Chapter 256: The Stars Fall

Hebei, the city of Zhushui, at this time has been completely reduced to a battlefield, in the night, and under the heavy snow, the sound of shouting and killing on the city wall is endless all night, and at this time the city has long been precarious, the enemy army attacking the city is like a tide to the city, and then, it was desperately suppressed by the Tang army who swore to resist to the death, and the city wall has long been full of corpses of both the enemy and us, but whether it is the Tang army or Liu Heimin's army, there is no flinching.

The young Luo Shixin stood on the city wall and looked at the black enemy army under the city, and then turned around and looked at the few remaining Tang army soldiers behind him. I thought I could resist Liu Heimin with my own courage, but I didn't expect that this Liu Heimin's bravery was so amazing, but we all served under Mi Gong at that time, but I have never heard of this person, now that I think about it, this is really a pity! The young general thought. Then, looking at the enemy army rushing towards the city wall again, Luo Shixin grabbed the weapon in his hand very calmly: "Tang army up and down, charge with me!" He took the lead and with his unrivalled bravery he once again drove the enemy who had rushed to the walls out of the city......

Outside the city, in the Chinese army camp of the Tang Army next to the Zhushui River, Li Shimin's face was already full of determination, and even vaguely contained anger: "Aid to the city at any cost, even if you can't defend the city, you have to rescue me......"

When the eldest grandson Wuji and the others on the side heard this, their faces all showed embarrassment: "The resistance of Liu Heimin's army is too fierce, and now it is the season of heavy snowfall, due to the obstruction of heavy snow, the progress of our army has become very difficult, and we want to break Liu Heimin's blockade of the city tonight." This is really too difficult, I hope King Qin will think twice! ”

Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji and others broke out a fierce quarrel, the eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling and others all thought that it was really difficult to rescue the water, and the snowy weather at this time was very unfavorable to the Tang army, so they tried their best to dissuade Li Shimin from sending troops to rescue the water city, wanting Luo Shixin to fend for himself in the water city. As for the dissuasion of these people, Li Shimin expressed extreme anger: "The reason why my subordinates are willing to follow me is because I will never abandon them, and if I break this promise today, what face will I have to lead them in the future, and go to the battlefield to shed blood for the country!" Li Shimin said, because of excitement, tears flashed in his eyes: "Since you don't agree to be a civil servant." If you think the rescue is irrational, then I will go by myself, and all the generals will obey the order! With Li Shimin's shout, all the generals present stood up. All the people have an order, and the whole army will not hesitate to pay a ...... to the water! ”

Under Li Shimin's order, all the camps of the Tang army immediately took action. Hundreds of thousands of Tang troops lined up and slowly but surely pressed towards the city. And there, at this time, it was surrounded by Liu Heimin's army.

Liu Heimin's military heart was also shaking at this time, and the city in front was still resisting stubbornly, repelling his own attacks again and again, and behind, with the Tang army all thrown into the battlefield. Liu Heimin's troops to resist the Tang Army had gradually become unbearable, and no one thought that in such a bad weather, Li Shimin would still have the courage to forcibly mobilize the army to attack with all his might.

"General, let's withdraw. Li Shimin seems to be going to fight to the death with us under the city of Lishui! If you don't go, once Li Shimin's army surrounds you, it will be difficult for our army to go, and at that time, even if both sides fight and lose, the strength of the Tang army is far superior to our army, and it is still our army that suffers from losses! Gao Yaxian, the patriarch of the original Xia Army who once supported Liu Heimin, relied on his identity and finally persuaded Liu Heimin. And when Gao Yaxian got up, the other generals immediately opened their mouths to persuade Liu Heimin.

Liu Heimin's age is not very old, in fact, he is only the same age as Li Shimin and Luo Shixin at this time. The so-called cross-currents show the true character of heroes. At this time, the expression on the face of the young hero was also very calm, and he was not angry because the generals wanted to retreat, "The city of water is broken, it's tonight!" Liu Heimin said in a calm tone: "And I think Li Shimin also saw this, so he will attack our army at any cost, because he is already in a hurry now!" So what we have to do is not to make him happy! ”

While talking, Liu Heimin walked forward with steps: "Gao Yaxian and Wang Xiaohu listen to the order, at this time, the generals in the camp will be handed over to the two of you to command, and you must block the attack of the Tang army behind!" And myself? He stopped and looked at the fierce general on the city wall who was fighting to kill and injure his men, "I will personally lead my troops to attack the water!" After a while, this brave general who was already famous in the world when he was under Zhang Xutuo! Liu Heimin said, a flash of excitement flashing in his eyes.

The fierce battle continued, both the Tang army and Liu Heimin's army had already used all their strength, and Li Shimin even led the army to charge personally, however, due to the desperate resistance of Liu Heimin's army, the progress was slow, and the situation in the city of Zhushui immediately became precarious under the personal attack of Liu Heimin's troops. Liu Heimin's personal participation in the battle immediately made the already extremely tenacious army burst out with more amazing combat effectiveness, and in contrast, it was Luo Shixin who immediately felt the pressure doubled, Luo Shixin couldn't remember how long he hadn't rested, this time, no matter how many times he charged forward, how many enemies he killed, and threw the enemy's corpse off the city wall, however, he never repelled the enemy's attack, and the enemies rushing towards him seemed to be endless, and with the passage of time, Luo Shixin could clearly feel that his body had gradually reached its limit.

"Is that the reason why the enemy is rushing to kill the enemy general who is at the forefront at this time?" Luo Shixin's eyes swept over the battlefield, at this time, the enemy army was strangling the remaining Tang army soldiers under the leadership of a young general in black armor, this general and his bravery, he was not under him at all, and the number of enemy troops around him was extremely large, therefore. Although the soldiers of the Tang Army were also desperately resisting, they were still under the strangulation led by this general, and the number was constantly decreasing. rushed out in the direction of the general, and then, killing countless enemies in front of him, fought fiercely with the enemy general.

Even though he is already physically and mentally exhausted, however, Luo Shixin is Luo Shixin, one of the few peerless generals in the world, and under his desperate attack, even Liu Heimin, a brave general who also champions the three armies, has a sense of awe in his heart. However, in the face of a strong enemy, Liu Heimin's heart was not only not afraid, but refreshed, his face flushed slightly, and then, without showing weakness, he went up and fought to the death with Luo Shixin. Behind the two. The remaining soldiers of the Tang Army and the soldiers of Liu Heimin, who had climbed the city wall, also rushed up one after another, fighting desperately......

The shouts of killing over the head of the water city finally gradually weakened. Then, after a moment of silence, it was replaced by an earth-shattering cheer, and Li Shimin, who was sitting on his spare war horse preparing for the next charge, heard this voice, and his heart was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse. Then, like all the officers and men of the Tang Army, he looked at the head of the city of Zhushui that was making a loud cheer, although it was dark at this time, and because of the snow. In fact, he couldn't see anything, but Li Shimin still seemed to see the picture of the military flag symbolizing the Tang Army falling from the city wall...... Li Daoxuan, a disciple of the clan, came to him at this time and asked Li Shimin, "Second brother, do you continue to rush?" Then, he found that his second brother's face was already full of tears at this time!

"No need! The whole army collects troops and returns to the camp! "After a long time, Li Shimin's voice came, his voice seemed extremely tired, and such a Li Shimin was also something that Li Daoxuan, a disciple of the clan, had never seen." It's no wonder, after all, this time, it's also the first time he has lost his robe brothers to the enemy! Li Daoxuan said in his heart, and then he said loudly: "The last general obeys the order!" "Then leave and go and deliver the message to the whole army.

Under the blowing of the cold wind, the tears on Li Shimin's face soon condensed and turned into ice particles, and Li Shimin's heart became extremely cold like the ice particles on his face. Li Shimin never thought that on the battlefield, he would hate a person so much, and among the enemies he encountered before, whether it was Xue Rengao and his son, or Liu Wuzhou, Song Jingang and others, he only thought that they were opponents standing on different positions, so after achieving a strategic victory, he would often let the other party live to show his tolerance, but now, Li Shimin's mind has finally changed, at least, he will never let Liu Heimin go, he wants to completely defeat Liu Heimin, Then he used his life to honor his brother.

On the walls of the city wall, Liu Heimin's army was scattering and parting, revealing the person who was surrounded by them: Luo Shixin! Even though he was covered in blood, Luo Shixin still stood there tenaciously, his bravery and tenacity even his enemies couldn't help but be in awe, so when all the Tang soldiers had been killed and wounded, and he was the only one, the enemy did not continue to attack him, but retreated one after another, giving way to an open space.

Liu Heimin walked out: "Surrender!" You are the invincible warrior in the world, you shouldn't die here, that's a pity! He looked at Luo Shixin and persuaded him.

The battle has been going on until now, and Luo Shixin has already known that the black-armored general in front of him is the famous Liu Heimin at this time, recalling the picture of Fang Cai, this person taking the lead in a death fight with himself, Luo Shixin also laughed: "Not only me, you are also an invincible general in the world!" Hey, but if you surrender, you don't have to, if you can die in the hands of a fierce general like you, Luo Shixin will not lose money in this life! ”

When Liu Heimin heard this, he sighed before he said: "This battle, I can't win it, after all, your men have been killed and wounded, and our side has been fighting more and less, however, you should understand that this is not a competition between military generals and singles, but a revenge, our hatred for the Tang Army is indelible, so I will definitely not show mercy!" ”

Luo Shixin nodded when he heard this: "It's right to do this, because after Zhang Shuai's death, I also came over like this!" Luo Shixin said, Zhang Shuai in his mouth is Zhang Xutuo, not only the last optimus pillar of the Sui Dynasty, but also Luo Shixin's former great benefactor, after Zhang Xutuo was ambushed and killed by Li Mi, even if he clearly knew that Li Mi's move was not for hatred, but just for the difference in their respective positions, Luo Shixin still regarded Li Mi as an enemy, and he was eager to kill him quickly, this hatred continued until he followed the Sui Dynasty general Pei Renji to surrender Li Mi did not stop, so later, he would easily take refuge in Wang Shichong...... Later, after Wang Shichong defeated Li Mi, he was suspicious and jealous of the nature of the virtuous, Luo Shixin saw the nature of this villain, so when the Tang army came to attack Wang Shichong, he resolutely surrendered to Tang, and then became Li Shimin's general.

At this time, Luo Shixin had only been working under Li Shimin for two years, and he had already followed Zhang Xutuo, Pei Renji, Li Mi and Wang Shichong, four well-known figures in the Central Plains, respectively, so according to common sense, when facing Liu Heimin's solicitation at this time, it should not be difficult for Luo Shixin to defect, not to mention, Liu Heimin is not a capricious villain like Wang Shichong, and Luo Shixin is actually not disgusted with him in his heart.

However, in the face of Liu Heimin's surrender, Luo Shixin still rejected the other party: "After Zhang Shuai's death, I have indeed lost my place to live, so I will change the main general all the way from Pei Renji to Wang Shichong, in fact, at those times, in addition to still remembering Zhang Shuai's hatred in my heart, I don't know where I should go in the future, until, after I surrendered to Li Shimin, the king of Qin, because I couldn't bear it!" ”

Luo Shixin laughed: "Although like you and me, King Qin is also the same young, however, unlike martial artists like you and me, King Qin was born in a noble family, so he has a wide range of knowledge, and he has a heart for the world, and he is very different from many extravagant children who are greedy for pleasure, heh, if I have ever had a dream, then there is no doubt that King Qin is the person I want to become the most in my dreams, just as I will not betray my dream, this time, I will not betray King Qin again!" ”

Just like the story of the two tigers envy each other because of their different circumstances, the wild tiger envy the tiger in the cage that can not have to work hard to hunt every day, and the tiger in the cage is envious of the freedom of the wild tiger, and just like the two tigers, Li Shimin and Luo Shixin also have what they desire each other, Luo Shixin is eager to have Li Shimin's aristocratic temperament and the courage to have the world, and Li Shimin is envious of Luo Shixin's unparalleled courage on the battlefield! Therefore, in fact, it doesn't take too long, as long as two people have the same mind, they can quickly become friends with all their hearts, and friends are naturally willing to die for each other!

Liu Heimin looked at Luo Shixin, and Luo Shixin also looked at Liu Heimin, looking at the resolute gaze of this brave general, Liu Heimin knew that this time, Luo Shixin would not surrender, so he finally retreated gloomily, and behind him, countless soldiers rushed up, Luo Shixin looked at the enemies who rushed up, his face showed a smile again, and then, again, he pulled out his blade and pounced......

At the beginning of the fifth year of Wude, the Tang army and Liu Heimin's army confronted in the water, the soldiers and civilians of the city surrendered to the Tang army, Li Shimin sent the general Wang Junkuo to garrison, Liu Heimin led the army to attack the city personally, the offensive was fierce, Wang Junkuo could not resist, the general Luo Shixin then fought bravely, took over Wang Junkuo to garrison the city, coincided with the heavy snowfall in the sky, the shape shì was not good for the Tang army, Liu Heimin took the opportunity to storm the city of Zhushui, and the Tang army's rescue was not effective, so the city was broken, and the brave general Luo Shixin was unwilling to surrender, so he died in battle. (To be continued......)
