Chapter 645 Prologue

The people of the market, who can go to Shen Qingnu's step, naturally have their advantages.

He knew that he had nothing to do with Niu Jinda and others before, and now that he had taken the handle of others, he would definitely not be welcomed, and if he went around in circles, maybe the irascible guy on the other side would be able to jump up and give him a knife.

So get straight to the point and get straight to the point...... We don't want to stay here anymore, if you have a way, let's do it together, if it doesn't work, everything is not mentioned, if it is done, we will take your lead in the future.

As for why this person also came to make waves, it was not to join in the fun, nor to see how pleasing Niu Jinda was, or Li Po's reputation convinced him.

In fact, it is similar to Niu Jinda, the building will fall, and smart people will have a small abacus as long as they have the opportunity, and the human heart is easy to disperse and difficult to collect.

Wang Shichong's subordinates have complicated backgrounds, this leader is not easy to be, and Wang Shichong's talent and family background are not satisfactory, put it in the Chengping season, give him the position of the head of a county, I am afraid it is difficult to be competent, let alone the position of the emperor.

Therefore, it is common sense to go to the step where everyone is rebellious today, and it is strange if they are united and show the momentum of the world.

Although Niu Jinda doesn't look down on Luoyang scoundrels like Shen Qingnu, Shen Qingnu's reputation is still guaranteed, and at this time, his reputation plays a role.

For example, Wang Shichong has no credibility at all, and only the identity of the emperor and cruel methods to maintain his authority are maintained, so Niu Jinda didn't listen to a word of Wang Shichong's words.

And what Shen Qingnu, whose identity is hugely different, Niu Jinda is willing to weigh it in his heart, of course, when it comes to the lives of himself and so many subordinates, Niu Jinda naturally will not put the bet on a guy who has no friendship.

After Shen Qingnu left, Niu Jinda immediately ordered people to step up the construction of the camp, and immediately entered a tense state of alert, and at the same time sent people to constantly ask Wang Renze for food, grass, ordnance and other things.

He turned around in the barracks, called the patrol camp, but he was actually avoiding Wang Renze's military orders, at this time, no matter whether Wang Renze's people could find him or not, he would not go to the Chinese army to meet Wang Renze.

In the evening, Shen Qingnu's people kept spreading the news to Niu Jinda, and when it came to being well-informed, the beggar army who was good at digging doors and stealing holes was much stronger than Niu Jinda's side.

Wang Ren guarded Liu Anshi at the Fengling ferry with his henchmen, and did not allow others to get close to it again, looking like the pontoon bridge was about to be demolished if something was wrong.

After dark, some scouts were sent out to swim across the Yellow River to investigate movements on the other side, and at the same time, they had to classify the ordnance and send it to the army.

At this time, Wang Shichong's military order also arrived on the shore, and Wang Ren was ordered to guard the Fengling ferry and not move without an order.

Well, Wang Ren did a lot of things, very busy, and at the same time, like other Henan generals, he clung to grain and grass to suppress others.

Things are so boring, the hearts of the people in the army have long been fluctuating, and some people are still trying all kinds of hard work, wanting to succeed in a battle, and suppress all the noise and trouble with a victory.

Drink to quench your thirst, but you have to drink ......

This is especially true of Wang Ren, who is a member of the Wang family, and the biggest vested interests will also be trapped by interests.

In other words, the crisis is in front of him, and Wang Ren will not be unaware, but for him there is no other choice but to move forward.

It's a pity that the talents of the Wang family are not as good as Li Yuan's relatives, Wang Ren is nervously watching the other side, and he is also paying attention to the battle in the direction of Tongguan at any time, and he is also vigilant against the generals under his command.

But there are so many things to do, and under the distraction, the vigilance is obviously not enough, and I am not aware of the danger from my surroundings at all.

The banks of the Yellow River were quiet, and no matter how much thought people on both sides of the river had, in the end it was actually the outcome of the battle of Tongguan.

And in this year, there will be no war like the Tongguan war, attracting the attention of the princes of the world, Dou Jiande stepped up the offensive against Youzhou at this time, and wanted to end the army as soon as possible to return to the south.

Du Fuwei and Xiao Mian, who were stationed in Jianghuai, were all ready to move, Li Liang in the northwest was still silent, but Liang Shidu had stopped his offensive on Lingzhou and turned his head to stare at Qu Tutong.

It can be said that in the fourth year of Li Tang Wude, in June and July, the princes of the world were ready to get a piece of the pie.

The collision between Li Yuan and Wang Shichong, who occupy the east and west capitals and have the strongest strength, has touched the hearts of countless people, and regardless of victory or defeat, it is the consensus of everyone that the northern pattern will inevitably undergo drastic changes.

The so-called building near the water gets the moon first, and Li Poxian, who is the closest, tasted the sweetness first, and happily rushed on the bank of the Yellow River, waiting for a bigger pie to fall from the sky.

And Wang Shichong, who has almost become the biggest fat sheep today, is still deploying troops, preparing to capture Tongguan in one fell swoop and create glory again.

Three days later, the battle at Tongguan finally began.

In these three days, Wang Shichong exhausted all means, and finally suppressed all the voices in the army, forced Li Mi's old troops to pick up swords and guns, and began to carefully look at the Tongguan Pass standing in front of him.

Needless to say, there are not many places in the world that can compare with it, and the defenders are in full array, and there is no shortage of troops, food and grass shortages, or internal response, etc., it is undoubtedly very stupid to storm Tongguan.

Strictly speaking, the pass is much more difficult to attack than the city.

Obviously, Wang Shichong, who relied on the fortified city of Luoyang to kill Li Mi, did not learn any lessons from Li Mi, and he was repeating Li Mi's mistake and attacking the strong fortress with a strong army......

In fact, from the moment Wang Shichong gathered troops to the west, it almost determined the tone of this battle, a war of attrition with flesh and blood.

The early morning of June, warm and humid, just up and down Tongguan, the icy murderous aura occupied this side of the world, repelling everything pleasant.

Li Jiancheng put on his helmet and armor, and everyone surrounded him and stood on the gate, at this time, Li Jiancheng finally did not have to face so many choices, and the breath of the commander of the first army gradually became stronger.

Looking at the dense army under the pass, Li Jiancheng did not have a trace of timidity, listened to the words of his subordinates, and smiled at everyone for a while: "These many people and horses are really not small, and the king thief also has some means." ”

Prince Zhan Shi Li Gang said: "Zheng Jun has different backgrounds, it takes three days to be able to attack the city with the whole army, Wang Shichong is indeed not to be underestimated, when everyone is about to fight, you still need to be careful...... His Royal Highness's daughter's body, there is no need to risk the arrows and stones, everyone should be brave, and His Royal Highness still goes back to sit in the Chinese army. ”

When everyone heard this, they persuaded each other, lest His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stay in the city and guard the pass with the soldiers.

Li Jiancheng sighed in his heart, and said secretly, King Qin can lead the army to break through the formation, what a majesty, when he comes to me, how did he become like this?

Of course, this is just a muttering in his heart, in fact, he doesn't need to be persuaded by everyone to say anything, why doesn't he understand, as a prince, tied to Sheji, and King Qin is naturally different, if you want to do it, not to mention how dangerous it is, I'm afraid that the people around him will not agree.

So he followed the advice, and as a few days ago, he only showed his face at the gate, and then he turned back to the Chinese army surrounded by everyone.

And in the army under Guanxia, Wang Shichong did not have the slightest idea of risking arrows and stones to lead the army to attack the city, his plan was more vicious, and drove Li Mi's old troops to Guanxia to attack the city.

It's best to break through the barrier, and if you can't, you have to borrow the hands of the Tang Army to consume seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

To tell the truth, of the more than 200,000 troops, almost half of the soldiers led by Li Mi's old department accounted for them, and they were still the most combat-effective group in the army.

When their heads broke under Tongguan, the Henan army was naturally greatly injured and could not continue.

But at this time, Wang Shichong will no longer take care of these, at this time his mentality is similar to Yang Guang under Liaodong City and Li Micha under Luoyang City, and he is paranoid to a certain extent, so naturally he will not think about it, and the consequences of this battle are not within his range of bearing.

Zheng Guo's army was lined up under the pass, and it seemed that the momentum was indeed not small, with swords and guns lined up, and flags all over the field, compared to Li Shentong's 200,000 army at the beginning, it was even better.

The army was led by Hao Xiaode and Wu Heimin.

Both of them are from Shandong, Hao Xiaode is the leader of the Shandong Righteous Army, alongside Wang Bo, Sun Xuanya, etc., both of whom were relatively early in the Shandong Uprising.

They were scurrying back and forth like headless flies, not even knowing where they would go or which day they would lose their lives.

What's funny is that God seems to be good to them, many leaders of the rebel army have been defeated, but Wang Bo and Hao Xiaode can still live to this day, it is really not easy, this has nothing to do with talent, it can only be said to be lucky.

Wu Heimin's background is not high, but he is a serious officer and soldier, he once accompanied Hu'er, Zhou Fashang conquered Liaodong, and later led troops to suppress bandits in Shandong, tossing and turning, and returned to Wang Shichong's subordinates.

In fact, he is not Li Mi's old department, but because of his relationship in Shandong, he is relatively close to Qin Qiong and Cheng Zhijie, so he and Hao Xiaode have become a pair of difficult brothers.

At this time, the two of them gathered together, looking at Tongguan and their mouths were bitter, how many people would die after this battle? What's left? Will the family wealth accumulated over the years be ruined under Tongguan like this?

But helplessly, they have no way to retreat, and if the two armies face each other, if they are half-hearted, I am afraid the result will be worse.

Both of them could feel the stern gaze from the emperor, and even could hear the gloating laughter behind the battle, who made the two of them quite strong, and they were so fierce when they were fighting for food and grass soldiers before?

"For a while, leave it to me......" Wu Heimin said with a wry smile.

The slender and tall Hao Xiaode nodded indispensably, and muttered a sentence after a while, "It's not a merit, it's not a merit, it's a matter of who comes first and who comes last, just take turns." ”
