Zhao Wei saw that it was useless to continue arguing with them, so he opened his bow and shot down the Tuyuhun vanguard who rushed to the front.

Zhao Wei's subordinates saw that the main general was shooting, and they also shot with bows, and Tuyuhun's ghost sheep rode quickly towards the city to shoot back, and the two sides officially fought.

Originally, Murong Yuanzhong wanted to open the city gate under the guise of entering the city to assist in defense, but he didn't expect to be recognized before he rushed to the city gate.

The sneak attack turned into a strong attack, and after a round of assault, Tuyuhun lost hundreds of cavalry and retreated.

Shen De, who was sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, saw Tuyuhun retreating, so he led his troops to launch a round of attacks under the city, and when he was close to the range of the Wei army, Shen De ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

What kind of encirclement and partition, both sides actually want each other to be half-crippled by the Wei army, and then kill two birds with one stone.

In this situation, the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Luoyang City actually blocked the attack of two strong enemies for a month. However, the grain and rice in Luoyang City have been exhausted, and all the remaining grain has been collected and supplied to the soldiers defending the city, and the people can only catch voles and sparrows to dig grass roots to satisfy their hunger. Zhu Yaoshi also only drank gruel and took pills, and went to the city wall every three days to personally draw a bow and shoot the enemy.

The Tuyuhun army outside the city also began to get tired of it, and according to the messenger who stayed in Chang'an, the army of the Green Banner Khanate had taken Shuofang City, and the vanguard had approached Jinyang.

Shen De's side also lost interest in Luoyang, Shen De first proposed to give up attacking Luoyang and go east to attack Jianghuai, according to intelligence shows that the main force of the Wei army was led by Wang Tiezhu to return to Luoyang, and the rest of the men and horses were guarding against the Southern Navy, at this time, if the Jianghuai region could be conquered in one fell swoop, the destruction of Wei would be just around the corner.

Cui Keyuan felt that he had to consult Cui Ju to change the combat goal without authorization, and politely rejected Shen De's proposal.

Cui Keyuan followed Shen De to capture Luoyang, and Cui Kewen was not reconciled, so he took the initiative to ask Cui Ju for an errand to intercept and kill the Wei army's reinforcements.

In order to ensure that he could get the merits, Cui Kewen also gave gifts to Cui Ju's old subordinates, in exchange for the assistance of Huang Chongdao and Yu Yaoshan.

Huang Chongdao is Cui Ju's strategist, and now he is an official who worships the Five Soldiers, and Yu Yaoshan is a military general second only to Shen De, who is good at using a mountain-opening axe and can open bows left and right.

Huang Chongdao also knew that Wang Tiezhu had the courage of ten thousand people, so he set up ten ambushes, consumed Wang Tiezhu's troops in turn, and finally surrounded Wang Tiezhu.

The generals of the Ten Roads who were ordered to ambush were all left in Xiangyang, so they were determined to fight Wang Tiezhu with the heart of death.

The first to arrive was the 3,000 men and horses led by Yang Mi, who were caught off guard, and Yang Mi fled under the desperate escort of the sergeant.

The generals who were ambushed on the first road saw that the Wei army was so vulnerable and eager to make meritorious contributions, so they sent people to invite the second road to pursue the Wei army without authorization, wanting to annihilate the generals.

This time he met Wang Tiezhu, who came to meet Yang Mi, Wang Tiezhu rode alone and danced with a double hammer to kill, the first two generals were hammered to the ground, and the men and horses of both roads also broke and fled back.

The two groups of men and horses who fled back gathered in the camp of the third road ambush, and the general Li Yuan of this road judged the situation, led the three roads to retreat twenty miles to the high ground to set up an ambush again, and sent people to report back to the follow-ups.

Li Yuan didn't plan to fight hard with the Wei army, he planned to attack the Wei army and then continue to retreat, leaving this hard bone for the people behind to gnaw, after all, Wang Tiezhu's double hammer Their heavenly spirit cover could not bear it.

After Wang Tiezhu rescued Yang Mi, Yang Mi thanked him for his kindness, Wang Tiezhu helped him up and said with a smile, "Xianggong knows today that it is not easy to fight, and there must be ambushes in front of the enemy. ”

Yang Mi suffered a loss and didn't dare to be strong again, so he had to thank him again and again, Wang Tiezhu looked at the sky and decided to start overnight.

Everyone wondered why they didn't trim and gather the collapsed

Sergeant, Wang Tiezhu pointed to the official and said, "The enemy army also thinks that our army will be repaired tonight, so it will not be overly guarded, our army will rush at night, do not use torches, and even if it encounters an ambush, it can rush over." The enemy is in the dark, and we are also in the dark, and everyone is led by ropes, and people are tied to horses. Get ready, and in an hour you'll be on your way west! ”

With Wang Tiezhu in the lead, the soldiers are fearless, the hardest bones are smashed by him, and no matter how many enemies there are, he can rush out of a way out. The most important thing is that Wang Tiezhu never abandoned his soldiers, even if he almost died a few times.

Wang Tiezhu risked his life to lead the troops, and the soldiers were willing to risk their lives to protect him.

Fortunately, Li Yuan retreated twenty miles, so he did not become the third general to die under Wang Tiezhu's bronze hammer. The place where the ambush soldiers were originally set up was a relatively flat place, and it was difficult to escape once they encountered Wang Tiezhu in the dark.

When Wang Tiezhu rushed to the valley where Li Yuan had set up an ambush, because it was dark, Wang Tiezhu's men and horses had run half over, and the ambush soldiers realized that something was wrong.

Li Yuan expected that Wang Tiezhu would march overnight, but he didn't expect that Wang Tiezhu's army would not light torches. In order to stop the Wei army, Li Yuan's ambush soldiers had to light a bonfire and throw it into the valley.

The valley suddenly burst into flames, illuminating the Wei army in the valley. Immediately afterwards, a rain of arrows poured down from the boulders, and the Wei troops who were passing through the valley were smashed by arrows, killing and wounding countless people.

Yang Mi was also knocked off the horse and lay on the ground, shouting: "Marshal Wang, save me!" ”

Wang Tiezhu, who had already left the valley, looked back and saw the fire in the valley, and heard the wailing sound endlessly, so he immediately stopped his horse and asked the deputy general to take everyone up the mountain to kill the ambush soldiers, and he took dozens of people to rush back to the valley to save people.

The ambush soldiers above the valley saw a group of men and horses coming through the exit in the light of the fire, led by wielding twin hammers to bounce away all the stones and arrows.

"Wang Tiezhu! Wang Tiezhu! Shoot him! Shoot him! ”

"Hurry up and release the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

Li Yuan and several other lieutenants shouted hysterically, and suddenly countless arrows rushed towards Wang Tiezhu.

Wang Tiezhu still rounded the double hammer, only to hear the continuous impact of the click, and most of the arrows were still bounced off.

"Lord Yang, don't panic, Wang Tiezhu will take you out!" As Wang Tiezhu spoke, he threw out a copper hammer and smashed out the fire beside Yang Mi.

By the time Yang Mi reacted, Wang Tiezhu had already lifted him across his horse with one hand.

"Living brothers, don't panic, go out close to the valley rock roots!" Wang Tiezhu simply stopped and commanded the still alive Wei army out of the valley.

At this time, the ambush arrows had been exhausted, and the stones were almost used, and Li Yuan had a glimpse of the sparse soldiers around Wang Tiezhu, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Wang Tiezhu unhurriedly took the remnants of the saved out of the valley, but the ambush soldiers above were unwilling, and several captains were ready to lead people down the mountain.

Li Yuan asked the spies, "How many people are there in the Wei army?" ”

"Back to General Li, 5,000 men"

Li Yuan immediately ordered, "Withdraw quickly!" The main force of the Wei army is coming to us! ”

Li Yuan rushed to another hill with his own soldiers, and at this time, the Wei army had already gone up the mountain, shouting and killing.

The ambush soldiers never expected that the Wei army would touch the mountain, and they immediately scattered and fled. The Wei army pursued for a while and then stopped, and only after making sure that there were no more ambushes did they go to join Wang Tiezhu.

Yang Mi's injuries were not serious, and Wang Tiezhu sent someone to find a donkey cart to send him to a nearby city for treatment.

They had already encountered three enemy ambushes, and the lieutenants felt that there would be at most one or two enemy forces in the future, so they relaxed.

Wang Tiezhu also felt that as long as he could break through the obstacles and open up the road to Luoyang with one blow, he gathered his men and horses to prepare to continue the march.

Tang Sixin, the military advisor who had not spoken, came out and poured cold water, "These three people are just here to lure our army, whether they are real defeat or fake defeat, they have consumed our army, our army has 5,000 people killed and wounded, about 500 wounded, this is one of them." If there are endless ambushes along the way, our army will inevitably be exhausted, morale will be frustrated, and it is unknown whether it can reach Luoyang at that time. ”

Hearing Tang Sixin's words, Wang Tiezhu touched his head, "Could it be that the enemy army is ambushed from all sides?" ”

"Quite possibly! If our army is blocked in any way, the rest of the enemy forces will swarm in, and this deployment can be described as a last resort! Tang Sixin couldn't help but admire the deployment of the enemy army

"Does the military advisor have a good plan to break the enemy? We can't stop fighting, the capital is still looking forward to our rescue! Wang Tiezhu was a little anxious, if he arrived in Luoyang a few days late, it was very likely that Luoyang would fall.

"I have a solution, but I need Marshal Wang to take risks!" Tang Sixin stared at Wang Tiezhu, he was a little hesitant about this idea

"It's better to have a way than not to have it! The military advisor just said, don't sell the guanzi! Venture! Which battle of ours is not an adventure? I've taken the risk! Wang Tiezhu replied very firmly

"Since Marshal Wang dares to take risks, then I will say it. Marshal Wang can lead a team of 50 people to go out day and night, specially pick the enemy generals, set fire to the camp, disrupt the enemy's position, and the commander of the iron cavalry battalion, Wan Changguo, leads a hundred cavalry along the road to charge in the direction of Luoyang. I led the army to slow down and make a big fanfare, and to make a big noise, attracting the scouts and tricks of the enemy army! ”

"If a hundred cavalry encounters a few ambushes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to rush to Luoyang!"

"The enemy set up an ambush in order to attack the main force of our army, and he will not care about a hundred-man cavalry team, by the way, in addition to the copper hammer, Marshal Wang has other weapons that can be used?"

"Just bring two knives, I understand what the military advisor means, it's very inconvenient to sneak attack with two copper hammers, and I also found out that the enemy only recognizes these two copper hammers and doesn't recognize people!"

"Tang also happened to plan the plan, the powerful soldiers in the army can hold the bronze hammer of Marshal Wang, but they can wear the armor of Marshal Wang and hold the copper hammer to attract the enemy in the Chinese army. This time the certainty of breaking the enemy is a little more! ”

What happened next was just as Tang Sixin expected, Wang Tiezhu attacked and killed dozens of enemy generals and captains in a row, breaking the enemy's four-way ambush from the fourth to the seventh road.

Under the leadership of Li Yuan, the defeated soldiers fled back to the eighth ambush place, this Li Yuan was naturally vigilant, and witnessed Wang Tiezhu's courage in the first battle in the valley, and slept during the day and hid in the stable at night every day.

The previous defeat reports were frequent, although Huang Chongdao was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect to lose so quickly.

If you can't fight a turnaround battle here at the eighth layer ambush, the two ambushes behind you are useless.

Huang Chongdao suggested to Cui Kewen that he should gather the first few routes to defeat the army, stop ambushing, and directly dig long trenches on the spot to prevent horses from blocking the main roads and small roads, and vow to trap Wang Tiezhu here.

Cui Kewen didn't dare to be careless, and adopted it all, not only gathering the first seven roads, but also mobilizing the back two roads as reinforcements, and assaulting the Wei army if necessary.
