The 100,000 infantry of the Wei army also followed behind the cavalry, killing through the formation of the Zhou army, Cheng Yanjin saw that he couldn't resist, so he had to shout: "The Wei army is fierce, brothers let's withdraw to Beibi Town for the time being!" ”

With that, he took the lead and fled towards the north town behind. On the periphery of Beibi Town, the Zhou army had dug a deep ditch and built many fortifications. It was very difficult for the Wei cavalry to break through these defenses and rush into the town, and they would pay heavy casualties.

And Li Mi also knew that unless he sent people to transport a large number of siege equipment to attack Beibi Town like a city, it would be possible to defeat it. Now, he has not made preparations for the siege of the city, so he can only give up the plan to enter Beibi Town.

At this time, seeing the Zhou army fleeing in such an embarrassment, bursts of laughter suddenly erupted in the Wei army's array.

Bing Yuanzhen still wanted to lead his troops to chase after him, but was stopped by Li Mi, who arrived later, and said: "Don't chase the poor, the Zhou army is cunning, and there are so many ditches and traps around Beibi Town, if you want to conquer it, I am afraid it will have to be fought as a siege battle...... Let's talk about it tomorrow. He arrived before us and should have a better understanding of Zhou's situation. ”

Bing Yuanzhen thought about it for a while, and Fang retracted the reins of his war horse.

Li Mi glanced at the Wei army camp in front of him, and said with a happy face: "Yuan Zhen, now that the Zhou army has been defeated, let's go to the camp first, ask Wang Bodang about the current situation!" He arrived here first, and fought with the Zhou army for a few more days, so he should have some knowledge of the situation of the Zhou army. ”

So, he walked into the camp with Bing Yuanzhen, and saw more than a dozen old and frail soldiers wearing Wei army armor standing at the gate of the camp, looking listless.

Li Mi was very annoyed, when he was attacking Cheng Biting Jin before, this Wang Bo didn't see the opportunity to act, and it was just a matter of sending troops to attack, and now there were only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people at the door to guard the door, which was nothing in vain. Isn't he afraid of the enemy attacking the camp?

This guy has lived up to the weight and expectations he expects from him. Li Mi thought secretly in his heart.

"What about Wang Bodang? Is he in the camp? Li Mi asked with a displeased expression.

At this time, when the Wei soldiers saw Li Mi, they immediately burst into tears and said, "King Wei, you have come just in time!" General Wang was seriously injured and couldn't see it! ”

"Ahh Uncle Wang, when he was seriously injured? Still going to die? When Li Mi heard this, he suddenly felt like five thunderbolts, his eyes were dark, his head was dizzy, and he almost wanted to fall off the horse.

Wang Bodang has always been loyal to himself, especially when he fought with Zhai Rang, he was not only the first to express his support for himself, but also lobbied many people to betray Zhai Rang and take refuge in himself. It can be said that he has made great contributions to his smooth entry into the position of the lord of the Wagang Army.

Such a confidant is about to die, how can this not make Li Mi sad?

"King Wei, please mourn!" Bing Yuanzhen hurriedly supported him and said.

"Where is Wang Bodang? The king wants to see him at once! Li Mi shouted.

The Wei soldiers pointed to the largest tent in the camp and said, "Now all the officers in our army are there, ready to send General Wang on his last ......."

When Li Mi heard this, he immediately whipped his whip, slammed the war horse under his seat, and galloped forward.

Bing Yuanzhen, Fan Chao and other generals and their subordinate cavalry and infantry also hurriedly followed......

After passing through several rows of tents, Li Mi felt that something was not quite right. Although Wang Bodang was seriously injured and dying. Therefore, all the generals in the army gathered in the big tent, and it is reasonable to wait for the main general.

But if the officers are gone, they won't even be the soldiers, right? Why did all the tents pass by in front of him be empty, and as soon as he came, except for a few old, weak, sick and disabled people who saw him at the door, half of Wang Bodang's soldiers did not see it. There was a thick black liquid on the ground, and I don't know what it was.

Just when he was suspicious, Bing Yuanzhen reminded: "King Wei, we have arrived in front of the big tent. ”

Li Mi frowned, and after thinking for a while, he didn't go in, but shouted to the two pro-soldiers: "You go in first to see what's going on inside!" ”

The two pro-soldiers were slightly stunned, secretly thinking that King Wei had just heard the news that Wang Bodang was seriously injured and about to die, wasn't he anxious and shocked? Why don't you get to the door now? But they were puzzled, and it was impossible to question and object, so they had to obey Li Mi's order, dismount and walk in.

But after they entered, they ran out in a panic for only a moment, and shouted at Li Mi: "King Wei, we have been fooled, there is no one inside, but there is a pile of black clay pots burning with sparks......"

"Ahh Oops! We've been tricked! Everybody get out! Li Mi is not as good as those personal soldiers, he immediately reacted, the crockpot burning with sparks is a powerful fire-starter, and the black liquid on the ground is only afraid that it is the crude oil used by the Zhou army when it fought against the Tang army in Hedong.

But even if he reacted, it was too late.

At that moment, he heard a deafening shout from all directions.

A large number of archers of the Zhou army suddenly appeared outside the camp tent, and then only the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" archery was heard, and rockets came in from outside the fence and shot on the roofs of the tents of those tents, as well as the ground coated with crude oil, and the camp suddenly burst into flames.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

There was a violent explosion in those camp tents, and the clay pots that were piled up together, after ignition, actually exploded, blowing up the Wei troops who entered the camp.

Li Mi was lucky, because he reacted in time, the horse escaped along the small part of the fire, and several fragments of the crockpot flew over, cutting off Fan Chao's head, and Bing Yuanzhen's arm was scratched, but he escaped and was not injured.

At this moment, Wang Bodang's original camp has become a sea of fire, and the cries and screams resounded in the sky.

Most of the 10,000 iron cavalry and 50,000 infantry who had already entered the camp were killed in the fire...... Only a small number escaped with their lives because they were close to the camp gate.

When Li Mi, Bing Yuanzhen and more than 10,000 surviving soldiers fled to the gate, they saw that the dozens of Wei soldiers who had lied about the military situation had disappeared. The tens of thousands of troops led by Xu Shiji, who had not yet had time to enter the camp, were looking at the Zhou army surrounded from all sides in panic.

After the Wei army converged, Li Mi looked intently and saw that there were at least about 100,000 Zhou troops surrounding him, not only Cheng Yanjin's 50,000 infantry and Luo Shixin's 20,000 horses, but also a cavalry team of 10,000 people, as well as an unknown number of infantry.

These Zhou troops were all dressed in black armor and well-armoured, with catapults, crossbows, pikemen, shield soldiers, heavy cavalry, and so on. It seems that the trap has been prepared for a long time, waiting for himself to drill into it.

"Alas, I can't imagine that God will kill me!" Seeing this, Li Mi knew that he had lost this battle. Although he still had more than 50,000 infantry in his hands, his morale was lost, and under the siege of the enemy's superior forces, there were 10,000 cavalry to assist the attack, and it was almost impossible to defeat the enemy.

So he threw his spear on the ground, drew his saber, and tried to kill himself by wiping his neck.

Xu Shiji saw it clearly, and hurriedly grabbed him and said, "King Wei, don't be discouraged!" Where there is life, there is hope! ”

Li Mi said miserably: "Once this battle is lost, my main force will be lost, not to mention that I will capture Jindi Pass, and return to Xingyang, Liyang, and Huiluo, I am afraid that it will be good to escape safely." Hundreds of thousands of elite divisions were destroyed in my hands, what face did they have to fight for domination in the world? It's better to be dead and clean! ”

Xu Shiji hurriedly said: "Looking at the situation around here, General Wang should have escaped before we arrived. He had 50,000 soldiers under his command, and even if he lost some of them, he must have at least 20,000 more. And in the Tiger Prison Pass, General Zhang Tongren and Chen Zhiluo still have 10,000 horses. Even if our army suffered some heavy losses this time, it did not reach the point of exhaustion. Previously, under the encirclement and suppression of Zhang Xutuo, our Wagang army was also defeated many times and was forced to hide in the mountains, but in the end it still made a comeback and achieved such great success. King Wei, I believe you will be able to make a comeback! ”

When Li Mi heard this, his eyes flickered. He didn't want to give up his dream of dominating the world. Although he was defeated now, when he followed Yang Xuangan to rebel, was he also defeated badly? In the end, I didn't see the fall of the Great Sui.

If he hides in the mountains this time, he hides. Yu Ming has lost his opponent and will inevitably clash with Du Fuwei in the south and Li Yuan in the west. It is difficult to say whether even his ally Wang Shichong will continue to form an alliance with him after there is no threat of his own. And after the Central Plains is in chaos again, he may not have a chance to raise troops again.

"Alas! I can't live up to my brother's trust in me! Listening to the sound of "Qiang", Li Mi returned the saber into the scabbard. If you can live well, who would want to choose death. Now that his will to die is gone, he has a desire for life.

"Send someone to inform Zhang Tongren of Tiger Prison Pass, tell him to stop guarding and lead the army back to Wagangzhai! At the same time, he sent someone to inquire about Wang Bodang's location and informed him to return to Wagang Mountain quickly! After thinking for a while, Li Mi continued: "Now I don't know if Xingyang has been captured, if not, I will ask them to take the families of our generals to Wagang Mountain." The terrain there is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The village has prepared food that can feed 200,000 people for a year, which can keep our army on for a long time. ”

"Obey the orders of King Wei!" Xu Shiji and Bing Yuanzhen responded in unison. Seeing that Li Mi had regained his composure and sanity, they were also very happy.

After the decision, he led the remnants of the remnants of the horses to rush out together, although the number of the Zhou army was more than the Wei army, but it was impossible to be airtight.

Li Mi, Xu Shiji, and Bing Yuanzhen were all generals who had fought for a long time, and they soon discovered the weak links in the Zhou army's formation, so they broke through from here.

After paying a heavy price, they finally broke out of the encirclement, broke a blood, and went straight to their starting place, Wagangzhai.
