urges people to grow old, but the battlefield is not the same? Those who are not physically strong, morale, spirit, skills and even luck are eliminated. The remaining people are brave enough to move forward, and retreat means death, and advance may not necessarily die. Under the leadership of veterans of the Chishui Army, through high-intensity war, they have made considerable progress overall.

Li Gongqiu looked back at the soldiers behind him. They quickly fell to the bottom from a high morale state, and then rebounded to the bottom in the cruel war, climbing up little by little. Perhaps it was worse than the initial high morale, but the morale that had not experienced the war was "fake morale". After the bloody battle, the morale that could still be maintained is "true morale".

The Crane Control Army survived the refinement, and the people who stayed will only be more powerful.

"The people of the Tielin Army are a little afraid of death." At the time of handover, Cao Yijin looked back at the battlefield and smiled.

"The more you are afraid of death, the faster you die." Li Gongqi said: "However, the thieves are almost gone, and they dare not go out of the city to fight, otherwise the Tie Lin army would be in a hurry."

"I heard that when he was in Weizhou, Liang Hanfeng killed more than ten generals of the Tielin Army in one breath, and led the timid and unprecedented people to the front row to attack the city, and promoted the new generals who dared to fight and fight. The left wing's combat strength has been restored. The one who is not bad now is the right wing, and we have to practice again." Cao Yijin didn't think anything was wrong with the Tielin Army. In his opinion, the overall strength of the Killing Crane Army was indeed not as good as the Tielin Army, but if the field battle was opened, it was difficult to say who would lose and who would win, because the Killing Crane Army had at least a few thousand elite soldiers who dared to fight for their lives. With him as the main force of the Killing Crane Army, the Tielin Army might not be able to stop it.

After all, we still have to fight.

The saint served as the Iron Forest Army envoy, and was nepotist. In the long run, the ups and downs of this army had problems. Now, the blood on the battlefield needs to be cured, and the erections are left to rejuvenate, so that it can be rejuvenated.

The siege lasted all day, and the troops took turns to go up. When the guards retreated in the sunset, the battle finally ended.

Each department went back to its own camp, eating, covering the wounds, repairing the equipment, and repairing the equipment. It was busy but not messy, just like the past six months.

And at midnight, under the dark night, under the severely damaged city wall, a group of people quietly opened the only Nancheng gate without fighting and ran away.

The three sieges and one is a common siege tactic, with the purpose of dismantling the will of the defenders and luring them to escape. The Xia army besieged Dingzhou, besieged from three sides, leaving only the south to not fight. The Yiwu army was not stupid, knowing that once they lost the support of the city wall, they would easily be caught up by the enemy in the empty wilderness and defeated the entire army.

Therefore, they did not escape from the south at the beginning. But today, when they were gradually exhausted, they couldn't take care of anything. They knew it was a trap and wanted to jump. They should use the cover of the night as much as possible. How many people could run away?

The retreat was orderly at the beginning. But as he ran, rumors broke out. The emotions of the soldiers of the Yiwu Army were in an extremely unstable state. When they listened to the wind, they would be rainy, and their morale collapsed instantly.

As a result, the chaos at the city gate began to intensify, from the initial low-pitched scolding to pushing and shoving, and then to beat each other - in order to fight.

The Jiedushi Wang Gao looked back at the increasingly chaotic Nancheng, sighed and shed tears.

The Wang family's two generations, with twenty-six years of foundation, was overwhelmed.

The family members who stay in the city should be blessed.

In the dark night, there were sounds of horse hooves in groups of three or three. Wang Gao knew that it was the Xia army scout who was active at night. He no longer hesitated, ran wildly towards Zhenzhou.

*******

On the tenth day of June of the fifth year of Jianji, it was only two days before the wedding of his eldest son Shao Siwu. Shao Shude suddenly received a military newspaper from Ge Congzhou: conquering Dingzhou.

Dingzhou is a big county. It was called Boling in ancient times, with as many as ten counties. After the outbreak of the Huang Chao Rebellion, before Li Quanzhong came to attack, the population of Dingzhou reached its peak, almost surpassing the limit of Tianbao, with a population of 500,000.

Then came the continuous war. Because Li Keyong's strategic focus was in Hebei and Yi Ding repeatedly helped Hedong, the various vassals in Hebei regarded him as a traitor and a lackey of the Jin people, and they must try to pull him out and get it away.

Yi Ding was unable to escape from the war from then on.

The population is declining and the economy is gradually declining. Dingzhou, which once produced various high-quality silks including Luo, Zi, Xiaolian, Ruilian, two-corner silk, single-corner silk, two-pack silk, and mature silk. The production of silk is declining year by year, and people's lives are becoming increasingly difficult.

But the life of the warriors did not seem to be too affected. On the contrary, because of the frequent wars, the generals had to do their best to satisfy their appetites, and their income was even greater, and the price was the increasing shrinking of the wealth of the people.

Perhaps one day, when the existing wealth of the people is lowered below the cordon and the new wealth is not enough to cover the expenses, their lives will be affected. But at this time, the war may not end. When the martial artists in Yunzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou were not even rewarded and could not even eat meat, they were still fighting and resisting repeatedly until the last part of their energy was exhausted...

Dingzhou's vitality was not exhausted at this time. But Wang Gao could not hold on and abandoned the city to break through. From the perspective of the common people, it might be a good thing. As long as the tragic situation of Xuzhou Shi Pu, Shao Shude felt that it was time to kill a group of people.

"Where has the Wuwei Army been?" Shao Shude asked.

"I have arrived in Weizhou." Zhu Shuzong, the Privy Councilor of the Southern Ya, replied.

"Abolish the Youzhou camp, form the Xingzhou camp, and use Lu Huaizhong as the commander of the camp." Shao Shude ordered: "Wuwei, Tielin, Guanhe, and the four armies of Youguo will all be under their command. The guards' personal army, Meng Zhixiang's troops, and the troops of all Daozhou will be under their jurisdiction."

"The Tianxiong Army envoy Zang Dubao was appointed as the commander of the Shanhouxingying Headquarters, Tianxiong, the two armies of Yingui, the guards' personal army, Helian Jun's troops and other foreign soldiers, were all under their control. The Tianxiong Army was temporarily stationed in Beiping Prefecture."

"Longxiang, Tiande, after the three armies of Dingnan received the reward, the troops will be repaired."

"Ge Congzhou is a marquis of Neixiang County? The great achievements of conquering the three towns must be paid. Immediately prepare the book and grant him the title of Duke of Ji, and the food is entrusted to 4,000 households."

"All the soldiers who have made meritorious service will be rewarded according to the roster."

"More than 10,000 Yi Ding soldiers captured from the front and back, all of them were sent to Peiping Prefecture to build a palace city."

"Transfer Zhao Cen, the governor of Yuanzhou, to be the governor of Dingzhou."

"Zhen Xu, the commander of the right wing of the Tielin Army, was transferred to the commander of the Dingzhou Prefecture Army and immediately took office."

"I will obey the order." The Privy Councilors present and the prime ministers responded one after another.

Ge Congzhou was accomplished and was ranked as the Duke of the State. He was also a genuine Duke of the State with a fief. He was incomparable to Zhao Kuangning, the Duke of Jing who did not have a fief.

Strictly speaking, there are only three genuine dukes in Daxia now, including Li Tangbin, Duke of Lu, who was granted 4,300 households, Duke of Wei, who was granted 4,000 households, and Ge Congzhou, who was granted 4,000 households.

After being named Duke, it was difficult to make meritorious contributions. Only Lao Lu was special. Li Tangbin still works in the Privy Council. He, along with Yang Yue, Hu Zhen and Wang Bian, were the deputy envoys of the Privy Council in the Southern Yai.

Wherever Shao Shude went, people like Li Tangbin had to follow him, called giving advice, but in fact they were worried that he would stay in important places like Luoyang, Chang'an, and Peking. It was not that he doubted him, but that he protected him. Once he was bullied by the soldiers, some things would be difficult to explain.

After the political discussion was completed, before leaving, Shao Shude issued another decree: to adjust Fu Cunshen as the envoy of the left and right Tielin Army.

This is a surprising will.

The generals of the Tielin Army, Ruye Liyuluo, Zheng Yong, Xu Hao and others did not receive the reward, but instead transferred an outsider to come over, and the meaning of punishment was very obvious.

But the saint still had expectations for the Tie Lin Army. He hoped that Fu Cunshen could rectify this army well, regain its vitality and become a powerful force.

With the destruction of Yiding Town, there was only a disabled Chengde Town left on the land of Hebei.

When the Xia army attacked Yi Ding, Chengde sent troops to rescue several times in Hedong, but the results were not ideal. Especially Chengde, because it was so close, it was quite hard. However, the losses were not light in several field battles and even was taken away from Jizhou.

Wang Rong now only has Zhen, Zhao and Shenzhou, and the morale of the army is also very average. The next step is to attack him.

The Xingzhou camp is about to begin to be formed, and by then 200,000 troops will be suppressed, and Chengde will not give up.
