Chapter 941: The Battle Begins

It is not Li Shimin's plan to set up barricades to besiege and not attack, so how can the soldiers not attack when they are in the city.

Li Shimin will never miss such an opportunity, and he will set up checkpoints on the surrounding roads with soldiers and horses.

When the people who were passing by saw it, they all took a detour.

"Your Majesty, the spies came to report that Li Shimin led people to set up checkpoints on all the nearby main roads, and merchants were not allowed to come over, and their soldiers and horses have not yet been investigated."

Li Mi's face was calm, he was thinking about how to deal with the current difficulties, and it would be a loss to rashly send troops without knowing where the other party had many soldiers and horses ambushing.

The situation waits for no one, and the only way to do this is to keep the enemy out of the city gates.

"General Shan, if you are not good at coming this time, can you have a strategy to defend against the enemy?"

"From the point of view of the last general, the wall of Wagang City is towering, 10,000 troops can resist 100,000 enemies, as long as the enemy sticks to the city, the enemy can't get in, but this method is too passive, if you can take the initiative to attack, with the existing soldiers and horses of Wagang to defeat it to solve the siege crisis."

Li Mi was thinking, the wolf smoke will rise, 300,000 soldiers and horses will arrive, it is very safe in the city, and he hesitates to send troops to attack at any time when he thinks of always beware of the enemy to attack at any time.

According to Shan Xiongxin, defeating the enemy is the best way, he is not without the confidence to win, but he is still weighing the pros and cons.

The Wei state had just been established, and he had to be cautious in every decision.

Shan Xiongxin has long been accustomed to seeing Li Mi not speaking for a long time, and Li Mi will hesitate whenever he encounters a major event, and he really doesn't like this kind of indecisive character.

In his opinion, what is there to worry about when the enemy has come over, and besides, there are so many soldiers and horses in Wei, what is there to be afraid of.

"Your Majesty can't wait any longer, you should make a decision early."

Shan Xiongxin reminded loudly, otherwise I really don't know how long it will take, it is already delaying the fighter plane by now, and it will become more and more passive if it drags on.

"General Shan, the elite in the city stays behind, light the wolf smoke and allow you to mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses to fight first, and if you ambush me according to your method, I will immediately send troops to help you get out of trouble."

Li Mi can do this, it is already very interesting, Shan Xiongxin, if you can choose, he would rather mobilize 30,000 elites than 50,000 soldiers and horses in the suburbs.

If you get trapped, the more experienced soldiers will have a better chance of survival.

"Yes."

It's a pity that he is just a soldier who leads the army to fight, and the deployment of soldiers and horses is not what he says, and being able to have 50,000 soldiers and horses is already a good result.

"General Shan, you are the pillar of the Wei State, you must be careful and safe when you go out in battle, if you encounter danger, don't care about the gains and losses, my Wei State will rely on you to protect it."

Li Mi is true feelings, he has a few catties and a few taels, and he knows that it is okay to talk about the army on paper, and if Wagang does not have Shan Xiongxin to command the army, no one will be able to replace his position.

It's not that Li De can't look down on others, it's really hard to find good generals, and with Shan Xiongxin's strength, he is also ranked high on the list of heroes in the world, and it's too difficult to find a second one if he loses.

With Li Mi's instructions, Shan Xiongxin was still very pleased, at least the king he had served so far would take care of his own life.

People in the rivers and lakes already like to be willful, and with this conversation, the relationship between the two seems to be really a step forward.

And Shan Xiongxin seems to have forgotten that the emperor's best skill as an emperor is to play the emotional card, and then he will be grateful and even willing to give his life for it.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, how can a mere Li Shimin be the opponent of the Wei State, watch me kill him without leaving a piece of armor." Shan Xiongxin is arrogant, at this time he is full of desire to fight, and the general scoop of the rivers and lakes is extraordinary. 652 Literature Network

"Light the wolf smoke and open the city gates,"

The people in Wagang City are ready, although they have not been able to deploy the elite of Wagang, but Shan Xiongxin's escort team has good combat effectiveness, and before the battle, all of them are assigned to the guards to serve as captains of each team.

The arrival of 50,000 soldiers and horses and the generals who command the army are all arranged, so that they can quickly take over the 50,000 soldiers and horses, and can pass on effective orders.

This method is all from the teachings of Youzhou, and there are many obvious advantages and disadvantages, but it is very effective to use at this moment.

Li Shimin carefully arranged, and they guessed that relying on the current Wagang soldiers might not be able to defeat, after all, the advantage in strength was obvious.

Li Shimin took all his family with him on this expedition, and if he couldn't achieve results, he would definitely become a laughing stock.

The soldiers and horses arranged for this purpose are very cautious.

"General Shan, I have searched a radius of ten miles, except for a few checkpoints, I have not found the shadow of the enemy's soldiers and horses."

Shan Xiongxin was very cautious, he didn't rush to the level, and first searched the neighborhood for fear of trying to find out the enemy's ambush soldiers.

"Immediately gather soldiers and horses to rush with me to kill the level."

Shan Xiongxin had the best preparation, if he came to the fortified checkpoint, he would definitely garrison guards, otherwise the checkpoint would lose its meaning.

Blocking the caravan's way out has a great impact on Wagang City, and must be stopped.

The 50,000 soldiers and horses were divided into a nine-square grid formation by Shan Xiongxin, and there were soldiers and horses to reinforce before and after the attack on the side.

Although it is not as familiar as the elite soldier drill, it can also play a supporting role with the cooperation of the captains.

"The soldiers and horses of the Wei State have been killed, and there are 50,000 people at the checkpoint in the west, and according to the strength of the army, it can delay the time of two incense sticks at most."

"50,000 soldiers and horses, so that 150,000 soldiers and horses can be dispatched immediately." Li Shimin gave an order, and he was very confident that 150,000 soldiers and horses would fight against 50,000.

"General Shan, the other party has been passively defending, probably delaying time and waiting for reinforcements, should we temporarily reserve our strength and withdraw first?"

Shan Xiongxin trusted his lieutenant very much, and was able to say these suggestions purely for fear of falling into the enemy's trap.

"Wait a minute, I don't rush to attack and maintain the formation of the Nine Palaces, I want to see how many people he Li Shimin will send over."

Shan Xiongxin has Li Mi's support, and it is not ashamed that he can't fight and retreat directly.

150,000 soldiers and horses arrived and continued to fight after seeing each other, and the strength of the troops could be clearly contrasted from the flow of people on the battlefield.

"General Shan, the number of opponents is at least three times that of us." The lieutenant general next to him reminded.

"If you want to bully more and bully, then let him try the power of the Wagang formation, the round formation."

The nine-square grid formation suddenly turned into a circle, and as soon as the men and horses pulled apart, the soldiers on both sides opened and engaged in depth, and the two sides could clearly feel that the team was stretched horizontally.

The formation of the Wagang soldiers is not only open but has increased several layers inside and out, and the people behind are all pikemen, specially used to support the soldiers in front.

After the area of the battle expanded, the speed of casualties began to accelerate, and although Li Shimin had many people, he was unable to adapt to the cooperation of the other side at once.

The other party's cooperation is regular and more energy-saving, and the people who supplement it later are very timely, and they began to suffer a lot of losses, and only after adapting did they reduce casualties.
