The war in the north of the Great Sui was raging, and the Turkic army of hundreds of thousands went south again, which naturally attracted the attention of many people, but for Yang Tong, the princes and family lords were also not good, although the war report in the north came like flowing water, but it did not cause much shock, in the eyes of the princes and family lords, this is a dog-eat-dog battle, it is best that both sides end up together, but Wang Shichong repelled Li Mi's invasion beautifully, and won a lot of applause for himself.

Wang Shichong and Li Mi have been fighting fiercely for more than a month, the battle between the two sides is mainly concentrated on the first line of Jindi Pass, from the beginning of the tragic tug-of-war, Li Mi's army has captured Jindi Pass several times, and has been recaptured by Wang Shichong's main general Wang Renze several times, only at this important pass, both sides have been killed and wounded nearly 100,000 people.

Li Mi has already killed the red eye, this is not only because of the food problem, but also because the families of his generals and generals are all in Luokou City, if he does not take it back, he will not be able to explain to the soldiers. At the same time, he can't explain to the people of the world, Luokou City is his Li Mi's capital, but now he has lost even the capital, what qualifications do you have to compete for the world? That's just a joke.

At this time, under the Jindi Pass, only the sound of high trumpets was heard, the sound of war drums was deafening and endless, and the pungent smell of blood permeated every inch of the battlefield.

Li Mi's army has been attacking for half a day and has invested tens of thousands of troops, but although Wang Renze's Jindi Pass in Zhenning is full of traces of war, it is still as stable as Mount Tai, Wang Renze's face is resolute, he calmly commands the defense of the army, ignoring the arrows that occasionally fly by his ears, only to see that at the foot of the city wall, many smashed and burned ladders, as well as the wreckage of the rushing car are piled up everywhere, and the stumps and limbs are all over the ground, which confirms the tragedy of this battle.

Li Mi had already given the order not to break the golden embankment and not to return, and Wang Ren had nothing to say, so he naturally stuck to the end. This battle is either your death or my life, and there is no room for mercy.

"Kill!!"

Li Mi held the long sword and roared loudly, although his voice was hoarse, he still shouted red-eyed and heartbreaking.

But the anxiety in his eyes is also very strong, it is almost dark, if you can't take the Jindi Pass, it will mean that the day's efforts have failed again, so far in the morning, he has invested ten thousand people, to conquer the Jindi Pass in turn, but no matter what, it has not been breached, the Jindi Pass guard Wang Ren is not a famous general, but in the fierce battle of the month, from the initial rush to today's calm like a mountain, the growth speed is amazing, is moving towards the famous general series.

Now his defense is extremely tight, and he is calm and decisive between movements, and he is not given the slightest chance at all.

It can be said that the existence of Wang Renze has become the biggest obstacle for Li Mi to recapture Luokou City and march into Luoyang.

"嗾~~嗾~~!"

On and off the city, the feather arrows are like locusts, with a fierce whistling sound flying endlessly in the city and under the city again, from time to time there are soldiers on both sides who fall down with arrows, and the screams come and go.

More than 30 tall ladders were set up on the city wall again, and Wang Bodang's generals went into battle shirtless, shouting with a ruthless face: "Kill me with me"

The soldiers of the Great Sui immediately bravely climbed along the ladder to the top of the city, completely unafraid of the rolling stones and feather arrows falling from above, and crawled extremely fast.

However, after the initial panic and fear, Wang Shichong's Zheng Jun's eyes were red, but as soon as Li Mijun climbed up, several soldiers immediately pounced ferociously and killed each other directly, the battlefield is the best training camp, more profound and bloody than any training.

"Give Me Death"

I saw that Wang Bodang finally rushed up, holding a shield in one hand, wielding a knife in the other, and between a slash, three or four soldiers were directly killed.

"Hugh is going to be rampant"

The wind rolled, Wang Ren, who was broken in his armor, emerged, exuding a thick chill all over his body, and slashed down with a knife, slashing heavily on the shield, after the huge sound, the terrible power suddenly made the other party be shocked back a few steps, Wang Ren did not stop, an impact, directly cut down with a knife, Wang Bodang raised his knife to block, a loud sound of the bell, even people with knives shook the city, overwhelming a siege army.

Li Mi was slightly relieved to see that Uncle Wang was fine, that was his most loyal general and his student.

And Wang Ren looked at Li Mijun who gradually climbed up from all directions, and sighed helplessly, this is a new recruit who goes to the battlefield with a little training, and some are inexperienced, the willpower is very weak, and it is easy to relax, but they can guard for nearly a day, which is not simple, he can't make more requirements for the soldiers, but he knows that after the baptism of war, these people will become the mainstay of the Zheng army, because the 50,000 elite soldiers in the city are in this more than a month, Step by step, he transformed from the recruits, and there will be 20,000 recruits arriving tomorrow, and then replace the 20,000 veterans, he knows that his uncle is asking him to help him train the army, although he is unwilling in his heart, but he can understand, because there is also a danger in Yingchuan and Shuyang, there is no danger there, and it is necessary to use elite soldiers to sit in the town.

But he also knew that not only was his side training troops at Jindi Pass, but Li Mi was also the same, but in terms of the source of troops, Li Mi, who occupied a vast area, far surpassed their Wang family's army, and if this continued, Zheng Guo's youth and strength would have to be exhausted.

"Brother! The enemy came up. The younger brothers Wang Qianshou and Wang Honglie on the side reminded in unison that Jindiguan is not only training soldiers, but also training generals, Wang Qianshou and Wang Honglie were just wrongdoers, bullying good and fearing evil, and when they arrived at Jindiguan on the first day, they were scared to cry and pee, but a month later, the two of them have become numb to the life and death of tens of thousands of people, and now they also have the fierce atmosphere of military generals.

This made Wang Renze very satisfied, because he was too tired to be alone.

"Crossbowmen, out"

"No!" Wang Honglie suddenly waved the red flag in his hand, and immediately hundreds of crossbowmen quickly rushed to the head of the city, and shot at Li Mijun who boarded it, a burst of rapid and wild shooting, such a close shot, so that Li Mijun could not dodge, even if he was a small colonel with some kung fu, he was immediately shot into a hornet's nest.

Then the crossbowmen retreated, and the soldiers quickly rushed to the head of the city, and continued to defend desperately, either by shooting arrows or throwing stones

The two armies began to scorch again, but the Zheng army was on the defensive side, and the losses were not much, while Li Mi had already lost more than 20,000 in this half a day.

"King Wei, the enemy army is well equipped, our army can't attack at all, and the morale is not as good as before." Wang Bodang ran to Li Mi with blood on his face and shouted anxiously.

Li Mi looked at the army that had retreated from the city again, clenched his fists tightly, and said sharply: "Immediately pass on my military order, as long as Puyang is attacked, everything belongs to the brothers, and they can do whatever they want!" ”

"No!!"

The easiest way to fierce morale is gold and silver treasures, and the American right position, which is what everyone wants, and after Li Mi's order was issued, Li Mi's army attacked more violently, and it was already a posture of fighting for his life.

The more brutal and bloody offensive and defensive battles began again, and the soldiers on both sides were completely fighting for their lives, and at this time, Wang Ren had already replaced the new soldiers with elite soldiers who had never moved.

When it was close to dusk, the banner of the word 'Zheng' on the Jindi Pass City was always waving in the wind, as if mocking Li Mi.

"Retreat!"

Li Mi gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat very unwillingly.

"Dangdangdang......"

Mingjin sounded, and Li Mijun retreated like a tide.

The one-day war finally came to an end.

Wang Ren also breathed a sigh of relief, and let Li Mijun collect the corpses under the city, which is also a custom, the besieging side will collect the corpses of his comrades, so as to prevent these people who have donated their lives for the country from exposing their corpses to the wilderness, and to prevent the corpses from decomposing and causing plague.

This is a matter of mutual benefit, so that neither of the enemy nor the enemy of the war will take the initiative to attack the corpse collectors.

Li Mi's Chinese army camp, Li Mi's face was extremely gloomy, not to mention that the siege failed again today, what made him even more depressed was that Xu Shiji attacked last night, and the six thousand soldiers finally came back less than a thousand, and the most important thing is that Xu Shiji himself was seriously injured, although he tried not to think about it, but everyone knew that Xu Shiji's survival probability was not high.

In the handsome tent, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and no one dared to speak at this time, Wang Bodang quietly sat in the first seat of Li Mi's first general, looking at his nose and nose, and did not express any opinion on the affairs of the army; Shan Xiongxin and other meritorious ministers of Wagangzhai all had gloomy faces, Xu Shiji was the soul of those who followed Zhai Rang, but now they don't know whether they are alive or dead, which makes everyone suppress an unspeakable anger and resentment in their hearts.

Blame whom?

complained that Li Mi was forcibly appointed, and complained that Wang Bodang did not respond effectively......

"Report!"

A junior colonel rushed in with a long voice and said to Li Mi: "King Wei, Fang Shangshu is here......

Fang Shangshu's name is Fang Xuanzao, he is Li Mi's mastermind, and he is also the brother of Fang Xuanling of the Great Sui, and it is more coincidental that both of them are officials and scholars.

"What happened?" Li Mi asked Xiang Xiaoxiao, he had an intuition in his heart, Fang Xuanzao, who was in the rear, came in such a hurry, something big must have happened.

"I don't know specifically, Peng Cheng urgently sent an urgent message, but it seems to be related to Dou Jiande, Fang Shangshu's expression is very nervous, it should be something big."

Li Mi was shocked, could it be that Dou Jiande attacked his rear? During this time, he has been paying attention to Dou Jiande, Dou Jiande's army had a rush incident, in the infighting, Xu Yuanlang was killed by Dou Jiande's righteous brother Liu Heimin, Dou Jiande cleared Xu Yuanlang's descendants of the generals, became the real leader of the Xia army, and then, and Jianghuai Du Fuwei formed an offensive and defensive alliance, if Dou Jiande attacked his rear, Du Fuwei is likely to free up his hands to interfere in the Central Plains war, if you add a Wang Shichong, he will be attacked on three sides, his situation will become dangerous.

He was worried in his heart, so he asked the generals to go back to appease the army, and he received Fang Xuanzao in his big tent.

Fang Xuanzao hurriedly came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and a personal soldier immediately reported for him, "Your Highness, Fang Shangshu is here!" ”

"Let him in!"

Fang Xuanzao is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials, and is also Li Mi's chief military advisor, participating in the decision-making of important military affairs.

He lifted the curtain and walked into the big tent, in addition to Li Mi alone, there was also Bing Yuanzhen, who was also the secretary of the household department, and he sat next to Li Mi, with an extremely serious expression.

Li Mi paced back and forth in the big tent with his hands behind his back, and from the speed of his pace, he could see that he should be very anxious in his heart.

"See His Royal Highness King Wei!" Fang Xuanzao bowed.

"No need to be polite, sir! Have a seat! Li Mi motioned for him to sit down and asked urgently, "What happened?" ”

Fang Xuanzao sat down on the other side of the big tent, facing Bing Yuanzhen from afar, the two looked at each other, but avoided them at the same time, with a trace of hostility in their eyes, this is a chronic disease of literati, where there are literati, there is a secret fight.

After Fang Xuanzao sat down, he arched his hand and said: "Back to His Royal Highness, I just got the urgent information sent by the Pengcheng County Guard, Liu Heimin led an army of 50,000 troops out of Langxi County, and Donghai County has been defeated, and there is a tendency to invade Xiapi, if Xiapi is lost, Dou Jiande will be connected with Du Fuwei's army in Zhongli County, forming a situation of two copies of our Great Wei, plus a Wang Shichong, we are enemies in three other areas except for one north. ”

Although this news was expected by Li Mi, when the news was confirmed, Li Micong felt an irrepressible panic.

Wang Shichong's treachery told him that Wang Shichong was very likely to form an alliance with Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei to deal with him, because among the various forces in the Central Plains, he has always been the leader, giving too much pressure to others, and the weak have formed an alliance to deal with the strong, which has been the case since ancient times.

Is he Li Miqiang?

It's not strong, it's not strong at all, it's completely strong outside.

Because his Wei army originated from Wagang, and Wagang is a composite of various forces, more than 400,000 troops are lined with mountains, each force has its own plans, he seems to be very strong, but in fact it is full of holes, and it is precisely because each faction has its own plan to preserve its own strength, which led to him fighting for more than a month without an inch; On the other hand, Wang Shichong, although his army is four times smaller than him, the people are united in one heart and one mind, and the more they fight, the stronger they become. If there is a loss in the rear, his army will become a mess and be broken by Wang Shichong one by one.

Anxiety and worry made Li Mi's heart confused, and he didn't know where to start.

Fang Xuanzao sighed with a stern expression, "Your Highness should have been mentally prepared for this, right?" ”

Li Mi nodded and said, "I thought about it, but my heart is very confused, and I don't know what to do, so I asked Mr. to teach me." ”

Fang Xuanzao glanced at Bing Yuanzhen and smiled slightly: "I don't know what Bing Shangshu thinks?" ”

Bing Yuanzhen smiled coldly and bowed his hand to Li Mi: "Your Highness, I think we should talk to Yang Tong. ”

After Li Mi heard this, he was stunned and wondered: "Why do you want to talk to Yang Tong?" ”

Bing Yuan Zhen said: "Judging from all indications, Yang Tong is unwilling to intervene in the Central Plains battle too early, so his main opponent now is Li Yuan in Guanzhong. Wang Shichong has been able to persist until now, completely because of Yang Tong's support in war horses, armaments and food! Yang Tong is a man of great profit, as long as we offer a higher price than Wang Shichong and make a covenant, then Yang Tong will stop supporting Wang Shichong and turn to deal with Li Yuan. ”

"Bing Shangshu, Sui and Tang have a settlement agreement, will they fight according to your arrangement?" Fang Xuanzao scoffed.

"I didn't say that it was fought in Guanzhong, the Tang army marched south, I heard that Li Gongxiao had defeated the 100,000 army of Niu Cang in Xiyang, Yang Tong, who had always been at odds with Li Yuan, would stand by and watch Li Yuan grow? We will negotiate with Yang Tong, we can provide him with transit facilities, and let the Sui army cross the border to support Zhu Cang. ”

Fang Xuanzao laughed, and the mockery in his eyes became even stronger, "Since Bing Shangshu doesn't know how the Xi clan died?" That tells you that it is the destruction of false ways. ”

Bing Yuan said angrily: "You are pedantic! ”

"That's it!"

Li Mi rubbed his swollen head, stopped their meaningless fight, and said to Fang Xuanzao very unhappily: "Now the situation is urgent, I want to hear Mr.'s strategy." ”

He also knew that Bing Yuan's real plan was not reliable at all, and Yang Tong wanted to deal with Li Yuan very simply, he only needed to send troops from Huining, Pingliang, Honghua, Yan'an, and Hedong in Bingzhou in Guanzhong, how could he be so troublesome? If Yang Tong went deep into the south to bypass his and Wang Shichong's territory alone, how stupid would Yang Dong be?

On the way to come, Fang Xuanzao had already thought of a countermeasure, he looked at Li Mi, and said slowly: "My countermeasure is actually very simple, close to reconciling with Wang Shichong, connecting the Sui Dynasty in the north, and dividing the cooperation between Sui and Zheng...... Hit Dou Jiande in the east and Du Fuwei in the south to establish a solid rear! Thus, the strategic purpose of defending Yang Dong with the Yellow River, defending the southern princes with the Yangtze River, and defending the Tang army with Xiangyang was realized. ”
