Chapter 440: Li Mi's Death
、、、、、、、、、、
The soldiers of Zhou climbed the ladder with a flying stride, and then "swished, swished, swished", and climbed straight to the city wall with their hands and feet very neatly.
And Yu Ming was wearing a white helmet and white armor, holding the sun-shooting bow that pulled the wind, and fired arrows under the wall. He grasped four sharp arrows with his five fingers each time, skillfully placed the bowstring, and then "swished, swished, swished, swished" towards the Wei officers on the wall.
Every time he released an arrow, four Wei officers on the wall of the wall would be hit by the arrow, and then fell down with a scream.
The Wei army on the wall of the wall couldn't help but be frightened, especially those officers, seeing that the enemy commander was so brave, they didn't dare to show their heads at all.
And the Wei soldiers defending the city, lost the command of the officer, and suddenly the dragons were gone, like headless ants, at a loss.
Their weapons and equipment, the quality of their soldiers, and their morale were already much worse than those of the Zhou army, and after losing their command, they would be even more unable to resist the attack of the Zhou army.
However, with a pillar of incense, Luo Cheng took the lead and was the first to rush to the city.
As soon as he turned over and went to the city, seven Wei soldiers surrounded him, beckoning to him with sharp blades in hand.
Luo Cheng just sneered, a cold light flashed in his starry eyes, and the spear in his hand was as fast as the wind, stabbing seven times like lightning and thunder.
Hearing the screams of "oops, ouch" and so on, the seven enemies who surrounded each of them were shot in the throat, and blood gushed out of their necks, and they immediately fell to the ground and died.
Luo Cheng's martial arts were originally very high, and after he fell in love with Yu Yuqing, he was even more energetic to make great achievements, so that he could be the brother-in-law of King Zhou, so as not to let others gossip, saying that he relied on women to mix in the army.
His marksmanship and internal strength have been able to send and receive freely, and every shot just pierces the enemy's throat, and there is not much strength, and there is not a lot of strength, which happens to be fatal. This quasi-head and grasp of strength are already unique among the masters in the world, and in terms of martial arts alone, Luo Cheng has surpassed his father Luo Yi.
The soldiers of the Zhou army who accompanied the charge saw that their main general was so brave, and there was the king of Zhou under the wall to supervise the battle, and they were also greatly inspired.
When the soldiers of the Zhou army climbed the wall, they all shouted and killed the enemy, the blades in their hands flew up and down, and the wall immediately swords and swords, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the soldiers of the Wei army cried and called their mothers.
After only half an hour of fighting, these 1,000 Wei defenders, who were mainly old and weak, completely collapsed.
They were killed by the wolf-like Zhou officers and soldiers, and they died all over the field. Most of them were killed on the spot, while some of the cowards either surrendered or fled to the city.
Luo Cheng soon led people to open the gate of the village and welcomed Yuming's main army into Wagang Village.
He immediately lit the fireworks and signaled that Wagangzhai had been captured. Then he began to clear the remnants of the enemy, seal the treasury in the walled city, and accept the surrender of the soldiers and civilians in the city.
And Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin and others, who were still at the mouth of the valley, saw the signal sent by the front and knew that the overall situation had been decided, so they ordered their soldiers to shout loudly, saying that Wagangzhai had been broken and the Wei army was annihilated, and only by coming out to surrender could there be a glimmer of life.
At this time, the Wei soldiers who had been burned and smoked, made dizzy, and demoralized, looked back in the direction of Wagang Village, only to see that the smoke was billowing in the village, the flames were soaring to the sky, and the sound of shouting and killing was faintly heard, and their morale was suddenly discharged, and they had no intention of fighting.
Everyone thought in their hearts: Wagangzhai has been breached, can this battle still be fought? I'm afraid that Mi Gong will also be killed or captured.
As a result, the Wei army no longer listened to the command of Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji, and the forest was really unbearable, so they ran out of the valley one after another, expressing their willingness to surrender to the Zhou army.
Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji were so angry that they scolded their mothers, and the two waved their swords and killed many Wei soldiers who fled and surrendered, but to no avail, but instead aroused the ferocity of Wei officers and soldiers.
The few remaining Wei generals had already made up their minds to surrender to Yuming, but they felt a little embarrassed to surrender empty-handed. They looked at Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji, who were holding bloody swords and shouting, asking the Wei army to hold on, and a trace of fierce light flashed in their eyes.
So, they made eye contact with each other, and then they worked together, captured the two, and then tied them up as a gift of surrender to the Zhou army. The 20,000 Wei troops in the valley either died or surrendered, and the whole army was destroyed.
In several other passes and villages around Wagangzhai, they were also self-defeating in a short period of time, and the remaining Wei army and Wagangshan mountain people surrendered one after another, and they died, which can be regarded as a collapse of the whole line.
Li Mi, who was still in Wagang Village, saw that the general trend had gone, and he was powerless to return to the sky, knowing that he would definitely not be better if he was caught. Yuming may be able to accept the generals and soldiers in the Wagang Army, but a leader like him will never let go. Even if you don't kill yourself on the spot, you will imprison yourself, and then you will get a "sick death" every other day.
Therefore, Li Mi looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but say to himself: "I didn't expect that Li Mou had fought in the Central Plains for nearly ten years, and he saw that the hegemony was just beginning, but he looked down on Yuming's smallness, so that he failed to ...... it."
With that, he raised his torch, lit the flammable object in the hall, and set it on fire. Then with a "bang", he pulled out his saber and wiped his neck to commit suicide.
After Yuming entered the city, he wanted to enter the Juyi Hall of Wagang Village to have a look, but found that a fire was burning at the back of the village, and thick smoke was billowing out.
He frowned, wondering if his own subordinates were setting fire to the city? After finding out who such soldiers do not abide by military discipline, they have to be punished properly to strictly enforce military discipline.
Just when Yu Ming wanted to send someone to put out the fire, he saw Niu Jinda sweating profusely and rushed over.
Then he hurriedly bowed to him and saluted: "King Zhou, the last general is a step late, Li Mi saw that Wagangzhai had been broken and the general trend had gone, so he set a big fire and burned the Juyi Hall, **** and died!" ”
"Ahh Li Mi actually committed suicide? After Yu Ming heard this, he was also slightly shocked in his heart, secretly thinking that this was very different from the cause of Li Mi's death in history.
After thinking for a while, he hurriedly asked, "Have Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji ever been caught?" ”
Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji didn't see it, and it was estimated that they should be commanding the battle in the valley in front. I don't know if General Cheng and General Qin are now exterminating the Wei army there? Niu Jinda's eyes flashed.
Yu Ming frowned, and was about to send someone to take a look at the situation in the Qianshan Valley, but suddenly heard a hearty shout from behind him: "His Royal Highness King Zhou, my old Cheng and Brother Shubao can catch Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji this time!" You have to reward me well! ”
He and Niu Jinda looked back, only to see Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong walking over with a smile on their faces.
Cheng Yanjin was holding a middle-aged soldier with a delicate face, while Qin Qiong was holding a middle-aged military general wearing Wei army armor who was constantly struggling. It seems that these two captives are Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji.
"What? Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji, you actually caught them? That should be rewarded! After hearing this, Yu Ming was also overjoyed.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he snorted coldly and said, "Hmph! If it weren't for the rebellion of our subordinates, I, Xu Shiji, would not have fallen into the hands of you, a smuggler! ”
Cheng Yanjin used to sell illicit salt between Shandong and Henan for a living, until he met Zhang Xutuo and changed his ways. Hearing Xu Shiji reveal his scars, he couldn't help but be furious.
When he was about to be furious, Yuming raised his hand to signal him not to be angry for the time being.
"It turns out that you are the famous Wagang Army military advisor Xu Shiji?" Yu Ming smiled slightly.
"Humph! Now that Xu has fallen into your hands, if you want to kill or chop, listen to it! Xu Shiji said very hardly.
"What about Uncle Wang? Are you planning to surrender to my big Zhou? Yu Ming didn't answer him, but looked at Wang Bodang first.
Wang Bodang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Yuming to want to surrender himself.
After thinking for a moment, Fang asked, "Where is Mi Gong now?" ”
"Li Mi? This guy has already committed suicide! Cheng Yanjin blurted out with a big grin.
Yu Ming knew it was going to be bad when he heard it, but it was too late for him to stop Cheng Biting Jin.
At this time, Uncle Wang puffed up his chest and said in a deep voice: "If Mi Gong is still alive, he plans to descend to Zhou, and a certain family may not be able to return to King Zhou with him." But now that Mi Gong has gone immortal, Wang doesn't plan to live alone! The secret prince has the grace of knowing me, the righteousness of a friend, and the love of brotherhood to my king...... I only listen to the secret prince! Now that Mi Gong is no longer alive, Wang has nothing else to ask for but to ask King Zhou to give me a death! ”
Everyone was surprised at the moment, but they didn't expect Wang Bodang to be such a loyal person.
Yuming originally thought that it would be easier to persuade Wang Bodang than Xu Shiji. Therefore, he wanted to surrender him first, and then he would persuade Xu Shiji to surrender. Unexpectedly, Wang Bodang would put on such a generous attitude of dying as soon as he came, so that his surrender plan was completely frustrated.
After a while, he said with a look of approval in his eyes: "I didn't expect that Li Mi, a traitorous male, would have such a loyal general. This king is kind of blind...... Well, you can go in peace! This king will be kind to your family and raise your children well! ”
Wang Bodang solemnly kowtowed to him, thanked him, and then followed the executioner out of the camp gate......
Yu Ming sighed lightly, thinking that his surrender plan seemed to be going bankrupt. He was no longer hopeful, and asked Xu Shiji symbolically: "Xu Shiji, my Da Zhou is now the time to employ people, I wonder if you are willing to help me dominate the world?" Create a hegemony! ”
Xu Shiji did not answer this question, but asked rhetorically: "King Zhou, if you win the world, what kind of strategy will you adopt to govern it?" ”
