In just a few days, Li Fei actually swept most of Hebei. Not only was Shi Siming so shocked that he almost fell off his horse's back, but the remaining anti-army troops in Hebei who had not yet been taken down by Li Fei were also scared and panicked when they heard it.

If Shi Siming had not led 350,000 anti-army troops across the Yellow River, they would have surrendered to Li Fei directly without Li Fei's troops at the city.

There is no doubt that Li Fei and Shi Siming will definitely have a decisive battle. The remaining anti-army forces in these prefectures and counties are waiting and watching. Once Shi Siming is defeated, they will immediately betray Shi Siming and surrender to Li Fei.

It can be said that if Li Fei defeated Shi Siming in a battle, he would be able to settle the entire north of the Yellow River immediately.

Shi Siming led 350,000 anti-army troops to Xiangzhou without stopping.

In Handan, about 60 miles away from Xiangzhou City, Li Fei also gathered all the armies again. In addition to leaving some defenders in the captured city, 170,000 Anton Army soldiers gathered together again.

In addition to generals such as Lu Xin, Luo Ying, Zhang Shuo, Yuan Kui, Li Guangbi also led an army and became the chief generals all the way.

If you want to lead the Anton Army to fight, Li Guangbi felt too relaxed.

The Anton Army is so well-equipped. The city walls are not an obstacle at all, and cannons can easily attack the city.

After attacking the city, the soldiers of the anti-army defenders often collapsed, and the army easily occupied the city.

Li Guangbi estimated that after the ten major troops of Andong Army captured so many cities, less than 3,000 casualties, which was minimal.

Only then could Li Guangbi get some passion by preparing to fight Shi Siming's main force in Xiangzhou.

"That guy Guo Ziyi has a bad temper and refuses to join the war. It is a big loss for him!" Li Guangbi thought of his "old comrade-in-arms" Guo Ziyi, shook his head and sighed.

Originally, Li Fei also invited Guo Ziyi, hoping that Guo Ziyi would also lead an army to participate in this war, but Guo Ziyi believed that doing so would be equivalent to serving Li Fei and completely betrayed the Tang Dynasty. He still had a knot in his heart and refused to say anything.

Li Fei did not force Guo Ziyi. In fact, Guo Ziyi already had two sons following Li Fei and became two generals around Li Fei. Even if Guo Ziyi did not lead the troops for Li Fei, he could not wash away the situation even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Because of his son, he had already been marked by Li Fei. However, his thoughts in some directions were too stubborn and his temper was very bad. I am afraid it will take some time to recognize the reality. Li Fei was not in a hurry.

"If you leave, you will fight here in Hebei!" Li Fei led his army out of Handan and pointed directly at Xiangzhou.

Originally, with the strength of Andong's Iron Cavalry, Li Fei was able to occupy Xiangzhou before Shi Siming, but Li Fei did not do that. Anyway, defeating Shi Siming's 350,000 "moons" was not a difficult thing in his eyes.

As Li Fei led the army to approach Xiangzhou, Shi Siming's heart also became more and more pressure.

When he was leading his army north to cross the Yellow River, Shi Siming was full of heroism and was confident that he could stand in the Youzhou City area with his 350,000 troops under his command, Li Fei, and even defeat Li Fei and take advantage of the opportunity to enter Andong.

But as Li Fei instantly captured Youzhou City, the autumn wind swept through the fallen leaves in less than ten days, sweeping across most of Hebei. Shi Siming's heroic spirit was gone, replaced by tension and fear. He no longer had much confidence in defeating Li Fei.

Li Fei's performance was too terrifying. It was a stormy aura. Before the confrontation had even occurred, the momentum that swept across most of Hebei had already scared Shi Siming.

Fortunately, Shi Siming has more than 380,000 anti-army troops around him, twice that of Li Fei's Andong army, so Shi Siming still has some confidence.

Shi Siming crossed the Yellow River north with 350,000 anti-army troops, but after crossing the Yellow River, Shi Siming transferred all the defenders from some prefectures and counties along the way, and there were more than 10,000 defenders in Xiangzhou City, so Shi Siming now has more than 380,000 anti-army troops around him.

The distance of sixty miles is not far. At the time of Si, an Andong Iron Cavalry had already arrived in Xiangzhou as a vanguard.

In the morning, Li Fei led the remaining Andong Army to arrive.

The 170,000 Andong Army confronted Shi Siming and more than 380,000 anti-army forces.

On the surface, Shi Siming's anti-army army was densely packed, more than twice the number of Li Fei's Andong's army. But in fact, Shi Siming's anti-army army was uneven, and a large number of soldiers were mobs who were strongly recruited young and strong. They had no training, and their armor was lacking, and their formation was scattered. On the other hand, Li Fei's 170,000 Anton's army had shining armor, neat and rigorous formation, and the soldiers were full of energy. The performance of an elite group crushed Shi Siming's anti-army army in terms of momentum.

Shi Siming had a calm face, frowned, and his psychological pressure was even greater. Although he was sometimes arrogant, he was a hero after all, and he still had certain eyesight. He could tell the surface comparison.

After arriving at the confrontation distance, the soldiers of the Anton Army's artillery battalion immediately began to build artillery positions.

This time, Li Fei brought a total of six artillery battalions and 210 cannons.

This decisive battle is a war that really reveals its power since the birth of the cannon. The previous attack on Youzhou City was just a few cannons fired in the situation, and the real power of the cannon was not shown much.

Moreover, because Youzhou City fell too quickly, most of Hebei was swept across the lightning like falling leaves by Li Fei, Qiu Feng, so Shi Siming didn't know that Li Fei had terrifying things like cannons.

Li Fei had to wait for the cannon to take his position and was not in a hurry to attack.

On the other hand, Shi Siming was unwilling to wait. Li Fei'an's rigorous military formation and the shining cold armor showed a wave of oppressive momentum. He was afraid that if the time was delayed, the anti-army under his command would be timid before the battle, so Shi Siming ordered his anti-army to attack.

"Kill!" Shi Siming was holding a big knife in his hand, pointing his sword forward, with 70,000 most elite soldiers in front, and behind them were the other 200,000 anti-army soldiers. Shi Siming, as the reserve army, did not all move out at once.

At that time, Shi Siming had 40,000 elite troops under his command, swept Hebei, captured Luoyang, and attacked Tongguan and swept Jianghuai and other places to conquer cities and land. Shi Siming continued to eliminate and trained 100,000 "elite" anti-army troops. Shi Siming only left 20,000 in Luoyang, and 120,000 were taken to cross the Yellow River north.

Of course, what Shi Siming called the "elite" is compared with the current Tang Dynasty court. In fact, until the war is over, the Tang Dynasty's armament warehouse has long been used up. Not only can the anti-military weapons be used up, but the Tang Dynasty's army cannot be used, and even a large number of Tang soldiers, anti-military soldiers cannot even use armor. Even those who can use armor are considered "elite".

However, Li Fei's Anton Army was armed to the teeth, well-trained, and had battlefield experience. Among them, 100,000 were elite soldiers in the hundreds of battles before the large-scale expansion. In Li Fei's eyes, the so-called "elite soldiers" of Shi Siming's anti-army army were still a mob...
